I should have been more clear.

Yes, filtering inputs is important and happens at every level of the sensory, nervous, and brain systems. I'm describing two substantially different levels of filtering and the dancing gorilla test isn't the one I'm focused on here, as it's the high-level attention filtering, as the gorilla is surely not filtered out by the subconscious eye motions (i.e., never seen), but filtered out by the higher-level attention mechanisms. I expect that much ad-blindness is indeed these high-level mechanisms.

What I'm wondering is if after decades of avoidance training, the separate gaze-orientation center (I forget it's proper name right now) which is subconscious and separate from the visual cortex, is trained enough to minimize the eye's gaze in the annoying areas such that the focus point never lands on them and they never get the opportunity to be read (and ignored by the higher level mechanisms). Eye tracking studies using actual eye tracks and not merely heatmaps would tell us the difference - if the tracks still follow the edges, bright spots, etc. into the adverts, then all the 'blindness' is cortical, but if the eye tracks avoid the ad zones, it's been trained down to a lower level.

Then the state should stop building roads. Until that happens, they're free to regulate what vehicles can drive on those roads.
> I don't understand the hate towards high cost of living areas.

It's all the whining. These folks are privileged to have options, choose to live in certain areas, and enjoy the benefits (higher pay, more jobs if they get laid off, amenities, etc.) of those choices. But they still complain.

I honestly don't get the psychology. Is it some sort of defense mechanism for folks who don't want to admit they're the elites that they decry? Rent costs an insane amount in SF—and its driving out long time residents and minorities—because Facebook engineers make $500k/year. It's not "billionaires"--how many houses can Zuck buy? It’s the tens of thousands of rank-and-file employees making 5x the US median household income.
> If someone cant accumulate roughly 15% of their annual compensation in savings, while earning $200-400k/yr, then I have no idea what else could be done here to help.

The thing with those crazy Valley salaries that you hear about here is that a lot of the time a good amount is in the form of stock that vests on a rolling basis. So maybe you get $150K in cash and $75K in stock. After 401k, California and federal taxes, California housing costs, and California <everything costs>, I can understand how someone making “$225K” in the Valley might not be able to save a whole lot.
Have you... read the article? Like, at all?

They are specifically talking about the issue of data ownership, not performance. They are talking from a user perspective, not from a developer perspective. And they are specifically not talking about how centralizing is "good enough" - because it fails exactly at the data ownership point.

Ok let's diligence this:

There are about 60m trucks on the road in the US [0]

There are 6m construction/mining workers, 6m installation workers, and 4m building maintenance workers. [1]

Using that definition, at most, 25% of trucks are used for work.

If you want to be extremely generous, there are also 13m transportation drivers (being very generous because that 60m does not include big rigs) and 8m factory workers (again, unlikely to use trucks for work).

Using that frankly incorrect definition, you still get only 62% of trucks being used for work.

So no, under NO circumstances are the "vast majority" of trucks in the US used for work.

A lot of this makes sense. This seems consistent with my understanding of who you are. If your assessment of them was accurate, I'm surprised they left so readily. This makes me wonder what the 12 or so second dates would say.

I wonder if this suggests there were men you were even more interested in who you didn't go out with again because they seemed too perfect, because you felt you wouldn't be good enough.

The Merge has been a pipe dream for a long time, but at this point, the implementation exists. Multiple testnets have already undergone the PoW -> PoS transition. Some minor implementation issues came up that have been fixed. I'm pretty confident it will happen, it's more a matter of more extensive testing and coordination at this point.

Yes, it would, but that’s part of making the overall car and it depends on lifetime. As EV batteries can now last 500,000 miles (vs 250,000 miles for first generation long range EVs), that’s not as big of an impact as many assume. (A lot of papers assume really low EV lifetimes, like just 100,000 miles, and no secondary reuse of the battery and they assume really outdated and inefficient numbers for manufacturing the cells.)
Sure, but there's still a big difference between 50% and 99%. In this case it wasn't just about population, most landmass was also covered.
> Fuel prices and registration fees are only slightly higher in California

I'm not sure what the prices and fees are in California, but for comparison, in Mississippi it costs me about $45/year for registration and today I paid $4.17 for fuel. If I recall correctly, vehicles newer than 20 years old can cost significantly more to register here, but I don't have anything that new.

That new merge looks fantastic, much clearer about what's going on ( not that the existing one was bad, but as an occasional user, completely separate windows are easier to track than different colours in one, and I don't have to keep reminding myself which change is which. )
Also what is the purchase price difference between the these two cars (the malibu versus the hummer)? I'm not American so not really familiar with either but from what I know I assume the average person who would but the ev wouldn't be cross shopping for the malibu. It seems like a bit of a straw man to present the figures for these two cars. It would be better to have what the average model 3 buyer would have otherwise purchased.

In my case, I couldn’t leave the country where I lived, I didn’t have the residency there and it wasn’t possible to get back home, because my home country closed the borders. I spent 3-4 months renewing temporary visa, having 2 year lease contract ahead and no job to cover the expenses. I managed to get a job, then another one, then return back home, then get an offer and fly to another country once again. My salary was substantially lower than theirs, but it somehow didn’t have a critical impact on my savings. I managed to get both of my cats through all of this, it wasn’t cheap as well. I think these guys are going to be fine, that’s my point.

Sure, but the same could be said for artillery or cruise missiles or guided bombs or nukes, no? Pretty sure similar arguments were made in the past for longbows and trebuchets. Killing at a distance is as old as projectiles.

It seems to me collateral damage making the news is a big improvement over the old days. In the past, when giant armies clashed, entire cities were razed, the countryside left barren, huge populations were displaced, women and children enslaved, etc. Now it's a big deal when a single wedding or child is hurt... what used to be so commonplace as to not even be worth mentioning now makes headlines. That's an improvement, isn't it?

The ability to perform "surgical" assassinations with precise targeting should be overall less damaging than rolling in with tanks and napalm and carpet bombs.

IMO the "facelessness" of drone war is sort of virtue signaling... why should it matter whether you can see your opponents before you kill them? It's not like you're giving every opponent a fair trial with a jury before you kill them. It's war. More precise targeting of a smaller number of targets, even with a higher error rate, should still end up killing fewer people overall than an indiscriminate total war.

Now, more selfishly, from a US national security perspective: When we're expecting big powerful states again as opponents (as in, China or Russia instead of Afghanistan or Iraq), frankly, we'll need all the help we can get. It's one thing to mourn innocent Afghan civilians lost during a small-scale conflict, it's another thing to be ill-equipped to handle the bigger threats of the future against enemies who aren't at all concerned with human rights.

I don't think it is realistic to expect a peaceful, utopian future for our species in the near-term. All signs point to conflicts escalating as resources diminish, democracies wane, authoritarianism rising, and climate change exacerbating divides. As cold wars heat back up and proxy wars proliferate, we'll either be sending in more technology or more troops. Personally, I'd rather it be American drones than American lives.
It's not clear to me whether this means physically or economically; i.e., could the 2.0 satellites be put into orbit by Falcon but not at a cost that would make it worth it?

Those cars' emissions can also be made worse over time without changing anything about the car simply by changing the fuel used to generate electricity....

>Also, a Hummer EV is displacing other large vehicles.

this is the key point, if you are going to compare compare apples to apples. I mean you can always keep making EVs bigger and thus more inefficient till you have total cost & environmental toll parity with some smaller car.

Though its unlikely that somebody who was going to buy a regular hummer was going to opt for a malibu & nevermind the price. a good starting point may be comparing cars with Total cost of ownership parity & that too when both cars are past initial production ramp.

my cynical brain says the truth is much simpler, fossil industry they wants a stream of these type of articles so they can keep the illusion of 'just as bad' alive for buyers on the fence. that is until then next fossil friendly administration shows.
I think you're confusing the horizon of places on the surface of Earth that you can see with the distance to another satellite you can see.

6900km from the center of Earth. Figure you don't want the link to point within 150km (6500km) of Earth, to not pass through much atmosphere and to not see too much atmospheric glow (even with narrow filters, this matters).

Effectively you have an isosceles triangle with 6900km on the common side and an altitude of 6500km (tangent to "top of atmosphere" at 150km.

sqrt((6900^2 - 6500^2)) * 2 =~ 4600km
Military ships routinely run with AIS off in peace time. This was the case in at least one of the recent US Navy collisions as I recall.
That would be comparing two completely unrelated things.

If you want to factor in manufacturing emissions, you would have to do so for both. Unlike the manufacturing process for the battery, fuel refining is not a one time thing, but part of the emissions associated with operating the vehicle.

Thanks! Yeah, my wife keeps trying to drill this into my head as well and even goes as far as to ask what I'm making and help prepare stuff this way as well. It -does- help a lot, but I still find myself losing track of something.

But not really; if your local regional plant is nuclear and is consistently the contributor to the lesser sized coal plant in the next region, then the emissions for your bev are less than the coal region.

And given how often Nuclear does provide greater base load than smaller coal plants; if your most local plant is nuclear, your emissions are less.
Wildly different.

Outside of music critics, I don't see him talked about much at all. I love his work as a producer for John Cale, David Bowie, and the Talking Heads in particular. Iirc he also worked on the two Iggy Pop records (the Idiot and Lust for Life) that Bowie produced. I also like his solo (non-ambient) work and work with Roxie Music, but the style of singing isn't my favorite. I know he didn't do vocals for Roxie, but the style of singing is similar to me.

He had a great conversation with Rick Rubin on the Broken Record podcast.

There is no way to construe the Afghani government as an aggressor in an attack involving 15-20 people who were led by a Saudi noble who happened to live in Afghanistan, and who wasn't even established at the time as the definite mastermind. Furthermore, there was significant internal pressure in Afghanistan to give up Bin Laden, including from the main religious authorities. Instead of waiting for this to Halen, the US simply invaded, barely a few weeks after the attack.

NATO acquiesced to the invasion because the USA was out for blood, and their closest toadies weren't about to get in the cross hairs.

If you're familiar with one of these (or other, similar) bits of trivia, the other one's probably more believable on your first encounter with it, because you've already been exposed to the underlying insight that makes it possible.

I guess there will be differences from use case to use case, but in general migrating from PocketBase to a more common horizontal supported stack is not different from rewriting your application.

Internally, each Collection creates a standard SQLite table that holds the collection records, so migrating the data structure shouldn't be too troublesome. The only thing that may prove difficult to migrate could be reimplementing the access rules and filters.

But in my opinion, when your application reaches that level of growth requiring multiple servers and services, your business use cases mostly likely will have changed several times already from your initial idea.
