Not disagreeing, but since society was evolving as well, it seems more like Carlin was pushing whatever the current boundary was at the time. When he pushed and society gave a bit, he pushed more.

Trying to start his career with The Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television would have clearly been a ... non-starter.
There's a difference between getting paid for what you didn't make (land) or for what you did make (journalism).
The real estate market is driven by speculation no? So that has to be solved before building more is ever going to be a useful option. Otherwise we just pour gas on the fire of real estate speculation by expanding the size of the bubble. Building supply without any restriction in demand just scales the problem up linearly in proportion to the money put into new development.
Are you advocating for the abolition of apartment buildings and hotels? What would that look like? Super low density sprawl because nobody will spend the money to create a multi-unit building they’re not allowed to rent?
It also uses them for phone numbers, if you're not careful.

I have, in real life, received an SMS from… let's see… 4.4786e+11 welcoming me to Germany and giving me a link to the German COVID quarantine and testing rules (I was already in Germany at the time, I just turned off Airplane mode for the first time in 6 months).
It's been a while.

what are those benefits you speak of? and why are they structured in such a way that it benefits those not legally married?

in austria/germany at least what matters is household income. if you live together you get supported together. being married has no disadvantage.
Every company I’ve worked at uses Dynamo. It counts as boring. Most also use SQL - it’s really not difficult to choose the right tool for the job
I use DDG but actively of thinking switching to Kagi: https://kagi.com/ -- it's a paid service but I can justify it based on the amount of search queries I run everyday. Has anyone switched and not looked back?
Annoyingly, I find that Bing is the only “good” search engine of the 3 major ones (Google, Bing , DDG)

Google has gone so far into the “well we think you really meant this” zone that it refuses to show me pertinent results unless I start adding quotes and modifiers to my search.

DDG is veering there.

Bing for now is the most literal. I search something and it gives me results that have tighter matches to my terms
The “in 3 years” was meant as a forward looking statement.

The post was being sarcastic that Uber will in 3+ years time claim another victory, based on abandoning the cloud.
No, that's not correct (mostly). Services are written in the way to support global operations.

But that scale introduces a lot of complexity so you can't just have "one service for onboarding drivers"
The original owners don't exist anymore. We probably don't even know who they were. Control of land in America was never an unbroken line of custody by a single tribe. You could consider the most recent non-white owners, but that's a pointless distinction.
Could you elaborate on how building apartments specifically for low income residents would do this? My county has started buying old hotels and whatnot to convert for their uses.
I don't get your comment in regard to this article.

The author finishes by very explicitly saying do your own thing your way. Moreover, they suggest they're not happy using systems that they find understanding obscure/a burden.

I suggest reading beyond the opening paragraph.
Exactly. This is well said and sums
Up exactly what I was trying convey and failing to.
Not that I disagree, but that's an etymological coincidence. Very often when two quite different concepts have a similar word it's a matter of Latin or Greek vs Old English roots and this is an example. Monetary rent comes eventually from Latin reddere meaning "to give back". Back from there it's Proto-Indo-European.

Rent as in a tear comes via Middle and Old renten/renden and back to Proto-West Germanic and then it goes cold.
Then go out and get you some land and build a house. You’re not entitled to take someone else’s.

Remind me again who the USSR was fighting against in WWII?
It will be a lot less than a decade if you're happy to live at UBI level of income. If you clear 50k and only need 10k that's just over 5 years.

I get your point, it requires some effort, but it's not that much.
We should be embarrassed. And someone (i.e., so called leadership) should be held accountable. To top it off there's a rung or two below this. That is, people who can't afford a car and/or food.

And yet the lede story out of Washington DC for the past two to three weeks concerns the Speaker of the House and how that is crippling the legislative process. Who know it could get worse? Next we'll be back to budget and debt ceiling circus. And so on...

We taxpayers should be furious. Oh wait! Plenty - and growing - already are!!
I learned the other day that the developer(s ?) of uBlock origin don't even accept donation. That's a really dedicated behavior for someone owning on app installed on probably a million devices, that could make money in an instant if he wanted to.
Haiti: Where aid delivery depends on talking to 300 gangs
Nobody ever blames the building codes until the either educate themselves or try to build a house.

Then you realize just how difficult it is to build. It takes just as long as the build sometimes and costs thousands and thousands upfront just to get to the point where you can start.

We need a streamlined process that allows standardized housing to be built with minimal upfront costs and on small affordable lots.

ADUs are up to 1200sq feet — for most people this is a whole dang house not an accessory dwelling unit.

Want to see how easy improvement could be made? Imagine if you could write off 50-70 percent of the total cost of an ADU over 15 years as long as it’s rented out to no more than 3 tenants during each year — and eliminated the ability of cities and counties to block their development as long as they fit on the lot. You’d have a massive increase in affordability in just a few short years.

It’s the laws and the zoning that are the problem. You’re spot on.
I'm not supporting the parasitic nature of landlords.

But the right to own land is an essential part of a functioning society. The idea that no one should be able to own land is ridiculous and does not work. There are plenty of examples of this all across the globe.
High levels of inflation are also harmful. +/- ~0.3% per month is fine, outside of that range and you’re hurting adoption.

> an economic crisis at the time

In non fiat currencies you also get deflation from economic growth. Where you can study the effect is when the growth occurs outside of a given economy. Again, outside of my expertise it’s just something I have read.
“Basically a taxi service,” except that Uber spans hundreds of cities, coordinates millions of drivers - none of whom work on a fixed schedule - and its only interface with customers is an app that has to be fast, accurate, and reliable at all times.
He's a conference organiser who got an inflated ego. This tweet wasn't nefarious but his post history is so opinionated that this was bound to happen.
Well when put like that, sounds like a terrible conversation piece for socials events, particularly when an 1/3 to 2/3rds belong to the group being griped about. Especially when the gripee is seemingly not even part of that group.

It’s like standing in a group talking and then going: “hey this topic reminds me about how a third of you people, which I’m not one of, do this and this bad thing, isn’t that annoying?! Haha you people”
If you believe that, how does it change your behavior?
Price is relative. That could be Los Altos, California. Which is very nice, walkable with garages, great parks and outdoors, but not what most people would call affordable. :)
I don't think Digit actually has hands/fingers. So it may not be an immediate threat.

But Amazon does have prototypes for the main packing job, doesn't it? Or at least research robots that can do part of it.

I feel like it only be another year or two and then all the Amazon warehouse jobs will be automated.

One interesting thing is if you look at Amazon's recent press release about automation, they keep stressing how much all of it is just helping the workers, etc. They won't be able to keep saying that for too much longer.
Yes. It's the first time I've successfully replaced Google search.

Previously, I used DDG but pretty much reflexively g!'d every query.
Bad analogy. Journalists are to facts as landlords are to land.
What you seem to be interpreting the quote as (and likely what it truly is intended to mean) is:

“We have been the good guys in every single war.”

Rather than “ the good guys have won every single war”.

At least in my history books in school growing, my country was framed as the good guys and listed wars we lost.
I think it'll be easier/cheaper to figure out how to economically manufacture carbon-neutral kerosene from renewable energy sources (rather than digging it up out of the ground) and just fly normal airplanes, than it will be to build that mammoth HSR route. And the journey will be much faster too.
> By the time they landed, I was actually pretty disappointed to see the language get classes.

TBF classes are just a layer of syntactic sugar over the (awful) prototypal system (which somewhat sadly few were interested in making better let alone good).

Behind the scenes, they pretty much just create a ctor function and prototype function, except you don't have to mess with the terrible `Object.create` and `.prototype =` nonsense.

Abandoning constructors and going full-on with prototypes would be an other thing entirely, but the reality is that javascript is not very good at it so it's not very fun (except as a proof of concept / investigation of prototype based OO), and pretty much nobody is interested.
Classes are just synthatic sugar over closures anyway. The benefit of OOP classes is that they can be extended. But closure cannot.
I'm puzzled why people are so triggered by the vegan thing.

That's not the point. Or maybe it is, maybe the meat eaters culture war is based on the idea of the virtue of eating meat and they get very angry when someone points out that actual animals are being killed, like cut with a knife then let to bleed out then seperated into pieces and shipped to the consumers in a package that doesn't look like an animal that was minding its own business a few days ago?

I don't go a day without eating meat but I don't get angry at vegans. Can you explain why are you so aggressive towards me? Is it maybe because, as George Carlin says, you don't want to face the reality of eating meat and I annoyed you by mentioning the source of meat?

Why is it so hard to enjoy the pieces of a cow raised and killed(by sticking a knife in its throat, then hung upside down to bleed out) in industrial settings?

Maybe the reason for this is the same as the soft language Carlin criticises?

Maybe the soft language is a great human invention that lets us kill animal for meat, kill people for land and still feel good about it?
How do you figure?

If more houses are built, prices will go down.
That is a thing of distant past. It runs beautifully natively on M1/M2 chips and has no noticeable difference in power consumption vs Safari.
Calculated misery: why airlines want you to be uncomfortable
Would we put foxconn related in the QR code of all apple software etc also ?

I agree with the spirit of what you are saying but this is hardly the solution. I don't think people are against killing of animals, we have been doing this since man was born. What we are against is modern industrial animal farming.
By making more supply (housing units) available in greater variety, at lower cost, and more quickly we can drive down their price and make it possible to satisfy more demand.

Unfortunately a lot of folks think that housing doesn't follow the same simple economic rules that we've observed for all other physical goods. So they don't allow supply and we continue to spiral deeper and deeper into a housing crisis.

If housing were abundant, we wouldn't be reading articles about the rise of living in cars.
There is always Singapore. The US has almost nothing in common with it though
The intention is the output is quite literally your v0. It’s a normal React application, so you’d debug it and build it as such. It’s unlikely you’d take the output and launch right away. You’d probably have other refactoring and modifications first.
Why do you say that? Is it the pricing scheme?
Renting provides mobility and freedom from the burden of property "ownership" (which is really renting from the bank and state). You shouldn't be so quick to let your gleaming idealism sully judgement of otherwise reasonable and prudent financial decisions.
I use Firefox with uBlock Origin on the Mac and it works great, but for Safari the best option I've found is AdGuard (https://adguard.com). However, it is nowhere near as effective as uBlock Origin since Safari did the Manifest V3 thing.
Yes, but also no. The US has a basic fluidity of business. You can build things at home (in your garage, if you have one) and try to sell them and establish a formal business later, if the business justifies the process. For a one person business, there's not really a lot of requirements to formalize a sole proprietor business either: often a local business license (which is mostly guaranteed issue and just a tax collection point), a 'doing business as' filing if not using the person's name, and obtaining a tax id if needed (the IRS will issue one online in minutes, as I understand it), hiring people comes with more requirements.

Being able to start small and informally allows many more businesses to start.
None of them, but I don’t think those are being offered as justifications for violence, but to help explain the rise in prevalence. If you cram more and more people into smaller and smaller spaces, opportunities for conflict are going to increase.

Personally, though, I think it’s more a matter of air travel becoming more accessible. Air traffic doubled in the last two decades. There used to be a lot fewer people flying because there weren’t as many routes and low cost options.
I mean, yeah? Every country uses (if they can) their natural resources to prop up everything. Some better than others (e.g. Norwegian generational fund), some invest basically into every possible thing imaginable (Saudi and Aramco), and Canada does it in just in an average way. Either way, nothing is perfect, things might go for worse, but as of now, it’s a good place for me and others that I know.
>The cultural differences are not any worse, than chasms splitting the US, like go ask someone in Alabama and in New York aboit trans people or whatever.

The Spanish will occasionally celebrate communism. They even have communist party members in the EU. Meanwhile communist symbols in a country like Lithuania are literally illegal. And this isn't some government holdover.

Things like education, childcare and even a general outlook on life is very different between EU countries.
Plank length is not a hard limit the same way speed of light is. Plank length is where we expect our current models to start producing nonsense, though we fully expect that 'things can happen at smaller than plank length'. The expectation is that there exists some future model that produces meaningful predictions at sub-plank length.

Whereas for speed of light, we currently expect no future models to produce meaningful faster than light predictions, and we fully expect to never find evidence of faster than light predictions.
This isn’t at all new. In training as a manager (> 7 years ago) and director even at a smaller company they made it clear my behavior in public may be associated with the company negatively and to be conscious of it. Maybe this guy didn’t get such training or wasn’t paying attention.

That said, I agree, he didn’t need to resign but he may have done so to avoid further negative attention to avoid a Streisand effect.
It is old school in the sense that it is quite pragmatic. It is aimed at Mainstays of engineering like 'did I improve performance in this line' or 'ate these systems giving the same output's or even 'how do.i design an experiment in a really complex system'. And they generally work well.

Just do work using appropriate tools. There are reasons for all sorts of tools, use the right ones.

Reproducibility crisis is mostly about marginal results, publication bias, and humans.behavior. Bayesians can (and do!) The same things. It isn't the tool, it is the people.
Entirely new? At this point it's getting a little long in the tooth, if anything
From the article:

> As we covered exclusively earlier this week, in an extraordinary move, Google went out of its way to block reviewers from being able to easily install popular benchmark apps through its Play Store during the review embargo period. This actually also extended into the post-launch period too, however Google lifted the ban after our article went live. Tests using Primate Labs’ popular cross-platform benchmark Geekbench 6 showed that -- despite having quite new CPU architecture -- Tensor G3 performance is closer to the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 than it is to its current flagship chip the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Behavior of `copyfile` regarding symlinks on Linux and macOS
Wow. At what point do we get Generative Web Apps or Site, full backend and front end.

Make a similar site to Basecamp, Notion, or something much simpler like an Online calculator? So people can bootstrap their App idea without even being a professional programmer?
At least half would. The other half would set up a HOA and start vigorously policing lawn length.
Weird. I get different results. I also get the "Speaker vote" thing, but I can sort of accept that because the words "circle" and "calls" appear in the title. Nothing about the war, though. Instead, there's a bunch of companies with a similar name or product. It also offers me to search to "circle.co" video calls.
At the end of the day, shipping by sea is much more efficient than shipping over land, and the narrow spit of land connecting North and South America has lots of sea access, including car ferries to connect the road networks.

So you wouldn't expect a road connection to be developed if it's super expensive given that this more efficient alternative already exists, and, well, the road connection is super expensive.
The interviewer, Dave Plummer, is also is also an amazingly interesting person in his own right. I particularly enjoyed his retro-coding videos, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlZe2JwrJqM and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0zxIfJJLAY

The videos are really interesting and his background muzak and RGB lighting puts me in a Christmas mood. He generally put Microsoft in a completely different light than I'm used to, he speaks warmly about his job, co-workers and Microsoft, while acknowledging much of the weirdness going on in Redmond.

Only problem is that watching is channel will trigger something in the YouTube algorithm and flood your feed with videos on ADHD. Presumably it has to do with his videos on autism and ADHD, but I feel like YouTube should be smart enough to notice that I didn't watch to videos, only those on coding and Microsoft history.
the biggest drag on the west right now is the excessive amount of resources that we allocate to the elderly. We funnel capital from young people to old to pay for drastically increasing healthcare costs while putting forward minimal effort to ensure young people can start families.

Anecdotally, my family's health insurance (early 30s, 1 child; mostly paid for by my employer; 2k a month) costs more monthly than our mortgage (1600 a month). Not to mention the money that we pay into social security and Medicare.
Odd timing, I was just digging through .tcl scripts for SCID (open source chess database software) as I was trying to figure out how to fix a corrupted SCID .si5 database. One of the games got bunk data in the name field and it is corrupted now. Apparently SCID vs. PC has a magic button to fix this stuff but I did not try.
I like my speedy Amazon deliveries and don't like the grueling conditions, often reported on by the Guardian, that Amazon warehouse workers have to deal with to support that pace. I look forward to the day when automation puts an end to that.

You have to give it up to our feudalistic lords, they managed to develop a system that succeeds in preventing the peasants from uprising.
I live in my car. It's awesome.

Oddly enough, I live in an even older Ford Fusion and it's really easy. Spend time at the Library, Starbucks and get a gym membership for showering. I work full-time and don't dick around with washing dishes or anything. Got an inverter and think of my car as a generator with wheels.

I took out my front passenger seat so I can lay down to sleep. Made it through the summer in the south and it was pretty bad, but you sleep while your body sweats and you deal with mosquitos and flies on the regular.
Private and readonly properties are 100% possible on classes, and you don't even need the newfangled private property syntax! You can roll it your own easily, and all you need is WeakMap. Unfortunately nobody seems to understand what weak maps are for...

Here's the example code: https://gist.github.com/conartist6/95f5be3488b2ae6c0dfd9a886...
What alternative for meta search engines are there? I know about DDG and SearX (and SearX-NG). I don't really care of the bangless search quality because most times I have a particular website in mind to search (and when I don't I alternate between Google, Yandex and Bing, depending on content)
Supply would absolutely help with the problem, but it's not sufficient.

To discourage speculation, governments should impose land value tax, but not property tax, to encourage efficient use of land. You'll also need to pair with other reform, like changing how zoning should be done, how transportation is planned, and so forth.

Kagi is fantastic. I rarely use anything else now. Mostly if I’m on a browser I have yet to configure.

I’m surprised I normally stay within the $5 plans limits, but when I’m regularly above I’ll gladly bump to the next tier.
She points out many things that would help and yet I am unsure by how much. There is only so much land in and around most major cities. Anything “affordable” with access to desirable things will not remain so for long. The most likely outcome in my mind is endless tracts of poorly thought out suburban development, more reliance on cars and less on public transit, thus exacerbating other problems. Yes SF has some special and critical issues but demand to live in and around the city will always outstrip supply. There are a few places that have tried to do suburban city planning well, but even if you buy into a walkable neighborhood with jobs, who stays put at a job for more than a few years? Most people will still want new opportunities that will put them back in their cars.

I would love to think that remote work will solve some of this, but myself and many others do not find that fulfilling or sustainable in the same way as even being in the office 2-3 days a week. RTO is increasingly becoming a trend, which I personally find unfortunate but can understand.

We can and should get rid of some dated zoning restrictions and ineffective leaders but it’s not going to be a panacea by any means.
For the same reason, they are forbidden in MobX.
Hello underscore!

And thank god for TypeScript compiler's private keyword! While... I can see how this plethora of possibilities looks confusing.
I love TipTap, easy to use and setup even with Rails. I wrote an internal gem (that I should publish) where I can generate TipTap document JSON/HTML from the Rails side of things as well.
