Yes.

I think the opinion NYT is programming into their readers is that normal people owning the means of private transportation is bad. The particular facts or coherence of the argument is immaterial.

Just believe the opposite of whatever Pravda says and you’ll be a’ight.

There is a significant effort put in by the FBI and others to arrest people who do that.

I’m suspicious that most of the value in these systems comes from a small fraction of the effort and many technology jobs boil down to knowing you’re a huge cost center and putting on a performance to hide that.

Some of those who checked out never re-entered the productive economy. There seems to be a change in morale and motivation as well. The young professionals are paid way beyond their value just to get them on board.

To your point, you should probably not do anything the NSA tells you to do. A spy agency’s endorsement of Rust is not to its credit.

I think credit deserves some blame. Schools charge the maximum they expect students to be able to pay, and when students have significant leverage through the bank, those costs rise with it. Very similar conditions in housing. I think administrative bloat is a consequence rather than a cause. Now that the faculty lounge has replaced the factory floor as a reliable voting demographic for you-know-who, I don’t think the subsidies and waste will stop anytime soon.

I have to applaud the subtle elegance of the sarcasm here

> the Python and Linux programming languages are all open-source.

Yikes

I don’t think private investors can rake in fat subsidies off of hydropower.

Some of the larger ones are Armin Ronacher’s own projects…

I wouldn’t be shocked if it were actually just be a reboot of the same Google service proxied through Mozilla to recapture some lost market share.

Every time I get cajoled into visiting my wife’s family out there my experience is just a long stream of internal “how do you live like this?” moments.

>Why is there a carcinogen warning on the rental car?

>Am I the only one bothered that an in-laws car was broken into in his own driveway in a residential zone in the middle of the day?

>Does nobody else see there’s a guy shooting a deuce on a bus stop?

>Did I really just spend 15 minutes in line for 6oz of soft serve ice cream?

>The first thing you discuss with your middle school class is pronouns? Not, like, here are the fire escapes? Or maybe, this is what we’re going to study?

>Why do all these 40-somethings dress like teenagers?

>Well, I guess no outdoor wedding photos… too much smoke… everything a few miles away is on fire.

>I guess there are just tents at basically every intersection. Huh.

>You’re paying 3K a month to live in a 60s era cracker box? Bummer. My mortgage is less than a third of that for twice the house and five times the land.

Permanent residents seem to have this defense mechanism where they just act like it isn’t happening. I’m pretty happy with flyover county. Given how easy remote work is now, I really don’t get why so many stay. Other than programming from the paid mouths in (info/e)ntertainment beating the drum of urbanization and ‘oh it’s just the zoning’
