Caltrain capacity when I used to visit was on the level of a low traffic suburban train line elsewhere. It felt comical from someone used to e.g commuting on London trains.

It may well be it needs upgrades to be able to handle more, but even just having the land is a major part of the cost. It's certainly better than depending on trying to dump higher density housing in the middle of neighbourhoods where transport upgrades will require starting from scratch.

And if remote working continues, that'd allow far more housing near transport hubs. People will still travel on occasion, for all kinds of reasons.

And the second advantage of construction near transport hubs is that it usually means fewer neighbours likely to object. E.g. last time I was at Palo Alto at least, there was no low density housing immediately surrounding the station, and even where there is, there's typically little enough to make buying up the required properties to resolve the issues a lot easier.
That's even worse than I thought it would be. A cheap one will likely not do better. At least they picked the HAM bands smart so harmonics tend to end up in the next HAM allocated frequency range up. But SDRs being what they are there are no passive components on board to ensure the signal stays 'in its lane'.
The part I always miss, is how is this a bad thing when it comes to roads? Building 'hospitals'[0] for people to use until there are enough hospitals[0] that people no longer have incentive to flock to the new Mayo Clinic in Arizona seems pretty desirable.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

> I, for some strange/personal reasons struggle to write what's in my head.

I don’t think that’s strange at all. Most of us can use language to get by through daily live, but to put to words our own thoughts in a way that other’s can read them later is really difficult.

> If you have felt in a similar way, I am very interested in hearing stories on how you overcame this.

I recognise this. For me writing small self-contained fragments is a good way to get started. Tweets are too small. But essays are too big.

The problem with writing your own thoughts is that in your mind everything’s connected: the challenge is to cut some connections and make a bit of text that can stand on its own two feet. And then learn to enjoy the things that make text work, the rhythm, the tone, the choice of words.

Like with any creative endeavour, you need to build up a muscle to do it. I think the actual platform doesn’t matter at all. It could be a paper notebook or a blogging platform. Whatever works for you. If you can write a small 300 word text every week that’s already amazing. I would just start with the first thought that comes into your mind. And not worry about the coherence between the different texts. After a year you’ll have 50 short texts and a better intuition on how to make writing work for you. If you’re interested in writing longer pieces then, you’ll also have a better feel for which subjects lend themselves to it.

That’s how it works for me at least. Before I wrote my first book, I spent a long time blogging. It helped me to stop trying to connect all my thoughts together in a big scheme. I loved the freedom of writing small self-contained texts that didn’t need to relate exactly to the previous ones. It also helped me explore a variety of themes. I’m looking forward to take up blogging again, as I know I have a lot of topics I’m interested in and it’s only through writing with that variety that I can get a clearer focus for my next project.

> I believe we all have a treasure to share, maybe not to the world, but to a few people to who we matter.

So true. Although we might end up sharing it in other ways than written words. But I feel learning to write also helps you think and express yourself at other moments in your live.
> "Government agency is incompetent" is a very potent narrative that blocks the usual expectation that cloud products should be difficult to use insecurely.

Whether the government purchased a defective product that was insecure or misused a good product, the government should be held to account for the failure, same as with any company.
Not the same argument. Combining musl and glibc runtimes into a single system is known to result in instability.

Whether it gets documented as part of a "don't do weird things" system or this update gets accepted, it needs to be addressed, as people have erroneously expected this configuration to have the same stability guarantees as stock Alpine.

I agree completely. I think workers should organize and seek extralegal justice from bosses responsible for wage theft. Since this is a crime that's almost never prosecuted.
For longer than that. 846 open PRs, 3.7k open issues. And this long predates the GitHub takedown debacle. This isn't to say that they're totally AWOL: they do a really good job keeping on top of the boring break/fix work, like keeping on top of the ever-changing interfaces of video providers. But they're very conservative about expanding functionality, and even fixing more minor bugs.
EDM will take a very long time, you are going to take off a few microns per hit, and ECM will likely take either an insane amount of power or will take forever across such a large surface.

but you agree it should not happen or are you saying because it happens in Canada, we should be fine with it in happening in West Taiwan? whats your opinion on forced organ harvesting? and slave labour ? i mean slavery did happen in the past and now most places ban it but since it did happen its fine for West Taiwan to do it? or Libya?

i just don't get the argument that because X happened in X place, people from X place can't be against it in another country? when they are against it happening anywhere, including their country.

Windows has many solutions to this. It is entirely possible for the apps to use a shared dynamically linked runtime, and the OS provides mechanisms to have several versions installed globally side by side, loading the correct one as needed for each app.

Why not rotate their assignments as a matter of policy. They might do a deep dive and fix something no one bothers to fix on a similar assignment. But then it is due dilligence to have another look at their work. I know this sounds theoretical compared to practice, but it seems to be on the level of separating conceptual or design breakthoughs from production-izing code.

It will be interesting to see how the immune response develops for previously covid-naive vaccinated people after their first covid infection. Specifically, does their immune system still adapt to new variants?

One of the main arguments of controversial anti-covid vaccine people like Geert vanden Bossche is that the immune response generated by the vaccine may thwart the immune system in generating an effective response to future variants after infection[0].

I don’t have enough insight into the immune system’s intricacies to evaluate whether such claims might be legit, but once variants start to emerge that really evade most of the current vaccine-induced immune response, this question will become increasingly important.

It's probably a bit biased because I develop on Firefox/Chrome (very rare to find difference between the 2) and have to wait for reports/borrow an iOS device to test/debug. There might be similar issues with the aforementioned browsers, but the pain is less visible because it happens during development and I don't remember it. Also most of our users are using iOS devices, so reports for them are more likely. On the other my gut feeling is that iOS is more painful to develop for.
Trump was removed from Twitter and Facebook on January 6th, not January 20th.

There are few things that can dampen First Amendment protections (to say nothing of Section 230 protections). Incitement to violence or insurrection is one of them (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent_lawless_action), and on January 6th, Twitter and FB made the judgement call that it was too likely that's what the President was doing. Perhaps if one turns one's head and squints, one could consider it government censorship because the CEOs of those companies didn't want any risk at all they'd be hauled into a Congressional oversight (or a court) over the use of their platforms in aiding and abetting an insurrection, but it's a strange type of government censorship that censors the President, isn't it? It's not entirely out of the realm of possibility in the US, given that Congress and the Courts are independent branches; perhaps one could make a claim that Congress can apply indirect pressure to shape what a President may say.

(There is, perhaps, more to be said on the topic in terms of why he's still banned from those sites).

Focus Wall is a clean and minimalist wallpaper app that lets you keep everything you need to focus on right in one place, your wall!
We've all been there, creating numerous to do lists upon to do lists, both on paper and digitally, and ending up with something that might get a bit messy at times. The list in your phone memos is different from the one on your to do app which is again different from your post-its.

That's where Focus Wall comes in, keeping all your important to-dos in that one perfect place that see everyday, your desktop wall!
Also, if a market is efficient, prices will closely track (marginal) use value. If a brand can demand a price premium, it's because their products are higher quality, and nobody has been able to produce a comparable product at a lower cost. Red Wing boots are more expensive than Timberland boots, for example, because they're made from full-grain leather and have good quality control, and they will last the rest of your life if you care for them properly. (They're more expensive than New Balance sneakers, too, but Nike sneakers are the same price as Red Wing boots without being of high quality, for the Veblen-good reasons you cite.)

That's why when I buy wine for my girlfriend I don't buy the cheapest brand. It's not that I think the wine market is efficient, particularly when I'm at a supermarket that can charge whatever price they want instead of comparing prices at https://1000corks.com/; it's that I think my ignorance of wine is deeper than the market's inefficiency.

As a landlord, having an eviction order is only the first step in physically removing someone that isnt paying.

I live in Slovakia and I have spent €4112.09 in entire 2020 on everything (housing, food, hobbies, ...), I don't have a car so that could raise your spending (although you should not need one, you're be sitting on your ass making a game, mass transit is decent too). I also live in my own 1 room apartment so no rent, but bills are like 120/month (heating, water, maintenance, ...). Health insurance is €80/month. Internet costs €7/month for 80 MBit/s. Cheapest shared local lamp web hosting costs €3/month. Lunch in restaurant €5. Avoid capital and go to second or third largest city. If you are not white you will get stares.

Not in my university, i had a used toshiba 386sx25Mhz as a laptop with Windows 3.11. The fastest public desktop computer was a 486DX2 running at 66Mhz, around 6 of them on the 4th floor from the physics faculty, that was early 1994. It was running Mosaic and Netscape 0.9 or so with Win 3.11, no dual boot. When I got my own room and built myself a 486DX5@133 Mhz I got RedHat linux on it, dual booting, I think it was '95. My roommate had a pentium with Windows98SE running Moria, he was quite addicted to it.
Perhaps some very adventurous types were trying out Linux on their own machines in 1993 but distributions were all pretty new, I am not sure it was written about in Byte or C'T magazine in 1993. Perhaps it was discussed on mailinglists or usenet groups, but it was not really findable on the www I think. I frequented a site called 'on the bleeding edge' featuring a picture of a knife (or so I remember) and a list of kernel version numbers and patches. Not sure what date, but might have been '95.

I remember downloading and compiling kernel 1.1 or 1.2 - which were released in 1994. In 1995 I bought the offical RedHat CD's, I might have tried Slackware or Debian floppy disks earlier. A friend was running Linux with X-Windows, Emacs and Mosaic on his Pentium with WindowMaker or AfterStep. No dual-boot. He was on usenet (with the built-in netscape usenet reader) and played with Lisp, he had studied physics (or was it philosophy) at the Utrecht University. Heaps of Byte and Astronomy magazines and SF books littered in his room where he enjoyed a glass of wine and a cigar. I occasionally dropped by for a chat about linux, SF, astronomy and the meaning of life and my own troubles. I think he had dropped out of college for some reason years ago but I never dared asking why. He was brilliant and stayed in the student dorm as a senior. Unfortunately at 45 or so he died in his sleep I heard later when I wasn't living there anymore. He had a good job at the municipality and was well respected for his knowledge, seriousness, dry and dark humor and wit and was still living in the student dorm.
If the laws are idiotic, you can always employ people who work outside it.

A team of Romanian/Bulgarian/Polish big guys will take care of your squatter problem for less than 1000 Euros. There's likely people of other nationalities doing this, I wouldn't know, I only dealt with these three and they operate everywhere.

Scanning is pretty inexpensive. Maintaining a complex system that passes the scans? That's something different altogether.

If I take a clunker to a mechanic, how much will it cost me to hear everything that needs fixing? About $150. But actually performing the fixes? One order of magnitude greater - and that's if I'm very, very lucky!
If you look at other countries with a lot of bike infrastructure, you can see that your point doesn't really hold up to reality. First, reducing road usage so only those who can't use a bike (for whatever reason) helps everyone, since it allows more efficient transportation and encourages a denser city (see the linked post). (this partially handles time, in dense city centers bikes can be often faster already)

Most people can use an electric bike (this checks the energy part) and with electrical cargo bikes can transport a lot without a lot of physical exertion.

And, last but not least, for those who truly can't use anything bike-like the fan-favorite netherlands allows the use Canta, very small microcars, on bike lanes. These are way cheaper than cars and need less skills to drive, so elderly can drive them as well.

Way better than requiring everyone to drive couple tons worth tens of thousands of dollars after absolving an expensive and time consuming course on how to use them without injuring anybody or worse.

PS.
I don't know many children that can drive a lot on roads without a bicycle. That's a very weird example. I don't think many people advocate removing sidewalks in favor of bike lanes.
If they are healthy and have survived Covid with natural immunity, that overall beats all vaccines. Antibody and T-cell tests tests are available to find out if they have already recovered from an an infection. If they have not been isolating much for the past 18 months, e.g. first responder or other essential worker, they were likely infected and already recovered.

If they are not yet infected, are healthy and take precautions to isolate at the first sign of illness, they are a lower transmission risk than a vaccinated person who gets infected but whose symptoms are suppressed by the vaccine, so they don't know they should isolate. CDC recommends that vaccinated people exposed to SARS-CoV-2 should be tested after exposure, and then wear a mask if the test is positive, https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210729/cdc-reverses-guidan... & https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vac...

> Even if they’re not showing symptoms, fully vaccinated people should “get tested 3-5 days after exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 and wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days after exposure or until they receive a negative test result,” the agency’s website says ... “Our updated guidance recommends vaccinated people get tested upon exposure regardless of symptoms,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, MD, told The New York Times in an email. “Testing is widely available.”
Ignore the technical implementation then, it's still obvious that they have always been able to quietly spy on exactly everything you do on the phone. Definitely no need for this crazy CSAM tech if spying is what they want to enable.
I think human diet is selecting humans out. Nature didn't create food products, humans did. We took food, and created a product. How absolutely mind boggling dumb that just sounds to me. Food doesn't have ingredients; food are ingredients.

Nowadays people extend luck to include:

- Your genetics
- Your intrinsic abilities
- Your intrinsic tastes
- Your parents
- The teachers you had
- The time you were born in
- The environment you were born in
- Etc.

So for example for mathematics you'd assume you need some predisposed genetics, you need some good education towards it, access to books and material, you need to be someone who loves doing math, you need to be in a position to have the time to dedicate to math (so access to food, shelter, etc.)

Since all these things are out of your control, the question becomes, what if you bad lucked in all of them, can you still, through sheer hard work, make a valuable contributions to the field of mathematics (and not by luck of hitting your head, or stumbling randomly on a key fact), but simply from your constant effort towards it?

But I'd say I think the author presupposes you've been mostly lucky already, and is talking about how to go beyond that luck, and achieve even more gains with what you do have control over.
It does look like there's little activity in the last couple months and none in the last almost 2 months.
W/R/T your second point, one of the things I touched on was whether or not those with natural immunity are more likely to experience repeated exposure after acquiring immunity. For instance, is a healthcare worker more likely to experience "micro-doses" of virus exposure that helps consistently refresh antibody levels? This is a potential reason as some sources have stated that the third booster shot is generating 5-10x the antibody levels as observed than after the second shot, and a higher number of free antibodies should be associated with a smaller chance of re-infection.

The other potential that jumps out to me is that only targeting the spike protein is causing the drop in protection, as in theory that should be the only type of antibody a only-vaccinated person would have. The potential conclusion to draw there is that antibodies developed for other antigens on the virus may not be as effective as the spike protein, but when combined help retain that higher level of effectiveness when the spike protein mutates. If that's the case, I wonder if having a inactivated/attenuated vaccine as the "third-dose" may end up being more effective, or if the immune system would ignore the additional antigens in favor of the one it already has.
