> The only difference is that you can occupy them year round, but I don't think that's a relevant difference.

Most people think it's a pretty relevant difference. For one thing, if you occupy a place year-round, you can keep your belongings in it. That's a pretty significant feature for most people, which is the reason most people choose to live in a permanent domicile rather than moving every week. But different strokes for different folks I guess.
> Is Twitter a public square the church should seek to evangelize?

Absolutely not. Do not evangelize. It's just offensive, smacking of "my religion is better than your pagan falsehoods".

Or maybe, since I want to see the results of Elon's "free speech" experiment, go right ahead! Make Twitter a crappier place, a worse, more degraded environment. Be part of a tidal wave of spam, pr0n, Qanon conspiracy mongering and Nazi recruiting. Birds of a feather...
A friend of the family recently won a million dollar house in the hospital raffle. It was a house on the Gold Coast in Queensland, which he immediately sold. I think he might also have won $20,000 of gold bullion in another hospital raffle.

And off topic but my brother won a years supply of Kentucky Friend Chicken in the footy tipping..... and he is a vegetarian. Imagine that - you win the sacrifice of 365 chickens for your skill in picking footy teams. KFC gave him 50 x $50 vouchers.

And I once spent two full days entering every possible online competition I could find. You can guess how much I won.

Here is Australia in the 1980's it was common to find free competition tickets that you could enter in fish and chip shops. For a joke, a friend entered another friend, who won an all expenses paid trip for two to Europe, without knowing they had been entered.

I personally during the source of my many years, have won precisely nothing ever.
Or have the robot gardener walk to the shop for you… what’s a few extra miles to a robot who would just be sitting around anyway?
I wouldn't describe it as a "fact" that SwiftUI is a toy

I have used SwiftUI now in 5 shipping iOS applications and one internal macOS app. Two of them had codebases that extended all the way back to pre-ARC Objective-C! One app was 100% SwiftUI (with two UIKit exceptions where I had to drop down to work around a SwiftUI bug)

I get "real" things done in both UIKit and SwiftUI. It is trivial to host a SwiftUI view in UIKit, and it soon becomes the most pleasant part of the app to work on in my experience

It's simply a tool to use alongside UIKit, and it happens to be fun to use too
It's working fine on Safari (OSX) for me. Possibly with a different ad blocker.
No. I am saying that complaining about "every college freshman who just took poli sci 101" is not an effective way of engaging in discussion about the merits of capitalism.
Condo fees are generally set by an elected council of owners based on actual spending needs. The condo association is also 'owned' by the condo owners, so if it dissolves any assets in the accounts revert to the owners. This means that you are entering into a partnership where the other partners are theoretically acting in your interest. They also come with the legal protections of being real property.

Timeshare owners are generally not represented by a committee of other owners, the money does not go to things approved by them, and the company makes no promises about acting in the interest of timeshare owners.

So yeah, you are contractually obligated to pay fees for a space you can occupy is where they are similar. There's a reason that timeshares almost never appreciate, often being given away for free, where a condo tends to hold value or appreciate.
The amount of water used would be minuscule, and besides, electrolysis is probably cheaper using sea water anyway.

Water shortages happen because agriculture uses so much water, not because we don’t have much of it.
Uber is an example of a company that wants to be a tech company, but (1) really shouldn't (2) kinda lacks the technical leadership to really be one.

It feels like the right call, around 2017, was to either:

(A) double down and build a platform for every kind of physical multisided marketplace (matching as a service, maps+routing+locations+geofences as a service, physical product ops as a service, etc) Where Amazon went from books->everything->AWS, Uber could have gone rides->platform-for-all-the-multi-sided-marketplaces.

OR (B) fire every engineer except the 15 or so it takes to maintain the rider and driver apps and a few services, with no new features, port everything over to common cloud companies instead of their DC (shoutout to DCA, the ugly stepbrother of SJC), and just pivot to value extraction and just maintaining it as the simple taxi app it should be.

Instead, they did neither, muddling around building random tech as if they had ads/search/social media margins while losing sight of the customers needs. There's a reason DD crushed them in food.

Edit: Since the primary response seems to be "You don't understand!" I was there 5 year, saw how the sausage was way over-made.
With such a dismissive attitude towards the first item on 'the list' it's hard to believe there would be any benefit to engaging you further on the subject.
Tegel was great but operating well beyond design capacity and it showed. It was always super crowded, and there is no good public transit to it (the busses to Alex don't count).
Note that Pozidriv screws are common in IKEA products.

Once I realized that there was a difference between Pozidriv and Phillips, I started using Pozidriv drivers when assembling IKEA furniture. It made more of a difference than I expected.
Anti-white racism is still racism, yes. I can not recall the last time i saw an example of that. I can recall conversations about Anti White politics though, like undoing the effects of red lining. Which would attempt to cure consequences of an Anti Black racism a little (you can believe that the money spent will not be enough to undo those damages at all). Anti White often means "not maintaining or even reducing the historic effects of pro white racicm".

Since they seem to be wide spread in your feed, i could have a look at some examples you send my way in the next 30 hours.
if you’re still giving your contact info to folks giving away cars in 2022, you probably go on the list of suckers, which are more valuable.
I remember reading about a company that installed condom vending machines in the women's bathroom at truck stops around the country. They found out that they never received a complaint when the machine took someone's money and didn't dispense the product, so they started extending the time between replenishments, which gave them huge profits.
Uber would have been fine if they operated like a medium sized SAAS company as they're forced to for example in Spain, where they due to regulations sell their software to local companies.

Smaller team, focus just on the ride hailing software, take a cut of the revenue and that would actually be a decent business that doesn't try to make money by either monopolizing markets or atomizing the taxi business and destroying labour rights. Of course if you do that you can't pretend to be a gazillion dollar technology giant.
It’s a b complex pill. It says 15 mcg. Maybe way too low?
It's a 248 page document, but I know on page 161 in the "Increasing scale, creating category leadership and a margin advantage" you can read how they're hoping that other ride-share companies popular in various regions will pivot to seek profitability and reduce incentives, thus allowing Uber to overtake their market as they keep their own incentives (ie, low prices).

You can ctrl-f "self-driving" to find their strategy in that venture.

edit: Should be easy to find the prospectus via search engines, but here's a link: https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001543151/f0dcd9a...
Serious question: how has post-pandemic inflation impacted the economics of timeshares purchased pre-pandemic? Is there any particular point in time where we can look back with the benefit of hindsight and say that a timeshare actually would have been a good investment?
I think at this point it's pretty well-established that general availability of self-driving cars is not going to happen any time soon. Do you think Uber can hemorrhage money for another ~20 years? I think that's probably a reasonable guess at the relevant timeline.
Wonder if the company owned by David Siegal , profiled in the movie The Queen of Versailles, uses these leads?

A fascinating movie... https://www.magpictures.com/thequeenofversailles/
For German I'm using Speakly. What I like about it is that it goes in order of the most used words, and all phrases are actually realistic and something you would use.

There's a streak, but it's so easy to ignore, specially since the app focus on 'learned words', something that duolingo had many years ago. The study is also organized in just chunks of 100. So instead, I focus on how many words I want to learn on the next week/month, or when I'm getting to the next group.
This sounds very similar to ipfs. How does it differ?
When you say 'footie' that makes me think you are Australian. "Raffles" in australia have very specific legal requirements.

>> has anyone solved the data problem?

So MIDI songs were being generated quite "early" on, even with basic text generators (LSTM models), where the "alphabet" was replaced by MIDI symbols. [1]

What Jukebox (and other models) did well was work with raw audio, rather than rely on MIDI or similar transcriptions. They break down audio into "blocks" using Fast Fourier Transforms, then each block is "tokenized" and then fed into transformers, similar to GPT-3 or other newer text generation models. This now allows the "subtle" musicalities to be discovered by models without relying on transcription. Wavenet (from Google) [2] I believe was the first one to do this... I tried myself for 6 months, but the processing power required for this is candidly only available for the Google/OpenAIs of the world.

>> the data is all locked up behind an impossible quagmire of copyright

So my understanding is that the training of Jukebox is similar to Copilot. It was trained on the entire English Spotify catalogue so all that has been digested by the model - under Fair Use. But again - this is probably far from "settled" legally.

They're pretty different in practice.

I think they're talking about the fact that you're required to pay condo fees to maintain your ownership of the condo, which does kind of make it a hybrid rental in a way. Obviously there's pretty good reasons for condo fees on some level (ignoring any mismanagement that may or may not be uncommon -- though sometimes the mismanagement is that they're too low), but it's something you have to factor in. You can never be completely free and clear with a condo that has fees.
One issue to note is carrier. ATT is now blocking devices that are not on their "approved" list. You may need to go with an alt carrier like Hologram or TMobile: https://www.hologram.io/products/iot-sim-card

Or if you work on old Japanese cars. Old Honda cars and motorcycles used them. I stripped out tons of screws before I learned about it, it was super frustrating. JIS screws can be differentiated by a dot stamped onto the head of the screw.
This is a car!
How does Uber come out top in that? Surely that self driving software/car makers take the rewards. Uber is just a booking platform on top. Why would Google (with Waymo) allow Uber to book their cars, or Tesla to book their cars? They'd surely set up their own competing service to Uber and force them out of the market within months (as the prices would be so much lower).

I'd imagine the software licensing of self driving cars would be so that when you bought a self driving GM/Ford/whatever that is only for personal use and using it for taxi rides would be against the ToS. Which they could quickly catch people out on, and maybe a "taxi" version of the car costs $xxx/month more.

Unless you are suggesting that Uber actually wins the race to self driving, which I really can't see happening. Do they even have a program anymore?
Yes. Timeshare sales orgs make a boat-ton of money. The average punter isn’t capable of doing the math to compute that a timeshare is among the worst deals anywhere.
Honestly I find it kind of a shame because there are places in the world I would actually love to own/rent a regular consistent shareable space in, but it's basically impossible to do, without it being a scam, unless you have a bunch of well-off friends who want roughly the same thing as you.

Probably the closest you can come is buying or renting a place and then airbnb-renting it out most of the time, but then you're getting yourself into some legally grey areas most likely (plus becoming a landlord, which may be quite a lot of work and/or morally questionable in itself depending on your views).
If you signed into your microsoft account on windows or xbox game bar or whatever they start tracking this sort of thing without asking. I had about a years history of gaming attached to my profile without even knowing it was enabled because I was trying to get a familiarize myself with parental controls for my nephew's xbox purchase. I don't own any microsoft store games. Everything I had played came through steam or GOG, but was still tracked.
There's also maintenance on that fleet of cars to consider and ride-share gets no economies of scale there. You know who does? Taxi companies.
Uber started out well as your "personal chauffeur" with premium cars and polite, professional drivers. Then they started chasing numbers and valuation, and it was all downhill from there.
This article was written Feb 25, 2021 but its a great short read about the philosophy behind this subject.
We all did buddy.. we all did.
But Google could never do it right. It strikes me as obvious that anything that's going try to be a genuinely modern library can't sidestep, or even "work with" the present capitalist+copyright regime. It will just have to be a fight.
That's an interesting point. I wonder what Starlink is doing with any DMCA complaints aimed at IP address traffic.
People care a lot more about timeliness for their hot food and their own person than they do for a box that UPS delivers. Uber has been trying to make that particular economy work for nearly a decade now, and it turns out it's niche.
> There are other types of car giveaways run by more legitimate parties (charity raffles, event promotions) that do deliver the goods — but if you win, you’re liable to pay a hefty gift tax.

I don't think it's a gift tax, but ordinary income tax. A coworker won a living room sofa set on a game show, and the staff were waiting with a 1099 for her as soon as she stepped off the stage. The IRS says you need to pay tax based on the fair market value, but the shows will list the prize at it's full retail price.

So if you should happen to (and you won't) win the Acura, you'll owe 25% or more on it. Plus any state income tax. I'm not sure when the IRS actually wants their money, but a safe assumption would be "soon". Perhaps by the next quarterly estimated-tax date.
In this economy!?

Anecdotally, I had 20000x more money at 22 than 28. If I remain employed for the rest of the year I might be on par by the end of it. Graphing my income over the last 10 years would look like a memory leak
What I ended up doing was essentially reimplementing TLA+ (and TLC) so that I could code-gen runtime tests from my specs. My TLC implementation enables the "normal" TLA+-style offline checks to determine that you won't violate your invariants, so you can iterate on your specs and find the edges (and fix them).

I do the online checks because I don't trust the code, so I check (at runtime) that the code matches the specIfor the exact (runtime) situation that code is being run in. If it doesn't, I hang/abort.

The math that shows how much electricity must go in to have the equivalent amount of plants come out.

Watt per PPFD or something along those lines.
Credit to them for a nice "Why Vite" button backed by a very informative page.

But for any homepage describing any product / project: If you solve a similar problem as a better know competitor, that's a huge advantage! Mention them explicitly and then state what makes you different. That's one of the fastest avenues to understanding anything "it's like [well known thing] but different in that it [differences here]".

Perhaps just having this:

Vite is a javascript bundler for web development that uses native ES modules. Projects are adopting Vite in lieu of Webpack to gain near-instant HMR and much simpler setup and configuration.
All That Is Not Good
Yes. I've never gotten a phone call from McDonald's.
Quick video on why building more car lanes doesn't solve traffic jams.
Because each dollar spent building a nuke is a dollar not invested building renewables that would displace much more fossil fuel, immediately instead of ten years on maybe.

Coal producers lately love nukes because they mean at least ten more years of reliable sales, more if it is cancelled. They know they are doomed, but with enough nuke projects can hang on long enough to retire. If civilization collapses, it probably won't be immediately, and that is good enough for them.

We don't have storage because we have not built out storage. Just now, a dollar is much better invested in renewable generating capacity, so we build that. When storage comes to have value, we will build out storage. After storage, carbon capture, but not before, same reason.
I worked as a volunteer to fundraise for my local library. I can see no meaningful moral difference between this and that. I get that the law is different, I just think the law is off here.
Itanium ABI is somewhat stable. As in there exists a chance that two binary files compiled with exact same set of libraries and headers will be compatible, which is something that will get broken the moment two files were compiled with different switches in GCC that do not technically change things at Itanium ABI levels, but cause incompatibilities in various standard types.
If you worked on a project for any amount of time that wasn’t put in front of users (who would catch obvious mistakes like what you describe), you aren’t taking your job seriously and have bigger problems than feeling bad about throwing away code.
Again, it's just insane to me that we don't even much have a meaningful discussion of:

"Hey, wait, literally everyone could have the entire library of Alexandria in their house for a couple hundred bucks per person. Like, all the knowledge ever. Maybe that should be considered the good default of things.

At least one in every town that everyone could use, for free, forever, without restriction to ANY of the knowledge anyone desires."
This was a great read and indeed quite tragic

> People have been trying to build a library like this for ages—to do so, they’ve said, would be to erect one of the great humanitarian artifacts of all time—and here we’ve done the work to make it real and we were about to give it to the world and now, instead, it’s 50 or 60 petabytes on disk, and the only people who can see it are half a dozen engineers on the project who happen to have access because they’re the ones responsible for locking it up.

Could have been great but it wasn't perfect for everyone so it was scraped because surely Congress would take up this noble quest...
IPFS can't give you the least-seeded files. It can't give you any files, you have to manually pin the set you want, and you pin all of it, and it won't automatically change.

It's not very convenient for archival, whereas the system I'm talking about would be (in my opinion, anyway).
really hate these vulture like slime tactics to go after desperate and gullible people. it just brings tears to my eyes thinking of how shameless people are and how little they think about the after math of their actions. ex) crypto
What technology did you use to implement your prediction algorithm? It might make sense to use the same language to have less moving parts. If you used Python, for example, you may consider using either Django or Flask for the web site.
The "a relevant difference" part was in relation to the sentence after, which is whether something is a scam or not. Regardless of what utility year-round occupancy affords you, I doubt that's the defining factor between whether it's a scam or not.
Green hydrogen is expensive to make and store ... gotta wonder about the economics.

It'd be great if there was a chemical reaction path that leads to some common fuel that removes CO2 from the air as it 'burns'. Don't know enough organic chem to know if that's even possible. (But then, maybe, life ... finds a way.)
Some of these feel to be just beginner/expert. Like the one about optimization. Beginners are the ones to try optimizing everything
So I just streamed myself taking vite for a test drive. My thoughts:

- Very fast to reload

- Seemed pretty damn simple and non-magical. Your main code doesn't get transpiled, just your dependencies.

- IMHO the scaffolding stuff was superfluous, at least for vanilla JS. I'm a minimalist and it initially turned me off, but then I discovered it was basically just a thin wrapper around the `vite` binary. Will probably just install vite as a dev dependency and go from there next time.

Over all a positive experience and might end up re-using it.
Just don't use the web app?

I've been using Feedly since Google Reader shut down and I've visited their site like once every six months.

I use Newsify on iOS and ReadKit on my Mac.
Badass idea, thanks giraffe banana!
Also, why run all of Microsoft’s spyware and deal with their forced updates just so you can get through to a slightly slower and less compatible version of Linux.
Though they also get a 30% cut of the food price, so that considerably changes the economics.
What do you want people to do? I suppose many could walk, take transit or bike. In North American cities, everything is so spread out that walking is prohibitive except in the core of cities and transit is often too unreliable and infrequent to be taken by people with responsibilities. Biking is good, except bike infrastructure is so patchy and car drivers are often distracted that you risk ending up badly injured or dead from them.

Long term we could live in more dense and walkable neighborhoods, but even if we did the zoning changes, it would take decades to swap out all of our infrastructure for a less car dependent built environment.

Short term we could have electric cars. But 60% of our power grid is still fossil fuel driven [1]. Plus electric cars are built with 50% more plastic than ICE cars [2]. Exxon, without selling gasoline, expects to make as much money from petrochemicals as the company as a whole made in 2013 [3].

We really have significant issues, they’re not easily solved. But telling people that they make a lot of carbon is not going to change behavior. There are deeply rooted structures that influence behavior. They can be changed, but they will take a long time and alternatives are needed.
