Mainland China already does this. The extent to which this is a real solution are pretty dubious. When the local rules are reasonable and local everything is fine, but a large enough country the government can start trying to use its weigh

This has a very old man yells at cloud vibr. We could debate whether Chomsky is really an authority on this topic given the course of history, but such a glib dismissal just lacks imagination. A very hard problem is now effectively solved t

Good point. Thank you for clarifying. The legalization of multi-family homes would not prevent this trend but zoning for owner occupied units seems like a reasonable policy to shift the outcomes.

You don’t need a lawn to have equity. There a plenty to frameworks that can offer equity in these recently legalized multi-family dwellings. Condominiums, duplexes, townhouses to make a few.

The helium is generally the biggest cost for a launch. You generally need welding grade helium instead of the party balloon variety which costs more. The price fluctuates a lot because of some complicated economics related to natural gas pr

At the end of the day I feel like you are correct in practice but the advice to follow mathematical relationships is still solid. Yes you are probably going to need to deviate from the mathematical relationship at some points, but these are

From the sound of it the problem is less about making software and more about your job. A piece of advice that I have seen crop up a few times on this subject is to figure out how to distinguish what you do from where you do it. Programming

This is a clever method and I appreciate that you posted the Wolfram alpha link - always happy when people show their work and I did not realize that you could do things like include (diameter of moon) as variables with it. This is a nit, b

Yeah because it’s the biggest new contributor. Technically water is the biggest green house gas but there are good reasons for focusing on CO2.

by blululu 4y ago
Huh? We are clearly tinkering with the atmospheric CO2 levels on a massive scale. But also CO2 is a cause not a symptom. It only becomes a symptom when the solubility of the ocean changes and carbon is released.

Or maybe she just got unlucky. Attributing skillful planning/execution to a company that publicly announced that it has made a series of large mistakes seems like a stretch.

This feels like a cheap take. Consider any number of small businesses just starting out (a local juice bar, a fitness service, a mobile app, a game...). They have a good product that makes their customers happy. The problem is they only hav

I suspect that it is about availability. Strawberries are only available for a few months each year. Bananas are easy to find on the go. Of course eating greens kale/broccoli is cheaper, more nutritious and more traditional so maybe th

The market cap has grown by ~10x in that time and the number of products that the company makes/maintains has also increased a lot in that time (both number of products and total unit volume). Doubling the staff does not seem unreasona

Not necessarily. It would take a pretty tremendous gerrymander to give the Greens (as an example) a seat in the state legislature. At the point where they held a meaningful percent of the vote we could easily incorporate their voters into t

I don't think that I am understanding the objection. The idea is that the legislature should roughly match the popular vote. Having a legislature that proportionately represents the demographics and opinions of the populace is essentia

Interesting - from this data it does appear that US is on the lower end of the spectrum. I will say that this dataset is very hard to parse - a lot of information and very little is apples to apples in a simple ranked chart. Also some count

Consider the growing list of CEO who have "taken full responsibility" for layoffs without taking on any of the downside. Even on a symbolic level this is the right thing to do, but practically speaking it signals some sense of ski

There are plenty of ways to respond to market conditions without kicking people to the curb. Most companies have performance reviews to do exactly this.
