>BTW they've either been without that road for 40 years, or moved there knowing the situation.

Is patently false. It's not "think of the children." It's pointing out that statement was a vicious lie. I'm pointing out they've simply ignored the people who were born there.

We're talking about a road connecting two closest communities. You've said yourelf you wouldn't do the things to remove these residents from these communities. I would find it hypocritical for someone to take advantages of roads in their own community while denying this community a single road to the closest airport to the kind of medical services that those in the lower 48 can drive to (even if it takes them awhile).
> people shouldn't be allowed to upgrade their infrastructure ever?

In a wilderness area? No.
Because most areas have few or no public buses.
I had the exact same response. Its hard to keep track of which chat apps google has killed and which are still alive.
Agreed. Scott Rozelle's _Invisible China_ is very much worth a read on this topic.

The author is not a China hater - far from it. But he lays out in sobering detail the substantial demographic challenge they still face and why they may not escape what is known as at the middle income trap. If anything, I came away with the understanding that while many fear a rising China, it is a China that stumbles that can be more worrisome.
The Google Engineer Who thinks their AI LamDa has come to Life
Right, but my point is, financial interest for thousands of scientists is different from financial interest of a book author. A book and a peer-reviewed research paper are not the same. While not perfect, there are far more safeguards around money corrupting science than for a book.
The Japanese government, in step with their private industry, created a self fulfilling prophecy through an internal campaign painting hydrogen as the future. Their insistence on hydrogen makes a lot more sense when you consider that Japanese politicians have been making big promises around the technology in the domestic market.

Oops, lol.
Apple creates new products. Google acquired and kills products. Which would you rather spend time watching? Seems self-evident.
I always saw cars / roads as the great equaliser in the cities ... I lived in Sydney for a while where there were a couple of traffic snare points that were unavoidable, no matter your position in life. The Sydney Harbour bridge is one that comes to mind. There would be incidents all the time that would briefly close the bridge and you'd have execs in their batmobiles bumper to bumper with sparkies in their ford transits, nowhere to go and nothing to do. There was literally no way short of commandeering a helicopter that would get you over that bridge faster than the next bozo. Unless you wanted to slum it on public transport or a bike.

No, there are countless shocking cases of police showing up for things like a child was playing in the front yard unattended while the parent was inside and in some cases the child was taken from the parent due to this “abuse”.

Allowing a 13 year old to walk to a bus stop would be extremely high risk for having police called.
> UUIDs have a few distinct advantages: you'll never run out

I'm curious what kind of applications are limited by the range of bigint values? I have no doubt that such applications exist somewhere, but most software engineers won't ever come close to encountering those limits. Even if you have a table that is consistently consuming a billion (with a B) bigint id values _every second_ (is that even feasible with current hardware and RDBMS software?) you won't run out for almost 300 years.
They are not stupid they are shallow.
You can get a 4K monitor for ~$300 now - or significantly less if you shop deals. I spent that much on a super basic FHD display in 2016. Costs seem to be dropping pretty well even with inflation and the supply chain mess.
Haven't encountered that, but I only use 1 PC for tagging.
>completely redesign

That is quite the hyperbole.

>for the purpose of making sure teens get a bit more sleep

Add to that the time and resources wasted by millions of parents daily driving around instead of doing something economically productive, something that keeps them healthier, or just anything that doesn't cause environmental damage. And the fact that this is just one small instance of a much bigger issue affecting most people (anyone regularly commuting or using services within or near cities) to some degree. It's obviously not the most important issue out there right now, but it is a whole lot of wasted time and effort that could be eliminated, and you could probably even do it gradually without implementing any sudden sweeping changes.
For the minority of people getting dropped off early, provide a before school care program.
I think I've worked it out. They detect VPN/proxies, where there are plenty of libraries to do so.

So I tried creating a VPS in the same city as them last night, used freakin' lynx on a terminal so sans-Javascript, and lo and behold, still detected that I wasn't in their country :/
in some places in the US it’s actually illegal to leave you kid unsupervised if they’re under 12, it’s pure insanity

Texting was free-ish (unlike in Europe, which is why WhatsApp & Co were so successful there but not in the US), but I think Multimedia messaging or some other extra features either cost money or didn't work outside of iMessage.
The day Google will fix its killing product policy, I may invest time and money on them.
You may consider encoding the uuid in base58 as it is shorter, safe to use in URLs, and easier to debug as it doesn't use characters that can be confused such as 0, 0, I, and l.

Pretty much the same. It's like everything is exactly backwards. High school was brutal. I should have started school at 11 AM. Now, I absolutely get my best work done between 5 AM and noon.

University labs were always 8 AM, so wasn't much of a choice to try to do later, especially in the first two or three undergrad years. Even at that age, it was still a struggle. Why not night lab? Surely there's a doctoral student willing to attend to some freshmen doing reactions at 8 PM, right?

> I feel like texting was unlimited by the time iMessage became prominent. […] In fact, the exact opposite is what I think happened. Texting was unlimited in the US

No I don’t think this is accurate. I remember US cell providers charging for text message when iMessage was released. iMessage mattered to me initially, and I did use iMessage WiFi texting to avoid SMS charges and overages. Here’s an article from 2013 (two years after iMessage started) talking about telcos deciding to stop charging. https://www.computerworld.com/article/2486212/at-t--t-mobile... Don’t forget that at the time there was a big distinction between SMS and MMS (anything longer than 160 chars, anything with images, movies or audio, etc.

I have no doubt that WhatsApp, in addition to iMessage, contributed to the telcos realizing that charging for messaging was no longer a good idea. But messaging was not effectively unlimited before iMessage came around.
It definitely matters. It definitely kills the illusion of sentience if in the middle of a conversation the AI said something completely nonsense and silly that gives a peak at its flaws.

Think of it like Turing test. If during the 15m, the bot suddenly said something completely stupid, it would very easily fail the test. The illusion is only kept if it can always speak at a human level.

It was the same for me in the US in the 1970s. I rode the bus to school from first grade. Yes my parents were home in the morning and helped me get ready but I walked to the bus stop in the morning and back home in the afternoon.

This notion that parents have to hover over kids and make sure they "get on the bus" is quite recent.

You are right of course, it does suggest at a minimum that Christianity did not at all times and in all places where it held sway entirely suppress scientific progress. And in fact I believe that some Christian societies could be rather conducive to science within certain limits.

My point is that for most of recorded European history, professing Christian beliefs was the default. Straying too far from Christian ways would have required considerable intellectual effort and have been socially and economically costly. So there should be little wonder that many great European scientists were Christians.

But I don't think the historical facts can be used to draw strong conclusions about scientific or anti-scientific thinking in the population of Christians living in modern secular democracies, as the context is very different.
Seeming likely that they will follow the ECB in this direction at this point.
Read Carter's amicus brief

https://www.cartercenter.org/resources/pdfs/amicus-brief-jim...

Carter's argument: Regardless of any facts surrounding the purpose of a road, the 1980 ANILCA did not authorise (Trump's) Secretary of the Interior to review and permit development in refuges on an ad-hoc basis, via section 2192(h)(1) land exchanges. A majority of a three-member panel of the Court of Appeals got it wrong. The Court needs to reconvene, en banc.

"But the decision of the panel majority in this case rests on a grave misunderstanding of the fundamentals of this vital law. In enacting ANILCA, Congress did not, as the decision concluded, vest the Secretary with discretion to decide whether lands like the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge should be retained in their natural state or whether the economic and social benefits of road-building or other development outweigh the ecological and subsistence harms that such activities would inflict.

That is precisely what ANILCA disallowed when it expressly designated particular lands for conservation and subsistence, legislative decisions that carry corresponding, enduring protections. Those designations were not based on the assumption that these lands lacked economic value. Just the opposite: ANILCAs framers and supporters knew there would forever be claims, often advanced by organized and well-financed interests, that they should be put to immediate use for local economic development and other purposes. Valuable benefits to the Nation as a whole, to subsistence users, and to future generations would fare poorly in an ad hoc balancing."

Carter is 97 years old.

Every comment suggesting it brings browsers closer to feature parity with apps is a great argument against the feature. Browsers aren't operating systems. Stop trying to make them be that. It has been a terrible disaster so far, and likely will continue to be going forward, given the lingua franca of development in browsers and all the terrible development practices that have grown up around it.
>"consensus" here is an appeal to avoid individual responsibility. Embrace the possibility of being wrong (or right) on your own.

The problem with hyper-individualism is that some systems only work if everyone is bought in (either willingly or by force). You can't have public schooling without forcing those without kids to pay; and therefore you need people without kids to pay taxes to send kids to school. Likewise you can't build a corporation without achieving some kind of consensus with the people in your organization.

That was the problem with COVID. Lockdowns were effectively meaningless if they couldn't be enforced. On a global scale this meant that someone in China who "embraced the possibility of being wrong (or right) on your own" could fly to Italy and wipe out 100,000 people.
Lithium batteries aren't an energy source either. This isn't a comment for or against either system but it's an odd criticism.
> I thought Apple's app store would be a complete flop because I couldn't imagine any developers being willing to allow someone else to being an arbite

I used to think the same way in my younger days, but I realize over time that it's easier to just focus on your core business / competencies, and "outsource" what isn't directly relevant to your work to someone else who can handle it better. Even if it means paying for a service. Basically the exact opposite of NIH (Not Invented Here) syndrome.

I'm guessing this is why developers are happy with using the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for hosting apps, Stripe etc for payments, GSuite or hosted SaaS for most of their daily work etc.

His free 7 day email guide is a good introduction imo (if i remember right, it was 1.5 years ago for me after all). You might also prefer the wiki, which is more seriously written: https://wiki.endmyopia.org/wiki/EndMyopia_Wiki
We lived right on the border with the neighboring school district, so I was one of the first kids on the bus. The school was only fifteen minutes away but my bus ride was 45-50 minutes one way, and the bus got to the school with 10 minutes to spare before the first period.

So maybe not typical but definitely believable for me. There are probably some kids in almost every district that have to get on the bus an hour before school starts.
It's easier than this, the waste can be burned in the new generators.

Even if he was incompetent as President, he is a good man and nothing can change that.He has done a lot of good over the years as a citizen and it is fair to applaud him for that. He hasn't been President for 42 years so it is time to let that go and just appreciate a great American that he is.
If done right, this is a good thing.

Communism gets a weird pass on its sins, which are serious and many. I remember being at a social event an some grad student had a cheeky shirt with Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Castro, Mao, et al. wearing pointy party hats, blowing into noise makers, surrounded by confetti. Underneath the scene it said, "Communist Party", a very clever little play on words.

I couldn't help wondering how this was a socially acceptable thing given that Communism is responsible for an untold amount of human suffering in the 20th century, with some estimates citing a 7 or 8-figure death toll. Brutal. Now imagine for a second that instead of the scene described above, you had a shirt with Hitler, Goebbels, and Eichman throwing confetti, wearing birthday party hats, and blowing noise makers.
Jimmy was a terrible President. He's still a very good man, and I admire him, and would love to have him over for dinner!
There's no doubt what Lambda does is insanely impressive, being able to have any conversation that lasts more than a few lines is already a huge step forward. But yes, sentience to me requires a bit more long term persistence, like learning over weeks and months, not just being able to have a 5m conversation.
It depends on what you're using it for. Maybe it's the best for finding things like restaurants, looking up business hours, reviews, things like that. Basically a spatial view of points of interests. But as a map I find it very lacking, mainly because of their color scheme, but they're also missing data lite small roads, paths, small lakes. White roads on light gray is difficult to see, and overall it's very low contrast. Which is strange, because they have bragged multiple times of using ML to automatically classify areas and coloring them correctly, but it's only used when zoomed out.

In rural Northern California and across the continental USA there are huge, huge areas, including populated places, without local medical services. "medically underserved" is the google keyword. Read two or three public health research papers and you will quickly find that there are already roads, but no doctors, mainly due to the economics of American health care.
And inflation?

It’s a pay decrease.

Personally, I've tried most of the popular free text editors in the past, and I gave up on Atom after using it a few times. It wasn't a bad product, but there was too much competition at that point already, it was just a bit too late. Atom took a while to load, didn't have as many plugins as other editors and finally didn't seem to offer that much of a differential compared to other text editors.

I now use Notepad++ for basic editing (and some Python coding) and VS Code for most of my real coding work.
> The (to use your word) 'crackpots' were proposing alternative solutions like Ivermectin and Chloroquine.

People can "propose" all they want. They were also proposing bleach, vitamin D, UV sunlight, and probably much more. It takes more than a bare proposal--you need to be able to show (with data) that your proposal is better than the current best theory.

In hindsight, the so-called crackpots were not all that invested in any particular alternative. They were invested in a general, vague contrariness: If the mainstream agreed with it, they were against it, for all definitions of "it". If, for instance, Chloroquine actually was found to be effective and Dr. Fauci got on stage and recommended it, the crackpots would have instantly abandoned it and pivoted over to a different proposal. They were more interested in simply being contrary to "the other side".

"Then again, a pearl is a kind of pathology—or at least, a reaction to one. It’s the mollusk’s defense against an invader, whether it’s a speck of grit or a parasitic fluke. The mollusk enrobes its enemy slowly in layer after layer of gleaming nacre; the pearl becomes the invader’s tomb. From the centers of pearls, scientists have exhumed tiny crabs, tapeworms, snail shells—even, sometimes, entire fish. In this way, pearls have less in common with other precious gems and more in common with pimples—or with the gnarled galls that swell from the trunks of wasp-infested oaks."

So every pearl has a little creature entombed in the center? Wow, never expected that was how pearls were formed.
