Or do what many urban areas do efficiently: make it easy to commute by train. Even a bus commute cuts down the tire pollution per commuter significantly. Building more housing near job centers can help both shorten commutes and make mass transit more desirable.
The problem is the kind of taxation, not the amount. Beyond the fact that property tax is less of a burden on economic activity than income tax, it's also the case that property tax is less likely to bankrupt the state because of reduced revenue during economic downturns.
My colleague lives in a European city which has undergone a building boom, and it was surprising to me how density doesn't just mean more people per area, but also more area per person. A very spacious apartment is much more affordable there than in any major US city, and more people therefore get more space to themselves. It's kind of amazing how much more livable that arrangement is.
In an ideal world, housing wouldn't be built immediately on major transit lines, but a (walkable) short distance away. Alas, city planners seem dead-set that new construction must _only_ happen within a block of major roads or train lines. There seems to be a lot of urban malpractice that prevents us from making good choices.
safe Rust isn't just the borrow checker, it's also:
- no uninitialized memory
- clone vs copy semantics as part of the type system
- Send, Sync, "fearless concurrency"
- no unchecked indexing
- type safety (you can't just cast things like in C)
I do think these are clear complements to a borrow checker, since it's all in the interest of preventing undefined behavior. Yet, there are even more nice modern features of Rust that C lacks:
- hygienic macros
- namespaces
- pattern matching
- modern build/package system
This is assuming uncorrelated results too. As you observe more and more of your businesses failing, you would want to update your estimate of your own rate of failure. Each new failure in a string of only failures is slight evidence that your own rate of failure may be >90%, even if it's 90% on average for everyone.
In a certain gaming community, we laugh not with "lol" but with "11", since that plays a laughing taunt. This extends to chats outside of the game itself
From what I've seen of environmental review laws, they mostly just have to do with noise and construction nuisance. Whereas community review is mostly about aesthetics. I don't think these are the tools designed for safety.
Right: unlike dying, if someone sits in traffic more, they're able to change their situation and seek alternatives. It's not like increasing traffic in the short term is something reasonable to extrapolate to all drivers for the rest of their lives. More likely, traffic increases lead to either (or both) of infrastructure changes or lifestyle changes.
I am not sure if you're in agreement or not, but yes, loans help access things that cost money (like basic needs) in the case that earnings are deferred due to education. Student loans generally require no payments until 6 months after education ends.
I held a similar level of student loan debt, and it was worth it. My earnings are much larger thanks to the degree it enabled me to pursue, and I was able to pay it off early. While I don't think the system is ideal, just the existence of student debt isn't indicative of an issue, we'd need to look at statistics around what proportion of borrowers have undue hardship as a result.
I think this is the correct way to phrase it. Just because the probabilities of each are both 50% doesn't mean it's more likely than not to get the same number of ones and zeros. It would just mean you're equally likely to get a few more ones as you are to get a few more zeros. But the counts are unlikely to be very far apart.
Yes, they are plastic and designed to be driven over. Although, many of them are noticeably damaged already, so I can't imagine they're expected to be driven over so often?
These lanes are confusing and dangerous in my experience. I choose to bike on folsom instead now. We have great protected bike lanes elsewhere in the city (valencia between market and 15th, folsom north of division) and I don't understand why we couldn't just go with that instead of experimenting on the valencia corridor.
To be clear for anyone not familiar: Valencia already had bike lanes, and that's not the problem. The problem is that the new design is more fragile to bad driver behavior, since drivers run over the flex posts to pass stopped vehicles, and make the whole corridor a mess for everyone.
What part of today would have you worried? My start up is having a great time finding people (amid tech layoffs) and our office space is heavily discounted due to WFH/high office vacancies. Our sales are going well also (our industry has been booming). It seems to me like a good time as any to build a company.
I can't vote for 10 out of 11 of SF city supervisors, but they get to prevent my neighborhood from building more housing. I feel like whatever ideals you have about democracy here, they don't exist in practice in San Francisco for various reasons. I'm extremely glad my elected state government can step in for the greater cohesion of democratic voices across the state and override the hyper-local politics.
Because of the flatness of the voltage curve, limiting your charge to the middle range makes the state-of-charge estimation a much more difficult problem (less voltage signal). So there's actually a trade-off between longevity and accuracy of charge reporting.
Are there any promising paths towards preventing this? Seeding clean rooms with other chiral molecules that can encourage the lost higher energy form of a crystal, maybe?
I believe procedural macros always need to be defined in a separate crate, so at least all projects that use procedural macros will have multiple crates
Given whatever size of garage I have, being somewhere I can live without a car gives me more garage space, regardless of whether it's a suburb. If I want to maximize garage space given my choice of a car-free lifestyle, I would probably move to a suburb with a good train station, not one where "only 20 minutes' drive to downtown" is seen as the selling point. Those are subtly different kinds of places, in my experience, where most people are going to fill their garage space with cars.
