High speed rail is much more expensive to maintain than ordinary rail. Motorways are also more expensive to maintain than normal roads, but I think the railway has more capacity than both.

The comparison for a freight railway vs. an equivalent road is obvious: private companies who need the entire capacity, like mines, build railways.

(I will leave it to someone else to find figures for high speed rail vs. an equivalent motorway.)
I mean whats wrong with collecting 79+ points of telemetry secretly through hundreds of apps? Why would I ever want to opt out or turn it off? I love clicking on a link that says I am not a robot and having Google cross reference my IRL telemetry stream with the box to prove I STILL THINK I AM HUMAN.

I recently bought a nicely designed coffee mug on Etsy... which never arrived. Tried to contact the store - no answer. I didn't go broke and go homeless, but it certainly stung. Especially since it was supposed to be a birthday present for someone.
Lotharek does some really awesome stuff.

It'd be really cool if a device like this tried to simulate the CRTs that would be connected (blur, diffusion, persistence, composite color artifacts, etc) to the vintage equipment. With that, it'd be perfect to restore old equipment where the irreplaceable CRT needs to be replaced.

I see an opportunity here. A website who wants to curate products could use Etsy to locate sellers and convince them to list on their site. That curation website could develop a "stamp of approval" brand and grow that way. The art seller could include a printed note in the delivery saying "find more products like this on this xyz site". That way you use Etsy to draw in new customers but keep them as repeat customers for other products on this curated site. The main idea being that the curated site would not have to spend nearly as much money on advertising that Etsy does. Might work.

Your laptop monitors probably use lvds/edp to interface with the motherboard. You can buy a converter to displayport for those. For your old monitors that use non-standard interfaces you should just buy a new one. Acquiring a converter will be expensive and time-consuming. You might as well just buy a new Dell ultrasharp, which is guaranteed to be much nicer.
Another tip: never enter queries directly in a production database connection with write access in the first place. (Ideally very few people even have that level of access.) Write it in your codebase, write tests for it, get it code reviewed, and run it in a dry run first and get a list of affected records before running it for real.

> The simple truth is that Russia is currently engaged in a genocidal war with the intent of erasing Ukrainian people

If that were true then Melitopol would be the first erased Ukrainian city, but we see that's not true [1]. Perhaps it's because Azov battalion didn't have a chance to position their artillery on the backyards of civilian flat blocks in that city.

> This is one of the few clear cut conflicts between unspeakable evil and a distinct people who are being eradicated real time.

No it's not, there are far fewer civilian casualties in Ukraine than in Iraq during active months of 2003 alone [2]. Neither NATO nor UN nor the western world in general identifies civilian casualties in Iraq as victims of a genocide.

Thanks for detailed feedback and walkthrough! Just to share some context, we do have thousands of customers, ranging from early stage startups to public companies.

I also agree that we should support more hierarchy when it comes to roadmap, teams and even the workspace settings, and it's something we are working on.

"The outspoken investor likened environmental, social and governance policies to the Chinese Communist Party"

Interesting choice "Chinese communist party". I mean really?

How does [ESG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental,_social_and_corp...), what on earth has that to do with the communist party. Well known for their social and corporate governance?

Thiel is a 'libertarian' on steroids. Again - that doesn't make much sense with the Trump or current GOP (it may have made more sense in the past).

He must be okay with some serious cognitive dissonance.
This would map to a sort of semi-supervised approach. For a lot of problems this has shown to drastically reduce the data requirements, but can bump up compute.

As a sideline on this conversation. I'm VERY interested in dTal's point and if it stands up to scrutiny. To me, it makes sense. The carbon in the air now is from carbon that was sequestered. It was in oil, it was in trees, it was in the rocks. Then we let it go. We drilled oil, cut down the trees and burned them and built them, we made concrete.

So. If you take carbon out of the ground, and expect to see it floating in the air, you should be taxed. That's the idea.

But does this make sense? Just how much of the carbon in oil really is destined for the air? How much of the wood? How much of the stone? Or is there some other chain I'm missing? How much carbon would be sequestered in plants that produce biofuel? How much of a net negative is ethonol production anyway? What about other fuels? This subject seems complex to me.

You seem to think all this is wrong, and it could be! I really would be interested to hear where the logic breaks down.
Funding replication is a great idea, but cannot solve this. It would require roughly add much funding add now goes to science merely to replicate results produced now. That still leaves a rather hefty backlog. Moreover, the pace with which scientific output doubles is increasing. From top of my head out would be below a decade nowadays.
Even if 90% of those would not need replication (new algorithms that work), then merely keeping pace would basically require 1 in 10 institutions to devote itself fully to replication studies. Even then we'd need more capacity to look at previous results - that 10% is fully needed to investigate new results.

Note that this is optimistic: I'd expect the percentage of publications where a reproducibility study makes sense to be above 50%.
I knew it! With the merge close it shifted to inequality!
Interesting comment. As a human, I could quite easily procure food and drink that would last me for maybe a decade. I could also get firewood and medicine and some books so that I could entertain myself in a bunker in the event I wanted to live like that.

I think if a dog realized that food/drink isnt coming, he would go into feral mode and go hunting for that. But upon being satisfied, he would take a break for a bit, because he doesn't have the concept of stockpiling or calculating his long term needs.

Standard ** measuring between the US and Russia for one.

If Russia ever drops the corruption and becomes a strong democracy, then it could conceivably go into NATO. It would require the US to be much much more passive and a team player (as an American I view this as a good thing, provided it is by other democracies w/ good human rights)

It would also require Russia to have some reason for doing so, mainly if it couldn't defend against China, or some developed Central Asian or Islamist superpower near it. Its also likely that Russia would ally with these forces instead of NATO, or just play them off each other like India is doing with the US/Russia now.

On the NATO side, it would require additional defense commitments by NATO towards Russia (and in the Pacific, the US). I doubt there would be appetite for it in the EU (and maybe not in the US), unless something went really really bad.
I mean, obviously? You can't create equality by inventing new kinds of scarcity. Scarcity inherently breeds inequality, and new kinds of scarcity just create new winners and losers. Thus it has always been for every land and resource rush in history.

Why would this one be any different? The pitch that it will be is just snake-oil from prospective winners.
Never you say? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doggerland
I've wondered about that: Why privilege that frame of reference? It seems more intuitive and easier to work with, but do we have a better reason than that?
Solar panels aren't burned for power.

If the US manages to transition to 100% solar, but then China cuts off exports, then we're still at 100% solar. It will just be more expensive to add more capacity or replace damaged panels. Annoying, but not oil-embargo level bad.

I also recently got a MBP and it's the first time I've used a Mac since the '80s, mostly using Linux for work and a Chromebook for home.

I agree with what this article has to say. Great hardware. For my primary reason for spending the money on it, it runs rings around anything else out there (video editing).

The OS I find mostly ok, but a few things feel pretty rough:

Updates. My terminal blocks updates from happening when I'm not using it. Updates take an amazingly long time where you can't use the system. I'm talking like the majority of an hour. It makes Windows updates look speedy, and I hate how long Windows updates take. Linux and ChromeOS do this right: You can use the system while it is doing updates, then it's just a reboot into the updates

The app finder (3 finger pinch), I sure wish it was a little smarter. In Firefox if I go to the URL bar and type "n" it knows I probably want "news.ycombinator.com". Every time I 3 finger pinch and type "b" it's like a babe in the woods, never having met me before. Now, every time I type "blue", MacOS thinks I want "bluetooth" until I add the "j" and it can figure out that, like every time I've done this, I want the BlueJeans app because it's meeting time...

I still haven't gotten used to clicking the yellow window button and the app "hides", the only thing on my screen is firefox or whatever, but when I start typing it's still going to that hidden app.

That said, it's still a great box. Mostly I use it as a web browser and a SSH terminal to my work machine. But, it has absolutely solved an infrequent pain point for me: Editing videos of my kids. Last fall I edited a concert video, the hour long concert took me ~40 hours to do because my wife's laptop, reasonably powerful but not the highest end GPU, required so much time generating optimized media and churning, and even then everything I did was slow as molasses.

The Mac has handled all video editing tasks without breaking a sweat. I feel like an idiot for spending the money for an infrequent task, but it is a 100% solved problem now.
The irreversible loss of everything if you forget your password isn't a minor inconvenience that will be fixed in the future - it's fundamental to how the whole thing is designed to work. And it's a catastrophically bad idea!

I'm constantly shocked that this isn't held up as one of the biggest flaws. This is a technology that's meant to be "the future" which is incompatible with how regular humans actually work.
I was aware that other DNS clients existed, but just using one of them would have taught me as much!
I feel Web3 security has regressed heavily on what used to be the norm. When I first played with Bitcoin, it was basically the expectation everyone had an air gapped desktop with an offline wallet, and a "watch only" wallet online. Then hardware wallets showed up and improved things further and people often still normalised that you only plugged it into a known clean machine if and when you needed it.

The standard these days seems to be "install a browser extension on your daily driver desktop and let it manage your wallet". I know people are going to say "Metamask supports x hardware" or "actually no, I still recommend..." but that doesn't take away from what's been the recent norm.

Amtrak does that sometimes (the train and/or crew die on the rails) but then they produce a bus from somewhere and get you to your destination.

At least in the US, once a company has accepted you on your journey they have to eventually get you to your destination, or get you to agree to give up. One time the train even stopped and told people trying to make a connection to get out; they'd called taxis to meet the other train.
I'd imagine at least until the disk fills up. If it's spam we are talking about, it can even be rendered at delivery time, it could be more than the useful lifespan of the device.
Fastenal is another good option as well. Grainger can be good for other random industrial things (tho pricey). I've found that fastenal's shipping is INSANELY fast. Like get it delivered the next day fast. Though that could be my location.
Look at Reddit as a platform which has many well curated 'subreddits', almost entirely for free.

As a physician with a practice in the realm of behavioral health it's been fascinating to witness the development of approaches to treatment-resistant depression using hallucinogenic agents.

First out of the gate was ketamine (now on the market as esketamine), and currently psilocybin is being studied. It's showing promising results, however, the details re: dosing and adverse effects are still being worked out.

It's an inescapable fact: ALL drugs produce side effects (at least in some recipients). Who will or won't tolerate a given drug is mostly hard to predict beyond the overall odds.

Everyone in my field has seen individuals who have experienced serious harm due to use of hallucinogens including psilocybin. IMO using this class of drugs shouldn't be considered trivial. Sure, a lot of people have taken such "illicit" drugs without lasting problems, but response is a stochastic function. Odds of harm are no doubt small but as use spreads to a larger pool odds are adverse reactions will emerge.

Of course people with serious depression already have major brain dysfunction and likely vulnerable to exacerbated adverse effects. Compared to normal functioning there's sharply decreased room for error.

In medicine the primary rule is "above all do no harm". Absent sufficient data backing particular practices, choosing to step into new territory requires moving forward with great caution and care.

> SuperCollider or something similar remains more powerful and more flexible

SuperCollider's license effectively stops you from designing commercial products. Even the free version of Elementary allows that.
No. It really is nukes or wind turbines.

Nobody is building coal plants. They are being shuttered just as fast as renewables can be brought online. Starting nukes steals funding from that for construction projects which will deliver no power for a decade. We burn coal in the meantime. The coal steals even more dollars, the whole time, and the nuke displaces much less coal when it does come online, if ever. Often, it wouldn't.

Money is fungible. Dollars spent on a nuke, and on coal the whole time it is being built, is dollars not spent on wind turbines that displace coal immediately as each comes online, and displace more than the nuke could.

This is a very stark difference, and no amount of logic-chopping can change it.
Looks like in 2019 there were 200-250 million airplane trips starting or ending in Germany. So maybe the surprise is how little average people travel rather than how little they rail.

In a rotating frame of reference, forces appear in the equations that are proportional to the distance from the center. They are the forces necessary to make an object which is stationary in a non-rotating frame go in a circle in the rotating frame. Those forces do not correspond to springs, gravitating bodies or any physical phenomenon, and are called "fictitious forces." Non-rotating frames of references make those forces go away, and that is why they're special.
I blame Ethereum - it's designed as a platform, which means developers build things on it, but those things then require users to interact with them - and every single interaction is an opportunity for something insecure to happen.
But why do you have to think about this at all? Wouldn't it just be easier that this was provided by the state, so that all citizens could afford getting necessary health care. At the same time it would relive you of having to compare coverage, copays, deductibles or in general understand the full fine print of your insurance agreements. Most comparable industrial countries have found a pretty decent solution to this where you move the financial burden of many basic services (health care, schooling, etc.) from the public, over to the government - allowing all citizens to benefit from these, without having to wonder if the can afford it.

If the analogy is apt, then they are doomed to fail at this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog

"...according to modern biologists the premise is false: a frog that is gradually heated will jump out. Changing location is a natural thermoregulation strategy for frogs and other ectotherms, and is necessary for survival in the wild."

i.e. the sun tries to gradually heat frogs nearly every day, and the ones that don't know to hop to somewhere cooler when it gets too hot, died off long ago.

Now, whether or not the metaphor _is_ apt in this case, that I cannot say.
