Both sides are behaving like children and it’s hard to believe they represent prestigious schools. I don’t believe she targeted him because he happens to be black. She likely would have threatened the police irrespective of colour.
I guess you just have to make multiple trips if you need to buy a significant amount of groceries? My grocery trips always involve more than I could carry by bike.
I don’t think GP neglected that. They gave the example of bikes vs. horses in the 19th century. People preferred horses because they wanted to go far with little effort.

There was recently a thread on HN about why Europe had become so wealthy. Many opined that exploitation of other led to Europe’s wealth, but others observed that such exploitation was only possible because Europe was already wealthy. The same applies here. Yes, the government had many car-promoting policies, but those policies were tolerated because cars were already desired and that desire made the car lobby popular, not the other way around.

> People seem to be talking about this much more now because of the prominent placement of the r/fuckcars subreddit's parking lot on the r/place canvas.

I don't think r/place has caused this. There has been a massive increase in an anti-car sentiment in the last few years.

Maybe the cause is people staying home more often now, so they care about whether their neighbourhoods are nice?
Take that further: volunteer to hack on existing projects as well. For instance, I have a few Java projects that would be fine for some entry-level hacking.
Not all natural is all the benefit.

It is not even go far with little effort. It is go far or close without having to mind weather unless it is really windy when trees fall on the roads.

When it is -15 degrees celcious or is pouring rain you don't care, have fun riding bicycle in such rain.

So not caring about weather/elements is not natural.

Most of the time I have to carry ~20kg of stuff with me, laptop, coat, umbrella, some food, some water. Getting groceries on my way back home.

Carrying ~20kg or even ~30kg of stuff around all the time is totally unnatural. Well going 50km away from your home on a daily basis is not natural at all. But a lot of people to make ends meet need to go even 100km away on daily basis.

Yes, going to your local shopping center with a car where you can walk in 10 mins and carry 5-10kg of goods is supper shitty and for 5-10 kg one could cycle with it. Going "all car culture" is bad is not the way to go, because for many people alternative is to "sit in one place and die" as they don't have shopping center available in walking distance.

I’m reading this while vacationing in Barcelona. We’re staying in the city’s Gothic Quarter, which has this labyrinth of narrow medieval streets. This evening we realized that the whole week of our visit we never got into a car, not even a cab.

I can see the reason why people walking around spend more than people in cars. Today while returning from a tourist site a little early, we remembered there was an ice cream store we wanted to try, which turned out to be close to our subway station. On the last part of our walk back, we randomly noticed a unique indoor mall and walked around it just to pass the time (Malda Galeria? Turned out it has lots of board games, anime merch, and other “nerd” stuff!). I had made a purchase the day before on a similarly casual browse, so I resisted!

Comparing this to a trip to Houston a month ago: we were on highways the whole time. Even if we did see something interesting (unlikely while flying through Houston’s confusing highways), there’s no way we’d stop navigation on Google maps, find an off ramp, make a left turn through busy traffic, then search for a parking spot… just to casually browse for stuff. How are you supposed to catch the notice of passerbys if you’re a little shop keep? The fun stuff we did required planning, paying for parking, traffic, etc.

Another YouTube channel that might convince you cars are horrible for cities: CityNerd is some sort of urban planning professional and has great videos about induced demand and a particularly good one about how expensive paying for a car is when you consider the full accounting (it’s something like $10k a year).

Bothering my local politicians about bike infrastructure has been on my to do list for months. I need to get to it!
Detroit has the concept of twenty minute neighborhoods and they've created several. The idea is the basics of what you need are all within a twenty minute walk. The idea is unless you're doing something out of the ordinary you won't need to use your car. Or even own a car.

They have executed pretty well with one glaring exception. Nearly everyone needs a weekly supermarket visit. Until fairly recently the city had no supermarkets for a population of 650,000 people. Recently a Whole Foods opened downtown as well as a couple of supermarkets on eight mile on the edge of the city.

Those eight mile supermarkets were created to cash in on a multi-million dollar incentive offered by the state. However it was poorly worded, so while they're technically in the city the suburbs are right across the street.

Many affluent highly educated people live in downtown Detroit and are forced to own a car so they can travel to the edge of the city to buy groceries.

Actually, yes.

Punishment doesn't fix the need to shoplift.

Maybe if we stop trying to solve everything with cops we'd actually make some social progress?

True, but we have been a literate society throughout that timespan, and the institution that was responsible for maintaining the knowledge of such myths, the Church, was often the only source of literacy around.

A lot of the ancient secular stuff was forgotten and had to be reconstructed later from written sources.

I don’t even know that we do have “underdeveloped social skills” if I’m being truthful. But if we do I think “how we live” is probably a good starting point since so many people are just cooped up all day.
> invest maybe 90 minutes to simply get to the closest grocery store and then be able to take home maybe 1/10th of what they normally load into their trunk. This false alternative is always brought up

I'm not 100% sure I understand what you mean here, but my nearest grocery store in London is 3 doors away. My second nearest in 3 mins walk away. My 3rd nearest, 3 mins 30 secs away. My nearest big supermarket is 10 mins walk away. That's the alternative here.
Daily 30-minute meetings sounds to me like the antithesis of good management. If you feel like you need 30 minutes of synchronous time per day from your team of engineers, you are not a good manager.
When you have more than a couple people in a house, this would mean shopping continuously. And the quantities you'd need for a single day would be more than you could carry effectively without a trunk. (I moved to where I am from a dense city with transit too, it makes more sense for me to be in a smaller city where my kids have a yard to play in and space to plant a garden than to live in a dense urban environment)
And I’m sitting here in my European suburb and considering if we could get rid of our single car. When I still had to go to the office I always bicycled or took the bus. There’s a grocery store and pharmacy within 5 minutes walk, but we order most groceries online anyway. The kids daycare is 200 meters away, and when they begin school it will be a 10 minutes walk. The car is useful when we go on holidays the whole family or when I need to buy some lumber.

From where I live now it’s hard to fathom why any family would need two, or even three cars. Those suburbs that made that a necessity must be considering utter failures.
It's the same with MacOS. It runs best on carefully selected hardware (i.e., you will have difficulty running MacOS on a Dell)

> In complex, non-linear dynamic systems, the critical resources of the system tend to concentrate and consolidate over time, due to positive feedback, winner-take-all, and similar effects inherent in these systems. Decentralized systems are subject to these dynamics too,

I've come across various essays and posts that make this point tangentially, but not much that investigates it directly. If you are aware of any, links would be appreciated.

> It’s like there’s a natural asymptote to the concentration of resources, that forces a (painful) reset once they become too concentrated.

Likewise, if you know of work to determine how concentrated is too concentrated, that would be interesting.
What "monetizing content via a crypto browser" really means is "voluntarily submitting yourself to this 'decentralized' control structure we have set up." Which, in the case of Bitcoin, is "controlled" by 5 mining pools at any given time, who are all, one way or another, going to have to submit to government control at some point in the future. Meanwhile the whole thing about "decentralized identifiers" is people using the system will be connecting to central data centers.

As far as 'micropayments,' that is begging for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. I'll give you an example. Netflix users watch about 100 hours of their service a month, for $15.59. So 15 cents an hour. There is no scenario in which Netflix benefits from creating a virtual currency in their system pegged at 15 cents an hour (think Flix-Bux), people are already pushing back hard on these internal 'currencies.' The irony is not lost on me the amount of energy used by smart dudes to create a browser that is proposing virtual currency which has been utilize to nickle and dime gamers from adolescence to adulthood (robux, vbucks, the plethroa of 'money sellers' on many platforms).

Nothing about this is about freedom, this is all about changing one central control structure for another, with little crumbs of implication that it's better for users and sellers alike.
The UAE are in a uniquely blessed situation where they have a small population, not a lot of land, and a ton of valuable resources. Not every country could pull this off without significantly reworking how it's tax/budget/administration work.

That being said, there's subsidised, including to 100%, housing in France too. And cities are legally required to build affordable housing for those schemes, so it's not "it exists on paper, but nothing has been built in decades so nobody can get in".
Of course they are. I love farmers. I wish I could buy their fresh produce directly similar to how it occurs in small European towns and city markets. I want local farmers feeding me and my family. But… those farmers apparently prefer that I live in a suburb and go to the grocery store and buy produce from somewhere else instead so they can have a highway and easy parking to the city center they don’t go to.
> When you think about having the taskbar on the right or the left, all of a sudden the reflow and the work that all of the apps have to do to be able to understand the environment is just huge.

"the work that all of the apps have to do to be able to understand the environment" should be none? Unless "apps" refers to something other than standard Windows applications, there shouldn't be any difference since Windows 10.

The government is one of the mechanisms we created to negotiate things.
A perfect response. :)
Isn't it the authoratarian government that's enforcing these laws? Why are you blaming the poor unions, they're only doing what they legally have to do to maximise the returns for their shareholders.
This is pretty obvious at least for some cases. Of course it depends a lot on the structure of the street / city. I haven't been much in the US, but I can imagine it's not affected by some issues as much as other places. It comes down to space, and how you use it. I spent a couple months living in a busy street of a European city. The amount of parking space took easily 2-3x that of the sidewalk which was only maybe 2 meters wide. It was a busy street for pedestrians also and it was pure hell even walking there, but especially just stopping to see a shop window. You would automatically become an obstacle for all the other pedestrians, so almost nobody would ever do it. You can imagine that this is terrible for business - cutting down on the parking space would give space to pedestrians and they would have an easier time checking out shops and spending money there.
Generally I just shop more often, my nearest grocery store is 3 doors down. There are two bigger ones 3 mins walk away, and a big one 10 mins walk away. When you're talking distances like that, buying more than you could carry doesn't make much sense. And if I did, I'd use Ocado or something.
It is not a economic war where you can easily sacrifice.

I assume India politicians heard what Russia targets in Ukraine (and it is not military). Bucha is just one example.

> Nelson and Boaler’s very public beef is rooted in a controversial debate over how to teach math to California’s K-12 students.

> Boaler is behind the ongoing effort to change the math curriculum framework in California that includes, in part, increasing equity, pushing algebra 1 back to 9th grade and applying social justice principles to lessons.

Every time I hear anything about math education in the US, I leave convinced that "professors of education" should have nothing to do with it. And this opinion doesn't have anything to do with contemporary politics, since as far as I can tell, they've had a malign influence for at least a century (e.g. math education in the US was dumbed down by the "education experts" in first half of the 20th century, until the requirements of the space race and cold war forced a turnaround in the 60s).
True, but that's only busses. Rail lines were (are?) commonly 5-15 minutes off schedule depending on the time of day.

For people to use the system, they have to trust the system. Depending on the city, rail infrastructure can get you close enough to walk to many places. The stuff that crushes trust even then is the rail lines being off schedule and strikes. Safety can be a major concern too, like the woman who was raped on a SEPTA train recently (WTF). These should be simple asks. Maybe we just need to charge/tax more so they have more money (or maybe we need better people making the decisions with that money).
> Your post is bordering on propaganda.

Please don't. That's not how a civilized debate works.

> First of all: the problem at the core is that Berlin is pretty much built out

Sorry, when comparing to other cities world-wide, that's hard to buy. Places like San Francisco, ok, maybe. Ocean in 3 of 4 directions. Vancouver, ok, maybe. Mountains on 2 sides, ocean on one side, border to US on one side. But Berlin? It's all flat, fields and tree plantations ("forest") all around. Even just adding a floor or two here and there would be fine. There are many areas that could get quite some more density with 5-6 floor houses. But then NIMBY hits. Easier to be angry at the "rich landlords".

> Second: that law was enacted because people were fed up with rents going up all the time

I'm trying to tell you that that's not solving the problem. High rents are just a symptom. The root cause is a mismatch of supply and demand. It's as if you are trying to legislate away gravity. That won't work in the long run. Either you need to increase supply or decrease demand. I can see that you argue that rural areas should be strengthened, but I fail to see how that would suffice. People want to live in Berlin.

> Third: People were especially pissed off about the large landlords (Vonovia etc.) which bought their stock at fire-sale prices

The people should be pissed off at the politicians that sold them the stock. It was rational to buy it. Selling out was not. And that wasn't just CDU. Even the SPD+Linke senate did similar things later on. Yet, everybody gets reelected all the time. (Not defending CDU here, they are just as guilty.)
I'm not advocating for anything, I am wondering if there were design compromises necessary in a pure boolean fashion (which will then lead to wondering if both audiences can be served adequately with one single design)
You get direction by combining GPS with a compass.
In principle I kind of see what you’re saying but I mean if the cops chose to talk to him I’m sure they’d have the context of “this is a Stanford professor calling the cops on a Berkeley professor about a tweet.” And like you said it is more about power and at least from my perspective elite university professor falls under that. I could definitely be overestimating that though. My point is given the situation the chances of something like that happening is probably quite a bit lower than with any interaction with the police regardless of race.
Consdering the state of learning materials for the remainder of my educational (and professional, I'm looking at you compliance courses) life, it really is mindblowing what they achieved with Encarta in the '90s.
If you have the right hardware, most Linux distros "just work" out of the box. I've deliberately bought Dell XPS machines for work because of this.

But I've also been helping older neighbours and friends gain or maintain connectivity by installing Linux for them on other hardware, and my experience has been that the "just works" label applies in most cases.

Worst case there will be a single module that requires an additional hardware-specific package, most commonly the wireless card. The problem many moves to Linux encounter is that the device being migrating is the only device on hand apart from a phone, so when the newly migrated machine won't connect to the internet there's no way of easily identifying and downloading the driver or extension needed.

I have migrated laptops which have multiple pain points, and it can be problematic. But, so far, I've not encountered a device where Linux won't "just work" once these initial pain points have been mitigated with the appropriate driver or package.
I really love what Nicolas is doing. But it kinda feels like whole Haxe ecosystem driving force is this one guy.

He would not have. He was an unpopular buffoon, and a lot of the population viewed him as illegitimate due to the Supreme Court effectively appointing him over Gore. (In fairness, Gore did win the count once all of the counting was complete, so the population had a point here.) Before 9/11, there was a sitcom about how incompetent he was [1].

And no, there would not have been an Iraq war, because even if hypothetical President Gore hadn’t been able to ramp up security after the “bin laden determined to strike in the US”, he wouldn’t have immediately invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. The Bush administration pushed the lies that sold it to the world. And they knew it was bullshit. Gore definitely wouldn’t have done that bit.

Really? I think HN has even fewer safeguards against AI-generated content than Google. No offense to dang and co., and I'm sure there's more going on there than I'm aware of. But still, I'm pretty sure it would be trivial to set up an account and use GPT-3 to produce the content. The only reason I'd suspect this isn't happening is because there isn't a strong financial incentive to do so. In other words, HN avoids the spam because it's still too small to matter.
I love this. It makes editing so much easier because I can use VS Code as a schema-aware editor instead of having to deal with a word processor.

It also lets me use Git so I can keep track of changes. Plus, it allows me to personalize the visual style via CSS and HTML before I export it to PDF for submission.

A few commenters seem to think that JSON Resume is meant as a file format that one would submit to potential employers as-is. It’s not! It’s a source format, which scratches the itch of people like me who like semantic text-based formats.

If JSON Resume didn’t exist already, I’d have ended up building something similar myself.
Reflective LCDs are useless in the dark.
> You can also git your /etc of course.

You can and you should, in my opinion.

However, you really want to use "etckeeper" [0] to do that (as opposed to "maintaining" /etc as a git repo, manually, yourself).

ETA:

Seriously, look over etckeeper's README file [1] and/or man page [2]. Next, go read a couple articles or blog posts that describe "How-To store /etc in a git repository on debian linux" [3]. Then, if you're a sado-masochist, go ahead and actually try it that way for a while. Finally, install etckeeper, spend two minutes setting it up (if your packaging tool didn't do that for you automatically), and almost instantly regain your sanity!

Yeah we used to live that way. Most people didn't like it and bought a car when their personal economic circumstances allowed for it.

If people really wanted to live packed together like a hive of insects, we would not have suburbs and small towns. People live in high density situations because they have (or perceive that they have) no other choice.

It's fundamentally an infrastructure problem. Not just bikes has a good video on finnish biking https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhx-26GfCBU, and the difference is bike paths in the us/Canada usually get treated as a leisure, rather than an essential service.
