I never said we spend more on the military than anything else, and the budget you provided just helps to make my point clear. The main hitters of the budget are all social services that are politically impossible to cut. The top non service line items are the VA and defense.

The media.autoplay flags in about:config provide that option for anyone who wants it (and even more granular controls than those being exposed in the UI here).
I don't for certain. In my trip to China, I couldn't meet makers of LSEVs. What I do know is that there are no subsidies in that market, which means carmakers won't survive if they don't make a profit. But it's a good question whether they are making that profit at the cost of human lives (no crash protection) or the environment (lead-acid batteries).
They never really had enough cars in the road. Whenever I looked, the wait times were 20-30 minutes, which was much worse than Uber (~5 min). I don’t think I ever even used the entire free credit.

Plus, Montreal has excellent public transit, fairly terrible traffic/roads, and-despite the weather-is often quite walkable.
What I mean is, in many countries there all are third-parties, because there is no monopoly on postal services anymore. So they must cooperate in some way and share the redirection-database. And this means implementing this would be very very complicate and take a long time, because companies are not very eager for cooperation until some strong reason exists. And this feature, as nice as it would be to have, is not really a strong reason for cooperation.

In the first place there is not even enough data to know whether the huge investment would be justified.
A 330% ROI.

I can understand the appeal, though I question the sanity of ever trying to pass the $100 bill off after purchasing it on the black market.
Naturally it is when you are angry for no reason and it goes for months :)
I have had to deal with inexplicable anger and irritability for a long time. It is possible this traces back to being misdiagnosed and prescribed 5 antibiotic recipes back-to-back as a child.

Long and tedious story short, when I cut milk, gluten/short carbs/whatever pesticide they use for wheat, and excess sugar from e.g. prefabbed food from my diet I gained 10kg and my life basically turned around. Turns out having your gut constantly inflamed is bad for your mental health.

I have missed so many opportunities because of this. It's not right.

ED: Apparently I need to point out that one possible cause may be that antibiotics killed the gut bacteria I needed to process milk, wheat and sugar. If so, this malady could be solved with a less revolting alternative to fecal transplants.
Back in 2017, we had the deadliest mass shooting in American history - over 50 deaths and over 400 gunshot wounds (!!!!) [0] - and precisely nothing has happened. The suicide and assault rates, including school shootings and other mass shootings, has only increased over time, with more deaths every year.

No signs point towards a scenario where things get better after people die. Our political system is a sick one. Expect no change.

In the world of S3, cheap CDNs etc the cost difference would be negligible. The user difference would be more pronounced, though, as their limited bandwidth (particularly on mobile) is taken up downloading a bloated GIF rather than something more useful.
Agreed. Most of my solutions[0] use something simple like

input
.lines()
.map(|s| s.trim())
.filter(|l| l.len() > 0)
.map(CustomType::from)

Two Weird Ways to Regularize Your Neural Network

Newark Terminal C is nice. Terminals A and B are still stuck with a layout that was designed right before security checkpoints really became a thing, and consequently doesn't accommodate them well.

Not coincidentally Terminal C is the exclusive domain of a single airline (United), who could finance the improvements and realize the benefits of a renovated terminal. Terminals A and B are shared between a bunch of airlines, so no individual airline has much of an incentive to finance renovations.

IMO Newark's integration with the train system is much worse than JFK's, because the Newark AirTrain is slow and unreliable, and there are often 40+ minute gaps between NJ Transit trains at the Newark Airport stop. The JFK AirTrain is speedier and more reliable, and the combined frequency of LIRR and the subway is much higher at Jamaica.
There is a version of the internet of APIs that I wish came to fruition, where it was a series of pipes of raw, live information that you could use to display interesting things about the world or ingest into your own software. Think a personal dashboard of easy to set up and reliable tidbits of information from all around the web.

APIs tend to be hyper specialized and actually far more about using the platform within the platform boundaries rather than interconnecting different APIs or interfaces and making a modular program.

I tried to build the "display live information" part of the idea but I found that it takes a really specific type of information to make it interesting and there are very few free APIs that provide that kind of thing. It needs to be "live" data in chronological order, and it needs to be about the world, not about some platform. For example "Number of astronauts currently in orbit" is fantastic and fun to show in a live graph. "Stars on my github repo" is kind of cool too, if you have a popular repository. There just aren't many free endpoints like that.
Almost every prerecorded interview presented as they currently are would carry the disclaimer. It might cause interviews to be presented differently (either ruthlessly trying to keep on topic, or with an easy link to the full interview), but even if not, having that disclaimer would be useful as an indicator that forced people to remember that what they are seeing might be out of context, and to look for that context.

Finally, I think it would give people more tools for going after the purveyors of misleading content. Either they would need to have a disclaimer, which could be pointed to for those that accepted the content without reservation, or they could face repercussions.

I see no problem with forcing people and organizations that purport to be representing a real situation but are instead presenting a view of that situation ideally suited to their own narrative to note they are doing so. Just because we've been conditioned to be tolerant of it in our media does not mean it's acceptable or needs to continue as it has.

In my world people aren't encouraged to start any sort of professional treatment as a first course of action, as it totally externalizes one's locus of control and robs them of the ability to help themselves through learned skills of introspection and metacognition.

Why do you resort to such sophism ?
Mmm... steak-holders.
No surprise, our focus in this nation has been on LGBT rights, all genders share one restroom, illegal immigration should be able to live here at will, the rich should be taxed 70% because top 20% earners paying 87% of the tax is apparently not enough, our education favors no child left behind fully and nobody cares for the 'race-to-top' thingy, and your chance to get into good colleges is tied to your skin color, job should be distributed by skin colors too(except for NbA though). Seen all these from 10000 feet above, we're rapidly socializing this country.

Which, will bring down the nation to rat hole in no time, infrastructure is just the start.

The whole country, sadly more so the education system from K-12 and up, and 90% of the main stream media, are so brain washed by the extreme left ideology and political-correctness, good for them the tipping point has already passed, there is no way back, USA is totally screwed, it might be the nation in power in history that has the shortest timeshare.

Downvote me freely, I'm ok to get 1000 downvotes than living with the political-correctness nonsense. Enough is enough.
The headline is clearly wrong. Maybe they should have said "current trees". The tree tech has already been invented to circumnavigate present restrictions in tree biological restrictions. Very clickbait-y.

The more you know about the world and tech especially, the more you will get depressed, IMO, maybe I'm wrong.

Humans in general are pretty shitty, driven mostly by self-interest. I guess there are people driven by doing good but most people are capable of doing terrible things, especially when in a group.

I do suffer from existential depression, I'm generally pretty happy, but as I learn more and live longer my outlook on the world gets worse. I did therapy, it was nice to talk about things I would not bring up with friends/SO.

I tried meds but side-effects generally suck and the whole medical industry in the US raises my blood pressure.

Edit: I would still encourage anyone feeling unhappy/depressed to try all the options meds/therapy/meditation/w.e before accepting defeat.
I don't mind when it autoplays the next episode of something i'm watching. Though i find it stops the autoplay and asks me if i'm still watching at probably the worst times.

I can't stand though when it autoplays trailers or previews or automatically starts something new when i've finished something i'm watching. Scrolling through netflix and having things autoplay as I scroll through is annoying as all fuck.
Let me help you visualize it, in the midwest i live in a town of ~80k people. The local police department just spent money on buying a armored bearcat assault vehicle.[0]

At the city council meetings we were assured that the vehicle would 'hopefully never' need to be used. And people fought back saying that the there is no need for this in our small town. There are literal gun ports out the sides of the thing like a tank.

They ended up buying it, and now that they have spent massive amounts of money on it, they are probably going to find some excuse to use it.

For reference they bought the Military warzone model not the SWAT model.

They will be in the US, because there's supposed to be NHTSA-approved version. Given regulations in Europe, I assume that would be the case too.

That means this version has some more safety features than the the base model in China, which could explain why it costs more than 3x outside China.
These I'm not sure, but overall yes they can be street legal: The Renault Twizy -- I've seen them in France and in Cambridge, MA (https://www.bonzer.rocks/) They're in use and cost ~10k. Last time I checked you can get a 25mpg and a 50mpg version. While the 25mpg versions are street legal and available now in the US market, I believe the 50mpg version is still only available in europe.

Thanks for sharing that! It's great to see a technology like this actually out in the wild being put to use. How do these fare in the massive waves that happen in the far south?

How you deliver unpleasant news matters. You will be shunned and bad-mouthed if you don't find amiable ways to deliver unpleasant information. The author Dale Carnegie was mostly right; I'm just the messenger. ("How to Win Friends and Influence Others.")
I’m not really disputing any of that.

My point is that the performance benefit of implementing a web UI build tool in a compiled language is not always insignificant.

And as you conceded in another comment in the thread, you can use npm to distribute pre-compiled binaries, so I don’t think the “it’s too cumbersome to download a binary” argument holds much water either.
For the downvoters, I'm fairly certain this was an attempt at sarcasm.
If you get rid of "merkle tree" requirement, then you have just described database files hosted on github.

It does plenty of advantages -- it scales good and if done right, it is immune to hacking or site going down.

But it has some disadvantages as well -- the biggest is that client needs to do non-trivial, complex work, so you cannot just insert AJAX call onto your webpage. Also, you lose all control of data, so a competitor can trivially clone your service.
Okay, please state the supposed crimes of the ashes of Netscape because I think a lot of people here aren't following your line of reasoning.
No safety protection = not cars IMO.

It abstracts communication-layer logic out of your containers. You don't have to code stuff like TLS, retries, failovers, circuit breakers, load balancing, etc. You code business logic in your microservices and declare all this communication stuff in a shared config file. This configuration is picked up by Istio and deployed into more containers that serve as transparent proxies implementing communication-layer logic.
Good point. Didn't realize that was possible now. But makes sense given how long some electric cars have been now. Next time I write about LSEVs, I'll make a note to mention second-hand electric cars.
Indeed, any pilot will respond to nose down with ,pulling back on the yoke, or on the joystick, in other and older aircraft. This is a basic flying control, as basic as steering wheel and brakes, making this an excellent analogy. Any system that complicates this in the way described is a terrible system, for the reasons explained above.
This assumes you know what you're getting into when you click a link. That's not how the web works. Many sites are unfamiliar and we shouldn't have to keep track of them all.

If we want people to be happy visiting sites unfamiliar to them and encourage diversity in their reading, we need to make sure the defaults are good. You can always adjust them on sites you know well.
It's unfortunate that you felt attacked, because I didn't read the article that way at all. I'm neither a fan of JS nor particularly WASM, and I read the authors article as quite supportive and appreciative, and pointing out a potential area for improvement / documenting experiences -- and I'd love your thoughts on it!

To me, it broke down as:

(1) SSA form would allow for substantially simpler compilers. Adding block/loop parameters while maintaining support for locals as an extension doesn't address that, as compilers would then still have to implement full support for both modes of operation.

(2) The magnitude of the performance impact of this design decision.

I have some limited experience in compiler design but not enough to really have an understanding of the implications.
Depression isn't "feeling any way other than perfectly fine", it's feeling so continuously for an extended period of time such that your mental state begins to prevent you from living a normal life.

Depression is a real issue for some people, and by trivializing it and blaming big pharma all you're doing is reinforcing the stigma around mental illness which makes it harder for people who really need it to seek help.
Sounds like it's a bit more nuanced than the headline would suggest. More CO₂ only means more growth when CO₂ is the limiting factor on growth in the first place. Water, nutrients, and sunlight all play a role as well.
but how do you handle a lot of links.. 1) find a way to just diplay them all 2) put them on a separate navigation page (e.g. a second level)

You are overlooking that burglars often have interests outside of burglary.

The scenario where his blog could get him burgled is not burglars who set out to identify targets by reading travelogues. It is a burglar who happens to read the blog because he finds it interesting and happens to recognize that he is being presented with a burglary opportunity.

Here's an unpopular theory: America is so pitted against eachother along a number of dimensions: class, race, ethnicity, gender, sex, political view, religion, etc etc... that we've stopped thinking of ourselves as a cohesive society. And when you don't have a cohesive society, you don't care about improving things for everyone, only for your specific tribe. Why should tribe X care about the quality of life of tribe Y, when tribe Y likely doesn't care about them?

The article mentions "wealthy Asian nations" as an example of what things could be like in terms of quality of infrastructure. Do you know what those nations have in common? Homogeneity. Japan is 98% ethnically Japanese. Thailand is 92% ethnically Thai. China is 94% Han. It's a lot harder to consider someone "not of your tribe" when you're less diverse.

We did that exercise too. But we also did one outside which is more realistic. There the distribution was very uneven. I don’t think think you can find a dosage that makes sure the bad guys are incapacitated while not killing others.

As far as I know this is also a factor why chemical weapons weren’t used in WW2. They are way too hard to control to be useful.

> Some or all of your information may be shared with other companies ... to provide you better service and improve user experience.

Servo was a test bed, a place to experiment with new technologies on a minimalist browser. The successful underlying technology was/is being moved into Firefox (desktop and mobile).

There's also a new (I think?) mobile browser in progress. I'm not sure how it fits into the larger picture and information is a bit scarce, they just started releasing beta builds.
Not enough high skilled workers? That is simply not true, highly skilled workers earn good money (programmers, engineers, doctors), the problem is with low skilled ones, who earn 4-5 times less then in Western Europe. In every country you have lot more of low skilled than high skilled workers hence this is where the problem lies.

There is absolutely no difference in how a shop assistant deals with clients in Hungary or Czech Rep. as in UK or US. So why the disparity? It is definitely not caused by skills, the prices of goods are the same (for sure not 4/5 times cheaper), so what is the problem? The foreign companies? Not enough powerful unions? Governments allowing that?
I rarely see cars parked in the middle of the sidewalk obstructing walkers or prank-parked in the middle of a grassy park. Lime bikes on the other hand ... every day.
