A few years ago I had an infected gallbladder. It was enormously painful, and I went to ER. It might not have been potentially fatal (I'm honestly not sure if you can die from it), but I didn't know that. I just knew I was in a ridiculously amount of pain.

Anyway, so I went to the ER and to begin I did sit in a chair like you said, however I don't think anyone was keeping an eye on the patients, since by the time someone came to look at me, I had been writhing in pain on the floor for an hour or so, and it had taken another patient to call a nurse over.

All and all it took 4 hours before I got to see a doctor, but this was pre-pandemic.

Still, I think you're probably right and people do show up to A and E for non-urgent issues, however it's probably also tied to how difficult it is to see a GP these days.
LA for example is built into the 90% range of its zoned capacity today of 4.3 million people with a population of just under 4 million by official counts (higher in actually no doubt). Meanwhile, in the 1960s when homes in LA were actually affordable, the population was 2.5 million, with a zoned capacity of 10 million. That means if we want to make LA as affordable as it was in the 1960s, then we should zone the city for at least 16 million people, instead of 4.3 million people as it is zoned today.

For it to be visible at BGP level I suppose they must be used publicly? But that aside, as a a bad practice, surely you can basically use any IP that you're not supposed to, as long as you don't care that it stops the real one being reachable? I.e. 'reserved for future use' can be considered 'private use if you must, for now, may change without notice'?
I agree

I wonder what the point of piece like this is for. To dissuade people from migrating to Texas?
Just make your projects very expensive for them to run at scale, like building them on top of AWS and several other cloud services. If you ever get out of the company the know-how will be yours and then you can create an optimized version.

It's a national security concern (and international?) if Twitter can be compromised by nefarious actors and/or brought down via said compromised access.

Heh, I guess. My last two phones had the jack at the top, so it's instinctively where I put it. I do like being able to rest it on a surface while holding it vertically with an audio cable connected. But charging it at the same time from the other end is a little weird. I guess in an ideal world I'd put both ports at the top, but I don't think that's what you were going for :)

> politicians are accountable to voters

And then what happens to minority interests?

How about we have a national vote on what phone you get? Which car you get? Whether carrots or tomatoes get produced? What movies get produced? What clothes are produced? Which diseases get funding? What apartment you get? How many ounces of meat you get per week? What music you get to listen to?

Every alternative for team-building is a trade-off; TANSTAAFL. "Welcoming" is arbitrary; board games disadvantage people without 20/20 vision, and for people who find them boring, or dislike games based on chance. Food doesn't always work, picnics and BBQs are fraught with issues. I can cite problems with every single example you can come up with.

"depending on alcohol for team building sounds like the worst idea ever."

I assume that this was intended as hyperbole, but your argument would be much more persuasive if you fairly described the idea you're opposed to, along with its benefits, then describe why your solution, while having its own issues, is superior. Capitalization wouldn't hurt either.

Republican lawmakers by and large represent corporate business interests and the wealthy. They use social issues as their drumbeat to rally their base who won't benefit from these handouts to the wealthy. Many people don't understand economics but are happy to vote along social issues. Single issue voting is common for such issues.
Sure, but sometimes the bad guys move within minutes, and missiles are terribly expensive. I'm thinking more on a tactical level, like a swarm of super long range, relatively cheap on-demand precision hand grenades that the soldiers wouldn't have to carry, could strike targets at a distance in seconds due to locality, and could fly around corners and through windows if necessary. And the unused drones can potentially be retrieved when the engagement is complete.

Of course if the enemy has technological countermeasures to such a thing then it becomes a different issue, but you can say that about any technology.

> My guess is that they will remove all ports by then and completely switch to MagSafe

I've heard this repeated a lot and just don't get it. It doesn't make any sense to me from a product perspective- removing the port doesn't seem to get them anything. It's already pretty waterproof, it's already pretty slim (and I don't think the port is the limiting factor there anyway). I just don't get the upside. One could argue that they'll sell a _lot_ of magsafe accessories, but pucks don't don't provide the same flexibility as cords and they must know that.

Anyway, I've got a $100 bet with a friend going (placed Nov 2020): I think _a_ port will stay, and he thinks it'll be portless by the 2023. We'll see who's right!
Doesn't that assume that those local producers are only using local resources? It's very hard to be insulated well in this day and age. Livestock feed price is up. Fertilizer price is up. Equipment shipping costs are up, when they aren't hard to come by. (I can provide sources, but I just googled price of those over time and found charts supporting it easily enough).

Its very hard to be really insulated from higher fuel costs, even if it's produced locally. You still need to ship it to a refinery, and then ship it back out to gas stations. Unless you run a farm where you get all your inputs locally and they are also trying to use only local inputs, you're going to see these price increases. Many of the economic inputs people use for production, whether that be food or built items, have gone up, and often there's only so much they can do to insulate from that.

Android has something called GSIs (Generic System Images) that will run on any device that supports Android 9 and above. They don't always support custom hardware, but this isn't really any different from pure Linux. Instead of building a mobile ecosystem from scratch, why not build a community around submitting drivers to a build based on GSI?
Okay, good point. But these brackets are also a bit misleading, since in the ITEP data they are relative to each state.

The lowest bracket in the ITEP data for California tops out at $23k, but it's only ~$20k for Texas. Meanwhile, the middle bracket in California tops out at $62k, while Texas it's only $58k. So again, the sales tax could be the exact same in both states, but it would show up as larger percentage of budget because people in Texas are poorer on average.

It does basically work this way. The change in actual dollar amount of taxes levied on you depends on:
1) change in the value of your home relative to average change in value in the taxing area, and
2) how much the taxing entity chooses to raise (or lower hahaha who am I kidding) the overall amount of taxes levied. Annual increase is limited to 8% without an election by voters to approve it.

(This ignores the effect of new development, the revenue from which isn’t counted towards the 8% cap.)

In other words, if your home value change is the same as average home value change, your taxes will go up 8% if the taxing entity elects the full 8% increase.

In addition to the point of this thread (overall tax incidence of the wealthy), surely you can see the difference in reduced taxation of property being used for timber and Michael Dell avoiding $1M/year in property tax by claiming his massive estate in the suburbs of Austin is an agricultural property because they 'maintain a deer herd'? Or companies claiming parts of their campus are "agricultural" based on a few head of cattle who are brought in to graze it? Why on earth should the rest of Texans subsidize Dell or HP's campus?

California has its own screwed up property tax policy - all of Prop 13 should be immediately repealed - but it's different in impact and abuse potential than Texas's ag. nonsense.
Is it possible the NHS took on lots of 'bad deals' in the 2000's, and is now having to repay them? Things like a "Get this cheap building, but now you're locked into paying inflated rent and service charges on it every year for the next 50 years"
Anecdotal, but I have twice in the last year heard from the same friend of 2 instances where the waiting time for an ambulance was around an hour.

The first was when he observed an accident where a car hit a guy on a scooter. The guy was hurt, but not in a life threatened manner.

The other was a guy in a bar who probably overdosed on something and his heart stopped. If someone hadn't been around who knew CPR, he would have been dead.

Both instances was in London.
I mean your "data" will be particularly skewed towards one end of the argument seeing as you deal with people with millions and are literally incentivized to note it as a bigger problem than it is.

I struggled to make the change. I think I tried half a dozen times to go from (neo)vim to Emacs and it never stuck. My problem was that I kept reaching for spacemacs and Doom Emacs, etc., right out of the gate, and I would be mystified by Emacs itself and Emacs Lisp as a result.

Two things helped get me into Emacs full-time (and this is after > 15 years of using vim):

1. I went step-by-step through Susam's Emfy Emacs config [0]. That helped me understand some of the basics at a foundational level. I extended that base configuration a little bit and became comfortable with the environment.

2. I then went step-by-step through the entire "Emacs from Scratch" playlist that System Crafters put out [1]. I pushed my personal configuration pretty far with that over the course of 2-3 months.

I eventually moved to Doom Emacs and married in pieces of my own configuration. That's been my daily driver for months now.

I've been thinking, we really just need lots and lots and lots of IP addresses, far more than we realise right now. ipv8? Should probably be ipv32 or some such.

An example ; when we start throwing smart nano on the grass, to see how each blade of grass is doing on your lawn. Well, each nano is going to need an IP address, and so will all in the neighbourhood. And that's just the grass.

What about when some scientist wants to track sand dispersal patterns, on a beach, after a hurricane? And wants to have each grain of sand tagged with its own nano hitchhiker? Just think of the IP addresses we'll need then!

And even medicine. What if we want to interally tag each cell in our bodies with nano? What if we want to bioengineer our body, so that each cell has its own IP address? And can report health/condition?

No, we need more, more more IP addresses! So many more.
I'm a bit surprised at how many of my friends have jumped ship to Visual Studio Code, including those who are very much for free software.

Sure, but if you're going to compare taxes you have to compare the effect of Prop 13 on property valuations, as that's basically a tax but with the revenues going to existing property owners rather than the state.

> but my experience living in TX is it is definitely not a low-tax state

Dunno, I'd take property taxes (i.e. taxes on consumption of real estate) over income taxes. Particularly since income taxes are progressive whereas property taxes are a flat percentage. Even if I paid $2k/month in additional property taxes, the difference in income taxes would still make TX cheaper.
That’s true. But you’re also $400,000 wealthier. So you got that going for you. Which is nice.
