aka regulatory capture

(not saying that dome houses are any good tho)
It’s an old business model (Regis was doing this for years). If done well it can work, but is not without risk. This business model gets destroyed during downturns or the extremes of a pandemic since they’re left holding long leases that nobody wants when the customers simply walk away. Knotel imploded quickly once the pandemic hit.

WeWork locations were arguably much nicer than your typical “coworking” offering at the time, but doing well in this business requires tight cost controls and meticulous attention to the details of managing the business. WeWork’s corporate culture was effectively the opposite of those things.

If the company, in its current form, can get its costs under control and streamline operations then it could survive and be profitable long term… but at the end of the day this is a boring real estate arbitrage business and ultimately a market commodity.
That study doesn’t address your argument. The land use of a city isn’t simply the physical land taken up by that city. Per capita energy expenditures significantly drop as city density increases, even if we moved to solar power that would still represent land use.

The actual study is filled with it’s own problems such as ignoring land covered by water etc, but that’s largely irrelevant here. However the real issue is it’s looking at land use around cities which are rarely independent. The area around London for example isn’t a single city it’s a cluster of different cities of various densities that all bleed into each other. Is to use a US example is Patterson part of NYC? How about Stamford and or Newark? If not where exactly do you place the borders between each of them?

Looking at population in the heart of NYC vs the surrounding areas over time and they are fairly independent.
Not sure if it is still the case, but it used to be that First did a fairly naive foreach over the IEnumerable while Where has several collection specific type checks that allow it to use MoveNext and maybe other more efficient ways to traverse the collection.
Containers would probably work fine for building but I am pretty sure running them is going to be a massive pain. Typically you need GPU pass-through and you will want to run your software on multiple nodes for example using MPI, which I don't think will be straightforward, especially if you have to explain all this to a scientist who just wants to run their software.

But perhaps someone can refute this?
I don't think lethal force should be used in the case of theft like this, but I support it for any kind of home invasion/breaking and entering.
Best way to sleep in comfort in a dome is to take advantage of the crazy strength and hang hammocks!
I find Peter Thiel's thinking absolutely fascinating despite controversial opinions in the circles here. I highly recommend listening to his interviews even if you disagree with him and possibly have made up the mind.
Do you think there's room for a new photo based social media?
With instagram moving away from being a photo sharing app and more towards video it seems like there should be room for a new player in the space. but at the same time platforms that were supposed to be instagram alternatives like vero and EyeEn aren't exactly growing.
We can colonize the centre of Australia. There just isn't a reason to do so. You can see wherever they find a patch of minerals, a mining town springs up. Decades ago, there were towns all along the train lines to support the rail services, but as trains got more reliable they were no longer required. There are few advantages to being in the centre of Australia. Many of the people who live there do so because they have a connection with that land.

The average person would rather live in a crammed Sydney apartment complex then live in the middle of the Simpson desert.

Mars is new. We really don't know what will happen. There are a group of people throughout history that have "chanced it" and gone to the new world out of the hope they can build something better. You will have the same rush on Mars.
The comment section on this article is very interesting. Seems a few people have a problem with the conclusion of the author.
The person above wasn't making a reasoned persuasive argument, they were making a moral assertion. The purpose wasn't to insult someone nor to convince them. It was just an expression of moral outrage.
Remember that a user may want to print the shopping cart content, receipts, or nearly anything on the page. This is especially common for the non-technical folks or the ones with poor connection.

The CSS grid still works worse with the printing page breaks than the tricks with the floats and margins.
It is actually used in load bearing applications as well, EPS parts can be made with up to 60 psi load carrying capacity (which borders on magic to me).
I'm on the fence about frames. From one side, it annoyingly broke navigation, opening in new tab, etc. But on the other hand it allowed to open just the content itself without navigation elements, allowing for eg. easy printing.

(and navigation could be fixed by browsers, maybe by encoding currently active frame targets into url after #)
> Or is the movie silencer a complete fiction?

The closest to movie silencer requires using sub-sonic ammunition in addition to the "silencer".

That will remove the crack from the bullet passing trough the sonic barrier and some of the gas explosion noises.

But even then it won't be "movie silencer" levels of silent, as the action of the firearms mechanic are usually also still quite loud if the weapon is not specifically designed to prevent that.
I wish that we could choose the date of the Google engine when we do a search...
One common scenario I could see this being a problem is a Windows domain where the admins chose to use the root domain.

www.example.com is a web server, but example.com is going to point to domain controllers.

You could set up IIS to redirect on the domain controller as a work around, or Chrome could stop hiding important info from users.

You could also train users, but we know how that goes.
I disagree a bit. The positionning of WeWork was so similar to a tech startup I rmb being like "oh right they do 0 technical innovation and 100% lease-fu" when it started being discussed at the IPO.

It feels I wasnt alone and many more intelligent people also realized this IPO was nonsense.

Even as a meat eater I’m pretty shocked that this recognises them as sentient and yet does not ban their slaughter (aside from boiling them alive etc). Maybe I’ve read too much science fiction, but eating sentient beings seems Bad.
If I understand correctly, the buildings are mostly stone and concrete. And sit on the waterfront, so the beams could have been from ships that can come and go.
The OP made a direct accusation of fraud with no real evidence to support that claim.

> Also, OP is complaining that they are cancelling the shipment in the first place instead of rerouting. That part isn't fraud but it's bad customer service.

Cancelling orders in a force majoure situation like this is normal, it’s not bad customer service. Working around this would be exceptional.
That's precisely what I pointed out.
morality is subjective; there's no universal morality. That's why laws exist - to make clear what is acceptable to do, and what is not.
It would be trivial for SpaceX to serve the images only where they are permitted. People in places where they are not could be shown other places they are allowed to see, instead. (Maybe with a caption inviting them to complain to their Dear Leader.)

You are correct and I was sloppy in explaining it properly.

In general however, I believe that there is no inherit advantage of certificates over passwords, except for the key-size obviously. Everything else is just convention/standards.

Please see the following page that explains better what I meant when I said that the password should be hashed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_chain

Using such a mechanism (including salts / challenges) will prevent an attacker using the hash as the password.
I found https://hanami.run (soon to be mailwip.com due to name conflict with hanamirb.org) to setup email forwarding and a simple blog platform by "email to post" and webhook.

Use it you can consolidate emails from multiple domains to forward to the same inbox. And you can add webhook/slack notification too.
"Typically" is a bit overly optimistic IMO. "Possibly" seems more accurate - low quality conversations (e.g. the weather, sports, etc.) are typically just psychological glue so folks don't feel awkward during silence.

And I think it's fair to say that extroverts value that glue more than introverts, generally speaking. For an introvert, the value of the glue may even be exceeded by the cost of discussing some random nonsense they don't really care about.
There is a modified response for these types of situations called “grey rock.”
> Thehe crux of the issue is that the root domain "myname.com" does NOT point to my website, and will simply time out without a response. There is nothing I can do to fix this. My domain host does not allow ALIAS records on the root domain, only A records. Conversely, my server host (Heroku) does not allow A records for routing, only ALIAS. As such, I'm stuck with the www solution.

I have to admit I don't have much sympathy for this. Do better at hosting your own authoritative dns properly so you can actually control the zone file for your domain. You can do it on a $1 per month virtual machine. It's that low in resource needs.
When you deal with people like this, the screaming crazy is victory.
In DDD this is discussed regularly [1]. Conway's law about how the communication patterns of an organization dictate the software architecture was probably the starting point of these considerations.

Again, very easy to say as you talk about the issue in the abstract, behind a keyboard across the internet. Wake up in the middle of the night to strangers at your home - you just caught a bunch of people in the middle of committing a felony and maybe they are not the type to leave witnesses behind.

I don't know if you are putting on the airs of being a brave knight, or you truly are detached, but there's such a thing as visceral fear that people are coming to take your stuff or hurt you. Be glad that you've lived a privileged life where you've never known such a fear

In a similar vein, his "Dick Smith Electronics" stores were known as "The Big Electronic Dick".
I mean, we know cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs are sentient yet we consume them. Why would we make an exception for octopods and shellfish?

I watched a YouTube video by Una Kravets, and was led to this page from there.

All the techniques revolve around the flexbox and grid selectors. In that sense, it is a good starting point (or at least, was) for a CSS developer wanting to have the latest tricks in his arsenal.
“Artificial pancreas” = “Full Self Driving”?

It offers guidance on insulin injection amounts. It doesn’t make insulin and doesn’t do any of the many other critical functions of the pancreas.
Is Amazon Worth It?
When is the price of a good at Amazon so competitive that it's worth spending the money at, arguably, a pretty rotten company. For example: "Music Theory for the Bass Player: A Comprehensive and Hands-on Guide to Playing with More Confidence and Freedom by Ariane Cap", is one of the best books for beginning bassists.

With shipping but before tax:
- On Amazon, it's $31.45
- Better World, a social benefit bookseller, it's $44
- Bookshop.org, which links readers to independent bookshops it's $38.45
- Barnes and Noble, $34.95
- Even gave Walmart a go: $31.45, the only company to match Amazon - although FakeSpot suggested a WalMart seller for $30.45.

Until FakeSpot's suggestion, I was going to go with Barnes and Noble, reasoning that at least it's a brick and mortar bookstore. Not exhaustive, but an interesting cross section. Given this list, at which price point "is Amazon worth it" for you? Why?

To put other ways: How much above Amazon are you willing to pay to shop at a local or independent seller?

How does one calculate that from an economic perspective, and is it growing, or shrinking?
> I change my opinions way too frequently for it. Reading stuff that I wrote as recently as a year ago is mildly painful and annoying.

This is why I treat most of my non-commissioned writing as living documents, especially in the software space as things change all of the time.
You could probably constrain it sufficiently for some set of problems. Maybe something like: Solve problem X using the standard library associative map by elaborating the following pseudo code.
What point are you actually making? I didn't say there would be no comparative studies but that I had been unable to find any using my amateur research skills. If you have any data and references then present them and we can discuss whether they're valid or not.
The balance is probably hard to find: to get into the insane risk of locking the best locations in the expectation later your market shares will allow you to price them right requires cowboy management, while making any money in real estate scalping at large scale require ultra boring micro accountancy.

So regus cant do it, they want to make money more safely, and WeWork cant do it, they wanted to change the world (sigh).
Octopi I understand, but lobsters? They have less than half the nervous system of an ant [1]. Are individual ants sentient and worthy of legislating over?

Nuanced and ‘curious’ thought gives way to what is fashionable and easy: black-and white-thinking. Extremism is sexy, empowering and rewarding for the self-righteous little person in our brains. Things are rarely clear-cut ‘good’ or ‘evil’.

When exactly are they going to classify factory farmed pigs as sentient?
so, if they are sentient, they can still be eaten legally... then what is the red-line for allowing or not (an animal) to be eaten? sapience?

This drove it home for me; thanks for your reply!
These are using dense concrete though, the ones from the article use a 100% foam core with thin layers of concrete on the outside and zero reinforcement or other structural components that I can detect.

I really like the Monolithic domes, they seem like the most practical way of constructing such a structure. No seams just what you need, no more and no less and a very mature process, far ahead of the company in the article in terms of applicability, all you need to ship from the factory is the inflatables, concrete you can make on-site.
Please show the objective rules that could be used to identify "idiomatic code in different languages".
I’m pretty sure “meat” species like pig, cows, chicken, and etc are sentient beings…
> assumes property rights exist.

which, in the OP's world view, does exist, and it overrides the burglar's right to life.

Your argument against the OP's moralism is that the burglar's right to life should not be overridden by the OP's property rights. This is why moralistic arguments are flawed - different people (perhaps different cultures) have differing morals. The law, as codified by society (and hopefully, agreed to democratically) is what should be used to judge actions, not moralism.
A significant portion of our waking life is spent doing things to obtain property. When thieves steal it they are stealing spent life and possibly livelihood.

I don't find it surprising that thieves face more gruesome punishments like hanging, cutting off hands, etc in places especially when there may be little recourse for the victims of theft and the theft represents a significant impact on their life.

I think reasonable argument against such things is that it is too easy for people to mistakenly hurt a non-thief on accident. That's more convincing to me than simply saying property < life at all times. If I was poor and needed my vehicle to get to work everyday and you're stealing it then yes I would be willing to shoot you to stop you.
Crabs and lobsters are basically bugs, whereas an octopus is a creative, playful, intelligent creature with amazing capabilities. It seems strange to group them together.
Not sure about the browsers of that era, but modern browsers will happily display ".gif" (without a file name) or even "1" (without the .gif extension).

I'm the opposite, I have a kindle Oasis and caught myself getting the ebook of paperbacks or hardbacks that I own. I just find it more comfortable to read.

That said, I really dislike the interface of the kindle, I like the kobo's interface slightly better (I love the pocket integration).

I could see myself use a colour e-reader for comics, for colour illustrations in books.
I actually used to build all my factories around a huge central belt, until I first designed a few microservices for a toy project. Then I found myself splitting components into separate pods, using trains and logic circuits to manage their independent resource needs. Nothing deliberate, just my mind following the path of least resistance. Factory after that, it was back to the main belt.
I was in Havana in January, 2017, around the time that this was happening. I walked around the US embassy one day. The weather was sunny but cold and windy; the embassy is on the Malecón, the seafront that stretches around Havana, and waves were crashing over the walls. It was unpleasant. I had never heard of the "Havana Syndrome" thing then, but in describing that day in my notes, I wrote that there was a feeling of pressure from the wind and sea spray. In hindsight, I wonder if this sort of weather condition contributed to perceptions of this syndrome. In videos I took that day you can sense this from the wind noise.
Yes the IPO proved not only Neumann insanity but moreover Masayoshi Son's inability to do due diligence in his adrenaline rush-saudi funded "we must spend this whatever the cost" decisions.

I think it s safe to assume whatever Son funds now is first probably not profitable and second trapped into vast amount of money to spend without a ROI plan, increasing the overall debt burden of the business.

In other words, you can make money probably by shorting Son's investments. Maybe even Alibaba, who never planned for regulatory compliance and making money even without trapping clients, will turn out to have been a silly idea in hindsight.
Do you have a streetview link to this building, I'd love to see it?
The Boox people are working on it; though it seems the colour e-ink tech itself isn't quite as up-to-snuff yet.

https://onyxboox.com/boox_nova3color

I adore my Boox Note 2 -- I've been remarkably surprised by its firmware support too, they've added features and increased performance massively over time.

They're expensive though. More so than an iPad, and it technically does less despite being Android underneath, just due to the limitations of the tech itself.
There's no threat created when someone simply moves into a shared space.

It seems like a straightforward generalization from "for free" (which itself might be a generalization from "for ten dollars"?). Does "for free" also sound wrong to you? If not, can you put your finger on what the difference is?

Can be weaponised. Therefore, not totally lawful-neutral.

c/f gaslighting as others have said. If you chose to be only passive in all conversations, you aren't sharing knowledge: you may be acquiring it, but across the specifics of a relationship this is in effect weaponised information asymmetry.

I agree. My point was that 'build it right' in the Roman definition was to use a lot of concrete, no reinforcement, and gravity to hold it all together. It is not really feasible given our expectations for modern buildings.
Then, how did they determine the wrong AirPods were in @marban's box? How does the situation they describe even arise? If nobody's looking in the boxes, this is a non-problem from the customer perspective.

“Legal to mow down protestors” is about as disingenuous of a take on that law as one could imagine.

It basically says if someone is protesting in the middle of the road and a driver taking reasonable precautions hits them they aren’t liable.

Seems entirely reasonable to me.
I’m not sure about how much progress was actually made. To me, it seems like they pocketed some extra performance that was previously “unused” due to lower max TDP specs.
And they're slower than Java... Albeit super close. The parent I responded to was referencing how C# is supposedly faster than Java... But idiomatic C# is about the same (slightly slower).

Yeah, this all looks pretty desperate to me. There is no way they can keep increasing the watt usage like this.

It makes their performance look good relative to M1 for now. But what happens when Apple push out their next chip design? Is Intel going to up the watt usage by a huge amount again?

Nah , this is a dead end. Alder Lake is a blind alley.
