I don't think it does, and I don't think bentonville is the ideal. I just think it's proof that it's possible to start mitigating and designing toward a better future with what we have.
Our suburbs are designed for cars. Our cities are retrofitted for cars.
That might seem pedantic but I’m not trying to be. The point is that we do actually have significant areas of population which are ready to be reworked to prioritize cycling without completely changing the way we live.
Suburbs can also prioritize safe cycling. Take a look at bentonville Arkansas. It has a tiny downtown but most of it looks and functions like a suburb. They’ve made it safe for everyone to ride their bikes to commute and for pleasure. It’s not a blueprint by any means, it’s a passion project by some rich folks, but it’s proof that the suburbs can be retrofitted with a vision and will.
The situation in Utrecht isn’t a function of “the [free] market” though. It’s distorted by significant taxation of cars and subsidization of biking. It’s legislation on both sides, and American legislation can change, especially locally.
Look at bentonville Arkansas for an example.
their marketing team needs to get their shit together and not have a newsletter signup popup on this particular page.
They aren't. the first battles were fought by victims of deepfakes.
On a 24k car they've either gotten the price of the body panels pretty low or this is a loss leader. my hope is the former. If this car can live up to its promise this is exactly what I want as a city dweller that drives 200 miles a week.
So does this mean the conservative baker has to make me a cake for my gay wedding?
I hadn’t seen this before and I’m 100% going to steal it and use it for my next product/feature/business case pitch. At least as a start to prove value to myself.
I’m fully aware of the utility of jargon in writing a business case, it lets me skip over the difficult, the warts, and the questionable. I wonder if there’s a correlation between failed projects and how jargon heavy the initiation is?
I also really like thinking about milestones as exam points. Calling them exams for success more directly gets at the point- to check in and course correct.
I’m wondering what you mean by weighing in globally. Do you mean publicly, or internally within the global google employment base? Google is big enough that I’m not sure public/internal can really be teased apart, but I guess intention might matter.
Regardless, I’ve come to realize that not talking about politics and religion doesn’t make political or religious action and impact go away, it just stays insidious.
>this was just a way to pay employees with their loan
This feels like a more complex, insidious version of company scrip. At the end of the day, you’re getting paid in fake company money that’s worthless if they go belly up.
Yeah, OP was asking for legal options and this spells them out. Additionally, Levine has been wrong about which option Elon will pick, but he's also generally been spot on about listing all potential options and also saying "this guy is unpredictable, so who knows."
Wonderful Life The Burgess Shale Nature of History does an excellent job explaining why the textbook visualization of the evolutionary tree reenforces this notion and why it needs to be done away with. It may be a wild understanding, but when every middle schooler is shown "The March of Progress" can it be any surprise that folks think we're more evolved?
Who’s blasting it? You’re the only reply.
Edit: at the time of me writing the initial response.
The part you’re talking about, actually registering the title, is usually between $20-50 usd.
A smart contract would do nothing to protect you from open liens, property line misrepresentation, multiple registrants, etc etc.
But I hear you saying, “well it would if the plumber used the chain to place the lien.” okay fine, but nothing above is solved more efficiently with the chain than it would be by adding to the existing system.
What headphones are you using? I’m training for a marathon and it’d probably be wise for me to turn down the volume a bit but running with my bose closed backs sounds miserable
I just finished reading The Urge: Our history of Addiction. If you're interested in some background on how we got here, the author does a great job of laying out the historical, legal, and social constructs that have resulted in the inconsistent mess.

I know the author can’t possibly include every cause of slowness but it seems disingenuous to not include the preservation movement, especially given the decision to talk about downtown San Francisco.
The 70s saw a change in how historic preservation was handled, I’d argue because of the success of Jane Jacobs. It became less about saving patriotic sites and more about saving the look and feel of the idealized early 1900s city. From the 70s to the 90s we stopped protecting battlefields and started protecting whole neighborhoods.
The big catalyst here was in 1972: State Legislation
The Advisory Council of Historic Preservation provides guidelines for State Historic Preservation Legislation. State Preservation Officers were established in 1966 as well, but each state had different legislation. While every state has its own priorities, the guidelines were meant to streamline the legislation.
Now, standards that were explicitly written to help preservationists maintain places like Mount Vernon apply to important chunks of our major cities. Sure Chicago and sfo have maybe 2-3% of parcels protected, but they are highly clustered in desirable areas. And blanket block or neighborhood designations cover parcels of dubious distinction. Additionally it seems like every time there’s a major project announced in major cities these days, someone is going to come out and try and protect the “landmark.”
In Milwaukee there’s a project proposed to tear down an early 1900s hospital on the college campus. The school doesn’t have funds to maintain it. It’s a minor project by a minor architect and is not particularly unique. The preservationists are trying to block the demolition and honest to god, the reason given is that some of them were born there. They’ll probably win.
I think the authors point on heavy handed but well meaning legislation from the 70s needs to be revisited is applicable here as well. I’m for preservation but the mechanisms seem to have gone completely out of whack with the realities of our cities and current needs.
Wow. This sounds brutal. No they haven’t. But the split keyboard has fixed. I think my pain is all self induced.
It depends on what I’m doing. If I’m doing a type intensive task I put it between the split and I use a track pad. Sometimes if I’m doing something mouse intensive I’ll shake it up, but that’s mostly how it stays.
Check their refurb section. I picked up a freestyle for much much less than that.
I picked up a Kinesis a few month ago and it's been a life changer. I've struggled with shoulder pain since as far back as I can remember. I'd done PT, dry needling, massage, etc etc. I'd even sprung for a personal ergonomic assessment. I'm a cyclist and and keyboard jockey, so most of my waking life is spent in positions that seemed to make it worse. At times it prevented me from sleeping, doing things I enjoyed, etc. I wear a 42 jacket, so I'm not crazy wide or anything.
I'd never seen anything that suggested that split keyboards were a good solve for the shoulder pain but I'd reached that point of just throwing shit at a wall because it was that, or find a new career and hobbies. Moving my keyboard so my forearms can sit slightly wider than perpendicular to my chest has almost completely resolved the shoulder pain and the impact was almost immediate.
Okay, I agree with everything you've said. In a "Data driven" organization, how do you prove that your brand marketing is working in order to protect it? A new leader comes in and says "this isn't adding value, you cant prove it's adding value, I'm cutting it unless you can prove it." What's your response?
Are you saying that the act of building affordable housing impacts wildlife/that affordable housing is built in locations disruptive to wildlife?
I did a double take after clicking through- when did Unifi change their URL to UI.com? I thought this was a clever scaled phishing attempt for a second.
Come to think of it, how many times have they changed their URL/how many are there? feels like im being trained to do something stupid.
It should be part of the rule allowing them to fly at night. It's clearly related, why delay?
