Eh, but one could just as easily say "non-SPA" websites aren't all that great either, see? The real bloat is the 15 trackers and ad platforms, imho. I am not advocating for SPAs, btw. Personally, I mostly browse with JS disabled.

Complexity takes many forms. The last thing many* complex back ends need is serving a plethora of clients instead of data.

I get this. What I mean is, why won't Firefox connect to the Tor network and fetch the data?

Most people don't know about the Tor browser and instead of advising them to install it (or use some tor2web proxy) you could just hand them the onion link. Many people know about Firefox, even if they use Chrome or Safari, so it would be easier for them to install it if needed. It's about providing them with easy access to onion sites.

From the article:
"A common retort to the claim that union labor drives up costs is that other countries, especially in Europe, have both high union participation and lower project costs. But it is widely recognized in the industry that unions increase project labor costs by 20 to 25 percent on average in the U.S."

The article spends alot of steam making an argument that unions drive up costs, then proffers data that shows it's not a solid argument, then just kind of waives it away by saying their argument is "widely recognized" to be true.

I actively HATE most company swag.

Clothing is the most universal & oldest manner in which most people express themselves. To tie your company to your identity so explicitly is unhealthy, and swag signals that to everyone within eyesight. My disdain most applies to every fashion with blocky company branding.

There is a way to do swag tastefully. I love MSFT's patent cubes and laptop stickers, it stays limited to professional life. Useful electronic gifts (tablets, headphones) are great, because the branding is an organic part of the product you buy. Even clothing can work, if the branding is undetectable. (Themed around tech, but not the company).

No, don't give me a 300$ Patagonia jacket or hiking bag with massive unremovable branding. I want to go climb my target mountain on it, and I do not want 'company name' plastered over some of my fondest memories. NO ONE has ever looked at a person wearing 'company brand' t-shirt and thought : "Gee, they must be smart, they work for big-name company'. This is further exacerbated by the fact that big name FANG+ companies are effectively in the business of advertisement and attention exploitation.

As long as tech people keep wearing terribly fitted company swag for everyday activities, I can't sympathize with their complains about tech careers perceived negatively in the dating market. We brought this upon ourselves.
"The grid" is not a uniform piece of infrastructure with similar capacity or use patterns in all areas. I think people drastically underestimate the amount of time it will take to absorb these changes to a point where "critical mass" is reached.

I'm very skeptical on the road trips part as well, it still appears you're going to spend 15% to 30% of your total trip time sitting at several chargers along the way. For day trips this might not be an issue, but for long range multi day trips, the patchy availability still seems to be a real problem.

The intersection of Hotels and Motels with Supercharging On Site is still a very narrow proposition. I'm excited for the future, but I believe it's further away than most people readily acknowledge.

Most of what you mention seems to be loosely related to fintech. There's nothing wrong with that but it doesn't match your previous comparison to the internet.

I don't see this as a bad thing at all. We could do with fewer "megaprojects" unapologetically stepping on people's toes. Frankly, if the project isn't economical after accounting for what it would cost to buy up the necessary property at market rates--which is to say, rates the actual owners will voluntarily accept without any threat of coercion or eminent domain--then it simply isn't worth doing.

If you don't build for them, they're going to buy up whatever property they can, raise rents, and destroy existing communities instead. Or you can somehow stop... them from moving in? America has never blocked freedom of movement so this seems unlikely.

> If you want to get serious about housing people in America, you need to think about supporting policies that would slow down the 200K-1M people we add to the US every year, each of who needs housing.

No I don't think I need to stop population growth for building aesthetics, sorry I don't like to count my cityscape in lives blocked to maintain it ("ah that genteel cul-de-sac was worth 300 people #blessed"). Unless you can make a convincing argument as to why this very moment in history is when America needs to add blocks to development, as opposed to the development of the trans-American railroad, the creation of Route 66, or the establishment of the Interstate Highway System, then I'm going to say you're just the garden variety NIMBY that everyone else seems to think you are.

West Virginia is one of the most conservative states. It is a huge anomaly that they actually have a Democratic senator. There is no way Manchin tries to lift the filibuster for anything supporting abortion. Actually, I would guess he rather likes the filibuster as it keeps him from having to actually vote on a lot of controversial issues.

>Is it okay that one can pay data giants to put false social media posts in front of millions of select people that have been heavily profiled to be statistically more likely to believe such postings and change their voting behavior as a result?

Yes, I believe it is okay for people to talk with other people about political issues to strengthen or change their opinion. It's a good strategy to focus on talking to people who are most likely to convert to avoid wasting your time with people who firmly hold the opposite opinion.

>Is it okay that the payment processing service used by your pharmacy and grocery store sells purchasing data to insurance companies? Surely they will never use this data to raise your rates, right?

Yes, if people who buy bananas and live alone are more likely to slip and fall then I see it as fine for an insurance company to raise the rate. Typically the more data an insurance company has, the more accurate they can predict the probability of a payout. If someone is trying to hide data that causes an insurance agency to underestimate this probability I would consider that as fraud.

>Is okay for third parties like cell phone providers and credit card companies to collect information about who goes to the abortion clinic and sell that information to people that might wish to see them face murder charges in a death penalty state?

I guess what I had in mind was stuff like "removing one of three highway arteries in the third largest US city thereby pushing tons of traffic onto side streets (where pedestrians and cyclists are) and removing all of the bus routes that depend on said artery just to spite drivers".

> Replace several street parking spaces (in a neighborhood with hundreds of spots) to put in a bike lane? Punishment.

Drivers in general aren't going to object to a particular bike lane, although obviously drivers who park on that block probably will (and understandably so). Also, "with hundreds of spots" isn't significant if there are hundreds more drivers than spots in that neighborhood.

> Cut ten minutes off bus travel time by installing a dedicated bus lane, at the expense of a minute or two extra for car traffic?

I don't know. I would be open minded if you could convince me that the bus lane is actually going to move more people (yes, the capacity is greater, but that doesn't guarantee that the throughput will be greater, for example if there aren't enough buses running to saturate capacity or if the buses aren't full or etc).

> Make drivers pay money to store their cars on public streets? Punishment

Well, they are public streets, which suggests that everyone pays for them. But at least in my major city, we do pay to park our cars on public streets, once in the form of a city sticker, once through taxes, and (in many cases) again through meters. We could talk about drivers paying more for parking, which will of course be unpopular among drivers, but it's not like cyclists are going to line up to finance bike lanes nor are public transit users likely to support a rate increase to finance improvements to buses and trains. Everyone wants the public to pay for the infrastructure they use, but public financing of infrastructure they don't use is less popular.
First, churches frequently rent out schools to do religious ceremonies. This has always been allowed.

Second, this event happened after the game so it didn't disrupt the game or anything like that.

Third, separation of church and state is not in the Constitution and so it is just a general principle not any sort of binding law.

Fourth, separation of church and state does not mean that a church / religious person cannot use state property. Read Jefferson's letter where he coined the phrase. It means the state cannot interfere with the religious institutions. It was a one way separation.

Fifth, this was a personal ceremony, not an entire mass.

Does anyone still believe Apple has a real interest in privacy?
I think it would be entertaining to have a recurring competition where teams sign up to compete on a few metrics like performance, number of total features completed, and maybe some kind of code review. Everyone would be given the same project spec and list of features, and have the choice of one of a few different frameworks per contest. So you'd end up with like 10 teams of various quality using react, and 10 using angular, and 10 using Vue or whatever the contest definition is.
Literally no one would ever seek public office for any reason, at any level, if it meant losing everything they own and any ability to own property or gain income apart from a presumably meager stipend for the rest of their lives (so definitely no young politicians with fresh ideas) and then lose their retirement if (I assume, given the tone of this premise) they get so much as a parking ticket.

I know Americans hate politicians but we treat mass murderers better than that. We definitely treat billionaires who are far more corrupt and have far more power than most politicians better than that. Why not go full Thomas Jefferson as well and just hang all the politicians every 20 years?

I don't agree there. Some games are still like this. "Arcade" games are not the ones I like. I didn't like them when I had an Atari 800 XL but back then there wasn't really much else to play, due to limited system resources.

But even back then I loved "Adventure", the idea of a whole world inside that computer. Shooting endless waves of aliens had much less impact on me.

We have more types of games now, and some are approaching the complexity of the real world. Some are still not. This is a good thing IMO.

> In Washington State, teacher salaries were raised substantially,

Can you cite where you saw this data, what time period it refers to, what "substantially" actually means, and include a comparison against inflation, please?

> ... plus a substantial increment for every student in their class that meets grade level expectations at the end of the school year.

I think basing teacher pay on merit is a great idea in theory but I have some problems with it. Most of all, student performance is influenced to a greater degree by things outside the teacher's control like the student's socioeconomic status, their attendance (or lack thereof), their parent's education, and even the air quality in their school.

I also don't know how "teacher" raises based on "meeting grade level expectations" would work past elementary school when students are cycling through seven teachers a day? Just because one child excels at math do you give the math teacher a greater raise?

Finally, what if a student does NOT meet grade level expectations, but shows the greatest improvement year-over-year against any other student. Do you fail to recognize the achievement of the teacher who improved this student's outcome because the student does not meet grade-level expectations?

These are just some of the problems which make this a much thornier issue and worth greater consideration. It sounds good when you say teacher pay should be based on merit, but it oversimplifies things quite a bit.
