The article covered CBDC is about two sentences and then moved on about regulating bitcoin for the rest of the article. Two separate topics, amd the title isn't really at all what the author spent time writing about.

"Modern steel technology" is not what tanks boast as their primary defense these days. Armour technology uses reactive armour on top of steel armour, which can repel conventional explosives. But shoulder fired anti-tank weapons ha

I tend to agree with him. It takes too long to tell that story. In a boardroom meeting type environment people don't have time or the attention span to settle in for story time. You need to be able to illustrate your point in 3 sentenc

Yeah probably tough and expensive to transition existing neighbourhoods to this model... but is abandoning the current infrastructure and starting fresh more expensive than maintaining the already expensive existing infrastructure? Don&#x27

Sorry I thought it was fairly obvious we were only talking about suburbia because the article itself points out urban areas are funded just fine. Its suburbia where the cost/tax ratio is out of whack.

No. Re-read my comment. Suburban areas only. Try to keep up before you get all salty and make yourself look dumb.

I'm not a well expert, but from what I've read is that chemical runoff could get into shallow sandpoint wells, but if you drill a 200ft deep well, that water is millions of years old.

Forget the dirt road. Rural solutions for water/sewage/power work because their viability is not dependent on close geographic proximity. Its apparent that the urban solution being applied to suburban areas is not viable, so why n

I'm not talking about everyone moving to the country. I'm talking about localizing power/sewer/water infrastructure in medium density areas like suburbs. If you read the article you understand that its the suburban spraw

But its not the high density that's expensive (the downtown core is actually the profit areas), its the medium density with sprawling suburbs that is what us so expensive to maintain for the very reason that localized infrastructure ma

I'm not talking about everyone moving to the country, I'm talking about bringing localized infrastructure to suburban sprawl. I doubt that would work in high density urban areas, but why could it not work in suburbs where every ho

Yeah that's what I'm wondering... could decentralised water/power/sewer distribution scale? Like maybe not EVERYBODY has their own well/septic, but maybe every 5 houses or whatever share one?

by justanotherc 6y ago
Why don't we just stop building all this infrastructure, and move to a micro-community or individual model? My parents' farm is on a well and septic, and a dirt road. Water purification is done with a UV filter. The infrastructure

Well not if you ask him as he would tell you his grades were highly correlated to his smoking habits. Obviously its a non scientific anecdote, but my point is I thought it was well established common knowledge that marijuana affects cogni

Is this really all that groundbreaking? I had a teammate in highschool remark that you could pinpoint in his grades the times when he started/stopped smoking weed.

So I don't understand, any space farer who takes this route will be sued for patent infringement? Lol. I'm going to patent a driving route to Walmart. I'll be rich.

> We started putting armed police in schools to defend against school shootings. Not to intimidate students. Tell that to the 8yr old who had his elbows cuffed painfully behind his back by the school officer because he misbehaved.

Evidence constructed in parallel is not admissible, therefore my point stands. So what's your point?

But they have to establish reasonable suspicion, wuch they also have to justify in court in order to investigate you further. They can't just say "he had a bad score, so I pulled him over and found weed". If they did that, th

Maybe, but non-abstracted code is not DRY, becomes difficult to maintain, and is time consuming to write. So a good programmer will start to abstract those things, and at that point you're going down the road of creating your own frame

So you just have one giant file full of unrelated procedural utility functions that you include to your new projects?

by justanotherc 6y ago
The justice system has built into it the requirement to justify allegations against you though. By design everything in the justice system is transparent or its not admissible. So an opaque "score" of any sort wouldn't ever b

Yeah, I don't see having a monoculture as really that terrible, depending on the type of work being done. It can be more efficient and have less interpersonal conflict than a workplace where everyone has a different perspective, gets o

Lol, my question to that would have been how do you get the 747 on the aircraft carrier? That's actually a harder question than getting the weight of one... which makes the entire exercise ridiculous.

I agree. The shell, just like all other programming languages, allows you to trade the time spent learning a domain specific skill for an easier method of doing things. Using the batch operations example -- if you know shell scripting, you

I think he's partially right, and you're also partially right. Learning to code is an extremely high barrier to wntry, but its also highly transferable. If you can write Python, there's tons of jobs you can get writing Python

Modals are good for when you need to show a new blocking state without losing the current state. There are many valid reasons for that scenario. Even for modal inception. Use them for that purpose, no need to swear them off completely.
