The excess of safety workers is partly a system to give older people something to do, but is also a cultural hangover from the 60s when Japan had an enormous rate of pedestrian deaths from cars, much worse than the US ever had. (Not sure how that happened, just that it did.)
Then what is stopping the market from working? If housing is so profitable, then why isn't it popping up housing at a higher rate? If anything is stopping this then it should be deemed anti-competitive mechanisms and deemed illegal. For capitalism to work anti-competitive behaviours need to be regulated.

Just like racism can be systematic, anti-competitism can also be systematic and illegal.

I recall once, when I was still green in the field, while at university having read one of his articles and having been surprised at the way it was written even if I couldn't digest the technical content... Now that I've stumbled upon his articles, 8 years later, does anyone know if he has an archive of all his articles somewhere? I suspect I might be in for a very nice journey...
Yandex might be the most popular search engine in Russia, but also they're by far the most popular logistics company for private people here. They do deliveries (food, groceries, other goods), taxis, moving vans and so on - all strongly Yandex branded. If you walk around the streets of Russia's big cities, their brand is absolutely omnipresent (and also in some former Soviet countries, like Armenia).

Eating into their business would require much more than source code, but of course an analysis of the code could lead to finding more security issues.

> potentially a boon for open-source development?

That'd be an absolute copyright/licensing nightmare, just because the code was stolen and published doesn't mean it is now "open-source".

> So if you live in 4 countries over four decades in your adult life you will learn 4 new languages?

If those 4 countries have 4 different languages then yes…

I’ve spent most of my adult life in foreign countries, and I’ve never spent time in a country without starting to pick up the language. I speak 3 languages fluently, another 2 I can have a conversation in, and there’s a few more that I have a decent foundation of the basics with. I don’t even know how it’s possible to live in a country where everybody speaks another language without starting to pick it up rather quickly.

Unless… you’re intentionally refusing to or simply do not spend any time with the locals, which is something people should rightfully be judgemental about.

Sure, I agree. Let's start popularizing other terms, but I think the relevance of the term Open Source will see a substantial decrease then, because I don't think people now largely use the word to mean what it meant decades ago. I think the popularity the term has now is for reasons entirely different, reasons like community building and some reasons of morality, and I think the term can either evolve to fit the industry's current norms or be reduced.

I would assert/guess/think that there are more developers who have started in the last 10-15 years who use the term for its colloquial meaning than there were developers in the entirety of the field in the preceding 50 years. Just from a numbers perspective, if I'm right, the colloquialism is going to win out.
Because it is open source. It's not Free Open Source Software (FOSS) as deemed by some foundation or another. There is a lot of great open source software not included in Linux because of licensing issues (e.g. BSD clashing with GPL).
Source available has generally meant you can have the source if you meet some criteria (have a license), but the license prevents you from redistributing it. I haven't dug into this license but it seems less restrictive than the AGPL.

Losing your job on a HSP visa means you need to find a new job in 3 months. For a regular work visa, there's no such requirement; you have until the visa expires, whenever that is (which could be less than 3 months, or much more). The regular work visa is also not tied to an employer (HSP is though).

It's not nearly as bad as the US. And yes, from what I've heard, renewal is pretty much guaranteed unless you badly fuck up somehow.

Not really. If you value your own work, have things you have chosen not to give away and therefore wouldn’t want someone else to steal them, then it makes logical sense to consider the value of other people’s work and not feel comfortable about using a stolen version.

Not everyone has to share a political point of view, so while some people are anarchists and are happy to just have a giant free-for all others believe in the concept of ownership. That isn’t a lack of curiosity or a professional buttoned-up money-chasing approach.

Degrowth is completely false and is basically cope invented by the British to explain why it's actually good that their economy is so bad.

Economic growth does not mean using more resources (because that's expensive), it means more productive use of the same resources. The US emits less carbon and uses less water than it did in the 60s with a much larger economy.

(70s US degrowth environmentalism, like Limits to Growth, Cities as Growth Engines, The Population Bomb is the main cause of the US housing crisis due to NIMBYism, but also caused China to doom itself via the one-child policy, so the US wins yet again.)
Good point. But I wonder how much of the American wealth is gotten by raised property value which would also be considered “productive”.

Half of my personal wealth comes from owning an apartment.

Slums are unfortunately the shitty alternative to having no home at all, when you live in a world where no one gives a fuck about the poor.

It's a symptom of the Great Stagnation. There's a clear crisis with multiple plausible solutions, yet somehow all of humanity has made ~zero progress (on the geoengineering front) for decades. Never mind that the world's wealthier and more democratic than ever; or that information has never been more accessible to anyone who looks for it; or that technology and engineering are at their highest point in the history of civilization. We're paradoxically become less effectual than the era of the Manhattan Projects and Marshall Plans. We don't solve problems.

It's honestly hard for me to sometimes wire my brain to think of total cost of ownership as taking into account the fact that durable goods can really maintain their value. I feel like I've been so conditioned to either hoard things, or worse, just think that they have no resale value from having been purchased once, and that's simply not true.

When you remember that there are decent ways to resell things, and that plenty of classes of hobbyist goods and professional tools maintain their value extremely well, it really changes the entire equation.

It's taking the next step in line with what all digital cameras already do. They all do post-processing and make approximations to what the eye actually sees. Just because upscaling technology is still in its infancy and it's not entirely foolproof yet, is not an indication that it won't become seamless and undetectable in the future.

I agree that such features should be optional and all processing should be clearly marked, but to dismiss the technology altogether is a mistake.

So you are saying the implementation of the Typescript language are a subset of all JavaScript implementations? I guess that is true in a certain sense. But this does not contradict the fact that TypeScript as a language is a superset of JavaScript - rather it follows logically.

(Although in reality the Typescript implementation is a preprocessor, intended to use together with a regular JavaScript engine.)
Wow, if true, this is outrageous!
No, some universities were sponsoring these back in the day. You could really order 2 chips with 6 square millimeters in total. Economically not viable at all, but good enough for final thesis. And the university also provided design tools making things easier.
In many Lisps (+ + +) means this: call the function named + on the two values from the variables named +. The function is then a function object and the values of + can be anything they are currently set to.

Thus + serves more than one purpose: function or variable and both may be different values.

Thus the position actually matters.

What we have below the Lisp syntax are s-expressions: nested lists of symbols and other objects. In s-expressions, symbols need to be separated by whitespace, parentheses or possibly by some special character type (-> terminating character). Characters like +, -, /, *, _, ... are valid characters for any symbols.

Thus Lisp does not require functions to be separated by characters but symbols. That's a part of the reader mechanism for reading s-expressions (-> symbolic expression).
The economic chart is national? I swear it's been that way 'on the coasts' my entire adult life...
Have you lived in country with completely different language with characters instead of simple <30 letters alphabet for 10+ years? It's very different for English speaker to learn Spanish or German and learn Chinese or Japanese, characters are VERY big barrier when learning, since even when Japanese learns German they just need to learn like 30 letters and they can read and write anything, while vice versa German must learn 500-1000 (Chinese) characters one by one at very least to be able to read some Chinese.

It's one thing to see everywhere words you can memorize when seeing it every single day in shops and online and very different thing when you see just bunch of strokes.

I lived in China for 5+ years and didn't learn the language because the characters are huge barrier. In a few weeks with Duolingo I learned more Spanish without ever visiting Spain than Chinese in few years living there. Same while travelling in Indonesia (where you are/were forced to learn Indonesian), I picked up comparable amount of phrases within few weeks as in China in few years. Of course I learned some basic Chinese characters at very beginning, so I can read at least menu in restaurants and bunch of phrases (how much does it cost, where is nnn,etc.), but I couldn't have any conversation at all with anyone not speaking English (or my mother tongues) and honestly I was not really interested in people who don't learn at least English as I had to learn as well since it's not my mother tongue. It probably helps I've found girlfriend (wife) who can be my translator if needed (which was not really needed even when dealing with paperwork most of the time).

But if author is journalist then I agree there should be set a higher bar for them, so they are able to research independently and make interviews with locals. It's one thing to be journalist covering the country and other thing just living your life working in English speaking enviroment without writing stories for thousands of people abroad.
The vast majority of e-mail that I get which claims to have an unsubscribe process is actually spam. If you try to unsubscribe from it, all you've done is proven that your e-mail address is live and monitored, and so you now get your address resold to 100x more spammers.

So, I wouldn't recommend doing that sort of process unless you can be 100% certain that the message isn't actually spam, and you can properly unsubscribe from it.

Startups being accepted in Japan is a very recent US-influenced phenomenon. In an earlier wave they were called "venture companies" and were completely distrusted - you were not considered proper members of society.

Similarly they have "indie games" in Japan now, even though they always had that (doujin games), but now they're more respectable.

(Of course, if you're doing a bitcoin startup you shouldn't be considered a proper member of society, more like a phone scammer.)
Opensky Network
I reached out to a few people over a couple of months while testing the scanner, including a couple of third party service/repair shops. There are also dedicated user groups around these scanners that are all happy to help and give tips. They were extremely helpful but the conclusion was indeed that the Firewire port or main board is on the way out.

It is possible to fix it, and the third party service/repair shops do have the parts and expertise (some of them are former Hasselblad service employees). The problem is the cost. To quote: "The problem is when the FireWire port dies the only repair that is ever proven to be effective has been to replace the entire main board. I currently have sufficient parts to replace this should you wish. The price to completely refurbish the scanner and replace the main board is 2800+ VAT "

So 5,000 Euro for the scanner then 3,500 Euro for the service/repair. That's a little bit more than I'm willing to drop on this project, especially given the other factors - it might need repair/service again in 12months time, the discontinued software and needing old OS/computers to run it.
Why are there fewer voters who would vote for denser housing for themselves while inflicting some pain on NIMBYs, than the NIMBY voters?

I suspect two things. One is that NIMBYs are often more well-off and can inflict more pain on the politician who would oppose them than would be the gain from the pro-density crowd support. Another, sadder, is that enough of those who complain about housing not being affordable would like to become NIMBYs themselves, but can't yet afford that.
If housing is an unattractive financial asset, how are investors motivated to create housing?

Without owners there needs to be either easy credit or state funded housing. However, without a free market there needs to be a way to prevent abuse.

Housing has to remain attractive but there is no need to artificially inflate housing value by limiting supply. With enough supply, rent should go down to production costs plus reasonable profits. Real estate is a secure investment so interest rates on government bonds should be the upper bound for those reasonable profits.
When NZ adopted MMP (proportional system similar to Germany's) both the major parties (National & Labour) campaigned against it on the "better the devil you know" basis, which the electorate see through. The first MMP election was mildly rubbish, with a populist kingmaker gaining disproportionate leverage, but since then the electorate has been shrewder and in a subsequent referendum MMP remained the preferred system.

people hoard houses. This is why you have landlords, this is why the value of a property is significantly improved if there's a house on it, if you can rent it to people.

I like the idea of a different incentive structure: no taxes on the sale of a newly built housing, high property taxes on houses with an exemption for primary residence, and leave the existing property tax structure for business and fallow properties alone. This way you encourage new housing being built, encourage ownership and not renting out housing as a business or sitting on houses to flip them.
I would never voluntarily use my vehicle to charge the grid.

I might use my vehicle to power my house, if the grid is down. But there I would prefer to have batteries inside the house that are used for that purpose, and backed up by a generator.

The power that I would have in the vehicle is my last resort of getting out of the house, if things have gotten bad enough that the household batteries are drained and the generator is down.
Both the major parties do it to their advantages. Doesn't really matter what it's "thought of", the reality is that they're both equally guilty.
>So if you live in 4 countries over four decades in your adult life you will learn 4 new languages?

Well, first I would argue that you're a massive outlier to the norm. I don't think living in multiple countries for decades at a time each that don't share a language is at all common.

>This is the most common take you hear from people that never lived abroad, only speak one language, or lived abroad in a single place where they learn their first ever new language. Then judge someone who'd be learning their 4th or 5th. It's absolutely not the same thing for a native english speaker to learn one single foreign language when they move once and compare it under the same light.

I don't really see the need for the presumption. If you move around that much and speak that many languages, all the more power to you. I was just saying generally if you live somewhere for a decade you should (probably) be reasonably competent in the language, especially if you're a journalist attempting to write insightful articles aimed at broadening a foreign understanding of the place.
