Hmm, housing in Europe is more expensive than in the US, especially per square meter. Not needing to drive a car is a preference and Americans clearly don't have the same one, it's not an economic advantage for most, and cars in US are cheaper to own. From my vacation experience groceries etc in Europe are much more expensive.

I mean they have disposable income measures that account for all that as well as welfare programs. In the end disposable incomes in the US make half of the first world look like third world:

You can also see % of that spent on housing, US is lower than most EU countries
Yeah that kind of conversation makes sense on amortization of large amounts over long periods. If I buy something that costs $100 with a 0% interest rate on a BNPL scheme over 12 months, how much did I earn by investing that $100 elsewhere? Is there even a place that offers returns on that small amount of money? Even so, would it be anything more than a few cents? I guess you could buy half a stock of AAPL with it or something
>There's a full generation of adults who grew up taking the Internet for granted is my point. There are many orders of magnitude of information flowing there than you can even imagine. Yet you claim to _know_ counter culture isn't a thing anymore because you don't see any mainstream cultural narratives describing any aspects of it. Do you see the problem in this logic?

In this logic, yes, meaning your argument :)

Counter-culture doesn't mean obscure and indiscoverable. So "there's so much internet, there's bound to be some counter-culture in there you've missed" is not an answer.

Even if it was, it would be irrelevant. What made counter-culture relevant (as opposed to "what a very small bunch a people do for their own amusement"), was the interplay at the edges of established culture, and the influence it exerted over it. Until the next one came, and so on.

So, "once it has a widely known name and a section in the nearest media outlet, it's by definition part of the mainstream" is precisely what's not been seen happening (with insignificant exceptions).

In any case, it's not like this hasn't been covered a lot. See Mark Fisher's writings for an example.

> individual vehicles very inconvenient

I suspect individual vehicles is inherently inconvenient. The parking lot for Disneyland is an example, the traffic jams of any city with over 50k people in it are examples. Individual vehicles do not scale very well, and through extreme expense the US has built infrastructure to make individual vehicles as convenient as can be.

> not because they prefer it.

I would like to see data behind this. Driving for a commute is generally not enjoyable, it's time a person will not get back and meanwhile they have done very little productive other than perhaps listen to a podcast. OTOH when on a bus, someone else is worrying about the roads and plenty of people get significant work done, reading done, generally relax. I suspect most would prefer mass transit if it were more time efficient. Driving yourself is still a pretty killer option in most of the US as it's an extreme reduction in commute time due to lack of density and frequency in the mass transit network.

*To clarify, the typical bus experience in the US can vary quite a bit. I commuted into Seattle for several years on the bus system. That is my experience, those trips were 99.9% fine experiences, it was quiet and essentially everyone was just messing around on their smart phones. The only really unpleasant part of the bus experience was there were not enough of them running such that the bus could be crowded and was a long wait between buses. That is a different experience for sure from the buses that run within downtown and riding those buses around 2pm when there are no commuters on them.

My claim is that a well funded bus system is intrinsically more enjoyable for the same reason an AV is - because you can do something other than 'driving' while traveling.
Certainly there are incentives for it. It needs to outlawed through legislation.
> There’s tonnes of Apple features that break because of this. Apple’s view is that there’s a 1:1 correspondence between Apple IDs and people, and everything they do is designed around that fact.

Ugh, yeah. Good point. Never had a company that made me have a separate AppleID so I didn't think of it.

It would, of course, be a non-issue if Apple allowed multiple users on iPad :-/

Yeah. It exclusively comes from non-Apple owners. They never seem to notice that it's not a big deal for people actually living it.

I think Europe is much better than the US for car safety. Having uniform bumper levels also help a lot. I’ve always wondered about the legality of driving a US pickup truck in Europe. Do you have any more resources about that sort of thing?
He missed FedNow.

FedNow is operational. It just turned on last month. It's run by the Fed, like ACH and FedWire. It's much faster - seconds. The Fed charges $0.043 per transaction, and the transaction size is up to $100,000. Settlement is immediate; funds are available upon receipt. It's a US bank to bank system, mostly, like ACH and FedWire.[1] Many other countries have similar systems.

As banks roll this out to consumers, there will effectively be a ceiling on how much other money transfer services can charge. As with ACH and FedWire, this is a fixed fee service, not a percentage of the amount. This makes running a "payment rail" service far less profitable.

It's probably impossible to generalize among all public schools. Some are and some aren't to various degrees depending on a thousand factors. The problem is more like, how do you realize if a particular public school class is bad and what are your practical options once you do.

Why are people in the US so against public schools? I am someone who did not really enjoy “school” and found it anxiety inducing but I still see the benefits of it.

In public school you are forced to mingle with the people of your generation. The ones who will inevitably go on to run the country in whatever big or small way.

The objective of public school is to break down the regional identities of old and assimilate the youth into the “new” national identity. And what do we see in countries without functional public schools? Everything sucks. And there is no cohesion between peoples. I see it in the home country of my parents.
I'm not outraged. I dislike it, and it would be a "con" when considering any use of the project.

Binaries are relatively inscrutable, and there are massive differences in ease of doing something nefarious or careless with OS binaries, and upstream checked in source code, and upstream checked in binaries.

That's just one or two reasons why I think this approach is not at all commonplace in open settings, and is generally limited to closed and controlled settings like corporate environments.

A more typical and reasonable approach would be having a dependency on such a binary that you get however you like: OS, build from upstream source, upstream binary, etc., and where the default is not the latter.

And now if you allow me to get a bit off-topic again: to me, having to "innovate" like this is a major sign that this project knows it is very slow, and knows it's unlikely to ever not be very slow.

Go review the iPhone announcement. The original iPhone was nothing compared to the recent models. Amazon in 1997 might allow you to buy some books, whereas the amount of stuff you can buy is much larger today.

The UK economy is a pyramid scheme. There's no focus on building expertise and keeping it here. There's no investment in up and coming industries. There's practically no long term plan. We went through 10+ years of low interest rates where we could have invested all over the country and instead we just cut and cut and cut. Now we go through a period of high interest rates and the country falls apart.

The only way this economy works is by importing cheap labour. We have an entire farming industry that relies on foreign workers with low standards of living. How on earth is it sustainable?
I was homeschooled K-12. Even 15 years ago, my parents would say that they were like general contractors for my education. And it is really is true. I had a mix of co-op, community college, online, self-study, and parent-guided study for all my courses. This was more so for highschool and less so for primary or grade school, which was mostly directly taught by my mother. And as others have said, homeschooling is very, very time efficient. IIRC, during grade school I was done by lunch time (maybe one or two smaller things required).

Hey, hyperpaper creator here! One of my long term dreams for the project is to make those pdfs usable as an input source for PKMs like Obsidian. I love the promise of full-featured PKMs (searchability, long-term retention) but I don't want to be on a laptop for hours curating and typing into them. An eInk tablet is my preferred note-taking and thinking device.

The idea I want to eventually pursue is set up a service where you could sync your pdf (or send specific pages via email), have them OCRed (including dates and titles specifically since they already live in well-defined parts of the pages), and then ingest them into your PKM for long-term storage and recall

Unfortunately Obsidian Cloud doesn't seem to have an API to support this at present, but I think it's theoretically feasible with Notion at least. Let me know if you build something like this :)

I can definitely see this being a disaster. I can also see it as becoming quite successful. Time will tell, but having more choices in education is better. Let those who can afford to experiment pay those fees. When I look at what people overpay for their cars, I'm going to guess this will have better returns than the vehicle will.

> In reality, send your children to public school, and use the money you'd waste on this scam to visit museums, universities, libraries, historical sites, and the like. BE the enriching force in your child's life.

A false dichotomy, don't you think? Someone sending their kids to these microschools are probably as likely to send their kids to museums, etc than those who send kids to public schools. In my anecdotal experience, they are more likely. In the old days (i.e. 10-20 years ago), sending kids to museums, libraries and field trips for education was heavily promoted by those advocating for homeschooling.

Sure. But that difficulty all comes down to whose shoulders you stand on. If the peripherals' functionalities and their registers are fully described in a datasheet, and you have a working toolchain, and a viable method for loading binaries, then you are set. Additional libraries on top would make it even easier, but you at least have the device's specifications.

Companies like Qualcomm, Broadcom, and Marvell are notorious for locking down their documentation. If you're not shipping millions of units, they're not going to give you the time of day. And even if they are willing to work with you, they're not going to provide you with full register maps, or really anything that would allow you to be independent of them. Instead, they'll give you binary blobs that handle low level details. Every datasheet is watermarked, and NDAs are required to get them.

Most of the other big players, STMicro, Texas Instruments, Nordic, Microchip, etc, are far more open. Just about all of their parts are well documented, and those documents are freely available.

I don't really "get" homeschooling. How can parents be knowledgeable in all the subjects that school teachers teach? There are also cases of parents homeschooling for the purpose of religiously or otherwise ideologically indoctrinating their children, something that does not often happen in public schools, both due to the curricula as well as heterogeneity of thought via socializing and sharing information with many other students.

I suppose the pro is that you can teach exactly what you want, but that's also a con, as above.

I've done that a couple of times buying televisions from Best Buy. Take the 12 month no-interest offer, then pay it off in 11 months - it's free money.

However, they have changed the details in recent years. Prior to this it was an ordinary financing account. But now it is a Best Buy credit card account with a limit equal to the purchase price. This means that in the 1st month of the offer, you're at 100% utilization on that card. And this hurts your credit score. Not to mention it now has an annual fee with an interest rate potentially as high as 31.49%. And this is just too risky. Save your money, then buy what you want.
