> if it went through the Western half of Canada would effectively be cut off from the bulk of the countries population and economic centers.

What? Quebec is east of Ontario, so the entire west of Canada is still connected to Ontario by land. Only lightly populated, economically minuscule (but gorgeous) eastern provinces would be cut off.

Premiere of Alberta. Albertans threaten this regularly when one or another of their extractive projects doesn’t get approved.
3) Data are highly spatially correlated. If the temperature is rising in one "grid-cell", it is rising in the neighbouring grid cells as well. Simply subtract the time-series from one grid-cell to the next grid-cell. Especially this yielded a large boost.

China also has a continuous literary tradition between that time and now, so the claims are plausible.

A radical program to move all power generation, transport, and home heating to renewables would result in radically cheaper energy and transport for all.

I think the argument is different.

Let's say you use a basic HTML Golang app backed by SQLite and replicated to a secondary with Litestream, all running on cheap bare metal ARM servers, and therefore your website is simple, usable, never goes down, and costs $20/month to run. I have no idea if this is actually good, but let's agree that there's some idealised system out there that would be a lot better than what we have now, even if it doesn't look like this one.

Let's also say I use React and Redux backed by a CQRS Express app running on MongoDB and Kafka, all hosted on AWS, and (for the sake of the argument) let's say this causes my website to be broken in bizarre ways, down all the time, and costs $2000/month to run. This is definitely an exaggeration and some of these technologies are great, but let's agree that there are some hellishly over-engineered systems out there, even if they don't look like this one.

I think the argument is that what matters here is having an example of a $20/month uncomplicated beautiful system to point to. Discussing the technologies or patterns involved without building anything and especially without building a complete working product with your favourite elegant tool means everyone will use the broken $2000/month system as an exemplar in your field, because they have nothing better to point to.

I fell under a collective (and also formally published) delusion that one might use prime factorization and run-length encoding to achieve data compression, but repeated experiments suggests this fails, when actually constructed. I've come to suspect the primes in this way are just a base, like any other.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to argue one way or another very well.
It is not only legitimate, it is accurate, and I also agree with it.

Scalpers do not create the situation where demand exceeds supply.

In one world: narcissism.

It’s not just a trait of exceptionally evil people but rather ‘self-love’, which is a part of your mind just as your heart is part of your body and it goes wrong in so many ways just as you can have a heart attack, heart disease, heart failure, high blood pressure and many other conditions.

Specifically when many people feel bad about themselves it causes in instability in their psyche, in an extreme case it is like dr. Heckle and mr. Hyde. But it explains why politicians pander to people so much.

I was there pre-Angular and pre-React and cost and time overruns were a thing. They always were and always will be. Unsatisfying software is a broad and complex problem and no matter your views, you will find confirmation. Agile coaches will see it in waterfall, Baldur sees it in SPAs, and somebody else will see it in tracking and metrics.

Could you clarify? Wouldn't this only cut Newfoundland and Labrador off from the rest of Canada? Can't see how this would affect Western Canada's access to the population/economic centre which is basically just Ontario, and to a lesser degree BC and Alberta itself. (Excepting Quebec, which I guess all of Canada would be cut off from to the same degree in this scenario).
Do you mean simply because people outlive their friends? If so, do you think simply having friends that are younger, and possibly still working and having colleagues till a late age, would fix this? Doc Severinsen seems happy in his 90s, outwardly at least. Who knows if he's content behind closed doors. I know a lady from local swimming pool who swims daily who's 91.

to add to this, if there are things the speed bar doesn't do that you wish it did, the chance that there's no package for {specific thing you want} is vanishingly small.

I have to say I dislike the tone of your comment, it's unnecessarily argumentative, but the point about the Pioneer Fund is correct. I'm also concerned that there may be some selection bias in reports of separated twins with amazing similarities. Nobody is going to make a documentary about a whole set of separated twins that are completely different from each other, and we will naturally focus on similarities and ignore differences.

Personally on the nature Vs nurture debate I think it's probably both, at about 50/50. I don't see how either of them can't have a significant influence.
TIL that we can have around 26 modern APIs in emacs.

From the linked further article on Kinetoscope, so much here - inventor's dilemma as well as "for maybe about ten of them" coming from a person who builds the future and clearly and correctly foresees at least a half of it yet not the full future:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetoscope

"Even as Edison followed his dream of securing the Kinetoscope's popularity by adding sound to its allure, many in the field were beginning to suspect that film projection was the next step that should be pursued. When Norman Raff communicated his customers' interest in such a system to Edison, the great inventor summarily rejected the notion:

No, if we make this screen machine that you are asking for, it will spoil everything. We are making these peep show machines and selling a lot of them at a good profit. If we put out a screen machine there will be a use for maybe about ten of them in the whole United States. With that many screen machines you could show the pictures to everybody in the country—and then it would be done. Let's not kill the goose that lays the golden egg.[82]"

> Could you give an example of what you mean by this?

I mean a type like `yield Nat + yield Nat ~ ()`. Here's how this would occur naturally: Define

effect yield A is A => ()

fn yield_each A, B, e : (A -> e ~ B) -> [A] -> e + yield B ~ () is
| _, [] => ()
\ f, [a .. as] => a->f!->yield!; as->yield_each(f)

fn print_each A, B, e: (A -> e ~ B) -> e + print ~ () is
f, l => l->yield_each(f)
handle yield B with x => print(x->show)!

Here my_map should always behave the same as the standard map. The effect `yield B` is handled by collect, and the effect e is handled by the caller. But what happens if the effect e here is also yield?

fn foo : print ~ [Nat] is
[1, 2, 3]->my_map(n => yield(n)!; n+1)
handle yield Nat with n => print("Processing " ++ n->show)!

Now yield_each effectively returns `yield Nat + yield Nat ~ ()`. Does this get combined into a single `yield Nat ~ ()`, so that the handler in print_each handles all yields?
I guess when your benchmark is genocide, it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.
That only makes sense if you think in terms of law to the detriment of morality.

> Apps you need and currently use may well be moved from the Apple app store

This is isn't the case on Android.

That's already a separate problem and hopefully also one that the EU will address. Imagine if to call someone you'd have to sign up with the same provider as them. That we allow this kind of mess in the the software world is pure insanity.

Legislation is simply lagging behind technology but that is an argument for updating legislation to deal with the modern world, not for letting a private company play judge, jury and executioner.

> Some have to use it for work. One day they may have to install the Meta app store to get WhatsApp, and agree to permissions and access to their personal data that they don't like at all, because there will be no gatekeeping pressure from Apple on WhatsApp to not do that.

If your work requires you to install something on your private phone that is not completely isolated than that should also be regulated. If its on a work phone then your work should be interested in restricting what the app can do.
Rocket League.

It is free and runs on most platforms.

It will take a lot of time to understand and learn how to control the car and the ball, but once you know that, you can go into ranked or casual 1v1-matches. These are the most nerve-wracking matches to play for most people, since your own mistakes often immediately gives your opponent and opportunity to net a goal. The reason I personally think this game is so awesome and satisfying to play, is how you need to learn and develop yourself in both game sense and game mechanics.

The grind of getting the mechanics is worth it in my opinion, but all in all you also have you enjoy the game.

The 5-minute gameplay in a match of Rocket League, especially in 1v1s, will introduce intense and stressful moments for many players. So observing yourself through both how you react and how you play will learn you a lot. Because everything happens immediately, you need to be aware of how you emotionally react to your own failure in order to play your best game. If you learn wisely from your mistakes, it doesn't matter if you win or loose, because you have a better fundamental understanding for future games. Rinse and repeat! Then understand how the same risk and reward principles that applies in Rocket League can be applied to your own personal risk management.

In general, I learned more about learning, and emotional reactions than I ever imagined I would from a game. And especially a game where the objective is to use your rocket-boost powered car to smash an oversized ball into the goal.

You still need tracks and power lines. If the only benefit of streetcars over buses is right-of-way, why not just give buses right of way.

After some deliberation, my muncipality recently decided against a streetcar-system and for a bus-based system with electric buses, right-of-way everywhere and dedicated bus-lanes where possible (nearly everywhere).

It worked out really well.
I am pretty sure part of it is also some kind of greenwashing move to abstract away your carbon footprint. Like exporting pollution to far east by producing there. Sure there are tools to calculate your energy/carbon footprint from cloud workloads but if you don't operate a datacenter yourself anymore you can't be as much accountable as the cloud vendor is.

But there will surely be a backlash and an - at least partial - return to operating your own datacenter for some companies in the future.
quite sure you're overthinking it.

a picture of some random dick does not qualify as blackmail material.
Same. I also allowed for the possibility of action by others. For example, in 100 years, someone else may be able to stop the trolley.
If you just look at their cost advantage, their war chest, and construction plans, you can pretty much extrapolate that they will be a major car manufacturer by the end of the decade with volume sales ranging well over 10M vehicles unless something happens. They seem to be well capable of creating more production capacity. They seem to have no demand problem. So, there are lots of good reasons to assume they might be growing quite a lot in the next years.

Their expressed goal is actually closer to 20M vehicles long term. That would be on top of their plans in the energy sector (batteries, virtual power plants, etc.). And on top to eventually have a cheap, driver less car on the road. That last one is a bit of a controversial goal and you may have some reservations about whether they can or cannot do that. But if you are an investor you might reasonably lean one way or another and buy accordingly.

If you look just at their current size and assume they cannot possibly do more and grow, then yes, you'd be right to be skeptical. If on the other hand you look at what they did with quarter on quarter growth (until the current one), and extrapolate that some years in the future you might start wondering where that might end up and you might see a path to Tesla becoming quite big indeed.

The reason the share price is high is obviously that there are a lot of share holders that believe that Tesla is well on their way executing the necessary steps to reach all of their ambitious goals. They seem to have a head start on other manufacturers both in volume production and cost savings. That won't last forever. But at the scale of Tesla's ambition, having a lot of control over their suppliers and R&D related to that is a smart strategy if you plan to grow aggressively and something that most of their competitors are still figuring out. Maybe some of them will and maybe some of them will have to sell products at a loss for some time to come just to keep up.

IMHO, the biggest threat for Tesla are not European or US companies but Chinese manufacturers. The market is plenty big enough for the both of them though. It will be interesting which of the ICE car manufacturers survive this decade.

> I really do want a comprehensive list if possible of which charities are actually worthy of even being allowed to keep existing on this planet.

You're in luck! That's exactly the problem that the Effective Altruism movement aspires to solve (namely, how to do altruism effectively.) And Givewell, in particular, is a great site for that - you can either donate to them and have them spread your donation over their "top charities", or donate to the charities yourself.

They do a lot of research, very transparently, to figure out which charities are actually achieving good outcomes. You can read their research, their thought processes around it, etc.

Note that this doesn't necessarily mean those charities have "zero overhead", as you alluded to in another comment - that's not a good way to judge a charity, in general, the same way it isn't a good way to judge a company; we don't really care how much money it takes to run a company or how that money is used, we care about their profit. Similarly, if a charity uses a lot of money on things like staff, but this makes them more effective at actually (say) saving lives, then it's a net better charity to donate to than other charities.
Most religions seem quite fond of the unborn, it’s the born they’re not too fond of. Or, at least the born in the wrong flavour.

I keep not understanding why this "problem" exists. If pulling the lever kills someone, then you killed someone. You can only do that if it's yourself or if the amount of people you save grants you some immunity, like "kill a guard to save a city"

Both statements can be true at once. Tesla can have incredible growth and margins for many years and still be overvalued at its current price. (I personally believe both are true: Tesla obviously does have a lot of potential to grow from where they are now, but their stock price implies a level of dominance which seems unrealistic).
