Let's be honest. Lack of parking and paid parking kills businesses.

Rent control needs means testing. It suppresses mobility when the googler making $300k doesn’t move to a place they’d rather have because their current unit is so far below market rate, which hurts the minimum wage worker who could have lived there.
> I think that was the biggest fear of those who opposed lockdowns.

Not for me, at least. I opposed lockdowns (and still do), even though I never thought it was realistic that we’d have a China-style one in NYC. I think what we did have was bad enough that it caused more unhappiness than it prevented.
I’m sure you can let them know you prefer only transactional conversations, as OP suggested, and they will stop bothering you with it.
Can't answer the second question. As for the first one: in Germany, you pay rent plus an advance for certain utilities (heating, cold and hot water, trash collection, general maintenance of common areas etc.). The rent without the advance is commonly called "cold" rent (Kaltmiete). The advance is variable based on actual usage. So the common way to compare rents is by excluding that.

Hence why the push for car free cities.
Europe also thought that trade is good for peace, but it is not if you trade with some countries with long history of double crossing others.
It's probably more nuanced than that. If 100% of people wanted a 32-hour work week, a law wouldn't be necessary - we would just have a 32-hour work week. The fact that the number is less than 100% is the reason we need a law, because the incentives aren't aligned between those who want it and those who don't.
And? Is Engadget Russian shill? Hard to believe but still this title is beyond hostile.
And then go to cities that implemented lightrail and bike lanes and got rid of some car parking to do it. Talk to the business owners there. None of them have recovered to anything like the preconstruction levels of business... And those are the ones who survived the long closure of the road to put it in.

At least, that's the takeaway from the metro nearest me. At least they got a couple of shiny new luxury apartment buildings out of it. Maybe the hope is to gentrify all of the poorer businesses out to be replaced with hipster shops that won't complain.
hmm, as a grad student a lot of this seems hugely hyperbolic to me

"slaves at worst or indentured servants" is a rather harsh way to put it, it's not like you can't quit your PhD (many people do this after getting their Masters, so the times spent in the program is not wasted).

"gets massive benifits from having highly educated slaves producing intellectual property that can be sold and licensed" is again way overstating things. Very little of research is worth much as far as IP; in my 5 years as grad student I only know of one research project that resulted in a patent. The production of IP is much more of a thing in industry research, as would make sense.

"The grad student of course gets no benifit from this." in CS (especially AI, where I work) this is not really true, doing research lets you get really good research positions in industry, even assuming you don't want to stick around in academia.

Don't get me wrong, there is a ton wrong about academia/the grad student system. I really wish I was paid anything near my value on the job market. But I think your view is way too negative.
I live in a suburb in northern Europe. Mix of modest and not-so-modest townhouses. I sometimes choose to go to the second-nearest grocery store 900m away because I want to walk more than the 300m to the nearest one.
The market hasn't developed housing for people on the current minimum wage, so I have my doubts that it would be any different with UBI
Rents will simply rise by whatever the amount of the basic income is.
Anyone who has visited major Asian cities already knows that grocery businesses and customers both prefer dense cities - because everything happens on an app and a delivery system.

You don't even have to worry about weather or biking or bulk groceries because of modern technology.

Suburban parking hellholes are a human aberration that needs to be left for the history books.
It is more like India doesn't trust that the west actually has an intent of stopping the conflict.

Or that Europe would in anyway want to give up on its Russian gas and oil, while pointing fingers at India which buys less than 1%.

In fact they fear it might go the same way as the sanctions on Iran, where India had to go through Germany banks to pay its Iranian dues, where Indian banks were expected to abide by sanctions while German banks were not.
> It's a lack of interest in lived/organic/patina/messy-because-of-life aesthetics, and a tendency towards pure/empty/conceptual aesthetics.

I think he's cheating, then, by comparing a real estate listing with his own lived-in home. Modern architecture and design spaces are just as conducive to lived-in-ness, when people actually live in them. You can hang art on the wall and accumulate whatever decorative touches and knick-knacks appeal to you or carry sentimental value.

Wanting the architecture and built interior design of a home to reflect the personal life and "mystery" of its inhabitants is classist as well, because only a limited number of people can afford professional architecture and design services to customize a home to reflect their personality. Most people customize a home themselves, via their own decoration, furniture, books, and other cherished objects.

In fact it seems bizarrely oppressive to assume that the professional designers of a domestic space need to stock a home with life before it is inhabited, as if the people moving in will otherwise suffer a deficiency of it. Whose life do you expect to see in an uninhabited house? What kind of Frankenstein's monster version of life do we expect the expert professionals to synthesize in their modeling programs, to create the illusion of a space being shaped by a living presence that has never been there?

Producing brand-new spaces that have the same aesthetic as lived-in spaces strikes me as something the machines will do after we are gone, manufacturing houses and adding childish crayon scribbles inside because there are no real children left to draw on the walls.
I got an old, cheap copy of "The Art of Analog Layout" (Hastings), which describes these structures in detail. For the most part, the structures are fairly easy to recognize after you've seen them once or twice. But then there are the bizarre mystery circuits that require some puzzle-solving. For instance, where they combine a couple of transistors to save a bit of space.

I hire relatively entry level folks for advanced product technical support so my funnel is naturally large since they aren’t specialists and I can teach/train the stuff to anyone who is a technical hobbyist or enthusiast. This has been my best way to keep top of the funnel high, over the years I also got more and more comfortable hiring folks with less and less technical/startup background but mostly my advice isn’t helpful for roles that require a lot of specialization. At that point it’s good to have a solid network, a good reputation, and a successful company. That’s another thing that’s kept me from having to expand my funnel much - my company has been doing really well for eight years and is only becoming more well known and mostly we get a lot of inbound. Besides that, hire good recruiters, sourcers, and recruiting coordinators. They know their shit.
Urban planning is probably as old as cities. Based on my limited experience, European planners just focus more on actual planning than mere zoning.

When an area is being (re)developed, the planners try to figure out many of the details. How should be public transport and parking organized? Where are the walking and biking routes? Where should the parks and commercial spaces be? And so on. Older European cities are not as much organically grown as planned and replanned over centuries.
> It would be difficult for me to estimate how many times I've bypassed certain shops/businesses because there's either no parking or the on-street parking is full up.

If there's no parking available it means that it has not been priced properly. For optimal use of parking space, at any given point it should priced such that only 85% of it is being used (thus always allowing for new arrivals), but not cheap enough so that people spend an "inordinate" amount of time taking up a spot.

See the book The High Cost of Free Parking by Shoup for details and references:

You can definitely get a studio in the LA area for like 1400. Close to public transit too.
> Agree, and let's also remember that these are wholly voluntary situations

Someone is in a position of power over someone else, and is exploiting that, and a response is to claim that this is a "wholly voluntary situation"?

Really?!
Hopefully they'll send more drones to mars, moon, etc and less rovers. Unless there are technical reasons I'm not aware of, why wouldn't they scout with drones instead of rovers?
So, we went from a cost of a bit over $3k/month for infrastructure, to almost $15k/month (would be more with AWS). Yes, you have to buy the servers, yourself at extra cost, but on Google most people run instances on Haswell/Skylake, which is >5 year old stuff, so a quick calculation for buying top of the line every 5 years (which for the first couple of years at least gives you faster hardware than on GCP) comes to about extra $2-3k/month. Also, we had 1 (very good) sysadmin and 1 other developer who assisted part-time sys-admining, to a cloud that has some extra bells and whistles, but requires 2 full-time sysadmins (we are temporarily left with 1 and he can't keep up). Part of the problem is that the whole architecture was very fine-tuned to run on our customized rack servers (it was doing happily for almost 15 years), so a lot of things did not translate that easily in the cloud. I guess if you have a small system, or designed from scratch for the cloud a single cloud platform person might be enough. Overall, there are some extra disadvantages beyond cost - e.g. Cloud SQL manages some things for you, but there is more lag compared to when our super fast DB server was on the same rack as the application servers, and other such little performance things that we could fine tune when we had control of the hardware.
Yeah, but you can't easily store it in high density areas where square footage is expensive. Personally, I think this is a significant negative for city living, and a reason why I prefer the suburbs.

Not true. Kyiv, Ukraine keeps building skyscrapers with almost 0 parking in it (althoug there are dedicated parking buildings within about 10-15 minute walk, not as convenient). And everyone hates it that way. People keep complaining. Developers keep building.

As one developer told me -- that simply financially makes more sense for them to build an apartment instead of parking. Why should they solve other people's business?

At first I was outraged, but now I kinda see a long term benefits of that, even thought it's harder for me to own a car. Hopefully that'd lead to improvement of public transportation or invention of new ways to move.
yes the data is right, forests are maintained in Europe, but we would need even more vegetation to cope with the pollution, that's more the idea there

That would only explain remtoe workers, However non-remote jobs are having the same problems. Hell the MCD's in my area now has signs wanting people at up to $16/hr (min starting is $13 now)

Government policies are never the correct way to solve societal problems, even taking the premise the the "evil profit motive" is the actual reason we have seen abuse in the past (which I disagree with), the resolution to that is NEVER government as any honestly look at government policies requires one to conclused that at best the government policy just takes credit for something that was happening anyway, but more often the government policy slows or stopps the trend to improving lives

Just look at the "War on Poverty", at the start of that poverty was dropping FAST, then the government steps in to "solve" the problem of poverty that the evil free market could not (even though it was), and poverty rates flatlined.

Trillions and trillions of dollars spent later, and the government still has not solved that problem, where the free market likely would have if allowed to continue...
This is a different sense of 'old' as in "What is its age?" That's a vague question unless there's no change. e.g. Ship of Theseus or stepping in the same river twice.

The image (information) of Methuselah we see is 190 years old. Saying farthest vs oldest disambiguates.

Unrelated observation: everything travels through spacetime at the speed of light. It's not a speed limit, it's the only speed. If you're not travelling through space then you're travelling through a purely time-line at c. Really makes one wonder how much time we casually waste.
Yep! Now it’s literally “it’s not even as good as Picasso!”

Very amusing to watch
Writing a guideline is not quite the same as investing several million in the development and testing of proven-effective design. Back in the day Apple did the right thing and rigorously tested its design hypotheses: there was a specific, fact-based reason behind each important gui design choice beyond “it looks good.”

I say back in the day, because IMO Apple no longer makes purposeful UI design choices. For instance, the iOS browser window-closer in the shrunken-windows view of open tabs, has its close button on the right. Every other close button is on the left. Apple has lost the f’ing plot.
It's not the norm to refer to people by their names if they aren't known. Otherwise when someone says "I had to watch Jake play baseball for 2 hours", you end up with the response being "who is Jake"?

Also even in my wildest communist fantasies it’s completely infeasible for UBI to cover a 1br market rent in a big city without that immediately causing completely ridiculous inflation. Fiddling with monetary policy doesn’t magically 3x the housing supply.

I’m serious when I say I do not lie. My daughter is only 2 but I plan to simply tell her Santa Claus is a story we like to pretend is real.

Of course she will lie and be lied to, but it won’t come from me.
The next evolution is something that also sandboxes the project. A random npm library that gets installed shouldn't be allowed to access anything other than your project root.

But it also has to be fast and convenient. Docker is still too slow to fill that role.
> I don't personally have a single friend in North America or Europe to whom it would be a "reasonable alternative" to travel on highways (where it is prohibited) by bike or bus and invest maybe 90 minutes to simply get to the closest grocery store

All of your friends have to take highways to reach a grocery store? That's nuts! Is this some kind of international agrarian hermit club?

Or are you saying you don't have many friends? There are more possible friends to be made in more populous areas. Come, join us!
This is a bad title to an other unsurprising article.

Managers don't fear they will become irrelevant. It's bad managers who are having trouble figuring out how to manage without seeing people at their desk.

What's mind blowing to me is that despite two years of being forced to evaluate people by their impact rather than by their physical presence, so many managers still don't have a clue how to do this right.

Meanwhile, healthy remote teams are thriving, and competent middle managers there provide incredible value, from managing execution to keeping the social tissue of their teams together.
> And? Your point? Speaking to diplomats is suddenly taboo?

You can speak on phone, receiving one from countries killing civilians on purpose is making a statement. If you make a statement you will be heard, and I don't think many EU countries will be happy. Not to mention, you know humanitarian aspects - you can buy your oil without blood.
From demanding all computer screens face them to micromanaging time that required logging every minute in 15 minute intervals. I've seen it. From email snooping to timestamp logging to phone call recording tracking micromanagers are alive and well .

Is oil the only thing a country can be dependent on?

Also, what are you? Some Eastern European, who has some emotional ties to the region? 99% of Indians have never heard of Ukraine, and yet, Indians should sacrifice their one steady ally who has stood with India all these decades?

In order to have neighborhoods where cars are not required, you need density. That means fewer single family homes and more apartments. Many Americans have underdeveloped social skills and don't want to be/live near other people.

Fortunately, in a country of 330M people, it is impossible for every household to be kings of their little kingdom, as house prices are teaching us.

And, yes, I attribute the desire of some to go out of their way to avoid the company of others entirely on underdeveloped social skills. We are humans, not wild beasts, and we should not shun our fellow humans.

Founder of excel collaboration and versioning startup [1] here so I am a believer.

There are only about 30 million programmers. There are over 1 billion Excel users. Excel is Turing complete. Excel is by far the most used programming language on the planet. It is easily 20 times more popular than the next contender.

The value of Excel is that it is presenting the data, with a set of formulae that let you keep derived data up-to-date. This inferred data provides sums and computations, sometimes simple, but sometimes exquisitely complex. And through this whole range of complexity, with a billion users, virtually nobody treats Excel seriously like a programming language.

We have a programming language which is essentially acting as a declarative database, and yet we don't do unit tests, we don't keep track of changes, we collaborate with Excel by sending it to our colleagues in the mail and god-forbid we should doing any serious linting of what is in the thing.

Anyone who has used Excel in anger realizes why it is so brilliant. Show me another declarative constraint based, data driven inference language that I can teach to my grandmother.

The problem isn't Excel. The problem is that we are treating Excel like its a word processor, and not what it is: a programming language.
