The population of old cars that you see driving around today is very different from the population of old cars that ever existed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias

Maybe we could solve the collective action problem, if Apple stopped making half the population think they are using SMS when they are actually using iMessage.

Are you available to provide tech support to help my grandma install WhatsApp?

Synergy works with multi-monitor (for me at least). I've been using it for close to two decades. Outside of the Linux kernel, it is probably the single piece of software I've used the longest.

The idea that Blackrock brought all the homes has reached the level of what I'd call "TikTok truth", ie. an idea that feels so true that reality can't compete. Can I ask you why you find it convincing? I found this Derek

Maybe there is something inherently wrong with a system of centralized ownership if it always seems to get taken over by authoritians?

The residents of culdesac have to sign a lease that states that they are not allowed to park on the streets. This was a condition of the city to allow the zoning variance for culdesac.

Not owning a car is different from never riding in a car. That money not spent on parking every month can buy a lot of ride shares.

Allowing access to city services (street parking) based on land ownership (or lack there of) seems (to me, a software engineer, not a lawyer) like a violation of the equal protection clause. I think the relevant case is: https://

They ditched personal vehicles. Not owning a car is different than not having mobility. They aren't hermits.

Owning a personal car and mobility are different things. You can meet people and hang out with them, without owning a car.

The framing of this story is so weird (and I think meant to trigger conspiracy nuts.) The story of culdesac is about parking not about banning mobility! Parking is insanely expensive to build. The only way the city would let them not build

Seems like a convenient scapegoat to distract from the problem that we don't build as many houses as we used to: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/01/housing-cr...

There are dozens of us! This looks nice and the UI is better than I would have done. Good job, OP. I guess I can stop running my GPU every night. I might still try to release a nice bundled-up docker container that can STT a podcast RSS int

SQL is fine. But as an engineer, I much prefer getting a notebook over a 1000-line plate of SQL spaghetti. Some of our data scientists prefer SQL and that's fine. We figure out how to speed it up and ship it. But I've gotten a few

As far as comment wars go this a been very civil. Thanks! :) This will be my last reply in this thread but I wanted to try to make the case against conservative populism one more time. Don't impute principles to the market. I&#x

Maybe there's a higher principle here than partisan warfare? You're going to call me a neoliberal shill ;) but I'd say my higher principle is the market. There is a reason why Nestle, Version, and Disney spend loads o

Sounds like twitter is doing a good job of keeping it's user base happy :) and I would argue that not spreading disinformation is part of keeping them happy. Other companies/platforms are free to advertise or offer services to ent

by ProcNetDev 6y ago
Some of twitter's users see them as complicit in spreading disinformation. So it does cost them something of value to do nothing. It costs them their reputation with some segment of users. Twitter is making a judgement call. They think

So if @Jack solely owned twitter it would be ok? I don't see how being on the NYSE makes the morals any different. If anything having a board of directors and shareholders makes TWTR more democratic not less.

I guess I just don't see twitter as a monopoly. I lived a long time before they existed and I hope/suspect I will live a long time after they are a major player in the news cycle. (Lets just say I'm not long twitter.) I think

Sorry I just fail to understand the conservatives' values here. They will go to the supreme court to fight for their right not to sell cupcakes to gay people but then turn around and demand to control what twitter does with their serve

Big citation needed on that. I highly doubt twitter's user base is 40% Republican-trump supporters. Only 20% of their use base in is in the US. And Republicans need to remember that because of the electoral college their electoral wins

Half the country isn't going to out looking for conspiracy theory garbage. They just want to see pictures of their grandkids. But if you expose them to the conspiracies they can get drawn in.
