probably lower their standards regarding what constitutes "a place worth living". I'm renting a very nice studio for $1450 right now. 3BR rowhouses on my block are $1800-2000.

on the flip side, I would question the premise that owning the building you live in is a good thing to begin with. why is it good for people to have so much of their wealth tied up in a single property? why is it good for people to experien

I don't think it's necessarily that bad when there's a single large company that dominates a space. from a user's perspective, google search is probably better than any alternative involving four or five competitors on e

often in multiplayer factorio playthroughs you get one player who becomes the defacto "lead dev". it takes some nontrivial organization to get subgoals completed in a way that people aren't blocking each other. a common mista

I don't think it would have a huge bias towards gamers in general. the real issue would be people who already happen to be good at factorio. if you play with experienced people, it's easy to pick up on a lot of efficient patterns

there are some very specific items I am still having trouble finding. close substitutes are available, but I'm willing to wait for the exact thing I want. looks like the picture of graceful degradation to me.

I made a similar observation in april 2020. everyone was saying that covid was exposing the inherent fragility of JIT shipping or even the entire system of capitalism. in reality, the worst that happened was toilet paper was out of stock fo

same thing happened to my family many years ago. I don't think there's any way around it. there's a reason why they set up on the road to the airport. they know it's easily worth $100 to americans not to miss their fligh

not that I really disagree with you, but "fair" isn't an argument; it's an opinion. you're clearly arguing with someone who doesn't agree with using income/wealth as a criterion for fairness.

I think anyone who's had a job must realize that some waste goes on in the private sector. but a business that wastes more than it profits will eventually be sold for parts. a government isn't subject to the same constraints and c

"flat tax" is a red herring that happens to be very appealing to a certain cluster of political ideologies. it's not necessarily regressive though. imagine a flat consumption tax where 90% of the proceeds were allocated to se

first of all, I don't think "impoverish" is quite the right word. if you have a 9700k and I buy a 10900k, my cpu is faster, but your cpu is no slower than it was yesterday. past that, I don't really understand what there

it depends? when I was a kid, my tennis instructor used to prop up pictures of osama bin laden on hitting targets. a little odd to do with young children, but not a big deal I don't think. if "islamic terrorist" means a pictu

there's not much you can say about zoning in america as a whole. every locality has its own set of complicated rules. some places make a hard distinction between residential (and even types of homes) and commercial zones. some allow ce

I think this has more to do with you and the local culture (like, block-by-block) than urban vs. suburban. in the suburbs, you can drive back and forth between your home garage and office and never speak to anyone. but you can do the same t
