I've done a handful of National Park trips in the last year and a half (Yellow Stone, a few in southern Utah).

I would say National Park trips are "expensive" in ways other than the cash it takes to get in. We tried to plan our trips avoiding the major holidays and spring/fall breaks of the local school districts, etc.

- They're overly crowded. It feels like a theme park. Looking at a waterfall and you're standing shoulder to shoulder with strangers. It's crazy.

- Parking is nearly impossible to find. Some days you have to pay for parking and bus into the park.

- Every campground was full. Hotels and BNBs are not exactly cheap in those areas.

We'd ask workers/etc about the traffic and they'd always say stuff like, "oh yeah, this is nothing. You should've seen it X weeks ago!"

So, sure the National Park itself is peanuts to get admission. But it was disappointing in a lot of ways. For those reasons, I would be more interested in paying more dollars to see State parks, if all the other "costs" were "cheaper" :)

Its the recommendation engine. TikTok is exposing both Instagram and Youtube as pure garbage. They clearly tuned their content machines to make the most money and censor the most content. The gap was wide open for someone to actually create a recommendation engine that rewards real grass roots content creators and gives users the content they want to see. This is a classic example of capitalism, the monopolistic technical choices of Google/FB/other media are getting torched

Say what? Can you explain what you are basing that on?
Both the Hyundai Santa Cruz and Ford Ranger have tail gates that will partially lower to the same level as the tops of the wheel wells, providing a perfect platform for 4x8 sheets of plywood. I have a friend with a Ranger and we have hauled plywood and other larger objects with no issues. Would I want to do it routinely? Probably not - but for casual hauling they work well enough. I would expect the Scout to be designed in a very similar way.

I've owned trucks with 8 foot beds in the past - I'd rather have a second row of seats and a smaller bed as well as a vehicle that's overall smaller than the 8 foot bed trucks of old. These newer designs are a great compromise of functionality and convenience, which is why you are seeing them take over the lower end.

What I really want is the return of true micro pickups like the original Nissan hard body :(
No. Not that.
Yes, Gab is far-right, whether you judge it by its owners or its users.

If we say that Gab isn't far-right, it's kind of like saying Grindr isn't just for gay men. That may technically be true, but in practice it's not.

Also, judging Gab by its ownership, if you look at the Wikipedia page for Gab, and go to the Antisemitism section, Gab has made multiple antisemitic statements officially. Straight from the company. The owners of the site are far-right.

Gab only exists because far-right people get banned on other platforms for breaking hate speech rules.

The far-left as a group barely exists compared to the size of the far-right. Far-left would be advocating for violence to dismantle the neoliberal system, these would be your anarchist-types.

In real life, I've never met anyone on the "far-left" when you describe it this way, while I've met plenty of openly racist and LGBT-phobic Republicans who are pro-violence: the kind of people who want to, I dunno, be a part of a coup and enter the Capitol building? The kind of people who cheer when Donald Trump tells police to rough up the suspects a little more.

What Republicans call "far-left" is just progressive center-left people nonviolently advocating for equality. They don't get banned from the generally non-political platforms because their speech isn't hateful and it isn't violent. Facebook/Twitter/TikTok happily take their money and call it a day, they don't care about politics beyond the money those politics bring in.

Platforms like Parler are much more blatant than Gab about banning liberals who join simply for existing. I guess you could say that Gab stays true to its policy against censorship, but that policy is there to benefit the far-right over anybody else, and I think that's an important detail.

And, by the way, if you head over to Gab’s homepage it’s all right-wing political stuff. None of the suggested homepage topics are non-political. It isn’t teenagers dancing or funny skits or cat videos like TikTok. I think that’s evidence showing that Gab isn’t just some impartial algorithm. It’s curated.
What is GAB? I have really no clue, I would need to google to find definition of this acronym. (European-based)
For me, listening to audiobooks was a game changer. I guess TTS is even better because you can listen to pretty much everything.

Any app/software you can recommend?
IIRC IME also does a lot of core functionality like power regulation. Unlike many in this thread probably think, it does provide a lot of core functionality that you probably don't want removed.

2) what did you like about it?
3) what didn't you like about it?

So many crazy posts like yours...

As others have said, why did Texas have so many problems when it got cold?

Taking our infra, designed for your temps and stating "others should have this too" doesn't make sense.

I live just outside Toronto (Ontario). When you were struggling with a brief cold snap which cost 246 lives because it was -19C, large and heavily populated parts of Canada faced -40C and no one died?

"Texas was not winterized, leaving it vulnerable to extended periods of cold weather, leading to widespread power outages"

why wasn't it winterized?

Because statistics show it was a controlled gamble NOT do to this. UK airport is the same deal.

They could use different (and more expensive) materials, but they gambled it wouldn't be needed, much as why Texas didn't winterize the equipment.
Tell that to the people whose homes have been destroyed. or perhaps all the people that have died in these conditions. It's not typical in the UK. Imagine if you had to emergency evacuate your home for some natural disaster that you'd never have imagined was possible where you live. Would you really be so cavalier? Would you really say this?

It is only required for emissions diagnostics. Which is a small subset of total engine diagnostics, though the most common things to go wrong on an engine affect emissions so for practical purposes it is engine.
What disturbs me is that it seems to be taken as a given that a piece of software running on our computers can even be “banned” in the first place. This statement would have no fangs if we could run any software we liked on our devices. But we’ve gone so far down the walled garden path that the implication seems to be “removed from app stores” => “no longer running on US customers’ devices.” Regardless of what you think about TikTok in particular, or about the benefits of walled garden platforms, this is a chilling omen of things to come.

How is self-hosting protecting from Copilot infringing on your license? One can imagine Copilot fetching your self-hosted repo and adding it to its database, or someone forking your self-hosted repo, hosting it on github which will still be used by Copilot. The issue of respecting the license of Open Source code by these "AIs" it orthogonal to where the source is being hosted.

I have no problem with Copilot and other "AIs" using my source code, as long as they respect the license. If copilot spits out (even partially) my GPL code it is still GPL. Other than that - it's free and open for corporate and personal use.

There is a link to the service manual on minidisc.org https://www.minidisc.org/part_Sony_MDCC-2000.html
All these instructions for self hosting various services are looking like guides for rsync-based backup before Dropbox. We need some easy way to set up self hosting of all the popular decentralized systems at once with good security, proper backups, etc ready to go out of the box. Of course it needs to make migration away to true self hosting easy.

Or even something like a Raspberry Pi in a case with all this stuff.

Does it have a possible market besides a (I presume small) number of (rich) people looking for the newest thing?

btw... there is _HUGE_ difference between it is possible to do something in theory than in praxis, there is NO nuclear reactor that could scale in short periods of time.
france which is _HUGE_ on nuclear still has at least ~7-12% of gas (depending if they can use solar and wind or not)
and they still import power. so it's basically bullshit that it's just economically efficient, it's simple not possible, else it would've been done, but there are only load following plants and not more and there are still no small plants or fusion plants or some other stuff.
I was listening to my minidisc player on a train in Italy in the early 2000s and got chatting to an American girl, and she had absolutely no idea what I had in my hand. I was like "see, there's these little discs, and you record your music onto them" and she couldn't even compute what I was showing her. I was pretty stunned too, because all my friends in the UK (I'm British) knew what they were and lots of us had them. It was like we were in two completely different worlds, somehow.

Also, the main advantage not well discussed following the rise of the iPod and smartphones, was that virtually all minidisc players were RECORDERS. We really lost something, culturally and creatively, when audio devices lost their record-ins. I used to love plugging my headphones into the stereo-in on my minidisc, and walking around capturing the sounds around me. Later playing back through those same headphones would transport you directly to wherever you were at the time. Amazing for field recording and dumping mixes and tracks onto them. Technology progresses, but it seems like the past few decades it hasn't necessary improved a great deal as it does, and much gets lost.
This is also true of places! I was shocked to learn that the 1,100 square foot 1950s house I grew up in is at $850,000 on Redfin. But in the 1990s, my town was a boring faceless suburb near a dangerous city (DC). It didn’t have a Whole Foods, nor did it have whatever the the equivalent of Whole Foods was in the 1990s. The town itself moved dramatically upmarket in the last 30 years.

Much of Silicon Valley also fits the bill of places that were drab faceless suburbs in the 1980s when people’s parents bought houses there. But it’s not like there wasn’t expensive suburbs in the 1980s. It’s just that Mountain View today occupies the same market position Scarsdale NY or Greenwich CY occupied in the 1980s.
I read an interview with a CEO of Efteling once (basically Dutch Disneyland) and they asked him if they would ever introduce a "fast pass". His answer was that they would never do such a thing because they want don't want their park to discriminate between rich and poor. All families are equal inside the gates.

I think moreso that people took the 90% headline to heart, me included, is a sign that we're less skeptical than we should be.
I am trying to trivialize the result, although much of it is targeted at the broken and wrong example of the blog.

It talks about rebalancing between two assets. For a gambler this could simply be the bet and the bankroll. (this is the example used in the blog).

(ignoring the fact that the blog is playing a +EV game) what was described is "proportional betting". The short term outcome is a normal distribution with a mean of zero. Like the martingale, If you run it to infinity, you will always go broke. for proportional betting, the failure mode is a string of bad bets taking the bankroll below minimum bet size (the long tail on the normal distribution).

When we talk about real world trading, the whole idea of "shannon's demon" is trivial. In the zero growth case, it assumes the mean value is known and constant so it just boils down to sell high, buy low.

The methodology used in this list is deeply flawed. It depends on US Census Bureau data which does not make distinctions between subgroups of ethnicities, despite them being culturally and racially distinct from each other. Indians (which could be broken down into further subgroups), Afghani (which could be further broken down into Pashtuns, Tajiks, Uzbeks, Hazaras, etc.), Japanese and Laotians are not the same people but they'd all be classified as Asian. This does not paint an accurate picture of the incredible diversity that exists in the United States. In contrast, Uganda, which was ranked the highest on this list, has much more granular data available.

I'd urge you to pause your ignorant, inflammatory, and xenophobic takes for a moment to reflect on whether or not they're even true.
I bought a new 2011 TDI JettaSportwagen and didn't find the dealer experience any worse or better than my other dealer experiences (2007 Ford, 2017 Chrysler). Dieselgate was a disappointment, but I was thrilled with how they handled it; we had grown out of the car, and they purchased it at a nice price with zero fuss. I would love it if that happened again.
I have to say, one thing about the U.S. is that there is AC everywhere - even up north. We have AC in elevators, on the busses - everywhere. Europe needs to start adjusting to the new normal of hot, hot summers.
It doesn't have to be extremely easy, and it isn't extremely easy at every company. Twitter's security was bad, worse than it should have been for their size/ data footprint.

I do agree that data collection is at the core of the problem, but Twitter really should have done a better job.
Perhaps something like:

We provide services to people in exchange for advertising revenue. Some people try to abuse this agreement through URL stripping. That means those who don't URL strip are subsidizing those who do. This isn't fair, so we will use technical methods to prevent it from happening.
They don't want more developed countries. Period.

Also, I don't know where you are from, but brazil has a healthy agritech industry selling know-how and technology to other countries.
Regarding the relevance of the example expenses for Disney:

Disney's 2019 Annual Report [0] shows total revenues of $26B for their Parks, Experiences and Products segment. Within that,
revenues for admissions are $7.5B, merchandise/food/beverage $6B, resorts/vacations $6B, and some miscellaneous licensing $6.5B.

An industry or market research company reports [1] visitation in 2019 of 155MM. I'm assuming this is somewhat accurate.

Admissions revenues per visitor are around $50, compared to a cost of $150 or so quoted in the article; TFA might be overpaying for tickets. The resorts/vacations (I assume this means hotels) revenue is $40 per visitor or $160 for a family of 4 for 1 night. This, combined with the prevalence of <$200/night hotels near Disneyland [2] suggests to me that not all visitors are staying in the Disney hotels, and the ones who aren't may be paying less than the $450 from TFA.

All this to say that the current costs for Disney are likely lower than what TFA suggests, unclear by how much.

I've always thought research papers were a longcut to comprehension.

I don't know if this is because the subject matter is novel, or that the authors are better at math and science than writing.

I wonder if there could be a standard for grading a research paper on readability to raise the status quo.
You just proved their argument
Neither the fact that the failed state of Venezuela has made some moves towards Bitcoin, nor the amount of nonproductive/wash volume that crypto does per day or whatever, serve as counterpoints to my claim.

Currency had an actual definition, expressed in terms of other actual things. It's not just whatever you say it is, or whatever someone might use to perform an economic activity.

Additionally, Bitcoin is plainly not "massive successful". It is at best "marginally utilized".

It's not irrelevant to the FCC, a United States federal organization. I don't think any brokers are selling "execute code on 10s of millions of US citizens' phones" to foreign entities, and if they were I suspect the FCC would have something to say about it.
This will quickly fall below the fold, but: TikTok saved my life.

It woke me up to a profoundly different worldview than the one we've been raised with in the west. That's what this is really about, not privacy. Or more precisely, yes security is a concern, but I can't believe that's the only reason, because we've all been lied to so many times that all I hear now is the establishment crying wolf.
Serious question - how do you engage with new studies and find value? Or do you? I'm trying to rejigger what my info pipelines look like and I'm looking for ideas. I like hearing about new stuff, but you're right that I just can't trust a science headline.

FWIW, I was one of the LOGO kids in the early 70s, playing with mechanical turtles with Cynthia Solomon and Seymore Papert. I don't remember a time when applying an algoritm to a problem wasn't a potential solution. I think the main benefit here wasn't so much learning simple programming than it was "internalizing the metaphor of algorithm." (i.e.-you can use algorithms to solve problems.) You don't have to have a computer to use a binary search algorithm (but it certainly helps.) You don't have to have a computer to apply the "follow the left hand wall" solution to maze traversal, as any DnD dungeon crawl player will tell you. And then figuring out why it doesn't work when there are cycles in the graph is sort of important.

I saw a video of young kids in England "playing LOGO" before their schools had acquired computers. They were taking turns playing the part of the turtle while other kids spoke programs like "forward 4; right 90 degrees." Papert was big into "embodied learning" where concepts are translated into physical actions and artifacts, so it's no shock he would recommend something like this.

Somewhat related... my mother was an educational researcher at the time, so I'm one of the few people who can say "my mother taught me Lisp when I was 7 years old." Also... I learned unix sysadmin in the 80s maintaining my mom's Sun 3/60. Pretty sure the idea of using a Sun as a daily driver was an idea she picked up from her interactions with Papert's lab.

I just finished reading Brian Dear's "Friendly Orange Glow" where some interviewees said they felt Papert was a bit arrogant. But... having benefited from both PLATO and LOGO, the only thing I can say is "more arrogance like Papert's, please."

Not a civil engineer, but everywhere uses different materials spec'ed to withstand the environmental factors that occur there. You live in Arizona which uses asphalt that should tolerate expected weather conditions in Arizona. It si probably a different asphalt than what gets used in Maine and a different asphalt that gets used in Florida because all three of those place need infrastructure that accounts for different weather conditions.

There isn't really a one size fits all answer, each material has its pros and cons that works best for different conditions.

Interestingly boring. Idaho has a podcast about their roadway system. If you listen to enough episodes, one thing you learn is Idaho uses different kind of asphalt in different areas of the state. Why is that? Some part of the state have the high desert climate and other parts of the state have a more colder and mountainous climate.
