> The goal is not to replace urban truck traffic with CST.

Though reducing that traffic is one goal.

"""
In urban areas, city logistics can reduce delivery traffic by 30%.
"""

I guess this is achieved because deliveries get aggregated by destination in the logistical center (where they have space for such buffering), while currently many places might still receive multiple deliveries per day (depending on sender).

"""
In the CST system, the goods are already sorted and bundled by destination when transported in the tunnel. This bundling process means that they are optimally prepared for the subsequent micro-distribution process.

Are there any budget-friendly lens (assuming vintage) that also showcases this effect?

Question: I work on a OSS CRM that historically relied on a CMS (Drupal/WordPress) for authentication.

Now we're looking to make it more standalone, which means coding our own login etc, and eventually things like SSO, LDAP, etc

Would this be a good fit?

If I understood the docs correctly, every install has to do their own setup, so it might not work? (some partners run it as a SaaS, but most run it as a PHP app on their own VPS).
thank you for making this. Just wonder if you can find out where the material used to make the supplements are coming from. Sometime it is all about the quality of the materials to make these supplements.
The firehose is not all the data.

Twitter’s value depends heavily on human views of tweets (not part of the firehose), not on the tweets’ content (the firehose).
Change of ownership is inevitable, as people don't live forever. When that happens, if the new owners aren't interested or motivated to keep funding HN, it could easily go the way of the dodo.

Hopefully archive.org is involved in archiving HN, though unfortunately archive.org's future itself is in jeopardy.

ang i couldn't find the option to make or remove new labels in the app. alternative is TwoBird, much easier to use imo
2. phone - while this app is majorly okay, I am super annoyed by the giant list of ways to contact a person that hangs just under a contact.. (things like message with whatsapp, call with whatsapp, video call etc with all the different apps. its clutter, rather just have an option to open in app) doesn't really need an alternative tbh it's good enough

3. calendar. i hate this app. from the bottom of my heart. its impossible to delete all the instances of a recurring event, doesn't have a decent monthly view. clicking on an event in the view doesn't open it (why?), changing the time never works on all the instances of a recurring task, some reminders just appear twice? it's unusable. alternative-install an open source calendar from fdroid. those are better. and you can export your data easily.

4. calculator. it seems to think in stupid. big bold buttons (okay, should be optional tho) taking up most of the screen, can't do anything remotely complex. no way to plot stuff, theres lag on the UI. its just freaking dumb and no one asked for it.

5. photos. welp, promised me free storage forever. used all my data to train some AI models. then took back the storage. this one's on me I guess.

6. drive. slow and filled with needless animations no one asked for. really basic things are missing or hand to find. can't open a terminal to edit files. alternative sync thing, a self hosted server.
Just another example of Elon Musk committing to doing something crazy to generate headlines then not following through with it. Not sure when people are going to realize this guy's a total fraud.
I meant redundancies as in 'if this network goes out, we have a backup network (on a different provider) we can switch to and continue processing transactions'. That said, I don't have the expertise to know how feasible something like that would be in this scenario
I would never work for a company where I have to use a "corporate Windows" laptop. If management does not understand developer needs, working there is likely to be not pleasant in many aspects.
oh yeah, and all the app icons look the same it's ridiculous and I don't want it. alternative- use a launcher, change your icons.

I typed "an email address" and it came up with

[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}

which is similar, but has some interesting differences. That shows it's black-box association. Then I tried "my email address" and this came out, line break included

is john.doe@example.com
My email address is \w+\.\w+@\w+\.\w+

"An identifier" vs "a Javascript identifier" does work as expected, but "a number" and "a floating point number" don't. "A quoted string" doesn't escape the quotes inside, but if you add "with escaped quotes" it does.

So, it's cute, and might set you on the right track, as long as you study the output a bit.

An advantage that we cannot be sure exists to begin with since SpaceX isn't piblishing financials. And for some launches Arianne Space is already now competitive using the Arianne 5, by all means an out dated design, one that was initially intended to carry a European space shuttle into space.

More generally so, I have no idea why people expect any company to own a market completely. Any market is usually big enough for one than one company to be successful.

There is still some confusion on whether the Indian court opined that dolphins should have the rights to non-human personhood or the Indian courts granted such rights. Either way its a welcome move.
The biggest flaw of all prepper radio lists is that they do not contain knowledge about how easy it is to locate a radio transmitter. Every radio user should do at least one "radio fox hunt" to understand how to locate other people and / or how easy it is to be located.

You can do that even with radios on this list, no special equipment needed.
I think this is trying to solve delivery inside cities. However, I don't see cities beeing clogged by parcel delivery services. Transportation of goods is more problematic on the inter-city level. But that's too far to build a tunnel.
What is causing troubles for cities seems to mostly be human traffic (that's why rush-hour is a thing) - for that subways could indeed be a solution.
Unless Switzerland's traffic is looking completly different from what I know from Germany of course?
I don't see what's wrong with drawing a moral line.

And it's not that all content needs to be inclusive, it's just about not showing content that is actively harmful to marginalized groups. Seems like a low bar to clear.
Fun with lifetime-extended results of assignment
Knew of the existence of these, but never seen the emptying process. It’s a very neat design consideration the way the barrier rises up out of the ground, so you’re not left with a gaping hole.

I think the obstacle to connecting trash receptacles to a subterranean logistics network would be just how much tunneling you’d have to do.

CST will connect to urban distribution hubs, with the last mile fulfilled by courier bikes, motorbikes or small delivery vans.
Yes it does.

It's an actually awesome mix, because it calibrates itself towards maximum understanding, if you have an hormone feedback system - or a replacement for that stuff in non-carbon systems.
On the face of it, the last one does not sound so bad, as long as the NYPD is operating with permission from the jurisdictions where they are operating.

Just like how a company wholly owned by New York City could have contracts with New York City, London and Paris at the same time.
>> Crown land is owned by the Canadian Crown; the monarchy owns all crown land officially. It's administered by a split across federal and provincial jurisdictions.

No, Crown Land is controlled by the provinces. No, the Canadian monarchy does not own crown land. The Crown owns crown land. Essentially The Crown in Canada is its own legal entity and instrument for the purposes of administration of public lands. The Crown Estates of England and Scotland are something different again, and the Crown Estate owns things like tidal lands and actual real property.

There is Federal Crown Land, but that is almost completely in the northern territories. This is down to Canada's constitutional makeup because provinces control resources.

The Federal government can expropriate land from the provinces when it has a reason to do so like for military bases.

Here is a link that shows Canada Lands. The white area are Provincial Lands.

Well-written contracts don't really have multiple valid interpretations. I don't know why we should assume the contract wasn't well-written.
Can the BMD really shoot 12K? At 12K you're limited to significantly compressed formats. With so much of the data missing, resolving power is noticeably degraded when you look at a crop.

I've heard that the tiny photosites also contribute to the sharpness issue, but I won't pretend to understand why.

A 4K crop of a 12K BRAW file looks 1080p-ish.
I never understood the spam accounts argument…

One of musks main things he wanted to do with Twitter was to fight those spam/bot accounts.

He thinks getting rid of them is good for Twitter. If there are more bots than estimated Twitter will get even better than anticipated. If there are less bots than estimated this means the user base is more healthy than assume / one problem you don’t have to solve.

Each scenario is neither clearly good nor bad for a potential buyer.
Are you just being pedantic, or do you have a point? I’ve stated my stance.
Coverage of earth by earth sensing satellites in visible spectrum is so high, that you can literally write different message into sand / earth every hour. No radio construction necessary XD
Twitter has previously lied to investors about user engagement and paid close to a billion in settlements for it. [1]

Seems to me that the company with a history of lying about engagement shouldn't immediately be trusted about engagement figures. Would you disagree?

> A wider gauge, the pamphlet notes, would also increase “riding comfort” by enabling the use of wider trains with more room for passengers.

But from some web searches, it looks like BART actually uses standard-width cars, and their hard construction standards (tunnel clearances, etc.) do not allow for more.

So - why did BART go broad-gauge, but chicken out on the width? Wider tunnels obviously cost more...but so the longer sidings, longer station platforms, etc. that long-and-skinny trains need.
A cop is within 8 feet of you during a traffic stop. So if the cop puts you or another passenger under arrest, you have to stop filming. And if you were filming before and caught the cop doing something illegal, they are now incentivized to arrest you to make you stop.

A bystander interfering with police has nothing to do with recording and is already illegal. This is clearly just an attempt to make it more difficult to hold cops accountable.
>Twitter's CEO gave a pretty good explanation of how they combat bots and how they calculate their mDAUs

Company that previously lied to investors about engagement and settled a massive billion-dollar lawsuit makes further unproven claims about engagement. You believe them why?

Should corporations which deliberately lie to investors be immediately trusted again, especially on the same topic they got caught lying about previously?

Your argument is an appeal to authority where no authority exists. They're liars. Not just liars in general, but liars about this exact topic. Do you trust BP's offshore drilling because the CEO now insists it's totally safe this time?

>Twitter doesn't claim that the bots in Musk's feed are under 5% of users

He never claimed this, this seems like a strawman. Did you read the complaint?

>this isn't hard to believe

Choosing to believe a company that has admitted to lying to investors is your prerogative, it doesn't make them trustworthy or correct -- and it absolutely doesn't make your argument based in any kind of reality (why should we take the liars at their word?). Why go to bat for a company with a billion in fines for misleading investors? Under what basis do you believe they've reformed and can be trusted?

I don't understand why you believe Elon can't be believed because of his history of lying while you ignore Twitter's sordid past of securities violations and lying to investors.

>Elon Musk, notorious liar

Why don't you label Twitter as notorious liars, given their billion in settlements for lying to investors?
What I have had physics PHD friends explain to me is that the 'wave' evolves completely deterministically. The way they see it, measurement is just 'getting entangled with the wider world, thus concentrating the wave function'.

Almost everything we interact with has this concentrated wave function. And when you see something without this concentration the process of how it 'decoheres' is chaotic. It just turns out that the chance of concentrating in a spot is proportional to the wave self-conjugation.

I could imagine the idea 'almost everything is engangled' meaning the chaotic nature of this concentration process is essentially perfectly random. Since you'd be interacting with trillions of other waves.
Worst case there are some wrong statements in Twitters fillings. Thise have to be incredibly severe to have an impact on Musk's obligation to purchase Twitter. A simple filing error or mistake is most likely not enough.
So, basically, if you rich enough in the US, you can simply ignore the courts?
> Wouldn't this underground network be more efficient than the above-ground railways for cargo? Cargo trains above ground need to stop at lights, need human drivers, etc etc.

I think CST vs. cargo rail are very much complementary.

Cargo rail need huge logistical centers and rail yard for sorting, those can be outside of town. CST provide the delivery network from those logistical centers to urban areas.

In fact the first leg of CST is from the biggest swiss post logistical center (https://www.google.com/maps/@47.3197669,7.8162172,1399m/data...) to the biggest Swiss city.
Federal Crown Land is almost exclusively in the northern territories.

Oracle considering 'thousands' of layoffs, could happen as soon as August
Note that the story is based on another outlet's report, though The Information's story is behind a hard paywall, here:

https://www.theinformation.com/articles/oracle-discussed-lay...
The more regions a service is scattered over the greater the odds are that a single region outage somewhere in AWS will take down the whole service.

Consider the extreme case where your service is scattered over every AWS region: here an outage of any AWS region is guaranteed to take down your service.

Compare that to the case where your service is bound to only one region: then the odds of a single region outage taking down your entire service is reduced to 1 out of however many regions AWS has (assuming each region has an equal chance of suffering an outage).

To guard against outages, the failover service has to be scattered over entirely different regions (or, even better, on an entirely different service provider... which is probably a good idea anyway).
>the 1Gbps was 30 euros

That's still pretty good. In Austria that's 80 euros since telecoms here have the same government protected cartel as in Canada. And it's not even available in every building of the city, but you need to check before you move whether you have fiber or not in the building.

Similar in Germany.

One of the things I miss from Eastern Europe is the fast and cheap internet that's available in any building in the city.
As another commenter suggested, above-ground tubes could be used in less space-constrained geographies, thereby keeping the benefits of an enclosed system, with lower cost.

To my mind, it’s hyperloop with all the nonsensical parts stripped out.
I think so. I wish OCaml or Clojure had become popular like Go and Rust when they were the fresh thing of the day..
Disagree. Light is analog, your RAW files are probably 12 bit max.

A physical Black Pro Mist filter is always going to diffuse light better than an ADC'd emulation working on quantized data. It's noticeable if you look.
Looks great! I currently use Auth0 for my projects. One specific feature in Auth0 prevents me from switching to any other IAM: rules (or their new version: actions).

It’s basically running some JavaScript upon logging in (or signing up, or when a machine to machine token is created). It allows me to extend the created JWT with custom properties and perform backend logic (e.g. perform an API call upon user registration).

Is this something Logto will eventually support?
What if there is an easy and painfully trivial answer to achieve world peace and avoid wars?

Imagine you are one of a million people on this planet who know the secret. Everyone else won't believe you because it is too simple and hence very easy to abuse in the other direction. What if it was as simple as flicking a switch and just doing it?

Here is the problem. If it just about flicking a switch, how to make sure people don't switch it from utopia back to dystopia?

Your utopia needs to be a self preserving system even in the face of violence. A pacifist system that isn't self preserving will be destroyed and taken over by non pacifist systems that are self preserving at least in the short run.

A democracy needs the backing of a military force to keep it alive. If there is something better than democracy then it will also need a military to protect itself.
Was curious to try it, but got turned off when asked to create an account, and didn't bother.

What is the botnet owner thinking of gaining from a small potatoes search engine? Seems rather futile?
I used the wrong words, obviously.

If Tesla stock drops and his loans against Tesla stock go negative, he'll be forced to liquidate more shares to make up the difference to keep the loan afloat... this would then lower the value of the stocks even more, and the positive feedback loop could let all of the air out of his imagined wealth.

In other words - He has effectively sold shares at a price by borrowing against them... if the price falls, he'll have to do something to make up the difference... which is about the same thing as a short-squeeze for him.
You claim that lying about user engagement could never qualify as a "material adverse effect". On what basis do you make this claim?

As a thought experiment, if 50% of Twitter's claimed MAUs were bots, it would absolutely be material.

Given Twitter has a history of lying about this exact metric, under what basis do you believe that the bot issue isn't material? Blind trust in the same company that lied about it before?

I'm trying to understand why people trust the company that was caught lying to investors about the very subject they were lying about. Where do you get this trust?
8, 16, 24 or 40 GB of RAM. What is that?
"It turns out I don't want to do that" isn't something that should be supported in regards to written and signed contracts. Selling a company is a large enough thing that there's downstream effects when the contract is signed and both parties are committed, and there's a real cost to the counterparty saying "on second thought, nah".
Rails isn't any more productive than any other languages. Unless you are talking about dead programming languages in comparison.

What you need to do is figure out what the application is doing. Identify what the best language is for that task and just micro service it.

Move complicated tasks into smaller services. Don't compound the complexity into a monolith whatever you do!

You can get best resource utilization by containerizing an application. Most people say just multithread it Puma ruby whateves... you will go into coherency hell if your app is not designed inherentlt around the idea of puma. Just use unicorn and run it as a container. Right size it for that scale out accordingly.
They flagged it because either the truth hurts or it went against their ideology.
Which US progressive ideas are batshit insane in Europe? Is it immigration and freedom of movement, or universal health insurance, or taxing the rich at a higher rate than the poor, or is it strong environmental regulation? Is it legal abortion, or the right to form a labor union? Those are the main goals of progressives here.
sorry, by batteries I meant transporting batteries. Those are fire hazards.
The technical (rather than legal) problem with the baofeng is the lack of input filtering. This means if you are near a strong transmitter on any nearby band you won't hear anything!

Since in the UK it is common to put radio masts on a hill top this can make them useless on adjacent hill tops. Adding a decent antenna makes it worse. In fact the only way to get clear receive is to use an input notch filter or a narrow band and highly directional aerial like a yagi

Edit: if you really want to use it on 2m or 70cm amatuer spend another £40 and get a yaesu
Waste was never the big problem with fission, nor is it the blocking issue now. The world has gravitated toward dry cask storage of spent fuel, which is both simple, sensible, and cheap. It only contributes $0.001/kWh toward the cost of power from fission reactors, and precludes no future options to dealing with the spent fuel.

What has blocked fission is one thing: cost. For a while, fission advocates could stand pat, knowing that eventually fossil fuels would have to be moved away from, to fission, regardless of how expensive fission was. But now renewables have undercut fission, so that (somewhat lazy) expectation, that fission was almost entitled to be the post-fossil energy source, is no longer valid.
