There's currently very little incentive to pedestrianize actual problem cities from all concerned parties. Because pedestrians are still largely able to bike, walk, bus etc just fine. And drivers are largely able to commute/park just fine.

We need to be honest that the folks most concerned (rightfully so) with urban car congestion are wealthy upper class people who moved TO the cities for their upperclass nature. Should we totally upend one of these groups in an attempt to solve an unsolvable problem for both groups?

Bit of rambling but I am fascinated by this problem.
"the everyone whose income is from investment is stealing"

So if millionaires are bad for investing and doing good... does that mean "poor" are bad for not investing? Does that mean that the poor people should suffer when investments go bad? And what about stuff that requires billions - IE: Star Link, Tesla, Spaceships, etc? You think a company shouldn't reward people who risked millions?

Your problem is you don't accept that most people won't take the risks - either because they can't or because they won't. Those that do are what have created the world of miracles we live in. From computer to phones to the site we are talking across right now.

Saying that investers are stealing is a bold faced lie because without those investors there wouldn't be anything to "steal". And if employees had to work at a company that wasn't profitable for decades - IE: Tesla wasn't profitable for 17 years - then a majority of companies wouldn't exist.

outlandish inheritance tax punishes those who work hard and take risks - risks that should be rewarded and not punished by greedy people unwilling or unable to take those risks. "the rich" already pay more than their share and it's simple greed to want more More MORE MOAR! of other peoples money simply because they have the balls to take risks.

My last century GTI had kill switch (it was one of those circular keys and a spring loaded button) under the steering wheel. The engine would turn like it was trying to start, but it wouldn't unless it was unlocked. The other thing the switch did which I didn't realize at first was lock the hood. I bough the car used and trying to lift the hood initially I thought the latch was broken..

I disagree: the device monitors battery fluctuations to 'authenticate' the driver. the fluctuations need to be a specific pattern - delivered either by a device plugged into the 12v accessory port, or by some specific pattern of driver behavior, such as quickly flashing lights, activating wipers, etc. This is indeed a novel approach.

And it is a fair sight more involved than a simple kill switch, by the look of things. The research aspect comes from exploring the practicality of such an approach. This exploration requires prototypes, test beds and investigators.

Who's really to say what the results of the research will be, at this point? In my opinion, I think smart phones and NFC are probably the way to go... but I'm not going to hop on the internet and make scornful remarks until I know more. I'm not sure why you have done so?

>> ArchLinux-style rather thsn NixOS style. Just roll the updates when they are ready into your very own test, int, acc, and finally prod.

The issue is that a rolling-release approach does not have stability guarantees and forces everything to be upgrading all the time.

This does not work very well if you have specialized hardware or scientific equipment. If the drivers for your lab equipment work with a given release of an enterprise linux, you can't just jump on the next release until you have working drivers ready.

The same is true if you are working with some enterprise software which is only certified to work with a given release of an enterprise linux. Would you really want to run business critical software on a version of the operating system which is not (yet) supported by the vendor?

Counter battery radar + $50k gmlrs with better range and better time on target and 182k tungsten balls seems more like a winning plan than a spotting drone and $35k drone that flies slowly, has limited range, is vulnerable to to EW, and needs to hit the target directly.

You have made a lot of points why the lancets MIGHT be very good, and certainly it's one of the most effective weapons on the Russian side today. However my central point remains the same: Ukraine is winning the artillery attrition war despite these features. In order to be a game changer you need to actually change the game, if you're losing 3:1 of your artillery pieces or even 2:1 then it calls in to question how much your weapon is changing the nature of warfare.

Some of your speculation I agree with it and some I don't but on the whole I want to avoid making affirmative statements on the direction of the war, since as I said before, I am not an expert on this. Anything I say would just be speculation.

The metrics for websites are flawed. For instance, time-on-site. If a user spends more time on a site before clicking back, maybe that site is more useful. Or maybe that site has made it purposely difficult to find the key information, such as recipe websites that place lots of unnecessary text and ads before to actual recipe. But that strategy gets the site better search engine rankings, which in turn ranks them higher and drives more traffic, which drives more ad revenue.

When I encounter a site where the first thing I see is a pop up to subscribe, or prompt about opting out of cookies, or 60 second ad to watch a 30 second video, I just leave the site.

I think that's one of the big features of old 8-bit micros that I'm saddest to see is gone. You turn them on and start programming. Today, you don't need to program a computer, it comes loaded with things to do, many of them already running, some that may work against you... and it has an app store full of other such things! But back then, computers were for programming like pencils were for writing with. Writing and then running programs was what you did with a computer. Sure, you could load someone else's program... but you had to tell the system to load it before it could... even exist in the computer's memory.

Yes, that can be the tradeoff, and a reasonable one in the right circumstances. Some projects are like that where there is really no team dedicated to anything more than keeping the lights on.

It does depend on the type of tile—for Moroccan zellige, it's just a surface coating made by dipping clay tiles in a liquid. Still makes gorgeous colors. However, those are generally one color per tile, versus the style here where each tile has multiple colors. And they're ceramic tiles instead of cement.
> By making it hard to obtain weapons.

If the legal rule is "you can't shoot anybody", which is what the post I responded to said, wouldn't that make it impossible to legally obtain weapons? Why just "hard"?

If, OTOH, you mean make it hard to illegally obtain weapons, where has this actually been done successfully? My reading of human history is that criminals who want weapons have always been able to get them somehow.

> The US thinking to me seams to go along the lines of handing out nuclear weapons to everybody so forces are balanced...

I don't know where you are getting that from. The US thinking is very simple: since it is impossible for governments to prevent all violent crimes or to ensure that police show up in time to protect citizens from being harmed by violent crime, citizens must be allowed to have the means of self defense. The best way to minimize the number of citizens that feel the need to have weapons for self-defense is to extirpate crime--but unfortunately the US in recent decades has been moving in the opposite direction.

Why a cautionary tale? The manhattan project was a succees. Does anyone doubt that if a similar war broke out nukes won't be used?

Just look at the number of civilians the japanese killed (nanjing massacare is arguably worse than the holocaust) and they would have kept doing that. Assuming all lives are equal, nukes saved a crapton of lives.

I think it is hypocritical to say cluster and fire bombs that have high rates od civilian casualty and even chemical weapons were ok but nukes somehow are not.

Moreover, can you imagine the world we would live in without nukes? A whole lot of countries would be fighting a whole lot of wars were it not for the fear of starting a nuclear war. Even now, without nukes, do you think there is a chance the US would be attacking Russia over Ukraine? Or if there is a war with China, do you think there would be more or less casualities if there was no nukes? Short of multipe nukes hitting multiple cities on both sides continually, a drawn out conventional war would kill more people, especially with other WMDs still in play. Cholrine gas was used on civilians as early as WW1.

You gotta understand, in a major war like WW2 where losing means nazis and imperial japanese invade the US homeland, most people have no problem nuking their cities (self included). Youe choice is between your children and family or theirs. This isn't like vietnam/iraq/afghanistan which are wars of ideology and interference not wars of self defense. Also keep in mind that most japanese would have fought tooth and nail (civilians included) against an american invasion. Many killed themselves and their own families simply because their land was invaded and they felt dishonored.

"Doesn't make any practical difference."

Yes, it does. You are confusing 'Russian' and 'Soviet'.

"Soviet colonial policies"

That was funny. You are confusing with your colonial past.

"If you want to start settling old scores"

It's not about that. Russia was fine with the Crimea belonging to the Ukraine while it didn't matter much for Russia and for Crimeans themselves. That was until the nationalists took power in 2014 with the help of American 'midwifing' (quoting Obama here).

"you can demonstrate good faith"

USSR demonstrated good faith when it greenlighted reunification of Germany and got assurances that NATO won't expand to the east. Look how that worked out.

The easy boring answer would be to just do damage mitigation and return copyright to 25 years.

The longer and more complex answer is to raise people to respect of copyright law. What should society expect in return for giving individuals and companies a time limited monopoly? A mandatory license given to libraries would be appreciated symbolic gesture. Different categories could also have longer or shorter duration depending on that markets needs and requirements, and government could measure the market impact that such time limited monopoly has and see if the benefits of market intervention is greater than the drawbacks (just like any other market regulation). Marketed products towards children and young adults could get additional regulated in order to reduce the differences in access to culture between the poor and rich.

Such changes are however extremely unlikely to happen due to extensive overlapping international agreements that has cemented the long copyright terms of 75+ years after the author death.
