>From what I've seen, this is purely because of zoning laws.

America is vast and sparse for the most part. I don't know if such a model is even viable even if you were to relax zoning for grocery stores. Isn't the store's profitability proportional to population density ? Considering the real estate and labour costs, you would have to incentivise the grocery stores quite a bit to achieve that sort of store/ditance ratio.
In other words, Putin is predicting that Russia is going to lose its importance. I know it is sad for him but I just don't understand why he wants to fasten this process by unsuccessful invasion in Ukraine?
I hope he doesn't. It sounds like your customer service is the usual cost-minimization nightmare, and I don't see how fixing this one case will make it any better.

Companies like yours make it hard for customers to reach capable representatives and routinely break service promises. Because hey! who cares if we have treated people decently? it has nothing to do with the business model.

There must be dozens of ways to ensure your customer service systems treat people properly, and you're clearly doing none of them.

Don't fix this case, fix your systems.

It's surprising that with all the regenerative medicine there's nothing too revolutionary? I mean they know fasting helps, along with regular exercise etc. But I'm surprised there's not a specific supplement or whatever that people agree helps prevent aging etc.

or some kind of therapy?

You think there'd be something found in the last 20 years, people can agree on, that's been helpful to prevent aging?

is there something like that?
Inequality and Mass Transit in the Bay Area
It costs a lot of money to train a military pilot. All thr trainig, all the simulators, even salary.

It's a fun watch but flying a drone through currently operating heavy machinery seems like a terrible idea...

The video gamer in me though did want to mash the forward key when they waited for the second machine to finish a round before continuing though... you could've made that jump!
Access to services is probably the main thing: schools, hospitals, grocery stores. Plumbing and electricity is a pretty low bar since wells and septic fields are a thing, and even electricity can be generated on site these days if it's not available. But most people wouldn't want to live three hours from the nearest grocery store. That rules out some areas that would otherwise be pretty reasonable.

I drove through central British Columbia once on a road trip. There's probably enough reasonably flat land to fit the population of California with room to spare, but it'd be a pretty hard sell to get many people to move there now. Prince George has about 74,000 people but it's the only moderately large city/town for hundreds of miles in any direction.
The question is how many of our diseases are symptoms of the underlying cause of DNA replication failure, directly or indirectly? Skin tone is an obvious symptom, and similar symptoms occur in critical parts of our system. I think telomere length is a measure of replication count since the first cell is fertilised, which is why telomere length is a measure that is correlated with other negative symptoms of aging.
Worse for who, though? The traditional political power base of cities is homeowners, particularly those with enough wealth and free time to get involved with politics.

By owning homes, they don't care about the iniquity caused by wait lists, lotteries, or rising prices. In fact, they benefit greatly from rising prices. And if they can keep people out, they don't have to worry about change causing any discomfort to what they currently enjoy.
Speaking as someone who used to teach introductory cosmology at a good university ... your question is not a layperson's question! (That's a compliment, BTW.)

MCAS only exists as a bandaid to a terrible idea. They should've built a new aircraft, not strap bigger engines into a 40ish year old frame.

If MCAS _actually_ worked, you and I wouldn't even know about it. But as tribute to how poorly it was designed and delivered, we know about MCAS because it killed over 300 people.

Just an absurd point you're making.

Airbus are an engineering firm, so they are doing clever engineering things. Boeing was an engineering firm that has been run by bean counters the past few decades.

It wasn't "opposition to automation" it was opposition to innovation for the sake of short term profit.

Fatalism. Likely? that we're ants in an antfarm in which the course of every sand-grain, every ant, every molecule in the zephers is decided?

Observation destroyed that deist clockwork universe. There's no comedy in the catastrophic death of 100,000 people, in one man starving in the midst of plenty. We can do better, we can care for and feed and respect one another, as well as the worms. That's meaning we're empowered to create. Not for laughs but smiles. However humble, that is by far the more interesting experiment. And then when our moving finger moves on, no 'Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line.'

Reminds me of the old story of the King's servant saying to the monk, "If only you'd learn to pander to the King, you wouldn't have to live like a monk." To which the monk replied, "If only you'd learn to live like a monk, you wouldn't have to pander to the King!"
The little permetherin pads that OFF sells are the best things anywhere. I used to live in a suburb of New Orleans surrounded by swamps, and those things drive mosquitos away. Vastly better than mosquito coils and reusable... just dip them in more permetherin solution and they'll last for another 4 hours. Someone needs to come up with a system that involves a rechargable battery pack and a tiny heating element along with a little kit for redipping and storage. Sportsmen everywhere would love that product.
A big part of the problem was that the requirement was for all teachers. Why does an English teacher need to pass a math profiency test to graduate?
The court decision and open letter are both infuriating.

The author starts with the problem of declining standards (okay), takes a detour via Haidt/Peterson (groan [1]), and by the end of the article the author is frothing at the mouth about Marxism or something.

--

[1] Haidt/Peterson are to the right wing as Zizek is the left wing. It's less that I disagree with them per se and more that I find their entire style appeals to lazy and excessively emotional thought patterns. They're the humanities version of highly cringeworthy pop sci TED talks.
I posted to r/accounting.

Two people there said that, it maybe is transaction fees. But they have asked me to look into the numbers. I think they are right, but I still find the phrasing to be quite ambiguous tbh.

I block the banners outright without interacting with them with uBlock Origin usually, unless that causes site breakage. Usually doesn’t.

I think most peoples' definition is clearly about "push-based" paid advertising, rather than "pull-based" marketing videos that they don't pay any platform to promote.

I for one, am grateful that a company is showing the power of organic marketing like that, as opposed to constantly having to see Doritos ads injected into my friends' Instagram stories on iOS. (jk, I only use desktop Firefox w/ uBlock now)
I mean - that's definitely a specialized robot we've not yet built, but I think all the components exist to do it if someone actually bothered to put it together. Scanning a lego instruction booklet to assemble a 3D model of the desired outcome seems extremely reasonable - and assembling legos is clearly within the realm of possibility.

Now, we don't have a general AI that you could just hand a pile of legos and a booklet to and we almost certainly won't have one of those for a number of years - but that task isn't out of the realm of reason for a specialized solution.
It used to be that way, but IQ has actually been dropping in Europe for quite some time. In France and the UK it's a drop of about 4 IQ points per decade, which is a bit of a crisis (some scores can be found compiled here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/309330272_The_negat...).

There's a claim that the reversal of the Flynn effect is environmental (https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1718793115), by two Norwegian researchers, but they've argued in a way which is obviously fallacious-- they basically said that environmental effects explain the drop in Norway, but the drop in Norway is relatively low, around 1 IQ point per decade (although that is of course incredibly bad) and the argue that this is the case for the other countries as well, but that doesn't follow since the drops in the countries they do not even consider are so much larger. In fact, they could have made another argument, for example that the drops in the UK and France can't be environmental because those effects in Norway can only be made to account for one 1 IQ point per decade.
The official way of saying numbers in French is to spell each digit separately and 1 is "unité". So 011 is zéro, unité, unité.

However if it is clear enough and there is no ambiguity, the common way of saying numbers can be used, so zéro onze is acceptable. In normal conditions, no french speaker will mistake "onze" for "un", the latter should be "unité" anyways.

The main problem with "un" is that it sounds like "hein?", which means something like "huh?", the kind of meaningless words that punctuate conversations without even noticing.

That seems largely correct, Monero came out in 2014, so I think it was a combination of law enforcement becoming more familiar with how to track BTC payments and markets realizing there's a better alternative.

I think the fact that the U.S. Government put out a bounty for cracking Monero shows that it's working fairly well so far

Well you are correct. Altos labs (https://altoslabs.com/) is basically every "who's who" in science doing this with billions of dollars. Including Wolf Reik who is featured in the article.
There is ample margin of error. You forget that both airplanes are going at Mach 3+. The SR-71 might be going at Mach 3.4 and the MiG-25 at Mach 3.2, and this difference in speed is not anywhere near sufficient to prevent the interceptor from compensating.

>The pilots could make course changes that would put the plane off the original intercept by miles within seconds and it was very hard for a missile to adjust for that, missiles run out of fuel very quickly and have to burn their energy to change course. And they weren't very smart in the cold war.

No, that's not true. By the time the missile is fired, at a distance of, say, 30km, the SR-71 has anywhere between 10 seconds and 2 minutes before being hit.

From the SR-71 flight manual, we can find a turning radius of 105 nautical miles at Mach 3.2, and extrapolate to 140 nm at Mach 3.4. That means a 259km turn radius, and a 1700km turning circumference, meaning that every degree of rotation translates to, at 1180m/s, 4 entire seconds

So, the missile would have a very easy job. At a turn rate of 1 degree every 4 seconds, even in pure pursuit ("not very smart"), the missile would not have to expend much energy at all.

I've read way too many Vancouver zoning bylaws and I can tell you that they're generally not very readable and not very interesting :)

But if you do want to read them, here you go: https://vancouver.ca/home-property-development/zoning-and-la...

The "CD-1" zoning is notable in that it's actually 800+ unique zoning districts: https://cd1-bylaws.vancouver.ca/ByCD-1Number.htm

For a variety of depressing reasons, the Vancouver planning department is quite reluctant to use broadly-applicable zoning districts; a lot of new development happens with new unique zoning districts that apply to one lot only.

Nice concept. I miss Grooveshark though.
The way drone pilots these days fly around so skillfully makes me wonder if there’s any black market for a sort of corporate espionage program where a pilot can sneak in to a factory through some small gap, quickly fly around gathering footage and as much sensitive details as possible, and then escape back out, before anyone has a chance to even do anything or maybe even realize what has happened.
There was an abomination of a live action Pikachu movie some time ago. When I google "realistic pikachu" I get images exactly like this from the movie but not gross.

In fact this photo is exactly what you get when you photoshop the face of an ugly chihuahua unto a Pikachu plushie head and add a yellow brushed hamster body. And a cape. Literally that is what you're looking at.

It understood your prompt and amalgamated the right source photos into this nightmare fuel. Jesus wept.
It is specifically addressing the GPs statement "as if its usual for any company to know what a 'polycule' is."

It is usual for a large number of companies (and tech folks) to know what that means, but disproportionately so for the Bay area. The blog poster certainly works for a company I'd call Bay adjacent, so they wrote in a language familiar to them.

It has nothing to do with "only place that matters", but simply explaining that given the context of the writer, it's a high likelihood they assume general familiarity.
A lot of people cut their teeth in government defense jobs and jump to a contractor position doing basically the same thing for double the salary.

gVim (only on windows/linux) with a minimal config is my preferred. Fast but a few powerful built-in vim features like search, replace, syntax highlighting, spellchecking, auto-indent etc. It loads in about 1.5s on my machine and renders the text nicely.

Don't know how it is in Canada, but in the US, elementary school teachers teach all subjects. Some schools can afford a "math specialist" who handles math instruction, but not all. And those are the schools that can attract top teachers in the first place.
Not really. You buy mining resources to mine it as opposed to purchasing already mined bitcoin.

There’s rarely any paper trail between buying GPUs/ASICs and the mining itself. That’s why these currently sell above the amount they’d be profitable mining with. Because illicit actors are willing to pay a premium for anonymous crypto.

What is also interesting is that it is about the same size as the Tesla Berlin factory, the "Giga"factory doesn't seem to be anything special. What is different is that I don't remember environmental protests when the BMW factory was built.

> I think most peoples' definition is clearly about "push-based" paid advertising

That's got nothing to do with it. All that's going on here is that people have bought into a false narrative that Tesla doesn't do advertising. And instead of recognizing it as false they desperately defend the falsehood to avoid feeling foolish.

Making the claim that something which is plainly an ad is not an ad by way of silly semantics is farcical.
There's another reason.

Propaganda that is obviously lies is saying to people "look everyone is full of shit, we can make it too, see? The West are also full of it, you just aren't used to their crap, but it's still crap. What you can rely on is that you're one of us and you should follow what our leaders say, because you at least know the culture you grew up in".

Basically you create noise so that nobody can trust their own intelligence when deciding what to believe. Either they don't have the information or it takes too much work to get, so they are forced to fall back on some sort of group decision that's presented to them by above.
