I did say rarely, and if you are looking more carefully a pluralistic democracy wasn't really what a lot of the founders were after, especially guys like Jefferson. Sure we're happy we got it, but it wasn't necessarily the ai

This is a deeply sick way of thinking. Mangione was and is a fool, a 3rd rate thinker. His manifesto is muddled, factually mistaken, and by his own words he understood the topic poorly. You only need a cursory knowledge of the late 60s and

NPM by virtue of its popularity and the vagaries of the ecosystem is always going to be a prime target for attackers, and people (maintainers) will always be a weak point.

That's pretty hard to say in a blanket way, I wouldn't want to speculate. But there's never a bad time to fix zoning.

It's really shocking how much underutilized space there is in Manhattan and near Brooklyn/Queens.

You'll notice I specifically said 4 to 8 story buildings.

by ch4s3 5mo ago
Bedrock is only a little lower in the "Midtown Gap", and in any case a lot of those 4 story buildings could be 8-10.

It seems like a place like Manhattan might benefit from first up-zoning the low slung sections that are currently 4-8 stories. My point here is that I'd start with trying to build enough housing before spending political capital on mar

>Israel talked him into it, Trump has hated the Iranian regime since the hostage crisis. He called for Ronald Reagan to invade Iran in a 1987 TV interview. He's been remarkably consistent on this issue.

I'm interested to see how records play out in the ecosystem.

His stated aim has always been Russian imperial resurgence, that's what all of his long tedious speeches are about. It's not like NATO is out soliciting the membership of former Soviet satellites, these places are begging to join

I can agree that the current de facto blockade of oil is an unwarranted act of aggression and that the embargo was bad policy but the embargo was hardly criminal. The premise of the embargo was that Cuba expropriated American property witho

It's pretty funny when you consider how many top people in SV are Chinese, Indian, or Russian and speak English as a second or third language.

This is throat clearing. He very specifically says the refugees are telling the Thai and US interviewers what they want to hear (e.g. lying). He says elsewhere in the article that reports of local party leaders executing people displaced fr

Lucky you, since I know you love links, here’s the rat-bag’s own site[1]. > Specifically, refugees questioned by Westerners or Thais have a vested interest in reporting atrocities on the part of Cambodian revolutionaries, an obvious fact

You'll note that I specified that China has no real broad pension system that can fund people in retirement and instead leans on the cultural norm of children taking care of their parents in old age. The (socialist) one child policy ma

So the Chinese government making retirement unaffordable, making it impossible to invest in equities, under funding pensions, and then attacking the last thing people can invest in for retirement savings is what won Gen Z?

You can provide cheap labor inside of a trading block and still be economically a mess, Mexico comes to mind and Turkey was sending workers to parts of Europe starting in the late 1940s. Poland did a lot more than just supply cheap labor, a

The person who built this directly cites Terry as the inspiration.

by ch4s3 5mo ago
I don’t find that to be a very compelling argument.
235.
by ch4s3 5mo ago
Well there are plenty of countries that aren't facing those conditions now, or in the recent past and still have shitty economies. It undersells how hard it is to build a strong economy and therefore undersells how hard Poland has work

We have 2 anti-capitalist parties right now that shower largess on on their favored interests.

It’s inevitable that some country would do it, but not inevitable that any given nation would do so, except maybe the CCP.
