It really bothers me that quite a few cities want to address homelessness by shipping them to California on taxpayer dollars and then California is given a hard time for not housing them all. California really needs to be building a database and only serving Californias who have become homeless and helping get the others back to their home states. There is no moral obligation to give somebody who took a bus from Oklahoma for free a home in some of the most expensive cities in the country.

Do people realize how difficult it is for normal person to move across the USA? I did it before, it was expensive and a difficult move. Housing is a problem and it’s sad that moving cross country will continue to become less and less accessible to people who could provide California economy a nice boost

As OP I agree that government has no business getting involved in these debates. But don’t you think insulting and ridiculing religious people, including those who agree with you on the general issue, is a bit much? You’re not really helping your cause by alienating those folks.

I disagree.

A family could be supported by a single income up until a few decades ago, not just in the US but in many countries.

Today, often two incomes aren't enough for a family, even with families getting smaller since people tend to have less children.

> They chose to embrace a razor-blades model-- they sold their soul chasing the consumer market.

I really don't know what you'd expect from a publicly traded company other than to go after where the profit is at. At least in the 2000's through 2010's HP consumer products made the most money off of low end devices via toner sales. I'd argue that they were following the market and the tech savvy consumer is not their target audience anymore.
In fairness, there are many other states with lower generation prices than CA and that don’t have weird grid failures like TX. Those two states both seem nuts to me, especially given how many natural energy resources they’ve been gifted with.
I am glad Zach posted here also, I think nostr devs need some reality pull from "non-crypto normies". To be clear it is (hopefully) becoming more common practice to use a nip-07 web-extension for signing (hardware or software) or other methods such as NIP-46. To be clear though, a user on nostr will HAVE to interact with cryptography in some way as every message on the network is signed.

Im working on https://github.com/VnUgE/NVault as an option for more paranoid users that want a self hosted networked approach. But there are others listed here https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/07.md

Finally, I wholly dislike the practice of offering an option of entering an nsec. Use a signing extension!

The fact that it's an asset doesn't mean its value is proportional to the number of lines that are there. Similarly a house is an asset, but not all 1000 sq ft houses are worth the same amount of money.

I agree and I wouldn't hold them against Waymo, but I think when you are developing a self driving car, you should stop analysing it like a crash between two humans with fault and blame, and start looking at it like a system.

If Waymos were having a seriously increased rate of non-fault crashes, that would still be a safety issue, even if every crash was ultimately a human's fault.

I'd like to see a client with a set of features to enable manual feed curation. I think it's possible with maybe just two missing features:

1. Mark as read: the ability to mark posts, threads, or followed users as read. Your feed only shows unread stuff. Threads would become unread if they get new posts in them.

2. Prioritization of Following: You can sort your Following list in any order and unread messages and threads are presented in that order.

I use essentially this method with my work Slack, which has a "sorted like your sidebar" option for the Unreads. I have a bunch of folders for different priority channels and individuals, with my immediate team, reports, and boss and the topics I work on at the top, various company wide stuff at the bottom, and a some of grades in between containing channels for my department and partners. As soon as I set it up this way it improved my Slack productivity and I started wishing I could sort Mastodon and Twitter this way.
Yes, that is obviously true. Both points.

The problem lies in presenting your fact to other people.

Theres a very surface level way to do it which is "me fact. smash fact into ur hed. now ur fact. gronk smash"

Another is to actually attempt to be persuasive, to build curiosity, to let the reader step in for a moment into your mind, where they can pick up a gem they might not have in their own life experience, and directly apply it. What does this person know that i do not? what is he considering that i am not?

Its a subtle approach, that is nuanced.

It isnt extremely blunt, as if your only way to build curiosity is to state blunt facts as truths, hoping that people either agree and click to validate opinions, or disagree and generate a bunch of comments saying "youre wrong".

This in itself wouldn't be so bad, but its just legitimately the most NOT creative, MOST generic way to do it. It's the "salt" of headlines. If any person has any self respect for their writing I suspect they wouldn't want to serve the most important meal of their lifetime using the only ingredient as salt.

You can just look at the huge swaths, oceanic waves of generic "THIS IS A FACT" headlines. Its so fucking painful at this point, that I immediately reject them in the same way that I reject ads and news.

It has nothing to do with the person's actual opinion, it has nothing to do with even the fact that the headline is written as a fact (which in itself is a useful device sometimes), its that 10 million other headlines do it. It's like the lowest form of headline, and it is as unoriginal as it gets. and THAT is what painful, unoriginal people being unoriginal yet still doing it. Perhaps they do not care, I do not know.

There are absolutely better/more creative ways to build curiosity though.

A good example is viral youtube videos... I can't think of any viral youtube headlines that are written in this way. A good headline takes serious thought and creativity. Imagine if every youtube video was just stated as "Code is Not Technical debt", and the next video "code is technical debt" and the next video "code is life" and the next video "code is death"......... super yawn

There is not a 100% one size fits all system. There are too many cultures and beliefs, and different people to think that one system is going to get 100% of the people. 0.2% isn't horrible. Could be better and with advancements hopefully we get better but we need to allocate our resources in priority and there are a lot of issues that are going to get priority above this issue.
Yes, the person who packages up a loop to make patents, get a patent for that loop and anything else it produces, right?

Move this to the "Autonomous vehicle" line of thought. IF we accept the risks of a vehicle without a driver, how do we accomodate the _culpability_ of that risk?

Same thing in patent law. Someone needs to hold that "culpability". Maybe there'll be a robust future systems of laws that assigns the correct weightings, but it's not today.
I have a Garmin with an OLED display and I usually have to charge it once a week or so. The GPS is by far the biggest power consumer. During activity tracking with the GPS turned on the battery lasts maybe 10 hours. It doesn't feel like a change in display technology would meaningfully change that situation.
UAE inaugurates desalination plant near Rafah to send clean water to Gaza
this debate reminds of kitchen appliances. what makes an appliance a burden or not is how much cognitive load is takes (space taken, where is it stored, how to take apart and clean, how to use, etc..)

and how much value it provides. (time saved, quality produced, aesthetics)

sometimes it's "debt" when it costs more than it's value produced but this is can be highly dependent on how often it's used. (space taken is a large fixed cost)

with code, the space is "infinite" so there's a lot of clutter like "pineapple corer for those with a diameter between 5cm and 10m, corer for those with exactly 12cm, bannana nutella injector, etc.."

combine this tension with a changing environment and output requirements (one week steakhouse, next is chinese food, etc...) and everything starts to feel like a pile of crap

going "smaller" alleviates this problem b/c a lot of specialized tools are designed for scale. one steak and one chow mein doesn't justify a salamander broiler or a wok
Last time I checked, the bay are was mostly single-storey homes.

You could probably house 10 times as much people on the same land if you bought 6 storey apartment blocks.

Land is finite, but upzoning it still reduces the cost of a square meter of floor space.

I agree with you that the value of real estate is : building + land.

While the building deprecates, the value of the land is going up. But this can at least be dampened by upzoning and by taxing land value.
Sounds like a false equivalence. No one is saying you need to be a social butterfly.

> The most successful engineers and researchers I know personally; are not particularly social people

I've seen plenty of capable or at least promising engineers torpedo their development by not being to read the room or adjust their social behavior.

Ok, so having the skills is considered a baseline? Sounds like they're pretty important then.
nVidia at least has a product to show for it. Meta has Horizon Worlds and what? I guess the Quest headsets are included? It’s hard to figure out what Meta spent all that money on.
Why would a Vp of sales, who’s presumably in another part of the country, give in to the demands of a mayor of one of the towns their stores are in and fire a manager? That sounds far fetched to me.
Yeah no, Bezos net worth alone is more than all the money the US goverment has given to Ukraine, and the money given to Ukraine and for financial and humanitary is a complex and subjetive issue because many believe it helps the US itself in the long term due helping mantain stability in Europe, some belive otherwise of course, its a complex issue for sure but nowhere similar to billionaires which are just citizens and money hoarders.
Totally agree, it has been fun to follow, but I really don't hope that this stunt destroys for the awesome product Beeper Cloud is. As an European user I couldn't care less about blue and green bubbles, all of my communication goes through FB messenger or Snap, only exception is the occasional SMS from old relatives without other platforms.

Pharmacists access drug records as a double check against doctors prescriptions. They look for drug interactions, call out side affects, etc. Their role provides important value so it would be difficult to design a system where they can access the info they need but law enforcement can’t request from (without a change to corporate policy/etc)
I and, coincidentally and separately a long-time friend, were homeless for a year while undergraduates. It was a financial necessity to stay in school full time (while working part-time) and not take out student loans. That was over 40 years ago. We both went on get Ph.D.s and become part of the middle class. As homeless students we were a rarity, but it wasn't unheard of--a former roommate student camped out of his car for half a year--just couldn't give up that car.
I'm a software engineer, I have a couple brothers in permaculture design, one is a gunsmith, and the rest are too young to be sure yet.

Plenty of shared knowledge, like gunsmithing is a hobby of mine, but he took it seriously. Still no real "pods".

I'd classify us as classically educated. We had somewhere around 5000 nonfiction books in the house, and most of us had read a significant chunk of them. Nobody has a bachelor's, but I suspect that'll change with some of the younger ones who are more patient.

Edit:

Some of us did do real school. I paid my way through an Associate's degree at 13 because I was bored. Also online classes, apprenticeships, stuff like that.
A buried flywheel storage system would accomplish this, they're just prohibitively expensive at the moment. Vehicle-to-grid will be big once it catches on and consumers get over the idea of adding cycles to their vehicle batteries.

For some reason the standing charge is a bit less too.
The actual data indicates that while gestational anemia is a significant problem, it doesn't impact most US women. The majority of US residents get adequate dietary iron, and prenatal vitamin supplements also contain iron. The problem is more severe in developing countries.

I am once again asking you to consider plasma gasification. Here is my standard comment, copied again:

---

Why are we still not talking about plasma gasification? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gasification

As far as I can tell, the only real "disadvantages" if you can call them that, are:

1. more expensive than throwing the garbage in a big pile somewhere

2. need to clean it from time to time

3. not necessarily a profitable business

Other than that, it can handle just about anything that's not radioactive, can be designed to produce 0 toxic byproducts, and can run at or at least only slightly below energy neutral. Plasma gasifiers can also consume a huge amount of garbage for their size, so much so that the US Navy is starting to put them on the latest generation of aircraft carriers.

Not building out more gasifiers seems to me a failure of the free market. Because it's hard to make it profitable, no one is doing it - when really we should just be building one or two near every major city and funneling all our garbage there.

In theory, we could build out enough to start working through all the landfills too.

---

ADDENDUM:

* This is NOT the same as incineration. Plasma gasification does not produce toxic gases vented to atmo, etc. The main byproducts are "syngas", which is mainly H2 and CO and can be reused to power the facility, and slag.
I agree with you on the pricing. I'm a Tailwind UI customer and have found it more than worth the money.

That said, it is disappointing to see recent work all tied to React. I generally prefer Phoenix LiveView (or Rails + Hotwire, etc) over a React/Angular/Vue approach. By tying it to React, they destroy most the value this kit would have otherwise had to me.

They already earned my money, though. I still enthusiastically recommend Tailwind UI to people.
Given the speed of the rock, it's difficult to conceive of how this theoretical action would even marginally change the course of an asteroid large enough to be worried about. It'd be like blowing on a hypersonic missile that is larger than a building.
I definitely use his blog to be thoughtfully informed when it matters. As a 40ish startup guy myself I take on many roles, including helping set product and technology strategies. But I also need to work in the weeds most of the time and don't often have the opportunity or headspace to just ponder the big picture, so having someone else inject perspective at the right time can be very useful. Thus I tend to read Bens work in huge gulps as a new project kicks off, grabbing as much perspective as possible to feed a new initiative with ideas that have evolved and simmered over time.

Moreover, being able to think at a strategic, systems level about the technology landscape is a trained mindset and it helps to have sources of inspiration accordingly. Reading the work of people who think in ways you also wish to be able to think seems like good training for your mental muscles. Like all commentary and advice you learn to keep what you think is relevant and supplement it with your own information and ideas, but having the framework and the examples can absolutely push your further, faster.
Yeah, I think so. The technology will become cheaper, better, more accessible, and they'll be well-poised to take advantage of it.
I think this is the idea behind blinkist.com

I used to get it as perk with my company and it wasn't an in depth analysis or anything but it covered the bases for such books in a way that felt useful
> Which practically means unanimous agreement is needed among all relays in order to moderate anything.

No, it means that the people will tend to congregate around the relays that work according to what they expect/want to see.

You are thinking from the assumption that things are only acceptable if total compliance is enforced. Even on the highly-controlled and regulated Internet there is still abhorrent content out there, why would you expect that from the alternative?

The interesting question is: do you think that the majority of people don't see this side of the internet because of how effective the centralized control and policing is, or just because the majority of people are not interested in seeing this content in the first place?

I have no kids, and due to my medical circumstances will probably never have them.

As I get older there seems to be more and more Death around. Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles are getting older and Dying. Having more people expanding the family, becoming alive and growing is just better for the psyche. So I can see the appeal of having a lot of kids.
I remember DayQuil being a lifesaver when I was in college in the early 00's and I needed to power through a day of classes with a bad cold. Then I remember at some point in the later 00's it just didn't work anymore (turns out they switched normal decongestant meds to phenylephrine in 2006). Once I found that out I started buying the behind-the-counter stuff with pseudoephedrine and it suddenly worked again. Not sure you need to be a pharmacist to figure this stuff out.

A year ago I had an eardrum suddenly and randomly rupture (probably due to an infection I never felt before it happened) and after it healed a bit, my ENT told me that I should take it before a flight just to be sure to open the eustachian tubes.

Oddly a few days later I overheard pilots in the airport lounge talking about times their eardrum ruptured due to a cold or something. It’s an injury that’s not uncommon for them.

Now I pop one before a fight every time just to be safe. If you’ve never had an eardrum rupture let’s just say it isn’t fun.
Those providers already don't use email addresses as their primary key: their login APIs all allow you to get access to an underlying ID of the user (I say "an" as, in the case of Facebook at least, they no longer give you the global one but map you to an application-specific one, to prevent 3rd party apps doing correlation).
