You tear down those old, unsafe office buildings (we have lots of them in our city) and put up modern mixed use buildings. More people == more workers == more customers == more businesses. Add in some cultural features and you have a vibrant downtown that doesn't rely on commuters and doesn't become a ghost-town after 5:00.
I think you make a good point in general, but "likely not really have helped macOS gaming in any form" I think is taking it too far. The reason why many developers only use dx11/12 is because adding more graphics backends increases their support surface unnecessarily, being that Vulkan only works on Windows (and Linux), while dx11/12 work on Windows on Xbox. As an extreme example of this, apparently Cyberpunk 2077 ran Vulkan on Stadia but did not enable it for Windows as an option. (Because what is the point?) If Vulkan worked on both Windows and Mac then developers would have more reason to support it. It would likely also mean game engines would put more time into making Vulkan better. For a related example, Apple had to individually contribute it's Metal backend to Blender because (presumably) nobody wanted to work on it.[0] Why? Because they already have to support OpenGL, Cuda, OptiX, Intel OneAPI, ROCm HIP, and Vulkan. Clearly, something is very wrong with graphics APIs right now. If Apple supported Vulkan, it would have allowed everyone who is not Windows to benefit by making Vulkan become more standard. Luckily Xbox seems to be kind of dying right now so perhaps supporting dx11/12 will not be as important in the future. But the point is if you have a small portion of the market it just doesn't make sense for developers to spend time entering that market for little reward.

Another major point is the development cycle. Since Metal only works on Apple devices that makes developing for it more annoying for game developers which are mainly using Windows. It means they will have to switch to a Mac device to debug issues with their Metal backend. By supporting Vulkan Apple would allow for a much smoother developer experience. (While Metal Developer Tools for Windows exists, as I understand it it only allows you to compile shaders for Metal on Windows, but to actually test that anything works you will need an actual MacOS device.).

Ah yes. We had license for public broadcasters tried in Denmark. Turned out that it resembled a tax. There is this law, that only the official tax agency can collect taxes, and now license for public broadcasting is collected over the tax.

Regardless, this seems to be a form thing.

Also, I am quite sure that the law is a bit more formal than cannot collect unfair taxes (in what case, all taxes collected on me are unfair, but taxes collected on them are fair)

"Marriage and/or starting a family is a decision that you'll make outside of finance."

It should absolutely include financial planning.

"If you're making it solely based on financial reasons then you're doing it wrong."

I'm not saying to make the decision solely on finances - I certainly didn't. But they asked for advice relating to finance. Even if we are factoring in other issues, there's generally little reason to get married. Most things you can do as a married couple, you can do as an unmarried couple. You save on the typical expensive wedding, you're more likely to be financial partners, there no risk of alimony, and there's potential tax benefits.

Remember the T-Bills are the very very short-term side. A lot of things can affect the short term side. I mean when Powell opens his mouth he moves those interest rates. It's the only side of this quadrillion dollar market that they can control and manipulate. And they brag about it (the fed does) I think Buffett is a reluctant holder. I take him at his word on this. He's not some closeted "bond king" or anything... He sees the equities market as too expensive. He's been pretty consistent with that view.
I just really hate how there are some insane defaults that don't have easy ways to change them.

Pointer Acceleration being the biggest one. One inch of mouse movement should always be the same number of pixels of pointer movement, whether I move my mouse at a snail's pace or at mach 2. A fast, but incredibly short movement of the mouse should not produce the same pointer movement as a slow, but very wide movement.

Second was disappearing scrollbars. Those make sense on a mobile device where screen space is a premium, but on a desktop (or even a laptop!), it doesn't make sense.

Starliner has a launch abort system; the Shuttle did not.

From what I understand, they use a very powerful rocket (much more powerful than Crew Dragon) to get the capsule far away from the booster. I guess it can get far enough away that NASA is satisfied that falling bits of burning SRB aren't a danger to the parachutes.

The preamble says practically nothing about individual people. It's all about group behavior.

The Bill of Rights does say more, but it has large gaps. For comparison, have a look at the German Basic Law:

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Basic_Law_for_the_Federal_Rep...

Some choice bits:

* Men and women have equal rights.

* Everyone has the right to the free development of his personality insofar as he does not violate the rights of others or offend against the constitutional order or the moral code.

* The dignity of man is inviolable. To respect and protect it is the duty of all state authority.

These are vague, but no vaguer than the US First Amendment, which is rife with all kinds of unspoken limitations.

One interesting one:

* With regard to open-air meetings [the right to assemble] may be restricted by or pursuant to a law.

The US Supreme Court decided that our right to assemble means that the Westboro Baptist Church has the right to be really horrific shitweeds, at funerals. Being abominable is their purpose. They want to make people feel shitty. The German constitution considered those possibilities and decided that the freedom of association could be limited.

These are the kinds of things that we didn't consider in the Constitution. We've patched around it -- like the fact that libel and slander are illegal, despite that seeming to me as a pretty direct contradiction to the First Amendment.

The German one goes on and on with details. They were written based on their experiences in the 20th century. We find it very hard to fix that.
That is surreal.

I am so sick of the claim that if you criticize Israel you must have something against Jews.

Jews are a loosely-defined, globally-distributed cultural group. Israel is a specific, concrete sovereign country. It is a bit like saying if you criticize Venezuela then you must hate "Latinos".

I know for sure that my reasons for criticizing Israel have nothing to do with dislike of Jews. Why? Because I'm inside my own mind, so I would know if I had anything against Jews or not, and I don't.

There are plenty of reasons people care more about Israel's actions than those of any random country that have nothing to do with the fact that Israel is populated mostly by Jews, including:

1. It has historical and cultural ties to Western countries, so Westerners feel naturally interested in what goes on there (see also: why people care more about what's happening in Ukraine than in other armed conflicts around the globe),

2. Israel has a much higher degree of influence over American politics than any other foreign country, which bothers people,

3. It is largely propped up by U.S. aid, so Americans feel responsible for it,

4. Because of point 3., it is one of the only global problems that Americans have a realistic chance of solving by protesting.

> tell property owners that they are required to keep their property occupied otherwise the government should seize their property?

I suspect it would make more sense to do so via tax policy, i.e. high property taxes (or LVT) with a deduction for each occupant.

> why would the government have any right to tell me what to do with my building?

For one thing, governments have a vested interest in not being overthrown. If a sufficiently large percentage of the population believes that their living standards are declining (including not having a place to live) then an increasing number of people will arrive at the conclusion that revolution or terrorism has a positive risk/reward ratio.

I've worked in a country where the previous government had allowed this to occur; apparently it happened gradually and then suddenly. Beyond a certain point you can only consider something "my building" if you have the means to defend it against anyone who might wish to make it their building. In that case, the possession of a piece of paper which you once used to outsource the enforcement of your property rights to the previous government isn't very useful.

(Edit: To be clear, I think allowing squatting is a poor solution to the problem of reducing homelessness and better tax and housing policies are more sustainable and equitable, I'm just explaining why the government has a substantial interest in what private landowners do with their properties.)

Housing is inelastic enough that they don't need a 100% monopoly to engage in highly monopolistic practices. The article mentions that about 80% of rentals in Atlanta are using algorithmic pricing, and 80-90% of landlords are following their recommendations as is. If the algorithm is laundering their collusion onto 64-72% of the housing market, that's larger than plenty of monopolies that have been broken up in the past.

It is very difficult to have a discussion using words to discuss the semantics of non-word or non-symbolic semantics. I was pointing at several different plausible spaces for semiotics and how these spaces could be spaces for reasoning in the hopes that one of them might be relatable.

If you use words in your mind when you use math, and you use words in your mind when you make or listen to music, etc., then it is very difficult to find a common ground where it is possible to see that these other realms of thought are capable of not only prediction, but also producing evidence that leads to judgement. That is to say, the key aspects of "reasoning." I picked them because I thought they had broad enough appeal to be relatable, and because I do not personally hear words in my head when doing any of these activities, whether it's calculus or tango, but I still find calculus and tango to be places where reasoning occurs.

Some of them, like math or music, are closer to the kind of symbolic thought we use when we discuss things with words. Others, like the experience of g-forces, are not. I present them as a sliding scale between "word based" reasoning and "non-linguistic" reasoning. Perhaps you can think of a realm that better fits for your personal experience of intuition, and inspect whether these intuitions are capable of "real" reasoning in the absence of language, or whether intuition should never be trusted even when you have a great deal of experience in that area. Perhaps in your estimation, anything that cannot produce evidence that is articulable in word form is suspect.

Personally, I find all these methods, including language, to be suspect. I don't find language to be especially better at producing the kind of evidence for prediction, correct judgement, or discourse for reasoning than other methods, unless you reduce "reasoning" to tautologically require it.

One of the best tools of language is that we have writing that allows easy inspection or iteration of the written content; but these things are possible in other realms, too, it's just that we didn't have great tools for introspecting and iterating on their "ideas" except within our own minds. These days, those tools are readily available in many more realms of human insight.

If you read about agile, standups are supposed to be conducted among the dev team members who are working together on something, and primarily for their benefit, not as a status update to or for someone else. The PM or whoever is considered the "product owner" in scrum could listen in and help unblock issues, or report delays to other people, but not demand more information or change things up that have already been planned. Of course, it actually working this way is rare, although I have seen it.

I haven't really seen this, but a poorly performing product manager or product owner completely breaks the scrum or agile model (to the extent it works at all). They are assumed to basically know the domain and know what needs to be built at a high level, and the software requirements originate from them in the scrum model. If they don't know what the requirements should be or how to communicate them or how to collaborate with the engineers on the requirements, it is completely garbage-in-garbage-out. On the other hand, working with a product owner who is a domain expert and happy to help define software to solve their needs can be a joy.
