Not exactly the same thing, but PEP-404 made a negative commitment. [ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0404/ ]

It doesn't matter what's powering them, the power requirements are so much smaller than those for moving a 2-3 ton automobile that you still come out way ahead

I don't mean to say "he made a Rick and Morty reference, Serious Adults don't make Rick and Morty references". That'd be dumb. I mean that he points to a robot in Rick and Morty that was sad about being programmed t

"The orthogonality thesis is false. Source: Rick and Morty" Why does anyone take this writeup seriously?

The important thing about congestion pricing is that it makes mass transit competitive. There are buses you can take out of San Francisco into Oakland/Berkeley/El Cerrito right now, but they have to wait in the same traffic as eve

The solution to this problem is to upzone that land so that more people can live there. If more people wind up living close to their jobs, that's a good thing. Commutes are bad for workers and bad for society.

This is not a new idea, it's called congestion pricing, and it's already in use in London. No matter what we do, a road is a limited resource. Only so many vehicles can use it per hour. We allocate that resource to those most will

If I attempt to build an apartment building on your block, on land I own, the police will eventually arrest me and take me away. Damn right you're using violence to gain a profit.

The specific issue under discussion has little to nothing to do with user experience though. It wouldn't change the iOS user experience if an iOS dev environment was available for Linux, or if you could test your iOS code on a jenkins

Is the number of bedrooms increasing faster than the number of humans? If not the supply of units isn't increasing that much.

I think this might understate the problems Spotify has. Their earnings reports are public and they are, as the author says, at the mercy of the record labels. If Spotify has an unusually profitable quarter, the labels are simply going to

If you passed a law that car manufacturers could only sell 1000 cars per year, you can bet those would be some really fancy, expensive cars. Just let them sell cars and they start doing market segmentation and producing budget cars all on t

Curious, is anyone inside of Google using Kotlin for their Android apps, or is this all for third party developers?

You're right -- what we really need is to eliminate the regulations preventing tech companies from actually running private bus systems.

This seems like a distraction. We don't need green cement, we need laws that allow us to shape cement into tall buildings so people can live near where they work.

The mayor has only so much power over the city. As someone involved in the YIMBY movement, I think we mostly considered him an ally.

I mostly agree with this, but the digression about carbon pricing in the middle makes absolutely no sense. As long as you auction a fixed pool of carbon credits, the prices will go up the more people are willing to spend to pollute. This is

Oh, I totally agree, rent control makes it hard to move and that's terrible, we should have many more market renters and we should build enough to keep market rates reasonable. I'm just saying the political coalition isn't re

Hardly any renters in San Francisco are market rate renters. Market rate raters are the only ones who directly benefit if the market rate comes down.

Worth noting that this is a case study about one child. I'm not saying the science is bad or that you should blow cannabis smoke in your baby's face, but if the headline made you think there's an epidemic of babies dying due

It doesn't need government intervention. The government is intervening to keep the city expensive and they're trying to get it to stop.

I have an 11-month-old and any given time I put him in a carseat it's 50-50 whether he'll holler until we get there. I take BART now even more than I used to.
