Okay, what if you're good at arson?

I think usually they say something like "I'd put it back but I'm late for my next appointment" or "I already buckled my kid in the car and I don't want to leave him," maybe some variation on "well they pay someone to come gather these up so I don't have to."

Identifying and distributing 100k to each homeless person would require many layers of bureaucracy.

As it should. It is not responsible to give millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to an intern and tell them to start passing it out to random people on the street.

In the late 90's early aughts, I didn't need a laptop, smartphone and 24/7 internet access with 1GB download speeds or half the technological stuff kids need these days...

The explicit hypothesis presented is that the list has changed.

You can keep paying your employee $23 right up until they start agitating for a raise (many never do), and often for some time beyond that.

Your AI employees will all cost more each year and you will have very little leverage over them.

Busses and trains get pretty good bang for the eco-buck. Oftentimes you can bring your bicycle with you for last-mile transportation at your destination city.

If you drive the same route frequently you can definitely figure out which intersections/areas are improperly configured. There's a stretch of road I drive on several times a week where the speed limit was dropped from 40 to 30 a couple years ago, but the lights are all still timed for 40. If you speed you get a sea of green, but if you drive the new speed limit you end up stopping at half the lights.

Mostly Comic Sans.

Percolate?

Did we read the same source? The closest thing I saw in there to anything he said was:

When discussing how he would distance himself from racist groups, Mr Schnatter said that Colonel Sanders, the founder of KFC, had never faced criticism for using the N-word, Forbes reported.

Kind of like how the vast majority of weight loss in animals happens via exhaling.

Weirder still is the realization that all the air is just trapped light.

So? Anyone with a badge can wreck your life with zero consequences, even if they're a pipsqueak. Many of these individuals absolutely hate being looked at the wrong way.

Some time ago I realized it was actually helpful to set up multiple workstations so the place I go to write code isn't the same as the place I go to browse hn and watch youtube.

Sometimes people bring me things that are broken 'cause I like to fix stuff. They always say "it was just working!"

This is how it's always been. The law just produces another axis of strength that is easier to gatekeep.

Try an Cap-O-Matic Space Pen.

I prefer the Clutch, works better with my arthritis:

Perhaps it's a consequence?

Same for me, but I stopped counting my McDonald's visits after 25...

I think it's possible to be a fast learner and not have ADHD.

I guess if I am one of the landlords, or if rents are very reasonable and competitive I prefer the former. However, if it becomes the case that I am having all of my productivity extracted by rent seekers and I no longer have agency over my own life then the benefits of stability get downgraded and I'm much more willing to roll the dice.

This could be great if the rest of the chassis was filled with batteries.

Huh, I've always been suspicious of folks claiming the opposite.

For the downvoters, have you ever tried to explicitly map your externalities?

If you try to time the market and you sell at the exact peak you still have to time the market again and buy back at the correct bottom. If you miss either of these you're likely leaving long term performance on the table.

In Linux changing the MAC address can be done simply on the command line, so I'd probably just write this functionality into a bash script that I'd call before ifup.

When my first-born was six I walked around with her to all of the neighbor's houses and we introduced ourselves. We informed them that my daughter would likely be moving around the neighborhood independently, perhaps on occasion with her younger brother. I gave them my phone number and told them to call any time.

In addition to having no problems with Karens or the CPS we were able to identify the other houses that had kids in them and a band of independent neighborhood kids playing with and looking out for eachother quickly became the norm in our community.

...an unusually open minded computer teacher.

I've heard this story several times before and I, myself, had an unusually open minded computer teacher as a youth. I'm beginning to suspect this attribute is is not so unusual amongst computer teachers as has been assumed.

How do you perform automated enforcement of missing or fake tags?

That's because I vouched for it.

Fyi, you appear to be shadowbanned and it's not clear why. You might consider sending an email to admin to work that out?
