> There is no Reliability Rating for the Lexus RX330 due to insufficient data.

and instead quotes average for midsize SUVs.

Sure everything breaks down eventually. I presently have 2 RX330s. The way it works is buy for less than 5k (~150k miles). Drive for 100k miles and sell for $2k. which turns out to about 3cents per mile. these cars have great reliability. 300k is safe mileage before repairs become uneconomic.

Previously I had a Scion xb which i drove to 375k miles and only disposed because it needed a new catalytic converter. The only repair i did on it was replacing alternator ($100 plus one hour). that car was even cheaper per mile and used less gas.

If a car wears out eventually so does a bike.

If you can increase demand for a finite supply, the price increases. The bet on a stock split is that the existing price was a psychological barrier for retail investors and thus the split will bring in more retail investors.

One possible solution in Rust could be:

enum Value {
Fizz,
Buzz,
FizzBuzz,
Number(usize),
}

impl std::fmt::Display for Value {
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter) -> std::fmt::Result {
match self {
Value::Fizz => write!(f, "Fizz"),
Value::Buzz => write!(f, "Buzz"),
Value::FizzBuzz => write!(f, "FizzBuzz"),
Value::Number(num) => write!(f, "{}", num),
}
}
}

const fn get_fizzbuzz_equivalent(number: usize) -> Value {
if number % 15 == 0 {
Value::FizzBuzz
} else if number % 3 == 0 {
Value::Fizz
} else if number % 5 == 0 {
Value::Buzz
} else {
Value::Number(number)
}
}

fn main() {
(1..100).for_each(|num| println!("{}", get_fizzbuzz_equivalent(num)));
}
It shouldn't. But historically there was a lot of research that said that it did--admittedly many from a time when buying fractional shares was harder/costlier.

I don’t dismiss its value in the broader education system, nor for certain industries and jobs. But specifically in the context of K12 requirements & expectations in the process of applying for college, it’s hardly foundational knowledge for most of life’s paths.

Ergo, it’s best to a) not to have college expectations be built around most/everyone having it before college and punishing those who don’t, b) focus on teaching it where it’s needed (eg when in college for those majors), and of course c) if a kid knows their path involves it earlier, make it available to learn when they want to.

The actual title is much better: The Woman Who Survived the Lowest Body Temperature Ever

Very few mammals can recover from freezing, and the bad sensationalism takes away from how amazing the facts are.

The article fails to mention her lowest measured core temperature, but Wikipedia says 13.7 °C (56.7 °F), which is definitely not yet freezing.
Why do you assume all of these things only exist to impress others? There's a lot to appreciate in the design and craftsmanship of a well made product, its impact on culture, or its significance in history. Or maybe the object simply puts a smile on your face when you see it or touch it. That new phone could make someones work day more efficient. That diamond necklace could be a gift from their loved one and a reminder of the times they shared together when they look in the mirror. It seems a bit shortsighted to suggest that expensive things only exist to impress others.

I can't say I am a user of deno today, but my feelings about deno remind me my feelings about Rust circa 2015: it's not clear if the thing succeeds, but, if it does, that would be a huge boon for the whole industry, as finally "better is better" would take over "worse is better". Deno has all the potential to become the first really dependable scripting environment!

Check out Sorbet Leopard. It's an enthusiast enhanced version of Mac OS 10.5 Leopard. It's been updated to support modern web browsing and had the "bloat" stripped out of it so it runs extraordinarily well on G4 systems. I have it installed on a 1.67GHZ PowerBook G4 and it makes the computer totally usable today. It's amazing how well a 17 year old computer can run. Youtube is the only thing that doesn't work well, but it'll play back 360P video if you give it plenty of time to load. Amazingly, if you download "CorePlayer" this old G4 machine can play back local 720P h.264 files.

I am willing to bet that there are a lot of variables that math doesn't calculate for, such as mass farming inefficiencies that can be accommodated for by small-family farming, monoculture crop dominance, space for heavy machinery and food storage, and what agriculture we're talking about (as, for instance, the corn grown for conversion into ethanol or high fructose corn syrup isn't always the same kind of corn grown for human consumption, or hay and other grains grown to feed cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens).

There are also extra inefficiencies due to greenhouses, orchards and the like that take up a lot of space for little resultant plant matter, and I don't know if you checked but if that figure accounts for cattle grazing that in addition to needing land for food to be grown for them also requires land for them to occupy and live in until they are slaughtered.

I'm not saying you're wrong, just more that your figure puts a minimal upper bound on the amount of land needed to feed a human rather than placing a minimal lower bound on it.
Google is obviously still a very strong business but in terms of stock price performance all that matters right now is forward guidance. Meta signaled last quarter that their macro outlook was that ad spend was going to decline. That seems plausible, especially for ads targeted at consumers who are getting hit by inflation. Google might be plateauing and all the stock buybacks in the world might not help even at the current multiples that are much more appealing than 6 months ago. We shall see.

The problem is that existing connections are inside of async functions (goroutines) that have references to the old config. AFAIK, there's no way in Go's stdlib to kill those goroutines while keeping the connection and handing it to another fresh goroutine.

To be clear, the new config is running at the same time as the old is still tearing down; all new connections get handled by the new config. Listeners are shared and transferred between servers.

We're all ears, though, if someone with deep knowledge of Go's internals can point us in the right direction.

> In my experience, what we call optimists are often just people with a superior ability to see what is possible, usually based on intelligence, experience, and knowledge. They usually are the first to recognize that the world has changed in some important way, creating an opportunity for improvement.

Or maybe, just maybe. You don't see all the optimists who crashed and burned, and successful optimists being rare creatures given that they got past the great filter tend to get all the press and accolades as well as attention . So people look at them trying to dissect their life and pick their brain trying to find the one thing that make them go past the great filter whereas it's most likely just luck and survivorship bias.

Optimism shouldn't be ever taken into consideration as a predictor of success, that would leave lots of people bitter and desperate when they don't make it past the great filter.

Optimism and the good mood you have when you are in an optimist state is itself the reward, that's about it. The idea that everything is possible and all is up for grabs gives the brain lots of pleasure and that is a win to be enjoyed even if you fall victim of the great filter later on.

An example is people watching with wide eyes Reusable rocket launches imagining they'd live on Mars in 20 years, or those visiting cryonics centers imagining how they'll beat death or Level 5 cars autonomy.

Such goals are 100% guaranteed bullshit but the pleasure that people feel while imagining those things is real, it's very important for humans to gaslight ourselves into believing great things are possible, if you can do that for long enough then at some point death will arrive and the problem of finding meaning would take care of itself in a sense.

Shopify Developer here (opinions are my own) we are running Ruby on Rails (obviously) and we do well with it. It's fast to develop, fast to deploy, fast to test. I have no complaints with it.

Technical culture, discipline, quality of engineers and leadership matter so much more than what your tools are imo.
Marginal cost is a supply side issue. Netflix supply is bandwidth, but also CoNtEnT. They need a constant stream of films and TV shows to be valuable to the customer and attract new customers.

Anyway, what I wanted to say was that while Netflix is overvalued, it is a very good media business. It has access to every market in the world besides China, it has brand equity in those markets as well and its only competition would take years to catch up. It just should be valued like Disney or DicoveryWarner.

In the context of this text, it is a fine example, but they were definitely talking about "easily obtained high quality oil", not shale oil, which as the article suggests, was thought to be largely unobtainable at reasonable cost.

So, people who love cheap oil seized upon this as proof that doomsaying such as this and Malthusian theory was just wrong.

Obviously, even not withstanding shale oil or even abiotic production of oil, we will eventually outstrip our ability to pump oil if we just continue to grow our usage of it ad infinitum.
"what do the ex-royals have to offer Europe?" tldr: nothing, for the most part, with the exception of a long profile in the middle of the Albanian pretender, which discusses his argument that Albania is still so impoverished and shattered by the legacy of Communism that some sort of constitutional monarchy would help repair it and enable it to recover and reach its potential. That part is interesting.

I don't have the full dataset so can't calculate the medians. If you have the data you're welcome to do so and make the comparisons. You continue to act as if you've refuted my central point when all you have done is provide a data set that is irrelevant to the region of interest and computed the median of that irrelevant data set.

My point that average while imperfect is still a useful measure. My point is that the irrelevant data is not useful even if you compute a median for it. My point is that I'd rather analyze information about the San Jose real estate market from the average prices of San Jose then the median prices of the US. I also don't think it is close which of those sources is better data.

I'm working with the data I have. Would I like it to be better? Yes.

I also happen to be able to afford to live in the city I live in. I happen to be one of the few in my generation that gets to own a home. I also think my home won't go up 12.5 times in value in my lifetime the way my parent's home did. I think society has its head buried in the sand about how real estate works and I think a reckoning is coming in the next 50 years because of metrics about what costs in hot markets will look like. People hate this message because people are overinvested in real estate to the point where they have multiples of their net worth tied up in a house.

A phone is not enough, you need a desktop too, most of our issues where with WebGl , first they broke it on iOS and we put a check to detect the mobile devices and disable th ee WebGl feature and use a downgraded 2D version , later Apple decided to update iPads browser to pretend it is a desktop(probably to avoid some websites sending iPad users the mobile version) but this broke our detection and this people where getting the webGl feature that failed on iOS. We fixed this iPad issue but later Apple put on desktop same broken WebGl thing and now we had to detect all newer Safari versions and downgrade them all to the 2d slower and uglier thing.

I do not control the WegGl plugin I spoke of so I don't know the details why it broke, anyway we had the issues reported by customers because no developer in our team wants to use Apple stuff. I don't think the GNOME browser would have caught this WebGl issues since is probably related with Apple removing OpenGl support for their drivers.

> Your No annual fee credit card is costing you $700 a year

The title is inaccurate since it's not "your" card costing you $700/year. If you got rid of your card and switched to paying for everything in cash you'd still pay just as much, as the prices are the same and card fees aren't (usually) passed on to the customer, while losing the benefits you get from the card.

And of course going cash-only isn't a panacea, as cash is actually rather expensive for retailers to handle. Cash registers, counting & recounting, "shrinkage", secure storage on-site, transportation to & from a bank… it all adds up. Electronic payments are safer & cheaper to implement; we just need more competition to keep prices down.

The surprising thing to me is that the payment processors are blaming the prices increases on fraud control. Weren't the recent changes to chipped cards & contactless payments mostly aimed at making fraud more difficult by design and thus reducing the need for the more expensive anti-fraud measures?
