Well, the good news is that I agree with you. Looks like you misread my post and/or aren't familiar with typical USA pickup trucks.

It's not even good for groceries, for reasons anyone who has
actually bought groceries can readily fathom

Sorry, no.

Like many pickup trucks sold in America (not sure about elsewhere) the TRX has two rows of interior passenger seats and seats four people. The back seats fold away and create a large interior cargo space if desired.

Additionally, many folks with pickup trucks have tonneau covers on their cargo beds for everyday use when they're not transporting anything really big -- at that point the cargo bed is essentially a traditional car trunk/boot.

Such vehicles are popular with the significant portion of folks who "need a truck a few times a year, but want something that can be used as an everyday vehicle because they don't want to own two separate vehicles."

A Honda Civic is 20x more practical and carries 2.5x more
passengers and gets 5x better mileage.

Yeah, again, sorry. The TRX seats 4 people.

Do I wish people would drive Civics (or smaller) vehicles instead of these monster trucks? Yes.

Do I personally drive a much smaller, hybrid vehicle similar to the Civic? Yes.

Have I been working remotely for 4+ years, partly for environmental reasons, to avoid driving in the first place? Yes.

If you want to roll coal, fine, but just admit it. Let's not
pretend this vehicle is in ANY way "practical". It's just not.

I tried to be clear in my post.

I do not think anybody should be using such a monstrous vehicle for mundane everyday tasks like transporting groceries. Obivously it is overkill of the highest order and a bit of a menace.

But you certainly could use it for that. In that sense it is eminently practical.

That's what makes vehicles like this such a potential environmental nightmare. Unlike a lot of other vehicles in the "$100,000 / 1000HP" neighborhood, people might actually use this monster as an everyday driver rather than a "garage queen."

google is super annoying on this. And sometimes it is just hard to change language, especially on mobile.
It's not as contrived as you think. Some Tesla owners couldn't get into their car on the latest AWS outage because the app to unlock it stopped working and they didn't think to bring the keys, because the app always works. How long before Tesla or somebody else gets a genius idea that since nobody carries around keys anyway, why make them at all?
In randomized clinical trials, the original mRNA vaccines were just as effective as modified versions at preventing symptomatic disease and hospitalization due to SARS-CoV-2 infection
Is that really significant in any meaningful sense? A new crypto token launches every other day. Call me back when they get marketshare.
Not exactly sure, but I think the original version of the covid vaccine has been good enough for the mutations and there has not been need for modified version.
The planet will be doing just fine after you are dead and gone.

Isn't this javascript but without web tech? That doesn't really stray too far from native anyways.
Dengue is the worst. I got hemorrhagic dengue last year and it knocked me on my ass for good.

I’m thankful I had access to good healthcare, otherwise I wouldn’t have had good luck with it.

I also had Chikungunya virus once when I was little. Not fun. We need to eradicate these diseases for good.

Saying "US jets will directly attack and destroy Russian SAM missile batteries several hundred kilometers within Russian soil" gets the picture across better.
To be fair, shouldn't the Intel 12th gen laptop processors be compared to these upcoming AMD models?:

AMD Ryzen 5 6600U

AMD Ryzen 7 6800U

Both are Zen 3+ with RDNA 2.

For laptops, add upcoming HP Elitebook 8xx G9 series (has Intel and AMD) to your list to check out. No idea whether it's good.
> However, there are only 326 cities with over 100k population in the US. [1]

Only using an definition of "city" that's based on arbitrary political boundaries:

> This list refers only to the population of individual municipalities within their defined limits; the populations of other municipalities considered suburbs of a central city are listed separately, and unincorporated areas within urban agglomerations are not included. Therefore, a different ranking is evident when considering U.S. metropolitan area populations.

Metropolitan statistical areas are probably the right thing to count, and there are 358 of those over 100k (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_statistical_area) in the US. Since US urban areas are pretty sprawling, you'd probably need multiple strikes to fully destroy most of the large ones.

When I way playing with nukemap, it looked like with a single air-burst bomb aimed the the urban core, the destruction of wooden buildings wouldn't even make it to the inner-ring suburbs.
If I understand this correctly, this is saying that instead of representing the approximated function as a purely numerical operation (e.g. just a bunch of linear algebra), it can be represented as a program which contains a mixture of typical symbolic syntax and numerical operations.

One of the benefits mentioned is better accessibility for existing analysis tools. If I understand the concept correctly, could this also make it easier to implement the approximated functions in environments that lack efficient numerical algorithms and data structures? These two are usually only found in technical computing languages (e.g. FORTRAN, Julia, etc.), or as libraries for a handful of general-purpose languages (e.g. Numpy, Numba, etc.)

The thinking is that when something says it's an adblocker, it has one job - blocking ads. ABP doesn't do that, hiding behind the euphemism 'acceptable ads'. It would be ok if they promote it as a 'selective blocker' instead of 'adblocker'. It would also be ok if they say adblocker and the acc. ads thingy is opt-in. If Mozilla did something to highlight something that had one job to do and did it, I'm thankful.

P.S: Ublock Origin is not just an adblocker. It can block various types of content.
Ah, the Huawei strategy.

My cynical take: New versions of the mRNA vaccine were unable to change the first two vaccine's "original antigenic sin".
I suggest listening to Peter Zeihan. Americans have stopped caring about the world order, this is the consequence of that.
My favorite hobby is is inhaling O2 and exhaling CO2.
We sequenced covid 19 on January 11, 2020. Within 2 days, we have a vaccine. It took 2 months (March 2020) to get that vaccine into humans, and almost an entire year (December 2020) to get an emergency use authorization to use it outside of clinical trials.

Updated vaccines are being looked into, but the original ones still work well enough that there is not the push to expedite the process we saw with the original one. With the virus slowing down to herd immunity, it is likely we won't see another such a push for this pandemic.
Japan has a strong culture of pacifism too. What happened 80 years ago doesn't change the facts on the ground, today.

Kinda shitty to hold that legacy over the heads of an entire people. You're not really making a good case for your supposed moral superiority.

It's not science denial. Biology has all sorts of instances of more than two sexes. Humans have at least a dozen different genetic configurations that affect their sex organs and hormonal development in a visible way.

Here's a diagram of a few: https://i.redd.it/s44am9nqwes11.png

And that's just a narrow view of sexes through the lens of biology. Social science, anthropology, neurology, medicine, psychology, endocrinology and basically every other science that interfaces with human bodies generally agrees that sex is not binary in humans.

Once you've updated your understanding of what the science says on sex, come back and we can talk about gender, and how science agrees that gender is not only not a binary concept, it's purely a social concept.

I don't have a main. No risk of retaliation. Just a topic I'm informed on and it drives me up the wall to have people claim "reason" and "science" and then ignore the fact that science and reason widely agree with the idea that gender and sex aren't binary.
The misguided notion that the entire SEAL world works entirely 100% free of any relationship to anything done sitting at a computer is... well, interesting to say the least!

> Japan’s strong culture of morality.

Do sociologists yet understand why some cultures are strong in morality yet some aren’t? Surely if we understood the forces that drive macro behavior we could duplicate desirable attributes like high morality in other cultures. I would really like it if we had this high level of morality in America.
you can put a wallet with a id in any mailbox and the post office will mail it to that id. but yes i don’t think a police station would try to identify a wallet owner from just a name if it was not carrying a material about of cash. most people will cancel their cards in a day or so, identifying an owner has very low impact vs the effort
From the article I read[1], the nuance was along the line of this -- a person who was previously exposed to the original COVID vaccine or the virus itself (and had an immune response) getting the updated version of the vaccine ends up having the immune response for the _original_ antigen[2], rather than the new one.

Since the immune response is for the older versions of the virus, getting the updated vaccine still ends up having the same effectiveness of the original vaccine.

> democracy is fragile and doesn't work for long-term (more than a 4/5 years mandate) planning

Which is moot, because the USSR planning model also had 5 year plans. Also some European democracies are run by a coalition. See for example the Nederlands and also Germany to a lower degree. It's less efficient in case of armed conflict, but most people are represented in times of peace.
Without the initial covid urgency there is an insane red tape beurocracy on new vaccines. It takes 7 years for the average vaccine to be approved and its 90% avoidable busywork.
A search engine should return what I'm searching.

If I type "the daily stormer" (a very unique name which corresponds to something very specific, i.e. the website for the far-right online newspaper by that name), I expect to find that thing in the first 5 results. That's not the case with Google; it's just not there at all. You have articles from other papers talking about it, you've got a wikipedia page talking about it, you've got sites like the ADL and the SPLC talking about it, but not the actual thing itself. Bing, Yahoo, Yandex all return it as the first result.
While it is easy to modify, it still takes time to test the modified vaccine. The vaccines were designed to target the spike protein which is shaped to allow it to enter human cells. If that protein evolved too much to evade the vaccine, it would also become less effective in entering human cells.

In the future they might prepare a wide number of vaccines targeting common coronavirus ahead of time so there can be quick response when an outbreak appears.
Outside many establishments in Japan you will find an umbrella rack full of nearly identical translucent white umbrellas (the style sold for a few hundred yen at any convenience store). Many of these have been inadvertently left behind, the rain having stopped while the owner was inside.

Once I found myself in the reverse situation, sitting in a friend's bar when a downpour started. I asked him if I could take one of the abandoned umbrellas to get home, but he refused, saying they belong to his customers. He agreed that no one would ever come back to claim one, laughing at the absurdity of it, but he couldn't risk being discovered as the bartender who abetted the theft of a misplaced umbrella.
Twitter, more likely.
Not a particularly good article so some things that y'all might find interesting:

"Honor" and "a sense of responsibility" explains very little and good, widely distributed Schelling points (koban and, to a lesser extent, commercial/transit centers information/etc desks) that both do the right thing for lost/found items and are widely believed to do the right thing explains most of it.

You are legally entitled to a reward of up to 25% of the lost property's value in Japan. Almost everyone waives it; you'll be asked about it when filling out the paperwork. In my limited experience (five times?) they do try to avoid influencing you either way with the wording, and don't say "Everyone waives this." This does come up occasionally with regards to cash hordes.

Foreigners interacting with this system are, unfortunately, frequently seen as a burden by the cops ("Can't even fill out their own forms grumblegrumble") and brushed off unless someone in the koban decides either to be a go-getter or that this particular foreigner is likely socially established. In some cases the form of the brushoff takes the form of an impromptu Japanese test ("What do you want me to do with that?") where knowing that the magic words ("I would like to file a lost property report." / "紛失物届けを提出したいです”) is treated as being suddenly worthy of prompt service.

This can be heavily YMMV based on the individual cop, the station/koban, and (regrettably) "How likely people who look like you are to be a frequent source of aggravation for cops in this neighborhood?"
You sound like a 'radio' person and I'm a 'record' person.

I don't want to have thousands of different songs floating through my ears. If I'm in the mood for something new, I'll get a recommendation from a friend or an online service, listen to a couple tracks then decide if I should invest more time in the band or just forget about them. Interestingly after a few streams of albums it on Bandcamp, they nag you to buy and it's usually about the time where "yeah, you know, I probably should add this to the collection". Unless finding new music, I always listen by whole albums as the bands decided was best to listen to the tracks, not individual songs--so the numbers you bring up just aren't something I care about. Whole albums are cheaper and if only one track is good on an album, that band not really something I'm interested in.
So this article is trying to present dim lenses as a feature but it's actually something you can't avoid, right? That was the problem with this tech wasn't it? Also the photo half way down with the guy in the awful googles and mask combo with the bombed-out looking buildings in the background is getting pretty close to a 90s cyber-dystopia aesthetic.
Rules and regulations make things difficult. It is even more difficult to people that operate on different ones on a regular basis but never read the rules.
A lot of Dutch people often visit Germany. Driving in Germany is considered fun by most because they do not have a speed limit. Since we have a speed limit (nation wide) of 100 km/h people sometimes even go to Germany just to hear they engines roar. All of them do not realise that going over the Dutch speed limit in a different country means you Dutch insurance will not pay out when you have an accident.

This isn't true. No RCTs have ever been performed on the original vaccines and the subsequent variants. And to the extent that other kinds of experiments (retrospective cohort studies, etc.) have been done, they've almost universally found diminished effectiveness against mild illness.

Effectiveness of the original vaccines against Omicron infection, in particular, is essentially zero after a few months:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.20.21267966v...

It should be noted that the vaccines appear to remain highly effective against severe illness, even without boosting. The mRNA vaccines, in particular, seem to raise a robust, long-lasting cellular immune response, even though antibody levels rapidly fall. One of the downsides of the unusually rapid approval process for the Covid vaccine was that it was impossible to see this pattern in a randomized trial that lasted only a few months. This led "experts" -- people who really should have known better -- to oversell the shots as a form of sterilizing immunity. They are not.

There are good reasons vaccines take a long time to develop.

Would you be uncomfortable with your school teaching that we should respect redheads, even though they aren't common?

Red hair is about 1 to 2 percent of humans. This is roughly the estimate for trans and non binary folks.

Pretty monstrous to teach kids anything other than "respect your neighbor", especially if they are very likely to encounter trans and non binary people.

Ignoring the existence of non binary folks doesn't make them not exist, any more than ignoring red heads does.
That's the best synopsis of the Russo-Ukrainian War I've read so far. Not that that surprises me; Soros founded the OSF to prevent this kind of degradation.
No idea really but maybe there are specific proteins in the virus that are responsible for this behavior that could be omitted from the vaccine while still finding an effective surface feature to work against?

> The challenge is not creating a vaccine that stimulates an immune response, the challenge is avoiding a response that makes things worse.

Agreed. This is probably always true, there’s just more concrete evidence of this potential outcome with dengue.
> Yet after so many mutations of covid, all we have is still the original version of covid mRNA vaccine. Why?

Think of COVID as a human being. The mRNA vaccine teaches your immune system to recognize and destroy hands instead of a whole person. As a result your immune system can detect all shapes and sizes of people as long as they have hands. It is possible for the virus to mutate to use claws instead of hands, but then it isn't as effective at grabbing cells to infect them.
I wonder if Facebook would be equally lenient to, say, Palestinians calling for violence against Israeli soldiers; or Houthis calling for violence against Saudi Arabian ones.
We're injecting people with rna that induces viral fragment production in human cells. And typically these proteins tend to be inflammatory, they have to be to stimulate the immune system, no?

It won't surprise me to hear down the line that something subtle went wrong in a sizeable proportion of injectees, and that maybe we rushed into this without taking the time to gather longer term data. Think long term immune disorders, which are difficult to diagnose, especially early on.

It wouldn't exactly be the first time we've screwed up.
and even worse in the scenario where the associated wifi clients are kind of far away and at a weak signal (like -77), so they're using more air time for more rudimentary modulation vs. the devices in your house that are using at least 64QAM. there's only a finite amount of airtime in a half duplex system...
Because there is no need for an updated vaccine. The original vaccine (especially with a booster 6 months after the second dose) is extremely effective at preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death for all variants of SARS-CoV-2. (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Omicron, etc)

Yes. MusicBrainz is the umbrella project. ListenBrainz is for "scrobbles" (is the name trademarked?) similar to Last.fm and Libre.fm. Because it's an open source and open data project, the broader community can build tools with the data rather than having it hoarded by a corporation to try to sell the data back to users.
I don't own a car so can't stick my head under the driver's seat to verify, but it seemed like many recent cars has:

- Reporting features for brake, gas, steering inputs, a la SNMP

- Computer assisted brake, with a backup linkage

- Fully electronic gas pedal, with a speed sensing cruise control

- Electric/electronic power steering, using a torque/relative deflection sensor

These features are case-by-case:

- Command based "write" access for brake/gas/steering

- Absolute steering position sensor

So a lot of older cars require special spliced cables to fake analog readouts or nonstandard digital links to retrofit a self drive, and newer cars still needs to be purchased with those input features enabled as well.
