Never been there, I tend to live in countries where the average price of a bottle of ~4-8% beer or a shot of booze is around 80 cents to 2.50 USD though and I am sorry to report the drunkest shit-disturbers in the bars are British, Australian, American and Canadian tourists in that order. I think some of these lads see the price and just go insane on it, but they can't really hold their liquor, and it causes a lot of problems with them thinking they can fight people over the pettiest of reasons (There really isn't a casual bar-fight culture in most parts I hang out around in Latin America), when it often at best just ends them getting kicked out, maybe worse targeted to get robbed at gun or knifepoint on the beach, or violently mobbed on by people having none of it at worst (go home injury or the rare death). Disagreement over the rules of billiards is a consistent one surprisingly, the pockets are marked for certain balls and when you point this out they think you are trying to hustle them or something when the numbers are pretty clearly right on the table.

(Most) Local men don't make enough money to get drunk at the bar, and chances are they have a woman (mom/wife/girlfriend) waiting around to give them a hard time if they do, if they don't they're trying to find exactly that so getting too wasted spoils the mamacita-mission, and a lot of it is economic and cultural relativity for sure. Like there are some pretty heavy drunks out this way but I mostly notice that with expats, especially those who don't speak very good Spanish. It really varies from country to country though (Often when I hang out with Colombians for instance they're drinking straight shots of this stuff called aguardiente and it's HORRIBLY sugary and a guaranteed hangover, no idea how they get used to it, I won't go near it). I think more of an issue for the local binge drinkers is adulterated liquor with weird holographic labels and the occasional mass methanol poisoning [1], actually, you find a bottle of that garbage for about a dollar for 350mL and it's the worst, killed someone I knew in quite a horrible way. Home-made fruit liquor causes a lot of problems too. No idea why people continue to drink that stuff other than a lack of education.

Internationally I notice the trend however is people becoming more health-conscious and I think that's pretty great.

They did a couple days ago.
It's me, I'm the source. I worked in a lot of those Michelin-starred places in quite a few cities.

I also bailed. The pay and hours were a large part of it. But I did it for years and years.
100% agree, also I wish the batteries didn't turn into garbage within only a few years (10-20 yrs max), many vehicles stay on the road much longer than that today.
I think the title should have `JS` in it, because for quite few people it just might not make sense. Besides the examples are such that the author seems to have been simultaneously competing in a obscured code brevity competition. Plus, language is definitely not "plain English" wrt jargons.
why is anyone surprised? if you're using a free product, most likely they are collecting your data and selling it to the highest bidder.
What do we need AI for?

Why not allow the 7 billion real intelligences and their families distribute their own money.

You can't mass produce AI with unskilled labour for free.
Yes, it is a certainty. Abundantly clear from direct experience myself, and consistent evidence between other experiences that it is at least a descriptor of a symptom of the increasing concern of conflict in our zeitgeist.

My censorship story about reddit begins when I somehow or other saw the front page instead of just my usual set of selected subreddits.

On that front page was a thumbnail photo of an old piece of medical equipment. It was an Iron Lung. I hadn't seen one of those since the 1960s.

So I commented on that front page article stating just that, that I hadn't seen one of those since the 1960s. What's the big deal about that, you might ask. As did I.

Except that the following day, I received a notification that I had been permanently banned from some subreddit that I had never heard of ever before. Huh? The reason given was that the article I had commented on was in one of the Trump subreddits. Who Knew?

When I commented on this strange state of events, that new comment of mine was 'disappeared' within minutes.

I knew then that Reddit had 'jumped the shark' and could only terminally decline after that.
The Chinese economy is screwed imo, but trying to analogize this to Lehman, isn't correct imo.

It's not a free market. They will back stop who they want to back stop. There is no contagion risk. The risk is that they keep building garbage nobody wants and they will squander their opportunity at creating sustainable wealth
The people doing this are clearly getting one over on the owners. It's common for pub employees to swindle the owner.
In the USA since 1960, healthcare has gone from 5% of GDP to nearly 20% of GDP, something I would consider a crisis. If you think of the enormous amount of money that’s being spent, and then ask if we’re really living better or longer lives, I would disagree.

Some might argue that the average lifespan has gone up a 8-10 years, but take out infant mortality, account for improvements in vehicular safety, the fact that most people no longer smoke cigarettes, and improvements in workplace, food and drug safety, and what are you actually left with?

I would say most dollars in healthcare are selfishly spent squeezing a year or two of extra time in the twilight of most peoples’ lives, while destroying our society in the process.
This is a ridiculous, fearmongering article. The Waymo truck was driving in autonomous mode, with a safety driver and software operator, when another semi crashed into it (“entered its lane”) and forced it off the road. The driver suffered moderate injuries.
If I had his cojones and his money this would be my goal too. We all dream about ending world hunger, but I am callow enough to concede I might actually not. callow: I'm 5 years older than Young Thiel. I think by now, I know its not my problem.
That's probably true. They also like to sell expensive but useless treatments. What's missing is clear information about efficacy of treatments.
The fact the Waymo safety driver and engineer won’t talk to the cops is very sketchy.

That said I wonder if this was purposeful on the other truck’s side. See the thing coming to take your job and decide to run it off the road.
I think the general consensus is that no one's going to get in trouble for posting pictures, e.g. on twitter or instagram or their personal site, but I believe that there have been cases of folks being pursued for using them for commercial purposes. There's definitely a fair bit of people claiming that personal use might also run afoul, but it seems to be the normal baseless panic you see around this stuff rather than anything to legitimately worry about.
The funds allocated for lending is lent out to borrowers (with a float maintained for withdrawals on the platform). This lets us give interest to our users.
The loans to our borrowers are risk free. They are overcollateralised by at least 150%, and are typically repaid in 30 days.[1]

This is one of those cases where litigation to "pierce the corporate veil" and go after the parent companies and the company officers individually may be worthwhile. Wikipedia:

"In the United States, corporate veil piercing is the most litigated issue in corporate law. Although courts are reluctant to hold an active shareholder liable for actions that are legally the responsibility of the corporation, even if the corporation has a single shareholder, they will often do so if the corporation was markedly noncompliant with corporate formalities, to prevent fraud, or to achieve equity in certain cases of undercapitalization."

A case can be made for fraud here, in that the company represented that it was investing money in "risk free" investments while actually loaning money to high risk debtors. Piercing the corporate veil is rare outside of bankruptcy, but not that unusual when bankruptcy is involved. This is a case of undercaptitalization, where someone went into the financial services business without enough money of their own to cover risks.

Their headquarters is in Jersey City, NJ. Where there are lawyers who go after corporate fraud routinely.
For some reason I clicked this expecting an Easter egg from Macromedia Flash and Macromedia Fireworks developers.
I am really excited about this. I wanted to share a rather complicated walking route around a campus, and it was far from a rectangular grid. Just created the route and shared it with my friend. It's rather a shame that Google maps or other maps like mapquest do not have an option of sharing a "custom route" rather than a location. I hope Felt catches on and succeeds.
Many subreddits use Mass Tagger[0] or other bots to automatically ban people who post in 'right-wing' or 'reactionary' subreddits. The criteria for being tagged is shakey at best.

The answer to my question doesnt have to be famous or amazing, just a reasonable demonstration of individual capability. Would you want advice on, say, wood working from someone that cant show you a well crafted chair or table they made on their own? A lot of the refactorings he does in his book IMO are not good, and a lot of the SOLID principles dont really apply in languages outside of Java, and even there their effectiveness is a matter of opinion and taste more so than provable value. I dont really hate on Bob, I just would encourage new coders to carefully consider whats been accomplished by the people that follow a certain paradigm. The majority of the most succesful projects in history have had nothing to do with TDD or SOLID. So, take whats useful from those methodologies certainly, but I'm more interested in how the undeniably great people and projects work as compared to Bobs opinions.
Likewise weird perspective.

The early reddit was a place for reading interesting stories and having intelligent conversations. Now it's among the most hateful places on the internet, despite all the "moderation".

It seems censorship doesn't actually solve the issue of hatred, it's a question of culture. In the early days it was a community of geeks and people looking to discuss niche interests. Now the mainstream is there with all its toxic political bickering and personal attacks. The more the thought police tries to turn social media into autocracy, the worse it gets. Early internet forums and remailers had trolls, but it was never this bad.

Hackernews btw also has much less moderation and is less horrible. Again, it's simply down to the users that you cultivate. Also unlike reddit, HN has never hired pedophilia supporters as admins and then tried covering it up by censoring mentions of it.
In a lot of the Michelin places, usually the chef will have a stake in it. To get investors behind them, they usually already have a name and bit of cachet and also worked for other Michelin-starred chefs. The ones I've worked at have varied from "celebrity chef, never actually in the kitchen, everything is actually created by the chef de cuisine and sous" to "micromanaging psycho" to "humble dude who just wants to make good food." So it varies - some manage every aspect of it, but usually there is a dedicated team for the front-of-house and the chef just does the creative side of the food, collaborating usually with his chef de cuisine and sous chefs. CDC and sous handle the day-to-day stuff like ordering, inventory, scheduling.
I didn’t read any fearmongering. It seemed to lay out the accident and the facts pretty simply.

Heck a large part of the article wasn’t even about those involved but the fact that police don’t seem ready or trained for the fact autonomous vehicles are operating on their roads. But that’s a failure of local government not the industry.
If I can't prevent Apple from collecting my personal data, I consider it as an intrusive violation of my privacy by Apple. Health data is a very small subset of personal data that does have some regulations. Its scope needs to be expanded to cover how BigTech, like Apple, use it. As for Apple building a reputation of having "responsible" data policies, the cynic in me remembers how Google too sold the same bullshit as "privacy respecting" company a decade or two ago - Apple seems to be following the exact same strategy with its marketing while slowly but surely escalating data collection.
I used to use their web interface a lot but it has been shut for years now.
The popular subreddits are a write-off but there’s still good discussion if you dig a little. I like to think the mainstream subs are acting as the fall-guy for lesser known subs, leaching the awful populace away.

It is a huge pain in the ass to get it working right I will admit. Took me hours of reading docs and tweaking parameters. I'm still not sure I understand all of it, but I managed to get it working such that it at least meets my needs.
I'm curious also, looking at their issue tracking (discord server invite looks like its gone stale... ) it seems like not a lot of interest at the moment. But it is weird how much old VB stuff is out there and because so few people put any effort into the old VB world, I think people would pay a premium for something that's useful. Having said that, their community edition probably would suit nearly everyone. I'm guessing a few people might want cross platform... So not sure how they make money, it seems like they'd need 1000ish customers to make it viable for 2 people. At the moment most of the things that have user counts related to the project (youtube etc) is much much less than that... but, maybe once they have a solid release a lot more people will come out of the woodwork. Anyways, interesting to see how they go.

As a NixOS, Magit and i3wm user, I think you should give it a try. I also like to have windows maximized most of the time, but it's nice to have i3 precisely for when I don't want that.

It’s not a cop out, it’s part of the variety of problems. Environment design can encourage certain habits and lifestyles. I agree that living an extreme life of abundance is also part of the problem. Though it’s definitely not the only cause.

In my experiences between Asia and Latin America, if you're going to be drinking alot on whatever occasion, it better be with a lot of food. Even Eastern Europe for instance with their famous straight vodka shots have something (In Russian, at least) called 'zakuski' which means 'Something to bite after', which means after each shot you eat a pierogi or whatnot [1]. It really does a lot to dampen the after-effects beyond what water is capable of.

You can get at most bars a full meal for around 5$ or sometimes even less. Cocaine isn't very popular with the locals, again especially the younger ones, as it's caused us a lot of societal problems (Stuff like people who don't even touch it ending up tied up in narco violence chiefly... It's just the worst vibes on top of that).

I'd quite like an EV but prices keep going up and up as demand increases. Even with today's high gas prices financially it doesn't make sense for me.
You don't need to pick one or the other. i3wm being a window manager, not a fully fledged desktop environment, means you can use it with KDE or Gnome for example.
Fossil fuels? they can be toxic, difficult to transport, polluting, and worst of all, highly combustible, even explosive!

Batteries don’t turn into garbage when you look real life data:

https://maartensteinbuch.com/2015/01/24/tesla-model-s-batter...

Quote:

On average the batteries have 91% remaining at 270.000 km (170,000 miles). If the linear behavior would continue, then the ‘lifetime’ (still 80% capacity left) can be calculated as follows: 91-80 = 11% times 50.000 km = 550.000 km, plus 270.000 km, gives 820.000 km (510,000 miles)! Note that a ICE car has a average lifetime of 220.000 km (140,000 miles)… And remember: if an ICE fails after say 300.000 km, you have a problem. The battery in a Tesla EV after the suggested 820.000 km (ok, lets take 500.000 km, still great!) still has 80% capacity left!

It is an American problem, we must do something. Which leads to antibiotics being over prescribed because parents don’t want to leave the doctors office without something to do afterwards.

Lithium is mostly sourced from Australia[1]. In terms of destructive mining and crazy foreign policies that is probably one of the better places.

Lithium batteries are almost completely recyclable now but aren't for reasons: include[ing] technical constraints, economic barriers, logistic issues, and regulatory gaps[2]

Recycling batteries would be one of the great steps forward in environmental progress. It would also reduce dependency on cobalt mining, which is currently done in Congo where your concerns about "destructive mining and crazy foreign policies" are fully justified.

Meanwhile, a third of the fish and chip shops in Britain are expected to close as a result of price hikes and embargoes from Russia/Ukraine. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/07/02/ukraine-wars...

Its a sad time for the UK.
there is a talk by Tony Seba on technological disruptions on Youtube that I find really interesting. in it he talks about the adoption of new novel technology as an S curve. so when a tech is new its expensive and there are very few adopters but if its genuinely useful then it will slowly disrupt the old technology until it hits a tipping point and the old tech is replaced exponentially. due to the exponential growth, the cost comes down due to economies of scale. the examples he gives are going from horses to cars, flip phones to smart phones (nokia, blackberry), solar panels, etc.

if this does happen in electric vehicles, then any companies that doesnt have a foot in the door will quickly lose market share. i'm a bit scared for toyota bc batteries require alot of infrastructure and materials that need to be developed ahead of time. by the time toyota comes around they might be so behind tesla, vw, gm, ford, etc. in cost that they cant compete on cost or range.
I'd also like to have PRs and issues turned on, but limit who can access them.
Yes every house in the US does has 220V or 240V. Either way a good majority of people can probably even get away with 120V. Not ideal but good enough for most commutes.

But honestly there’s a lot of people that exclusively charge at superchargers.
I know one person living in 1/2 a duplex, and they don't. They have one phase, and the other 1/2 of the duplex has the other.

GP's point stands, though. EVs aren't the right solution for every single situation, and may never be, but that doesn't mean they can't be an important part of the mix.
Uh...it still has the "you need this or you see a loved one suffer" thing going for it which leads to an ability to seek maximum profit. Large multinationals are monopolizing by buying out small vet practices, also allowing them to set prices. And those monopolies not only offer their own insurance, but there are also numerous others offering pet insurance.

So it might be the "closest thing to a fully free market in healthcare there is (in the US)", in that it's slightly better than the human healthcare market...but that's it. It's still nowhere close.

And there are plenty of other markets, all of them cheaper, and many with better outcomes...though I guess few countries with "freer" markets (since pretty much every other western country either has a single payer system, or has mandatory private insurance or similar, such as Switzerland), so I guess if your point is that having a "free market" approach to healthcare leads to worse outcomes in every instance?
1/ thermal management system works for temps -50c to +50c

2/ see above

3/ fast DC charging will give you 300+ KM of range for 30min of charging. 99% of the time you charge at home so over a year, you end up saving time with an EV.

4/ Batteries last 8-15 years.

5/ every house as at least 220v
License.

What dependencies they bring with them and their license.

Test coverage.

Whether it has sufficient backing - i.e. from a larger company or very actively and independently developed. Definitely do not look for a possibility where we have to fork and maintain it ourselves.

How does the "Issues" section look like.

Who are other users.

Where is the artefact hosted.

Exposes APIs in a way that we can easily wrap it in our app and that the wrapper part doesn't have to be complex or has to be modified specifically for this lib.

Has debugging and troubleshooting info/docs.

If the doc is too big or too complex I would preferably not touch it. I prefer libs which expose very little and are documented simply in human readable ways.

tl;dr is that private equity firms are _so_ aggressive in buying up local veterinary practices (especially 24-hour veterinary ERs), and making already-fat margins even fatter, that the FTC is trying to stop it.
