Besides people always get suckered into getting way nicer/newer cars than they really need (myself included). Financing is a difficult thing to keep at the low end. So in practice it’s not really comparable. But cars obviously have plenty of other benefits.

How to Read Effectively?
How to read a (non fiction)book in the most effective way?
I've found a skimming technique which is quite effective.
Technique: Read First Para and then read first sentence of subsequent para until you find a concluding para.
(Note: Assumption is to be made with reading every first sentence of what's happening in the paragraphs)
What I found hard is to find a concluding para
Any ideas to share? What do you think about this type of skimming?
Is there a better and effective way?

P.S: How to take notes?
I've highlighted important points. Is copying the highlights as it is to the notes or refer it and curate it into our own understanding?
> On the flip side, "think of the children" does not necessarily mean the argument is without merit. There are countless debates in which it is a valid point. For example, climate change is a big "think of the children" issue because the impact will be felt greater by children than by the people who are currently in power.

It's funny you wrote this because you actually committed a straw man fallacy in your line of reasoning above. An argument of "Think of the children" generally means restricting something from dissemination, discussion, or presentation because it's availability or the process by which it is made available would be a negative children as they aren't fully grown and responsible adults. Restricting porn, or discussion or drugs or sexuality, or child porn laws all fit this. It does not literally mean doing anything positive because it will benefit a child.

Saying that any argument that benefits children is a "think of the children" argument is a strawman fallacy. [1]

> Australia screwed up the vaccination strategy. They bought AstraZeneca and relied on a domestic vaccine that was being developed which failed in trials.

New Zealand also screwed up vaccinations by not buying AstraZeneca - as evidenced by the fact that they're several percentage points behind Australia and constrained by Pfizer supplies from overseas with no ability to rely on domestic or Australian manufacturing.

Australia ordered AZ from overseas, AZ manufactured locally, Pfizer, Novavax and now Moderna (as well as the UQ vaccine which as you mentioned failed).

- Risk losing the trademark

Society has already accepted that there will be accidents and fatalities

So society has accepted there will be accidents and fatalities? To quote you "Do you have a source?" I'm kidding, I know the livestock angle was never genuine :)

But to finish it out, in 2020 farmers received $46.5 billion dollars in aid[1]. If farmers transporting livestock is such a small percentage of actual use cases why not account for that in subsidies instead of saying that society has to normalize the scenario with the worst case negative externalities?

If that type of tree is known to have extensive roots, perhaps you could use smaller tiles on the pavement nearby and let the roots find their way.

I guess it does make part of the pavement inaccessible for wheelchair users… But then I believe that must be a massive old tree there.

> quarter of the population lives in the Stockholm metro area

You've never been to Stockholm metro area. It's very sparsely populated compared to many big metro areas.

Stockholm is a small city (800k people or so) surrounded by villages (another 1.5 million people) spread over 6,519.3 km2. Density is 360/km2

And that's the biggest city in the country.

In comparison, Paris (as we were talking about France): 13 mln people over 18,940.7 km2 with a density of 690/km2. That's for metro area. Urban area alone is 10 mln people with density of 21,000/km2

That article does not say that the first 15 went to Intel. It says that Intel placed an order for 15 in 2015. But by the end of 2017, ASML's cumulative shipments of EUV machines was only 16, and I'm pretty sure TSMC had at least two of those. As of a year ago, TSMC had half of all the EUV machines that have been shipped, and more than half of the EUV production capacity (on account of newer EUV machines having higher throughput).

TIL. But that means plants move heat somewhere, and not pack it into chemical bonds. This maybe defeats the idea, because these areas are cold because they are rare. If ubiquitous, in a still hot day they would just raise humidity and probably make things worse?
I agree that shaming people is probably unlikely to work, but I’m not really sure that anything will work in the short term here. We’re dealing with a crisis of social trust. What do you think the CDC and the federal government should be doing that they aren’t, that would be more effective at getting ideologically vaccine-resistant people in outlasted in this case?

And I feel the need to mention, intersectionality does not itself create an “oppressor hierarchy.” Intersectionality is just a way of describing how people can be vulnerable to to subjugation in some ways while having the power to subjugate other people in other ways. This is a good thing, specifically for reasons you identify! Just because you’re white in America and are less likely to be killed at a traffic stop than a black person, does not mean that you have enough money to live comfortably or have adequate access to healthcare, or are abled or have no criminal record and so on. You are arguably making an intersectional argument when you talk about the specific needs of low-information white people in rural areas.

>What study shows 80% or greater efficacy for primary immunity versus secondary immunity via vaccination

The CDC claims being unvaccinated was associated with 2.34 times the odds of reinfection compared with being fully vaccinated. Most vaccines are 90+ effective. Say for example moderna is 95.3% effective, natural immunity would be 89% (100% - 4.7% x 2.34)

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm

>Do they go into detail regarding how long the immunity lasts, and whether it covers varients?

There is a lot of information missing on duration, but we know people who were infected with SARS-CoV-1 still have antibodies 20 years later. Natural infection triggers an immune response on many more parts of the virus than the vaccine, so protection against variants should also be good or better than the original vaccine, but not better than a booster vaccine tailored specifically to a given variant.
> the fatigue damage to the road goes up as the cube of the weight

Slight correction - damage per axle is proportional to 4th power of load per axle. In practice it means slightly less than 4th power of weight (due to semis usually having more axles).

> European cities are filled with trees

Bit of an overly broad generalization. Some European cities, sure. But many are desolate and devoid of trees. Many old cities have very narrow streets, which aren't great for trees. A few shrubs, maybe. Wider strees in Belgian cities are generally devoid of trees, because parking spaces are apparently more important -- and we wouldn't want to impede the view of shops and billboards! Whenever urban trees are cut down, there's a bit of protest, but nevertheless it just keeps happening :-(

The first version of UNIX may have been created in 1969, but it continued to evolve for 20ish years, and I don't think 1969 UNIX really resembled what we had in 1989. But then the UNIX world stagnated, because Linux people were obsessed with cloning System V. Sometime during the Linux era, text became "cheap" enough to be used as a data format. So perhaps I'm wrong, and JSON's time has come in the UNIX world after all.

A not so long time ago there were these thick stacks of paper bound in twine, glue and leather called dictionaries that contained words and their understood meanings and it made it far more difficult to change a words meaning, it seems as with everything in this modern world the time for a meaning to be changed has accelerated to the point that ridiculous definitions can be twisted and imposed upon any word now.

I would imagine the best way would be to follow similar strategy as The Linux Foundation does with Linux trademark: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/the-linux-mark/

Basically you can use the name quite freely when talking about the kernel. You need to apply for sublicense to the trademark only if you're marketing some product or service with Linux in the name. I think this sort of practice would work well with Redis too.

"So, for me, it all comes down to state power against the peoples' ability to meaningfully oppose that power. And I'm sitting there, uh, every day getting paid to design methods to amplify that state power. And I'm realizing that if, you know, the policy switches that are the only things that restrain these states, were changed, there... you couldn't meaningfully oppose these. I mean you would have to be the most incredibly sophisticated, technical actor in existence. I mean, I'm not sure there's anybody, no matter how gifted you are, who could oppose all of the offices and all the bright people, even all the mediocre people out there with all of their tools and all their capabilities."

There was a funny Microsoft license for Xlsx.js (a lib that read Excel files in browser): It was allowed to distribute freely… as long as it runs on Windows:

> (F) Platform Limitation- The licenses granted in sections 2(A) & 2(B) extend only to the software or derivative works that (1) are run on a Microsoft Windows operating system product, and (2) are not Excluded Products.

So you could not deliver it on Safari, but also not on Chrome if it ran on Mac.

Aaaand that is why the JSXLSX implementation was developed, exactly the same as xlsx.js but without the restriction.

> Imagine if a NaN said exactly where in your code it was created.

I'm not sure how that would be useful. A debugger should have better ways of identifying NaN creation and I don't see anything else using a pointer to code in production. It seems cool though.

It would also lead to problems like:
x = 5.0 * y
y is NaN with some address as the NaN type.
NaN * 5.0 => NaN. Which address (the original or the * 5.0 line) is used?
Yes. that's interesting. dateAdded is actually part of what the bookmark API returns, so this one would be rather easy to handle.

Last date visited is more complicated. This extension only has it because it merges the results from history API with the bookmarks API. But then it can only go back as far as we fetched the browser history and as far as that exists.

How would you imagine such a query would look like? Right now, the extension only has "search modes" which limit the search results to certain types of entries.

If you are wondering whether you have ADHD or not, I made a website where symptoms are described from a first-person POV[1]. It's 200+ memes/comics I found on the Net, and a lot of text going in-depth about them.
