For me it'd take about 20 minutes to drive to the office + any time spent looking for a parking spot + possible rush hour

Or I can walk about 7 minutes to the train station, hop on a train for 30 minutes and walk 5 minutes to the office.

I always pick the latter, because I can just zone out for the 30 minutes in the train, maybe watch a TV show on my tablet, read a book or take a nap. Can't do any of those in traffic.
> Which reasons?

The article notes that even just the dam in the Gibraltar Strait (ignoring the others) would have required more concrete than existed in the entire world at the time. I think that single reason is enough.

You don’t need to ban cars to reduce usage. The Texans I know would like more bus & bike infrastructure and even in Texas, most city dwellers make a ton of trips which are within bike range. As a simple example, think about how much the average family could do with the extra $10-12k a year they’d save by having one car instead of two. In a lot of places, people buy 2-3 ton SUVs so mom can drop the kids off a couple of miles away - a distance even a 4-5 year old could bike if it was safe.
Just to play Devil's Advocate: a company can cut donations or most other expenditures anytime it wants. An increase in wages is effectively a permanent commitment, and the only way to reduce wage expenditures is to cut the workforce. This is why companies tend to prefer bonuses, etc, rather than pay bumps, even for individual employees.
I think you missed this part:

If you're insinuating that I'm pompous then, well, sure. That doesn't particularly refute my point though.
Some cursory searching suggests that between 40 and 50% of copper is used in building construction. I don’t know the further breakdown, but:

Copper is widely used for flashing. For this application, galvanized steel, aluminum, and stainless steel can substitute. All are less expensive.

Copper is used for pipes. They are much more expensive than plastics. Arguably, depending on the particular application, one or more plastic options are as good or better. (Copper is unharmed by moderate chlorine concentrations and sunlight. It’s mechanically strong. It’s inert to water at appropriate pH. It is quite reactive to water at the wrong pH. Boiler condensate will quickly destroy it.)

Copper is used for heavy-gauge electrical wire. For many of these applications, aluminum is much less expensive and arguable superior (it’s lighter and more flexible).

Copper is used for 12 and 14 gauge branch circuits. Aluminum branch circuits are currently strongly discouraged.

In any event, a lot of copper is consumed for applications that don’t need it. If prices go up, the industry can adapt.

Wikipedia runs off of community contributions. This person seems to be extremely obscure, as searching the full name 'Mohammed Zakir Meyra' I found this Wikipedia article, websites that scrape Wikipedia and post its contents, and garbage SEO-optimized websites that had nothing to do with the person. I gave up trying to find anything that wasn't SEO garbage or a Wikipedia scrape on page 5 of the search results.

At least in the English speaking world, this person seems to be a nobody and nobody seems to care enough to fix this article. Honestly, someone that knows how the process works on Wikipedia more than me should probably submit it for deletion, as this (at least in my opinion) shouldn't even meet Wikipedia's notability standards.

Besides, infinite universes doesn't mean they'll collectively give you a mutually exclusive and exhaustive set like everyone is for some reason assuming. You could just as well get the same wrong number in all of them and kill yourself off permanently in the entire multiverse.

That's the nature of true randomness, if you set up a dice throw a million times they could just as well all come up as six. Incredibly unlikely, but possible.

Indeed. You are debunking a commonly repeated myth.

https://uspirg.org/reports/usp/who-pays-roads

> Gas taxes and other fees paid by drivers now cover less than half of road construction and maintenance costs nationally – down from more than 70 percent in the 1960s – with the balance coming chiefly from income, sales and property taxes and other levies on general taxpayers.

· General taxpayers at all levels of government now subsidize highway construction and maintenance to the tune of $69 billion per year – an amount exceeding the expenditure of general tax funds to support transit, bicycling, walking and passenger rail combined.
Cost also includes negative environmental effects

I specifically need to zone out and calm my mind TO fall asleep. Took me years to teach my brain that "lying down in bed" == "brain turns off".

Otherwise I'd spiral into a web of incomplete thoughts that would never get anywhere and I'd just get really stressed - and then fall to a restless sleep, anxious.

Now if I'm a bit wound up, I put on some wireless headphones and listen to some really boring or non-consequential podcast with a sleep timer on Overcast. Unless I'm really stressed, I never get to the end of a 10 minute episode.

The 2CV is an interesting car to drive. It has very little power and the gear stick pokes out of the dashboard. It's a comfortable ride and you can peel back the cloth roof cover on a sunny day. Unfortunately it's not great at protecting the occupants in the event of a crash. Its doors are really thin and there are no air bags. Its design is very simple. Here is a video of a 2CV being dismantled and reassembled in 5 minutes by a few people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo1Z5072xr4

Instead the article was about the Teamsters union convincing local governments to block Amazon from opening buildings, and Amazon "fighting back" by increasing their hiring of needy ex-cons and minorities from local colleges, ending their marijuana drug tests, and otherwise working to ingratiate themselves with their comminities.

The Teamsters don't come out looking like the good guys...

So... Lemme get this straight. LinkedIn is cool with "scraping", and as of recent is now suing and publicly showing how proud they are of such practices [0] - look we protect our users!

Yes of course buying housing. This is what most households want and what most of them eventually do. Renting is a stepping stone or for people that are mobile, dont want to commit or really can't afford to buy. People who dont own are often subsidized or given public housing so also less relevant.

Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora have had distributions for many years. Others like FreeBSD, etc also exist. I often take a break and spend a day working entirely on a RISC-V host (BeagleV beta). Everything I care about work 100% the same, most notably Emacs and all the dev tools (Rust, C, Haskell).

The only thing that I hit in the (old) Fedora 33/RISC-V is Firefox's lacking support for WASM, but that could be working in the latest version.

The Apple AirPods Max.

So the problem I had is that I had a wireless headset which paired with one device at a time, and every time you wanted to change the pairing, you would need to un-pair and re-pair the device and this was always a bit clunky. Additionally, I was using Windows/Android. If I'm watching a video or listening to a podcast, I'm not allowed to chromecast TO my Windows laptop, I'm not allowed to chromecast FROM a bunch of websites, and this resulted in various workarounds.

So what the Apple ecosystem made it that I can do is, just be able to airplay video from ANY website to ANY of the screens that I own. What the AirPods max enabled is that it made it so that if I switched playing audio from one device to another device, that it made it seamless or at least easy to switch the audio output of that other device to the AirPods on my head. I just love the slick integration so much and I find it easier to be watching something on my TV and then continuing to consume that content in my kitchen or when I'm grocery shopping (if it's something like a podcast) and that makes me healthier.

I'm autistic, and man if you hate noise as much as I do, Apple is making some GREAT products nowadays. It's funny to me though, whenever I talk about Apple products people rave about most of them but seem to be very sceptical about the AirPods Max, when for me that's the keystone product.
My understanding is that it would violate GPL-3 but not GPL-2 (search term "tivoization clause"). Notably, Linux itself is explicitly GPL-2. IANAL, nor am I an expert.
Whether to use a SaaS service or build something in-house is a choice for your engineering organization.

Most Russians just assume that's how things got to be run everywhere and just perceive it as a normal state of affairs: whoever has the biggest stick, has the privileges. Many just openly say that if they were in a position of power they would do the same.

Russians respect brute force, but they don't respect money; so they are much more irritated by privilege and extravagance displayed by businessmen, even if it's earned in a legal and ethical way, than by someone in a position of power, especially (as in cases of police, fsb and other sikovikis) if it's power rooted in violence.
This is why I have a local recording setup. I’d prefer to have my recordings stored remotely since if they’re locally stored they could also be locally destroyed. But it’s clear that the smart camera cloud recording solutions consider these recordings theirs and not yours.

There might be a product out there for smart cameras that actually take video ownership seriously, but I expect the pressures to allow LEOs programmatic access is too great. For “emergencies” you see.

In the aggregate you’re subsidizing a surveillance apparatus rather than securing your home; the security is a side effect.
Hey, I gave to a charity. Why don't local politicians give me tax breaks?!?

Honestly, this sort of idea is such an anathema to the idea of fairness, and an indictment of politics.

Be a big enough company, and then you can effectively bribe politicians into giving you money from local tax payers that you can then use to destroy those same local businesses and communities. Genius.
I've said this a thousand times and will repeat it until I die:

The #1 job for a parent is to make sure their children are bored out of their minds regularly. Take away the sources of easy serotonin (usually the smartphone), either by taking the kid outside without it or whatever works for you.

For example if you're on a 20 minute car ride as a family, the kids don't need to be on their smart device every second of the way - preferably at all. It's OK to be bored and just have your own thoughts to keep you entertained.
I did a one hour float tank session before. It’s very interesting and kinda hard experience being with only yourself floating in water for a full hour.
Your idea is actually how car-dependent cities are laid out. Look at a map of Phoenix for a textbook example: the city is laid out on a square mile grid with retail/offices on the grid corners. People may drive to go shopping, but that's a choice, they could walk there (if they want to brave the heat) since for most of the city the nearest shopping area is less than a mile (1.6 km) away.

As if that were not bad enough, the news-checking group seemed to enjoy their time more than the thinking group.

$20/hr is increasingly difficult to live on in higher COL areas of the US, but annualized at 40 hours per week, it's pretty close to the US median individual income. a household with two adults making that much would be well above the median household income. "humiliatingly low" is an exaggeration.
That's a great question, I don't think I ever tried to do an emergency call while in airplane mode in the lab so I don't know the answer with authority. It's a little bit closer to the radio technology than I tended to operate at.

This is likely going to depend on the OS implementation, since lots of OSes allow emergency calls even while the phone is locked (from the lock or password entry screen). My speculation would be that the emergency call would activate the cellular modem to do the emergency call, but as I said I'm not confident in that answer (and please don't try it to just test it out).

> Or would attempting to make an emergency call instruct the phone to attach to its home network?

That's a great question, I don't think I ever tried to do an emergency call while in airplane mode so I don't know the answer with authority.

This is likely going to depend on the OS implementation, since lots of OSes allow emergency calls even while the phone is locked (from the lock or password entry screen). My speculation would be that the emergency call would activate the cellular modem to do the emergency call and go back into airplane mode afterwards. But I'm really not sure and it's been a few years since I've looked at this.

> Or would attempting to make an emergency call instruct the phone to attach to its home network?

The phone wouldn't need to attach to it's home network first in any circumstance. Even when you're already connected to your home network, the device actually re-attaches itself in an emergency mode (atleast in LTE/VoLTE, I don't know about the older technologies I didn't work on). You would likely still use your own network, as the first frequencies the phone will be the frequencies in use by your own carrier.

* Put the post into Google Docs if it isn't there already

* Turn on Suggest Changes so they can reject or ask questions more easily

* ASK THEM what sort of feedback they want: "Do you want feedback on grammar/wording, overall content and structure, or both?"

* If they want grammar/wording feedback only, I'll do a quick skim and correct some phrases

* If they want content/structure feedback, I'll provide that in a few comments throughout the doc

* If they want both, I'll do both

If you want to keep your friends, don't make more than 3-4 grammar corrections per page or so of content unless they ask for that feedback.
