Derek Guy once wrote about why Japan has so many artisans thanks to the lower rent and higher density. https://web-cdn.bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c...

A solution is to build transportation first and build housing afterwards. In Japan, rail companies are also real estate developers who buy the land around the stations and capture the increased land value. US rail companies used to do the s

Former libertarian here. One the principals of libertarianism is that you cannot do others harm and if you do so you have to compensate them. The issue with that idea is risk management. How do you compensate someone whose products and serv

Modern dress pants are often too tight, but with well fitting dress pants it's like you are not wearing any pants at all. For example classic design features like pleats provide extra comfort when sitting down. I don't think I eve

Imo wool trousers are more comfortable than jeans. It's like wearing pyjamas.

Why do they need a loan if BTC makes them an economic powerhouse?

It’s just a consumption tax that can be wrapped in strong man rhetoric.

Looks great. I have heard Finland has very affordable housing. Yeah I do agree we should build better housing now than post WW2 economies. The main point I want to make is that affordable housing is already solved.

Yeah if you really want to end homelessness you will find a way, if not, you will find excuses.

People hate om commie blocks but it was an excellent solution to mass produce affordable housing in war torn Europe. The free market is full of cheap mass produced stuff. Why can't housing be mass produced? Why are there not more econo

X is by far the least fun social media app. I tried it and I never got the appeal. Just stick to insta for lighthearted content.

We are at a stage where we are discussing edge cases of euthanasia and it's all related to widening the use; these discussions mostly happen among professionals. There is pretty much no discussion anymore on "vanilla" euthana

We have euthanasia in the Netherlands for decades now and there haven't been any controversies as far as I know. It's a solved problem and the discussion here is over. I do agree that the laws and procedures have to be carefully c

How much fruit do you have to eat before it becomes harmful? I can imagine juice can easily be over consumed but solid fruit is very satiating.

Isn’t this how it is supposed to work in America? People own guns to fight tyranny. The gunman carried out his own judgment, but that’s the whole point. And there is reasonable belief that the CEO is responsible for a lot of suffering and e

The biggest problem are state actors. They have infinite resources and have completely different motives from most normal users. I follow football (soccer) news, and it's refreshing and interesting to see news that is not contaminated

There can be bad implementations, but I am not against it in principle. There is no reason why music has to come only from the front like in case of stereo.

It’s music for the eyes. Paintings don’t have to be realistic. Abstract visuals can really tickle your brain. This can be a great starting point to go on a new journey and discover what you like.

It seems to me that the whole study was intended to manufacture a result to grab headlines. Scientific clickbait. It doesn't matter how transparent they are, because that is mostly there to cover their asses.

Yeah dying sucks. Too many people have this delusion that their death will happen peacefully in their sleep. There is no guarantee whatsoever. Good chance it will be awful. If needed, I want to have the option for myself to get over with it

Suburbs are most of the time a forced housing solution. Allow people more freedom how to use the land they own. Have simple and sensible regulations on nuisance levels and light coverage. Japan is a good example where it works.

I live in Amsterdam. The freedom to do all your errants and entertainment by bike or walking is amazing. I can literally walk to the zoo, walk to the market, and walk to endless bars and restaurant. The things is this is not some liberal, 1

Many (I think most) monitors have an audio output port. I think that's good enough for most people. Audiophiles use external DACs anyway.

In Japan, rail companies also own the land around the station. There is often a mall or office right on top of the station. So they capture a more of the value of having public transport. In western countries land lords benefit a lot from n

Experience drivers often consider driving to be a relaxing activity. With FSD you practically become a driving instructor who has to super alert all the time.

In Dutch we say “verdieping” which roughly interprets as an additional floor above the ground floor. It originally referred to attics with deeper floors: https://onzetaal.nl/taalloket/verdieping-verhoging
