We also moved to NL and we love it, even though yeah there are surprisingly still lots of cars here. It's definitely the case that walking/biking has a hugely good effect on individuals and society. Just seeing people on the stree

I bumped a cyclist while I was edging out into a blind intersection (one of those that gets parked up all alongside it) because I was looking one way and he raced in front of me from the other. Like, neither of us really did anything wrong,

I basically agree. We can't rebuild our cities in 7 years, so we have to "patch" cars to be zero emissions. How do you get tens of millions of people to do that in 7 years though? Keep in mind average yearly income is somethi

This is harder than you'd think. There are something like 282 million cars in the US. Let's say we want to replace half of them with a zero emissions EV, so 140m, and those cost $25k. That's $3.5 trillion we're gonna bur

Yeah, maybe. I just think politically a car buyback program will be somehow less popular than a gun buyback program, and outlawing ICEs even less so.

I like this point, my mind immediately goes to "swap your ICE for an EV or an e-bike and $20k". I honestly think that deal is so good you'd see car theft spike. Maybe that's fine? We're in wild times haha.

I really just don't think there's any benefit to trying to fix cars (I keep thinking "stop trying to make fetch/cars happen" from Mean Girls haha). My strong opinion is the way you fix the weight problem in EVs isn&

Well that's the point I think. In practically all of the US you can't even take a sidewalk where you want to go. It gets even worse if you want things like walk signals or to avoid huge intersections, or even mass transit at all.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: building the future around cars of any kind is completely unsustainable. We cannot reproduce the rates of rich world car ownership in the developing world without mass catastrophe (raw ma

AFAIK at least Element/Matrix are actively working on adopting it.

No the thing I'm doing is burying this armchair gwern hogwash with tons of actual research that spans decades.

100% correct. This article circulates every so often but it's basically just super dangerous. Recommend just looking at NIH [0] here. [0]: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=nicotine+site%3Awww.ncbi.nlm.nih.g...

Fair, but the markup bit is still killer. Imagine the engineering hours that have been spent avoiding writing plain old HTML.

It's really hard to prototype w/ static typing. It's not really about mechanics; annotating parameters or return types, that stuff's easy. The problem is that in prototyping you're changing a lot of stuff because yo

To build on to sibling chrismorgan's excellent post, fixed-width fonts/ASCII art/Unicode drawing are a really elegant way to get 80% of what you'd ever want. Getting to 100% involves a full-on rendering system and markup

You're missing the point. I'm saying people are getting super exercised about the "we might sell alternative licenses", but the code's AGPLv3, which everyone should be fine with.

Only if the diff against the Apache version is worth money though, which doesn't seem like it will be for a while. I can think of other more likely scenarios: - Apple forks the Apache version - Microsoft contracts some Element develope

This seems like a tedious point. What are you looking for here, a survey or something? Are you in good-faith interested? I think if you were you'd google around a little.

There's a disagreement between archive's owner and Cloudflare's DNS. If you use a different DNS server (maybe tether w/ your phone) it works.

Well then I don't really understand why you're upset now. Element is doing what everyone says you should do: have a GPL project and sell hosting, support, and proprietary licenses. We can't have the only model be "get do

Much of your comment is speculation and unfounded accusations. > This makes it clear that they intent to ship under some alternative license, for a fee. It makes it clear they intend to ship under the AGPLv3. What's wrong with that?
