I don't have pictures of said water. The water is safe to drink, but it just looks unpleasant and occasionally smells too.

I think it has to do with minerals in the supply being stirred up by rain water and reacting with treatment chemicals.

EPA doesn't care to much about the taste, color, or appearance of the water as long as it is "safe" to drink.
"When Carvana makes a car loan to a buyer, it packages it with other loans and sells the debt to investors. While other auto lenders also sell loans to investors, they typically keep the debt on their books, recording gains and losses over time. Carvana, on the other hand, doesn’t retain the debt and immediately books gains on the cash sales."

This is precisely [edit: precise is to strong. "analogous to"] what happened in the financial crisis almost 15 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_of_America_Home_Loans#Sub...

"When Countrywide finances mortgage loans, they usually packaged them for sale to large investors as mortgage-backed securities. Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac can only buy loans which conform to the standards of government-sponsored enterprises. Non-conforming mortgages securities must be sold in the private, secondary market to alternative investors."

I don't know auto loan based securities (size, participants) but this should be a huge red flag to anyone with any sense of history.

No, it's perfectly reasonable. I don't disagree with you, or more accurately, I'm not even presenting an opinion on whether the US should have stayed or left. But given that leaving was the choice, and perhaps the rational choice, the act of leaving is itself something that requires management and competence. It is possible to be done in a way that minimizes or maximizes destruction, loss of human life, any remaining moral philosophy or disposition for democracy in the area, hope generally, etc. The US president has a direct influence on how the exit happens.

The point I'm actually making though is that even if you are right, if the "other guy" were in power right now, the newsmedia would be presenting it very differently, and it's important to be aware of it and be able to see it when it happens.

I believe the city water department tests for a more detailed set of factors(I could not get proper information because I moved here recently, and I don’t yet speak Dutch). However, the tests I could buy/order from commercial labs around here only tests for specific ones (Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Nickel, Coliform bacteria). I’m guessing that is because those were the common culprits.

10/2000 Presidential Campaign Debate:

“MR. BUSH -- Somalia. It started off as a humanitarian mission then changed into a nation-building mission and that's where the mission went wrong. The mission was changed. And as a result, our nation paid a price, and so I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation building. I think our troops ought to be used to fight and win war. I think our troops ought to be used to help overthrow a dictator when it's in our best interests. But in this case, it was a nation-building exercise. And same with Haiti. I wouldn't have supported either.

…

MR. BUSH -- I don't think so. I think what we need to do is convince people who live in the lands they live in to build the nations. Maybe I'm missing something here. I mean we're going to have kind of a nation-building corps from America. Absolutely not. Our military is meant to fight and win war. That's what it's meant to do and when it gets overextended, morale drops. Well, listen, I strongly believe we need to have a military presence in the Korean peninsula not only to keep the peace in the peninsula but to keep regional stability. And I strongly believe we need to keep a presence in NATO. But I'm going to be judicious as to how to use the military. It needs to be in our vital interest. The mission needs to be clear and the exit strategy obvious.“
The author seems to get quite close to a proof that there must be 6 'defects' but then gives up for some reason.

To get the result all you really need is the additional requirement that the vertices on the edge each have 4 neighbours. Once you have that then you can just glue it to its mirror image. This now functions as a triangulation of the sphere so it must have 12 more vertices with 5 neighbours than vertices with 7 neighbours, since it's composed of 2 equal halves each half must have exactly 6 more vertices with 5 neighbours.

You can probably generalize this by letting vertices on the edge have one neighbour more or fewer as well, but things get a bit messy.
With respect to climate change, there is a complete disconnect between the predictions of doom and the proposed solutions. Electric cars ain’t gonna do it. Massive disruption and reordering if the economic order and a real reduction in global well-being are the price to be paid if we’re really serious.

I just don’t see intellectual honesty among people who claim that climate change is an existential threat.
> Gates tried hard to eradicate polio, and failed at that, now he's an anti-vax meme.

> There was not a single trustworthy test I could find to say here is a decent test profile we ran on your sample, and here is the water quality score.

The local authorities are the ones you should be reaching out to here, not random Amazon test kits. Testing for microbial contamination is difficult and requires specialized equipment and training. There is no reliable way to DIY it, unless you have a couple of years training in a microbiology lab.

Of course the local water works in any first world country test the water every day at the water production station, but a common failure mode is that sewage and water lines run in the same ditch, and both suffer a breach.

For this reason, water works are typically very interested in receiving reports from the public and testing samples.

For Amsterdam, two minutes on Google tells me you should contact Waternet. I also found a service page where you can check whether your area is within a known fault, a and submit your complaint/info. Google Translate works well for reading this:

Nah, the invasion of Afghanistan was an arrogant "I thought we were a superpower" not wanting to look like a beaten "pussy" and wanting to punch back at something.

"Let thousands get killed"? They already died, it's not like invading Afghanistan was going to stop killings (of Americans, it's not like USA cared about the killing of civilian Afghanis) which were in progress, sure they were probably planning something, but it's not like Al-Qaeda stopped planning even with bombs falling on their heads.

9/11 was the fuckup of the intelligence agencies, but the bloodlust meant that they had to punch back. And Bin Laden picked the right time with arrogant dishonest war hawks running the country, US' reaction to the provocation killed a few thousand more of their own young men and women and burned so much more of their money.

I wonder if it was possible for the US to have a leader that said "Let's reflect why this happened." Sure, go after the people who did it, but to threaten an entire occupying force (in the form of Taliban) to "Give us Bin Laden or we'll bomb you" wasn't that smart. A smarter administration would've done more barking to scare them to somehow give up OBL, or done more intelligence to find him and drone-strike him, and not get into a 20-year quagmire in the country. But intelligence is a long and quiet process, and all the angry citizenry would've complained that the government is being a pussy by not bombing everything that looks foreign and said "Death to America!"...

> otherwise it would have been pretty widely adopted across the industry

I'm not sure that's a fair explanation for why. It's totally possible to come up with new paradigms that are useful even though nobody's thought of them before.

I would think the main issue will be around JavaScript's tendency (cultural, syntactic, etc) to casually create and release objects all over the place, constantly. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with this, but it seems problematic for this use-case.

Example: JavaScript doesn't have named function parameters, because instead you just create and destructure an object:

function foo({ param1, param2, param3 }) {
}

foo({ param1: 'a', param2: 'b', param3: 'c' })

The syntax encourages this, the React docs encourage this. JSX itself does this for every element you render. And for normal JavaScript usecases it works just fine. But when you're running this logic every frame, I would guess it will limit you at a certain point.

Despite that, I think people are onto something with the broader idea of coding a 3D scene declaratively. I'm just skeptical that React or its norms are the right path to doing it at scale.
It's much worse in the US, tons of heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, etc.

Berkey water filters are a good basic option.
The last place I lived had over 300 ppm water. The landlord was useless at maintaining the building-wide softener, so I just installed an under-sink RO system myself. It worked wonders. In my new place the water isn't nearly as hard, but still tastes slightly off. I'll be installing an RO system here as well.

Depends on the plane, but it seems that most aircraft can sustain about the same force as the people flying them. I'm sure there are safety margins but an F-16 can sustain about 9 G's [0]. A trained fighter pilot with an anti-G suite can sustain around 9 G's as well [1].
The G-force capabilities don't seem to have improved much since the F-16. The F-35 can also "only" do 9 G's [2].

This does make sense though. Whats the point of building an aircraft that can withstand much higher G's if there is no pilot that can ever fly it in such a manner. Plus it might just become exponentially more expense to exceed this limit.

My point was that the environmental impact encompasses more than just the energy usage. What I wanted to get at with my questions was "what's the ratio of bad stuff produced per kilometer driven for hydrogen and for batteries?"

How much more mining is needed to produce a battery pack than a fuel cell? How much more waste metal is there? Are there any chemical pollutants in either system?

Both systems are going to have different ratios between Bad Stuff and efficiency and my unqualified guess is that hydrogen _might_ be better.

Sure and most of those folks came from Saudi Arabia. But anyway Al-Qaeda was out pretty quickly, yet US stayed with half-hearted effort to conquer and do changes.
I think for my objection to apply in the 2D case, you'd need for the force law to be 1/r instead of 1/r^2. That would happen in a truly 2D world, but not in this case where we have charges confined to a 2D plane, but with 3D electric fields extending above and below that plane.

I think charge still goes to the surface, even if not induced. A spherical conductor with a net charge would have a uniform distribution of charge on its surface, and 0 charge density inside the bulk. Any net charge density inside the conductor would create a diverging electric field around itself, which would cause a current to flow, dissipating that net charge in the process. The same argument should apply to a bunch of free electrons, shouldn't it?
Facebook already has it with or without Giphy.

I'm not familiar with the details of his theories, but I think he theorized the Earth was visited by aliens, whereas the linked article talks about a comet split into several pieces large enough to crash into 4 different continents and change the climate of the Earth.
Even if you don’t trust tap water, reusable 5 gallon jugs are still a much cheaper and more environmentally friendly option.

As to everyone getting sick at the same time, that’s likely a function of your move. Moving long distances to a new area means being exposed to a huge range of new microbes. It’s very common to get sick in the first several months as your immune system adapts.
Government contractors and suppliers or all sorts were / still are milking the golden cow that is Afghanistan / Syria / Iraq / wherever as much as they can. Cynically they don't care much for the mission, but rather what's in it for them. Our military is in part a war-fighting (not nation-building) enterprise and at the same time a profit-making enterprise for those who know how to work the system.
Maintenance for modern military gear can be quite expensive and challenging. My armchair analysis thinks that it’s more likely this gear would be sold to other interested countries if it was captured.
> _mm256_blend_pd is very fast instruction, a single cycle of latency. The highway’s emulation is going to be way more expensive.

Actually it uses exactly the same instruction :) https://github.com/google/highway/blob/master/hwy/ops/x86_25...

Thanks for sharing the list! Out of curiosity, can you expand on what _mm256_permute4x64_pd is used for?

> _mm_addsub_ps (that one is vertical but still missing from highway)

Indeed, we have not needed complex-valued functions yet. AFAIK NEON does not have such an instruction but it could be emulated with an extra XOR+constant. Will add to wishlist, we implement them whenever there's a use case.

> I have tons of #ifdef there

Seems reasonable if you only target v7 and ASIMD; but #ifdef is increasingly infeasible now that SVE and Risc-V V are coming, no?

> to support NEON which differs substantially, there’s stuff like vrev64q_f32 and vextq_f32

Those can actually be bridged just fine, they correspond to Shuffle2301 and CombineShiftRightLanes.

> Even if you expose all the missing horizontal stuff in highway — won’t be much better than intrinsics. Such code ain’t gonna use AVX512 when available.

Because of the hardcoded vector size? I agree that's best avoided, in your case perhaps by batching the matrix mul and applying SIMD over that dimension instead?
Even if not, I'd rather have type-safety, friendlier function names and gaps in the ISA filled, but tastes differ.
I don't understand your point. The big three (do you still count Chrysler/Stellantis?) make things and produce jobs. Carvana is not a REIT and is substantially a financial services company per this article.
1. I lived in Sweden, and kinda experienced this. I was treated much better when I told people I live in the US/NYC. Also my colleagues there had hard time making friends.

2. Norway is staunchly anti-immigrant for a reason. It has resources and they like to keep it that way. They wont even give visas to foreign grand-parents unless one of the grandparents has died. This happened to my dad's friend. His daughter married to a Norwegian, he couldn't stay more than few weeks at a time with his grandchildren (treated like a tourist). Finally when he died from cancer, wis wife (the grandmother), finally could. This is especially cruel from a country that has trilions of oil money. (The US sytem, while flawed, is very family friendly).

3. Danemark had enough, and it is turning to the right and started doing all kinds of ant-immigration laws.

> As a side note, I'm hoping maybe this encourages the Remarkable team to open source their proprietary binary. Their advantage here is definitely the hardware not the software.

I dunno, reMarkable’s low pen-to-screen latency is an important part of the device’s experience, and they’ve historically mentioned that as a key factor in not open-sourcing it, because they reckon they’ve done some fairly clever stuff in it.

The reMarkable experience is very much a combination of hardware and software.
