Problem is, housing is key to a rich life.

Whether you live in a car-dependent suburb, or in a city, real estate that lets you save time when living will always be more valuable.

In addition, low interest rates might be the reason people CAN buy houses with enormous valuations. Not just housing is overvalued, but companies' stocks also.

Sure, and with hundreds of those places, and at least 4 volunteers per place, just how many votes do you think you can stuff? Plus any statistically significant deviation will be spotted. But besides theory we never had more then the odd case affecting a handful of votes every handful of elections for almost 80 years, so history proofs that for all practical reasons it is 1) not happening 2) impossible to do at a scale that would impact results and 3) easy to spot.

This sadly happened in Germany, actually. We have a state sponsored weather forecast service, who also released a free Android (and possibly IOS) app. They were successfully sued by a for-profit commercial weather app (that even uses the publicly available data from the state sponsored service).

Now the state sponsored app is required by law to not be free. Last I checked it costs about two Euros.
Tracing is not in polaris. It's a separate library that runs in every cache host. Its main job is logging every cache state mutation for traced writes. So when polaris detects cache inconsistencies, we know what happened and why cache is inconsistent.

It starts all the way from client initiated write (where we mint a unique id, and plumb it all the way through).

> What kind of parameters do you have so you don't have too much logging or too little?

This is the key question! If you go to the second half of the post, it talks about an insight about how we managed to log only when and where cache inconsistencies _can_ be introduced. There's only a small window after mutation/write where cache can become inconsistent due to invalidation. So it's very cheap to trace and provide the information we need.
PayPal has been generating 1099Ks for a while; in fact they froze me out of one of my business accounts 3 years ago without warning because they couldn't adequately file a 1099K on me. I offered to show them my accountant-prepared tax filings and any other info they needed so they could update their side accordingly but they told me they weren't going to un-freeze my account. I switched to Stripe, deleted my Venmo account, and haven't been abused by molested by PayPal since.
This is important, think about the whole Web. Too many ways of doing things and too much backwards compatibility needed for tools to develop further.

I always cringed at languages like Perl and also Groovy where the pride of the language designers seemed to be that there are so many ways to do the same thing.
That's a totally fair point, and I completely agree. I should have clarified this in my original post. If you're passionate about games, but nobody wants to work with you, then that passion won't permeate throughout the development team. All these gaming visionaries tend to have the gift of extreme charisma and strong passion for games - you need both IMO to make a great result. You may have a great idea, but you need to get people fired up about it too and articulate it in a way that can be understood.
We have to remember that fundamentally this all boils down to economics and rate of return on capital. There's (engineering wise) nothing stopping many communities from either adding more space underground, or above ground by building more levels. It's simply the demands of capital (and workers) that makes it unprofitable to do. We could have parking stalls and walkability and bicycles if capitalists didn't demand the rates of return on money, or workers didn't cost as much as they do, or land was more reasonably partitioned across the populace rather than grand fathered in from antiquity.
The knowability of god seems itself a false & deceitful pretense. Accepting any organizations interprettation of what facts tales & stories they have seems to many like folly.

We have to listen, quietly & somewhat individually & in small groups, for the heartbeat of god. The only earnest truth is that it's a interpretation.

Unsurprisingly, I really enjoyed Newell's similarly titled, "Listening for the Heartbeat of God" (1996), on early celtic christianity, https://books.google.com/books/about/Listening_for_the_Heart...
> How anyone could state this with any particular confidence is beyond me. The truth is, when someone votes by mail, you have no idea who filled in the ballot.

How do you know who filled in the ballot at the polling place? All I would need is to show up and know someone else's name and address and I could vote for them. Vote by mail isn't any worse than that and is possibly better because there's a stronger confidence that whoever filled it out actually lives at that address. As I recall from my own mail-in ballot, it is also signed by myself and a witness.

> Honestly, mail-in ballots are very difficult for me. They get mailed to you, and by the time I finally have a chance to sit down, I often have to go searching for where it went / whether my toddler put it somewhere. On the other hand, when I voted in person, I would just go to the polling booth in the morning and be done.

The poling place is open on exactly one day, and you have to wait in line for your turn. Have to go to work that day? Well, tough shit. For some people this is simple, but for quite a lot of people in overcrowded polling places and inflexible working conditions it is not. The option of a mail in ballot provides a convenience for people less privileged with the ability to make it to a polling place during a sub-24 hour window.

Notice I said option. If filling out a ballot is difficult for you, you can still do it by showing up in person.

> One year, I didn't even receive my ballot, and it was difficult to get a replacement.

Perfect is the enemy of good.
I still expect most people would bundle and minify the code shipped in production but removing the requirement to setup a transpiler for development would be a huge win for developer ergonomics.

For many smaller projects that bundling step may then simply be `deno bundle index.js` or similar.
I'm also near that area, but outside the city and an entire house and yard and car is less than your rent. Luckily I don't need to commute into town, and it's pretty apparent that many who can leave the city are moving to areas like Stillwater and Woodbury. Too bad those cities don't have useful transit connections, though we might get something into Hudson soon.

Yeah it's a workaround, but not really ergonomical for the library author (for example they can't modify the type being decorated).
All these arguments have nothing to do with the new legislation. Should there be laws to enforce “better” options? Then phones should have mil-spec round connectors. I insist I don’t understand what problem is the law supposed to solve.
What if you could perfectly replicate a loved one. Would you consider the replica equivalent to the original person? At least to me, there is something special and important in knowing that the original person was a part of my personal history. It’s not about how they look or act, but it’s our common context that’s important.

A friend had an Apple ][+ and an acoustically coupled modem in the early 80s. He had to dial the phone and put the receiver into the cups of the modem. One evening of calling a list of modem numbers for Bulletin Boards and companies (there was no specific law against hacking in 1980), I was hooked.

I saved $2,500 for an Apple //e, printer, and Zoom modem the next summer and it changed my life. Though I had an MA in clinical psychology and was an intern psychologist, through some some roundabout choices I ended up a few years later as one of the first Forensic Computer Examiners at a small federal law enforcement agency. It was the wild west in the late 1990s as I was working as a Special Agent and they offered the job to me as a sworn agent with no official credentials other than the ones I earned within the agency.

Wouldn't have changed a thing. I retired at 51 and am living as an expat.

I'm holding thumbs, I have been massively excited about your elevator pitch since your original announcement. Good luck!
agency comes from power. i think nihilistic despair in kids comes from sense that people who actually have power (and for kids it is primary parents) have failed to solve the problem.

for grown ups, of course it is more nuanced - we know that we lack power to solve the issue or else we would have done it. instead we put hopes and expectations on our kids - that they will rise to meaningful power, where they can change things.

That tipping point came last year for me and I moved to suburbia for exactly the reasons above. Zero regrets and I get to have space to have a real garden and fruit trees on my property. Couldn't ever get that in high-density housing environment.

Considering how many web developers get that particular tag wrong I'm not sure that's actually as unreasonable as it first appears. The number of forms out there on the web that are really just used as a way to group collections of input elements, with no consideration for an action, a method, browser native validation rules, fieldsets, a legend, etc makes me wonder if people actually know HTML at all. Every React, Vue, etc form I look at the source for gathers up input into state and then submits it with a fetch, replicating, but also often breaking, the accessibility and functionality built into the browser.

So yes, maybe being able to implement a form tag in HTML is the mark of a senior dev.
It won't happen, ever.

The actual model of cities is optimized for profit, so all parts involved in building cities can take as much as money they can.

Things will only change when the alternatives to the actual model exceed the actual model in terms of profit.

Or when new players disrupt the market and divert the money flow to other model.
I think it's a combination. School districts are funded exceedingly well in our country. School classrooms are funded poorly.

The money evaporates before it reaches them.
Around where I live, there's a lot of pressure to get rid of at least surface lots, because the land they're on is just too valuable. Not just the demand for new housing, but commercial development continues--there's a bunch of massive biotech complexes under construction nearby right now. With lots being sold at $30 million an acre, even the cost of burying parking underground is trivial in comparison.
Higher density areas zoned for mixed use are the only areas of modern american cities that are revenue positive for the city. Suburbs and other less dense developments are massively subsidized by denser developments.

Density also makes services like policing cover more ground for less money. Japanese & european cities are often much denser and face lower crime rates.
> So then why would it be OK to jail someone for not paying the fine levied on not paying their taxes, but its not OK to jail someone for deliberately not paying their taxes?

Putting people in prison when other remedies exist is not cost-effective. Unless you run inhumane, hell-hole prisons (not saying the UK ones are great, but there's worse). Eventually, yes, prison is the last option (again, in the UK).

So is putting an IPTV pirate in prison for 14 years a good solution? Just from a tax-payer perspective, that seems dumb to me. Similarly, is putting a tax evader in prison a good solution? Not initially, no.

Separately, we can also ask whether it's just for an IPTV pirate to get a higher prison sentence than e.g. most of the perpetrators in the Rochdale child sex abuse ring. For one of these crimes, the wronged party can be made "whole" with money. For the other, not so much. I believe this is what OP is driving at.
Find a space you enjoy. I enjoy getting able to walk to the grocery store, bookshop, several cafes, many restaurants, hair salon, library, tattoo parlor, beer shop, movie theater, etc.

How many of those places can you visit without a car?
> It just takes effort and deliberate will.

Another way to say this is a stubborn refusal to do things that do not "make sense" under the current model of economics (personal profit above all) because you revalue what is valuable in a society (eg social/corporate well being)

(corporate meaning groups of people, not LLCs)
Signatures are, frankly, a bad way to determine if a ballot is valid or not. People's signatures change all the time and there's not exactly a science in determining whether or not two are the same. It's ultimately up to the counter to make that determination.

Otherwise, I agree with your point. The reason ballot harvesting is much less of an issue than made out is because there's a vast paper trail with each mail in ballot cast.
If you don't start out with one person, one vote then I think you should not be calling yourself a democracy to begin with. Votes from different persons should be exactly equal in weight.
I thought this too, but now that I have an EV, I'm not so sure it's a real problem.

I have a 20 mile (each way), steep commute, which is more energy intensive than most people. (The average US commute is 16 miles.)

My car gets 4.5 miles / kWh, and I have a 16A, 110v charger plugged into a standard outdoor electrical socket at my house (the charger cost ~ $200 on Amazon, and standard US 110v circuits are 20 amp).

This is more than adequate for me. I use under 10 kWh per day on average, which means the car has to charge for about 6 hours a day. It's plugged in at night, and while at work, so I could do the commute twice a day, no problem. In Europe, it would be a 220v socket, halving the charge time for the same amperage.

So, as long as the multi-family homes have one 110V outdoor circuit per EV they need to charge, they're already fine for normal commute days, even if there's no charger at work. Running additional standard 110V circuit to the outside shouldn't be too expensive (though, obviously 220V would be preferable, assuming the electrical box for the house can handle it).

I wasn't addressing a question of whether election fraud happens or the motivation for it. I was specifically criticizing the idea that "changing the outcome of a Presidential election" is possible without a "sweeping, nationwide fraud campaign".

The EROI doesn't matter in that context because the goal is a singular binary event. It either was enough to sway the election and it qualifies for this discussion or it wasn't enough and therefore doesn't support OPs original point.
I live in the Midwest. If you drive past the suburbs, the only restaurants available are fast food burger, fried chicken and pizza chains, with a subway thrown in (I don't consider subway healthy). Obviously it's not profitable to own a healthy restaurant out there, but why? Is it a lack of healthy eating education? Is it a "harder" life and junk food is a reward? Or is it cost?

If it's cost, healthy home cooked food is as cheap or even cheaper than unhealthy fast food. But so many people I talk to think it's cheaper to get fast food. If you have a shred of common sense you can make really tasty and cheap healthy food at home.
Unfortunately this is already happening in the UK, for example: https://archive.ph/dM4D0

It's a catch-22. If you don't get cars out of the way public transit will fail. As was pointed out we've ripped up plenty of cities to make them more car friendly and we can absolutely do the same for people.

I don't think a major catastrophe is required at all. We're already at the point where a huge chunk of our infrastructure is already in dire need of repair and/or replacement. This is a perfect opportunity for improvement.
Fine, but the system that they're claiming to speak in service of directly contradicts that belief in its foundational charter.

The people commiting this type of fraud make similar mental leaps about the definitions of words like "treason" and "patriotism" to justify their actions. It's not a good road to follow.
You can buy a cheap house. The catch is: it's in a remote town in Ohio.

If I could have bought my 4 bed house with average garden on the outskirts of London for £50k, I wouldn't have bought it. I'd have bought an 6 bed house with a swimming pool, huge garden, double garage and driveway in central London instead, for the price I paid for my house. Not to get rich, just because I'd like more space, a pool, a big garden and a short walk to one of the world's best city's centre.

It's a physical impossibility to build everyone a large detached family home in the city centre, and most people don't want to live in apartments forever.

I believe the real solution is allowing small towns to grow into cities, and building a ton of very fast and effective rapid 24/7 transport so you can ferry people into the urban core of large cities from those cheaper smaller cities. We can scale out fast trains in a way that we can't scale out cycling, walking and cars.

In my mind, the ideal model for a livable megacity is an extremely large conurbation of individually small, walk/cyclable cities with low to mid-density housing, with the cities separated from each other by large public green spaces and all linked together with rapid public transport, and huge disincentives for cars.

Right, this is the kind of thing that tends to emerge in the absence of a formal state. You get a proto-state supported by the local culture and traditions.

France is a net exporter of electricity. In fact, it is the largest exporter of electricity in Europe. [1]

At the moment nuclear is the only source that guarantees vast amounts of electricity on demand. I think it's unrealistic to think that wind and solar (at least in Northern Europe) will be enough to meet demand of industrial nations, not least when all vehicles are EV.

By exiting nuclear Germany has both put itself in a corner and committed to continued high emissions (despite their claim that they are going 'green') because they have to keep relying on coal and gas. Ideological dogma is never good.

In 2020 in Pennsylvania the standard was that a signature existed not that it matched the voter rolls.

The incentive not to closely scritinize signatures when mail in ballots in your county strongly favor your perfered candidate is clear.

"If the Voter’s Declaration on the return envelope is signed and the county board is satisfied that the declaration is sufficient, the mail-in or absentee ballot should be approved for canvassing unless challenged in accordance with the Pennsylvania Election Code.

The Pennsylvania Election Code does not authorize the county board of elections to set aside returned absentee or mail-in ballots based solely on signature analysis by the county board of elections."
