> There's no evidence of a dose/effect at this type of interaction.

That's pretty self-evidently false, isn't it? I don't see how you could possibly say that, given the OP article.

There's a pretty awful trend among certain people to claim that there is "no evidence" of something, when what they mean is that the evidence isn't strong enough to be convincing, or hasn't been corroborated by a peer-reviewed, double-blind, reproducible study.

But saying that direct statements reflecting the observations of people experiencing the phenomenon are "no[t] evidence" is both intellectually dishonest and an awful waste of credibility.
> you couldn’t pay me to wear an Apple Watch all day

That's your preference, but it's clear that lots of people not just willingly, but enthusiastically do this; makes this an odd example. Likewise Siri/Alexa I guess - I would never use them but some people do dozens of times a day and love it.
Good news! One of the Google Summer of Code projects for Guix is indeed adding something similar to the USE flags (called Parametrized Packages)[0]

I don’t think this is what you’re saying, but just to be super clear for anyone else coming through - Pixelmator is extremely _not_ a scam. Their products really are top notch.
It's not really "remove cars" problem tho. Cars are fine and are needed, you can't move anything big with tram or bike easily. It's make other forms of transport more viable for day to day stuff

You still need vans and trucks delivering stuff to people and businesses. Bus is far more flexible form of transport than tram. Just... if you need to wait ages for one and there is no stop nearby nobody will want to wait.
The best part about introducing your friends to each other is that then they can hang out with each other without you having to do anything at all! I definitely have some close friends I expect to see multiple times per week. Others I'm perfectly happy to see once per month. Others who have moved away and I won't see until I visit their city.

Friends and community are not a zero-sum game. The more interconnected and inter-dependent people are, the more likely that everyone is going to have deep and meaningful relationships.

I used to feel much more like you when I was regularly hanging out with friends almost exclusively 1:1. I thought I was doing that because I was introverted, but realistically I was doing it because I had social anxiety. Looking back, hanging mostly 1:1 made me feel like my friends were more distant because there were so many people I didn't see for months that I always felt like I didn't really know my friends.
Yes, that is what public domain is. What reason is there for society to give RR Martin more than 10 years of copyright protection? He is free to shop around his story to movie makers in that time. And if it is so good, someone will jump on it.

After that, it is not “exploitation”, it is using something in the public domain.

As someone who was born in Latin America, I always find those stereotypes about America funny.
If anything, Americans can't fucking leave you alone for God's sake. They need to smile at you in the street, give you good morning, invite you to their churches, and bring you a pie after you move to the neighborhood.
Ok, this is more of a suburban experience. But this is also quintessential America.

The 'American Dream' was that you could have a property/house (small!), maybe a one car, maybe some 'fancy' things like a diswhasher, and probably do that while only one parent was working, and your rights would be protected, you'd have political stability and participatory democracy, rule of law, a sense of national identity, and probably an 'ok retirement' - and you'd be able to do that in your 'community'.

> They crowd streets, belch carbon, bifurcate communities, and destroy the urban fabric. Will we ever overcome our addiction?

Betteridge's law of headlines says no.

Even extremely well-planned and progressive cities like Portland (which has been expanding light rail for 30 years straight) haven't budged above 15% commuting by public transportation. No city outside SF and NYC have meaningfully addressed this. https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/interactive/pu...

This is why electrification is so important. North American civilization is dependent on cars and trucking and will always be so when our countries are continental at scale.
> It's strange that people are so eager to export (and import) urbanism ideas around the world without much understanding of the cultural differences and needs.

It's not even just cultural differences and needs. It's the lack of questioning in decisions and groupthink.

Tax per acre used to be a metric that was used in urban planning decisions. That was mostly thrown away when people started to want cars. A primary metric then became level of service. LOS was a way to measure traffic volume but didn't necessarily mean increased net economic output, although it was nearly used as one. It doesn't paint the picture correctly for municipal urban planning in a financial sense.

For sustained economic vitality in a very simplistic form, the infrastructure and municipal services costs should be subtracted from the amount of tax revenue gained from the land. Basically, is this land making the city money or is it costing the city money. This info can be used to adjust taxes, plan better built environments, amongst other things.

If that was regularly being measured throughout the last 100 years and acted upon, I imagine much of the car dependent areas of the world would look a lot different. If you talk to urban planners today about this (which I have), many still don't use it at all.
I am going hiking in New Mexico next week. I am taking the train there.

After looking at the excellent public transportation in the Santa Fe area, I decided to make the whole vacation car-free.

I’m from Kansas City, and public transportation is pretty much a joke. They have buses and a street car, but you just can’t get around town that way. It would take me an entire day to do things that would take a 1/2 hour in a car.

In Santa Fe, as long as I have a few bus schedules on hand, there is not much to worry about. I’m even couchsurfing with someone that lives 15 miles out of town, and there’s a bus that will get me within a mile.

What’s the worst is where I live now, the ‘burbs. Not quite the freedom and nature of the country, not quite the dazzle and immediacy of the city. At least it’s bike-able.

Anyway, I’m really excited about my trip and getting around in a different way.

I suggest that the 'modern toxic version of the American Dream' is defined mostly by people who want to define it as toxic. So you could say that maybe Zuckerburg represents that, which would make it kind of toxic, but I don't think most Americans would ever think he represents the dream. Though I suppose there are fewer visible local community members who are representative of it as role models.
De minimus is about assignment of copyright to new works that are only slightly different than the original. It does not say that minimal copying is ok, rather that minimal copying does not justify a new copyright.

Disney does go after people drawing mickey mouse on walls. Schools, daycares, even private houses. They go after on not only trademark but copyright grounds too. There is nothing in copyright law that says private copying is ok.

My suspicion is it boils down to maturity and scope of the domain. When it is brand-new, one guy can change the world in his garage in a few months. As it matures, you start to need large teams to build the next incredible thing. Even if you are passionate and ambitious, tinkering in your garage simply will not allow you to realize your vision. So you join a large company where you can.

Yes, but without an airport in my wife's hometown, 8 hours by HSR is better than flying from Beijing to Changsha or Guangzhou and transferring to HSR.

Chinese HSR stations can be as inconveniently located as airports, so that isn't much of a benefit. Security is a bit better, they mostly make you put your bag through some sort of X-ray machine that I doubt they are looking at.
Making either efficient requires investment, and I’m not sure that Americans have invested enough in light rail.

Actually, making cars efficient doesn’t work as soon as you reach a certain scale, and I suspect that scale is less than 40k people.
The Psychology Industry takes good basic ideas from individual work and builds out Programs and Apps and Do's and Don'ts for mass audiences. Because it gets more clicks it connects with the self-critical parts of us that tell us we're not doing enough, or aren't good enough. Capitalism as a whole has a need to constantly reinforce those things, or else people won't buy more than they need.

The adage of "Don't take criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from" is a pretty good one for filtering out all sorts of these things. Another is that "Comparison is the thief of joy."

In the west and especially in the US with our extreme sociosocietal independence it necessitates individual therapy to connect with our own needs, where in other places community and relationships would take its place. There's no easy pathways especially in this society towards self-contentment.
Nice visualisations. What Troy's work lacks is "closure" -I've used the various well known tools over the last 2-3 years to change passwords and move to 2FA and I'd like him to let me flag "fixed" against the credentials breaches. Some of them are almost decades old now.

It isn't just CPUs either. For GPUs, a 2018 analysis [1] estimated that FLOPS per dollar only doubled every 3.9 years. With recent disappointing improvements in new graphics card price/performance, I expect this number got even worse now.

Kind of (having previously used gentoo but now using arch). Gentoo has the philosophy of 'here, you can build this package exactly how you like, and then configure it'. Arch is more like 'here's the package built as close to how the developers intended, and here's how to configure it'. You can build stuff yourself on arch but it doesn't encourage it, and a lot of decisions are made explicitly because they makes maintainers lives easier, not provides features to users.

None of the anticar keyboard warriors seem to live in cities or even be 'about that life'. I did the opposite and kept a car in NYC for years, spending 3 hours a week street parking it. If I can do that, surely they can put the effort in to do the opposite if they're so passionate.
I am not an American and I don't see things about the American Ethos the same way the author does. Most foreigners who have lived in the USA are far more forgiving of the American society. No, it takes an east coast intelectual born in america to be so critical of American Society.

And mind you, if you look at my history here you'll see lots of comments critical of American and especially its foreign policy. But this kind of stereotyping is basically wrong.
One of the perplexing things about Quest Pro is that Meta keeps the default UI rendering at the same scale for the Pro as for the Quest 2. The result is that all the home environments look blurry and poorly antialiased. It's hard to judge the lenses themselves properly actually without connecting it to PCVR mode and looking at some ultra high resolution content there. It really is very impressive when you do that.
That's true, but TikTok's primary demographic (teenagers) contains a disproportionate part of the population willing to go to remarkable inconveniences to subvert authority. Alcohol and vapes take substantially more effort for your average high schooler to get their hands on than downloading an APK and pressing "install", yet there's no shortage of drinking and vaping happening.

As long as the overall platform is popular, it won't be surprising to see a lot of kids showing each other how to sideload.
Disney to Remove Dozens of Series from Disney+ & Hulu
I think that is shortsighted. If you could realize a futurists dream of AR, i.e. smooth overly interacting properly with anything in your view, with context aware detail etc, it would pretty clearly be a game changer (I think).

On the other hand, existing AR, like existing VR, just doesn't deliver on that promise, not even approximately.

With current tech, it's more an issue that the juice isn't worth the squeeze. That can change when either (or both) side of the equation changes.
It’s a classic example of a fundamental American tall tale — that of a nation built on notions of individualism, a male-dominated story filled with loners and “rugged individualists” who suck it up, do what needs to be done, ride off into the sunset and like it that way.

Diamond types author here! Congratulations on getting your crdt working! It’s lovely to see a new generation of CRDTs which have decent performance.

And nice stuff implementing peritext! I’d love to do the same in diamond types at some point. You beat me to it!

Im building a little repository of real world collaborative editing traces to use when benchmarking, comparing and optimising text based CRDTs[1]. The automerge-perf editing trace isn’t enough on its own. And we’re increasingly converging on a format for multi user concurrent editing traces too[2]. It’d be great to add some rich text editing traces in the mix if you’re interested in recording something, so we can also compare how peritext performs in different systems.

Anyway, welcome to the community! Love to have more implementations around!

IMO the default mode of transport should be scooters. They don't take all that much space than a person(unlike car) but (like car) can move far faster

The infrastructure is all here already. They pollute less (ICE) and the no pollution electric ones are far more affordable than EVs. Like 4 of them fit in one parking space. They have storage space for some small groceries too.

Sadly winter and rain sucks.. i guess at least for rain those scooters with roofs could cover that.

> Like, what's the alternative?

This is, of course, the inability to visualize a different life that I referred to in my original post. There are many alternatives to car-oriented life, as cities that grew before cars plainly evidence. Those are the cities that people want to spend their vacations in.

Instead of building shopping malls with parking lots, Colombia could relax zoning to allow chain restaurants and McDonalds near housing, and build dedicated bike lanes to get to them. Instead of building suburbs and freeways, it could build more public space like open pedestrian plazas to give people a feeling of space, and metros/bus rapid transit to make it easy to get around. Colombians who want to live a quiet suburban-style life can still do that in a rural home, which could be connected by rail when traveling to a city is required - but their choice to live a suburban life should not require those of us in cities to give up our space for wide roads to fit their cars and endless free car storage, at the expense of our way of life.

These options aren't the only alternatives Colombians could have, nor are they a fantasy - they exist today in places like Europe and parts of Asia.

Cars are not a requirement for human flourishing. We only designed our lives to make them that way.
