Public transit systems are only effective in highly-dense, urban settings. Toll roads are often not within dense urban cities - usually on the outskirts, suburbs, highways, bridges and more. Public transit simply doesn't work in these

Very interesting. That still doesn't imply the "poor bear the brunt" (the original GP's assertion). Likely the inverse - since again, businesses and wealthy individuals are going to travel by vehicle vastly more than &qu

Wealthy people fund all sorts of non-profitable things, ie. non-profits, charities, philanthropic initiatives, etc. Look at Bill Gate's philanthropy over the years. There's thousands of others, including all of the Hollywood Cel

Yes because "oil tycoons" are clearly the only wealthy people in this country.

When I was in the Chicago area, I paid no tolls when I entered and exited the tollway within the same region. Perhaps that has changed within the last 10ish years? It doesn't seem practical to charge tolls at every onramp.

> The poor bear the brunt of them. Going to need a citation for that, because it seems the wealth(ier) and/or business-classes would bear the most significant burden of toll roads. Typically, in my experience, tolls are assessed at

I'm not sure how/why you are asserting this is a "free speech" or "free science" issue. The government isn't obligated to fund this (or any) lab - private donors are free to step in and continue funding.

Overtime is not taxed now either. There's a lot of good tax policy that will impact low and middle-income families.

Talk to a neurologist for a sleep study. But, first try reading a book ~1 hour before bed. The racing mind is often your brain continuing to think/work on the day's problems. Using a screen (phone/tablet, computer, tv) right

In fairness to Github, bringing your own runners isn't "free" on their end. The orchestration happens server-side, so there is some level of cost. I don't know if that justifies the $0.002/min price - just wanted to

You shouldn't depend on the auth service, just subscribe to it's messages and/or trust your IDP's tokens. This article, in my interpretation, is about hard dependencies, not soft. Each of your services should have their

There's no particular reason an Auth system must be designed like counterexample #2. There's many ways to design that system and avoid cycles. You can leverage caching of role information - propagated via messages/bus, JWT&#x

Is your example really a "triangle" though? If you have a broker/queue, and your services just push messages into the ether, there's no actual dependency going on between these services. Nothing should really depend on

There is a very vocal opposition to Trump. However, by almost any way you can present "popularity" of a president - be it approval ratings, polling figures, popular vote, electoral vote, etc. - he is one of the more popular presid

The Union is a business too - and it's product is the labor of it's members. Always follow the money - there's no free lunch. The Union negotiates incremental raises not because it is righteous and just - no, it negotiates in

The pixel density, among other things, are very different between a TV and a Monitor. This is why a monitor of similar size will be vastly more expensive than a TV - they're optimized for different viewing experiences/use-cases. F

That's the beauty of the open source, self-hosted option then, no? If they radically change pricing one day, pick up your ball and self-host without any limits.

by Alupis 11mo ago
You don't just have to self-host, they offer a hosted version that's far more reasonably priced than Figma[1]. Their free tier supports up to 8 members, limited to 10GB of storage. The next tier supports unlimited members, and is

The problem clearly is, once a need is identified - it can be costly or ruinous to wait 20+ years to realize the solution. The DoW is clearly signaling they want the "Need -> Solution" loop tightened, significantly, sacrificing

The F-35 was Lockheed's entry in the Joint Strike Fighter program. The JSF has roots going back to 1996. The X-35 first flew in 2000. The F-35 first flew in 2006, and didn't enter service until 2015(!!). That's nearly 20 year

Gleam compiles to Erlang. So you can skip Erlang entirely but get all of the BEAM and ecosystem's benefits. Gleam is very much worth checking out. It's syntax is very nice and natural feeling.

This is very neat, thanks for the link! Digging into it, you can get "universal" BEAM tarballs from here[1]. It links against muslibc and appears to bring it's own openssl. Very cool. [1] https://beammachine.cloud&

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you'd still have to compile it from source on nix, no? On my relatively powerful workstation, Erlang/BEAM takes about 7 minutes to compile. We're working around this currently by having a fat

The BEAM is fascinating for many reasons, including being register-based. I really just wish the BEAM was portable in the way the JVM is. The BEAM hooks into so many system libraries, you must compile it on every flavor of linux instead of
