Yes, a solution, but it is not the same. Ex: would you download an app for an airport, or would you rather just scan a qr, load a page, get a notification when it's tine to board, and don't have have an app on your phone again? Same with museums, festivals, concerts, etc. A balance can be struck, but Apple blocks it outright (or even just implement a subset of an API to say they 'support it' while it's unusable (ex: IndexedDb)).
This is precisely the point I made in my comment [1]. The lack of a C++ API is a huge let down in every Blender release.

I have such a horror story of Amazon losing a Snowball that had to only travel 17 miles. Would not recommend.
Malls can definitely obtain natural lighting if architected properly (eg sky lights and light pipes) -- malls are no different than other commercial offices.

For example: I used to work at GoogleX's "San Antonio station", which was a converted shopping mall, and it had great lighting, even on lower floors.

With multiple employers in same building, you'd also have many more socializing options -- including random colleagues who drop by to run errands.

Besides, what would you suggest instead -- let them turn into suburban blight?!
That's my experience as well - I had it 17 years ago, was very ill for weeks, but recovered and haven't had any problems since (but am no longer exposed to risk of new infections). However, it used to be that in the US you could donate blood if you had seen a doctor and been symptom-free for 3 years. It's now a lifetime ban.
So perhaps there's new evidence it's not so simple?

Edit: Or there just aren't many donors who have had malaria, so they err on the side of safety.
I don't care for cancel culture, too. That doesn't mean we can be selective about who and what we spend our limited time on Earth discussing. Not talking about a pathologically lying conspiracy theorist is good for efficiency and mental health. To each their own.

The people shorting malls have already made out like bandits. Mall operators are very close to bankruptcy. Macerich down 85% in the past five years, Simon down 70%, Alexander Baldwin down 70%...it is already over. Once these places lose their main tenant, it all shuts down.

You haven't been hearing it twenty years either. Some people were putting on this trade in the early 2010s but this trade really picked up around 2018/19, when it became apparent that the situation was irreparable. Before that point, the "smart trade" was long malls...most of these people got wiped out (Bill Ackman more than once in TGT than JCP, Lampert in Sears...the trade that worked in 2004 went to zero by 2014).

You can also look at countries which have higher online share of retail, they are further down this path. In the UK, these places are just being boarded up (retail parks, what you would call strip malls in the US are thriving however). One mall near me with tens of units traded for $200k, that was worth $10m a few years ago. The largest mall operator (which owns almost all the top 20 largest malls) is in BK.

But the easy money has been made. Yesterday's news. The money is in redeveloping/converting these places into mixed-use and offices.
My previous startup (~2014) had a similar problem: PBs of data, with millions of mixed clients accessing it at close to real-time speeds. The biggest difference is that we needed to do real-time processing before delivering the content. We needed storage capacity balanced with CPU and RAM.

We ended up buying lots of Supermicro's ultra dense servers [1]. That's a 3U box, containing 24 servers that are interconnected with internal switches (think: 1 box is a self-contained mini cloud). Each server has (cheap config) 1 CPU 4 Xeon cores, 32GB ram, 4TB disk.

Those were bought & hosted in China, and IIRC price tag was around $20k USD per box. That's 96TB per 3U, or >1.2PB and ~$200k per rack. We had a lot of racks in multiple datacenters. These days capacity can be much larger, e.g.: 6TB disk, 144TB per 3U and >1.8PB per rack.

We've tried Ceph, GlusterFS, HDFS, even early versions of Citus, and pretty much everything that existed and was maintain during that time. We eventually settled on Cassandra. It required 2 people to maintain the software, and 1 for the hardware.

Today, I would have done the same hardware setup, mainly because I haven't had 1 Supermicro component fail on me since I bought them first in early 2000s. Cassandra would've been replaced by FoundationDB. I've been using FoundationBD for awhile now, and it just works: zero maintenance, incredible speeds, multi datacenter replication, etc.

Alternatively, if I needed storage without processing, but with fast access, I'd probably go with Supermicro's 4U 90 bay pods [2]. That'd be 90*16TB, 1.4PB in 4U, or ~14PB per rack. And FoudnationDB, no doubt.

As a fun aside: back then, we also tried Kinetic Ethernet Attached Storage [3]. Great idea but what a pain in the rear it was. We did however have a very early access device. No idea if it's still in production or not.

>if we could remove the human element and replace it with infallible decision making AI would it improve sport?

Probably for some sports and for some elements of other sports. I've thought about this in regards to an umpire's strike zone in baseball. If the strike zone were the same every single time, this might tip the scales in one direction (probably batters). Let's say it advantaged offense even moreso, do higher scoring games make better sport, or are they more enjoyable to watch?

I dont know, but personally I've always enjoyed the slightly random element of the strike zone.
In my travels around the U.S., I encountered many institutions helping the disadvantaged, and almost all of them were religious, mostly Christian or spiritual. I don't know any other organization or entity feeding, clothing, listening, aiding those who need it, day in and day out, giving time and effort and resources without expecting anything in return. No photo ops or social media posts.

With Christianity supposedly in decline, especially in tech, how will we replace it?
What a cool fact. The first thing that jumps into my mind for solving this would be the Schur Complement [1], which gives a way of computing the determinant of a block matrix in terms of its components. This would give us a formula where we could express the determinant of block matrix as

det([[A, B], [C, D]]) = det(A) det(D - CA^{-1}B)

If we let A be the matrix of size n-1 by n-1, it seems like this would reduce to a statement about a sum of products of binomial coefficients equaling some other binomial coefficient. Not sure if there's a deeper reason though.

At the professional level, urban planners meet confidentially with developers and figure out how to make projects happen. What you see is what money wants to do. The professional urban planner's job is to generate economic development. Theories live in the academy.
Not being a random key, it’s not precisely a “search space”, but to your point, from the article: “the difficulty of factoring 2047-bit keys is only marginally lower than that for full 2048-bits”.

Why? That would that be a ridiculously impractical recommendation (do we even have the capacity to run millions of full panel blood tests a week?) and completely useless for detecting the problems people are worried about. TTS[1] isn’t something subtle you need a blood test for.

Not at all, there are a lot of people commuting 100+ miles per day in EV’s here in CA. A lot of people have mega-commutes because housing is so expensive. An EV gives you access to HOV lanes, which can cut commute times in half. And, you can charge at home while you sleep and never again waste even a minute at a gas pump.
How about 1920s? It's not clear how far it went.

I would enjoy coding without having to run an X server but haven't done so because Vim and Emacs learning curves turned me off. Micro is great but still needs config adjustments so it feels familiar. I tried to bundle these into one repository.

Genuine question- have you found winter temps to be much of an issue in terms of range loss?
Ok, apparently for this situation to be livable you not only have to be healthy AND the weather has to be good (you don't go on a walk with kids every day when it's 100 degrees out or when it's blizzard of rain), you also have to have plenty of time for daily walks :)

Again, my point is, for most people, in most circumstances, 1km is a borderline unreasonable walk, and 2km is absolutely unreasonable and not "walkable" in any way. Sure, for some people in very special circumstances (and climates, or times of year) it might work out, but that is not a good basis for policy.

Also frankly it's just an inferior quality of life when your walk is to the grocery store thru dense burbs... I happen to have 2 large-ish parks nearby so I walk there, but not every day and in any case neither is on the way to any grocery store. I would never just walk around the neighborhood - instead, if both were 1km away, I'd drive to a park or a hike if I had to... then drive to a grocery store.
Partially because people may feel like something is not right. Like seeing a face without a nose. It can feel creepy.

The Tesla model 3 has a weird looking front end that can be off putting to some people. The model S seems a little more familiar.

EU pedestrian crash regulations push manufacturers toward having a crush zone in front and that area can look bland if there aren’t some visual detailing across it.
The J1772 ports we have in the United States are basically just 110 or 220 volts with a fancy plug and an electronic handshake. I could bring an "EVSE" with me that can plug into a regular 110 or 220v electrical outlet, but finding an electrical outlet near where I want to park is probably more difficult than finding a J1772 charge port, unless I'm visiting someone's house.

The "charger" terminology is especially confusing, since technically there is a part called the charger that goes in the car -- it converts external AC power to DC at the voltage needed to charge the battery. The chargers normally installed in conversions aren't typically capable of charging quickly. The charger I'm looking at [1] maxes out at 3KW, which could charge a 27kwh battery in about 9 hours. If I spend the money to get a second charger to run in parallel, I could get that down to 4.5 hours.

Solar doesn't really work for long trips; the power you get is just too low. I'm in favor of solar panels being installed on EVs generally, as it would reduce the amount of power you draw when you charge, especially if you only drive a few miles a day on average. It just isn't a solution to the range problem unless you're willing to wait a long time to charge (like weeks) and/or manually deploy a giant solar array any time you stop like Mark Watney.

This conversion car I think just won't be a road trip car, and that's okay. Maybe eventually aftermarket batteries and chargers will improve to the point where I can plausibly install a 200-mile range battery with a half-hour 80% charge capability and keep the whole battery pack under four or five hundred pounds.

What I find more interesting than referee bias is the loss of the home field advantage. The influence of the home fans on the home team can give them that extra push, or intimidate the away team just enough to make them just that split second off their normal play.

If you trust Macy's and you don't trust Bloomingdale's then just keep shopping at Macy's. There's no need for you to ban Bloomingdale's for everyone else. A store and the vehicle I drive to get their shouldn't be tied. Imagine buying a car from Apple and it only being able to drive to Apple licenses stores.

Apple can still have the App Store and most users will still only use it. (see Google Play). Banning other stores does zero for Apple and their customers. All it does is ban competition.

If you continue to only use the App store from your POV nothing will have changed. You'll still get the same trusted experience.
I think you’ve misunderstood. One team cannot have a long change by themselves.

After a certain size, AWS et al simply don't make sense, unless you have infinitely deep pockets. For storage that you pull from, AWS et al charge bandwidth costs. These costs are non-trivial for non-trivial IO. I worked up financial operational models for one of my previous employers, when were were looking at costs of remaining on S3 and using it, versus rolling it into our own DCs. The download costs, the DC space, staff, etc. was far less per year (and the download cost is a 1 time cost) than the cold storage costs.

Up to about 1PB with infrequent use, AWS et al might be better. When you look at 10-100PB and beyond (we were at 500PB usable or so last I remembered) the costs are strongly biased towards in-house (or in-DC) vs cloud. That is, unless you have infinitely deep pockets.
I prefer a situational policy:

* Branch can be reduced to a single, coherent commit: squash + rebase

* Branch can be reduced to a single commit plus one or two unrelated fixup commits (like formatting): rebase

* Multiple commits: merge

But that requires value judgement and can lead to discussions, so it's not ideal for many teams.

Of course then there are also a lot of companies that use Jira as their primary source of history, where most commits are just "Fix ABC-123". For those it really doesn't matter much what you do to the Git history anywway.

No doubt the indigenous Americans had it bad, to put it mildly, but reading the accounts of early colonization efforts in that book, I mean, damn. Wave after wave of colonists, each losing 50+% in the first year (and it’s not like the survivors stopped dying then). For years on end, across multiple colonies. Mostly to disease.
I don’t know why this downvoted. Great excerpt from peak 90s album. In the broader context, Americans aren’t finding what they want in malls today but the dissatisfaction has been brewing for younger non baby boomer generations.
what box is that?
The circulation of a business's customers is regarded as a toxic impact to nearby housing. There is a decent amount of mixed zoning, actually, for businesses that rarely or never have customers visit in person.

So these days maybe malls are a perfect fit!
I agree with a lot of this VW seems to have done the “let’s rethink everything,” but much less successfully than Tesla. Not surprising giving their generations-long corporate legacy.

I’m kinda interested in the Nissan Arya, because it looks like they are trying to learn from the Leaf and make it attractive to not-terribly-into-EV buyers. It just looks like a very nice semi-luxury that has been engineered to be an EV, without rubbing it in your face that it’s an EV.

Most big garages, unless built recently, probably don't have the power required to make a substantial amount of spots with chargers, and parking garages are generally so optimized it's hard to run more.

I know that at my work, which is in a fairly modern office building meeting all the latest hotness in LEED and whatever, there are basically just a handful of spots with electric and there is so much demand for those spots that you're not allowed to park there for more than two hours at a time.

---

Parking has the double whammy of being entirely an expense, and possibly being outmoded. If you buy the electric autonomous fantasy of people no longer owning cars and relying on Uber-like shared fleets, that basically makes the vast majority of parking spaces obsolete, and so developers understandably are trying to make their parking lots easy to tear down and redevelop. (You can't really reuse the sloped floor plates of a parking garage for much else since all other building uses tend to need flat ground, and in any case the runoff from parked vehicles is quite nasty stuff.

Author here; a narrower way to express what I meant:

A frontend developer who wants to put a map in their application and wants control over the hosting and data faces some obstacles when using MBtiles:

* Need a virtual machine and disk space

* Need to choose a particular program to read the MBTiles and serve it via HTTP

* Might need reverse proxy and service monitor (systemd or sysv init) to keep it running 24/7

* Need to deal with SSL termination

The popularity of serverless platforms = evidence there's a strong market for delivering software without all of this.
yup here they keep building more malls and all i hear is malls are dying... they build a mall almost in the middle of no where and yet its still busy. Just recently they built a mall next to a busy mall...

Are you sure about this? I thought the J&J 1 in a million number was deaths, from cerebral venous sinus thrombosis blood clots? Isn't that why they paused this vaccine?

There are many other kinds of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, etc). During J&J FDA trials they found a 50% increase in blood clots of any type in the vaccinated group [0], which they did not consider statistically significant at the time (20k people, 15 versus 10 blood clots in the unvacinated group). That might be an increased 1 in 4k risk of a blood clot from the vaccine, with the fatal ones being 1 in a million so far.

I don't understand this argument. You are using car and store but apple isn't selling a phone and an app store, it's selling you the Apple experience (and my understanding is that is literally how apple thinks about it), and if you don't like it, you can easily buy one of the many android phones.

> Banning other stores does zero for Apple and their customers.

I don't think this is true at all. Apple gets to retain all apps on the app store despite implementing a very unpopular with business but pro consumer policy like privacy labels. With multiple app stores, the apps might vote on a different store, and all of a sudden as a comsumer, I have to install 20 different app stores to get the full set of apps I want.

> Banning other stores does zero for Apple and their customers.

If you can't come up with 3 good faith explanations of why a closed app store is good, then you're not critically thinking about the situation or responding in good faith.

3 reason's a locked down app store is bad:
- Ties the apps closer to the OS creating a form of vendor lock in for both consumers and app makers
- I can't fully utilize my device, it comes limited in specific ways.
- Gives apple too much power over apps, especially apps it directly competes with.

Your argument is that there's no good faith explanation for a closed app store being better. If you can't think of any, that is a failure of yours, not a failure of Apples. Once you make a list of pros and cons, you realize that there are pros and cons and that someone might actually choose one set of limitations even if you philosophically don't agree with it.

Sent my kid to a small Catholic school for 8 years. One teacher sucked but the rest were fantastic. Chose the school as the wee ones looked happy and upbeat and not beaten down by the staff. Academics were OK. I spent a LOT of time helping him with homework. My kid is now in a Jesuit high school. Chose that one as I liked their philosophy of educating the whole person. Academics is at college level. I like the staff who are mostly young and enthusiastic.
