I was specifically talking to their statement of "local traffic distances". Is >200mi "local traffic distances" to you? That's a long drive to me. "Local traffic distances" to me means maybe 60 miles round-trip, max. Most EV's can handle "local traffic distances" without having to stop and recharge.

> Similarly, for the sake of argument, I could keep a gas pump in my garage to fill up at night, which would mean I had "0 minutes of downtime" as well.

You literally couldn't unless you were massively wealthy or lived on a farm or something along those lines. You probably wouldn't be able to secure the permitting to have that much gas on site at small residential lot. It would also be a pretty big headache managing the gas delivery contracts for such a small amount. It would be a huge hassle getting it delivered to your home. Realistically, you couldn't get as much convenience at your home assuming you lived in a statistically average suburban/urban single family home.

Meanwhile all it took for my EV was to install an outlet, <$200. No crazy permitting, no massive storage tanks storing hazardous liquids, no managing additional delivery contracts needing to get big fuel trucks to pull up near the house to deliver gas, no EPA inspections for that storage tank, etc.
Also, „common“ should be translated to „üblich“ instead of „gemeinsam“. „Gemeinsam“ is more like „collective“ as in „a collective effort“.
I, and probably many others, would pay a lot of money for this...
That’s a political problem not a scientific problem.

No one wants to tax rich people who are of the age to have benefited from an era of high taxes. We let them pull the ladder up behind them.

There is no real reason to follow their orders or coddle their sensibilities. What are they going to do? Instigate a civil war from their Lay Z Boy? 60-70% of the population want to reverse their political policies across the spectrum of contexts. Just do it.
A plausible theory is people who CANT drink coffee, or dont drink as much, have health issues that often prevent them from drinking coffee...
Defund doesn't mean zero. Defund means -10%, -20%, -50%. I think many police departments could certainly use a haircut. When you get stopped and 6 cops show up, it's because they have nothing to do.

EDIT: Wow, I didn't think a rational person would think defund meant completely getting rid of police. There are plenty of examples of where defund doesn't mean 100%. During the Reagan administration, the federal government greatly defunded state colleges and universities. Politicians talk about defunding medicare. People talk about defunding the military. To get states to adopt the minimum drinking age of 21, they threatened to defund highway federal highway funding. None of these are 100% removal of funding.
To quote "Stephen Colbert" (in character): "Reality has a well-known liberal bias." If you discuss racism as existing, it's liberal. If you discuss homophobia as existing, it's progressive. If you discuss the income gap, it's socialist. If you discuss gun fatalities, it's communist (somehow). It's literally impossible to discuss any social issue in the news in the context of non-white or non-male perspective without being called any sort of those phrases.

We don't want quality. We want dopamine.

Dopamine mattered less in the paper age, with the exception of the frontpage headline, but not even that mattered as most people had a subscription. Once this paper is in your possession, it frankly doesn't matter much which articles you decide to read, it's a package deal. Interestingly, and this behavior is important, you'd probably read a few articles you weren't super enticed to read, but you'll read them anyway since you paid for them. And thus your world view expands across topics, organically and almost accidentally.

That package deal is now cut up into tweet-like snacks, where each snack needs to entice you to read it. Unfortunately those playing on our weaknesses work best.

A cute cat performs better than a breakthrough paper on climate science.

Updates on the Kardashians outperform...anything.

Bad news outperforms good news.

Naturally, news adjusts to whatever people read the most. Which wasn't needed before (to this extreme degree), but it is now. Even very competent journalists that write excellent articles need to go on Twitter and with screenshots package the most triggering paragraph of the article, otherwise nobody will read it.

The other tragedy is the demise of truth or accuracy. As this doesn't matter on social media. The unreasonables always win and things move fast.
The latest word is that this is where the previous idea about a cup of wine a day being good for you came from (it's not). Studies pursuing this question generally did not sufficiently control for the fact that people regularly drinking alcohol are in a state of health where they can regularly drink alcohol. It's not as easy to control for as it sounds because somebody might defer for reasons tied to possible health issues, but without even knowing it. Instead, just like you're talking about here simply not liking how it makes them feel.

Alternately, if you find yourself in the situation where you were not born rich then that should influence your strategy. Apply the Kelly criterion and carefully make a number of appropriately sized bets based on your currently available capital. Don't dump 20 years of savings into anything, but carefully build up investments over time.

Measuring your net worth against those born rich is a fools errand, but you can definitely make your children have a better shot against their children. True wealth is almost never built up in a single generation, despite the fairy tales about the "American Dream" that we tell our children.

Not too surprised - Angular seems more "enterprise-y", and I have a feeling Who's Hiring mostly attracts startups. (well, YC is a VC that primarily does seed funding, after all, so there's not much surprise that it attracts startups and people interested in startups)
When commenting about contentious topics like this, IMO you should try to be as inclusive as possible. Slavery has harmed people of all complexions and it creates unnecessary divisions when you discard the trauma of so many people who have suffered under it.
Yes, that is the law. A nanny I employed in CA had put her two weeks in with us, then the last day of work she no-showed last minute. With two working parents you can imagine how well that was received. Anyhow, I told her to not come finish out her last day. So then she applies for unemployment a few weeks later. I got a notice from EDD and responded to it with the facts around her unemployment request, thinking surely they will deny her. There should have been two flags on her request: 1 - she quit, 2 - she no-showed the last day. It was processed and she was granted 26 weeks.

I think they are so overwhelmed at EDD that her request was just pushed along through the process. There are so many stories of fraud at EDD that you have to wonder how much time the claims processors are spending on each application.
> 171,616 people is a big cohort, mortality is clearly measurable, and the observed effect is really large.

This should be a criteria for posting studies in general - large cohort, controls for every known factor, clearly measurable outcome like all-cause mortality, and large observed effect.

There's no sexism until I see a study, and I'm not doing a study if there's no sexism. Doing a study at all when there are no previous studies would be a clear case of anti-male bias.
Good marketing in this space is also about leading by example and eating your dog food.

Facebook used React internally before releasing it. Every new web front-end at Meta is written in React. They also had a convincing story of how the runtime expands beyond the web (React Native etc.)

With Angular, you’d be hard-pressed to name a Google service built using it. It seems to be a framework created condescendingly for the ordinary others, not the Mountain View geniuses themselves. That’s not great marketing.
I'm curious, it seems to me like the stated objections to CouchDB's approach aren't that bad, at least for quite a few use cases:

- Client optimistically goes to POST a JSON document. If new, there is no _id field included.
- If there is no conflict, it's fine.
- If there is a conflict, the server tells the client this. The client can try again, including the _id field of the current document version.

Could the CRDT process not be applied on the client looking to make an update? Or at least on the server side, where the client says, "OK, I've included the current _id, please merge my version"?

I have not attempted personally to use this at scale, but had prototyped a tool for small-scale collaboration on a project that seemed to function "well enough." No CRDT merging, but then there was no expectation of typically trying to work on the same sentence simultaneously. This was basically as a client/project assessment tool; any given project would start from taking a copy of a template DB on the server, then syncing and updating from that. From there, any sort of local-first changes were trivial, and easily synced back to the central location when back online.
Was following CNN on Twitter in 2008, out of an old habit mostly. Then it was only breaking news feed, and they were posting mostly relevant things. One day they posted something about Britney Spears there and then again. Stopped either watching or following CNN from that point on. Lots of good news sites were still at that time like BBC (which took the same path as CNN in later years) and still follow Reuters and Al Jazeera.

Really hope CNN one day will become a news source, like CNN International that is a joy to watch when traveling outside of the USA and Canada (at least it was the last time I watched a few years ago). Will follow CNN once Harry and Meghan or some pop stars will not appear in the headlines for at least a year.
> How would open borders in a country be necessarily beneficial to people in the country?

The benefits of immigration have been addressed many places. It works fine in Europe. The point is not to open only one countries borders though, but all of them, because that's what's really in everyone's interest.

> Are you presuming that if Country A opens its borders, all other countries will?

No, I'm not presuming, I'm saying that's what is in everyone's interests to advocate for.

> And, considering first world countries and the countries from which people who would benefit from borders being open, is it likely that conditions in the first world countries will degrade

The point is to help people, which is not free. Anyway, you should think about what makes such degradation possible in the first place. If things would be more equal otherwise, then clearly borders are exploitative in the first place. In any case, everything would reach an equilibrium in the end. It'd be a free market of location.

The worst thing about Angular is that it obfuscates the web....
> However, none of the variants using vmsplice (i.e., all but the slowest) are safe. When you gift [1] pages to the kernel there is no reliable general purpose way to know when the pages are safe to reuse again. [snip] This will show up as race conditions and spontaneously changing data where a downstream consumer sees the page suddenly change as it it overwritten by the original process.

That sounds like a security issue - the ability of an upstream generator process to write into the memory of a downstream reader process, or more perverser vice versa is even worser. I presume that the Linux kernel only lets this happen (zero copy) when the two processes are running as the same user?
> I'm saying make the better, more accurate, argument.

I do not believe that expending a ton of energy every block regardless of the number of transactions on it means that it's unreasonable or inaccurate to criticize the energy usage in terms of the number of transactions that it on-average supports through that energy expenditure.

I get into this below, but pretty much any system that expends energy to perform a task can be made to act like Bitcoin and expend constant energy regardless of usage by just leaving it running all the time. Doing that doesn't get rid of the "how much energy per-transaction is Bitcoin using" question.

I guess some people have taken issue with the car analogy, so I'll use another: If I leave my shower running 24/7, does that mean that the amount of water I use divided by the number of showers I take is no longer relevant to conversations about my water usage and whether my showering system is water-efficient? No, of course those questions are still relevant, leaving the shower on constantly just makes those numbers really bad for me.

Or yet another analogy, if you're doing math on whether to keep an Amazon Prime subscription, how do you determine if the subscription is worthwhile? Typically, you would add up the number of things you order, and you might say something like, "I'm on average with my current usage paying <subscription cost>/<orders> dollars per-order for same-day delivery using Amazon Prime." And if Amazon jumped in and said, "no, that metric isn't applicable because you'll still pay the same amount with a different number of orders", we would pretty much all recognize that as a bad argument.

Bitcoin has a maximum block size. The fact that in theory people could transact more or less isn't really relevant to the cost/benefit calculation that we're doing right now. Yes, in theory Bitcoin could have max block sizes of 500mb instead of a single megabyte. But it doesn't.

So with the numbers we have now, it is reasonable to say that each Bitcoin transaction cost us 2.5 months worth of household power, even if Bitcoin would have used that power anyway. If the volume of transactions went down, the numbers would be even worse. Bitcoin is currently a system where we can collectively as a society get ~7 transactions per second at the cost of 2.5 months worth of household power for each transaction. I think that phrasing and critique is entirely accurate, and I don't think that the details of the blockchain change anything about that critique or its implications.

Particularly when Bitcoin's energy usage is often compared against much larger financial systems as a way of excusing its excesses, it is entirely appropriate to point that Bitcoin is currently much less efficient than those systems. And breaking things down and looking at the amount of energy per transaction is a reasonable way of determining the network's current efficiency.
So which way do you want it then? Multiculturalism, with all the "nonsense" that comes from those cultures, or do you just want every brown person to come to america and start acting white?

I thought one of the big benefits of multiculturalism (that all big businesses love to tout) is how it brings diversity of cultural values to the workplace. Well I guess mission accomplished because now you've got the indian caste system in the workplace.

It all went downhill once we decided ICs should not only take care of the bureaucracy, but also adapt to supporter roles rather than the other way around. I won't rail against the usefulness of soft skills, but requiring almost every IC to be a well-spoken social butterfly just seems lazy in the face of the ridiculous number of supporting roles.

Ideally it'd be more 50/50 (help-me-help-you kind of deal), but right now it feels incredibly one-sided at most places.
People can be equal before the law without being equal before a pole vault.
Funny how often these seem to follow the same storyline.

People calling for more democracy remain intentionally pacifist in face of oppression from tyrants, a small rebel group decides to do something rash, turns out the person pushing it along was on the payroll. They're captured/killed/imprisoned and the corrupt, unelected government continues merrily on it's way.

edit to add:

Some of these same people had been tried for high treason as a result of riots, and got acquitted because the star government witness was an undercover spy who had been the organising committe of the event and had regularly incited treasonous acts.

And then the exact same thing happened again? Including a government spy as second in command of the plot. That's a heck of a coincidence.

Spa Field Riots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spa_Fields_riots

> Watson was tried first and the hearing took over a week. The chief prosecution witness was Castle, who had been on the organising committee for both meetings. Hunt appeared as a defence witness and accused Castle of trying to make him commit treasonable acts on at least two occasions.[14] Defence counsel exposed previous instances where Castle had entrapped others into committing crimes and, without naming him as a spy, presented him to the jury an agent provocateur.[5] The jury accepted the defence's case and Watson was found Not Guilty. No further evidence was presented against the other defendants and they were also acquitted.

> The riots marked the start of a period of mass anti-government meetings, marches and riots, including the march of the Blanketeers (March 1817), the Pentrich rising (June 1817) and the Peterloo Massacre (August 1819) and ending only after the failure of the Cato Street Conspiracy (February 1820).[4]

And then the exact same thing happened again in Scotland?

This was essentially my primary motivation for writing `cheat`. The `man` pages are thorough, but often lack examples demonstrating the common use-cases.

I keep on thinking that someday I'm going to want to take a multi-month sabbatical from the internet; being able to keep on using Illustrator to draw stuff during this time is going to require finding a crack for it, as well as for the suite of plugins I depend on. Possibly a polite inquiry to the plugin developers will reveal the existence of a secret long-term offline mode available to people who've been helpful parts of the beta program for a while, or spur the creation of one, but I sure do not expect Adobe to cut me any slack despite being a paid user since the beginning of their subscription mode, nor do I expect them to release an official crack as one of their last acts before closing their doors forever.

Are you comparing a senior FAANG software engineer to the mean salary of all doctors in the country? Because that’s a cherry pick.
The 11 in 1 screwdriver is fantastic and pretty inexpensive ($15?). Sturdy and has a nice heft to it. I was helping my mom around Christmas time fix something on her RV and had to use her Phillips screwdriver to do it. It was some no name cheap thing that barely held on to the screw and was in general awful to use. On the way home I swung by Home Depot and picked up the Klein and gave it to her for Christmas(along with other things of course).

Would we be ever able to conduct such a study? We'd need to have clones bred for that purpose since birth in exactly the same conditions - and even if we had that, you'd never be sure it would transfer well onto people living free lives. So, these weak observational studies are all we have.
Inflated revenues do not show gouging - they show increased costs to sellers.

Inflation alone will increase the numerical value of revenues and profits.

Gouging implies sellers are making significantly more than they used per same amount of sales.

So to demonstrate gouging you should demonstrate increased profit/revenue. I have looked at multiple industries main players, and find no evidence of this (as has many economists).

Again, does anyone have solid evidence for this claimed "gouging" in some sector other than opinions?
