Do be careful. Everyone claims that, but it's almost always something like 80% local in every place that measures.

Most people experiencing homelessness are approached repeatedly by workers hoping to get them into programs that will provide them work, housing, mental healthcare.

There's a lot of complexity, like people who appear homeless but do have a place to sleep, but appear mentally ill.

For the most part, people in these situations are not looking for work or housing.


So what, if you lose your job, you can just sleep on the street and employers will line up to hire you? That sounds ridiculous.

What specific information makes you think that?

They realize it. But they can exercise enough power to target removal of information that they don't want public.

If we relaxed our zoning, your low quality apartment would be much cheaper, and you would be able to afford something better.

I do strongly agree about specific kinds of relaxing.

  * Clear and concise approvals process
  * No more NIMBY BS
  * Impact based assessment (similar to Japans)
  * Possibly goals to encourage desired types of use (but not hard LIMIT beyond disallowed!)
While at the same time, the quality of built items should be increased. That is the minimum code should reflect a value that produces a good quality of life for those in the buildings at a reasonable expenditure of resources over the lifetime of the building.

Dallas does not have permissive zoning, even in comparison to a city like Seattle.

Please be careful not to argue to "force" a company to do something they already do...

Awesome that you can finally buy some parts (Apple was years late in this compared to competitors).

Have you seen how insane the rental tool kit is?

This is not “self service,” this is service that requires professional level tools and skills masquerading as self-service to satisfy regulators.

I think that Apple wants it to be this complicated so they can tell regulators “See? We complied but it’s totally insane, we told you users can’t possibly repair their own equipment!”

Apple also has a long history of making repair difficult for third party repair companies.

Meanwhile, the battery replacement process for the Fairphone only requires one tool:

Based on what we've seen in the last couple of years, they're doing very well on repairability!

From what perspective? The individual flight operators maximize their earnings by running as many flights as they can, and charging as much as they can. Individuals who need transportation also maximize their utility from the same thing.

Some flight operators are planning for shortages by canceling flights: https://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2026/apr/16/uk-feb...

Every business is prioritizing stocking up on goods they need already. They need transport to do that.


The cancellations are because of rising prices, that doesn't mean they can get fuel, just that the current price makes the destination unprofitable. (Technically this should free up some fuel).

But I was thinking from a political perspective, allowing airlines to just fly destinations that frankly aren't needed, like vacation hotspots, seems ill advised, if you truly expect to run out off fuel. The reality is that Europe won't run out of jet fuel, it's airlines can pay for the fuel it needs, for the destinations it requires, but prices will go up. Poorer countries will run out, because the fuel is worth more in Europe and will be redirected.


Yep I myself changed my holiday plans from Tokyo to a nice Greek villa. Because I know that ticket prices for Asian flights will skyrocket. That's how scarcity is dealt with: raising prices.

Long term the government will have to look into reshoring some refineries I suppose.


> allowing airlines to just fly destinations that frankly aren't needed

What exactly is a "needed" destination and who decides that? Who is going to shoulder the financial loss for banning airlines from flying to popular spots?

If you ban airlines, why not other industries too? Why not private individuals too?

See? It's not that easy
