eBay was great for the first few years. After that it just slowly enshittified. The search has only got worse, never better in 20 years.

I can't tell if their research pushes them to make the site continuously worse, or whether they just generally hate their users?

Don't bring your phone to protests. If you do, turn off all radios (airplane mode + WiFi off + Bluetooth off) and do not use Google or Apple Maps to find your way there. (Use an offline mapping app like OsmAnd if you need to.) Enable lockdown mode on your phone (= no biometric activation).

I would personally not use Discord for activist coordination. All your communications are stored on their servers.

What would be nice is if phones could connect to a low-frequency wifi. We have 2.4ghz hotspots here and there, but a long range low speed signal that a phone could use for WhatsApp or similar would be really handy. Our cell service is very poor here.
Yes. The city is thrilled. Jobs! Tax dollars! Wooo!

The people who live there? Maybe not so much.

Is infinite growth desirable? Should we make policy decisions to distribute things more instead?

Compare Dallas with LA. The denser one is much more expensive. Maybe get denser, like Manhattan? Oops, still expensive. Manhattan just needed to build that much more and get even denser? Where exactly is it believed it would stop? That the growth machine would say 'ok, that's enough, now we will just start lowering prices!'?

Yet Dallas-the-city wants to get those businesses - and will crow for days about being more "business friendly" or brag about this or that company moving to Dallas - but Dallas-the-incumbent-residents don't like the influx of people who can out-spend them for housing.

There are a few places that understand the less-direct effect of feeding the infinite-economic-growth-business-machine, that zone for overall stability, to prevent big industrial/corporate development, not just to prevent housing. But for that to work they generally need to have something well-established to rest their hat on instead, to avoid drying up and drying out.
> What habits are useful to practice and what tools are useful to use to facilitate communication without getting nonviolent, peaceful, legal protesters in trouble just because they are trying to organize to express dissent?

I guess the first question is in trouble with who? For the longest time I worked at a place that pressured employees to avoid getting involved in politics which turned out to just be patently false and was only ever used to squash one side of the argument. So, in that case, I just didn't post things where my employer might run across them, which doesn't take very advanced technology.

If you're trying to protect yourself from a government, you're going to probably have a bit more work ahead of you.
Does the difference matter in this context, though? Medicine isn't like other professions where it's no big deal to have some fraction of the workforce be bad at their jobs. I'm not so status-quo-biased that I'd support 100 hour residencies, but I'm skeptical of reform proposals that focus on doctors' working conditions rather than patient outcomes. If some filtering process leads to better patient outcomes, I think we should retain it, even if it's quite stressful for the doctors who have to go through it.

It's also true that people are also economically illiterate.

I don't think I am economically literate. I have only taken one semester of macroeconomic in high school.
the per capita version of your graph: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/A229RX0

it claims that the average person has 50k usd in disposable yearly income - there's no way that's after housing and other non optional expenses have been accounted for.

using this measurement, if wages go up 5% but rent goes up 50%, it would still look as if people have more money to spend than before.
Collective ownership isn't State or Government Ownershaip (negating the "all land" part) and in China "State Ownership" is an underlying ownership that doesn't carry the weight of immediate direct ownership, hence nail houses where individual lease holding rights that are automatically renewed trump the underlying state ownership.

Point being, it's not as simple as it's made out to be and it's not dissimilar to many other countries that have a notion of underlying ownership, seperation of surface and mineral rights, cave outs for eminant domain, etc.

In this specific context it's not especially clear what the GP's "how's that working out for them" is meant to convey.
Speak for yourself. I am 38, live in one of the top fastest growing cities in America for like 5 years running now (with a booming housing market), and own my own house outright as a result of my hard work.

Just because someone taught you something doesn't make it so. And even then, it might be true but your own choices (and failures) may be the reason you have not met your goals - rather than "housing policy".

Try on some personal accountability for size - it'll probably help you achieve those unachievable milestones you are yearning for, also.
I think he's talking about aerodynamic heating. Turbines compress air, and exhaust generates more thrust than resistance, so it's sort of obvious that compressor stages can be temperature limited where the airframe that hosts it is temperature constrained or something.

I'm not sure how it has to do with electric propulsion, though - I'd think systems like NERVA is a more exciting solution in this kind of domain(jk).

> 2nd largest military in the world if they put it all together

Military industrial capacity is Europe's main problem right now. I believe they're ramping up production, but it's going to take years. They may end up having to buy the arms from the US in the meantime if they want to aid Ukraine. If it gets to that, the question is whether they give China some business.

Developers want to build because building will increase the value of property.

If the value of property is constantly increasing through development, how are you solving the affordability problem? The development is attracting and facilitating activity that drives more demand.

It would be much more efficient to legalize apartments in LA than to run high speed trains to bedroom communities. Digging tunnels would blow out the cost by itself.

Dropping infinite resources into stretching commutes across vast distances is not realistic. Taken to its logical extreme everyone should commute by private jet. The larger the transportion network, the more it costs, or at the same cost the less convenient it becomes because intervals between vehicles increases.

The most efficient form of transportation is avoiding the trip in the first place through telecommuting. Then walking or biking. Then mass transit which works best with areas with lots of riders (dense cities). https://humantransit.org/basics/the-transit-ridership-recipe.

Think of train service like a pancake. For a given amount of batter you can make a normal pancake, or you can spread it thinly over a large area, or you could make a small and thick pancake. If you want great service over a huge area you must massively increase resource expenditure.
Following your logic from the other side: Why apply for (and later accept) a job at a company that is consistently unprofitable?
There's plenty of inexpensive, buildable land in Chicago. It just might not be in the neighborhoods where there's housing demand.

The U.S. abandoned Georgia in the 00s because it was indefensible.

The Ukraine is also very difficult to defend, especially since it seems like such a touchy issue for Russia. I doubt that Russia would go to full-scale nuclear war over Ukraine but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a small scale use of nuclear weapons on -say- Brussels. And if Russia makes enough of those Oreshnik missiles they could easily take out most of Europe's air forces in one go without going nuclear, and thus change the balance of power in Ukraine.

The question really is: at what price Ukraine?

Your (1), (2), and (3) are no solutions. Pausing the war now simply means escalating it later.

Depending on Trump's understanding of Russia's limits (I say Trump's because he might have a better understanding that the public), (4) may be the only workable option.

AWS is actually great once you spend few dozen hours in the service. If you are using the service for the first time GCP feels a lot smoother but then you begin to see corner cases and everything and GCP just breaks in those. Azure is bad the first time and gets worse over time.

Georgism stipulates that it doesn't matter who owns the land so long as they pay a tax on it that goes back to the people.

You could say that the people really own the land and call it "land rent" instead of "land tax" but mathematically its the same thing.

I’m also bewildered.

For quite a long time (decades) Soviet Union/Russia was vilified like no other…

Heck, even the general public knew that Russia was the only country that could wipe us off the map with their nukes…

Current leaders grew up and were in the prime of their life during those times…
Its a game.

US most certainly has anti ballistic missile tech, however wasting exposing it on Russia is something that is not worth it when there are more capable nations on the line.

Business stagnation and crime are particularly bad for Oak Park and Evanston. For the walkable areas increased density seems worse for local businesses. It prices out the mom and pop shops. I suspect there's a happy median.

I too am in a western Chicago burb. All this tearing down of $400k houses and replacing them with hideous cookie cutter $1.8M new builds drives me crazy. They're 5-6 bed 5-6 bath. One in particular is a $500k to $2.5M flip. That's criminal.
Compared to the rubbish that is MS accounts or email, teams is outright awesome compared to it's competitors! At least you don't get logged out of your email app and don't get notifications or any indication until you dig deep into what's going on (let's not even talk about how agonizingly slow outlook is). Or the rubbish of having to dig 3 levels down into the settings to get outlooks 2fa token (good look if the aforementioned lock out happened).
I could go on. I seriously don't understand how companies would go with this rubbish (especially for shops which use Linux for a large fraction of their dev machines).
Yes. Why would you think otherwise? Even the leader of the opposition says the current situation is the only legal scenario.

That sounds to my self-hoster ears as an expensive way to do self hosting. Isn't at least half the point of AWS to use their SaaS thingies that all integrate with each other, I think people now call it "cloud native software"?

Not that most of our customers whose AWS environment we audit do much of this, at least not beyond some basics like creating a vlan ("virtual private cloud"), three layers of proxies to "load balance" a traffic volume that my old laptop could handle without moving the load average above 0.2, and some super complex authentication/IAM rules for a handful of roles and service accounts iirc

(The other half of the point is infinite scale, so that you can get infinite customers signing up and using the system at once (which hopefully pay before your infinite AWS bill is due), but you can still do that with VPSes and managed databases/storage.)
I've read this a couple times and still don't see what it has to do with the comment that it responds to.
They get taxed less, because instead of taxing their produce and income, their land is taxed, and agro land is very cheap. On a quick google, I can find a 140 acre alfalfa farm in Idaho for $1.4MM ($100k/acre), and a 0.07 acre empty residential dirt lot in NY for $4MM ($54MM/acre).

If the land is taxed then you must find a renter willing to pay more than your tax, otherwise you would sell. Meanwhile renters will search for the lowest rent, which is naturally found in high density areas. So cities would still form, and the vast tracts of unoccupied land would be money-losing assets that must be abandoned, at least until population growth makes some of those plots profitable. The market would fluctuate with supply and demand, just as it does today.

Russia can’t escalate any more than they already have without directly attacking the US or with nukes, and in both cases, it’s suicide. They are struggling to take on Ukraine, let alone the US, and literally no country of influence would back them if they attacked or escalated to nukes.
Your assumption seems to be that the only reason for dense housing is to help businesses, but businesses are bad, so you want to artificially limit them, which doesn't make sense.

People want to be in close proximity both to their jobs and to the businesses they want to patronize. Your suggestion would reduce or push away those businesses but retain the dense housing stock, but whose value would dramatically drop because those businesses are restricted or moved. You've created slums.

Summary: While questions have been raised about Ukraine’s democratic process, the country is acting in accordance with its constitution. Parliament overwhelmingly affirmed Zelenskyy’s legitimacy, and under Ukrainian law, elections cannot be held while martial law is in place. Despite the challenges of war, Zelenskyy maintains a 57% approval rating, and his mandate is not disputed by the Ukrainian people or their elected representatives.

This is called means testing, and it's a poor way to design policy because it creates step functions and breakpoints, distorting the market.
Annual pen tests are great, but what are you doing to actually improve the engineering design process that failed to identify this gap? How can you possibly claim to be confident this won't happen again unless you myopically focus on this single bug, which itself is a symptom of a larger design problem.

These kinds of "never happen again" statements never age well, and make no sense to even put forward.

A more pragmatic response might look like: something similar can and probably will happen again, just like any other bugs. Here are the engineering standards we use ..., here is how they compare to our peers our size ..., here are our goals with it ..., here is how we know when to improve it...

Please clarify how NATO encroachment is non-threatening to a Russian nationalism that sees the Russian Empire at its height as a golden age.

That's exactly the point: almost all of Eastern Europe rushed into NATO to prevent becoming unwilling participants in another "golden age of the Russian empire". NATO is a massive pain in the ass for those who dream of enslaving the peoples of Europe, and not a problem at all for those who are free from this sick desire.

One of the pre-Putin foreign ministers of Russia has maintained for decades that NATO offers free security on Russia's western border. Its rules, especially those related to civilian oversight of military affairs, ensure that NATO members remain stable and predictable. The mutual defense guarantee acts as a moderating force that reduces the likelihood of unexpected moves by a single country. What normal country wouldn't want to border a military alliance dominated by overly cautious pacifists?
> Manpower is extremely limited

And that's why this needs to be solved at a higher level than engineering. There's clearly ample investment into RISC-V - Tenstorrent just raised $693 million. Convincing investors to throw hundreds of millions at "AI magic" is easy. Convincing them to throw $50k at a contractor to make a USB bootloader... that's a harder sell - even if that small investment would have a huge impact on the public perception of RISC-V overall.

I think this idea is wasted on "Hacker" News, I need to find "Tech Investor" News, but it doesn't seem to exist. :P
