I don't disagree to be honest because there are plenty of US cities where you can't do much in terms of urbanism even if you had the skills to build. They were built at the wrong era, for cars. They are just not dense enough.

I think your error here is that you assume that politics do not exist everywhere people are involved. A tram recently got built where my parents live near Paris. They had to involve something like 15 cities, 3 departments, one region, the F

Yes, exactly. US engineers are obviously not dumber than the ones from other countries, they are just doing other kind of work.

Germany has unions four time stronger than France and it has no issue building stuff. Union bashing is dumb story telling to keep the taxes of billionaires low.

Would it be wrong to say that the US has lost the engineering skills necessary to build this kind of big projects? During World War II the US was an mind blowingly efficient juggernaut of public projects, but it seems that it has lost is wa

Personally I prefer to have a boss that lives on planet Earth So if I worked at Twitter and was not on the list of people he thought he needed to fire after reviewing swiftly millions of lines of code, I would make plans to leave ASAP

To be honest the thing that worries me most about the dumb Las Vegas tunnel, is not that he had a bad idea. I have bad ideas all the time too. But my bad ideas don't turn into dumb tunnels because I have limited resources (he doesn&#x2

My cynical guess: Elon Musk's big plan is simply to build a huge personality cult around him and Twitter is perfect for that. It's not enough for him to be exceptionally rich, he wants to be adulated . He wants to hear he is the

if that can help, you can email me a shitty first draft and ask for feedback if writing the whole things with all the historical research sounds like a daunting task https://jmfayard.dev/

Does anyone know of any small library in JavaScript/python/go/rust or any language that people use to write CLI apps that makes it trivially easy to implement this spec, even better if it also supports similar conventions for

Great in which sense? I would argue that git is easy because you are already familiar with it, but it doesn't make shared documentation simple. How could he do that? Do you think that Linus Torvalds had a use case similar to Wikipedia

by anonyme-honteux 4y ago
The right way to manage documentation is to have some kind of a wiki, not to use git. Git is terrible at managing documentation, it was designed for her bazaar-style software projects like the Linux kernel, which is very much a completely d

This is a very common straw man argument against unions and it's indeed not one that you are using. I think we are both right.

by anonyme-honteux 4y ago
Fair enough. Then if was you I would express similar concerns because the Koch brothers and powerful economic players in general have by definition way more power over political decisions - or non decisions - and our lives than the unions.

by anonyme-honteux 4y ago
What is strange though is that we hear all the time about unions being sometimes full of corruption, but not about the other political players. Aren't the democratic and the republican party sometimes corrupted? What about the Koch Br

I'm not from the US so I may offer the viewpoint of an outsider It seems pretty obvious to me that if you find that some US unions are rather bad, which is probably true because most of everything is bad, the right solution would be to

The point is usually the "model minorities" are the subgroups that are treated well by the rest of the population. That's why they can unleash their true potential in the first place. So is that a good argument for treating o

Have you asked asian americans if they like to be displayed as the model minority? I mean in Europe jews are the model minority, it's obviously true now, it was not the case before as we all know.

I see you argue in good faith, thanks for that. Martin Luther King didn't talk all his life about race because he wanted to but because he had to : it's the structural problem #1 of the USA. Obviously things are better than in his

The "model minority" myth is not an argument against the existence of racism. It's a divide-and-conquer strategy used by racists to fend off the critics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_minority
