@yegordb@LuyandaDhlamini@AaronErickson@deedydas If your work is open source wouldn't engineers just use it to measure themselves and make sure they meet the bar? (without actually being more productive). you're creating cat-and-mouse incentives just like the antivirus industry.
@Muinchille useless without radical zoning reform imo. nothing will get built if it's not profitable. zoning and permits should be at a federal or at least state level and quick to process. basically do whatever made density like Tokyo's possible.
@AlanNeveu@esthercrawford I bet what will happen is the long-term care center will replace workers with robots and pocket the difference. all while continuing to increase prices. especially if they were bought out by private equity.
@ZyMazza there was a scifi book where people get uploaded over a span of several years, with a process involving nanobots or something slowly replacing neurons individually until the whole brain is a crystal holding your consciousness. it feels different even if the effect is the same.
@GaryWinslett My city has a big oil refinery and other heavy industry right at the outskirts. They produce around 60% of the pollution and use way more water than all the residential usage combined. So when we are told "conserve water!" or are encouraged to drive less etc it feels incomplete
@amktparticipant@unusual_whales their products should be so cheap that it would be irresponsible not to use them, instead they want luxury item prices.
