> It's not just hermits that live far from urban centers in the US. The US is famous for sprawling contiguous suburbs.

Sprawling suburbs can be, and often are, served by public transportation. The critical factor affecting the US approach to public transportation, which is purely ideological, is the neoliberal belief that public transportation services are only worth considering if they are provided by private corporations and only if they are profitable right from the start.

Meanwhile, in the rest of the world these services are either public or public-private partnerships, and subsidized with clear externalities in mind. For example, if I recall correctly the Tokyo subway network is operated by a few private companies which profit not by the direct exploration of their railway lines but from real estate investments coordinated by the expansion of their railway lines.

Consequently, we have european capitals which coordinate urban planning (i.e., where suburban sprawls can and cannot be built) with coverage of their public transportation services, including investing in extensions of subway lines to deserted places where medium- and high-density housing projects have been approved.

> Subway systems work well when people from the edges of a city to an urban center.

Subway is not a good example in discussions over public transportation in urban sprawls. The main purpose of subway networks is to enhance mobility within a urban area. Consequently, typically you see subway networks with subway stops at 500-800 meters and travel speeds of around 50km/h, which just happens to be slightly better than traveling by car. Park-and-ride stops are only another aspect of the main goal of eliminating car traffic within the city.

The standard strategy to serve urban sprawls with public transportation is to cover them with bus routes which feed into a high-throughput mass transport systems such as commuter rail or bus rapid transit, also serving as park-and-ride stations.

> suburban office parks -- this makes it difficult to effectively meet people's needs with an affordable hub-and-spoke model, because large numbers of people commute not to the urban center, but between adjacent suburbs

This is not true. I happen to have worked for a company located in a suburban office park which wasn't served very well by public transportation, but the office park itself organized bus services from one of the city's multimodal hub to the office park.

Also, this is so common and mundane that I know for a fact that even some Ikea stores in europe located in industrial districts offer free bus services connecting public transport hubs to them.

I actually disagree with your example. Taken ultra-literally, it could mean that 'I' was 'perched' and 'saw three black crows'. So I feel that 'crows black' was fine and French places adjectives after the word as standard. I have to rely on context to interpret the sentence, and that creates an iota of doubt which makes it read clumsily, or me read it clumsily. I think it's very nuanced and personal.
Great post/points. Really enjoyed your rebuttal.

Your version of the dispatcher really shows a simple and intuitive way to code without any explicit lifetimes or zero-alloc-shenanigans.
Uh, me. I worked at Amazon when this happened.
Energy expenditure shouldn't be wasted on frivolity and pyramid schemes like Bitcoin, first. Second, energy usage will increase - electricity usage in particular - in the coming decades. That doesn't have to come from fossil fuels. Nuclear, wind, solar and (to a lesser extent) hydro are all green, renewable, non-carbon energy sources that can easily get us everything we need. Ontario already does it! [1]

I don't know that the layperson sees them as interchangeable. Private, to me, merely says that the goal is for this to be for my eyes only. Secure tells me that they've gone to extra steps to ensure that that privacy is upheld.

It's like if someone has a private office versus a secure office. One is a room with a door on it, the other is a room with a security guard.
Yes, we will need a new social contract in the future.
> I don't see how it makes sense: the electricity has to be generated, which is almost always via burning something to heat a boiler. Then the electricity is sent to houses via the grid, which involves further losses. So you burn something, make heat, make electricity, send the electricity though wires, to make heat. Vs, just making heat directly in the house to accomplish the job.

This argument seems to assume that all power generation has equal impact on climate change, which clearly isn't true. Am I misunderstanding?

Decaf did quite well (although perhaps noisier due to smaller sample size).

I do wonder about some of those error bars and controls though. For example artificially sweetened coffee decaffinated at 1.5-2.5 cups per day seems to have a higher rate of death (1.11) - but artifically sweetened decaffinated at 3.5-4.5 cups has half the rate of death (0.52). By contrast black decaf at 3.5-4.5 per day does worse than that (0.66).

Anyway, if there's any significance to this, you're right that caffeine does not seem to play into it much in their stats.

That's saying nothing about the extreme amount of gas that will still be burned to heat the food now.

Gas being burned to heat something is way more efficient than gas being burned to turn turbines to make electricity to be transported hundreds of miles to a restaurant only to be used to heat coils at 1500 watts to boil water. I am guessing at least 15 times more gas would be used.
I believe my Samsung Chef Collection ($3300-ish range ~5 years ago) does indeed have PWM or similar sort of fine control.

Sonos publishes an email address for contacting CEO Patrick Spence "directly." [1]

I wrote an email drawing attention to a clunky process for reactivating a subscription to Sonos Radio HD that was cancelled because the credit card had been closed. (Forced to call in and speak to someone, couldn't reactivate it online.)

Sonos did revamp that process so you could reactivate a subscription online, but I never received a reply. I still like to think the few minutes I invested in writing that email saved many others dozens of minutes on hold with support.

So, uh... a several page breathless article about how people in the city have... roommates? Am I missing something?

Next week I expect an article about how they are shocked (SHOCKED!) that people in city don't have cars and take public transport.
My Pixel phone has 64 GB of internal storage. About half is filled with my local playlists, the other half is apps. This leaves little spaces for high resolutions photos and videos. Google's answer to this was to give everyone free unlimited original quality storage on Google Photos.

When my phone is full, a prompt appears to warn me about it and tells me to free up space. When I do this, it uploads all photos and videos to Google Photos.

Google Photos automatically sort the content. Clicking "People & Pets" displays a grid of thumbnails. All of those thumbnails are faces. For example, one of those faces is my mother. When I press on it, it shows all the photos available on my account. That's every photos/videos I have ever uploaded since having the service + every photos/videos I have uploaded to it since.

What's even weirder is that is also groups face of people in the background. There are people in there that live in my neighborhood. Apparently, some appear more than other. I can press the thumbnail of some blond stranger and apparently she is in 8 of my photos and one video. From that, I can gather what beer she likes, what coffee place she attends, etc.

No one is forced to use it but it is the convenient way to use the phones. Was the face-grouping technology in a legal disclaimer somewhere? Perhaps. Was I aware of this until years after I started using the service? No.

Oh dear. Much worse than I expected by unexpected breaking; and FSD (Fools Self Driving) is involved in these problems, once again putting the lives of the driver and others at risk on the road.

> Tesla has drawn scrutiny from safety advocates and regulators for its willingness to allow its customers to test what is essentially an unfinished version of a software product that Musk has long promised will lead to fully autonomous vehicles on the road.

Now here's a similar recent scenario with 'blockchain'.

Suppose an unfinished 'beta' blockchain with multi-billions at stake going down or gets hacked and the price falls, is the excuse 'it's beta software', 'sorry you lost your savings'? Hence if many users of FSD beta are putting their lives at risk or getting themselves killed over faulty safety-critical software, is the excuse also going to be 'It's beta software'? 'Sorry you lost your life, you knew the risks!'

It really sounds like a way to push all blame on to the driver rather than the developer, despite little to no protections to the users and screams more tighter regulations to rid of that public 'beta' responsibility with software that has an incredible amount of risks.

For the ACA, whether it's better for you or worse for you depends on what income bracket you're in, whether you have preexisting conditions, and what kind of health care your job previously offered.

Whether it's better or worse for the country is a complicated question that I don't have an answer to, and no one does. Because it's a nuanced answer, if you're being serious about quantifying "better". Unfortunately most people, across both political factions in the US, would rather adhere to their ideologies than think critically about things in this era.

Doesn't that omit the impact of natural gas on climate change?
I could be wrong, yes.

But why impossible? Take this example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof#Discrete_... - all parties exchange are essentially random numbers (which doesn't count as "additional information"), yet they establish the fact that Peggy knows x. There's that footnote about how r must be truly random, of course, but as long as everything's done right there is no additional information there whatsoever, only random noise.

Side note: one thing I certainly don't understand are NI-ZK - while I think I have some rough understanding of how interactive ZK proofs work - well, I mean, I've read Quisquater et al.'s "How to explain zero-knowledge protocols to your children" - but I'm pretty clueless how they manage to make such things non-interactive.

I don't understand what you mean. You seem to be implying that if a driver rear-ends you he can use his dash-cam to show you were at fault? Most places I've driven it is the following car's responsibility to maintain a safe distance which includes being able to stop if the car you are following suddenly stops. Yes, brake checking is a thing and could complicate any civil suit, but mechanical (now software) failure wouldn't be that.
> Sprawling suburbs can be, and often are, served by public transportation.

Very ineffective though, very limited hours, akward stops where you have to walking stretches with the sun beating down on you and the annoying unsettling noise of cars rushing past you on a main road, worst case the particular place they’re at doesn’t have sidewalk for a good stretch and they have to hug the grass line to stay out of the road and out of peoples yards.

I’ve lived in several small cities/large towns with primarily suburban areas, as well as highly sprawled MSAs and this describes any suburban bus system I’ve seen.
Hardware emulation can make the timings between multiple chips more accurate as processes actually can be done in parallel and in sync with a shared clock. This is harder to get perfect with software emulation. In theory.
They are faster to heat than gas since they can deliver all energy directly to the pan, whereas gas wastes ~75% of the energy heating the surrounding air. They boil water much faster than even an electric kettle for this reason.

Pot handles don't get hot from the hot air going up the side.

They are much easier to clean. Spills don't get burnt onto the cooktop.

There's no risk of fire or burning oneself.

No risk of a gas leak from bumping a knob.

No harmful pollutants emitted by combusting fossil fuels in an interior space.
> gas stoves vent toxic fumes into the house, run the risk of blowing your house up, and are inferior to induction stoves in almost every way.

Funny story and rather infamously, the researchers who studied the fumes from gas stoves almost immediately ripped out their gas stoves after the results came back from the studies. Several states are passing or have passed copy-paste laws, written by gas companies, making ripping out gas stoves cost a fee even if the gas company isn't ripping out the gas stoves themselves.
This doesn't give me nostalgia as much as it reminds me of the huge headaches of PC gaming during the late 90's. IRQ's, sound card settings that didn't always work, boot discs, not to mention verifying ownership with a color wheel, special glasses, or find a word in the manual.
The other problem is the public's unreasonable expectations about safety. Given the amount of radiation already emitted into the atmosphere by fossil fuels, a nuclear power plant meltdown cannot be considered to be a remarkable addition to that balance.

You could still XOR longer runs together, reducing the bitrate but mostly eliminating the bias.
Except humanity has a very incomplete picture here that suffers cognitive biases. Coal outputs way more cumulative radiation than nuclear, amongst all kinds of other issues, but it’s slow and a little bit at a time so people don’t go up in arms. One or two booms gets all the attention.

You cannot turn this behavior off persistently -- you need to open car settings and disable it every time you leave Park. My guess is that some jurisdictions mandate this behavior.

When this "feature" triggers you have a short window in which to do _something_ to tell the car that you are paying attention. Your options are either: accellerate or brake. If you do nothing the car may apply full brakes and bring you to a full stop, regardless what is behind you.

> Reports of “phantom braking” first surfaced last fall

This has been happening for much longer than that -- at least as early as Winter 2019, when I unintentionally brake checked a Prius after merging while going over 101 @ Rengstorf.
Most of the “driver aids” available today have the competency of a drunk or highly inexperienced driver. Just maintaining lane is a problem for all the systems I have had the opportunity to try. They are easily flummoxed by worn or moved lane lines (like you would see in a construction area). I view it as a definite upgrade over traditional cruise control, but it’s so far away from self driving it’s laughable to even think about.
To say nothing of the "inconvenience" to the driver who wasn't at fault but would have been assumed to be.
Except these situations followed the rules of our democracy. They were legal transfers of power.

That sounds good, but my question was (and I probably phrased it poorly), as a solo developer, why would I need to concern myself with resources associated with servers (compute, CPUs, MBs of RAM) on a serverless platform?

I could maybe see it in the sense if it's only applicable when Postgres is executing complex custom queries or whatever, but for any operation? That's a huge red flag, for me at least.

When I think of serverless, I think of things like Cloudflare Workers, FaunaDB, Ably.io, all of which have pricing based on the usage of their features, not the consumption of their resources. The whole point being that I can way more easily calculate how many messages my users are sending, than how much CPU all those messages are taking to send.

Maybe I'm operating on the wrong definition of serverless, and all of the other features look amazing, but that concept is really a dealbreaker.
