Are state colleges not also publicly owned? Those ain't nearly as affordable as community colleges.

When I was in high school, being railroaded into prioritizing CSU or UC admission requirements over graduation requirements was the norm even for students (like me) who had effectively zero chance of getting into one of those schools immediately after high school (let alone getting a scholarship or meaningful financial aid or any other way to avoid a predatory student loan).
There's zero reason to say that a ring line must through low density areas. You can place the ring (or partial ring) underground at a variety of locations that would be higher density, you could have it be further out from downtown as a mix of above and below ground, it's just about what we are willing to pay. Obviously, an all-above-ground follows-the-beltway route would be pretty low density.

As you know, the DC Metro has several U shaped lines. It takes a ridiculously long time to get from say, College Park to Dupont Circle. Or from the stadium to Silver Spring. A few linker lines would make the downtown system far quicker internally and also accelerate those kinds of trips, even if it doesn't create a full ring. The goal should be much like the NY system: I can get anywhere in DC relatively easily using only the Metro.

I think the way you've phrased the cost-benefit is exceedingly narrow. Operating a train is a fixed cost, if it's highly utilized the cost goes down. As such, making the service more useful can shift the cost-benefit. Also, there are benefits (for example fewer cars on the road) which don't seem to be taken into account.

Finally a key assumption here is that Uber's price is real. I personally don't think Uber's current prices are sustainable. They are either 1.) subsidized by investor capital or 2.) dependent on paying drivers essentially minimum wage (maybe even less) or 3.) both. If you didn't have Uber around would your analysis shift? (genuine question) In the past I doubt we'd have said, "Taxis are a replacement for public transit." We should be careful of making a similar argument today.

Re. low wage workers, it's a concern. You make some good points, but I'm not sure I buy that the answer is Uber or leasing EVs. How many have access to a charger for that EV? How many can get a driver's license? The poor often live precariously, they may not be able to park that car a month or two from now, or who knows what other problems might come up.

In short, I think focusing on top line cost-per-ride is a very incomplete way to look at infrastructure.

p.s. $40 from downtown DC to Annapolis, wow Uber is cheaper out there than here in the bay area.
"I think the Air's extra 3/4 pound of weight is somewhat unfortunate but I'd imagine that the extra horsepower is probably needed for most people over the anemic performance of the 12" MacBook."

Not having paid attention to Mac laptops in a while, that just seems ridiculous. Maybe they're doing great things now, but they must have really been out to lunch if they ended up with a product line where the "Air" model was the heavy and high powered choice.

Sorry! I'll be more careful.
That just centralizes and adds more vulnerability to the person who bought the device (vs something more ephemeral and software based where you have more plausible deniability).
I feel like they are making way for the 16” MacBook(Pro).

Probably possible with a local VPN on android? I believe those can do anything they please.
> the air is the low end model (for apple at least); you get this if you want the cheapest possible apple laptop. if you want to spend more money, you pick between the ultraportable macbook or a more powerful macbook pro.

That's how it was before this announcement. Now the MacBook is gone, leaving the updated MacBook Air as the most portable option. This makes a lot more sense, since the "Air" name was meant to denote portability, and the original Air was the most portable option when it was introduced.
Also worse than no fan, since you could fill that space with battery if there wasn't a fan there.
Yup. Thats why I think all 3 of my points above need to happen at the same time. Working toward forgiving debts while still handing them out is counter productive.

Only semi related, but I also take issue about how we got there in the first place.

"Lets make college free!"
"No, this is AMERICAH!~ People should pay for things!"
"Ok, then lets give out loans! Gov will insure them, so its win win! People get to go to college but it doesnt cost anything!"
"Ok, lets do that!"
"Waaaah! People can't pay back, lets forgive their loan"
"Err, wait a minute...didn't we say they were gonna be loan exactly so it wouldn't end up with the gov paying for it?"

Its even worse than if it had just been made free straight up, since infinite loans basically made education prices skyrocket mostly unchecked. This bullshit happens everywhere in the US (see: healthcare). And this is the worse of all world: you have "free market" problems, unbound pricing problems, AND the government picks up the tab. Fail on all counts.

But that's a different issue. For now, yes, lets do something about all the people who are fucked, BUT AT THE SAME TIME lets tackle the root cause.
That's not the point. The point is for YouTube to censor views the government and/or large corporations doesn't like and start getting traction.
Originally I wasn't even concerned about an adblocker being built-in. I
was just afraid that it will be used as an argument against more
powerful extensions.

But you brought up another point: I think it is in the nature of an
adblocker, that it MUST be "elitist" to be actually useful. If every
browser does "adblocking" by default, the ads will just adapt. That
will be as useless as the HTTP-Header "dont-track-me".
As a senior Java / CPP developer, reading what Wozniak had written, it might have been some incantation in a forgotten language.

I really wish I had done more embedded and assembly at school. I can't understand it or appreciate it.

Maybe SW and HW shouldn't mix, bar a few visionaries who bridge both worlds?
I'd take some convincing that anyone actually thinks a terrible movie that had a thousand metres, or whatever it was, of sea level rise is a real possibility.

We're "only" looking at a rise under 100m even if we lose both ice caps. Which would take centuries to fully melt... Would still end up being catastrophic for the society we built.
I wish they would keep Macbook, Macbook Pro, Mac, Mac Pro, iMac, iMac Pro and so on. Pro is for Professionals (beefest CPUs, ECC memory, workstation-grade GPU, abundance of ports, big battery), ordinary model for ordinary people (desktop-grade hardware, design, etc).
I love my touchbar :)
Proper black market is exactly a part of the industry that the state fights.

One of the things I always wanted was to create a black market for electronics in my home country (Brazil) because taxation here is really high.

You should also know that the government with its patents system is the root cause of this price spike.

I wish black market organizations doing legit and good stuff (like selling medicine that is pricey due to state granted monopolies) was the norm and I hope someday it will be. However, we are not there yet.
At least VST allows you to switch to and from using basic controls and the full plugin UI. Actually, if your plugin does not provide a UI, the DAW host will provide a generic one for you, with basic controls like sliders, drop-down menus, etc. that map to the parameters that your plugin use. You should probably just use those if you are blind, again assuming that the host provides all the accessibility features you need (I am not sure if all VST hosts do, you should check).

"Thousands" is true, but, in the specific domain of modelling the climate there are not that many people doing it.

Weather forecasting is more about interpreting the results than writing the code for the model, and, realistically there are only the British and American weather supercomputers. Everyone else is borrowing the GRIB data and then doing their own interpretations.

As for that interpretation, a surprising amount of forecasters operate much like how gamblers work.

Think of a horse racing scene, the horses and the riders have form, i.e. how they have performed in the past. Then there is the course, this may or may not suit a given horse/rider combo. Weather, time of day and other factors come into it. Not to mention the prize money and the competition.

A gambler looks at the form, the weather and works with their niche of specialist knowledge, similar with weather forecasting.

The 'bet' might be what the weather is going to be in Dudley tomorrow or in Barnstaple, or anywhere else. The goal of the forecaster is to get it right. The observations are the key to it and the GRIB forecast data is not to be considered strictly accurate. Even if it is accurate it still needs interpretation. Even with the data and an eye on the metosat images it is incredibly hard to get the likelihood of rain right.

Sometimes a step outside is needed too - with a local forecast.

The resolution of the GRIB is not that good, so if you have a town at the foot of a mountain and next to a lake, it might not have a realistic prediction. The GRIB data might be for the top of the mountain or the middle of the lake. You need an expert to actually do an educated guess as to what temperature it will be there in the morning.

Forecasters actually understand some things that are going on in the now, so a storm off Africa that goes across to the U.S seaboard as some tropical storm will come back across to the British Isles as rain. Forecasters don't tell you that there is a queue of storms heading across the Atlantic on the way to the U.S. and inevitably going to bring rain to the UK after that. But that information could inform your holiday plans for a few weeks ahead. The computer and the meteosat images might show all this but they won't interpret it for you.

Then, when you get down to it, forecasting can often be done with horse betting mentality, like a gambling addiction.

What would be cool is to have a consumer grade version of the software the weather forecasters use, where you can go forward and back in time layering up different types of data at different altitudes. But weather forecasting is like its own magic circle and it would be betrayal of sorts to share the tricks and the props with the audience.
Interesting, I use Logic and have never, once, used the touchbar or thought of a use case for it. I use a keyboard usb-midi with simple pitch bend, sustain, tone wheel, etc controls. If I need to adjust a knob on a virtual control I simply use the mouse just like I’ve always done. The only thing I use the keyboard for is shortcuts like split/join tracks, solo, mute/unmute, new/dupe track. I don’t even need to look at the Mac keyboard because Apple has kept these consistent in Logic for years (which I expect).

Unless I’m missing something I can’t think of anything the touchbar could do better for me. (just my 2c anecdote)
I have a Mac that I use daily and I have no idea what model it is or what the specs are. I'm also a technology professional.

Arguably had a 250kt device, judging by seismic data, although they may have killed a lot of people involved by detonating it? I'm just going by what is in the linked articles from Wikipedia, although the Wikipedia articles themselves don't mention it as it hasn't been independently announced as such by any non media organization.

I'm not sure I understand the concept of "resale value" when it comes to a Raspberry Pi... they're dirt cheap boards, who's going to look at one and go "this is a wise investment that I will be able to sell on a year from now at a good price"?
I like the touch bar. Sure it's a few tweaks to get it how I want but I like it.
There are no bad trees, but the context for them just might be! Ireland's semi-state forestry co with just little planning & a healthy minority of native trees, could we have advanced this lovely idea by decades.

However, I do wonder if we're running out of climate runway, to ever seen anything as beautiful as Oregon's spruce forests in Ireland. The day after they clear a commercial forest here is not pretty!

On a related note (not that anyone reading this today will ever get to see its glory days) private individuals in Ireland have planted, far inland, a Redwood grove as a hedge against environmental disaster:

my 2015 Pro is so much better than mycompany 2017 Pro w/ touchbar

like people are saying, most people just don't care about the touchbar. It does get annoying at times (as a vim user). Why WHY do they hide the esc key and have it take two inputs to increase the volume/brightness by more than 1 tick (sliding is terrible).

Other than that, I totally agree, the real focus should be the keyboard. Because it's shit. Here aresome of the awesome problems I go through on a daily basis at work.

- space bar double spaces all the time. Turned off key repeat and also whatever other suggestions I could find on Stack

- backspace deletes too many characters

- keys double type or are just not responsive (space, left shift, fucking / for some reason)

yeah, real fun using it especially while I'm on call right now and working on prod servers!! WORK ON THE KEYBOARD APPLE
For all the devs wondering how to replace their MacBook Pros: I highly recommend running Linux on a Lenovo X1 Carbon. I've also heard good things about System76.
When I bind a socket to 0.0.0.0 it means to all interfaces on the host machine, of which 127.0.0.1 is one of those interfaces. Not sure if that answers your question.
When I read such stories, I wonder what the real story is. It's never the one that appears in the news.
The taxes here amount to 8,33% of the total ticket price.

The rest are actual charges that airports/government services levy for work done, as well as the famed fuel surcharge (usually recently noted as international/domestic surcharge) that airlines use as an wildcard addendum to the base fare of the ticket.
Even with high on carbon emission electricity, the train benefits a lot from not carrying its fuel.

The fact that people are breaking the terms of sale doesn't necessarily mean the concept of bundles is flawed. The fact that the economic viability of bundles depends on the bundled products being purchased almost exclusively by people who don't want them does indicate that the concept is flawed.

As far as I'm concerned, Pinboard is the most reasonably managed digital product I pay for. No feature creep, no bloat, no overthinking it.

While Maciej notes accurately that death comes for us all, he's already outlasted the theoretically more powerful competitor that was Delicious.

I would say "I'm excited to see what's next for Pinboard," but I suspect the future is all it needs to be: The service will continue to function as designed, and that's all I really need.

The Earth's magnetosphere & Sun's Heliosphere are measurably weakened due to the Grand Solar Minimum. The Earth is also going through a magnetic pole reversal. These magnetic fields shield Earth from cosmic rays. If they are weaker, Earth will be bombarded by cosmic rays.

But doesn't that depend on how large is the pot and how much energy you're putting into boiling it? Not to mention that you also need to know the environment in the which you're trying to boil the water. If you're trying to boil the water in the middle of arctic winter, can you predict that the pot will get to over 100C if you're using just a small camping stove? :)
Nah, you show them 7, and they pick 0 to go to your hand, and 7 to go to the trash.

A 50-hour pilot in a Bonanza A36TC is insane, I had no idea Woz landed off-airport. I do checkouts in Bonanzas, and the more typical A36TC/TN pilot has 500 hours' experience or more.

Remember when the EU had to pass laws to prevent everyone from making their own bloody chargers with proprietary plugs for mobile phones, because _no one needs their own custom charger_? Yeah, that.

It doesn't matter how cheap their charger is, no one should need to even buy one. RasPi botched their USB-C implementation, and the solution to that is not "buy yet another charger", it should be "we're fixing the design immediately, and it's going to cost us a fair bit but you can send your board back to get it replaced"
Yeah most people use it for browsing the web, syncing their iPhones and not much else; for most is a luxury item used as another success symbol, like driving a BMW or wearing Gucci belts.

Based on market share, Google has undoubtedly run the numbers and realized that increasing cloud portability hurts Amazon and Microsoft more than it hurts Google.

From that perspective, community adoption of k8 benefits Google.
Yes, but nothing without compromises. (e.g. AFAIK there doesn't exist a <2lb, >= 12" screen device with an Amber Lake CPU)

Steam has a page that lets developers query whether a key has been redeemed, but it only lets you query one key at a time. This makes it a pain to discover unredeemed keys. You also have no way of knowing if an unredeemed key is held by a legitimate potential player or someone trying to hoard and resell.

Surprisingly this is not true. A watt of energy can only produce a watt of heat, but can remove several watts of heat from a space.

That said, we're much better setup to increase total entropy in the atmosphere than decrease it (via heat sinks eg)
> The relationship between the AFP and journalists in Australia seems pretty adversarial

Well, yes. The AFP was, for a long time, an incompetent shambles. The media reported on the generous vistas of incompetence, bastardry and shambolatry.

Now the AFP is essentially taking its revenge, with gusto.
I did telephone tech support in an Austin boiler room for awhile and used the decimal IP notation I'd learned from my ISP days a lot. Sometimes accessing a customer's router home page is a must and there is no connectivity for name lookups. Elderly people have trouble with dots and numbers, or they add spaces, or any number of things.

Instead of directing them to 192.168.0.1 I'd tell them to enter 3232235521 and it would get the same place. My supervisor called me into the office because someone heard me doing it while snooping a call and it freaked them out.
No idea if this is practical, but I wonder people living on either side of the river could set up some kind of laser-based point-to-point pipe that would be nearly undetectable unless you knew exactly where it was?
> What would a possum do instead if there was no earthquake? Stay on the house?

During daytime? Yes, mostly, IIRC, they are nocturnal and come down during the day mostly when in food distress or disturbed.

But, of course, if you saw a possum come down (perhaps from hunger, or because a crow dropped a husk on it and disturbes it, or whatever) without a near-following earthquake, you might say “Hmmm, odd”, but it wouldn't be a major notable event. But two uncommon events near in time get linked mentally, even if there is no relationship.
I third that recommendation. Grant Cardones stuff is great for sales mindset. Less about the nuts and bolts and more about addressing underlying beliefs that are holding you back from selling.
Haha, I totally understand. The funny thing to me is that the widget doesn't change the name at all. The name always shows up as "Will - A Real Human". @ziddoap just misremembered the name as Matt. They're pretty similar.
