Day to day, it's still much more convenient having a day definition that is roughly aligned with your waking hours, so that the change of calendar date happens when you're asleep or otherwise don't really care about it.

Solar time (even if quantized to a limited number of time zones) roughly achieves that, a single global time zone on the other hand clearly fails at that task (except for the privileged minority living near wherever the meridian ends up).

Examples are Searles Valley Minerals which extracts boron from the brine under Searles Lake, CA [1] and Rio Tinto's lithium extraction plant which uses waste rock from the Borox mines in Boron, CA [2].

It takes time to spin up production to 10 million tons per year - which is the scale of boron or silicon production according to the wiki - but now that lithium is worth something, it's just a matter of time and incentives.

Another source engine cheat dev here. Source has had dormant entities at long ranges in culled-off areas [sectors of the map demarcated by func_areaportal] since... as long as I can remember.

Your cheat couldn't see those players because the server was doing a very cheap and primitive visibility calculation, deciding the player entities are dormant for you, and choosing to not send you the data for them.

This is different from the later-enabled player PVS system, which does more expensive ray casting once you get a certain distance away, which cut down on wallhack cheats a lot more [although they are still very useful]
In a world of ideals, I agree with this. Just like I agree that waiters should earn a living wage and I shouldn't have to tip them. But we don't live in that world. Corporations have a ton of influence on governments and I think that singling out instances where a company is considering doing something that supports women's rights is a bit silly.

Thanks for the question!

When you sync a database, by default the connection will be Notion -> Sheets. Then you can make specific columns Sheets -> Notion, but not both ways the same column.

The idea is to enable a much bigger set of formulas and calculations that are not possible or really complicated in Notion so you can make them in Google Sheets and those values will be then sent to Notion, for example you can use GOOGLEFINANCE, IMPORTXML formulas or even mix and match different databases without the need of relations and roll ups.

Similar to how you define a formula property in Notion now but done in Sheets.

If you have a formula in a column in Sheets, you don't want it to get overwritten by a manual change in Notion . I am doing some testing with 2 way sync but with the current Notion API and change mechanisms in Sheets it is not straightforward to have something that just works for all the cases

Is this actually true though? Nobody currently living in Texas just woke up and realized that they live in a deeply conservative state. Even Austin is much more conservative than Seattle or SF.

I have coworkers living in Texas and while they’re disappointed in the ruling, I haven’t heard of a single person planning on moving because of it. Most people I know moved there because of the land, property taxes, climate, etc. The politics situation is unfortunate to them, but not a defining problem. And considering these same people have the resources to get abortions no matter what (not to mention the fact that most abortions happen in low-income, marginalized communities), I don’t foresee many people leaving because of this.
This is a good point, decisions are not obvious just from understanding how reality works. But you'll certainly get a lot of decisions wrong if you don't.

Do really, really nice sneakers last a lot longer than the $40-60 pairs I'd wear, back when I wore sneakers a lot? Even with fairly careful wear, mine would look so shitty I wouldn't want to re-sole them, by at most a year, and often by the 6 month mark they'd be looking iffy. I can't imagine a pair surviving with the body of the shoe still in good-enough shape that they'd be worth re-soling by the time the sole was worn enough to warrant that (some shoe goo to extend lifetime of a well-worn pair, on the other hand, makes sense).

Are people doing this with Danners or something? Rancourt & Company court shoes? Or do $xxx+ Nikes really hold up that well?

From what I'm reading online it seems to be legal to leave Texas to get an abortion currently.

Maybe Apple has some framework for medical privacy in place they could leverage for this, and I've read Salesforce has already done it.
That’s exactly what it is. And lots of posturing.

But people need to let this play out before making business decisions or boycotting Texas. This thing will go away. It just needs to find its way to the courts. Cancel culture demands instant action, but that’s not how government works.

There is a doctor in San Antonio that just notified the state/medical board that he performed abortions after the law went into effect. It’s expected that he’s ready for the fight and I’m sure he’ll get all the legal support he needs. If apple or others want to be a part of the solution, there are certainly less kneejerking ways to do it.
Frontier is currently $50 per person for a roundtrip from Dallas to Denver. Hotel is about $80 night.

The population is on track within a few years to double since I was born, regardless of what happens in Asia and the West. For example, fertility rates in just Africa are up to 6.8 in some countries, with just them producing more new humans than the entire world did, say, 70 or so years ago. Within a couple decades or so, just Nigeria will have more humans in it than the entire US at current rates. So no, I'm not worried about overall population decline.

I do wish it were true though. I've lived out in the countryside most of my life, and have seen it get utterly destroyed for more houses, strip malls, warehouses, and other sprawl. The natural world has really taken one for the team to make room for all the people we already have.
I’m not aware of any domestic terror attacks (shootings?) where asset forfeiture has even been raised as a contributing factor.

I really would like to get Valve interested in NixOS (or Guix), because it really is a much better foundation for what they are trying to do. Especially when juggling old precompiled games, it's essential to be flexible with multiple versions of libraries etc. But e.g.

FlatPak is just that, which is the pendulum swinging too far in the other direcition when you want the Steam Deck Steam OS too still be a coherent experience outside specific games.

The proof of that latter is simple: any fedora silverfish-like pure flatpak thing is still vapourware at this point, where Nix and Guix are production-ready, and very self-contained so one can be sure they aren't going to suddenly fail outside of your control.

It could work like intellectual property law was meant to work in the first place?

Patents are a limited monopoly granted in exchange for all of the technical details of the invention so that the invention can be built by others after the monopoly period expires. "All of the technical details" for a software patent should be expanded explicitly require "all of the relevant source code" and for good measure "relevant" should be described widely and probably "virally" (ala "copyleft"; maybe requiring a "copyleft" license?).

Copyright is a limited monopoly granted in exchange for helping to insure that the product eventually is available to use by the public domain. For many years the US had a legal requirement for active copyright that a copy of every book be sent to the Library of Congress for cataloging. (This is no longer a requirement, though some US publishers still do it as a courtesy.) A requirement could easily be made that for software copyrights to be enforced in a court of law that same software must have all source code registered with a US Software Source Code Depository. We collectively could do a lot of interesting things to build automated tools for that.

Back in the day when copyright required published books to be sent to the Library of Congress not every publisher followed the law and so it was exploited some, but if you get caught (exploiting it) not registering your source code and then get taken to court over it: you lose your copyright immediately, the court has the power to order you to hand over your source code, and at the very least makes it fair game as a part of the public domain to reverse engineer your software if your source code can't be found.

On the surface it sounds like a great idea. It's also a very unlikely idea because it would require new legislation and would be opposed by many lobbies of corporate lawyers.

I used to visit it regularly until about a decade ago, but I felt too many of the posts were unnecessarily getting too political.
Civil asset forfeiture is an extralegal action.

This is categorically wrong. CAF is outside of the criminal legal system, but is very much part of the civil legal system, and the governments loses CAF cases more often than they win them in CAF cases preceding or not involving related criminal cases. (But conversely, the governments almost always win CAF cases that occur after succesful criminal cases involving drugs, racketeering, fraud, or financial crimes.)

CAF cases make the news when the victim doesn't get their money back in a timely fashion, for the same reason that fires and earthquakes do: because that's not the normal state of things.

CAF is problematic, especially the way it is run in the South and Midwest, but don't make it out to be something that it isn't.

EDIT:
The OP asserted that CAF was extralegal, and it absolutely is not. CAF is specifically authorized by the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984, a federal law.

The OP asserted that the "terrorists won" even though CAF predates 9/11 and was created to combat organize crime. (CAF laws in the U.S. date back to the 1700s, but were infrequently used until roughly 1920 when they were used to target organized crime during Prohibition. The modern federal CAF law was passed in the 1984, to fight the "war on drugs", specifically referring to the drug cartels, and were modeled on the Prohibition Era CAF laws.)
Pssst! Don't give them ideas!
The polls I've seen put support for civil asset forfeiture to around 16%. So there's plenty of public support to end it.

The police are powerful though, and proceeds from this don't seem to terribly well accounted for in every PD. We know the feds and the local prosecutors get their cut, but after that... They are going to throw everything they can at keeping this gravy train alive.

The problem with tipping online is not that people are unreasonably stingy. It's that people are reasonably lazy. A lot of people are happy to toss a few coins to their Witcher. But, it has to be trivially easy to do so or they won't bother. Requiring even trivial effort to give away money is unreasonable.
That was a "no standing" ruling -- they can't enjoin the Attorney General of Texas because he doesn't enforce the abortion rule. Once there is a case with standing, it'll bubble up to the supreme court.

Let's step back and pretend like the TSA/police never engage in civil asset forfeiture in the first place. That issue aside, this is still a colossally stupid way to make a transaction.

A thousand bad outcomes that are possibly more likely than this scenario could have happened. The bag could have been lost in the taxi, lost by the airline, stolen by a passerby, left at home, and the list goes on.

Has this guy ever heard of Western Union? Bitcoin? A cashier's check? Anything else besides a suitcase full of cash?

This method of making a large transaction is so stupid that it's hard for me to even blame the government for considering it automatically suspicious. Of course, having no due process surrounding civil asset forfeiture is not right, but that doesn't mean that this transaction isn't suspicious.

I'd go ahead and play devil's advocate here: the only reason to carry this much cash is to do one of the following:

1. Evade sales and income tax (You can say this isn't your problem, or that the government should take less of our money anyway, but countries that have high tax avoidance rates have poor infrastructure and public services – tax avoidance hurts honest people the most)

2. Make a transaction to exchange illegal goods or people

It's entirely possible that this guy's story is just a lie. I think it's naive to pretend that this guy isn't likely to be connected to organized crime. That's the whole "organized" part of it: they're going to be armed with a good story and disciplined behavior, not like the people you see on Cops admitting guilt the second a beat cop starts asking questions.

The fundamental idea is "operating in high dimensions", and this does have some solid footing, e.g. see Cover's Theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover's_theorem). In fact I recently did a presentation of another paper (from FB AI Research and Carnegie Mellon), exploring the concept of projections to higher dimensions for sentence encoding tasks, see here: https://github.com/acatovic/paper-lunches/blob/main/fb-rands....

There is fair amount of research in the area of high dimensional computing, as well as with sparse representations, which seem to be grounded in neuroscience. As others have pointed out, a number of commercial research labs exists. There is Numenta with their Hierarchical Temporal Memory, and Vicarious (whose founder was one of Numenta's co-founders), as well as Cortical.io (who are borrowing sparse binary coding concepts from Numenta, combining it with self-organizing maps, and applying it to document understanding tasks).
