> US consumers are well-known for wanting cars that are extremely oversized.

Partially because or our fuel efficiency standards that are based on footprint and our preference for (often excessive) engine power. Can't get a big engine in a small car because it won't hit the efficiency numbers, so better get a bigger car.
> But definitely larger than the Station Wagons of yore.

Hehe,

2020 Outback

Wheelbase 2,750 mm (108.3 in)[3]

Length 4,840 mm (190.6 in)[3]

Width 1,840 mm (72.4 in)[3]

Height 1,500 mm (59.1 in)[3]

Roadmaster Wagon (the one mentioned in the article article)

Wheelbase 115.9 in (2,944 mm)

Length 217.7 in (5,530 mm)

Width 79.9 in (2,029 mm)

Height 60.3 in (1,532 mm)

As you can see, Grandpa's old station wagon was a fucking beast compared to a modern Subaru. Two feet longer, half a foot wider, 1000lbs heavier and taller to boot.

People forget just how big old station wagons were. I used to roll in a B body, so it amuses me when people talk about how much bigger cars are today. Like, yeah, a Civic of today is the size of an Accord of the 90s, but those old full-sized GM cars were gigantic land yachts.
I always criticize Azov or any other organization for doing crap like that (militarizing kids, nazi-ish symbols, etc), but I don’t want to throw the baby away with the bath water. Azov is a volunteer battalion of people that decided to risk their lives to defend Ukrainian borders from Russian invasion when internal politics and military were in disarray. Only a certain kind of people will volunteer to do that and I’m thankful for their service. I also think that crimes perpetrated by Azov members should not go unpunished and it’s weird and stupid that I even should say that out loud, as if it’s not a default position.

That's a tough conversation to have because if you're worried about data retention, then you start looking at Apple. It's a new regime, which is off-putting because it flips the tired hero/villains narratives in unexpected ways
> People who love/hate him with passion

I think one aspect you're missing is that this is precisely what Musk wants and needs, and has cultivated.

You're pointing out the trappings of celebrity. The passions are all skin deep - similar to the loves and hates you find in the public for celebrities of the normal sort. The people who love him don't really love him and the people who hate him don't really hate him. They will forget about him when they find new symbols as avatars for their ideological perspectives.

Musk cultivates an air of celebrity. It does seem like he has a certain cloying need for attention, and becomes uncontrollably angry when he feels dismissed or not listened to (e.g. the "pedo guy" incident). He actively engages/toys with communities that are characterized by a severe forms of hero worship (the coin communities, the trading communities, etc). It's clear that he has a deep-seated need to receive some sort of broad public approval. "Quirky CEO" seems to be the persona he has adopted to help him fulfill these needs.

I think it's ironic that you are lamenting the frothy public discourse around this individual without realizing that both the love and hate he receives are very much desired by him and actively pursue by him. The idea that a whole lot of people are having very long, passionate arguments about you while you can sit back in your insulated domain and once in a while fan the flames, is very appealing to a certain type of personality.
Well that was money well spent!

"here’s a bunch of reasons why this might not work, not least that no-one except Google and Apple want Google and Apple to have that much control over publishing and advertising. "

I've said this previously, if you for a second think Apple is protecting you against evil "Social Media company" or "Evil X Advertiser", you are wrong. Apple is only looking out for Apple. And they want to be the one who controls user data. Plain and simple.

The enemy of your enemy is not necesarily your friend.

Things SHOULD change. Moving the power from one big corp to another big corp is not the answer. No matter how convenient it may seem.
Here is some 2021 thinking: If you have reason to believe the police have attached a bomb to your car, you should run from the car. Better to abandon your car forever than to attempt to defuse or destroy the bomb, something you have ZERO experience with. It's better to lose your car than your life.

(You call the bomb scenario a fantasy, but that is what this sub-conversation is really about and it's the scenario you were responding to up thread.)
I have had a landline phone fail--a tree fell over on the next block down and took the wires along. Also, many years ago, I was in a building where we found the phones would work without power, but they wouldn't ring. While waiting to go home, we would resort to "polling"--pick up a line and see whether anyone was on it.

> I don't get why "Society" needs to change

Society wasn't created in a vacuum to create a way of life you feel most accustomed to, that then becomes immutable. It changes all the time. and you don't notice it until it's too late because it happens so gradually.

So it will now. Society could shift to accommodating these other people and you wouldn't notice it, because you already do the thing it is shifting towards, which is maintaining better boundaries for yourself.

If I'm not wrong you check if q1 and q2 are in opposite hemispheres with the sign of their dot product?
Is there an example where individuals taking personal responsibility of a widespread problem has led to a favorable results? What I've seen is that this line of thinking disconnects the values from the result ie: "We did the right thing, so we have to accept the results." This re-frames the debate from results-orients to values-oriented.

The same reasoning is being used in the climate change debate. Corporations are gearing up PR teams to promote individual responsibility campaigns so that corporate action can be minimized. Again, it disconnects the values from the results so that at the very end when nothing changes a group can be happy that even though it fails, we did the right thing. The end result is cynicism and skepticism to these tactics.
I have not seen any complications of using quaternions that would be anywhere near as big as the complications of using any other approach.

Cooling? Well, I'm using a 5900X right now, air cooled, with a high airflow case loaded with slow spinning 140mm case fans.

In games at 1440p120 (maxed settings, with RTX) I'm hotspotting at -- wait for it -- about 68C. With most of the CPU at 60C. In CPU intensive applications, more like 74C hotspot, with most of the chip at 65-67C. That's a setup that's still inaudible to me at 1m distance.

I feel this is going to be a 5900XT and 5950XT. Fills a price gap between the higher end X desktop CPUs and Threadripper for the HEDT market. Great for reasonably priced dev desktops (without falling down the workstation rabbit hole), as compilers love cache.

... though next year with 64-core EPYCs at 5nm with 768MB of L3? Oh. Dear. What's in the Xeon pipeline that can attempt to compete with A CPU that dominates on PPW and will be neither cache-starved nor core-starved? I guess it'll fuel a lot of Optane 5800-series sales, as driving down IO latency to sub-10μs will matter more.
Can't traceability be implemented with digital signatures? WhatsApp could sign my messages with my encryption key and always forward messages with their original signatures as metadata. Wouldn't that implement traceability? I guess that's the "fingerprint" this article alludes to. I don't see the technical limitation, just a policy one. WhatsApp wouldn't need a centralized store of all messages.

No, it’s really not, it’s vastly different. Australia is not under control by someone who appears to be a dictator, closing borders as part of a wider crackdown on dissent, and what looks like it could be a precursor to mass violence.

Australia and other nations have implemented travel restrictions based on a global health emergency, restrictions which enjoy wide popular support. This is not a severe violation of human rights, and to try to call the two equivalent is really quite dishonest.
If I had kids? Yes.

My exploration online was effectively unrestricted while I was growing up. The internet had far more objectionable content back then that was easily accessible. I don't feel that it had any real negative effect on me. Why would I worry myself sick over my kids seeing it?

Also, even if there is more objectionable content than a Battlefield trailer, the Battlefield trailer is restricted by the same rules. And if everyone else in your kids' friend group is talking about Battlefield then you'd be excluding your kid from it by limiting access to that. And if you don't limit access to it, then you get all the other 'objectionable' content too.
I've long assumed that the benefits of mega-targeting are overstated: we've all seen the ultra-targeted ads for say, TVs right after we bought a TV. Unobtrusive targeting based on the content of where the ad appears feels like it should capture much of the value without all the data collection.

Maybe I'm wrong and the targeting really does work that well that it should displace practically all other forms of advertising, but it just feels like a situation where it's to nobody's benefit within the ad buying/selling system to really take a hard look at whether this is worth it.
As someone else mentioned in the comments, the "get cookies.txt" [0] extension works to circumvent the age restricted measure and i have been using it with success for weeks now.

get the extension, export the cookies.txt file to a folder, then run youtube-dl in that folder with:

youtube-dl --cookies cookies.txt https://youtu.be/id

it works as of right this minute [1] and in my experience that cookie continues to work even if you log out of your account in the browser and log back in etc

i'm trying to imagine a way to have a more permanent solution, maybe if youtube-dl provided some kind of login prompt type thing to enter some your credentials to virtually log in, although i imagine that would start to be another cat and mouse game of it working and then not working.

I agree. In my case, living in a medium size city of Spain, I get a 30 minute commute from to the office, driving on a very good condition highway, on low-medium density traffic.

For me, a relaxing listening audiobooks while safely driving is like a warm-up for my workday. An activity I wouldn't have time otherwise.

And the same, in my way back home.
I didn't mean middleman/process mediating communication. By "skilled project management", I meant structuring tasks and setting priorities in such a way as to minimize the required amount of communication - particularly, synchronous communication between the workers. An hour (on average) or two per day replying to messages and doing code review, an occasional meeting every other week - sure. But if your senior devs are spending most of their time each day in meetings, then either you're running a bootcamp, or something is very wrong.

I don't find it's about speed, but rather about staying in the zone. vim enables very intricate navigation and editing that is much more tedious to pull off with a mouse. Since I have these commands memorized and very strong muscle memory, I just do them by instinct and my focus on what I'm doing never drifts.

My issue with the context menu is "Search [selection] with Google" is in the middle of the context menu, after "Print selection" and "Take screenshot". Why?

I cannot be the only one that uses that functionality 100 times a day at least, and it's so not conveniently placed I used to misclick "View selection source" instead a dozen times a day, and now I'll be taking screenshots or opening the print dialog by mistake. I've been googling a way of rearranging the context menu on Firefox so that selection search is rearranged or has a keyboard shortcut and not _one_ soul has ever mentioned it in the past decade, which is maddening.

One of the reason I use Edge nowadays is that "Search with Google" is the second option, between Copy and "Search with Bing in the sidebar", which isn't ideal, but it's still search.
It doesn't work like that. 1000lbs is not a very large payload and you will not get 290 miles of range from 15 minutes at a quick charger. Even a Tesla supercharger (level 3) only gives you 170 miles~ after 30 minutes, and that's on a smaller vehicle with a smaller battery.

For what its worth, the GPL (both 2 and 3) says this:

> The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

> Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

(The GPLv3 goes on to support some stuff about naming a "proxy" to approve new versions in addition to the FSF.)

I'm no lawyer, but I imagine that would prevent glaringly-evil GPLv4 from being upgradable-to.
