> The letter cited a May 2 Reuters article that said, "Tech giants such as Google, Meta, and Netflix may have to bear some of the cost of Europe's telecoms network”, Europe's digital chief Margrethe Vestager said on Monday, following EU telecoms operators' complaints.

Google and Facebook both own over 50,000 miles of submarine cables [1], thus comprising a major part of the backbone of the internet.

Then there are ISPs, who specialize in providing the infrastructure that connects this backbone to the end consumer, and ISPs want Google and Facebook to pay for this, too?

I agree that folks need to have a discerning eye on this. There are several channels on YouTube where lawn care guys will mow an overgrown yard for free. Yes, they are filming it and hoping to drum up interest in their channel, but providing free lawn care is objectively a kind and expensive thing to do. In these cases, the amount of effort expended being actually kind makes it obvious it's not just some stage with props.

have 2.25 million population before WW1 and then decline in population for almost 100 years? They still haven't recovered (1.89m). It may be an enormous mistake to read into their allocation policy because they've simply had a very easy time allocating so far.

St Louis population has declined for 70 years. It is very affordable. It's just not hard to accomplish affordability like that.
I think it’s valid to question US-centrism broadly in datasets like this, but presumably that choice was made in selecting the Reddit sample, which is dominated by North American English.

A model is more useful if it approximates the speaker’s intent, not the listener’s interpretation. “Right” is complicated in language, but it’s hard to see how you’d use a model full of cross-cultural misunderstandings.

"The mathletes who try out for the team and make the cut are combined into one class section and fly through competitive algebra, geometry and calculus during the school day. Mr. Frazer essentially bends the rules to move faster through harder material and pack more than two years of math into one school year. “I cover everything the state wants me to cover,” he said. “But there is no restriction on covering extra material.”

The big difference between a traditional honors class and Mr. Frazer’s class is the way students learn to approach tricky problems. He teaches accuracy, but he also teaches speed, since competitive tests are timed. He believes that pattern recognition is a more useful skill—in math, and in life—than cloning questions his students might have seen on their homework the night before."

There are ways to detect problems with results due to things like fatigue or attenuation. And there are ways to deal with those problems (like forced break time and switching up tasks).

It's a wonder that none of that is built in. But maybe things like MTurk aren't built to maximize worker effectiveness because it costs too much. Are there better quality crowd-sourcing options?
Yup. The second you prioritize one piece of content over another by other than an automatic means like chronological order or votes you're not presenting user generated content any more, you're making editorial decisions.

The fact that we've tolerated this for so long is appalling.

https://archive.ph/wPQ9B (Bloomberg: US Crosses the Electric-Car Tipping Point for Mass Adoption)

Great quote from the thread piece:

> Sales in the United States will gain momentum as battery-powered cars become more commonplace, said Felipe Smolka, who follows the electric vehicle market for the consulting firm EY. People will become reluctant to buy cars powered by fossil fuels, he said, out of fear they could become obsolete and lose their resale value. Carmakers have largely stopped investing in internal combustion engine technology.

> “The energy behind this transition is already at a point where is there no return,” Mr. Smolka said.
But you just responded point by point with non-sequiturs.

I made a comparison between 2007 and now, while you just stated ignorance of the past and made pessimistic assertions of my ability to estimate relative security.

Meanwhile you hold a belief like, "the future will be good because capital will be allocated better"
Pardon my ignorance, but I thought deontology evaluates actions by measuring them against a set of rules. I find it hard to believe that you can't imagine any rules that would prohibit filming someone else's home.
PicoMite – Basic Interpreter for the Raspberry Pi Pico
I am puzzled. 'statement' and 'expression' are items of JavaScript syntax (or C or Java or C++ or Perl or whatever). So to explain it, you point to the syntax definition.

This isn't going to be explained satisfactorily by analogies or intuition, and it won't be logical at all, because it isn't, and you could define the grammar with no such distinction or a different set of distinctions as many posters already showed here.

Besides being arbitrary, I also never found this a useful distinction after having programmed in languages that don't distinguish this. And look at how GCC introduced ({...}) to convert back a statement into an expression.

Anyway, to define this, you have to simply list all the things: statements are 'return', '{...}', 'while() {... }', etc., while expressions are '5', 'f(...)', etc. That's it, that's the explanation. No intuition, just a comprehensive list taken from the grammar.

If course there is some rough idea behind it, which explains why there is a difference, but this is a history class, not an explanation: statements do some action, i.e., this is an imperative concept. Expressions have a value, i.e., this is a functional concept.

tl;dr the dual core processor is quite slow, but relatively stable running the software that can compile for it so far in Linux.

It seems like Vision Five is at least pushing things forward a bit on the software side, unlike some of the other hardware manufacturers of SBCs.
True, it’s actually a lot simpler than RabbitMQ. People seem to assume “giant ball of enterprisey Java means” that the experience using it will be complicated. Kafka is extremely reliable, simple to cluster, battle tested (I haven’t hit an actual bug in Kafka in ages), the self-healing is turnkey, and has way stronger guarantees for clients.

Where it bites people is that it’s not a queue and scaling is harder than just add more consumers.
For me it's the opposite, there's a ton of pro-nuclear people on HN who ignore

• our past failures to get long-term storage of nuclear waste right

• the cost and time overruns for building nuclear plants in the last several decades

• the possible catastrophic failures even in a country like Japan

• the long term storage issue and its cost.

These serious unsolved issues are being hand-waved away again and again.
And even in countries with more useful wire transfer, you wouldn't buy drugs with them.
I really hate this mindset. I rented for about a decade. Renting allowed me to bounce around from job to job in various cities and grow my career. Had I owned houses during that time I would have lost money due to the transaction cost overhead. I was also not responsible for any upkeep, which I'm not well suited for anyway. Oh and I absolutely did invest. My money was simply invested in the stock market which had a far higher rate of return than the housing market.

I own today, but I'm well ahead of most of my peers that bought houses right out of college.
Of course the electric car is simpler, and batteries are getting cheaper. But the electric car with enough range for my use case is significantly more expensive in total still.

We have tax advantages for electric cars, very expensive fuels, very cheap electricity. Still the deal doesn't close yet.

The infrastructure is hopefully developing also, so they would get working chargers and working payment systems by the time the batteries have become cheap enough too. And charging systems that don't cost thousands per post for apartment building parking lots.

In a sense, the system is riddled with so many inefficiencies at every layer. The only way to do it properly is to have a vertically integrated company like Tesla. They have their own chargers and do a lot of their own components instead of using subcontractors. They don't use low quality charging services or apps or payment cards. The experience can be controlled only that way.
> I don’t think this is the case in any meaningful way, especially through the 401k mechanism, as participants are forced to delegate their ownership rights to the fund manager

A little less outrage in the world today. Progress.
We need to cut down on cars a lot, the emissions equation doesn't make sense otherwise. Because (a) replacing cars is hugely CO2 intensive and (b) there doesn't seem to be any reasonable timescale path to leaving the currently known oil/gas deposits in the ground and not pumping & burning them up. Until there is, EVs are just additional emissions.

Gas is pretty cheap right now as there's little network activity due to crypto winter - people are holding their crypto.

Indeed, a human readable address is nice if you trust whoever gave it to you (ENS is naming not identity, someone else can register dcolkitt.eth or dcolkit.eth or dcollkit.eth if they like).

In my first few months as programmer in the 90's, I realized that human inputs were sketchy. It was from a form field for which state someone was from (USA). Fifty possible states, 2500 different entries. Sure there was a bit of garbage, but 95+% were recognizable states...but why random capital letters? How do you get a space in Wyoming?

It was a good lesson at the start of my career that I see playing out over and over. When I see some cool demo of statistics across the country or globe, I'm more impressed by the effort of cleaning the data than the stats behind it.
The "Hotel Tonight" example hit home with me, recently.

I used to use that app all the time, then kids happened and spontaneous hotel reservation became rare. Fast forward a few years and a circumstance came up that made me think "Hotel Tonight". I discovered it wasn't installed on my new phone so I grabbed it. It was unrecognizable. Maybe the prices were as good, maybe it could still be used the way I used it previously, but it looked like it turned into a hotel booking app when what I wanted to see was a small selection of good hotels nearby with unusually low prices. One of the features was the lack of choice.

Now they make you manage the very limited subset of router options (essentially SSID and WPA passphrase) from their web portals. Then they push the updated configs to your router via remote management protocols. How many vulnerabilities do those open?
They are downplaying this whole thing heading into the midterm elections. Inflation is transitory, it's the supply chain, it's Putin, it's gas station owners and oil companies, we're doing a soft landing. These are all cover stories for doing nothing. Low interest rates + $5T in bond purchases fueled remarkable growth and all time high employment. Raising interest rates and selling those bonds will do the opposite. This reality is uncomfortable heading into midterm elections, which is why the Fed has largely done nothing to curb. And yes, 1.5% is nothing.

> 2314 from Fukushima

Woah I did not realize they used that figure. Everyone agrees that there were between 0 and 1 deaths from radiation due to Fukushima (vs between 31 and 4000 radiation deaths at Chernobyl). There were deaths caused by the prolonged evacuation at Fukushima, which must be where this figure comes from.
It looks as if these (at least 妛) are being used in various places on and offline. It’s eventually possible that they will become associated with one or more meanings and perhaps a pronunciation.
I'm convinced the guy is an architectural equivalent of Andy Kaufmann. The closest thing to an "anti-Frank Lloyd Wright" that exists.

The DNS "master file"/"zone file" format is a bloody disaster for the same reason, and practically unparseable. Every implementation parses them differently when it comes to parenthesis.

From the grammar in RFC 1035:

<domain-name><rr> [<comment>]

<blank><rr> [<comment>]

<rr> contents take one of the following forms:

[<TTL>] [<class>] <type> <RDATA>

[<class>] [<TTL>] <type> <RDATA>

All the columns being optional creates the ambiguity between the <class> and <domain-name> columns in the TTL missing/2nd form. In the real world <class> is always "IN". It's even worse since the set of <type>'s is unbounded and the <RDATA> grammar depends on <type>

I believe this is one reason why tinydns has its own format https://cr.yp.to/djbdns/tinydns-data.html
Web 2.0 was a design movement. Web 3 is a movement to promote decentralized services and complexified digital assets that mostly weren't decentralized and did not demonstrate enduring value.

> why they're racist

You’re mad about the right thing (the system is rigged towards money controlling everything). Your anger has been directed in the wrong direction (immigrants, et al.).

This is a class issue. The affected classes are disproportionately weighted, but include everyone who isn’t at the top with working class laborers taking a significant brunt and undocumented immigrants getting massively exploited.

The system is doing what it was designed to do and it’s destroying itself from within.

The problem is the owners. Sowing distrust among affected groups is how they stymie class solidarity.
Exactly, wind and solar are massive environmental disrupters, huge amounts of land and habitat destroyed for small unreliable gains. Nuclear on the other hand is turned into the bogey man of clean energy.

If I was designing an "APL for graphs" I would probably take a lot of inspiration from NetworkX[1]. Especially: generators for various graph types, the ability to read dicts/lists as graph data, and a huge suite of graph-related functions.

But I would also want dedicated notation for the most common/composable operations like APL. I particularly like how Jq[2] "functions" are inherently combinators, and Jq has some nice semantics for mapping and filtering operations on trees, but I don't really like its syntax that much.
