> You can’t go back and relayout every American town and city.

You don't actually need to do this! Its a fantasy that you somehow need to re-design your city to make improvements.

In fact, by simply removing some harmful regulation you can already do 100x better. Removing the function based zoning. Allow mixed use as default. Removing lots of the other regulation such as minimum lot size, offsets and so on.

US city were not designed for cars, and mostly they are simple grids, and that's totally fine.

Changes in pricing for things like water, move to block pricing and increase price depending on how much infrastructure is required.

The tax system should move from property based to land based.

Cars need to be slowed down, lanes need to be made thinner, and add a protected bike lane. This is actually a case where US insane wide streets come in handy, space for bike-lanes is already there.

> Not to mention that many/most Americans don’t want to live in your utopia. I’ve lived in walkable, lively parts of cities. Now I live in a stand-alone house and drive everywhere and I much prefer it.

Even rural and small towns or even villages can be walkable.

And your taxes are likely not covering the infrastructure required for you live-style, you are subsidized by the poorer parts of the city you live in.

Also evidence shows, that areas such as I suggest are getting a huge amount of demand and are really expensive. So I think evidence is clear that there is a huge amount for such development.

And evidence also shows that where they happen they actually make sense for cities in terms of taxation.

I'm not 'pouring my energy into it'. I'm simply commenting on an article. That seems to miss the forest because of the trees.
This is a really arrogant attitude that reeks of the 'pull yourself up by your bootstrap' bullshit.
I'm not really sure why you appear to have been downvoted because your point is fine. I don't entirely disagree with this. If you're in the market for nothing but lemons, and those lemons are essential, you are fairly screwed unless you can get someone else to help you (e.g. family, government).

Tangent: the Dataview plugin for Obsidian makes it possible to query both the data and metadata of your notes using both an SQL variant and JavaScript and render the results in all kinds of ways. Powerful stuff.

One of three things happens in my country:

* A mafioso comes for a chat with the tenant and they move out. This rarely happens.

* The case is presented to court and they'll evict the tenant in about 2 months. This usually happens.

* The tenant has small children and is poor. The owner is fucked as the court won't do anything - the tenants children have a basic human right to a roof over their head. This also rarely happens, but when it does, the damages are huge. My great aunt lost 1-2 years of rent and about 10k in damages due to neglect this way.

Because of this, there are interviews for tenants. Mostly just a chat, but rarely you need to prove you're employed and provide bank statements.

As we get into middle age, our hunger sensations grow more out of alignment with our body's caloric needs. I think the focus of most diet strategies is to find ways of minimizing hunger pains while keeping caloric input at or below maintenance level.

Aside from calorie counting, which is very effective, the most important thing I found for avoiding discomfort is to go short on calories earlier rather than later in the day.

I've read surveys on how French women stay thinner on average and it boils down to having just a coffee and cigarette for breakfast and maybe even lunch. Both caffeine and nicotine suppress hunger. I don't recommend smoking, but I rely a lot on coffee sometimes.
Yes I understand that. But then what are the real world example, because non of the once provided are convincing.

Yeah if I wasn't poor I'd buy a farm to create food for myself. Why pay someone else to make the boots! But a farm costs lots of money, and though I have leather boots, I'm still paying to be poor in other ways. In many many ways.

This doesn't just affect Americans. The article describes an obvious concept to anyone not privileged.
And they need that money. They don't get anything from terrorists they haven't stopped. If there were a single one, we probably would have heard of it.
I understand what you're saying. However, I pretty much learned all there was to learn about them in 15 minutes when I got my first one. I read about them. I'm not the smartest person in the world, by far. If I can easily learn now, then anyone can learn this stuff on their own, in 15 minutes. It is NOT complicated.

Getting information is exceptionally easy, and a LOT easier than when I got my first one. I knew from when I got my first credit card that I had to pay off the balance in full, every month. That using a credit card should be the exact same as using cash. You never buy anything unless you actually have the cash first. Then you can use the credit card and pay it off at the end of the month. It's so easy to understand. It doesn't matter about credit cards companies and their obfuscation. I didn't learn it from credit card companies. I just learned it because it was easy to learn. How difficult is it? Don't use a credit care unless you have the cash first. You pay it off in full and you don't pay interest, whatever level it is - .01% or 40% - it does not matter what the interest rates are, unless you don't pay on time.

And the problem is that people don't care. They think emotionally, and don't give a crap about future ramifications.

This is my favorite video that explains it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3ZJKN_5M44
Markets are forward looking. If a company loses less money next year than it did this year then they see growth. Likewise, if a company loses more money next year than this year... well, that is growth too! Growth at all costs.
Maybe Mozilla should focus on building a better browser for the masses and making money by themselves and not relying on Google's money as they once promised 14 years ago [0], rather than chasing costly distractions and fantasies like this with their already shrinking market share. [1][2][3]

Firefox (really) has nothing to offer, and the chronic decrease in users shows that it is only going down as Edge has already over taken it and Mozilla did that by themselves.

Number stations are far from being disappeared. The current schedule of tracked ones can be seen in [0].

I guess clandestine operations now use expiring dead drops in the form of IP addresses with some protections, but they may be using applications or other hide in plain sight methods like chats rooms in games, etc., which are not unheard of.

Considering governments and intelligence services love to run Tor exit nodes from time to time, they may have their own darknet servers, too.

There's no way to be sure how they operate, and I don't want to dig into that kind of rabbit holes, to be honest.

i don't agree. fine artists will, but the bulk of consumed art is commercial art, it's a job, and most people only work if they get money for it.

I like the soviet model of commissioning people to write e.g. math and science books: the author got a stipend like any office worker, and copyright belonged to the commissioner (the country).

hi HN, I'm Alex, my team and I made D2.

The biggest new thing since last time D2 was here is that we now have a playground for folks to easily check it out without installing: https://play.d2lang.com.

Also just to preface the top discussion points that arise when D2 is shared:

> "What's the difference between this and--"

https://text-to-diagram.com. We made it. The maintainers of Mermaid themselves have contributed to it.

> "The name!"

I like this guy's reply: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33704960

> Is there a proprietary aspect?

Yes, we're a for-profit company. D2 is 100% FOSS, and we make an alternative layout engine which we sell (Jetbrains model, i.e. your copy is your's forever if you've paid for 12+ months). It's a separate install, not packaged with D2, so you won't see it if you don't want it. D2 is perfectly usable without it, and integrates with multiple free open source layout engines (e.g. the one that Mermaid uses, "dagre", is D2's default).
A second brain is a bit on the nose for me.

I use Obsidian to organize my notes about DIY, cooking, and gardening. For example, I store the recipes I found in a single place. It allows me to adjust them (as opposed to browser bookmarks) and write down my observations or experiments. Some concepts can be applied to multiple recipes, so linking them helps. Over time I memorize the concepts, but I struggle with remembering the ratios of ingredients. Having them written down is handy.

I used to have a local instance of MediaWiki a long time ago, but it was clunky. Then I moved to plaintext notes, which I used for many years. Easy to take, but lack of linking made reviewing them hard.

Localized markdown wiki (Obisdian) is a happy middle ground for me.

> I hope this twitter drama distraction doesnt deviate from the free speech focus

I think if there is one thing that is clear from all this then it is that unrestricted free speech and social media are fundamentally at odds with each other, and that the bulk of the people advocating for unrestricted free speech are doing so from malicious intent rather than because they are so concerned about government repression.
DuPont discovered PTFE while exploring for new refrigerants. It was used in the Manhattan Project because it could resist flourine used in the gaseous diffusion of uranium, then marketed as Teflon after WWII.

3M discovered PFOS while developing rubber that wouldn't degrade when exposed to jet fuel, then marketed it as Scotchgard.
What's your diet like though? I found satiety only roughly correlates to calories in. That is to say, some foods I could eat a ton of calories worth and still feel hungry. Other kinds of food would have me feeling full with far fewer calories.
Wow; that looks familiar! I think your memorial is what got me started reading EWDs, all those decades ago. They eventually convinced me that my systems bias had been a giant shoulder-chip, and that theory folk also had something worth exploring. Thanks for having written it.
Only reasonable example is AFFF fire fighting foam. But realistically the amount of liquid fuel fires that you have to fight in this world probably pale in comparison with the production volumes of unnecessary anti-stick cookware and gore-tex fabrics.
I guess you know the answer, and it has been mentioned several times already: search is "bad" from the seller's point of view, they don't want you to buy what you want. Instead they want you to buy what they want to sell, and that is of course easier if they control the presentation of products. Search is an explicit way of trying to give control over what is shown to the user, and that runs counter to the underlying optimization for maximum sales.

At least I guess so, the nearest I have been to any kind of sales optimization pipeline is buying a lot of stuff online. :)

Smaller and niche sites can still do Real Search, but it's the large marketplaces with thousands of everything (where, you know, you really want good search) that usually instead favor their own optimization.

Actually, but perhaps surprisingly, a site like Aliexpress actually kind of explain this in their search help text, which is at least trying to be transparent. I like that, but it still drives me nuts when the search results change when you change to sort by price. That's like ... "impossible" in my mind; changing the presentation order of a list should not change the contents o of the list, but there you are.

Aargh, basically. I wish it could stop.

Applying Standard Capitalist Rules, I guess in the future you'll need to pay a fee to each site for the right to search and sort exactly and disable the optimizations for you. Fun times.

EDIT: Minor grammar fix.
Technology isn't going to advance at a slower rate in the future, which means that even with your "optimistic" take people wont settle on a more healthy usage pattern.

But the whole point is moot anyways. As long as SM is designed to drive engagement by exploiting the most base instincts in us, we will keep seeing unhealthy behaviour.

Energy has a lot of demand elasticity, it just takes a few years for demand to catch up with price changes. See for example how fuel efficiency changed during the oil crisis a few decades ago. Or how building insulation changes with rising energy prices.
It doesn’t even take both agreeing necessarily. In many cases just either one of the EU or the US legislating something is sufficient financial incentive to follow the same rule globally.
Nations with higher % of home ownership don't actually end up being wealthier or have lower rates of poverty.

And if you have a nation where you have lots of apartments buildings, you can actually buy an apartment if you want. And even as a reasonably poor person you might be able to afford mortgage on a cheapish apartment.

And even if you concede this example, housing is a special category and one the largest expanses. The whole 'boots' analogy suggest this is an everyday situation.

Since it's something that already happens and it's a known issue, it's pretty ridiculous a brand new project doesn't have some mechanism in place to prevent it. Something as simple as a signed file at the site's root would let a content creator make paid links to their content but not a scammer.

It's not helped that there's no preview of the content or creator's site branding to give some indication of an intentional connection between the creator and paid link.
Maybe one way to mitigate is to have a separate branch of the political system dedicated to calculating the costs. Then make the methods for calculating as publicly available as possible so that they can be reproduced by non-profits.
