When I arrived in the UK the first thing I needed to do before being able to work is to make an appointment at some government office to get issued a national insurance number (which is like a tax ID) which every employer requires.

So while people don’t carry ID cards, everyone of working age definitely has this ID unless they exclusively work undeclared, off-the-books jobs. So I’m not convinced that the lack of ID cards is some meaningful privacy protection.

Lets say a felon immigrates to germany. their policy is they won't ask. but if they find out you were a felon in the US, at any point in your life, they will immediately deport you. and your life in germany however much you built, is forfeit. yay! at any point in time.

that is not an acceptable risk
Yeah, the local college planners in our city wanted to “discourage” vehicle use, and deliberately had only a few parking lots put in, mostly reserved for faculty of course. What has actually happened is every residential street within 4-5 blocks absolutely choked with vehicles parking on the curbside during the semesters. It’s a shitshow.
Ha, I'm building up a nice little following of tinnitus-havers. Glad it works for you!
because their own work is based on the same copy-paste. those people co-elect and co-opt one another. they're like rotten cops : everyone protects everyone else, because everyone's getting cash in their pockets... most universities are nowadays of very poor quality : they can't stand anyone with an opinion they dont like (if you're a republican you have to hide it or get in serious trouble). they are very low of intelligence because the filter is not set on selecting the best but selecting people with the good politics (left and democrat) and color (the darker, the better).

hah not a bad idea at all, watch out for next months update!
You are basically saying that markets don't work and we should ignore them. If we let developers decide how much parking they can allocate why would they allocate less than would be needed to sell their properties?

By making it less likely that places are further apart for no reason then the need for cars is reduced.
You don't need all of that to have every amenity at a walking distance. I live in the suburbs and I still have almost every amenity walking distance. Do I need 20 restaurants and coffee shops?

A large part of that is inflated health care costs. US citizens have to pay more than twice as much on average. Some services such as ER visits can cost 10x as much. US spends twice as much per capita than UK but get much less from it. Also keep in mind that the amount spent on roads is only a fraction of the total cost of cars in the USA.

A conclusion that could be drawn from your statements is this: it's more okay for teenagers to use heroin instead of social media because it's safer.

I think people and especially teenagers, even "chronically-online" depressed ones on social media, would laugh at this. They're wrong to do so, of course.
$400/month is probably a reasonable average to cover the cost of a car though. Sure a new car will be over $1000/month, but a used car will be much cheaper. In ever city I've looked downtown housing is a lot more than that. Of course most cities let you live much cheaper just outside of downtown, if you can do that you have reasonable rents and good access to transit and so a car would be a large extra cost.
thank you

Wirth made one of the most critical observations in the whole history of computing: as hardware develops, software complicates to compensate and slow things down even further.
You wouldn't consider depreciation a cost in addition to your car payment, depreciation is on your balance sheet and your car payment is on your cash flow.

Your balance sheet would factor in only your interest payments and depreciation, the principal on your loan is irrelevant there because it's being realized as equity.

The average monthly payment for a used car being $500 does not mean that somebody on a low income has to pay $500 to own a car. I'd imagine that the average price paid for a cup of coffee is around $5, but that doesn't mean that that's what coffe costs. It just means that a lot of people pay way more than neccessary for coffee. Similarly- lots of people drive cars that are bigger, faster, newer, more luxurious, and more capable then necessary.

The bare minimum cost to own a vehicle is not $500 a month by any means- my 5000 dollar car has lasted me 6 years now as an example. Even if we consider it is now worth half of it's original value, that comes in at about $70 a month in depreciation. Hardly unaffordable
There used to be a YC startup dedicated to this, which unfortunately no longer exists. I don't know the backstory on that, but I do remember that there was quite a large Launch HN thread:

Most of these managers support some form of 2fa. I use a yubikey with mine such that if my master password is compromised someone would still need to obtain my security key. You can enroll multiple and keep one in a safe and one or more on your person. It's not perfect, but it prevents the vast majority of huge dragnet style malware attacks and a lot of the targeted ones until you get to the point where someone is trying to hunt you down on the street.

This still leaves a case where someone manages to get the final key out of memory but you're pretty hosed at that point anyway. I'd prefer a system where the yubikey itself is doing the final credential decryption instead of the CPU, unfortunately most people aren't that paranoid though.
Yes, but:

Components depend on other components, and they all have to support hot reloading. And what about side effects? For example, an open network connection, or a window. You could store the state (handles etc.), but what about callbacks during the reloading phase? They'd have to block and wait.

Ultimately, what you need is a message passing architecture that supports all this. Smalltalk. Alan Kay has been a vocal critic of our modern architecture.
See his talk "Alan Kay at OOPSLA 1997 - The computer revolution hasnt happened yet".

But that architecture is computationally inefficient.

I suspect the problem is that computers weren't fast enough for the last 30 years. So we focused on performant computing. We still do that, with high fps gaming. And adding better quality graphics.
Soon we'll have Apple Vision Pro with a 4k display for each eye.

> since they move to different places throughout the day.

The question people are asking is how can cities make it easier both for people to live in them as well as move around them without needing a car to do so. By removing parking minimums, it implies that people will have a harder time driving, which will entice them to use other means to get around. But, the big issue is that cities also need to invest in those other means of getting around. That means making micro-mobility easier with protected infrastructure, more bus service, more light-rail, etc. LA had a light rail service until GM, Standard Oil, and Firestone Tire organized a shell company to buy out the system and eventually tear it out. They did the same thing to the Key System in the East Bay of the Bay Area. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_City_Lines

I was just exploring Pascal last month. I've been meaning to do some more programming in it. I think it's a good compromise for someone who wants a lower level language but doesn't want to use C or C++. The FreePascal compiler also rips through thousands of lines of code a second so the compile times are really short
For those who don't know, Pascal was what a lot of the classic Mac software was written in, before Objective-C and Swift. It grew into Delphi, which was a popular low-code option on Windows.
I know it's a possibility, so all I can do is mitigate the risk. I've intentionally focused on very small companies (<5 employees typically) where I almost always report to the top. I put myself in positions where I'm not just rank and file, but am essentially a hard dependency. Also in contracting roles you're usually not around that long. It's tedious finding work, but so is looking over your shoulder.

I think this is obviously the crux of the issue. It depends on what you do and what your love. I would be renting a car/truck 2-3x a week based on my interests and passions.

I have to say this is a bit disingenuous. You pulled the segmented button component which in a real-world environment would just be a part of a library. You should show the part where it gets used. From my experience, how this ends up playing out in a real-world environment is that these things end up getting boxed into higher-level UI libraries that turn all this stuff into quick function calls.

The vast majority of devs aren't (and shouldn't be) writing their own custom components.

Ethanol contains only about 67% of the available energy of gasoline on a gallon-gallon basis [0]. So mixing ethanol gasoline into gasoline will result in a noticeable loss of mile-per-gallon efficiency.

Agree that both are effectively releasing CO2 from either deep in the earth or from the soil, so replacing them with solar power generation on the fields would be a net plus, and probably a greater energy density. We could also use the new-ish practice of installing vertical solar panels between tractor rows of crops, which doesn't reduce the solar yield too much and allows both 'crops' to yield something.

That said, returning a lot to natural ecosystem may be necessary to our survival.

In theory it will eliminate the demand because it will be so much of a hassle people won't demand it. When there are no other options for getting around people will have to move to be closer to where they need to be and that increase in price will be weighed against the increase in the price of owning a car.

I think it would be great to augment this tool to diagram the council meetings with questions, discussions, and motions. This would make it easier to track what city staff presents, which questions are asked by which council members, and finally how the motions are made and modified for any action items. I find that keeping track of all this during a meeting is very hard to do. It can make your head spin.
The batteries have an 8 year warranty, by which point it will be cheaper to replace them. You probably won’t have to since NMC batteries will last 1,000 cycles x 200 miles = 200,000 miles. LFP batteries will be 3x that.

Edit: not sure why this is attracting downvotes

Here is proof of the 8 year warranty:

> 8 years or 100,000 miles

( Note: I chose to quote the lowest mileage to avoid controversy )

Are you sure you live in a suburb?
> The contentious part is that the presence of the freedom to build housing without parking requirements does nothing to reduce the demand for autos.

Why would it? Without alternatives to cars as a means to get people to where they need to go, people will still require cars. As long as people are required to own and drive cars not having enough available parking does nothing to help reduce the amount of cars being owned/driven. In fact, we know that it increase the number of cars on the road. That's how we end up with statistics like "30% of all traffic in urban areas come from people circling around looking for places to park".

You can't solve the problem of people needing cars by not addressing the reasons people need cars, and only reducing the number of parking spots for the cars people already need.

They are pretty darn reliable cars when you consider how much performance they squeeze out of them, and how uncompromising the driving experience is. Moreover, that they can handle being driven HARD day in and day out for decades and stay reliable- something really no other car make can do.

I bought an old Porsche Boxster for cheap on Craigslist and commute daily with no breakdowns for the last 3 years... it's not a Toyota- it's reliable because I spend A LOT of my free time doing preventative maintenance on it. While it requires a lot of maintenance, a cheap economy car would be toast in a few days if driven as hard as I drive this thing. Yet in stock form I could take it to the track and keep up with crazy unreliable exotic supercars that cost 30x what I paid for it.
