That has happened for centuries earlier. Funereals are a great way to spread disease, and losing more relatives, friends and family to disease which could have been avoided isn't a good plan. It does suck, but shit happens.

Taxes, zoning, mandating higher density housing, apartments with large shared yards over houses with small individual yards, discouraging private transit ... Encourage urban living, not suburban. You can go entirely rural, or high density u

That would still make things worse, because cars need roadspace. Getting rid of the road space for cars and making public transit good enough is a pretty good solution.

You have to explicitly optimise the city for public transit. Quite a lot of European cities do that.

Sounds like most non urban areas should be discouraged.

That's due to a lack of social activities post work.

Calling the cops has turned out to be a death sentence for Black people too often.

The Salafists are just the Islamic version of the evangelical churches in America.

The gun toting people are far more dangerous than the average night dweller.

From my perspective, a lot of that is simply busy areas. Areas with a lot of pepole moving around are safer in cities than areas without a lot of people. In Asian cities, there is plenty of nightlife on the streets. In Europe, places outsid

A lot of companies also have special deals with preferred airlines, which gets the company a refund if a certain volume of money is spent. So you would see worse pricing upfront, but the company would spend a lot less after the discount num

A documented process can be automated. Humans should be paged only when this is a new category of failure, and in that case, having the developer wake up first triggers a really good feedback loop.

Now apply the same rules to the SRE role as well.

Your personal motivation appears to be entirely extrinsic. For a lot of people, the motivation is intrinsic. After a certain amount of money, more money wouldn't bring me joy. Money is a floor, not a ceiling.

Construction and manufacturing are usually about cookie cutter replicas, with log degrees of customisation. There isn't a feedback loop in the manufacturing line to product development once you have a stable product. This is roughly an

DSPD lets you get 8 hours of restful sleep, just not at a convenient time. Insomnia means you don't get enough sleep at all.

That just means you need fines proportionate to wealth, not fixed numbers. A truly useful penalty would be to forbid them from owning any capital (directly, or indirectly like via a trust or index funds).

I prefer to refer to NFRs as Operational Requirements. Cloud vendors are entirely in the job of satisfying operational requirements.

Atheism still lets you be Hindu. Belief in any number of gods is optional, including 0.

Depends on the job. The good jobs involve background checks, and the entire stack may be checked.

You can be an atheist Hindu. Caste and religion have nothing to do with belief in a god, more than one god, or zero gods.

Traditionally, you couldn't convert to Hinduism (Hinduism is literlly the set of religions followed by people in South Asia). In modern times, you can convert to Hinduism. You would end up without a caste, but with higher or lower soci

The worst forms of racism are not very obvious. Not considering hiring people with non-Biblical or clearly "Black" names is one of those things which you can't see. Not showing Black people houses in good neighbourhoods is an
