Sprawl patterns are not caused by natural market forces.

They are caused and enabled by land-use zoning that uses state force to limit the use of private property, along with massive market distortions like government-funded freeways and the building of low-density infrastructure without a sustainable mechanism to pay for maintenance and operation of that infrastructure.

But I'm also not a free-market absolutist and I'm not sure I believe there has ever been an unencumbered free market. Markets are just a mechanism to organize and manage a complex system. There are always forces in place which nudge the overall behavior in one way or another while still leaving the market interactions to hash out the details. That's fine - we just need to nudge things is the "right" direction.
That is a rather large caveat..."if we avoid a major catastrophe", have you looked around the world?
I was not thinking it was a technological challenge, I was more concerned about how useless governments in general are at regulating stuff that happens in the sea. There's no civil arm of the government that runs around in boats inspecting and certifying stuff.
I'm very skeptical that an Australian in a foreign residential compound was decapitated for that. I can't find anything with Google. Isn't alcohol allowed for foreigners in those places? Do you know anymore that you can tell us?

How does the .exe keep its valid digital signature if the hash of the .exe is modified for each person?

Would someone have documentation about which bytes we can modify in a code-signed .exe without making the digital signature invalid?

In the case it's not possible, does this mean Mozilla generates a new .exe on the fly + codesigns the .exe on the fly for each new download?
Looks like immigration status is protected. I wonder if a plaintiff could win a case on the grounds that they were discriminated against because they weren't on a temporary visa.

As a former lawyer, I realize it's possible to make the argument, but it's probably clear from the legislative history of the law that it's meant to protect people who are on visas, not people who aren't.

Also, she would probably say that her rule is that she only rents to people who have an extremely compelling reason to leave after 1-2 years. Compelling reasons include time-limited positions (postdocs) or visa restrictions.
What do you mean by traditional humanities? If you mean literature and skills like scripting out plots for characters and artful language in prose/poetry, then sure, it's not essential to business writing. However, if you're talking about essay writing, persuasive writing, clear language, laying out complex arguments, etc. then it's very, very relevant to business writing. Both categories are part of traditional humanities.

Getting to the point on nuanced issues like strategy or design is actually quite difficult because you have to both understand your point well enough to distill it and you have to be good at putting the words down. I'd argue that the "understanding" part is harder because, from my personal experience, someone who is thinking clearly and just not fluent in English still organizes the writing clearly, but someone who isn't thinking clearly will produce great syntax but the reasoning is hard to follow.

I see much more of the latter than the former in my day to day.
Fair enough, I stand corrected. Still, I wanted to point out that it's a company, not a government agency. Publicly traded or private doesn't change my point.
> Diesel motors generate a substantial amount of fine particulate that is unhealthy for anybody, and particularly unhealthy for children.

This is one of the biggest issues with US' private healthcare system.

The U.S. government just doesn't feel that direct "cost" in the same way countries that have to pay to fix the health of their citizens do. This is why you see a lot of other countries put higher taxes on sugar, gasoline, diesel, etc. Because they see a direct correlation between the consumption of those things and them having to invest more in their national healthcare system out of their tax money.

Meanwhile, in the US, since it's the citizens that pay out of pocket, that money still goes into the economy, so it's kind of all the same to the government whether or not they get sick or not. They may notice some correlation in the long-term, but the negative effects of these things are not nearly as urgent to the government.
Inflation causes a rise yes but profits have been going up even faster.

That cheap labour isn’t so cheap anymore either, all those Eastern sweatshops are starting to compete for workers, driving wages up
> I do not understand this thirst at seeing a private company monopolising space travel.

I don't think the poster your replying to is saying that, nor do I think the market is headed in that direction. Currently, SpaceX has the only crew certified transport aside from Russia's Soyuz capsule for transport to ISS. That is likely to change in the next two years as Blue Origin continue their certification process and NASA's SLS gets closer to launch (whether or not SLS is a good decision is a totally separate conversation). The more options, the better.

> I reckon I'm one of the few on this forum that doesn't hold SpaceX stock.

I reckon there are only a few that do actually hold SpaceX stock, given the fact they are a private company with limited investment opportunities for the common person.

'Out of the roughly 500,000 school buses in the U.S., only about 0.2 percent — just over 1,000 — were electric as of the end of 2021'

I can see EV buses being practical for future urban short distance pickup and drop off, but the longer haul rural routes, especially in cold climates, seem a long way off to the EV obsessed as a solution to anything. Huge subsidies and grants may seduce a few school boards but the reality is diesel loads replaced by EV are no where near ready for prime time.

What could immediately help the local pollution aspects of EV heavy vehicles is some sort of tire particulate collection device to stop spread. Tire pollution is a huge problem that is probably more important than where energy is obtained from near or far

Not driving would mean smaller schools closer to home, and infrastructure that allows kids to ride their bike to school. It's completely doable, but it does require people to care about more than just cars.
My RSI (though there are confounding variables) disappeared after about 4 months using it. Few notes:

- Focusing heavy customization around the key cluster module very much helps with rare occasions I have to use laptop keyboards of mine.

- With trackpoint module, I whip out the mouse so rarely it's in a drawer.

- There are minor mechanical defects that don't affect functionality very much (or at all). Its build quality is oversold, but I don't mind. You will have to buy spare parts some day though.

I’m wondering if we’re going to end up seeing SpaceX bringing down the ISS cosmonauts into neutral territory by the end of this debacle.
> My understanding is that "virtue signaling" implies that the primary goal is performative with minimal personal risk and minimal commitment to productive action.

And it's based on the flawed assumption that stating public support for something without doing anything else is useless.

But people moderate their behaviour based on perceived social norms.

When people publicly state their support for a given issue, they are communicating what they understand social norms to be.

When a lot of people do that, that becomes the norm.

So "virtue signalling" could just as easily be labelled "showing support", which is the way that we share and align on those norms.

But, of course, folks who don't like people voicing their support for those values, for fear that they will become normalized, needed to find a label to apply to insult those people and, hopefully, stop people from voicing their support for these social movements.

And thus the term "virtue signalling" was born. Suddenly saying out loud what you believe becomes itself a social moray.

Now flying a pride flag, or calling for increased diversity in the workplace, has become "virtue signalling" and something to be embarrassed about.

It's quite clever as a means of controlling the narrative. And it appears a shocking number of people have bought into the BS.
Just as an interesting note, our school district has switched the entire fleet (around 150) to CNG. This has supposedly reduced opex substantially over diesel. Also a huge reduction in particulates. Probably not as clean as EV but an improvement . Our district owns all their vehicles, but I believe this is not common.
LOL government bad. Taxes, amiright? Guys? Guys?
ADA policy generally isn't being set by the people who allocate funds. Someone deciding what policies will enable accessibility for the blind almost certainly has no control over whether a conservative lawmaker will decide to actually fund the local agencies responsible for accessibility. So again, what policy do you suggest to address this? This is not a problem with the accessibility policy, it's a problem with the way the agencies responsible for compliance are run and funded. The ADA could close up shop and the underlying funding and compliance problems would not go away, they would just cause other problems.

How would the lawmakers responsible for the ADA have magically conjured the money necessary for every agency to comply?

Pseudonymity is not a flaw. Belief it was anonymous is the flaw. You can't replace real world fiat and processes of you can't be a ledger and prove chain of value flow with some basis to identify of players. It's baked in.

The fully anonymous block chains are pretty much only for extra legal and non legal. Everyone else has tax to pay and tax demands identity tracing. Every one of the easy to use chains has AML and KYC baked into their process to get compliance.

I just skimmed over the WCAG quick reference with a focus on just the level A and level AA items. I have to agree with thorum on this one - the guidelines are specific and straightforward. For a basic order form with no audio or video on the screen, seems pretty easy to me. Yes that is an opinion, but an opinion based upon this very specific set of testable guidelines.

Impossible to say without knowing the variance (and actually the distribution in general) of the data. But it would be nice to see a trend of time between records: if temperatures are not changing, we'd see the intervals increasing (setting records from a random distribution gets rarer and rarer). But if they're constant or increasing, that's a sign temperatures must be increasing on average.

However, that said, 9 of 10 ten of the hottest years on record happened within the last 10 years[1] (or if NOAA is not trustworthy to you, all 10 of the hottest UK years on record are since 2002 [2]), which would be extremely unlikely to be random chance, even if temperatures were completely random.

It would take much deeper statistical analysis then I can do to tell you the sigmas of those events, though.

As much flak as people give "the government" for poor spending, there's actually a huge amount of auditing and checks in place for purchases by officials.

There's no way a decision like this gets made without a several "independent assessments" happening as a CYA move.
Would you have documentation about this? Where can random bytes be added to a signed exe without invalidating the sig?
Thankfully, this PDF is nowhere near complete. Check it out from your local library.
Ukraine would be in substantially better straits if NATO told upfront everyone (including Ukraine and Russia) the Ukraine will not be part of NATO. The biggest country in NATO does not want to enforce no-fly zone and does not want to give planes to Ukraine. When will Ukraine wise up that they will never be part of NATO? US is bleeding Russia as much as possible, Ukrainian suffering be damned. (Putin fell head-first into the biggest geo-political trap in the last 30 years. Similar in size with Vietnam and Afganistan traps).
Can you give an example of what you mean - a scenario where WCAG guidelines are too ambiguous?

The problem with the Polish jets was apparently that they planned to fuel and load them from a German airbase. It wouldn't really matter that the planes only were flown by Ukraine pilots. The German airbase would still be a legitime military target.

And then NATO would have to respond when cruise missiles started flying into some of their member states.
The UI is amazing. Don't change it significantly!
Okay. I certainly hope not. There's limited impact that the ordinary Russian citizen can have I believe on their own government. So it seems illogical to knowingly harm, primarily, an impotent underclass. That seems like unwise strategy. To be clear I'm still a supporter of the sanctions as I understand them impacting the upper class more significantly than the mass underclass.

Presuming that the goal is for Russia to stop and roll back its invasion of Ukraine, the sanctions that have Frozen basically all international currency interactions with Russia.

The node IPC rewrite, to destroy data of business systems, seems unlike anything that you and I have talked about so far in the subthread, and instead seems more like a malicious way to cripple and permanently harm users. Their data which they have entrusted with the businesses now potentially all trashed. It's certainly not like anything which my government, the US government, has publicly discussed doing against Russia in response to this invasion. It's frankly an illegal action by the node IPC owner based on my understanding of computer crimes.
Does anyone else have a problem with the phrase "war's toll"? It sounds like it's uttered by a tight-lipped posh British man talking over grainy black-and-white footage. Can we call it "Human beings choosing to just fucking outright murder innocent civilians for no fucking reason ...'s toll"? These are humans who have decided to commit war crimes and what is essentially genocide. It's not like "oh, man, war just happens, and it really sucks for the people it happens to." No, war doesn't just happen randomly -- these humans are choosing to do this. It's not "war's toll". It's murder.

The reduction in co2 emissions, not contributing to public transport overcrowding, saving on food, and the mental health benefits are just some of my reasons for avoiding on site work.

As a rule, accessibility is an afterthought in our industry. I would be more sympathetic to complaints if companies were making an effort. Even large tech companies fail miserably. This just reads like FUD.

The cupcake store can afford to install grab bars in its bathrooms; it can afford to hire a competent web designer. Wordpress, Squarespace, Shopify, etc. should all be accessible by default.

There is plenty of leeway for reasonable accomodations.

> You can go through mortgage underwriting first and commit to pay the gap between appraised value and deal value, and can make a no-contingency offer with minimum risk.

Of course, but unless the amount you commit to bridge is unbounded, you're still contingent in appraisal price. And if you did commit to that, you're just making a cash offer with extra steps.

Deposits in my experience are token (around 2%). And usually sellers will verify that you have the cash on hand for no-contingency offers, since 2% is not worth waiting and then redoing the house selling process.
