I ride a motorcycle, and this is the second most serious accident after turning in front of a motorcycle (typically left hand turn in the US at an intersection). Both cases are because the driver didn’t “see” the motorcyclist or misjudged their distance.

Maybe Tesla should do a recall to install a flashing light on top when drivers are on auto-pilot.

“Therefore in 1909 I announced one morning, without any previous warning, that in the future we were going to build only one model, that the model was going to “Model T,” and that the chassis would be exactly the same for all cars, and I remarked:

‘Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black.’

I cannot say that any one agreed with me. The selling people could not of course see the advantages that a single model would bring about in production. More than that, they did not particularly care.”

Henry Ford in collaboration with Samuel Crowther in My Life and Work. 1922. Page 72

Beside, color is all in your mind.
Out of it, it's just electromagnetic waves.
parallelising the build helps, but RAM is also a big factor here since if you come short (which is more likely to happen when parallelising) swapping will make things grind.

if you're lucky enough to have enough RAM to spare (which would be, like, a lot!) you can also build in a tmpfs ramdisk!
Them not getting together to just fix this issue universally is stupid. Apple is naturally secretive (and profit from status-quo) and non cooperative and google is just a bunch unplanned running around.
> If we could print money without backing it with something scarce like gold, guess what will happen?

We do. We adjust monetary supply for markets to be stable - money has been not backed by anything tangible for quite a while. Like with any proposed framework(also applies to monetary stuff) you find out how it affects outcomes and you adjust usage.
I have always been able to get a service rep on live chat within 5 minutes... which is literally a "Live Chat" button on their contact page not even hidden.

Note this is different than the Discord dev chat which is for technical questions.

Once I get live chat it may take a day or two to resolve but if it takes longer I just hop on live chat again and pester them until it's escalated.
If a blind person told you that they believed that the sky is blue because someone told them it is, would you respond that that's argumentum ad verecundiam and therefore the sky is not blue?
I think an interesting meta take is the question why payment processors employ these draconic fraud protection mechanisms in the first place.

I think it boils down to the prevalence of using simple magnetic stripe credit card payments. While chip-and-PIN or Google/Apple pay are of course also subject to fraud, not having even a first factor (pin/password/fingerprint) makes card copying and theft viable in the first place.

I have no data, but I'd bet that you get substantially less fraud if you only process transactions with a first security factor, and you can probably still improve on that with a second factor (e.g. text message to authorize).

As a consumer, I have to deal with declined transaction frequently (I moved which creates a mess for ZIP based "auth", another cause is using cards outside my home country); I find the whole situation hugely frustrating.
I cannot judge if xi is looking for fight. China, as any other nation, is facing real challenges and problems (including those you mention). However, I do not see a strong evidence that China has from now on only the loosing 'hand' with inevitable downward trend of development across entire spectrum of social and economic lifecyle. In addition, wealth is a relative metric, which means one would have to specify relative to what/who it will weaken.

The world as of right now is in the state of flux of change, force-fields are shifting and every nation is positioning itself to benefit from the anticipated future situation. Certainly this is a self-referential issue since each country may influence the process itself. Therefore, I think 'chest thumping' is going to be the norm for a while (not only by CCP). History teaches us that conflicts (of any kind) are natural during such periods.

Mmm...it's not that fast...like three weeks? And it is already recommended for that, my difference of opinion is in the quantity. It came down to reading an article about a man with heavy no talking no walking brain damage. He got 15 a day and recovered in six months.

Part of the justification for the insane expense of the interstate highway system (besides the dubious defense benefits) was that it would act as a check on usurious rates by the railroads. Yes, we could just regulate or nationalize the railroads (that the public largely created via huge land giveaways and other benefits) but it's more American to counter the flaws of one big business welfare program with another: subsidizing auto infrastructure as a giveaway to Detroit and the oil companies.

I'm referring to a "color" in the product customization sense of the word.

You could buy a red toaster or a blue toaster, and you'd have every reason to think that it's different paint or dyes, but an otherwise equivalent product made of the same underlying materials.

Whereas stainless steel partly refers to a small range of colors, but mainly to the properties of the material.

In the context of kitchen appliances stainless steel products are almost always of higher quality and durability.

As an example: You can find stainless steel fridges, and cheap fridges, but no cheap stainless steel fridges.

If you were offering me a red or stainless steel fridge sight unseen I'd always go for the stainless one, even if I much preferred red to stainless as a look.

I could always glue a red MDF panel to the door, but the advantages of "stainless" would extend to other premium aspects of the fridge.

Yes, they are called tests.

This looks really good. Apart from anything else, they have a fraud detection tool that you can configure to match your own requirements, and can control yourself what happens to payments when filters are triggered:

It's not a new idea and there already have been dozens of papers, and entire books (http://erewhon.superkuh.com/library/Space/Spacecraft/Deep%20...), published about using the solar gravitational focus as a lens and sending a spacecraft there. In fact NASA was already funding early mission studies like the Heliopause Electrostatic Rapid Transit System (HERTS) a decade ago.

And not only is it good for planetary sciences, it's good for cosmology too since it enables looking at the truly small scale structure of the cosmic microwave background. A mission to the gravitational focal line opposite some star should be one of the highest priorities.

I have talked to somebody in the SBB R&D department recently about this and the problem is actually that there has to be at least one person on the train.

Imagine a door gets jammed or there are some problematic passengers. If there is someone on board they can fix the problem in a couple minutes. But on a completely automated train there is no one on board to fix the problem. One solution would be that you send out crews to arrive at smaller stations and fix the issue, and larger stations could have dedicated people, but that is already more investment and less efficient than just having someone on board.

Retrofitting automation for a train network in a wealthy country like Switzerland wouldn’t be a big problem, but it just makes more sense to leave the driver in there. Accordingly, SBB is investing much more into driver augmentation to help the drivers drive as efficiently, safely, and consistently as possible.
In the article:

"Listerine also has years of comprehensive clinical research supporting the health benefits, as well as potential risks, of its use. This should greatly reduce concern around the possibility of future product lawsuits."

I should have elaborated in my previous comment - I don't think there is zero risk. When I said exceedingly unlikely, I meant as an overall material risk.

If you do hold the belief the risk is material, you can factor a scenario analysis and create a blended EV to apply to valuation approach. This would help reflect the risk when trying to price the royalties.

I appreciate the criticism! Love reading all these different perspectives.

seems so, although id argue the recession light came on in the cockpit sometime around late 2020...we just chose to ignore it. doubling down on 2010s speculative monetary policy of near negative interest is just wishful thinking, but directing relief grants to multibillion dollar industries was bad comedy.

its really hard to imagine how the fed assumed 'free money' was a sober policy to drive one of the worlds largest economies on. the best we can hope for now is the student and automotive credit bubbles dont burst under the strain of half-percentage-point increases, which i suspect will continue throughout 2023 as inflation crests 15%.
> Is there an alternative service one could use? Is there a way not to give these shady companies power to steal all my money?

There are many alternative services listed in other comments, but to be clear, every single one of them has the power to do exactly what Stripe did.

There is no way to accept credit card payments without accepting that power to freeze suspicious incoming payments, simply because fundamentally credit card payments are not final and can (and often will) be reversed afterward, and if someone promised to never freeze merchants' funds, every fraudster in the world would come to try out their services, bankrupting them in the process.
Kind of amazing how this administration isn’t getting the kind of ridicule that would be expected if the previous administration tried to deny a recession was happening according to the objective definition by including a subjective qualifier.

Is this not the same thing as ‘alternate facts’?

I think that the conclusion this thread draws is wrong, because less overall colors make color accents stand out more. In other words: If everything pops out, nothing does.

Most of our furniture and walls are white, gray/stainless steel or black, and variations from it. Yet, we use color accents in most rooms, e.g. orange towels in the bathroom, or lilac bedclothes. So while our place confirms the overall trend, it does not support the conclusion, as it looks much more colorful than my parent's place, which resembles some of the pictures in that thread.

Another important aspect is that the color I like today is not the color I like tomorrow, so buying something with muted colors makes sense, especially for long-lived things like cars or kitchen interiors. It is much easier to change the color accents in a kitchen if you happen to fancy a redecoration that way.

And last but not least, it's easier to sell stuff like cars if it is not very colorful.
It's worth noting that there is another side to the story. As Wikipedia notes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Donziger), significant evidence of Donziger's fraud ended up being captured by a friendly documentary crew that had been following him around.

The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague found that the evidence placed before the Court was "the most thorough documentary, video, and testimonial proof of fraud ever put before an arbitral tribunal", and that [Donziger] did engage in blackmail and bribery of Ecuadorian judges.

The situation is complex, and I certainly don't have any insight into the true rights and wrongs of the case. And there's certainly evidence that points towards Donziger's innocence too. But Esquire's take is, I think, entirely unbalanced, and discounts out of hand the idea that any of the many, many court cases Donziger has lost (in multiple legal systems and in front of multiple judges) may have been at all correct.
> How many new drugs is Japan developing? From what I can tell, a fraction of what we do. The free market is pretty damn good at that.

Japan actually has a bunch of fairly major pharma companies that develop a lot of new drugs. You just don't hear their names in the US because the drugs get licensed to other companies when they're sold in the US and you only hear the name of the company that licensed them, but there are plenty of drugs that are commonly described in the US that were developed by Japanese pharma companies.

Local drug price regulations actually don't necessarily affect drug companies in a given country that much for this reason (they don't just develop drugs for the domestic market, and licensing to other countries to sell internationally is pretty much the norm).

However, in the case of the US it seems like the US pays a disproportionate amount of the total costs so it's possible that US drug price controls would affect pharma companies worldwide more than other countries' drug price controls. I'm not sure whether or not this can really be described as the free market doing a good job or not since the location where drugs are developed doesn't really affect their availability in other countries.

To me, Tom Bombadil is the introduction of natural magic. He is nature, indicating to the reader that there is a source of magic beyond the elves, Wizards, and Sauron.

There are many magical creatures in Middle-Earth without a described source, which to me makes the whole story feel more magic. The Ents probably being the chief example.

Another important role of Tom’s is his introduction of magic and power outside of the “good vs evil” struggle.

It feels like “colourful” is being flatly accepted as the superior outcome. I’m not sure it is. It’s just different. And it’s style so it’ll come and go. Remember the iMac? Computers were never colourful. Then they were. They’re not really again. I imagine it’ll keep evolving.
This is really nice. The only thing I'm missing here is a simple way to bump versions. Any ideas on how to do that?

I believe that people should be a lot more trigger happy when it comes to writing stream of consciousness and sharing it.. but at the same time we should be structuring our communication tools around iterative refinement so that the reader can pick up the slack and make the adjustments they feel make sense and slowly the final version of the text emerges from this process.. Right now we do a lot of denial of service attacks on science because we've raised the bar to an anxiety inducing extent, I believe it is important to bring it back down again so that we can all be humans.
Congress and the previous and current administrations are also responsible for the "free money", not just the Fed. Lot of blame to go around.
> One of the reasons people are obese is because all they can afford is the worst foods.

Obesity is caused exclusively by calorie surplus. You can literally eat pure sugar, twinkies, and sugary beverages exclusively at base metabolism maintenance calories and never become obese.

As for your ignorant assumptions, I've been homeless for short periods of time in my life (in between jobs moving to a different city) and lived far below the poverty line for like 8 years of my adult life. Frankly, you have no idea what you're talking about. You can eat far healthier than the average american on the lowest budgets in the US. At literally half the poverty line if you spend 30% of your budget on food that's $5 a day on food - now you've probably never been poor so you don't understand how far $5 can take you in america - here's a nice showcase of what you can eat for $3.33/day

https://stackyourdollars.com/eat-on-5-a-day/

that's bacon/eggs/toast for breakfast
beef burritos for lunch
chicken and vegetables for dinner

and that meat you're spending money on can all be replaced by far cheaper healthier alternatives like lentils or beans

So again, you've got no idea what you're talking about

yet another $5/day menu that includes snacks, with mostly healthy foods and surpasses most peoples calorie needs https://uhs.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/sos-eatingwell5...

I could do this all day, honestly as it's not even remotely hard to eat very healthy and very well on $5/day

It depends on the business model. For a high margin business, it might be fine, but for a business that has slim margins, it could significantly reduce the amount of product they can buy over the next quarter, which could make net margins negative.
