LOL, now nobody is going to respond to that other guy because he's only offering 2k. And now that we're talking serious amounts of money, it would be foolish for anyone to attempt to earn this bounty without signing a contract in advance.

Deutsch and Hanson: How predictable is the future?
Florida is pretty terrible. Even if you are totally cool with never doing anything outside, never engaging in culture, and never talking to other people, there is literally no positive side to living in Florida other than the combined lack of winter and access to a beach. Sure, people are more right-wing, but I'd much rather live in Texas than Florida. Even a desert is more interesting than endless strip-malls, and big Texas cities are more cultured, and even more commercially diverse, than any part of Florida. Practically speaking, Florida is also always overpriced, and insurance and hurricanes are annoying (and going to get worse).
Maybe this is the right time for a rant. Or to be really real, if that makes any sense.

I often wonder how people who are sentenced to prison manage to deal with social relationships. In a situation like that, I would imagine people try to create social relationships with whoever is around. Even if the people they have a chance to speak to are, let's say, unsavory.

When covid started, it started to become difficult to maintain social relationships with those who were more acquaintances and less so friends. I have someone I would call a best friend though, who I've known since 11th grade, and we've maintained talking to each other a few times a week usually.

I think polarization of ideas has become a problem for everyone since covid. Or maybe since Trump. I'm not really sure. It seems like everyone wants to fight for a team, and I guess that is part of what comprises a human being. I get it, I like to play fighting games, which is by nature, zero sum.

I think the question is how does one stay sane given the nature of society with covid. Given the climate, it's hard to say anyone behaves in a sane manner anymore. I feel like playing into the zero sum game has become some sort of addiction, one that isn't quite fully understood yet.

I've always thought that the internet was some sort of new addiction that hasn't had any research into it. I remember AOL and I would be online for long periods of time, preventing my parents from using the phone since it was a 56k modem. And later in life when I had my issues with alcohol and marijuana, I saw strong parallels with my behavior with the internet.

I suppose this has gone on a tangent, but I think it's very relevant to mental health. Social contact is just a single aspect of mental health, and I think it's less necessary than one might presume. At least from my perspective, I feel like I behave saner than others who may be addicted to the internet, or god knows what.

In my opinion, I think to maintain mental health, one must practice brutal honesty, give others the benefit of the doubt, or at least a chance to correct their thinking which could be influenced by various gods that the machine creates. All of us are only human, myself included.

You sleep on an idea, really think about how involved you are in the lives of your peers, and what role you are assuming and what role you really have. And try to correct that cognitive dissonance that seems all too rampant these days.

It doesn't hurt to be optimistic about the future either. Pessimism is bad for the soul in my personal opinion, though it seems to be quite the addiction these days.
In theory, the choice of USB-C or -{,mini,micro}A/B is orthogonal to the choice of version: there are USB-A and even USB-B connectors (with additional pins) that support USB 3.0 as well. There is a logic to this.

In practice, it is confusing.
I dunno, I kinda side w the parent you replied to; it's not like 12-factor app principles or CICD are only for big teams.

IME, a gift card is a nice/friendly way to push a frugal person to spend money on themselves that they wouldn't do otherwise. If it's cash they'll just deposit it. If a gift card they might actually buy themselves something.
I'd be fine with charge-only cables if there was a distinctive, mandatory, universally-honored way of indicating that.

I deliberately carry charge-only cables when I anticipate encountering untrusted chargers, and I've designated all mine with a band of red heatshrink on both ends.
For entertainment, I tend to read about things outside my field — things like In the Pipeline where I learn about FOOF and chlorine triflouride and freaky molecules like jawsamycin (insert shark theme here). I also watch Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board videos on YouTube, like that time a refrigerator accident at a poultry plant caused hydraulic shock and released a massive cloud of ammonia, and ~150 contractors hanging out across the river working on Deepwater Horizon cleanup measures got sent to the hospital.
I mean, it could also very well be Apple tracking you.
These are useful for charging in no security situations. You can connect your device to an untrusted port in a wall with a charge-only cable.

It's awe-inspiring how much more quickly a human brain can learn versus a computer. These companies have expended tens of thousands of engineer-hours of some one the best minds in the industry to build models derived from tens of thousands of hours of training data, and still I'd place money on a novice human driver with just ~100 hours of experience besting any AI in the majority of "strange" driving circumstances.

Of course, if that human brain is tired, stressed, and checking their phone, it's a whole different story :)
You seem quite convinced that you have the carrying capacity argument correct. I can understand why: it's really easy to come up with doomsday arguments of this form. Extrapolate any rising trend against any perceived constraint and bingo bango you have your prophecy. Thing is, people have been doing this since the dawn of history, and they've been spectacularly wrong since the dawn of history. Doomer models just never seem to be nearly as clever as real human beings.

One day the doomers might actually get it right for once. I'm not holding my breath, but even if I were, proactive genocide would be a tough sell.

> populations are naturally in slight decline on their own

I am aware.

> No genocide or suffering needed

That depends entirely on why you think this trend is happening, but if you're willing to accept the trend as it stands then we can probably find common ground.
At first read this seems ridiculous, but then I thought about it for a minute and am less certain. I guess at this point why the hell not? Seems like a lot of gray area though. I'm curious to see if anything actually comes of this. What a time to be alive. For what it's worth, odd public mechanisms or no, I do hope everyone finds someone as special to them as my wife is to me.
Hah, yeah. The (spoilers!) more prolonged apocalypse of the rebuilds combined with the larger industrialization of the Evas in Rebuild does make the absence of the industry that marked the first two volumes a bit conspicuous.
An uBlock filter list is the correct solution to this problem. I want to keep browser extensions which have full access to all website contents at an absolute minimum. I only use extensions which are available in the official Arch repos (like firefox-ublock-origin).
I'm not suggesting that they're perfect in any regard, but Hyundai/Kia do tend to implement electronics and software well enough that they're not going to infuriate you for the next five to ten years. Except even they're falling prey to over-electronicification — their absolute latest models are following an industry trend of replacing some physical buttons with touch-haptic panels. Yeesh.

Mazda are still fairly sane and their cars are quite lovely.

In the luxury German segment, BMW are the least worst. (This definitely wasn't the case 15+ years ago, but from 2010 onwards they have been quite good.)
>The sidewalk is public space. Does the public give away free real estate to the restaurant, to be used to generate revenue by the square foot? If the restaurant wants outdoor dining, they can build it on their own property. Perhaps the city should at least charge rent (in non-pandemic times).

The public collects a 10%ish[0] tithe on all that additional revenue, acting as if there is no financial benefit for the state (and public at large) is silly.

It doesn't mean everyone is making a request to a website every minute. I use http://gwene.org/ for example. To me RSS or Atom are a major success, as the blogs I want to read almost always seem to have them. Those that don't, well, I used to scrape, but after a while stopped and forgotten about them.

If gwene goes under, it'll suck but I'll have a gwene like on my own server. If RSS goes under, it'll go under here and there, and not wholesale. Good technology is resilient like that.
Every other self driving company out there has the same type of incident.
Well I would start by differentiating between "dating" and "maintaining" a relationship because I think they are very different problems.

The author specifies "Guys who want to date girls", that makes me think we are dealing with a sales & marketing problem. So I would probably emphasize Diet, Hygiene, Exercise, Fashion and how they pitch/introduce themselves etc.
I didn't say a 95% reduction in population would lead to a consistently healthy world. I said if global population was 5% of what it is now, greenhouse gas emissions would practically be a non problem.
Good chance that being there & getting to tell the story about what happened- even if it becomes a tale about getting ripped off- could end up netting you nearly as much, be just as valuable an experience as connecting & getting paid for it.
‘What are the normal definitions of "road" and "street"?’

The wikipedia article gp linked and I quoted says that street is another word for road and is usually used for paved roads. I’d say that that is consistent with how i’ve seen people use those words.

And of course using words as they are commonly used doesn’t make people bad or stupid. Similarly, using a non-standard definition of a word in some narrow setting doesn’t make the people doing that bad or stupid. But it’s silly for people in that latter group to behave as if the definition they’ve made up is the REAL one that other people just don’t know about.

ETA: I don’t think I have a word for what they’re calling “streets.” Which makes sense; I’m sure if there were an existing word for this, urban planners would just use that instead of repurposing “street.” If it were up to me, I probably would have chosen a different word, since this usage is so at odds with the norm, but I don’t think it matters much as long as the usage is consistent within the discipline itself.
It would be neat to just include a toggle to filter shopping sites. I dislike searching for something like "How to repair X" and instead of getting some good forums you get the top 20 results trying to sell you something related to X.

Deluded self-assurance most reliably delivers success. Cynics and realists tend to not understand this and thus don't take enough risks when they should, and are confined to mediocre results (compared to their peers in similar situations).
You have to pull via HTTPS. SSH checkout is meant for project contributors, which is why IIRC it requires authentication even to pull the code.
--directory makes those files automatically for you

actually, I think those numbers are pretty good. you can zpool export to unmount and then run a non-destructive read test with --filename=/dev/nvme0n1:/dev/nvme0n2... and check that the raw devices get, say, 80%-99% of the advertised speed.

Then you can create a "raw" zvol (no filesystem) with:

create -b 128K -V 100G tank/testme

You can do a benchmark with --filename=/dev/zvol/tank/testme and it should only be testing the striping and raidz stuff. I could get like 65% of the ideal.

Running through the ZFS filesystem seemed to slow down by a good 50% of the ideal. None of this has been tuned.

So to see 20GB/s+ seems pretty good to me.
Math and physics are tested on the MCAT. There is also a reasoning section which a philosophy education would probably help you do well on.
Obviously there are cities in the US built before cars, and a lot of Europe was rebuilt after cars existed, so quantifying the difference would be interesting.

The city I live in, in the northeastern US, started with no particular plan in the 1600s, and indeed, some of the streets were too narrow for cars.

In the late 1700s, a plan was laid out, whereby "the east–west streets were named for mammals while the north–south streets were named for birds".

The town I was born in, was founded in the 1660s. Probably not with a plan for the next 300 years.

> a cynic may think that media’s only purpose is to sells your attention to advertisers

Thinking this makes me a cynic? I don't think so. This is a fact that gets proven right every day on the internet. If anything I'm a hopelessly deluded optimist who thinks the web can actually go back to its pure beginnings when people said what they wanted without worrying that some advertiser will pull their funding.

My suspicion is you're not actually getting HDR video, maybe unless you're using a built-in windows video player. You can look on home theater forums for the work people have to do to get actual 10bit video working on windows and I've never once seen it be plug-and-play. By default it will either take 10bit content and truncate/dither to 8bit, or totally fuck up the transfer function so the video looks like ass. Honestly if you're happy with what you have now I encourage you not to validate that you're getting proper 10b HDR because it's very frustrating. The only devices that might be plug-and-play are current-gen game consoles.
> $8 in this case also has to cover the cost of the 4G connection, which likely is in the $1 to $2 range.

I could get a suitable data line myself for $1, at quantity one. I doubt Toyota has to pay anywhere near that much.
IQ isn't a linear scale, so 120 IQ isn't actually all that high (90th percentile vs 50) You can get half way there with proper diet, sleep and a few years of education.

That said, I think it would be a terrible experience to have IQ in the outlier ranges.

Imagine living in a world where everyone's IQ dropped by like 30 points. Imagine if the dominant forms of entertainment were screeching children yelling obscenities. Imagine if all levels of government were controlled by these people, because they were more relatable and thus more electable. Imagine if everyone shared certain idiotic beliefs, and made those beliefs manifest through the weight of sheer numbers.

Anyways, I think 90th percentile is a good sweet spot.
If you're trying to retire early Social Security isn't going to kick in for a fair amount of years.
Looking at the actual manual + FAQ for the thing, and the company's comments at the bottom of the article:

- You need to turn it on when you're going to go ride.

- When you do that (in brief summary): You get a green LED if you're good to go, a red one if you're not, and if it's dead you get no LED, obviously.

- If you're in the no subscription state or it's otherwise not connecting to the app, you get two LEDs flashing red when you go to turn it on. You've got a 30 day grace period on the subscription expiration and it won't cut out out mid-ride even if that's when it hits the 30 day mark, just the next time you go to ride it'll give you the error instead of green.

- There's a battery light that comes on with 30% of battery left, which looks to be about 7 hours.

I would say that "when I hit the power button to go ride, I get a green LED if it's working as intended" is about as foolproof as is reasonably possible.

I'm not a huge fan of the subscriptions for everything model, but IMO their policies are about as safe and reasonable as you could get for the product.

I'm also not a lawyer, but I'm not sure "I picked up a safety device I don't know how to use, didn't read the directions on how to use it, used it wrong, and it didn't protect me" is really the legal standard.

At risk of stating the obvious: There's a pretty much infinite number of ways you could improperly use any safety device and have them not work as intended, plenty of which "reasonable" people could think to do.
Buying each other's products only gives you what's actually made it to market. Plug-fests are full of unreleased stuff. (Buying each other's stuff, to tear it down for competitive analysis, is exceedingly common. But you don't do that at a plugfest.)

Complete rubbish.

We're past the sustainable carraying capacity because we have already brought about mass extinction events, irreversible destruction of habitat and environment with our existing population (and it even started when the population was far lower, it's just that it's been accelerating). I have the counter example. There is no "model".

Also it's strange you accuse me of being a spectacularly wrong doomer when you were just now spouting easily disproven doomsaying about genocides. Maybe tone down the ad hominems a little at least while you're sitting in your glass house.
Oh, for sure. To me, Mastodon scratches a certain shitposting itch that I can't quite get anywhere else, and it's frankly mostly for my benefit more than it is for others. My "feed" is mostly comprised of some bots that post useful/interesting/funny stuff, as well as a good smattering of tangentially interesting human accounts. It's almost completely garbage, but it's garbage that I have control over. I remember enjoying Twitter for a few months before it went sterile and corporate, but Mastodon sort of picks up where it left off. It's not a never-ending cesspit of "suggested" content, advertisements and politically charged conversation. It's just goofy and occasionally informative, and something I can put down after 5 minutes of use like it's a holistic digital snack.
>They were also using their investor money to rent out some ten million dollar home in the Silicon Valley hills as their office

Is this supposed to be a bad thing? Why?

The focus on the price of the house seems pretty strange in an area with a particularly high price-to-rent ratio. But I guess $20k/mo just doesn’t sound as spicy.
I think I’ve observed reliably-emitted CMOVs when using equivalent (but contrived) arithmetic branchless idioms, e.g. instead of (a ? b : c) write (-!!a & b | -!a & c) (yes, this is rather repulsive, but less so if you think about the negation as turning C-style booleans into Forth/BASIC/mask-style booleans).

It should just be a builtin.

The login wall probably marginally increased whatever signup metrics they were tracking and some middle manager at Quora probably patted themselves on the head for a job well done for that genius idea, but it killed my interest in Quora too. I can't be bothered to try and login every single time and I just started purposefully avoiding Quora links going forward once that was implemented. And it's a shame because the content is pretty great and a site geared around answering questions could be the most amazing source of human knowledge out there. But it doesn't work if you purposely try and restrict the content.
If I put a gun to your head and then sell you a service of not shooting, that's a clear value too right?
My point isn't that everyone in the country is in a position where they can afford luxury eggs, but that that very few care to.

The idea of voting with your wallet does not mean that there are no costs to doing so. Eggs are a good example because the cost is very small to upgrade. Yet, the vast majority of consumers, who could easily spend $1 more per carton, do not.
If the pandemic has taught me anything it's that the word science doesn't mean the same thing to all people.
Quora is a cesspool of dark patterns nowadays and I avoid it or should I say it avoids me. It doesn't work without javascript at all, you can't even view any comments without an account, it's following the same pattern as LinkedIn, Facebook, even Twitter is moving in this direction. They've abused the goodwill of their legitimate content-creators to the point that most those still hanging around are trying to not-so-subtly peddle some product vaguely related to your question.

You need supply and demand in the content space. You can't put up walls like this and expect to just ride name-recognition, network effect and past success forever -- especially when your main offering is essentially just a glorified Yahoo Answers.

Unless you're a Google property where this level of scumminess is countered with at least a Newtonian level of practical convenience, you can't pull this crap. Quora is finding this out, Medium and maybe someday Youtube if Google keeps putting an ad on everything that moves.

How is it a Ponzi scheme? Or why do people call it that?

People use the term loosely to refer to a situation where money has been put into a system, and nothing productive has been done with it, such that taking your money out as soon as possible is probably prudent, before the market decides it's worth zero because the supply of greater fools is used up.

There's several lifetimes worth of content out there that's older than I am. Some of it I may never watch/read/listen to, but some of it I will, especially the works that are regarded as "classics".

I wouldn't be surprised if millions of people first experienced the plot of Dune this year, even though the book is over 50 years old. When I talk with friends who are still reading the books (or waiting for part 2 of the movie) I try to avoid spoiling things as a courtesy.

At this point some endings like Citizen Kane have become so memetic that it's impossible to avoid spoilers, but some people still prefer to go in as blind as possible.
