  • They are comparing roman concrete to portland cement, the most common formula. The kind of strength being emphasized is durability, because roman concrete has unique chemistry that allows small cracks to fill themselves. Modern special-purpose concrete blends can outperform roman concrete in other measures of strength, however.

  • What sells it for me is the mativation: end game you can use a calculoter to create the most efficient blueprint (or just watch nilaus). Hopefully this extends the time when you are designing a base rather than plopping prints

  • I saw someone the other doy talk about the politics of guys like Musk and Thiel and say their politics were "genericaly liberal". Its a stance you can only hove when you don't pay attention. Their political affiliation is Billionare, and all Billionares act in a way to preserve and enhance their position.

  • Show them the consequeces. You might scare a few people who are already anxious by showing data collected, but most people will be apathetic. Illustrate why its bad. Be systemic about it.

    The stunt outlined elsewhere of texting someone with their info is good, but "we all know google isn't going to threaten us" is the prevailing attitude. Demonstrate what google is going to do and how it hurts people individualy and directly. Until there are personal consequences, peopae won't really care.

  • I've used privacy for a while now. I became devoted when a card I used at an independant business started being used to pay phone bills in new jersey; privacy auto blocked it. Since then, i've used it to kill subscriptions I don't want by changing to a privacy card and setting the limit to zero. Its good stuff.

  • airbnb has a lot of hate from a lot of directions in NYC. Hotels, yes, but also from renters and homeowners.

    Airbnb units remove long term rentals from the market, in a city which is desparately short on affordable, middle, and even luxury housing units.

    Airbnb units in condos and coops (which usually violata the bylaws) create noise and safety conditions.

  • I feel like, with this reply, you are willfully glossing over my point. The issue at hand is that open source software is short on the ux design expertise. My claim is that by centering the programing expertise, and in fact by not going out of the way to be inviting to the non-programming expertise, open source projects are self-perpetuating these cycles.

    We can find ways to invite good designers in, or we can continue with the "sufficient" design ost projects currently have.

    I'm happy if people have ather strategies for overcoming the current problem, but the current aproach is not doing it
