It's less about sympathy than about how you structure a justice system if you don't want more crime in the future. A lot of things about our justice system work very much counter to how you'd do things if your main goal was to have less crime. See also: banning certain kinds of government college aid for people with drug-related convictions. If you care about recidivism and cycles of poverty & crime why would you make it harder for people who've done their time and gotten out to contribute positively to society?

From a sheer fairness and what is justice actually POV, it's bullshit that this is yet another thing a rich family can shrug off, while a poor family is screwed. I don't have a solution for it, but the role money plays in our justice system may well be the biggest problem with it, which is saying something.

> Hopefully the son learns from that and he should be working to help repay that debt.

Very unlikely, with a record. A decade later and he's doing OK, for values of OK that include "can mostly pay own not-large bills, and only because he's living with his parents, and is steadily and consistently progressing in a low-paying field". Last I checked he's still "in the system" to some extent, as far as ongoing fees and check-ins and such.

(for the record, just to set some parameters here, he didn't physically hurt anyone, but it was still quite serious and definitely not something a society would want to go un-punished, that's absolutely true)

One imagines the long-term lasting harm to all of: victims, families of victims, perpetrators, and families of perpetrators; happening over and over in high-crime neighborhoods and it's no wonder it's so damn hard to improve those areas. That, on top of everything else that's often wrong with them. Reducing, not increasing, the "blast radius" of crime seems like something you'd focus on if you want to reduce crime rates, when stress and poverty are causal for crime and stress and poverty are part of the effect of same "blast radius".
Your ears are highly directional devices and an orchestra in a concert hall creates a highly complex soundscape that is impossible to replicate with 2 channels. Location awareness (i.e. 2 mics where your ears are) is just a small part of the problem.

I'm not sure what he meant by that comment. ExceptionGroup is an Exception subclass, so `except Exception` should work perfectly fine.
Sure, but I'd bet that accounting for a handful of shapes (maybe less than 10) could cover 90% of the differences. We've applied that principle to everything else in the body pretty well so far. It will take a good bit of time to figure out what those shapes might be though.

Starlink is seeking approval for tens of thousands of low-earth-orbit satellites. Each one will have high-bandwidth network connections. It doesn't seem intractable to put cameras on each one and stitch their feeds together for imagery that's maximum 30 minutes old for any arbitrary point on the globe.

And the market for near-real-time imagery might be even larger than the market for internet connectivity.
Exactly. Audio codecs for VOIP run as low as 6kbps and sound really good for voices, but completely break down if you try to play any kind of music through them.
There are a lot of tools built for Google Maps/Earth, and it is far more accessible. For a reporter/investigator with an unlimited budget, sure, but for most of the real world, if it isn't in Google maps it is essentially out of reach.

> I assume this is an inability for BT to handle bandwidth requirements?

I doubt it. I'm honestly just as confused as you are, though: lossless audio streaming was possible since Bluetooth 4.0 (and before, with powerful enough encoding). Sony has been doing it for years over their LDAC codec, and Apple's AAC codec could probably do most of the heavy lifting with some minor updates.

> That said I think lossless is a gimmick :D

All sound is really just conjecture that our ears and mind make, so you're definitely welcome to your own opinion there. For me though, the difference between 48k and 96k is pretty distinct, with the 16bit/32bit difference being barely noticeable. Of course, you don't need to listen to "high rez" versions of songs to enjoy them though. My daily drivers for out-of-the-house listening are a pair of Galaxy Buds.

This is more of an "in spite of" rather than "because of". The openness may be causing more infections, but the medical system can handle the load due to the rate of vaccinations present now that weren't present when Texas disastrously tried to open up last summer.
Apple created ALAC as a closed source project after FLAC had already been released as Open Source. They subsequently changed ALACs license to Open Source -- presumably to take advantage of further development from the community.
No, there isn’t. This is just a marketing exercise to make people question whether they should use Tidal.

Psychologically some people will worry they aren’t hearing music in the ‘best quality’ if it isn’t lossless, and ‘no perceptible difference’ isn’t enough to remove that doubt.

The rest of us can relax.
Can the banking system really handle more than 5 transactions per second? There so much bureaucracy involved...
Interesting. Seems like http://bokeh.org/ has a lot of the core linked brushing functionality implemented for free with much lower latency. Any particular reason this wasn’t implemented on top of that?
All things considered, not _that_ irrational. For example the flight in Okinawa

> The pilots attempted to use the cockpit escape rope to climb to the ground, but the first officer was knocked off the rope when the number 2 engine and right wing fuel tanks exploded, triggering a large fireball that consumed much of the fuselage. The captain subsequently leapt from the window without using the rope.

Now, would I prefer to have the fuel above me or below me? Probably above. But in the wings away from the cabin does seem a bit safer.

Good points and I agree that they can help in a lot of cases. However, I would argue that, if you're an engineer and the best use of your time is to report 2 times a day, for things to be "working", it might be that you're just empowering a flawed manager / process / organization that way.
Reddit is literally the last organisation on Earth I would take engineering advice from.

I appreciate they are operating at a very large scale and that has its own challenges, but it is by far and away the worst engineered product I use. I really do mean from soup to nuts, Reddit is just garbage software. The modern front end is obviously and plainly terrible. The backend is slow and suffers very frequent downtime, often for hours at a time. I could go on for hours about the terrible engineering of Reddit.

>Ford's market cap is $45B, but because it has $120B in debt which means it is worth $120B to it's bondholders and $45B to stockholders for a total enterprise value of $160B.

I believe that's a bit misleading because it includes Ford's lending arm. They borrow money and lend it out at higher rates. So lots of Ford debt is lent back out to consumers at profit.
What is the edge of this over competitors like Plausible or Fathom? They look the same and seem to offer exactly the same features
I did that, but this makes it far more difficult to use bash if you need to.
Debt is a good thing for Ford!

The majority of their debt comes from financing the sales of their cars to fleets, dealers, or consumers. This earned them 1.7B last year.

Tesla's real advantage imo comes down to not having dealers eat into their margins.

I wonder if due to the increase in retail trading activity, stocks are becoming less and less tethered to fundamentals. Retail people buy stocks in companies they like, and that they see as the future, regardless of whether the pricing "makes sense" or not according to traditional metrics.
It's true that Postgres does this. But the problem I was highlighting was the developer-error of lacking to explicitly declare an encoding. It's only really related to the OP link insofar-as when you fail to do so on MySQL, you'll receive error messages that inform you of the dreaded 767-byte index.

Landing aircraft are spaced ~minutes apart to avoid turbulence caused by the plane in front. Surely wings immediately behind on another suffer significant turbulence and reduced lift?
Lol. In what world would anyone accept the UN dictating this?
Sort of agree. But if it was from a lab, that might make people and governments more careful in the future

Also, what do you mean by "improving air filtration"?
YMMV, but I just checked my neighborhood out and the satellite image is ~5 years old.
It's no joke!

Ann Arbor Michigan had the most liberal cannabis laws in the United States for a couple decades running, it was a $5 fine for personal use quantities.

In the late 80s (IIRC) a Republican on the city council tried to change this, campaign promise or something. The council said "hmm, yeah, it costs us more to process this paperwork than we get in fines" and raised it to $20 or $25.
That's assuming they keep up on any necessary calibration and maintenance, as well as proper training. Just seems like another potential avenue for abuse and/or false positives.

Doing some reading just now, it seems Atmos is what's called an OBA (object-based audio) format. It's fundamentally lower-level than Ambisonics, which falls into the SBA (scene-based audio) category, so it should be possible to mix it down to Ambisonics. In fact I suspect the Atmos decoder does something like that on its way to creating signals for each speaker. OBA formats generally require more bandwidth than SBA formats. The benefit is that the end user can customize the mix (e.g. mute certain sources). In the case where there are many mutually-exclusive objects (e.g. dialog in different languages), the bandwidth advantage of SBA diminishes...

The UN is less a legislative body and more of an international treaty negotiation forum. If all of the UN member states agreed to such a thing then it certainly could be ratified - it sounds like it might vaguely fall under the purview of the first committee DISEC (Disarmament and International Security) and Israel might object to it but usually there's some bargaining involved in these sorts of things.

To my knowledge, there is, in fact, no strict limit on the authority the UN can have - but there may be some specific carve outs to other international bodies (i.e. laws of the sea - the division of antartica), however I think these carve outs were mostly made affirmatively by the UN to empower other organizations.

There is a separate question on whether the UN has the power to enforce legislation it passes, but that's a pretty simplistic reduction that can be applied to pretty much any governmental body and will almost always result in the answer of "It depends".
I am getting tired of seeing this point being raised time and time again. But I am going to assume that you are just uninformed and try it one more time. There is no meaningful 'cost per transaction' in Bitcoin. There could be 0 transactions per block as well as could be > 100 millions transactions per block (assuming people are using L2 solutions). The cost is used to sustain the whole network.
the film industry, sleep, and driving one sparked a memory. i took a film production elective while completing my undergrad. The class left and I stayed behind to finish up. A while later, they walked back in. Confused, I wondered if they all forgot something. Nope. Turned out it was the next class session! I hadn't moved in nearly 24 hours, and was awake at this point for at least 40 hours. I then had over an hour drive home up a curvy mountain road (at night) with thousand foot cliffs.

I actually full on hallucinated.

1/3: A giant SUV (20' tall) was reversing onto the highway. I slammed on the breaks only to realize it wasn't there.

2/3: A bit later, a hundred foot tall heavy woman in a moo moo standing akimbo over the road. I recall telling myself to not look up as I passed underneath.

3/3: someone reversing their boat and trailer onto the road, but the boat was 20' tall (my mind had _something_ going on with giants I guess). By that point, I just drove through the illusion, and, after, realized just how scary that was.

Finally got home, and I recall aiming for my pillow and being asleep before hitting the mattress.

I you really want the best possible performance you absolutely can program in Scala with little to no performance penalty over Java. In fact, in exactly the same way you can program in Java and still remain competitive with code written in C/C++ (except the typical differential isn't as drastic).

You still have access to "raw" JVM arrays, mutability, etc.

The difference is that you can choose to just restrict the 'ugly' code to your performance bottlenecks and code everything else at a higher level. This gets even better in Scala 3 with opaque types, etc.
> Borrowing something to sell it is a recursive behavior, as is buying shares of yourself.

no, it isn't. this is nonsense, you're just trying to equate some reasonable market activities with something that sounds a bit scary and weird because you don't understand it.

no, we don't. no more than of any other failure to terminate a loop.
> American Inflation Mortgage Adjustment Act

Do you have a source for this? I've never heard of it.
We do care, but you must understand that policing (and the majority of government that Americans interact with) is fragmented by design under our significantly federated system of government. As much discussion as this gets on a national level, meaningful change in this realm means change at the local level. And that's where things start to break down, because the most egregious cases of abuse are happening in places that disproportionately benefit from these abuses.
Probably the same way that sloshing is prevented when a conventional aircraft banks - using the magic of baffles.
> I'd be more skeptical but EVs are eventually going to cost way less to make than typical ICE (internal combustion engine) cars, and per unit that savings translates into a lot of fucking profit.

What's the basis for this? Battery tech evolution and ICE cars have no more (safe) optimizations to make to get costs down?
What is sad is that these ideas were dismissed as crackpotish or racist until now.

>Regardless of the faults of current policing practices, the fact is that they represent centuries of judicial, legislative, and social work by many thousands of individuals.

>But it's not as exciting or sexy as "burn it all down" rhetoric

He stated "modern policing," which I would guess is since the 1980s and the drug war, then 9/11. All this is fairly new, and started within my lifetime. This is "normal" to the younger generation, but it's horrifies me.

Some simple fixes that don't require "burning it to the ground," but would in fact abolish modern policing:

1. Abolish qualified immunity.
2. Civil forfeiture requires burden of proof on the state.
3. Require at least the military's rules of engagement, police rules are very lax. (I'm scared, BANG BANG).
4. Require body cams and remove ability to turn them or the microphone off. (sensitive info can be removed on FOIA, but not court cases).
5. Prosecute prosecutors for gross prosecutorial misconduct resulting in a wrongful conviction (withholding exonerating evidence).
6. Disallow drug dog alerts as evidence of a crime. (this has more than been disproven as reliable.)
7. Require states to provide equal funding for the public defender's office as they do the district attorney's office. (fair representation).
8. Require all police departments be 100% funded by their municipality rather than self funding (ticket quotas, pre-textual stops w/ civil forfeiture).
9. National police certification. This keeps away the bad "gypsy" cops that get fired / resign for gross misconduct from being hired elsewhere.
10. Successful lawsuits against the city for police misconduct get taken out of the police budget.

There are probably more, but those should "abolish modern policing." A civilization has to have a pretty ironclad faith in their legal system, otherwise everything will collapse.

This means that when the coinbase rewards run out, the fees pay for the mining. Small fees, keeping the network useful, for billions of transactions (bandwidth and storage costs decrease according to Moore's law). With this final state, individual on-chain transactions would not take much energy at all.
Big caveat is that OP wants to be treated as en-US and people won't believe him. Maybe the analogy is travelers who say they're from the US (or rural farm area, etc) and the person responds "you? no! really?".
KBA wasn't dropped, it still applies. The law is still on the books.

KBA gives the regulator (NOAA) the authority to set a resolution limit for images of Israel. They are supposed to set it to be the best resolution commercially available from non-US providers. In 1998, NOAA set it at 2 metres. In July 2020, NOAA dropped it to 0.4 metres. NOAA had been dragging their feet about that – in 2018, evidence was presented to them of commercial availability of sub-2m resolution images of Israel from non-US providers, but they didn't accept it. Their argument apparently was that even if sub-2m resolution was commercially available, it wasn't "commercially available enough". One factor that changed their mind this time is widespread resale of foreign imagery by US resellers (the KBA only applies to sale of US-acquired imagery, US companies are legally free to resell foreign-acquired imagery.)

KBA still limits US providers to a 0.4 metre resolution of Israel. When foreign commercial providers start offering better than 0.4 metre resolution of Israel, NOAA may drop the limit again. But they may drag their feet that time too.

You said it makes sense to put something in terms of a ratio even though they are uncorrelated except for a binary neccesity. That's like saying movies need sound and movies make money so let's measure movies by volume to dollars. It is literally broken logic.

> there is, in fact, no strict limit on the authority the UN can have

There is no strict limit to the authority I can have. That doesn’t mean I can prohibit Google from doing squat. I could theoretically get the U.S. government to pass a law, but that’s not the same thing as authority.
Very true. I was using the fiio BTR3 for a while with my last phone which didn't have a headphone jack. But keeping the connection was so frustrating... It would just randomly drop or crackle. Making sure it was charged too. I switched to a galaxy s10 which is okay fidelity-wise but at least it's usable. Then I got a portable music player for music and audio books which was a game changer. Will never go back, so long as BT is the wireless standard.
Is this true? Do you have a source? I have a hard time believing that lots of planes flying today are from the 1950s. That's 60-70 years ago. I did some searching but didn't find anything that would indicate there are any commercial aircraft that old still flying, much less lots - but if you have a source I'm curious about it. Thanks!

Edit: A google image search for '1950s airplanes' shows me very weird-looking planes that don't much resemble what we have today, in my experience. I now disagree with OP too, I don't think there has been nearly as much stagnation in airplane design and flight over the last 70 years as is indicated in these comments.
How many people planning to buy an F150 (lightning or otherwise) have or even have heard of crypto? That's just not the market.

But no, I cannot —even sneakily, manually— enforce tab in my company(es) code bases. Reasonable person uses formatter which opinionated config set from the first commit.

And I like the formatter decision better. If it is automated and reduce unnecessary debate between devs, why not?

DNA matching is shockingly precise, it absolutely should be the gold standard for evidence.

Unfortunately, there have been multiple cases where it turns out the forensic analysis simply wasn't performed, the technician just put whatever the prosecutor wanted to see on the form.

Easy way around this is double-blinding the evidence. The fact that this isn't done should make DNA evidence inadmissible in court until the relevant authorities clean up their act.
