I was articulating the sorts of things leftists often push for. Nationalizing industry is one such thing - holding industry in common good for the people is one flavor of leftist. You see that in Soviet style communism, for example.

Yeah. They are waaaaay too good at allowing people to move, so urbanists wage an all-out war on them.

Transit has this inherent problem: it HAS to suck. You can't realistically build a fast public transit network allowing easy arbitrary point-to-point trips. It's just mathematically impossible. So transit does what it can only kinda-sorta do well: move people to Downtowns from dense living residential areas.

> As I've gotten older, I've become increasingly skeptical of the idea of a "fact".

I think the problem actually lies in your personal interpretation of what a "fact" should be, and how it contrasts with what facts actually are.

The definition of "fact" is "things that are known or proven to be true". Consequently, if you can prove that an assertion is not true then you prove it is not a fact. If your wife claims your shirt is green and not blue, does that refute the fact that your shirt is actually blue? No. Can you prove your shirt is blue? Can she prove your shirt is green? That is the critical aspect.

Just because someone disagrees with you, that does not mean either if you is right or wrong. You can both be stating facts if it just so happens you're presuming definitions that don't match exactly in specific critical aspects.

If your shirt is cyan, you can argue it's a fact the shirt is blue and argue it's a fact the shirt is green, because in RGB space both the blue channel and green channel is saturated. You can also state that it's a fact that your shirt is neither blue or green because there's a specific definition for that color and this one is in fact cyan, not blue or green.

If you can prove your assertion, it's a fact. If you're making claims you cannot prove or even support, they are not facts.

And more importantly, the problem tackled by fact checking is people making claims that are patently and ostentatiously false and fabricated in order to manipulate public perception and opinions. Does anyone care if your shirt is blue or green? No. Does anyone care if, say, Haitians are eating your pets? Yes.

> IPv6 gets more traction IPs will rotate much more regularly

unfortunately, only few ISPs do IPv6 correctly by assigning a fixed prefix to customers. most of the ISPs apply the ipv4 logic when adding ipv6 planning hence this situation.

hopefully this will improve in the future and more stable prefixes will be given to users.
The links, the interesting stuff, the comedy of wtf lulz and sometimes the chance to write something meaningful, well I think meaningful but many let me know not so.

> Your first sentence has 11 words.

It's, I think, quite relevant here to note that "word" is a famously hard to define concept in linguistics. That is, there is no generalized definition of the concept "word" that works across languages, writing systems (e.g. Chinese and Japanese writing don't traditionally use spaces to separate words), and ways of analyzing language (phonological words are different from grammatical words).

So to make your sentence more accurate, you'd have to say "there are 11 groups of letters separated by whitespace characters or punctuation before your first period".
And even in the case where the candidate is right to push back on the feedback, the process has usually moved on with another candidate already, so it's just awkward for everyone.
These days there's also to consider that some Mail Threat Protection Tools (at least Microsoft Defender in Exchange Online does this) click links in Mails to check them.

the most importat skills to learn:

1. Sales = learn to knock on a 100 doors to get one sale.

2. Marketing = learn to communicate your value prop to specific companeis and hiring managers.

3. Delviery = learn to deliver products/projects end to end with all the management that goes in between.

If you know all 3 you'll never be in a position where you don't have income.
It takes about 4 years to really get a grasp of all 3 so start now ... don't just do a 8 hour job and go home and watch tv.

Keep trying to sell your services to others ... at least 2-3 hours after work to other companies/startups/other industries. Its a big world - smeone needs your services - your survival depends on finding those people nad packaging your skilsl so that they buy.

Batteries and capacitors would serve different functions. Capacitors primarily isolate each individual chip and subsystem on a PCB from high frequency power fluctuations when digital circuits switch or larger loads turn on or off. You would still need to use capacitors for that. The purpose of the batteries would be to support high loads on the order of minutes that exceed the actual wall plug capacity to deliver electricity. I am thinking specifically of the stove linked in your sibling comment, which uses lithium batteries to provide sustained bursts of power to boil a pot of water in tens of seconds without exceeding the power ratings of the wall plug.
Exactly. What I take away from that passage is "most of the time it's really not hard to figure out how to be a good person so you're better off actually taking some concrete positive action than spending further time navel-gazing".

Lots of smaller farms are family run. It's the mega farms that excessively rely on outside labor, particularly during critical seasons. They're 4.4% of farms, but 47.6% of production. There's a lot of data here. [1] I think there's a reasonable argument that deportations could instead work to decentralize things by effectively increasing labor costs. Hard to keep massive farms running (and offering cheap crops) without large labor pools willing to work for what is literally pennies per bucket of crops that they harvest.

If you're center-left like me, here's something you might not have realized yet. The conventional wisdom is that racial cleansing is the goal and that the economic cost of mass deportations is the price. It's actually the other way around.

The economic cost is the goal. The racial cleansing is just how that cost is initially justified to the base.

Once the economy really starts heading south, blame Democrats and other phantom enemies. It's much harder to jail the opposition and overturn democracy when things are going well. The blueprints are Venezuela and Argentina.

New features are the right time to refactor. If you can't make the code not complete shit you don't have time to add the feature. Never refactor code to make it prettier or whatever, refactor it when it becomes not-fit-for-purpose for what you need to do. There's obviously exceptions (both ways) but those are exceptions not rules.

The principle is sound, but it’s a principle.

The mechanisms of online speech show us a few other issues.

For example certain ideas are far more “fit” for transmission and memory than others. Take a look at something as commonplace as “ghosts” or the idea of penguins. Ghosts are in all cultures, and they are essentially people with some additional properties. Penguins are birds that dont fly.

Brains absorb stories and ideas like flightless birds easily, because they build on pre existing concepts.

Talk about spacetime, or multiple dimensions and you aren’t going to have the same degree of uptake.

So when I put certain ideas into competition with each other, all else being equal - the more suited for human foibles, the more successful the idea.

People also dont make that much effort to seek out forbidden knowledge. Conservative main stream media has made many things forbidden - 1/3rd of America isnt aware that Obamacare and the ACA are the same thing.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant for certain breeds of germs. Many others get on just fine.

In my many decades of online existence, which includes being on multiple sides of moderation, extremism was on the rise from before, because we had created the arguments and structures that thrive on it.

Content moderation was a hap hazard effort created out of necessity to stall it.

Personally - I hope this works. Moderation sucks, and is straight up traumatic. If we can get better, more effective market places of ideas, then I am all for it.

I care about the effectiveness of the exchange of ideas. I see free speech as a principle that supports this. But the goal is always the functioning of the marketplace.

> But you can't.

Well sure you can. We know how much it costs, the budgets are public. Completely zeroing out fares would be a single-digit percentage of the government budget. Meanwhile it would save the public money on net, because collecting the cost as taxes has lower overhead than operating a parallel fare collections infrastructure. And it benefits drivers by giving them exactly what they've always wanted -- an incentive for other people to use mass transit:

https://theonion.com/report-98-percent-of-u-s-commuters-favo...

> Instead, we should be honest and price it at the full 100% recovery rate, with 100% capital cost return. People will then start to think: "Should I continue paying that $20 per trip on a light rail, or should I get a car?"

Which is exactly the problem with your plan. If you build a rail line and set the price at $20/trip then people don't use it, so the amortized cost of the rail line becomes $30/trip because you have to pay for all the same fixed costs with fewer riders. But a $30 fare reduces ridership even more and soon there is no mass transit which in turn makes it suck to drive because there are too many people in cars and your commute is 20 miles in two hours.

Whereas if you set the price to zero, the actual cost per trip which is now being covered by taxes comes out to $4/trip, because at lower cost you get higher ridership and more usage to spread the fixed costs over. Which in turn means less traffic congestion on the roads for the people in cars.

> I'm all for sponsoring car purchases for poor people and/or giving them money to buy transit passes at full cost.

You're all for subsidies as long as they're paying the full cost? Subsidies are the thing where they're not paying the full cost.

Moreover, you want the same incentive for everyone -- if a free fare would get someone at the 70th percentile income to take the subway instead of a car, give it to them so they do that.

The converse where you use means testing is not only bringing in high administrative costs, it creates a poverty trap where making a little more money causes you to lose the subsidy and thereby removes your incentive to do it. Means testing is effectively a scheme to impose high marginal tax rates on the poor.

> Whenever anyone says "JavaScript" they actually mean "ECMAScript", which is the language browsers and scripting engines actually implement.

It’s the exact opposite though. Whenever someone says ECMAScript they actually mean “I want to say JavaScript but for legal reasons I’m using another name for it” but that also happens so rarely that it’s not worth considering.

If I invent a new term for iPads and say “well actually when people say iPad they mean ECMApad which is technically the same just a different branding of it” that doesn’t give me grounds to have Apples trademark on iPad discarded.

Programmers may not like it, but JavaScript is a pretty well established and robust trademark and people use it correctly to refer to the same one thing. The problem really just is that people don’t like the owners of it, but that’s hardly a case to have it invalidated.
