Below is a video of a Marin County Supervisor reading a letter sent in by a prominent local doctor regarding the SMART train project. It's this kind of thing that IMHO, is at least part of the reason why there will never be BART to Marin.

You can step inside (and perhaps even ride) a Key System bridge unit at the Western Railway Museum near Suisun City, which has its own electrified railway line!

Once upon a time, this line was part of an electric railway connecting Oakland and San Francisco to Sacramento. A hundred years later, electrification between Sacramento and the Bay is a long-term wish list item for Capitol Corridor. It is such a shame that the US allowed its passenger rail system to atrophy.
Thanks for explaining. I guess if you ever decide to become a foreign spy, you can point to this as "relevant experience" in THAT job interview. Or something.

That would require 1) budgeting more money for science or 2) hiring fewer scientists. Recent U.S. history has very much shown us unwilling to do 1), which means that we're going to get 2). I'm pretty sure that's not really an outcome scientists want either, and arguably it'd be bad for the nation's long-term competitiveness.
Signed binaries use will come into being with trusted computing, they are embedding Denuvo in the operating system, aka future compilers will allow game companies and companies like autodesk to sign their exe's and the exe's if cracked can be added to a list that windows 11 can force update the bios to add these cracked exes to a list that will refuse to run.

That's the gist of trusted computing they are building an alternative internet/mainframe computer inside yours that they only have access to.

Where have you been the last 23+ years? The videogame industry has been stealing PC games since 1997 with ultima online. Hear it from the dev's themselves.

Don't think MMO's killed local PC games? Listen here kids.

https://youtu.be/lnnsDi7Sxq0?t=1134

EA killed ultima 9 when the UO beta got massive interest, that lead to the death of PC games as local applications, the industry from then on there was a massive war to back end all PC games, they couldn't immediately do that to quake and urneal because we'd been treated too good with Warcraft 1-3, Descent 1-3, Quake 1-3, and build engine games like Duke 3d. The entire industry has always wanted to kill piracy and Ultima online gave the entire industry the go ahead once they realized that many of our fellow programmers and gamers were irrationally stupid beyond their wildest dreams.

Anyone playing quake and Descent at the time fear the loss of dedicated servers and level editors which used to come with the games, we knew if Ultima online was successful that Publishers would want to back end every fucking PC game and that's the end of the personal computer and the return of IBM and mainframe computing.

"Signed exe's" and trusted computing is the return of mainframe computing of the 60's in new bullshit language but I don't expect the mmo/steam generation to do anything but froth at the mouth. When they were the ones killing gaming and gave birth to microtransactions.

You can't put MTX in diablo 1, warcraft 1-3, or starcraft 1 because they are local applications that run entirely from your pc. None of the code has been stolen out of the game carved back behind a user account and login requirement. Like with most PC games these days.

We're losing gaming history and generation mmo is to blame for their general cluelessness of the evil of mainframe computing.
Honestly these all seem like perfectly reasonable complaints in the context of apple hardware (rather than the usual “open up the hardware” stuff, which whether valid or not apple clearly has no interest in doing. All of the issues that this post raises are perfectly reasonable for a Mac running macOS)

what about their "buffer zone" with finland?
I think you may be on to something here with that. Not sure when it'll happen, but it's definitely not a matter of "if" in my opinion. And that worries me.

Buying a computing device without the ability to truly disconnect it from the internet when I choose is a MAJOR red flag. "You can just click the wifi icon to turn off internet access" is not at all satisfactory, especially when there's a 5G connectable radio in the thing's firmware. Nice feature if your regular internet stops working, but because of the closed nature of Apple devices, we have zero way to audit whether or not it really IS disconnected from the internet when we're _told_ that it is. And to my mind that not only justifies the assumption that we're being lied to about this (and if discovered it'll conveniently be "fixed" in an "update") and other such things, but requires that assumption as well.

Just another in a long line of signals that all point to more remote monitoring and surveillance. We all know Apple's supposed commitment to "privacy" is just marketing designed to trick those who don't know any better.

I'm already exploring a complete abandonment of all Apple devices in favor of self-built and maintained Linux systems for personal and professional computing day-to-day. It'll be a long transition, and I'll have to virtualize a hackintosh (somehow) to use a few "must-have", employer/client-mandated apps. It's not going to be easy, but I'm pissed off enough with Apple's dragging their heels on implementing basic *nix features that allow for things like containers via kernel namespaces for so damn long, that I'm willing to climb that mountain no matter how tough it gets.

Indeed, if the US had just blockaded and mined the seas around the Japanese home islands and ignored the rest of the Pacific Theater the war would have been over in a year, possibly two. Surrender or starve to death. Those are the joys of not being self-sufficient in food and going to war with an economy more than four times the size of yours.
A full single-file archival HTML file would really get you pretty far in the regard (embedded CSS, no JS, data/base64 images). You might even convince me that JS is okay if needed to render the page, but a static dom would be better.
Totally! Have been 23 years in tech now (specifically in enterprise software) and am still amazed that we keep reinventing the wheel over and over again. Then again that is the only way software can keep demanding a premium. Standardize and you are racing it down to being a commodity. This is the natural cycle in any industry but software adamantly keeps it self in the handicraft stage.
Congratulations @troygoode. This is a real problem that needs to be solved. And this space is getting exciting. I'm working on something similar @ Engagespot(https://engagespot.co)
Most other counties don’t attempt to build motorways through cities the way we do in the US. Until moving to San Francisco I’d never seen a 6 lanes each way motorway. Gained a new appreciation for the public transit in U.K. cities outside of London which I’d previously considered shitty.
>There've been empires for many thousands of years, and for a number of decades now (we can't say a century yet), there haven't really been any. There've been foreign interventions and neo-colonialist activities and exploitation, but on the grand scale, and relative to all of the past, you have to be honest and admit the worst is over.

And who was the most recent to colonize? It's good that it isn't still happening, it really is, but the west still did that until they sufficiently benefited and then gave it up and said "it's okay no one is colonizing anymore! This is a new peaceful Era". No reparations just deciding to forget about it all. So again, what should be taken from western citizens until they are willing to fix their culture into one that makes right on the wrongs they've done?
Cancel Culture as foreign policy. Awesome :/
Is this really necessary? Of course there is a difference between hiding from bombs and having financial lives turned upside down. That's not the point. Do you sort all beggars on the street and choose who you help and who you won't based on the severity of their situation?

We can only deal with what we have in front of us right now. Right now, Russia is 1) committing war crimes in Ukraine and 2) threatening the world with nuclear war if he doesn't get what he wants. So of course we are talking about the situation at hand. When the imminent threat is over, by all means, we can criticize everyone else who is or has committed evil too, including the US and China for their crimes against civilians.

But right now, the crisis at hand is that Russia has invaded Ukraine and Putin has lied again and again. How can we take Russia's grievances seriously when Putin has been acting on bad faith all along.
In my opinion, economic integration must be preceded by complete nuclear disarmament.

This is tangential, but I've noticed a trend with this argument and other debates in biomedicine where there's a particular form of appeal to authority that takes the form of immunity by authority. That is, "anyone who is not credentialed in X cannot criticize the practices of those in X."

This assumption, if accepted, creates a sort of a ethical-logical problem where a class of experts cannot be criticized by those outside of the field, leading to an inherent conflict of interest in issues where the nature of the problem are the practices of those in the field. If everyone in the field is doing problematic thing A, but the only people who can evaluate whether A is problematic, there's no way to change the field.

It's basically like not only letting criminals be police and judges of their crimes, but forbidding anyone who isn't a criminal be police or judge.

I'm not saying virologists are criminals, or even that the lab leak theory is correct, but it's the same ethical dilemma, which is what people are pointing to here. It's also not unique to COVID; it shows up in other issues, especially those surrounding medical practice.

In society we have to prioritize the substance of argument or criticism above credentials; otherwise it leads to lack of transparency. There always has to be an outside overseer.
it's certainly possible for 80% of a cohort to be below average, if there's a huge skew in the metric such that it's no longer a normal distribution.

The outliers can (the high achievers) pull the average way up. And as women tend to want to date "up", and they intuitively perceive that most of the men they meet are of average or below average, because they know of the existence of the outliers.
Plastic bags are the worst for potato storage. If the potatoes look fresh, rip large holes in the bag and lay flat in a dark place. If they aren’t really fresh, remove them, wash them and put them in something with good airflow like a colander.

I have never tried stroking potatoes with a layer of dirt but seems plausible.

Polynomial models are generally usable for most applications. If you need lots of accuracy, such as for long-range stereo, they sorta work only for traditional and non-wide lenses.
No. It's a simple app, but it's basically not maintained by any one person.

How many useful features does, say, slack add? Certainly none that I'm using.

My point isn't that it should be easy, but rather than these companies are utterly directionless and obsessed with solving scaling issues they either haven't hit yet, or don't know enough about to come up with a solution for.

Have you tried any exercise or diet combinations? Curious to understand what didn’t work.
Yeah, the latest Fedora is getting pretty nice between Gnome and Wayland.

What’s shocking to me is how bad first party software is getting. Acrobat DC kills the battery on my MBP doing, among other things, constantly running some cloud updater thing. It’s worse at browsing PDFs than a decade ago. Same thing for Outlook. They’ve started integrating a bunch of web technologies into it. It actually has less features now than before (tasks and notes redirect you to the website).

And I don’t just mean that the latest version is slower on older hardware. It’s vastly slower on current hardware than the old versions were on the hardware that was contemporary at the time. My work machine is a ThinkPad i7 that boosts to 4.2 GHz. Just hitting Win-Right to snap Outlook to one half of the screen causes it to visibly spasm.

That reads like they were called "witches" by modern archaeologists, due to their pointy hats resembling that of the Western trope. Were they actually considered witches of any sort by their contemporaries?
Historically, when enough people rise their countrymen become reluctant to shoot them. There seems to be a tipping point required, which probably varies between cultures. It's probably caused by a combination of empathy and fear of recriminations should the revolution become successful.
It's pretty off-topic, but ...

> Japan had centuries of peaceful self-imposed isolation while the continental nations of China and Indochina were engaged in endless wars, which was utilized to build up an empire while safely protected by the Sea of Japan.

While Japan had a stable border, it also had many periods of feudal lords fighting each other. Also, the reason Japan became an Empire was that it received and internalized Western knowledges much earlier than many other countries (starting with Rangaku "Dutch learnings" in the 17th century), and later was forced to open its ports by Western powers, which resulted in disagreement over the nation's course, a series of bloody civil wars, and the Meiji Restoration, which made the emperor an iron-fisted ruler of a modern nation.

It's not exactly a story of an island enjoying isolated peace and suddenly emerging as a superpower. Korea was a country that enjoyed almost total isolation during the same period (16-19th centuries) and look where it got them.
Interesting to see this here. I bought this book and I sometimes reference the free online PDFs too. This is a great book for those interested in engineering and signals.

I think the more general point here is that, because LEO is a place, people tend to think of it as being kind of like Central Park or Spain, giving them misleading intuitions about what kinds of interactions to expect. A good starting point for your intuition pump is to remember that the surface area of LEO is basically the same as the surface area of Earth. It's slightly larger, because the radius is larger, but the radius is only about 8% larger in this case.

Now consider that we're talking about, in this case, satellites distributed over 30 km of altitude (thickness). This gives you a volume that's roughly ten times the volume of the Earth's oceans. (You can throw in the crust too if you find it helpful.) So instead of thinking about shrapnel from a barrel bomb trying to hit a microwave oven in Central Park, think about trying to hit a microwave oven somewhere in the oceans of ten Earth-sized planets. Even with a 7-km-per-second supertorpedo with two months of fuel, it's not going to be easy without guidance.

Space, in short, is big.

I'd like to blame stupid movies like Star Wars and Gravity for this, but I think it's just the kind of cognitive error the humans are unavoidably prone to. It's easy to get results that are off by nine orders of magnitude like this when you just rely on your untutored intuition.

The other counterintuitive thing about LEO is that, though for hypervelocity collisions it's a three-dimensional space, for things like rendezvous or getting from your launch trajectory to your desired orbit, it's a six-dimensional space of orbital elements. For understanding the results of a barrel bomb in orbit, it may be more useful to think of the nails as being distributed across a small ball of this six-dimensional space in the six-dimensional point occupied by the barrel, rather than gradually spreading out in a complicated way in three-dimensional space. The humans are not good at intuitively reasoning about six-dimensional spaces either.
Depending on the local rules you may not be able to get a certificate of occupancy without a functional kitchen. That would be a reason the builder must install a stove. Wouldn’t have to be THIS stove but there may need to be A stove in order for the local government to approve you to finalize the deal with the builder.
It is great to see all those tiny tricks on optimizing small space usage. And this applies beyond a woodshop.
The "I took my marbles and went home, but I hear you all are so bad at this stuff, so I'll trouble myself to come back and save everyone" bit was completely unnecessary and savior-complex-y. I nearly didn't read the important bit (discord is basically EOL'ing the current stable API in a matter of months) because my eyes rolled so hard I nearly fell off my chair.

Discord is a company that seems to just fly by the seat of their pants. A great example would be "threads", for which they rolled out with no notice to server admins - it just suddenly appeared - and worse, threads were rolled out before thread-related roles were.

Even worse: threads created before the roles were updated to include thread roles could not be deleted by server admins/moderators.

The mind boggles that such a large company, presumably full of very qualified and well paid engineers (and likely piles of "UX" people) could generate such a clusterfuck.

Another great "feature" of discord: blocking someone, unlike every other platform save IRC, does not hide your content from them. It hides them from you.
> My main point here is not the nuclear thread, I am focusing on the fact that US security concerns outweighed Cuba's defense interests, they asked for the missiles after the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion. So while ideally every sovereign country should be free to decide whether or not they want to join NATO and which kind of military assets it wants to place there, I think one should not plainly dismiss Russia's security concerns about its neighbors becoming NATO members.

That argument does not work since you have not come up with a new security argument after a pointed out there was not concrete security argument after you withdrew the nuclear threat:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30570482
For the argument to work, for the analogy to work, NATO's threat to Russia needs to substantially change if Ukraine joins NATO.

If there was such a security argument the next step would be to ask if Putin is going about insuring his security in a reasonable and efficient way which I have not seen a good argument for.

> I am not claiming to know what Putin thinks, when I write »Putin considers Ukraine becoming a NATO member a security thread.« this is of course just a shorthand for »Considering everything I know, especially what Putin said and did, it seems to me the most plausible explanation that Putin considers Ukraine becoming a NATO member a security thread.«, nothing more, nothing less. I don't think anyone could reasonably mean anything else with a phrase like »Putin thinks« in this context, therefore I didn't think it is necessary to use really precise language.

My observation over the last ~10 years is that claiming to know the personal thoughts or moral character, feelings of political leaders has seen(edit sp) an uptick in political conversations/arguments. If I were to do a rough estimate I would say I have seen more arguments like that, or at least are indistinguishable, than not. I am just comment on what I end up interacting with rather than claiming a global trend(edit added sentence). Enough that I can not, without wasting everyones time, assume, without verifying, that people are arguing and thinking with nuance when using such language.
The tldr is there are times you want the actual url that the client requested, but many tools helpfully unescape the urls, and it seems like by spec (api? Actual http?) Apache cannot provide the encoded url, so presumably it isn’t unique there due to people trying to be compatible.

The solution was just a different escaping scheme that other apps in the stack don’t recognize and so can’t be “helpful” with, which honestly seems like a reasonable solution given the constraints
I didn't realize that. So basically holding Tether, anywhere, entails the same risks as banking. Except that the guys running your bank are a bunch of grifters with no regulatory oversight. This is going to be a huge disaster.
Market economies are incredibly resilient to this kind of chaos.
Sanctions are changing daily, and lots of business are “self-sanctioning” beyond the formal sanctions boundaries to minimize the cost of dealing with changes (and also of dealing international partners, who are dealing with different sanctions regimes targeting Russia.)
We are isolating Russia and creating a pressure cooker with the intention to blow the lid off(Putin). West is supplying the heat, and the water is comprised of the Oligarchs and Russian people.
Once Japan was at war with the US it had already lost. They’d have been better off invading the British and Dutch colonies and hoping the US wouldn’t get involved.
> Have you thought about what happens if Russia looses? Ukraine is a red line for them.

Honestly? The Russians go home. Putin makes threats, but they're to scare his adversaries into pulling their punches out of fear, while he does what he was always going to do.

If his goal is to rebuild the Soviet empire, it's an automatic failure if he escalates until Moscow is a smoking pit.
To mock or not to mock: is that even a question?
