> Madera to Bakersfield by 2035.

The current target, per the most recent business plan, is Merced to Bakersfield by the end of the decade, Silicon Valley to Central Valley (SF to Bakersfield) by 2031, and the Phase 1 system (SF to LA) by 2033. There is also work with Brightline West (the private developer of a Victorville to Las Vegas line) to jointly extend that line so that it interconnects with the Phase 1 system in Southern California, forming a combined SF-LA-LV system.

> Texas will likely get its high-speed rail well before we do.

Well, I mean, its a shorter and easier line with an earlier current planned operation date, with fewer bookend and station projects, so that wouldn’t be surprising, but they keep pushing out the construction start date while California keeps building, so I wouldn’t bet on it.
That is probably quoting it on a heat-basis. Only 3% of heat might be lost from storage, but from the 97% remaining you can only ever convert ~60%[0] of that thermal energy into useful electricity.

I combined https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mayors_of_the_50_large... (proxy for political party), and found that the top 13 cities with the highest crime rate in that combined data set were democratic. 7 out of 9 republican cities were in the half with the lower crime rate. Interestingly, all 3 cities with independent party mayors were in the lower crime half.

Of course this is totally unscientific, but I think it is interesting and at the very least there is some association. I also note that larger cities tend to be democratic.
When city police forces go on strike against the city for not giving them raises it often takes the form of solving "crime with a victim" while ignoring all the traffic stuff, intoxication stuff and fishing stuff that rakes in $$ through fines in order to stick it to the city. Other than a few Karens who write angry FB posts about people riding dirtbikes on the street as though they're real motorcycles it's generally a boon for the citizenry.

I think the most recent city to have this kind of strike was Baltimore in the 2015-18ish time range.
I have to say that anything to increase court transparency and access to the general public is great.

The Rittenhouse trial really highlighted how crooked some prosecutors are (filing bogus charges that the judge ended up throwing out, trying to introduce evidence rejected by the court and withholding key evidence from the defense and even going as far as to try to deny the defendant his constitutional rights). The only reason the public got to see all that was because of unfiltered, democratic access thanks to television.

Now, how many innocent black men had the prosecution pull the exact same tricks and were bullied into taking a plea deal? When only "approved media organizations" can afford access to the court, we might never know.

I'm an infrastructure engineer that has never considered using a comparable cloud provider unless the solution I was looking for wasn't supported by AWS. It used to feel like AWS cared about it's reputation and trustworthiness, and now they clearly do not.

They do mention concrete numbers.. doubled users to 10m in one year.

The valuation is still high for where the company is now. I personally think churn is going to be a huge issue for them and there is a huge uncertainty if they would be able to counter it, but I think it is unfair of you not to highlight that they do mention concrete numbers and show solid user tractions, which certainly counters your assertions that "nothing changed" in the last few years.

I expected more stats because of the word "meets" in the title. But there are none, only a collection of anecdotes. The blog name is "Common Sense" too, so it's like the author didn't think statistics on police effectiveness matters, it's just common sense that police stop crime.
I am trying to find the source, but I remember reading about how increased police presence actually decreases police brutality because they keep the others cops in check.

Maybe they're radical in that they don't care about you, and what you think books should be about.

But let's turn this around - have you actually read any of them, or are you just saying "meh, feminism, not my thing" and discarding them out of hand?

Based on the ones I've read, both "Dromedaries" and "His Masters Voice" are very much radical, especially if you read them in their historical context. You can certainly argue that ultimately, the topics and stories are a bit more familiar nowadays than they were then, but they're still quite thought-provoking. (If you read one of those two, I'd go with "Dromedaries". Lem is many things, but certainly not an easy read)

> Not to mention it'd be god awful to implement that kind of thing in non programmable level hardware.

Not to disagree with you, but to emphasise this - a lot of stuff in v6 is intentionally easy to implement in hardware. Stuff like the 64/64 address split, fixed-length headers. The only benefit to fixing head length / next header at 40 bytes is to enable zero-knowledge hardware accel.

Essentially similar to people describing one of the benefits to pipelining on the M1 being fixed instruction length - you can pipeline a packet/instruction without parsing it.

Which is irrelevant to whether citizens should have to pay for the texts. If you want private parties to write them, write their contract so the government is paying for full rights to the text, and then distribute them for free.
Yep. The company wasted billions of $$ buying old waste paper - by this method, they bought back shares and then cancelled them. The justification was to increase the share price = foolish. Money that could have designed and built a few state of the art small submicron fabs was wasted.
I took a stab at using Tailwind a while back but I'm embarrassed to admit it didn't make much sense to me as someone with only the most basic CSS skills.

Ah, thank you for clarifying, I understand now.

I still think this amounts to the argument "next year's budget cuts are increasing crime in my neighborhood now" which doesn't make sense to me.
> This is because the current status quo for encryption is to use TLS based on certificate authorities.

Not everything has to be TLS or even HTTP. Look at messaging apps. Signal is encrypted, but the end-to-end encryption it uses isn't TLS and doesn't use certificate authorities.

> If Lets Encrypt ever goes corrupt like dot Org did it would cause an incredible amount of trouble and that entity would have power over a large portion of the web, if not the entire internet.

Not really. Let's Encrypt doesn't have a monopoly over anything. They use an open protocol (ACME) that any other CA could implement. If they went evil, someone else would implement the same protocol and everybody would switch to them. Which also implies that they won't, because why bother if that's what will happen?

This is kind of a problem with the CA system the other way -- if you have one bad CA they can sign any domain even if they shouldn't -- but in this case it prevents what you're worried about.
Sad to see 'Not Just Bikes' lumped in with these great informative videos.

Not Just Bikes is extremely opinionated and is frequently swept up in emotional arguments and comparing apples to oranges. Shame really. But it definitely gives people the ammunition to pretend to fight for change (where in reality they are fighting for unrealistic expectations and to get their oranges into apples) and this leads to a feel-good feeling.

The rest of the list are extremely informative and interesting to many with next to no bias.
Yeah I think this is definitely part of the answer.

Though I think there is some guilt on the other side when they’ve treated police departments as if they’re all the same. When every use of force against even the most vile of criminals, in legitimate life or death situations, is somehow proof of their racist tendencies if the perp was a PoC.
> All of this debate is based on the bs idea that poverty breeds crime

If you're homeless, for example, your mere existence is illegal in many places. You can be arrested and charged for illegal camping and dumping, trespassing, loitering, etc. Panhandling can be heavily policed, too.

A wealthy person has no reason to steal food, unless they're the kind of person who gets off on stealing. Someone who hasn't had a meal in 3 days, on the other hand, will become a criminal in order to survive.

It's a meme at this point, but this quote still stands: "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread".

Literally 100% of the times I hear about them using SWAT in the news I think this.

If someone is truly valuable they tail them and conduct a fishing stop and arrest them. SWAT is all for show these days.
There’s still issues.

I’ve had really strange bugs in multiplayer (clipping into walls on spawn and can’t move, bizarre visual glitches, and yeah bad desync), but the campaign so far is visually gorgeous. Given how atrocious the original launch trailers were for gameplay 1+ years ago, and how gawd awful Halo 5 was, had Microsoft launched on the original timeline it would’ve been a franchise killing disaster.

There’s also serious problems with the monetization scheme that has the potential to alienate players (it’s already doing that). If 343 is going to treat the Halo franchise as a GAAS that’s both depressing and a “well I guess that’s the state of gaming now” moment.

Nuclear weapons under M.A.D. are already a propaganda / deterrance strategy.

Even in their initial military use, absent M.A.D., the message was "we can deliver overwhelming destruction with little or no exposure, and you have no effective counteremasures, with the expectation that the enemy would cease hostilities.

That messaging proved effective, even if it did require repeating.

Firefox isn't perfect. I'm sure if you go back to the last major browser war, you'll see that Firefox didn't "win" that war. But they did win the fight they were fighting. They proved that you don't have to put up with the monopolistic behavior of Microsoft to browse the internet.

Today, Google and Microsoft and Apple are fighting Browser War 2, and it looks as though Google is winning. However, Firefox is still fighting, but not to win. But to prove that we don't have to put up with the monopolistic behavior of Google to browse the internet.

Firefox has had it's ups and downs. But "winning the war", in my mind, isn't the point of Firefox.

The attention to pipeline speed is great, i don't think I have seen anything this detailed before.

> IPv6 is a disaster. It's too difficult to understand or configure properly, and it's too different from IPv4. There is a ton of software that breaks with IPv6, and a ton of system administrators that doesn't understand it (and for a reason, it's too complicated for nothing).

Now consider other tech that's even more different and how we jumped on it over the last decade. Anything related to mesh / overlay networks is just as complicated in practice and we learned how to use it just fine. People are capable of learning and lots of public traffic already goes over IPv6. And if they cannot learn about IPv6 given all the time we had available... maybe they should be replaced with people who can learn? We managed to move from IPX to IPv4 in the past and that was a bigger change.

Allow me to pile on here.

I used to believe as you do. Then I was a little down on my luck and found myself living in a poor, high-crime neighborhood. It was a shocking for me. There were cops everywhere, but they somehow never managed to help a situation.

I called the police multiple times because of violence in the area -- including for a discharged firearm in the apartment upstairs. Sometimes they showed up, sometimes they didn't. And when they did, they invariably contrived to make things worse.

I could have walked to the precinct station in less time than the police typically responded to calls. They were routinely aggressive and bullying to victims. They were dismissive of eye-witness testimony and anyone who volunteered assistance. They made open threats to anybody who questioned them or asserted their rights -- to record an interaction, retrieve their personal effects, or even help calm a neighbor in distress.

The police in that community drove around in custom cars and body armor, armed to the teeth. They hassled hard-working men, women, and even children as they went about their daily business, humiliating them in front of their neighbors for sport. They were -- almost to a man -- officious, patronizing cowards.

I moved to that neighborhood believing that police dedicated their lives to serve and protect their communities. I have several police officers in my family and, prior to my time south of the tracks, had always believed their side of the story. Criminals bad. Cops heroes.

But I left that neighborhood afraid of the cops. Far more afraid than of any of the many criminals in that community. I left with the understanding that most American police are little more than a terrifyingly well-armed gang. They have a fundamentally oppositional stance to the communities they are supposed to serve. And they are almost completely unaccountable for their actions and inaction.

So no, it's not the luxury of the rich to criticize the cops or call for a reallocation of police funds from guns to training and crime prevention. The poor have been doing it for ages. We were just ignoring them.

From what I see, it also has some strict limits. My basic uBlock+ install has 82780 network filter rules. Chrome seems to "only" guarantee 30000 rules, and I don't know if these match 1-to-1.

And there don't seem to be dynamic replacements, which might be useful to trick adblock detection. Not sure how far in the cat-and-mouse game we are on that front, but I sure don't like the idea of giving the mice highly limited rulesets while the cats can do and do whatever they like.

It must have been a calculated decision to name it 'Defund the police' - if it had been called what it really is, which is 're-allocate percentages of funds from the enforcement arm of the police to more pre-emptive interventions and other services while still increasing budgets all around' or even just 'reform the police' it would not have had legs. 'Defund the police' has legs but it's easily used by political opponents. Perhaps a student of political science can chime in on the merits of blunt messaging and if it has a longer term impact.

I'm a bit surprised the Economist published an article with such weak arguments as a counter. Mr.Li writes:

> I would suggest that when it comes to outcomes, China doesn’t score so badly. The country has its problems—inequality, corruption and environmental degradation to name a few

These problems are faced by all other nations. The crimes against humanity the CCP continues to commit against Uyhgurs are absent from the UK. This is exactly the violence that Toomas Hendrik Ilves writes about his father escaping, and a direct consequence of the absence of "Liberal Democracy".

>The government has been tackling them aggressively. This is probably why a vast majority of Chinese people tell pollsters that they are generally satisfied with how the country is being governed

Again, if you allow "confiscation of homes and property; denying schooling and jobs to the children of the repressed; restrictions on travel; midnight arrests by secret police. It leads to extrajudicial killings; people “disappeared”; lives destroyed." (from Ilves) If you have a social status sofware that tracks dissent and imposes social punishments you will reduce dissent. If you abduct critics and forbid opposition, you will only hear the voices of those who agree.

Quoting from a reply on an issue in the rust async-wg repo:

> Are people doing this? Does it work? :)

> Kind of every single successful async framework since the inception of eventloops :-)

> libevent, libev, libuv, boost asio, GTK, QT, seastar, nginx, javascript + node.js, dpdk, netty, grizzly, dart, etc.

> Besides Rust the main frameworks which tried to do move tasks between executors are Go and C#'s Threadpool executor (although I think the ASP.NET default executor might have fixed threads).

> Therefore the state of the world is actually more that Rust would need to prove that its approach of defaulting to thread-safe is a viable alternative than questioning the effectiveness of single-threaded eventloops. Their effectiveness in terms of reducing context switches and guaranteeeing good cache hit rates was more or less what triggered people to move towards the model, despite the ergonomic challenges of using callbacks.
