Honestly this feels a bit odd to read - I think the point is clear that communities benefit from having long-term residents, regardless of who they are.

If my neighbor makes too much noise, I can go talk to them and we will have an understanding. If an airbnb makes too much noise, I can tell the current residents to quiet down but there will be new ones in a few days. The residents don't stand to face any meaningful consequences for being a disturbance to the neighbors, and the owner of the house likely doesn't live in the community either so if I talk to them, there's no incentive for them to try and reduce the disturbances. Airbnbs around my house are known for this being a big problem. This is the reason that zoning laws put hotels in commercial space instead of residential.

I am not trying to "engineer who lives in my community", I am trying to engineer a community.

My sentence was "I'm not just talking about things like nuclear war". Point being that, yes, the unique dangers of nuclear war seem so blatantly obvious that they're not likely to be ignored. Contrast that with one of the other "elephants in the room" that has the potential to be nearly as dangerous, but as these other risks don't involve, on the surface, metro-area obliterating fireballs, they are easier to downplay.

The issue is the gains in efficiency from the introduction of the Georgian tax system get traded off against the loss in efficiency from more than doubling the national debt. I don't have enough economic skill to model all of this to know whether we end up ahead or behind but my intuition is the effect sizes may be similar in a number of key dimensions.

I agree you can modify how the tax credits work to potentially transfer the mortgage loss credits from the homeowner to the mortgage holder when the homeowner walks away. If you do this effectively you can reduce the cost by nearly $10 trillion but still have around $25 trillion in residential costs.
Full collapse ahead, let's go go go!
Yes we could do that. Build the model similar to mutual insurance agencies that refund excess premiums if they have a good year.

Also our “system” is overburdened now, so the savings there would probably not be refunded.
> What percentage of land use for dairy cows is arable?

Pretty much all of it. It's either being used directly for grass, or indirectly to grow grains which are fed to the cows.

> What percentage of greenhouse gas emissions are added to the environment over already existing in the environment and just being moved?

I think the number itself is the amount over what already existed.
> Have you done a blind test comparing a 256 or 320 kbps AAC file to a FLAC one?

That's irrelevant, FLAC is an archival format. If you rip a CD, it makes perfect sense to rip it to flac in order to have no data loss whatsoever, and be able to fork it off to whatever lossy format is de rigueur for your new device. If you rip to a lossy format, then each copies will accumulate approximations from the different codec's perceptual models, especially if you keep deleting the previous copy and only keep the new one.

I don't put FLAC files on my phone, it takes way too much space, and the phone doesn't support it anyway. The phone gets AAC conversions of the "master" FLAC files.
Would be interesting to see how many people enjoy their meat and animal products if taken to a facility where said animals are kept, fed, killed etc. Wouldn't be surprised if cruelty to animals is the current generation's cigarette excessive smoking / genocide / rape and pillaging in wars etc. i.e. how could humans ever do this.
It would be an accelerant for sure, but maybe there would be a self-selecting correction: people with no self-control over food intake would just die out over the centuries (assuming there are genetic and cultural factors involved in food intake south control).
I really like milk. Why is it anywhere near the front of the list of things we have to be better at, to save the planet?

Sorry for the grump take. It feels very silly to be “what about” ish about this. Couldn’t we just tax plane fuel a bit more first or something?

My city is the apparently the "Bachelorette Party Capital" of the world. So, of course, AirBnB would not pass up such a golden opportunity.

According to a recent bit of data from AirBnB, approx. 65% of hosts on AirBnB own two or more short-term rentals [1]. Such ownership has strongly impacted our housing market, albeit it is not the only factor, but still a major contributor to the erosion of our housing market.

Many of the anecdotal complaints I have heard are things like:

1. Obnoxiously loud and large parties/gatherings at inconsiderate times of day.

2. Unfamiliar cars and strangers in your community e.g. if the house next to yours is listed on AirBnB who knows what type of people are staying next to you -- they could be upstanding citizens or violent/non-violent thieves scouting out your neighborhood. People renting the unit are not always the only ones to stay there, and who are the police going to question when they have no idea who was there or when they up and left to return back home?

3. Vandalism and/or littering of surrounding properties.

4. Lack of community like the OP posted above.

It also appears as of recently, that AirBnB's are being targeted for crime [2]. If one chooses to burglarize an AirBnB in my city, you have a pretty high chance of preying upon an n > 1 group of unsuspecting, young, unarmed women in an unfamiliar city who are more than likely not in the rental most of the time i.e. the perfect target for thieves.

There are allegations that thieves are working with Uber/Lyft drivers to find out which addresses are AirBnBs or not and which ones the renters are currently away from. Such actions are absolutely horrible, but honestly rather clever. Think of it this way -- it's easy as being a driver for Uber/Lyft, picking the group of renters up, text your buddy the address, and boom -- a thief's dream come true. Neighbors won't call the cops because so many people are in/out of the rentals, they can't keep track of what is normal or suspicious activity.

That seems more like she improved her insulation, decreasing her heating needs rather than addressing the temperature cutoff for a heat pump.

I still like the heat pump because in the summer my power bill for cooling a 2600 sq ft home is about $50/month, and in the winter I do have a wood burning stove that I can run to heat the house when the temps are below 36. That and recirc mode on the fan unit can keep my power bills to a minimum.
> Some types have no suitable "empty" value. It is dangerous to assume you can always find such a value.

Indeed. In Rust you have Option::unwrap_or_default() for this, which is only available if the underlying type implements the Default trait. It's unfortunately more verbose than `?` but it gives the behavior the GP wants, without making unsafe assumptions like 0 always being a safe default for any integer result.

Empires can suffer military defeats, economic collapses, even civil wars (they were pretty much a national sport for the Romans) but what kills them off for good are crises of legitimacy. When people no longer believe in the unifying ethos of the empire, it's game over.

For example, when people stopped believing in Communism and the institutions of the Party, the USSR was done. All the nuclear weapons and KGB goons couldn't keep it together. When Roman citizens figured out that the legions would no longer protect them and they were better off paying tithes to a local feudal lord rather than taxes to Rome, the Roman Empire was done. And in the US, if nobody believes in the democratic system of government and the only way to keep their party in power is through insurrection or voter suppression, then the US as we know it will be over as well.

Aside from CDs themselves, has anyone noticed a severe lack of CD players these days?

I might be off-base, but as far as I can tell, basically no laptop computer and rather few desktops come with any type of optical media drives these days. Haven't shopped for a car in a while, but I don't think I've seen one with a CD player either. Most music seems to be consumed on phones and tablets, where it's basically impossible to have a CD drive. I would expect you can still buy standalone home theater-style CD players, but I bet the sales of them are pretty low these days.

The only reason I have a optical media reader at all is that I homebuild my PC. I bought an optical drive for I think like $20 or something like a decade ago on my first build, and just kept the drive and case through multiple upgrades. If I did a new build from scratch tomorrow, I'm not sure I'd bother. My current drive, the door doesn't open half the time, and I haven't bothered to try and fix or replace it, since I basically never use it.

This was in Alabama. The local government is generally interested in hookers or embezzling funds.
I think that's actually less contradictory than it sounds. In one case you're doomed in the way where too big a population uses too many resources leading to a crash. In the other case what you're actually doomed by is a historical population boom that requires a large younger population under it to sustain it, and in the absence of new young people, maybe that older generation cannot be sustained, potentially leading to catastrophe.

In fact I'm pretty sure there's a potential middle ground with large enough historical population boom where both of these issues could hypothetically be realised simultaneously...

But, you know I think we should really focus on just making agriculture and energy production more efficient/cleaner, reducing waste and making care work a decent living or something.
I don't think the ocaml tooling is great but I don't find it too much of an outlier compared to other languages I work with. I haven't used rust but I do believe it's better there. Ocaml has been improving steadily over the last few years though, and none of those things has been a major barrier to anything I needed to do recently.

This isn't really giving enough context. It's absolutely true that per volume, plant products are going to beat dairy handily in resource usage. But, they aren't remotely 1:1 products. Basically, almond milk is a good "per volume" replacement for low-fat milk products for applications like pouring on cereal or mixing in coffee. And... not much else.

The bulk of dairy production isn't for "milk" at all, it goes into derived products (mostly cheeses). And while there are a few plant based alternatives in that space, they aren't "oat milk" or whatever.

Per this link, "fluid milk" is only 24% of dairy usage: https://www.progressivedairy.com/news/industry-news/how-is-t...

Basically, this article is doing the "paper straws" thing and addressing the wrong part of the problem. If you want to talk about dairy cow impact you need to get people off of ice cream and yogurt, not milk.
>> Some friction was removed; some friction was added. The 'ease' of finding a partner on apps creates an illusion of 'plenty fish in the sea', but 10s still go after 10s and, apparently, so do 6,7,8, and 9s creating a very interesting vacuum.

Is this not what happens in the real world too? The bit I'm stuck on is how it's gotten harder in 2022. At worst, it's the same as the past as far as I can see.

NIMBYism making it difficult to build enough housing for everyone and inflating housing costs, for example.
My guess on the economics of this are:

1)Take money from SF VCs for tax deductions and social cred.

2) Hand it out to create the appearance of growth and hopefully get the coin to have some value as you mention above

3) Quickly harvest the data of everyone involved

4) Sell that data while the original thing implodes

5) Dump any remaining coins, hopefully at a decent gain, to finish the scheme.

Even if you had presented, there was a big chance that SQL Windows would have been chosen anyway. The risk calculation senior leadership would have considered delivering anything sooner with iterative improvement versus a long ramp up but with more efficiency. While the first may end up being more expensive, it's less risky and more likely to pay off. The longer and more complicated ramp up a project has higher risk, the more likely it will fail before it even delivers.

Leadership is FAR more likely to lean on a sure thing than higher risk/reward. To bypass that you need a proven strong leader and team who delivers big complicated projects and a VERY strong presentation to show the problem was thought out.

Even then, competing priorities and other factors may come into the decision making process.

And I am not saying I agree with the decision making much of the time, but this is what I have experienced.

To be very honest, the only time I managed to get a project like this approved is when I proved with 100% certainty that all the alternatives would fail, why, and how. Even then it took me 1.5 years and significant buy-in from principle engineers to convince senior leadership the it was the only path forward.

There is a cap but I think a large part of that is to prevent people from complaining about the size of pensions paid out by the government. What you get back from the program is a function of what you put in and if you allowed people to put in the portion from $1 Million of income you might owe them $200K pensions after 40 years. I don't think the public has appetite for that.
Yes, like does android, servers, routers, smart tv's... many of these devices are running linux inside. And it does benefit from time to time like gaining mind share, fixing some bugs in the kernel or system tools, implementing drivers... but for any ground being gained on the desktop the benefits have been very small and slow.

I added the clause: "With no student loan debt to worry about!" above. That's an important aspect, I think. They could afford to get degrees in subjects that may not have paid all that well (teaching, for example) where as now people have to consider how they're going to pay back that debt and choose degrees in fields that will enable them to do so.

I'm curious the long-term side effects on the body. I'm not sure it's better, we're something like 10,000 years into developing the ability to drink milk. I'm not sure we know what the effects of high soy intake is (only 10-15 years into mass consumer adoption -- we do see massive drops in sex hormones; possibly related, it is correlated).

Also, I really dislike how these studies are conducted. They often don't account for the fact _something_ will be produced on land and _something_ will be consuming it. There used to be millions of American Buffalo roaming the plains. I'm not sure relatively normal behavior is something to be concerned about.

The pollution IMO we should be concerned about are the chemicals in production of industry and food which are not natural. For instance, giant mono-crops of soy, which then go to factories where they are heavily processed, might be in-effect worse for the ecosystem as a whole. Another example is almond production. It takes far too much water to produce almonds and to make milk is insane.

I personally wouldn't be surprised if the soy, oat, almond industry are pushing these studies.
When it comes to Oatly... It tastes good, but that's because it contains plenty of sugars. You'll notice the difference when you make your own oat milk from oats. It's tastes quite terrible actually.
