i think its bad when the private auto manufacturer prevents public infrastructure from being built, personally.

musk's companies do this precisely in part because it's inefficient. By lobbying hard against good transit infrastructure and building flashy but sucky alternatives, they lock in dependance on their product, automobiles.

I _rent_ a home, as do a full half of new york state residents. I'd love an electric stove. Every rental I've ever lived in has a gas stove and no fume hood. The full half of new yorkers who rent - almost 20 million people - mostl

This seems akin to drinking a whole liter of vodka as your very first drink and concluding that no one should drink alcohol, ever.

And to be fair to you, I do concede that the process of learning CSS is messier and requires a bit more rote memorization than learning a "real" programming language.

I'm also pretty bad at things i only dabble in. My Spanish is terrible, but that's not because Spanish is an inherently flawed language. It's because I haven't put in the consistent work to get good at it.

CSS is so cool, I've been writing it for a decade and I still keep leaning new, interesting things. Ty for sharing this!

Can you imagine how annoying it would be to be one of the bariastas working when Schultz shows up and is just in your way for 4 hours?

The appeal of cigs/junkfood/etc is obvious. No one enjoys the autoplaying video ads at the gas pump.

My dad's been physically disabled my entire life. Those "stupid" ADA rules make it possible for him to navigate public spaces

I imagine a lot of the cost & time for public projects is precisely because they have to be contracted out to private developers. If the government had construction workers & equipment on it's own payroll (like we do for police

In my city, we had a month of enormous BLM protests. The result was an increase police budget and less funding for schools and parks. I honestly don't see that kind of mostly peaceful mass protest as productive anymore.

Then kroger buys them, like they've been doing for years.

Surely this is less cost effective (and probably less effective in general) than just hiring a convo partner on italki or something.

I paused the video at 1:24 to come here and I already know exactly what this video is about. Maybe your listening comprehension skills are lacking

Yeah, this strikes me similarly to the all-electric Hummer SUV. What on earth are we doing here.

This is good, in the way that filtered cigarretes are better than unfiltered. As long we we keep building & being forced to live in low density, single-family houses, we'll keep consuming the huge physical and energy resources nece

How convenient it is that, whenever capitalism has a negative effect, people rush to say "oh but its not real capitalism, they're doing it wrong. That would never happen"

If that were broadly true, then highly urbanized, dense cities would be cheaper. But we see the opposite. Manhattan has some of the highest rents and most expensive real estate in the nation. People want to live near their jobs, their schoo

Almost every town in the US used to have these kinds of livable zones. Every "historic downtown" used to be a place where people lived and worked. You'd walk to the pharmacy, or the hardware store, or the grocery. You could l

Retail theft as a new/major issue is mostly a lie, told by corporations and parroted by the media who love a crimewave story, even if its fabricated. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/06/business/walgr

Well yeah, a "15-minute-city" kinda precludes the 10-acres-of-asphalt style development. I live in brooklyn, exactly the kind of city described. I'm within a 10 minute walk of at least 4 grocery stores, none of which have a p

Man, this is one of the more soulless comments ive read on HN. Imagine the father who's been locked up on trumped up drug charges, now unable to get a letter from his kid. You could only arrive at your opinion if you think that the US

Extensively, yes. Having housing & non-housing in the same area is rare in much of the US.

Palladium is a Thiel-backed rightwing propaganda outlet that insists it's "non partisan". It's a shame to see t shared here

No way, The Economist, a right wing publication, is against non-carceral drug policy. Who could have predicted that.

This is imprisonment without conviction, no matter how you gussy it up. It's unsurprising. NYC elected a cop as mayor, and his only idea for solving the city's problems is more policing. It hasn't worked in the past, and it w

You'd be surprised what you can get on a bicycle with just a rear rack and a bag. It does require a bit more planning ahead, which I'll admit can be annoying.

That's what gets me about this. Launching a subscription system makes sense, but discontinuing the verification system and repurposing it as a subscription system makes no sense.
