>The last thing the world needs is more housing construction, especially with the insane CO2 footprint of anything involving concrete.

That self imposed limit is exactly what keeps prices high. Every city has some run down areas that serve no purpose but are wasted space and could be turned into housing.

Also, as some others already said it, living in urban areas reduces your footprint versus living far away in the countryside so the CO2 released from dense urban building makes up for it from the scale of people living together compared to low density rural areas which cost more in maintenance, transportation, etc.

>There are millions of units vacant everywhere, be it the US [1] or Germany [2].

It doesn't help anyone if those vacant units are not where the jobs and education is, especially that 100% WFH is not even remotely(ha!) mainstream, but return to office has being normalized again in Germany, at best into hybrid arrangements so everyone still needs to live close to the office anyway. I can't carry that cheap rural house with me into the city where my job is.

>We need to invest into rural areas again.

Germany and other countries could bring life back to rural areas if it mandated employers allow 100% WFH whoever possible as that would get a lot of people moving back to their hometown closer to their family especially if their family could help out with raising kids.

It could also cause a surge in birthrates and formation of new families. Instead we normalized living with roomates in your 30's, to work for some corporation who needs you in an expensive city with scarce real-estate, just to do stuff you can do from your laptop from anywhere.

We had a good thing going for a while in the pandemic(not the virus, deaths, social distancing, and all that) but the lack of car trips, lack of air and noise pollution, people taking their remote jobs back to live with their families, reduced immigration causing rents to plummet, touristic areas finally livable again, etc. But our dear leaders and their business overlords saw that and said "this is affecting our profits and GDP, we can't have that, we must go back to the way it was before!".
Interesting idea. This was the sales pitch that drew me to Mondo (now Monzo) but they ended up dropping their user-facing API almost entirely and replaced it with Open Banking APIs that aren't available to regular hobbyists.

That said, looks interesting! Good luck!

This has happened only in BG3 with GFN for me. All other titles run perfectly or OK-ish.

It appears that there is some problem with BG3 on GFN. The game’s launcher constantly complains about “corrupt data files” and cloud saves take some time to sync from and to Steam.
I'll bite. Why does deadnaming have to be a criminal offence?
I vividly remember how I was told that you could write "2.years" in RoR.

So, if you copy that code snippet and run it as an independent script, it would just not work because it was a RoR monkey patch method.

Worse, the implicit imports mean that unless you have a global view of which files and gems are require-d, you don't know what your code is actually going to do.

That, and coworkers suddenly feeling at liberty to override `method_missing`, abusing `bindings`, and all that stuff, makes it really hard to like the language if only for its tendency to bring out the worst in people.
The mail wasn't really public discourse though.

Newspapers/tv/radio were, and no one was giving nazi's equal time on every issue.

Newspapers only ever published what they wanted to, censoring any viewpoint they felt like censoring.
This analogy doesn't hold up, if you were using a room in a house for illegal activity and you didn't come out, they would absolutely cut your power to come after you.

> * The whole point of private property is that it carves out a space of freedom for you, the owner of the private property, to use it as you wish!!!*

Be careful here not to conflate personal property and lucrative property. The first (like a home) is what you say. The second (like a factory) is a way to tell others what to do on your turf, for your benefit rather than theirs.

Private companies are of the second kind: more freedom for shareholders, fewer freedoms for employees… and if they’re big and inevitable enough (like YouTube), that’s fewer freedoms for users as well.

Even if we didn’t distinguish the two kinds of property, I could easily twist your sentence into meaning that the whole point of property is to make sure rich owners have more freedom than the poor. Which is probably not the point you were trying to make.

Freedom is a tricky thing to balance.
I think the hand-waving was the point. It was a dig at Intel, accusing them of not having a solid plan.

Wading through each and every single thing a person has done in their lives to mock them is stalking, yes. Even if we pretend it isn't for a second it means that the person who is being followed is now forces to look at every interaction, no matter how innocuous, under the lens of "How will Kiwifarms react to this?" Can you meet a friend without them trying to dig up information on that friend? Can you apply for a job without HR finding a thread of thousands of posts talking about you? Probably not, and that has life and mental health ruining consequences.

Its patently obvious you agree with their behavior but lack the fortitude to admit it.

Is there any benefit in using sugar replacements? When you eat something sweet your body prepares itself for the sugar intake which, in the case sweetener usage, t never comes.

Let's assume your organism addapts to this situation and at some point you consume something that contains actual sugar, how will it respond to that?
I'm on the same page, and I think the title could have been better because it overlooks the following sentence, which is in my opinion the most effective argument against HE:

> Tier 1 ISPs don’t have the ability or the incentive to build content evaluation teams that are even as effective as those of the giant platforms who know far more about their end users and yet still engage in harmful censorship.

HE should not do the "moderation" not because those sites are okay, but because HE can't do the effective moderation. The current title doesn't suggest that the subject ("ISPs") is very important.

Yes, movies are our guide. They are probably the most powerful of means to how we find the common set of rules and norms - the "culture war" is not some silly side argument, it is people looking for battle lines in defining the cultural norms of the 21C.

Hollywood and Bollywood and xxxwood will play enormous parts in that.

> Is there an upper limit where your private property is considered public utility?

Maybe.

I don't think it's a problem if companies with extreme amounts of power have to give up some freedom of banning.

On a sliding scale though, you don't literally become a utility one day.

(And when it comes to "only commercial storefront space in a large area", I expect that to be very rare.)
A lot of this is that anything electric needs to be an order of magnitude heavier and significantly large to achieve any range due to the much lower energy density of batteries.

It's possible to have small electrics but those often have short ranges and most of the big ugly things you see on the roads in DK is kinda hybrids or follows the trend set by the hybrids.

The real way to deal with the SUV nonsense and not hurt the rural areas where you might need range is to just charge double for parking for large cars and cap the speed of large almost trucks to the same as lorries.
Yep, I think part of the appeal of the tropical kitsch vs. other types of kitsch is that tropical items have been abstracted into something like "hot weather accessories" and fit into any place that is hot, even if it's in the middle of the desert. Combined with the "escapist" vibe of Vegas, it makes sense why they would seem natural there.
> I think Python was popular as a general-purpose language first. After all, there was a reason people put so much effort into writing Numpy in the first place.

what general purpose? that's just a buzz word. especially back then shipping python apps was never a viable option compared to binaries compiled from c/++ or java. there never was such a "general purpose".
While i agree in general, the threat of construction would force the prices to tumble instantly , so it is a good thing.
I got used to it. It’s just after a lot of exposure I stopped being bothered. It just becomes very matter of fact. Occasionally I see things that blow my mind, but not in a bad way. More so just fascination.
And, there are a couple of surgeries that still make me squeamish such as eye surgery, and also surgery on fingers and toes.
I can watch open heart surgery, and be completely unfazed, and I can see mangled human bodies that have been severely damaged in motor vehicle accidents, and not get caught up in the horror of it, but rather just focus on the fact that in front of me lays a body, and therefore a person who needs help, and I can put my emotions to one side, and focus on the actual job of helping to fix it, in the hopes of reducing suffering and improving quality of life.

But also, I think our bodies are special despite how they may come across in an anatomy textbook. And for all the empirical scientific evidence in the world, no one can tell you what actually is consciousness, or where it comes from - that’s pretty special in my own personal opinion.

Overall, I think your feelings are a normal part of the process, and you will either get used to it, or maybe realise it’s just not the right career path for you.

> If there aren't alternatives at the point of sale, there aren't alternatives.

I agree. But most of my bad food choices are made in supermarkets. Next time you're at a checkout, look for the healthy trolleys and the unhealthy trolleys. Honestly, the difference is stark. (When I go on a health kick, I find it amazing how many aisles I just don't need to walk down. So much processed food).

On the tax point I'm going to try to argue you away from the concept of hypothecated tax, because I think it's almost always a bad idea. Money is fungible, and taxation all goes into a single pot. Tying tax and spending together is a rhetorical trick, meant to manipulate public opinion - whenever you see a politician doing that, there's a good chance they're trying to con you.

If we're going to put a sin tax on something, we should do it because it's the right thing to do. If we're going to fund a health programme, we should do it because it's the right thing to do. But these decisions are orthagonal. Tying them just unnecessarily binds government's hands wrt future policy changes. Worst-case, you end up funding obsolete health programmes, "because that's what the tax is for".
Housing is a fixed cost that everyone is required to pay. I can stop buying chicken. I can't stop paying for housing. There are peculiarities about housing as a "product" that make it nonsensical to compare to other products or markets. The housing market can easily increase prices as much as it wants without losing out on revenue or potential gains, and in many markets it has done so to the degree that millions of people are priced out or relegated to spending all their discretionary funds on it, as well as forcing them to reduce their food, heating and/or transport budgets.

The problem isn't land owners it's landlords. Renting should be illegal and anyone caught accepting rent should lose his property to the renter.

Some neat ideas, but

> As long as the OS stays compatible with the old stuff in the context, it can add new functionalities for other App by just appending to the context the new functions

Welcome to backwards compatibility hell. You're boxing yourself in this way because you're forbidding yourself to remove old / defunct entries from the Context struct.

I think a better approach would be to introduce some kind of semantic versioning between OS and app. The app declares, somehow, what version of the OS it was built against or depends on. The OS then can check if the app is compatible and can pass a version of the Context struct that fits. This doesn't get rid of most backwards compatibility problems, but you keep the Context struct clean by effectively having multiple structs in the kernel, one for each major / minor version.

I wouldn't return to more rural areas if 100% WFH is possible. Some left it for a reason and not to get better internet.

And, at least in germany, many rural areas are not so unattractive. I know plenty rural villages with great internet. Especially in BW public transport is solid, the next bigger population center is close by and there are many jobs. It's just conservative, culturally boring, inflexible and really set in their old ways.
