Companies should at least commit to challenging this type of data collection in the court system. Also, the minute we agree with tech companies cooperating with bad laws in the US we lose all moral basis for insisting they don't coope

I think minimal zoning is much more viable than no zoning. It makes a lot of sense to preserve the hard line between industrial and residential zoning while blurring the line between residential and commercial zoning. No one wants factories

You can certainly do many things in 15 minutes but for most hobbies, partaking in that hobby requires a longer block of time.

It's interesting how the amount of money involved can change your perspective. For me the single most important thing to do with money is save it. Nothing I can buy will give me as much happiness as being able to help make the lives o

My suburb experience is more social than my downtown one. My neighbours all talk to us for starters. That just about never happened in the condo buildings downtown. Kids play in the not busy streets. There is a lot of joy in even just watch

For a long time for me the problem wasn’t the amount of time for myself so much as that it wasn’t blockable time. 15 minutes 8 times a day is very different from one two-hour chunk.

I think the idea is the modern adult has an insane commute due to the unaffordability of housing, a full-time demanding job that often requires more than eight hours a day and child-raising responsibilities. Finding the time can be a challe

I went through the dropping all my hobbies and was happy with that decision for about 6 months when I had a newborn and didn’t have time for anything else because of unpredictable sleep and returning to work after my paternity leave. There

I don't have a single cert of any type and have never needed them. My last role was at the Senior Staff level and I'm currently interviewing for a Principal position. I've found certs are mostly asked for by either very unus

69% doesn’t seem like the kinds of gains you’d hope for. If you’re going from unsafe infrastructure to protected bike paths I’d want to see a tripling of ridership.

Experts missed the way land captures a sizeable portion of the gains of labour just like Henry George said it did. Ricardo had a few things to say about this as well. The result is we can’t create a society affluent in leisure time because

If you actually implement being able to sue polluters into oblivion for polluting you don’t get checks and balances on pollution leading to less pollution you get Rothbard-style deindustrialization libertarianism. You reduce things to the p

How much time did they want for Aaron Schwartz? This guy gets two years for making an entire business leading to thousands of CFAA violations. What a joke.

I’d argue working properly includes appropriate consequences for negative externalities which by definition is impossible in an unregulated market. If you make it free to pollute you get a lot of pollution and that’s much worse for people t

The big issue in other fields mostly isn't manufacturing design or construction process. The main bottleneck is with physical goods and long distances travelled you're subject to high shipping costs so people cut all sorts of cor

This means working at companies with massive scale can be far better because you get to make code performant and optimize things rather than just focus on getting features out the door.

The follow-up article tries to argue there is an over five year lag to interest correcting inflation based on undisclosed principles of a model they don’t provide equations for. Their argument is in effect that the growth of roughly 30% of

I have some sympathy with the filer. EU citizenship meant that living in France for 15+ years didn’t grant a separate citizenship and suddenly the filer could not vote anywhere as a result of being absent from Britain too long. Realistic co

It doesn’t help that one of the most popular search queries after Brexit was “What’s Brexit?” suggesting a lot of people didn’t even know what they were voting for.

I’m curious what the right half plane zero in housing is. In general, we correct inflation through interest which we raise gradually waiting a month or two to observe the effects of a 0.5% raise. I think that should be sufficient to avoid t

I think there are other remedies that would be more palatable. Perhaps making it illegal for ad networks to advertise on stolen content and let Rogers and Bell sue the ad networks that do so. Perhaps requiring Rogers and Bell to sue the pir

It's a different sort of dumb. Britain didn't get more from the EU than it paid in, it was one of the wealthier countries in the EU.

Yeah most of the states opposed to the federal government would never lead because they get a large amount of equalization type payments due to various measures on which they perform worse than successful states. It's nearly impossible

Dedicated gifted classes are the correct way to do these programs. I agree being pulled from an existing class for a bit of enrichment while having to make up everything you missed is not a good way to deliver programs.

Does anyone find the specific distances problematic? Half a mile to the nearest bus seems awfully far for not needing parking. My guess is that this leads to dramatic increases in street parking.

But Equity also argues for treating people differently depending on their needs. Eliminating gifted programs so that all students are treated the same seems to me to be far closer to the equality bucket than any equity one.

When I was in grade 3 there was a standardized test for gifted. While standardized tests do have some racial disparity that disparity seems to be far smaller than letting teachers nominate students for a gifted evaluation rather than having

Gifted programs are extremely important and the width of American gifted programs is a virtue. Canada has a much higher standard for gifted, and in Ontario we generally admit roughly the top 1% of students (many American programs cater to

In some ways the graduate student is working on the most important work of their career. A PhD requires novel publications and if you get scooped on the main result of your thesis so that you don’t end up with the published paper on that to

As evidenced by the hard fork of Ethereum when a smart contract didn't work the way it was supposed to. There clearly is demand for something like transaction disputes.
