We live on some of the nicest and most interesting part of all of spacetime. I cherish every moment, even knowing our names and deeds will be long forgotten (at least I hope some of mine are) well before the first proton decays.
Thanks for your honesty.

Hopefully the NHTSA is also going to investigate the many other cars with traffic aware cruise control, which have the same problem with stationary vehicles.

I was driving my Rav4 with TACC enabled, and it would have crashed into a column of stopped cars if I hadn't noticed in time and intervened.
CATS ARE NICE (Death in Discworld)
This is forgetting to account for the accelerating expansion of the universe. Even if one were to depart from Earth today, traveling at light speed, 94% of the observable universe is already impossible to reach. See this excellent video for more detail: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uzkD5SeuwzM
UK defence secretary suggests US is no longer a superpower
Yes, in principle there are systems that could detect stationary hazards. But as far as I'm aware the best lidar and radar approaches are currently no better than Tesla's RGB approach. It seems that the AI is much more important than the sensor.
I think the tricky part would be the linkages where you'd need an electrical connection. Making that robust enough to be in the band but not too bulky would be a serious challenge. You'd also lose the big variety of bands and the sweet profit margins that they bring.
Modern equivalent: don't text or email when you can call, don't call when you can speak face to face, don't speak face to face if you can wink

you see powerful people following this advice all the time, like with Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch’s tarmac meeting. He flew in a plane to talk face to face just to ensure it wouldn't get recorded.
Oh what a time to be alive. Future generations will have to rely on stories, eyewitness accounts, and gripping tales of stellar formation, and willmonly have access to imported, factory-made stars.

How We Ran Out of Cars in the US
Θα ήθελα να σας ενημερώσω ότι τα ελληνικά γράμματα είναι πνευματική ιδιοκτησία της Ελλάδας από το 800 πΧ.

Come at me, bro.
Can you provide examples of what you had in Asia that you are missing in Europe? And which countries.
I want one of these so badly. I know it's not really practical for an American to own outside of maybe 3 city centers across the country, but they look so freakin cool.

Unfortunately, importing one will not be possible until they reach antique status and by then who knows what will be wrong with them considering how much tech is inside. Honda makes great cars, but I don't expect any car with so many new tech features (screen mirrors!) to be operating at 100% after 25 years.

Also, by that time, I'm sure there will be other cool cars that have made it to the US market that fill a similar niche. I'm just annoyed they aren't available now!
Python in 2021: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Awesome, thank you!

EDIT: Unfortunately, it only works if you have actually/accidentally searched a library that _does_ have the book. So you still have to switch libraries manually, _until_ you have a lucky hit, _then_ you can check all other libraries with a button.
This is vastly oversimplifying the concept of a “document”. Many times, documents have dynamic content, and therefore must be processed through some kind of controller back-end.

Another thing I disagree with:

> On-the-fly "building" of documents is, quite literally, fixing something that is not broken.

With modern tools like Markdown converters, we can make authoring of documents far easier than hand-coding HTML, so while building documents on-the-fly is less efficient, the efficiency actually shifts to the authoring side of things, and the cost to do conversion is trivial (in fact you could do JIT conversion and cache the result on the server so that subsequent request only delivered the cached cached version).
Oh, right, I remember the uproar from conservatives protesting the drone striking of a US citizen by the far-left Obama.

Remember the PATRIOT Act? Remember the NSA mass surveillance program (which is btw still ongoing)? Remember black sites? Remember Guantanamo Bay? Remember No Fly Lists? Remember the 60 Words? Remember the militarization of the police force? Remember dragnet phone surveillance? ... Remember the PATRIOT Act?

There were "mostly peaceful" protests that destroyed many of the larger city centers last year.

The very real threat to the normally peaceful suburbs that had police closing the Indiana/Illinois border near me made me strongly reconsider my need to be able to respond to such violence, and it created a large spike in gun sales across the US

Check out the philosophy of "Thrownness": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrownness

It's a branch, kinda of absurdist. Nothing matters, nothing ever has, but that's liberating, just enjoy and make the most of what comes.
The goal here is less implementing pong and more achiving the pong arcade machine, a seminal piece of computing and gaming history.

Similar to bsnes (now higan) whose primary purpose is less being able to play games and more reproducing how the systems behaves, even if that's inferior in some cases (because it doesn't work around bugs of the original software), because in theory it allows running all software for the system correctly as long as they can be dumped, and thus actually archiving the entire software library rather than just some, or an altered form of it / them.
Non-profit just means they don't make a profit. Not free. I imagine serving a bunch of video over the net is not free.

Getting with the program? You seem to have the idea this happened spontaneously, but it was nothing but: Japan and Germany's reconstruction and re-industrialization was by design, as part of the Bretton Woods system, Marshall Plan, and Truman Doctrine. Those countries were intended to be industrial hubs of Asia and Europe respectively: The US would invest in and build factories in those countries.

> To encourage long-term adjustment, the United States promoted European and Japanese trade competitiveness. Policies for economic controls on the defeated former Axis countries were scrapped. Aid to Europe and Japan was designed to rebuild productivity and export capacity. In the long run it was expected that such European and Japanese recovery would benefit the United States by widening markets for U.S. exports, and providing locations for U.S. capital expansion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system

When Chinese becoming isolated after 1949, they couldn't become a market for Japanese goods, we instead geared Japanese manufacturing for the Korean War effort. The US occupiers of Japan created the centrally-planned Ministry of International Trade and Industry to help build the equipment the US needed for the Korean War effort. It was an astounding success, and provided Japan the boost it needed to become a global industrial power even as the US waned.

If there's any phase China is entering, it's the New Dealer and Keynesian-dominated policies that were successful for the US after WWII, following Dengist liberalization of the economy. Except instead of investing in war, they're investing in infrastructure, and it's working.
> Does this imply that you can get another badge just by using the word fuck in a comment?

Perhaps, but it would be a bit immature to do so. Or even to quote someone else doing so.
I wonder if some of the motivation behind this is political (e.g. to avoid becoming dependent on US based payments infrastructure that can block transactions to certain countries in order to comply with US sanctions even when EU countries don't agree)?
In my country - and most I suspect - you have to make your house payment to a notary, about as far away from anonymous untraceable as you can get. I think that's good.

However, I am now hoping Affinity Client Services sends a cease and desist to Los Zetas.
With chargebacks, the customer's bank will (attempt to) reclaim the money from the vendor's bank.

For credit cards the credit card issuer also shares legal liability with the vendor for purchases over £100.

In the UK credit cards (as with almost all bank accounts) are usually completely free if you pay the balance in full every month. New accounts frequently come with years of 0% interest on balance transfers. They are also required by law to be jointly and severally liable for the completion of your purchase contracts with the seller if between £100 and £40k.

On the UI side, telegram-desktop does things in a radically different way from typical desktop software, that’s my objection, structuring things in a way that only makes sense on small-screen devices.

The Compose key can be customised via ~/.XCompose. I’m talking about things like U+1F928 FACE WITH ONE EYEBROW RAISED. Anything that has a graphical representation gets mangled.

On the alternatives: I haven’t ever tried much in this space, so I don’t know if there are any that I would consider well-done. Performance is probably the biggest objection to many of them.

I can't find hard numbers on how many republicans/dems votes yes or no on it, but it passed 98-1 in the senate, and only 66 no votes in the house. Yes a lot of republicans in congress (probably all of them at the time) voted yes on it, but most democrats voted yes on it too.
With the major caveat that rootless depends on /dev/fuse for the overlay filesystems (unless you hate yourself and want to use vfs), so you can't use it inside a Kubernetes container unless it's privileged or has the SYS_ADMIN capability added.

This is how we end up with beautiful hacks like Kaniko for building container images inside container workflows. Le sigh.
New Zealand law does have a concept of a place or object having a legal personhood, for example Te Urewera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Te_Urewera, and I'm not kidding, its literal meaning in English is The Burnt Penis).

I don't know if the US has such a concept though.

Agreed. I've done a lot of Rails over the years, and concluded that, except in the hands of a stable and incredibly disciplined, talented, and knowledgable-about-Rails team, it borders on being write-only.

We handle it by making online credit card payments super annoying (you have to login into our bank account and verify it with a second factor), so most people I know stopped using credit card payments.
I do agree that anecdotes shouldn't inform policy.
My bank here in Denmark will either issue you a credit card specifically for a US vacation, or strongly recommend that you call to have your existing card invalidate on returning home.

It's really easy to take a both-sides stance here, but the last presidency (ending in that same president causing an insurrection attempt at our capital) shows that one side is clearly more dedicated to authoritarianism than the other - socially, politically, and legally.

People really seem to be hung up on equivocating a sitting president attempting to overturn an election with people on twitter saying mean things.

I think the Goldilocks in terms of cost, mobility, reliability and convenient for camper would be based on conventional ute or pickup truck. This go (mostly) anywhere 4x4 vehicles can become converted camper without permanent modification to the vehicle that can be forbidden in certain countries, using the off-the-shelf camping kits supplied by company like ALU-Cab [1][2]. It can sleep maximum four persons and you can have your privacy inside the back of the pickup truck and inside the 'changing room' portable attachment for toilet, etc. There is also a tucked away place for containers at the top front of the truck that can be utilized as a huge litter bin. One of the linked videos is presented by the founder and the CEO of the company himself, which is kind of cool!

And if you not using the truck for occasional camping activities, it can be easily return to normal pickup truck.

Yep; this is -most- California library systems. A few are more stringent; Beverly Hills' library, for instance, requires proof of residency within LA County, not just anywhere in the state. But all require an in person visit (I got a San Diego card on a trip there a couple years back; will renew when next in San Diego).
This study did not use ivermectin like a normal antiviral dosage, I don't think it's conclusive.

You can't take one meta study and make claims that it doesn't work. What happened to the randomized controlled trials argument?
It does not always work. Early this year I added "NFT" to my list, tons of posts got through.
I’m not sure this corresponds to Australia too well. The opinion on Twitter is, for the most part, overwhelmingly critical of much of what the Federal Government does (and for much of it, I agree - this Government doesn’t have much of a legislative agenda, being largely reactionary. Much of the policy they do put out, like this, mass surveillance laws, etc. is not good. There are too many whiffs of corruption around, state capture by certain business sectors, generally poor executive governance, politicisation of the public service, etc.).

Twitter users here are (as a group) routinely insulted both in Parliament by Government MPs (usually as something like “that might be popular with the Twitter rabble, but…”) and in the media.

Increasingly the Government actually seems scared of it - for instance many grassroots groups (with names like “Voices of [electorate]”, “Voters of [electorate]”) starting on Twitter are showing potentially some real world clout, raising tens of thousands of dollars to campaign for independents and minor parties in electorates with the ruling party’s MPs. If they manage to swing the couple of percent some of these seats are held by, it could be several seats lost in the electorate. Just today Government figures were kicking up a stink, accusing them of breaching fundraising laws (they aren’t, according to them) which shows they’re at least somewhat rattled.
In the near future, Money, for purposes of personal consumption, will mean nothing because the populace will be forced by their government to consume the bare minimum to live and conserve planetary resources in an endless climate change lockdown.

Democracy is dead because it distributes benefits to the people based on their merit. In the future, all benefit of industry and productivity will be rationed and distributed based on need and consideration for the environment. You will own nothing, and you will be happy.

I think the western elite are in the process of committing civilizational suicide and consenting to being rolled up into Chinese hegemony because they can't do the whole one-child global climate lockdown permanent austerity depopulation agenda under a democratic government. Democracy failed because it was bad for the environment and now we are seeing our leaders commit mass suicide of their countries to save the environment. This is not a temporary emergency, this is forever and they really have to have the systems of control on super tight to manage it. Which is what we are seeing here with the current totally overboard Coronavirus pandemic measures.
All the pilot has is an approximate location, which is then reported to the FAA (I assume). By the time the relevant authorities are dispatched, the person has most likely stowed the laser. There is not enough specific information (address, name, etc) to get a proper warrant, so the crime goes completely unpunished. The cases that do get punished are probably repeat or persistent offenders.
IMO there should be something done so that OTA broadcasts should also be made available online and free of charge, without DRMs, through a standardised protocol (including the tv guide whenever possible). It would be nice to have the option to map all these signals through a unified IPTV app.

I didn't misread it at all.

1. You are trying to shift blame away from Tesla and onto the drivers

2. Tesla is doing the same thing by pretending not to understand the brains of carbon based life forms, hoping most people accept it on face value and don't think too hard.

Placing the issue on individual psychology: "why did this guy shoot his own head on purpose, why did this guy drive drunk"

instead of on fundamental human psychology: "oh surely the drivers will simply take over control instantly and without warning after staring straight and doing nothing for 2 hours"

...is the whole problem. They need to consult psychologists instead of crying that they aren't responsible for their own system design.

So it's entirely Tesla's fault. They aren't making cars for Lt. Commander Data. They're making cars for human beings
Tell me more about the benefits of disappearing CEOs, scholars, philanthropists and entertainers who (might?) challenge the Party.
The story of populism has always been the same though.

One of the elites who is on the outs or doesnt have a path forward uses it as a tool to grab power for themselves, then uses that power to do what elites always do.

It's pretty much NEVER that one of the lower classes is the one that rise up and gain power via populism. Even Stalin would be "Elite" in that he went to Seminary.
That's a bit extreme, but we have a billion years before this planet becomes a slightly bigger Venus, that should be enough time to figure out something.
