At that time GM owned Saab and a large stake in Subaru, that's why Saab was selling a rebadged Impreza. When Saab inevitably went out of business, GM dealers had to do the recalls and warranty work on these cars.

But there must be cameras recording number plates for toll collection (for people who don't have the transponder). Could the police subpoena that data for law enformcement purposes?
> Stalin foreign policy (not unlike Chamberlains) was to pull Germany to his side

Sort of. Prior to 1933 was the Third Period where the Comintern was antagonistic in Germany even to socialists ("social fascists"). From 1934 to the end of 1938 the USSR was looking for a self-defense pact with France, or the UK, neither country of which was interested (Blum in France was not for complex reasons). In 1939 the USSR and Germany signed a peace treaty, which Germany would break within two years, but it gave the Soviet Union enough time to prepare for invasion. Also Germany having a western front helped the Soviet Union.

Stalin was initially unsupportive of Lenin's plan for a socialist government in Russia in 1917. Then again, neither were most Bolsheviks. Lenin did not have global goals with himself at the center, and Stalin's goals were even more modest. Of course they made the most of whatever foreign good will they had.
Audi makes the A6 Allroad (also A4), and Mercedes has the E-class All Terrain. Others have mentioned Volvo as well. The RS6 Avant would be the supercar version I suppose.

Based on at least the Allroad's numbers shipped since 2020, I think it's uncertain if they last in the US market. Hopefully that improves with time and supply chain issues resolving.
Scenes from the 2022 Winter Paralympics
Bit melodramatic. I mean if NATO really roared how long would Russia last? The nukes are a tricky problem admittedly, MAD sort of holds true. But I guess when you are trying to sell products a bit of fear-mongering never goes awry.
The alternative that does work is simple -- don't do crypto until the extreme carbon emissions are handled to a reasonable degree. It is clear that is not the case now. The end goal is vague but with due diligence you can keep mining crypto and the environment can keep at least some of its richness.
Can you elaborate on what “scroll performance” means? The only time I’ve had trouble with scrolling when I’m reading something on my phone is when an app or website thinks they know how to scroll better than the OS does.
Thanks! I definitely had that realization too when I first downloaded the app, and it's been a not uncommon experience.
Shameless plug. If someone interested in seeing actual commercial game using Godot you can check out the demo and add Dwarven Skykeep to wishlist:

I addressed this in the answer to Chris, but I think the secret is really that they’ve invested a lot in resources in a way other platforms have not, and those resources are probably useful to non-Substackers as well.

Ghost is a good platform. I don’t use it these days, but I’m a bit of a maverick—case in point, I used Ghost to build my newsletter before it had any newsletter functionality! (I currently use Craft CMS, which has a dedicated view that can spit out a completed newsletter template, with custom ads, in a matter of seconds.)
It strikes me that the fed is playing two games. One game is the public facing game, where they pretend to be all concerned about inflation and Powell virtue signals about how he is so dedicated to bringing it under control, yada yada. And then there's the private game, where the Fed isn't quite as independent from the USG as it would like you to believe, and it knows that inflating away the USD denominated debt would be a great boon to the USG even if it hurts regular civilians.

The jury's still out, and it's possible that Powell really does take the kinds of measures necessary to curb inflation. But if they decide to delay the rate rises due to this Russia stuff, then it would just be so obvious to me that they are looking for some excuse, any excuse, to keep on inflating.
Or maybe you'll escape enforcement until they deprecate the current system and mandate the new-style transponder as part of your next vehicle registration renewal.

In general, there is little upside to being an early adopter of systems your creditors seem excited about — for examples, see: smart meters, EzPass lanes, facial recognition for taxpayer identity verification, etc. I prefer to stick with existing systems as long as possible...
"Long Covid" is mainly just hypochondria. A lot less of it is real than the hype would have you believe. The media loves spooky stuff because it generates clicks.

Hypochondriacs are a thing: they are out there. Some of them have gotten Covid-19, and that of course turns into their new obsession.
That’s true. It’s a cost/benefit, risk/reward calculation that everyone needs to make.
As I started to try to track down government sources of Covid data a couple years ago, I soon discovered this approach was generally much more efficient than consulting any official documentation.
There are a few reasons I can think of. I'll be upfront about the iffiest of them. I philosophically don't like the notion of digital scarcity. I've blogged about it [1] before, but in short, capitalism is a pretty good system for dealing with scarcity in the physical world, but like any system, it doesn't work well for everyone. Cryptocurrencies can allow those who have been failed by the existing capitalist system to improve or worsen their situation, but they do so by introducing digital scarcity, which doesn't make more sense. Increasing the number of capitalistic systems on the Internet reinforces the capitalistic systems in the physical world, and I believe the flaws of capitalism can't be solved by more capitalism in the long term.

Secondly, renewables have been falling in price long before cryptocurrency mining picked up. The economics of renewables don't need the help.

But more realistically, as I alluded to upthread, blockchains don't only run on renewable spikes. Even if they ran on 100% renewables, that would mean solar panels, dams, and wind/wave farms would be rolled out specifically for mining. There's also the mining rigs that are constructed. That equals rare earth mineral mining, manufacturing, and transportation of resources for the sole purpose of cryptocurrency mining, and those actions all have environmental consequences.

When those consequences are in furtherance of something that I think is a net negative for society, I'd rather have the resources used for something else.

I kinda doubt the US govt cares about DDG.

Also, the US/UK gov is not an entirely unreasonable starting point for a list. There are also lots of academic researchers, media, etc. Better to apply some standards than none at all. I'm sure whatever list they have is not perfect, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have one.
This dynamic is true of places like Reddit too, or any forum with a global audience. But I can't think of any subreddit I've ever observed such weird downvote patterns on.
Headline has been editorialized, original is:

"Facebook temporarily allows posts on Ukraine war calling for violence against invading Russians or Putin's death"

The lead paragraph goes on to say:

> Meta Platforms (FB.O) will allow Facebook and Instagram users in some countries to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in the context of the Ukraine invasion

(emphasis mine)

And Meta stated in the article that:

> We still won't allow credible calls for violence against Russian civilians,

I'm not saying I agree or disagree but the title should be corrected as this nuance is important, as it indicates generic calls for violence against any and all Russians is still not acceptable.
Most tech services companies optimize for the median: they don't want low performers (low quality work), but they also don't want high performers (v expensive). They're built to provide good-but-not-great services.

There are about 3-5 metro areas in the US where a substantial portion of the population doesn't drive day-to-day by choice (NYC, Chicago, Philadelphia, maybe DC and Boston). I have heard "Do you drive?" asked in those places. Everywhere else, it's "what do you drive?" and "what kind of car are you thinking about paying a bank to buy for you?".
Ah yes, how could this fail you ask?

A friend of mine would use the carpool lanes on the 520 bridge in Seattle, where there's a pretty strictly enforced 3+ carpool lane (so that the bus can jump the traffic), she would routinely get pulled over for not having enough people in her car.

Once the cop looks back at the driver though, they realize there's two babies in car seats in the back. Happened to her all the time.
Right, and that's the thing. The general rule of thumb is that if you aren't going faster than the traffic in the lane to your right, you should move to the right, and keep moving to the right until the traffic to the right of you is slower.

Speed limits aren't really important to this particular discussion. In the US, at least, they're set mostly based on observed traffic (85th percentile, even, I believe), and not based on any real assessment of what's safe. And there are also political and funding issues at play (consider in the 1970s there was a 55mph federal max speed limit law that was intended to increase fuel efficiency in order to lower dependence on foreign oil).

I consider speed limits to be more suggestions; what matters most is that you keep up with traffic and stick to the lane that most closely matches your desired speed. If you're uncomfortable with the speed necessary to keep up with even the rightmost lane, you probably shouldn't be driving on that road anyway.
This seems to suggest differently. https://www.azmirror.com/2019/07/08/arizona-police-agencies-...

Seems the US has many more installed in police cars (which is rare in the UK) vs stationary ones, in general.
This is a great executive order that is either completely benign or completely awesome and validating for crypto, a "watershed" moment like the one the commercial internet from the US government received in the 1990s

On its own it does nothing but set an aspirational focus for otherwise autonomous Federal agencies, with no specific rulemaking or new change to the regulatory landscape. But it does send the message for all the sectors to stop pretending like its not a thing, when you look at how even Federal Reserve employees were trading crypto while publicly denigrating the concept, and how there is a gullible audience that believed the negative messaging. This message from the very top alters that, and sets the path for a more holistic approach to fostering this technology, even the wild west capital formation on public blockchains.
Well sure, describing downvote patterns as weird doesn't mean that the majority of downvotes are bizarre. The bulk are completely comprehensible. But I can't think of anywhere else where I see as many completely reasonable comments heavily downvoted for incomprehensible reasons.

Nietzsche was also contemptuous of anti-Semitism. Like Machiavelli, his ideas and motivations were misunderstood and reduced to caricatures in the popular mind. It did not help that Elizabeth Nietzsche, his sister who survived him, was a fanatical supporter of Hitler, who edited his books to make them appear supportive of National Socialist ideology. For this reason, the older editions of Nietzsche's works available free online from such sites as Project Gutenberg are worthless.
Unfortunately it's hard data and not silly logic. I get the complaint, "we'll make roads worse to get cars to use them less". If it takes 1 minute to drive to the grocery store but 15 minutes to walk, nobody is ever going to walk. If it takes 15 minutes to drive and 15 minutes to walk, though, people will start walking.

The problem with adding lanes to roads is not that people want you to work out instead of sitting in your car. Nobody really cares. The problems is that it doesn't scale, there isn't space to add enough lanes to get everyone into a car. Additional lanes come at the cost of making the road less suitable for walking and biking, further pushing people into their cars unnecessarily. Hence road diets; use expensive urban land for something other than holding slow-moving cars for 3 hours a day.

Car-centric suburbs were an interesting experiment that didn't work out. Unfortunately, half of America owns equity in the failed experiment, so it's going to be a rough couple decades while we adjust to something more sustainable. (Self-driving electric cars aren't going to save them.)
I'm willing to believe that.

At the same time here in New Zealand long journeys are 99% on two lane roads, with lots of corners and hills. Not sure how useful cruise control is for that.

I withhold my own opinion, because I'm not an expert. Instead I can give you a link to another non-expert, Scott Alexander[1]. I like how he puts things together.

As proven by <sys/tree.h>, the same approach can still be used to generate functions, even external, shared functions as opposed to static routines duplicated in each compilation unit. OpenBSD's <sys/tree.h>, at least, can generate both.

But list operation are so short and simple there's no benefit (especially if using the BSD approach) to generating and invoking functions. It just adds complexity.

If I had to guess, and based on memory (I first learned C programming by reading Linux and GNU project code), things ended up the way they are because like many early C projects Linux took the road of writing subsystem-specific list implementations using C function interfaces. Over time these interfaces were incrementally unified and improved, the quasi-generic implementations made more type-safe using the container_of and related constructs.

<sys/queue.h> seems to have been the product of a seasoned kernel hacker who took the opportunities provided by the huge 4.4BSD refactor to create and push a single, unified approach to be used across the kernel.
The bot takes the median hourly pay for women and compares it to the median hourly pay for men

I don't think this bot is "attacking" brands. It's simply posting facts about gender pay disparity. A few of the brands the bot retweeted show a gap in favour of women

Perhaps our sense of what an "economically valued career" is is already skewed by our history of gender differences. Perhaps what men consider to be economically valuable has been prioritised for the last few centuries because men have typically been in power, leading to today's system of rewarding people economically for choosing careers which are deemed valuable by men?
North Korea started with the "better" part of Korea by most measures, having far more natural resources than the southern portion of the peninsula as well as more arable land. All things being equal, they "ought" to be the richer country.

So were you going through life wearing a mask to mitigate the risk of a deadly flu in 2018 and before? I think probably not, but if your priority is risk mitigation, shouldn't you have been?

Risk mitigation is not my priority. If it were, I'd never ride my bike again, even with my helmet. I'd never go kayaking, or rock climbing. I wouldn't swim in lakes, and you'd never catch me in the ocean. If I were preparing for the worst, I'd go everywhere with a tourniquet in my back pocket, keep a few thousand dollars cash in my shoe, and get myself vaccinated for rabies right now. I have no intent to do any of these things, because such fretting every possibility is no way to live.
