Looks like exactly what I've been looking for! Great work! Do you have any plans to distribute a flatpak version? Especially for single person projects, it can save time on packaging and testing.

Ignoring the huge issue of political will, how much more or less effective would street cars be on these lines, compared to buses?

My brother and I came up with an interview process for help desk positions many years ago. It was sort of an open-book exam. He set up a computer and a network printer. I believe he purposely misconfigured something with the networking of t

I think so. It's my belief that they often times leadership sees software engineers as cogs that can easily be replaced by another. They don't appreciate the years of institutional knowledge that experienced engineers have, vast p

Wow. What was their justification for firing you because of your lack of housing?

You're underestimating how connected the world economies and supply chains are. You seem to be huffing some serious copium if you're sure your daughter will be fine.

Humanity may survive, but not the modern civilization and the quality of life that we enjoy.

Sorry that you're suffering this way. It's infuriating to me that people downplay Covid infections when the risk of suffering from long Covid effects is very real.

Unions have these things that you might of heard of... elections, where you can elect your leadership. How much democracy is for employees in a corporation?

There is no shortage of people or children on the planet. Having children -- if you live a western lifestyle -- is the most destructive thing a person can do, in regard to carbon emissions and damage to the earth. What about your duty to pr

Yes, you can.

Yes, let's instead give the money to unaccountable private entities whose sole motive is profit, at the expense of all else. With governments, we can at least vote in different politicians.

Maybe the problems in Chicago's education are outside of the scope of the teachers?

Wow. Thanks for the response. That's pretty bad.

I believe it, but do you have a source? I have a few friends I'd like to inform of this.

They'll rationalize their behavior, just like most of us do. "All the other companies are already doing it", "No one cares about privacy", "It's not my decision", "We need this data to help the c

There is no solution. The industrialized nations used the externality of carbon emissions to build their current status. These nations are unwilling to subsidize and compensate developing nations so that they can develop while using clean e

It's not exactly fair for industrialized nations to have taken advantage of the externality of their historic carbon emissions, but then prevent developing nations from doing the same. The ethical solution would be for industrialized n

Exactly. The cumulative emissions of the United States dwarf the rest of the countries in the world[1]. The powerhouse that is the United States was built on the externality of carbon emissions. Now that the West has built their economies o

Public ISPs, power companies, and healthcare are examples where the government does it cheaper. Profit is unnecessary cost.

The landlords pass the costs of property taxes onto their tenants in their rents. So who is really paying for them?

It's mostly the poor and middle-class that use public transportation, so ending fares for it is helpful to their finances. Also, there are tremendous operating cost savings to a free at the point of use transit system. No ticket machin

Slavery abolition is a progressive position, and in the Civil War era the Republican party was the more progressive party. In the 20th century there was an ideological shift in the Democratic and Republican parties. It's pretty clear t

Doesn't seem to hold up with other examples of countries with very high per capita imprisonment rates -- like the USA and Brazil.

This was likely due to the population density and sanitation conditions of city living causing infectious disease related deaths, no? I imagine the risk of contracting fatal diseases in a rural setting was much less.

We do, but they only contribute a small portion of the world's energy. It will take a long time to get to a point where most energy generated is renewable, and by that point, the climate is going to be a much much bigger problem.
