Instead of actually thinking of how the system works or how to change it, we get this stupid law from stupid people. Classic government.

Are you sure it’s not recency bias? Like when you learn a new word and hear it everywhere?

I dunno, a lot of people in NYC live above Duane Reade’s, or Best Buy’s or whatever.

How does that reduce costs, though?

It's pretty obvious why men at better are spatial cognition tests. Men were the primary hunters and needed to navigate complex spaces with little reference points away from camp for days a time. Because of this, there was probably a st

I'm not sure why mixed use developments fell out of favor for a long time, but that's the solution, really.

Is that a problem? Isn't that how technology should work?

I don't like this idea, just like I don't like the idea of ESG ETFs and whatnot. It presupposes what is ethical and what is not, despite the obvious personal nature of the problem. The 300 "ethical" alternatives are just

I think colonization (at least the latter parts, maybe WWI and after) has been unjustly demonized. I live in a previously colonized country, and let me tell you, The Germans and then the British knew how to run this country better than the

Are you suggesting your phone recorded you and your coworkers and then suggested ads based on that? Maybe I'm not paranoid enough, but I find that.. improbable? Not out of the question, I guess, but still pretty improbable. Maybe you c

Being a non-technical founder seems like a huge disadvantage. You literally are unable to develop and maintain your product without paying other people or giving out equity. The number one most important thing with a fledgling startup is se

You can buy these plastic things that clip into the seatbelt so the beeper doesn’t activate. I have one and they work well.

Not if the government/insurance gets involved.

I’m not that well versed in gene therapy, but for pharmaceuticals the calculus is as follows: It takes billions of dollars and decades for a new drug to be put on the market. In addition to the cost, there’s the risk of the FDA not approvin

By your logic, we might as well just take away free will as well.

Taking away choice and making something illegal are two different things.

I mean, ideally you could get rid of the performance hit from syscalls as you could run the app and the barebones kernel in the same address space. You could also get rid of pages, virtual memory, and have a very fast malloc implementation.

I watch movies with my wife and we talk about the good ones for years. Watching good content is stimulating and makes you think about it for the rest of your life.

It’s unfortunate, even on private sites there aren’t as many seeders as they used to be. I have a hard time finding well seeded content from 90s, 80s, and 70s. 10 years ago, things were so much better.

I have a Fitbit charge3 and I really like it. I have only had it for 6 months, so I can’t speak to it’s reliability. The only thing I wish it had was an alarm that would wake me up at a specific level of sleep, like rem sleep.

Monads in my experience are less likely used for IO than people think. Of course Haskell developers use monads in this way, but OCaml and Scala programmers generally avoid this. Instead monads are used to unify the foundation of many types:

I've always wondered, what is the overhead of an OS (say Linux), compared to a stand-alone binary? Maybe some here could answer the question: What kind of differences would you see for nginx on HermiTux vs Linux? Less memory usage, mor

Have you read A Clockwork Orange? A great book about the moral fallacy of taking away choice in the name of the greater good.

This is clearly anti-consumerist, just like those cars that beep when you don’t wear a seatbelt. I don’t care if drunk driving is bad, I would never buy a car with this technology. Moreover, there are situations in which this is more danger

Do you actually know what rent seeking means? Hint: it involves the government.

To be clear, I don't think there should be a congestion tax in the first place. But flat prices are how everything else works in a free market, so it seems fairer than carve-outs or god-forbid, a progressive congestion tax. Which sound

by mruts 8y ago
It's not like having carve outs makes it any less regressive. It just allows the government to paper over a very complex problem with a naive and simple "solution". Unfortunately, this sort of thinking has been the dominant m

There already are way too many articles explaining monads on the internet. For some reason, it's many bloggers favorite subject. But I'll give it a go, I suppose. A functor is a type that represents turning something into somethin

I'm not that familiar with Rust, but what is the rational against higher-kinded types? Is it a technical limitation that everyone agrees is a limitation, or is there some rationale why higher-kinded types in Rust are not useful? This i

by mruts 8y ago
The carve-outs are precisely the problem with the congestion pricing. If everyone in mid-town just had to pay a flat fee, fine, that seems somewhat fair. But now every interest group is rent-seeking and going to lobby to be exempt. That&#x2
