Anecdotally, I got my 2006 GSXR1000 to 130 000km(80 000 miles). I only sold it because I was moving into a bigger city. Having to trawl around in 1st using the clutch most of the time was not appealing.

I ride commuter most days and used to do on weekends. I like the 2nd hand market having so many low mileage bikes.

While I am not about to make disparaging remarks on Harleys reliability, I won't buy one because I like my bikes to perform.

Also, amongst my friends the "Boomer cosplay stores" comment rings true. Nothing inherently wrong with that I guess but not my crowd. I mean, people buy italian supercars to pose down slow streets with too. Your money, do what you want.
I don't think that would be possible. One of the big limitations of neural networks is that they don't cite their sources.
>In Canada it's laissez faire (hands off) for a lot of critical infrastructure (communications, highways, insurance), but full on subsidies and support for non-essential things like entertainment

This is incorrect. Canadian telecommunications and insurance industries are very protectionist of the entrenched companies. It's hardly "hands off" -- they're intensely regulated and protected by government.

Subsidies can take more forms than just cash.

I'm not sure what the comment about highways is referring to but as those are provincially regulated I'm guessing it's specific to wherever your experience is.

Numerous states with significant rural populations and a lot of hunting activity have elected sitting Democrat senators. That includes Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, and West Virginia. Heck in Michigan the opening day of deer hunting season is practically a state holiday. Those senators tend to be fairly pragmatic about the issue and don't necessarily adhere to the party platform.
Very unlikely you’re going to get heat stroke in 10 minutes or even 10 miles if it’s 94*F. Unpleasantly hot? Sure, I guess, though I ride through similar weather without problems (beyond sweat).
It’s just hot and humid, you’re not on Mars. Of course it’s more convenient to take the car, but it’s not dangerous to use an ebike in those situations.
Sure - but then how do you verify that some alleged scientist has been doing that, if you are not allowed/worthy of checking their work?
Their answer to that is: The answer is more complicated than costs – the needs of smaller businesses are fundamentally different. To serve smaller businesses well, we need a fully automated, one-size-fits-all product experience that doesn’t fully exist today. On the other hand, startups and scaled companies need a higher-touch experience with Brex tailored to the individual needs of their organizations.

Seems pretty reasonable to me?

I recall in the past lots of people reporting issues with their bookmarks going missing with xBrowserSync. It also hasn't been updated in quite some time. My biggest issue, is it appeared to primarily integrate with the browsers bookmark manager... and once you had thousands of bookmarks in the browser bookmark manager, it started lagging. I prefer something with a native local service to search and manage bookmarks, like Shiori.. but I don't like Shiori all that much either.

> Academia is characterized by well-trodden problems, hashed over for decades, and negligible novel data for resolving them. Industry is by comparison a mass of green field areas of inquiry with large budgets, minimal bureaucracy, and ample data.

IMO I thought it was the opposite.

Academia is filled with people going out of their way to do something "novel", even if it's useless and/or over-complicated. Because a) that's how you get papers, and b) moreover most PhD programs literally require you to make a novel discovery to graduate. Case in point: all those theory papers with weird techniques, limited use cases, and demos which barely work; any "game" made by academics.

In contrast, industry has a ton of resources, but they don't like allocating them to anything which isn't expected to make a project. Most industries are just "new" approaches to old problems which are really just improvements. Industries use tried-and-true tools and technologies, and don't use the theoretical cutting-edge stuff until enough research is done and tools are created that it's no longer cutting-edge (e.g. linear types in Rust). Case in point: another ride-sharing app, database-management tool, Twitter introducing medium-style notes, Dropbox introducing Patreon-like pay-for-access, AAA games.

This is a pessimistic take: there are plenty of academics who try to work on truly practical problems even if there's not much "novelty", and startups who work to create something radically new. And then there's corporate research labs like Microsoft Research whose goal is essentially to make stuff that's a) novel and b) practical.

But those fourty-year-old problems and techniques you learned in undergrad? Those aren't what you're working on once you get into a PhD. And I would not paint industry as "minimal bureaucracy", maybe some industries but definitely not FAANG.
Two reasons why:

A car has better ability to brake suddenly then scooters and bikes where the rider can get thrown forward. I can hear a car coming.
In the city they don't drive fast where as bikes ignore lots of rules and travel very quickly.

Ask yourself this: is a motorbike hitting a pedestrian more dangerous or a car hitting a pedestrian, where are both are driving at city speeds with lots of braking in short distances.
youve been at this for 5 years and this is where youre at? my hunch would be because you have a shitty team...and my hunch was 1000% confirmed from what I read. I recommend trying to get the company acquired by an interesting startup with a decent use case for your product. Negotiate a deal that gets the original investors some trade in for their otherwise worthless shares and land yourself + whoever else is actually a rare talent w/ some decent upside and a good salary

" A few years ago we pivoted to a consumer platform. Currently we have a product in closed beta with 500 users. “he problem is that the product isn’t finished and users don’t stay on the platform”

no offense but that summarizes everything for me. startups are all about number of cycles. a good team should have the ability to see the pivot isnt landing, and have the skills to iterate & launch something that tests the revised concept quickly
" the evidence for human influenced climate is so vast and so well researched that it would take an absolute miracle to displace it at this point."

Even now there are various scenarios, not a single consensus. And I rather doubt that you personally have verified the climate science, so what makes you so sure?

Btw it is not about humans influencing climate (of course they do), but about the doomsday scenarios.

"Reproducibility and peer review are part and parcel of science and it is always done by other people than the ones involved in the original research."

Peer review is not a a guarantee for good science, it was invented for the government grant system. Sorry if people call on the peer review system, to me it just shows they are delusional about the workings of the science systems in most places.

"But to you 'other people' may include people that have not studied the subject matter and that are not capable of following the arguments"

Everybody can study the subject matter, that is the thing. It is you who claims only certain people of your choosing are capable of doing so.

"And I'll throw my lot in with the 99.9%, not because it makes my life any easier but simply because that makes good sense."

Do you even know what the 99.9% say? You can check how that number was derived - it was people evaluating abstracts and judging whether those papers agree that humans affect climate. It doesn't say everybody agrees on the doomsday scenarios.
Intellectual property is a misnomer. The word “property” contains some very physical connotations that ideas and media are not bound by. Unfortunately, too many powerful people have a vested interest in continuing to use the word “property” in conjunction with non-physical items.
Ha. This is so dumb. People can already easily link a Medium page / github gist / whatever. The reason people write threads is that people don't like to click links that get them out of the Twitter flow. Many reasons for this, but basically it's friction and Twitter is very flaky with keeping your position within the timeline (at least on Android).

Keeping it in app should be a step forward, but a clickable "read more" that expand *within the timeline* (same way it works for threads within the timeline, though unfortunately not within list) is the only thing that will kill threads.
Just to be clear, we are both talking about vaporizer cartridges designed to use batteries with 510 connections right? The kind you vaporize and inhale, not something designed as a food additive? They look like this [1]?

The oil you see in that THC cart is NOT a "carrier oil" and is not created using the process you describe (that's how you make DIY THC infused butter or cooking oil, for use in creating edibles). It would be INSANE to vaporize and inhale olive or coconut oil. The oil in the cartridge pictured in [1] IS literally almost pure THC. Take a look at the lab report for one of those cartridges [2]. The top compound is literally THC Delta 9 (THC "Classic"), and it represents 887 mg/g (88.7% of a 1g cart) of the compound by weight.

Oil for cartridges is literally cannabis oil and is produced using CO2, butane/hexane, ethanol, or even pressure extraction. You need the mixture to be liquid enough to be wicked onto the heating element, and I'm not sure how that is achieved today, but in the past they would use Vegetable Glycerin (VG) or Propylene Glycol (PG) to slightly liquify it (the same additives used for e-cigs). If you don't include these additives, the pure oil is a solid/buttery/sticky mess, and you get things like sauce/resin/shatter.

Edit: From some search I see that coconut oil is in fact still sometimes used as a thinner, so I stand corrected there. But I think the overall point stands that it is a small (< 10%) part of the mixture, and is used as a thinner, not the primary carrier. The primary oil in the cartridge is literally THC oil.
How can homotopy type theory, as opposed to non-homotopy type theory, help us with "verification of systems/hardware and formalization of math" outside of homotopy theory itself?

My perspective has always been that it can't.
Repairing modern motorcycles isn't difficult. Even working on state of the art throttle-by-wire engines isn't difficult, other than it taking a bit more time to get all the fairings off. This is about what effect repairs will have on the warranty - and if you're building a custom, you're usually going to start with a bike that's out of warranty anyway.

The only overlap is getting hold of the manuals. Bike manufacturers have started to put them online only, like car manufacturers, and charge for access. That's a pain in the neck.

I wonder what this means for Starlink. I know that Elon put them into a slightly lower orbit accidentally than what they originally intended. Which probably had the positive side effect of better latency. But, now that solar weather is accelerating orbital decay, this perhaps affects Starlink more adversely than it would have otherwise.
The only project I know using QBE is Hare. Does anyone know some others?
I built my own. It's a Chrome extension that

- captures a tree tab structure (inspired by Tree Style Tab)

- has a text-heavy interface

- is keyboard driven (inspired by Vim)

- keeps data local or syncs to a GitHub gist (no server)

- exports to Markdown

I often hear from others they need something similar, and I thought about finishing it up so others can use it. But my fear is that I made too many personal design choices that nobody else would like, and changing those choices would make myself less happy (but surely make it easier for others to use).

Something like 50% of the wastewater sewer pipes in NYC are combined (sewage + rain overflow). I can’t even imagine how to go about fixing that. You would have to build a parallel line and then literally dig up every existing building’s connection to the waste water line. The problem is severely compounded in a city as old as London.

This is not the case and is not planned. Are you trying to make some kind of slippery slope argument or something?
The technical difference are fundamental. To interpret the intent of the writers one has to understand the world they lived in and not merely the words they wrote. “arms” in terms of lethality, ease of use, density of population, second order effects, type of society, etc. are much different now and the amendment is obsolete. Particularly since a well regulated militia is no longer necessary for the defense do the country. The tenth amendment is not enforced at all in terms of how it was written. It has morphed in terms of how it is interpreted since society grew much more complex. The second amendment needs to be dealt with similarly.

I didn’t say two wrongs make a right and didn’t use past violations of the Constitution as justification for anything. I just pointed out that the idea that we are a nation of laws is incorrect and that adherence to the Constitution is not done in a consistent way.

I understand the meaning of “well regulated” and I disagree with the Court’s interpretation of what that phrase means and how it should be interpreted. The Court is not infallible. Indeed, in recent times we see quite clearly how absurd it’s decisions can be. The Court should be ignored when it’s decisions are absurd. All decent governments rely on a consent of the governed and the Supreme Court has clearly overstepped itself in a slew of areas and it has lost its credibility. As such it’s recent decisions should be ignored.

If tomorrow the Court ruled that people have a right to create and use biological weapons I’m certain you’d say that the decision should be ignored. So don’t act as though the notion of ignoring the court is unthinkable or unprincipled or irresponsible. Particularly when there is historic precedent for doing so.
In that case Kuerig's legal argument would be straightforward:

- The injury due to the coffee burn was due entirely to the elevated temperature.

- The machine would not have served at the scalding temperature had McDonald's not made the modification.

- The modification was specifically made to raise the temperature to a level that turned out to be unsafe.

The question of whether a modification was made would almost certainly come out in court because a McDonald's employee would be unlikely to perjure themselves over it.

Therefore, all the liability would be on McDonald's.

Though I do see your point about legal costs being incurred even if the case of Kuering being completely innocent. It seems that having a culture instilled with a nebulous concept of "liability" encourages people to limit other's ability to take their own risks.

> You refused to create a GitHub account?

As I read it, he refused to create another Github account to apply a second time when told to contact them again after a first application. (From GP: “So I had to make a new GitHub account just to apply again. That’s what the hiring people told me when I emailed them.”)

Requiring a GitHub account to apply is a small hoop (especially if it is a position that will require you to have a personal GitHub account that they can add to their organization if you are accepted.) Requiring another GitHub account each additional time you apply to a particular company is, OTOH, ludicrous.

I've heard professors say something to the effect of "students a decade or two ago used to be more productive". I don't have trouble believing that; so would I (I think) without the potency of modern entertainment. It's harder to do stuff while eating such good electric lotuses. :p
This has the same problem that OP refers to with regards to DEBUG: It remains in the environ, and for example if you forgot to set DEBUG=False, Django will just dump the whole environ on the error page.

The thing about monetary systems - crypto, fiat, precious metals, shell beads or whatever - is that they only have value, i.e. can be exchanged for goods and services - as long as other human beings agree that they have such value.

Crypto schemes certainly deserve much of the scorn that has been poured on them recently, but the way things are trending with the $US dollar may not be all that much better. Modern Monetary Theory, which is widely embraced in some circles may not be much more reliable than crypto, and in particular the fact that MMT relies on preserving the reserve currency status of the dollar isn't always recognized clearly (this is why MMT applied in countries like Argentina and Venezuela results in the devaluation of the local currency).

The fact that the Fed's rampant quantitative easing during the pandemic has now contributed at least in part to rampant inflation might indicate that that reserve currency status is faltering (compare to QE during 2008-2009, which did not cause an inflation spike). It's not the only factor driving inflation (supply chain breakdowns, fossil fuel exports, etc.) but it's something to think about.

Toxic. Most professional environments are non-confrontational but not nice. The academic ideal is being nice but sometimes confrontational. Being nice matters, because you can't hide from the same people behind your professional role for decades.

Academic research is fundamentally based on trust. Trust that the others know what they are doing. Trust that they have taken something obvious into account even if they don't mention it explicitly. Trust that they are presenting their work honestly. And so on. If you choose not to trust the other party, you can almost always poke holes into their argument, as long as you are reasonably familiar with the topic.

You should always be critical of your own research and offer constructive criticism to others. Your job is not shooting down their arguments but finding what can be salvaged and guiding them towards stronger arguments. And sometimes you have to accept that their arguments are already good enough, even if you think further work could improve them.

Besides, everything is bullshit anyway. Our job is just finding something interesting in it.
Quick note, this is not a neutral source, its a company providing a CMS for static sites.

I really think SSG are just going to remain a novelty for normal users, unless a GUI system like WordPress gets made for them.

With WordPress you can create a completely professional website with zero code knowledge.

I think WordPress just has to focus more on the headless part, I was searching on how to archive a WP site, it turns out using WGET you can get the entire browsing experience, everything works apart from search and member related stuff!, it doesn't even need the domain as the files are linked relatively!.

So if WordPress can make headless easier, maybe support deploying static pages, with a sub domain for dynamic stuff like signing in, it would be the best, but other than that, WordPress is here to stay despite its issues.

i would double this. i worked on various software for a smaller defense contractor and it mostly sucked and a lot of it never saw the light of day or one off r&d demos.
