Then the solution is to make yourself capable of getting other jobs.
We do not need subsidized housing further driving up prices.

We need fewer people in the market and that means less availability of large loans and taxes on commercial real estate loans. You can't have so many people competing to buy real estate to rent to you and pushing out people who want to buy.

And people need to be comfortable when a region doesn't want to grow, force them to curtail their commercial zoning, and people just need to leave and go somewhere else. There's plenty of space elsewhere.

I am a doctor. That's not a strawman at all.

>Doctors are trained to apply scientific approaches to bridge the gap between the broad science and the individual patient.

No. Really, I mean it. Doctors are trained in textbook approaches, not in the scientific method. The less creative, the better the doctor. That's precisely what evidence-based medicine is, and it's what allowed us to leave the Dark Ages of paternalistic medicine.

> The big health co's do not like doctors doing this because it takes time and is expensive. So, they tie their hands because they only want the doctors to focus on the easiest fixes that solve the most problems.

We tie our own hands. With guidelines. Yes, the system is tuned to a limited investment of time and money in each patient for distributive justice reasons, but guidelines are (mostly) there to discourage crackpot medicine.
>It’s a no-brainer!

...aside from how it's funded.

>along with a ton of other scattered welfare programs that have lots of administrative overhead and the typical middleman industries that leech off of government programs.

That sounds great in theory, if everyone is the type of person that can take care of himself for $15k (or whatever) a year. But what about people with special needs? eg. people with mental health problems or medical conditions requiring expensive therapy? Unless you think we should let those people fend for themselves, you'll still need welfare programs to help those people, which mean all the "administrative overhead and the typical middleman industries that leech off of government programs" that you're so against.
Ask HN: Should people move away from cities?
“Everywhere is over. It’s not happening anywhere. There’s no point in city-chasing.” - Eric Weinstein.

Since Covid, there's been a lot of talk about leaving cities and moving to smaller towns and the country-side. I also saw a growing interest in ideas like coliving, eco villages, and digital nomads.

It seems to me that a lot of people are either looking for a change, or for community - and aren't finding it in the cities. The internet seems to have subsumed all of culture and everyone's energy, so that you're either in the rat race, working for the interests of the internet, or escaping to the country-side to farm potatoes. I'm wary of moving to a rural area, because I can't really see anything going on there either. Won't most people just become more isolated than they feel in the city?

Of course, I understand many people are perfectly happy and have strong roots where they live, and many people who feel that living in the city is just... well, better. That's not what I'm talking about. There are many people who are unrooted. I don't care about the restaurants, the shops, or the concerts. Don't care about beautiful architecture or finding a group to play Dungeons & Dragons with. Those things, for many people, sound good on paper but the reality is often very disappointing. For me, the city is a place to come to once a month to do one thing then leave - but I wouldn't know where to leave to.

What I'm not seeing anywhere is a grounded movement of people doing something cool. Not consuming, not escaping, but doing. I'm tired of talking to people who are "just looking around" or "studying". My eyes instantly glaze over when someone starts telling me about their incomprehensible job, or the amazingly inconsequential places they've been to, or their favorite consumables.

Another quote that resonates with me, from a song called Seattle Party: "Your tattoos are so deep, they really make me think /s", perfectly encapsulates my utter despair with living in the city.

What I'm talking about is in the quote from Eric Weinstein. Where are you supposed to go when you want something more (or less)? Where are the Willy Wonkas at? Where are the easy riders?

Are cities in general dead places? Is it just me?

This article tries to exocitize (and perhaps fetishize) something I'm quite familiar with, so I figured I'd share my perspective. My parents live in one of these such communities in Florida and I'm afraid they're much less outlandish and exotic than you might expect. When people get to retirement age, they suddenly have have more time than they've had in 40 years, and they're unsure how to spend it. These planned communities (Margaritaville is mentioned in the article, but Century Village is the undisputed king of south east Florida) help solve that problem - lots of facilities and activities and most importantly, lots of people who suddenly have the same problem.

The thing that's striking about these communities is that they're extremely lucrative business opportunities. Obvious revenue streams come from initially selling the lots, but I'm sure they're making a ton of money from the quarterly association dues and the incidental fees and concession sales.

My mother lived near a golf course that was for many years disued. Eventually, an investment group purchase the course for low seven figures, and then turned around and developed it into a retirement community with 150 lots, selling each (with a semi-customized, templated house on it) for mid 300s. I'll let you do the math, but they made a fortune.

If you take away one insight from this article, it's that the middle class from the last 40 years needs a place to retire to that doesn't have snow or high taxes and there's a lot of money to be made from this opporunity.
I think that may be aiming a little too high. How about defining it as the minimum you need to be able to feed yourself, have a roof over your head, and healthcare without needing food stamps, medicaid, or other basic government assistance.
In general? Yeah, I'm sure both factors are considered in many cases (as well as things like keeping long term career options open). But this thread was specifically about where the floor for minimum wage should be set. If it is set to a point where a couple can just afford a place to live with two workers, then the decision is by definition made based on poverty, right?
No exact answers exist but probabilities are very real.

3 people being simultaneously not fit for the job is quite unlikely.

You have a choice here. Either 1 person is unfit for the job or 3 people. 1 person being unfit though not for sure is Far more likely.

By one person I mean the manager is not fit. But in these cases usually the manager side steps the numbers and thinks he's doing the right thing.
Massive, major flaw in their argument.
"without seeing the raw data" is not true. At least in the UK.

All raw study data, published and un published must be provided before a medicine will be reimbursed. It is reviewed by teams who do their utmost to prove the med is worthless.

Same for the FDA afaik. All the data is generally "commercial in confidence" so any old twitteraty can not download and misinterpret it.

All trials must be registered on Clinicaltrials.gov or they cannot be used as evidence.

A large number of states don't allow local governments to set local minimum wages. Many of those states are as diverse as you describe the US. Trying to adjust the minimum wage may not be trying to boil an ocean but is trying to boil a sea or the great lakes.
fwiw these are wrong opinions, not "wrong" opinions. the people who are clueful about things and have already understood enough about social engineering to understand those issues just don't have the dopamine to explain it to you or anybody else you mislead, so it's useful to just push those goofy ideas down in the sort order.

For what it's worth, if you actually want to discuss those issues with me, feel free- ping @mimir:xmppwocky.net on Element. Make a throwaway account if you're worried. I'll explain why those ideas are wrong, one-on-one, in private, off-the-record. It's fun to think about "scary" and "dangerous" ideas (you know this already), but it's just not useful to do in public. Doesn't work.

So it goes.
Lots of rich companies threw money at the problem of Linux UI, Linux application packaging+sandboxing, and several other things. The result is the Android OS ecosystem, where each hardware vendor has its own proprietary shell, in capitalist competition with other vendors’ shells.

I’m not even saying that that’s a bad thing. As it happens, Android has been generalized and generalized from its original use-case until it is today a quite-workable desktop PC OS.
EITC is too little too late. I agree that this is the job of the government, to make sure everyone has livable wages, but basing something on an optionally claimable tax credit which most low/moderate income people are only dimly aware of and gives you a net payment from the IRS doesn't help when the cost of living rises suddenly and you face the question of eviction.

In general the US government is very bad at handing out benefits to its population. The closest thing that it can do with consistency is task the IRS with debits and credits on a yearly basis, a task that hasn't changed in decades. Until the US gov't can get better at this kind of work, any benefit scheme is bound to fail.
How do you define success in this case?

I live in a neighborhood where the median income is below the national average by about 10% and above the national average by about the same amount. This implies to me that there are is a fair bit of economic diversity.

Also, I very rarely encounter a service worker that does not live within 25 minutes of the establishments in my neighborhood unless they do so by choice to live in a much hipper neighborhood.

Part of this is a university that stabilizes the real estate prices and attracts a lot of low income students who take on service jobs, but also a big part of it is housing diversity. Within 1 block of me are a commercial district, a high rise building, many mid-rise buildings, lots of townhomes and a handful of single family homes including at least 2 I’d call mansions. This housing diversity came about due to several phases over the course of over 100 years of urban planning that specifically centered on making it possible for lots of housing desires to be fulfilled in a single place.

It’s entirely possible if there is enough will. But that will is lacking.
At least we can agree he's a dictator. I don't think he's a genius, I think his personal genius loci drives to keeping himself in power and some self aggrandizement, and this drove him to make very uninformed, poor choices.

Certainly I agree he would tend to believe his paid-for feed over the one he can tune into freely. I have been reading about Sorge, and the extent to which the centre refused to believe the edge operatives telling them about German intentions is just .. insane. So I see a strong parallel there. If you get enough of your yesmen saying "they are lying" it would be hard to say "yea.. but I think i will reflect on this lie" sometimes.

Ultimately I think this will be quite good for QT/kde in the long term. Gnome/GTK gets a lot of corporate support, especially from red hat, but seeing the issues pop OS had with GTK makes me hopeful that more companies will adopt QT.

Another armchair fear monger spreads nonsense. It goes wrong from the very beginning: Russian anti-satellite missiles fires. You do not do that unless you want to get nuked. Of course considering how imbecile Russian military command is, I would be not completely surprised (every military experts says that it was unthinkable to even consider real possibility of overpowering Ukrainian army with given Russian forces).
>> You can't break the back of modularity-induced fragmentation and make a consistent GUI without making a few people unhappy with the UI design that the majority chose

Not sure what that even means. The majority are not the Gnome developers, and many users will just adapt to whatever they're fed, even if it's worse.

>> That is Gnome. Gnome has become a top-down project that values consistency/coherency over modularity/theming.

No. People aren't complaining about a lack of consistency or a lack of theming (some do). They are complaining about a shitty design where the elements are consistently nonsensical and harder to understand than past version of the same.

Top-down means a few people who are at "the top" think they know better. Not that they're great designers either - they are copying stupid trends that other "design" people came up with. This stuff is complained about on all OSes these days. It's not a vocal minority either, and you can tell because nobody complained that GTK was falling beind and needed to update to a modern "flat" design.
To conduct good clinical research, I think you need to understand the constraints of clinical practice. It's not only a matter of holding the title, but more of practical experience.
> I can't understand why the major camera brands (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, etc.) aren't open at least to the concept of SDK's to control their cameras

Because why give something out for free when you can offer that stuff only in the most expensive models?

If you look at http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php http://digicamcontrol.com/cameras its almost universally older stuff and hiend models. At some point they stopped exposing control in order to upsell.

This is 60s boomer philosophy (it's called "cities as growth engines".) The people running California cities now also believe this, which is why around 1970 they essentially made it illegal to ever build or change anything. This was supposed to stop people from moving to California, but since they won't even build enough housing to let their own children live there it's just brought us where we are now.
The standards of safety and ethical engineering were very different during that time. I don't think William Osman is building an unsafe X-Ray, whereas I doubt that Victorians understood the full impact and implications of the early X-Rays.
Easy for someone who works at Apple to say "just throw money at the problem" while there is so much more to consider. Design as a workflow for Open Source design (as in UI/UX) hasn't even been worked on that much. Ideally, open source contributors work on projects because they care about it, and want to improve it. I'm not sure how many designers are using GTK applications day-to-day to care enough about it to start contributing. There is a learning curve as well on how to contribute to these large projects.

It'd be great if it could be solved with just one pass of design work and then it's done, but I'm afraid the task is much bigger than that, and "big wig design firms" are expensive, so are design people as well. Not to mention the other problems around that.
Over 2/3 of regular users are still using 1080p[1]. If your design looks bad on FHD then it looks bad to most people.

If you have a realistic understanding you know that all those hours of video are being kept essentially forever, and that current ai capabilities are more than good enough to keep an eye on your every move using that data.

Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, you, personally, are being tracked, and that traking will remain and may be actionable at any time in the future.

Just be sure you don't piss off a cop, otherwise he might just look you up on the database and see that those cameras you thought weren't watching you actually captured a number or minor infractions for which you will now be fined.
> Publication bias is a well know issue, resolved for more than a decade.

How is that resolved? This is not what I see in my meta-analyses.
The reason no one is building expensive apartments in these areas with socialist like governments is because of things like rent control and laws that disadvantage landlords, and which make the prospect of leasing to poor people completely undesirable. This is why a huge number of the apartments in California are sitting empty, because it is still better to have an empty apartment than having a poor person living there and paying you money. Any laws that force people to build low quality homes will just mean no one builds at all.

People always want to control everything, and when there is a problem they think they can fix it by forcing everyone to do what they want. No one ever wants to consider that it is them that is causing the problem in the first place.
This and the fact that to convincingly overpower defenders, attackers should have 1:3 superiority in numbers i.e. about 600000 men.
The only time it matters is if you get enough traction on social media. That's when the cost of losing you ($100, i.e. a number approaching $0) gets multiplied by the millions in revenue they might lose from bad publicity.

I love this idea. I really hope your technology is more widely adopted.
Making friends is best accomplished while doing something else, not as the focused activity.

People often make friends with people that they work with, or play sports or games with, or do hobbies with, or take classes with, take shared transport with, or some other shared, repeated experience.

Dating services work, which is sort of similar, but a friendship service would be kind of weird. If you want to make friends, join a sports organization, take a class, meet with hobby groups, etc. Maybe your local parks organization has some classes that are more of fun activities to do. You can do online discussion groups etc, too. I made plenty of friends on IRC, and I still talk to a few of them.
Getting rid of themes and sticking to "one true design" doesn't mean "use a shitty flat design".
It also doesn't look like any sort of policy suggestion and more like an attempt to size up the situation and see if they can get away with lower wages. Market forces will still prevail regardless of what anyone predicts.
Tokyo has. Their population continually grows and their rent is flat.

The secret is Japan doesn't let cities run their own zoning, because they'd just use it to ban new people but try to keep the jobs.
Why is it such a hard question? Half of the world does it this way. If implemented right, it would be a socialist democracy and function mostly as Scandinavian countries do - free market for everything, except the stuff that is affecting basic quality of life for majority of population.
IMHO, the similarity angle is nearly a red herring. "Girl from Rio" by Anitta is unequivocally a copy of "Girl from Ipanema" but it has proper attribution so there's no problem. What really matters is this chain of attribution: For Levitating, did Dua Lipa collaborate w/ Artikal Sound System or otherwise appropriate artistic output from them in a more significant capacity than any other permutation of song pairs from the other dozen similar songs? And if so, was Artikal Sound System cheated out of income? I'd argue that no, and that they probably are getting more publicity from the whole stunt than they otherwise would have.

There's a bazillion examples of flat out copying being considered perfectly fine: the lyrics for Anne Marie's "2002" clearly uses iconic lyrics from Britney Spears pretty much verbatim, and in a way that is obviously intended to refer to Britney, but the thing is that many many other artists before her have done similar homages (e.g. Calvin Harris' "My Way" references Sinatra's, etc) so there's a fairly strong reason to believe that a lawsuit based solely on similarity grounds would go nowhere.
