Pedestrian deaths have been rising in the US for a few years after falling steadily, and the number of private vehicles that are light trucks and SUVs has been rising steadily. So there's a clear correlation, as well as a mechanism in that the higher, blunter front ends of these vehicles are more likely to kill pedestrians in a collision (hitting vital organs instead of legs).

It's hard to know if there was a commensurate rise in buses, vans and (commercial) trucks, but they have a couple of mitigating factors: Drivers usually have more training, and they're often designed with reasonable forward visibility (especially cab-over designs).

You're 100% right that street design is a super important variable here. If this kind of thing interests you I'd recommend the book Right of Way by Angie Schmitt (no relation).
I guess you can sue for anything, but does saying Uber could theoretically use your answers against you in the future hold any water? It is going to be very hard to prove actual harm here.
Thanks so much for checking this out!

Like tyoma said in the previous comment, if you had a use case where you needed to run lots of things in parallel, then this would be useful. Latency is much higher on GPUs (clock speeds are lower and memory access latencies are higher), and system call support will make this even worse, so this probably wouldn't fare well unless you had a use case that could utilize that high a degree of parallelism.

The language your parser parses may not be the language you had in mind. Indeed, the language you had in mind may not actually exist. It’s easy to operate based only on examples, and think you know what your language is, when in fact there are cases you didn’t consider. Your parser will resolve the ambiguity (because it has to), but if the tool had told you about the ambiguity, you might have redesigned the language. The result is often that one of your users will discover the ambiguity instead, and then it may be too late.

As an example too well-known to actually occur, suppose you parse “if x then if y then x else z” with the else clause associated to the first if statement, because that’s just how you happened to write the parser. It’s not ambiguous, but your users won’t be happy when they find out the unambiguous rule.

You have quite a misunderstanding ...

It was never "blend your AZ usage so we can't take one down."

Seems like a weak argument. As a society, we don't want people cheating. If this is the view that one chooses to present, they stand a reasonable chance of persuading people the other way.

It's not hard to think of something more persuasive along similar lines. E.g. an app that shows you the ids of someone's past hookups from facebook or tinder or whatever without their consent.

I’d challenge this timeline. The crisis was widely announced and understood before the crackdowns you mention. I don’t at all deny the negative effects that came from crackdowns. As you say they shifted a prescription drug crisis to one that more and more is a heroin and fentanyl crisis, but the crisis existed before, at least in the popular imagination and discourse.
This is free market for you. They offer something, you accept the offer if you want. Re-read the EULAs, for you have agreed with their provisions.

Would you prefer the government to set rules about what kind of access you have to have to your computer (and maybe force the evil corps give you more freedom)? That won't even be funny. Corporations at the very least are interested in keeping you as a customer. Any government, given a chance, would mandate spyware and backdoors, for your safety, but mostly for their safety. Examples abound; look at China, Turkey, Kazakhstan, etc.

Please realize that the lack of agency is the principal component of the price you pay for the polish and cleanliness in the walled garden. There is no known other way to run it.
I understand why they stopped working on the Pi, but I don't necessarily agree with the reasons.

I've got several arm64 boards, and only one of them comes close to a "libre" boot. The Marvell Espressobin runs a fork of the Arm Trusted Firmware that diverged so far from mainline that after Marvell stopped working on it in 2018, it hasn't been touched, CVEs and all. The Pi actually has a chance of having a reimplemented bootloader and being used by a lot of people.
That sounds neat and I'd love to hear about it if you ever work on it!

I don't want your colors in my terminal. Gemini is a user-agent, and this time we actually mean it. It's not a developer-agent or vendor-agent. You provide the content and the client provides the presentation, by design, and if you don't like it, then you are missing the point. I looked at your HTML pages and I find the colors uncomfortable to read.

No. I think your websites are suited to Gemini, but you don't understand what Gemini is trying to do. Your tools seem to be bizzarely obsessed with colors, though, so I can understand why you would recoil at the idea that a document format might not invite you to its party.

You are mixing "over represented" and "under represented" information which could be tricky; they were only looking at over represented.

The data does seem to suggest that in an area annotated as "white" you are more likely to have location and it is less likely to have broken machines, whereas in an are annotated as "black" the opposite is true.

Those are the only two categories showing up as extremal on both tests.

Without digging into the methodology it's hard to get much more out of it. It's also not clear hwy "Low-income" doesn't show up as blue/over-represented on that chart.

You can, I've got git, vim, and python on my iPad now. It's by no means perfect .. python is really slow .. but it works for my basic workflow for smaller projects.
I have used it extensively over the years but it doesn't work all that well for me and comes with really bad side effects (like making me super tired, which makes it really hard to work), making me insatiably hungry, etc. I've tried all kinds of different combos and it's a nice tool for the toolbox, but it's by no means a replacement for me.

I might also add I don't enjoy being high at all. I really prefer to have a clear head, especially during the day while I'm working. I've tried strains that are supposed to be good for that but they don't really work on the pain.
I hear what you're saying, but it feels like you should be placing your blame on the sacklers too - if they hadn't pushed opioids on people who didn't need them, fueling the crisis, then there would not have been this backlash you describe.

Probably more about the visibility than the outcome—an attempt to drive a narrative that Uber et al are corrupt regulatory-capturing entities that are manipulating the public through a suit like this could help the NO on Prop 22 cause. The trouble is, although that is substantially true, California legislators have broken things so badly with AB-5 that the public has no choice but to vote YES on Prop 22.

Speaking for myself only, I have an iPhone with iOS and a MacBook Air with macOS and a desktop computer that runs FreeBSD. Haven’t used Windows for years. Was purely Linux and FreeBSD for several years too.

Back when I left Windows, Windows 7 had just come out, and I switched over to Linux and FreeBSD because I learned about those at the university and I came to appreciate open source software.

Then came smart phones and I heard that Android ran Linux. So I was like wow finally a computer in my pocket where I can do everything I can on my laptop!

But I soon learned that this was not the case.

Mobile platforms are fundamentally different, and the terminal is not relevant for most things I want to do with a phone.

I want to record videos, watch videos, talk to people, read stuff. And I still have an SSH client on my iPhone for when I need to remote into my server to do stuff on it while on the go.

And iPhone is giving me the best experience, with the addition of being really tight on the security. And for my phone this is what I want.

I am staying with Apple until they take it too far. Then I will leave them in a heartbeat. But for all the years I have been using iOS, everything Apple has been doing has been a betterment of the experience.

The only one thing really that bothered me was I had a magazine subscription and reading those magazines is in theory only possible on iOS. Even though actually it’s just an app for reading PDF files. And I didn’t have access to the PDF files directly. But that was a minor thing anyway, and recently I jailbroke an old iOS device that I have had laying in a drawer that was running an old iOS version and I was actually able to extract PDF files from the app.

But that subscription or two that I had, those were an exception anyway. Mostly when I read something on the phone I read on the web. And all of the eBooks that I have ever bought I have bought on the computer and not locked down in an app.

I don't really understand the point of this. Is outdoor dining and cold a new thing? Doesn't this happen every year at winter?

That and all the food they listed are typical winter dishes you find on menus every year. How is this newsworthy at all?

Rivian (of all companies) is building a very cool looking delivery van for Amazon. Not sure if they're going to be available for civilian use, or if there's going to be an all wheel drive option, though.

IMO there are very few situations where a van isn't superior to a pickup truck, and I don't understand the continued popularity of trucks versus vans in the US. About the only advantages of pickups are for bulk materials (e.g. soil/gravel), messy materials (e.g. straw bales) and really tall things that need to stay upright (e.g. refrigerators), and of course towing certain extremely large trailers.

Julia: Dynamism and Performance Reconciled by Design (2018)
An alternative approach is to grow your own magic mushrooms, lots of step by step instructions on reddit, youtube instructional videos, etc. Psilocybin has the additional advantage of shorter trips.

https://doubleblindmag.com/shrooms-vs-acid/

> In addition to the contrasting content of the experience, the onset, duration, and intensity of the trips are distinctly different. Psilocybin takes approximately 45 minutes for effects to be felt and lasts between four and six hours, with these effects peaking around two hours into the experience. Psilocybin highs are also sometimes described as “coming in waves” with emotions oscillating between extreme euphoria and bliss to anxiety and trepidation. There is also anecdotal evidence to suggest a mushroom experience and can be potentiated or re-invigorated by ingesting cannabis a few hours into the experience. Alternatively the effects of LSD can last around twelve hours and are typically reported to be more steady, gradually intensifying until a peak around two hours into the experience, plateauing, then gently declining from approximately seven to nine hours in.
" And because drivers could reasonably believe they will be deactivated from the platform or denied favorable ride matches if they don’t express explicit support, the data collected about driver support and used for promotion is skewed and misleading."

I'm not sure it's reasonable believe that drivers would get kicked off the platform for answering "Ok". In fact, I think if you asked almost anyone, they would say that's a totally unreasonable belief.

Sounds like a lawyer is trawling for settlement fees, not that any driver actually wanted to do this.

You're talking about the password for the password manager file, I think. I'm talking about the actual passwords you save.

But there are no ambiguities in recursive descent! They won't discover them because... they don't exist! It's literally impossible.

> As an example too well-known to actually occur, suppose you parse...

Great example - and the good thing about recursive descent means it's impossible to write this ambiguously - you must prefer one or the other.

> It’s not ambiguous

Correct. So why are you telling me the problems of ambiguity?

> but your users won’t be happy when they find out the unambiguous rule

Why won't they be happy? You can tell them exactly how their code is going to be parsed. I thought ambiguities was bad but now you're complaining about ambiguity as well?!
Tweaking Doom Emacs to be more like Vanilla Emacs
That's a false dichotomy. Addressing any perceived problems with the law through less extreme means than Prop 22 would be another option.

As one example of how Prop 22 is extreme, it imposes an absurdly high 7/8 supermajority requirement to make legslative changes "consistent" with the proposition and a new initiative vote to make inconsistent changes. Entrenching self-interested corporate-written legislation to that extreme is awful.
I'm not voting for any loosening of labor laws that requires a 7/8th majority to change.

And, honestly, what Uber has been doing with its platform recently has been really worrying me. I get a push notification almost every single day now asking me to vote Yes on Prop 22. I'm worried for what the future holds if this sort of thing is permitted because of Citizens United.
Just to be clear, we're talking about 2 different types of taxes: you're talking about personal income taxes, and I'm talking about business income taxes (aka business profit taxes).

Changing personal income tax rates has a lagging effect on economic spending, because they're spread out over time so that effect ends up being very small on a monthly or bimonthly basis (i.e., the periods over which a person generally receives a paycheck). Generally, consumers don't even notice the change until the file the taxes for the year.

Businesses have had low taxes since the Reagan administration, albeit brief periods of higher taxes during the Clinton and Obama administrations. Notably, business investment was at its highest levels during those periods of high taxes, and the economy grew at its highest rates since the post-WWII reconstruction era. During the periods of low taxes, US businesses actually accelerated off-shoring labor to foreign facilities, and the decline of Detroit and the Rust Belt can be directly correlated with the Reagan tax cuts.

How to Get Crypto DeFi Data into Your Spreadsheet
There is no shortage of assholes on the planet, that's for sure. But bullies tend to target the weak, the vulnerable, people who have been groomed to play the perfect victim.

I'm absolutely certain that my sons are bullied and otherwise mistreated less than they otherwise would be because their mother didn't expect them to learn to "cope" with being bullied. I removed them from the situation, thereby firmly setting the expectation that "This is not remotely acceptable behavior. Period."

Anyone who thinks bullying is a normal, routine part of life should consider the possibility that their childhood experiences groomed them to be good and cooperative victims. It is possible for a person to work on putting that behind them.
