You also see over representation of coders climbing and in the martial arts (particularly grappling) - I've done both myself. I'd do wood working if I had the space. I don't really know why its like this, except that they a

Seattle is geographically constrained. Most/all of the old cities (and metros) have sprawled to ungodly degrees like atlanta or la. How do you undo 70 years of development (ie, tens or hundreds of billions of dollars) spent on sprawl

In addition to the comments below, complexity in software is just as often driven by politics/organizational structure. There is no solution in software to that problem.

No, in my estimate, its more like, you have to be willing to piss some people off to make stuff go. Perhaps better wording would be that you can't accomplish things without sacrifice. We aren't willing to do that. You can'

Yeah I know - I used to live a block away (`~` is markdown for strike through). The original plan, in the 90s I think, was to put some rail down, but it was abandoned in lieu of a bus line. They spent 10 years doing planning, then I want

This was a pretty disappointing take in my estimate. It mostly seems to spend its time scapegoating republicans while ignoring the elephant in the room. CA is building a 100 billion train from Bakersfield (379,879) to Merced (84,081). SF,

I'd guess the vast majority of cities Netherlands predate cars by centuries. They were already "designed" without cars in mind. That is not true in the US, and doubly so for the post war, suburban construction boon.

Debt forgiveness is indeed an extreme, perverse incentive. Capping federal aid seems unthinkable. Asking something of all of those grads (service) on behalf of forgiving their debt also seems unthinkable. Forgiving college loans is a wea

Lots of people can talk about code but not write it. Way more in fact!

Have you ever worked with a really bad hire? Someone totally incompetent at doing the job? In my personal experience, that person completely tanks the productivity and moral of the entire team. I’ll also point out you are not doing that p

1. Technology is making us more productive! Way, way more productive. More or less all of the gains are captured by tech companies who make the technology. 2. Technology is not necessarily adopted for productivity. It is often adopted to

> if that's the case, it doesn't explain why Google's software and product quality has been declining steadily. Why do you assume that poor products are poor products chiefly because of code?

Your response to “America is polarized because of misperceptions” is to double down on polarization and misperceptions claiming in fact, we don’t have enough of either?

Yeah, I don’t get it. The poor have always been with us - much more so in the past. Obesity is something modern. A ton of cuisine comes from poor people food the world over…

Oil wells last more than 4 years. Most of these colleges have effectively no endowment and not close to enough state funding. Maybe leasing cars or code boot camps?
