Tickets may be cheap and somewhat eco-friendly if made from whatever recycled paper and a drilling machine like in the old days. But i doubt that's the case, so you have to account for the financial and ecological costs of all the electronics and magnetic tapes, and all the replacement parts you need to keep that system of control operating. Also, if your tickets are sufficiently unsophisticated to be eco-friendly, then they may well be very easy to forge.

That is, without mentioning that controllers have to be paid without providing any service. If you additionally take into consideration the social cost of the criminalization of something as banal as using public transports when you don't have money, the benefits of doing away with these systems of control arguably are even more evident.
They should at least say something like "we're working with major ISPs to resolve the issue". It really comes off as walking away from a disaster of their own making.

When librarians speak of banned books, they are talking about books other people wanted banned, not the books librarians themselves wanted banned.

Harry Potter gets on these lists because some christian groups in America demanded that librarians remove the book from their shelves, while the librarians didn't want to. But books that the librarians themselves chose to not stock don't get on the list, because to a librarian, a librarians job is to select which books to stock and which not to. You are very unlikely* to find a copy of Myth of the 20th Century on the shelves of your local public library, not because of external pressure but because the librarians themselves think that people shouldn't read it. And to librarians, that is not banning.

*(I checked. Of the two library systems I have a card for, one doesn't have it and the other has a single copy in German, which they won't let you check out, but no copies in English. Since this is an American library, the German copy would be inaccessible to huge swaths of the population anyway.)
I suspect you'd get a different picture if you include the additional depreciation/wear on the car.

It's 184 km one way. German tax authorities assume 30 cents per km (~110 EUR for a round trip), Austrian tax authorities use 42 (~154 EUR for a round trip). Now, the actual marginal cost may be lower if you already have the car, but it's far from obvious once those hidden costs are considered. Especially as you have to actively drive for those 4 hours instead of reading a book, watching a movie, ...

Y.T.'s mom pulls up the new memo, checks the time, and starts reading it. The estimated reading time is 15.62 minutes. Later, when Marietta does her end-of-day statistical roundup, sitting in her private office at 9:00 P.M., she will see the name of each employee and next to it, the amount of time spent reading this memo...

Y.T.'s mom decides to spend between fourteen and fifteen minutes reading the memo. It's better for younger workers to spend too long, to show that they're careful, not cocky. It's better for older workers to go a little fast, to show good management potential. She's pushing forty. She scans through the memo, hitting the Page Down button at reasonably regular intervals, occasionally paging back up to pretend to reread some earlier section. The computer is going to notice all this. It approves of rereading. It's a small thing, but over a decade or so this stuff really shows up on your work-habits summary.

I think we disagree on the "many". I would say "some" instead. Most people i know don't have a choice: they're employed in a shop somewhere or work from specific offices. Of course, the HN crowd may be more exposed to work-from-home, but that's still alien to a great part of the population, especially those who work the most precarious jobs.

With trains usually mobile-networks are used. And trains often travel through areas with on average less demand so weaker or no coverage. Also a train can cause pretty high peak on load on cell for relatively short time periods at time due to high number of passengers present in single train.
Its common as in the OP to see awk recommended for something as simple as extracting a column from tab or space-separated values. IMO, its quite a bit of typing to do on the fly at a command prompt. Performance-wise, it could be significantly slower that other utilities that are equally as ubiquitous as awk.

echo one two three|awk '{print $2}'

Are there other ways to do this. Are they faster.

cat > awc
#!/bin/sh
test $# -eq 1||exit
exec tr \\40 \\11|exec cut -f "$1"|exec tr \\11 \\40
^D

echo one two three|awc 2

Test it on a file to see if it is faster than awk.

time awk '{print $2}' file
time awc 2 < file
Hawaii had iirc 14 species of birds on the list that were all native to either one island or a portion of one, with some preferring certain altitudes or only living on certain plateaus, etc.

The funny thing about Hawaii though, is that there are only two or three (extremely isolated) places that remain with any true Hawaiian plant habitat, because Polynesians brought their own plants with them that almost universally outcompeted the native plants.

Birds on islands are some of the quickest animals to specialize and differentiate into new species.

Which makes Hawaii incredibly interesting, from an island biogeography perspective.

Something as simple as the fact that no mosquitos made it to Hawaii until Captain Cook accidently introduced them, means no native fish, frogs, birds, lizards, or anything that specialized in eating them.

Now extrapolate that to wiping out all the native flora and replacing it.

That so much biodiversity remains in Hawaii today ought to actually give us some comfort in nature's ability to quickly adapt to significant change.

Hello friend, I am glad you like my idea of an online platform for students to find tutors.

I am not sure who the competition is exactly although I am sure there are plenty of companies offering tuition. I benefited immensely from remote affordable tutors during the Covid-19 pandemic lock down and realised there are many highly educated teachers out there who can teach online at around 1/3 of the local price. Hence the idea was born.

Screening and evaluating tutors, I have found an experienced teacher to help me interview and vet the tutors to make sure they are child-friendly, qualified and competent.

> In other words, as much of a problem as in any ISA that has seen incremental improvements.

That's way overstated. RISC-V is still an amazingly clean and elegant design, placing extreme focus on technical excellence and on making effective use of limited insn encoding space. (Just look at how cautious the ratification of B and V has been - some of that was due to wanting to maximize feasible overlap between B and other exts, so as to avoid wasting even the smallest fractions of insn space). Tiny warts like SLT returning 0/1 as opposed to 0/-1 don't change that in any way.

This looks excellent especially for keyboard navigation. May I give a suggestion? Add support for PgUp & PgDown to skip couple items, both in the post list view and the comment list view.
Price gouging is a real thing and "the price of things is higher than it usually is due to increased demand and reduced supply" is actually part of it's definition. I.e. price gouging isn't a replacement for the supply/demand model rather a description in certain extreme cases of said model, often regulated cases depending on the jurisdiction.

Traditionally it referred to traditional survival items though, not just any item.

> If you install a server distro, the number of default processes is pretty minimal.

It depends on which processes. If you include kernel threads (which show as processes), the number of processes can get pretty huge, especially on many-core servers (several of these kernel threads are per-core).

I don't know whether on FreeBSD kernel threads show up as separate processes; if they don't, it might explain part of the difference.

Yes, the annual banned books list is essentially a list of books favored by the averaged ideology of education majors, librarians, and journalists. There is never anything actually suppressed or controversial on the list.

I'm not even arguing that truly censored books do have intrinsic merit, but the banned books list is just a list of books certain people want you to think are edgy and that you should read to advance their ideology. It's marketing. Amazon and other bookstores are actually banning books, often in collaboration with government funded NGOs. 95% of these books are actual trash fires, sure, but those are banned books. On top of that, public libraries are performing slow, partly ideological purges of existing collections - there's probably more books being permanently destroyed/lost today than in the history of mankind.
I think one interesting property about nighttime driving is that lots of objects and markers are high contrast. Lights of other cars, highway markings, what can be illuminated by headlights/etc

(aside from folks crossing the street in non-reflective dark clothing)

I think the worst time to drive - as a human - is right when the sun is coming up or going down, or under tree cover when you go into and out of shadow.
The number possible bit arrangements in 10TB is 2 raised to the power of 80 trillion.

This comes out to 3.1 × 10^24082399653118

To emphasize the size of that search space- let us measure the diameter of the observable universe in planck lengths, the shortest possible length. We would need over 24 trillion digits to write the number of universes we would need for the quantity of planck lengths to equal the number of possible programs.

That 99.99% number is missing several billion additional 9s.

There's two Let's Encrypt issues at play at the moment.

The issue that your comment about cached/discovered intermediates relates to is that some servers were still manually constructing the chain that goes leaf -> R3 -> DST Root X3, and the R3 intermediate signed by X3 expired on 29 September. This chain hasn't been returned by Let's Encrypt since May 2021.

The other issue relates to the current default chain returned by Let's Encrypt that goes leaf -> R3 -> ISRG Root X1 -> DST Root X3 for Android compatibility. Most clients are able to successfully build a valid chain from the leaf to the still valid ISRG X1, however, old versions of OpenSSL (pre-1.1.0) and several other TLS libraries that don't explore the graph correctly barfs at a chain that terminates in the now expired X3 root.

So, you may be right about scalpers providing nothing to society. But you are absolutely wrong about middle men in general. At a super high level, they have to provide value else they would be short circuited. Very often this value is in knowledge, both product knowledge, customer knowledge, and market fit. A good middle man can tell you that the thing you think you want won't fit your needs as well as some other product (bonus points if the product isn't something they personally sell). You will also find a high correlation between the health of an economy, and the number of middlemen present. It's actually something that has concerned me in the US for several years, that too many companies have been squeezing out the middle. I think it's exacerbated the current supply chain issues.

I was introduced to the topic on its own, so that colors my perspective as well I suppose.

If I were to think about what a high school student would get the most value out of, it would realistically involve a combination of linear algebra and statistics (getting into basic linear modeling/ols). You’d have to hand wave away some of the proofs which require knowledge of calculus, but high school classes aren’t very rigorous anyways.
My guess is that it's just easier to find Calculus teachers vs Linear Algebra teachers. Maybe it's less obvious in the US but when I have visited schools in poor countries you really get a sense of where knowledge in certain subjects tops out. I find people in the US seem to assume they can magically drum up a supply of linear algebra teachers, or the like. STEM teachers are technical professionals.

Have you ever had to pay for your own business internet connection that is offered by ISPs for the purpose of serving unlimited requests? It is not cheap, at all. Your home and/or business internet connection is a joke compared to that type of service.

I don't think they have huge margins on egress at all. There needs to be some incentive for customers of cloud services to minimize bandwidth usage. It is a limited resource.
I would extend "file browser" to be the more general "tree navigation" - for instance, Miller Columns[1] (which I believe is an accurate characterization of Haxplore's interface) are used in the Pharo environment[2] to navigate objects.

In general, though, I agree with you - I think that most of the media tools that we use today could benefit from Miller Columns and a keyboard-driven design....

But... most Coaches, continuing the locker room analogy, are not good athletes. It's incredibly rare for them to be as skilled as the folks they are coaching and its very likely they were never as skilled as the people they are coaching.

Yet they are good coaches. Managers !== Coaches but I think you understand what I'm saying. Yes there are managers who are so technically incompetent that they are not good managers but most technical managers last management skills rather than technical skills and in most cases the technicals are not as important as the management skills. Any CTO/VP/Director of a mid/large sized company is a good example of this. They are no longer hands on. Their effectiveness comes from their ability to manage others.

CPUs sold under the same name can have substantial differences in their overclocking headroom. Back when variation was larger, purchasing a new CPU was thus participating in the "silicon lottery", at least if you wanted to OC.

The siliconlottery site used to buy a whole lot of CPUs, test them, determine their max stable overclocks, and then sell the good ones at markup (and the not-so-great ones at a little below market). If you wanted the very fastest cpu money could buy, and didn't want to start binning cpus yourself, they were the best option.

The market has largely died out because the manufacturers have improved their binning and reduced variability to the point that the best chips are no longer meaningfully better than the average and OC rarely makes much sense anyway. In many ways, this is good for customers, but it is an end of an era.
Pertinent:

https://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbook...

a list of the Top 10 Most Challenged Books in order to inform the public about censorship in libraries and schools. The lists are based on information from media stories and voluntary reports sent to OIF from communities across the U.S.

So it's (1) voluntarily submitted, like an Internet poll, (2) it is from libraries AND schools (not just school libraries), and (3) the library had to already carry the book, which means that if the library itself felt like the book was too inappropriate to shelve, it will not be represented here.

In other words, take the NPR article with a grain of salt, or skip altogether. Whatever you learn is unlikely to be accurate.
