In high school I hung out with a youth group at Unity Temple in Oak Park, which is beautiful but beset by problems. Repairing the cracking exterior surfaces was a major project.

Distinctive architecture is risky. At elite levels it amounts to signing up to live, or work, in a major artist's work of sculpture, made with novel methods and materials. Repair becomes equivalent to art conservation. Budget accordingly.

> Use 4 colors, fill it up with whitespace and cram everything into squares.

For me the worst of those is the prevalence of whitespace, and the loss of the grey background.

Grey was the greatest color for UI background, it wasn't overly bright, it won't burn your eyes like modern UIs that shine like a thousand suns, no need for separate "dark theme" because a grey theme is comfortable in all light conditions, it allowed the content color to go in two different directions (if your background is white then your content can only get darker, but if your background is grey your content can be darker or brighter than the background), and it has a clear visual separation between the grey app UI (menus, toolbars, ...) and the white content (E.G. document being edited).
You need employees to care about their employer. This won't happen if the employer doesn't care about the employees first. I am not sure how true this is but I have a feeling a lot of the issues come from already successful businesses hiring MBAs who find and push for these worker optimizations that drive short term profits at the cost of eroding employee loyalty and company values. So maybe at the company level execs need to push back on viewing their employees as soulless automatons that need to be optimized. And at the nation level it would help if people didn't view continuous employment as vital to survival and separating health care from the employer (specific to the US) is a necessary step imo.

Some time back I recall an adventurous citizen scientist that did DIY gene therapy to add back his ability to digest lactose, and I think he even used a bacterial enzyme for reasons I don't recall. I think a bunch of more knowledgeable people called this reckless, but it seemed to work. Could we give ourselves a gene to break down cellulose?

In their FAQ, they mention this statistic.

On it's surface this is impossible. Does this refer to CO₂ equivalents like Methane? It seems that for carbon specifically, the process (pyrolysis, transportation, etc) emits more than one ton of carbon for every ton of oil sequestered.

sendfd is something we can add. Note that seccomp has limited visibility into recvmsg / sendmsg args because bpf can't dereference syscall arg pointers. I mention some of this in the caveats section. As for execpromises, it's documented in the Cosmopolitan Libc source code, but that got lost in translation when I copied the docs to the website. I just updated the site. I also appreciate the eyeballs. Something like this deserves critical examination. There's so much breadth to the modern system call interface and pledge. I started working on this about a month ago. With the support of folks like yourself, I think we'll have something really nice that will benefit Linux users! I'll definitely be doing more to make the C API as compatible with OpenBSD as possible.

Its hilarious how often people who bring up "the market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent" also believe in the free market being capable of solving any- and everything. Claiming breathlessly that the efficient market hypothesis is true while also stating the market can be irrationally/inefficiently allocated longer than someone who knows better can remain solvent. Efficiency is not usually tied to irrational behavior.

Gold has an intrinsic value below which it cannot fall (due to industrial uses), but it is much lower than current price, and BTC has no intrinsic value. Therefore, most of their current price is based on expectations of what other people will value it at. This means it is perceived as "high risk". Thus, it tends to move in similar ways to other high risk assets, e.g. high tech stocks or Chinese real estate bonds.

Also, gold has not dropped nearly as much as BTC, in part because it didn't rise nearly as much in 2020 and 2021.

Greater Tokyo Area? Tokyo Metropolis? Previous Tokyo City limits? New York City metro area? New York City? Manhattan? These can be 2 orders of magnitude apart in scale but they've all been talked about like it was the same location A and location B.

At the small scale Tokyo's densest ward is ~22,700/km^2 and Manhattan is ~28,800/km^2 with Manhattan being ~4x-5x the land area of the former (i.e. the core is a lot more dense). At the large scale the Greater Tokyo Area is ~2,900/km^2 and the New York Metropolitan Area is ~2,053/km^2 (i.e. the urban area around Tokyo is a lot more dense).

"Tokyo" is a good example that you can get affordable housing by focusing on how to spread the population over a large urban area but it's not a good example building more housing downtown is a scalable approach.
If they could get it online, they wouldn't be bothering to pay the premium to live in Manhattan.

It is almost as if forcing people who need professional psychiatric help out of the psychiatric clinics and putting them to their 'freedom' somehow has diametral effects on societal health.

My primary intention wasn't to refer directly to the morality of the USSR. Economically speaking, the USSR was a disaster, so I'm skeptical that we should implement the policies that quite literally destroyed a nation.

But yes, the USSR was a murderous state led by men who were happy to kill tens of millions of people for personal gain. I find that morally reprehensible.

I've only used Godot in a hobby context, but the full on C# support compared to other engines is pretty amazing. Just as a proof of concept I imported an open source C# library I've worked on that's designed to play old DOS music formats, created a small wrapper node with control functions, and I was able to control it as expected from within GDScript nodes right out of the box. Only issue I would have seen down the road would be cross-platform compatibility since the library itself was Windows only.

Caveat: I can't say I've ever got far enough in Unity to say if the C# support is of a similar scope. Godot just "clicks" better for me, so I've gotten way farther with it than anything I've done in Unity.

The API-First World – A Graphic Novel
There may be some overlap in some denominations I'm not aware of, but as far as the Eucharist is concerned, it's largely only a Catholic thing. In Catholicism, the first Eucharist has a particular significance as Christ/the Spirit dwelling within you. In Protestantism, it's only an ordinance, so is only a representation/ritual/tradition. There is often a component of confessing sins privately before partaking though, but the "Lord's Supper" (as it's called by most protestant denominations) is not a means of grace or sacrament in most protestant denominations. By "means of grace", I mean that taking the Lord's Supper does not lead to salvation or impart God's grace or anything else. It's purely symbolic in probably 95% of Protestantism. In the other 5% of orthodox Protestantism, it's not just symbolic, but is not a means of salvation/grace. In Catholicism (to my understanding of not being Catholic but studying it in a protestant seminary), it is considered a means of grace and imparts some form or measure of grace for salvation.

In all of Christianity though, there is an understanding that our sin is a failure to live up to God's holiness and standards, and that in Protestantism one of the pillars (5 solas) is that it is only through his grace, mercy, and love for us that Jesus came to die, and that our salvation is due to his grace alone and not something individually inherent in ourselves that makes us worthy.

I'm hedging all of that with the fact that there's a lot of religions/denominations/cults that call themselves "Christian", and many believe very different things.
Whenever I hear about the rental market in NYC I always ask myself: why do people want to live there?

If you post the cropped video online then the "center of attention" is clear.

Most videos posted online like this of the woman the center of attention is quite clear. If you are posting a video of a group of people whom happen to just be there it's also clear that it wasn't the intent of the video to record those people. Yes, it's subjective but the point of the law is to not completely outlaw video taping but to protect peoples privacy.

You also always have the option to blur peoples faces/beep their voice and then there is no issue when posting the video online. You can post a video of a person "freaking out" as long as they are not identifiable.

I don't see a difference between when someone records you with an ultra wide lens/high res than if someone is using a hidden camera at a pool. Both are illegal and most people except creeps aren't doing it.
The amount of homes being built in areas where people want them built aren't enough to offset demand. In areas where denser housing is required (coastal cities), zoning and NIMBYism prevents it.
> But as they get pushed further and further out it’s going to break down somewhere

It seems that higher rent is more likely to reduce standard of living first. Low wage earners who really want to be in the city will find a way, which generally means having a roommate and then I guess having even more roommates. I do wish NYC would build more dense buildings though so that a barista doesn't need to have 6 roommates.

Not saying it is, but tbh that story sounds like a canard or fake if there ever was one.
> They don’t owe anything to you or the city.

Of course not. And I don’t owe them anything either. By the same terms of your argument there’s no reason I should be satisfied with just letting them do what they want when it affects me directly since you’re stating that I should not try to do anything that affects them directly. I have my desires, which requires placing demands on their behavior since they are ignorant of the conditions of other human beings, act entirely selfishly and in a vacuum, and ruin things for the rest of us.

The fundamental principle is that people that are short-term renters disrupt communities in negative ways by having economic effects that harm long-term residents and ultimately break the existing community. I’m passing judgement on them because I witnessed the mass exodus that happened in 2020 and I witnessed all the struggle those who stayed had to endure and I witnessed the mass return of people that fled to “safer” spaces come back as though nothing happened and absolutely screw over everyone that stayed.

You must not have ever been subject to gentrification. You’ve got a real empathetic heart. I’m not “complaining” I’m trying to speak to the problem and suggest that existing solutions clearly are not enough. If anything is childish it’s your post, which tries to effectively say “we tried everything, there’s no possible other solution” and “in spite of the insane number of problems currently evident in our economics capitalism is fine and people should be able to manipulate the market without bound”. Your post has effectively no intellectual content. Being upset about something, evoking an opinion, and trying to advocate that we need a solution that will not only benefit myself but also the thousands of others affected by insane rent costs is not “acting like a spoiled child”, in my opinion. Do I have that solution? No, of course not. I’m not qualified. But if we restricted commentary on hacker news to professionally qualified individuals this thread would have close to 0 comments.

I don’t think I’m the child here.
