In "most" of Japan, that might be the case, but the article is about Ski towns. There is plenty of young people who have tried to move to ski towns from large cities and have already been priced out.

I'm not talking about some random country side spots, I'm talking about mountain towns, inline with the article.

"There are a couple of foreign-investor hotspot blips like newly trendy ski town Niseko"

Do you have any idea how much money has gone into Niseko? It's not new and trendy, that's been going on for quite some time now and continues to do so. The people who have made their money screwing that place over are now looking for their next victims.
I honestly dont understand why none of the main consumer operating systems are optimized for low latency. outside servers, I feel like I would gladly take an OS that made my computer 2x slower, but never had a pause of more than half a ms or so.
It was -2C here at today noon and winter's barely begun, it's actually warmer than usual it should be about -10C.

Plus I just spent $420 for half a tank of heating fuel. Fuel oil prices currently $1.18/liter are jumping and next time it will probably be $500 for the same amount of oil.

No I'm not opening the windows. Plus the pipes would burst if it got cold enough inside the house. If I want fresh air I'll get that when shovelling snow.

School and business wold be in the same situation most use fuel oil or local steam line. But wasting energy by opening windows is not a solution during a northern winter.
I'll take a crack at it. How about a two-person consularship with a red consul and a blue consul? Together they wield full executive control, but nothing happens unless both agree on a particular action. Would you ratify?
Some aircraft don't buffet much when they get slow, while other aircraft may buffet a lot (slow as a simple term for high angle of attack (AOA), but high AOA can occur from G-forces - back stick pressure - as well).

Those aircraft also use a digital flight control system that commands G instead of direct deflection of the surfaces. Therefore the aircraft feels the same at the speeds in which it is capable of delivering the G it is asked to deliver. The same back stick pressure delivers the same G. This is much different than a mechanical system in which you get more G if you are faster.

The F-16 is one such aircraft. It feels very similar at 250 knots and 650 knots.

Of course an experienced pilot immediately recognizes when the aircraft hits the G-limit due to speed. For example, at 200 knots it can't pull 5 Gs. But that only occurs when you are pulling on the stick and not in straight and level flight.

The angle of attack of being slow (just being more leaned back in the jet) is more subtle and and doesn't usually present itself until you are already really slow. The automatic flaperons and leading edge flaps, which give the wing more camber automatically, are partially a reason for this.

Point is, the slowness maybe not be as obvious as you think.

Dry air is a problem with any heating, but for those who are interested in a solution that currently exists (it’s a bit wasteful), is curious why they get too hot, or wants an easy solution without a new HVAC installation it’s very simple.

Our radiator had a pan for water over the heater to keep humidity comfortable we’d refill.
Look, I wasn’t expressing any value judgment, and I’m not advocating for implicit conversions.

My point was that the implicit conversions in PL/1 have a different context in PL/1 than they have in Perl and Javascript, more akin to the one in C. One effect of that is that the type of a variable remains fixed in PL/1 where it doesn’t in Perl and Javascript. This places it at a different point in design space and changes the dynamics to some extent, which is just a nuance that I find interesting. It wasn’t expressed in the original comment I was replying to, so I thought it would be worth pointing it out so that he distinction isn’t being missed.
> The “right” believes most of the regulations should be reserved to the states. I suspect instead you’d see an increased strengthening of states rights and a greater restriction on federal authority — which “helps” anti-abortion advocates but at also “helps” with California’s policies around Marxist policies.

They believe in state's rights in theory, but I'm not sure they do in practice. The right in the US has repeatedly sought national mechanisms to address issues that they would theoretically consider states rights (abortion, gay marriage, etc).

I'd also love to hear your definition of "Marxist" and how you believe California's state policies are Marxist.
>"Sure it matters if you are a hardware guy, or need to work with serialized floats, or some NaN-boxing trickery"

Might you or someone else elaborate on what "NaN-boxing trickery" is and why such "trickery" is needed?
That would not work in actuality since a large portion of American politics is based on an extreme and literal interpretation of the Bible that is inconsistent with logic.
> If we have a self-sustaining Mars colony as a given

I don't think I stipulated to that. Sorry if I did, I didn't have that in mind.

> Hitler got started in his conquests by securing land and resources lost or unavailable to Germany. What would motivate a Hitler in a self-sustaining Mars colony?

That particular Hitler did, but others through history came to power through different means and circumstances. All that's required is the right mixture of psychopathy and narcissism, mixed with power and you've got yourself a budding Hitler. I think psychopathic narcissists are very good at finding power, so it's not really a question of "if" but "when" a psychopathic narcissist becomes in charge of Mars colony, and whether or not the guardrails of the society would hold (as they have in some Earthly societies when Hitlers have come to power) or if they would crumble and yield to an authoritarian dictator (as happened in Germany and other places where Hitlers took over).

Yes, going out into the stars sounds great and all, but one of the implications of that is that we spread human pathologies, which includes fascism and Nazism. That's basically the Empire in Star Wars. I just think that we have to be realistic and recognize that could happen sooner rather than later. What if Mars colony goes full fascist and decides they want to ethnically cleanse Earth for no other reason than they believe them to be inferior and impure? It's not like it hasn't happened before.
Might be slavic influence, is the same in Romanian.
Alfred was really cool. I replaced what I liked about Spotlight in Xubuntu by using combination of Guake, XFCE Whisker Menu Search Actions, and DE keyboard shortcuts bound to various scripts. Then I added some more stuff that I never knew I wanted from Spotlight.

I couldn't go back now, TBH, without using some kind of Mac OS native scripting components.
The question is — is it significant enough for:

a) eradication to be a possibility (intuitively, it would seem not); or, failing that

b) to lower the possibility of novel mutations emerging to a negligible level (I don’t have the knowledge to answer, so this is a genuine question, but again intuition would suggest not)

if, say, 99% of the population is vaccinated.
If the “right” actually wanted this they wouldn’t fight against it when it didn’t benefit them, like cutting the defense budget. They routinely vote against slashing funding of arguably the largest government entity we have (department of defense). They also have no trouble with broadly trying to pass laws that regulate their version of social norms

Wildcatting and privateering are better analogies. The entire ecosystem is motivated more by wealth transfer than societal good.
This is how our household nearly always gets milk, and has since I was a child.

I'm lactose intolerant, so my milk comes in blue bags. Goat milk bags are also coloured. I thought the colour coding is pretty clever and avoids a lot of mistakes.
I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated, but the virus is so contagious that there will be no significant protection for those whom the vaccines are ineffective.

Conservatives are a only a segment of the right. I’d argue republicans are a mix of libertarians, conservatives and moderates.

I think the only thing linking them together are the “leave me alone” argument. That’s why I’m not concerned about women’s choice on abortion in a convention of states.

I can only think of a few federal things they all want: secure border, gun rights, freedom of speech, states rights, etc.

Idk if you can even all get them to “end the fed” lol
Straus Creamery sells their milk in glass jugs—available at grocery stores in San Francisco, including Safeway, the big chain. Stores charge you a deposit for the jug and refund it when you bring it back. Works very well. It would be nice if they designed new jugs that didn't always spill on your first few pours, though.

Haven't seen an analysis on the carbon cost of carrying the extra weight, but I would guess it's lower than manufacturing?

I would love to see SF (or anywhere) implement a system for reusable food takeout containers that made it easy for both restaurants and their customers. All you'd need is a citywide standard set of containers. Restaurants get daily container deliveries (only the kind they want) and customers get weekly (or monthly) container pickup. It would probably make sense for Recology (the recycling company) to handle the pickups.
Tiobe is BS. We should just ignore.

Crested Butte is not just a ski town. Most ski towns in CO are not just ski towns. But CB is especially popular with mountain bikers and is busy almost year round.
Which campus was that at? I feel like I saw something like that used once, but other than that didn’t see it much when I spent my time with E-UNI. I mostly kept to WHC, though.
According to that formula, in a 51% attack, probability of success = 1 (since 51% attack means you are more likely to find a hash than all others combined), right?

It's just a bizarre example of a compromise if you're looking for a positive example.

At _very best_ it was a necessary evil, with a large emphasis on the "evil".

There's a direct line from there to more slavery, the Civil War, a couple of centuries of mistreatment of a large portion of the American citizenry, internal strife, and the current clusterfuck of race relations and politics in America.

Put against that there's the other option of "maybe there might have been one extra country".
There are 13 bits that are unused in the NaN representation, so you can put data in there without impeding your ability to represent every floating point value.

For example, if you are designing a scripting language interpreter, you can make every value a floating point number and use some of the NaNs to represent pointers, booleans, etc.

I'm an American living in Japan and the this happens quite a lot - even among friends who I'm pretty sure mean no harm.

It seems like a lot of people have this very strong "foreigner = English" mapping in their head. As soon as you're outed as "foreigner" for any reason, you get the English (even if you're proficient in the local language).

I definitely think it's disrespectful to switch languages on someone like that, but a lot of people just don't seem to think about it. Multi-lingual conversation manners are not commonly talked about!
The runaway convention is a real problem, but what would be odds of each outcome? I can't imagine the Constitution would be replaced in its entirety, that would be difficult to implement. I also can't imagine contentious issues going strongly either way, that would probably also be difficult to pull off politically.
LinkedIn is incredibly effective if you don't have connections. Job sites have been ineffective for a while for both sides. With job sites, you get people with a culinary diploma applying for a Senior React Developer job. The new meta is employers searching for candidates and spamming them.
Actually it’s the inability to say a simple “no” in most cases.
A constitutional convention right now would only serve the interests of hostile foreign powers. At best the US would be twiddling its thumbs while the world moves onward from it. The US would become something like a geographic average between a third world country and a first world country. At worst, the US looks weak enough for a hostile power to actually, successfully invade and occupy.
This is why I find video games (or video board games) much less stressful then physical board games. You don't need worry about remembering all the rules, the program guides you and you can just focus on the fun with no shame you've made an illegal move when you're playing with others.
I was curious so I looked it up and found:

Absolutely.

To be really certain you'd have to test your soil.

I don't think you could test seeds without destroying them. But if your soil was clean then you could grow a plant from potentially contaminated seeds and that plants seeds would be far less contaminated.
It's not just a matter of heavy metals in the soil getting accidentally sucked up by the plants. From this PDF linked from the article: http://article.images.consumerreports.org/prod/content/dam/s...

> In addition, we investigated possible adulteration, specifically the addition of bulking and/or coloring agents, in four of the 15 spices that are commonly adulterated in these ways.

So at least in some of the cases, deliberate adulteration with heavy metal containing dyes/etc is a real possibility. This should be (probably is?) a criminal matter but it seems the FDA isn't particularly concerned about it. This disturbs me.
I suppose a malicious program with elevated admin privileges can Disable UWF (it can't be disabled without admin) - but it wouldn't apply immediately - only at the next boot. And at this point (next boot), the drive would still go back to the "clean" state again so the malicious program would presumably be gone and couldn't do more harm.

Albeit in this scenario, UWF is now disabled, so future writes go directly to the disk until UWF is enabled again.
I'd imagine these towns survived just fine without AirBnBs for the last hundreds of years?
> (ie the original 2nd amendment was owning any kind of weapon for any purpose, including equivalent of battle ships today)

Citation? As it originally reads, the purpose as written is for the people to keep and bear arms for use within a well-regulated militia. The supreme court has ruled (almost 100 years later) that it does mean people can own guns, generally for the purpose of state defense [1]. This is the first I've heard of a regular citizen having the right to parade around in their own battleships.

> So let me ask you: with such well-ventilated facilities, what is the marginal benefit of masking?

It's difficult to estimate. Of course, even with all this care, not everywhere is equally well ventilated. My room is wide open to the outside, but there are other rooms depending on central air and the room filter which may not be as well off. Trying to form policy on a room by room basis would be nutty.

> And is this benefit worth the difficult-to-quantify but very real cost of students being unable to see the faces of their classmates?

We do go outside quite a bit, and most students choose to not mask outside and thus see their classmates then. There's also the very real benefit of making many students-- and me, their teacher-- feel safer.

IMO the biggest cost is it's slightly harder to understand each other and we have a few more misunderstandings per day.

For forcing your body to remain on your side, there is a simple "belt" that you can wear which has attached air pockets that keep you on your side. I can't use these because my back explodes in pain, but I think they are successful for many others without such sensitive backs as mine.

Not lift tickets. Ski passes like IKON and Epic caused an explosion of short term rental behavior.
the tourist dollars do not in any way depend on AirBnB's because most of these resorts were built before AirBnB and were planned, approved, and built with a plan based on hotel capacity. the number of hotel beds and the lift capacity the resorts are tied to each other. similarly, the number of bars and other tourist amenities also gets decided bases on hotel capacity, and while that may have changed since AirBnB started ruining everything, for the most part it's the same as the resorts - they built enough restaurants and bars to service the number of guests the resort was built for.

the AirBnB's are causing the resorts to run at over their designed capacity, making long lift lines for everybody, making the bars too crowded, and making the town's tourist experience worse in addition to making it worse for residents.
A similar concept, but no. These ones are long, almost like a sofa, and I believe you can actually sit on the long clay part because it's not the part releasing much heat. bananabiscuit's link was a bit closer, but I believe the heaters we're thinking of are a more recent development.
Yes, you're right. However, Ryanair has a rating of 1.3 on Trustpilot while Disneyland has a 4.7 and Disney World has a 4.7 as well on Google reviews.

Customers may buy cheap garbage, but they aren't happy about it. It doesn't breed long term loyalty.

I can't imagine what Ryanair's NPS scores are.

If waiting in lines tripled, I don't think they'd have a 4.7.
What does the Afrin test indicate?

I have persistent rhinitis since I was a kid. Only two things I've tried so far help:

Afrin, which of course you can't use often due to rebound congestion but it's nice to get the occasional break.

Secondly, holding my nose shut then blowing hard against it, as if to pop your ears. For some reason this clears my airways for about 20-30 seconds which is enough to at least blow my nose.

Steroids, surgery (tonsils + adenoids) and sinus irrigation have not fixed it, but antihistamines do help a little.

Besides my nasal passages, inflammation is also noted in my eyes and gums by opticians and dentists respectively.

It's an interesting tradeoff.

I like having windows that will open in my classroom. But in the larger buildings with central, indoor hallways, the benefit of windows is smaller (much less outer surface area vs. volume of space) and the potential costs are higher.

Aside from pandemic-proofing, the main benefit I get is from having more ventilation when I do things that don't need to be under a hood, but still produce fumes/smoke. E.g. soldering.

The colour schemes and limited amount of colours reminds me of the old VUE and CDE backgrounds :)

And that reminds me of xfishtank. I still use that sometimes for old school cool and also because it is pretty optimized (when it was written many X terminals shared a 10mbit coax) and great way to see if a remote X desktop session is still responsive.
I'd be more impressed if Austalia went after the outrage barons. Murdock, Zuck, Dorsey, etc.

For those interested, the current hub of this activity (AFAICT) is => https://conventionofstates.com/

The ship of state is not on a good course.

While the idea of Article V is indeed fraught, anyone who thinks a lesser remedy obtains places excessive face in leaky vessels, IMO.

For this audience, consider the problem as a badly needed refactor. Whereas there were originally local, state, and federal government levels in addition to the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, the last century has seen collapse.

We're close to a unitary executive atop a Deep State, with a hollow congress/judiciary rubber-stamping the fiats.

A proper Article V plan would redistribute power, not wealth, and be fully sorted and in the can ahead of any convention. Such a meeting should be called to rubber-stamp said plan and preclude these runaway convention fears.

The more technically-minded audience of this site should be instrumental in delivering a plan that can't be commandeered (as easily) by the usual pencil necks.

For example: putting all of the legislation in a public git repo that anyone can read, hit with AI, and track what these congresscritters are getting up to, especially who is making the commits (!), which would obviously be people who stand for election.
Probably it's resolving the direct video (and/or audio) links and setting those as the source in the video tag. Like using the -g option for yt-dlp.
At this point I would be surprised if there was any performance or energy cost at all. Every CPU has an endian bit-flipper now.
Which part of “I’m not advocating either position” and “thought experiment” led you to need to ask this?

Did I put forth any praise of the actual 3/5’s compromise?

The use of the 3/5s example (rather than some other less ludicrous compromise) if anything calls out the inanity of the thought experiment.
Plus if the engines do not respond at the same rate, you have asymmetric thrust leading to a yaw if not corrected - and I assume the rudders are not particularly effective at low speed, especially if the engine nacelles, at high angle of attack, are partially blanking them with turbulence.
