Georgism is simply one of those ideas that has changed how I look at the city around me. After reading that primer, I recommend looking around your city with fresh eyes, noticing how many vacant shops, mostly empty parking lots, and underutilized spaces blight otherwise productive (and expensive) urban cores.

A lot of gen Z slang is actually AAVE, often from ten years+ prior but recently getting adopted by others via social media and games (that neither I nor most of you I suspect frequent). I only tangientally hear about it via Reddit.

Parental control. Spotify has basically no QC on uploaded podcasts, and it is filled with video podcasts with stupid TikToks, porn disguised as "ASMR", and lots of garbage used for money laundering.
This has been the biggest feature keeping me on Spotify.

Tidal sorta has a connect feature, but I've found it to be really buggy (often wouldn't play or wouldn't tell the remote control device what is playing) and not as widely supported.

Apple Music is even worse since tends to rely on AirPlay, which murders quality and requires the remote to stay on the same network as the player.
I think that points have a correlation with votes but other things probably contribute to points in addition to votes.
it would be reductive to chalk up the sound of the 80s to any one synth. Especially when the Fairlight was responsible for a number of iconic songs:

Crypto has use on the fringes of civilisation, which includes both horrible people and people in horrible circumstances. That undermines any argument for its use by a state, by the definition of a nation-state at the centre of its nation. The only reason for a state to use crypto is so its leaders can engage with the fringe, i.e. criminally.

> The fuzz in most guitar amps is the hard saturation that transistors do.

Most guitar amps in what sense? Most guitar amp units shipped? Probably the biggest volume there is amateurs.

> recreate some sounds from the 40s-60s.

Try 40s-90s-00s--...?

Tubes are commonly used right for tones right up to the heaviest metal. It's common for some solid state driving device to be used, like an overdrive pedal. That doesn't necessarily provide any needed gain, but rather shapes the clean tone, which has an effect on what kind of distortion you get.

(Ironically, one difference between "old school" metal and "modern" metal that amps used in modern metal have more tubes: like three 12AX7's in the preamp rather than two. Nothing needs another vacuum tube more than "modern"!)

In other words, the use of tubes in rock guitar continued to evolve well into the 1990s. So tubes are the key to authentically reproducing the sounds heard in 90s and later metal, not just 40s through 60s.

Which is not to deny that solid state devices aren't used for distortion, either as driving elements for tubes or alone.
Transcending Marc Andreessens's Manifesto
> it was allegedly "dangerous" because it "could loop infinitely". Well, ehh, that's the case with any lop innit? That's kind of how they work?

No? You can clearly have loops that exit. Loops that can be infinite should only be so where you really want that to happen in those cases / are fine with it. "Infinitely until the user does X with no timeout" is a fair one.
Even though you have clear boundaries between microservices, the source code is likely possible to be reused by other services. You probably have common setup (like config loaders, logging and auth) and, depending on the use case, probably also parsers and data reading features that would be duplicated or put in an external libraries.

Yes, Microservices is about boundaries, data and the organizational structure. But there is code that makes these things happen and much of that can be reused.
Indeed that's what comes to mind: it would make you life a bit easier if you're trying to do web scraping with content analysis. And that's what search engines are, I suppose.
I was using Apple Classical happily for ~1 month, then it stopped working. It would load all the metadata and let me browse around but when trying to play a song it wouldn't progress.

I restarted my phone, reinstalled the app, went through several iterations of iOS updating, the problem never went away. No other app, including Spotify, has this issue on my phone. After a month of paying for Apple Music without Classical working I shrugged and unsubscribed. Big loss for me, and for them, since I am exactly their target audience with Apple Classical.
Why is it so hard?
However, since voice mail isn't common where I live, I also get all communication through text. Most systems send out texts. It's how I communicate with the plumber, my dentist etc. Basically never talk over phone with anyone.
Lovely. "A place that doesn't have the problems Georgism is designed to solve is planning to test Georgism." That's going to make it close to a meaningless experiment.

> A universal basic income, that is an income which is _universal_ and _fixed_ in its amount, will only create inflation: everyone gets equal additional money, everyone gets additional purchasing power, everyone creates more demand, prices go up.

Not really, it will also redistribute wealth.

Let's say I have $1000 and you have $100. If we get additional $100 each, your purchasing power would now be 2/11 of mine instead of 1/10, even with prices adjusted for inflation.

I'm not advocating for UBI though – stronger economy is the more sustainable solution here.

At this rate of poisoning the brand, it's almost time to take-the-money-and-run.
It has to do with the relative spending velocity of the economic quintiles. The top quintile spends their money much slower and often just move it between their cohort. lower 3 quintiles spend their money quickly, and historically locally. Reagan started the shift away from taxing the most wealthy and the lower and middle classes have stagnated. Yes technology has pushed things worse with income distribution but the tax policies of the GOP administrations have worsened it greatly.

You are conflating use of the phrase "from the river to the sea..." with support for Hamas. The phrase has been used in many ways, and depending on the context, could have different meanings:

Benjamin Netanyahu himself was using a map that espoused a "river to the sea" vision of Israel at the UN. [1] A different version "between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty" was a founding ideological tenet of Israel's Likud party (which Netanyahu represents), though it has subsequently been dropped. [2][3]

[2] https://www.thenation.com/article/world/its-time-to-confront...
[3] https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/09/us/politics/river-to-the-...

One could reasonably support a free Palestine without advocating support for Hamas, or support for violence against Jewish people.

Can you please elaborate on what you mean by "if you look at UCLA"? That is merely a suggestion of something, without an argument, much less evidence.
Animation is the worst use case for motion interpolation because the frames are individually drawn and timed by the animators to achieve a particular look and feel.
I remember an example from another nuclear site cleanup. If you work on a part potentially contaminated you cannot used a normal vacuum cleaner that will disperse some contaminated dust, so you need a special purpose device. Then you cannot dispose easily of the dust, so you need another process. Since the device is also critical you probably need some regular maintenance or tests, so you need someone to manage them.

So basically every single step is much more complex with the associated cost.
The government printed the money. They are the issue. Corporations compete with each other for survival, they cannot afford to be altruistic and expecting them to be is totally naive

All of the spam calls that are an annoyance to me are clearly spoofed numbers from my home area code.

That’s impersonation.

I know they are spoofing numbers because my own numbers gets spoofed as well. Real people call me back and leave voicemails saying I’m the one who called them.

None of this is standard advertising.
Here's a workflow:

1. Normally I run everything on my own devices, use 1Password, 2FA, etc, but rarely I need to use a locked down device and manually and painstakingly enter 100+ character passwords and 2FA keys. Installing anything on the device is out of the question, but I need to use a web browser and auth using these credentials. Copy and paste and externally using any devices to connect with the system is prohibited.

Basically, low FPS can be a stylistic choice, and making up new frames at playback time often completely butchers some of the nuances present in good animation.

Your average Joe can listen to radio completely anonymously on a device which the government has no control over.

I did this by adding every SQL query to a new log file (only active in development), then tailing it while developing. Not only is 1+N very visible as a long string of the same query over and over, it also lets you see in real time when there's a long pause from a query taking longer than expected.

Also we often had something that was more like 1+3N, basically a 1+N problem but it was looping through the same 3 queries over and over.
I've often felt we need an abstraction for just this. "Bring your own storage" so that you can sign up and provide a "bucket", then the service will read/write to that. I think the difficulty lies in all the discrepancies between different storage mechanisms and normalizing the SLA there. If Dropbox is down, and your user is on Dropbox, you'll need a way to communicate that their particular "storage" is offline. The trade off is likely worth it - that is being in full control of your data and having a data export "for free" is worth it to a lot of folks.

OpenDAL was on HN recently and would be a pretty decent abstraction to use for this: https://github.com/apache/incubator-opendal
This reads to me like "the darn developers are spending too much time not laser-focused on business impact and keep bikeshedding and doing make-work!"

It's impossible to tell if this is what's happening though. It can really go either way.

I've seen orgs where the perf-review meat grinder is driven so tight that engineers are essentially punished/PIPd for doing things that NEED to happen even if they aren't sexy business impact. Like upgrading library versions (not all of them, just the core/most important ones!) so you don't wake up one day and realize you're on a 6 year old version of a core library/framework. Even remediating incidents was treated as "not impactful work". This resulted in the expected shitstorm and teams were literally churning employees because oncall was so bad and just doing anything was so awful, and it took a staff engineer's guile just to get an otherwise-relatively-simple project over the line because you had to be a ninja just to navigate the awful existing mess of 10 years' worth of laser-focus on business impact.

And I've seen orgs where the engineers run rampant, doing random side-quests constantly, junior engineers run amok over-architecting every project with all of the skills their CS degrees gave them, senior engineers make magnum opuses of medium-sized projects, and principal engineers pontificate and aid and abet any and all architecture-astronauting that anyone else in the org does. And naturally none of it was done in any way shape or form in coordination with product.

And naturally there's everything in between. So whether they have a healthy amount of focus on non-sexy work and wish they were neglecting it more to reap shorter-term product-focused gains, or they have too much bikeshedding and they want to be more product-focused, it is difficult to say.

(Naturally the cynic in me says it is probably the former, though...)
> in theory you're only going to do this exercise twice in a decade.

So I've seen things like this in corporations many times and it typically works like this...

Well trained team sets up environment. Over time team members leave and only less senior members remain. They are capable of patching the system and keeping it running. Eventually the number of staff even capable of patching the system diminishes. System reaches end of life and vendor demands upgrading. System falls out of security compliance and everything around it is an organizational exception in one way or another. Eventually at massive cost from outside contractors the system gets upgraded and the cycle begins all over again.

Not being able to upgrade these systems is about the lack of and loss of capable internal staff.
In many markets there is a gross lack of housing overall. It makes sense that owners paying attention will raise BOTH house prices and rents. There is not enough for sale AND there is not enough for rent. A larger investor can be BOTH more patient when selling and renting AND more realistic when adjustments need to be made.

Unfortunately in american systems, there is one delyaing effect: property companies seem to be able to borrow based on the nominal rent for their units - even if they can't find renters at that rate. (Which is why you often see "months free" rather than lower rent). This can delay market pricing changes by quite a bit - at least if you are not ready to move often.

IMO you should never provide feedback that can be implemented as an automated check. If you don't like deeply nested control flow, then you should catch that with static analysis. If you need code coverage, you should require it for merging. Implement your check and provide a new PR to fix your nitpicks, or shut up. The goal is to put 100% of the focus on correctness.
When I was preparing for a trip south, I noticed that the southernmost city (according to itself), Ushuaia is south of 54 degrees latitude, while Copenhagen is nothing like the northernmost city yet is about 55 degrees north.

This is a way of amplifying that plenty of people live north of other people. Whole countries.

If it truly a matter of readability, then it really isn't a nitpick. If it is a matter of "I think doing X is slightly better than doing Y, and if you start doing X rather than Y, that would improve things somewhat", then it is a nit.

To put it this way, you should use Kotlin vals with get methods with getters rather than fun getXXX() functions, but this is controversial, so I always suggest it as a nit (Nit: maybe use val xxx get() = ... rather than fun getXXX() = ...).
I think there is a such thing as “bad code” but not low quality code. Bad code can be detected by automated tooling and be improved through simple refactoring.

I don't understand how that is relevant to the question I asked. Are you suggesting that no one can be experts on disinformation because different people have different view on what is true? Sounds a bit silly to me. Is the earth flat or more shaped like a globe?
The Netherlands does not have that many houseboats. Amsterdam is famous for them sure, but the city is not handing out any more permits and afaik has no plans to.

Reclamation could be interesting in a limited number of circumstances but realistically we would be better served by improving transit inland. Even in Europe, there is a ton of room for improvement to connect rural areas to cities which would alleviate much of the burden that people feel to live closer to work and commerce.

I wish CEOs would resign when layoffs happen. It should be like some governments where the whole cabinet resigns. If layoffs are a necessity, then the CEO and the top management should show the example and take responsibility for taking the company into the wrong direction, leading to layoffs. That would be fair and more understable than a "thank you for your hard work and commitment".
Why don't you just put your Kubernetes in Kubernetes? Containers solve everything re: dependency management, right?
Where do you see the harm in the solution?

To your other point, I think this is a valid use-case and do not agree with your rejection. I have had experience with such very examples and submitted PRs to add `realpath` to fix them. One example, a linting app I installed put itself in `/usr/local/<linter-name>/bin/<linter-executable>`. It was really painful to type this full path every time (even with tab completion). I created a symlink from `/usr/bin/` to the executable, and voila, the command is on my path now and easy to use; except the script does not expect itself to be a symlink and broke. To work around this, I created an actual script in `/usr/bin` that could invoke the utility (which then worked because it did properly detect path at least with $0). I don't think that extra script should have been necessary. Further, if I only updated my path, then `dirname $0` fails (returns '.') and that was not even a solution.

Second question, as a counter-point, couldn't someone also reject the expectation that scripts should work when invoked from any path at all? That is saying, as a script writer, when you file a bug report, I can respond "closed, this script requires a `cd` to the install directory and only then can be run. RTFM!". At what point is this just ignoring UX?
That isn't necessary—I rolled back the clock on the other submission and added enough upvotes that it would be on the front page. (Not quite as high as it was before, but that's standard moderation for any sensational-indignant kind of story.)

Not in the US. In the US, commercial lending is short term. There is no easy way to lock in low interest rates. Compared to long term for homeowners. But a bank or insurance company setting up a real estate portfolio may be willing to settle for a low cash return.
