I am surprised that everyone doesn't already know about the Self Contained Ion Powered (Propelled) Aircraft. There are about 2 dozen videos of it online carrying its power supply, a patent, and a website. It has been verified by NPR etc., to lift its power supply using ions. It flies for up to 2 minutes so far.
Politicians are, by their choice of profession, exposed. Which is not to say that death threats and/or harassment shouldn't have legal consequences based on their severity, which of course they should. But note that this article mentions neither, instead saying that someone "insulted a female politician online," which I hope you would agree shouldn't be a crime.

I...also don't know how to respond to your point about the Press Freedom Index other than to say, most European countries have blasphemy or heresy laws, and those apply to the press as well. So I don't know what this index is scoring based off of, but American journalists just don't go to jail for what they write. As opposed to David Irving[1], who did just that.

I just ran into this the other day, which is perplexing, hilarous, horrifying, and confusing all at once.

And I really like this analysis from one of the commentors "Clearly the two folders are inextricably linked somehow in a parallel dimension involving a mesh of space-time, but unfortunately, all of these observations have yet to lead to a real solution."

Anyone know what's going on here? Fingers crossed that Apple doesn't destroy my data.
That's an almost comical level of reductionism concerning exclusionary zoning.

If I lived in a suburban neighborhood I would not want a 7-11 nextdoor. Or a steel fab shop. That is exclusionary zoning and it has nothing to do with race or class discrimination.

It disappoints me to see democracy - and democratic outcomes - embraced only when it produces results we like.

Getting translators for your preferred language is an acceptable form of government grift.

The EU intends to employ 50 people to translate EU legislation into Irish [0]. That's not something that has any direct benefits: there's no one who can read Irish legalese better than English. It does have some second-order effects: if you consider it's culturally valuable to promote and preserve the Irish language, one great way to do that is to provide well paid jobs for people who learn it.

I don't know what in the UI you find so clunky. They seem extremely close to me. If somebody switched my browser without telling me I probably won't notice the difference between firefox and chrome.

Even if firefox was a slightly worse product (which I don't think it is) I would still use and recommend it just for its privacy focused features recently.

Non-chromium based browsers break google's 100% ownership of the web experience and gives some leverage against undesirable change. So even those are better.
On Android only firefox supports addons and easy ad blocking.
I see this kind of comments quite often - what is the point checking out the username? Is an underground internet meme i’ve been missing? (No native English speaker here)
to pick a nit, inflation between 1800 and 1899 varied from as high as +25% (around 1865) to as low as -14% (about 1805). The 1800's were a time of extreme economic volatility in the USA: a few dozen financial panics; crazy economic bubbles; waves of bank failures every few years; astounding opportunities for enrichment, etc. It was the best of times and the worst of times.
Thanks for the comment. Yep Alaska was a tough one. Although Alaska is separated by boroughs, their voting data is not. Researchers come up estimates for how each borough likely voted, but there can be different estimates depending on the methods used. Because of this, it felt more accurate to go with the concrete data that we had, even if it was not at the borough level. Although, I think there is merit to the argument that borough estimates should be used, even if they may not be accurate down to the last recorded vote.
Most CI systems used GET requests to fetch image manifests, in order to see what the registry's most recent image is. These requests are counted towards the limits in Docker's new rules.

Systems which built on top of the GGCR library[0] are switching to using HEAD requests instead[1]. These don't fetch the entire manifest, instead relying on just headers to detect that a change has occurred.

I cited one very high profile example of ridesharing making a public transport project completely unviable within a few short years leaving taxpayers stuck with the bill and you call such skepticism bullshit even when there is clear evidence for voicing concern? If there is any bullshit here it's more likely to be the person who "hitched their online persona to being an expert with an opinion on the topic" than the person who was raising legitimate concerns supported by evidence.

You've just lost any chance at my support and gained someone who is now more extra dubious of this Seattle Subway project than I was previously all because I now believe it is you that isn't engaging in good faith. It's going to take someone knowledgeable and acting in extra good faith to undo the animosity you're directly responsible for creating.

Whenever Seattle Subway comes up in any discussions, I'll be sure to reference how Ben Schiendelman responded when someone raised legitimate concerns. Good job.

> and they’ve been used as anti-transit hobby horses for almost 50 years now

Because there is so much in common with 1970 vs 2020. Ridesharing only became a thing 10 short years ago. Waymo has been providing autonomous rides in Arizona for a few years now. Companies like Segway and LIT motors have pioneered the use of gyroscopes in transportation such that a completely enclosed motorcycle sized vehicle is nearly viable. The possibility of autonomous pods has never been more viable than is is now. It may have been a bullshit argument 20 to 50 years ago, but it's certainly not a bullshit concern in 2020. Sorry if the future is finally catching up with a career you're heavily invested in, but that's not an excuse to behave as you have here.
It's also possible to simply ban some forms of products in the event taxes are not enough to destroy demand. I hear lobbying is cheap and has a great ROI.
That's just not true. Depending on what you count as broadband 60-90% of households have two or more fixed options:

I would love to have a fully-functional phone running GNU/Linux that I can use as a phone and carry around in my pocket and then plug in a keyboard, mouse, and monitor and have a "good enough" computer for basic office and programming capabilities.

As much as I like the idea of 100% FOSS in my pocket, it's simply not practical because I need to use Android apps to hail rides and contact friends who often use only closed-source messenger apps.

If you're in the same boat, a very realistic alternative would be to just carry around a Raspberry Pi.

Maybe because the actual antipathy towards Facebook and Google is about their role in discourse and electioneering; antitrust is just a weapon that happens to be nearby.
Just a decade ago, SMS messages in the US cost 10 to 25 cents per SMS. You also got charged for spam SMS. Prices were completely disjointed from the reality of underlying costs (zero for the telcos). My college CS professor gave senate testimony on this: https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/keshav_testim...

(side rant: in the following ten years, the tech giants sweeped in, competed, provided a better service, with better cross-platform support, for zero dollar immediate cost to the end customer -- gained a massive following (think whatsapp), and are now vilified for their "monopoly" and the "harm" it has caused.)

My read of this situation is:

- Real monopolies (esp Telco) have entrenched lobbying bases

- Tech has done a poor job at lobbying, possibly due to idealism that logic wins even though thats now how things work in the US

- Tech has disrupted so much that they now have multiple industries as enemies

- Tech is concentrated enough geographically that there is some jealousy against this sector "over there" raking in too much money, even if they have provided an amazing service

It means that you're not just adding up some simple curves, you're taking your variable to extremely high powers, in this case all the way up to x^12. The more orders/powers you add into a fit equation, the more it's going to get artificially closer inside your data window (as you sledgehammer it into a nearly arbitrary shape). And the more it's going to immediately shoot to infinity the moment it gets out of your data window, because those extreme powers of your variable are all fighting each other and have no real connection to the underlying data; what physical process is causing x^10 and x^11 and x^12 curves or even x^5 and x^6?

What I learned from the Octopus Whisperer
I believe that bandwidth charge is after you've exceeded the monthly allowance and for when someone wants to pull your image over the internet, and not distributing to your instances.

"In the future, each plan will have a bandwidth allowance and additional outbound data transfer (from the registry to the internet) will be $0.10/GiB."
I hope there's a bit more detail than that. I have seen numbers in the past that the US and Europe together represent only a relatively small amount of plastic, but perhaps not if you account for transfers of recycled material. I thought the major contributor was abandoned nets, though.
I don’t think I agree. This is still a great choice if you need a container registry for your images that you run on Digital Ocean compute - as far as I can tell there is no bandwidth charge there. This means that DO has a total container hosting platform.
I almost mentioned the auth thing but left it out as a bit of an implementation detail.

It would not be difficult to map from a digest to a list of repositories.

You sound like the old man...

An old man was walking along a beach after a storm. While walking he sees a little boy though starfish into the ocean.

Old man: “Ay, boy! What are you doing?”
Boy: “I’m throwing the starfish into the sea so they can go home”
Old man (after looking at the thousands of starfish that washed up thanks to the storm): “Why? You can’t save them all!”
Boy (picks one up and throws it into the sea without breaking eye contact with the old man): “I just saved that one”

The old man was taken aback by the child’s moxie that he even started to through a few back himself as he continued his walk.

After his walk, the old man and his wife go for breakfast with some friends. There, the old man tells them about the little boy and the starfish. Everyone at the table, and even a few tables away (the old man is loud you see), loved the story. In fact they loved it so much that it start to spread through town.

By noon that day hundreds of people had join the boy on the beach throwing starfish into the sea.

By sunset there were no starfish on the beach.
That only reduces the problem a bit though, it's not a sustainable solution. We also need to produce plastics that can and will be recycled. Taxation and legislation could be drivers for improvements.

I was obsessed with My Octopus Teacher.

I wanted to know how Craig Foster learned to track animals underwater.

So I watched it dozens and developed a framework for understanding his mastery.

My question is, what stories do you know about the acquisition of mastery?

He didn't go into any wilderness. He traveled one of the most popular hiking trails in the country. Went into stores. Stayed in campgrounds. Let himself be photographed a bunch of times. Why he hesitated that once, I don't know, but I seriously doubt anyone would have pressed him if he'd just declined.

Better ways? A boat out into the ocean. Hiking out West or in Alaska. Or South America. Going deep into an unpopular cave. Hiking in a desert.

There are many, many places more "wild" than the popular hiking trail in Florida where he passed. If he'd wanted to slip away quietly, he seems like he had the means and the intelligence to have figured out how to do that successfully.

Regarding the climate data: Climate change is definitely happening. The problem is that the current model for sea ice growth is wrong because we're missing something (hypotheses need to be tested: maybe the salinity of water is dropping at the surface, maybe there's a change in water currents), but sea ice grow and melt every year. The ice shelves, however, are melting at a record pace.

Comments like this one[1] that mention having difficulty using Termux to access SD cards keep making me feel like we are radically over-securing devices. More and more it feels like the OS, the browser, are guarding the user not against bad apps, but also against the user.
Firefox Mobile only allowing less than a dozen extensions. Chrome mobile supporting no extensions. These are different than the OS, but the same kind of decisions done "for the user" by removing capabilities from the environment.

Even the people not fighting against people in the War on General Purpose Computing keep seceding our sovereign systems away from us. The need for security is real, but I don't see that we are approaching it with balance. We seem to be growing ever more heavyhanded, permitting users less & less, and I don't see a reciprocal respect & empowerment being considered, furthered or advanced.

Your points are very correct I think. Just wanted to comment that I didn't mean to call anyone who uses data published by others unscrupulous, I was just talking about researchers who would go hunting for p-hacking in others' data.
You have to call them. The mom test has a great framework. But the best way it to ask for advice. Setup and low barrier impropt call right away not days away. Also prep questions you need answered before hand.

What you say is generally true of plastics, but not in the example you give. PET is in fact properly recyclable; bottle-to-bottle recycling is done with PET.

(And the intent of my proposal is to render the use of plastics unlike PET uneconomical. That's the point of the proposal, not the problem with it.)

I write in languages with and without IDE. With autocompletion, I'm more productive than without. Even in shell I prefer to use autocompletion or two panel file commander, because it lowers burden on my brain. I don't need to spend brain cycles on correctness of typed code. I know names, I type fast, but with Tab it even faster to type, and less error prone.

For example, when I started to use Rust, IDE was not available, so I used plain text editor for about 2 years. When I switched to halfbaked IDE, my productivity is raised because of autocompletion and error checking on the fly.

You're getting downvoted and I'm not sure why, but I'd like a moment to share my story and why I believe in what you believe:

My mom called me the other week and told me that a recruiter was looking for me. She gave me their name and number, but I was stumped. How the hell did:
1. They know that was my mother
2. How did they know her number
3. How did they know she would be able to reach me?

I've subsequently determined that my ICE information was leaked somehow. This is the only piece of information, other than life insurance, where my mother and I would be positioned as related. I do not have a Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit. I have this profile, which is my average online profile, and I have a professional one. Neither has ties back to my family, much less phone numbers. We also live in totally different states and they were calling her about a job for me in my current state and city.

I would say it is already unethical to dox someone, just if you do it in the name of sales or "connecting people" Americans somehow sweep it under the rug.

This is just a matter of correcting societal expectations.
