I lived in Redwood City for a few years. It was fantastic. We moved there from Tennessee, and after the first week we were like “wow, it has been clear blue skies every day this week!” After another four months with barely a cloud in the sky, it dawned on us that the climate really was quite incredible (although there are two seasons, “green” and “brown”, and the months are swapped from what they are in the southeast).

30 miles north in San Francisco it’s quite a bit cooler and less sunny though. I would drive into the fog every Saturday morning to visit the farmers market.

We’re back in Tennessee now and I forgot how bad my seasonal affective disorder gets. Apparently I crave sunshine.
You're intentionally leaving out the fact that a greater and greater number of manufacturer/OEMs are making necessary tools to properly debug proprietary and locked behind contracts. Or, you have a newer car and haven't had to diagnose yet a myriad of growing issues that you can't check in any way shape or form.

Want to link into any car in the last 5 years can-bus for anything beyond simple air-fuel mixture issues? You can't. You can't even reliably go to a mechanic down the road, as they don't carry the 500k a year license from GM for the proprietary OBD2 scanner.

This problem is 10 fold with electric cars, and 100 fold with Tesla or boutique EV manus.
how about C ... after all curl is just a frontend to libcurl?
The readme says

> Queries - The Record Layer does not provide a query language, however it provides query APIs with the ability to scan, filter, and sort across one or more record types, and a query planner capable of automatic selection of indexes.

So I'm not sure how you can call that a SQL layer when SQL is a query language and FDB Record Layer says it doesn't have a query language?
> Would each city be targeted with one warhead, or blanketed with several over a large area?

It depends on your objective if you want to incinerate a target, maximize damage or produce maximum fallout.

Basically if you want to incinerate a small, hardened underground target you need to send a few nukes to have a high confidence level of success. If you want to damage a city and are OK with detonating in any part of the city then one might suffice. If you want fallout then you want an air burst to the West and let the Easterly winds spread the fallout.

Each missile has it’s own distance and accuracy calculations.

The author has another site called Missle Map that explores these scenarios in much more detail:

Never heard of before, not in Italy at least.
I think it is not so much as Israel has discrimination, but about the region. By comparison to PA or other Arab countries there is very little discrimination in Israel. If the whole region is set on a path for pluralism that would also solve the problem in Israel.
Those things are irrelevant to the question of whether "never can't never" is incorrect in context, which is what you were replying to. Nor was the comment you replied to trying to draw distinctions between groups.
Pfft MacBook? This 12 year old ThinkPad is great, you gotta believe me!
I'm actually in full agreement with you. I must have read your comment "Dostoevsky is not a citizen of Russia" with a different connotation than you intended. Going back and reading it, and the parent comment, makes me realize you were getting at something else. In any event, I also believe is this fervent foolishness.
> Heck, the majority of cars on the street where I live are not legally owned anyway, they are all leased and people like that a lot.

It's not the cars that are becoming less car-person centric that's the root of the so-called problem. It's the people themselves that are becoming less car-centric. As we continue to have more and more people in cities (growth outside large cities is basically nil) we need cars less and less. That means ultimately that we care very little about cars. We lease them to get rid of them as soon as possible, we want the least amount of trouble versus the easiest trouble to fix, etc.

It's not the cars, it's the people.
The Ford Transit Connects made in Europe and are sent to the US with seats in them. In the US, the seats are removed and then sent back to Europe, presumably to be installed in new Transit Connects.

This is also to avoid taxes.
I find it fascinating that there is so much hand-wringing in the library world about challenges to books that a small part of the public finds offensive. Claims of obscenity, etc. that libraries then celebrate during Banned Books Week. Yet, this site shows just how willing librarians are to throw out books they personally find offensive. They are in charge of the collections, I get it, and it's not that big of a deal, but it's an interesting tension. Part of me wishes librarians would be just a bit more neutral in proclaiming what is definitively offensive or not.

For example, this is from the entry for the 1957 book "Rocket Power and Space Flight".

"The author talks to the “fellows” who wrote him letters and uses the pronoun “he” and “him” throughout the book. Reason #1 to weed it."

Sure, this is an old book and would probably get weeded anyway. But why make such a big deal about community members objecting to material when you yourself object to so much material?
Well Russia has about 6000 nukes so they could definitely afford to hit every major metro area in the west potentially dozens of times. Unless you live hundreds of miles from the nearest town I’d think it’s safe to assume you’d be dead, if not from a detonation from the onset radiation and / or climate catastrophe following the nuclear fallout
We really need a 'Bash: The Good Parts' book like Doug Crockford did for Javascript. IMHO bash and the shell are in a state that Javascript was ~2005--an old language/tool full of complexities but that can be sharpened and honed down to something beautiful.

IMHO writing procedural style code with lots of if, loops, etc. in the shell can quickly turn into an anti-pattern. Try to stick to simple functions that are chained together in pipelines. The only loop is typically one that processes arguments and that's it.
I have a weirder one.

I have two Google home devices, one I bought when I lived in SF and another that I bought after I moved down to the suburbs.

The one I bought when in SF is still stuck thinking it's in SF, no matter where I change the settings. So, I get SF weather, SF traffic and all that depending on which Google Home happens to answer my questions.
Free speech. Strangely that has somehow inverted in recent years. It wasn't long ago that censorship was the domain of the right who were in a panic about what's acceptable speech and actively trying to police it.
What "deal"? They are providing publicly accessible information, I'm choosing to only download a portion of it. If this is affecting their bottom-line, maybe they should rethink their business model. Not my problem.

I block ads to save myself from buying things I don't need, to save myself from being tracked over the internet, and because they are often annoying and sometimes contain malware. I see nothing wrong with this.

I'm not the one that is abusing some sort of "deal", in my opinion.
Same on the Meta statement which restricted the claim to actual combatants invading a sovereign territory.
I think they do this to force people to login to their Google account (in order to change the language setting.)
Well...did it work for you? Did you find some spot where you're going to build a house?
I'm a greybeard so I've had lots of time to try different diet+exercise programs. I was a serious cyclist for a couple decades and during that time, I tied high carb, vegetarian and the 40/30/30 diet that was trendy back in the 90s. Despite being much younger and burning a large # of calories, I still had persistent belly fat, which I attribute to the large # of carbs I inhaled on the bike. 40/30/30 worked better all around though. When I started lifting I went to .8grams of protein per LB of bodyweight and haven't felt the need to try anything else.
Only partially. I used to work for a third party diagnosis tool company, and we had direct access to information from all companies, which they had to legally give us. I still reverse engineered a lot of things because when I.didn't understand the spec seeing what their tool did made it make sense.
Regardless of the validity of that statement -- it will never be politically feasible to rewrite a large chunk of IP law on such a niche issue. If we want this to actually happen, we need to propose a solution where there are more people who support it than there are who are concerned about it. Rewriting all of IP law means you're just going to make enemies with all of the major media companies who don't have anything to do with selling hardware devices.

But, I still don't think this is an IP law issue. IP law should not be a weapon used to prevent you from repairing your devices -- but neither should anything else. If you only change IP law, companies are just going to find a different way to prevent you from mucking with their stuff.

There's a reason we call this "right to repair" and not "right to make an attempt to do hacky DRM workarounds"
So, I might be missing something, but there are a couple of no-name HDMI/USB KVMs on Amazon in your price range (i.e., https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NVKHRRT )

Some of the reviews suggest it acts as a pretty brain dead switch, which may cause problems with the OS. I know for a while I had a Windows 10 PC's monitor on a remote switch for silly reasons. I had to make sure to lock the PC before the monitor would turn off, otherwise some combination of driver/os/whatever would treat the disappearance of the monitor as a resolution change, and all my windows would get squished into 640x480. I could see KVMs like this triggering the same sort of madness.
wow i never got that impression when i listened to 2 of his books but reading that post they mention it's more in his journalistic pieces so its possible. Im not a fan of banning books, but this Dostoyevsky Society almost certainly knows his works better then me.
It’s not discoverability, it’s giving songs a chance that don’t sound appealing at first, because skipping them would be too much of a hassle. Songs can grow on you after listening to them a couple of times even if you didn’t like them initially. When using streaming services, that trajectory rarely happens unless you specifically decide to always listen to the whole album, multiple
times.
There's a lot more to reliability than just the consensus algo and implementation.
A half a kilo of CO2 per km is pretty hefty...

Edit: 1.8lbs/mile of you prefer.
"American food": burgers with fries and coke, onion rings, pepperoni or cheese pizza, anything on the McDonald's/Burger King/Wendy's menu, ribs, bbq, Taco Bell (yup, American food), cheesesteaks, milkshakes, donuts... all the stuff you can get at literally any city and town in America, which will taste exactly the same regardless of what state you're in.

Po boys? Nope, that's New Orleans cuisine. ("but... New Orleans is part of America!"). Ditto for other regional specialties.

Inventive culinary creation from top American restaurants? Good for them, but still not what people mean by "American food."

lower salary for a 4 day work week would work as well.
The UK already has power interconnects with lots of Europe, and all trading is done in a half-hourly market, so effectively a power generator in greece is competing with a power generator in scotland on price. Obviously as soon as the interconnects are full to capacity, that is no longer the case...

I think what OP means is that they want someone who is committed only to their company but part time. Freelancers juggle b/w various clients and frankly cannot produce the same level of output/commitment/results/care that committed employees can. Freelancers can decide their own schedule which may not work. Part time employees even though will work less hours, will still be employees with committed time etc. So the best option is to find employees but part time so that both sides commit to each other but the employee gets to work less and use that time for real work/life balance (hopefully not another job/gig)

My understanding is that, once you're a citizen of Israel, you have the same rights as other Israeli citizens, regardless of race or religion. Under apartheid, rights were infringed based on race.
> Not everything requires pedantic justification, especially deranged calls for dehumanization and ethnic prejudice. It is Common Sense (and legally correct) that coffee shops are not government agents just because they are registered in a particular place.

Nobody claimed that coffee shops (or fishing vessels) are "government agents". The claim was that a fishing vessel registered to Russia has "ties" to Russian government. This claim is factually true. For instance, they pay some amount of taxes to the Russian government. This also holds true for a coffee shop: a coffee shop registered to Finland pays some amount of taxes to Finnish government.
How many of those are MIRVs?
The panic always seemed like a bunch of smug people looking down on others about how "they could lose touch with reality while playing D&D." It was a condescending moral high ground they stood on where they didn't think other people could handle themselves and should be denied the opportunity to do things on their own.

You see the same attitude in a lot of "think of the children" restrictions on whatever. Even in discussions about what should be allowed on facebook, some people apparently shouldn't be allowed to be wrong on facebook.

I would like to also point out:

* We haven't caught all those satanists who were holding ritual sacrifices in the 80's

* Apparently now, repressed memories of trauma are staying repressed and we aren't uncovering them as well anymore

* We haven't caught those damn clowns in the forest who were stealing children

* Vaping apparently hasn't killed everyone who touched one

* The prius's out there seem to have stopped accelerating unintentionally
I do this.

Don't worry, they meant "before birth", when children aren't really alive. /s
A lot of SOTA models seem to be gravitating towards transformer based models. Obviously, I can't speak for the entire field, but you can just go take a look at the most popular HuggingFace repos and see what I mean. They started out focused on language, but because transformers have become so popular, they're expanding into the audio and vision domains quickly. Their library called 'transformers' is, outside of research, most peoples go to high level framework as it largely abstracts away a lot of the boilerplate that writing in pure TF, PyTorch, Jax requires.

Israel government has Arab parties in its coalition, meaning that this law is supported by Israeli Palestinians. I think this is a strong indication that the issue is not as straightforward as some people trying to paint it, indeed Israeli Palestinians themself support this measure.
Fog of war is at its thickest right now. Honestly I have no idea what to believe anymore.

I've heard about a million "Russia plans to do X false flag operation" announcements in the last couple of weeks, all of which would be largely to the detriment of Russia, both in terms of causing it damage directly, as well as by giving ample provocation to its enemies (and even its 'friends') to justify any retaliation thinkable under the sun. And then I've seen posts showing victims in certain popular photos were paid actors. At this point it would be simpler for Ukraine to promote these stories and then go do them themselves. But then again, maybe that's the narrative Russia hopes to rely on, so they're promoting these stories themselves as some sort of "double bluff"? Except, the narrative isn't really important because nobody in the west has access to it anyway, and if anything people are being told that Russia sucks and can't even do a "single bluff" properly in the first place? Unless that's a triple bluff? Who knows. This is starting to have more levels of recursion than "Inception".

It reminds me a bit of that old joke. There's an attractive woman sitting in a train cabin. Next to her is a Russian man, and opposite both of them sits an American man (arbitrary nationalities chosen for the joke). Suddenly the train goes through a dark tunnel. In the middle of the darkness, a loud "slap" is heard. As the train comes out of the tunnel, the woman is surprised to see the American in front of her holding his cheek in pain, with a visible slap-mark. The woman thinks "What probably happened was that that filthy American tried to fondle me as we went through the tunnel, and must have fondled the Russian guy instead by accident, so he slapped him". The American thinks, "That filthy Russian must have tried to fondle the poor girl from the side as we went through the tunnel, and she must have thought it was me from the front instead, and slapped me". The Russian thinks "That was awesome. I can't wait for the next tunnel!"
The past few years have shown that our infrastructure -- electricity, fuel, shipping, etc -- is more fragile than we expected. We're running on very thin margins, which is efficient!, but not very durable.

These systems should have a larger buffer for variation than what they run at now, and we should regularly exercise their flexibility. A chaos monkey for infrastructure perhaps. It will be a pain to deal with outages in normal times, but much less of a pain than being surprised by their inflexibility in the middle of some other crisis.
Also from job too. Many software shops look at the result, rather than the time spent. Might need to shuffle hours in some jurisdictions though.
You sure can. In fact, at least for my car (2018 Chevy Bolt), it's possible to find detailed instructions on how to wire up a throttle interceptor and hook it up to a Comma2 unit to add adaptive cruise control when it wasn't even available as a factory option.

I even briefly considered doing so after reading a favorable review of the Comma2's driving algorithm by Consumer Reports, but decided too much could go wrong with messing with my car's throttle wiring.
Interesting that the graph of power is split between "Renewables" and "other" which explicitly pulls nuclear out of that equation. NY has currently about 36.5% Renewables right now in their power mix. If they instead labeled it as "Fossil Fuels" and "Non-Fossil Power", the "Non-Fossil" Power production would be 54.3%!

Also, I love how constant that Nuclear line is across the generation graph.
Maybe that explains why the convoy has been parked in the open space for 2 weeks? They thought they were outside of Moscow?
I'm willing to pay for it sure, but I'm very worried about actually replacing it.. The force on that thing makes me feel like I'm unleashing a dragon and I have a feeling this is why they used very special screws, to avoid people messing with it.

It's also the shortest-lived Mac design ever so I wonder if this had something to do with it.

Too bad though because it was very beautiful and it had form and function, unlike current iMacs which are not height-adjustable at all.

Mötley Crüe? Soft lads.

There was an issue of Warhammer that had a flexi-disc with a thrash metal track:

"Blood for the Blood God" by Sabbat.

Which is best described as "magnificently unlistenable" [0]

I got the flexidisc to play only a couple of times, and mercifully never in the presence of my mother (who was also an RE teacher, though not the one I mention in my other comment)

About $800 IIRC. I didn't shop around at all though.
This is assuming Russia is only targeting US. Note that in an all-out nuclear warfare scenario, Europe will be inevitably involved too. I doubt Russia would want to spend all their arsenal on a single combatant, that'd essentially ensure other nuclear states such as France/UK to attack them
technically none because the count of 6000 nukes is the number of warheads not delivery vehicles.
I was going to say there aren't enough warheads to target every city because:

>[The] United States and Russia have the vast majority of nuclear weaps, with 4,804 and 4,480 warheads stockpiled respectively. There are approximately 1,861 nukes spread over the rest of the world, between China, Israel, the U.K, Pakistan, and India. France has the largest number of nukes after the U.S. and Russia. [0]

However, there are only 326 cities with over 100k population in the US. [1]

It would not be hard to list out the most valuable US locations to destroy, government, business, and military, for either the goal of preventing C&C and/or for ending the civilization.

Man, what a crap article. I'd even go as far as to use the word "clickbait" because of the unnecessary use of the word "electric", because little of the article is specific to electric vehicles. But let's dig into a few highlights...

Cars now use an ETC (electronic throttle control) managed by a computer, as is just about everything else on engines these days. Naturally, this makes vehicles more difficult to repair...

Citation needed. Might be more expensive, but swapping out the broken module the OBD reader told you to swap is probably not going to be that hard. The actual module is probably under the dash near the pedal, but that's probably the extent of the difficulty. And that's assuming that you ever need to replace it. You'll probably sell the car first. Throttle cables, OTOH...

As technology in our cars continues to advance, repairability and maintenance are becoming a real issue. Just ask any old-school mechanic

No, you go ask any old-school mechanic, because this old-school mechanic who quit professionally turning wrenches in the '90s sez "hurray!" to our electronically-controlled low-maintenance overlords. Because I'd rather not spend another evening replacing a set of ignition points so that I can get to work in the morning. We drive our vehicles until the wheels fall off, but for those that lease a vehicle for three years, my guess is you're not doing jack maintenance-wise before the lease is up (you will have to change oil on an ICE).

What happens when your fancy electric vehicle stops getting software updates.

Ooooooh, scary question! It'll be just like TFA's phone example: hackers will hack my car!!11! No, wait...I know the answer to this one because our Nissan Leaf quit getting updates when the 3G was shut off, and I've not taken it back to the dealer in several years. And the answer is...nothing happens. I mean, what's the assumed answer to what the author must think to be a rhetorical question?
