I used one, once. Ride took roughly 10 hours. 6 seats cabine, with people leaving and boarding a couple of times. Never again.

Love the concept. But execution needs to be premium (cabine / bed for myself, pleasent looking interior) and cheaper than alternatives. Otherwise plane or car are the superior options.

Really hoping this will work out well.
YouTube was successful long before ContentID. Perhaps they managed to stay successful by handling the issue, but their initial success was certainly not due to handling the issue.
The action of MasterCard here could be a blessing in disguise. To the extent that the major credit card platforms drop porn, alternative payment methods will become mainstream, and the credit cards will gradually cease to be gatekeepers.

The demand for porn won't be affected by such bans, fappers worldwide will interpret it as damage and route around it.
There was value beyond sharing files, music sharing services had decent search and music previewing.

I think a music sharing site I used let you see the other music files a user was sharing, so if you thought they had good taste you could check out other things too.
> time and interest for poetry

I agree with your overall point, but it is a mistake to see poetry as a product of development. The Persian-speaking region is among the most poetry-mad of all peoples on earth, but rarely have they been wealthy. And the Manas, the epic-poetry tradition of Kyrgyzstan that has persisted for centuries, is losing ground among younger generations precisely because of access to modern luxuries like television and the internet. Moreover, when Milman Parry and Albert Lord wanted to study firsthand the kind of techniques that gave rise to Homer’s poetry, they headed for what was then among the poorest parts of Europe. The list could do on and on.
Spot on, humans are always the weakest link. You must assume your users will invoke every worst practice imaginable and make your system secure anyway.
I was talking purely about domestic policy, just to clarify. In the US people in the southeast are most immediately affected by global warming, in the form of severe storms (incidentally states in the southeast are also already among the greatest recipients of federal aid, because of their high levels of poverty). On an international level there will need to be economic cooperation as well but it will look different because there isn’t a single sovereign to collect and distribute revenue. Typically such solutions focus on agreements to reduce tariffs in international trade provided certain conditions and such.

> That said, like digg, the redesign is also missing a lot of features that old.reddit has. So, if they don't want to digg v4 themselves (which is what made Reddit popular to begin with) then they have to at least keep old.reddit around until there is feature parity.

It was less the features or lack there-of that drove Digg users away with v4, and more the change in culture around news websites being "official" and auto-submitting their stories.
The only pressure to grow weed inside is quality but premium flower is losing market share quickly. Every extracted product (vapes, edibles, drinks, topicals) is created from biomass which is best grown outdoors for the cheapest price.

There also isn't really that much weed needed as people think. Outdoors you can get roughly ~1,500lbs per acre of dried flower. In Colorado 2017, roughly 20,000lbs of cannabis was consumed per month. If you project based on population, the whole USA only needs about 7,000 acres harvested, annually. Maybe they'll be some loss so let's say 15,000 acres would safely cover it. In the USA, there's over 90,000,000 acres of corn grown a year. Cannabis is actually a very small market from the farming side and the indoor grows will very much be a niche market.

As for the general economics, vertical farming will never make sense until either the underlying economics of farming change (maybe from climate change) or energy becomes free.
Many people overstate Apple's achievement, in reality most credit should go to TSMC the company that manufactures the M1 chip.

The M1 is a 5nm chip, while the i9 is a 14nm chip!
The M1 has about 16b transistor, the i9 has only about half of that amount.

Apple's only achievement here was to make a deal with TSMC in order to be the first one to use their 5nm technology.

I don't think it's fair to dismiss some of those, like Rust. That project very explicitly wants to be viable as a safe tool for writing systems code, and the fact that it's accumulated a lot of complexity doesn't take away that intent (or the fact that it's being successfully used in that capacity).

That said, I am super excited about the Zig project, and it hits a sweet spot for me in a way that none of the other "C but better" projects have. Calling it another "C but better" language wasn't an attempt to disparage the project, but to classify it.
IMHO it's a shame. No taxes on fuel while train companies have to pay taxes on electricity.

I've traveled in a lot of developing countries. I imagine many of the smells I've encountered in small cities are the same as they've been for centuries or even millenia. The most prominent smells are sewage (from open sewers and natural waterways loaded with sewage); agricultural (manure from both farms and from animals still used in transport); and burning garbage (still common in many rural developing areas). The biggest shift is likely the replacement of manure from transport animals (horses, oxen, etc.) with unregulated exhaust from transport (trucks to be sure, but primarily from two-cycle engines on small motorcycles and tuk-tuks). I can't imagine what a large metropolis would have smelled like before sewage was largely contained and before internal combustion engines replaced animals.

>That's not entirely true... the redesign has some moderation and content submission improvements. But, if you don't mod or submit content then you might not notice those improvements.

But the only reason that is true is because they consciously left those new features out of the old interface. The improvements for moderators could be added to the original layout just the same.

For actually using the site the old design is about 100x better in every way except for mindless scrolling.

M1 is not RISC-V and I don't think CISC vs RISC is of any significance here.

If naive bayes is really embarassingly parallel, SIMD+lots of cores help here of course. It is also probably highly optimized code that doesn't rely so significantly on OoO capabilities and can take advantage of the higher clock rate.

Even Itanium was very good at numerical code.
Try with some real multicore workloads and the 3900x will be much further ahead
It has nothing to do with their architecture.
Here are the facts:

The M1 is a 5nm chip, while the i9 is a 14nm chip! The M1 has about 16b transistor, the i9 has only about half of that amount.

No surprise the M1 is faster.
Most credit should go to TSMC for being able to manufacture 5nm chips.
No, i disagree with the premise of the article and simply trying to argue, within logic and reason, against it.

> I'm surprised at how much impact the NYT's expose (I would personally consider it more of a hit piece) has had. I naively assumed that PornHub, as a top-10 site on the web would be immune to such a piece, but I guess I was wrong.

The NYT is among a small subset of papers that is read by elites and captains of industry. Most of the people at the top of large credit card companies heard this from the NYT, not from customer complaints or lower-level employees, and they immediately thought about the PR implications.

> How many of the members of the NYT and the Visa and Mastercard boards who created on this outcome watched the videos that are now down? Probably a majority of them, but that wasn't enough to stop the moral panic I guess.

Who knows? But that's not why they are cutting off payments. They are cutting off payments because associating with a pornography site that was called out in an NYT op-ed is a bad look.

> Leaving aside the x86 vs Arm efficiency debate

Just to clarify, there was no debate about efficiency in terms of work per Watt for a very long time now. Arm wins in this regard, because it is designed for efficiency. The remaining questions were question is how fast can Arm go? Can it compete with x86 performance-wise?

> You're ignoring the fact that vertical farms have layers. In this article, they are growing 14 layers, so to match the output of one acre of farmland requires 1/14 of an acre of building, if all else is the same.

I also used 20 per sq foot which is an gross underestimation for actual cost per square foot of a vertical farm to compensate for this. I wouldn't be surprised if each "layer" itself has a per square foot cost that is a significant fraction of the equivalent cost of a farmland sq foot.

> Also, vertical farms can produce 365 days a year, which conventional farms can not.

Vegetables are grown in California 7-8 months a year. So there is room here for an advantage to vertical farms, but is it really a significant advantage? Most CA growers own or lease land in AZ and CA and flip flop between the two as the season dictates, so there is there no real advantage here in terms of availability and as I already outlined the cost is far below a vertical farm so if you can't give vertical farm a price or available advantage what advantage do they have?

And to answer my own previous question, for all the "shop local" trends out there, transportation costs are minimal, which is why you can buy produce from even another country at cut-rate prices, so these are probably not a big factor. I would guess the most significant promise of vertical is probably less inputs. Inputs traditionally cost more than land in farming (I actually do know about this as I work for an AG company and have been in the precision Ag industry for 10 years). However, inputs don't cost (200x/150x/100x/50x/whatever number you want to go with for vertical farm land cost multiplier) more than land cost. I guess the argument can be made that I just put everything in cost terms and not in some sort of ecological benefit terms but that is just the world we live in, solar didn't blow up because people started to care, it blew up because it became economically viable.
Probably better if you subtract the hotel stay you'd otherwise have to make.
There were a few confusing bits to this article including the fact that the preamble shows different specs than the graphs and tables in the actual benchmarks. There is also mismatched labels on the axes sometimes they are per machine and sometimes they are per benchmark which made it a little hard to follow. The overall point that the M1 is a viable development machine is really nice to see. I am intrigued by the fact that the air seems to be the mini often times—I would be interested to know more about why. I would also be interested to see additional benchmarks from other lower level languages like rust, C and Swift.

I just looked up the yearly average high / lows for Berlin and London. I never realized they were both so temperate.

They are both 10 degrees of latitude further North than me here in Iowa, yet they both look to rarely dip much below freezing.

I knew London's temperature was buffered by being so close to the ocean, but I always thought Berlin was far enough inland to not have that benefit.

And then on top of that they both have milder summers than here.

That's all very interesting to me.

This is actually a pro for bitcoin. It's not useful as anything other than a store of value.

If we collectively decide to switch to bitcoin as our store of value network, and retire gold and silver from that use case, then we free up all the gold stored in vaults collecting dust as a value store to do more useful work that it's uniquely capable of, like being used in electronics or dental work.

A lot of these use cases now aren't economically viable because the market value of gold is inflated due to being overloaded with the store of value use case.

No conflict: The infection rate is 2% from those starting not infected. The infection rate is 1% for those who started as infected and later tested positive again, after more weeks. That's only twice less common than normal infection, which is a lot.

The quote you requoted only partially lacked the end: "at baseline": "A small proportion of participants were seropositive at baseline" which doesn't say anything about the reinfection.

It's also surely not antibody test, NAAT mentioned is "nucleic acid amplification test" a test that tests for the presence of virus' RNA, not antibodies. Also: false positive while symptomatic is significantly less probable than just the probability of false positive.

If your point is that you don't believe they were seropositive at all at baseline, fine, that's can be said, it would be possible, and that is surely not 100% sure.

The point is still, there's no proof that the reinfections are "rare." And from what is known about another human coronaviruses reinfections do occur each year.

Edit, answer to below: yes, I tried to understand what you say, the last two paragraphs I wrote after I wrote the start. The NAAT is the only test procedure mentioned in the same quote where you took only the first few words. I do admit wrongly remembering the nature of the test at the baseline. It has sense as it would be less probable to have somebody participating in the study at the time when he should be in isolation.
So basically, Russians had the highest level of access to every large company and most government agencies in the US? (Including defense, DOD, pentagon)

> Google believes that the browser market is still largely uncompetitive ... This is because Internet Explorer is tied to Microsoft's dominant computer operating system, giving it an unfair advantage over other browsers. Compare this to the mobile market, where Microsoft cannot tie Internet Explorer to a dominant operating system, and its browser therefore has a much lower usage. The value of competition for users (even in the limited form we see today) is clear: tabbed browsing, faster downloads, private browsing features, and more.

Wow, this is enlightening. I'll take back my last statement. Maybe Google should be offering users to pick a default search engine from the start like they wanted Microsoft to do...
As a non smoker, I've always found the actual smell of a burning cigarettes to be sweet and attractive. I think this is because some of my earlier memories are being a little boy waiting for the bus in freezing cold Russia, and seeing soldiers smoking. It looked warm and pleasant, so I think I associated the smell with pleasure.

Places with stale smoke, like bars and smoker's houses still smell bad though. Its the actual smoke from a cigarette that I like the smell of.

There are comments on other articles (like https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/12/pornhub-purges-a...) where people are quoting statistics that suggest that PornHub has very little problematic content compared to other sites, such as Facebook.

So the question is - why don't Visa and Mastercard take issue with those other platforms? Are they going after Pornhub simply because it sounds "bad"? Is it because they are caving to pressure from religious groups or feminist groups or some other organization? Or is it because other offenders may espouse political views that Visa/Mastercard are aligned to? Or is it that Pornhub is smaller and they can afford to lose them? Either way, I am not a fan of duopolists picking winners and losers, instead of the law picking them.
