For me it's more of a pareto thing. 90% of the time, the Harbor Freight tool is gonna do the job. Even if I end up needing to buy a more expensive tool 10% of the time, I'm still coming out ahead. YMMV depending on how often you need to use various tools or if you're buying jack stands (or anything else where failure could lead to death/injury)
It's as you think it is, the main benefit is that it's like a notebook that you can zoom in/out of as you wish.

Some of my more visually-inclined friends use a similar program called Miro to keep track of their projects. At the conception stage they collect links to similar projects, scribble notes and draw sketches to create a moodboard. As the design takes form, they create some subsections in the canvas dedicated to certain details of the project and collect related notes there. Images or links of the work-in-progress are also pasted to track progress and to point out what needs to be changed. Each stage and each part of the project gets its own space with its own notes and when you zoom out you get a nice overview of the whole thing.

Miro can also be used collaboratively, so with groups you can also add in a Gantt chart and whatnot to organize.

My friends were in search of offline alternatives to Miro, so I think there is a group of people who will find this new feature very useful.

The bargain bin is fine, you just need to know what you're buying, and most people have no idea. For the engineering types here, you just need to remember one thing -- complexity scales fast. A bargain bin cast single piece wrench has no moving parts and only one failure point, the accuracy of that cast. If the price is low, its probably worth grabbing.

The bargain bin table saw on the other hand has multiple dimensions of accuracy, many joints that have to line up, many engineered materials with various degrees of quality (polycarbonate? ABS? cast aluminum?) along multiple interference angles. Not a good idea to throw that $129 special in your cart.

Remember that accuracy isn't cheap. Quality tool steel, dies, machining, QA -- it all costs money and is reflected in that price you're paying. Adjustable wrenches as show in the article are notorious for this problem. Backlash is one of those things that your average consumer doesn't think about. The engineer can do some quick thinking when shopping, "can I really manufacture XYZ part at scale and sell it (at retail!) for $1.00 and expect any degree of accuracy in that worm gear, on which this part relies on entirely for its usefulness?"

I've been learning spanish, and since hitting the intermediate stage outside of talking I mainly watch spanish shows or dubbed shows (Star trek TNG). I can create flash cards of difficult to understand phrases, or new words in seconds.

I usually still edit them slightly depending on my purpose for the flashcard, but having > 2000 cards right now, I can't imagine what doing this by hand, or manual review would have cost me.

Businesses which sell to the public should provide accommodation for the public. Bad actors should be handled by the legal system. When their sentence expires they should be allowed to re-enter the public spaces they previously disrupted. A private "legal system" administered by global conglomerates is totalitarianism by another form.
> That's a really good case for any competent lawyer and I'm pretty sure their legal team is not very happy right now.

I'm surprised that the policy of banning litigating lawyers ever passed their legal department to begin with. It's just inviting a guaranteed headache without providing any additional legal advantage.
Exactly. It did used to be pretty finicky, but yeah I think it was 2015ish that those issues were fixed.

This article was an interesting (and quick) read. Thanks for posting it.

FTA: Few regulators have been quite as ardent as King Philip IV of France.
... He owed money to the Templars, and they refused to forgive his debts.
... the last grandmaster of the Templars, Jacques de Molay, was brought to the centre of Paris and publicly burned to death.

Which is a novel way to default on your loan, close your account, and start doing business with Florentine Franzesi bankers.

The royal treasure was transferred from the Paris Temple to the Louvre around this time.

In other words -- he seized the Templars assets.

It's against this backdrop that the wikipedia page on Philip IV of France achieves renewed vitality and is worth perusing.

The first paragraph is all you need. Instances of consumerism that are a problem can be dampened through tax or other means, but it's a moot point because environmental encroachment scales with demand. If demand is stagnant (because the population is, and has already been lifted out of poverty enough to demand things), then there's no question of sustainability for basically anything, except certain finite resources. No one's going to care about the impact of travel if there 3-4 billion people instead of 8 billion.

An employer’s market changes the dynamic, which can be to your benefit if you’re a top engineer. I expect that companies can lay off the bottom 10% and then turn around and hire the top 5% in the market who will replace the laid off 10%.

Kind of risky to join a new company though because if they do layoffs, recent hires or more likely to get the axe.

In terms of morality (as opposed to current law), I would argue #1 and #2 should be legally permitted, while #3 is inconsistent and #4 should not be permitted.

Basically, as an individual regarding your private property you have total control to discriminate freely. That's individual freedom. You're allowed to choose your own guests. (Note that if you're renting a room though, that becomes a business, so this no longer applies.)

Regarding #3, as a business owner, it's necessary to create policies to be able to ban individuals based on their relevant reasons that is set as policy, which includes past demonstrated misbehavior (e.g. violence). But not because you "dislike" them. Feelings don't matter, only relevant (non-arbitrary) policies do.

Similarly for #4, again feelings don't matter. No, a business should not be able to discriminate against people who work for or own competitors. (You can ban taking photos however, since that applies to everyone.)

Basically this is all predicated on a slippery-slope argument -- as soon as you allow bans for arbitrary "dislikes" rather than "relevant reasons", you're opening it up to racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. That's the immoral part. People's desire for equal accomodation from a business strongly outweighs a business owner's "dislikes", especially as a business owner is often the exclusive one providing a certain good in a certain area.

And so this case, I would strongly argue that banning employees of a law firm which is suing you from purchasing entertainment tickets is immoral. It's ultimately no different from a Democrat-owned business banning Republicans. It's nothing more than a "dislike".

I still hear a lot of conversations that assume current trends are temporary, that we'll return to an era of free money soon, and we can finally stop worrying about this silly "profit" nonsense to focus again on growth which is much more fun.

The male gaze is a representation of male attraction towards women in art. In my original post, I clearly state there ARE representations of female "gaze"/attraction of men, such as various female shows like The Sex Lives of College Girls.

You're performing a strawman or being overly pedantic and dishonest, when my original post clearly states female gaze/attraction of men in the context of art, a TV show.

Whether you like it or not, the gaze is in the context of film and not just static art.

Messaging and managing perceptions is important for politicians (it's almost the entire job -- legislators should have aids that research and draft bills, and some of America's best presidents were known for delegating well, then practicing their golf swing for 4 years).

By not signing, if this bill ends up being a shit-show, then during her next campaign, she can say she didn't support it, but didn't want to block popular opinion.

If she does a last second veto, then her popularity will take a hit, but whoever forces the veto will continue to support her next election.

I have no idea which of the two paths will be taken, or what back room negotiations are at play. On the veto path, she might be tightening the proverbial thumb screws in exchange for campaign donations, or she might be executing according to the schedule of some high-paid corporate PR firm. It's even possible she thinks right-to-repair will be a shit-show for the state, and will veto it for that reason.

If she wants to continue to be governor, then it's crucial that we never know which of the above is true. See also: The dictator's handbook.
This really depends on the workflow.

Sometimes I still sneak in minor changes after I opened a PR. Sometimes I open PR early because CI has integration/e2e tests that are hard to run locally. Sometimes I want feedback on certain parts early on and PR is the easiest way to show something.

There can be workflows in which pushing through CI works fine, but as a general advice it's not great because there are many edge cases.

You are right, except that you also have to account for the "cost of money". Meaning from your principle being "tied up". So you essentially need to account for that as well. For example, if my capital investment is $60000 (and the bank's is $240000 - remember this house was bought at a favorable time), that $60000 tied up is costing me $200-$400 (4%-8%) per month.

PITI: Principle+Interest+Taxes+Insurance. Out of which, ITI is straight up cost. P+I is a constant through the life of the loan. At the beginning P is very small in relation to I and increases over time.

So for the first 5 years or so, P is so small that it essentially is a wash with your cost of lending yourself the money. After that, I think you can take some small credit for principle repayment. Adding maintenance and assuming 5-10% vacancy, it's normal to have rents be 120%-130% of the equivalent PITI when things are stable - I don't think that's just a local issue - that's healthy.

This covers how much rents must be to be not a loss for the landlord. But if you comparing rents to purchase, you also have the same small effect happening for the purchasers potential mortgage too.

People have noted the tax benefits of deducting your interest and local taxs (I+T), but that may have diminished a little due to much higher standard deductions since 2017.

I have not noticed people pointing out that another benefit is that any "investment" growth, unearned equity increase when your house appreciates, is tax free on your primary residence. That can be substantial.

While it's true that mortgages have a debt-to-income ratio limit (it's not income to loan ratio), so do landlords, except the very worst slumlords who don't care.

Why would people pay a 20-50% premium to rent? Good and bad reasons:

- short term, no commitment, might move, etc.

- bad time to buy right now

- bad credit

- can't get together the sizeable down payment

- scared

- underestimate the financial benefits

Several of those reasons are rational even to pay a premium. But of lot if it is irrational. TFA didn't adequately address any of the "good" reasons not to buy a house and mangled the rest.

It depends on your workflow. I use git to sync my obsidian vault. There's plugins to automate this, but doing it manually isn't that bad either. I use mobile mostly to read notes, and occasionally I'll write down a short line or two which I can sync over and edit and organize on desktop.

I'm going off on a tangent, but while we have you markdown geeks here: does anyone have any experience editing it with Vim? Do you recommend any plugins or similar?

The only real problem I have with markdown is that if I have editor soft-wraps, Vim doesn't work that well (I can't properly navigate soft-wrap lines, because there is a mismatch between what I see and what the editor understands as a line). If I do hard-wraps (new-lines), then the doc loses copy-paste portability to something like Docs.

Anyone know how to solve this?
Until you use a cheap tool on your expensive bike, the allowance on the tool is poor and strips a screw, which can only be custom ordered direct from the manufacturer with a 2 month lead time, leaving your half-fixed bike completely useless.

This happened to me when bleeding my hydraulic brakes - the screw was a 2.5mm Allen and my keys were slightly smaller than 2.5 from being rounded over a short period of time. That rounded the screw, and my choice was to leave my brakes without fluid.. or drill out the screw!

What does the Bar have to say about being a customer of a business you're suing. Wouldn't this be more of a concern for the law firm than the venue?

But I can see how this has a chilling effect if you can lose access to goods and services because you're taking legal action against the company. Reminds me of the story I heard, though I forget the details (or even if it was true), about someone retaining numerous law firms which made it nearly impossible to find a lawyer who could sue them without it being a conflict-of-interest.
> As a Dutch resident, I have never understood why so many (mostly American) tourists visit The Netherlands just to use drugs in Amsterdam

If it was legal in their home country we wouldn't have drug tourism. Amsterdam would be just any other European city. It's the allure of being able to consume cannabis in a cafe that is simply irresistible, and a privilege.

As a non-Netherlands resident, I think the city takes it for granted that cannabis is legal-but-regulated and we shouldn't be so judgemental of tourists who otherwise have to obtain cannabis from the sometimes murky criminal underworld, and risk getting arrested or being sold low-quality weed, or worse: risk getting contaminated weed laced with synthetic opioids.
