- Comment on 'Millionaires tell me every day that they want a wealth tax' 1 day ago:
What people think inequality looks like and what it actually looks Ike are entirely different. Millionaires are closer to being broke than being a billionaire, and a billionaire is basically broke compared to the people who own everything. You need a semi logarithmic Y axis to plot the wealth disparity sanely.

Yep same here. It also gets more abstract and takes longer to explain in one breath to a person. Eventually you’re justifying being baby sat by other fellow babies in the office whom all mutually babysit each other while the one autistic guy does the work of 11 people while being paid $40k/year and he barely gets to keep his job every review because corporations are retarded.

All that matters is a good manager who has your back. I’ve only quit managers, never jobs. Also the most overworked I’ve ever been in my life was working minimum wage… I felt like an actual slave. The more money I make the more relaxed my job somehow is. I don’t want to doxx myself since I have a pretty niche job (this helps a lot btw. Especially trades or semi-engineering jobs) which can narrow me down a lot.
Find something you’re interested in, and try to line that up with demand that’s consistent for years or decades. Anything involving maintaining critical infrastructure, repair, fixing stuff, estimating, helping people do those things. That’s going to be pretty crucial as our society enters old age. Our infrastructure is at the end of its life and we’re out of debt capacity… That means we start prioritizing things that are critical and diverting funds away from “repair/replace all bridges” to “repair/replace only the bridges that would paralyze the nation of they were missing” which is cheaper.

Its literally a fools errand. Especially since most people speak languages that are strongly gendered. It’s just a self-absorbed virtue signal. The people who made Latinx obviously never stopped to ask most Latin people what they thought of the whole endeavour… And no, I don’t mean Francis your half Mexican schoolmate from private school…

PSA most NDAs are unenforceable BS. Same with non-competes. You can’t prevent a person from making a living. The only thing NDAs can really cover are true trade secrets that could cause actual damages to the company. Otherwise in the US a company can’t make you sign your right to free speech away.

It betrays a lack of theory of mind, likely indicating they’re below a fuzzy sort of threshold below which you don’t have the cognitive bandwidth to imagine a perspective beyond your own.
- Comment on Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground? 4 days ago:
Afaik you build buildings on raised foundations and the viaduct decks span the gap between buildings creating a raised “ground floor” above the actual dirt. They eventually do wear out given enough loading cycles accumulating fatigue in the metal reinforcement, but can last a hell of a long time if you keep heavy vehicles off of them.
In an ideal world the viaduct top is for pedestrians or bicycles only, and there’s enough space underneath for logistics to supply businesses from loading docks at their basement. Overhead LRTs would be a natural pair with viaducts since you can just build the LRT piers to put their load path into the viaduct columns (which you also engineer to be larger.) that way you can separate all traffic types by verticality instead of all sharing the same grade.
The big benefit there is the viaduct deck doesn’t fatigue hardly at all. Maybe emergency vehicles allowed up on the deck? Otherwise it’s just bicycles or pedestrian traffic.

The city burned down which allowed these sweeping changes to happen. The minimum height is set by preventing yearly flooding due to heavy rains and strong tides since the area was filled in tidelands. The maximum was set by the rest of the city and its Hills. This is an engineering problem so you solve it the way an engineer would.
The way you would do this for a modern city is by first considering geography and your design requirements. “How much do we need to raise it and why?” If you only need to fit utilities in there and nothing else your necessary lift isn’t that high. Maybe a few meters. If you want to also cram cars or trains down there so you can build to viaduct top lighter by mandating no cars, and to make it a walkable city, you can set a higher requirement. You’re basically building a bridge that spans the entire city and the same calculus works for a viaduct city as it does for designing a bridge. Your biggest expenses are regrading, foundations, redoing drainage, and routing utilities into the viaduct passageways and abandoning existing utilities in the ground from the old city. That’s all if you can avoid eminent domain or conflicts with property owners.
All of this is obviously way easier to do with a newly built city from day 0, or a city that burned down. The reason it happened in Seattle is because residents were sick of yearly flooding and they needed to rebuild with fireproof materials anyways. So why not solve both?

The irony is if you designed a city with viaducts, the savings on ground disturbance and the extension in life for utilities (now high and dry instead of rotting in the dirt and corroding, being hit by fiber-seeking backhoes) pays for the viaduct system itself even if it costs tens of billions for a city.
When your domestic water system now lasts a century instead of 40 years, and leaks can be spotted and repaired from a catwalk, the savings compound over that same century. Apply that to power, gas, heating, cooling, telecom… Plus they stop hitting each other any time you need to dig more than a foot. Now telecom will stop hitting water lines when they go to repair broken fiber that was hit by a new construction excavating a foundation.
A 40 year buried power lifespan that cost $5 billion to install for a city means each year you need to replace 1/40th or your power cables and would annually spend 1/40th of $5 billion, or 125 million.
Those same cables in a utilities rack within a city viaduct system might last 2-3X as long since they’re dry, don’t move with frost heave, don’t experience being driven over by fully loaded semis, aren’t at risk of being hit while repairing something else…

It’s different during your formative years I think. Kind of like that girl who was locked in a closet by her parents and never learned to use language. Part of that was they ran out of funding and time to teach her more since she was beginning to understand, but still. There are developmental windows for things that are qualitatively different if you miss and learn later. We have no idea how social media or constant dopamine stimulation affects development. We’re only just learning what it means.
