The way it works in some places is that road tax is funded from taxes from general population plus road tax for cars, trucks and motorcycles plus, for highways, extra taxes for cars and trucks. The car use of pedestrians and bicycles has minimal to no impact on maintenance (I know sidewalks built more than 50 years ago that never needed any maintenance), while the part of the road where cars drive is impacted by the cars and a lot more by trucks, so the system above seems quite fair. Also highway taxes funded only by cars and trucks is very fair, pedestrians or cyclists are not allowed there.
Hire fast / fire fast has worked for some relatively lean teams that I've been on, but I can see it being hard to implement at mid-size and bigger companies where there's all kinds of red tape.

Unfortunately I am not going to bite on "everywhere is safer with more guns" argument because I also don't believe it :)

You can believe that people shouldn't want/need guns while also believing they should be able to exercise that right if they want to. I hold that belief. Guns aren't for everyone, but who am I to deny someone of their right to defend themselves, for example, from an abusive ex-partner.
If this is equitable then we should also publish the externalized cost of using ICE.
in creatures like us and in artificial devices fashioned after our nervous systems, yes, it seems necessary, agreed

the jury is still out on multiple realizability, though
Cars don't subsidize pedestrians or bikers, at all. The maintenance on roads from pedestrian traffic is essentially 0. bikes to almost no damage to roads compared to cars, much less tractor trailers. Doubles the weight of a vehicle increases maintenance costs by a factor of 4 per axle... bicycles and pedestrians are nothing. And without cars, we could go with much cheaper gravel, dirt, cobblestone, etc with no issues.
Chickens are fine (“pok pok pok”), it’s cockerels that you definitely don’t want near you.
My wife's practice has gotten insanely busy post-COVID. She doesn't deal with dogs and cat's so it's not that boom. Decreasing slots due to safety and health was an issue at first, but they've since returned to normal towards the last half of 2020. Staffing shortages, sure, but the slots are still the same as before.

The only thing she can think of is with more WFH, more people are noticing things wrong with their pets.
I’ll take the devil’s position: Your are not owed by nature a footprint on the ground, or a weekend camping.

Manille (Manila? Capital of Philippines) has 43079 inhabitants per square kilometer (23sqm per person, including agriculture), China tries to do the same.

The key is nature doesn’t owe you democracy, and governments neither. We can store many people vertically if we remove their personality. What I mean is poverty doesn’t make the system itself collapse, it can actually survive pretty far, even thrive while everyone is expunged.

After all, USSR only collapsed in 1991, 69 years after Stalin took power, after killing probably 1/4 of its population in gulags.
Thank you, that makes a lot of sense and is a perspective that I hadn't thought about.
But if you are charging at home or in the parking garage or at the restaurant you have no reason to be at the petrol station any more and therefore no opportunity to buy overpriced things!
It's probably the predictability and bounded costs that help.

I've been on both sides of this. I've been on projects with tech debt, but I've also had lots of experiences where new developers join a project and immediately, before even seeing the code at all, announce that they enjoy "making code clean" and "cleaning up tech debt" and where is the tech debt they can refactor away? Or they'll join, spend literally 20 minutes reading the first file they come across and then start pronouncing the decisions made by their new collegues 18 months ago as obviously "legacy" or "hacky".

That's usually a sign of trouble. The whole concept of tech debt or "cleanness" is very under-defined. One man's tech debt is another man's pragmatic solution, or even clean design.

The last company I worked at is basically being killed by this problem. The technical leadership is weak and agrees to what the engineers say too easily. Theoretically there's a product team but they aren't technical enough to argue with the devs. The moment the company started getting product/market fit and making good sales the devs announced the product - all of three years old - was riven with tech debt and would need a massive rewrite (it didn't, I worked on it and it was fine). Three years later their grand rewrite still didn't launch. Utterly pathetic. The correct solution would have been to crack down on that sort of thing and tell devs who wanted to rewrite the product that they were welcome to do that, somewhere else. Or, they could get back to adding features that would actually make users happier.

I think a lot of companies have had that experience - the sort of devs who are obsessed with "clean code" and "tech debt" often exhibit extremely poor judgement and can end up making things worse. Especially if the product has a naturally limited lifespan anyway due to e.g. pace of change in the industry, it can be fatal to spend too much time on meta-coding.
Nice work, but displaying the time evolution of individual quaternion components is about as intuitive of a visualization as displaying the time evolution of an individual pixel to visualize video compression...
Spurred me to dig out an anecdote: 2005 Toyota Solara, 3.3l V6, vacation trip from CA to UT and back, Sept 2016, moderate A/C use: 6 days, 2550 miles, 28.9 mpg (100% lowest-octane "regular" gas used). As others have noted, driving smoothly with minimal/gentle acceleration has a major mpg benefit.
Frankly, no.

It’s typical Vice Media and many other news sites whose revenues are dependent on drawing page views.

Take a very minor issue and amplify it loudly to make it seem much bigger than it is…draw in page views and make money.

I loathe this type of click-baiting…but on the bright side, the media companies that specialize in this stuff (Vice Media, BuzzFeed, et al) are often failing ones looking to salvage what’s left of their existence.

For example, Vice is drowning in debt to the tune of $1.1 billion[1]and is finding it impossible to sell for a price that’ll leave anything on the table for equity investors.

They tried the SPAC scam route [2] but I guess that didn’t work out for them.

It's also how the Byzantine Empire went into its downwards trajectory starting with the late 1000s. In fact, it was a little more complicated, as the Empire had to resort to using mercenaries because its theme system had been basically broken into pieces by the Empire oligarchy and by the Church, so Byzantium having to resort to mercenaries in order to defend itself was mostly, by that time, a consequence of said oligarchy and Byzantine Church doing their thing against the small Byzantine tax-payers.

And before someone starts saying that the Roman Empire lived "through" the Byzantine Empire all the way to 1453 I have to say that from my point of view that is only valid until the late 6th-early 7th century, by the end of Heraclius's [1] reign the Byzantine Empire was a thing totally different compared to the Roman Empire.

We do treat other people as having experiences; why should a clone suddenly be excluded?
The cost is much higher than that when you account for the friction added to day to day developer work after compliance processes are put into place.

Adding 5% more friction on every step of development compounds a lot.

I disagree and have made my case elsewhere. Anymore and I think we'd be going in circles.

I think I used it correctly, but agree to disagree on this as well.

Sorry for confusing your suspicions with something more conspiratorial.
The “shadow foster system” is related to this and has some problems. These are complex situations, maybe sometimes there is no good options.

That is very cheap, if you want to rent a similar sized piece of land in the same place it costs orders of magnitude more. Just think about how much a restaurant with some tables on the sidewalk is paying.
"And so how can we blame anybody for avoiding “fixing themselves,” even if it goes wrong?"

Choosing polyamory is not "fixing oneself." There is no benefit to it, unless the only thing you get out of sex is physical pleasure.
Gas stations going insolvent because of EVs and the effects is something I have been documenting at https://postpump.org

The problem is that I think outside of highway and freeway infrastructure most stations are doomed. You simply don’t want to stay in a 711 parking lot that long.
Should be noted that Duke Energy spilled a massive amount of coal ash into the river near Wilmington during hurricane Florence in 2018.

Also, dozens of pig waste ponds the size of football fields overflow and wind up in rivers during every hurricane as well. 33 of those overflowed during Florence. 46 in the storm before that.

Something tells me that North Carolina's conservatives are far less concerned about open-pit storage of hazardous waste than cars sold from an out of state dealer.
Would not surprise me. Most kids who had parents so bad they needed to be removed from them aren’t going to have had good childhoods.
I greatly appreciate the Jobs-era Mac OS X, with its Unix and NeXT heritage; in fact I personally think the high water mark of the Mac from both a software and hardware perspective was the Mac OS X Snow Leopard era. Nowadays I use FreeBSD and Windows, but I would be glad to use a variant of Snow Leopard with HiDPI support, updated browsers, and security patches if such existed.

With that being said, there is something warm-feeling and even whimsical about the classic Mac OS and classic beige Macs. I truly think the Apple Human Interface Guidelines of the 1990s were well written and are timeless recommendations for making great, usable software. I believe designers of today's user-facing software tools should acquaint themselves with a classic Mac running contemporary programs like Microsoft Word 5.1 and the ClarisWorks suite to see great examples of well-designed software. I also like both the System 7 and Platinum themes, with a slight preference toward Platinum. I'm really curious about A/UX, which married the classic Mac OS and Unix, and I'm also curious about Rhapsody, a predecessor to Mac OS X that was based on NeXTSTEP but featured the Platinum theme from Mac OS 8.
I'm having trouble parsing your post. You can add multiple owners to a gem. You can also disable 2FA for API access on a per-account basis (though it isn't recommended) for a CI runner--which, tbh, is how a popular gem should be being published. What's the objection here?
Price is defined by the most recent trade, nothing else. It doesn't matter how much money is in crypto accounts.

When you buy crypto with USD that's a one time transaction that has no bearing on future price.

> No one is guaranteed a rate if return.

While true, I think it is fair that people broadly share an expectation that time value of money has a positive value and that central banks shouldn’t be subverting market forces to eliminate all opportunity costs of capital.

What is the purpose of comparing a profit margin percentage to nominal revenue?

Are you claiming that profit margin percentage should always go down in a competitive market as revenue goes up? Do you have sufficient knowledge about the scalability and marginal costs of a business to be able to make that claim?

Also where you getting "trillions" of dollars of revenue from?

UHC - $300B, Anthem - $145B, CVS - $300B, Cigna - $177B, Humana - $86B, Molina - $29B, Centene - $133B, Kaiser - $90B.

Total is ~ $1.3T for the biggest managed care organizations. They get much smaller after that. The fact that all of these organizations are publicly traded with public financials and they all have many years of consistent 5% or less profit margins is very high quality evidence of a competitive market with not much juice left to squeeze.

>Which kind of makes sense, since the switch to EVs will probably cause acute financial distress, such as destroying the financial situation of any family that owns/runs a gas station

There are tons and tons of people who live in apartments with no chargers or electrical sockets near parking spots, and who would like to purchase an EV. Gas stations can install non-free EV charging stations right now, and it will actually increase their non-gas business since EV charging takes longer, so the customer is incentivised to shop the convenience store to stretch their legs. Gas stations can install things like game kiosks etc. to help them pass time while making money. I am sure they can get more creative.For example, a small best selling books/magazines stall that people can read for free while waiting, and then buy if they want to continue reading. Paid massage chairs, VR playing stations, VR viewing chairs etc. etc.

We need to provide social welfare and basic income so that we don't have to pump poison into air, cause global warming, and basically pay for dependence, cause instability and war in the Middle East and now in Eastern Europe.

Maybe you could eliminate orexin as the cause if you ate a big meal and inhaled orexin, then noted if it lowered drowsiness (placebo affect aside)
It's 100% the truth. First responders are neither instructed to nor required to sacrifice their lives at work. They're required to take upon some amounts of risk as a matter of circumstance, but that line stops far before death.

The idea that first responders can solve anything is a very comforting idea that resonates with many people. That doesn't make it true.

Transmeta managed to hire Linus Torvalds. Hiring is mostly - not entirely - about money.
Do you have a source? With a brief search I was unable to find a credible source that supports your claim. These papers suggest that anyone involved in child-welfare as a child has a higher risk, unless they can go back home.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5644395/

> Youth aging out of foster exhibit similar rates of literal homelessness and housing instability as other child welfare-involved youth, while youth who reunify after out-of-home placement in adolescence experience the lowest probability of literal homelessness

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3969135/

> Consistent with earlier studies, we found that youths aging out of foster care are at high risk of becoming homeless during their transition to adulthood. Specifically, 36% of the 624 Midwest Study participants whose outcomes we could observe reported at least 1 episode of homelessness by age 26 years. That figure could be as low as 31% or as high as 46% depending on the rate of homelessness among those with unobserved outcomes, which means that, at a minimum, nearly one-third of the study participants were homeless at some point after leaving foster care.

Obviously these studies are talking about risk and not a percent of the population, but it does seem that being effectively a homeless child increases risk of being a homeless adult at some point.

The latter study mentions several mechanisms to ameliorate the problem.
What is your evidence that the average human brain performs any meaningful computation?

A lot of our mental lives is the regurgitation of past tropes. Does failing to have a novel thought disqualify someone as having sentience?
Isn't this a bit backwards?

I expect a new hire to understand that they can't put all their initiatives into the product, certainly not a joke, unless they're explicitly told otherwise. I'd expect a new hire to understand there is a natural pace for everything to grow -- as in all relationships -- so they can't go all out on day 1.

On the other hand, I'd want a senior engineer to use their initiative a lot more often. They would also understand that their job is to contribute confidently to the best of their ability.

Animal hunting is mostly a settler fantasy. There's not a single place in the US that has sufficient animal population to sustain human nutrition for more than a couple hundred people. You will require careful husbanding. And, for anything larger than feeding ~100 people, you'll require feedstuff. Which you transport... Ah. There's the lack of energy sources again.

Social dynamics are the least of your problem: The confrontation fans tend to die out quickly, or secure a fiefdom within which they ensure collaboration. Human beings pretty much default to tribal behavior. And they favor collaboration even across tribes. (I recommend reading Rebecca Solnit's "Paradise built in hell")

> The only real difference between what you are describing and GPT-3 is that your dataset from which you draw all your opinions about the world is unique and comes from the sensory input you had experienced in your life, stored directly in memory. Whereas GPT-3's dataset comes from slices of many other peoples' sensory experiences, stored in language.

So is this debate partially just another way of asking if language is the same as reality? The difference between "things I've experienced" vs "stored in languages" seems... not trivial to me? Both in that I think the way biological memory works is non-trivially different from word tokens stored in computer memory, and also in that I think there's more to having experienced something than it just being stored in biological memory (or maybe that biological memory is more than just "memories", but is encoded throughout the body overall -- a scar is a type of memory of an injury, for instance, connected to but still different from my "memory" of having received it).
