The more space for cars the more spread out everything becomes and so the less walking is a reasonable option. Remember cars include parking someplace even if not on the street.

Like I said, there are a ton of trade offs in stop spacing. In a small town with few places to go 200 works, but I’m going to stand by 400 as a better distance for most people is the better compromise overall.

Taking profits mean you have something else to do with the money. It could be you think something else is a better investment. It could be you want to bu a yacht. There is no telling.

Most financial reporting uses terms like “taking profits” as a way to explain things without digging into the details of what investors are really doing. (which to be fair in most cases an investor is harming themselves by telling the truth)

A human can, but as soon as that is discovered that human is rejected. They have to slowly develop a whole new persona, likely taking years - before they are trusted again.

At least for now when Kids regularly grow up enough to join the internet and so we have to have ways to let new people in. If tokens ever trade to a real verified human it may not be possible to get another. (though I doubt this - governments in some places will issue tokens to bots and real humans and so there is no way to tell without cutting off someone real.)

It isn’t regularly, it is what you do on the margins. that one trip a year. Those really cold days in winter (ICEs have a built in heater). 200 miles is more than enough most days, but once a month it will be really close.

Cul-de-sacs increase distance in many cases. There often is a “as the bird flies” path that would be much faster, but there is a fence (private yard) in the way so you can’t go that way. Cars don’t care much about a 2 mile detour to get out of a neighborhood, but that is a long trip on a bike and not acceptable for walking.

If work is 30 minutes by car that should be about 4 hours by bike in the worst case (that is you live next to the 70mph freeway on ramp, and the office is at the end of the off-ramp, no city streets). In my case work is 15 minutes by car, 25 by ebike - but that is mostly a function of the type of roads between them, and I’m likely near the most extreme in that direction (for people who can do either)

Both old and new suburbs do this. The street car suburbs (which date to the 1880s) had a grid and so you could get through, but often the streets are not easy to drive on. The latest suburbs are built with the idea of “the park will be here and people want to walk their dog and kids there”. However suburbs between the 1970s and 2000s (very approximate) often didn’t realize that would be important and so tended to be disconnected.

In all cases natural barriers like streams will disconnect things though, and knowing those existed they tended to build cul-de-sacs against them.

But it is harder and takes longer than walking 200 meters. Your trip time is the door to door time not the time it takes transit to get there. People generally consider 30 minutes the maximum reasonable commute. 5 minutes of walking, 5 minutes waiting for the bus, then 5 minutes on the other end, and we have already used half of our time before we even got on the bus! This doesn’t allow time for a transfer. While some of my numbers are a little high, they are not unreasonable and they add up why people often say transit is useless even when exists. In turn thinking about what can be done to reduce those numbers is important - but often they increase something else by even more since there are so many compromises.

Maybe. You are on the right track, but every bus stop is time robbed from people who are not getting on/off at that stop. Stopping at the entry to every cul-de-sac is too much. So really your 200 meters is 400 meters - the bus should only stop every 400 meters. (the 400 meter is a simple number of discussion, but any book covering this will have several chapters covering all the different trade offs, exceptions and the like: go read the book before arguing the number)

It doesn’t. What a cul-de-sac gives you is assurance that there is no noisy/dangerous traffic by your house at all hours. A street that a bus can serve is also a street where lots of cars will be going by (or at least want to go by even if not allowed)

Linear density is what matters. Large yards that are deep but narrow are just fine if you want a large yard. Transit needs to pick up/drop off within a reasonable distance of the door without unduly delaying other passengers. A wide yard is a much larger problem, a narrow yard that just has with width of a bedroom and stairs+hall allows for plenty of density for great transit.

A hospital, 10 floor apartment complex, or big shopping malls are places high density, but if they are a long distance down a dead end (cul-de-sac) they are harder for transit to serve than straight street in a suburb despite the much lower density in the suburb.

This is important to remember. People asking for density for the sake of density too often end up with something that doesn’t help the cause they want. People who understand what they really want can fight for that, while allowing for less ideal things that are still close enough.

I don’t need a large yard, but there are a lot of nice things about having a large yard that I want. Ideally I want my front door to be on Times Square New York City, with a side door to a Caribbean sea beach, a backdoor to livestock pasture, and the other side a mountain - this is of course impossible, but if you don’t recognize why each of the above would be desirable you need to learn more about the world. Since it is impossible I have to compromise, but the less I compromise the better.

A bus/train cannot reasonably serve a cul-de-sac. The time needed to get down it and back is robbed from everyone who wants to go elsewhere. There is almost no destinations at the end - even if it has one (as it is in the case of many large office complexs or hospitals), not enough people are going there to be worth the time stolen from everyone else.

If you want good transit you need to be on the way to someplace else. That applies to both your start and destination.

Only a few. Nearly every farmer is facing a problem of There just aren’t enough for the hands to hire. Farming is generally very seasonal you work very hard for long hours during harvest, but that’s only two or three weeks a year. Planting season again, you work very hard for a couple weeks, but the new it’s done and you just wait for things to grow. It’s not just waiting, You occasionally have to get out to weed and monitor the conditions, but there’s many weeks where there’s little to do and no need for a farmhand.

Many farmers have a second job of some sort that they work between farming tasks.

immigration restrictions also hurt because people who are poor and would take anything and be happy with work for those few weeks can’t get in. In the poorest countries, you can easily have a nice living only working a few weeks a year in the US.

You can take an oil stone and just start grinding away until you get it to the shape you want. If you succeed this, I know some saints who need instructions on patience.

It is almost impossible to state this because it’s proving a negative. A company says they changed, sometimes they have, sometimes they only haven’t been caught anymore - there is no real way to know.

I know I’ve had to go through a bunch of trainings in my company of how not to do something that would get us fined, but I don’t know if it actually has worked or if it’s just a checklist item that keeps the fines down somehow

Neither. I’m stating that as a society, we treat them similar. Whether that’s right or wrong is not a judgment I am making.

The vast majority of people I know never commit anything that lands them in jail. However nearly all consider paying the speeding ticket fine once in a while just a cost of life they thinking nothing of.

A sandbox that has enough protection to be secure also has enough restrictions as to be too annoying to use, and often is useless. Don’t get me wrong, sandboxes can be very good, but only in specific situations. In general you need your applications to be secure without a sandbox.

Start with a problem. What you trying to solve. Hosting music is different from backing up your computer. That is different from a home dashboard.

What makes you so sure? I mean, I would hope that future generations will have parks, but we don’t know what the future is going to be like. There may be some consideration that we couldn’t even conceive of that would make it not a good thing for them to have a park. Or maybe parks are considered good in future generations, but there’s a reason that that is a particularly bad spot to have a park.
