Openreach is utter shit outside of very very lucky areas. I live in London (zone 6) and we get 30/8 (after fighting with BT support for two months to fix it from 22/1). If you're not covered by VM and win the postcode lottery as to not have it drop constantly, you're lucky to get "tolerable" speeds.
Ultimately they are both "realtime logistics" and the minister better have expertise in longterm public projects then either. But yea, sure they better be seperate.
No, it isn’t. The homelessness issues in cities drive the popularity of suburbia, suburban style planning, avoidance of walking/transit, and the need for cars/parking downtown (since few want their kids to grow up where they work, especially outside top 10 cities). Car dependence is far and away the most effective “solution” to visible homelessness, and that’s part of why people are so attached to it.

Urban planning and public transportation also feed back into homelessness by prohibiting cheap housing types (like SROs) and making it nearly impossible to hold a job without owning a car in good repair (bus delays and cancellations will get you fired).

Thanks! That's loosely the plan. I'm hoping to get there one day, but knowing myself I would always be working on something, so the retire early part doesn't really apply to me. After work I tend to pick up other stuff, like contract work or learning something new (currently working through fastai).
Please make sure it works with JavaFX out of the box. Thanks!
He's not wrong. If you disable JS by default tabs will take much, much less RAM. Sites that require JS aren't worth the time anyway. Unless you're literally writing an application there's no reason to require executing code to render in text and images. And there's absolutely no reason to not have a no-JS fallback. In fact, there should be a real HTML skeleton first upon which you write JS enhancements.

But these are all things you do if you want to make a webpage for people. If your main concern is corporate profit or saving institutional funds then SPAs and requiring JS for obfuscation makes sense in the anti-user way that corps trend to. It's just faster. Who cares if it's anti-user when profits are on the line?
> As good as robots are getting at deciphering market jargon, even their developers admit they'll never fully replace humans. In the next decade, Sahni said smart machines will significantly enhance the capabilities of human analysts.

While these AI analysts won't "fully" replace humans, it's still pretty realistic for a team of 4 analysts to be replaced by, say, 2 humans and an AI for instance.

If the bots can take some of the grunt work like scraping/data mining, it makes the human analyst's job a bit easier for sure. If they're not one of the lay-offs, that is.

You got it backwards. Those of us who care about reliability would never rely on reliability of a single system to safely store data. And overallocating memory is not even remotely that important compared to everything else that can go wrong on a system.

Generally by "currency manipulation" people don't mean manipulation of the value of the currency in general but manipulation of its value with respect to foreign currencies in particular. So if the US just prints money to combat deflation that isn't currency manipulation but if it used all the money it printed to buy Yuan that would be. But really the whole public discourse around the topic is pretty confused. In the long run trade balances are governed by savings rates and its hard to keep things out of equilibrium in the long run.
Computer Science Could Learn a Lot from Library and Information Science
It would be interesting to see the quality of the code. Way back in the 90s Macromedia had a product called Fireworks, which Adobe subsequently bought (along with Flash, Dreamweaver etc.). It could turn designs into HTML+CSS but the code was horrible and no-one used it professionally.

I know we are decades past that, and the machine learning algos may do a better job but without seeing some code examples it has limited appeal to me.

I don't really know the kind of person that has to turn around so many websites that the boilerplating exercise is a big enough problem to pay to solve. I can see the appeal to people who have no experience building websites and a company like Wix might be interested in the tech. But professionals who need a monthly subscription has to be a tiny niche.

Impressive all the same though, what you have learned in doing this will lead to other great things I am sure.

It is interesting how many comments focus on anecdotal evidence ("it is very hard to live without a car where I live so it can't be done anywhere") or on exceptions ("what if you cannot walk because you're too old?" "what if you need to move your sofa?"...). It is typical for a lot of discussions about cars.

The article is about dense European cities. Not about <insert your prefered coutryside area here>. Nobody argues you do not need a car in the countryside. In cities in the other hand, cars take a lot of (pricey) space, generate noise and pollution. And when you need one, you can rent one, borrow one or use a taxi/uber/lyft.

And as we are talking about dense cities, the usual argument of "but wait, US is not as dense, we need cars!" is moot. US cities need cars because of being designed for cars. That's it, and that could be changed but that would require massive investments.

I don't think this statement is ignoring human input. It's extrapolating the result based on what we have observed about the interaction of the technology and the participating humans so far, viewing them as a single system. The passive voice is in recognition that an individual has almost no control over this system as a whole.

> Listing the items however if you don't already have a catalog is $4/M items

That doesn't seem correct. Each call to b2_list_keys can return up to 10 000 results, so it's $0.40/M items.

Correct, mainly because "normal" users didn't know how to copy/paste URLs or didn't bother to, supposedly. If desktop browsers had gone in the right direction, they'd have added a "share:" scheme (similar to "mailto:").

Object oriented principles to write clean code
That 'consideration' is drawing a line though. Where when two 'absolute' rights come into conflict does the decision to break one way or another get made? Choosing one over the other draws a limitation around the one that's less important in this context.

We have all sorts of restrictions on the right of free speech. I can't libel someone, I can't make a product and say it's the product of another company, I can't open a random burger place and call it Wendy's. These are all restrictions on my speech and (as far as I've ever seen) even the most ardent free speech activist isn't saying abolish trademarks.
I feel like it's more likely impacted by simple time: rural areas tend to see changes at a much slower rate, and I believe a (very) large chunk of the infra cost is just digging into the ground, and by the time it's being done for a rural area, it turns out fiber has become fairly cheap to produce...

So when the upgrades do finally roll around, it's not incremental -- it leapfrogs 2 decades or whatever of technology upgrades. A single upgrade places you far ahead of your peers, creating the dynamic you describe (and yet, your peers aren't actually that far behind, if they wanted to catch up)

The same thing occurs with third-world countries getting first-world tech; they get it sporadically, and so see large jumps of change instead of slow, incremental shifts; this also gives a bit of an advantage, as they don't have stale infrastructure from the incremental change, and so can make much more extensive use of the new tech. For example, China skipped credit cards and went directly to mobile payments -- and with only cash to compete, mobile took over entirely.

And so when these rural counties finally see an upgrade.. they see rapid full fiber coverage. There's simply no competing technology in the area, since its so far behind, and fiber keeps the county prepped for the next 20 years of no upgrades..

You cannot make reliable systems thinking like that. The point of resilience is __not__ to rely on correctness of kernel's advertised behavior nor correctness of your assumptions about it.

Well, let's be clear, I simply downloaded a torrent and let it seed for a while.

You seem strongly opinionated on this one though, I'm curious, what do you think of Tor or BitTorrent? Should such services be banned as they aid in the distribution of this type of thing too? If you're running a Tor middle node you're part of the distribution of not just all sorts of propaganda like this, but far, far worse things.

Do you think banning these services, reigning in control of information to "help prevent radicalization" in a China-esque way would be a good decision? In my view this is just part of living in a free society, freedom sometimes costs security.

Another reminder at how American-based airlines are nothing but profiteering cheapskates.

I recently flew internationally with SwissAir and was blown away by both planes' service, entertainment options and comfort, all in economy.

A year or so ago, I flew AA to Europe, and it was one of the most uncomfortable experience ever. The food was shit, the service was nonexistent, the seats were from the 1990s and the entertainment was allocated to one screen on the ceiling playing reruns of unpopular ABC shows. Not to mention the ticket was nearly $900 ... for economy.
Technically, extending on that, all data for any/everything should be open sourced.
In the case of driverless vehicles, the app developed with an inferior dataset will have a lower safety score, and thereby a higher number of casualties.
In theory we can say that there is a minimum number of casualties involved with getting into the market, especially if you are a new player. The buy-in is a number of human (and other) lives.

I have a friend who lives in a small market town in the North on an exchange only line, he gets 2/0.5. Most of his neighbours can get vDSL too, poor bastard.

He uses a 4G router with a Three unlimited SIM.

Frankly, Roblox is not the same as it was 12 or 10 years ago, when I played. A few weeks ago I reinstalled it and perused the catalog of games. Most or all of the top games have microtransactions in them, you can really feel the influence of money in the games development. My money on when it started going downhill was when Disney bought out Roblox, whenever that was.

I remember never getting more than a fraction of the speed. Like maybe 200 mbps max on a 500 mbps connection when downloading a file. I assumed with the number of people with gigabit connections two years ago I’d have at least run into a few servers that didn’t throttle that low.
I said even at company friendly companies. Basically you'll see this happen even at companies where you CANT just switch job to get a raise (eg: companies that give out RSUs and had huge stock value bumps, making it unlikely you can get the same elsewhere).

I've seen it happen many times. People who got promotions after promotions and are paid absurd amounts, and after 2-3 years will jump ship anyway, often with a pay cut to join their friend's little startup.

Which is fine, its their choice and if they like that better, they certainly can go for it. That doesn't change that it's basically cultural at this point. Software engineers jump ship really quickly, even if everything's perfect (which, admittedly, is rare). I've done it many times myself.
Toni Morrison, ‘Beloved’ Author and Nobel Laureate, Dies at 88
I'm not an expert but there are large swathes of rough sleepers in SF, SJ, NY, Austin, LA, etc. And even though the % of population in the US who are classified as homeless in the US is less than e.g. UK, there's nothing on that scale of rough sleepers scale in comparable or larger cities like London, Paris (maybe 17de?), etc.

I don't know if the definitions of homelessness plays a part in the different %s but the suffering of homelessness seems higher in the US than EU.
I like how the modern solution for weak back/core musculature is to buy an expensive laptop that excessively sacrifices repairability and upgradability.
This is a major problem in discourse on political and social matters, judging by what I hear in the United States. Instead of stating a position and supporting it with reasoning, we state a position and support it with, "and you're a racist/homophobe/communist/Jacobin/baby-murderer/$OTHER_MONSTER if you disagree." Nobody is convinced by verbal brickbats like these; instead, they're convinced that their opponents are impossible fanatics who can't be reasoned with. I can't imagine a series of publications like the Federalist/Antifederalist papers today, or even something as gentle as FDR's fireside chats; we don't, on the whole, have the intellectual honesty to listen to a conversation. Listen to what is considered "winning" in a political debate: it's not the reasoned defense of a position, or proposing an innovative solution to a recognized problem, but the snappy insinuation that an opponent is a closet racist and possible pedophile.

(Obviously, I'm angry here, but I'm also very, very sad.)

>As I have tried to show repeatedly, multiple parties can be intolerant.

Re-read your original comments then:

"The pro-life position of forcing women to not have abortions is indeed intolerant of their rights."

"Forcing people to abort would be intolerant of life or religion, but that is not what abortionists do or are."

Now understand that abortionists are "intolerant of life" as the original GP stated, because they are intolerant of the children/fetus rights, not of the woman deciding not to abort (I think that is obvious to anyone... but here I am having to write it down).

Your all argument was that woman have those rights, but children/fetus don't, therefore forcing woman to conceive was against their rights, and, you concluded, intolerant.

I confronted you with realities where the children/fetus rights are higher than those of women (i.e. Alabama) and by your reasoning, that changes who is the intolerant one.

> The concept of intolerance is not any more "abstract" than "the concept of harm".

Harm is also an abstract concept of course, I don't understand where you want to go with that sentence.

RAID give you in time redundancy, so your system doesn't fail while your working.

Most home users don't need this, it's cheaper and better to sync to a 2nd drive nightly. This gives you a local backup and redundancy, because you can swap to that drive if your first drive fails.
If you're doing RAID, you still need a local and offsite backup.
Cars are important status symbols in Germany, and people who can afford it often do exactly as described--buy a new or slightly used Audi/BMW/Mercedes, use it for a while, keep it in absolutely immaculate condition, and sell it on a couple of years later for close to what they paid for it. Those higher end cars often go through many owners until they no longer pass inspection and finally get exported. 'Ordinary' people are more likely to drive lower end cars, which seem to have a different life cycle, ending as student cars and getting crushed instead of exported. That's my impression anyway, could be wrong. My experience (see Opel reference above) is that those lower end cars can be had for pretty cheap and often in great shape. With a little care, you can keep them running for ages on the cheap.
