Some more context: In France, public transport fees are 50% subsidized by your employer.

The employer's contribution to public transport costs is compulsory.

The employer (under private or public law) must pay 50% of the price of season tickets subscribed by his employees for the entire journey between their usual residence and their place of work accomplished by means of public transport services. even if several subscriptions are necessary for this trip (train + bus for example). Public bicycle rental services are also concerned.

Also if you're a student, low-income, elderly, it becomes extremely cheap to get a monthly/yearly subscription.
The majority of toilets in the US, and all of the nice/good/clean ones, are on private property (businesses, et c). Any that are free to use for all get quickly destroyed.

California (the topic) has some of the highest taxes in the US, but some of the lowest levels of government services provided.

First of all it'd be a problem to the people of Poland and Ukraine, but I guess virtue signalling matters more than real problems.
I'm confused by how high their latencies are, something isn't right (/me goes and spends too much time that I instead should spend on paperwork).

The biggest contributor is that they tested random reads - that'll likely end up bottlenecked by the FTL, not the protocol & interface latency. Which, especially on consumer devices, can add a lot.

Testing sequential, non-buffered, 4k IO with fio, on my boot disk, a Samsung SSD 970 PRO 1TB, I see:

Average latency of 13.8us (99.9th percentile 33us), with fio running on the socket the NVMe is attached to, and 16.22us on the remote node (99.9th 37us). With polling that goes down to 8.19 / 8.79us.

If I instead test random reads, I see 69.68 / 70.63us (99.9th 147us/ 176us) local/remote node respectively, if I use a 128MB file. Unsurprisingly the local/remote difference nearly vanishes, as the transfer itself isn't the bottleneck anymore. Nor does polling help much. With larger files (I tested up to 128GB, didn't have enough free space for more), that increases a bit, but not by much.

Even taking the effect of randomness into account, my disk is several years old, and the latencies reported in the post (and linked PDF) are well above what I see, on a two socket system, with plenty other things going on at the same time. I see considerably lower latencies on two different fast server grade SSDs as well (not quite to the optane level though).

The PDF's benchmark description says:

> The main goal of this work is to evaluate the hardware and not the filesystem. On each device we create a file of size approximately 90% that of a device size. We fill it with specific data to be sure that the space is allocated and that the reading takes place. To assert the latter we verify that received bytes match the ones we expect.

I don't really understand why they're doing that. On most disks that will ensure that the FTL cannot operate from cache, even if that cache is generously sized. IME even random workloads tend to have more locality than a uniform distribution over 90% 4TB. But more importantly, this seems to counter the author's stated goals:

> In this work we present a detailed overview and evaluation of modern storage reading performance with regard to available Linux synchronous and asynchronous interfaces.

But the test setup chooses the scenario that is least likely to be influenced by the choice of interface?

There's a lot of odd stuff in the later sections. It's not at all clear what 7.1 really measures. The numbers are too high for QD1 sequential reads (even at 10us latency one would just be a bit below 1GB/s). But too low for high QD sequential reads. So is it buffered - but then I see higher throughput at 4kB? Then 7.2 talks about "AIO" in the graphs but I think just means doing one read per thread. But how would that be "asynchronous reading"?
The basic vi assumption is: "We spend more time editing text than authoring it, and therefore the keyboard itself is the UX."

This is loke starting a maze at the end, amd precisely the sort of backward thinking that affords some excellent solutions.

This isn't to scoff at great UX and design work; merely to point out that the wildly offbeat can surprise in a good way.
Strong disagree, in fact I'd say that apart from Bayview, all of SF is safe, there's just lots of property crime, which I'll grant is shitty. North of 110th St? All of Manhattan's been safe for some time now. 110th St isn't even a little iffy. There are parts of Brooklyn and the Bronx that are no-go zones that have no comparison in SF. If you want screwed up, you have to go to Oakland (and boy is it... Oaktown does it all).

How is this a remotely justifiable idea? Police are paid to their job, if they're not doing it because of political disagreements that is unacceptable. We the voters determine the policy not them.
Good. I'm excited to see the results from this. Public transport should be considered infrastructure in the same way roads are, with taxes on private vehicles to offset it. It leads to less cars on the road, less polution, less traffic, and a city designed around the public transportation once usage reaches critical mass.
Haven’t flown since covid, but from 2019 flights, Not in U.K. (ID only checked at gate - intl flights only) and Not in 3 schengen airports (ID only checked after security when leaving schengen area)

The idea that the majority homeless Californians are 'migrants' from out of state is largely upper class propaganda promoted to avoid discussion of downward mobility caused by high land prices.

The problem could be solved by repealing proposition 58 and 13, establishing a state board of commisioners to reappraise all land at the state level at present market valuations, and replacing sales taxes with distributive land taxes. But property owners obviously don't want to hear that and would prefer to pretend the problem doesn't exist.

"Where does California's Homeless Population Come From?"

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/06/us/homeless-population.ht...

> As the data shows us, most of the homeless people you pass on the streets every day are in fact Californians. Some may have rented an apartment or once owned a home in your neighborhood.

> L.A.H.S.A.’s 2019 homeless count found that 64 percent of the 58,936 Los Angeles County residents experiencing homelessness had lived in the city for more than 10 years. Less than a fifth (18 percent) said they had lived out of state before becoming homeless.

> In Los Angeles, a renter earning minimum wage ($13.25 an hour) would need to work 79 hours per week to afford a one-bedroom apartment.

> Data about migration to California from other states among the housed population showed that the largest group of transplants to the state were actually college-educated professionals

> “I hear a lot of people complain that the homeless people are all from ‘somewhere else,’” wrote Ms. Kroger of Stockton, a lifelong Californian. “I think it might raise empathy and compassion if it turns out that the majority of the people who have been displaced are from the very communities in which they are now trying to survive on the streets.”
I guess the name "Sci-Hub" was already taken.
Not sure what country you're referring to but I highly doubt border control agents have access to parking tickets.
My company instituted a ban on taxis and ubers to make employees use public transport while abroad because it's good for the environment.

Then our execs visited Paris - it only took one metro ride from the airport to get rid of the whole rule and have folks use taxis again. I always wondered what happened on that metro ride.
Is there anyway to buy/book directly instead going through this Amadeus, and this Sabre software you mention?
Thanks for all of these questions. I hope my answers are able to help. If you'd like - it would be great to connect to have a more in-depth conversation at some point. Feel free to reach out to hello@researchhub.com if want to chat!

1. Yes, RSC is 100% pre-mined and earmarked for distribution to the community, team, founders, and ResearchHub corporate entity. We plan to distribute about 5-6% of the total RSC supply per year to the community as rewards for posting science on the platform.

2. In the future, if we run out of RSC and need to add to the total supply the ResearchHub DAO will be able to vote to mint new tokens. There are two mechanisms at play that keep the DAO honest:

* An open source codebase - If the ResearchHub team ever goes rogue and fails to act as stewards of the community, the community will be able to fork our codebase and manage a new version of ResearchHub how they see fit. See the Steem vs. Hive example to see how open-sourcing can give community an option to exit: https://hackernoon.com/inside-trons-steem-takeover-attempt-a...

* RSC holding represent ownership in the DAO. For every coin held, an individual wallet gets one vote. This means that the biggest hodlers of RSC will have the most influence.

On the surface the concept of more coins = more influence might seem like a bad idea, but we believe that carefully distributing RSC into the hands of the scientists and community members who care the most about our mission will result in the best governance.

Regarding guarantees against the team dumping tokens - we currently have vesting smart contracts for employee token grants and would be open to enacting other measures to ensure a healthy market for RSC if requested by the community.

3. I wrote a little bit about this in another response. Let me copy and paste here:

The way coins are awarded to posts can change over time via a democratic process facilitated by a DAO. In theory, this could create the infrastructure for the scientific community to self-govern how their work is assessed and rewarded.

Perhaps a 1-10 peer review rating would provide a better signal than upvotes? Or maybe basic research deserves 1.5x rewards because it helps to fertilize the landscape of translational research. If the community wants to make changes to Researchhub's incentives, we will be able to iterate over time until we find a formula that properly encourages the behaviors that benefit science the most.

4. As of today RSC gives its holdlers the ability to vote in the ResearchHub DAO and participate in the governance of the network. Within ResearchHub you can tip users for their posts by "supporting" their content with RSC.

5. We’re currently building out a feature to help address this. Any scientist who has authored a paper shared within Researchhub will have a pot of RSC waiting for them upon sign up. It is in our best interest to properly credit reward the authors of manuscripts because in an ideal world they would have a larger influence in the ResearchHub DAO compared to the person who simply posted a link to their paper in our forum.
Good summary, but minor addition: `q` is also a valid input. Hitting `qq` starts recording in the `q` buffer, and it stops when the key is pressed a third time in normal mode.
Something that isn't emphasized enough in these discussions is that public transit is one of those things that wealthy business owners actually benefit from a proportionately greater amount compared to the individuals who use it; transit brings in cheaper workers and more customers to high CoL areas where they otherwise could not get to. With that in mind, it's never made much sense for it to be funded by individual fares rather than a progressive tax. The fact that this particular implementation is funded by business taxes actually makes a ton of sense.
> - Encouraging “deconstruction”, deconstruction of family values, of masculinity, of marriage, of traditional rules, replacement by state-sponsored benefits, which break the social fabric (a human as a free-spinning electron without roots may be healthy and wealthy, but at extremely high risk in case of unexpected event);

This conflates social reform with economic reforms. Many of the postwar welfare states in Europe were instituted by moralistic Christian democratic governments looking to undercut the support that otherwise would've gone towards the communist parties. Certainly benefits rooted in Catholic social teaching such as the family wage have nothing to do with the cultural bogeymen mentioned in the post.

Marriage has often had little to do with monogamy. Adultery was the norm throughout the centuries, particularly when marriage was forced, had to happen very early in life, and when divorce was not an option. Prostitution was often utilized most by the married, not by bachelors.

Thirty-five years ago, I had a couple of slightly frustrating weeks sitting in front of a VT-200 serial terminal.

Over the subsequent three and a half decades, I've had an editor on virtually every computer system worthy of the name which Just Does What I Want It To. It's there for everything from one-liners to book-length files to editing multi-GB datasets or Web scrapings.

And I'm still learning features and concepts, though now around vim rather than the original BSD vi.

And no, vi isn't the only editor I've used with proficiency: DOS EDIT, EDLIN, KEDIT, WordPerfect 4.11, VMS EDT, VMS EVE, TSO/ISPF, Emacs, pico, nano, and more.

I quite honestly wish I could get back into emacs, but vim has a stronger pull and solves virtually all my problems. org-mode does have strong appeal, however.
I did and it was prefectly ok. I think you still got unlucky to be at place where young men fought. But it is not something that happens every time one uses public transport.
I don't see how that's a problem with the transportation system.

Luxembourg is also a tax haven, AND extremely small compared to France. The costs of free public transport in Luxembourg is tiny both in actual numbers, and as a fraction of their GDP.
But they did it because Trump is evil and he said it was China. Being anti trump justifies anything.
unlike Luxembourg the American government has bills to pay and an army to maintain and being a glorified storage deposit box doesn't work for a country of 300 million people

It's not that low. Up to 40ms (roundtrip) isn't a problem for solo playing, in my experience. And it's also a matter of training. Church organists learn to play with much larger delays.
Aside from being unwanted, it also is symbolic of much of Mozilla's worst behavior. During launch, it was specifically described as not being a paid placement: "There's no monetary benefit to Mozilla from the integration: Pocket didn't pay for placement in the browser"[1]. This way key to the discussion about why they chose Pocket over any other reading list plugins -- but this turned out to be a lie: "Hum. Apparently, _someone_ in bizdev thought that "revenue sharing" doesn't involve money, and spread information inside Mozilla accordingly. :rolling eyes:"[2]

Also, I can't find the reference anymore, but I definitely remember promises of getting a pref to use a different backend. AFAICT, that was another lie.

So multiple lies surrounding this product, along with it being continuously pushed on users (I've had it disabled via pref since day 1, and then it started showing up on the new tab page regardless).

And people are surprised when it gets hate.

But it also risks the agents being arrested if something went wrong (especially since their behavior was outwardly suspicious) and could be seen as a much more serious aggression since it involved a physical intrusion into the country's territory. I don't get why they even needed agents on the plane at all.

No one thinks they are getting away with anything but you. I don't get why you are so mad most people don't consider not knowing the salary beforehand a reason not to go on an interview. Not posting the salary on the job ad has never been the reason a position has been left unfilled.

Citizen’s arrest in California is legal for a misdemeanor (e.g., shoplifting as in your case) only when the arrestee is both factually guilty and committed the crime in the arresting person’s presence; whether or not the first part is true, by your description the second is not and you committed both battery and false imprisonment, possibly felony (by violence or menace) in the latter case.
I think this is great! Let's encourage people to take more efficient transport alternatives in every way we can.

Nickel-and-diming discourages use, complicates UX (a severely underrated issue in government services), and makes people wonder why they are paying taxes for something they still have to pay to use.
Same for me. But of course that is because we have been conditioned to feel that way, isn't it?

I'm a fan of paying for stuff. I understand that some people can't, and they need to be accommodated. But I think things are better when people who can pay, pay. Subsidies can be fine, but free is often a bad idea.

When you pay money, it's a vote to invest more in and maintain what you are using. It also gives you some stake in it to use it appropriately, and not do absurd things just because there's no cost.

Community college (in the US) is a great example. It works well, and it's cheap and subsidized (generally the cost doesn't stop lower-middle class people from attending). People go there to learn, teachers are there to teach. If we make it free, it will ruin it.
FF user (off and on) since Phoenix chiming in.

I'm going to level with you: I've looked at that Pocket button and all the Pocket ads FF throws at me on new tabs and on their obnoxious new-version announcement tabs, for years, but I do not actually know what Pocket does. I think it's some kind of cloud bookmarking or something. Maybe also something like the Reader view? I'm not sure. Whatever it is, I don't miss it on Safari (my daily driver these days, mostly for iOS integration and performance reasons, god knows not for feature-related reasons) and I've never cared enough to figure out what it does on FF when I use it.

I guess my alternative is bookmarks, which are 99.99% just a feature to let me feel safe closing all my tabs (and then never, ever looking at all those "important" bookmarked tabs again, ever—like, I've got many-years-old bookmarked sessions that were so important I couldn't close them without the security of bookmarks to make it feel OK to do so, but I've never looked at those bookmark-folders and very likely I'll die having never looked at them). I diligently export them every time I retire a system disk, so I've got a bunch of bookmark export files sitting on disks that I've also never imported or otherwise looked at. Probably I'd find all kinds of cool shit that past-me was looking at, but who's got the time.
As someone who is interested in all things regarding 80's and 90's computing, what was the early Internet like before GUIs? How similar/different was it from BBSs and Usenet? How did you access Internet pages before DNS and TCP/IP became de rigueur? Did JANET use T1 lines or ISDN? Did you have access to other online services/silos like GENIE, DECNET, or Tymnet?
So if you're setup with a MitM, and a new client connects (which is presumably an infrequent activity), and they don't check the fingerprint, then you can successfully MitM them. This vulnerability allows a way to filter on step 2 to find only new clients.

So any mitigations that make it impossible to differentiate a new connection from a previously verified one would solve it for now, but doesn't solve the root of the problem. The root issue is that a user is manually accepting an incorrect fingerprint. Currently it's very difficult to determine what the correct one is, which makes it rather worthless to prompt the user in the first place, but at least they have support after 8.0 for doing easier comparison.

So when are we getting the pre-shared fingerprint ease-of-use fixes that actually solve this?
The funny thing is I didn't use compact mode before (although I did know it was there), and after upgrading to the new UI, the first thing I did was find it and enable it because of how enormous they made the tabs and buttons.
That's exactly how it works. Pocket was unused, therefore move it to the extensions tray where it can be removed if you don't want it.
Fascinating. Looks like the original motivation for the campaign was the fact that loose change was required as payment, and not really any highbrow philosophy beyond that? This should be an easily solvable problem by now (though judging by the number of quarter-only parking meters around I’m not so sure).
