That's not "plenty", that's Fayette county[1]. It's very much an outlier, just like current fuel prices. The overwhelming majority of urban poor can (and do!) get by just fine without personal vehicles.

I have to say this debate is just exhausting. People just don't want to accomodate any solutions beyond "We Must Have Cheap Gas For Our Trucks In Perpetuity". I mean... that's just not the world we live in. And the rest of us (including and especially the urban poor!) have been looking at alternatives for decades.

Yes -- that is what I was wondering. The following statement is given with no explanation -- was Earth's gravity involved?

As the heat plume spread beneath the Moon’s crust, that material was eventually delivered en masse to the nearside.
I think it's fair to say it would become common, if you imposed punitive taxes on everything except plastic.

Once it's out of the ground, it's a matter of time before it ends up in the atmosphere, unless unusually careful sequestration measures are taken. Better to subsidize those, and tax generation, rather than try to micromanage the bit in between.
I’ve always thought of myself as being fairly good at visualization.

For example, I can imagine multiple 3D shapes at one time, rotate them, keep track of which direction a face is pointing on each one, etc.

However, I don’t really “see” any image. It’s more like a feeling of seeing it. Now I’m wondering to what extent other people actually see things they imagine…

No, not necessarily. He may be just a bad writer. Or the title may have been written by editors. A piece about a warmonger subtitled 'Kill them all' may use rhetoric clumsily, refer to an poorly-identified audience and/or omit quotes and other rhetoric indicators, and does not mean that the author of the piece subscribes to that point of view - it may be a shout intending to represent, or give an idea, or be ironic about, the point of view of the subject, or of his commentors, or other references.

Edit: to admit inadequate representations into the representational world amounts to lying... Ideas have to be fitting facts adequately.

"authorities themselves have been... entirely politicized"

I'm honestly curious what you think the word "politicized" means.

Politicized: "(of an activity or event) made political in character."

Political: "relating to the government or the public affairs of a country."

So, to be clear, you think it's a problem that "authorities" have made assertions about the public affairs of a country?

I get that you think they've been utterly clueless, and if that's true, of course I think that's a problem.

But I'm focusing on the second part of what seemed to bother you. That, people with authority, have made assertions about how public affairs should be handled? That's a problem, to you?

What would have been better, in your mind?
Do we have an idea of what percentage of impacts were prevented this way? What likelihood is there that the moon saved humanity (more than once?) since the time that we descended from the trees?

>It's not disingenuous to suggest this is a signal.

So would it disingenuous to point out Xbox prices dropped significantly recently then claim it as evidence there is no inflation?

Using such simple, single data points is disingenuous when there is ample broad based data to point to instead. Ask why he picked something with a 21% increase instead of something with a 4% increase, then you understand why it's disingenuous.

That is the problem with anecdotes versus broad and properly computed inflation.
Also much more productive here. After school activities a few times a week helps and mix of friends or alone time. Not losing 2 hours+ to commuting can do nothing but help productivity and family availability.

Even if you end up working for a business that has pretty locked-down systems, you'll find that developers often end up with admin privileges on their machines. Otherwise, you'd end up calling IT every 5 minutes to install updates to your tooling and dependencies.

The corporation I work for is almost anal about locking down machines to the point where you can't even install a browser yourself. I had admin access on day one as a developer and have no idea how I'd work without it.

Their safety net is that they'll almost definitely have monitoring tools installed. If you install something that triggers an alarm or they detect suspicious usage patterns, they'll be in touch. Otherwise, you're good.

I feel like Biden has been surprisingly willing to do "the right thing" in spite of political fallout. Like leaving Afghanistan, even though it led to the Taliban regaining control.
I got Covid (Delta) in November despite being vaccinated. I guess you can call it a "mild case" - I felt sick for 1-2 days, then weaker than normal for ~ ten days. But I did have complete loss of smell - interestingly enough I could taste food just fine, but I could put my nose (which wasn't clogged up or anything) into a jar of ground coffee and wouldn't be able to smell a thing. No cognitive impairment though. And, if you read the article, it doesn't say anything about "brain damage" either, just "Olfactory Tissue Degeneration and Microvasculopathy" (which could be roughly translated as "nose damage", I guess) - no idea why it was submitted with this title.
I wish I could upvote you more than once. You hit the nail on the head, thank you.
I can understand if it mutates to the point of circumventing the original immunity and there's a new vaccine variant to address that specific mutation but as you yourself point out, that doesn't apply here, so I don't get it?
It's similar here in the UK. 1 in 13 people in the UK had covid last week. And deaths are up, but not more than previous waves where we had far fewer cases.

What seems to be somewhat different in China is that between an up-til-now successful zero-covid policy (facilitated by lockdowns) and the less effective Sinovac vaccine, immunity levels are much lower. And I've seen a lot of people suggesting that the milder cases from Omicron are mostly down to existing immunity (either from vaccines or past infection) rather than Omicron being inherently milder (tentative consensus seems to be that it is a bit milder, but not so much as the reduced severity of infections would suggest in absence of other factors).
Can someone point me to an example of a society where good faith communication has dominated? This article paints a picture that the issue is something new, but I don't know any human society where bad faith communication was not a norm. Differences are mainly related to power structures and who holds the Power to communicate. Besides, this is really a dualist perspective to communication. What if most communication is neither good faith or bad faith, but something in between?
> Well, personally, I keep a lot of windows open on my screen because I work well that way. It's similar to the "cluttered desk" method—it may look messy, but I've got everything available to me and even if you don't know where anything is, I do.

> But I recognize that's more of a personal style than general usage.

> hiding an application that we're not actively using and don't need to have cluttering up the screen.

So having only used macs very sporadically what is the difference of hiding an application and minimizing a window?

> Also note that for every application up until a few years ago, and for some applications even now (and dependent on a System Preference setting), you can keep an application open on the Mac without any windows open.

So am I understanding correctly that hiding an application is essentially the same as minimizing all windows of that application (into some hidden space), I assumed from the previous posts they would just be moved to some virtual desktop? I guess that would be very nice for some applications but very annoying for others, e.g. do terminals count as the same application?

Hey -- my startup (https://reclaim.ai) got mentioned here. Super cool!

Funny enough: quite a few Zapier employees use us to do calendar automation.

IMO, the opportunity is "and" not "or". Zapier is great (I use it too!) for so many use cases, but sometimes the use case is complex enough and the opportunity large enough that dedicated solutions emerge.

So while some value may strip away from Zapier via dedicated solutions like Reclaim, I think Zapier will also continue to add value by educating more of the world, improving their UX, and connecting with more services.

For the folks looking for coding-style solutions, I'm also big fan of https://pipedream.com/. Check it out!

Lowest total cost of ownership if you're including fussing around for updates:

Used iPhone, potentially iPhone Pro 11 or iPhone 12. Performance is unmatched, software updates are supplied far longer than for typical android devices.

Larger capacity versions can often be found at almost the same price as base versions if you want to store a lot of data.

Pro versions often have the benefit that their owners were more careful.

But if you're already invested in the android ecosystem and/or looking for lowest prices, that may not be an option for you.
Well, most weren't. They stand looking as bad/gloomy and unlivable decades after as they did their first day.
> It turned out that either visual stimulus—the grating or moving dots—resulted in the same patterns of neural activity in the visual cortex and parietal cortex. The parietal cortex is a part of the brain used in memory processing and storage.

>These two distinct visual memories carrying the same relevant information seemed to have been recoded into a shared abstract memory format. As a result, the pattern of brain activity trained to recall motion direction was indistinguishable from that trained to recall the grating orientation.

>This result indicated that only the task-relevant features of the visual stimuli had been extracted and recoded into a shared memory format. But Curtis and Kwak wondered whether there might be more to this finding.

That is outrageously bad logic and is basically assuming your conclusion. This is not good science.

Those people don’t understand how the CPI is calculated. A basket of goods is used to project what an average person would spend on goods and services. Do people in New York spend more on the same basket? Of course! But the percentage change is fairly uniform in a connected economy like the US. The measurement is intended to calculate the macro effect of inflation; not Bob’s impact, who lives in Ohio, owns three cats, and exclusively eats tuna from a can.

An analogy is the BMI. This is intended as a population metric, but is often used by the individual. It’s less useful for the individual, but still actually pretty useful. If your BMI is above 30, you’re probably unhealthy. You might be a pro wrestler with huge muscles, but you probably aren’t.
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I don't understand why we'd be exporting oil while also importing millions of barrels from Russia a month. [1]

I, like the author of this essay, was prevented from doing such things by my employer when I used a Mac for work.

I do also want to point out that such suggestions - "just install and configure [some software] which will solve your problem" - are generally rejected when I point them out to people who are having a hard time getting started with free desktops. The KDE or GNOME environment are expected to be perfect at installation, but Windows and Mac OS are afforded more leniency. It's a double standard.
As a third party, I can weigh in to eliminate some of the ambiguity you're worried about:

It seems like the views you're replying to, match reality (Greenwald is indeed spreading FUD about something which is totally normal), and, I'm sorry, you are coming across as incomprehensible
Gold has not held consistent value for millennia. Take anything that you buy, housing, food, oil, and price it in gold, then do the same for the USD. See which is a more stable way to price goods.

Gold is terrible for stability, which is why booms and busts were more common and longer before every single country learned that and dropped gold standards.
possible it's just bad science reporting
Yes it is. It gets promoted the same way by the foundation and it has the same recognition in the field.

Must have scraped the 'show me your blog' thread from last week, since my blog is already in there.
There is a space for that for sure, but when things get serious, the programming bit is 10% of the capability, domain knowledge, data expertise and SQL become more relevant. Those skills are not fulfilled with UI tools. Sometimes in fact UI tools make the skill gap bigger because new hires might know SQL, but for sure don't know your expensive proprietary tool of choice.
I have described this world to a few people in my life recently, and look back on it very fondly.

Everyone was anonymous, everyone was crazy motivated, and it was a wild west of credit card theft, software theft, and more.

I wrote a few prolific mass mailers and servers, was pretty well known in the scene, and was only 12/13 years old.

I learned to program, create great user experiences, and more.

My servers were the first to have plain text search: /server send photoshop instead of /server send 26-40

It also hosted the lists via a PHP webapp, tracked metrics on the web across users of the app, and connected to IRC.

It was a wonderful time of chaos, rapid learnings, and intrinsic motivation that shaped my life forever. If not for this period of time in my life, I dont know where Id find myself.
Perhaps I am privileged by living in a very low cost of living area, but it was no great difficulty even in the beginning of my tech career to acquire a SFH w/ enough bedrooms that I could dedicate one to being an office. I even have a mini-split AC in my home office so I can keep the temperature at a comfortable working level (cooler) compared to the rest of the house in a cost-efficient manner.

I have no idea who these people are that think a company office intended for hundreds or thousands of people will be a better work environment than private offices per person or dedicated home offices. In my home office, I put significant effort into comfort and ergonomics and it yielded a huge improvement in my quality of life and a cost-savings to my employer due to not needing regular physical therapy for back pain anymore, and solving RSI that would have otherwise required surgery. Yet, if I go into an office to work they buy the cheapest "task chair" they can get and put everyone at tiny minimum spec desks. Even when I had a private office earlier in my career when that was still a thing, the furniture was garbage.

At home, I have a sit/stand desk with electric lift, ergonomic monitor and laptop arms, a nice herman miller ergo chair, an ergonomic mechanical keyboard, and a vertical mouse, with everything properly adjusted by an ergo consultant I hired. I've never seen a company that would be willing to provide a similar setup, even setting aside the privacy and quiet aspect of a dedicated office vs cube/open. At the end of the day, company office space is expensive and management cost optimizes by reducing worker quality of life. I'd much rather they allow permanent remote work and pass the cost savings on to workers by covering the cost of ergonomic equipment. I've now been permanently remote for almost a decade, and I will never go back to the office.
Oh yes! let's hear about how the Biden's intimate relationships with Ukraine have brought peace to the region. That'll be as much fun as hearing how "their economic agenda has been stymied," preventing us from spending our way out of inflation.

Depends where those UIs are on. If you have some sort of agreement set in place where they won't update the interface, then this is very much possible.

If it is relying on an 3rd party platform that you can't control and not know when UI changes are coming, then it can be bad for criticality.

However, I fail to know how urgent criticality is in ETL space, especially when UI changes can be as simple as "theres a new button" or "margin on form changed". The key process features and UI related to it would rarely change.
Yep it is quite an arbitrage going on. Unless startup credits at the highest tier ($100K), way too expensive for most startups.

For a lot of our customers, cloud is impossible now for HPC: shortages are so bad that you have to know someone high up at top cloud providers to get access to right-sized GPUs. (T4? Forget it -- one of our tickets is open since ~Christmas.)

We have gone hybrid, and for growing compute, going multi-cloud, with main stuff on top 3 clouds (CPU, light minimal GPU...), and GPUs elasticity on other ones. And for a lot... Yep, just buy GPUs for local dev.

I believe consensus is that the moon will eventually drift away from the Earth. Do such impacts, predominantly on the far side of the moon, apply enough force to change that prediction? Are such projections of whether the moon leaves Earth orbit (or instead collides with Earth) accounting for this?
As far as I know, airports try to setup the operations to have planes descend over cities, and climb away from them, to minimize noise. Sometimes this is not possible because of winds, so there will be a reversal.

Sometimes it's not possible to avoid climbing over cities because the city ended up engulfing the airport (e.g. Heathrow) - so they will alternate directions to give various towns a break.
I'd be interested to see follow-up posts by these companies later. As an example, my former employer started using Rust in 2017 and is still happily and productively using it today, but they only put out a blog post when they started, and they haven't talked about it since.

Agreed. Urban democrats drive the anti-gun stuff. I’ve belonged to the same gun club since I turned 13.

I had a weird upbringing. One side of my family was big in county republican politics, the other were unionists and involved in democratic politics. Nobody talked about any of this crap growing up.
