Thank you. I will say that we are relatively lucky in that we live inland, so we didn't have to worry about storm surge, in a newer suburb that had its power lines underground. We maybe lost 20 minutes of power during Wilma. I have family that lives in East Ft. Lauderdale, they were out of power for two weeks.
Do you have a source or article about that?

I would be interested to see what that means for places where you can't work from home (restaurants, doctor's offices, etc.)

I work from home full time and it's pretty incredible (despite being a little bit lonely.)

Pointing out and remaining aware of their very relevant past is not 'shitting on them' so .... no?

"We" (?) are either there or not. The half-measures of mending continue at the pace of their choosing.

A strong point in favor of continued skepticism.

> I personally think that all new housing should have a state "transit expansion" tax per unit of housing it introduces, to allow the system to keep up with growth.

Why not just tax the transit use directly? That way you remove the complexity of determining which new housing is reducing traffic (by letting people commute less) and which housing is increasing traffic by how much.

Dense urban living also requires most of your surroundings to be pavement.
How 'proactive' is it? My biggest problem with budgeting is thinking about my budget before I spend the money. I'm guessing that'll become more apparent with the mobile app, so just before I spend, I can check it.

Well you should, because setting the minimum wage at $21 would eliminate many people's ability to put food on the table.

> As much as its in-vogue thing to push for higher density living some of us dread living close to each other like the plague, for very well founded reasons that have been proven right over and over again.

It's "en vogue" if you want to call it that, only because it's highly undersupplied. And the existence of some dense living in one place doesn't prevent you from getting your preferred lifestyle where you want it. Do what you want with your property, but also let people live the way they want to live.
I'd love to see a city that had like, a super dense core, then a ring road with endless car parks around it or something like that. You drive in, from your country home, get the subway for 10 mins from the ring road to the CBD or your urban dwelling friends' place, sorted.

The UK often does something similar with "park and ride" bus schemes. To reduce congestion in inner cities, there are large car parks on key roads coming to the city, and usually you can park very cheaply or free and get a relatively cheap bus ticket into the centre. Often the buses also have privileged access so they can bypass queues where people chose to drive their cars all the way in instead.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it certainly does reduce congestion and all its negative consequences locally and in the short term, which is obviously a good thing. On the other hand, it sustains a culture where we drive longer distances in vehicles much larger and less efficient than we actually need in order to get to work, which is a significant cause of negative consequences over a wider area and a longer term.

I heard a suggestion long ago that the best thing to do about congestion in our cities might be nothing at all. The argument was loosely related to the points in the article here: the underlying problems are the need to make so many journeys in the first place and the inefficient modes of transport we use to make them. By allowing journeys into crowded cities to become ever more expensive, financially and otherwise, we would force better solutions in terms of how we plan our residential, business and recreational spaces. We could encourage areas with relatively dense populations where good public transport both within and between them is practical and efficient, where currently many of our cities here haven't really got critical mass to run a good 24/7 public transport system but are too big and often badly designed for historical reasons to support the volume of traffic that now wants to move at peak times. We could encourage the use of smaller, more efficient personal vehicles where public transport isn't sufficient. We could encourage the use of remote working for those whose jobs allow it. And in general, newer and more efficiently designed places to live would become relatively attractive compared to those with historical baggage that don't work as well practically.

I haven't seen anything like enough evidence and analysis to know whether that's really a good general solution, but it has always struck me as a reasonable enough proposition to be worth exploring.
It doesn't cost them much. They just mark up the feature when they sell the car because they can.

Just drove around Ireland in a rental Renault last week. It refused to let through the audio from Google Maps navigation unless music was playing. And not just any music e.g. Spotify, it had to be an MP3 from the built-in Apple player.

I had one album of songs loaded onto my phone. I listened to that god-forsaken thing for hours and hours each and every day, because navigating strange roads in a drive-on-the-left country is hard enough without trying to read the map at the same time.

I would have given quite a bit of money for a simple 3.5mm aux in connector.

This explanation shows a painfully shallow understanding of Bitcoin, if not an intentional bias. Bitcoin is capable of doing everything Brave would need, and they've been shown how to accomplish their goals multiple times by numerous disparate parties. I'm increasingly convinced Brave's leadership is opposed to the idea of self-determination, and is playing politics by making up these kinds of excuses.

There's a long history of using differential equation models to model high-level brain function (see also neural mass models and neural field models) but I think there are advantages to using discrete time approximations such as neural networks in an RL setting to investigate how the dynamics (e.g. attractor states, etc) map onto behavior.
I think this is essentially a tribal, not a logical issue. A nuanced view is not welcome on these kinds of issues, you're either with us or against us.

My issue with these libraries is the overheads.

- Steep learning curve for new team members
- More lines of code to do the same logic chains
- Locked into a libraries way of doing logic chains

You can get the same functionality without the library in less lines of code, in a clearer functional or OOP way.

I agree here. Language design needs some artistic freedom, and P6 is clearly exploring new areas in that regard.

I always felt Perl <6 was the papa of Ruby: optimizing for (a) programmer's happiness. Perl showed the way in so many ways, combined with the object model of SmallTalk we got Ruby.

Maybe P6 also has a some new ideas in that find their use in future languages. But we will only know after P6 gets used and loved and exposed to real world scenarios, what those "most valuable/copyable innovations" are...
Neuromancer is a seminal work of cyberpunk, but I'd say that it codified (or maybe just typifies) a lot of the tropes and themes of the genre that were to follow. I would actually go with Stand on Zanzibar as the one that truly predicts the social and political changes of technology and globalization that cyberpunk was to embody, though it's often more difficult to follow and darker than Neuromancer.
This article disproves itself. The two chief errors are as follows:

1) The article incorrectly discounts the value of time saved by avoiding congestion. The study the article cites actually estimates $7/hour for time saved on a commute, plus a whopping $22/hour for increasing reliability on a commute: http://faculty.bus.lsu.edu/papers/pap16_07.pdf. Both figures are critically important.

As to time savings, transit commutes are significantly longer: https://www.geotab.com/time-to-commute. 30% of public transit commutes in NYC are over 1 hour, compared to just 10% of car commutes. 28% of car commutes are under 30 minutes, versus just 6% of transit commutes. In Dallas, a place without the geographic constraints of NYC, 57% of car commutes are under 30 minutes. People in Dallas are accruing tremendous time value savings by driving as compared to people taking transit in NYC.

As to reliability--while in theory transit should be highly reliable, in practice it isn't. In DC, rail on-time performance is just 87%, meaning you'll be late once a week on average. NYC's performance is worse--it recently just broke 80% on-time performance: https://www.metro-magazine.com/news/photos/734837/nyc-subway....

All this has a practical ramification. The US has some of the fastest commutes in the OECD: https://www.oecd.org/els/family/LMF2_6_Time_spent_travelling.... 48 minutes per day for the US, versus 101 for heavily transit-dependent Korea.

2) The article acknowledges that from 1982 to present, we have been able to increase vehicle miles traveled per day by 60% without significantly increasing daily commutes. The article illogically assumes that there is no value to that increased mobility. But if there wasn't nobody would do it. People do it because they would rather have a bigger, newer house, in a place with better schools, than a shorter commute. The article not only fails to quantify the value of those additional amenities, it refuses to acknowledge they even exist.
> The former is a much broader claim and potentially includes anything independent of work as well, and is the red flag that should give any prospective employee pause.

I read it as the former, and it did give me pause, but my union said, that is to be expected and I pay them money to complain on my behalf, so ...

The thing you mention about potentially violating working hour regulations makes sense.

I should also note that I don't have a none-compete. When I quit I can immediately start at any competing consultancy or even client. It's not all bad

> Pdf support should also be removed from all browsers.

Why? Instead of opening a PDF like any other webpage, or image, or video, etc. Which is instant and doesn't require any mental focus shifting, I should instead download the PDF, and use a PDF viewer instead?

For something so ubiquitous it seems kind of silly. Browsers are for browsing and consuming content, if a specific type of content has widespread usage, I see no reason not to include it.
It was not, and I have since removed that portion of my remark.

This skull was found by a goat herder, albeit a paleontology enthusiast, while digging a goat pen:

At the time, an expedition co-led by Haile-Selassie was digging at Woranso-Mille, a field site in Ethiopia’s Afar region less than three miles from Miro Dora, where Bereino was herding. According to Haile-Selassie, Bereino had tried for years to get himself hired on Haile-Selassie’s team. He sometimes claimed that fossils emerged from eroded rock; when Haile-Selassie had visited in the past, he hadn’t see any.

On this particular day, Bereino was digging an addition to a temporary goat pen when he noticed a bone exposed in the sandstone surface. Bereino got in touch with a local government official, who agreed that it might be something Haile-Selassie would find interesting.

When the official called Haile-Selassie, he remained skeptical, replying that Bereino should mark where he found the fossil and walk it over to his camp. When Bereino and the official arrived, Haile-Selassie soon realized the magnitude of the find. Bereino had found a maxilla, or upper jawbone, belonging to an ancient hominin.

> The entire concept of a Brave Verified Publisher stinks.

I agree. As much as I dislike how much control Google has over the web. I think it would be much worse if Brave were to catch on.

As far as I can tell the Brave verification system seems to be completely centralized and proprietary. If Brave became the de facto monetization strategy on the web then pretty much everyone would have to use the Brave browser. Websites might even start blocking others browsers to prevent lost revenue.
LOVE THIS!

But I have a few suggestions.

1) have a variable time. 3 minutes is pretty tough (maybe 5 default?) Sometimes I can get 10, sometimes I can get 1. I know there's the skip, but this is more fun for learning than competing tbh (can't seem to quite get to 40. Maybe a few more goes). (I can hack this like another comment says with console lol)

2) do a recap! Including the ones you skip. That way when you skip you don't feel like you lose out on the learning. It's "I can't remember this, I'll get it next game" kinda thing. It would also be great to see the different possible solutions.

3) there's some cases I can't quite see what's wrong with. There's a few I spent the entire time looking for the difference. Anyone else hit this issue? Most of them were pretty simple too so I wouldn't have expected them to be written in a different way, especially since all parts of my solutions were in other problems that I got right. Maybe also have a "I got this right" button and you the devs can get new methods? (I wouldn't auto store these, but maybe give the points and manually check later. If you're interested in maintaining and continuing this project)

4) some help with formatting would be awesome. I'm writing the messiest latex of my life here simple because I can't use a tab.

But all in all I love this. Already sent to a bunch of friends and I'm going to have students use this.

Edit:

5) maybe make the total points in a game similar. My highest score I got a really large problem and then a small problem. Other runs in going very fast and don't even score 30 because they are all low points.

Edit 2:

Some of these that are low points are really time consuming. Getting to 40 seems like a luck based thing

Perhaps. I mean, it certainly seems to be working so far - anecdotally people are stuffing themselves into smaller and smaller apartments, flat shares, etc, naturally.

I'm biased so it's difficult for me to really conceptualise it. In that scenario, I would (and in fact have) just nope out entirely and move to the country because I can afford it.

It seems unfair to tell everyone who can't to just suck it up and live in a shoebox.

> I am so curious as to what a fully blind person would find most enjoyable about legos.

I'm not sure this directly answers your question. But I'm totally blind and my first ~7 years of education were spent at a school for blind and visually impaired kids. A whole lot of work goes into mobility training for children with disabilities, so for me it was how to hold and use a white cane effectively, how to navigate around unfamiliar environments, plan routes from A to B, etc.

I credit my first mobility teacher with giving me a life-long confidence in this area, primarily because he made super detailed lego models of the school buildings and used them to teach. I would have to carry out tasks such as moving my finger from a classroom in one building to the library in another via a valid, eficient route, and placing scraps of material in the right sections of the model based on my knowledge of the flooring materials used throughout the school.

It was so effective because it separated the learning of criticle skills from the pressure to perform. Getting up, walking around and demonstrating what you're learning was important, but it came with other responsibilities such as lookking after your safety. That could easily distract you from learning about acknowledging markers, developing a sense of direction and so on.

As a teenager- I decided I would wait till I was 22 before I tried Marijuana. All of my friends were heavy users- and while that made me feel like a bit of an outsider, I had come to the conclusion that it was better to wait and see how using turned out for them before I joined in.

That decision was profoundly informative. My high school friends personal and professional trajectories have been severely hobbled. I don’t believe that weed is the sole factor, but it certainly didn’t help them become more ambitious or contribute to their fortitude.

Internally the service mesh has interconnectivity communication needs. East / West.

You will still need a gateway / load balancer.
How frequently do you shave? Months from a blade seems pretty atypical.

I get about the same lifespan from a good safety/double edge blade as I used to from a Mach III blade, but with less irritation and lower cost (though my safety razor was unnecessarily expensive so it took a while to actually pay off). I would guess I get 5ish shaves out of a blade before it’s worth it to me to replace it.
