Children of certain ages are challenging, I'll grant you, but the rest of this is just dripping with privilege.

Go visit any of the rougher parts of a big city, and you'll find plenty of low income people transporting groceries and commuting on bike (You can find them in small towns, too). Look for people with plastic shopping bags slung from the bars. It's not just viable, but absolutely essential.

And it's not limited to just people with low income, either. A rack and a set of nice panniers can easily carry a week's worth of groceries for a single person, including bulky items like milk.

CoronaState: A Central Global Covid-19 Location Data Hub and Map
This group, called The CoronaState Project, is attempting to create a map of all global coronavirus case locations, as locally as possible. They've developed an awesome map, and have released it and they are now reaching out to the public and developers and enthusiasts and to help develop the project.

Their data and all their stuff is explained in their repo:

I believe the federal government actually sort of does do this currently, although it's more just that they pay you to not farm the land rather than actively repair it. This was a few years ago, some folks in Missouri told me that they were getting some income this way. I'm ~80% sure it was a federal and not a state or local program, and no idea what it is called.

I'm not so sure. I think the privacy-functionality trade-off is understood and expected by the users, it woul be used by very few people if it were extremely spartan.

(But this instance, the favicon service, is not a good privacy-functionality trade-off)
Do you think you're missing something by not being "part" of the environment while driving? As in, you drive through instead of "drive in"? I only drive with the windows down because I want to be a part of the landscape I'm in. I think a motorcycle is the ultimate crystallization of that.

On the hand, if it convincs you make trips you otherwise wouldn't have made, I think it's a win. I love Road tripping because it forces you to deal with stuff, especially if you're doing it in less developed countries. Probably the most fun I've ever had is driving long distance in Africa. You really never know what's going to happen next!

I enjoy Pokemon Go....but I expect some more, strategy and gameplay from something associated with Catan.

Pogo and just collecting Pokemon makes sense but I see little use for that for a game more about strategy.

Worse with Pogo of the rules and what is happening behind the scenes is often a mystery, that would be really frustrating in a Catan like game IMO.

I wouldn't bet on it. The safety record of auto engines converted for aircraft use (generally in homebuilt/experimentals) is not very favorable. Auto engines are designed to cruise at 10% power or less with brief excursions to higher power. An aircraft engine runs at 75% power for hours continuously, and even with modifications, auto engines historically have not delivered the reliability of the essentially 1930s designs of aircraft piston engines.

It's been a few years since I last looked into it, but my recollection is that in Europe (or at least the UK) it is normal to balance the trailer to put less tongue weight on the hitch, which means you can tow a heavier trailer but have less stability at highway speeds (which they compensate for by having lower speed limits when towing). In the US typical trailer loading guidelines recommend putting more of the weight forward of the axle(s) for more tongue weight, which usually means the trailer will not sway even at speeds in excess of what the trailer tires are rated for.

In practice, a vehicle's safe towing capacity is usually not limited by the engine or drivetrain, but by the ability to stop the trailer safely. Brakes on the trailer itself help, but the big problem is that hard braking shifts more weight forward onto the hitch (trailer dive) and tends to lever the front wheels of the tow vehicle up, reducing their braking ability and in extreme cases eliminates your ability to steer while braking. A weight-distributing hitch counteracts this, but in the US light passenger vehicles are seldom rated for use with such a hitch. Towing at a lower speed also somewhat reduces this danger, by quadratically reducing the kinetic energy you need to shed in an emergency stop.

Some would, yes. But the land value would be high enough that most people trying to enter the market wouldn't be able to afford the costs of buying property. Under this approach, the government can sell property at a subsidized rate to new buyers once it reverts back to them.

I think the government also wants to allow property owners to be able to profit somewhat from the growth of the value of their property, since 80% of the population owns property in Singapore.

Now, I agree that these 2 goals are in conflict, and tax policy would be the better fix. But I guess their approach does at least fix the problem somewhat.
Unboxing Spot, the $75,000 Robot Dog from Boston Dynamics
Sad to see Flash going out like this. It was such an easy tool for any creative to put to use and then share the result.
You can't directly compare biological and artificial neurons like that. Biological ones have synapses that function in a much more complex way than weights in a neural net, but are also much slower and noisy.

On the other hand, we don't have a robot body to house the model in. Without embodiment it won't be able to learn to interact with the world like us.

Thirdly, in humans, specific priors have been baked in the brain by evolution (data symmetries and efficiencies). We don't know all of them yet and how to replicate. We do rely on translation invariance for images and time shift invariance for sequences, and permutation invariance for some set and graph neural nets, but they are not all the priors the brain makes use of.

> Mujahedeen Secrets (first release: 2007), Al-Queda’s own encrypted messaging software. Those developers aren’t going to respond to a US court order.

Even with that, you are now forcing the terrorists to roll their own encryption. The likelihood of finding an exploit in Mujahadeen Secrets is likely much higher than finding an exploit in Apple Messenger or WhatsApp or something by djb or Moxie, etc. In addition, Mujahadeen is likely having to be side loaded - you won't find it in the App Store. This gives a chance to try to hack a single storage location to have a trojan horse version spread through their network. Finally, it affects recruiting. Basically only someone already comitted will go to the trouble of having Mujahadeen Secrets on their device, whereas a lot more people could be expected to have a common end-to-end messenger on their device. So overall, thinking from a purely law enforcement, anti-terrorist perspective, it would still be better for them to not have e2e in widely used apps, even if the terrorists tried to develop their own app.
Pythagorean Triple
Comparing Motor-Vehicle Crash Risk of EU and US Vehicles [pdf]
No, but I didn't include the cost of the tape robot either. I'm seeing prices like $10k for a 6U/80 tape robot, and $10k per 80 drives is more than enough for a very fast JBOD chassis. You could more than double the budget of a Backblaze pod, and upgrading to an EPYC and 100 gigabit ethernet would only take about a thousand dollars.

Also even in some ridiculous circumstance where your tape robots were free and you have to pay $7.2k per JBOD chassis, that still only bumps the cost to $36/TB and the overall analysis doesn't change much.

$26/TB was an overestimate anyway. Especially when you can get 5400RPM drives for $18/TB, and it only hurts your speed by about 20%.
I disagree. Godot, Unity and Construct are all examples of tools that are both easier to learn and less costly in 2020 than Flash authoring tools were in 2006. They export HTML5/WebGL games that can be hosted for free in a few clicks on itch.io.

I think the prospects for an 11 year old hacker creating their first game with unity or godot are much higher than they were in 2006 with flash.

Look at the submissions for any itch.io 48 hour game jam and see how many of them are playable on the web, and created by people with very little experience. These prospects have moved to places where they're more accessible, not disappeared.

Here's an example where 1158 web entries were created in a weekend.

Different GM truck: that's their conventional (non-hybrid) pickup.

Poking around online, it looks like the original hybrid pickup truck that I worked on was discontinued in 2007, and the second version of the hybrid pickup truck, with a somewhat different design, was discontinued in 2013. I can't find any current hybrid pickup offerings, so it looks like they dropped that capability, and with it the higher capacity 110V system.
Very touching, thanks.
For the original hybrid that I worked on, yes, apparently so. See my other post downthread.
I meant my comment to read like this:

[My opinion on trusting DDG] - [Reason for my opinion on trusting DDG].[More information about the reason]

In this case, because I don't use the "personal attack" to reach my conclusion that the person was wrong, I don't think it would be a case of argument ad hominem.

But if someone read it like this:

[One reason for my opinion on trusting DDG] - [Another reason for my opinion on trusting DDG].[More information about the second reason]

Then I am using the "personal attack" to reach my conclusion that the person was wrong, so I think it would be a case of argument ad hominem.

My comment wasn't written very well, and I'll try to write better comments in the future. Not that adding an ad hominem to a valid argument makes it invalid, I guess?. But it's still good to avoid fallacies, and to write one's comments so they're likely to be understood the way one meant them.
Ok, but that's pretty irrelevant to the core of dabbernaught420's argument. Focusing on that is kind of pointless.
Yeah and Russia has had a big military presence in Transnistria for a long time. They mention a lot of the workers coming across the river into Moldova. I bet they are all ex-helicopter mechanics for the Russian army that used to work on this model, and someone had the idea that they could make more money building the helicopters instead of fixing them.
I second this. I've been a part of board meetings where I'm impressed how efficient and timely things can get if you use these rules.
HotSpot uses a JIT compiler that dynamically recompiles code at runtime to speed up hot code paths. GraalVM native compilation cannot do this, and given the nature of Java's non-reified generics, it's very hard to get equivalent speeds at runtime. Profile-guided optimization is the only hope to recover some of that performance gap, and it's currently only available in GraalVM EE. I'm not sure how the benchmarks compare to HotSpot.
What a world class reply. This is what makes open source valuable.
My wife is a resident physician. I've seen so many things that could easily turn into a highly profitable, but not unicorn level business. In fact, there are a ton of websites/businesses that appear to be highly profitable in the space, but will never grow larger than 7 figures. If you run that with a small team, you can grow a very nice lifestyle business that can provide consistent income.

You'll never hit a unicorn valuation, but you could get a a point where you don't work too hard and live a comfortable life.
I expect it's continuous. It probably uses the engine's own cooling system for heat management, and I'm sure it will auto-throttle the engine based on load.

That's a very interesting question I would love to read more about if someone has good material related to it.

My intuition is that no data set can take into account all aspects of humanity and therefore cannot be bias free.

However, I believe that exhaustive data sets have a great potential of being less biased that human beings.
Came here to say this as well. The "full-fidelity" planes like the ones you mentioned do this, or are on their way there.

Sadly, the F-15 isn't one of those; you can fly it and operate the systems but it's not a full-clickable cockpit like the F/A-18C you mentioned, or the Harrier, A-10C, etc. Hopefully we'll get that in the future with RAZBAM's F-15E.

The F/A-18C is getting quite fleshed out, and the F-16C will get there eventually. Someone mentioned Falcon BMS, and despite it's age, it is, as I understand, a fully feature complete sim of the Block 50/52 F-16C.

If anyone wants to see an accessible guide on some of these planes and what all the buttons do, check out "Chuck's Guides" over on Mudspike. The guy puts incredable work into making these for the community, and they are invaluable. Interesting reading even if you don't play DCS.

If landlords don't exists, the land is still there, and we lost nothing, since land can't be created or destroyed.

If landlords don't exist, people couldn't have a place to live unless they could purchase themselves. I think landlords are great - I can get a nice place to live and have none of the risk the landlord does. Property prices go down? I don't care. House burns down? I don't care. If I want to pick up and leave in a year? Great, here's notice. No real estate fees, paperwork, etc.

I think landlords offer a fantastic service.
It's an interesting idea. But no contact info, no privacy policy, almost nothing comes up under a google search.
To my knowledge, they typical ISP of the 1990s provided free web hosting. (At least it was in my neck of the woods.) It may not have been much, but it was enough to put up a personal website that was not plastered with advertising.

The necessity to write your own HTML (or use tools like Dreamweaver and Frontpage) and the anything goes design mentality may have resulted in some atrocious sites, but it also made the web feel more personal. While there may be some ability to tweak the design while using a CMS, it is much more constrained and sites feel much less personal.
Vegas is a con. Went there and probably will never return.

Smoking, gambling and open liquor is about the extent of Vegas. It gets boring after a weekend there. Obviously if someone is dependent on any of the three it is the best place ever.

If you're like me who doesn't smoke, hate the smell, gambling is just $100 for entertainment value and drink beer while eating dinner it isn't the place to be at. This is generally what I hear fellow millennials once they visit.
I've looked at a few of the other Pi-like SBCs out there that have beefier hardware features, and the one question I can't find an answer to is: how well is it supported, and what happens if the company that makes it disappears?

With the RPi, I know that enough stuff is upstreamed that even if the RPi Foundation were to dissolve, I could still run a stock Debian with a stock kernel on it and get most of the functionality working (where in my case, "most" is everything that I personally have a need for). While the RPi isn't 100% open hardware-wise (stupid Broadcom), the stuff that is open is good enough for me.

But I don't know how to get similar confidence about NanoPi, RockPi, OrangePi, CubieBoard, etc. How open is the hardware? Is support for everything I need upstreamed? What's the community like? A cursory look at their various websites didn't give me enough information to feel comfortable trying one out. I have a limited amount of time for this stuff, and I'd like to have a pretty high level of confidence before buying one.

I'll admit that my hesitance is maybe a little unfair and colored by a single bad experience: a few years ago I bought a ReSpeaker (the original v1 hardware). It was, frankly, garbage. The hardware itself was designed poorly and was buggy (attempting to run anything off the SD card would result in random no-reason SIGILL/SIGBUS/SIGSEGV, for one thing; that's a sign of broken hardware design). Support was minimal[0], and after they started working on the v2 hardware, they more or less stopped caring about v1. I actually threw the board away because it was useless. I wasted a good 20+ hours trying to get the ReSpeaker to do something useful, and I'm never getting that time back. I don't want a repeat.

In contrast, the RPi has always been a reliable platform to build on, with a great, responsive community.

[0] And the only suggestion was "only run things off the built-in flash"... which, IIRC, was double-digit-megabyte tiny.
Second this. The BMS community is top-notch. Even though I play DCS, it's amazing how long it's been maintained. The DCS Falcon still has a long way to go before it will be feature complete next to BMS.
Not quite what you're talking about but it's US federal law to keep electronic log books for long haul trucking. Can't be on paper anymore. Not that you'd need a law to do what you're asking. Could be as simple as a text file on a USB mass storage device built into the car. Type whatever notes you want into it.
It's even crazier than that. That page suggests using ResEdit to modify the Netscape application to feature their spinnning basketball icon rather than the standard "N".

(ResEdit was Apple's editor for data in the resource fork of HFS files, which classic Mac apps used to store their assets. Mac OS X abandoned this interesting but unusual approach in favor of the NeXT way, ".app" directory hierarchies.)

I'm pretty sure the building is worth much more than $2m.

Assuming all the units are under rent control, it might not be worth much more than $2M.

A good example is my place in SF. 3 unit building in a very desirable neighborhood. If the place was empty? It would likely fetch $5M based on square footage.

With 3 tenants who have been there 10 years and have rent control? My realtor tells me they base it on cap rate and with only $7000 in rent being collected, the landlord would be lucky to $1.5M for it.

Our local organic store (ecoindian) has returned to the older model where we take boxes/bottles to the store, fill them up and bring them back home.
