I can't agree with your assessment at all. Deaths are rising, yet what changes are happening?

And in particular the NHSTA doesn't give a damn about those outside of the car.

The very greatest threat to the life of my children is cars. It would be easy, trivial almost, to fix this by legalizing building for houses and businesses that don't allow cars, but are served only by public transit. Yet this very simple, very desirable concept is illegal in the US except for a few tiny islands.

We prioritize cars over life in nearly every single aspect of law. We modified law to make drivers not culpable for the death they inflict on others, because if drivers had to pay for the damage they caused, we would not be driving at all.
If they don't respect candidates, maybe they don't respect their employees either.
Did you read the article? It's just a review of a book - the article itself doesn't have much to say either way about modern clubs, besides acknowledging the recent Pincher news.
I'm sorry you had some issues with the National Library of Australia's collections. I've never been an expert on Australian law, & it's been a while since (when I was at IA a decade+ ago) I worked with that library. But the impression I had at that time was that their governing law & budget, as dictated the Australian legislature, required them to collect broadly, & deeply, from the `.au` domain-names. So it seemed a compulsory part of their "statutory rights & mission" then, rather than "against" such things. Their governing laws & strategies may have modified over time since with experience – which is the point of trying, observing, correcting in new murkier frontiers of tradition, technology, and law.

On the larger issues, & specific to the Internet Archive:

You should assume there are several other larger "dark" web archives, by nations and large private organizations, collected without the awareness or available-remedies of the Internet Archive's or various national library public efforts. There are also uncountable other private and ad-hoc collections. Depending on what kinds of harms you expect from retained copies of older writings, these may be far larger threats than any holdings of an open, public, correctable non-profit library.

I would emphasize that anyone (like a web host or app) who gave any authors, especially the young & net-novices, the impression that something would stay private, or recallable, after being placed on a public webserver, at a published link, and open to browsing by all, did those authors a disservice by mis-informing them of risks, and the best-practices for preserving privacy.

That the Archive's well-identified, blockable crawlers sometimes surprise people with what they collect, and then make-available for lookup, helps correct that misunderstanding, both for individuals and the wider culture. Any "chilling effect" is unfortunate, but it's inherent to the web technology & practices of many independent actors. It's moreso documented, than created, by the Archive's own activities. And further – at least with respect to the Wayback Machine – the surprise availability is then fairly straightforward to undo, and prevent from recurring.

The broader risk that anything on the web – once offered to the public – will remain available from others persists no matter what the Archive does. Those concerned about such risks should take extra privacy-preserving steps, because blocking the Archive's crawls, or correcting the Wayback Machine, only limits this one polite, above-ground actor.
Sounds like you need better friends.
A phone screen is fine for that other stuff, but why invest even 30 minutes if you know they won’t pay what you are looking for?
Hundreds. Imagine a bus veering off into a busy sidewalk.
Everyone on the bus, if the bus driver decides to drive the bus off a bridge into a river
The value of the dollar, relative to the usual basket of goods and services has no bearing on the value of bitcoin, relative to the dollar. None whatsoever. To imagine that the price of bitcoin will go up to match the inflation of the dollar is quite frankly whimsical.
Not trans myself, but I can tell you from my personal experience that very few people are actually uncomfortable or alienated by topics like this – that's usually more of a bit of fiction belonging to the "you can't even say WOMAN any more" genre.

In contrast, trans people are usually extremely aware of their biology and related medical requirements - to a greater extent than many others. Like any other topic that might be sensitive, the best approach is to be respectful, accurate, and specific. For example, don't do the thing up-thread of banging on about how "gender isn't relevant to this conversation" without really having that insight.
It actually isn't. You know trans people know this better than anyone else, right?

I don't disagree with the benefits, but there are also negatives to me as a consumer with Apple's App Store policies that do nothing but benefit Apple. And as long there's no competition, Apple have no incentive to change that because it benefits them.

Look at Fortnite's removal, all because they added an additional payment method that bypassed Apple's. You could still use Apple's method if you wanted to for all those benefits, but Apple want their cut. Apps like YouTube increase prices to make up for Apple's cut. Others like Netflix and Spotify not only do not allow you to pay for it via the app, but also aren't allowed to tell you how to pay for it, making a worse user experience.

Or how about the blocking of streaming gaming apps like Stadia and Xbox Cloud Gaming? Who benefits from that? Only Apple.
Yes, these are clearly not universal human issues if somewhere like Japan can maintain clean, relatively safe, efficient public transportation. It should be obvious we should be looking outside of the US as to why certain societies are able to solve this issues and others are not.
I think you misunderstand what the sandbox of the operating system does. An app cannot start tracking you 24/7 just because it's sideloaded.
I don't think you are correct on engineers. General suicide rate in the US in 2019: 16.8/100k[0]. Suicide rate of veterans in the US in 2019: 31.6/100k[0]. Suicide rate of engineers in the US in 2016: 23.2/100k [1].

Europe is lagging by a few years. They started demanding anything junior or above knows about cloud/MS/CQRS a few years ago while most of the local bigger names and below (Tier 2) have barely any inhouse knowledge beyond a few week 1 tutorials.
I just searched for “bus driver suicide” and it was a pretty even split between stories about drivers saving people who were trying to kill themselves, and drivers killing themselves. The latter was very much largely happening in solitary ways, except for one dude in China who drove his bus into a lake.
I seriously don't get how slow firms hire anyone. Surely the people you want will vanish quickly?

I recently found a new job, had a backup offer after a week, and the job I actually wanted 4 weeks later, after about 7 working days post contact.

After I signed, several of the firms I'd interviewed with got back to me with interest. This is weeks after initial contact, and weeks after the last interview, so if course I thought they weren't interested.

I'm happy with with long thread time, but not long wall time. I don't mind people bringing me into 6 or 7 hours of interviews over a day or two, what I mind is doing those calls over the course of several weeks. It really bothers me to do an interview every week with a firm for a month.

For people who go for firms that are known for long processes, how do you do this? Just hang in there with your old job? What if something better turns up faster?
the quickest hit of functionality is duplicating buttons from your remotes.

Next it's fun to mess with the screens at the pub.

Somewhere along the way, realizing that someone out there has the remote you lost long ago and all you really want is an on/off button and now you can get one.

For me so far it's a universal remote with a kind of weird interface.
I've found there's zero correlation between interview difficulty and compensation.
I was referring to the existing taxi services.

With Uber offering poor service for wheelchairs and similar, individuals needing those services remain using traditional taxis. Meanwhile, the regular riders (the bulk of the profits for a company) switch to Uber for whatever reason. This results in that the additional costs for handling riders that need the extra assistance are not borne by the unlicensed companies that are not providing the ADA services that the licensed companies are required to.

If one was to go with a "{A} should subsidize {B} for ADA rides" this would be "Uber should subsidize taxi companies" for the increased proportion of wheelchair accessible vans and similar that the taxi companies are required to maintain.

As it is, Uber isn't spreading any of the cost of ADA rides amongst their customers or drivers because (A) Uber doesn't have a sufficient set of vehicles available to address ADA and (B) Uber drivers are discriminating and not picking up passengers that have needs covered under the ADA.
I do know that, but I also know that not every brick job is like trying to build the dome on the Florence Cathedral - it's much more like playing with legos. My point is that perhaps people shouldn't dismiss jobs as trivial. Playing Chess is trivial to a computer now, but laying bricks seems near impossible.
Even if the alternative is dealing for months with a design agency that is creating a three-page website?
Yes, but let's be honest: none of us has 360º eyes, and very few have split-millisecond reflexes. You control for the front, meanwhile somebody hits you from the rear; you look to the sides, and someone brakechecks you; and so on and so forth. You can reduce chances, but not eliminate them. Statistically, by the simple fact that you are sharing the road with hundreds of other (often terrible) drivers, the chance that one of them will fuck you up is incredibly higher than the chance of that happening on a public-transport vehicle in dedicated lanes (or even rails) driven by someone whose job is to safely move such vehicle from A to B every day.
My comment: What is this actually about?
Can't edit anymore, but I want to point out that one particularly gross thing I've seen is code that checks how well your device characteristics line up with expectations for CPU and RAM.

The numbers are intentionally imprecise for anti-fingerprinting, but I've seen JS code that treats users as suspicious or bad when your logical core count reports 1-2 but memory is 8+, or a lot of cores and very little memory, or if your device is non-mobile but reporting less than 4 or 8 GB of memory. The assumption is that you are a virtual machine if you're a "desktop or laptop" and have a single or dual core in 2022, for example.
I find it really bothers some companies while others are proud of their salary ranges and will gladly share upfront.

The ones who get offended usually pay less and have had issues with employees quiting over low salaries and/or have heard negative candidate feedback around pay

Why are you calling it "pump-and-dump"? Is there evidence of them dumping? The link just says that the author thinks a16z is wrong and likely engaging in motivated reasoning.
It makes sense because, for most of America, we have designed our environment to be heavily dependent on the possibilities cars open up for us.

It is not the same with air or train travel. Those are useful, but not necessary for almost all people.
The actual conclusion of the study is so absurd that it's not worth engaging with seriously.

That is, to maximally understand, and therefore predict, consumer preferences is likely to require information outside of data on choices and behavior, but also on what it is like to be human.

I was responding to the interpretation from the blog post, which is more reasonable.
As a computational physics graduate student, I found multiple factor is bringing my localhost experience to an end already. I am moving the part of localhost computing to a self-hosted PC (I got a 8th gen intel with 32G ram, which is $300 from ebay) at home. The factors includes:

* Tailscale makes virtual networking available and very convenient.
* VSCode, then its derivative, code-server, make development (coding and terminal) from browser a reality for everyone. See https://chazeon.com/notes/software/code-server-over-ssh/, it also give me an interface to the HPCs.
* Jupyter, similar to above.
* My all-day battery from M1 Pro MacBook allows me to code anytime, moving local part of the computing to remote also contribute to a better battery life.
* Caddy etc. makes HTTPS certificates easy to get.

Right now my computing environment is then 3-layer structure:

[Laptop] == [PC] == [HPC]

I also want to add Ben Thompson's article "Thin Platforms" a helpful summary of Microsoft's view of edge computing strategy, and similarly end up that "localhost" is about to end: https://stratechery.com/2022/thin-platforms/

I am just not too sure about the AWS part, it is still way too expensive for computing expensive jobs for individuals, for corporates, they are probably okay.
1. You can get what you want by being valuable yourself

2. Don't be afraid to discuss money. The client is always seeking the lower price and the budget is always higher than what was mentioned before.

3. Work so you live. It's never worth it to do overtime.

4. Learning is a shortcut to success. Most people stop seeking new information unless forced. You will be a step ahead of those.

3. There isn't much that do really matters in life. Act only on this small set and enjoy the rest as it is.
quality of life improvements make it so most people are okay with the risk. just like skiing, let people decide what risks they want to take. covid has emboldened the authoritarians. stop trying to tell other people how they should live.

That's my laziness of not couching all my statements with more nuance. There is the famous stat of the US having a pretty small number of years of peace since inception. The "70 years of peace" was meant to be the perception bit you talk about but also more "peace at home". In all the conflicts you mention, the US was doing something it didn't need to do in order to defend itself. People were/are course afraid of nukes, but I think that's a very different sentiment.

If my comments are coming across as endorsing the entirety of the US military and that it is infallible, that was not the intent. I mostly just called people elitist for claiming that academic pursuits are more worthy of funding than the equivalent defense expenditure on the sole basis of academic=good and soldier=bad. Based on my other comments, you can see that I even believe that the technological progress spurred by defense needs is greater than throwing the same amount of money at research.

I have a large-ish library (by personal standards) that spans multiple rooms in my small house. When I invite people over I will, without fail, get one of two responses:

1. "Wow, have you read all these books?" means "I never read books."

2. Scans shelves..."Oh that's a great book...I haven't heard of this author – any good?" means "I read a lot."

I'm used to the books and don't get any pride from them but it's amazing how quickly you can tell how literate someone is by their behavior in even a small library.
Any company with a competitive salary is willing to talk money anyway. If they don't, they don't have the budget
People feel better protected in their cars. They're in a private rolling cage with all kinds of safety features and a built-in ability to get away from danger. They can also avoid more dangerous areas, practice defensive driving, and otherwise mitigate their chances of being one of those statistics.

Being confronted by a knife-wielding drug addict on public transit is just a scarier proposition all around even if the numbers suggest it shouldn't be. And it feels random where death in a car doesn't, even though for the victim it often is.
Human error isn’t a root cause.

Why were they able to speed on that road? Why did they feel safe being on their phone?

Every software engineer understands intrinsically that blaming the user does not improve outcomes. You cannot get folks to click the right button by putting “you must click the right button” into the terms of service, and then suing the users who click the wrong one.
I guess to count as collateral damage they would need to at least pretend it was unintentional. Massacring cities that didn't surrender was a deliberate strategy.
Thing is, people live different lifestyles with different priorities.

Sure, if they could press a button and make more, they would, but in reality getting a higher salary requires to change jobs and they often have concerns about moving to a new place, doing something different, working with new people, wondering if they are going to like it or not, which ends up in them settling for a lower salary, especially if that salary covers everything they wanna do.

Often those thoughts are irrational, but thats how humans function.
Mean what you say. The term "the administration" is indicative of the executive branch. The "Obama Administration", "Trump Administration" or even the "Biden administration". Never has the term "the administration" referred to senators, house members, or the judicial branch. I would argue the President is the administrator when it comes to cabinets and other administrations like the FDA, FAA, and EPA. Yeah, I'm splitting hairs on comments that simply are not true, or need to be walked back and redefined.

Agreed, actually. I fully intend to stop driving after I retire. It's actually a conversation I've had a few times with my parents, and I'm heavily encouraging them to give up driving. I wish we had better licensing standards in the US at every level and that we forced aged-based retesting on older drivers. I know that my mother (72) for instance definitely should not be driving, but still does, although mostly my father (65) does the driving. I'd prefer if neither of them did.

The flip side (and something I think Strong Towns would fully agree with me on) is that most American cities are constructed for cars and not for people, which means stricter licensing standards and being more careful about licensing of older drivers is somewhat of a non-starter if it means people have no feasible way to get to the store or the doctor (or for those below retirement age, to work).

I also realize that my position is heavily privileged, both by my ability to afford newer cars and impeccable maintenance, my time and affordability of training, and that I will likely retire early enough in age to not ever become a road hazard due to my age. It is not lost on me that this cannot apply to most other people, and I recognize I'm an outlier in this way. I heavily support policies to increase public transit options, and I hope that self driving cars become a reality in my lifetime. We cannot build society's policies based on our highest or lowest outliers, but need to consider the reality of the normal person's experience.

Issues are

- When the statement is obvious, you mine as well not say it at all. On a lot of Reddit threads every upvoted comment is basically some variation of “This”, “Yep”, “I agree” (sometimes literally those). It’s absurd, there’s no discussion and the entire point of the comments section is wasted. (Honestly, a lot of Reddit is just the same posts and arguments over and over)

- When the opinion actually deserves nuance. When people throw around phrases like “the US is a third-world country”, “Google is an awful company only focused on greed”, “never trust your employer”. No, these statements aren’t 100% true, Google is a greedy company but it really isn’t just a money-making machine, it provides a search engine and mail and office software and video platform that you probably use. Additionally, when the statements are political and derogatory (“all X group is bad”), you start to criticize people who don’t deserve the criticism.
I think the things missing from this anecdote are secondary sources like glassdoor or personal references. If a company is large enough to have a high enough headcount you can often find it through secondary sources so the salary range is not a 'surprise' or at least you know what the floor should be. The floor is the real problem with a lot of postings where the salary range that they are expecting to spend is just not even a close match.
This is why, when I have to visit a city, I much prefer to park my car at the first convenient opportunity and walk. Having a car is pretty straightforward and definitely a must in the rural areas where I live (sadly, public transit is effectively nonexistent), but driving a car in a city is difficult and often terrifying, specifically because of the limited control (you're stuck going forward at a particular speed, and if you realize too late that the GPS/map/printed out directions/copilot navigator was indicating that street to turn on, you just have to keep going and hope that you can loop back around somehow without losing too much time...or you risk permanent/exorbitantly expensive damage to your car, someone else's car, and/or one or more humans).
If you have to guess why it's making decisions you don't want, it's a shitty product.

Does not compute.
Probably because they are more interested in virtue signaling and have no understanding of technology. Rather than actually make broad anti-monopoly rules, which quite frankly would be targeted more at Apple, they instead go on witchunts cause of conservative "censorship".
> How useful is the JWST's output? Is it any more useful than tanks that sit outside rusting?

What an odd question. Almost anything is more useful and unused military equipment. At the very least the JWST is going to allow many astronomers to publish papers. It may even detect markers of life on other worlds. And there is nothing else that gives us a view into the early universe like the James Webb.
I dismissed 3 overlays.

1. cookies
2. email newsletter
3. cookies again

The constant bombardment was more in reference to the state of the web generally. Popups and overlays that aren't a result of an interaction I've chosen to make are exhausting for me (and people with ADHD generally, and many others). I don't go back to sites that have them, but would be happy to read (and often pay for) the content if that wasn't the context.
