Nobody has to listen to Wolfram. Close his graphomaniac blog and forget about him.

On the other hand, academic credit (not merit) will get you much further than money in many cases - and the lack of it (while not lacking merit) is a serious impediment on the progress of many scientific projects.

The difference? Socialism. Wolfram uses his own taxed income to further his goals, while meritless scientists use the broken system of academia and the income from taxes (that should've been used to further real science) to accomplish theirs.
I have flown in France and you are completely right.
That SD card quickly wearing out might be only relevant to Raspberrys before v4, because they could (try to) draw up to 15 W, while USB 2 could only deliver 2.5 or 7.5 W at best ?
It's not consistent. I believe in some countries it's all English. In Germany, big airports are English, and small airports are German. In the couple of small airports I've flown out of in France, it's French.

I've heard of some countries where the controller will speak to you in whichever language you speak to them, which can lead to issues with situational awareness if you're the only one on the frequency speaking English and you don't know where all of the other planes are.

The big problem with the mansions is that they take up so much space that there's no room for anyone to live here.

It's such a great area because of the proximity to the city, so we should let more people live here.

Raze the mansions to the ground and build apartments that regular people can afford.
It seems pretty similar. The only interesting aspects were the perspectives of the drone zooming through the assemblies, and Tesla's use of very complex castings; but I grew up around manufacturing/factories and was also lucky enough to see the NUMMI factory (Toyota/GM, now Tesla) before it closed. And that was over a decade ago, in a factory that was already decades old.

Here's a similar video from Honda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCuclAl9AGo

What's missing from the Tesla video is arguably the most important part: the batteries.
As a user I get a lot more joy when I can get a .reg file and double-click it to apply a setting rather than having to manually do whatever it takes to modify the uber-modern ~/.config folder.
Snap truly is awful. That's why I'm completely dumbfounded that the Flatpak developers found a way to make package management somehow more of a hassle...
And sometimes even when they are banned from doing it they still do it and just hide it in barrels they dump in the port of Los Angeles that they hope just sink to the sea floor and never leak.

Spoiler: They leaked
We have also seen very old objects closer by.

The Methuselah star is estimated to be 13.7 billion years, in fact by some estimates older than the universe (which is clearly somewhat problematic).

It is a mere 190 light years away.

We're coming up on twenty years since Myspace, so, anyone guessing it was a fad was wrong.
The other thing about it is that if you could make it use radically less energy, it wouldn't save a joule: the same amount of energy would be used to just mine more of it.
According to the book "Abundance", everything gets devalued over time, meaning cheaper and easier to make, leading to some sort of utopia where everyone can afford more and more.
>there is no law that promises past earnings indicate future earnings.

Strictly no, but this is basically what imputed income does. It's saying you have the capability to earn it. If you actually HAVE earned that amount, it can be extremely difficult to convince a judge that the certainty that you HAVE earned that amount is countered by some vague uncertainty you may not be able to again. Fighting against a known factual salary history with some hand waving about not being able to do it anymore is a hell of a hill to climb. Plenty of anecdotes show people having extreme difficulties lowering child support.
I think the sentence is just poorly worded. I see this "it costs $300 per year" and "30 lives" as two separate ideas. I think we might just be assuming that its also 30 lives per year, when it might just have been $300 million and 30 lives in recent years. I struggled with that sentence too, so I could also be totally wrong.
Went over my head I guess :)
this a million times. I interviewed for the spooks, and the money they were offering was an absolute pittance compared to what I could be making

just pay us, I'd be happy to come work. I know they have the money too, I pay double their offering salary in the taxes I paid in 2021
The more automation, they more you need humans to check if it works.
> Victims: there are dissenting opinions

Nobody cares. There's truth.

No evidence exists of these fictional things you're trying to discuss.

Anti-vaxxers speculate that vaccines secretly killed millions of people. That seems absurd, no? Like. We'd be able to find them?

Then why does this seem any different?

We're able to find evidence of deaths from 20,000 years ago, in caves, buried under 500 feet of dirt

Why can't any of the anti-nukes find any evidence of these giant mysterious waves of death during our lifetime?

When do you apply skepticism?

> Power-producing dams failures are very rare and preventable

Dude ... no.

Go learn about Banqiao, which alone killed more than 10x as many people as all non-hydro energy disasters of all kinds put together.

Dams are the single most common form of power source failure by nearly two orders of magnitude.

Six of them have happened in the last ten years, five of those in first world countries.

.

> This Banqiao case is a fluke

No, it's not. There are three other six figure death rates from dams, as well as 55 five figure and almost 800 four figure.

They fit the Zipf distribution essentially perfectly.

Also, holy shit, Chernobyl actually was.

Get it together. You're making things up.
The thread OP assumed themselves “close by car”. I think it wasn’t obvious to them that supermarkets are all relatively close by even at their size.
If their pronouns aren’t what a person would naturally assume, great. For the rest of us it’s just pure virtue signaling.
You can see e.g. same kinds of body stamping at https://youtu.be/fgyDo_1d390?t=68

There's a gazillion "how cars are made" videos on YT but they are all full of irritating voiceovers and interviews. This one is a lot more just fun to watch.

> You only need consent if there is absolutely no reason for you to have that data.

Also no.

There are specific acceptable reasons to have the data. LI is a weak one and does not apply in many situations (there are a lot of balancing factors applied, including a "reasonable person" standard on the data subject). As you say, consent is a very strong one, if received it can virtually always apply. The ones in-between only apply in limited situations genuinely necessary for business (company management of employee data, addresses of customers you need to ship to) or to a small set of companies (hospital management of health data, AML/KYC for banks), and rarely to general web / app analytics.

"I would like that data to serve ads better" (or "to sell to someone who wants to serve ads better") is not "absolutely no reason", but it is also rarely one of the other reasons. And conversely, even if in some case if you have a legitimate business interest i.e. would go bankrupt without it, it is not LI in the sense of GDPR if it cannot meet other factors. The modern adtech ecosystem more or less requires "consent-strength" allowances.

I think they're two separate ideas maybe. The "per year" in that sentence is ambiguous. It's unclear if it applies to the $300 million, or both that and the 30 lives.
The hypothetical density instantly goes up, though actual development might take a tad longer.

Not arguing your point that this rezoning should take place, but just pointing out that housing development is a physical process and that even if Vancouver and British Columbia politicians do get their act together around land use policy, we're in a painful housing shortage hole that is going to take years to build our way out of.

All the more reason to act sooner than later!
We weren't discussing preparation times or elaborate procedures, we were discussing convenience, portability and service time, or in other words; overall friendliness, and those factors are what matter in running a fast food restaurant and for your information Mexican fast food preparation takes long time for some items but the service should be quick for the customer for the business to flourish.

Most of the cuisines you cited in your defense of Ethiopian cuisine has robust and rich fast food offerings esp. those of Mexico, Italy and China, a point which is lacking in that of Ethiopia and thus poses a challenge to enjoy wide adoption and achieve the status of mass-market fast food category.
I don't see why "silly, unpersuasive propaganda" would be considered an oddity requiring explanation. Like anyone else in this modern world, I am constantly bombarded by obviously false propaganda. In order to keep somewhat stable, I must regularly stop and remind myself of events I remember which contradict the bullshit I'm told every day. Most commonly, propaganda tells a story which somewhat coheres when considered in each particular instant, and totally collapses when one remembers stories told last week or last decade.

"Economic sanctions on other nations accomplish their stated goals."

"This time, regime change really will turn out for the best."

"Sometimes we win wars."

"It's totally normal to spend a trillion dollars a year on the military."

"It's fine that we incarcerate 0.7% of our population, even though no other nation in history has approached that rate."

"We should fear people who've never done anything to us."

"We have a functioning healthcare system, that is less than twice as expensive as that of any other nation."

"Media coverage of international news sometimes has some other purpose beyond further enriching armaments manufacturers."
The rulebooks and expansions have just been coming in at a very slow pace, and they still have poor balance that requires the DM to fix everything themselves.

It’s admittedly not something that most players have to think about, but WotC just seems incapable of making good design decisions.
I do too which is why I said just turn off javascript. You can try to compare this to running gopher but if you ask me the end user experience is the same.

John wants to visit a website of a business. John likes having Javascript turned off. John visits the website with Javascript turned off. The website requires Javascript. John finds the website doesn't work and gives up.

Do you actually design a city, waterfall style? Wouldn't you just end up with Canberra, the most boring city ever, or Disney World?
What Musk actually says is that they don't do advertisement and that case by the comment definition of 'paying somebody to run ads'. As far as I know, please provide sources if you know otherwise, that Musk or Tesla said 'we don't have a PR department'.

Rather the media around Tesla stopped getting answers for requests and some of the personal contacts from inside Tesla that they had left the company. This lead the media concluding that Tesla had fired its PR department. Or at least those people that responded to media requests. We know that some people that were part of that moved to other position inside Tesla.

Tesla always had events and produced various kinds of media that they put out on their own channel. They clearly have a marketing or media team of some kind. The also clearly have people preparing communication for governments and shareholders, so they do have some kind of PR department, even if they internally don't call it that and those people work inside other departments.

I think you are mixing up what Musk claims and what media companies say about Tesla.

Normalising pronouns in bios is a way of protecting trans/NB people, not signalling legitimacy. It's like the easiest way anyone could possibly make lots of unwelcome-feeling people feel a bit more welcome in society.

It’s not so much that they deviate from the norm (quite the opposite, there’s a manual that dictates exact phraseology), it’s just that there’s SO MUCH traffic that they don’t have time to hold hands, and they expect you to be competent. In other words, there’s very little time or room for error, and that can come off as rudeness.

It is always the pilot’s prerogative to overrule ATC (if there’s a legitimate reason) and/or declare an emergency. And I assure you NY ATC would take it seriously if you do. They just don’t have time to dance around.
The first line of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Don't try to spend time deciding on spreadsheets versus Trello versus Slack versus etc for managing the project, instead focus on the problems your team has.

Simple example: let's say your project management spreadsheets are not working well because people keep duplicating work that someone already finished, so you decide to start using Trello instead. Turns out, your teammates had not been regularly updating their status in the spreadsheet, and you still have the same problem in Trello- people are not keeping their status up-to-date, so the problem is not solved, and you have a bunch of teammates angry because the problem of duplicated work has not been solved AND they had to learn a new tool.
This could replace a huge portion of the stock image market.

For example, The Verge writes an article about Microsoft, they don't need to pay royalties for an image that has Microsoft logo displayed on a building, one can be generated for them.
Another purpose of obviously false propaganda is for detecting conformance. If propaganda says that 2 + 2 = 5 and a citizen states that 2 + 2 = 4 then that citizen can be red-flagged by the state apparatus (or others within the in-group).
they are an example of "bootstrapping works".

the founders created enough revenue to slowly hire that team. they didn't have that from day 0.

again, this is how actual real sustainable businesses are created. they can raise money now if they want, not the ones with 0 revenue.
I suspect it means it's necessary for Stripe to negotiate tailor-made deals with enterprise clients directly in order to avoid simply being undercut by a competitor product.

Stripe may offer a polished and complete system but if SagePay or whatever are cheaper, larger enterprise clients will think twice, especially if they have the people on their staff capable of taking SagePay's APIs and making them look and work just as nicely as Stripe.

And it's an acceptable tradeoff to charge less per transactions if you're getting considerably more transactions than with a smaller client, and getting a big name partner to put on your landing page.

If I ran a company like Stripe of course I'd liaise with Microsoft or whoever and be like "yo, if I cut x% of transaction charges wanna use my service?" and boom I can say "Microsoft uses our service omfg!" on my website...

and then I have more big enterprise clients on the phone because they'll conclude that my product must work, must work at scale, and must offer something valuable to a big client like Microsoft.

That's probably why a lot of companies on their Pricing pages say something like "Enterprise? Get in touch" rather than simply giving a number. A client with huge demands might need prior preparation/augmentation to the architecture of your actual service delivery in order for you to keep up and supply your service to your existing customers, let alone pricing deals where an enterprise client may have bespoke demands or a special deal.
When will an API be available for the rest of us?
HahahahHHAHAHAHAHA

IRS gives almost $0.60 per mile:

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-issues-standard-mileage-rat...

> The standard mileage rate for business use is based on an annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating an automobile.

I also incorporate morbidity/mortality risks associated with driving, considering it is the riskiest thing people do on a day to day basis which very well could result in loss of income due to not being able to work and other costs.

I also expect inflation to keep driving up replacement cost of cars (and repairs).

Finally, I am under the impression that short distance start and stop driving is more costly via wear and tear than long distance highway driving.
The city amalgamated with near inner-suburbs, which gave a lot of power to city councillors that are living in more car-centric neighborhood. So while people downtown couldn't give two shit about the highway and would like it destroyed, suburbans councillors voted to keep it because of course, that's the highway they use to drive to city hall. There was a decent plan to transform it into an urban boulevard (still large, but less ugly than elevated highway) and that lost.

And before anyone mentions people going to work that need the highway, majority of commuting to downtown business is not cars, but a combo of transit + cycling + walking.
The police department will ask IT, they will Google it, and tell the cops to use one of the various commercial options used to deanonymize wallets and transaction trails. A credit card payment or trial sign-up later and if the service is any good, they'll have what they need.

I'd put anything available to the general public in the "trivial" camp, even if the underlying tech is fantastically complex or difficult.
This is pretty cool though

Oh, tell me about it. I think that's the kind of innovation that's happening now with the drone warfare you see in Ukraine. People tell me that "Russia has 100k tanks to Ukraine's 10k", and I think: those high-level numbers do not matter; what matters is what happens when the two meet on the battlefield. If one $50k drone can consistently take out millions of dollars of equipment, it doesn't matter how expensive or numerous that equipment was, or how good it would be at fighting some hypothesised similar adversary.

The superpowers of the world have gone through several successive 'generations' of military technology without really having a war in which to use them. (Just skirmishes with pre-industrial desert and jungle people, and the occasional mismatched murky proxy war with export-grade technology.) These mega-elaborate aircraft carriers and fighter jets and tanks are like radar-enabled cavalry, and will be taken out with drones and handheld rockets, and whichever modern-day Kroll is clever enough to strategise will make an absolute, uh, killing.
I have been to 3 Toyota factories and 1 Citroen. The process shown in the video is very similar.

Tesla factory looks a bit slow, I guess because it’s new.

Many steps are missing, like assembling doors/ hood before oaint shop.
Interiors assembly also missing. I assume these are the more proprietary things from Tesla. What they showed are the common processes/tools across many manufacturers.

They had too many cars parked inside the factory, normally that means defects that need to be fixed.

He is suggesting that a no-fly zone should have been instituted prior to the invasion, at the invitation of Ukraine. This would have produced significantly different military and diplomatic implications; it would have required Russia to be the aggressor, and attempt to strike NATO aircraft preemptively before mounting their initial attacks in Ukraine.

If implemented now, a no-fly zone would require NATO aircraft to behave offensively, and would require strikes on Russian air defenses on the ground as well as aircraft.

Is it just me or does this blog post just repeat the same simple idea multiple (5? 10?) times? Is it some kind of postmodernist play?

FWIW, it's probably going to be the case that some AI will be able to correctly produce the picture of what an item will look like, once it is folded.

I have to feel that on some level, actively seeking out jobs where you review CSAM on a daily basis should be at least something of a red flag to those employers.

Not to defend the material in question in any way - but the people who expressed concern... were right. As soon as Reddit gave mods the tools they needed to expunge the really terrible stuff from the site, those tools were almost immediately used to ban completely unrelated conspiracy subs.

Any chance you could release the raw data (including the URLs)? I am having trouble to get your typescript running.
That is correct, I'm going back to the inspiration behind the inspiration. Notepad++ lacks the same properties compared to the original
Why are you concerned about the memory usage? Computers have a lot of memory.
In a lot of the shots you can see the machine working and you have the movement of the drone so that makes the connection clear.

There are surely cuts in there its not a continues shot but its not all speed up either otherwise some of the machines would work way faster.

I would assume it was FPV, the other version seem like it would be more work and more expensive.
>The only reason to bring it up at all just seems to be part of the myth-building.

I don't understand how this can be what you think I'm getting at, when my post was myth-busting. You agree with me that most average, non-tech-oriented people seemed to misunderstand that Bitcoin was largely anonymous. Now, those assumptions had to come from somewhere, right? I'm not saying they know who Satoshi is, or what a Bitcoin whitepaper is at all, nor am I saying Satoshi should be lionized or mythologized. But what I am doing is pointing to rhetoric used early on in Bitcoin's life that could've easily made it's way into the lexicon of the less technically-minded and explain how we ended up there.

An analysis of how the myth was built, as it were, rather than further building of the myth.
