> You could imprison slaves and pick cotton, that doesn't mean the cheaper cotton is result of a free market, because it is predicated on force rather than voluntary exchange.

Isn't regulation against slavery inherently a restriction of a free market? There is obviously violent coercion baked into it, but from an economic perspective, it is basically an elimination of minimum wage which is an artificial limitation on the market.

> Possibly yes, possibly no, but forcing the tax for it under the gun of the tax man is a big strike against it being a free market, in any nation that taxes universally for it. I would have to contrast that against the gun of the regulator in the US effectively forcing the provider and consumer to follow their onerous constraints. One could make the argument that an otherwise unregulated but universal healthcare system might be considered a freer market, but I don't know enough about these other nations to say which ones that may be.

But whether the funding comes from public or private sources is not what most defines a free market. That comes from competition between buyers and sellers. I view US healthcare as more free market because buyers aren't nearly as limited. Many other countries restrict the market by centralizing purchasing through the government. This distortion of the free market gives the buyers more power which can result in lower negotiated prices. It isn't that healthcare markets in other countries are less regulated that makes them cheaper. It is that they are regulated in specific ways to make sure they are cheaper.

Lots of people just need to think in terms of CICO and no dumb diets to lose weight, they just eat less. Other people need to create arbitrary rules to eat less calories since they are addicted to some foods, so they need to cut out all the foods they are addicted to in order to reduce calories in. For example, people addicted to carbs do low carb diets to curb their calories in, people addicted to desserts do a no dessert diet and they will lose weight etc.

The only thin that makes this complicated at scale is that different people are addicted to different foods, so need to cut out different things to start losing weight. But CICO is the basis for all of those.
> a homegrown UI framework

I am deeply puzzled by both your and the sibling comment, which suggest that the only way to go is to build a framework. To advance such argument, especially when comparing something to React, is to forget that:

- React also for a long time was advertised as a view-layer library for creating UI components, not as a "framework".
- There've been numerous debates in which advocates of Angular or Ember were suggesting that because of such inherent lack of structure, React apps were always different between projects, as opposed to the clear conventions used in Angular or Ember project. This did not deter React supporters and did not prevent React from succeeding.
- React was created as a library when web browsers did not have a standardized component model; just as jQuery was created as a library when browsers did not have a unified way of interacting with the DOM. Years have passed, and web browsers have matured to the point when a native component model has become a reality. You do not need to home-grow a framework in order to take advantage of them.
Yesterday I heard a story about the Chinese green energy industry.

The government subsidizes companies that run city transportation services. The subsidy amount is determined by the overall mileage (of clean energy buses) a company has served during one year.

So those companies raise their clean energy buses with a jack and let them run continuously to update the odometers in order to collect the money.
This reminds me of the time when I believe it was California implemented a gun buyback program for dangerous, untraceable 3D printed guns. Some clever git with a 3D printer saw the obvious opportunity and made his almost-literal money printer go brrrr.

Any attempt to hold music by some metric of purity ('real'ness) is always bound to be reductive and rather joyless imo. Surely there has to be 'classic' artists or genres that you've enjoyed at one time or another. Leverage the existing knowledge or potential curiosities that are within that pallette, and explore the rabbit hole a little deeper. Go back to your favorite tunes and look beyond just the name on the box. (Who are the performers/producers on that great album I spun endlessly back in the day? What other works have they been a part? Did they ever namedrop other artists in old interviews? Who'd they tour with? What other stuff did their label put out? etc. This can be repeated endlessly with every new name you come across that piques your interest. Rateyourmusic, Discogs and Wikipedia are probably good starting points to reference this info.)

I think anyone could likely find a trove of new (to you, at least) content by simply digging a bit outside of their comfort zone to try genres that are totally alien to your ears, like Avant Garde Jazz or Krautrock or Experimental music, just for example. Or by finding a genre you know you like, then exploring the likely myriad subgenres which emerged years later or are developing right now under its influence. A lot of the most satisfying things in life won't be fed to you, so the most important thing is to just keep an open mind and appreciate that although certain things may not click right away, it may not be worth writing off entirely. An important aspect of appreciating contemporary music is being aware of the cultural canon from which it was born and finds itself released within. I find that being able to connect some dots in one way or another between older and more contemporary artists/releases/genres will yield a greater appreciation of what's happening today. Applies to all forms of art, really.

Why do you claim “most”? Are you certain? Do you have data? I saw a lot of delivery scooters in California, but they seem far less common in other cities. Lane splitting also isn’t legal everywhere either, so scooters aren’t necessarily faster. What cities & countries are you referring to?

Scooters are very limited in cargo capacity are not particularly viable in rainy or winter weather, not to mention just statistically increased injuries and danger for riders, which eventually translates into liability with scale. If you have to make multiple trips when one car trip would have sufficed, that completely undermines the cheap & fast argument. If you have to have cars around for bad weather days or bad weather seasons anyway…
I hope it lasts that long.

I picked up and used XNA for the global gamejam 2012. It wasn't a terrible experience, so I went to use it again for 2013 but they'd since killed it off.
Right now it is new, but soon people will start to see the common sorts of failures that AI generated art has (and will have a very difficult time getting rid of) will become obvious and seem tacky and cheap.

Look at the coins with the dragon and his horde for example. The newness will wear off, people will become sensitized to the flaws, and AI "art" will find a niche which is quite a lot smaller than people impressed with technology imagine.

Art and artists aren't dead, AI is not at all "creative" just derivative. It will be one influence among many for actual artists, become a tool for some, and for the rest of us, take the place of "art mill" art for the kinds of places that want to look fancy without putting any effort into it. (I'm looking at you, "luxury" apartment building with the exact same bad, inoffensive abstract print on every floor's elevator lobby)
One thing I have been curious about is: where are all the old programmers? I want to learn from them but very few put out material, and so you gotta get lucky that you work with one.

I’m not sure that it would even be larger now than before.

Subsonic flight has become much more efficient, cheaper and when paying for higher class, more comfortable. This is one of the reasons often mentioned for the economic demise of the concorde. The audience willing to pay $6000 on a concorde ticket, could now spend $4000 on first class subsonic with a seat that fully reclines into a bed. They can fly a little longer at night but sleep the whole journey.

Wendover did a good economic analysis of the concorde: https://youtu.be/n1QEj09Pe6k
THAT would make tons of sense to me... here the flight is a greater share of the overall flight time, so cutting into that yields a greater percentage reduction on overall travel time, which is presumably the variable you'd want to most affect.
No it’s not. It’s exactly the same claim. “fuck all” means nothing or very little, in this context it’s obviously “very little”.

In any case, we’re discussing the sustainability of delivery services. Most of the world lives in cities, it really doesn’t matter if they’re unsustainable in rural areas.

This is a smart solution to the problem, if you must use OFFSET. That said, if you can avoid OFFSET, do, as it's typically considerably slower than a simple indexed range query.

If you're OFFSET-ing, say, 1000 records, I believe the database needs to load those 1000 records in some way, to exclude them from the result set (it's possible mysql does this differently than postgres). With a ranged query and a cursor (e.g. select * from tweets where created_at > CURSOR LIMIT 20) is, generally, more efficient. But cursored range queries don't make sense in a lot of cases and often come with some additional complexity in the code.
Will that also be the case if they actually have to pay for the carbon they emit in the process?

Currently airline passengers don’t have to pay for their carbon emissions, but I doubt that’s gonna last for much longer (we are in an emergency after all). And I’ve seen elsewhere in this thread that the emissions are likely gonna be somewhere between 5x and 10x of normal sub-sonic flights. The price of this extra carbon emission will probably be something that even affluent passengers will want to skip.
Why does their logo remind me of Peloton?
> Honestly music was profitable for a very brief period of time between around 1940s-1990's.

And having a market like this for a while bought us an incredible bounty of all kinds of music, some incredibly sophisticated, some with subtle & important things to say, some with all the art of a schoolyard taunt, some finding both wide and deep appeal.

If the conditions were unusual, so was the harvest -- bountiful enough that hopefully people will give a second thought about dismissing such conditions simply because they're potentially ephemeral (especially given that so are we).

As for commodification: it's different from monetization. It's distinguished by fungibility; muzak for grocery stores, elevators, hotel lobbies, customer service calls, etc being the greatest example, but of course some pop music is disposable too. And yet people don't always know the difference in advance (art is tricky in that way). In any case, monetization which rewards successful indelible efforts provides a powerful reinforcement for creators who have a knack for things people value or even find transcendent.

It might pay less than minimum wage - but will the drivers actually do the math?

I think that a solid portion of workers will accept significantly higher costs in exchange for slightly higher income, even if they come out worse. Lots of people will just look at the paycheck and won't think about their gas bill or how much time they actually spent.

Plus, one hour making $30 lets people rationalize 20 hours making $5/hr. That's how gambling works.

Add on the ability to "be your own boss," work when you want and start earning immediately, and I think people will keep doing delivery work even if the pay is shit.
It depends on where you go. I tend to see more pickups in cities in the U.S. South (dualies on the freeway with no trailer? Really?). More people with something to prove down there I guess.
How to streamline your processes as an engineering manager
I've been using the same Archlinux install over the past 12 years or so. Initially installed in 2006 (version 0.7 or so), I only re-installed properly when I switched from 32-bit to 64-bit packages, and from ReiserFS to Ext4 in the same step. Since then I've been using the same install on my personal computer, and just rsync-ed the files between hdds, laptops, etc.

It's been pretty stable, had some hiccups a dodgy kernel once I think. Can't remember what it was specifically.

The Seattle to Dubai flight is rough, but at least it's usually on a nice plane.

The worst flight I've had in a long time was a British Airways flight to Nairobi. Not actually all that long a flight to Nairobi from London, but BA uses their "This plane is definitely about to be decommissioned" planes on that flight. The panel between the cabin and the fuselage came loose when I nudged it with my foot and slid down into the hold, so I spent the whole flight with essentially all my possessions wrapped around me, certain that anything I dropped would vanish into the void.

There are a lot of situations where direct electrical storage is unfeasible and chemical fuels will still be necessary. From a carbon perspective this switches us from unearthing old carbon out of the ground towards recycling it.

Governments could also pay to have carbon pumped out of the air and buried back into the ground as reconstituted liquid fuel.
In the UK, there are now a lot of places that have delivery app only hours or are even exclusive to delivery apps.

I was in the same situation. My fresh install adjustments to Ubuntu consisted of a long list of apt packages, removing snap, dep packages, ppa's and some make builds.

I finally tried arch, and my long list of custom manual shenanigans was reduced to packman + aur. I'm seriously impressed, and it gave me a renewed hope for OSS.

I've used Linux, Windows and MacOS. For what an operating system does, the only flaw Linux has is due to lack of software and driver availability, neither of which has anything to do with the operating system itself. Because for what it is, and what it does, Linux and gnome is imo, absolutely excellent.
My points were that nuclear is flexible and reliable. Your point seems to be that solar's output is closer to average demand and has a lower price. These are totally separate design goals. My view is that flexibility and reliability are core design goals because they reduce resource use by decreasing the need for storage and long-range transmission, and because they reduce the risk of energy shortages, which have serious social consequences. Why do you think matching average demand and reducing monetary price are core design goals?

Your claims on land use and material use are empirically false.
