The entire County of London[0] had an average population density of 60 people per acre (38,400 per square mile) in 1911 and 42 per acre in 1961.

60 per acre being averaged over nonresidential land uses meant that it was still common to find residential densities higher than 40,000 people per square mile (15,000 per sq. km) at that time. Only Tower Hamlets and Islington remain around that density to this day.[1]

Connections to HS1/Europe, and to Leeds, Golborne, East Midlands, Manchester and finally even Crewe have all been cancelled so now extra expenditures will focus instead on Euston Station. That's not the large section people were interested in riding. Perhaps Old Oak Common should instead have been tunnelled the same distance through to Waterloo International (whose international platforms are now deleted).

The Assad dictatorships in Syria and the Hussein regime in Iraq were proponents of Baathism. The former had occupied Lebanon and invaded Israel while the latter had invaded Iran in 1980 and annexed Kuwait in 1990.

Orators learned the "palace of memory" trick for remembering long speeches. In that same vein, then, it does seem less demanding to simply be able to see where you put things.

Whether that's done by walking around, or just by glancing around on a 3D overlay (as suggested above for the Vision Pro), I like neither to have to search through stacks or folders of icons, nor to use Spotlight search fields. But perhaps the different types of cognitive loads result in what some people call different personal organizational styles or preferences. The "Clutterbug"[0] quadrant taxonomy comes to mind.

Did having such a person in charge make a qualitative difference in the atmosphere of how work proceeded among people there?

If so, do you think it would have played out similarly if the organization had had an equally effective "glue person" who wasn't in charge (therefore didn't have any authority to delegate or divide most tasks) and was required to manage upward [sic] to coordinate things for people?

Not to me. This post in question could be easily expanded into a recognizable Paul Graham essay and no one would bat an eye.

Arsenal of democracy is something that Detroit specifically was called during WWII, so historically it isn't a wild phrase. Ford Motor Company itself built complete B-24 heavy bombers too.

Edit: also an FDR quote https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenal_of_Democracy

Without more prominent melody or harmony I could not find what is finer about it than conventional approaches to jazz. Could you please elaborate on what its quality is?

Implicitly, the argument is that, when "cost and time of litigation scales like n^2 where n is the textual length of the law," justice for litigants declined when sheer access to the necessary legal funds and time began to outweigh other costs and benefits as a factor in determining pursuit of justice. Maybe it's not self-evident, but I don't think direct quantifiable evidence of justice is necessarily available, so what qualitative evidence would be capable of confirming support?

This is the revised, expanded 3rd edition of that title:

> There are coal seam fires that have been going on for centuries and the pollution of these is just as bad as the pollution generated by human created coal mine fires (and that's truly awful, a significant source of carbon pollution).

Has CO2 fire suppression been unsuccessfully attempted in these seams? Since nobody is underground and we know how to inject CO2 into underground deposits at various pressures, it seems like it would be a good candidate. Plus, with rotary steerable drilling, we could come in laterally (from a safe location above ground) to as many depths of injection as necessary.

This civic control correlation can simply have more to do with the most-white-supremacist Democrats switching to the GOP en masse and also simultaneously leaving multiethnic cities and school districts en masse after the 1960s. That self-selection left Republicans not a competitive amount of credibility or voter pool behind to work with. Your implication that policy dysfunction has ensued on that account rather than because of fiscal drain -- that's a separate topic. Individual states and individual cities have too many fiscal policy similarities and differences, overlapping, to responsibly compare in any online discussion.

US Senator was an office initially designed to be selected by state legislatures rather than by direct popular election like the representatives. To a populist or a party boss, that might count as a spoiler to the will of the people or to the will of those in DC, or to both. But I may misinterpret GP's point.

Provided the goal is solid internal culture at the company, the company would have an automatic dart thrower that reliably hits a target that is the wrong target altogether.

Supposing you hired a consultant to be "culture keeper" for this company -- and she or he said, "I'm just going to reason about context by treating this culture as a body of text" -- you would instantly assume that they didn't have skin in the game and didn't understand how culture actually grows and accretes, let alone monitoring and validating eventual quality or reliability. We can't read about what rules apply in some foreign culture's situations and then remotely prescribe what to do socially in a foreign culture we've never set foot in. We can't accurately anticipate even the second-order effects of our recommendations in that situation.

We simply have to participate first. It would be better for this to be a role that involves someone inside of the company who does participate in navigating the culture themselves so that they make accurate observations from experience. A person trustworthy enough to steward this culture would also necessarily be trustworthy enough not to alarm the chief of HR. Based on my model of how work works, from experience, I am wondering if they imagine they want this sensitive role filled with a nonhuman 'trusted' advisor so that it can't ever become a social shadow power center within the firm.

Or maybe they don't want to admit that modeling culture is beyond the reach of their matter-of-fact internal process models and simulations, and they're just wishfully hoping you can abstract away all of the soft elements without producing social fever dreams or ever having to develop a costly true soft element model. But then you absolutely abstract away where the rubber meets the road! That's quite a roadblock, to be honest with you.

Crabs may not always face each other to fight, since they walk sideways, so there are still opportunities for large claw facing either claw.

The 2004 Wii port had no land strategy but made some other compromises

It seems to an outsider like California involves exceptional biodiversity, and exceptional habitat protection laws, coupled with the electorate's vocal idealism about the possibility of preventing preventable animal suffering, plus the distaste of many voters for a schedule of very frequent controlled burns in all parts of the state in order to thin the constant buildup of combustible underbrush. These leave PG&E unable to avoid being liable for interactions of transmission lines with the wildfire kindling they have to route through. Even though California may not be more mountainous than those other Western states, its development pattern may have more wildland-subdivision interface overall, which adds up.

Could his new variety of vocalizations be imitating what he sees on his tablet?

> ... the twentieth century may have widened the subject matter of the novel, but it has failed to deepen it

Even if we were to deny artistically creative 20C novelists their depth as a mere retread of the nineteenth century's, whatever that means, I don't think that the same terms of dismissal would apply to comic books, graphic novels, hypertext novels and hypertext graphic novels, or novels written with radio or audiobook dramatization in mind, all of which do allow mature thrills to be expressively enhanced and intermingled -- not only cheap thrills.

Scott Miller had a good idea about the importance of the novel form, however: "Maybe I'm just thick ... but whenever novels run out of simple intrigue, they tend to fall into a sort of formulaic display of personal insightfulness, and beyond the scope of about a chapter, one insightful individual carries on in fiction a lot like the next. That said, I have nothing against intrigue, even porn; if I were honest with myself, I'd probably put INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE on a list of 20." [1]

I would think this is creating discovery effects specific to indie filmmakers who are doing "a very indie thing that doesn't fit anywhere else" like GP comment said

I do regret the jump from desktop computing to mobile, but mIRC for example didn't jump while Discord, Meta, and the other advertiser-pleasers went in mobile-first.

mIRC for instance: Linux - use Wine

MacOS - run mIRC inside a Windows emulator, with no plans to change that, although it is compatible with other Mac-ready IRC clients that you can use to talk to the same people

Similar situation for Android and iOS compatibility

Vimeo has tried to prioritize indie feature discovery from what I can tell. Not sure what its ownership or business is. Also not sure how it compares to (in music) soundcloud's or bandcamp's approaches.

There's already a literature analyzing this. For instance William Lazonick's 1983 Business History Review article, "Industrial Organization and Technological Change: The Decline of the British Cotton Industry," and his subsequent book "The Decline of the British Economy: An Institutional Perspective" (1987)

Read: "...the creditors take control, whereas Musk gets a ton of value from being in control of Twitter, so he won't want that to occur."
