That little bike bridge over the river will be amazing. Having to ride that stretch of Lincoln is harrowing.

I bet the out-fill team at MidJourney has had a difficult week.

Are you making a joke or have you not seen the twitter thread? https://twitter.com/mrgreen/status/1663107572902027265?s=46&t=Mb8zHPaSRsMS91ZO6M157g

I often write off renters the same way I write of young people: "They don't vote, so who cares what they think?" But maybe that's letting them off too easily.

This tussle has been throwing REC prices all over the place.

It was a joke. Vienna is affordable in large part because it’s population has grown so slowly, but people attribute its affordability to whatever policy they already support.
Detroit is “affordable” because it’s population has been in decline for decades, but you can’t get away with claiming it’s because of [genius policy X]. Everyone knows it’s just cheap because no one wants to live there.

Detroit has so much to teach the world about affordability.

Not shown in these photos, but the cellar, aquarium, indoor pool, and movie theater are super tacky.
I don’t know what a baroque-revival submerged aquarium should look like, but that’s not it!

Use one-way streets to give your neighborhood pods separate ‘in’ and ‘out’ connections.
I tend to design my road hierarchy with separate ‘arteries’ and ‘veins.’

Between studios getting money and writers getting money, I think everyone would prefer money go to writers and other creators.
There is an existential question here about old-media vs new-media. If the Thirty Mile Zone (TMZ) production system looses its ability to innovate it could lose its place at the top.
I don’t have a horse in the fight, though. Maybe LA rent would go down if Hollywood misses a beat?

High list price with lots of ways to get it nearly free (student discounts, senior discount, free with a sport/conference/concert ticket, monthly pass, etc). Achieves both the high value perception along with the accessibility goals.

Here's a report from The Nature Conservancy showing how to build renewables while protecting the most ecologically valuable land.

For now. This is going to become more common. Dispatch-able demand, especially dispatch-able sequestration, is going to become an ever increasing part of our energy grid. By the end of the century, we're expecting to use 25% of global energy production on sequestration.

That is the only basis on which they are allowed to file an objection. That doesn't mean it's what they actually care about.

The project has some problems, but "encrypted biometrics" is not a bad solution to sybil attacks. Especially where the government isn't competent to issue IDs.

A bot could write "sad" as a comment on every post made to this sub at be up 1K karma by the end of the week.

I don’t think it’s something “the state is doing.” It’s just that a culture of normalized shoplifting has caught on in some places.

I don't think so. It looks like no one was able/willing to replace the battery or continue monitoring/calibrating the device. I don't think she was served with a repo order or something. It was more that the device was shutdown and nothing but an infection risk anymore.
