If you mean "Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming", then that's probably the least bad way to be wrong. Because when you're wrong at least the world will be better off. Like betting against your own team: if they lo

In Berkeley, CA they purposefully break up the grid for cars. So a street will be passable to pedestrians and bikes but blocked by bollards for cars. This gives the cul-de-sac effect without causing terrible walkability. Of course, traditio

Since deaths lag cases, have you seen a graph that has peaks labeled on the time axis?

I think what you're saying is that the person getting stolen from has a duty to surrender their property to avoid escalating. That sounds absurd to me? The person doing the stealing is the one escalating as the natural state is the ori

I had to look this up: (1) Boudin (mother) agreed to a plea deal to get the felony murder result, (2) Gilbert (father) was convicted of murder (not felony murder). This doesn't sound like a very controversial result. What part do you t

One way to solve the problem without expensive social safety nets is to have private stores that only allow entry to members. Maybe stores can band together so that a single membership grants entry to all the stores in a neighborhood. (Anot

I think the general idea is that the thief would have to escalate to physical violence in order to steal the prize. The physical violence escalation would then justify pulling out the pistol and shooting. Roughly the thief would have to esc

This sounds like a check that's signed electronically rather than physically. I think another thing to note is that the other party is ASKING your bank/credit issuer to debit. The transaction can be stopped if not approved. Normal

I agree with this, but the misunderstanding because no one is explicitly talking about how there is a desire to preserve rent controlled units. This means it's very hard for the econ 101 to play out.

Because of the laws around new buildings, rent control advocates have an incentive to prevent old buildings from being redeveloped: if they are redeveloped then there will be fewer rent controlled units! This does regularly play out in the

You're replying to someone that specifically mentioned pollution as a reason to keep certain uses in different zones. Did they edit their comment?

With uses segregated, the "reasonable" argument does not make sense to me: infrastructure will have to be maximized because there will be big migrations of people based on normal use times like going to work. You need twice as muc

This quote is the topic of the original article and the article goes into detail about how it believes the quote should be interpreted.

One of the functions of the government is to educate and train its population. I think using that function could resolve the shortage or high cost of talent.

I agree that it's terrible that people did not read before tweeting. I believe Greg was not saying Aditya was both incompetent and malicious. Greg was saying incompetent or malicious. The incompetence stemmed from how Aditya handled hi

From reading some of your comments here and on Reddit: your tone hurts your credibility.

Is it really faster? I'm thinking if you have blocked the ads, that will be significantly faster. Google's benchmarks of course would not include how much faster HTTP3 is for pages with blocked ad content.

Ignoring pushed ad data ia very different from never requesting those ads as far as available bandwidth and data metering are concerned.

If I can summarize: search warrants should not be banned but we should enforce the checks and balances that justify their existence in the first place. I agree with that 100%. I dk believ that is orthogonal to using warrants on public surve

I imagine we could come up with some way to handle this. For example, put the storage as a responsibility in the judicial branch.

Do you think we should ban search warrants?

by fiter 6y ago
I agree with you. If we could have this technology in the same context as warrants, I'd be happy.

I'm surprised that the powers-that-be are greedy enough to not involve the judicial branch. Lock the video away until there is a warrant! It's not like your right to privacy in your home or phone calls extends past a warrant.

Better for us to actually remove those laws.

A private country club would certainly fall under this exemption, but a normal gym might not unless it's already qualifying for the private club tax exemption.

I believe in the competitive scenario, there are no profits to cut. It's not clear to me if equity is worth anything if there are no profits to distribute and the company is not growing. I think the point is that whether it is a "

I searched exactly as you said and there were many different designs. This seems to refute the introduction of the article.

It seems that the link to part 2 is broken. Here is a working link: https://medium.com/slack-design/threads-in-slack-a-long-desi... In their testing, it does not seem like they prototyped an N-nested (indented) threadi

This is already the case in Berkeley.

Rent control throws a wrench in this simple model. In Berkeley, the tenant almost exclusively has the right to terminate the tenancy. Expiration of lease or month-to-month term is not actually grounds for the owner to terminate the tenancy.
