The SFPD could not possibly care less about thefts. When the central freeway still crossed market at octavia there was a big open-air chop shop where guys dismantled stolen bikes. Every hour all day long a guy in a white van would come and exchange whole bikes for stripped parts and cash. The cops used to sit right there in the It's Tops coffee shop, whiling away their shift and just watching it all go down.

People blame this stuff on the new district attorney but I've never seen SFPD lift a finger against crime, in 25 years of living here.

Why does the Blackbird use a propeller, why not a simple high-performance land sail boat like the Greenbird, a design that fits with the original idea from the sailing community?

> the desire to optimize one specific case while neglecting the general case

This feels like a recurring pattern in Rust's design whether we're talking about performance, what's accepted by the compiler, etc. I'm not sure it's a bad thing exactly, but it leads to a lot of unintuitive footguns. Of course the consequence of these footguns is de-optimization or a compiler error, instead of a runtime exception or a memory error. But nevertheless it can make for a confusing landscape of behavior to navigate.

Should they not try and spot-optimize common cases where they can, just for the sake of predictability? No, I don't think so. And so I don't know what the answer is. I just often (and even more so when I was new to it) find myself surprised by Rust's general-rules-that-actually-have-notable-exceptions. Though who knows, maybe it's just not possible to make a language this powerful that doesn't run into this problem.
German have terrible environmental awareness. They are irrationally anti nuclear to the point where they keep coal plants running long past the time they should have been stopped all for the sake of stopping nuclear power.

Switching to renewables is a laudable goal but the steps should have been phasing out coal first instead of nuclear first.

> but it sometimes takes longer than it should.

I'm convinced that the solution to crime is not to increase punishments, but to make the speed and likelihood of being punished fast and almost certain.

If theft had a 100% detection rate and a punishment greater than the value of the item, you would never steal anything because it would be pointless. The problem is we let people get away with it multiple times and then eventually destroy their lives over it.

Airtags and other anti theft tech can help here. Make theft extremely difficult to get away with and people will not bother.
Yes. And iPads and macs too.
That's interesting. You shouldn't be getting those alerts, assuming she has an iPhone, Apple Watch or any other Apple device with her at the time. AirTags will not send that "following" notification if any of the owner's devices are nearby.

In any case there is an option to disable the alerts for that AirTag when you receive the notification.

I think anyone who compares government spending to an individual's financial decision to make some point about responsible spending is a total hack and probably has nothing insightful to say. Even I know enough to know such a comparison is totally worthless to make. It boggles my mind that people are paid to write this garbage and people spend the time seriously entertaining the nonsense these people put in your head.
Germany, Japan and SK are extremely wealthy countries. I am sure they can manage if they really want to.

Germany in particular made the stupid decision of shutting down nuclear plants (Fukushima overreaction) and it is pushing this narrative of being a green energy country… to me it sounds like an easy problem to solve once there is enough political attention.
> majority of urban greenhouse gas emissions.

Specifically, the majority of emissions from the 167 chosen cities, not the majority of the entire world's emissions.

The conclusion is flawed - the United States does not have many large cities, or even large metropolitan areas. Comparing Bejing (21 million people), Shanghai (24 million), or Tokyo (14 million) to NYC (8 million) or Los Angeles (4 million), of course the larger cities which are entire multiples larger are going to going to account for a majority of the emissions.

Bejing has a population roughly that of Florida, the third largest US state.

> You are also misunderstanding the chemistry in the passage you quoted.

I’m not. I’ll give the benefit of the doubt we have a miscommunication though.

> Technically speaking, sulfur is an oxidizer in gunpowder, not fuel.

This initial statement makes it sound like you were claiming that the potassium nitrate is not the primary oxidizer in the combustion. It is the potassium nitrate’s role which is the oxidizer and not the fuel.

And yes, sulfur attracts the potassium, and aids in the reaction, but it’s role is also as fuel, which you incorrectly stated it was not.

Again, from wikipedia:

sulfur (S), which, while also serving as a fuel, lowers the temperature required to ignite the mixture, thereby increasing the rate of combustion. [1]

[1]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder#Components

And Fuel:

A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases energy as thermal energy or to be used for work.

Sulfur itself can be burned. Potassium nitrate cannot. In fact if you add sulfur to potassium nitrate the sulfur can act as the reducing agent and you’ll get sulfur dioxide.

4KNO3+5S⟶2K2O+5SO2+2N2

To categorize sulfur over the potassium nitrate in the role of oxidizers doesn’t make a lot of sense, which is how I interpreted your initial statement, perhaps wrongly.

Gunpowder (specifically black powder) works in a vacuum because of the potassium nitrate, not because of the sulfur. You can have gunpowder without sulfur, but it’s not going to work without the potassium nitrate.

This is actually the biggest selling point IMO. I used Svelte instead of Vue purely for speed, but the benchmarks suggest Vue has made real progress here. Though, I'm not sure that in real applications a virtual DOM solution could ever be quicker than compiled code to update state. But in terms of developer UX, I think Vue has the easiest entry point, and it seems to have decent performance to boot
Yep. So basically the same approach can/should be used here too.
>cloud services, meanwhile, are the property of their owners as well, with all of the expectations of societal responsibility and law-abiding which that entails.

This is already a shifted/normalized perspective.

If I rent an apartment or a house, it comes with an expectation of privacy. I don't know where to draw the line exactly, but a dumb storage-only cloud service should carry the same expectations. Things get more complex if a service is actually doing something with the data.

But the broader point is that with cloud services, we've already given up some established legal expectations of privacy without much awareness or realization, let alone resistance.

> unable to understand how or why it works

We do understand how and why it works to a certain degree (gradient based input to output approximation). But if you want the meaning of the third neuron in the 10th layer, then yes... But in the same sense we don't understand thermodynamics because we don't account for each particle, just a statistical aggregate of them.

And on the other hand, we don't understand much about how people work or how we are motivated, even though we have first and third person perspectives. Psychology seems to be no further advanced than AI. And yet we work with what we have.
I think it's more just that they don't want any legal issues.

Have you actually tried this? I'm living abroad and I can tell you it's nearly impossible to be bankless, if you want to continue living in that place and have the government be OK with it.

At some point you need a long-term visa, which means you need a job, and that job will require you to have a (local) bank account.

Need to pay bills? You can't pay in cryptocurrency, and they expect local currency. Some may accept credit cards, but most will probably only accept debit or bank transfer. Ones that accept credit cards may only accept national cards.

If you're a US citizen and you have a bank account in the US (or credit cards), and they find out you're no longer residing in the US, they'll probably close your accounts to avoid dealing with FACTA. You'll need to setup special bank accounts, and may also need to switch your brokerage accounts.

At some point credit card companies will realize you're living somewhere else and will close your accounts, because they're intended to be used on vacation in other countries, but not long-term.

To use crypto, you need to convert it into fiat, and you can't do that without a bank account.
Is there a way to check exactly which brands were effected or something to report?

Last month my arms were crazy itchy all the time and I thought it was due to them being sunburnt. Because they were sunburnt originally, I was super diligent about applying the sunscreen I had there (spray sport Coppertone) but the itchiness lasted for weeks.

When I read about a recall of a separate brand I realized my sunscreen may be causing some type of reaction on its own and tossed them. Itchiness went away about a week later.

It could have been a coincidence or something else - who knows - but whatever was causing it was the most prolonged consistent itch of my life.

I do see Coppertone listed but not the specific brand I had - though seems very likely/plausible they all use the same ingredients.

> I've yet to be unable to make a program go "fast enough" regardless of the programming language or runtime it's in.

On "fast enough": Performance matters to latency and throughput but also resource consumption and thus cost.

Ok maybe you haven't worked on anything where measurements like latency and throughput matter.

But surely you've worked on something where cost matters?

Whether it's paying for additional hardware or VMs or increased memory requirements or more runtime minutes for "serverless" hosting, slower code always costs more to run.

If traffic is super low maybe it's the difference between $0.10 and $1.00 so nobody cares. But grow that company and suddenly it's $10K vs. $100K, the CFO is now paying attention.

A couple startups ago I redesigned a system so it was able to handle ~50x the user load per server (no special magic, just JVM tuning, DB tuning, removing some of the worst-offender slow code). The ops team had been in the process of ramping up server count and instead they ended up removing 30+% of the servers assigned to it.

From a customer perspective it wasn't faster (it actually was faster, but not in a way any customer would've noticed) but higher performance code sure saved us a lot of money.
