It depends on the size of cooperative how much you have to be involved --- if it's only one house, you'll surely have to be involved. Other coops have thousands of members, in these you can choose to just be a renter (in fact most

There is a solution to the housing problem besides home ownership and renting: Housing cooperatives. These are still relatively common in Germany, my parents live in a flat owned by a cooperative and are consistently paying less rent than I

I was more referring to the fact that EA promotes philanthropy instead of asking why we have inequalities in the first place. So it evades questions of redistribution or fairness in a similar fashion as PG. I'm not quite sure how stron

My two cents on why his writings are popular: - He uses anecdotal evidence which appears to be sound at first. Looking at the top 100 billionaires seems to give a good idea on how wealth is created and distributed, but really it is only a g

The author puts Gödel's Incompleteness and the Continuum hypothesis on the same level, which is misleading. The continuum hypothesis is unprovable in our current mathematical foundation ZFC, but there are extensions to ZFC that either

I would hardly say it shows the effectiveness of philanthropy - this is just one college and has very limited effects on the healthcare system as a whole. In Germany for instance higher education is free everywhere, I don't see how thi

You are right, they solved the particular problem I highlighted with Modifiers. But the main question remains: Why don't they utilize the progess we made in decades of research for better programming languages? The argument that Solidi

I didn't have high expectations for Solidity considering the recent vulnerabilities, but even these were disappointed. If some guy writes this kind of code at home, alright, but this as the alleged foundation for our future financial s

The CCC used an old digicam at medium distance. It is quite likely that such a photo is on FB, Instagram etc. Side note: The CCC even recovered the fingerprint of the Germany's defense minister from a photo: https://www.theg

I can obtain an image of you online, while I need to be on-site to spot you typing your pin. So if I have your phone, I can do research at home to break in. Additionally, you cannot change your iris once it's compromised. This is an ab

For me it was the finding that mathematics is quite arbitrary. There is no deeper meaning in using functions, sets or logic, it just seems to work. These still are just models of the world for us.

Yeah the load balancer was just intended for the application servers. Running a hot DB secondary with just read accesses is possible by setting up manually, but tends to require a lot of maintenance work during updates in our experience. To

We have such an application running on DO, 100k visitors users a month. We have a big application server running and other servers for DB (postgres and redis) and static files (which is basically a nginx mirror). So far, we are satisfied. O

This requires that you actually want to lose weight and do something about it. Obese people often have a low socio-economic status [1]. If you are marginalized, eating may be an outlet for frustration. You won't buy special stuff to lo

I don't think that's a problem that is solvable with technology. It's a social problem. Less social inequality and better education, taxes on unhealthy food, less working hours. That would be necessary to tackle the problem.
