aka “Neoliberalism and its Discontents”

That Boston only had six full-time workers working on its largest capital investment project is astounding to me. A lot of the people who claim we have too much bureaucracy, that government is the problem, and that deregulation is the answer to everything don’t seem to have any type of metric for determining what too much deregulation might look like. In fact, they don’t even seem to understand that there could be failure worse than bureaucratic inefficient past a certain point of deregulation. we might be seeing what that looks like in America right now.

The approach I take with quotes is more subjective than it is with almost all of my other cards, since it would pointless to really judge whether or not I know some piece of maybe abstruse wisdom, I just rate it on a subjective grading of, how well am I living my life relative to this statement, and if it feels like it's something I'm really lacking I'll fail it or mark it hard. The card has no back, something that I also do for more axiomatic pieces of CS theory as well, where it's too difficult to meaningfully capture the whole idea in many different question-answers.

Thank you for this -- adding these to my quotes Anki deck.

I would also add to these the TS Elliot quote from his work, the Rock:

not sure if it's a function of this site's older design, but I found myself reading this at a much slower scan rate than I do most websites.

Doesn't look like anyone posted this also excellent article showing how to create one of the songs from this record in the browser (though I do believe it's linked out to in OPs link): https://teropa.info/blog/2016/07/28/javascript-systems-music

i’ve definitely enjoyed using this but it would be nice it there was better TS support for some of the extensions

Crazy the exposure this group is getting. HN? Noise record collecting me in high school would be delighted to know the world of coders was as eclectic and culturally tuned in as he had hoped.

first instinct after the fourth bullet point was to save this to my Notion smdh...

> but life in Moscow without a phone is basically impossible (taxis, deliveries, electric scooters, bikes etc. all become pretty much unavailable).

am I the only one who finds this horrifying

"I keep trying to quit vim" -- this made me laugh.

increasingly happy that I held out since iPhone 7+ for this one

my thoughts exactly

maybe I'm not a rational person but could you explain why they would not approve of that business?

> It’s a funny coincidence that the field where we’re seeing the most innovation happens to be the one we regulated least, and that the fields that got worse are the most regulated ones.

type of pithy observation that sound reasonable (even smart) until you think about it for two seconds, or do even a modicum of historical research on. the graph supplied is so misleading I can’t read further. I hope the author manes to make some good points tho.

ty for introducing me to the concept of favoriting on this site, I literally had no idea.

we love a good Fogus post, don't we folks?

Kobo’s iOS and desktop reading experiences are very subpar (although they seem to be fixing that with new experimental features for iOS)and there’s no cloud sync for the most popular (“cheaper”) models.

would be nice to only have to purchase one device that does everything.

lol I meant its supposed purpose

On the face of it this would seem to create further disincentives to use crypto for its intended purpose.
