It's not nothing, but if the goal is to turn a profit it's nowhere close. On the other hand, if the goal is to get more people riding public transit, I'd want to look into how removing fees might help that goal.
Isn't working smart somewhat implied?

Tossing a five gallon jug on your shoulder and running up and down a flight of stairs for hours is REALLY hard work. And yet you don't see people take this on as a job and then complain about it.

So instead someone goes out and gets an entry-level position. The options are limited, because they have no skills. The problem now is they never invest in building skills, so they are stuck in shit-tier jobs forever.

I want to have some empathy for this. But if I go to a convenience store and somehow it takes the cashier 10 minutes to checkout 3 people, that empathy becomes hard to find.

At the end of the day, every person getting a paycheck needs to produce more value to the business than they get paid. The only other way is to tax people who DO actually contribute and spread the money around. There are some serious concerns of fairness about that.
I was about to reply to you before reading your last sentence. I'd say that is very much the case. In fact, I tried pop! out of curiosity, and found that I liked it less than arch + gnome. At least overall, there was a little mix of pros and cons.
Isn't this a poor business move from OpenAI? I mean, if they make possible to distinguish (100% in the future) between AI-written text and human-written text... then a big chunk of potential OpenAI's customers will not use ChatGPT and similars because "they are gonna be caught" (e.g., students, writers, social media writers, etc.)

In the US it is an arrestable offense for your kids to go play in the park on their own, so I pretty much see it as a waste to fund children's playgrounds. Average parent is worked to death just keeping the household afloat with no time to have to accompany their kid the whole time. Rather have a private one where the police at least need a warrant to enter the secured curtilage.

Have you watched at least 15min of the linked documentary? I am asking because I actually chose my language deliberately. I might be ignorant about extremely atrocious evils that happened on a large scale over the last 22 years, but at least to my knowledge and my subjective feeling, the systemic animal torture that is inflicted unto many millions of intelligent beings every day as shown in the documentary Dominion is the worst.

But I don't need people to share my opinion, you are right in that this is an important topic for me. What I just would like to happen is that people realize that eating animal products is evil enough to change their diet.

Nothing you're saying is wrong, but it doesn't change the fact that the land is an order of magnitude more valuable than the building (I'm speaking broadly and for residential real estate).

We still have more lumber than land. In a very hand-wavy way we have more labor than land. The limiting factor is always what drives the price.
Sure we can. We just think that can also look like this: https://youtu.be/5APjiZz_XCY

The sideloading dialogs are a bit extreme, I agree. But in general I don't see what's wrong with guiding users towards the "happy path" for package management. It's an opinionated system so it might not be everyone's thing but if it makes sense, sure, why not.

Regarding pricing, even if we say they're basically charging money for it, why is that bad? You get the thing under a free license which is still better than commercial proprietary software that doesn't share any of its revenue. And because they allow you to choose how much you pay you can always pay them less and donate to the Linux Foundation yourself (or any of the other underlying software projects that are taking donations). Granted, folks who are new to the Linux universe won't know about this stuff, so a default split would help.
I can just second most of those comments here.

Just to add my experience of getting paxlovid. I tested positive for covid about 6 months ago and having a few children and lots of work to do, I wanted to get a jump on treating it. I know too many people that lingered with flu like symptoms for 2 weeks. (Not to mention a few that died and a few that had serious lung damage from COVID, but most were older and/or in poorer health than me.)

Urgent care and most doctors don't seem to want to treat COVID. Urgent care told me to stay away. My own GP office wouldn't see me because I "hadn't been in for a visit in the last 12 months". Obviously, because COVID restrictions made regular visits difficult over the last few years. (I have since dropped that gp.)

I ended up having to go to the hospital for treatment.

I called ahead and they passed me along to several nurses that all said that most COVID patients were being treated with the monoclonal IV treatments and you have to sit there for hours while they administer it.

So I went prepared with a printout from the NIH and CDC both stating that the recommended course of treatment at this time is paxlovid with one of the monoclonals as a backup option. I also called my local pharmacy and confirmed that they had Paxlovid in stock.

They did testing and ended up doing an EKG because my heart rate was a little fast. Probably due to my 103F fever. And even though I kept mentioning to the nurses that I just wanted a paxlovid treatment, they kept telling me that "well, we have mostly been doing monoclonal treatment for COVID, but you can talk to the doctor." And they continue prepping me for the IV treatments. Once I finally got to speak to the doctor, I told her that I wanted paxlovid, she agreed that would be good but that availability was scarce. I explained that I had already confirmed availability and she happily wrote me the RX and I was on my way (after about 2-3 hours including wait time).

I had a little bit of upset stomach and metallic taste in my mouth for a few days, but symptoms subsided by the end of day 2 taking the medicine (of course, who know if it was the pax). It likely helped that I started taking the medicine on day two of symptoms.

I think doctors and especially hospitals get in a rhythm of treatment and it's hard to change. Especially when things are changing fast. Also, I'm sure the hospital makes a lot more money if you sit there for 2 hours on an IV than if they just give you an RX and send you on. In my opinion, the whole thing should have been dealt with via a phoned in RX by any doctor after confirming that I had a few positive at home tests.

Is the price point per calorie the same? How about storage/transportation? When I could go pick fresh organic strawberries in the field I loved them. Where I am now strawberries are expensive (slightly) flavored expensive cardboard. Bananas are the same both places. They seem like a pretty efficient source, consumed and available world wide with a much longer shelf life. Traveling overseas dried banana chips were one of the cheapest snack foods available everywhere to everyone. Dried strawberries not so much.

Having worked with Rails folk for many years, they do have some weird strong opinions, this being one. The argument that comments shouldn't be made because they'll "become stale" is pretty lame IMO. It's either not a big deal or the end of the fucking world for some reason lol. Maintaining code is just... work. You just do it. That includes comments.
When you are young you think you can become anything. You dream big and have tremendous reserves of creativity, and importantly, time to draw from. As you get older you begin to realize that you aren't special, you'll never get to be what you want, and more-or-less from birth you've be pre-ordained into a set of paths in your life and you can only choose one. Some people manage to break this in small ways, for example being the first to go to university and get a STEM degree. Though, it just opens a few more paths. You're still a cog. By the time you're 35 over half your useful life is gone, and the most important formative periods are long in the past. You're now a derelict ship flying through space solely on inertia waiting to slam into whatever is your final resting place.

Once I realized this I lost almost all of my passion for anything. I don't program outside work, I am by-and-large a luddite when viewed externally. I absolutely hate new technology and learning about it. It took over a decade of industry work grinding me to the bone and destroying my passion to do this. I wouldn't be so cynical, except that because I work 8-10 hours a day I don't even have much time pursue a replacement passion. I exist to serve. In this light "depression" is really a survival mechanism. If you start having hope of becoming something better after you leave school you'll just watch it be dashed right in front of you by some tech-moron you're working for. Or worse, the non-technical person turned "programmer".

This is not a problem in cities in Asia. It was not a problem before the '60s. It is still not a problem in the dense downtowns of a few small American cities that have avoided the modern homelessness crisis. It is a specifically recent American major city phenomenon that nobody wants to accept as the norm.

Bought an old Cambridge AM station for cheap.. runs at low power to keep the costs low.

Check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WJIB (740 AM)

For years they had no commercials, but took donations (but they were never non-profit).
The operational requirements are a bit stringent, though—there are certain staffing and compliance requirements for the studio and transmitter facilities.

And even low-power AM transmission stations need an annoying amount of physical plant maintenance—cutting grass, trimming overgrowth, fixing all the random annoying issues that crop up when maintaining any kind of equipment at a remote site (theft, rodents, water ingress, cooling, power, comms, etc.).

Technically you are correct about his word choice. But I think you missed the point.
Technically not most of California, since population is focused into a few urban areas and otherwise you have vast amounts of nothing if you actually see the state.

Houston is a huge urban/semi-urban sprawl, the kind that used to be popular in LA a few decades ago. Dallas is similar, Austin gets that way outside of its downtown, San Antonio does also but at least has a much more interesting urban core. It always seemed you get what you pay for in Houston, there isn’t anything wrong with that, but many people don’t want it.

San Francisco's housing element is a sham, but their NIMBY-pandering supervisors have successfully kicked the can down 4 years. By then, the city will have gone sufficiently down Detroit's path of urban decay that there won't be any developers left willing to build there.

> What is making people want to restrict their neighborhood to extremely low density suburbs? The answers are very uncomfortable.

That’s just urbanists smearing people with innuendo about racism to advance unrelated policy goals. It’s actually ironic, because one of the major population trends right now is “black flight” to the suburbs.

People, especially families, like low density suburban zoning because it’s convenient. I live in a pre-zoning code suburb with houses packed tightly together. People are always fighting over parking spots, contractor trucks can block people into their parking spots or block the road, etc. There’s a lot of retired people, and they complain about families with young kids moving in due to the noise. (And these are white and white adjacent kids too.) My parents refused to move into the subdivision, and instead moved nearby to a 1 acre plot surrounded by trees where they didn’t have to interact with their neighbors.

Ok why are you explicitly stating that? Was what I wrote unclear?

This occurs at "higher" levels of government as well.

> Absolutely I include the suburbs I grew up in. The rich keep the middle out, and the middle keep the poor out. Not that hard to fathom.

I just wanted to make it was very explicit that we're talking about the "rich" and middle class and that together they are oppressing the poor because you only mentioned "the wealthy".

I think this is a common refrain but no line-level worker is losing their livelihood because they were part of the 25% of the company whose machine just stopped working.

That's a very fun example. However I'm a native English speaker, and I can't imagine actually writing a sentence like that. It's technically grammatically correct, but no one speaks like this. You would say "She must have been watched", alternatively "She had been watched".
Personally, I feel mildly embarrassed when reading my essays from years prior. And I probably still count as a 'young person'.

That said, there's no need to consider changes in years when stylistic choices can change from one day to another depending on one's mood, recent thoughts, relationship with the teacher, etc.

That's why I've always been a little confused about how some (philologists?) treat certain ancient texts as not being written by some authors due to the text's style, as if ancient people could not significantly deviate from their usual style.
> For example All day events can have a notification at 9:00AM and that's it.

That's a bizarre limitation that they should fix, but I don't think it implies anything about how iPhones work in standby. Alarms, timers, reminders, push notifications, etc. seem to work fine in standby (although I'm sure standby battery life is affected by how often those are happening).
I don't think it's an either/or situation if we sit down and really think about it. If those employed in fields that are ostensibly rent-seeking were to do something that wasn't a net negative on the economy, maybe we'd be able to share the burden a little more fairly.

There are a couple of factors I think in the way of adopting the solution I've outlined -

* It's incredibly authoritarian, ripe for abuse (as the commitment to mental hospitals was), and requires an evolution in legal thinking about what civil commitment can be used for.

* It offends a wide swath of people in an ideological way. No one really want to believe that some people cannot help themselves improve enough to exist in wider society (liberals assume everyone unless profoundly disabled can if given proper support, conservatives just assume people need to tug harder on those bootstraps). Similarly everyone on some level I've talked to about it is offended by the authoritarian nature of - it bothers people of all stripes once they think about it a little (including myself as a liberal with a general libertarian lean). Conservatives also object to spending money on such a venture (why should those people who contribute nothing to society eat better than I do?) for pretty obvious and consistent reasons.

* No one knows how to fund it, you need to either create new sources of revenue or deallocate money from someplace else, now, yes perhaps you could reduce funding allocated to policing - but there are existing stakeholders who will fight ardently to prevent it.

* Finally, there are existing stakeholders (the homeless industrial complex, as I glibly descried them) who want the status quo to persist for various reasons (for many organizations it is raison d'être - either for religious reasons, or more basal ones - money, they have workforces who are paid, and are a consumer of taxpayer grants).

I agree broadly with you, that the current illness is worse than the cure, but the cure isn't without its own side effects.

For what it's worth the example that I use of some people not being able to improve themselves is the Vanderbilt family, One of Cornelius Vanderbilt's great grandchildren was born into poverty. No matter what advantages afforded, some people will fail to thrive. (See https://www.amazon.com/Fortunes-Children-Fall-House-Vanderbi... for more information)

I agree with you, everyone is very busy arguing about either the PH of the water, the color of the water spout or if you should spray the base of the fire, or the top of the fire, and the fire rages further consuming people in its path and we never quite get around to putting the fire out.

There are a whole host of issues in society that are like this - where the optimal solution will never get significant political support behind it without the problem being perceived by voters as much worse than it is perceived now.

Some of these are:

* End of Life Care (from old age, chronic illness, etc)

* Cigarette Regulations (There are a ton of stakeholders who want to preserve the status quo of regressive taxes with general availability, when lower taxes with a gradually increasing age of purchase would be better for society)

* Overemphasis on safety in automobiles and other things (I did a cost benefit analysis on backup cameras, and it came out to something like 15,000 dollar per life saved, and most of these added burdens end up on the poor)
