Regulation does not solve externality problems. It makes them worse. For example, the government's increasing regulatory requirements for ethanol in fuel (of which this is an example) cause food to be more expensive and have caused food shortages (because corn is grown to make ethanol instead of for food). Yes, air pollution is a concern, but people who are starving for lack of food don't live long enough for air pollution to be a health concern for them. And nobody asked them whether they were OK with the government making that tradeoff.
Still using my 2006 iPod. I've replaced the battery (easy, $8) and replaced the hard drive with an SDXC adapter which bumped the capacity from 80GB to 256GB.

Such a great device. My car knows how to control it so I mostly just leave it in the car. Also great on airplanes, with the card conversion it has many hours of battery life.

Amazing how every comparable device made today is so much worse.

That doesn't mean that zoning can never change, or that someone is suddenly due a 6-figure check because land they don't own has been rezoned to allow people to live on what was once a patch of grass.

"Rugpull" implies that they were told or under the impression it would always be SFH and they'd have the ability to deny its change unilaterally, which is not and has never been the case.

If you live in a SFH in a subdivision on a quiet road, next to a large piece of undeveloped land, that's desirable property. But the fact that it's desirable now doesn't guarantee it will be desirable at any point in the future, and you don't have any say in what happens to that undeveloped land unless you own it.
I wish I have the same problem :)
I worked at enough companies to see that many of them have some notion of "centralized config that's rolled to the edge and can be updated at runtime".

I've done this with djb's CDB (constant database). But I've seen people poll an API for JSON config files or dbm/gdbm/Berkeleydb/leveldb.

This can extend to other big red buttons. It's not that elegant but I've had numerous services that checked for the presence of a file to serve health checks. So pulling a node out of load balancer rotation was as easy as creating a file.

The idea is that then when there's a datab outage the system defaults to serving the last known good config.

Zoning needs to be logical. Not allowing any residential in commercial is ridiculous for instance. We had homes above businesses for longer than we haven't and dropping them was a mistake.

Industrial restrictions are fine. Commercial restrictions could be okay if we allowed anything within walking distance of most homes.

It isn't that zoning laws are bad it is that the current set don't match what we should be planning for.

Making up examples where you could piss someone off on purpose is pointless and avoids actually engaging on my point.

Why does something you could gain but never actually valued something you should be paid for.

In many cases people simply block because "there will be more traffic" as if they have a right to a certain amount of traffic.

You can gain benefits for free but stop pretending society needs to pay you to remove those benefits.

On the topic of culture: gentrification has been ignored so I don't care fundamentally.

Mostly "culture" is just a new form of redlining "I don't want to be near poor people they are gross".

I count that as "speaking up". GP spoke of people who retreat into what seems to be passive silence.

People will still travel long distances, and because American passenger trains aren't of very high quality, they will be driving. The gallons per seat per mile of airliners are way better than basically any car, for example the 747 has 91 Passenger-miles/US gallon. Even some of the better gas cars struggle to get above 30 miles per gallon.

Additionally, its not really a massive win. Air traffic only makes up 8% of less than 30% of American emissions. Cars, on the other hand, make up more than 75% of that same 30%[0]. Switching to aircraft might actually make more sense for the environment.

It's kind of even worse: it's multiple other frameworks nobody needs. Maybe I am mistaken, but it seems like they want you to use their custom non-React UI framework, AND their MVC back-end, AND their custom CSS thing, AND their custom UI thing.

The metastasis of unnecessary frameworks and libraries and stuff to accomplish nothing new continues to plague the NodeJS/JavaScript world. It is by far the worst offender in this regard. I don't get it.

This is brought up often. But you know what?

If China replaces its car park with EVs, heats its buildings with heat pumps etc, then even coal powered that's a massive win.

But in the meantime, renewables (and to a lesser degree, nuclear) continue to chip away at the fossil part of their energy mix. Or at the very least, replace what would have been more fossil use otherwise.

Stanford is corrupt to its core, so none of this is all that unexpected.
Can't add an edit to my own post past the time limit: I was pretty hesitant to add the bit about legislating. I'm not entirely convinced of it myself, but it seems to have been divisive enough to get responses while being interesting enough so that those responses aren't just flat out low quality. For a message board I think that's a win.

I stand by the fact I think this is anti competitive, its the big guy throwing weight around to prevent any little guys from emerging. I think that actively harms innovation, and by extension the consumer.

I know that's how things are and will likely continue to be. On the flip side I don't think it's entirely fair to say "Wow you did so well, but now we have to tie your hands as you're ripped to shreds by the hounds." Success should earn you some type of advantage, but I don't think first past the post should get you permanent immunity. Or if the market is so hard to compete in that it is infeasible for someone else, such that its a natural monopoly we have words for enterprises like that: Utility.

Complicated problem for sure.

Sudowrite, an AI tool for fiction writing, sort of has this philosophy. I interviewed with them and the analogy they used is that they want to “provide the clay so you can mold it”. They generate some basic text for you and then you edit it.
The solution to this has to be done earlier, but it's simple: start a habit of destroying and recreating everything. If you wait to start doing this, it's very painful. If you start doing it at the very beginning, you quickly get used to it, and breaking changes and weird dependencies are caught early.

You can even do this with hardware. It changes how you architect things, to deal with shit getting unplugged or reset. You end up requiring more automation, version control and change management, which speeds up and simplifies overall work, in addition to preventing and quickly fixing outages. It's a big culture shift.
The 83 year olds aren't having dollar bills ground up and pumped into their bloodstream. That money is being paid to doctors, hospitals, medical manufacturers, etc. All of these entities are then going and spending those dollars on the inputs they need. Increasing hospital capacity is as legitimate a thing to spend money on as reducing traffic congestion.

More to the point though, if you spend $20k keeping grandma alive, is she any less alive because that $20k was loaned versus pulled out of her mattress?

GDP is not a measure of how optimally money is being spent, it's just a measure of how much economic activity is going on.

Well just know you're not alone. I hope you got out without killing your passions.

Fwiw, I intend to lead by example. I love researching. I have a long term internship where I even do research (unfortunately not closely tied to my PhD work lol). But since I read math books and research as a hobby, I intend to simply do what I call for (in other comments) and just post to GitHub + Openreview + Arxiv and call it a fucking day. I hope to get others to join me in this paradigm shift. We all fucking rely on arxiv anyways and I'm pretty sure more of us find works via twitter/google scholar/semantic scholar/word of mouth more than we find works via journal/conference listings (twitter post of "just got accepted" counts as former, not latter).

I'm not so sure we need "disruption" as much as we need to just cut off the fucking leeches. The problem was turning school into a business. Thinking that profits align with education of students. But we have no strong evidence that higher ranked schools produce higher quality students, but rather only better connected ones.

Idk, maybe the private sector can disrupt it. But they'd have to perform a pretty similar feat, though there is a monetary benefit. Because the world is disillusioned that Stanford students are substantially better than Boston College students, you can pay the BC student less. In fact, many places do, but the issue is Stanford has a huge fucking media arm so we don't hear about that. They can also stop using number of papers as criteria but rather quality of papers (i.e. use domain experts to hire domain experts. Novel idea, I know...)

I'm just shooting in the dark here. I'd actually like to hear other peoples suggestions. Even if we're just spitballing at this point (I don't think anyone has strong solutions yet, that's okay), we just need to get the ball rolling at this point instead of talking about what a ball's relationship to an apple or the sour more rounder apples that are orange.

Universities could afford to pay more if they redirect funds from paying for "administrator" to paying for instructors and researchers. Or diverting funds from beautification projects. Or from the mass of consulting firms they hire for various things. There is now an average of only 2.5 faculty per administrator at universities and many of the better research universities have ratios closer to 1:1. Really, it's a question of incentives and priorities.

You're comparing lazy researchers in universities with corruption in government. If you don't see the obvious differences in nature and consequence, I'm really not sure what to tell you.

But in case it needs to be said, yeah, we should probably maintain some reasonably-effective process for weeding out unproductive researchers. Again, we had one that wasn't too bad long before the bean-counters ruined research.
In addition to some of the other comments here mentioning whole grain benefits, I remember doing some brief research here and seeing that processed grains like white rice or white bread tend to be inflammatory while brown rice and whole grain bread are anti-inflammatory.

I'm not a professional writer, but as someone with severe ADHD I have battled frequently with my own version of "writer's block". When I'm stuck in this way sometimes small things can make a tremendous difference (positive or negative) in my productivity.

I guess what it comes down to is distractibility. This app seems focused on reducing the distraction of perfectionism: the thoughts of possible improvements to the structure of the current paragraph or feelings that a sentence could've come out better. For me, and I expect for some writers, this type of second guessing may take up a significant amount of the time I've allocated to sit down and write. Especially if there's a lot of external pressure for my work to be of a certain quality, correctness, or completeness.

So while I don't personally use a tool like this, I can see how reducing distractions could raise productivity. And if it I were my livelihood, then even a 20-30% raise in productivity could be well worth installing and learning to use a dedicated piece of software.

Apple has fat binaries, and made Xcode produce them by default, with seamless cross-compilation. AFAIK Windows has nothing like that. There are no fat binaries. Cross-compilation is fiddly and needs to be done manually.

There is a massive difference between developers just needing to press the "Build" button again (with no code or config changes), and requiring developers to manually add support for both architectures the hard way.

Something that occurred to me the other day regarding my own "memories" of times before I was born:

From 1965–Present, the world is in color. The tone shifts a bit, but it's all in color.

1900–1964: Black and white. The world was actually black and white. Sometimes people moved around at a weird frame-rate :)

1800–1899: Color, but very much sepia toned. The whole world was slightly dirty and brownish, but the sky was still blue.

Big Bang–1799: Color, no sepia or nothing.

Of course this is all due to photography and movies. The general lack of both of those before the 20th Century (yeah, I know photography goes back further, but just barely. It wasn't widespread) means whatever images I get from that time period come from paintings and illustrations and written accounts. The sepia I perceive from the 1800s is basically thinking of them in terms of the railroads, westward expansion, etc.

So the result is that when I think about the Roman Empire—when was the last time you thought of that?—I see a richly-colored world like the one we have today. But when I think about WWII, it's all black and white. And the Civil War occurred in a vast, dusty, brownish field.
> Why can't you name it and point to it?

Because my interest in your shifting criteria on whether American communes have “failed”—a subtopic that is itself irrelevant to the point it in turn is supposed to support about Marxism because, again, American communes aren't Marxism in the first place—is limited.

The best example of it "flying" is the evolution of the economic systems of the industrialized world in the direction Marx laid out and away from the system he described as "capitalism" since his time, and particularly from the early-mid-20th Century. Far from a perfect example, but there it is.

Some of this is universal, but much of her story is particular to how US med schools operate: their research faculty tend to be largely soft money in nature, so grant money is even more necessary than in other 'hard money' jobs in non-med school fields. Such a system is destined to fail when geniuses like Kariko pursue risky new territory for which large grants are hard to secure.
