The messaging interoperability is actually very worrying with the current discourse on scanning messages for certain content from the EU. Also various factions in the EU have been completely against end to end encryption.

What we can expect is weak protection on request of the government which puts people genuinely at risk.

If that happens I cannot possibly support the DMA or the EU on this but it'll be too late before it becomes apparent.

Nice! I’ve been writing (and reading) regexes for over 20 years now. I can usually ‘read’ them on sight, but I’ve been wanting this tool for when it all goes wrong.

Which of course always happens at least once or twice in any new dataset/usage.
Agreed about Google, but not only did it tame 4 years for such an obvious breach to be corrected, but I also don’t believe they were even fined for this particular violation - they decided to start complying after the IAB consent flow ruling.

They’ve basically been allowed to willingly and maliciously breach the regulation for 4 years.

Facebook appears to still be getting away with breaching the regulation on so many levels.
Children are under parent/guardian supervision and they cannot make risk assesment and accept risk it makes sense to age restrict risky items.

What I said obviously speaks against your own body as well. The fact is if you have a secular government and a democratic one at that they lack authority to do many of the things they are doing. They exist to govern liberty not enforce world views and keep people from hurting themselves. Democracy should be like Unix, if you decide to shoot yourself in the foot it should enable you to do it in the most efficient way possible.
It's definitely a Lexus problem. In a ford I think it just continues playing whatever the last played song was.

I also put songs on my iphone instead of using apple music, so I suppose it could be an issue with that service although idk why it would behave way differently from playing local files.
>You're pretending to not understand what I said. The figure for median income of 8K is very different from what most people make in Brazil, because a lot of people will make less than that, and a lot make more than that

I see you've moved from "hardly any" to "a lot". Nice goal post move. I bet if you look at the actual data enough you might get to what the data shows.

The majority of people, for every country for which there is data, are close to the median income. End of story. You so far have posted so many simple math errors that it's hard to know where you got your understanding of these things.

> It is a society with large inequality that is polarized on the two sides, instead of concentrating on the middle.

There is no such country. Don't believe me? You can check this yourself:

[1] has all the data to check. Select the datasets showing income share. Select them, pick years, say 2016-2021. Download the CSV. There are 114 countries in the dataset for which all 5 quintiles of income are available for recent years.

For each compute the median. Then look at how close the middle 60% of the people are to the median.

If you really want to see that distributions are not what you believe, graph every single one. If you need tools, jupyterlab using python, pandas, and matplotlib make this task pretty easy.

In EVERY single one you will find the majority of people are decently close to the median. I just checked. Do it yourself so you stop believing all this mystical non-existent income distribution where people are not majority near the median.

I know you're convinced there are income distributions like those you made up, but there simply are not. It is empirical fact.

So, if you want to continue to claim what you are - do what I told you to do, pick the country you think best supports your claim, and post the actual data.

Until then you are simply wrong.

This is why economists, even those working in inequality, start with the median income when discussing income. It is the best point indicator of what the majority of people in a society earn.

That's not a high speed service. There _was_ a planned high-speed service with a similar route (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_High-Speed_Corridor), but it was killed.

Conventional rail is, of course, a lot cheaper than high-speed rail; this isn't a revelation.

It's also a one train per hour service. CHSR:

> In addition, the achievable operating headway between successive trains must be less than 5 minutes

While CHSR _is_ definitely on the expensive side for high speed rail, it's a little silly to compare it to the Florida system, which is a fairly standard intercity rail.

Incidentally, I'm not saying there's anything _wrong_ with the Florida system; I've no idea of the background, but it may be that the expected ridership didn't justify a high-speed high frequency system. It's very much not comparing like for like, though.

Request for actual startup downturn *tactics* founders need
Will we soon receive "memos" saying we should have 40 months of runway even at pre-seed/seed?

As founders we've been flooded with a lot of advice but not a lot of tactics so far. Not useful.

There are 3 impactful topics that are undercovered IMHO:

1/ How should we manage user acquisition budget?
It can still be a great channel, and the costs will potentially go down, so it's not black or white.
We should think twice before cutting off this budget entirely.

2/ How should we iterate on pricing?
Raise prices? Introduce paying plans? Usage-based pricing? It's a delicate question, and would appreciate nuanced inputs.

3/ How about cash management?

Not black or white: raise more, lay off 20% of your workforce. It might be necessary, be there are other ways to increase working capital.

Would love to amplify, reshare if you built actual frameworks / insights around it.

But that's my point: elo distribution has nothing to do with how good players are, it merely tracks your win/lose status against opponents with a different elo.

If you take, e.g. two unranked players that are very bad at chess or two unranked masters they are still going to end up with a +16 and -16 elo change. And you can keep adding great or bad players to the pool, and elo is still going to only look at the outcome not how players play.

The point with elo is that if there's only 2 players it is basically impossible to reach a 2000 elo, because even if one consistently wins at some point he's not gaining any point by beating the same opponent, thus to go from 1700 to 1800 he'll need to face an opponent that has a similar elo.

The more people slightly below his skill the more he'll rise in the elo distribution, this trickles down all the way up and down.

Of course it is very likely that modern 2500 players are better as they have better tools than players of 20 years ago, but the same applies to people lower and higher in rating.

Thus, at the end of the day, the only factor that matters in an elo distribution and how wide it is, is the number of games and players.

If tomorrow there will be an influx of another million ranked players the distribution will get a bit wider and this would also inflate in the long run ratings of the highest rated players.
That's what I think should happen as well, but the reality might be disappointing.

In the past, the stock market has gone up in huge part due to government intervention. It's entirely possible that real returns in the stock market and real estate market will flatten, but expenses will continue to rise at a faster rate. Notably in healthcare. There also the possibility we'll see changes in taxation.

So yes, we'll get the boomer "wealth", but it won't be what people assume it will be. I hope I'm wrong.

There's definitely perfect and perfect for the business. But when large companies have many developers they all have to do something. They will spend their time doing something unnecessary.

git could also have just followed some standards. For instance, how am I supposed to know the syntax of "3 days ago" in general?

They could have used time spans from ISO 8601 standard, so for instance simply "P3D". Or "P3Y6M4DT12H30M17S".

git is powerful but it involves a higher amount of time investment than it could if it were not reinventing the wheel and taking shortcuts as much. It's easy to see that it is and was built for powerusers mainly.

I don't know if I agree with "impossible". There's a lot of performance left on the table with SoftFloat. A non x86 architecture can add an 80-bit FPU if they want. There are architectures with 128-bit float, and CPUs with FPGA coprocessors. I suspect x87 is also not the most optimized path in modern x86 cpus (some instructions may even be fully emulated in microcode).

Realistically, an x87-specific JIT could do significant instruction reordering, lift/reoptimize the underlying code (much of existing x87 code was compiled a very long time ago on older compilers), and vectorize the underlying integer float emulation, or even trace and move some computation to another core or a coprocessor like a GPU or DSP (often idle in embedded cpus).

Many games work fine with x87 lowered to 64-bit or even 32-bit floats, and depending on the workload there's a middle ground where you could understand (or approximate) the current level of precision error for a value, generally run at a lower precision, and trace operations / "catch up" on precision at batched intervals.

I dislike this style. First off, it’s just a block comment. Secondly, although raw markdown isn’t terrible to read, it makes it slightly hard to read the actual code as text, say in emacs. But the worst thing is that folks who code like this tend away from inline comments, which I find usually more useful in complex code.
Of course. But it's a case of frogs being slowly boiled. One more hurdle here, one more there. Death by thousand hurdles.

I wonder though.

I live on a dirt road, out in the country. It was built by a contractor, who was selling farmland for housing, 50 years ago.

Instead of digging down, putting aggregate(gravel, etc), the road was just laid over farmland, with a foot of gravel.

Once the municipality took over, it was fine for a while, but maintenance costs were through the roof. Springtime flooding, washouts, and heavy trucks woild sink (no drainage, mud) in the spring.

Eventually, the municipality had to dig down 4ft, put in proper drainage and gravel base, to reduce failure and ongoing maintenance costs.

(I'm in Canada, and frost/snow/ice creates loads of maintenance, especally without drainage.. a southern American in Arizona might wonder what the big deal is)

Anyhow, now there are laws for road quality and developers here, 50 years later, bit I wonder....

Could that private rail developer be shifting initial cost, to higher maintenance costs?

And further, mountains have issues with freezing/etc, and it does make a massive diff...

I actually read a book that made a similar claim, although I can't remember the title right now. It essentially said that depression as we know it is an illness for the contemporary world for the reasons you list. However, it made the point that there were "different" mental health problems in the past, which had to do more with the conflict against the more rigid social structure -- same but opposite to how today we suffer from the lack of direction that you describe well.

When you use the TSA and Patriot Act as an example of meaningful, useful legislation, you're probably not on strong footing. One is considered an expensive boondoggle jobs program, the other is tasked with illegal mass spying of US citizens and deprivation of rights. Neither shows any strong evidence of preventing terrorist acts. Its legislation like these that give gun owners pause of any "common sense" gun control solutions implemented based on emotion.
You can honorably lose while giving it all, like most other champions did, except Fischer, who forfeited, and Alekhin, who died while holding the title.

I've used that and regexbuddy and others over the years. Almost anything the gives you some visual rendering of what's going on is helpful. Personally, I've taken to using the regex stuff in the Jetbrains IDEs, mostly because I'm there already most of the time, and it's 'good enough'. But I'm not always at my own setup, and regexr and similar are always a good tool to have (and to share with others to show them how a regex is working).

If I did this all the time, I might not need tools like this. But complex regex are something I only dive in to a handful of times per year, and it's never the same problem twice.

This is an ironic demonstration of why larger problems in the US are not addressed. Someone always starts off talking about an issue then "think of the children" rears it's head. Do you believe there's a benefit from the whataboutism when "think of the population" is far more important? The larger societal issues are more likely issues on which there is plenty of low hanging fruit, versus this hand-wringing about children which will not promote any short-term improvements.

To quote Daryl Zero: Now, a few words on looking for things. When you go looking for something specific, your chances of finding it are very bad.

Because of all the things in the world, you're sure to find some of them.

The "limit payment possibilities" means that, f.e., Apple cannot stop a banking app from using the on-device secure enclave and the NFC functionality from making payments available if Apple also offers a payment service using those functions (or to say it differently; If Google or Apple make a payments app, they must allow everyone to develop their own payment apps for their ecosystems and make all functions available that are necessary to have all functionality of Google or Apple's own apps).
I love this story so much. This The Atlantic article telling the full tale is a favorite of mine [1]

It's hard to overstate how incredibly dominant Tinsley was. In his entire career, he never lost a match, and only ever lost 7 games (two to Chinook). That is out of maybe tens of thousands of games. He was a mathematician by training and taught at a historically black university. He was also deeply religious and a lay minister at a black church. He famously described the difference between chess and checkers like this: “Chess is like looking out over a vast open ocean; checkers is like looking into a bottomless well.”

I could just quote the entire article, but I'll just leave it at this passage:

> The two men sat in his office and began the matches, Schaeffer moving for Chinook and entering changes in the game into the system. The first nine games were all draws. In the tenth game, Chinook was cruising along, searching 16 to 17 moves deep into the future. And it made a move where it thought it had a small advantage. “Tinsley immediately said, ‘You’re gonna regret that.’” Schaeffer said. “And at the time, I was thinking, what the heck does he know, what could possibly go wrong?” But, in fact, from that point forward, Tinsley began to pull ahead...

> The computer scientist became fixated on that moment. After the match, he ran simulations to examine what had gone wrong. And he discovered that, in fact, from that move to the end of the game, if both sides played perfectly, he would lose every time. But what he discovered next blew his mind. To see that, a computer or a human would have to look 64 moves ahead.

Tinsley was simply one of the most remarkable human minds of the 20th century. I'm happy he finally got a challenger that was worthy of him (as no other humans could even come close), but it also seems fitting that he was never officially defeated in a real checkers match. Rest in peace.

To be clear: The serotonin deficiency hypothesis has been floated for a long time as one of the possible underlying changes involved in depression etiology. It’s not even a stretch, given that we can find upregulations of the serotonin transporter in response to chronic unpredictable mild stress, the fact that 5-HTP (serotonin precursors) supplementation can boost mood, and the fact that many drugs of abuse operate through serotonin receptors to alter mood.

However, like I said in my post above, we’ve know for decades that it’s not the explanation because SSRIs boost extrasynaptic serotonin levels within hours but their therapeutic efficacy is famously delayed by weeks.

I suppose it’s possible that the author had some weird textbook that misrepresented the state of research, or that he misunderstood the relative confidence and significant of each theory presented. However, the state of research didn’t even believe that the serotonin hypothesis of depression was the full, accurate explanation when SSRIs were introduced for the reasons I stated above and more.

Personally I would support a uniform CO2 tax on everything, but I think it's more difficult to introduce and enforce. Energy tax + fuel duty can be a CO2 tax in disguise: there are already precise tools to measure and bill energy and fuel consumption, carbon intensity at any given time is known, and energy, heating and transportation are responsible for 73% of emissions.

What's left out is harder to monitor and regulate: agriculture (livestock, fertilizers, crop burning etc), construction and industrial processes, and waste. It may take a while before the society accepts that meat is never going to be that cheap again.
