> Regardless, my mode of travel is to try to meet people, stay long enough that I can live normally as a local...

The thing is that as a tourist/traveler, it's not all about you (or me). You need to consider and be respectful of the impact your experience can have on the very locals you want to live like.

Your desire to have a kitchen is reasonably not more important than a local's desire to not see the apartment next to them converted into a illegal short-term rental where random strangers routinely come and go, or to be priced out of the market because it's more profitable for landlords to convert properties into illegal short-term rentals.

Incidentally, "living like a local" is about more than having a kitchen and this is in my opinion one of the most overused terms among the nomad set, but that said, if you really want to stay somewhere longer term and have a visa that lets you do so, you can try to rent a property legitimately. In fact, finding a legitimate rental, meeting a landlord, signing a lease, etc. is a perfect opportunity to "live like a local".

> Many of the places I've visited have few or no hotels. One place I actually did stay in a hotel... the only hotel in the entire town, which also had the only restaurant in the entire town in it. In communities like this, someone offering you a room in their home or letting you rent their apartment while they are away is a critical pathway to being able to travel there in the first place and I don't think attracts the sort of people expecting a packaged experience.

As you said, some places don't even have regulations because they don't see many tourists. It's one thing to show up in a town that's off the beaten track and be introduced to someone who will rent you a room for a few nights. It's another to have property owners interested in maximizing their earnings advertising their property to every Tom, Dick and Harry using the internet.

I was trying to amusingly challenge the reader to separate the two meanings of accident (car crash and something that happened unintentionally) just like most writing about crashes tries to get the reader to conflate them. :)
I don't understand why this is surprising. The embodied energy of lithium cells is enormous, and it takes 30,000 miles or more of EV driving before you've paid back the CO2 debt of manufacturing the battery pack (that is, assuming you're driving an EV largely manufactured using fossil fuels, which they are, and you are driving somewhere with a reasonably high percentage of renewable electricity sources in the grid).

More fun calculations include "how many solar panels would we need to power one Gigafactory" and "how many wind turbines would we need to manufacture that many solar panels".
As much as I like to have something else leading this market other than AWS (I hate them for several reasons, but insensitive billing plans, cockpit like interface and lock-in services are the top ones), I'd also hate to see Cloudflare become another AWS.

Are there any tech disruption that will make computing resources affordable for solopreneurs/startups as they once used to be. For the past decade I've seen a very slow gradual decrease in the affordability of cloud computing cost. I trust WASM and WASI will have a huge effect in democratizing the market but I'm not sure yet.
"The problem with this order is that it directly attacks one of the characteristics that has always been associated with art – Progressivism."

Whatever the rationales of the order, this, I think, is a preposterous remark. Big "P" Progressivism is divine providence for atheists. All manner of hideous things have been justified under the woolly mantle of "Progress". That Progressivism has invaded art and turned it into a fad-driven enterprise full of inscrutable fluff and pretense does not mean that is what art is or what it has always been. That art can change, improve, discover new beauty, etc. does not mean that it must, and even here this is not the same as Big "P" Progressivism because the Progressive, despite the misleading appellation, worships change. Change, for him, is this mystical Progress. Just look at his political slogans, but don't ask him for the measure of the Progress. That is his undivine mystery. That is the his Faith. To inquire is to blaspheme. At least Christianity holds mystery to be thoroughly intelligible, if exceeding human capacity to exhaustively know.

The author then writes:

"The supporters of this order only wish to retain the classical architecture that is found around the capital because for them it represents a distant past that is always superior to the present and cannot be interrogated."

As noted, if there is anything that resists interrogation, it is Progressivism. Note how the author, out of malice or out of foolishness, reduces support for the order to some nostalgia for a mythical past that never was. People like that surely exist, but this is not only uncharitable, it is an unjust dismissal of all those who have better reasons for preferring such architecture. Some modern architecture has its merits, it has its interesting contributions, but there is also a great deal, a great deal of anti-humanism and downright nihilist, to despise in it. The Progressive star architect is more interested in building monuments to his proverbial cock than he is in serving the people who will need to use that building and look at it for years to come.

"it is counterintuitive to assume that a progressive group of individuals would prefer to embrace outdated designs as opposed to new and progressive forms of modern architecture."

That word, "outdated", is one of the most pernicious words in the English language. It conflates the passage of time with improvement. You can only speak of something being better relative to an end, and the end itself must either be the nature of a thing, or in service of the thing (technology, for example, is in a sense an extension of man; you cannot make sense of technology except in terms of human nature).

So you tell me what is so "outdated" about the Stoa of Athens and yet so great about the Strata Center? Believe me, in two hundred years, people will still admire the timeless beauty of the Stoa and will look at the Strata with laughter, amusement, and disgust, if they even remember it at all. Maybe that's the lesson: we ought to reach for the timeless within our own time and place.
Well, a weakness is a weakness only to the extent that it neutralizes your strength. Like - is it important to spell? If you become very successful in your field despite not spelling well, then spelling is a waste of your time. On the other hand, if that flaw keeps you from getting jobs/being taken seriously then you need to fix it.

Yeah, I don't understand this marketing at all. "Scholarly"-what? It's a... nicer front end for their products?

The appeal of the product for me that it's an extremely well made, nice looking Genesis with HDMI and retains peripheral compatibility. It is in my mind an unofficial "Model 4 Genesis". I don't mind that it isn't a MiSTer and that I can't modify it further - to me I suppose it's like a fancy new record player. I like to physically take carts down off my shelf, look at the labels, plug them in and play them.

There's a lot of stuff out there that's just absolute junk in comparison, like the Retron you mentioned. Cheap plastic, tight cartridge ports that feel like they're causing damage, dodgy emulation.

I may build something like a MiSTer eventually but it will serve a different purpose.

Again, can you give me a definition. It sounds like something 'empty' an American would say. Do you mean, Liberty? Like from the French Revolution?

This discussion doesn't matter in the US anyway, because you already have economic triage, where there is just no hospital near poor people. So in the US, the poor people are just 'free to die'.

> You become one by knowing your tools and their flaws and strengths well.

Yes, that's why I said "I" am done with it, not "you should be done with it." There's no need for me to use it ever. Except when forced to with mbed, TFLiteMicro, and the occasional port of an Arduino driver to C.

I've been at this since before C++ existed. I've watched it come in to the world, and I've watched it mutate, Akira-like, into an academic omphaloskepsis.

EDIT: Fun story: I learned C++ in ... 1990? ... by watching a series of videos on VHS tape taught by none other than Bjarne Stroustrup himself. I think it was a bonus that came with the purchase of the first version of the Borland C++ compiler for OS/2.

Indeed, and I'd also recommend reading The High Price of Free Parking for all the ways we stupidly subsidize car culture.

As a transportation activist,
I'm used to drivers attempting to claim the progressive mantle by saying that a tech shuttle bus or proposed bikeshare station represents the privitization of public space, and then completely dismiss how free (that is to say, fully-subsidized) parking and cheap tolls do that to car manufacturers and owners and oil companies to a far greater extent.

If OP answered yes, we could have an actual discussion. If they answered no, I'd know that further discussion was hopeless.

They had a laugh because it's funny the first time, but this type of error will cause nightmares if the problem is not dealt with quickly.

Serious question: what would it take to make it illegal to send false tickets?

I am not a lawyer, but I think falsely accusing someone of a crime can be a crime if it's "known to be false"

In this case it wasn't "known" to be false because there was no human checking things.. but the fact they (who?) sent the ticket means they assumed it was true.
I had to go to traffic court and defend myself from a parking ticket because a meter monitor typed in my license plate instead of the offender’s.

I had a valid permit for the space, so I was good to go. When I went to court, the person had actually taken photos of the other vehicle (with a completely different license plate).

Thing is - in both systems there are costly errors - human and technical. You have to look at the total cost of the system to figure out the net benefit to society.

Next to my other comment here, let me do a quick calculation then, if you are correct.

BTC = 60K * (0.4 USD + 0.6 USDT)

Now let's say USDT is only backed by USD at 50%, that would make:

BTC = 60K * (0.4 USD + 0.3 USD) -> 0.7 USD, which would put the price of BTC at 42K USD.

I can live with that :D.

I had to use Ether recently to write a Linux image to a pendrive (it didn't work when I used Rufus, they specifically stated on the site to use Etcher) and I couldn't believe what a piece of trash software that is.

To think I had to install an over a 100 MB application to do such a trivial task, it was mind-boggling.
I've heard a lot of anecdotes suggesting that this has happened in many cities across the world. It certainly seemed to be a trend in New York for a while, which was/is already suffering with restricted supply, wild speculation, and immense demand driving up prices.
The discussion here is centered around very desirable centralized locations. Out in the countryside things look very different. You can buy surprisingly cheap houses 2h outside of Berlin. Nobody does.

I'm sure someone has a use case for when the data being public is inconsequential.
For almost everyone, none. delete doesn’t remove the method from the overload set, it leaves it there in order to give the caller an error saying don’t do that.

Do you always attack people so personal? "Education on me has been wasted" :)?

I said GroenLinks was dominant under upper white middle class. Which it is since it's the biggest party in the council at the moment and was by far the most popular in White upper class neighborhoods like west and ijburg last local elections. And is by far, with it's dominant leader, the most dominant voice in the current council; to call them left is not a stretch, it's in their name.

D66 likes to join coalitions and then mostly leans in the direction of the dominant party, the house restrictions policy for sure can be described as anti capitalistic since they limit the free use of your capital (,house). For instance needing a permit to live with more then 3 adults in your own house is a new law they passed last year. Or only allowing buyers that will live in the houses.

I don't agree or disagree with all policies; but it's definitely not a stretch for me to classify them as left.
Been doing that for a while, but it's a workaround at best insofar as the opcache bug is concerned. I wouldn't call it elegant. A thing that calls itself a cache should be able to handle evictions without throwing up.

It's also the kind of workaround that isn't applicable to the vast majority of PHP sites out there: beginners running WordPress on a single box. One day, you update a few plugins like a good security-minded person should do, and this causes a bunch of cache invalidations. Bam! The site is down and the error messages aren't helpful. It really doesn't help bolster PHP's reputation as a stable, beginner-friendly language.

Best OTT App Builders in 2021
Haven't watched the video, but I recently watched Timothy Roscoe's OSDI keynote on operating systems and hardware [0], where he argues for the operating system to include all of the kernel, device drivers and blobs that manage the SOC. He points out that the system emerging from the interaction of these components is complex and essentially unarchitected.

After watching his talk, I wanted to figure out how a computer, say a Raspberry PI, _really_ works. And build an operating system for it. Maybe in Rust?

There is a hardware compatibility page with user reports.

The main thing is that, to be practical, it needs at least 16GB of RAM. With only 16GB, you will want to use the ZRAM swap driver on your linux VMs. Dunno if any equivalent exists for windos.

Do you have any sources for your "ICE uplift" default value of 50%? I'd also be curious to know where you got your numbers for manufacturing CO2 from.
It's really sad how throughout the western world governments have come to rely on big tech monopolies to act as their enforcers instead of just enforcing the law using the normal machinery of the state.

Once the state becomes addicted to enforcement via big tech, it becomes reluctant to break up those big tech companies and promote competition.
Heavily depends on where you are on the income curve. Also, I think a more apt comparison would be a more touristy place like florida which has no income tax and relies more on tourism taxes.

As an example, a person making $100,000 would pay $22,754 in florida whereas someone in the netherlands making €86,176 would pay €32,989 in income taxes. Then you also need to factor in the 21% vat vs 6% sales tax. Also gas is $3.179 a gallon vs €7.158 a gallon. That's a pretty big tax difference!

Don't forget about the rust belt. Our problem is no one wants to live here.
I believe the thing we often need to learn is the thing we're afraid of learning. We often (always?) have weaknesses that can/do jeopardize our strength and closing those weaknesses is crucial.

The famous Scott Galloway (whom I had as a b-school professor) made this point like this: if you are a great guy, great father, great boss, etc, but once in a while you get violently drunk and hurt people in your life - THAT thing offsets everything else. You won't become better by "doubling down" on what you're already good at, but by fixing this flaw.

Another case - I used to manage a C++ developer. If you gave him a tight spec, he'd implement it perfectly. But the world we lived in required him to go talk to people to figure out what the real needs are, and he was bad at that. So his code always solved the wrong problem unless someone was helping him with this stuff.

Every year, his own developmental goal was to go learn the next C++ standard. And that would have been useless because he was already a great C++ programmer. Going from 97th percentile to the 98th wouldn't matter. The much bigger bang for the buck would be figuring out how to go sit down with a sales rep and say "OK, what's our client actually trying to do here?"

It sounds simple but I believe this held him back not just in work but in life. I happen to know that he didn't have great communication with his wife and kids either - solving this thing would make him so much better at all parts of his life.

The thing is - we all have glaring things like this - obstacles in our own trajectory that if we fix, our existing strength would really shine.
There have been multiple cases where reactors haven’t fully shut down safely. Assuming a scram will 100% work every time in an emergency simply isn’t appropriate or realistic.

Also, Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station has 3 different 4000MW thermal reactors, 7% of that is 280MW, though sure if everything shuts down properly it should hit ~15MW. Mitsubishi APWR is aiming for 4.5GW thermal in normal operation though some safety margin needs to be considered on top of that.

A video I watched recently comes to a very different conclusion on almost every point you raised: that buying a new electric car is better for the environment within ~5 years of use, taking into account the 'new car' footprint.
