But the TGV network makes a profit as does the intercity network in the UK. So those subsidies are for commuter rail which make dense cities viable economic centres. If you don't subsidise those services then many more people are either forced to drive or they don't make a trip. If you take Kings Cross station as an example it would be literally impossible for 750,000 cars to pass through that area in the morning rush hour and once they got to their destination you would need 4.8 square miles of car parking area with circulation aisles. There are five more major rail termini in London with passenger number as high or higher than that and another five smaller ones that probably add up to one more. Major European and Asian cities are not viable without commuter rail. I would argue that the higher the subsidy, the better lubricated your cities are.

The problem with the UK is that if you compare HS2 to comparable French lines, we are 10 times less efficient at procuring public projects than they are. They can cross the Massif Central for ~€30m/mile, we cross the Midlands for ~€300m/mile. In flat country their costs are much lower, Paris-Bordeaux cost ~€10m/mile.
Well... indeed that was harsh. However I do understand, imagine you work with this (Kernel), know the "ins and outs" and someone wants to "put words in your mouth", this really feels disrespectful.

I'm not a Kernel developer, one day I might be (not smart enough yet), What I can do is express my opinions, concerns and thoughts about the future of the project, tho those who actually codes it, should be the ones to decide it.

He (and other prominent kernel developers) has manifested his interest many times, but is taking a strict "wait and see" approach (as you would expect from any big project manager). Whether it happens or not, Rust has gotten closer to inclusion in Linux than any other language.

> I wouldn't call the coin distribution fair if the creators can allocate arbitrary amounts to themselves, which the Worldcoin creators appear able to do.

I'm certainly not defending any of this … however, it should be noted that "creators can allocate arbitrary amounts to themselves" is a typical thing even in regulated markets. Notice how Trump's new social media became a public company through a SPAC? The man behind that move has two degrees from MIT.

If you want to go down that rabbit hole, go for it. But people become very wealthy, very fast, via allocating "arbitrary amounts to themselves" even in regulated markets. Financial shenanigans.

I simply believe in leadership, no company with Elon as a CEO has really failed to grow. The closest is maybe Solarcity but he was not CEO.

Tesla threw Elon has strong connection with SpaceX. They already share material science. SpaceX uses Tesla battery technology. The connection is strong. Electric flight (not flying taxis) is a clear next step for both companies and Elon has been wanting to do it for a decade. It will take another 3-5 years before this is a serious project, but I don't think any other company is really up to it. Boeing and Airbus are not gone do it.

Until then I see continue 50% growth for a long while based on EV and Storage.

If Self-Driving works out, its massive. I am not counting on that. Even just as a advanced level 2 system its a great asset. But if it works out, the potential value is huge.

People are complaining because screens have been fucking rectangular since forever! And this change forces klunky software compromises for no good reason.

If they made a triangle of extra screen area jut out on the right, you'd get extra screen space too. I bet people would still defend it not because "it's extra screen" but in reality because it came from Apple.

The fact that people are so willfully ignorant of that is amazing to me. The Apple-think bubble is stronger than I thought.

This whole article is devoted to a single conspiracy relating 5g to Bill Gates and the vaccines. Is there an estimate of how many people actually buy into it?

Believing that these new vaccines are not right for all demographics is not a conspiracy theory IMO.

IMO there's not much difference. Like you aren't going to figure out how to do dynamic programming from first principles, or re-invent the Floyd-Warshall algorithm during a 45 minute interview. Or even come up with the idea of trees on your own. Almost all LC questions are predicated on having heard of and learned about various algorithms and data structures, which really isn't any different from questions predicated on having heard of and learned about various database concepts. We're just used to it because LeetCode is the standard, so everyone grinds it.

That has nothing to do with memory safety though let alone Rust specifically. What we need is a smarter way to manage authentication (non-persistent session cookies and usage a password manager to handle the log in is a step in the right direction).
As a lifetime resident of the UK, a country that is more left-wing than the US, but still distinctly conservative I can tell you that it is in fact possible to introduce mandatory minimum holidays, maternity leave, and a social security system without condemning people to labour camps in order to maintain order.
> Now whether or not this is allowed is very much dependent on which country you live in.

So basically, to clarify, you're either 100% on the grid, or 100% off. There's no using both depending on conditions, is that it?
The system should either break even (which it doesn't do), or cost money (which means taxpayers subsidise it), or make money (which means users subsidise other taxpayers)

The question is to what extent should grid connections to new rural homes be subsidised by taxpayers, which is of course a political decision - just like to what extent roads, military, healthcare, education, oil production, etc should be subsidised.

A better solution may be to allow the subsidiy money to be used to provide grants for off-grid. It may be better for the taxpyer to give someone $30k to sort their power out, than to spend $40k on an electric line to their house.
Accountability does not work when society as a whole loses its moral compass. The people who were supposed to keep Google/FB accountable were negligent or complicit for a decade.

You may say slave labor is wrong but will you pay $500 more for an iPhone? Most people won't. They will point the finger at Apple while shopping for the cheapest deal on Amazon produced by yet more slave labor in China. Anything to avoid taking on personal responsibility and score a few more $$ for the retirement account. Only widespread personal responsibility works, but it can only arise within a culture that respects and rewards those who take it on and judges people a little more broadly than "success" and $$$.

> The shareholders should ask Facebook management how they allowed their growth to be tied to the decisions of a completely unrelated third party company

Is this something Facebook-specific, or are you suggesting that _every_ company currently making money on iOS is stupid (And presumably Android too, since you’re almost-equally screwed if Google decide they don’t like you)? If that’s the case, what do you suggest doing instead?
Well, considering how well the M1 variants are performing in the performance/watt category and this is one major cost factor for data centers, I would assume Apple by all means is going to use their own chips in the future. And then there is no good reason not to sell a tons of them to anyone who is willing to pay Apple prices for server hardware. (Which aren't that bad, compared to other server hardware prices)

But this might a bit in the future as they barely can make enough of them for the MacBooks. I even would assume that the launch of the other computers in the lineup has been put to a later time to be able to keep up at least a bit with demand.
Ok. Thanks. That’s how we use it too.

>Pascal was a way better language and already dominant for home computing back in the 80s.

Not sure what you mean there ("dominant"?) but in the 1980s, BASIC was the dominant language on home computers because that's what they included. Commodore VIC-20 & 64, Atari 400/800, Texas Instruments TI-99 TI-BASIC, and IBM home computers like the PC jr had IBM-BASIC which was licensed from Microsoft's GW-BASIC.

Something like Turbo Pascal was only purchased by a minority of 1980s computer users. That's why 1980s home computer enthusiast magazines like Compute! published their code lists in BASIC: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22compute!%22+magazine+code...

>I never understood how C took over the desktop space as well.

I'm guessing it's because C Language was already popular on the commercial side because of UNIX implementations which spread into microcomputers. Microsoft dabbled in XENIX which was AT&T UNIX. In the 1980s when popular desktop programs such as DOS, Lotus-123, and WordPerfect migrated from pure assembly to <high_level_language> ... they all ended up choosing C instead of Pascal. Why did industry converge on C? Maybe because there were more C compilers for various platforms. (The portability and cross-platform angle.)
You are correct except for one tiny thing. TEMPEST is a code name [1], not an acronym. At some point, the acronym was fitted to the code word rather than the other way around, a case of a "bacronym" [1]. To my knowledge, no government document has ever used the acronym.

Welcome to the 11% mentioned on my comment.

JOVIAL and ESPOOL were the first system languages with a notion of unsafe code blocks, both about 10 years older than C.

It is a big difference to have unsafe code jump to our eye and being easily searchable, or having each line of code as a possible source of integer overflows, memory corruption, or UB optimization exploit of the day.

While personally decidedly not a fan of this, Apple's proposed attempt on CASM was quite different from what is generally alleged in that article.

In principle it matched a downloaded set of encrypted hashes of known offending images against any images before they were uploaded to the iCloud and this locally. A recorded offence would result in a local warning, and, if you proceeded, the offending image would have been exposed to further scrutiny and review (by this breaking the end-to-end encryption promise, but you would know and this would have implied your consent). It's not that far from Gatekeeper and other signature matching malware detectors. You may have already problems with the latter, but this is basically where we are.

> FYI Hertz already announced that they will require a minimum charge of 10% for returned cars. So they thought about it and deemed it worthy to comment on in the announcement.

That may just be to help avoid people planning poorly and running out of battery trying to just barely make it back to the return. There's almost certainly nothing magical about 10%, and charging the car from 5% will be almost no difference. It wouldn't surprise me if they don't charge a fee as long as they can still get it over to the cleaning bay or a parking spot with a charger.

They're likely just setting ground rules for people who have never used EVs. It's not quite as easy to solve if you run out of juice half a block away from where they want it to be returned. Or if it won't start but you got it parked in a spot out front without a charger. "It doesn't need to be full but please leave 10%" is a fair rule of thumb.

Perhaps, yeah. Likewise there will be people who've never heard of Big-O notation, and when asked to explain the efficiency of their algorithm and justify why it's optimal they won't be able to, even though they're masterful algorithm builders and did get the optimal solution. Or people who know to build a solution that isn't optimal in theory, but harnesses caches, parallelism, and other real-world features of a computer to be the most effective. And they'll still get docked points on interviews, where a bored engineer is just sitting there looking for someone to regurgitate the right answers. If we're going to take a stand against database questions, I feel like it'd be disingenuous to not do the same against algorithms questions.
