I follow marginal revolution, astral codex ten, rob k henderson, and a number of others who put out links roundups. Those links roundups are very good and useful.

A number of useful blogs show up on HN as well.

Very and pay for them.

And also the argument that people have demons in them: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-the-others-with....

I read some of the guy's book. It's a trip.

If those external entities were real, we wouldn't need to wait for science, some shaman would just go to the spirit realm and get told about bacteria.

A great point.

Marginal Revolution, Astral Codex Ten, and others are good are links posts.

Thanks for the effort.

We'll know Europeans are serious about demography when they defeat NIMBYism and build housing abundance.

Presumably a whole generation will have to learn how to torrent.

But security theater will live, inconveniencing us all with its invasive efforts, forever.

Modafinil needs to be better represented.

It's better for housing to be cheap than expensive.

It's better for landowners to have freedom than restrictions.

I liked it better before the modern Reddit censorship machine.

At least old.reddit.com still works. For now.

States should charge market rates for water, so that a liter is a liter is a liter regardless of its destination. For example, using 70+% of Arizona's water for agriculture is terrible. https://mapazdashboard.arizona.edu/article/arizonas-water-us...

Prices work. They are an incentive wrapped in a signal.

You might not need it but you'll want it.

Frustrating that Lenovo do not offer Linux as a default OS choice. I'd think Lenovo want to get out from under the Windows boot themselves but they seem not to be advancing that possibility.

Doesn't seem to ship with Linux :(

Feeling the heat from Framework!

Now checking to see if it can ship w/ Linux by default.

edit: The answer appears to be "no." Also, searching Lenovo.com for "T14 gen 5" yields: "2676 Result For ‘t14 gen 5.'" Lenovo should really work on their search functionality.

Learn how to do cold reads of people and situations.

Cold read enough, and with enough vagueness, and you'll be right enough of the time.

You could also ask: "How can I be like William of Baskerville?"

Rents in Sacramento are falling faster than any other large city in California even as it remains the most popular relocation destination in the country. The median rent is approximately half San Francisco’s. Right now you can find an apartment that is affordable for lower-income people, at least according to the government definition of roughly $1,000 to $1,500 for a one-bedroom, at market rates (it’s true, check Zillow). A prime location studio listed for $1,400 last year is just over $1,100 today.

Freedom isn't free.

The state demands legibility for everything you do. It is for your own good.

runs just fine with Ubuntu

Maybe that is the answer?

Until "everywhere else" bans non-competes, like California does, California is unlikely to lose its position as the leader site and state for innovation: https://techcrunch.com/2016/02/18/silicon-valley-keeps-winni..., despite California's many policy missteps from housing restrictions to failure to enforce basic law and order.

The end of Windows 10 could represent an opportunity for low-resource Linux distros, too.

The U.S. and Europe really shouldn't allow DJI sales: DJI is in effect part of the PLA, and they're amortizing military research across worldwide sales.

B.O. seems too little, too late at this point, though I wish them well. Someday, someone is going to write the ultimate book about how they fell so far behind SpaceX.

Why is housing so expensive in CA??
