Highways certainly have not, and for other roads it highly depends, just like in the US. But the Bundestrassen in Germany (the next larger roads after highways) have a speed limit of 100km/h and are very straight and definitely not artificially narrowed.

I'm actually not aware of any roads without a specific lane separator (like highways) that have speed limits above 100km/h in Europe (I certainly could be wrong though).
> Ballsy? They are the richest company on the planet, and the biggest risk to their business is stagnation. They have enough cash on hand to buy the international space station 3 times over. Investors are roasting them for being entirely dependant on iPhone sales for revenue.

It’s absolutely ballsy when you look at what happened with PowerPC (where they made the opposite decision to great effect), and the failure of competing attempts to do this such as Windows on ARM.

They effectively bet a full generation of laptop sales on the premise it would be a success despite their largest competitor attempting and failing to make the migration.

Different people value different things. Some people would seek out that degree of stability.
I’d volunteer for a challenge trial, so obviously I’d volunteer for this.
I don’t always want my wants either. The point is that needs usually produce greater motivation. The alcoholic who really wants that drink describes it as a need and works to satisfy it as if it is.
What would you say are the three biggest policy differences between right and left or democrat and republicans?
If you're asking about services too: Yandex Market. It's like Google Product Search that is actually successful and widely used for searching for specific products, or Amazon that doesn't swindle you left and right.

It's basically just a large catalog of products, filled by third-parties a-la Amazon now, only it didn't sell anything itself (until recently). Instead, it had detailed characteristics for a lot of products, with corresponding filters in the catalog; and good user reviews. Since Yandex is good at dealing with unstructured text, even poor data exports by vendors end up organized decently on the service. Since Yandex had millions of users on its other services, they all could leave reviews without much hassle. And since Yandex is primarily a search engine, it knows when a bogus review is spammed across the web.

Alas, it's only available in Russian since it works with Russian shops. Every time I need to look for a product on the English web, I lament that there's no service that is quite that solid. Amazon has filters, but search results usually look like simply a bit better Aliexpress. In regard to Google Product Search I don't even know anything particular—I tried to use it a couple times, and my general impression is that it... exists. Not much else.
No, of course this is not asking too much, and my family has been doing it diligently ever since the regulations started.

But I can't help but wonder if there wasn't another way, like making only that most vulnerable part of society go in lock-down -- and nobody else. Most of the elder people aren't exactly spending hours outside every day anyway (by my observations at least which can of course be wrong). And many of them don't have the physical energy to be active outside, so maybe making only them go in lock-down would have been the best outcome for everyone?

Who knows. But in general the COVID pandemic has been handled extremely poorly almost everywhere. And businesses are closing down forever.
This is a tough story that shows effects over a lifetime.

It's not just about EMPLOYERS or capitalism. Child support enforcement and the family court has beat the crap out of me "in the best interest of the child". They shoveled all assets and pay to the mother, using the expected lawyer tricks and then big lies. I literally won at court of appeals because the judge used fake math. 1.5 years later the lower court refuses to have the re-hearing, refuses to stop the fake math monthly number, and I lost my apartment. Ridiculous and harming my child. "Government immunity" makes it easy for them to get away with putting my child into poverty. Government doesn't care about my child.
There were no signs of your cold on the audio podcast version of the interview :)

One issue I’ve had with Greek philosophy is that although I know there’s interesting content within the stories, it all feels very distant, I can’t pronounce many of the names, a lot of the stories don’t feel super relevant, so there isn’t much that ‘sticks’ in my head.

It’s a bit like reading Shakespear, I rarely get into it, spending all my thought decrypting low level meaning/semantics, and I just never get to the interesting higher level story arcs, or when I do, my flow is too easily broken by some weird old English saying that I am unacquainted with. I guess it’s like any language, lots of practice necessary.

I’ll have to take another look at the Socratic method in more detail. If it’s a technique you are using, based on your interviews that I’ve listened to, then it’s clearly beneficial.
The media planting the seeds ever since the attacks on major over Maastricht. Ironically probably didn’t have an enormous influence come 2016 given how few people were reading papers by then, but the brainwashing about bendy bananas and Iraqi refugees had been planted. All it took was a leaflet from the “man of the people” saying iraq and Syria were following Turkey into the EU and bobs your uncle
So how do you test the design? I ask this sincerely. To me it seems that it's rare to know in correct detail what the design is supposed to do in advance, but also that even if you do, it often has oversights that aren't spotted until you've built them.
It is, and having spent much time in The Netherlands, I find this honesty to be typically Dutch. They usually don't mince words and seem to have a somewhat shared and implicit understanding that real cooperation can't happen without acknowledging and addressing the problems facing them.
Aha we must be looking at different data then, possibly someones already done much of the corrections on the version I'm looking at.
Cryptocurrency is not purely narrative driven. Bitcoin is, now. It wasn't up until 2017, when its daily transaction count was more than doubling year over year for 8 years:

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-number-of-confirmed-...

During that period, Bitcoin was amassing real network effects, which persist to some degree to today.

Some cryptocurrencies are amassing network effects these days, and may one day reach a critical mass of adoption that leads to one or more becoming a permanent fixture of the global economy.

>>As a result of crypto being a failure in its original purpose of payments

As touched upon, Bitcoin was succeeding in its original purpose up until 2017. Its failure since then was due to what amounts to politics, not any inherent limits in the technology.

Other cryptocurrencies have more than picked up the mantle since then with the development of technologies like zk-Rollups, zero-knowledge mixers and algorithmic stablecoins, and with these advances, hold the potential to create the ultimate payment system: one that is permissionless all over the world, not subject to volatile prices and cash-like in its resistance to mass-surveillance.

Поэтому интернационализм со стороны угнетающей или так называемой «великой» нации (хотя великой только своими насилиями, великой только так, как велик держиморда) должен состоять не только в соблюдении формального равенства наций, но и в таком неравенстве, которое возмещало бы со стороны нации угнетающей, нации большой, то неравенство, которое складывается в жизни фактически.

For whatever it's worth Rob Pike seems to credit Ken Thompson for the invention, though they both worked together to make it the encoding used by Plan 9 and to advocate for its use more widely.
They're fairly common in the U.S., as far as 2015 that I remember, except they're often flaky, rely on Bluetooth and have their own battery, which many means merchants who don't use them that often would switch them off to save the battery. And with your iPhone, it's likely you have it charged and turned on at all times.

My guess would be that a whole lot of porn companies would love if this was required, because it'd mean conditioning people to enter card details far more places, and would potentially allow for far easier upsells if people have already accepted they have no other way in than giving a card.

We've already been down this route in the past with "Adult Verification Services" after the Communications Decency Act 1996, when it quickly was turned into a monetisation mechanism for porn sites. E.g. see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_Check

(One might think the UK government would have someone sufficiently aware of history to realise how spectacularly that failed to stop access to porn for minors, but it seems not)

EDIT: Also, last time this specific UK attempt came out, MindGeek, the company which owns Pornhub, was one of the company vying to handle the then-proposed identity checking mechanism.

> [..] and MS Teams are pretty good [..]

I will never work for any company that uses Teams as their internal communication tool again.

I'm done talking about "admins who set up groups wrong", or indicators that I'm holding it wrong...

I feel very strongly that Teams is a consequence of a company that doesn't care what it inflicts on workers, regardless of price.

The way teams shoves itself down my throat (we do not use teams at my current company and it was one of the reasons I moved here) is astonishing too[0].

So, no, Teams is not "pretty good".

It wasn't stealing. The staff abandoned the margaritas, which I explained in the story.
If anyone blames you for getting fired up by my original phrasing it won’t be me! I thought I was making a drive-by anecdotal observation about a signal I’ve used to work with smarter people than myself, by the time I had read it over once or twice there were like 100 child comments and it was too late to choose more temperate language.

It wasn’t my intention to imply that I was smart personally, rather that of the crazy effective people I’ve had the privilege of working with, Haskell hackers are wildly over-represented in that group.
I ran an ed-tech firm for years (without success), so any kind of educational PR is difficult at best. I agree with homarp...Twitter is your best bet. Not to generalize, but a lot of the educational blogs are by moms and they're very picky about supporting indie material.

It might be good to start your own blog and then try to promote that as well.

The current central repository for Perl 6 projects -- http://proto.perl6.org/ -- has a number of cool projects, but they don't necessarily all run under the current Rakudo, as there have been two waves of major changes in the last six months, and not everyone has caught up.
Some people, like me, simply can't not create PLs. This post is for them. Politics doesn't even enter the picture.
Umm, did you read what you linked to? PHP reflection is a verbose, ugly mess.

$reflector = new ReflectionClass('A');
$properties = $reflector->getMethods();

Ruby:
a = A.new
a.methods

i think you're attributing far too much cunning and big-picture thinking to developers. specifically, the logic chain here would have to run "this dude is telecommuting, which means that he can live somewhere cheaper than sf, which means that he can accept a lower salary, which means that salaries across the board will tend to drop, which means that my salary will be affected, which means i'd better shaft him". i'm not saying that a malicious developer can't whisper into the right ears and get someone into trouble, but it's usually because of some more directly personal dislike or jealousy.
What is it about Keiretsu that is dubious (really curious)?
Definitely interesting, as the iPhone was first unveiled in Jan '07.
It's worth noting that the price rise is in large part due to the switch away from coal[1] towards more expensive nat'l gas and renewables. A big chunk of the cost "increase" can be attributed to actually paying the cost of externalities (i.e. the costs of coal-burning to others is not reflected in the price).

You are right though, it does make the claim that "energy prices are going relentlessly hard" odd without further context; presumably he was talking about a more apples-to-apples comparison of how each type of energy is dropping in price (oil prices dropping, renewables getting cheaper), but that the mix is shifting towards types of energy that are more expensive (and have less externalities) so _residential_ energy prices reflect more of the cost.

Sure, pounds sterling had a different value in 1720 (although the question arises - a different value in comparison to what? The US dollar and the Euro didn't exist in 1720! You could take a set quantity of gold as your comparison, but the value of an oz of gold has fluctuated more than the value of a pound sterling over the same period).

However, it is all a bit immaterial. If the debt was denominated in pounds sterling, then it will be repaid in pounds sterling. If it was in guilders, then it will be repaid in guilders (or in sterling, at whatever the current nominal sterling/guilder exchange rate is).
What, the anti-ontological argument? Yes.

There's another very-slightly-similar inverted ontological argument that may have been in the back of my head. It's due to a chap called Douglas Gasking, and it begins with a standard ontological argument -- which, as you know, delivers us a Maximally Excellent Being. Now, of course God's signature accomplishment is the creation of the universe; but any creative achievement is more impressive when it is accomplished under greater constraints (so, e.g., while it is impressive to come up with a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem it would be even more impressive to come up with a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in the form of a perfect Shakespearean sonnet). Well, what would be the most impressive obstacle for God to have overcome when creating the world? His own total nonexistence, obviously. So our maximally impressive being must be a god who created the universe without existing; therefore God does not exist.

I have to confess that I like mine better.

This usage of "formula" is entirely correct. Looking in the dictionary:

It's worth noting that 3/4 of the problems you list didn't exist 30 years ago.

The US had a highly functional, cost effective healthcare system until the early 1990s, when costs began to soar. In fact it still has the best hospitals and doctors in the world to this day, along with the best technology and best drugs. The US also has by far the most innovative healthcare tech and pharma industries.

The US did not have an obesity problem until the last 20 or 30 years.

The US still has by far the best universities on earth. There isn't even a close second. Make a list of the top 20 universities and the US will take 17 of those slots. It had a tremendous public education system, again, until about 20 years ago. And even now, half the country still does have an excellent public education system.

If the US is so inept at education, how come US universities stand so far above the rest of the world, and have for decades? Quick, name five universities of equal quality to Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Yale, Princeton - anywhere on earth, eg: Sweden, Switzerland, Norway.
For raw text, word and latex are equal (raw words, quotes, etc) latex and word are even in wpm. Certain areas of latex beat words in wpm (\ref, \cite) but there are many other areas where word wins.

I wouldn't go that far - there's still utility to be had in generating the theories.

What is a practical problem though, is that other less sexy fields of physics are losing funding to the string theorists. Give them their own discipline, their own pot of cash and let them figure out their theories - while simultaneously maintaining a separate pot of cash for those who work on the falsifiable parts of physics.

In other words, let it be a no-man's land, so long as it's boundaries are delineated and separate from the math, physics and philosophy that it came from. There's nothing wrong with designing a new discipline.

A lot of programming puzzles companies hand out can be solved with linear algebra. One company I interviewed at gave me a pretty complex problem, solved it with linalg. Didn't get the jib since I didn't use the usual data structures, but it was still a fun experience.
Julia has a smaller ecosystem than Python for sure, however julia has a couple of key ecosystem advantages that make it punch well above its weight class.

It really just boils down to the fact that julia's core value proposition is primarily enticing to domain experts trying to implement new algorithms without wanting to worry about switching languages for performance hotspots or having to reimplement existing functionality from other packages. Julia packages tend to be small, focused and astonishingly composable.

Hence, the proportion of the community that are actively developing and maintaining state of the art pacakges in julia is way higher than that in other languages like Python.

Furthermore, even if you're not some super researcher developer, Julia substantially lowers the bar for mere mortals such as myself to do package development. The composability I mentioned above means that I can stand on the shoulders of giants as I implement my own stuff, plus the fact that the majority of libraries are written in pure julia means that I can easily "peek under the hood" to figure out how they work and learn from them.

It's hard to make broad statements about how much ecosystem support one can expect from julia without first specifying the field. Some fields have fantastic julia support and others haven't received enough attention. It really just depends on if someone from your field has started making good packages yet.

I use the terminal version of Emacs. I've used a number of terminals and currently use Kitty[1]. It had some keybindings that conflicted with Emacs, but the config file has a really handy "unset everything" command. So, I only have keybindings for things I actually use.

Gay marriage was also prevented in America for hundreds of years 100% due to activists. There is no money for or against gay marriage, it was always only activists on both sides so it isn't a good example of a class war.
An American company is likely run by American citizens which comes with some protection from the Chinese government. Chinese companies owned by Chinese citizens don’t have that luxury so it’s similar but not the same.
I used to dislike dark backgrounds, but now I have several apps set to dark mode. But going way back to the 80s, terminals were mostly dark mode. CRTs mostly looked terrible with bright backgrounds until the Mac.

I don't know if my own change in preference is due to underlying change in screen technology, or something else. Screen time might affect it too -- maybe people prefer light mode when they're only on-screen a few hours a day, but dark mode is better when using it all day?
With that stance (which I mostly agree with in theory, by the way), isn't it increasingly hard to do business with most VCs?
Nowhere else in the world other than California could Khosla have amassed the wealth he has in the way that he did. You'd think at some point he'd want to "give back", but I guess sociopaths gonna sociopath.

No dual monitor support.

The set as wallpaper feature set the wallpaper as the small-sized version of the photo. It's pixelated.

A lot of it is centered in video games, as is the history of tech and startups in Vancouver. That ecosystem seems to be doing well.

That's an interesting thought, but it'd be sad if they actually think that way. Actual success counts less than imagined one, because you can't inflate the numbers as much?
You mention equity? What percentage vested are you? How do you know it isn't worthless?

If you haven't raised money yet, or have enough revenue to pay yourself a decent salary, leaving is a legitimate option.

If the startup is screwed without you, and it doesn't have the revenue to pay you, then it's probably a doomed project.
