We talked about this in my friend group. The issue is you have to optimize multiple distances: work, spouse's work, kids school, parents, friends, etc.

Most people seem to optimize living near their parents or adult children, which probably also makes them happier: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/12/24/upshot/24up-f...
> Do you find yourself not having much in common with your neighbors, not liking them, etc

Many of my neighbors are older and have lived in the homes since they were built. Mostly they just gripe that I don't behave the same way as the last guy.

Others are parents around my age who I don't have much common ground with because their kids are their whole lives basically, and I don't have kids and don't want them.

I think there's more to friendship than just proximity.
To not feel isolated friendship is something that will have to be done in meatspace. Take up a hobby or interest shared by others and participate in events or outings together. It will give you something in common to talk about and take the edge off striking up a conversation. Just becoming a regular at a busy coffee shop is a step in the right direction.

When you search something, it typically takes a few tries and scanning through a few results to find what you're looking for.

How often do you search something and nail it on the first try?
I think that's being appealed and in that case all the IJ was asking for was for people who had their stuff seized to have their names removed from some government database. Basically anyone who asked for their money ended up getting it back.

> It went on to return everything in about 180 of those boxes after failing to produce evidence to support the allegations, court documents show. Those box holders retrieved more than $27 million. Attorneys for other customers say they recovered close to $25 million more through private negotiations with the U.S. attorney’s office.

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-23/fbi-beve...

That's $52 million and that's just from the attorneys they talked to - I think another LA Times article mentioned that around 5% of boxholders didn't even claim anything. They seized a few million from Poliak the owner but they had him talking about being a professional criminal for hours and hours. Still messed up but maybe if another judge sees it goes another way.
Not a technical cofounder, but I have read too many weeping in the /newest page:

It’s definitely harder after a certain age. Friends come ready made when you’re in school or college and to an extent when you’re young and in your first jobs.

The idea of safe spaces implies that the existence of unsafe spaces. If you’ll excuse me pontificating for a moment, it might be useful to try to reframe this outlook; if you wait to feel safe before taking chances with people you’ll miss out on many potential interactions and relationships.

OP here's a couple examples of large scale static analysis diagrams.

[1] is a TypeScript database with ~250K LoC. A fairly advanced product that would benefit from what you're building. The colors represent different architectural layers. Each node is a folder with files in it. Edges represent inbound/outbound dependencies. There's simply no way for it to be labelled effectively.

[2] is the same codebase, but instead of inter-module dependencies, it's showing function/method calls.

One takeaway after working in this space for a while was that visualizing spatial relationships of anything sufficiently complex is extremely hard on a monitor. These representations benefit tremendously from being interactive.

Sure, that’s a defensible argument on the merits against the colloquial usage of the word city as applied to some of these places but you’re running up against the fact that the term “city” has been eroded to near meaninglessness in North America.

New England has counties and townships and cities, California and Texas only have counties and cities. Even a place that calls itself a town is still a city as far as their laws go, so advocating your position is going to run up against practical issues with people about why you’re saying their city isn’t a city.

We already have terms for this, and it’s called the suburbs.
This definitely works on my T14, I think it’s two fingers though.
How about illegal emigrants getting free medical care, while Americans cannot afford? Everything is relative, I'd rather see more high skilled, law abiding immigrants. It's better for the country in general, and especially these days, when IT is a battleground.
Well it's great that America tested that out so the rest of the world can see how miserable it is. Europe paid attention. Verdict is still out on China and India.

I'd expect bloatware to be unnecessary software. To a user who is not familiar with google's offering, the bloat doesn't exist, they don't see two different softwares. Samsung phones don't have two messaging apps, gallery, or phone app

Not including google's version doesn't equate to bloat. In fact, the opposite is true.
I’m moderately certain I’m also uncool.

To give some context for other parts of the country (TN): Gas is $2.92 and electricity is ~$0.11/kWh.

10,000 miles / 32mpg * $2.92/gal = $912.50 in fuel and 10,000 miles / 3.12mi/kwh * $0.11/kwh = $353.00 in electricity
> IMHO something about 10,000 sqft yards and deep setbacks destroys any hope for communities.

It certainly does not intrinsically do so; this was absolutely not my experience growing up in suburbia, and I don't appear to be alone in that. I'm glad you've had a better experience in Seattle proper, though; perhaps there is just some sort of urban/suburban culturual inversion at play!
It'd be easier if I had local friends, honestly! I made a lot of friends in the last 10 years, and over time, they've all moved away from where I live to other places. My best friends are 500, 1700 and 2000 miles away, respectively, and if I want to see them, someone has to book a flight. So I just Zoom and have to be satisfied with that.

Otherwise, I'll echo the others around here who talked about the suspicion of others that gets in the way. I live in an area where if I go to a coffee shop at any given time, the chances of seeing someone I know -- other than the barista, of course -- is fractionally small, much less running into someone enough times to form a genuine friendship. It's hectic.
Not everyone has so many friends in a cluster and close is relative
Nuclear power plants have to be next to a large body of water because they tend to overheat if something goes wrong. If they do overheat, they have to suck in large volumes of water very quickly to cool themselves down in order to avoid a runaway reaction.

This of course adds another danger to nuclear plants -- flooding. Because the plant is next to a large body of water, there is always danger of the water going up and flooding the pumps, which usually break down and fail to pump water. Then ironically the plant will overheat for lack of cooling while being flooded. This is what happened to Fukushima.

This is what would have happened in Missouri just several months after Fukushima, but we got lucky then -- the plant flooded and the pumps failed but by pure luck the plant was shut off for refueling when the flood happened. [1] Most people do not realize how close the USA was to having its own Fukushima.

Anyways the point of this rant is that there really isn't much room for compromise. Nuclear power is just not safe, and it is really stupid in the presence of ever more affordable renewables.

These realities are not mutually exclusive.
Having something (but not everything) in common is the root of most friendships. The common thing can be club membership, location, interest in weed, some hobby, or almost anything. Without something to connect over it’s hard to get past small talk.
Excellent points in your post. You wrote:

There's an incredible amount of non-text data out there still. Especially technical data.

"Especially technical data." What does this part mean? Initially, I thought you meant things like images and video, but now I am confused.

Exactly.

Employees aren't necessarily interchangeable.

This is a progress. ;) If I'm not mistaken biggest LLaMA used 2000 GPUs for 21 day.
I always get pushback for this but I think the idea that adults 'hang out with friends' is a meme from sitcoms. I think people grew up absorbing sitcom premises as representing life. I look at my parents and grandparents they don't have many friends - there's one or two people they see once or twice a year. That's normal. Having 3-5 people who you catch up with regularly through the week and hang out like teenagers, is a premise for a comedy with dynamics. It's not real life after 30.
I heard a very similar story about Kent Beck's father. We also interviewed a couple superstar candidates at my company that somehow never progressed through.

I'm just about 45 now, though I'm still able to pass as in my 30's for a while still. But I'm trying to plan for a future where I'm boxed out of doing a job I'm very good at.

This seems like an easy competitive advantage and hiring edge, not sure why some haven't really taken it on.
Japan doesn't make sense though, they have an amazing urban environment, yet still seem to have problems with social isolation.
There's a good reason we got rid of that regulation. With limited geographical dispersion, local bank runs could be really damaging.

But yes, too big to fail is an issue, but small and easy to fail is another.

Goldman Sachs, the bank Apple uses to provide banking products, does not offer consumer banking services outside the US. Banking is a very regulated industry, so does not translate well across borders. This is why having (say) a TD Bank account in Canada does not mean that you can transparently withdraw from it from a TD Bank US branch; you have to have a separate US account, and transfer the funds between.

Apple will only offer its card (and now savings account) outside the US if and when it can find a partner that is willing to do what it has persuaded Goldman Sachs to provide in the US, the high interest rate we're discussing being one example, and it thinks doing so will be worthwhile in terms of addressable market and potential profit. This means that a) most countries will never get Apple financial products, and b) it's quite possible that Apple Card will never be available outside the US, not even in fellow high-income countries with comparable iPhone adoption rates.
They’re virtue signaling about gender disparities but really that name signals elitism more than any gender.
We already have that (or similar) with other visas like O-1 or the EB-1 green card.
One aspect of this which I find myself often think about is that it takes some deliberation with whom you want to spend your time when you get older if you're not living the usual family life.

I'm in my thirties now and sometimes it feels like there's plenty of time to figure this out. But most of my closest friends are somewhat older than me. Almost none of them have started a family in the traditional sense. Most of the people they were friends with drifted of in their own little family worlds over time. Another good chunk of former friends pursued professional/academic careers which led them to move quite some distances.

And I can really understand their fear that the younger people they befriended (like me) will do the same (which I and my long-term partner are ruling out but they heard a lot of people saying that before doing it anyway).

I find it comforting that we talk about this from time to time and try to reassure each other that there will be a shared future as we get all older together.And I sometimes think this wouldn't happen if we were all the same age. It kind of helps getting the perspective of older friends which have lost track of a whole lot of people during their lifes. At my current age I can feel the impacts getting closer. It's oftentimes a really short way from "friends for life" to "acquaintances from the past".

And I wouldn't mind at all if the roomate analogy of the author would be literally that shared future:

> It’s not dissimilar to a big house with lots of roommates, or even a college dorm — it’s just that the living areas are separated by a few blocks instead of a few feet.
I don't understand why those can't be mastodon:// URLs. That way we can configure our devices or browsers to take us to our app or home instance to subscribe. The same way Matrix does it with element:// links.
And this is why it's a fool's errand to try to apply simplistic rules to a complex universe. Your model will never be complete enough to make a 100% accurate decision until the model is the size of the universe.

And thus your stubbornness leads to this kind of nonsense.
These articles are probably important to really drive the point home, but I also have a bit of a sense that they are akin to saying "the face eating leopard is eating people's faces".

Idk as I approach ten years without windows, the decline has been obvious for a long time. But I suppose when you try to stick with it and use the system there is a part of the brain that really tries to look past this stuff, and then one day you look at what it is with clear eyes and find yourself so disgusted you have to write about it.

Anyway, Ubuntu isn't perfect, and actually does do a teeny bit of advertising to you, but it isn't anything like this. Give it a shot if you haven't. I used to have to really wrangle with it to get stuff to work, but some combination of I finally learned how to deal with it and also it got better means I don't have to do that anymore.
Sprawl exists because it’s nice. People really like having a 3,000 square foot detached single family home with a 2 car garage. Especially when all of their friends have one. The only way everyone gets that, by definition, is sprawl.

Of course, the drawbacks to personal health and well-being and societal stability are immense. But it’s really nice, too. Like, sitting in a massive basement with three TV’s while the grill is going is nice. Not bringing groceries in from the rain is nice. Having a fenced back yard for a dog is nice. Having guest space and individual rooms for both kids and a walk-in closet is nice.

As advocates for better cities, we need to spend a lot more time helping people see the possibilities of thoughtful urban living. A lot of people simply can’t imagine what it would be like to “give up” the luxuries of their sprawl in order to get more proximity to, well, friends.
I do not realize that, and I question your sources.
I just looked back at this thread and realized I never responded.

The reason why I say you are assuming bad faith is that you continually cherrypicked items to assert that I'm legitimizing extremists that I oppose. And therefore disregard anything that I have to say about strategies to reduce extremism.

To the contrary not only do you continue to assert that I'm "legitimizing" them, you dismiss my concerns as "boogeymen". Which is one of many ways that your complaining that I've been rude and presumptive and pejorative to you looks to me like the pot calling the kettle black.

Now to the facts. You agree with the fact that there was an infrastructure created across multiple organizations to fight misinformation. But here are key points that I think you are not considering.

First, those organizations overwhelmingly lean left. For example look at https://www.vox.com/2015/9/29/9411117/silicon-valley-politic.... They do not fit perfectly within the Democratic party, but they generally have an overwhelming preference for Democrats over Republicans.

Second, the infrastructure created to fight misinformation WAS a method of censorship. Whether it is reducing reach (eg by shadowbanning), blocking links, or deplatforming people, all of the available tools are tools of censorship. Just intended for a good purpose.

Third, its actions were not politically neutral. Obviously, if mostly left-wing people censor mostly right wing misinformation, this puts a thumb on the ideological scale. Likewise most of the mistakes will show the same bias. We more easily notice what is wrong with what we politically oppose than what we politically support.

Fourth, not all involved acted in good faith. This is clearly seen in the Twitter Files. Political activists on the left and right immediately recognized that there was a useful tool to manipulate here. Given existing ideological biases, political activists on the left were more successful in doing so. The whole Hamilton 68 debacle demonstrates how easily a left-wing disinformation narrative was able to get widely reported and had tremendous influence despite the fact that Twitter internally knew it to be disinformation.

And now we get to the most important point to me. Media like the NY Times like to think of themselves as a neutral arbiter of truth. By their own actions, they aren't. And to the extent that they have an obvious and demonstrable bias, they SHOULD be distrusted by those that they are biased against.

It is true that the main alternatives are objectively less trustworthy. But NOBODY can be trusted here. And that is a problem.

> "Researchers also find that when we develop groups, our friendships are more sustainable than they are with individuals. Because there's multiple touch points now, right? Someone else in the group could reach out to all of us, and then we all keep in touch."

This is the most important tip in the article, in my experience.

When I lived in SF, most of my friend hangs were 1-on-1 catchups over coffee or lunch. Scheduling and comparing calendars would sometimes feel like an impersonal chore. Meeting so many people individually was time consuming, repetitive, hard to schedule, and yet somehow infrequent -- it felt like the main reason to hang was to catch up on what's new, so you needed to wait a month or two to let new things pile up.

Then I moved to Seattle. I decided to switch to only really attending (or inviting people to) hangouts that included multiple people. Basically, my new policy was to try to hang out with multiple simultaneously whenever possible. And it worked wonders! My friends met all my other friends, and things played out exactly as described by the article -- some of them hit it off, became friends with each other, and started initiating invites and events without me.

In addition, hangouts are just more fun with more people. There's more to talk about, more excitement, more fun. And it's easier to schedule, too, since you can see more people in a smaller number of hangs. The value of the hangs goes up, too. There's more reason for people to say "yes" because they're getting to catch up with multiple people, not just one person.
Damn. move. Friendly place do exists.
