Yes, those are yearly figures for an all-in subscription (no paywalls on their site, daily paper, weekend edition, access to all apps). And they are in range of what you'd expect. I just checked the current subscription price for the NYT. Where I live, it would set me back EUR 715 yearly. I compared that to one of the big newspapers in my country, a similar all-in would cost me EUR 480 (that's USD 580) yearly.

You'd think that's expensive, until you start to dig into the economics of running a modern newspaper. The operational side is massive and complex. There's the newsfloor (NYT employed 1.300 staff writers in 2016), digital infrastructure to maintain and evolve and logistics for actually printing and distributing of paper, and so on and so on.
Actually, some microcomputers (apart from bare board micros) had the option to use a TV as a monitor in the early days.
I pay €2 a week for a digital NYT subscription.

Yes that's correct, it's why Bluestore was created in the first place.
Cash crops such as soy that are a mainstay in vegan diets? What do you think most of the cows eat before they're slaughtered for your lunch? A five year Oxford University study done on 38,700 farms showed that if everyone in the world switched to a plant based diet, we would be able to reduce agricultural land by 76% [1].

> A subscription to the NYT cost >$500/year? Who the hell pays that much for a newspaper?

Eh? That's less than $1.50 a day?

That's how much it used to cost to get it delivered to your door daily.
There certainly are some valid use cases. But the current usefulness/energy consumption ratio is pretty dreadful, and from my point of view it's future is not looking very good either.
If energy was free, then who cares; otherwise I think it's legitimate to question whether the valid use cases of a few thousand people (total shot in the dark here, numbers appreciated) is worth using the same amount of electricity as Argentina, a country with 45M people.
Afaik you can also detect images that are present for a millisecond (eg white screen with one black frame at 1000fps).

This process happens after the primal cuts are removed.

I guess it's basically the modern "industrialised" alternative to the more traditional use of the carcass after those cuts are removed, which would be to break it down and boil them to make stock.

People keep buying heavier cars and the average weight goes up over time. It's the market version of "preference"; people might say they prefer it but they choose more features most of the time.
That argument makes no sense. If I said that the more unleaded petrol is available, the more likely it is to be adopted by average people, would it remind you of margarine too? Should we go back to leaded petrol? Or coca-cola with cocaine in it?

If you're into that niche, it's great value for money. But even with those prices, FT still runs ads on their pages.

Similarly in one party system, system of power is even weaker. That's why it resorts to locking up journalists and has to resort to violence against public bit more often than two party system does.

Also power comes from the people in single party system as well. They are the one who build economy and meaningfully secure their own environments through various non-obvious systems.

Single party system wouldn't be that strong without people just going about their business and building up wealth for the government to reasonably exploit.

Parties are not the same. They can't be. But both taken together along with the systems that they interact through they can be seen as single entity. And relations of this single entity with the rest of society are not that different from relations between single party system and country it rules. Any differences come from the fact that two party system has stronger grip and more stability thanks to delivering one thing that people need and single party systems are struggling to credibly provide, and enemy to hate.
I guess you missed last week's UK's FCO leaks by the Anonymous (or whomever really leaked/hacked the document cache).

Reuters (and even the BBC !) have been getting paid regularly by an UK MI6/Foreign Office psyops operation to distribute their propaganda for ten years at least, after bidding on and winning secret tenders.

It seems there are no "non-state" large media organisations anymore anywhere. Free, objective and independent media is starting to be as much of a sham in the west as elsewhere... disgusting...
Paying a subscription for a single article is not worth it, and that's purely on monetary cost and not even accounting for the time it takes to fill the subscription form and then to cancel (and some newspapers make it extremely difficult to cancel).

If there was a universal system where people could pay ~1$ in one click without having to fill in a form or provide any personal data (to reduce the risk of spam), I'm sure most people would happily pay.

On the other hand, for a single product that you use significantly (like a social network) it makes sense to pay a subscription as opposed to having your time, attention and privacy compromised by ads.

Another interpretation is that Italy historically had run its economy on the basis of periodically devaluing the currency to maintain international competitiveness. Not the "correct" way to do things but it worked for them.

Joining the Euro stopped Italy from devaluing but they didn't change the way they ran their economy (for good reasons - doing so would have been very very hard) to avoid the need to devalue coming again; and 2008 was the first time this bit them.

This drives up prices in the capital region, because people can't conceive and consequently don't create secondary centers to avoid the issue of land value.

You don't need the slightly racist comment, biggest problem imho is that house ownership is very low in berlin (last time I read about it was around only 15% of people live on their owned houses) and really hard to change that. You have to think that everytime you're looking at buying a place you're competing with Blackrock, Deutsche Wohne and other not so nice funds with much more room for negotiation than you. That's why even if you and your partner makes top 10% salary you're probably not rich enough to own a house.

And on top of that germany has very strict laws about transparency of home ownership so there's no clear way to know the distribution of home ownership or who are the biggest landlords and where they got their money from. Which is bad because there's a lot of shady people buying whole complexes, but it's also working as intended as a lot of politicians are also big landlords.

All of my academic computer science instruction was done in C. I was going to mention this in a response to one of the above comments regarding the pedagogical value of Python: I don't feel that taking onboard the concerns that come with programming in C (such as memory management) really made learning about computer science's fundamental algorithms and abstract data structures any easier. Many of the abstract data structures in question, such as trees and hash-maps, when practically implemented are dependent on an understanding of pointers that makes C an ideal pedagogical tool in at least one aspect.

I don't think it's really practical for every scenario. I still think it's a great tool for teaching students about many aspects of how a modern computer, or operating-system functions. You definitely won't get far in gaining a holistic understanding of any modern operating-system without understanding C.
Yes it’s true. Kinetic energy is never exactly zero, that’s called zero-point energy. Perfect stillness does not exist at the atomic scale. It would involve knowing perfectly both positions and velocities (in case of atoms, the equivalent is true for spins).

I'm shocked!

I removed everything from my gmail/google account about year ago: I left it on 'cause of I am not 100% sure I can remove my email (maybe left in some other places, some banks... ).

I just entered it again and found a lot of new privacy settings... and a lot of my old data :(

I did the take out and .... boom... a whole bunch of my data popped up... a LOT ...

I'm soooo mad... we'll do again what I did in the past.. I will remove little by little everything...

but, one consideration

did this data appears just because I am in Europe and google had to do it because of the EU GDPR privacy law?
A heavier car feels more planted in relaxed everyday driving, less affected by NVH, more isolated from road imperfections and wind. The suspension will also be designed for a larger mass, so the added mass of people and freight changes the feel of the car less, as it is a smaller percentage of the car's own mass.

A heavy car is objectively worse when looking at handling, fuel economy, road wear, general pollution and crash safety, but greater mass feels safer and sturdier. If an object is very light, it subjectively feels less strong, even though it may not be.

Car purchases are very emotionally driven and buyers choose what feels best to them, even if it is objectively worse on many parameters.

For a non-car example, I prefer riding my relatively heavy 3-speed Dutch-style bicycle to my old aluminum-framed 8-speed sporty citybike, even though the latter is objectively faster, turns more crisply and has a better gear range. Simply because the heavier bike is less perturbed over bumps and the wider tires soak up imperfections better.

> It seems exhaustive enough though, and so far I’m inclined to think they aren’t distorting facts

If you read the appeal court judgement summary, you will see that they are actually heavily distorting facts.

You are notably missing these parts:

- the publisher asked them for GM copies in order to publish, don't seem to contest that the IP is owned by Frogwares and the part about the other studio seems to be mostly paranoid non sense;

- Frogwares is unhappy about the amount of royalties they are paid, thinks the costs of distribution are inflated by Nacon but didn't properly trigger the contract audit close;

- Frogwares is extremely unhappy about the Epic store launch and seems to think they should have got more money despite actually failing to deliver on the contractualy agreed date;

- Frogwares went over their publisher to have the game delisted from distribution plateformes in a total breach of contract;

- Frogwares terminated the contract for a spurious motif (failure to justify costs of distribution in a month) which was never part of said contracts

- publisher never claimed that French COVID regulations precluded the contract termination, only that the contract termination was illegal which it was shown to be.

The whole thing is far from one sided.
I'm happy to pay for subscriptions on sites I know bring value to me over time.

Due to the full deductibility, the common narrative became: if you're in the top tax bracket, the state pays more than half your mortgate interest

That’s not how it works in Denmark. Here, interest deduction come in the form of increased personal allowance (ie. the annual income bracket below which you pay no taxes), which favor high and low income earners equally. I’m surprised that isn’t also the case in The Netherlands. Are you sure it’s not?
Nice! Straight to the reading list ...
It definitely is dead.

There are 168,000 gas stations in the US. Supported by a huge network of oil fields, pipelines, and refineries.

There are now 26,000 EV charging stations open to the public. In addition, there are literally billions of wall outlets that can be used to charge EVs. All supported by hundreds if not thousands of generating stations and an enormous power transmission network.

There are hundreds of natural gas (LNG + CNG) stations.

Given that existing multi-trillion dollar infrastructure, what would the business plan for building out hydrogen look like?
I haven't heard that either, but I have read that the batteries at the bottom give the car a lower center of mass which can be a good thing in curves from my understanding, but that's different from just a "heavier feeling" which I don't see why anyone would prefer that.

At the moment, interest rate on morgages are low enough that tax deduction doesn't make a big difference, in addition, The Netherlands has a special tax for living in your own house (fake income due to not paying rent), so these cancel each other out to some extent.

The biggest issue at the moment is the shortage of house in most parts of The Netherlands. So people max out what they can spend on a house, and certainly with low interest rate that amount to quite a lot.

As to fiscal reforms, at moment you get only a percentage of the interest you pay back, not the percentage of your highest income bracket. In addition, load need to be paid back in 30 years (linear or annuity) otherwise you don't get the tax credit.

[(edit) one addition, it is interesting that in The Netherlands, the more right wing, conservative parties want to keep this tax deduction the most, the left wing parties want to get rid of it]
But it's a daily Newspaper, that's a bit less than 1.50$ per day for a lot of written paper. (Some online magazines charge that per article...) I would go for that if I just read daily news from one source. Instead I have a varying number of subscriptions, nowadays mostly digital.
It's questionable whether a lot of substack writers give you more quality access than the entire newsroom at the NYT, WSJ, or similar newspapers, where a lot of substack writers still contribute.

I think the high fees on substack, like on patreon have another reason. It creates a weird parasocial relationship between the creator and the reader that gives the reader the feeling that they have contributed to a cause, or has some personal relationship with the author they support, and so on.

In that way it seems to me more similar to twitch streamers who often extract huge sums of money from their donors, when objectively the viewer gets more content out of a 10$ streaming subscription.

The main thing anyone starting needs to realize is that it takes quite a bit of time to get used to how Quads fly in Acro/Rate mode. I started on a simulator (Liftoff) with an XBox pad and that was super punishing as gentle and precise control is needed. Switching to a proper radio was a night and day difference. I'd guess it took 5-10 hours of flying time to get to the point where I could comfortably go where I wanted 99% of the time. I'm up to 50 hours of sim time now and flinging the things around with wild abandon. Looking forward to summer and getting out to try the real thing.

My recommendation for starting out would be to grab a cheap radio that is easy to connect to a PC and a copy of a simulator.

Is it? Up until now most devs still go with 16 or even 8 GB laptops. 32GB laptops are far between (Macs or not), and much fewer people use desktops...

And we used to run Vmware with Windows (on Linux) or Linux (on Windows) in 2005 just fine, on laptops with a couple GB at best...

Dozens of devs I know in a company I work with have 8GB Macs (and 2-3 years old at that), and run Vagrant and Docker with no issue. And those are mostly Airs with shared GPU too...

I think people with 32GB laptops hugely overestimate how many other devs also are on 32GB...
