The issue isn't purely house vs apartment. It's a symptom of our neighborhood design. Not Just Bikes has a really good video on why suburbia (usually single family housing) is often worse for children than denser environments. ht

There are people who use social media without the desire to be "seen" or recommended to random people via an algorithm. But beyond that the difference is that with the Arkansas law, users don't have the _choice_ to remain ano

As long as there's a system to whitelist specified numbers of ahead of time to be free, I think it would work out. Companies would just tell customers ahead of time what number they'd be calling from

It's actually the opposite. The issue with this argument is that denser environments are actually able to serve _more_ businesses -- mom-and-pop markets and niche stores are able to survive. Right now I live a 5 minute walk from two se

There's a book called "There Are No Accidents" that goes into depth discussing this fallacy that you should read. https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2022/02/15/excerpt-there-are-no-...

Of course there are other reasons to avoid a purely cash-free society, but couldn't the Swiss government just limit the transaction rates/fees like the the EU? > caps interchange fees at 0.2% of the transaction value for consum

The auto industry mounted an oppressive PR campaign to convince the public that streets are for cars, not people. For example, by inventing the word "jaywalking" [1]. The way things are going, something very similar is going to ha

The process is a feedback loop though. People drive because everything is so spread out. The corner stores die because people don't walk past anymore. Rinse and repeat. Electric cargo bikes are the last bastion of hope here. https:&#x

Only one of those is valid: a sales tax affects electric and ICE vehicles equally. The gas tax _is_ the excise tax (unless you have another example?). But yes, the gas tax is exactly what the prior commenter is looking for. It's just f

I see this in some Rust crates, as you can implement traits for built-in, primitive types. For instance, the `embedded_time` crate lets you do 200.microseconds() 5.Hz() https://docs.rs/embedded-time/latest&

An even better analogy would be a mailing list, instead of directly emailing/cc-ing recipients. Definitively not "private messaging". If I delete my email account, and/or remove it from the list, there's no expectat

If it's just parental complaint, surely every state would have "banned" books? I find it unlikely that no parent in all of California complained (to who?) about a book.

Agreed. The value is in being able to know _what_ to search in conjunction with knowing _how_ to compose the amalgamated resources together to derive a solution to the question at hand -- all in a timely manner. Simply knowing a generic fac

Something I often use stacked diffs for is deprecation -> removal flows. 1. Deprecate old feature + add opt-in support for replacement 2. Make replacement default with opt-out for old pattern 3. Completely remove old feature and the opt-
