The state can give out rent vouchers and loosen restrictions on building if they want affordable housing

This is literally what the state is doing. They're loosening restrictions if you build affordable housing. They're not loosening restrictions across the board as the default would be to just build housing without any regard to affordability.
Why are people using a streaming service instead of buying thousands of dollars worth of CDs (or for that matter, iTunes)? Is this a question?
Trump and NFTs are both such well-trodden flamebait that it's hard to imagine one , but maybe it's possible to get a -1 x -1 = +1 effect. It's not intrinsically offtopic, just probably so.
West doesn't lose anything? I don't even know where to begin.

Just a few things:
1. Europe have a problem with resources and Ukraine has extremely rich and complementary mineral resources in high concentrations and close proximity to each other. The country has abundant reserves of coal, iron ore, natural gas, manganese, salt, oil, graphite, sulfur, kaolin, titanium, nickel, magnesium, timber, and mercury.

2. Europe geopolitics – when Ukraine lose, will Putin focus just move on to Moldova and then Serbia and Georgia. And as citizen of small European country I'm afraid that he will soon get copycats because we are back to allowing to redefining borders.
No one is going to believe you originally meant that. I'm sorry. You are so bad for the health of the people around you and a poor discussion partner. :(
Because separation of the record from the record keeper means the system will be endowed with new attributes such as accuracy, verification. distribution, longevity etc that result in a more robust and valuable system.

Imagine you run a fast food franchise with 10 restaurants, each keeping their inventories in a local database, how do you coordinate global restocking? Manual reconciliation across each database. Ok move to the cloud. Now you have a global picture where state is adjusting in closer to real time and reconciliation is an inherent property of they system rather than a process implementation operationally. Well as I have described elsewhere in this thread. A lot of financial transactions are managed in an equivalent process of local databases with manual reconciliation.

I am oversimplifying because there are a number of road blocks that prevent a solution like “implementing a cloud database” and also conflating what happens within a company (using the franchise analogy) rather than a market (where every single franchise had a common inventory and ordering system not tied to a third party supplier). By my point is that a block chain ledger would solve many of these problems without users even being fully aware of the problem in the first place.

Hope you don't do anything creative or interesting that could be misinterpreted as your not playing to win. Hope you don't go off meta too much. There is no chance they could create a system that will account for player creativity without punishing particularly creative players for it.
It's less than great and largely a mixed bag. I'm honestly surprised that desalinization and hydrogen research never made the jump as it seems more sustainable. Also, somewhat concerned that the electricity generated for most EVs is mostly coming from fossil fuels as well (natural gas in the US which burns cleaner, but lower efficiency to electricity).

I think it will take a combination of things. I think the geopolitical controls over Lithium supply are probably more concerning, as is the availability of resources in and of themselves, which won't meet demand and will drive up costs.

I'm also concerned about the sheer number of products being shipped in small batches everywhere all day, at least in the US... I see an Amazon/UPS/USPS driver on my small street alone many times a day. It just feels very inefficient and wonder if this is just worse than taking a couple steps back away from convenience.
Bodycams are effective, though the USSC doctrine of qualified immunity needs to be revisited.
I don’t know about Russia, but I think if China decided to restrict capital from leaving their country, they would definitely crack down on crypto since escaping capital controls is crypto’s primary use case and China knows that.

You might ask “what does such a crackdown look like?” And the answer is, they would simply round up and throw in jail prominent crypto people, make it a crime to do anything with crypto (buy, sell, use as currency etc.) and put the fear of god in everyone else so that nobody dares touch crypto.
Is there an API to programmatically retrieve secrets or is it CLI only?

Constructively, when people are out of reach of regulation or seeing consequences for their clearly unethical actions, how do you suggest solving that problem, particularly without an angry mob?

How do you propose bringing corrupt politicans or billionaires to the bargaining table? What would they be bargaining for, if not peace?

Do you think violence is always wrong? When is violence justified?

If the state is to have the only morally justified use of violence, what can be done when a state uses violence to oppress, enslave, or promote only the interests of the wealthy class?
Sure, one can write a thesis in MS Word. It has come a long way with support for large documents. But I still find its referencing clumsy, opaque and unstable.

For example, automatic updates of figure numbers in captions and references: Countless times it failed on me and I had to manually recreate the fields, bookmarks, cross-references, and whatnot is needed.

Bibliographies are hardly doable without an external tool that comes with its own headaches.

Typography in MS word is quite decent these days, though. Anyway, the content of a PhD thesis shouldn't be judged by its typography (as long it maintains a readable standard).
Difference is in first mover advantage. If you can be the first to use it to bring value to yourself and your clients, you can easily make up the cost of that hardware.
With schools though you often need to learn things along the way that can easily be cheated with an AI, but the end goal not so much.

For example, writing a basic screenplay can be done with ChatGPT, but it can’t write one that will likely be turned into a movie/show.

And automation will continue to make some jobs obsolete and create new ones. For example in youth sports we don’t get great coverage of youth/school events. I’m hopeful in the not too distant future we can get game summaries and stats for all games — and editors will probably be needed to add commentary. That’s something I’d love to see.
The thing is, if you hire 20 Java devs, at least one of them will already be an advanced Maven user. Same for Python and poetry/pipenv, Javascript/npm, etc.

Funnily enough Breaking Bad benefitted from Netflix quite a bit

How about splitting the content and the platform?

Like you know... how your local store was allowed to sell you VHSs of the Terminator and you didn't have to pay subscription to Warner Bros store (which only existed in swamps of Florida) to get it? And how you could then give it to another person without restriction or tax to the said corporate lord?

Monopolization and integration of multiple markets into single corporate entities always hurts the consumers. Maybe it's time for US government to pull thumbs out of their bums and take out their cartel breaking hammers?
>Hate to say it but I don’t think the DoJ is gonna act on this, especially not while they’re currently investigating Trump for other malfeasance.

This is one of the areas the DoJ has already been investigating, and which has been included in the Special Counsel’s mandate, to wit, “the ongoing investigation into whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with efforts to interfere with the lawful transfer ofpower following the 2020 presidential election or the certification ofthe Electoral College vote held on or about January 6, 2021.” [0]

> This committee is pretty partisan - 7 D, 2 R.

This committee is “pretty partisan” because the Republican Party chose to boycott the committee over the rejection of certain members (largely because they were expected to be subjects of the investigation.)

> You’d be setting off a real firestorm to indict top political leadership (not just Trump but McCarthy & Jordan as well) based on this report.

Indicting top political leadership will set off a firestorm in any case; the only thing worse is sending the message that political sensitivity of such indictments means that top political leadership are free to ignore the law (in fact, one can argue that one of the key reasons for a series of post-Watergate executive abuses culminating in Jan. 6 is exactly that message stemming from Ford’s pardon of Nixon, and the failure to prosecute top officials, though some underlings were prosecuted, in each of the series of subsequent abuses.)

It’s never too late. If you don’t want to go to a therapist..

For starters..based on your self evaluation, I would suggest:

1. Wake up at 4.00-4.30 AM.
2. Go for a walk within short distance of your neighborhood.
3. Start journaling…2-3 pages by hand. Write after you return home from your morning walk.

Do this for at least 6 weeks.
Yeah, why should we do any planning or zoning at all! Every individual is equipped with all the knowledge and expertise to make good planning decisions that impact their neighborhoods! /s

Speaking as an American, I'd say "yes". At least for the citizens who were adults at the time and were aware.

I'm suspicious of any moral framework that's hand-tuned to paint some persons as upright.

I think we just shy away from the fact that we are in fact culpable, so we look for rationalizations.
This policy is good, and this isn't even an edge case. This is a landlord who is about to spend a million dollars on more rental units and doesn't want to provide affordable units.
The question is: on one hand, any sane adult should be able to make whatever decision they want regarding their own health and property (some text in small font goes here).

On the other hand no sane adult will refuse medical insurance: it's an outright suicidal behavior, unless you have a seven-digit sum in your account.

So...?
Sometimes that might be true, but let's say you have the option to talk to two people about a problem. Person 1 is your friend that you've known all your life. They haven't gone to school for this and have plenty of problems of their own, half of which you know about, the other half, you're a part of, so they're biased and on their side, and not your side. Person 2 is a licensed therapist, has a literal master degree in the subject of dealing with people and their shit, has passed an ethics exam, and supervised experience program, and is on your side and won't judge you for your decisions. Who do you think would be able to help more?

They are not cheap after you factor in costs for installation, the framework, land, etc. Increased efficiency means you also need less of all those.
> How does scaling laws of the fediverse differ to scaling laws of email? Hadn’t the success of email already shown that it’s possible to scale decentralized protocols?

It's only kinda decentralized now. Email massively re-centralized around gmail and a few other providers.
If you want to visit crazy-land, check out Dolphin's UberShaders; the gamecube had a mostly fixed function but super configurable graphics pipeline that can't really be translated well to modern hardware, and this caused lots of stutters and annoyances, so eventually some mad lad decided to write a GPU shader that just simulated the entire pipeline flow, no more translation or anything. Won't work on your laptop very well, but if you have an 8 year old dedicated GPU or newer, fixes the problem outright.

A similar thing was actually done in n64 world for RSP emulation, another proto-gpu device with it's own highly configurable microcode. First it was emulated in CPU with AngryLion, and someone else I think made it all run in compute shaders on the GPU, meaning you can FINALLY play nearly every n64 game accurately rendered, upscaled rendering if you want, and no slowdowns or bugs or glitches from more rare techniques, like the spy gadget in perfect dark.
> Why would adding a middleman make anything better?

Because market competition is what makes capitalism a liveable social order for most people. Adding market competition makes everything better. Command economies (corporate or socialist) don't.
A lot of things. Whether they are good or bad things is another question.

For now, Twitter scales better. There's no such thing as an instance, a slow instance, or registration simply being closed.

Twitter preserves content. Yes, I know it's currently debatable, but in general it does. On Mastodon, any instance can go the way of the dodo, and this regularly happens. Further, it's standard policy to wipe out all media attached to your toots. I think this point is a big deal. Your content simply isn't safe on Mastodon.

Mastodon has poor on-boarding. You need to pick an instance which a normie doesn't understand. Further, it has no (good) algorithms for recommended content, followers, finding people you already know. You have to bolt and stitch things together. This too is a massive issue in the age of Tiktok, where even the effort of lifting a finger is too much. I think organically building up your feed is actually great, but you have to understand that the HN audience is not the same as the masses.

Mastodon has no consistent moderation. Yes, you could argue neither has Twitter, but it's still consistent-enough compared to Mastodon, where you're at the helm of whichever volunteer runs the instance. Not necessarily an issue for middle-of-the-road conversations, but still a difference.

Lastly, and this is perhaps the most twisted point: Mastodon isn't designed for drama. Twitter is hyper optimized for it. It's quite the culture shock for some.
Anime is part of the national heritage. I guess it is sort of like how Americans put the Stars and Stripes everywhere unnecessarily.

“What’s the point of wandering side streets?”

Because exploration is fun? Especially in Japan, though sure, Seoul (and HK, and a few dozen cities in Europe, and …) is also interesting to wander.
Agreed. However, if Mastodon instances hosted attached media/images over IPFS, in theory it would lead to a significant decrease in bandwidth that those instances need to transfer themselves, as that media could be distributed p2p between users who have loaded it already.

Thankfully, there already is work being done to implement this kind of functionality, giving instances the option to serve images over IPFS gateways. Further decentralizing Mastodon needs to be a very high priority for it to be sustainable longer term.

Adults know that making sensible collective agreements where necessary is not the same thing as government. Governments never limit themselves to that. Certainly the US government doesn't--even though that's exactly what it's supposed to do under the Constitution.

Also, allowing people to suffer bad consequences from their own choices does not mean being indifferent. It just means refusing to adopt a "cure" that is worse than the disease.

Adults also know that collective agreements to provide the means to help those who are in trouble through no fault of their own are called "charity", and are best done by private institutions made up of people who genuinely want to help others (and there are plenty of those in the US just as there are everywhere), not government departments staffed by bureaucrats.
I've never been to a therapist but enjoyment is the opposite of what I imagine I need?
Obviously a very very gross generalization (might get called out on it too :P) - But I think the low hanging fruit for modern software is optimizing data layouts for fast processing.

Optimizing code requires a lot of work, and requires skills that people usually learn from experience - therefore a rare and expensive skillset. Data-Oriented Design can be taught, and requires (IMO of course) a far less technical skillset.
King County taxes land value as part of our property taxes. If Seattle up-zoned this property, that component of the owner's taxes would increase to reflect the value of its new highest and best use.
I'm not so sure - entire revolutions have been had about this, and extensive documents written, for centuries[1]. Not everyone is a negative utilitarian.

I value living a society where cooperation is (maximally) voluntary. Involuntary cooperation is indistinguishable from a degree of slavery.

Elixir doesn't have the same problem of everyone building their own framework each time they build an application, though. Almost every web project uses Phoenix and inherits a whole series of tools and practices that less experienced devs would never think of until it is too late. Every database project uses Ecto with its well-typed schemas and changeset validations etc. Clojure has equivalent things but you have to not only find them, but first find the need for them.

You could buy a lidar based robot vacuum instead of visible-light camera. The only benefit I know of that visible-light provides is so-called "poop detection" and avoidance, but that's somewhat unreliable anyway.

Lidar, in theory, could create a photo-like image, but that resolution costs money and none of these robot vacuums are anywhere near that. Plus they map depth, not texture, so anything it does create is somewhat abstract.
