I figured looking up tall residential building and seeing what they do would be a good indicator of norms. The tallest Residential building in New York is Central Park Tower at 98 above ground floors: The residential stories have casement

When it works, sure. You don't generally sleep for extended periods in an office though, so would probably notice it getting stuffy. Sleeping or bedridden people might not notice or be able to easily do something about it though if oxy

My understanding is you have to fix this when changing to residential. There are building codes requires to be met for residential housing, and normally that includes openable window space for both ventilation and egress in an emergency. Ma

by kbenson 2y ago
It's less about natural light than ventilation. If whatever ventilation systems the building uses breaks down, interior rooms without opening windows are a liability.

Most (all?) states in the U.S. require state licenses to practice, and you can't get much more regulatory than that, so yes, I count that. There have been a few different reports put out about the current situation and how vets are bei

Requiring a degree or certification (at a legal leval) is a form of regulation. That it's costly and time consuming just makes that regulation a larger barrier. If you can somehow remove much of those people that already have the means

Ideally you'd expect the market to deal with it how it normally does, which is to have people open up competing practices to undercut them. I think the problem is that VC has correctly identified this as not only a field where people a

You have a much more optimistic view of the current state of public discourse than I do. There are plenty of organizations and people ready to tear down anything seen as against the party line for their own benefit. It's so much easier

Money isn't the motivator I worry about. Money requires people to make rational decisions about what they think they can get away with. Threatening someone's family? Who wouldn't be willing to turn their access to a project i

I don't know, but I think you and I have vastly different base assumptions. Its a huge legal liability to have statements about how data won't be used and then use it, when you're a company that might compete in similar spa

That's possible, but I'm not convinced it's as simple as that. Machines able to understand the information means more machine generated information that is similar but with small differences which may or may not be useful and

What is going on here? This story and these comments are from a day (or a few?) ago but are showing as hours old. Caching?

Honestly, I was more referring to the general market portion, not the specific governmental decision making, but that does appear to be the context of this thread, even though I missed it originally. I agree that for governmental decision m

Market manipulation? Stupidity? In any case, it doesn't have to be political to want to avoid possible problems from a CEO that keeps running afoul of regulatory requirements, whether accidentally or purposefully. https://ww

I think what this comment is missing is any sort of analysis of how your experience maps to the general go user, and an opinion on while you've never needed either whether you think it could have provided any benefit when used approp

So, obviously there is also interpreting that statement in a vacuum, which I sort of did, and interpreting it as a criticism of this current proposal. I think it's slightly ambiguous what was meant, even given it's location, becau

I don't think it is, which is my point. It's essentially saying "I wish people with BEHAVIOR PROBLEM would do THING THAT MAY HELP MITIGATE PROBLEM." There is no statement of the size of that group, or how many people exh

I'm not sure if you're expressing what you think you are. They outlined a group by nature of the problem (so the people in question have something to improve, tautalogically), so it's not like they are painting with an overly

Almost no vehicle manufacturers make all their own parts, and vetting the source of every part to make sure also were all made in the states would just mean that some parts are unavailable. Also, its important to think of the other side of
