We need to be building more housing in general. The low density housing in cities is certainly an issue for cities but not everyone lives in (or wants to live in) cities. At the end of the day a housing unit is a housing unit and if you mak

No you don't.

It's not zoning, there's plenty of space that's permissibly zoned. The way credit works heavily discourages people from building houses and only lets them buy housing that's already built. EDIT: Yes the way things are is

I'd rather deal with a lot of small fraud than have the entire nation captured by a single massive inescapable fraud. That's why I don't mind crypto.

I for one have gotten rid of my smartphone. Where the PC extended your mind smartphones are only tools for corporations to manipulate you.

The internet is probably the very last thing I would associate with "rule by the few." I don't know what this guy is on about.

I think software development in general makes thinking about anything that isn't immediately pragmatic very difficult. HN tends to be pretty rough when it comes to Politics or the harder parts of Philosophy.

Maybe you could substitute it with a very good homeschool co-op. Public school has gotten borderline abusive lately in most places.

I don't know why this was downvoted. There's a pretty solid floor for the cost of housing in the US and WFH has only solidified it. It doesn't really matter what you're willing to put up with, you can't really get b

Regardless, most non-White races vote almost exclusively democrat. Also if you check the data it's only really White people who ignore race (although since it's been shoved in our face we're starting to pay more attention.)

I think it's probably too late for this and you're better off bracing for the inevitable conflict.

No. Even with the high immigration rate our population is shrinking. We're about to enter a disintigrative phase. Things are going to get worse and they'll stay that way for quite a while.

This is by design. Most of the laws are supposed to be state/local in the US and the federal government is only supposed to help coordinate/defend them.

Meh. For low bandwidth internet applications nothing in 2G is really a problem. Everything on the internet uses strong crypto for authentication these days. It would be nice to not have to replace cellular equipment every few years and have

I think you can see some of this sort of thing in his later writing but most of it is unaffected IMO. The other thing to remember about dead writers is that they're products of their surrounding culture. People freak out about HP Lovec

All this counter-intuitive crap is why I don't ever even open LinkedIn.

I've always loved Milkytracker. It might not be exactly what you want but it's pretty popular and a lot of fun.

Lincoln also expected the newly freed slaves to go somewhere else and not stay.

Thank goodness honestly, I wish my CEO had that kind of backbone.

The Linux desktop is unpopular because people don't like the responsibility that comes with freedom. People like ChromeOS just like they like candy.

What makes crypto special is that you can easily replace corrupt middlemen yourself where you absolutely cannot with traditional banks.

I completely disagree. You can't go preemptively flattening every country you don't like (I mean, we did for a little while and all it seems to have done is made a bigger mess.)

Unless it's a land war we're more than able to defeat China with what we've got now and their future looks very dim due to the demographic bomb they've created so that's unlikely to change. I'm not too sure it

I'm pretty sure these sorts of restrictions will just slow down construction. IMO: the real problem is that it's very hard for individuals to get loans for construction easily (and the ones you can get are extremely risky becaus

This is what I mean when I say "kicked out." You're forced to move away from everything and everyone you know.

I'm not sure willingness matters as much in the military as you seem to think.

No it's not, most developed countries force their populations to accept immigrants to keep the population growing in order to prop up the "growth" economy.

Is it? What countries is it solved in? Do their demographics look like ours (hint: no.) Most of us get by just fine without healthcare. Some of us certainly could use it but that's not what nearly all of us care about right now, that i

At least you have a partner. If you're on your own you're absolutely fucked. Not only are you alone but everyone else is out to get you. When we have the crunch in the near future I could see me and my peers torching things. I don
