They are using the same technique they use in Japan.

In Tokyo, you get full signal strength, wherever you are (even in tunnels going underwater).

That's because they have mobile antennas everywhere, including lining all the railway lines.

> They made $331M in “profit” on $397M in carbon credit sales at 100% margin...meaning their core business still loses money.

In the last quarterly update Elon said that his goal was to have a profit margin of 1-2% with the rest going to R&D and expansion. So as long as carbon credit sales are more than 2% of revenue, we'll hear the same complaint.
Switzerland is also very small, as countries go. The longest train route is IC 1 (St. Gallen <-> Geneva) going from the (almost) easternmost point to the westernmost point, and it’s 4 hours (it does have a few higher speed sections close to Bern). They simply don’t need much speed if they run frequent and reliable trains.
There are so many things named with stupidly inconsistent capitalization that we should all stop caring and just capitalize the first letter like any other proper noun.

If you regularly fly, security isn't much of an issue with precheck or clear. You can also fly into newark and take path, much faster to get to downtown, or fly into laguardia and uber (ok laguardia sucks I'm not really an advocate for this).

The problem with train investment is it starts to look really uninteresting for most people once the train travel time is 5+ hours. The investment in improving airport connectivity and flexibility has dramatically wider use cases and ROI versus train investment, which is notoriously expensive and realistically only going to serve a very limited set of use cases.

In Europe there are more cases for trains. Density and centralization is much higher. When you build a train line in central Switzerland you are going to reach a much higher percentage of the population, justifying the investment of national resources. That is simply not the case in the United States.

Change it to "Latest tweets."

The change will last as long as your session does. For whatever reason, it will revert to "Top tweets" every time your browser's session expires. I assume Twitter does that to nudge people to experience the new feed ordering, but I think silently reverting it probably just baffles and/or frustrates them.

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

I will say that as a teenager, mass lexical comparison, in Merrit Ruhlen's book 'The Origin of Language: Tracing the Evolution of the Mother Tongue', was very compelling. Ruhlen worked closely with Greenberg, who was a famous historical/comparative linguist of African languages.

Ten or more years later, with the benefit of experience, I feel like aligning hundreds of languages in a common vector space (multilingual word embeddings) will probably answer these questions better. But I am not a comparative linguist.

'teen' isn't a preposition (er, are they prepositions.. I mean 'prefixes' like 'pre', 'post', 'super', 'intra', 'inter', 'ultra', 'non', 'un', 'trans', 'cis', ... - modifier perhaps? I mean that 'teen' isn't altering 'ager' that otherwise stands alone.) - and it's not a term I'd use personally anyway, but it doesn't annoy me for that reason.

The better example would be 'trans' of course, but yes it bugs me too. It's just in more common usage I suppose.

>People tell me the reasons that everything is more expensive than in Switzerland

US is cheaper than Switzerland for pretty much any product. If you are talking about train service, then the reason for that is because US (and Canada) prioritize freight traffic. Freight traffic is much more efficient in North America than in Europe [1] and unfortunately (or fortunately) is prioritized over passenger traffic.

Honestly, I think America made the better decision.

[1]https://www.freightwaves.com/news/why-is-europe-so-absurdly-...

"European railways had no incentive to take risks to re-engineer and spend billions of euros to increase clearances and rework tunnel heights for double-stacked railcars, because the European railway business model was about moving passengers and not freight – the opposite of how North America dealt with its railroad system. "
It's a good point, but there are many grid experts who argue that smaller, distributed generation is more robust and reliable than larger, 500MW+ plants. Outside a few areas, most geothermal plants are quite small: I doubt we'll ever see one over 15MW in Canada, for example.

A 7MW plant doesn't sound like much, but if you're cookie-cuttering 9 of them along a line, costs come way down since they're all essentially identical. I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations and if we did all the larger (over 15000hp) natural gas compressor stations in the US and Canada, we'd be looking at something like 42TWh per year of generation. That compares to 68 TWh for all deployed utility solar (2018 tho). That's just gas compressor stations, which are about 15% of the industrial heat generated in the US.
Same experience here... I even told them and they continue pushing.

Having worked on an ambulance as a paramedic where I was exposed to a lot of people, I would say that assuming the possibility that these people are capable of being responsible and adhering to a summons would be the unscientific and ideologically driven stance.

You forget that you mostly deal with "normal" people. People with jobs, or friends, hobbies, etc. There is however, a surprisingly large class of people that aren't even remotely capable of the fairly rudimentary skill-set required to do something like: read a summons, understand that it says they have to go to court on a certain date, decide that they should in fact go, schedule that date and reserve the time to go, wake up on time, remember to go, find reliable transportation to get to court, find the court, figure out how to get into the building and through security, and figure out where to go once in the court building. Failing at any one of the steps in that chain means failing to appear. It may be hard to believe, but in my experience, there are actually a LOT of people for whom this sequence would be a pretty big stretch. Guess which segment of society makes up a disproportionate number of police encounters which will ultimately lead to a court summons?
The other day, a friend who has been working in mainland China for a while, shared that China's logistic networks have enabled a distinct manufacturing process. There, one can expect most goods be delivered next day, across hundreds of city hubs. That efficiency allows factories to have far more choices of their locations that can achieve the same overall efficiency as the centralized factories decades ago.

I thought about it for a while, one conclusion I got is that, unless US significantly curb the capitalism freedom in business activities, there is no chance that one can revert the centralization of the global manufacturing inside mainland China. Simply put, the logistic networks for both goods and people, and many other investment, makes mainland China the best manufacturing hub. That's a straightforward economy outcome.

You don't have to have it exposed to the internet. Without an active connection, clients cant make new passwords/sync, but you can access previously saved passwords that are already synced.

It also doesn't have to be exposed to the internet. You can have it accessible behind wireguard for instance.

First, separated dedicated account reduce the possibility to match it with other activities.

And with a real Microsoft account you have no choice than being forced subscribed to a dozen service that you don't care like email and co, and so easily being bounded with a lot more data points, privacy and terms conditions.

But also you will be forced to login and remain logged with such an account to play. You can not anymore throw and change your Minecraft account at will.
Now this will be related to your whole Microsoft account that could be harder to change because you depend on it for other things.
Think of the poor souls that do login on Windows with their Microsoft account to be able to use their computer!

I use ungoogled chromium but I have a script that completely replaces my .config/chromium/ directory with a clean version saved with no cookies/history or anything else saved. that means I can basically roll back any stuff that I do. to update the config (eg for bookmark adding) I just replace the stored clean version with a new clean version created. I have my workflow integrated with starting on the internet with a "clean slate". yes things take a bit longer being signed out but using a password manager mitigates this somewhat. I have never had a problem with resetting my config and have been using the design for at least 2 years worth of chrome updates (with a few " resets" of my safe config)
I have a Microsoft account for OneDrive, and if that account ever gets banned — say, a defective algorithm thinks I've uploaded pirated content when I haven't — I don't want to also lose access to a game I've already paid for. Right now, the accounts are separate.

The system is unreasonable, but your figures are exaggerations.

You are comparing the price of a budget airline flight, booked at least several days, if not weeks, in advance, with a first class train ticket bought on the day of departure.

Departing tomorrow afternoon, an EasyJet flight is £115. I don't know if the morning flights are sold out, or are currently not running, but they presumably exist. The train is £77 off peak (which matches the flight arrival time), or £166 peak (assuming there are sold-out morning flights). Even this late the day before, it's still possible to book onto a particular train, which is about £60-70.

Bitwarden is great, but I'm getting frustrated at their ridiculous excuses for not implementing fixes.

For the longest time bitwarden has been broken in the firefox's private browsing after mozilla deprecated some apis due to security concerns. They've given alternatives but they are just refusing to fix it, to the point of basically saying mozilla needs to fix the issue. What's sad is a similar mechanism is used in their chrome extension. Someone even raised a working PR that the CTO wasn't fully happy with, and asked for changes (which is fair), but the PR hasn't moved since, so I'd have expected the Bitwarden employees to take it and fix it up.

It's absolutely ridiculous to still not have this fixed years later.

By contrast, I was a 1Password customer at the time this change got introduced, and they'd pushed out a fix not long after.

I will be trying to Linux client, and if it's good enough, I'm certainly switch away.

I think the design is great. Simple and easy to read.
> Why simpler is better and why you don't need a parser generator.

As far as I can see, this isn't fully answered, unless the claim is strictly limited to the question of need.

In my case, I certainly want a parser generator. I'm working on a language, and I did a very early version using a hand-rolled recursive descent parser.

Then I realized I wanted a syntax that was human friendly, so I graduated to megaparsec. That worked, it's an elegant way to describe a parser, but as a language gets complex you have to work in implicit orderings (magic, frankly) to handle the limits of recursive descent.

Finally, I realized I needed a spec and an implementation in sync with that spec, so I went with BNFC[2], and it even generates some pretty documentation[1] for me.

This is the classic debate over using a domain specific language vs. a general purpose language, so there's no hard answer one way or the other. For me, the deciding factor was I didn't want to write, test, etc. my own parser, and I think there being a canonical way for others to parse my language (in other languages as well) is helpful.

Even if stand alone app vendor goes away, the app still works. There are things that I see are okay as a monthly service like Netflix or other content provider where the content is literally changing month to month.

Stand alone software that rarely changes, like 1Pass, does not warrant a monthly service fee from me. I am self-hosting the content, so I don't need their cloud services.
>It's a density problem though.

I had a nasty flu-like something a few years back and lost weight like that too. I didn't notice any lingering issues after maybe 2 1/2 or 3 weeks. The flu had me in bed for a week and weak for ten days or so and yes, it took a while longer to fully recover. But I did fully recover.

And apparently the effect is real and exists. I just never heard anyone say about the flu, "get your flu shot or else face a real possibility of lingering mental impairment."
