Almost fall into the pitfall. Have seen friends around spending 300-400$ in "custom" keyboards.

Used a couple of mechanical keyboards over time: Razer, Anne Pro II, Logitech G something, custom made, Asus Rog TKL etc. Well, used those for fun with PC but my major workhorse has always been Mac setup: MacBook + Monitor + Magic Keyboard/Trackpad, and productivity has always been there with this setup.

Although I spent some time with Mechanical keyboards, still Magic Keyboard TKL scores the highest, in terms of productivity, stability, comfort.

You can have fun w/mech keyboards, but I'd rather spend my time onto something that actually matters. Go with simplicity without overthinking and wasting time.

When you sit around talking about choice of living area without weighing, or even acknowledging these connections, do you realize how inhuman this sounds? Do you not have similar things binding you to a place?

Shit even specialist doctors, have you ever depended on one? If you're needing long-term specialist care you got some major shit to deal with. Rapport, trust, history with an individual doctor is an important part of that care. And people need care aside from just the doctors. Who is driving you to these appointments, caring for you afterwards? Are they coming to the new city with you?

There are a lot of things in a place you know. You can't reduce all or really very many of them down to mere transactions in a marketplace.
Kind of tangential but there's a group called "Ecology Action" that have developed what they call GROW BIOINTENSIVE® Sustainable Mini-Farming "that when practiced correctly, nurtures healthy soil fertility, produces high yields, conserves resources and can be used successfully by almost everyone."

http://growbiointensive.org/grow_main.html

The system uses 5000ft² (465m²) per person, provides a nutritionally-complete diet, and builds topsoil volume and fertility over time.

They're selling it but there's more than enough information to grok the system w/o paying (if you're broke or just cheap.)

Quoting from the above link, the key points are:

- Double-Dug, Raised Beds

- Composting

- Intensive Planting

- Companion Planting

- Carbon Farming

- Calorie Farming

- The Use of Open-Pollinated Seeds

- A Whole-System Farming Method

> Most life in nature occurs at the interface of soil, water, air and sun. GROW BIOINTENSIVE soil preparation practices create growing beds with more surface area to maximize the effect of nature’s life processes. Double-dug beds, with soil loosened to a depth of 24 inches, aerate the soil, facilitate root growth, and improve water retention. The health and vigor of the soil are maintained through the use of compost. Close plant spacing is used to protect soil microorganisms, reduce water loss, and maximize yields. Companion planting facilitates the optimal use of nutrients, light and water, encourages beneficial insects and creates a vibrant mini-ecosystem within the garden. A focus on the production of calories for the farmer and carbon for the soil ensures that both the farmer and the soil will be adequately fed and that the farm will be sustainable. The use of open-pollinated seeds helps to preserve genetic diversity and enables gardeners to develop their own acclimatized cultivars. All of the components of this system must be used together for optimum effect and to avoid depleting the soil.

I think this is another all-too-convenient scapegoat, similar to "we just need more houses." I would again suggest that perhaps the problem really truly is that people are using houses as collectibles rather than as places to live.

Zillow’s current value estimates are their opinion (or what they want people to think is their opinion). Regardless, it is no different than a real estate agent or a cashier at target saying they think a specific property is worth $x.

At the end of the day, a buyer and seller coming together and agreeing on a price is the only thing that matters. A seller pays as much as they do because they do not have a better option, and a buyer sells for as little as they do because they have no better option. Zillow cannot affect this.

Memory, disk and cache could be deterministic in an emulator. Imagine an emulator for embedded software.

I'm not sure why you would assume that the average school bus buyer can't do a spreadsheet. Our local suburban NY school district is fairly run-of-the mill, and has a budget of $84 million with several million dollars of that being for transportation. We have our own busses and drivers, and they spend about a quarter million dollars a year on diesel fuel.

Well this is a reply to a reply, so it's more to clarify where my point was missed.

But to address this directly, I don't think owner/not-owner is the right mental model. Having been on both sides, you don't want to stress yourself out even if you are the owner. What's healthy is to focus on what you can control and try to get the best outcome you can. Using lack of ownership stake or impact as a reason for choosing any behavior just doesn't make sense to me as a first principle.

I realize this may not make sense to people who have spent their entire career in giant corporate moral mazes, but for me it's actually pretty important to have some integrity around my work, regardless of any lack of control and corporate bullshit I have to deal with.

I don't know what the split is elsewhere, but it's worth noting that for BART in the Bay Area, at least, makes something like $10m/yr, compared to nearly $500m/yr in actual fares - so, in exchange for approximately 2% of annual revenues, we get BART trains and stations covered in ads.

Edit: Thought to look this up for SFMTA - 2020 proposed budget (projections as of 2019, chosen because it's the last "normal" year) - total revenue $1.2Bn, "Advertising, interest, and service fees" $54m.
Uhhh, what part of "customer-obsessed" implies anything positive to you? Drug dealers are also "customer-obsessed".

Yes, that's a great point. Even if you ignore the usual idle time between the morning and afternoon runs, I have to imagine a range of 150-200 miles would cover ~95% of use cases. The bus problem therefore should be much easier than the long haul truck problem. Plus, there's no trailer so you could run the battery pack the entire length of the bus.

I don't think this article makes a good argument for this style because it reads like someone's powerpoint slides. It doesn't flow well visually and there isn't enough text for any kind of nuance.

> I'm aware of specific stories where bad-faith tenants have made enforcement difficult, but I'm also aware of enough specific stories from the other side where tenants -- even some who have committed no violations -- have found themselves without housing to know that as a total generalization, these statements are false.

I'm aware of hundreds of stories about homicidal cardiologists, but I wouldn't try to make a judgement about cardiologists based on that because I have no reason to think the stories I'm exposed are a representative sample of cardiologists. In your case, tenants who have committed no violations finding themselves evicted make a much more sympathetic story than landlords who want to evict an annoying tenant, so I'd expect the former to be very overrepresented in what you hear.

I bought a number of plastic "jerry cans" that all had stickers on them saying you shouldn't use gasoline or diesel to start fires.

Oddly the reason why is different for the two fluids. Gasoline can catch fire quickly and form a fireball, whereas diesel is hard to ignite and won't help start a fire.

> The improvement from mediocre to good is larger than the improvement from good to better.

This is broadly true of a lot of things. And the price change from mediocre to good is generally way smaller than the price change from good to better.

Since you mentioned guitars (which are a nice microcosm), one thing that has changed from the past is that manufacturing is now super consistent so when quality tracks price it does so much more closely than in the past.

In the past, with guitars, you could find the "stage queen"--that one instrument that happened to be made by hands far more qualified than expected and consequently much better than expected at the price point. The cost, however, was that often at a price point you got some absolute dogs that were terrible instruments.

With modern manufacturing, that doesn't really happen anymore. But, while you lose the stage queen, you gain the fact that spending $X nets you practically the same guitar at the same price over and over. This is better for the amateurs (a guitar at a price point is roughly consistent and decent) but worse for the experts ("unique" instruments that they can distinguish are nowhere near as common).
Brazil has some laws about what app's 'are permitted to do'. Whatsapp was blocked more than once, but eventually complied; Telegram didn't.
Yeah true, couldn't find London specific stats. Fair guess is that the lions share of UK to earners are based in London.
FWIW laws like that are not enforced in Germany by public regulators but by competitors and associations sending out endless of the infamous costly cease-and-desist letters ("Abmahnung"). So just one competitor (or business/consumer association) with enough will and money to fight that question through courts will be enough to settle such questions. Happens all the time with consumer protection laws. There is a large industry of lawyers for both sides.

Your online shop says it offers "insured shipping"? Cease-and-desist letter in your mailbox next day. You don't give a price per unit (kg, l, etc.)? Cease-and desist. Send the required information on the mandatory 14 day return period in the email body instead of a PDF attachment? Cease-and-desist. Don't comply to just one of the other ever changing consumer protections laws? Cease-and-desist.

I absolutely agree that any writing much past one normal monitor's worth of writing could use more structure than just a pile of paragraphs. (Though a pile of paragraphs is still much better than a pile of sentences!)

But it is a strange leap from "Too much writing without more structure is hard to read" to "You should use lists specifically". It's perfectly valid to use, you know, headers. Subheaders. Actual lists, bulleted and ordered. Horizontal rules if you're feeling feisty and/or old school. Essayist does try to give motivations but I feel like there was significant cheating by comparing lists to unstructured essays. Lists vs. structured essays are a much more give & take situation, where lists only triumph in certain limited ways.
A tesla won't get the tax credit any more (they've sold too many cars). Unless that's changed with one of the covid packages.
I get why you want this, but I'm not sure how it actually work in practice without also sacrificing interoperability.

There are a number of reasons why we can basically expect everything to converge on all computers behaving exactly the same, even if the interop standard notionally says they don't have to:

* Any observable behavior will eventually be relied upon. You know, Hyrum's Law.

* Extending a protocol means that someone, somewhere is behaving differently in response to that protocol extension. This means extending a protocol changes its semantics, and that people will either rely on the extension being supported [1], or they will (accidentally or maliciously) create crap data in the extended namespace and penalize anyone who actually tries to use it [2].

* In other words, there is no such thing as optional features in standards. Either the feature works, and implementations that do not support it get fucked*, or it doesn't work, because the implementations that do not support it had enough clout to make it unusable.

* If vendor-locked-in solutions provide a better UX, a lot of people will just use that [3]. Especially if the locked-in version is a superset of the standard, and everyone gradually just moves to the version with proprietary extensions because fixing the interop hazards is more important than whatever feature ties them to a niche implementation. Consider how Linux EEE'ed POSIX. Was there a conspiracy, like with ActiveDirectory and LDAP? Or did it just sort of happen?
