that's a good point, all the strife is really online. It would be hard to translate that into widespread physical violence because people would have to put their phones down, go outside, and do it IRL.

There are a lot of people who ride ferries (even over considerable distances) who aren't necessarily "rich people". Island nations like the Philippines come to mind immediately.
Then I may have incorrectly assumed the video I linked explains EFE, and I'm not sure if the theory described in the video has a name, but it uses what I would call tidal effect to explain galaxy rotation curves, which sounded to me a lot like:

> where the anomaly in the rotation of galaxies (which is what dark matter is needed to explain) can be explained by the gravitational pull of other nearby galaxies.

Is it possible producers of the 2013 video I linked above were unaware of EFE Theory (esp. if it appeared in 1983)? I do not see MOND necessary anywhere in the video I linked, personally think MOND is bollocks, but the narrator seems to have self-referred to the theory described as External Gravitational Effect (I think) at least once. I have to watch it again, it's very boring so I may have missed reference to EFE, or it may be unrelated and just similar, or the same and described from different perspectives, but on the surface, they appear the same. I've just never heard of EFE, not that surprising, but I don't really know for sure if it is the same as what's in that video I harvested from a Slashdot comment about 6 years ago.

I'm personally sick of making logins to things and the hurdles you have to go through to join some Forums.

A lot of the forums I visit allow you to instantly sign-up and log in with Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Apple, just like any other service.

You may get your first ten posts previewed before they go live, but that's a minor inconvenience for keeping spam down.

It's a time investment.

If you're not willing to put in the very minor time investment, then you probably don't have much to contribute to the community, and it's better off for everyone if you remain a lurker, anyway.
If it goes down as urban vs rural, it is likely to involve food as a weapon.
We had the same problem in our 2016 Outback until the head unit died. The only thing we really miss about it is the backup camera; but we can live without that, and apparently the stereo, as a fair price for being free of bluetooth audio hell.
Sorry, been there done that. Layout of the file is dictated by an external party. Empty or dummy file is major bad news that blocks other payments. If the file exists, it should have at least 1 valid payment. Payment of 1 cent to a dummy account is illegal. File is produced and consumed by 2 different software packages from 2 different vendors. If the business knowingly creates an invalid file, they commit fraud.

To be honest, calling a human and asking if they are really sure in this case is probably a good idea.
I don't think they "randomly insert keywords" like people are claiming, I think they probably run it through a GPT3 prompt and ask it to rewrite the prompt if it's too vague.

I set up a similar GPT prompt with a lot more power ("rewrite this vague input into a precise image description") and I find it much more creative and useful than DALLE2 is.
Not just neighboring parcels. Any improvements on one's own property (separate from the land itself) would be factored into LVT through an indirect tax on improvements via a higher assessment value. While certains areas can be "nice", not all homes in a given area are equally "nice". Some parcels of land will have their values "propped up" by the home that is sitting on it as well as proximate homes while others are "weighed down" in the same manner. This would result in unequal LVT assessments even for parcels of the same acreage and quality within a given area. As a result, It's difficult to assess the "actual" land value seperatley. From this, one can conclude that an LVT on a parcel with less valuable property or (a property proximate to less desirable property) plus an improvement tax can be lower in cost than an LVT in on a parcel with property that is more in demand.

> In reality, the niceness of surrounding homes is hardly a factor; proximity to economic centers (be it directly or by proximity to rapid transit) ...

Homes can be valuable precisely because they're located away from economic centers. That too is geography in action. And if COVID telecommuting is an indication of market preferences, home-owning adults prefer small, out-of-the-way towns with plenty of space, low property taxes, and good internet connections. So I'd hardly think that proximity to economic centers (usually cities) is as relevant it used to be.

How many uber drivers are in Priuses? I haven't ridden in a single one...

How many people do you personally know that make their living as an Uber driver? I don't mean pensioners making beer money, or people doing it as a side job, here.

I know one. He's been doing it for a year and half, or so. He doesn't own his car. he has to lease it on a weekly basis, and he's paying through the nose for the privilege. He's doing it because his credit is shit, and he has no savings to buy a car outright.

He's getting ahead, but if driver rates get cut, he'll be going right back to being a line cook.
Not necessarily you being there.
While there are definitely inefficiencies all over the place, companies generally don't hire people to do make-work. If it was simple to just pick out the people doing 10 hours of work a week, they'd find and fire those people. It's just not very easy.

Your lifestyle is supported by people working pretty damn hard. The people picking your amazon order and making your food at a meat plant are not playing grab ass on facebook for 80% of their shift.

8 billion people can't enjoy a hunter/forager lifestyle on this planet.
Curious if anyone has written about why estimates of the prevalence of small meteoroids at the L2 point were (possibly) too low? Were the estimates based on data about meteoroid prevalence entering the Earth atmosphere, and the prevalence is different at the L2 point?

I don't know of any state that gets less then it gives. Most articles that claim such ignore tons of things like food stamp, section 8, or military spending in that state.
Problem being: opinion pieces are cheap and very entertaining if your audience agrees with you. Investigative journalism is expensive and can be boring, not to mention potentially bad for ad revenue.
Perpendicular Lives II
The core research that "On Killing" was based on (S.L.A. Marshall’s "ratio of fire") was probably fabricated[1]. I'd treat any claims in the book with a lot of skepticism.

[1] From https://www.gwern.net/docs/history/s-l-a-marshall/1988-spill...:

> His surviving field notebooks show no signs of statistical compilations that would have been necessary to deduce a ratio as precise as Marshall reported later in "Men Against Fire".

Yeah but instead to ask for a ban on data harvesting "you" complain only about China avoiding the elephant in the room. As it's said: Lead by example!

Let's ban this data harvesting and make this a discussion about individual rights not China social app rise or U.S domination(though the meta apps). That's why I said you are playing "party" politics. Yeah China is bad but why should I choose the lesser evil instead to do the right thing?

I really hoped that China being a rough actor could actually bring something good to the whole world as we have to reevaluate our trust model: Why should I trust a foreign company, a local company, my gov or a foreign gov to harvest all this personal data. Why do they need all this data and they use it?

I think the EU digital market act and GDPR is a step in the right direction not selectively banning certain apps that do not align with the interests of a small government or an over reaching gov such the U.S. We have to fight for our rights not the exclusive rights of super governments to invade our privacy.
Not worth the effort presumably.
Call me stupid, but I just pick a really good css framework and either try to copy and / or learn from it.

Tech companies with great engineers and designers have given away these for free. I try to stand on their shoulders.
Reddit is a single forum though, the same themes and banality on every subreddit, even same moderators. A community needs a bubble to grow in sophistication, and subreddits are too porous.

Something like Mozilla Persona, easy login tied to an email, was the best solution imho
"Potop" is also missing it seems? Didn't find "Katyn" either.
I've always been uncomfortable calling myself a "software engineer" for this reason, and usually refer to myself as a "software developer". Most of the job listings I see at various companies use "engineer" though, and so my official title ends up being "engineer", so that's what I end up putting on my resume. (Though I guess I don't really need to do that; I could put whatever I want.)
Justify it however you like. Violence just makes people go against you and is wrong, full stop.
the talent shortage in Cybersecurity is in itself a threat to security; employers will be forced to lower qualifying criteria to make up shortfall, leading to easier penetration for moles
If there were 7k unfilled Cybersecurity jobs, that would be a problem. That there are 700k unfilled cybersecurity jobs, indicates an issue with how these job openings came to be; something deeply unrealistic is going on.

Still, if it results in a bunch of training in some very basic cybersecurity, I guess it will be beneficial.
You can look at it like this: a light rail line is a promise that transit will serve that area for decades to come.

And so when a light rail line comes through, the areas around the stations begin to develop, and quite rapidly, too. An example can be found here: https://goo.gl/maps/kEkn615bp5nUGVmv6 - that trolley stop was literally in the middle of an empty field when it was built, and there wasn't much around on the nearby roads, either.

A bus line gets added to where people already are, and can disappear as quickly as it came; there's no permanency.
Whenever I read this trash I wonder who is pushing the narrative. Is this writer even an American? What does he have to gain by fomenting a narrative that Americans want to go to war? Who's in his back pocket?

Americans need to wisen the fuck up that so much of this "America divisive, we disagree so much, civil war coming" is manufactured. Especially in the age of GPT-3 where it can be as simple as telling an AI bot to "make an article that Americans are divided" and then spreading it on various social channels.

Even HN falls for this shit without any sort of discernment. Even if this article is genuine, ask yourself what benefit does it bring you or America to believe that we are more divided and want to go to war? Absolutely none. Time to start pushing back:

[2] https://thecorrespondent.com/197/more-divided-than-ever-the-...
I think you're right, and I'd go one step further to suggest that it's already happening. The path to radicalization for young American males is well known and straightforward and already delivers stochastic terrorism (not isolated events) on behalf of specific interests.
> I know that if I go to outlet #1 I'll get one story and if I go to outlet #2 I'll get a different story and knowing that I don't trust either of them completely but instead bank on being able to understand between them.

This isn’t how media bias works. It is rare for media outlets to publish outright lies; if a fact is presented as a fact, it probably is a fact. The following techniques are much bigger sources of bias:

1. Opinions masquerading as facts. Not always easy to spot.

2. Selective publishing of stories. Outlet #1 and Outlet #2 make radically different choices about what stories to cover.

Fact checkers are powerless against these patterns of deceit, so a strategy that focuses on facts will win the battle but lose the war.
What conditions?
Why would the public trust an AI over an editorial team? Couldn't it be just as biased?
You said yourself that were were fuel taxes, so you're assuming they're suggesting replacing all of them.
Thanks, I love finding living examples of old forums :)
The prestigious media doesn’t write for the public that’s interested in this type of thing - that is, the masses. They write for approval from their colleagues, socialites, doner class elites. And those that believe they are part of it, or at least adjacent.

Honestly, if a far right reactionary party won massively and began to dominate institutions and social systems then these same media people would write the journalism that supports that cause. They always support whatever culture they elites of society are into. Any that don’t are classified as “nutjobs”, “conspiracy theorists”, and all together considered unimportant truth be damned.
Almost every Uber I've ever taken has been a Prius, save for the few occasions I've been in an Uber black.

Still, the math isn't much different for a Corolla or Civic. And the more you drive, the cheaper the cost per mile is.

Personally, I don't know anyone driving full time, but still know several driving 10 or so hours per week and they make about $300 for it.
It's a model inspired by DALLE 1 but it's not even very close to that.

But it does seem to know a lot of things the real DALLE2 doesn't.

Let us know when you have installed a nuke in your house. Comparing cost of rooftop solar here to utility-scale nukes in countries with lax safety regulations and enforcement says more about you than about utility costs.

We already have gas plants, and would anyway need them regardless, so including them in the cost of the renewables is special pleading.

These tricks do not fool anybody. Shame on you.
Seems to me they're alive and well. The increasingly powerful censorship forces on places like Reddit has moved at least dozens of communities to create independent platforms for themselves with a variety of codebases. Yes, some of the oldest and worst-maintained ones have died, but many others are still as active as they ever were.

There's also a thing where communities tend to only really migrate to other forum-types that work similarly. Between Reddit/HN style nested threads with voting, classic PHPBB style strictly chronological threads, and Slack/Discord live chat with many channels, good luck getting a significant number of people on one platform type to move to a community on a different platform type. A different software package that provides a matching platform type is a much easier sell.
But it's the right leaning majority that's ruling the country.
Not so surprising for the time, since things like heart monitors and pulse/ox didn’t exist, so they'd keep all the newborns in a communal nursery with nurses literally watching over them 24 hours a day.
Data Compression with Arithmetic Coding (2014)
The money is in the cities/suburbs. Any attempts to choke them off will inevitably hit everyone hard. At least those in cities will be close to aid delivery. Modern rural life is completely non-viable without copious amounts of gasoline.

Plus, there's a lot that happens between farm to table in modern agriculture.

I'd say don't let yourself be discouraged by GP. Just look into a company before you apply. Many have public reports and/or security research, both of which you could use as indicators.

> In a true right vs left civil war, at least as the politics line up right now, the right faction would win by simply isolating and choking off the cities.

I don't think it makes sense to draw up a hypothetical war this way based on how interconnected and interdependent the economy is.

Firstly, a tremendous amount of American food is imported and threatening the food supply would draw the ire of Federal forces, which would be counter-productive to a militarized movement. Secondly, raw food ingredients tend to travel very far distances in order to be processed for consumption. If supply chains were disrupted this way, you'd have a lot of raw food going to waste that can't be consumed on its own (most commercially produced corn in the US cannot be eaten on its own because it's designed to be converted into corn syrup). Third, global shipping hubs and large airports tend to be in urban areas, not rural. Rural shipping centers tend to be secondary or tertiary.
The noises out of government have been that this will happen for a few years now, at least from the perspective of an EU citizen. They should have been preparing.
Yes, that's my point; I'm happy at least someone understood it instead of downvoting me.

People love talking about how the US is the worst developed country across so many categories, without grasping the point that if something is clearly an outlier from everything else in a category, the definition of the category itself is flawed.

The US isn't that bad of a country in that sense that if you knew you were going to be born into the US, and you got one optional re-roll, you shouldn't take it. But for some reason that isn't totally clear to me people (though I have some hypotheses), people seem to think that we should be doing dramatically better than we are, and the fact that we're not in an even higher percentile of best countries to live in is some sort of unconscionable moral failing.

My hypotheses for the source of this idea:

* Pure racism -- people think "the US is a Western country with a European-influenced culture; why shouldn't it be doing as well as all the other countries that fit that description?"

* People confuse wealth with development. They think "of course [country X] is fucked up, because it's poor, but the US doesn't have that excuse". However, they are actually two independent axes (despite being correlated, of course).

* The existence of so much "America #1" propaganda makes people want to hold the US to a higher standard -- if country X has problems, well, at least they're not going around claiming to be the best country in the world.

* The ironclad pop-cultural dominance of the US in the Western world means it's on people's minds way more than random median-quality countries.

The title says it all: the EU Act aimed against literally half the top USA companies.

Almost every new generation of car will either get a new forum website, or added forum group. Fun fact, a lot of these are owned by one company. There is also tapatalk which charges money for access.
I find the parallels to Caesar in a different way. Caesar took his army into Rome because he had been ordered to return to Rome without his army, at which point his political enemies would have destroyed him.

Trump is talking about running in 2024 because it's the only way he can escape being destroyed by January 6 and various related legal problems.

Now, Trump isn't a general of an army. Yes, he was commander in chief, but the army would (I presume) not have followed him to the extent of obeying illegal orders. But if Trump wins and gets increasingly legally cornered, he's going to try to find a way out, no matter what laws it breaks, and some of those ways are going to tear the country apart.

I wouldn't have thought so. Plenty forums I visit on a daily/weekly basis.

The football team I support have an unofficial fan forum which still runs on an antiquated (but maintained) Perl based e-Blah system and is very active.

A few others include RailForums (https://railforums.co.uk/) which runs on more modern forum software and the Monzo Community (https://community.monzo.com/)

Isn't Hacker News technically a forum too, just a bit more bespoke & for lack of better words, reddit-y?
I feel like Forums are dying because most forum platforms SUCK. Full of whitespace.

Discourse must be the nicest forum platform out there because of single-page scrolling, like-feature, and solution feature
That is nothing like the DIPAs I am familiar with which are typically very dry and strongly hopped, with only enough sweetness to make it palatable. What you describe sounds to me more like Barleywine, though admittedly the style has wide interpretation. I also think we may have very different definitions of the word “accessible”.

> Codenames is the equivalent to call your variable John.

Imagine that you have a singleton object floating around your system, every single function written anywhere in the system must interact with that object heavily, and as a consequence everyone is familiar with what the object does and where it's defined.

What problems do you think might arise if that object were named "John"?
> It's especially bad when there's a major lack of documentation, so I gotta either set up tons of meetings or spend time examining code just to figure out what Galactus, Omega Star, and Papaya all do.

But you have to do that anyway. If you don't bother examining a service's most-commonly-used functionality just because the service's name implies different functionality, what kind of security engineer are you?
But how does this effect the wealth and power of elites? That's the point. A civil war has to be organized from the top, and elites, who always look out for their own self-interest first, aren't going to organize an expensive, disruptive war to prevent 10yo rape victims from getting an abortion.
Dave Grossman is the guy who goes around giving police departments seminars on the warrior mindset, including telling them that they'll have the best sex of their life immediately after they kill someone in the line of duty.
I still enjoy a good forum. Forum posts feel more permanent than Slack/Discord/Teams where it's much more conversational. The latter feels more like IRC with more history retention and the ability to do voice and video.
