and that’s okay, for the most part, because it’s an instant messaging app, not a customer support forum, not a wiki, not a documentation repository, not a zulip, etc.

Sure, but tell that to all of the gaming forums that got sunset in favour of discord because discord "is the place gamers go", or because they don't want to invest in content moderation.

Think of the years of lost accessible content, gone forever, now locked behind a walled garden that only ever treats content as ephemeral discussion that goes stale as soon as it is uttered.

I declare a conflict of interest in this post: I make forum software :)
Roads act more like veins transporting resources to parts of civilization. Decrease efficiency, increase emissions. But the critical thing is infrastructure being in disrepair can and has killed people.

> in my experience, functional programming can lead to especially opaque codebases.

That's interesting because my first favourite language was Python, but I gave it up for Haskell because of the former's propensity to lead to especially opaque codebases.
Acer C201.

But it might be not avaiable anymore but I think the successor is similar.

I put it in dev mode and worked mainly with chrome dev tools as IDE and a simple texteditor for node scripts.
That worked well and I did not needed more.

There is in theory a linux vm, but last time I tried, it was buggy and performance intense, so no option for my days work, but good to have the opportunity to have more powerful tools at hand at times, like inkscape, because chromeOS as itself is not so nice to use and very limited in every way, but what works, works.
As with other similar devices and prototypes, of which there are many, the problem is accuracy. A rough guess is not enough. Since there's no numerical mention of it in the article, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably another device that's nice as a demo but won't be practical in any real sense of the word.
It’s not really about infrastructure like roads and stuff. It’s about “infrastructure.”
Well your reply pretty much back my point.
I'm not sure what you mean by the "classic" meaning of "server". Typically that list of servers in online games was actually a list of different physical locations you could connect to. Each one was a different server, a different physical computer. Some were hosted by the company that made the game, and some were hosted by the community.

My belief is that forum stakeholders do not want to invest in content moderation.

Spam posts need to be deleted, content needs to be checked, people need to treat each other well.

Contrast to discord, where if you find a spammer, just ban his ass. The spam message (or bad content) will already have scrolled out of view of most users ...

So it's just cost cutting from up above.

Publishers sell ads, they don’t buy them.

That said, Google and Facebook captured most of the value from targeted advertising and left only crumbs to publishers, so they don’t really have an incentive to maintain the status quo. The use of invasive tracking technology is forced onto them by advertisers.

The US is huge, and people are already migrating to the cities (a bad move in the light of COVID). The remaining cities still need to be connected by roads, even if you’re closing down small communities.

You can also improve public transport, build bikelanes and sidewalk, while updating roads to help the parts of the community that will inevitable live outside the inner city limits.
> Yet here we have a case where a very real black life was severely harmed, with Wikipedia playing a secondary, but still highly significant part in the sorry tale. The Wikimedia blog post contains no acknowledgement of this fact. Instead it is jubilant – jubilant that the Wikimedia Foundation was absolved of all responsibility for the fact that Mr. White was for over two years misrepresented as a serial killer on its flagship site, the result of a pseudonymous Wikimedian trusting a source that proved unreliable.

Personally, this is the excerpt that really hit home. The same kind of criticism has been levied on popular-activism in the past. I would have liked to see a more benevolent response from an organization which purports to be so.

It's not a question of difficulty. It's not a question of skill. The issue is belief. Once you stop believing that assembly is just some weird hack is the moment it gets easy. In my experience when it comes to simple functions, plain code normally processes data at 400mbps and if you use the weird hacks it goes 40gbps which is two orders of a magnitude. With algorithms it gets even better when you can make things exponentially faster. Even something as constrained as old i8086 is too easy when we believe that nothing is beyond our ingenuity. People have built things like fighter jets using those chips and sent humans to the moon with less.

Cats eat rats. They protect our homes from vermin. They are a valuable animal to have around. Raising them from young means they are attached to you and will guard your home in particular.

> Should we not trying to decommission roads and encourage people to move to denser, walkable and cyclable city centers?

Roads are still needed inside cities and between them. The Ancient Romans (famously) had roads.

Roads used to be for people:

> Before the advent of the automobile, users of city streets were diverse and included children at play and pedestrians at large. By 1930, most streets were primarily a motor thoroughfares where children did not belong and where pedestrians were condemned as "jaywalkers."

> In Fighting Traffic, Peter Norton argues that to accommodate automobiles, the American city required not only a physical change but also a social one: before the city could be reconstructed for the sake of motorists, its streets had to be socially reconstructed as places where motorists belonged. It was not an evolution, he writes, but a bloody and sometimes violent revolution. Norton describes how street users struggled to define and redefine what streets were for. He examines developments in the crucial transitional years from the 1910s to the 1930s, uncovering a broad anti-automobile campaign that reviled motorists as "road hogs" or "speed demons" and cars as "juggernauts" or "death cars." He considers the perspectives of all users--pedestrians, police (who had to become "traffic cops"), street railways, downtown businesses, traffic engineers (who often saw cars as the problem, not the solution), and automobile promoters. He finds that pedestrians and parents campaigned in moral terms, fighting for "justice." Cities and downtown businesses tried to regulate traffic in the name of "efficiency." Automotive interest groups, meanwhile, legitimized their claim to the streets by invoking "freedom"--a rhetorical stance of particular power in the United States. Fighting Traffic offers a new look at both the origins of the automotive city in America and how social groups shape technological change.

It's their current focus—basically only personal automobiles—that is the problem, and not the technology itself.
Thanks for the clarification.

The impression that I had from the headline, and what seems like a large percentage of others had, is that they are doing away with modern infotainment and going back to 90s style analog controls, which they are not. I think this is unfortunate.

It would be nice to have a new, modern retro performance sedan with totally analog controls. I think car controls were the best in the mid-late 90s, when there were levers and switches and dials for everything, and very few computers.

And I say this as a long-time Tesla (X) owner. The Tesla climate control never fails to piss me off. Its amazingly hard to get it to just blow outside air at me. In an older car, nothing would change the fan speed or enable/disable recirc if I had the audacity to park my car overnight.
Good explanation, but it kind of buried the lede. The answer is way down at the bottom:

> Fission releases the energy of the electromagnetic force when positively charged parts of the nucleus fly away from one another. Fusion releases the energy of the strong force (much stronger at short distances than the EM force) when the small pieces are captured and held into one nucleus.
The exact time of transaction.
Absolutely right. What doesn't help here is when the Wikimedia PR machine minimizes and whitewashes problems, as it did in the Wikimedia blog post about this incident, making everyone think that Wikipedia is of uniformly stellar quality, better than Britannica and all the rest of it ... When the reality is that Wikipedia quality can and does vary tremendously from one article to the next, even from one paragraph to the next, and reader caution is always indicated. (For six or seven years, this specific article contained two different birth dates—one in the infobox, one in the lead paragraph. Nobody noticed or cared. Then someone picked up on the discrepancy and made both dates the same—wrong.)
I’m a pilot and have strong fear of heights. (It’s hard for me to change the outside floodlight bulb that is maybe 10 feet off the ground.)

Fear of heights literally never presented in training or subsequent flying. The pathway is different, at least for me, but I’ve known many other pilots who are afraid of heights as well so it seems semi-common.
While in the TV broadcast the picture was shown only briefly, it sounds like they also published an article online, which was the Wikipedia editor's source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2...
Except it's not. The energy in fission comes from gravitational collapse, not from fusion (collapse is what allows free neutrons to be liberated to drive the r-process that makes uranium.)
Planes are socially and therefore politically non-viable because

(1) When flight accidents happen, they suddenly overturn the lives of a LOT of commoners all at once as opposed to slow and creeping and often "statistically determined" impact of cars

(2) technocrats have consistently failed to demonstrate the ability to create organisations that over the long term prioritize safety and the ability to prevent accidents over all else
This is great! FYI, one of the options that just popped up for me is "Unnamed". Might want to remove that one :). Or not.

I miss forums. Even used to run one myself. And I think they will come back, because they are better able to support slower, more thoughtful discussions.

But I also think there's a reason the pendulum swung away from them. For a social space, that aspect of permanence is a double-edged sword. It also means that your embarrassing moments are preserved for all posterity, and probably even Googleable. That creates some baseline anxiety in some people who are aware of that phenomenon, and I suspect that that is a part of the reason why flamewars were more common back in the day.

But, perhaps more insidiously, that permanence can become an engine of gatekeeping. It was so frustrating to watch the old guard on the forum I read unwittingly chase away newcomers with their endless links to old discussions. They thought they were being helpful. What they were trying to say is, "Here's some content that might interest you." But what was being heard was, "We don't need to talk about this thing you want to talk about because we've talked about it 4 times already."

And so a new generation of people naturally gravitated toward places where those sorts of things don't - can't - happen.
Thanks for linking to that report, it's interesting reading, particularly the part with "We present data on COVID-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths by vaccination status. These
raw data should not be used to estimate vaccine effectiveness" (that sentence occurs twice so tat you don't miss it)

This is of course exactly what you did above.

It also says "We have published a blog to accompany this section of the vaccine surveillance report"

I have a 2015 Audi A3. I didn't want the brand at all, but loved (and still love) the dial control.

I still wish something like this UI would have caught on.

Just been chatting with a local dealer guy, and he said that just after the covid outbreak the car manufacturers made 2-3 year commitments into smaller orders for the electronic parts, so the chip producers shifted sales to other markets. So by his point of view there is no real shortage, just wrong decisions were made. Wonder how true is this.
There is a booming market for people that use them in camper vans/overland style vehicle applications alongside solar panels.

It’s very good. I’ve only had them since the first week of August so I can’t speak to their longevity. But they’re comfortable (I do up to 90 minutes), stay on in turns, don’t leak or fog. They project the HUD display onto this little screen on one of the Goggles (you can make it either left or right). Because of that they say to not do the typical thing that every swimmer does and spit in the goggles and rub it in. They say to never touch the goggle interior and just trust the anti fog coating.
Telling someone he might have a grave disease might convince him to go to a doctor and seek treatment.

Firefox is not dying because HN users criticize it. HN users might even use Firefox in a greater proportion than the general public.

We try to protest, we try to raise awareness of the current situation.

If instead of doing that we would actually said that Firefox is dead, it would be more detrimental. Users will try it and make a lot of bad publicity. Mozilla Foundation management will use it to demonstrate they are doing a great job while continuing putting Firefox in danger.

We can't take ownership of Firefox but we can pressure towards it getting better stewardship.
I'm not very knowledgeable about this, but don't think they fail this gracefully.

I thought that a lot of the battery failures in EVs was due to the failures of individual cells (like AA batteries) within modules, which make it impossible for the BMS to balance power between modules. There was a recent youtube video where an old Model S had its range dramatically reduced to less than 25% because a module had 2 bad cells. The cells were replaced, and the car works as normal now. There was a debate about how long-term that fix would be (eg, would the same thing happen soon, as other cells die).
"Feels like a good place to visit, not live. "

I am pretty sure if you came "to visit" aka a tourist, you likely would not have lived too long there to settle down.

Unless you brought some modern day magic, like a gun or a smartphone, to convince them you are send from the gods and not to be sacrificed just yet.

They literally murdered babies regulary. Why would one want to visit those, except for hardcore anthropologic studies?

And subsistence farming probably did differ, depending how far away the next empire was. Some lived in total slavery and dependency and some quite undisturbed pretty much on their own (there are some villages in remote greece areas for example, claiming to never have been conquered.).
A lab in the UK performing PCR tests messed up big time, and returned 40 000 false positives.

40 000 people forced to work by their employers, who then spread it to colleagues and customers, because they had a respiratory disease but ‘it isn’t COVID’.

COVID is particularly bad, but employees should also be allowed to stay home and rest, to not spread the cold and flu.
>The question is how much material can be reclaimed from the battery.

My question was rather different, much more simple/practical.

Today (not tomorrow, not ten years from now) I own a "normal" ICE car and for some reasons it breaks beyond any possible repair.

Currently (and it may depend on countries) I can sell the wreck to someone authorized to dismantle it and get a few hundred bucks for it or - in the worst case - pay someone to dismantle/recycle it a few hundred bucks (and I can - within limits - choose among many companies that provide this services according to the current Law).

What would happen (still today) if the car was an electric one?
For those interested in these sort of things I highly recommend the incredibly well done Fall of Civilisations podcast: https://fallofcivilizationspodcast.com/, there is an episode on the Maya civilisations.
That’s probably a reductive take. This bill is massive, over 2000 pages. It has funding for all kinds of transportation, green, energy and digital infrastructure. Roads are a part of that because once they are built, they need to be maintained or else people will die. There are several examples of bridges and overpasses collapsing and leading to deaths and badly maintained road surface leads to fatal accidents as well. Also, talking about this bill in terms of what it does for roads and bridges is going to be the best way to talk to the public as that is the thing they experience every day. Talking about the esoterics of the energy grid isn’t going to land for most people.
