Texas is good at mythologizing its patently terrible origin stories. See the Alamo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forget_the_Alamo:_The_Rise_and...

That’s a problem with your bank, not with the regulation. They decided how to implement aml, and it sounds like they’ve done a bad job and can’t deal with internal organizational barriers.

“I’m sorry” - Most managers I know when finding out I was promoted from IC to manager Obviously delivered tongue in cheek, but it’s a hard job and it’s not for everyone. I second everything the parent says and also add that your timescales

The entire list of contributors look like bots to me. The commit history is sketchy. This seems like a giant leap beyond nomic’s main project which itself seems… thin. The entire thing is fishy.

The data other posters have responded to your post with show exactly the opposite. Policing in America and its potential negative outcomes are skewed toward black men. It’s undeniable. Traffic stop, arrest, incarceration, and shooting data

Is it a problem that when the author writes “and there’s the war” I have no clue what they are talking about?

I wish it was this simple, but looking through the last month of “show hn” posts makes it clear that the tech community can’t be trusted either. There are countless examples of authors promoting their latest toy (startup idea) to shoehorn c

This is the scariest real life attempt to use the bullshit machine I’ve seen so far. Nothing like “subtly wrong” clinical notes to affect positive medical outcomes. And time pressed medical professionals are certainly well suited to vigilan

The FFIEC would almost certainly stop such stupidity, though they’ll have to catch it on an audit first.

So first, you didn't call the comments "objectively wrong" you called them deranged. Deranged: 1) Disordered; especially, disordered in mind; crazy; insane. 2) disturbed or upset, especially mentally 3) insane It's not

In the course of these comments you've referred to me as deranged and laughable. I'm going to bow out and let you hold onto your opinions, it's clear you're not interested in a conversation.

Communal societal or economic structures don't preclude "highly stratified civilizations featuring warfare, state religion, slavery, and pyramid building." Centralized control is a common theme. Read the Egalitarian Continent

Most of the population of North and Central America remained communal until colonial contact. there were plenty of examples of agricultural societies within that group, and they were farming because it was easier than than other food suppli

That may have been true 20 or 25 years ago but the technology gap technologically between a “cheap” bike and the highest end bike you could buy was much much smaller than it is today. Same with tires. You can still buy a 200 euro bike. It’l

Authoritative and the intro is even poetic.

The author and the book pretty clearly lay out what they mean by conservatism and yes it's aligned with fiscal conservatism.

The key messages of strongtowns are unambiguous 1) fiscal conservatism and 2) small-scale self dependence. Small scale self dependence is a significant problem in the US (and many parts of the world) where the poor have been, through intent

Yes. American infrastructure has explicitly been deployed time and time again as stimulus spending to shore up the American economy. Nothing in their argument is novel. What these folks are quietly calling for is Conservatism. What is novel

It’s more like “fuck subsidizing anything other than the 1st ring suburbs.” Strong towns’ fiscal philosophy looks great if you’re in a stable or growth market without any significant poverty. I’m all for investing in small walkable communit

That'd be true if there were fair maps. But the metro has been diluted so significantly with rural voters that I stand by it, SLC has approximately no power in the legislature.

The giant dust storms are new too. I was just driven out myself and it was with a heavy heart, but I couldn't take the air quality anymore. I was there because I loved the outdoors, but there were just too many days I couldn't eve

The reality is that Utah is a theocracy, and BYU (the LDS Church) publishing this is actually a huge step toward positive change. Now the First Presidency can take a stand. If they do take a strong stand I'd expect to see radical chang

Rural voters absolutely do run the show though. SLC has approximately no power in the state legislature. https://www.zipdatamaps.com/politics/state-level/districts/m...
