My dad used to whistle at us all the time as children and he probably still does when I see him. I probably picked it up from him.

I whistled to an ex SO and they considered it disrespectful. I'm not sure I yet understand why it's disrespectful, not that I consider either opinion more or less correct. I just don't really understand that opinion.

Maybe someone can expand on it?
Still a good read if you're curious about Cassandra
I looked relatively deeply in to this area when starting an asset exchange ~2011. My conclusion at that time was that existing carbon trading / offsets tokens were basically non-fungible due to disparate definitions from different regulators. Nominal assets ranged from honor-system self-declarations to heavily audited. The resulting asset types were found to be effectively illiquid, despite a rush to open exchange platforms and media talk of trading schemes, owing to lack of buy-side demand. Individually the systems were mostly only useful for gaming local regulators. I doubt their primary purpose today has changed from multinationals greenwashing their dirty operations with suitably distracting levels of misdirection.

It's not exactly solved - your examples are close but not equivalent.

Hotels have many people who work there and cleaners who enter the room daily (no Hendrix hotel a la Altered Carbon yet). Rental cars are secured with your credit card so there's a massive disincentive to trash the vehicle.

Perhaps pervasive recording of the vehicle interior would suffice.
A technology which is entirely based on mathematics can withstand more than a little attention.
Agreed. Actual benchmarks prove that there isn't a difference in load times between SATA and NVMe SSDs for somewhat modern games, much less RAM disks:

Like you said about requiring a bunch of processing, DirectStorage[0] should be able to skip a lot of processing when loading from NVMe. I haven't read that DirectStorage works with RAM disks, but even if it was, there might not be a difference in load times between them. You'd be better off buying more NVMe than RAM, if game load times are your only use case for a RAM drive.

That was my point. Front row seats cost more than the very back end row (which has no reclining functionality) because of extra leg room. Maybe it wasn't clear in how I phrased it.
It’s also been solved (or isn’t a problem) with car share apps like Car2Go or Zipcar.
Those cars don’t get cleaned between rides, but system asks how clean the car is when you start a trip.

It was a very different, more flamboyant and volatile, era.

Recently watched "Gimme Shelter" a documentary about the free concert at Altamont in 1970 that ended with someone in the Hells Angels (which had been hired for security!) stabbing a concert-goer to death. This film, according to some, documents "the end of the 60's" and marked the beginning of a much meaner era. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidchiu/2019/12/03/altamont-a...).

"Gimme Shelter" (the film) captures the band personalities in a really preceptive way. Watts is pensive and brooding, Jagger is mercurial and far-removed from Earthy reality.
Los Angeles also didn't build all its planned freeways, and today LA has fewer freeway miles per area and per capita than most american cities

All modern investment in this space is explicitly trying to push for better hardware software co-design. This is seen as the path forward in light of Moore's law dying. There has always been a boundary where your ownership of software truly begins. In PCs it was at the firmware, and with smart phones it has been at some arbitrary location the os vendor has seen fit. The web had been the most crippling place for user control of software, and they own no part of the devices software or hardware.
I don't fully agree with the sentiment that it would be IBM's responsibility to cater to hobbyists (nor do I think that programming in, say, COBOL or PL/1 is actually fun), but if you must try on a limited budget, there is the Hercules emulator: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_(emulator)

In the immediate aftermath of ceasing usage/consumption, yes. Work DOES work in that aspect.

I think regularity and disciplined labor can be hugely beneficial, but if they're working for profit, then of course they should be paid their dues. Now, having said that, I can see a case for placing those funds on hold, so that they don't spend unwisely during cessation, or make bad impulse buys. I've known guys who spent their paychecks on dope right after being clean for 18+ mo in a residential. It can go any direction, that's hard to predict.

As for relearning behaviors, it's sort of reflective. If I get fired and I'm sitting at the bus stop with no supervision and nowhere to be, and I feel ashamed of myself or inadequate, I mean, that's a recipe for relapse. I grew my skill in reflecting on the ability to choose DURING those events. A few days ago, my best friend from rehab was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He's terminal, I went and saw him over the weekend and he looks like walking death. I felt all those crazy feelings and it's like they were all under one big [[you don't have to drink to get through this]] annotation. I can't explain how to just do it, but THATS the skill they're relearning. That's what drugs and alcohol takes away from you until you can get it back.

Normal life is honestly the easiest, but can hurt the most. In most of the people I've met and known, it revolves around relationships with their family and loved ones. That's always an individual thing. All I can say is not to rush it, and just make yourself unimaginably patient no matter what. Being busy isn't that important. It might even be less important, because you just need to give your family time to see you grow back into your previous capabilities with your new knowledge and understanding.

They sure do; however, digital media and social in particular, absolutely rely on significant investment in their audiences, attribution, etc in order to drive more revenue and thus higher CPMs. More traditional media (such as OOH, Print, etc) all rely on very high-level metrics such as daily traffic volumes and lack of direct impact evidence in their attribution of value.

This is why Facebook is SO very against what Apple is doing with iOS14+, particularly with cross-device and cross-app tracking opt-in, because they know it will decimate their ability to do what they do today.

The US has been propping up (mostly secular, but not exclusively) authoritarian regimes, and instigating coups, since at least the 1950s -- either to guarantee favorable terms for oil or shipping, or to destroy local communist/socialist/not-capitalist-enough movements.

One of Chomsky's oft-repeated facts is that Eisenhower commissioned a report while president, to figure out why is the US hated so much on "the Arab street" (but presumably including Iran, etc.)? The report concluded that the US is perceived to have installed and propped up authoritarians, and generally to have meddled in internal affairs and elections, and what's more that it's all pretty much true. I never found the report he's referencing, but you can easily find info about meddling, even on CIA's own website (pre-revamp), such as an internal CIA historian's favorable review of a history of their commission of the Iran coup.

I think this has to be taken into account when trying to explain the current dynamics.

>a market for someone arranging picking up, storing and delivering luggage on demand.

There are although there might need to be someone on the other end to accept the delivery.

These are mostly for business purposes though. I looked into it once for a complicated mixed personal/business trip and, while I don't remember the numbers, it was fairly pricey for an individual especially if you get free luggage on your carrier.
There's a bit of a misunderstanding here. I was not talking about encoding phonetic sounds into Unicode. Unicode should not imply sounds or meaning.

Unicode is about visual representation.

The argument about phonetic alphabets is they are superior to hieroglyphs.
Twitter started asking me for my phone number about a week ago to sign in. I did not provide it and complained that I should be able to verify my account with just the email on file. Then a few days ago I could login again, but my account was suspended. All the images on my tweets are blank and the list of people I follow is gone. I have appealed for reinstatement. We'll see how that goes. I was surprised not to see this new phone number requirement for twitter on HN or other sites sooner.

I assume it's using the same codebase for all Android versions. Haven't tried it on an Apple TV.

Yeah, thus "games" where exchanging data through standard file formats isn't important. There's at least one big downside though: modding wouldn't exactly be trivial with such monolithic game images.
OK: I have found: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion

"DataFusion is an extensible query execution framework, written in Rust, that uses Apache Arrow as its in-memory format.DataFusion supports both an SQL and a DataFrame API for building logical query plans as well as a query optimizer and execution engine capable of parallel execution against partitioned data sources (CSV and Parquet) using threads.
DataFusion also supports distributed query execution via the Ballista crate."

"Use Cases:
DataFusion is used to create modern, fast and efficient data pipelines, ETL processes, and database systems, which need the performance of Rust and Apache Arrow and want to provide their users the convenience of an SQL interface or a DataFrame API."
This assumes that the challenges that are hard for a human are the same challenges that are hard for a self driving car - that might be the case, but self driving cars may have some theoretical advantages such as 360 cameras/lidar and an ability to follow satellite navigation without having to take its eyes off the road.

Put another way, the 5% of times I need to focus are usually the times where I am somewhere new and don’t necessarily understand the road layout - which something like Waymo may avoid through mapping for instance.

It might be true, but plenty of problems that have been thought to require true AGI have later been found to not require it after sufficient research - for example it’s not long ago that we thought good image recognition was entirely out of reach.
Does that not make you wonder what it is that they want to track which is so incompatible with those regulations that they'd rather ban the traffic?
Is this the best current view of a roadmap for Datafusion? https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@arrow.apache.org/msg23576.h...

I knew Twitter has been going downhill for a long time, but I actually didn't think they'd stoop to this level. Super disappointing.

In the earliest years Twitter was such an awesome platform to connect with people and discuss stuff. I actually met a bunch of local fellow geeks (some of whom I am still in contact with), and also met tons of industry people in different areas over the years -- again people I still keep in touch with.

These days though, it's much harder to engage in new genuine discussions on the platform because it's so overloaded with sensationalistic noise and ragebait retweets. Even as I unfollow/mute accounts who propagate this stuff, it's just not feasible as it's become the primary context of basically the entire platform.

Further, the site itself shows you content from users you don't even follow (and that no one you follow retweeted), trying to "drive engagement" or whatever. It just compromises trust that I'll see stuff from the people I follow and not see crap that "some algorithm" wants me to see. I try to only access the service from 3rd party clients so I'm not basically abused by some engagement algorithm that forces ads and unrelated content at me. Twitter is the new Facebook.

BTW, if you're still reading this and want something like Twitter that isn't centralized and being ruined by the publicly-traded corporation that owns it, check out Mastodon[0]. Find an instance that aligns with your idea of a cool community and sign up there. Or start an instance with your circle of friends or whatever.

Learning a lot of complicated things is good for your brain, like programming in various languages or playing various musical instruments. It's fun too.

But having a multilingual globe comes at a massive, immeasurable cost.

One of the greatest forces to improve economic opportunity and equality in the history of the world would be if everybody suddenly agreed on one simple, terse, expressive human language and switched to it, in all contexts except home life and shared spiritual or community services.

No more IELTS tests, no more spelling bees, no more "why is 'wherefore art thou' not about Romeo's location?", no more notarized translation costs everywhere in the world... everybody gets equal access to all media created in all places (although of course there'll still be place-specific references in that media), etc

If you were designing an ideal human world, the last thing you'd want to do is build a Tower of Babel on it.

Well it solved a lot of pain points with the target market.

I remember my friends and I kept bickering who would pay for this month's bill for the vent/mumble servers. That kept on for years until I had enough and hosted my own in a droplet in digital ocean. None of my friends knew how to do that since they're not very technical.

Discord you just had to click a couple buttons and its free.
I cannot view threads or expand images or see people's responses to threads any longer. This does not compel me to sign up at all. Quite the opposite effect. Twitter is not the ideal place for long form threads anyways. *yes lets just keep adding more 140 character mini blogs to make a long form news posting*
It's not unreasonable to assume that some of humanity's problems are NP-hard and so while science won't be able to solve those problems, neither will anything else. However, that's if we're looking for exact solutions, for we can get far with statistical modeling - we might even be able to get to good enough. I have a sneaky suspicion you would find such good enough solutions highly unsatisfying because I suspect you're after Truth, which may not be knowable, even in principle.
What if the car/service just doesn't work or is planned to be offline based on the weather? It would suck to be stranded because it started raining, but would it still be valuable to have an automated taxi service on good weather days in big cities? I am inclined to say yes, and also delighted that this is the question I'm asking, but I'm an optimist.

When lending to an end borrower, a lender is often focused on their ability to underwrite the borrower to understand the risk of the loan.

We think it's very unlikely that Level could become the best underwriters of all the different types of borrowers in the world by lending directly.

Instead, the most innovative founder types in the lending space are often finding creative ways of using non-traditional sources of data or underwriting techniques to be able to lend to borrowers that otherwise may be left underbanked or unbanked.

So hopefully, by lending to lending companies, Level opens the door to new ways of thinking that we ourselves may have missed.

But you make an excellent point that there could be different flavors of the Level platform that could enable the same end result of allowing innovative founders to explore new ideas.
Yep it was pretty horrible, so I hit reader mode that narrowed everything down and increased the font size.

I find it's quite a bother to have to do all the CSS necessary for good reflow on a number of devices, so I too just have everything just spill to the ends, and just do reader mode on devices. But I don't really know much CSS apart from the really basic stuff, and haven't ever sat down to see how it would be done.
