I like the idea but would make one suggestion. Let your user select delivery by email if they prefer. I don't like my phone to make noises unless there is a person I know trying to talk or text me. The one exception: I do let my LG washer and dryer notify me via text when a load is done.
Chemical farming happened because the bomb makers wanted to continue selling ammonia and giving ammonia to plants does make them grow big. But, it is a shortcut and destroys the symbiotic relationship with the soil life. Initially the soil still had a lot of organic matter and life in it and it only took a small amount of fertilizer. After killing the soil life there is no nitrogen, carbon, or phosphorus cycle, the OM erodes away, and the remaining dirt becomes compacted. As the soil degrades it has taken continually more fertilizer to keep yields up.

Pesticides destroy the food chain. They kill pests and their predators which makes it easier for the pests to thrive. Predators keep pest populations in check but do not eliminate them.

Fining the use of fertilizers and pesticides would be disastrous. If fertilizers and pesticides are seen as the sole way to grow all of our food the government will absolutely try to step in and pay for a portion or all of the fertilizers and pesticides as prices increase. This is the only way that chemical farming will remain dominant. It is simply becoming too costly to continue chemical farming.

Like I said before, the best course is to just let the transition happen at the rate that it happens.
I second this, if you enjoy thinking about these topics and reading sci-fi it's excellent. Interestingly, Suarez thanks Rick Klau in his book who until recently was California's Chief Technology Innovation Officer.

The endgame of having total access to peoples' private behavior to manipulate them for profit is not a CIA game. To my knowledge it's not a pattern to do a short stint in intel and then go into business to exploit the information you gathered. No this is different. This is the essence of the threat to democracy and to widespread economic opportunity, since it creates and insurmountable advantage for people with this information. Historically, power sharing doesn't survive when the balance of power is lost between narrow interests and the broader population. That balance is a rarity which is why so many civilizations throughout history settled into broadly 'disincensitivized' populations. If the US loses it, it would lose what makes it special.

Others have said it, but despite all this tracking I rarely see relevant advertising that is even close to targeting me, not on the web, not in my inbox, not on my TV, and not in my mail's box.

I even have my YouTubetv set to allow personalized ads but the inserted Google ads are still just mass market ads for cars, movies, and insurance.
IMO they need to change their model. If someone has been affording rent at 2k for many years, then they can afford a mortgage at 1.5k, that's not the case nowadays.

Why is the title “Is there hope for linux on smartphones?”?

If it said “Is there hope for GNU on smartphones?” the answer would be a resounding no, because the community is fractured and politicized to the degree the products are uncompetitive. Pinephone is an example. Then there was the Ubuntu effort.

Android, being partly closed as the GPL2 allows for, is proof that Linux can be highly successful without the GNU crowd. And perhaps they should stop taking credit for software they didn’t write. They made the license.

For all the complaining, the free software community hasn’t designed from the ground up and released one single production class handset alternative at a time when the culture consumes in the billions. That’s says a lot. The infighting and utopian idealistic virtue signaling is in sharp contrast to the reality of the platforms the GNU crowd has built.
I think the use of bare RocksDB is more common than the use of MyRocks.
Imagine going one step further and having each home owned by a separate owner, not just each second home.

Rents are being affected by every investor, including those that own only two houses. Perhaps more explicitly by large companies with hundreds or thousands of properties, perhaps not. I've certainly spent enough time on threads in which people who own only a single rental property in addition to their own home compare notes on how to raise rents for more income in their pockets.
Where gentrification exists, absolutely correct.

But there are a ton of areas not gentrifying, just turning the screws. One can see rent prices rise even in areas with a declining population, for example. And as long as enough people are willing to just pay more, everyone has to pay more. I'm not really proposing unionized renters, I don't know what the solution really is. The free market sounds nice on paper, until things crash ever so often.

It's not just rent, it happened with house prices, too. You had/have a sizeable amount of people out there willing to spend the absolute max the bank would approve them for, to compete. I was watching the RealEstate/REBubble subs over the last two years, and the number of people living outside their realistic means seemed insane to me.

This in turn made more competition, driving prices higher. A reasonable person who say, wouldn't try to buy a 500k house on a 100k salary was left with no choice(area dependent, of course).

Also, the substitutes are more expensive, not less, especially for products like pork.
So brain drain is bad (when it happens to Russia) but good (when the US does it to India)? India is a desperately poor country that needs Indian entrepreneurs. It's ridiculous to frame this as a loss to the US. It is a loss to the world if the desperately poor in India are never lifted out of poverty by their own best and brightest. The US should encourage them to stay in India.

Sure, but I am arguing the strictly technical definition of terms completed by and power transferred between civilian governments.

My own opinion: democracy is hardly a boolean value -- these transfers, faulty and flawed as they may be, did legitimize civilian rule in the public eye.
Credit scores are probably the most useful metric for a person in general. The reason isn't because it's an assessment of creditworthiness, but it saves the time interviewing each person for each loan, asking for quite literally thousands of pages of documentation proving they are creditworthy, etc.

If you recall how these things were done before credit scores it was not pretty. Without them lending would virtually cease to all but the most obviously creditworthy people.

I generally agree the system for credit scores needs to change. In particular it should not be controlled by a veritable monopoly. But this does not discount the utility of it in general.
There's nothing wrong with airbnbs. The problem is that airbnbs increase the demand for housing while local governments make it impossible to build new housing. Let supply follow demand.

This is like saying "uber increased dmeand for cars and that made cars expensive". No, the car companies just built more cars. We need to build more homes.

It's mentioned already, but: Android.

Discounting Android as "Not Linux" enough is a mind boggle to me. Perhaps not "GNU" enough, but certainly the spirit of Linux -- customized for the particular needs, stable, fast, works on a plethora of hardware, etc.
You realize that we are already running trillions of dollars in deficit for the programs we already have in place? The first step, should be to lower the deficit and actually fund the programs we have in place. We cannot just keep printing money without worsening the deficit and worsening the inflation. Yes, consumer sentiment is all hopes and dreams, but monetary policy is not. There are real world implications.

> We have spent decades telling American families that homeownership is the safest investment. We then spent decades enacting policies to ensure this is true. Do we think investors were going to just sit that out and ignore a safe and government protected investment?

So one group wants to maintain a financial investment that was sold to them as a sure-fire way to make money with little work and little risk, and another group wants...shelter. If it truly is the case that the desires of these two groups are butting up against each other and are mutually exclusive, is it really hard to decide which group should get what they want?

That's not such a good result when you're talking about a chip with a 54w TDP (even more peak) vs a ~20w peak TDP for the M2.

4% faster for 2.5x more power isn't a win. The fact that 95% of users care more about that 18% single-threaded performance makes this even worse.
I am well-aware (I live here!) but that is an entirely different claim, and is indeed unfortunately a higher standard Pakistani politics has not yet met.
If they can mutually agree to pursue those agendas through self-determination rather than imperialism, then they can get quite far.

I am reminded of the story of the fat cat that I recently read in a Brothers Grimm collection. In case it is not familiar to you:

A cat and a mouse decide to team up and store up some surplus food for hard times. They agree during abundant times to both put a little extra fat into a shared pot. They then store the pot in a safe place. The cat, however, is overcome by hunger even in the abundant times. Every few weeks the cat sneaks to the pot and takes just a little bit, maybe just a few licks at a time. Over the course of a couple of years of sneaking and small stealing the cat manages to completely deplete the pot. Then hard times hit, as both expected. The cat and the mouse both go to the pot together to divide their savings. But when they lift the lid they both gasp in surprise that the pot is empty. The mouse slowly realizes what must have happened. The cat is guilty but won't stand being accused and so it turns on the mouse and eats it.

My whole life I had heard of the rich upper-classes described as "fat cats" but I didn't really understand the message until I read the story. From at least 2008 we were supposed to be saving for the next crisis. Yet here we are at the next crisis and low and behold the pot is empty.

The reason we fall for this over and over again is that the short-term memory of civilization is shorter than the cycles these things happen over.
We've had really good luck just telling the truth. I'm 2 for 2 on targeted hires (where we found them and landed them) this year. Being radically honest really pays off when it comes to talent.

A bit is driverless.

At Paddington the driver gets off and the train goes into a siding, then comes back on the East bound platform.

Makes sense, either you have a different driver waiting to board the back of the train, or wait for the driver to walk the 250m of train to get to the other end.
There are reasons for that, but they are generally bad ones involving people not wanting to live near other people who look like the author of the article, even if they won't say that part out loud.

Higher density housing is a massive component of building lower carbon footprint cities, as well as making our cities more financially resilient. It's also something that can increase equity a lot by giving people with lower incomes access to nicer areas and schools.

In the US for W2 employees, there are significant costs (money, time, and effort – both upfront and ongoing) that go into hiring an employee in a state where you currently don't have any employees. These costs are most significant to small businesses because larger companies have either dealt with them in the past or have the resources/knowledge/experience to deal with them.

>I get the hate against institutional investors going in and buying up entire neighborhoods. But the sentiment that we should just abolish landlords is rather dumb IMO. There's a massive gap between someone being able to afford $1200 in rent and being able to afford a home with all of the added costs.

As opposed to... being able to afford the rent with the same added costs? Take my area for example: rent in my neighborhood has increased to $2000/month. My mortgage remains at $1500/month (taxes, insurance, HOA included). What added costs amount to $500 extra/month? It's not water, sewage, trash, electricity, or gas! Those costs exist for renters just as much as owners. It's not basic maintenance... that has not cost me anywhere near $6000/year. So what are the added costs that landlords are "saving" renters from?
Because perfect is the enemy of good. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_is_the_enemy_of_good)

And it’s not just that perfection takes longer to achieve; the estimate of how long it will take to reach it will be less reliable than that of multiple smaller steps.

Because of that, I think one can even argue good is the enemy of good enough.

As a simple example, a product is more likely to see the addition of, first, one report, than a second, a third, etc, than the addition of a good report builder.

For the former, each step is relatively simple, and first value will be delivered sooner. For the latter, you’ll have to answer questions about what the full range of to be supported reports would look like.

Even if you, up-front, know you’ll need to support tens of different kinds of report, it may be hard to argue that you need a report builder even if that seems to be the better choice to get to the end result.

If you do end up with a report builder, it likely will be one designed by and written for developers. As an example, look at headers and footers in Excel, where, I think to this day, you have to type && to get a single &: https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/issues/2018/sep/excel-h....
We’re going to inflate that debt away, like all developed nations with a declining fertility rate will do (Japan leads the way for us). Extend and pretend. Again, it’s not real! It’s just numbers in a database.

For those concerned about sovereign debt, that should’ve been thought about before running it up on unnecessary conflicts (which there have been many!) and other unproductive efforts (tax cuts for the wealthy). Real needs coming up, and no excuses because of previously suboptimal governance. Lots of assets and wealth in the US to tax for those who really want the debt line go down, but if debt line doesn’t go down, nbd.
RethinkDB is utterly defunct as a project, has not had a substantive release in years, and in my experience just flat out doesn't work. And let's don't even discuss Mongo. Asking yourself to choose between these is like selecting your favorite brand of thumbtack to step on.
In my experience as a software dev the "ambient information" that has tended to be most valuable was information about how the product was doing financially. I worked in an environment where we all had offices with doors and it was great but the "ambient information" I missed was that the sales of the product weren't going all that great and there were layoffs on the way. In a cube environment I think I would've heard a lot of chatter about layoffs coming weeks to months earlier. In this case I was pretty much blindsided.
They also make choices and compromises people in US don't. Every interaction in India is loaded with suspicion. Dishonesty is the baseline. Disrespect is the norm. Xenophobia is common. Insecurity is the guiding North Star. Entitlement is prevalent. Hard work is looked down. Rules are for fools and loyalty (however earned/enforced) is everything. I love my country, but those are the facts.

The "libc" is more than libc.so. Your system headers, for example, must be shipped with your libc, even though everything that would change if you replace them with something nonsensical would be in "your" binary, not in libc.so. libc functions don't stop coming from the libc if you statically link them.

A C runtime is often provided by the same project as the C standard library (the other viable option is to have it provided by the compiler project).
Has anybody stumbled upon a similar tool that does this in reverse? For example, I want to find a curl option that has a "redirect" word in its description.
