Yeah, same in Chicago, really the same as mass transit anywhere: You need density to make it work. My little town of under 100K population tries to do city bus services but it's a joke. Most routes run once or twice an hour which is not often enough to be convenient. Busses drive around empty or with one or two riders. It's a service that costs millions of dollars a year to operate and is used by a tiny minority of the people. It's a sacred cow though.

They have this nice page* of movies with Ukrainian subtitles. I am teaching English to a family of Ukrainian refugees. Films in English with Ukrainian subtitles would be a fantastic resource. Does anyone know of such a service?

$0.13/prompt can only be useful for artists/end users. Anyone thinking about using this at scale would need a 20/30x reduction in price. But there's still no API available so I think that will change with time. Maybe they will add different tiers based on volume.
One of the commercial use cases this post mentions is authors who want to add illustrations to children's stories.

I wonder if there is a way for DALL-E to generate a character, then persist that character over subsequent runs. Otherwise, it would be pretty difficult to generate illustrations that depict a coherent story.

Example ...

Image 1 prompt: A character named Boop, a green alien with three arms, climbs out of its spaceship.

Image 2 prompt: Boop meets a group of three children and shakes hands with each one.

Is it a feeling of imminent wealth? Or is it a feeling of equal opportunity for everyone? It seems disingenuous to frame it as "those silly Americans thinking they're about to be rich". You might as well frame unions as "protecting the most useless employees from being fired".
There's a tool called JavE, which was quite good 13 years ago:

Just a suggestion - perhaps consider adding 'for [Windows] Developers'. It might reduce your landing page bounce rate (and would also have saved me saved me a click but that's no biggie but might irritate others')

The money government prints is backed by the best asset of them all - the power to recover it as taxation.

Paying the tax to the tax collector is far cheaper than the alternative amount you end up paying to the bailiff when they confiscate all your assets.

Taxation is, ultimately, the only 'reserve' asset there is. And as you can see it is very definitely backed by real assets. All your real assets.
Lets not forget that promotions are for those who build new stuff and those who maintain old stuff don't get promoted.

To add further insult to injury, colleges send SWE/SDEs to the work force to learn to 'actually code', while companies have no time to train jr developers so they are just thrown in the fire and hope for the best.

> But in the US the history of unions often ended up with ties to organized crime.

Is this true, or just another case of historical revisionism based on pop culture?

Not denying that there aren't examples of this, but it does seem a bit like people like to go back to a few famous criminal individuals to justify that unions are "bad".
Exactly. The last thing the overworked need is more cultural anesthesia.
> This is synonymous with the current iPhone situation as many people only buy it for the benefit of Apple screening everything that can run on their phone

I would love to read some surveys on this matter, because I highly doubt that security/privacy is a significant factor for more than a few percent points of iPhone buyers.

(I base this hypothesis on the fact that, in virtually every field of technology, end users have shown that they will overwhelmingly sacrifice privacy and security in exchange for convenience and cost savings.)

I expect that the main motivations for iPhone purchases are aesthetics, performance, ease of use, integration with the Apple ecosystem, and especially fashion/status symbol factor.

As for the rest of the comment, as other people have already pointed out, you can prevent evil maid attacks by putting the legally-required "open" mode behind a factory reset. Which is roughly what Android phones do with their unlockable bootloaders.

Daily Dot is not the original source, they are one of numerous independent publications raising the same point. So that is irrelevent here, and they appear to be citing specific threads and not just engaging in open-ended speculation, and the phenomenon of organized alt-right trolling is real, so your comment is inaccurate at every level.
> with close to 60% of it's energy coming from renewable sources

Only 30% of the world's electricity comes from renewables, so your claim seems really far-fetched.

Your link does not mention the word "renewable" at all. Indeed, it seems barely related to your argument and wildly discursive.

It's just supply and demand putting its greasy fingers in everything combined with poor unionization from the employee side (of their own accord, often enough).

Nurses could force better circumstances if they collectively accepted to work more sane shifts and make society deal with the problem of too few nurses instead.

Animators could be better if they stopped accepting working 60+ hours to push animation which gets bingewatched for a few cents in a day.

But we collectively accept the circumstances, and so a few years of intense practicing drawing is paid worse than taking a bootcamp on how to write API calls and play planning poker (poorly).
When there is a competitor, they can adjust pricing. For now, it's virtually magic.

Santa Clara County, CA, had that in 1974-1975.[1] It was a failure. Mini-buses running around with zero or one passenger.

The trouble is, there have to be a lot of people wanting roughly the same trip for mini-buses to work. Otherwise you're just running a taxi service with an oversized vehicle.

It works when there's a common source or destination, such as an airport or a downtown area or a school. It doesn't work in a big diffuse area, where everybody wants a different trip.

And that Shakespeare - a lot of his stuff is pretty dark.
Did the "least cost router" scenario ever come up? I'd imagine that a certain kind of people would feel very much entitled to e.g. share consumption with a neighbor, switching both houses to a shared meter on either variable or fixed rate based on time of day, and power retailers frantically balancing between chasing them looking for suspicious patterns and pretending that it never happened to avoid inspiring others.

(I do believe that switching to variable rates would be a good idea, that in even the poorest of the poor would the grand scheme of things be better off if they had to occasionally disconnect, less bad than if the alternative was the entire grid occasionally browning out, including services that might be more important to them than their home consumption. And peak prices would even be as high as they are now, if they weren't propped up by an army of fixed rate consumers who don't show any have of demand flexibility almost be definition)
How the System Was Rigged
You should ship a competitor! Sounds like you found a great market opportunity.
The trick is to make sure the heroic efforts are rewarded quietly, but the unheroic ones create lots of noise.

This is inherently difficult because the heroic efforts tend to come as a result of very noisy incidents - everyone already knows the database cluster was literally on fire and wants to hear how Jane put it out while simultaneously remagnetizing the backup drives. The lead's job is to make the noise ensuring everyone knows Morgan's the one who did the boring rewiring of the backup-restore process to automatically sync and fail over to another AZ when thermal metrics start trending bad.

One thing I've noticed as we've been trying to integrate some on-call processes across formerly separate teams is that "our" incident reports were about 25% timeline/responses/impact analysis and 75% RCA and plans for future mitigations. "Theirs" were the opposite. Our incident rate has trended down sharply over the past two years even as our system grew; theirs has scaled up roughly at the same rate as their service count.
... and it doesn't matter how easy the job is, you need people to do those jobs. In this labor market, it's hard to find people of all skill levels. I'm not suggesting QA is easy or doesn't require a lot of skill either -- it's very hard to find a really talented QA person.
Its a pyramid scheme distilled to the fundamentals.
On 2)

CEO pay in 2021 went up 18.2% in 2021 and inflation is through the roof. Rich people wealth has exploded and inflation is through the roof as a result. That whole talking point is a scare tactic but inflation is through the roof and normal wages are in the toilet.

Typical humans would save the money to live on through daily expenses.

CEOs spend on big projects with inflating costs, circularly inflating costs.

It’s simple arithmetic and a whole lot of propaganda the rich are the best. Really the masses are just poorly educated (<13% have advanced degrees).

If it comes so far (which I really doubt) as them simply ignoring it, their European Operations can be fined (directly through their bank accounts if need be) or their European employees can be jailed.

They can also be disallowed to do business with European consumers and companies.

In short: "The fines will continue until compliance improves. Get in line or get out of the market".

They don't have much political leverage, given how few people they employ and how little taxes they pay over here.

Their standing in the US isn't the best either so it's doubtful whether America is willing to invest much political capital over something she herself is considering.
Ha! I have family members who were the bureaucrats who audited that paperwork your wife sent in. The situation is exactly the same on the government side. Over qualified people doing meaningless paperwork while politically connected upper managers make tons of money joining conference calls from the golf course. It's great at crushing the spirit of anybody who actually wants to accomplish whatever the organization's mission is.

And when the service being provided are also paid for by the government the taxpayers take it on both ends!

As apposed to today where you can’t get it at all if apple and the app disagree about anything?

Since there is only one app store for iPhones, almost every app vendor is willing to conform to Apple's guidelines (which are often pro-privacy and protect the user). Otherwise they lose out on a significant market share with a lot of spending power.

smaller party to make a competitor on the official store

Sure, they will pop up. But Facebook, Microsoft, and Google will start iOS app stores and app developers will go to their app stores because of network effects.

Some regex engines cannot handle separate parsing (due to need of a state machine to track next continued line) broken down due to [prior] end-of-line notation.

and most regex engines cannot handling labels of assignments for later reuse within its expression.

It is however still useful to leverage a higher language to do the constructing of a final regex pattern from repeated patterns (basic building block) prior to engine usages.

There’s many things you can do outside of work that others have suggested.

In terms of making your UX skills better, try doing some UX work and ensure you have a complete story.

Share a crisp problem you’re solving that’s focused in scope. Share an audit of similar experiences that inspired you (they shouldn’t just be competitors). Share insights that you gained from that audit.

Then after all of this, share your mock-ups and reinforce them with how and why you landed there.

Overtime, you will start to get really good at thinking of parallel experiences that will inspire your work.

As a designer, I’ve found all teams to be really receptive to this process (especially eng that can review those audited experiences and agree or disagree with your points).

Edit: this should be obvious, but talk to your users as often as you can and always ask why to get to the heart of their points

I find it so strange that roads aren't viewed as a public service, and instead should be taxed (regressively) to cover the cost of the road by those using it.

I'm fine paying fully for my own road use, as long as I can stop paying for all the government services I don't use. But as long as the government is taking half of my paycheck, providing me with roads is the bare minimum they could give in return.
Have you read it? Do you have any info on how the vendors can react to these changes in terms of policy? Like is there anything that disallow apple to offer post-sales support / warranty in case you install any software / app store? etc?

Sorry, this is a total strawman. Automation doesn't need to be integrated with the build in such a way that it creates noise, and it doesn't mean you need to let changes be applied without human intervention.

I'm hooked up with Snyk which scans all of my dependencies and sends me a summary email if it discovers any vulnerabilities. It creates PRs that can patch dependency vulnerabilities, and I can apply them if I approve of the change. If I don't think the change is worth it or the vulnerability is relevant, I can go to the Snyk site and mark a vulnerability to be ignored, or even tell it to ignore it for a month or whatever. I'm sure Snyk isn't unique, either.

Yes, a human should be involved in decisions. No, it doesn't need to be noisy.

I'm on Node.js and working on multiple projects with crazy numbers of dependencies, and the number of "new vulnerabilities" I see is typically a few per month at most. Some months there are no new notifications at all. It simply doesn't change that quickly, and it's not constant noise unless you ignore the notifications, and that's just bad software engineering.
> Your search returned no results.Remember that it searches for the EXACT phrase you typed! (And dates must be of the format MM/DD/YYYY)

Requiring an exact search is fairly prohibitive. For example I searched for "feeling frustrated" and got the above error, despite 100% certainty there are strips about feeling frustrated. You (or someone) could update this to search by semantics and not by keyword, using a combination of SBERT (or similar model) + a vector database: https://www.pinecone.io/docs/examples/semantic-text-search/
> If just one car is parked a few inches beyond the edge of the parking lane

In places where I have lived and worked that have trams the car always comes off worst because the tram is just so much heavier and more robust. And no one is going to defend the car owner because the tram has right of way. I have even seen buses just touch cars that were illegally parked in bus stops, just a gentle scratch and easily deniable, but you can bet that the car driver never does it again.

> Ask black and queer people how golden the 50's were. Or women.

Or people outside of North America. Really, the main cause for the '50s seeming like a golden age was that the U.S., protected by two oceans with its massive industrial capacity and population, emerged from WWII as accidental global hegemon. So it was easy to be optimistic when not only did America win the war, it was very prosperous and on its way to running the world. A decade after the Great Depression, American capital was helping to rebuild old Europe. All of the domestic cultural changes were just second order effects from this situation.
