Very true. For the disbelievers, have a gander at this fine map: https://www.flickr.com/photos/115892967@N03/49373818816

Be sure to zoom in all the way—the interurbans of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana are not restricted to the red lines, the black lines (marked up with an indication of the company running it and circles for stops) are covering the entire map in a fine mesh. Legend has it that for some time you could ride from New York to Chicago by hopping from one interurban to the next, with a gap of a few miles in-between that you would have to cover with some other mode of transportation. All those who claim that public transport is infeasible neglect that it used to be very feasible. This map does not show local streetcar lines, e.g. here's a 1940s map of Detroit streetcars: https://detroitography.com/2013/10/12/detroit-streetcar-rail...
Assume a spherical horse ...

OK are we talking a Mustang or a Shire or Clydesdale? Carrying the food or dragging a wagon?

I don't know enough about horses but a heavy horse (Shirehorse, Suffolk Punch or Clydesdale in the UK) can drag quite a decent load. Granddad's Clydesdale "Damson" could make a furrow with a plough all day, back in the day - bloody hard work. Ironically, that was in Devon - Scottish horse in Shire land! He got a Ferguson tractor later but they kept the horses as well.

I think we would run out of UK for a single horse load unless doing the full Land's End to John o'Groats (or trying to cross the Irish Sea) but a bigger land might need a re-fuel or two.

It's not this black and white. There's a whole spectrum of computer savviness of computer users during the "Home Computer Generation". I didn't learn programming during that time, but I learned all sorts of things about computers that lead to me eventually having a career as a software engineer.

And I'm sure there were many who did create software/graphics/etc but didn't "contribute it to the scene".
This was first proposed earlier, at least 2021. Since that time many of the big building projects in Saudi Arabia such as Jeddah Tower have been cancelled or put on hold.

I believe this has to do with the perception and signaling of potential.

Potential, when unrealized, contains more parts unknown than the known. You can measure some things - like GPA, school ranking, standardized test results, and so on.

If/when you do get employed, then that also becomes a new measure - and to some degree, lays the foundation for other speculation.

Put this way: If someone opts to work for a "C" level company, does this change the expected value of that candidate? If the candidate is "A" level, why would they join a "C" level company? The simplest answer for an observer, would probably be that they are simply not "A" level material, and probably closer to where they've been.

IMO - that's flawed thinking, as there are tons of variables, but it seems to be how many think. It's like with sports - often times top clubs will get top talent.

But yeah, back to the perception. Now you have a new datapoint - which could could drag you down - while your competitors still have the benefit of less information. These candidates can leverage their potential more, simply because the people hiring know less about them, and will have to take a larger chance / risk on hiring them. But as long as their other measures are ok, that might be worth it.

I see a lot of appeals to "fund people, not projects", but the main issue I have with it is that I think it strongly biases people to select "super stars" who have impressive credentials / come from high status organizations. Of course, there's already a lot of "rich get richer" effects in science, as the article points out, but I think it would be nice to try to shift away from those things, not increase them. (Besides, isn't the resounding message in academia these days supposed to be that assessing people is full of biases that we ought to avoid? Of course you always assess the people behind a grant application to some extent, but focusing on the project would seem to be better in terms of avoiding these biases.)

The other alternative of "funding lotteries" is more suspect. As the article summarizes, the argument for lotteries is:

> Advocates of lotteries make two key critiques: a) the current system forces researchers to spend a lot of time preparing grants; and b) peer reviewers cannot reliably identify “good” grant applications. They claim that a lottery system would reduce the time spent on review (because reviewers would mostly skim the proposals to check for minimal scientific robustness) as well as the time spent on preparing proposals (because there would be less of an incentive to meticulously craft proposals, given that no matter how detailed and well written they are, they are going to be chosen at random).

Of course (a) is true, but as the article suggests, the evidence for (b) is a bit shaky. Moreover, we should have strong priors against (b). To be sure, reviewing is not perfect, far from it! But, scientists must at some level be able to judge the future prospects of work, or else they wouldn't be able to make any fruitful decisions about what research to conduct. So the primary plausible way I see that (b) could perhaps be true for a given pool of applications is if all of the ones in the pool pass some thresh-hold bar for quality that makes it hard to further distinguish between them. It's not clear to me that that quality level would be maintained if we move to a lottery.

It was very probably Zizek who talked about this. And definitely a
talk rather than words I read. Sorry I can't be more helpful. For the
Nuremberg angle then see Adam Curtis's "Pandora's Box" in which the
trial of Eichmann is centre stage of one episode. Eichmann effectively
cannot comprehend there was anything morally questionable about the
'final solution' and instead of apologies or reflection he repeatedly
doubles down and hammers home his reasonable justification for the
slaughter.
Odd. My car has digital climate controls and all I have to do is set the temp I want. If it too cold, it will keep the fan low while the air coming into the cabin is cold and as it warms up, the fan speeds up until the cabin is at the temp I set. It also knows to blow hot air at my feet and the windshield (to melt frost) and blow cool air out the dash directly at me. I keep it set at 23C year round and since it's a heat pump, I don't even need to switch it between heat and cool mode. It's perfect. The settings can be overridden but there is no need.
Oh, should probably add that to the docs. Anyway, they are 120 GB.
I used to do exactly that to remove lead vocals and guitar lines in songs I wanted to jam with. I think it accomplishes the same thing as stereos with the Karaoke switch. The mono stuff (in dead centre) is removed by switching the +/- on one side and then recombined in the same way to produce the phase cancellation needed for the center alone, left without center, and right without center for Dolby 3Stereo.

There's another (but vaguely related) trick for getting the rear Left and Right channels, and then add a simple low bypass filter for full Dolby 5.1.

If you don't have a center channel in your stereo, but you do have a setting for Stereo Widening, there is another technique: Reverse the phase of one of your speakers by simply plugging in the + and - to their opposites, and then clicking on Expand or Widen or whatever your kit calls it. The middle / mono content will still be there, but only barely.

>Should I be buying a car from a company that thinks I'm leasing a car?

Seems like the most obvious first question.
When's the last time you saw Toyota in the headline for one of their cars catching on fire on the highway? Tesla has hype on the same level of Apple, so any time anything goes wrong with a car catching on fire or crashing, or having a terrible time with getting the car serviced, they're in the news. Tesla's first-party service centers are usually a plus for consumers, but Ford GM et al. benefit from dealerships being separate entities that take all the blame when something goes wrong.
I worked for a SaaS that did that. We had 1000's of clients. Migrations would take all afternoon. We had custom connection pools, custom migration runners, and other weird stuff (this was about 10 years ago.) It was way too complicated, especially since most of the tenants had very little data.

I would say that devices that are Play Protect certified are a part of a walled garden.
Probably the way they do processors, say you get N Mhz as a min that is boostable up to M Mhz.

If they advertised "you get a min of 200kbps, that could boost up to 1Gbps" that would be acceptable, as long as you actually got that 200kbps. The problem is they claim it is 1Gbps, then look at you funny if you expect 70% of what they claim.
Heh, this made me smile.

The world has changed and keeps changing. When I was a kid, smartphones just weren’t a thing. And yet today I simply cannot imagine life without them.

As the world changes so do the metaphors useful in describing it.
Your bank makes a mistake and adds a million dollars to your account balance when you tried to deposit $100.

In this scenario, the bank also tells you: “we are giving you a million dollars, it’s yours”. Then, 3 years later, someone else at the same bank says: “oopsies, we actually made a mistake, so we withdrew that million from your account”.

It’s even worse, imagine you actually received that million, as a payment for something, from someone else who originally received it from the bank.

Yes, because it's their account and their system - that does happen in fact, plenty of stories like that. If you take the money out, or move it elsewhere, they cannot just break into your house and take the cash however - they would need a court order to recover it, and the court would need to agree that it was a reasonable mistake(and that's not always the case! plenty of cases where people/companies send money to the wrong account by mistake and the courts rule that you can't force the other side to return the money)

Also you haven't answered my question, which I think compares better to this situation than a random million dollars deposited into my account. No one randomly gave this guy an upgrade - it was a warranty replacement with a better item, that happens literally all the time in all kinds of industries. What doesn't happen is the manufacturer turning around few years later and taking the item back.

Amazon does. And then they mix the stock in with regular stock.

Look at the hundreds of people online who bought Battlefield 2042 from Amazon. They ship a CD case with a slip of paper inside which has a code.

Hundreds of people tried to redeem codes that had already been used.

This happens to every code-consumption-based retailer. Thankfully Amazon still eats the cost of "doing business" currently.

I would not like to stare at the same board for two years between updates, so probably I would end up manually re-organizing my client according to the feeds that get updated, or just unsubscribe from the ones where the author seems to have dropped off the planet.

Newspaper classifieds and comic book ads are different each issue and therefore there's some pleasure in scanning through them. Today's algorithmic feeds on social networks may optimize too much for engagement at the expense of quality. (Twitter started putting complete strangers' tweets at the top of my timeline, on topics like "Marvel" that I have no interest in.) But the solution to this is not to avoid algorithmic curation completely.

A heavy horse also needs to eat a lot more than a normal horse.
I interpreted this, "If the purpose of the ride is for training/health/cardio", as generally assuming that this is the purpose of most any bike riding. Just a lot of assumptions going on there, some know-it-all'ism that feels common. "Oh, why is this cyclist not in the bike lane?" (Perhaps because the bike lane is full of glass, perhaps because the bike lane is in a door zone, perhaps because the bike lane is hidden from busy drive ways, there could be tons of reasons but the person zooming by assumes they know everything there is about the person that spends years in the saddle..)

So, this just kinda triggers me as arm-chair quarterbacking, it's really common and you just don't know a cyclists perspective until you've observed the conditions of shoulders at 2 feet away, and when you know statistics that intersections and turning traffic are more dangerous to cyclists than compared to riding further into the lane forcing traffic to move over to pass.

So, I believe that is just assuming way too much. For many, 'fun' is the primary reason and for many others it is simply 'transportation'.

> I think it makes sense to fight back against the common recommendations you get from bike communities who are obsessing about weight and efficiency.

That could be the case, though really depends on which community one is referring to. Not all of them obsess about weight and efficiency. At the same time, being upright vs leaned over is hardly obsessive (given that it is the single largest efficiency gain you can have). Hence, if you care at all about efficiency, you're not going to be bolt upright. For safety reasons, it can be important to match traffic speed, there all sorts of reasons to ride faster that are not just 'obsessing over weight and efficiency'.

How the government uses its surveillance and what is and isn't permitted is extremely relevant to the topic of a smart city proposal (and even more relevant to the subthread on whether it could be perceived as "dystopian").

Unlike the paragraph you devoted to "what about the US/Europe" (and discussion of US/European political problems seems to crop up in every discussion of smart city tech in the US/Europe anyway...), which is of no relevance to whether a culturally Saudi $500bn city designed for Mohammed bin Salman's needs would be a utopian dream or a stylish dystopian nightmare. City planning isn't orthogonal to politics either; ask anyone who's paid any attention to Nay Pyi Daw.

As for changes, whether the Crown Prince decision to reduce the formal powers of the "moral police" and make them subordinate to his civil police are characterised more by [slightly] liberalising an extremely illiberal society, window-dressing for Western observers or increasing his personal authority and whether such reforms would accelerate or sharply regress under his successor(s) might have been a more interesting tangent than whether I should shut up. I can understand if you don't wish to speculate on such things, though, especially if you can potentially see yourself living where such discussion is banned in future... in an efficiently monitored, fully-enclosed space shaped like a line.
The police, by ignoring the threat and letting the truckers set up, left Trudeau's hands tied here. Towing a semi in a very crowded downtown core is difficult with the drivers help. With a driver that does not want to be towed, the truck would stay there for much longer. And doing that with several hundred trucks, many of whom are the biggest customers of the towing companies, means towing them after they were allowed to set up would take months. The protestors had been told to remove their vehicles - telling them they could protest if they gave up their semis was not gonna happen.

I think we can agree that it left us with 3 things: a dangerous precedent, a reminder to everyone that a centralized, cashless society has downsides, and a protest that ended after a week instead of being dragged on for months.
I think the point is that it may be impossible for a single human to have "nearly complete understanding" of how the networking stack work. But maybe what was meant was nearly complete understanding of the fundamentals. That's certainly achievable. But networking in the kernel is a beast of a thing with specialists in small parts of it. But I don't think there's a single human that know nearly all that those specialists know combined.
One that comes to mind is one where I live - the UK.

Police these days prefers to scout the internet for thought crime and to have an excuse why they don't go after burglars etc.

As WAL'd sqlite on networked filesystems is a no-go, once LiteFS gets wal support I think this will be a savior software for many operators with existing sqlite deployments.

Could we even host LiteFS with underlying dbs on a filesystem that otherwise wouldn't play well with WAL (say nfs, ceph or gluster)? An effectively single-node deployment that would achieve redundancy through the FS.
