There's no perfect community physically either. Utopias usually devolve into cults. And even an honest and heartfelt kibbutz has to deal with local authorities and the shit show above them.

It's set theory, really. Every community is analagous to a set other than V. Since V is not Utopia, every community has poor conditions in some ancestral superset, which inevitably rain down on them.

The point is that most people don't want to simply go to some arbitrary small airport or tiny airstrip.

Again, thu2111's statement was:

> "Adding capacity to the sky is easy because it's empty. It's essentially just about scaling air traffic control systems."

ATC systems are not the only relevant part of infrastructure - airports are also important.

You write "you need far less infrastructure". Sure. But airports are also needed for scaling, even if small/tiny airstrips are included, and my point was that airports were omitted from the infrastructure cost.

You write "since there are much smaller ones ... tiny airstrips". That doesn't solve London's capacity problem, which is why a capacity question must include the cost of airports.

You ask "How many tracks would a train station need in order to accomodate the same number of passengers leaving from Heathrow?"

Heathrow has about 80 million passengers per year says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heathrow_Airport .

London Waterloo has about 94 million passengers per year says https://dataportal.orr.gov.uk/media/1668/estimates-of-statio... , with 24 platforms says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Waterloo_station . Looking at the aerial photo confirms there are 24 platforms, and it appears from Google Maps' satellite view that they are served by 7 rail lines, splitting into 24 platforms.

So, 7 tracks are enough to accommodate the same number of passengers leaving from Heathrow.

However, that answer doesn't make a whit of difference to my point, which is that if ATC is important cost facto to bring up when discussion air transit capacity, then airports are also an important cost factor.

Why gloves?

Hand washing seems like it would serve the same purpose and more effectively (I believe to properly sanitize the cotton gloves, you’d have to bleach them, and how do they protect you anyway? Viruses can’t get through your skin unless you have an cut).

The masks have been shown to be effective in reducing the spread of disease. It’s essentially “cough/sneeze into your elbow” but much more effective.

Thanks! I guess it could be summarised by saying that turns across the opposite flow have an increased variance of delay, which reduces the accuracy of the routing engine's prediction of how long the turn will take, and they also have an increased risk of accidents.

MySQL Cluster is an open-source distributed database that about half of the world's mobile network operators use to manage and route calls (it's the DB for home location registries). It is also an in-memory distributed database. And it is owned by Oracle. And if it crashes, mobile networks can go down - and with it, much of society....
Better control over ads and data. Technically also better for users since it's faster and more reliable than a website but being forced into it sucks.

Agree on both fronts. Reddit is way improved with an app, but the official app is trash. I prefer relay, but I know that there are many other quality apps out there that folks recommend. Feel free to comment with your favorite.
The old design works well on a browser (now old.reddit). I make it a point to never use the new social network themed reddit, or it’s chat (god, why?) or the default app due to the popup when you access reddit on a mobile browser. Apollo is much better anyhow (iOS only though iirc).
A 1.5T torso MRI costs me $260 US dollars in Mexico without insurance and without prescription, radiologist interpretation included. Salaries are higher in the US and I assume the bleeding edge tech is multiple millions of dollars. But even with those considerations, I don't think $20K is justified.

Sure, they don't have fast 3T machines, but still are useful for DIY cancer screening for the paranoid like me (for those that aren't familiar with imaging tech, MRIs don't use radiation).
I second this, it's excellent
„Avoid“ in this case means: increase weight, to make left turns less likely. And that could make a lot of sense, e.g. if you care about a more stress-free route.
You're not really building a robot, instead filling in the line between already automated sequences like the oven and chiller. Costco has a saucing mechanism, the biggest transformations are storing delivered inventory, managing dough proofing, topping pizzas accurately and self-cleaning. Cutting, boxing, delivering and taking orders is all straightforward.

I know what a schedule looks like, I used to make them for some of the busiest pizza shops out there. Shops next to universities and large business districts are the easiest to make the financial savings argument. The shops that benefit from a 24/7 model can make savings and increase throughput. Delivering on-time and without error can be massively improved. Making a cost reduction on the huge amounts of tiny shops out there is a great place to prove the tech financially, not where you'll see the most dramatic impact.

There is another automated pizza startup out there that has taken big frozen pizza factory tech and shrunk it down to retail size. It's not the right answer either. That tech makes too much sacrifice in accuracy, flexibility and quality for quantity.

There are more factors that go into this, maybe something better pursued elsewhere than discussed here.
That part is harder than it seems, good quality imaging of many of those locations is hard with a body coil. So the fact you can physically fit a leg in, say, doesn’t give you usable knee imaging. There also may be issues with the shape of the field if it is too tuned to cranial imaging, but the center should be pretty flat.

I’m not saying it couldn’t work with a bunch of extra RF engineering, but it’s not a given. For that matter some locations mist don’t have very good mr imaging regardless of setup.

This is a bit of a chicken and egg problem. Not sure the units referenced will shift it, bit a good part of the reason MR is not used for emergency workflows is related to siting issues and cost (hence workload, you can’t afford to have one sit idle easily ) as well as time and complexity of imaging.

If you solve or alleviate those issues it becomes more attractive. There is a fair bit of research around potential trial benefits if the contrast provided for some emergency procedures already.
Interesting. So as a founder there was nothing tedious that you weren't motivated for?
Depends on how you count: https://www.merriam-webster.com/help/faq-how-many-english-wo...

Also, there are several everyday situations in which the English language has fewer nuances than the Scandinavian. "Flere/mer" (discrete vs. continuous amounts, "Flere trær" vs. "mer melk") comes to mind. In English, that's just one word: "More trees" and "More milk".

You can do useful imaging in well under 5 minutes with modern MR, so it’s not like like this is fundamentally impractical, it the workflow would have to be tightened up.
More and more I think the whole ad-driven approach to sites is just unsustainable, as eventually they're incentivised to have dark patterns like this in order to drive up revenue and engagement.

> AWS rejected me since I failed to write prefect code to traverse a tree in level order.

I hate to break it to you, but Amazon doesn't reject a candidate because he bombed his coding challenge. I know people who received a job offer from Amazon for a developer position although they somewhat bombed their hard skills component. If you were rejected after passing the coding challenge and phone screening interview then odds are you actually bombed their personality and/or soft skills aspect of their interview process.

What a strange thing to be this user hostile. When stuff like this happens, people look for alternatives, and even if they don’t switch immediately, this really erodes any loyalty they have to your brand/service.

I think Facebook is experiencing a similar thing. A frustrating amount of my network has quit, which makes planning events more difficult (and is frustrating). The difference for Facebook is that they have enough money to just buy wherever people move to. Reddit doesn’t have that.

At this point I think a lot of people are actively looking for (and probably finding) replacements. I’m actually surprised Reddit still makes their public api so easily available without any keys. I wonder how long until somebody just scrapes the content and uses that to help get over the network problem and start a competitor.
I knew nothing about Waterfox or System1 before reading this submission. So I should not be too biased.

When I browse waterfox's website I see that it is built by an independent developer and that the two first selling points are "No Telemetry" and "Limited Data Collection".

System1 on the otherhand is an advertisement company whose name, I'm guessing, refers to Daniel Kahneman's two subsystems of the brain. The system 1 being the intuitive brain, which according to Kahneman is easy to fool.

Further reading about System1 confirms that they are not very much inclined to preserve people's privacy: E.g.: "Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although we will get your consent before sending you direct marketing communications."

So whatever the reason Waterfox was sold, I think it's understandable that users are disappointed. (Obviously harassing the author is not ok.) I think updating Waterfox's is the proper way to fix users' frustration.
Charlie Munger who is charitably trying to fix the US health care system along with Bezos and others described it as evil due to its waste, hidden fees and perverse incentives. He applauded the Californian and Singaporean healthcare models. Singapore spends 20% of the US healthcare spend and achieves better statistics.

He brought this up during a question session at the Daily Journal AGM while also repeatedly discussing the evolved prevalence of irrationality in Humans and how one has a moral duty to actively combat it.

He also said US happiness would not shift as long as the current welfare spend didn't increase or decrease more than 5% and the divisive political hatred was largely unproductive.
So I found this analogy a little shallow. The tl;dr is:

Some languages are dynamic (Lua being ht example here but obviously there are many others eg Python). The author then chooses to differentiate types of statically typed languages to those with generics (Rust being the example) and those that don't (Go being the example).

I'm not sure that's a useful distinction because all type systems have limitations and there are many orthogonal dimensions. A language can have (or not) generic types while separately being able to define enumerated types (or not), as just one example.

The interesting thing (at least to me) about Rust is that Rust goes beyond describing types to describing (at compile-time) ownership of data. There is a developer cost to this and a compile-time cost. Personally my view is:

- Compile time errors are cheaper to debug and fix than run-time errors. That's the whole point of having a type system: to catch errors at compile-time. Better that than a segfault. Rust is novel in that it eliminates a whole class of problems with data ownership, lifetimes and access. Not every problem of course.

- Memory-safety is just too important such that Rust will increasingly fill a niche because this is just too easy to get wrong in, say, C/C++.

You do have to jump through hoops go properly describe ownership semantics so the Rust compiler can satisfy safety constraints. Like a type system, there are limitations to this and you can intuitively come up with examples that you know are safe but are hard if not impossible to describe to Rust. Rust does get better with this as time goes on.

Whatever the case, I'm very bullish on Rust.
Browsing Reddit is so much easier in a mobile browser - at least for me. Allows me to open multiple pages in new tabs and browse them when convenient. Also makes sharing articles or pages to other places easier.

I've tried the apps - but nothing beats the browser for me. If they kill the mobile website, I'll just stop using Reddit.
On a desktop, auto redirecting to old.reddit.com, with all custom subreddit CSS disabled, chat turned off, RES enabled and uBlock Origin installed is the only usable way to browse Reddit.

For a website that I spend ungodly amounts of time in, I hate that it's this way.
...really depends on your background -- and, to some extent, who you work for.

but i do agree with you saying that web development has become hard. it has, indeed. we made it hard. i have seen beginners struggle with getting started, and i do struggle with it myself sometimes, even though i am no beginner.

the advantage that i, and experienced people, have over people just getting started is having witnessed the whole thing grow and change over time. it means it's easier for us to dismiss silly ideas because we have seen them over and over, and recognize good ideas. we became good at filtering the signal from the noise.

example: jsx (from reactjs) is a good idea. why? php has done before and it worked. it got many people into web development. now, some people rediscovered that embedding html in a programming language is not bad and applied it to modern javascript and modern web. for some of us it's deja vu.

i guess what i want to say is there's no need to despair. most people don't know the history of our field and continue to re-invent things over and over. i have recently been enjoying beginners tutorials much more than the so called experts talks. there are plenty of them on youtube. grab any of them and have fun!

Yelp would be second place then. They won't allow you to see pictures in their mobile site. Any attempt to view images will take you to the app store.

> in reality it will take Y weeks to implement and K weeks to refactor something else where Y + K is X

This is misleading, you should not be refactoring some other random code. You should be refactoring the code you are adding to/changing as part of the work. And it should be in proportion to the size of the change.
the first example is ok, everyone knows this is by design in go though. second one is grasping, what if you want different metadata on each property? it will end up looking similar, albeit more strongly typed than a string. its a little myopic rust task force feeling though
AFAIK the only unique feature of Rust is a borrow checker, right? (compared to other feature-full languages, i.e. not Go)

Regarding the main example of author, it's great that the progressive side of Go team won, so generics are coming in Go 2.
I am CEO of a swedish VC-backed startup, and i am currently off 2 days a week for parental leave for 6 months. Yes, i am a man.

There's truth in what you say, but it only describes the learning phase of Rust. Rust is quite challenging to learn and you spend a pretty long time in the uncomfortable place you describe. But one day, you end up internalizing the borrow checker's rules and you just don't think about it anymore and don't have any productivity penalty at all.
> That seems to imply that `overflow: hidden` could still be used with `contain: size` to "access" clipped content.

Ah, you're right. This changed at some point in the history of this property, and I was remembering the old version.

> And still I don't see how the optimizations they list are not available with `overflow`.

Here's one: Setting overflow to something other than visible doesn't cause the element to be a containing block for absolutely positioned children, so they can escape. https://jsbin.com/wesirup/edit?html,css,output

Here's another one: stacking contexts are weird https://jsbin.com/hepiqof/edit?html,css,output css-contain:paint puts sensible boundaries.

> BTW, I think it's unfortunate that the MDN article introduces `contain` as if it were a hint... ...when actually it modifies layout and display behavior, overriding other properties.

Agreed.
People aren't entitled to the continued work of waterfox devs but they are none the less entitled to honestly and respect and when they discover from third parties that a browser that was sold to them on the basis of privacy is now the property of an ad company it smacks of disrespect and dishonesty. They may not have PAID the developers any money by virtue of them not asking for any but they invested their trust by installing their software.

If you don't want people to rely on you, or get frustrated when they feel poorly done by it would be best not to put up ad copy on your own site suggesting that they do so.

Basically you have misidentified reasonable expectations as entitlement. I suggest you reassess.

Correct. You are not understanding the VC business model. It's only lighting money on fire if the fund as a whole fails to generate returns. The EXPECTATION is that many component investments will fail.

This is exactly the same model as YCombinator. Most of their individual investments fail and this isn't, nor should it be, news worthy.
