I'm considering moving back to Boston after a decade away. COL aside- I'm curious how much actual progress has been made with respect to proper bike infrastructure. Last time I lived there you were really risking your safety. The layout of the city just isn't conducive to cycling from what I remember.

Alex Jones was right about Jeffrey Epstein, the jet, the island, and all the child abuse that has happened there.
No, the reporter explicity said, "It's not the format, it's the content." They were looking for evidence, they didn't care whether it was written or not.
> test the boundaries to fully understand at a fundamental level.

This sort of thing is why I wrote https://crates.io/crates/misfortunate

Rust lets me write safe implementations of well-known Traits like Ord (the trait which compares things because they are ordered) but promises the outcome when these traits are relied upon elsewhere is always safe even if my implementations are very silly.

So I can sort() things for which I've implemented nonsensical ordering (e.g. they all claim they're before each other) and Rust promises that's still safe. This futile task might well not finish and if it does finish they won't seem any more or less "sorted" than they were before I tried, but it won't crash or do anything unfathomable.

And indeed that's exactly what happens, cementing my faith in the idea of Rust.

[Not all Rust's traits are safe. If you have to say "unsafe" to write the implementation then it wasn't safe, and if you do something nonsensical in an unsafe trait then you get to keep both halves when it breaks, misfortunate is only interested in safe traits]
Oh good, mob justice on the networks. Surely this IP system itself can never be manipulated to cut off people by mistake or for revenge.

Could you infer from this that lockdowns increased Covid-19 severity by reducing exposure to sunlight for the average person?
I spent my childhood and young adulthood living in rural/suburban zones in Appalachia where cars were a requirement for living. No car means no groceries, no socialization, and not even any recreation, because even to safely walk or bike I had to drive somewhere to do it. I actually find driving to be somewhat fun and meditative, but I hate being forced to drive. I want to walk to places, and I want to bike to places. I sold my car and moved to a bike-friendly city, and I'm determined to never again live anywhere that requires me to own a car to survive. Of course, rents are higher here--I pay $910 a month--but given that the average TCO of a car in the US is $950 a month, I'm actually saving money by living somewhere that I can get away with not owning a car (to be fair I should try to estimate the TCO of my bike, which might generously be $200 per year). I'm thrilled that my city keeps investing in more and more bike infrastructure, and it makes me proud to live here. I'm not even opposed to the possibility of owning a car again someday, but now I have a choice rather than an obligation.
> 2. It's premium advertising real estate. The ad formats you can chuck into a podcast have higher CPM.

Not for long. I'm already starting to skip algorithmically inserted ads in podcasts because they're annoying claptrap like terrestrial radio ads. Adtech companies don't just come along and "use" ad space. They actively ruin its original value with their tactics.
Something changing on my screen every 20/60/whatever seconds that is not conveying desired information would really annoy me, it gets my attention.
This is a rather shallow and naive way of looking at things.

Put bluntly, nukes don't matter, and armed forces are only used to suppress societal discontent. Ukraine sees the regressive authoritarianism Putin creates and didn't like how the pie is cut. Putin is throwing a temper tantrum because he's a dinosaur. He can only look back, and on his deathbed he will look back on a Russia that could and should have been much more.

There is a reason for his party to do all this, but its fear of facing their own failure birthed in greed and paranoia, and not any military strategy in the face of satellites, drones, and hyper-sonic nukes.
That sounds like a rather strong assertion.

I would have supposed rather the opposite.
Can you zoom in and drag your locator maps around once embedded? I only see images being generated
> Maybe they shouldn’t have pulled all the stops on the “yellovske” from Niger for Saddam nonsense and they’d have credibility.

That was two decades ago and totally different people and political party. Be skeptical, but don't just be blindly anti.

> I mean goddam it the gov of Ukraine is saying hold up, we don’t see the same alarm you do.

Odds are pretty good that they see it the same way, they just don't want their economy to crater while waiting.
I see how what I wrote can be read as stating that an individual can’t be fined.

Please note that that is not what I’ve meant. I’ve updated my comment with a bit more info.
Of course as soon as I move away they convert Milwaukee ave to a protected bike lane. I'm not crazy about the midwest overall, but I thought Chicago was one of (if not the most) bikeable city in the country. The combination of bike lanes, lakefront path, and grid layout make it very easy to get around on a bike. Damn now I miss that city :(
A bike lane in the doorzone encourages biking in the most dangerous region of the lane.
But the US doesn’t need any excuse for sanctions or a defensive buildup. Russia’s troop placement is enough for the troop movements and an invasion would justify sanctions on its own. So why lie?

And I agree these sort of lies have been done before, and they’re still being done. They’re used to justify a lot of US military actions which are unjustifiable (e.g. drone strikes). But the motive here is just not that clear to me because we already have enough of an excuse to do whatever we want to Russia over Ukraine.
I don’t bike, but I’d love to see some enforcement for the ubers and delivery vehicles that block bike lanes (and alleys and so on). But it’s Chicago so I’m not holding my breath.
there's lots of money in lies
It’s clear to me that the example of Iraq and WMDs was a bare-faced lie by the US government, concocted to start a war. But does that mean I automatically believe the opposite of anything the US government says from that point onwards? We have to consider more than just the source of the claim.

For Iraq, the US war hawks made it clear they had an objective of going to war in the Middle East. Their plans were obvious.

This seems like a completely different setup. We’re supposed to disbelieve this statement because it’s part of the US government’s evil plan to… prevent a war happening?

And I say this as someone who thinks Russia does actually have legitimate beef with the prospect of NATO expansion, despite their thuggish approach to negotiation.
The problem is Rogan does legitimize many things for a lot of his listeners. I listened to that one COVID episode making news and it's hard not to think "this guy knows what he's talking about" and I have graduate degrees in epidemiology and microbiology. How is a lay person supposed to critically think about his guests and their views?
To add to this, this is entirely Russia’s fault. Before the invasion of crimea eastern, former soviet countries, were more pro-russia and against the “west”. Obviously nobody likes to interact with someone annexing parts of countries, and displacing many civilians, or even worse. So to nobodies surprise the tides turned and the majority in Ukraine and other countries are now pro joining the Nato.
It… does. They just remove the words before printing. It’s called an editor.
Literally no reason?

Having just finishing the war in the middle east, I'm sure the military complex would have a vested interest in joining / starting another conflict.

What about using a conflict to deflect attention away from a market breakdown?

What about using a conflict to drive a post-COVID recovery?

I'm not saying it definitely has to be one of these reasons, but I can think of many off the top of my head. Why are you so certain that USA or NATO nations would have no reason to start a conflict?
Russia has deployed troops to the border. They have stocked up blood - short shelf life. The clock is ticking for them, they need to make a move soon. Given this, I consider it quite believable.
Don't blame the people... This was an obvious consequence of deregulation (that let airlines reduce quality and prices at will) on one hand, and emergence of the Internet where search engines let people pick by the lowest price. It's not surprising at all people started doing just that once they could. Government should simply mandate minimum quality and as a consequence, effectively, minimum price.

Nothing will happen if ticket prices will double - they are so cheap today.
You can not draw parallels with Iraq. US is not willing to go to war over Ukraine, and Europe does not even want to sell weapons to Ukraine.

They are on their own against Putin's Russia.
Do intellectual property rights factor into their contract? I would assume not, that JR is still the copyright holder.
Let’s not move the goalpost: I am pretty sure we’re calling a dam failure a dam failure.
>Unfortunately for them, their previous lies have caught up to them so ...

The sad thing is that they dont need anything. The USA is going to go pick up a fight with Russia, exercise their war muscle to both reactivate that side of the economy and the sense of nationalism that the government needs from its citizens and which has been slowly eroding in the last 20 years or so.

Wag the dog indeed.
As an intermediate step toward real biking infrastructure, one thing I'd love to see in addition to painted lanes is some sort of tactile affordance to remind drivers they've left their lane and are now driving in a space reserved for bicycles. Cat's eyes or the like would do the trick.
Yeah, I have a Pro controller for Monster Hunters, but DoDonPachi was hard enough when I was ten years younger and owned a decent (Xbox 360) stick. I don't think I stand a chance today on anything you have to hold while you play.
I wonder if your father intended it? It's funny to think the joke might have gone unnoticed all those years!
>I don't really understand why anyone who claims to be a proponent of a free market economy has an issue with a private corporation deciding what type of content they want to broadcast.

Perhaps they have other principles too, not just the free market as the be-all end-all.

Not to mention that this isn't the free market operating freely -- it's corporations being told what to do by pressure groups (as opposed to customers of those corporations voting with their wallets, e.g. by not listening to Rogan).
What is very prevalent in America and I believe less so in more bike-friendly countries is that places are designed to keep others out.

This has longstanding racial undertones (google why bridges are too low for buses to pass under in Queen, NY) but the same desire to keep the 'other' out has a grounding in class as well.

Where I live, you can't visit unless you have a car _and_ a place to park it, so visitor traffic is minimized, by circumstance that has become design.
Yes, they basically repeated the same argument to which I responded.

Are you saying that the US goal here is to start a war with Russia?
> They could easily attack Ukraine within hours.

I think it's unlikely Putin will humiliate China by attacking while The Winter Games are on.
You'd think that would be the first sentence on their landing or at least their about page.
I grew up in LA and OC and the bike situation is very uneven. It is certainly wrong to say "its a nightmare outside of Downtown". There is substantial, protected bike infrastructure along all the major waterways. You can ride from downtown to Newport Beach without touching a street. Venice beach and in general the beach cities are quite bike friendly. The places that could use some bike TLC are places like Echo Park or Silverlake, where there's a lot of demand but no infra.
It’s not censorship, nobody is saying he can’t go and do his podcast on his own site. Those artists just don’t want to be associated with him. They don’t want to be earning Spotify money that goes to Rogan. I respect their actions completely.

Also “cancel culture” is mostly not a bad thing, it’s more like “consequence culture”. The people who find themselves “cancelled” almost always still end up with large platforms.
Generally, there might be cases where I agree with you. But this is very different. Spotify paid Joe Rogan 100 million for the podcast. They (probably) own all the rights to this podcast. If they don't like it anymore they can do whatever they want with it. If I buy a TV and don't like it anymore I can also set it on fire. If you don't want this to happen to your TV, don't sell it to me.
More money is always nice but I'd do it for a completely different reason: to send a message that their company is not the orderly garden they think it is.

Usually it's an almost-chaos that's being held together by everyone pretending that it's all fine. And by following a bunch of rituals nobody bothers to modify out of fear not to speak up against the majority.
On Linux success. I think one of 3 things would fix my issues (and thus solve mainstream adoption everyone else) either 1) every computer component manufacture open sources their drivers/firmware or 2) open source drivers get very well funded and supported all around (especially graphics and networking) or 3) Linux standardizes a driver ABI so that proprietary drivers can work on newer versions of the kernel without breaking.
Before i started work i would sit in the car while my partner was getting treatment and play switch. When she came back to the car between appointments we could play mario kart. Such a good system
> free speech (which thrive by removing regulation)

How do we know this?

Many markets show that they work best with a goldilocks-level of just-right regulation, and the level depends on the market.
I mean I in the context of being a developer for Linux.

I’d love to support my apps on Linux… but it is hell. Flatpak seems like it will help immensely, but Flatpak has a ton of people on here who hate it.

Secondly, a quality perspective. So many bugs remain because so much effort is going into patching the same bug in countless distributions, rather than using those resources to make a smaller collection of codebases more bug free.

Thirdly, it intimidates newcomers, be they users or developers. Which distribution should I use? If I have a problem, is the distribution at fault?

And so on.
My skepticism of FOSS is a little stronger.

First, constant churn that always breaks backward compatibility forcing upgrades and never allowing any old software to be used without a permanently high maintenance burden.

Second, the constant diminution of quality in FOSS is annoying af.

Third, FOSS has become a religion for many. All things must be FOSS because it’s a holy conquest, and if just everything were FOSS all would be perfection because reasons.

Unfortunately, I’ve seen things only get worse as FOSS has come to dominate the world. These could be completely unrelated, and maybe everything would still have been crap, but I cannot help but think that were people forced to pay for development they’d be more discerning.

Ukraine has been invaded by Russia and lost land for years now. This isn't a conspiracy theory, but is instead conspiracy fact.

The strategy of appeasement is known to fail because it emboldens dictators like Hitler or Putin to always want and take more.

Putin already has taken a large chunk of Ukraine and Georgia with invasions that launched during a prior olympic event.

He needs to be stopped so that Ukraine doesn't end up getting another Russian imposed genocide and the world doesnt't end up in WW3.
You claimed it was likely so I assumed you had something close to a crystal ball.
Welcome to HN, where some people find a way to fit their agenda into every discussion now, it seems.
I doubt this, at least for my country a simple search in LinkedIn of "NodeJS" and "React" have tenfold the results of searching for "Rails" or even "Django".

It might be a bubble but basically every new startup and small/midsize company are using NodeJS and even big companies are building new services with it.
>The worse thing is that they think they are in the right.

Are you suggesting that I, as a consumer, am in the wrong for choosing which companies I do business with?
Is this a joke? Because he has certainly used the power granted to him.
I’m with you on the cynical stuff, too much of that on the internet. Too dismissive.

But I find LinkedIn’s positivity cold and almost inhuman with the repetition, exclusive positivity, and focus on work.

It seems very weird to me.
It's actually a UN human right.
> what doesn't each airline have its own list?

They do.
Android killed background clipboard access in an Android update entirely, except for system and vendor applications. I had to root my phone to get clipboard sync working again in KDE connect.

I haven't seen the notification myself, but I'm still on Android 11. From what I can tell for user-installed applications, only the active application and the keyboard get clipboard access, regardless of permissions and capabilities declared in the app manifest.

I get why they did this but I think it's a bad choice not to allow the user to opt into clipboard management. Going back to manually typing TOTP codes was more annoying than rooting my phone.
Yes, absolutely agree. Having such list is as important to flight safety as all the other FAA regulations.
Hah, I just added DoDonPachi to my wishlist yesterday. :D

And yep, exactly. I don't want to play everything with keyboard and a mouse but controllers are also pretty meh for many games. I just can't get comfortable using them. I mean I do but it always feels like... something important is missing.

Hence, I am getting the HORI mini arcade stick and will play my bullet hells and beat-em-ups with it. A few 2.5-dimensional RPGs, too.
Yes that’s all fine and dandy, but Obama did make a statement about the UAPs recently, which was remarkable in its own right. Surely claims of quackery are true 99.9% of the time but it’s that .1% that’s the kicker.
If your argument was valid Fox News et al would not be so popular.

Internet service providers must upgrade to IPv6 by December 2022
Well, that is just disgusting. Shame on Putin and Russia. They should have some class and find a teenage girl to accuse the Ukrainians of killing newborn babies. Or failing that, at least make something up about WMDs...

Bullshit. "Monetary stability" is only possible when the GDP and population are also stable, that is, in the pre-industrial Malthusian society.

Through XVth century that worked fine, then came Age of Discovery that distorted supply of first money (through imported stolen gold), then goods (through colonial production). That was still OK but when industrialisation got to be a thing, it just stopped working.

XIX century was the age of almost non-stop economic disaster and bust and boom cycles unseen ever before or after, even worse than the Great Depression - not as widely remembered because leveraged trading wasn't as widespread so fewer people got completely bankrupt, and because XX-century economic statistics engine did not exist yet so people just didn't know properly what was going on. Fiat money saved the day.

There cannot be a stable pricing level without either natural (gold + Malthusian fixed-supply agrarian society) or some truly dystopian artificial stability of supply of both money and goods. Just not possible today.
> Yet you find it hard to believe that the audience can have diverse (in the truest sense of the word)?

I find it hard to believe because up to this point you've made zero effort to offer any proof of that apart from 'trust me bro'. I'm skeptical that Joe has a diverse audience because to have that you need to make an effort, and from what podcasts I've listened of his he became noticeably less accepting of other viewpoints over time, on some topics like covid especially. This could easily lead towards radicalization of his audience, but you just dismiss this possibility. He should really follow his old advice and go to woods and do some ayahuasca, his third eye is fully closed at this point.
Panda looking chain
I am in entertainment engineering and the computer and programming are present in all aspects - generative art, etc.

I was an early supporter of Blender when Ton was taking donations to buy it out from NaN in 2002-ish. I think I had tried it in the late 90s, but then it disappeared. I gave $50 to the fund-raising efforts.

I weaned myself off of Animation Master from my Amiga days!

I used Blender in 2003-4 along with the Python API to turn photos into bas-relief carvings in maple planks on my 4' x 8' CNC router table (www.thewoodenimage.com at the time, a domain I let go).

I did paintings conservation for several years in the mid- to late-90s.

As much as I love making things and art with my computer with programming or as the tool (CAD, simulation, for engineering design), I still crack out my Dr. Ph. Martens inks and brushes for me and my younger kids to play and create. My older kids grew up with less digital apparatus. There is something that happens in doing it this way that just doesn't happen on the computers or tablets, or in programming art. That and the more direct line to reality.

I will forever be torn with doing stuff in the physical world and being immersed in the digital.
>It was Joe's content to do with as he pleased, and his decision was to sell it and allow someone else to do with it as they pleased.

And they did. They published those episodes.

Consistently with a free market, customers of Spotify should also be able to do with them as they pleased - listen to them or not, or even leave Spotify in protest.

Instead, some pressure groups, the media, and a couple of unrelated musicians forced Spotify to unpublish those.
Despite the spin in the generalities, none of the specifics cited in the article support, or are even consistent with, a commitment.

“not ready to deploy” in 1990, "could not foresee circumstances” in 1991. These aren't open-ended commitments, but exactly the opposite.
Except…Colin Powell’s presentation to the UN did not lead to the invasion of Iraq. He was there to persuade the UN to pass a second resolution supporting military action against Iraq and at that he failed.

George Bush was going to invade Iraq either way, and he did. Of course, Powell’s speech did not help the credibility of the US.
I couldn't care any less about making art, and I program for a living and for fun.

"Art" (in the traditional sense of a painting or whatever) leaves me entirely cold.
