You say the rights of that person molesting people on the streets is greater than that of the citizen trying to get to work (or an 8 year old en route to school). That's unacceptable to me. So while I agree with you on mental instituti

100% agreed. How he is not questioned for foreign influence on our election is beyond me. I'm somewhat saying this tongue-and-cheek but for the amount of 'Russian Collusion' that warranted the last 3 years of hysteria, he sho

Agreed. Incentives are not aligned. It seems the unnamed "War on Homelessness" has just created an industry not actually interested in solving the problem. This recent Hoover Institution article had an interesting take seemingly a

The real question is, what do we do with violators? Especially those lost in the head. Adequate mental health institutions seems an appropriate start. But it also needs to be coordinated regionally. San Francisco and LA can not bear the bur

Agreed. And you prove my point in a way. Our litigious (Edit: and racially preferential) culture is part of the issue. A holistic approach is a principled one. Clear laws are principled. For example, noise ordinances in SF say there's

The law is blind. The more we bend this the more our society breaks. Especially in the eyes of our children. Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Justice

The YouTuber Suspicious0bservers somewhat predicted the Quakes via Space Weather: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISfueR4vAhQ . His channel and research are interesting.

Thanks for sharing this. I didn’t know about ‘reduce()’. Only thing I’d add is to use TypeScript.

Is this a surprise to anyone in this community?

A tax would have to be enforced globally to be effective. Are you advocating for an International tax collector? To add to that, you could be the arbiter of “negative externalities” since you have such a good handle on theoretical economics

So if I paid off my loans do I get a check? Or does the dollar keep getting devalued because of policies that sound good?

I disagree. Overall v3 will be more TS friendly as they’re working to make the lib more functional and less reliant on JS syntactic sugar like classes, hocs, and mixins.

Fossil fuel will be phased out when economically rational. Look at what natural gas did to carbon emissions in the US [0] Some Gov intervention may accelerate the change. But overall I’m weary of their efforts. [0] “Natural gas, which emits

Has Dfinity launched yet?

Thanks. You in the Bay by chance?

I hear you. Other languages have those properties. Including TypeScript. In my experience I've found real-world applications, by definition are never as pure and perfect as we like them to be. Users do stupid things, or vendor APIs don

Correct. Interesting you bring up JS, as the Haskellers I spoke of loathed JS and treated it and its developers as below them. But that's just my experience. I hope Lumi was able to gain efficiencies using PureScript and Haskell. And t

by pteredactyl 7y ago
From my experience Haskellers spend more time talking about how perfect and pure Haskell is than building real-world applications.

Yea, they could have a more efficient transfer there. But it doesn't bother me. And I've been on crutches the last 4 months.

by pteredactyl 7y ago
I live in San Francisco. The method of transferring you describe is reasonable to me and congruent with my opinion. It's good they share the station is my main point.

Dang $10B, for how many mile(s)? Where does the City have these discussions?
53.
by pteredactyl 7y ago
I agree. I do not trust $100B in the government's hands. But I do think housing will come naturally (especially if Gov gets out of the way).

Thank you! Can we please think about alternate ways to raise money? How about debt? New privately funded agencies? Refactoring the current budget? My concern is government too worried about losing its grip on the area. Which stifles progres

Article sounded good, but I don't agree with sentiment that many small independent agencies providing public transportation is a bad thing. I'd prefer many independent agencies (public and private) working together (See: Tokyo) th

Exactly. Does Amazon have an army more powerful than the US? No? Then absolutely the government can regulate corporate America. It's a matter of the will of the people. Edit: 20 bucks OP (andrepd) has an Amazon Prime account.

Exactly. I've heard it referred to as 'socialism for the rich'. Or really imo my reading of practical communism. Basically if you 'know a guy in the party' you're good. But it has the veneer of sounding good. T

So says Benioff (the above quote), the man with the largest building downtown. The man who wants to use the City Gov to tax other business out of SF (see Stripe, Prop C). Yea, he wants government to further entrench his position (like Wall

I agree only as far as those entrenched in Washington DC. But would argue 'grassroots' conservatism believes state favored corporations, regardless of ideology, are anti free market.
