there's no need to be anti-car (it's fruitless anyway) to be in favor of a more diverse mix of transport. we'd have plenty of space for mixed mobility if we just converted all on-street parking to protected bike lanes rather than implementing these edge lane roads, which seem to be a solution looking for a problem (lack of space, in this case).

the important bit is segregating traffic by inertia and mass. i'd personally love to see all the car/truck thoroughfares (roads) put underground, with people getting explicit priority on the above-ground, mixed-use streets.

> This roadway configuration originated in the Netherlands where they have over 50 years and many hundreds of road-kilometers of experience with this facility.

Well yeah, but we use this specific configuration with the shared centre lane only on the lowest tier of rural roads where traffic is limited and the speed limit is 60 km/h (roughly 40 mph), and some select urban streets where they act as a traffic calming measure¹. Most arterial and collector roads have segregated cycleways, both within and without city limits. That is the basis of our road system. Cyclists and motorists mostly share only local roads/streets (30 km/h (20 mph) speed limit within city limits, 60 km/h without). The exceptions are roads where limited space means cyclists have dedicated cycle lanes which motorists may not use for overtaking, but in those cases motorized traffic won't share lanes with oncoming traffic either.

This specific set up is not uncommon, but certainly not meant as a solution for high traffic roads. It is one small trick to use in a system that mostly keeps cyclists and pedestrians on dedicated ways segregated by greenery or kerbs parallel to arterial or collector roads. Taking it out of that context seems risky.

(The trick with the single shared lane and wide 'gutters' meant for passing oncoming traffic are common in the 60 km/h local road variety in the Netherlands, but mostly they lack a cycle lane, and cyclists share the single lane between the dashed lanes².)

Problem for not only Netflix, but any other mammoth media company that wants to appeal to >50% of the population: you can't exclude half the political spectrum (either half).

In the last part of the 20th century, the utterly drab and lackluster Three-Letter Networks were drab and lackluster in part because they were trying to avoid offending as large a portion of the population as possible. But, with way more than 3 networks competing now, you can't be drab and get anyone's attention. Which means either you have content that's offensive to lots of people, and hope that it is offset by other content that appeals to those people, or you shrink down to a niche provider that appeals only to a much smaller portion of the population.

The third factor is that many companies cannot get financing or keep up their share prices unless they can pretend they will be as big as Facebook, so just existing in your little niche may not work well either. Unstoppable force meets immovable objects...

To my Western mind, it seems similarly crazy.

One thing I took away from a recent Econtalk episode[0] was that the minds of the Russians are not our minds. I didn't grow up in a post/soviet state. I didn't have to deal with that kleptocracy. I am not the commander of thousands of nuclear warheads. My mind is not their mind.

One good and easy vector that I have is the twitter account of the 'Tires Guy' that was popular briefly in the early part of the war [1]. Trent's continuing insights to the conflict, mostly from a logistics perspective, have been good for me to understand the war and the motivations behind the decisions. He brings in a lot of conflicting voices, history, and other media too. He is open about the fact that he can only see white propaganda and tries to balance that out when the data comes in.

Trent's insights on the Syrian conflict, unfortunately, seem to indicate that the Russians are likely to 'lose' the war, but just go on fighting it anyway (again, their mind is not my mind).

I'd give the guy a follow if you'd like to stay up to date on the conflict. It may take a week or more to grok though, so be prepared to be patient.

>> What you do with your labour is a strong right that is deeply connected to bodily autonomy

Taxing people at different rates based on the decisions they make is not taking away bodily autonomy. Taxing someone at a higher rate if they choose not to have children does not force them to have children. The teacher isn't forced to become a software developer. There are just tax implications for the decisions one makes, as there are already now.

And I don't agree that property rights are weak rights. Property rights are at the very core of a free society.

Yes, yes. Flash (with AS3) was a first-class web application platform. There were buttons and views and "movie clips" and other stuff for you to place on a blank canvas, all very customizable. Then there was Flex, a full-fledged yet relatively lightweight application framework built on that foundation. You created your layouts with XML, with live preview. There were Android-like layout containers (emulating Android's LinearLayout with HTML+CSS is still not quite trivial in 2022 — the defaults on flexbox are bonkers) and there were ListView/(UI|NS)CollectionView-style lists with reusable cells, among other things. This was 15 years ago! I can't even begin to imagine how many workarounds one would need to implement a list with reusable cells with HTML+JS even if targeting only the latest Chrome and Firefox.

* the naive marks of scammers - who the scammers (and everyone else) are extracting from

* true believers - who find value in the concepts. They're willing to overlook the s*-show and actually believe in a libertarian pipe-dream of a better future with crypto as money.

* amoral speculators - who could not care less wtf crypto means but just want to dip-and-pull. They're "in it" ONLY insofar as they can convert the funny-money into real-money.
While those are interesting links, I do not comprehend the morals and principle behind such a "call" of "support" by "us". And, if there is such a general principle you belief (and can explain/outline to me here), why not applying this general principle to all situations around the world. Especially, I would be interested, for instance, how you would grapple and apply such views in the case of (without changing the goal posts) Palestine-Israeli conflict? [and at least half-a-dozen other current world conflicts]
Sure, much of the value locked in shares is land or land-like assets but a much higher proportion of the value of the average middle class person's property is land. So as taxes go it's incredibly favourable to most one percenters, and ordinary homeowners are amongst those whose taxes must make up the difference. (And Single Taxers have to raise 1/3 of GDP from someone so its not like the possibility of the middle classes actually paying less tax providing they kiss goodbye to their homes and move into a high rise or rural Nevada is a solution and not a different category of problem)

Efficiency arguments that the average middle class homeowner would still be better off materially even with a much higher personal tax bill because the Zuckerbergs and Dorseys of this world would retain more untaxed profits and dividends to use their superior resource allocation skills to invest in land-free Bigger Adtech might appeal to the armchair neoclassical economist but for obvious reasons the public are more sceptical.

>So unless you are the type of hypothetical libertarian who thinks all government is bad while enjoying a standard of living that is only possible in a regulated economy, supporting cryptocurrency as a way of opposing bad laws is nonsensical.

This is where you go off the rails. Consider if I had structured an argument, "Unless you are the kind of commie who..."

I realize that pro-market sentiment is something of a thought crime here on this forum for entrepreneurs, but this is a bit much. As to living in a highly regulated country, don't you think that is a bit presumptuous?

In regards to pro-market sentiments and private property, many have said, "If you don't like it, move to Somalia" I don't know if it is within your powers of imagination, but there are several better options. No, I don't need to show ID (suspicious looking? Imagine that!) to walk up the street. I never needed to show a vaccine card to buy a coffee either. Yes, I am truly suffering by not living in a highly regulated country.

>while providing little additional benefit

Who are you to say? Again, you might not value some of these things. They might not impact your life. Others may. Generalizing it into criminality is just sloppy to the point of the absurd. Although, perhaps that is a privilege for those lacking imagination.

Meanwhile, the long standing normalized usual suspects (e.g., the Military Industrial Complex, Wall Street, poverty, etc.) get a free pass? And the proud woke believe Netflix is an evil worth expending energy on? Talk about doing the usual suspects a favor.

If anyone wants to exercise their consumer-ness and cancel their Netflix subscription, they should. But cancel culturing Netflix while real issues continue to run free and unchallenged undermines "woke" in the eyes of anyone reasonable.

Note: This isn't a knock on the idea of woke, or even cancel culture. It's about priorities.

Right. This memo is directed at offended Netflix employees, not offended [ex]Netflix customers. Conservatives on facebook complaining about Netflix being too woke and weird (Cuties, etc) isn't what this memo is about.

IMHO The people that come out ahead here (for good or bad) are large locked debt holders. EG. You have a 700k mortgage that you locked in 2020 at 3%. Each month inflation eats away the loan - and the bank can do nothing accept eat it. Property has already inflated 10-15% in a year. I don't see interest rates that low for a decade -- that group of people lucked out. I don't see a huge home construction boom due to supply constraints - so those investments are pretty secure.

The people that get screwed are cash users/holders and maxed 401k holders. EG People about to hit retirement paying rent. Young people working two jobs to trying to pay bills. There will be nothing but rent hikes for years - shrinking ETFs, with tight restrictions to become debt holders. As usual the poor guy gets shafted. :(

I write a lot of Go. Adding enums nor debugging them has never been a big problem for me.

The way that I tackle the problem is to use iota, and then to emit the numeric value into logs.

Later, if I have some time to get fancy, I’ll implement fmt.Stringer using a switch statement.

Sometimes, I’ll implement a ParseFoo function to convert the string representation into the typed representation.

All of this work takes about 5 minutes, and no thought. That’s what we’re talking about here: ~5 minutes of effort per enum.

IMO, you should be spending far more time thinking about which values to add to the enum than the mechanics of string support.
Rust is an abstract mess that needs a PhD (or type theory or guess-and-check) to use productively; it's more to do with overuse of generics and wildcard trait impl and trait resolution and higher-order functions and lifetime HKTs and reverse type inference, than sum types. Rust enums require less generics to use productively than C++ std::variant (which requires std::get_if or std::visit), because enums have language-level `match` and `if let` syntax as a fundamental binding block which can take the place of combinator method chaining (but the community instead sees it as an opportunity to invent and add even more methods).
Cool to see Java getting these features. After having been a Java dev most of my life, and then moving to Typescript years ago, it's hard to believe I went so long without this.

Related, Typescript is the only language I know of that through flow analysis does not require you to redefine the variable. E.g. you can do something like

if (typeof foo === 'string') {
//Typescript knows foo is a string here
}

All the other languages I know of, like this proposal for Java, require the variable to be redefined. I personally find the Typescript way, as VSCode will give you appropriate type warnings in the right places, easier to use in practice. Just curious if there are any other languages that do it like TS.
