Yes, in the U.K.

This is awesome. How long did it take you and how familiar were you with the low-level details before you started?
This only applies to England, not the whole of the UK. For example in Scotland, Sunday trading is not restricted in any way whatsoever.
Some of these small cities have decent infrastructure, lots of charm, natural beauty, and cute city centers - for really cheap! I recently purchased a street of $30,000 homes that I’m turning into a creative community.
It has been more than a decade when I did this, but as late as 3 years ago, you could buy a 25lb rice for $10. Of course inflation and good economy and tarrifs have probably pushed up prices.

Rice

BJ’s 25-pound bag of rice is $9.89.

Costco’s 25-pound bag of rice is $9.49.

Sam’s Club offers a 20-pound bag for $7.23.

Winner: Pound for pound, Sam’s Club’s rice comes in cheapest at 36 cents per pound — even though it’s in a smaller bag!

Beans

BJ’s has 10 pounds of dry pintos for $6.42.

If you’re looking for canned, prepared beans, BJ’s has a pretty decent deal on an eight-pack of 16.5 ounce Bush’s — they’re $9.59 at my club.

Costco has a 10-pound package of black beans for $13.69 — it may have been out of pintos the day I went!

Its Bush’s eight-pack of 16.5-ounce cans is just $8.99, however.

Sam’s Club’s 10-pounder of pintos is $5.79. It carries the same package of Bush’s for $8.98.
I have a higher end Clevo (not rebranded) from late 2017 and I was never able to figure out why the keyboard would drop an input or two every couple dozen seconds. I ended up running various Linux installs as VMs which was fine just not what I was hoping for.
The Riemann Hypothesis (Part 1)
Even Seattle is a little Seattle. Its main problem is density. It's a very small city for how expensive it is to live there.

How about Berlusconi in Italy?
When situation is out of hand, people suffer a lot.

MasterCard and Visa have stopped there services in several countries, in-order to be complaint with American law (Laws which are specifically made, to hurt certain countries).

When a Democratic government is controlling private companies, when needed let alone your suggestion of believing in government companies.

In 1999, during Kargil War (between India and Pakistan), it's an unexpected war from Indian side. When Indian government asked help from American government for GPS, they have outright denied it. When it's needed the most.

As a country we had our fair-share of setbacks from several countries, I think we need to learn from our mistakes and try to be independent.

In the need of the hour, every country/state/person has it's own preferences.
I suppose one interesting question is if some of these cities that are highly attractive to remote workers will gather up a large enough concentration of them that they will start to get hired locally there. (Or perhaps this is even happening already?) If I was in charge of economic development in one of those areas I'd certainly want to look into what might encourage that local→remote→local transition to take place.
Especially after they already bent over backwards to give the Chinese government unfettered access to Chinese users' iCloud data.

I Hacked the Block and What They Did About It
It might be, but currently doesn't appear that's the motivation here, not if they're also attacking twitch & WoW.
I don't understand the goal though. What to gain ? Training for another big target ?
I second this. I found it easier to spin up servers on other services and run big install scripts than to try do decode Amazon's naming/acronym hell. The requirement to connect invented names to computational activity is big overhead.

I guess each AWS service get's named it's own thing as it is developed and those names just stick forever. it is maddening. Reading the docs outloud often sounds like a weird technical Dr. Seuss. I've never looked at Azure, but since Microsoft has been the king of making up their own names for things, I expect it to be just as bad.

I wonder how this naming issue comes about. If AWS devs and early adopters are doing this as their first big rodeo, then everything might seem new and they get to invent names - as if the computing were new. But after these devs and early adopters work on 2 or 5 of these kinds of projects in different environments they will see that special naming is a mistake, because it makes it incredibly hard to communicate about the same computing tasks using dozens of different names and acronyms.

I know computing requires continuous learning, but specialized naming tends to obfuscate higher order abstractions. And if you grok the higher order abstraction and want to dev a system, then the naming and minute computing differences make development on any given service harder than it needs to be because it requires learning specialized lingo. As human beings we need to get much better at getting to standard names and conventions faster. It will speed all our development.
I would say that cheating in school isn’t a problem, but it unfortunately devalues other people’s work. Ideally we would live in a world in which no class was graded on a curve and in which going to college wouldn’t be considered by employers at all. But I guess we don’t. But cheating isn’t the root problem, it’s the sports like mentality we have about education (valedictorian, 3rd in your class, etc etc) that’s the problem.

At some point cheating will catch up to you, I hope. But some people manage to go a very long way by being total cheats.
Oh it’s totally worth it, and said as much. I meant it’s crazy (hard) to imagine oneself needing a life-saver on a regular basis.
Living in Berlin for almost a decade, bought a house here and love to live here because costs of living is far less than compared to my original city (50k people, even the house market is expensive over there).

No car needed, plenty of services for family and kids. My original city doesn't offer them at all and you need to own a car if you want to go somewhere.

Large Underwater Observatory Disappears Without a Trace
I'll just say this and take my downvotes[1]: It's impossible to read a piece like this in the modern world, about two white middle class families leaving large, coastal multiethnic metropolises for suburban homes in (what a quick google tells me is) the sixth whitest state in the union, without a racial lens.

These workers "fleeing" big cities simply don't seem likely to be a uniformly sampled demographic, and for the article not to at least nod to that seems like pretty questionable journalism.

But maybe that's just a step too woke.

[1] Edit: heh, two minutes before the first accusation of racism. Pretty much what I expected.
GMO debate will be settled by development of crops that will be order of magnitude better than existing varieties. It is easy to dismiss the current GMOs that are a bit cheaper, but something like non-toxic cassava, perennial wheat, or twice more productive variety of any staple crop used in poor countries will get widespread use despite all protestations of anti-gmo people because it will save lives in an apparent way. And after some time people in rich countries too would have to accept that gmos are useful.

That's a different opinion than the one being expressed and therefore the I'm discussing. The argument I'm talking about is the one which claims, "There is no advantage to a two-speed transmission". You seem to be saying that the advantages of such a transmission are bad reasons to build it.

But those are different arguments.
less pretentiousness, more sincerity. papers have become the tool for claiming victory and fundings. The authors don't sincerely want you to understand them. They don't want you to understand how moon landing works, they only want you to see they lifted the flag on the moon.

I think papers should have more intuitions and visuals. Both data and programs should be included, in addition to static contents.

I once read a great article on paper being obsolete. I can't agree more.

"It was a shame that in mathematics it’s been a tradition for hundreds of years to make papers as formal and austere as possible, often suppressing the very visual aids that mathematicians use to make their discoveries."

Not going to answer OP's question that well but I just got a Lenovo V330 because I wanted a cheap and good AMD laptop and it's a good choice for something that works out of the box. Other laptops with Ryzen CPU's may require special kernel parameters to boot but this was painless.
To be fair, $2 probably goes a little farther in Africa than the US or Europe.

$2 a day in the US is impossibly little. I'm almost sure that food stamps would equate to more by itself.
I didn't say I based my words on only those opinions of my colleagues - as I mentioned, I've spent a lot of time in India, and travelled through a fair bit of it. I also volunteered at various charity projects in Mumbai, Pune and Delhi, so I've seen first hand how desperate things can get.

Yes, India is a huge and diverse country, yet in every area I went to there was a significant segment of the population living in truely horrifying conditions.
Super 100% wrong! That’s impressive for a clearly factual statement. It is indisputable that the Model 3 does not have the same power restriction under load, and that is primarily attributed to the new battery chemistry.

That is not to say that the Model 3 is entirely unlimited in its power delivery. But a 2018 S/X will go into a low-power mode before you can even finish one lap on the ring and the Model 3 will not. The stock Model 3 Performance brakes will overheat however.

I’ve watched several videos where Bjørn Nyland pushes his 3P to top speed for sustain periods and does not see any power limiting. He shows the same driving on a Model S which gets power limited.

A cursory Google search finds several Tesla forum threads showing people with 3P not being power limited on the track.

I am also a Model 3 owner, and I’ve never seen it reduce power, but I’ve never driven it faster than 110mph for a few minutes, and don’t take it on the track.

The main issue I’ve read about 3P is that the brakes overheat. It needs carbon ceramics on the track.

It is universally acknowledged that power delivery on the Model 3 is better than S/X.
AsyncAPI vs. OpenAPI: What's the Difference?

Of course those are all important questions, but you are clearly presenting a false dichotomy.

How about investigating the corruption that let him off the hook and shunning those with power and influence who minimized Epstein’s crimes by choosing to associate with him socially and professionally after the extent of his immorality was common knowledge? Can we not walk and chew gum at the same time?

None of these people would have acted similarly if the person in question was someone like OJ Simpson or Bernie Madoff who had been disgraced for more ‘conventional’ reasons. So why did Epstein get a pass? Is it because many of these people secretly believe that what he did wasn’t so bad? That is, unfortunately, what their behavior appears to communicate.
Honestly, that’s sounding pretty close to just being a town.

I’ve lived in a few suburbs. One of them was blessed to have a dollar store within walking distance (you’d need to cross a busy highway, but you could walk). None of them so much as had sidewalks, though. Grocery stores were from 15-25 minutes by car. Entertainment (theaters, pools) were around that distance if not more.

Suburbs vary from place to place, just as towns and cities do. Some offer conveniences that make it hard to imagine living anywhere else. Some make it impossible to do absolutely anything without a car and a few gallons of gas.

This certainly looks bad for Ito, who apparently went to great lengths to conceal the relationship with a known abuser. We should expect better.

But I think we should take care not to transfer blame to everyone who ever ate dinner with Epstein, went to his house, or took his phone call. Especially someone like Bill Gates, who deserves the benefit of the doubt in my opinion.

Once, I was on a frisbee team with a man who is now serving 4 consecutive lifetime sentences for child abuse. The great quandary of abusers is their ability to seem upstanding and normal. Epstein fooled a lot of people and it doesn’t mean they were complicit in or suspicious of his sins.
I'd love to see a survey on what actually went into the decision making progress. I know for myself larger city equaled more desirable, but there also is a correlation between size and affordability, especially if a short commute is desired.

> GP is just highlighting that India's ruling party made this unnecessarily political. I'm not sure why it's being downvoted when it's factually accurate and is interesting in the context of the discussion.

Could you share some citations to justify your comment? There is no evidence out there that Chandrayaan was politicized by the Government. ISRO is funded by the Government and Department of Space directly comes under the PM. So, there is bound to be some Government/Minister presence.
Commuters that are coming into NYC itself from the suburbs are already paying distance pricing for the MetroNorth and LIRR which break up the routes into zones and your fare is based on how many zones you transition.

Also don't forget trains physically still cost money to maintain. The longer distance they travel, they sooner they'll need to undergo maintenance. As one example, the wheels they roll on do need to be taken off, inspected, repaired/replaced on fixed schedules.

The longer they travel with less people moved, the more expensive it is.

Another case is that the fuel or electricity they use isn't free either.
And recent grads a place that is affordable. All my friends from Los Angeles have moved to Texas and Florida (some are families) and they are all progressive like most in Californian major cities. So they will make those states more blue. Which goes against what youre saying.

I fail to see why families from big cities would be red. Most in big cities are progressive, even families. I havent seen data that would suggest otherwise
Often it's more about laziness and motivation than lack of skill. A high percentage of college students can write a mediocre or above 10 page paper but also just really don't want to. They'd rather do something fun and pay someone if it doesn't cost them much. Answering (typically) multiple choice questions and short-response questions is a totally different thing.

I never used such a service, but I do see the appeal. I did kind of similar things, in my own way, to reduce time spent on courses I didn't like (skipping class, skipping or skimming material, exam cramming). Not saying it's a good thing, and it probably hurts one's already poor work ethic, but life is short and I don't really blame them that much.
Preet Bharara recently interviewed a former CIA acting director on his podcast. He asked (paraphrased), “If a regular person was able to see the kind of classified gadgets you’re working with now, would they say ‘oh, sure, that’s something like what I see in movies’ or would they be blown away?”

The immediate response was “They’d be blown away.” Which piques my curiosity of course. Then again...that statement could just be a psyop. Twisty little passages.

Some other recent thread here talks about how the Hubble Space Telescope was created from leftover CIA spy satellite gear. Read a bunch of near-future sci-fi and some of those ideas are bound to be hits.
It's a chicken and egg problem though.

When people are uneducated and barely feeding themselves tyranny and corruption flourish.

Are we talking about zero days here or obvious vulnerabilities known for decades but nothing gets done because there’s no cost associated with leaving it insecure? I strongly suspect the latter.
I had an XPS 13 DE 9360. Nicest laptop I've ever used at first anyway. Fast (enough), thin, light, pre-installed gnu/linux, all day battery life, beautiful 3k screen. But something really annoyed me. After awhile the rubber strips on the bottom of it started to peel off and the glue leaked onto the table, desk or my lap! There was also an issue with firmware updates where the screen would black out after a firmware update. This happened a few times and was eventually why I quit using it. I didn't want to play roulette on my main machine so I had to find something different. Sad because that was one amazing laptop.

Is this passage from the article not damning?

> According to Swenson, Ito had informed Cohen that Epstein “never goes into any room without his two female ‘assistants,’ ” whom he wanted to bring to the meeting at the Media Lab. Swenson objected to this, too, and it was decided that the assistants would be allowed to accompany Epstein but would wait outside the meeting room.

> On the day of the visit, Swenson’s distress deepened at the sight of the young women. “They were models. Eastern European, definitely,” she told me. Among the lab’s staff, she said, “all of us women made it a point to be super nice to them. We literally had a conversation about how, on the off chance that they’re not there by choice, we could maybe help them.”

They continued to work with someone whom they suspected of trafficking women. Not years prior, before his trial — right there in their own office. That’s beyond the pale. That’s what “tainted” means.

Yes, Epstein’s plea deal for 13 months of prison time with offsite work privileges was a monstrous miscarriage of justice. That’s also an issue we need to fix. But let’s not pretend that this is the first we’re learning of the justice system’s heavy tilt in favor of rich people. There is no way Ito and Gates were unaware of how someone’s wealth and connections could allow them to escape justice.
