White flight can’t explain why suburbs suck today compared to the ones from 70 years ago (when racism and white flight was arguably much more common). Car-centric planning was driven by auto makers and overzealous urban planners obsessed with the idea of highly specialized single-purpose zoning (think SimCity / Factorio nerd) rather than livable, walkable communities. The most desirable and expensive places to live in Toronto are illegal to build because of these boneheaded zoning laws.

Flint’s water crisis, explained in 3 minutes (2016).

It may be good for low speed applications like skateboard bearings but it’s not good for higher speed such as fan bearings. I tried using it with a fan and it seized up due to the heat. Once I cleaned it all up I used some motor oil instead. The fan has worked great ever since!

They’re just trying to cash out at this point. Much of the early investment, such as from Microsoft, was not in the form of cash but credits to use Microsoft’s computing resources. Can’t retire on Azure credits!

No just the bowel prep!

Using technology as a surrogate for community.

Maybe just having a bad day?

Why are you so angry?

So it’s not really giving everyone in the world an exactly equal share of resources. Not to mention there’s a natural component to inequality that’s independent of resources: location. A 10 m^2 per person shack is a lot more bearable on a beach in Southern California than it is in a desert or an insect-infested swamp.

Prison in a hot climate with no AC. No thanks!

The other question is: where are we living? It takes a lot more resources to live in Canada than it does to live in a warm climate to the south. Does that mean we all have to abandon Canada and crowd ourselves into the hot equatorial regions?

Otherwise those numbers seem like a huge downgrade for even working class Canadians. It goes to show you that Canada is a truly rich country and all but the least fortunate here have far more resources than someone living in the poorest countries in the world.

It’s just nostalgia applied to the internet. Some people call it Eternal September. Everyone prefers what the internet was when they first discovered it and hate what it’s become since then. I remember the internet from 1996 most fondly. Many prefer it from the 80s or earlier 90s. This is no different from other media: music, TV, movies.

Of course this is separate from the real issue which is the consolidation and silo-ification of the modern web.

I’ve already seen that. I watch all of Alec’s videos. He’s not a chef so needless to say I’m skeptical.

Depends on what you cook. I’d never want induction for Asian cooking. Gas is the best for cooking with a wok. All you need is a wok ring to swap out the flat grate.

However induction is pretty great for European cooking, simmering sauces and stuff.
