Ah, I think I understand but the logic still seems a little twisted. Gentrification is an economic process, so the passport of the gentrifier doesn't really matter here. Part of the reason I was confused is because -- at least where I

Neighborhoods are constituted by people not just shitty new wood frame construction.

Does the community actually receive "investment" if the investment causes the community to no longer exist? I think you're mistaking the process that happens here. Investment targets a geographic area, but that doesn't m

The fed does plenty of things that are outside of the scope of it's charter. Further, we can just change the law, this isn't some immutable truth of central banks. Even within the scope of the fed's mandate we could invent wa

The feds balance sheet is imaginary who cares if it gets paid back.

The fed might not, but the treasury does. The Fed balance sheet is imaginary anyway.

No, that's incorrect. It's not 100% loss on those funds unless they take the money and bury it in a pit. The money will just return to the treasury, not the fed. The fed's balance sheet is imaginary anyway.

Sure, but they do subsidize Walmart. As for other sectors, we should take national ownership in the company if they want us to buy their debt.

The laws and very fundamental structure of this nation is designed to protect wealthy property owners and disenfranchise the working poor.

There's no way that buying corporate debt could ever be more efficient than direct cash payments to those employees. This is a bad argument.

I find pretty much everything the Fed does alarming.

Most doesn't just have to refer to absolute quantity, it can also refer to a relative measure. Either way, it's a shit load of dead people, not sure what your point is.

How about direct cash payments to consumers instead of involving any private enterprise.

Most of the food I've gotten from ghost kitchens has been pretty okay, but it's still way too expensive, especially if you're a good tipper. I'm a well paid software engineer, so I can afford to pay like $20 surcharge on

Syntax is the least interesting thing about a language (unless it's a lisp ^^). Why not different syntax for closures?

How the technology you develop is used is an "external issue"? Ivory tower much?

wow, it's almost like people are more important than property.

> it’s easy to reuse any past functionality that you’ve already created If you look closely, those aren't angle brackets, they're characters from the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which are allowed in Go identifiers.

Readability has multiple dimensions, of which "difficulty" is only one. The parent post is not talking about golang being confusing, but rather being verbose and low density, which makes it easier for bugs to hide when reviewing.

This assumes the creation of intellectual property is socially productive in itself. There's plenty of an actual property that doesn't need to exist, even if it costs a lot of money to develop. There's no reason the state cou

Yeah that would be a great argument if it wasn't for the fact that anyone who can afford a lawyer is never going to go to jail for unpaid tickets.

I mean, I don't think we need to have an immediate regulatory answer to recognize it's a kind of scummy practice. Just because the consumer is too stupid to recognize the scumminess of the practice doesn't make it not scummy.

Run Emacs as a daemon/server and then connect with emacsclient in the terminal. Will start up in about the same time as Vim.

This is why you write Lisp in Emacs. :)
