>But does Google Maps use real time traffic data to calculate the most optimal route in the same way as Waze does?

Anecdotally in the UK I see Google Maps routing based on live traffic data. I also often get a reassurance notification "you are on the fastest route despite traffic" (and it distinguishes between "traffic" and "usual traffic"). Occasionally I'll also get a recommendation pushed to switch to another route which is faster
> Similar if we talk about railway budget, the US government spend today about 0.00156% in proportion to the budget of 1950.

Confirm that it's 1/640th of the 1950 budget?! That seems insane. (Is it perhaps 1/6.4 [0.156% or 0.00156x] instead?)

The Federal Railroad Administration alone has a budget over $1.5BB. Does that mean we were spending the equivalent of almost a trillion of today's dollars a year (~25% of receipts) on rail in 1950? That seems several orders of magnitude wrong.
Obviously, adding read-only data in the tree and to save mutable data in the traversal state can be amortized if we have many ongoing traversals rather than one. For example, in a massively parallel GPU computation running an arbitrary number of tree searches simultaneously in a fixed memory amount.
> Manjaro is strictly worse when it comes to the quality of software.

I haven't made this experience with Manjaro on several systems.

Setting up Arch isn't just about partitioning and adding a user. That's trivial stuff that I'm simply not talking about. Though somehow Arch's documentation has become significantly worse for complete newbies ever since they got rid of the new user's guide and you end up having to read a bunch of utterly irrelevant stuff in order to find the magic incantation that actually works (and no, it doesn't actually explain anywhere why it works the way it does).

I've had to do tons of messing around with settings just to get Arch working properly on different systems. I had problems with resume working properly on my Thinkpad for forever, and less decently supported systems had more issues. I'm just not that kind of user anymore and I don't want to be my own tech support. I have enough to juggle in userland pertaining to my actual job that I simply do. not. want. anything going wrong that I'll have to dig into some obscure config file somewhere to fix.

Manjaro gives me most of the benefits of Arch without having to waste my time with setting up an Arch system just perfectly so it simply works. I have access to the AUR and I have reasonably up-to-date packages (and I do run unstable on my laptop, which usually works fine).

Some people just want to use Linux, not live and breath Linux, and this constant resistance against users who don't want to wade knee-deep in config bullshit is completely infuriating.

You run Arch. Successfully. Congratulations. You're better than everybody else.
You don't often hear Orifice though
>What's preventing local/state government from doing so?

The fact that actions have consequences and the consequences for those actions fall somewhere on the spectrum between needing to find a new job after the next election cycle and getting tarred and feathered.

We live in a democracy. The people get what they want even if it's not what the "experts" like and/or non-optimal. People don't to deal with draconian state micromanagement of their route choice.
The US has a military presence in 150 countries (that we know about). There isn't much that the US isn't involved in, especially when it involves a military superpower on the other side.
> I am not sure if the space treaties actually cover the case where multiple nations are involved. I wouldn't bet on it.

I would.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Liability_Convention

> States (countries) bear international responsibility for all space objects that are launched within their territory. This means that regardless of who launches the space object, if it was launched from State A's territory, or from State A's facility, or if State A caused the launch to happen, then State A is fully liable for damages that result from that space object.
Coming Soon to a Battlefield: Robots That Can Kill
Anecdotal, but there have been several cases where I've been using Google Maps and it pops up a message saying that it found a faster route. All of these cases have been because of accidents or extreme traffic, and all have been on the same route (94 East from Eau Claire, WI to Madison, WI). As far as I know, Google Maps doesn't route traffic through side streets to save seconds like Waze does - it seems to re-route you when there are major delays.
Why Business Owners Should Improve Customer Relationships
It says he's still winning to this day. Makes me wonder if his current model is using Machine Learning (ML) techniques? Which leads me to wonder how successful ML techniques are with data rich sources of gambling and whether there are any syndicates I can join to invest in and let them do all the heavy lifting... I'm sure there's a whole world out there I am yet to discover.
Do you have urls for any sources? sounds like an interesting read.
> Nobody seems to discuss how we collectively work towards being happy with traveling less and eating more substainably.

Because of pragmatism. Ask someone to make a significant sacrifice and they'll tell you to piss off. Hell, I'll use myself as an example: try telling my SO and I that we can no longer fly a few times a year to the alps for winter sports and I'll just be rude and laugh at you. Sure, people were happy before they had good meat available, they were also happy before polio was eradicated but now we're happier and nobody's going to sacrifice that.

It's suggestions like these "oh, people should give up a lot of things that they enjoy" that makes me look pretty unfavorably towards modern environmentalism: it's not going to happen, we need pragmatic solutions that will actually work in the real world. This is where environmental engineering comes in but God forbid someone suggest us actually making intended changes to our climate to fix problems to the current breed of environmentalists without them foaming at the mouth. Thankfully I rest easy in knowing that eventually this will be an inevitability, as soon as it becomes obvious that the idealistic path is a dead-end.
> The per capita gross world product was approximately ~$18k/yr in 2017. No matter how efficiently you redistribute resources, you cannot exceed this number.

This assumes distribution can have no positive impact on output, which is certainly not an established fact.

Lack of regulation of itself. Maybe the problem is that government shouldn't have people's retirement funds to manage.
"I met this girl on the internet, she said she'd do anything for 1.25 RMB. Anything? Really?! ...So I got her to post tweets supporting the Chinese government."
The comment I've responded to mentions Arch, not FreeBSD. I've replied to them about Arch, not FreeBSD.
(On my phone walking so very quick and dirty post) purely functional DSs in general will cost you an extra O(log n) cause of their underlying tree representation for immutability (immutability achieved by copying paths in the tree to retain old data). Also some DSs are very difficult to express in a purely functional way.
There's definitely a balance to be struck (you can't just build lane after lane after lane and expect linear improvement) but yeah, not adding capacity because the capacity will be used is just asinine. It's just something about personally owned vehicles that makes people dumb. Most of those same people wouldn't complain about people using the new capacity if the discussion was about extending bus routes or making subways run more frequently.

Who's being convinced by statements like that?
From the author of a Forbes article on the same subject:

https://twitter.com/Astro_Jonny/status/1168859502067834881

"Just to quickly clarify again @FastCompany et al, ESA did NOT ask SpaceX to move. SpaceX simply said they would not move their #Starlink satellite, necessitating an evasive manoeuvre from #Aeolus."

https://twitter.com/Astro_Jonny/status/1168833920118480898

"I'm not sure on the exact timeline but yes, ESA was alerted to the event five days before. Three days prior, they noted a raised collision risk. One day before, they decided to move. SpaceX sent one email saying they had no plans to manoeuvre."
CIA and other countries equivalent agencies are 100% involved. You’d not be a competent spy if your weren’t.

Just like China likely has spies abroad fueling the counter protests.
Full report:

https://www.aspi.org.au/report/tweeting-through-great-firewa...

>Researchers from the International Cyber Policy Centre (ICPC) at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute have conducted a preliminary analysis of the dataset. Our research indicates that the information operation targeted at the protests appears to have been a relatively small and hastily assembled operation rather than a sophisticated information campaign planned well in advance.

>However, our research has also found that the accounts included in the information operation identified by Twitter were active in earlier information operations targeting political opponents of the Chinese government, including an exiled billionaire, a human rights lawyer, a bookseller and protestors in mainland China. The earliest of these operations date back to April 2017.

>This is significant because—if the attribution to state-backed actors made by Twitter is correct—it indicates that actors linked to the Chinese government may have been running covert information operations on Western social media platforms for at least two years.

>Research limitations: ICPC does not have access to the relevant data to independently verify that these accounts are linked to the Chinese government; this research proceeds on the assumption that Twitter’s attribution is correct. It is also important to note that Twitter has not released the methodology by which this dataset was selected, and the dataset may not represent a complete picture of Chinese state-linked information operations on Twitter.

Chinese foreign propaganda has been typically bad, but it's a little wild it's still this bad especially after two years. Almost makes attribution harder to believe.
There isn't going to be some sort of general rule on this. Some pension funds deal entirely in government issue bonds that won't be harmed. Other funds are operated similar to how Warren Buffet operates; the pension fund literally buys major infrastructure.

So you certainly can't blanket statement this one. Furthermore, every major country passed in exactly the same year(2014) that pension funds can now cut benefits to stay solvent. This was done by Obama, Harper in Canada, and really no political partisanship at all; right wing and left wing did this across the high income countries. http://www.pensionrights.org/issues/legislation/summary-pens...

So fundamentally the author is wrong. Pension funds arent going to be destroyed. The pensioners are the ones who will be taking cuts. Grandpa is going back to work; even though he still has a pension.

No, you have indeed constructed a strawman argument based on prejudiced fears of third world 'population explosion' and poor data. Let me put aside the fact that third world peoples are not sitting around waiting for such explosions to occur and are proactive about and invested in our own resources and prospects. Let me put aside the comparison of the poorest, say, Indians (the strata where such an 'explosion' is likeliest to occur due to a host of social reasons) vs the richest, say, Americans. Even putting all that aside: the per capita consumption of an American is 10 times that of an Indian based on latest data [1].

[1]: https://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&...

And this does not at all take into account that so, so much of American consumer goods are manufactured abroad and does not factor into this calculation.

Really, please interrogate the kind of prejudice that leads to projections of the kind you have accepted, and the kind of prejudice that then uses it as a rationalization for not course-correcting own behavior.
I don't go around macOS stories with "macOS sucks, this is why I use Linux". It's off-topic noise at best, and just pointless caring about what systems other people run at worst.

So yeah, -1 from me to all of those posts, and also the Arch Linux one (I'm typing this from an Arch machine). I don't think the reasons are that obscure: it's off-topic and doesn't contribute. Your post at least has some depth to it, but on the other hand, it's the same discussion ... every time.
At any given month they may only have $100 to spare, so at that point it doesn't matter if spending more upfront saves money in the long term because they may not have the amount needed for the upfront cost.
PragerU isn't obvious to most people that's what's insidious about it. It's a fake "university" for people who are too ignorant or low intelligent to know what a real one looks like. Compare PragerU to "A People's History of the United States" book. Both are highly politically biased, both oppose "mainstream" education, but one is intellectually much better than the other. Discerning which requires higher level thinking many people lack.

I've seen something similar in some extremist bot accounts, where the tweet picture and text has a titillating and sexual tone (like catfishing) but includes an unrelated political hashtag at the end.

They didn't "refuse" since they were never asked to move their satellite. They chose not to, possibly because the risk did not meet their threshold for avoidance.

Are there many services that don't ask for this broad scope? I see it often and understand it comes from lawyers studying the business process and writing a contract that enables it within the Kafkaesque copyright laws. They ask for universal copying right because if you spin up a new VM you don't want to have to ask if every message you send to it has permission to be copied to this new instance. And they want it to be irrevocable because you store backups for three years and don't want to have to be constantly scrubbing them for deleted accounts.
FreeBSD is for people that like to thinker with OS. Same as Arch on Linux side. I'm using Ubuntu for pretty much everything for over 10 years now and everything is just easy and fast. My current installation of Ubuntu Mate has been done 3.5 years ago as 16.04. Since then I went trough 4 distro upgrades, 16.04 > 16.10 > 17.04 > 17.10 > 18.04LTS and since in 18.04 they introduced snaps I decided to stick to LTS releases with my apps like JetBrains apps installed via snaps for latest updates. Somewhere in that update cycle I upgraded my machine and just pulled SSD from old machine and plugged it in into the new one and it just worked. The system is also being backed up into Synology NAS so when in meantime I bought small laptop for travel I basically "restored" my main PC into that laptop so I didn't have to manually setup everything. It's pretty simple. Unfortunately it doesn't move applications like TimeMachine does, only the settings so I had to install apps like SublimeText myself but settings was already in there.

If your workflow can be moved outside of MacOS ecosystem then it's worth to checkout Linux especially Ubuntu (and all it flavors) as an alternative.

Money laundering? Boastful lies? The truth? Probably never know for sure. Fun read anyway, wouldn't get carried away mind.
Well, I was previously able to recreate the "path" of how I solved the problem. Recently it has been becoming difficult for me to recreate that path; it is as if like magic that I get solution with me being disconnected from the problem solving process. The feeling is like I become zombie with no awareness when solving a problem and something inside me takes over and does the work. And when the work is done I regain my humanness as if I become conscious again and there is in front of me the solution to the problem, and then I have to start thinking how did I get to this solution?
The Geography of Risk
To be honest: I was waiting for this kind of thread for years. I've literally tried to absorbe everything you've put together. I will definitely have a look at "How to read a book".

Now some words about my reading habbits:

- Most of time I read non-fiction books. I read newspapers, interesting articles I've found on the Web and some books.

- I use an E-Reader to read my stuff (for many years I've used a Kindle 3rd Generation which got replaced by a Pocket InkBook 3 [1])

- Everything that I find interesting gets highlighted on the E-Reader. If I'm reading a real (paper) book I'll use my notebook and make some notes in a bullet journal style. [2])

- To organize my highlights I use TiddlyWiki [3] and some really nice plugin [4] to organize books.

Regarding Tiddlywiki: I think this is one of the most underrated
tool out there since it can be used for everything. You can filter and tag your content (book highlights, ideas etc.) in a way that fits your needs.

Cheers,

Cyneox

Comparing macOS and FreeBSD (for practical reasons) is a bit of a stretch (despite sharing the Unix base). I assume that's what the downvotes are for.

Isn't one of macOS's main selling features its sleek UX?
If you're all about the command line and don't care much about the UI, you probably wouldn't be using it in the first place.

And in terms of Linux, I think it's more of a personal preference to be honest. Personally I go the other way.
People who love macOS will continue using it regardless of what Linux (or even FreeBSD) is like.

Show HN: Sprynkl – The simplest feedback app for everyone
Hi all,

We built a free app ( https://www.sprynkl.io/ ) to help working professionals give and receive feedback from their team in a few seconds so that they improve their skills and eventually build a better teamwork.

What does Sprynkl do:

Proactively get feedback on what you are good at and what you should improve
Openly or anonymously give feedback to others using our pre-made templates or create your own ones
Get pro tips on how to develop on specific skills
Thanks your teammates for their excellent work or support

We are still in beta, and, of course, we are self-taught, so there are probably lots of unfound bugs. We are looking for comments/suggestions on what we can improve or tweak to make it better!
We hope you give Sprynkl a try ;)
