Art and Music and Technology Podcast Ends After 9 Years and 380 Interviews
This amazing music technology podcast is ending after nine years. The host, Darwin Gross, is a really good guy and was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer and is undergoing treatment. Sharing here for exposure and wishing Darwin all the best.
They removed the crosswalks because they were converting the intersection to a roundabout. You can see in the third photo that there's a circle painted in the middle of the intersection. This had apparently been planned long before the crosswalk was added.

Roundabouts generally make streets safer for pedestrians as they slow the flow of traffic. However, when you add a roundabout, you need to displace the crosswalks a few feet away from the intersection because otherwise the crosswalk leads pedestrians directly into the path of traffic.

Here is what the intersection looks like now:

It would be nice if Step 1 of the how-to guide was to check with the city to see what it's plans are first. But I guess that wouldn't be as cool.
That's the beauty of this project. By law, every intersection in California is a crosswalk regardless of whether or not there is any paint. This new paint stands as a reminder to drivers but the driver would be at fault even if there were no markings on the road.
It doesn't require anal sex, it requires prolonged skin-on-skin contact. The factor that makes gay men overrepresented among the current cases is likely to be the number of different sex partners, plus possibly a higher rate of detection because that community has been on high alert for a few days now.
>Happiness is a superficial emotion

A google definition of superficial is "appearing to be true or real only until examined more closely."

I don't see how the definition of a type of emotion can be "superficial". Presumably your usage of "happy" in quotes is not actually happiness if you decided to put it in quotes. If you meant it as him actually being happy then someone could decide to be sad for him but that has nothing to do with his own happiness. Instead it would just be someone arrogantly projecting their own sensibilities and worldview onto the fortnite player while thinking they know better sources of happiness (when really the causes are subjective and every person derives varying levels of joy in different ways).

Making kids a "point of life" can itself be seen as a last ditch effort to be happy. The thought that there's some purpose in life that points to procreating is arbitrarily chosen and is seemingly that way because people derive happiness from some idea of having a legacy or finding comfort in interpreting the potential continuous spread of dna as some proxy for immortality

I don't think the second statement is true at all. At least I've never had a discussion with a Google employee who expressed that. My opinions come from watching my friends and family who are not techies (by profession or inclination) navigate the web. It's not that AMP is great or anything, it's that most web pages now really suck.

I think people really underestimate the extent to which Google (like all giant companies) is a collection of really separate organizations. I don't know any more about or have any closer attachment to AMP than any other nerd that uses the internet.

I just think it is the best of the bad solutions to the out of control slow bloat problem with web pages now (and for quite awhile).

How to make deeper research for your next job opportunity and decrease your chance to be part of a layoff (with an example)
Very easily.

Crosswalks are designed to create reasonable expectations where peds can cross a roadway safely.

They are designed to channelize ped crossings to specific areas which are safer to cross - so for example with good sightlines, with appropriate stop markers with good speeds (slower). Crosswalks are often combined with other traffic calming measures (stop signs, stop lines at the right distance, road narrowing features, tree clearing etc).

For example, they are recommending adding these at "dangerous" intersections. So for example, a crossing that occurs just after a bend (we have one near my house). This is pretty horrifying, because by encouraging peds to cross where there is a bend blocking sightlines, those peds are at MUCH greater risk of injury or death.

Similarly, speeds over 40mph, you wouldn't generally do a a painted x-walk. Similarly multilane without appropriate controls. For example, they have a crosswalk painted 6 inches from a stop line. In a road with 2 lanes of traffic, you can't have have stopline that close or no stopline, because the car in lane 2 or 1 does not have enough of a sightline to see that a pedestrian is crossing and so the risks go way up if you attract pedestrians to cross in that situation (a car will generally be shielding the view when they stop that close).

The list goes on. In short, by painting crosswalks at "dangerous" intersections (high speeds, poor sightlines, etc) you attract pedestrian crossings there. This will get folks killed.

If a city did this, they might be sued for violating guidelines on crosswalk placement. What they normally would do is evaluate a bunch of things, then do OTHER things to increase safety at the crossing (lots of things), THEN paint the crosswalk.

Why do these guys get a free pass to kill people for an ego trip?

> The slavers wanted to conquer the west with slaves to stay relevant.

Yes, I believe that's why they rejected the Corwin Amendment compromise, which would have allowed them to keep slavery in states that already had it. That deal didn't allow them to use slaves in the west, so they didn't like it.
Let me introduce you to my friend Java.
As long as they can sued and bankrupted for the fatalities they cause by doing this I'm fine with that.

However, if they want to start messing with roadways and won't accept responsibility I'm not.

As to the driver always being at fault, obviously that is incorrect and often particularly so in what are considered "dangerous" intersections. In fact, the pedestrian may have to pay the driver in some cases even if they are the ones seriously injured and the driver was not.

Electrify America charging network to be 100% solar by 2023
Especially when using Mikrotik or Ubiquiti routers where you have to be very careful to not select an option that disabled hardware offload. Last I checked enabling bandwidth logging, various firewall rules, or QoS disabled the hardware offload.

Generally CPU is more about PPS than bandwidth, any of this 4000 or 6000 series intel chips seem plenty for a few Gbit of home network loads that are generally gaming (FPS or minecraft), streaming (youtube, amazon, netflix), browser traffic, or plex.

Sure if you ran a game server with 10Gbit + and 100s or 1000s of clients it might die, but that's not a normal home traffic load.

It may be showing up there because a portion of gay men are quite promiscuous. (Sorry, I'm not sure how to put it politely, even as a gay man.) There's not really a heterosexual equivalent to the gay sauna/bathhouse. It has shown up in populations of men who have attended such gay venues, as in the Portugal and Spanish outbreaks. [1] This does not automatically imply it requires anal sex, or even particularly favours anal sex as a vector. Anal sex would obviously count as close contact, of course. But the massages, and hand-genital, and oral-genital contact common in such venues (more so than anal sex, probably) would fit the transmission profile of monkeypox, too.

Warren de la Rue demonstrated the first incandescent light in 1820. He used a platinum filament. He had the right idea - use a filament of a metal with a really high melting point. But platinum was too expensive. After a long detour through Edison's carbonized paper filaments, General Electric figured out how to make fine tungsten wire. High melting point tungsten wire was the basis of a century of light bulbs.

Making tungsten wire wasn't easy. Cast tungsten is brittle. There's a tricky powder metallurgy process which can produce ductile wire that can be coiled.

> by that logic the whole US was wrong for rebelling against England.

If we include in the north's logic the claim that secession was wrong for the southern states, then yes, one could argue that by the same logic it was wrong for the colonies to secede from Britain. Although there was a difference: the colonies had no effective representation in the British Parliament, they were just colonies, whereas the southern states were not colonies of the US, they were states and had the same representation in the US Congress as other states.
It’s a good idea in theory. I turned it off after I had amber alerts for people very far away and for missing children for years and was getting 1-2 per week.
similarly, I was just looking at functools.cached_property.. In the usual style of Python, it's a smart special case but not the same as the composition of @functools.cache and @property. Maybe it should have had a different name, for that reason, and the issue would be less prominent.
Fair! My mistake, a little less than half of the states seceded due to the problem I addressed of excessive force which you have not discredited or properly justified.

Again your second paragraph attacks a small technicality. Your saying destroying a run down building on a sandbar is the same as conquering a 32000 square miles? Or are you saying that ignoring the definitions found in all english dictionaries is null and void for this specific use case? Seperating from a definitional union is not a revolt.

> you mentally translate "I and also I saw some comments some times" into "90+% of everyone here"

First of all I said 90% of people here who are interested in a small Android phone, not 90% of everyone here.

Second, I feel you're trying to make me feel like I've gone insane and can't trust my own eyes by pretending that threads about the lack of a headphone jack don't routinely make the front page here [1] [2] [3] and that comments about the lack of a headphone jack don't routinely become the highest voted comments in any thread related to phones.

I don't think your point about iPhone sales holds any water, because you could just as easily show that people buy phones that have headphone jacks. The 12 mini is a smaller phone than the 12, so you could argue that some people who don't care about the size of their phone might be preferentially buying the mini! There's no way to make an airtight argument for either a headphone jack or a small phone as someone arguing on a forum, but I believe there are a lot of people who want both.

Moreover, my argument is that the removal of the jack was not done for any engineering reason, but for profit and aesthetics. Even if you are right that 50% of people would use a headphone jack instead of 90%, that's still a perfectly legitimate reason to include one.

For one thing they are a lot heavier and more expensive than plant fibers.

But the average lifespan of iron says very little about how long it would last as a bag like this. Rust like many things occurs on the surface, combine friction between the links with lots of surface area and it’s not going to last anything like 100 years.

Just because the semiconductor's productivity gains have been massive on a short term time horizon, does not mean that fusion research has been a waste, or that is not on track to "deliver". Fusion as a technology is a long term bet and requires much more capital expenditure, for little short term return, then even semi fabs (which are notorious capital sinks).

Your mention of cost justification is ignoring the bigger picture that our economic system is setup to benefit public companies like Intel, and not grand research endeavors.

As an exercise to the reader, imagine what organizations/companies would exist if the contemporary economic incentive structures were different.

No they really don't. This is an idea pushed by sociopaths who are somewhere between trash and downright dangerous. They can't date older women because older women spot their bullshit a mile away and steer clear.
> Imagine for a moment if FB and Google took all their developers and resources...

It's a nice thought exercise, but of course not realistic. FAANGs wouldn't be able to attract or retain the talent if they were purely in scientific medical research (where do you think those fancy offices and fat paychecks comes from?).

Having said that, it doesn't have to be either/or. I strongly believe that companies can be successful in balancing between thriving commercial businesses and using its profits to advance research that can benefit the society at large. Case in point: Google's DeepMind has for years published groundbreaking work in various areas including breast cancer research [1], protein folding [2], energy savings and climate change [3], and more. Also Calico [4], or its investments in health startups via GV, and of course all the well known services to users.

What I'd like to see is more companies following a path where a portion of its profits is used to fund research in areas that can cause societal change for the better (which, in its turn, may eventually became new sources of revenue down the road - e.g. protein folding, self-driving cars).

> There's no constitutional provision for allowing kidnapping and enslaving individuals.

If you want to argue that the explicit Constitutional provision about fugitive slaves (Article IV, Section 2, last clause) is inconsistent with other provisions of the Constitution, you can try to make that argument. But just claiming that the Constitution doesn't allow fugitive slaves to be returned to their owners, and calling doing so "kidnapping" without any supporting argument, when the Constitution has an explicit provision that requires fugitive slaves to be returned to their owners, is nonsense. You can't just ignore parts of the Constitution you don't like.

I've encountered enough, neigh too many odd ducks IRL who come across this way and experientially, they've been "Homer Car" types every single time.

That's somewhat fair, but I did only have two criticisms, so I don't think I quite fit the homer car stereotype (although give it a few decades, and I'm sure I'll be "old man [yelling] at cloud") The rest... I couldn't critique, because we don't really have a solid spec.

Right now I'm using a laptop with 16GB of soldered on RAM; it's not the upgradability there that really concerned me, but rather the fact that they advertised 16GB as a solid selling point. 16GB these days, while respectable, isn't an impressive number. Advertising it as your base, without mentioning upgradability, seems a little out of touch. I don't use much memory myself, I'm a VIM user, and I avoid anything overly heavy, but I have colleagues who could make could use of that RAM.

As for the screen, that does come down to preference, to an extent. But, it's 2022, why has screen quality stagnated at FHD? HiDPI should have been standard half a decade ago.
They most likely do.

Think about e.g. ranking in their search/recommendation engine. To be able to train ranking ML models, you would need to at least track the views, clicks, purchases, etc. done through their platform. For each search, you want to keep the query string and the results items ids.

Let's say, very conservatively, they have 1000 qps on average. We're talking about 100 of millions of events a day.
Machine learning will generally swallow as much RAM as you can throw at it, assuming you're not just using a nvidia coprocessor with its own memory (and even in that case, you have to keep it fed).

You must be joking. Pushing for states' rights by southern states goes back at least all the way to the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions in the late 1790s, and arguably was an important topic for them at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Relying on Wikipedia as your source on a topic like this is not a good idea.

Do you have examples of pedestrians crossing at a crosswalk (which these intersections already are; just not painted ones), and not against the signal, getting successfully sued by a driver that hits them?
