> Cars are what make roads fundamentally useful.

Roads predate cars by more than order of magnitude so that clearly is not true.

The issue with single occupancy cars is clearly different in rural vs urban settings and depends heavily on population density.

Both of the following are true:

Non-car owners in high density areas are subsidizing car owners in those areas. The lack of a need to pay for usage of those roads increases the cost of the transportation infrastructure (via increasing the attractiveness of car ownership and usage).

Dwellers in high density areas are subsidizing dwellers in low density areas. The lack of a need to pay for usage increases the attractiveness of dwelling in low density areas.

Nobody is suggesting that forcibly moving everyone to cities or taking away their cars is needed. However, perhaps people should pay the full costs of those choices in the interests of encouraging efficiency.
Some people appreciate the convenience of an automated valet, and use opsec to have their sensitive conversations on secure channels. It's not any more secure to store all your data on a webmail server that doesn't provide the Assistant stuff -- they can still leak or sell that data.
> and the traffic you deal with is purely http.

Which is a truly rare case as many backend APIs these days are mandatory secured by HTTPS (or LDAPS, SMTPS, IMAPS to name a couple other openssl-based secure protocols).
7 nm hasn't really been accelerated; it's more like only two years late. 10 nm was supposed to be out in 2016 which means 7 nm was supposed to be out in ~2019.
Rather than the forever loading site, couldn't you also include in the html doc something like this to have it simply refresh every few seconds?

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; URL='http://new-website.com'" />

So the page would simply refresh itself every 10 seconds.
>It's not Assange's fault if the selectively-revealed truth caused opinions to sway due to his editorial influence.
I wonder how equally distributed that cost is. If it follows a Pareto distribution, which would be my first guess, then it would be costing 20% of the population over $2000 per year. If so, it would be relatively insignificant to the economy at large, but worth still worth tackling for specific states or cities where the problem looms larger.
Of course not. Those are externalized.

Well, it's more like tiramisu with chocolate instead of coffee. In the end, as a user, I would prefer a convenient and polished product (that I can't sell) to worse product that respects some other people's definition of supposedly my freedoms.

Agree that crowd funding is another way, yes. Probably works for very few projects (font awesome comes to mind) though.
Thank you. This is what a ton of other comments are missing.

I've had to occasionally go to our main corporate office. If I rent a car from the airport, it's about 18 minutes from airport parking lot to door. Taking public transit means the absolute fastest I can get from transit stop to door is 32 minutes (25 minutes of transit + 7 minutes of walking). Taking public transit is an additional 14 minutes added to my commute time.

I'm not against public transit. People are pretending or under the wrong assumption that getting more people onto buses and rails means that the new commute time is now equivalent to driving a car on a road without traffic. You need to factor in time waiting for transit, stops between your pickup and destination, and last mile. Dense cities suffer from less of the last mile problem, because buses can take routes all through a city with more stops. Moving to the outskirts of the city will have a larger last mile problem where few buses are patrolling.
> the sheer amount of stack knowledge and framework knowledge required to do anything as a webdev these days

I think this is greatly exaggerated. You can get by just fine making your own sites knowing some basic html/css/maybe js, maybe some php too if you want backend stuff. Optionally some frameworks if you want, which should usually be easy enough to just follow some examples and get the functionality you want pretty fast.

If you're put on an existing web project, you probably only have to learn the bits immediately surrounding the things you do, picking it up as you go along. I still don't know Angular, React, Vue, or much else in the way of JS frameworks other than jQuery after being in web dev professionally for years, as it simply hasn't been needed.
It's not usually taught, I think, because if you dony have a knife (which is what professional rescuers will use if they need to do this), removing clothes tends to add delay and also involve moving the subject, both of which are strongly contraindicated in most circumstances where a lay rescuers needs to use CPR in the first place.
If you can spare the RAM, i'd stick the world on a ramdisk (I did when hosting a MC server and it makes an appreciable difference versus the terribleness of disk IO)
In theory, could the cells reside in a high temperature resistant vacuum flask (Dewar flask)? Made from quartz perhaps?

It might need supports between the inner and outer walls, causing heat to leak, and hence multiple layers of vacuum with supports to be required for containing the heat...
That's a whole lot a Maybe that's drastically at odds with millenia of human nature and human history.
Yeah so its mostly a split between Jupyter and R Studio - but Jupyter can mean different languages
Belt drives are comparatively expensive and don’t work with derailleur gears. Internal gears, especially cheap systems, still cannot offer as many gears as a derailleur. Belts also need to be pretty tight and thus cannot be used on most bicycles with a rear suspension as the distance between the pedals and the sprocket changes under load. So many people opt against belts.
Yeah its really not obvious how to get the code - there should be a "show css" link under the button.
I believe people underestimate what can be done in R/RStudio these days because they haven't been exposed to it.

R Markdown and its derivative are such great tools. I would also suggest xaringan if you want to present your work on a big screen.

> Cancer rate is 2.5x larger at average in four regions of Ukraine, which are near to Chornobyl.

Citation needed. WHO says up to 4000 early cancer deaths total from Chernobyl. 2.5x larger cancer fatalities would be hundreds of thousands if not millions of people which is not seen by any credible study that I'm aware of.

My ex grew up in Gomel and didn't get cancer. Neither did her parents.
Eh let’s don't. The thing about rural areas is nobody lives there, by definition. Our city centers should not be degraded so a tiny minority can drive. Instead we should have the Swiss/German S-Bahn model where outlying areas have train stations that take the rural folks to cities quickly and efficiently.
Maybe? I won't assert it doesn't, since I don't know. It certainly seems to be a tolerable solution to the questions of whether votes were changed, or whether ballots were disappeared without counting.

But I don't see how the ability of individuals to verify that their own vote was counted can sum, at scale, to verifying that real-but-fraudulent ballots aren't also in the total.

It seems like you could verify this if everyone who voted proved that their vote was included in the count and the full count was explained by everyone who proved they voted. In practice, that seems unlikely?

That is a philosophically incoherent model of privacy. The singularity notwithstanding, computers cannot “comprehend” anything. Spam filtering and credit statement parsing are no different. It’s all just ones and zeros being shuffled around.
On iOS, 3rd party keyboards block access to the voice typing function which is a dealbreaker for me. At least on my iPhone SE, it takes so long to switch between a 3rd party keyboard and the iOS keyboard to use voice typing that it's too painful to be worth it.

Traditional free software developers do not use the most convenient program without caring about freedom.

Otherwise, for instance, nobody would be debugging with gdb, rather than Visual Studio or what have you.Nobody would be LaTeXing instead of using MS Word or Adobe Illustrator.

GIMP isn't as good as Photoshop (if I believe what people say), yet people still use it. (I've only ever used GIMP since 1996; I have no idea about Photoshop and don't care; it's not free, won't use it.)

People went through all sorts of inconveniences to use free software, like manually figuring out monitor clock timings to stick into their X configuration, building their own custom kernels and whatnot.

You can't say "convenience wins" with a straight face; that's like saying free software doesn't exist.

Are we reading the same support article? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202303

Specifically listed as encrypted in transit and on server:

- iCloud Drive

Only mail is not according to this support article.

Edit: I see the omission now. These things are not listed under the end-to-end section.
I'm not sure what state you are in, but that entire statement is not true in the state of FL.

Per the link I cited above as a sample reference to vote-by-mail in the US -
"Vote-by-mail refers to voting a ballot received by mail or picked up by or for a voter instead of going to the polls to vote during early voting period or Election Day. Except on Election Day, no excuse is needed to vote a vote-by-mail ballot (see Who Can Pick Up a Vote-by-Mail Ballot below)."

The key phrase being that last one, "no excuse is needed to vote a vote-by-mail ballot". There is no verbiage about it being a "last resort" and that you can only vote-by-mail if "you're unable to vote in person". The Florida Division of Elections even titles the page "Vote-by-mail".

Chains are inexpensive, very efficient, and easy to replace or service. There's a reason bicycles have used them for over 100 years.
Man, if only the nytimes and the media was more concerned about censorship here in the US. But then again, it's the nytimes and the media championing censorship at home.
In this case I say let them have it.
Reading that article, the confusion is easy to explain and looks intentional.

It reads "For certain sensitive information, Apple uses end-to-end encryption. This means that only you can access your information" and then immediate shows a giant table of data that is NOT end-to-end encrypted, but not labelled as such -- it's only inferrable by its omissions from the next section of the document.
No, this violates current UCI rules.

"The front wheel shall be steerable; the rear wheel shall be driven through a system comprising pedals and a chain"

However, the rules do change and have been recently (like the removal of the 3:1 restriction).

It wouldn't be a burden on small businesses and individuals who are already doing the right thing and not asking customers to agree to crazy, unenforceable terms. And for those companies using boilerplate templates, what stops them from just using a template that only includes reasonable, obviously enforceable terms? Given the choice between downloading the "minimal, enforceable" template and the "questionable, you might get sued over this" template, which one would they go with?

If they are relying on templates you could introduce certification of templates and change the system that way.
Computers cannot “understand” anything. You are inappropriately anthropomorphizing an algorithm. There is no epistemological difference between spam filtering and credit card statement parsing. Either way it’s just a cpu pushing around ones and zeroes.

I have concerns about the longevity of those itty bitty ceramic bearings in real world conditions where you're hitting bumps and cracks in the road while under load from pedaling.

Also, literally every part of that page screams "expensive AF" including the part where they don't talk about the price.
Hope your Top-8 doesn't include someone who becomes a persona non grata (or religion non grata, or race non grata...) in the future.
You can seal the bearings, but that cuts efficiency. That's not the only problem, though. The interface between the bearing and the bearing sprocket will make it rather unusable in very dirty conditions.

Their setup seems like an answer to a question no one was asking.
Many modern capitalist governments, including the US, employ socialist programs with no intention of overturning capitalism itself.

And the entire thesis behind socialism is that it's morally superior to capitalism, in a similar way that free software is argued as being morally superior to proprietary software.
There are millions of people who absolutely have to have a car. There are lots of us living in rural - and even suburban - areas where public transportation is virtually nonexistent.
Almost all email clients are no longer actively developed. Hardly anyone is going to implement it.
This mirrors my experience where I went to college. Somewhat routinely, the driver would just not arrive, and you'd be waiting for nearly 2 hours for a bus to come.

We ended up calling the transit center basically every time. Their response was always "they should be there soon". Tons of students echoed the same results.

We went to a town hall meeting on transit. The person at the very top of the transit org-tree claimed he had never heard of these problems before, not even once.

---

At this point, our college was looking to get out of a multi-year agreement for ride discounts in year 1, because everyone who tried to use it was experiencing the same issues. There was already a paper-trail of complaints edging towards breach of contract claims. So the only conclusion we can really see is either a truly horrifying lack of communication along the entire chain, or they wanted to run the transit system into the ground and were intentionally lying about things. For a metro area covering nearly a million people.

---

Edit: this is all of course not helped by a lack of data. Busses didn't even have position tracking (they were "considering" starting a "pilot" with embedded gps reporting location over radio "in the next few years" by the time I left), so the transit center quite possibly truly didn't know where drivers were. Or if their route changes led to any improvement at all. The closer we looked at anything around there related to transit, the more insane it became. Transit in many places goes so far beyond basic negligence, it's hard to believe.
I'm not saying the quality of the software is the most important thing. I'm saying that software freedom is a pragmatic goal. Being able to fix your own software or bring it to anyone competent who can repair it is a practical thing. Giving the software to your friends is a practical thing. Being able to modify the software is a practical thing. Knowing that your software won't spy on you is a practical thing.

Software freedom is not some abstract ideology with no relation to pragmatics.
When IRC looks like this https://quasseldroid.info/assets/images/phone.png or this https://blog.irccloud.com/static/2018-05-14-slack-integratio... and people still complain about IRC’s UI or usability, then what more can we IRC devs do?
Are you guys running everything on a single box?

Do you get all developers to agree on which base image to build all their services from?

I heard about this "oh, it's shared, don't worry" thing before. It started with 40MB. Now that supposedly shared image is half a gig. "Don't worry, it's shared anyway". Expect when it isn't. And when it is, it still slow us down in bringing up new nodes. And guess what, turns out that not everyone is starting from the same point, so there is a multitude of 'shared' images now.

Storage is cheap, but bandwidth may not be. And it still takes time to download. Try to keep your containers as small as possible for as long as possible. Your tech debt may grow slower that way.

People care about it. It's the wealthy elites who don't care about it. The problem is that through control over media and social media, the elites can make it seem like nobody cares about it.

Also, the relentless censorship has been a fairly recent phenomenon. Oddly enough, pushed for by media elites like the nytimes and others.

It is a strange time where both the "left" and the "right" want censorship. But I doubt it will last too long. People are going to start pushing back sooner or later.

Who cares about being banned? Why would one continue to be a customer for a business that behaves this way? By the time you're at the point of suing a company or issuing a credit card chargeback, you've already burned the bridge and decided you never want to deal with the company again.

I've done a credit card chargeback about 3 times in my life, and in none of those cases did I ever worry, "Gosh, if these guys ban me, I'll never be able to give them my money again!"

Test Driven Development is the best thing that has happened to software design
I don't want to disparage any project or guess the motivation but there have been some undercurrents of anti-GPL sentiment at times and anti-complexity. Folks have sort of backed it up by posting some links to things that aren't as you might think. GLIBC in particular looks nothing like how you might imagine it. You can look at strlen in the K&R book and it's beautiful, like a textbook:
int strlen(char s[])
{
int i;
i = 0;
while( s[i] != '\0')
++i
return i;
}

then you look at: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=string/strl...

and your mind will sort of explode for a bit. The difference is the GLIBC version is dramatically faster; take the comments away and most of us wouldn't even know that's strlen. It's more complex, no question, but it's much faster. GLIBC is full of stuff like that. qsort and memcpy are non-obvious to many folks. It's not complexity for no reason, you'd be challenged to build a better qsort than the one in glibc, it's not easy.
