Actually the reason is much simpler. The government borrows money into existence. It has to eventually pay that money back. If you keep your cash under a mattress for all eternity then those debts can't be paid back because money is not returning from the private sector to the public sector. This also true for private debt, but it is particularly comical with public debt as all the money stored under a mattress has to be replenished to maintain a sufficient amount of currency in circulation.

Imagine it as if you are the government and acting as a dairy farmer and your cows are constantly fleeing onto private land. You can't get those cows back, instead you breed new cows. Since no cows return from the private lands and there is a constant stream of escaping cows, private lands are being flooded by cows. People complain about the government printing too many cows, devaluing the value of their existing cows.

You can see, this whole scheme is just a very backwards implemented debt jubilee in an environment where an actual debt jubilee would lead to pitchforks coming from the rich.
What would you say of Russia's overall trajectory from the late 1990s to present times by most any quantifiable value: economy, security (as in personal safety), opportunity, and so on? I'm not trying to be snarky or rhetorical, and am asking out of genuine curiosity. I'm sure you know what I'm referencing and this tends to give me a quite positive view of the competence of Russian leadership, but I'm also an outsider and am certain there are things I'm missing or not considering.
> No amount of housing will cure drug addictions or mental health problems.

But the main part of problems -- for others, if not the drug addicts themselves -- caused by drug addiction are not direct but indirect: Crime (to get money for drugs) and "general nuisance" behaviour like peeing on the floor at Starbucks.

More "liberal" drug policies (like, e.g, Portugal's?) would go a long way towards fixing the former; providing housing for the homeless would go a long way towards fixing the latter. Sure, it's "fixing the symptoms, not the disease" -- but since the "symptoms" seem to be a large (the largest?) part of the problem (it's them the OP article is about, and what we seem to dicussing here), fixing them kind of is fixing "the problem".
I think this was more to inspire a rough contents and format, rather than actually proposing GitHub is a good place to store this stuff - print it out and stick it in a safe.
Others make black-earth with it, why the need for burning?
> You can somehow just tell they're garbage without even taking one off the shelf.

For better or worse, I honestly think I just blank out these kinds of books. Still, I would have thought that the existence of a living author selling in the hundreds of millions would trickle down to me through one cultural tributary or another. Maybe through articles like this, through a blockbuster film adaptation, through word of mouth, etc.
I'm not sure how to investigate who owns lots of lands, but I think the Walmart near me did the same. They used to be in a big building, but then after some time cut down the forest literally nextdoor and built a bigger Walmart there. The original building still stands but is leased by another brand.

Also known as Powergaming, back in the day. Powergaming is probably unhealthy in the long run for large communities in games for many reasons, and with exceptions.

But unhealthy things can often be loads of fun in small doses!
I think your issue is the 5400rpm disk. KDE uses a lot more of dynamic libraries (for various plugins) compared to xfce. On hard drives, that means a lot of random disk accesses, which tends to slow down startup speeds a lot.
Evidence can and always be fabricated. See famous cases in European and American history.
Just to add, you should never have joint pain, even if you run a marathon. Adjust your running form. At the end of a tough race your muscles should scream at you and some tendons might hurt, but if your joints hurt, you're doing something wrong.
Yes of course one has to work at it to get it right.
I'm not sure of that extreme of a ratio, but many of my single women friends will use the app, match with people, and it turns out that loads of the guys are just really useless... so it's not clear whether the matches are actually worthwhile.

Imagine a guy with a very interesting profile, who swipes right all the time. People match with him cuz he has the nice profile. Turns out that he sticks around on the platform for a long time.

Suddenly this one person is responsible for loads of matches. So if you have these long-term users, they can generate disproportionate amount of matches with themselves, biasing the pool.

This could be even more accentuated by Tinder-style algos. Somebody's popular? Of course their profile will show up more often!

If you combine this with people on the other side matching pretty conservatively... then suddenly you can have a handful of men receiving the large majority of the focus.

Paraphrasing some tweet, at least at parties the most popular guy can only talk to so many people at once!

Exactly what i was thinking!

In Chile you need to do that, otherwise the good earth is blown away in days, and restore it need's years.

Even in "wet" Switzerland you have to plant some special grass to protect the field when it's "resting".
Wouldn't that make the word "see" essentially useless since we cannot know what we've seen?

"I saw a cow outside" - "No, you perceived a cow. You have no idea what you saw because you cannot access that information."

Does this seem like a good definition of "see" according to you?
I'm a self taught engineer. The hardest part was getting an interview through the automated filtering and having a relevant degree may have helped with that. Could you try to job hunt and enrol at the same time? In NZ, universities give full refund if you drop out after a while (and a partial one after certain time), so you could drop out if you manage to find a junior position.

Also,

> why haven't I enrolled earlier? It almost feels unfair now. I've put so much work into everything, and for what, only to start from the beginning again?

You won't necessary start from the beginning. You will be able to excel in your courses and dig deeper with your current knowledge!
Short sentences.
You did not read Charlie's essay, did you?

At 17 people per passenger trip, supported by, say, 5 cargo flights each, how many flights get you to 100M population? 1M population?

I get ~60,000 passenger flights for the first 1M pop, plus 300,000 cargo flights. Each cargo or passenger flight needs what, ten fuel launches? So, about 4 million launches. At 10 launches per day (!), in twenty years, you have 73k launches, and 19k colonists delivered. Presumably after twenty years you have made some bigger rockets and added more spaceports. So, the next 20 years maybe you get another 40k colonists?

60,000 people is a very small city.

You have maybe enough people to work the machines to keep people alive, but nowhere near enough to produce semiconductors, space suits, axial-flux motors, batteries, tires, diapers, dish detergent, shoes, cybertrucks, plastic sheeting for habitat expansion, solar panels, Starlink satellites, Starlink terminals, CAT6, optical fiber, superconducting tape, MRI scanners, laptops, phones, speakers, underware, pencils, paper, coffee, chairs, glass bottles, light bulbs, transformers, Romex, wall sockets, ductwork, duct tape, fans, compressors, vacuum pumps, pots, kettles, microwave ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, laundry machines, CNCs, m3 screws, nuts, and washers, bulldozers, excavators, forklifts, plexiglas, mirrors, tupperware, eyeglass frames, pressure hose, hose clamps, hydraulic cylinders, zip ties, label-printer tape, activated carbon filter sheets. Antidepressants, anxiolytics. I might have missed something; they better not! Fortunately, scrap stainless steel sheet, pallets, and rocket engines will pile up fast.
