> It's probably because before the United States existed, they were separate states.

The same is true of Canada's provinces and Australia's states – before (con)federation, they were separate British colonies. The big difference between Australia/Canada and the US, is the American colonies rebelled first, and then federated after they had won their independence. The Australian and Canadian colonies federated (with the approval of London) into "dominions", which were more than mere colonies but rather semi-independent parts of the British Empire. (London's power over the dominions gradually declined over the decades to the point that it recognised them as fully independent countries, although neither Canada nor Australia was fully independent at the moment of their respective federations.)

(Australians call it "Federation" and Canadians call it "Confederation" but it is the same thing. Canadian confederation never produced a Confederation in the sense that the American Articles of Confederation or the Confederate States of America were.)

Also, even before the now-independent American colonies formed themselves into a federation, they already viewed themselves as a distinct nation. There was never really any point that New Yorkers (for instance) viewed themselves as New Yorkers rather than Americans or British or British North Americans. American states never functioned as national identities. (Even cases like independent Vermont and independent Texas, they saw largely themselves as Americans waiting to be allowed into the United States, there was never really any independent Texan nationalism or Vermont nationalism.) Prior to the American revolution, there was no difference between Americans and English-speaking Canadians – they all saw themselves as British North Americans. It was only after the American revolution that English-speaking Canadians stopped identifying with the label "American" and began to identify it with the other country to the south instead. The American revolution was really the formative event which split Anglophone Canada and the United States into separate national identities.

> There's also the open ended clause where Texas thinks they can secede if they want to.

Texas tried to secede as part of the Confederacy, and the attempt was crushed. Whatever rights of secession some Texans claim exist on paper certainly don't exist in practice.
> At least I'm familiar enough with Amazon to know I'm not getting charged for things I didn't intend to order

Well, unsubscribing Amazon videos is a dark pattern too. Not as bad as Adobe, but still.
I like to imagine that this is how things would look if we entered a Karadashev type III civilization's light cone:

One day, in a small quadrant of the galaxy, we'd notice starts "shutting off", simply going dark. After a few months, our astonomers would confirm their new model: the amount of stars going dark is increasing. Days later: the rate of increase itself, is increasing.
One day we'd wake up, and a small portion of the night sky would be dark. A disk of darkness, right at the brightest part of the galactic plane. By then we would have figured it out of course: most stars in the galaxy were being turned into dyson spheres. They were spreading almost as fast as light, making it look almost instantaneous, even though the process had taken hundreds of thousands of years. In a few thousand years a large portion of our sky would be dark. And after that...
I vaguely recall (could be wrong) Elon said the other companies are not adequately taking into account Tesla safety features. Possibly including the cameras I mentioned.

They do take the safety features into account, but notice I said “adequately.”

Whether Elon actually said it or not, I think it’s a good hypothesis.
I think the aspect that spans between your comment and the one you replied to is this:

Why should “personal experiences” be a different category than “facts?” (even taking for granted the extra step you mentioned, where it is the use of these experiences within a discussion, not the absolute existence of the experience, at play).

For example, suppose I know you and you are honest and trustworthy, so if you verbally testify to an experience, I’ll believe it.

Why would there be a difference in you coming to me and saying, “I attended a BLM rally and just observed such a clear and obvious peaceful sense of non-violent protesting” vs you coming to me and saying “According to research institute XYZ, statistically almost none of the BLM protests involved violence.”

Both of those things are facts in 100% the same sense, in every way. But because you personally claim to experience one of them, I am likely to give it more weight.

Even though there are plenty of reasonable hypotheses why humans would rely on this heuristic, it is still a big problem and a big source of manipulation, from liars, deceivers, conspiracy theories, debunked cranks, folk wisdom, etc.

If our goal is to believe as accurately as possible then we should not feel accepting or accommodating of a heuristic quirk in which we regard one set of facts that have the door wide open to manipulation (anecdotes of others) as generally more compelling than facts sourced through research, compiling data, journalism and so forth.

If we let up the pressure to thwart this heuristic, the most likely outcome is that people use confirmation bias and folk wisdom to construct false realities - and indeed in the US we have been seeing that play out in a huge violent saga. That didn’t happen because people don’t like being confronted with hard facts, it happened because we have allowed much too weak of a sense of social obligation to align beliefs with accurate predictions, as opposed to merely letting people feel they are entitled to believe whatever they want.
I'm guessing not, as they say "whereas only 60.7% when on HTTPS".
Evernote.

I use Swiftscan Pro on iOS to take pics of receipts or single page documents. It OCRs and pushes them into Evernote.

I use PDFPen Pro on Mac to OCR longer documents scanned in using the office scannner/printer. This is triggered when I drop a file into a monitored folder. My applescript fires PDFPen, performs OCR and then imports into Evernote.

I have another monitored folder to import PDFs that don't require OCR (just import into Evernote)

And lastly if I get an email with a PDF attachment, I forward it to my special Evernote email address where it's automatically imported.

The main reason I haven't moved away from Evernote is because I want access to my files on all my devices and at any possible moment, and I want the service I use to outlive me. Evernote so far hasn't failed on either of these promises (though the latter does possibly worry me)

It seems like cheap thought but he tries to present it like it's deep insight.

And in 2008/09, people probably didn't want to buy from a bankrupt GM because it's hard to get spare parts from bankrupt car manufacturers. At least for the common definition of bankrupt (i.e. shuttered).
How my calculations are loose if it is the numbers you have stated in your post? The rest is just a consequence.
Aside from wrapping applications with Firejail, I would also recommend setting up AppArmor[1] or SELinux in enforce mode, as most Linux distributions do not do that by default[2].

Things will break from time to time until you modify the default profiles, and you will need to write profiles for applications that do not ship with one by default, but it is worth the time you spent.

[1] A MAC just like SELinux, but with easier syntax. It is the default on Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSUSE, and others.

[2] I think Fedora does enforce SELinux by default, though.
So do you expect to send the army in in Punjab like 1990s Kashmir? Why was Modi’s handpicked LTG Murmu suddenly transferred when he came out in favor of restoring 4G? You have to have a plan to restore it, even your SC says so, you can’t just gazette new ordinance every day and do “the beatings will continue until morale improves”

freetrade in the UK might be worth looking at for an example of a business trying to repair their brand.

They basically said they were deeply sorry, didn't try to cover up and blamed their bank and clearinghouse.

I think I'd argue that it was a good idea. This isn't me linking to that from my blog that gets 100 views to a post. This is the NY Times linking to that. Love them or hate them, them linking to something will get attention, and I would bet that attention will lead to changes.
Meh. 7% allocation. Like most charitable efforts by companies, optics first, generosity much further down the list.
From memory (my 25 year old psychology degree which I clearly misremembered previously), the point of 45 minutes is that it gets you to just before the deep sleep cycle. If you can wake up naturally and alert at around that time mark then you've got the complete light sleep part of the cycle.
> explain to me why DisplayPort 2.0 provides up to 77Gbps of bandwidth?

At the risk of being called a ludite or a peasant, may I suggest most people don't actually care that much about reaching the height of visual fidelity, at least in this aspect?

The reality is this same argument could be made against any kind of video streaming. But the reality is that people are pretty satisfied with the fidelity that video encoders can produce. Yes, it will always be inferior in several respects to the uncompressed, ~33Gbps 3840x2160@60hz your local rig can push out, but will it be a deal breaker for everyone, or even most people? I don't think so, personally.
When it comes to government, equal treatment for all individuals in society is the only ethical method

Im sure you or I can tell a huge difference between 240hz and 60hz. How can other people not notice? Or 10-bit or higher color? Maybe people don’t yet know what they are missing, but when they do, Stadia won’t be competitive.
Shopify needs a satisfaction guarantee like PayPal. I mean you can use PayPal but the biggest risk here is fraud.
Moving tooling is Hard, and the OSS stuff frankly sucks in comparison.

Give the Affinity [1] suite a serious look. It's not Photoshop or Illustrator, but for many users it really is a functional alternative and much of the tooling works similarly enough that it's usable (unlike much of the OSS stuff which just gets maddening). Pricing is also very sane.

What's this madness of driving a car that you cannot afford to repair out of pocket?

I understand paying for mandatory liability insurance, since you might hit a Bugatti Veyron and do damage far surpassing your net worth. But I have no idea why would someone pay 10% of the vehicle cost per year to cover repairs to their own vehicle due to their own driving mistakes. How about... they drive a cheaper vehicle until they learn how to drive?
> So if this not a protest against the farm bill, they should drop the facade then.

The protest is against the farm Bill, which is seen as a further act of oppression against minority groups, from a government formed to serve only Hindu India. The agriculture industry in India is dominated by minorities, mainly Sikhs, and mainly Punjabis. The aggrieved parties here see this as an act of economic oppression, and if you want to make sense of the controversy, you have to view it in the broader context of Indian history, especially wrt everything that’s happened in the post-partition period. Tanks rolling up to the golden temple is still a very fresh memory for a lot of these protestors.
Cloud gaming is actually far worse than the idea sounds like.

From the surface, cloud gaming is absolutely a fantastic idea, I.e., it removes a series of barriers of playing high end games: cost of hardware, convenience, subscription bases consumption to remove upfront cost.

However, in close examination, it becomes clear that high end game is costly not because these above mentioned barriers. On the contrary, these barriers are part of the structure to support the high end games.

Additionally, the modern high end gaming experience entirely depends on the exclusive ownership of costly computing power. The hidden foundation that supports that comouting power is the low cost local communication networks. And we all know that wide area communication is always more expensive than computing. So for any large scale cloud gaming, the underlying economy is that it's always more cost-effective of having local hardware.

A flat demand profile is definitely not normal. Do i really need to explain that the rest of the country doesn’t have same weather as California...
Actually, I prefer looking up and down over looking left and right. So for me it is normal to have the upper monitor way above my eye level.
"Natenberg: Option volatility and Pricing" I guess. Very instructive, but I have a slight preference for the Hull. They are both rather old but well explained. They give a very good starting point.
I think this is spot on. Wealth gives you power that you can use to protect that wealth and thus the endless cycle begins.

It's not that hard to build a system where everyone benefits. However, it's even easier to build a system where special interests benefit the most because they are the ones who are in charge after all.
I was making the gamble that people who compulsively ask "Will it make me better off?" without having read the article are not yet at the point where they've hit the diminishing returns on additional knowledge.

Your statement is correct though, username checks out as well.
I really, really, really wish other platforms would embrace the same concept. We (Sentry) have added support for the same concept for other platforms but sadly there is not a lot of uptick in the general Linux community to start producing indexed debug symbols repositories.

A personal experience is a fact. It is a fact we can be pretty sure of, and we know the context of that fact. Obviously, once we extrapolate from that experienced fact, it becomes bias.

A fact that is not a personal experience is difficult to trust. Even if I trust the source of that fact, I am often not sure if I understand the fact properly. Anyone who has ever tried to understand a math theorem might relate.

It is entirely rational to trust more in your personal bias. In fact, I would argue that the only way to trust a fact is to make it somehow into something that you can personally experience. For example, to understand a math theorem, it helps to look at lots of different kinds of examples where it holds (and where it doesn't).
> What size monitors are those? I use a pair of 24" 4K monitors in roughly the same configuration as yours. 27" would definitely be too tall.

They're 24", like yours. It sounds like our setups are actually nearly identical: the top of my horizontal monitor is also just below my eye height, and I spend most of my time looking at the middle of the vertical one. I should probably move them around a bit so I can actually look at the vertical one without turning my head, though.

> With your horizontal monitor sitting so close to the desk, I have to wonder if your seating position may be too low? Are your forearms horizontal when typing? (Forgive me if I'm being nosy or presumptuous, just curious.)

I appreciate it! I think my seating is right, at least based on what I was taught about ergonomics -- my forearms are horizontal and I don't have to pivot my wrists up or down while typing or moving my mouse.
If you did not read the books, Japan was for America a bigger boogeyman than the Union, and Ben Ladin combined by late eighties.

It lead to an incredible economic, and political pressure US put on Japan, which culminated in US forcing Japan into Plaza accords, and the three Japanese lost decades which followed.
I never thought about this. Also, I find it depressing.

Basically my browser needs to "keep watching some YouTube stream", so an attacker can't figure out that I switched to reading emails.
Pandemic also brought more wealth inequality. Tourism, restaurants, brick and mortar shops, malls, theaters, airlines, etc. are affected by no malicious cause but because of the virus. The wealthy class did not cause this.

While, I think the wealthy should be heavily taxed and poverty must be abolished, I don't want to live in a world where there is zero wealth inequality. Also, wealth is not a zero sum game.
UBI is the wrong tool to solve inequality because there is already an existing tool for that. It's called inflation.
I used to be unable to nap. However, sometimes I'd feel nappish, and just fake it. Close your eyes, slow your breathing, focus your attention on the sound of your breath. After 20 minutes, get up. That never failed for me.

I'm a bit older now, and I can actually fall asleep in midday naps. Sometimes. But I still feel energized after a nap, sleep or no.

For nighttime, I refuse to fail to sleep. When I start yawning, it's my bedtime, and I'm out like a light. If I try to sleep but I'm still bored 10 minutes in, it's not time yet. I've learned that if I try for an hour, I'll still be trying come morning.
In my experience, AWS tends to price things high to begin with and then lower the price with time rather than risking underpricing a thing. I can imagine that support costs can be quiet high with a service like this.

What We Learned from Tracking Cycling Deaths for a Year
If you’re talking specifically about the drive train, that’s one thing. But the reliability of electrical components will likely not come close to approaching 30 years. That’s especially relevant in cars that combine everything into a single display and everything is electrically controlled. The old school vice grip solution to roll down windows won’t work with most new cars :-)

There are anecdotes of displays costing $7k, and designed for planned obsolescence after 5-7 years. Ironically, this is the same timeframe where the car depreciation makes a stronger case for buying a new vehicle rather than paying that kind of money on fixing an older one. Point being, I don’t think we can plan on a 30 year EV life anymore than we can count on using the same personal computer for decades.
Let’s say you are at a family reunion and want to play a game of baseball with everyone. Is it “fair” to have the same rules for the 6 year old child and the 25 year old who used to play on his high school baseball team? More likely you would tweak the rules a little or pitch a little slower to the kid so everyone has fun and can fully participate.

Sometimes fairness means leveling the playing field so everyone can compete equally.
well I mostly work remotely, and I have a reputation as someone who can get stuff done reliably.

When I was last in an office full time, commuting on the train a few years ago I'd usually be the first in my team to arrive, and then first to leave - basically trying to do 7:30 to 4 but I'd generally be pretty useless for the last couple of hours of the day.

Followed by a nap on the train.
Cool photos.
I thought one has to still buy/rent games on top of the $5/month. $5 is only the fee for renting “cloud hardware” - May be some games are included, but definitely not comparable to a Netflix for games. I guess it more like a Disney- ?
You are assuming present day lasers. An advanced civilization will individually control the photons.

You also don't really need atom resolution anyway. You can build mechanical computers driven by rolling stones by abblating matter with powerful beams - lithography on continent size scale, etc.
I found that hanging out the laundry was a great way to nail down a tricky problem I'd been struggling with.
> You can be outraged at two things at the same time.

Sure, but what they choose to be outraged about can be telling. You see so many people talking about “apartheid” in Israel, but almost no one complaining about modern day slavery in the Gulf States. Your typical American has no reason to be more “outraged” about one than the other. The fact that one is vastly more prominent in the public consciousness speaks volumes.
This is why skew exists, and should not deter anyone. The vast majority of people should buy a 20-30% dip, and so the fact that 99% of the time you're not going to be assigned means that it's a good idea in most scenarios.

I suggest most retail to be short straddles against a core underlying position for yield enhancement. Yes, over a number of decades you will have something go against you, but under the current monetary and fiscal regimes, you should be hoping for the day that you can buy the dip or sell the rip via a systemic short vol overlay.
I don't know but it seems like the more reliable businesses in Europe to use have higher fees or monthly charges...
The bill was public. It was debated for a while, and anyone could have read it during that period if they chose to. There was none of the here is a 5000 page bill and you must pass it in 2 hours or the economy goes under like happens in the US Congress. They not only took the farmers into confidence, they took the opinions of the farmers into consideration and amended the bill. Each individual substantive line item being demanded by the protesters is already included in the bill. The bill literally cannot harm any actual farmer. It will prevent certain bureaucrats and politicians from receiving bribes from the buyers of produce and as a result will likely increase what the farmers receive by the amount of the bribe paid. They can quite literally only get MORE for produce than they get now, the bill obligates the government to guarantee this.
If anybody knows how to forcibly override the "pixels per mm" reported by a monitor, you will be my hero forever.

Every solution I've found so far (including the QT/GTK environment variables for overriding DPI) ends up instead causing scaling during compositing, rather than getting the apps to rasterize their fonts at the correct size in the first place. The worst offenders are anything derived from Chromium (i.e. qutebrowser, who say the problem is a QtWebEngine bug that they can't fix).

I'm using sway, but almost all the Wayland compositors lack this override-the-monitor-reported-DPI functionality, because (for good reason) their philosophy is to securely multiplex the hardware, not abstract it away. They just pass through whatever values the monitor reports, to the client.

IMHO this does not make sense for physical pixel size, because it disregards the physical distance between the user's face and the pixels. What you really want to size your fonts based on is the number of arc-radians (or arc-degrees) per pixel, measured at the user's eyeball. In order to compute that you need to know both the physical pixel size (which can be queried from the device) and the physical eyeball-screen distance (which will need to be user-configurable).
> This is also when you will tend to be charging because you are home and done driving for the day.

In absence of demand-based pricing and clever "when will you need the car again?"-UI (both are necessary to see an effective load spread) all the cars from evening rush hour will meet again for evening rush hour 2, the grid edition, during supper and immediately after. At the time of nighttime overcapacity most will already be on sustain trickle.
