To Speak Meaningfully About Art
If you wanted to create a wall to defend some part of the world without raising alarms, it would be a good way to do it.
You seem quite worked up, and seem to be having a discussion about how a motorcycle would perform in a collision with a large car versus a small car colliding with a large car. To be clear, that's not what I'm talking about here. I was picking up on the parent post's question about why a motorcycle should be road legal, and this thing not, when the collision danger was probably equivalent or higher.

I'm not saying that this car is more dangerous in a collision than a motorcycle. It might be, though. This weighs more than a motorcycle, which means more mass involved in the collision, which means energy to be dissipated. In a basic understanding of physics, this is sometimes referred to as the mass-energy equivalence. It's denoted by the formula E = mc2 which is fairly well known.

It's not just about mass though, is it? It's not even just about collision safety.

Cars have features like airbags, crush zones and impact protection cells to make collisions more survivable. Some of these features are optional, but many are mandated by governments on new cars.

One of the reasons this vehicle would not be road legal is because a passenger getting in to the vehicle, or someone buying it second hand, would reasonably expect it to have these features. This is what I mean by obvious and non-obvious dangers. A motorcycle has obvious dangers. It's clear to anyone that if a car t-bones you, that car will impact your body directly. This car, however, has the appearance of "a newish car". What that means to someone in a developed country like Australia is "a vehicle that meets basic safety standards". This vehicle contravenes that expectation in a non-obvious way.

Regulations also exist around things like handling dynamics in collision avoidance scenarios. How does this vehicle perform if you need to swerve suddenly to avoid a kid that has run out in the street? Will it turn or skid onwards? Will it roll over? Will something else happen? It might perform wonderfully, but the certifying authority doesn't have any reliable information that someone reliable has tested it.

New vehicles sold also have regulations around the reliability of individual components. The master cylinder for the braking system must be manufactured to a given standard of quality. If the plastic casting is crappy and the lid blows off when you hit the brakes, that's a bad thing and someone could be hurt. Preventing things like this happening to unsuspecting bystanders is why we live in a society that has agreed to place restrictions upon itself for the greater good.
Income tax should be abolished though. Wealthy people can avoid it easily (get 1 USD wage as CEO and remainder in stock, for example).

Only consumption and wealth should be taxed. Wealthy people tend to consume more anyways. For some goods & services (energy consumption for example) a progressive tax rate might be appropriate, with tax exception for people who consume the least (as poor tend to do).

Luxury goods and services (private planes and yachts, luxury car brands, etcetera should also have a higher than normal tax rate, since for wealthy people the barrier to buy would still be low and poor or middleclass people can’t afford such goods and services anyway.

A system without income tax could also result in very simple tax reporting for most people, an additional benefit.

I agree, and this is a reason I am glad bitcoin exists.

My point is that there is nothing stopping bitcoin from being used in a paper cash like way, any more than any other value carrying token.

Bitcoin without government support? Possible, but inconvenient and dangerous.
Bitcoin with government support? More nice things.

Currently we are in the "with government support" world, more or less. I hope this continues.

> you cannot show a single successful enterprise that does not require land

You're engaging in reductio ad absurdum, because the space every person occupies is required for them to exist. Your argument is simply silly. A land-based business would be one that farms or mines or puts a racetrack on the land. Two businesses can be contained in offices right next to each other, and one goes bust and the other gets rich. The office is irrelevant.

> you are the guy who was arguing that seatbelts are dangerous and shouldn't be required.

That's a gross misrepresentation of what I argued. You got that one so wrong, perhaps you should try carefully reading my posts again in this thread.

Insulting others is not a convincing argument.
I remember being pretty mad at how a straight piece isn't immediately solved after you fix one wall. Like how can it still have wiggle room?! =))

> So another option is to adjust to 1/100 second every few months

That's pretty awful. We have a lot of systems now which care about duration. Any scheme that makes a time span unpredictable will cause problems. Doing it more often means more problems.

The only improvement is that you hope that the things that care about 1/100th of a second differences are rare enough that disturbing thing many times more often is a good tradeoff. This isn't a good bet especially because at time goes on we build faster and more stable systems that care about tighter and tighter synchronization.

Original german:

Ausgestellt in der Kraft- und Arbeitsmaschinenausstellung in München
Seit dem 12. September 1888
Die Münchener Blätter schreiben über diesen Wagen:
In der Kraft- und Arbeitsmaschinenausstellung finden seit gestern mehrere kurze Probefahrten mit dem patentierten Motorwagen der Firma Benz & Co. in Mannheim statt. Der Wagen ist eine viersitzige komfortable Kalsche mit umlegbarem Regendach und ruht auf drei Rädern, deren vorderes durch eine äußerst einfache Vorrichtugn, ähnlich wie bei den Tricycles gesteuert werden kann. Hinter dem Rücksitz im Wagenkasten ist ein kleiner zierlich gearbeiteter Benzinmontor angebracht, der mit den Hinterräden in Verbindung steht. Durch einen Druck auf einen unter der Steuervorrichtung angebrachten Hebel setzt sich der Wagen in Bewegung. Derselbe kann auf verhältnismäßig kleiner Fläche umkehren und sofort zum Stehen gebracht werden. Seine größte Fahrschnelligkeit ist die eines in scharfem Trabe fahrenden Fuhrwerkes.

Translated via DeepL (which is impressive, by the way):

Exhibited in the power and work machinery exhibition in Munich
Since September 12, 1888
The Münchener Blätter (papers) write about this car:
At the Motor and Working Machines Exhibition, several short test drives have been taking place since yesterday with the patented motor carriage of Benz & Co. in Mannheim. The carriage is a four-seater comfortable calash with foldable rain roof and rests on three wheels, the front one of which can be steered by an extremely simple device, similar to the tricycles. Behind the rear seat in the body of the car there is a small petrol motor, delicately made, which communicates with the rear wheels. The car is set in motion by pressing a lever located under the control device. It can turn around in a relatively small area and be brought to an immediate stop. Its greatest driving speed is that of a carriage driving at a sharp trot.
Amazing, works great!
Most FPGA projects need a processor anyway, usually adding a soft core, but a hard core is superior in area and performance -- though you cannot choose the type of core anymore, obviously. I'd argue this is a different scenario because they didn't "sprinkle cores" because they had the area but actually reduced the area needed.
Finding a new job is less about being selective, instead try applying to as many companies as possible and see what sticks. You only need one job.

Have you tried applying outside of the companies you mentioned? There are a lot of smaller Ruby focused companies that hire frequently. It might be worth applying to those because the interview process is less difficult there and in general if a company is small they tend to get fewer applicants, i.e less competition for you.

I've had particular luck apply for jobs via https://rubyonremote.com/remote-companies specifically when looking for Rails related work.

From the USA, we get news of banned book in some states. When I read that, my head goes back to my european history, and I reach the Godwin point very quickly.

Those kind of people will abuse such system to prevent things to be shared.

It will be used for putting DRM on everything and create a more and more closed web.

It will be used by corporations and govs to prevent wisthleblowers and journalists to do their job. Or to prevent employees to get evidences of mistreatments in case they need to sue.

Because if you look at it, it's basically just a system for information control. And bad actors love that.

And of course it will be "for security reasons".

Trusting people with a terrible track record to not abuse a massive power in the future, espacially one that can be scaled up with the push of a button once the infrastructure is in place, is not a good bet.

Quote:

> Much of the consumption of disposable tableware in Israel can be linked to the country’s ultra-orthodox population. Netanel Leifer, an editor for online magazine Kikar Hashabat, which caters to ultra-orthodox readers, told Calcalist that ultra-orthodox neighborhoods have hundreds of disposables stores. “For every convenient store, there is a store selling disposable tableware. It is very common,” he said.

Sure, the article gets into the convenience aspect of it, but for religious consumers, single-use plastics help tremendously with simply avoiding issues of cross-contamination of dairy and meat. Synagogues hosting light refreshments and meals do not need to maintain kitchens with strict supervision when there are no dishes to be washed, and neighbors who bring food over do not need to worry about whether their dishes were mistakenly used or washed incorrectly (i.e. households that keep separate meat/dairy sinks) if there are no dishes to return.

If you want a more recent source, feel free: https://www.ynet.co.il/environment-science/article/sjzqqpxco (Hebrew). Two years after that initial attempt in 2019, there's still 1.3 billion NIS spent per year on nearly 70,000 tons of single-use plastic, with more than 1/3 the population using single-use plastic on a daily basis and more than half using single-use plastic cups for drinking water from home/office cold water dispensers.

I think a better term would be a 15m neighborhood, rather than city. I live in Stuttgart in Germany and there is no way that you can walk this city in 15m, however my neighborhood has everything I need (store, bank, pharmacy, doctors, dentists, hair cut places, kindergarten, school, metro station, train station, etc) within 10m walking from my house (the food shop is 700m away - the furthest of all). This becomes even more apparent in a city like Paris, it has its own quarters where everything is locally available - you don't need to cross the city to reach anything because its all already available in your quarter.
