Nah, Thameslink beats any US line and it’s from 1988. Lizzie line will be better too.

Oedo line too. And Fukutoshin like.

Blackfriars is over the Thames. I don’t think there’s a US station that is as creative in use of space.

Not to speak of the overground or DLR.

I think it’s just trade offs. The US gives individual power, those other places give state power. Former excels in certain places but provides veto when you achieve steady state. So things stall here.

Notice that in things which can be done with individual power, like developers making housing developments in Texas, outcomes are good.
Depends on where you live. Where I live the teachers union supported moving to remote learning overnight and remote learning continued until halfway through this school year. In fact it is still ongoing for those students who chose to do remote learning instead of in person learning. They plan on continuing offering remote learning as an option perpetually into the future. One thing they learned during the pandemic is that there are certain students who do poorly with in person learning but they excelled with remote learning. They want to keep supporting those students who learn better with remote learning than in person learning.
I am not taking any action to prevent you from getting ivermectin. The law already prohibits it. Not enforcing laws uniformly would create a bad precedent. Such a bad precedent far outweighs whatever minute advantage you individually get from the placebo effect that you wouldn't get from some other placebo.

Everything else you talk about re: burned bridges is silly. The population causing a problem here is small. Most people got vaccinated and don't want ivermectin. I won't cave to them just like I won't cave to Q supporters or flat earthers.

You act like not giving these people ivermectin took a lot of effort or was costly. Just the opposite. It was the default no effort action of a system working properly.

QE creates inequality via asset bubble inflation (those without assets are on the losing end), there's a housing crisis because housing (and now commodities) is used as a store-of-value. The Petro-dollar system is not ESG friendly and it is coming to and end: China is no longer buying treasuries, Saudi is willing to price oil in Yuan, and the West is seizing Russian reserves. Your faith in the dollar system seems unphased by macro events.
When the price of coins skyrockets, its better to hold, but people still need to live, so they still spend money.

And the open source aspects of this are barely a footnote. The issue isn't weaponization of open source, it's weaponization of software, i.e., cyberwarfare. Debating whether or not software that engages in this still meets one specific definition of "open source" is a question that closely resembles the "Maserati Problem" in its immediate relevance when compared to the other implications of these actions. It seems very weird to observe a malware attack in this situation proceed to make the malware's status as open source software a primary issue in discussing the attack.

If someone feels the need to include it in the conversation then the appropriate ordering of the message should be more like: "unilateral escalation of the conflict by private individuals is a bad idea. Really you shouldn't be making decisions about how to handle a conflict that directly or indirectly involves half the world and multiple nuclear powers. Stick to activities that are legal when showing or giving support to the Ukrainians. And oh, yeah, I guess your code may not technically be open source anymore if you do this sort of thing."

Please point out the "half-truths."

Everything I wrote, save the last paragraph, is well-documented.

My opinion, expressed in the last paragraph, is supported by the atrocious levels of corruption in Russia and its obvious effect on the Russian military as demonstrated by everything we've seen of their performance this past month.

Also, it's really quite sick that you wish me to die a lingering, painful death. That you've expressed such a desire is perhaps something you should ponder long and hard: it isn't healthy.

> Is it that there was more growth in non union fields?

Most unionized labor in the US was outsourced during the deindustrialization of the USA.

More than 6 million manufacturing jobs were lost in the US between 2001 and 2010 (representing approximately 1/3 of all manufacturing jobs).

So yes: non union fields are growing, mostly because unionized jobs were busted by companies shipping production overseas. The jobs that "replaced" the good labor of industry are mostly poverty wage service jobs which require very little training. As there's little investment per-worker Unions have effectively 0 bargaining power: Scabbing a strike is simple when you only need 2 hours of training to do their jobs.

Funnily enough the USA manufactures more goods than ever in its history, accounting for ~6 trillion USD of our GDP in 2019.
Got any ideas for what you could do with that gas "rather than mining Bitcoin"? Believe me, if there was a way to make "better things" with it instead of flaring, they would do it. (Because doing "better things" usually implies that money can be made!)

You will always have to burn waste and unwanted gas at such facilities, because you need to stabilize pressure and flow from the well and you just cannot just capture and process all gas that comes out of it.

The majority of the burnt gas is methane anyway, and I prefer this to be burnt rather than released into the atmosphere.
I think the author does have a point though it clearly doesn't apply to everyone. 'Elitist BS' is rather strong. You take a different view but perhaps you've never studied in a part of the world where books are in short supply and one expensive copy is shared. I underlined passages in books in the past and now regret imposing my then partial view via permanent marking. Just a thought but a cataclysmic extinction event on Earth might well either destroy most electronic media or put it beyond general access. Surviving physical books might then become generally sacred once more as they are in many people's present day collections. We're rather too ready to think that the current ease with which we can check out almost any topic will be forever a permanent fixture. There are days when I doubt it.
I strongly suspect that's a very large part of what is making everything worse. Or, at least, there does seem to be a correlation in time between the implementation of ML and the degradation of the quality of results.
Copy-pasting little snippets with `"$(command)"` in them has always been a bit of annoyance. Happy to see it improving!

This is the exact statement Apple made. Do note that the words "similar performance numbers at the same power" are not in there.

However, the translation differs a bit (e.g. zombie instead of undead dragon, which actually makes more sense).
True. I totally forgot that slide film existed since they stopped making Velvia. (I use Ektar for color.)
I had this idea 25 years ago. Move to a place where it's cold, and away from the sea (Montana), and over time it will get warmer. In some respects it worked out. It did get warmer. There are far fewer < 0F days here now. More people want to move here now which has increased property prices, increasing my net worth.

However, not all is positive. Warmer springs mean much more ice on roads, making driving more dangerous, more flooding, erosion. Less snowpack means more fires and larger fires. It's becoming more difficult to get insurance. Lack of extreme cold in winter allows invasive species to survive. Insects that would have been killed by the cold now devastate trees, killing them, making fire risk even worse. Severe hailstorms are now more common, increasing the risk of damage to vehicles and buildings.

If we could only scale and therefore make this cheaper.
Better for end users depends entirely on their workloads, and is a moving target. Presumably as Apple’s new chip gets more adoption more games will be designed and optimized for it. There are already games (partly) optimized for it, so why not run those? Why is Tomb Raider more representative of an end-user workload than World of Warcraft?
Isn't it the same for Python?
Someone else can correct me, but from what I've heard, limiting the charge threshold on devices is only helpful if the device is plugged in a majority of the time. A laptop that is primarily docked will benefit from limiting the threshold. Thinkpads (and others) have had this feature for a long time.

With phones, whether it makes a difference, I'm not sure. Smartphones and batteries have become smarter to help with overcharging and extending life of the battery by slowing the charge rate when it gets to over 80% or so. I personally don't use thresholds my phone, it charges fast enough to make up for it.
That’s precisely the point I’m making. Machine’s performance is great (today…), but it is not a victory for user serviceability or upgrades, likely never will be now.

At least with other integrated SoCs such as those from AMD, you can buy and replace the SoC on a standard socket too… it’s not a given that putting everything on the same die prevents upgrades or replacements the way this design does. The SoC does not need to be permanently attached, but that’s how Apple force these machines to be close to obsolete within 5 years and then require the purchase of a whole new computer again.

Proprietary CPUs/SoCs make aftermarket upgrades difficult but not impossible - the G4 era professional machines from Apple had socketed CPUs and after market options did emerge (companies like Sonnet back in the day), despite only apple using the chip.
No way. European nations with strong unions still build much faster and more cheaply than we do.
You can actually progress until the main capital without killing a single enemy. Like 70% of the games world.

I started as a Wretch and arrived completely under leveled and without gear at the first boss, which felt nearly impossible to beat so I just started adventuring. At some point you get blocked by a barrier that requires you to defeat two main bosses. I was actually a bit disappointed about that.
Speaking about the digital interface, there's some music industry skulduggery involved with that. It goes all the way back to when the RIAA decided they were going to ratfuck Digital Audio Tape. While the labels weren't successful at outright killing consumer digital recording, they were able to kneecap it with SCMS, and they basically boycotted DAT so you couldn't buy any legal music for it.

When Minidisc came around Sony had "learned their lesson", so to speak, and just outright bought a music label. While this sounds like the player manufacturers "won" over the copyright owners; the reality is that the opposite happened. When you buy a business, you tend to inherit the business's problems; unless you specifically decide to just run that business as a subsidy for your other business units. That rarely happens[0], it's not like Sony was going to make music for free so that they could sell more players.

So when Sony decided to add a way to copy MP3s to Minidisc, they decided to kneecap it in the worst manner possible, because at that point they had become the music label that they had once fought against. The whole industry was very opposed to unencrypted music and tried to make MP3 players illegal[1]. I imagine at one point when designing NetMD, someone from the Sony Music side of the business just outright dictated to the MD engineers how the system was going to work.

Apple is an interesting case because they were very much willing to ride the wave of music piracy[2] to sell computers, but only to a point. The limit was that their portable devices weren't going to let you copy music - that's why you had to "sync" MP3s to iPods instead of just copying them to the filesystem, and the transfer was only one way[3] unless they were iTunes purchases you owned. This is probably the only reason they were even allowed to license music for the iTunes store, as the labels were otherwise demanding ridiculously consumer-hostile DRM systems nobody wanted.

[0] Counterexample: Google buying On2 and having them make all their patent-royalty-free video standards also Free Software. If they hadn't done this, we would be stuck with VP3/Ogg Theora, and MPEG-LA probably would have killed the $0 licensing rate for free Internet video on H.264.

[1] See RIAA v. Diamond. The Audio Home Recording Act that had kneecapped DAT was still in force; but the judge decided it didn't apply to MP3 players because they didn't record digital audio. This is why you don't hear about AHRA or SCMS anymore.

[2] Remember "Rip, Mix, Burn"? Or, for that matter, that one time Steve Jobs went up on stage at MacWorld and showed off a PlayStation emulator for Macs?

Yes, I know CD ripping and emulators are not piracy, but they're integral components in a piracy workflow. Apple today is the company that refuses to allow iDOS 2 or UTM, specifically citing the fact that emulators allow "content without licensing". Their words, not mine.

[3] Technically speaking you could just copy them off the iPod, but the filenames were all mangled up, and you'd have to reconstruct them from the ID3 tags.
That's where it's at...today.

We're only a year into this thing existing.

I'd be VERY surprised if the data from all the interactions with it don't result in a product people care less and less about Microsoft harvesting their data from because of the value produced in exchange.

By 2025, either these models will have hit a wall on diminishing returns and it will take a complete pivot to some other approach to continue to see notable gains, or the products will continue to have improved at compounding rates and access will have become business critical in any industry with a modicum of competition.
No, it is fun! The scientists who are looking for exceptions to the standard model and to general relativity since 50 years are having a crisis at present, as often told.

The 9 lines imply all equations of physics. Every Lagrangian of physics is included. The lines are also coherent: none contradicts another. They are complementary: the cover all observations and all fields of physics. No field of physics is left out. The lines are also correct: every calculation fits with observations withing measurement accuracy, since the standard model (with neutrino masses and PMNS mixing) and general relativity exist.
Here in Iowa we have mountain lions - maybe 100 in the whole state, but they're here. Very secretive, and a sighting is rare.

I have dozens of deer living on my property. Badgers, skunk, chipmunks. Eagle fly by regularly. Flocks of crows in the thousands will occasionally park in my orchard, then move on.
We could also argue whether it is effective or ineffective. I understand the incentive being introduced, to tip the scales in a rational decision-making process against a criminal act. However, that assumes that criminal acts are the result of a rational decision-making process, and that the possibility of punishment is high enough to enter into that process. Given the recidivism rate of the US, I don't think it is effective.

You can argue whether a punitive system that effectively provides a deterrent is right or wrong, but a punitive system that isn't effective as a deterrent cannot make the same argument.
It's not difficult to customize. IMO, it's actually easier to customize yourself than bash/zsh because I find the fish syntax much more natural than bash, but YMMV.

That said, I believe that zsh has a bigger community, and therefore most likely a richer ecosystem with more plugins. For example, oh-my-zsh has 142k stars, and oh-my-fish has 8k stars.

However, even with the rich ecosystem of plugins, I wasn't able to get my zsh to be as pleasant to use as my fish, where I only have some self-made customizations (not even using oh-my-fish).

But if having lots of plugins to choose from is important to you, zsh may be a better choice.
They offered me a free migration indeed. But this would be to a "new" server with the new pricing.
I used Tmobile while living internationally for 3 years and it worked like a charm. Data was slow but was enough for things like Google maps.

If you give in and get a UK sim, you could look into ‘parking’ your number. Some carriers offer this service. There are also some third-party ‘park your number’ services though I haven’t used them myself.
I was using a smaller exchange’s API but now I use alpaca.markets. I wrote the program in Node.js that just runs a callback function every N second interval and decides if it’s a good time to buy, sell, or do nothing.

My best advice to getting started is write your trading algorithm or decision making logic in a parameterized way so you can feed in snapshots of time for back testing. I’m sure there are frameworks out there but I literally wrote this hot garbage in a weekend with not a lot of research. I’ll probably rewrite it someday and optimize it a bit more.
MacArthur Maze repair was also under budget and before timeline because of the novel contract.

The truth is that most US infrastructure is not required. We should let many of these roads rot and many of these super projects languish in design.

Notice how CA HSR had delays because they wanted to use “first of its kind state of the art signaling system”. Why “first of its kind”? There exist like a dozen HSR builders. Just copy them. But that’s because HSR isn’t required. So we just use it as a modern WPA-style jobs tool.

"From 2009 until 2014, the paper “Legacy and Athlete Preferences at Harvard” finds, 43 percent of the Caucasian applicants accepted at Harvard University were either athletes, legacies, or the children of donors and faculty. Only about a quarter of those students would have been accepted to the school, the study concludes, without those admissions advantages."[0]

I'm reminded of the words of Malcolm X—"If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound. They won't even admit the knife is there."

Americans may have struck down de jure segregation (big applause!) but we're still de facto segregated a generation or two later. K-12 schools serving predominantly black communities have less funding, less extra-curriculars, less honors/AP courses (UCLA expects a 4.5 GPA, have fun getting one wifhout lots of advanced courses available). Don't get me started on the racial discrepancy in being able to get childcare or pay for ACT/SAT prep courses that all my white peers did in their summers.

Affirmative action is discriminatory in the sense it admits there's more to applications than your number, as much as that irks SWEs who love to reduce people to an algorithm. You can't just say "we have no black students because no qualified black students applied!". There are certainly qualified minorities, maybe the way in which you're measuring "qualified" has a racial bias? To give one example, the father of SATs and AP courses was a racist eugenicist who thought (correctly, but for the wrong reasons) standarized tests would help stop minority admissions since the 1920s were all about the idea that race and intelligence are linked. [1] Do we think that intention is totally irrelevant to the outcome of these tests? There's a reason educators don't like them! Cheaper to use scantrons than to try and assess with any nuance.

It's using free or nearly-free power to displace an equal amount of compute that would otherwise occur elsewhere, likely using grid power. That unused power can now go to a better use. So yes, in a roundabout way it is useful.
One of the most striking things about these photos is the terrible ergonomic situation. The C64 started out ergonomically-bad with its keyboard four inches above the surface, and then most of these people are using it on top of a dresser or something, with a tiny screen at a bad angle.

I had a much better setup back when I got my C64, but I still blame it for the back and vision problems I have now. It's a far cry from my current standing sit/stand desk with proper office chair and large, bracket-mounted monitor. I used to sit at a wobbly table, wrists at a terrible angle to reach the C64 keyboard, with a 17" CRT screen inches from my face. I'm surprised I didn't end up with brain cancer.
