This is the outcome of a policy which insisted that people with serious symptoms stay at home to let illness run its natural course without any treatment until they became hypoxic enough to warrant hospital admission because the symptoms were similar to Covid or they tested positive on the PCR test.

One day the policy will be seen as criminal negligence and gross medical misconduct on the part of health authorities.
NY had one of the most extensive systems. Compared to other places, like my home in the Bay Area, even at 20mph the subway is effectively faster.
It's a stretch to think they were even a good idea in theory. Putting riders with no helmets and no wrist protection on electric scooters is just this side of distributing free trampolines on the public pavement as a safety disaster.

The shortest path to transforming city transportation is protected bike lanes and law enforcement putting in the effort to put bike theft rings (if you have ever passed a pickup with dozens of bikes in the bed, that's a theft ring taking bikes far enough away from where they were stolen to sell them) out of business.
This is a very thoughtful look at what was (and wasn't) presented. It feels like nothing will come of this, Rogers will try and ride the media cycle until people have forgotten (like the October/2021, and April/2020 events).

Yes you can serve whatever you want from R2 directly. From [1]:

> The Cloudflare Developer Platform consists of the following Services: (i) Cloudflare Workers, a Service that permits developers to deploy and run encapsulated versions of their proprietary software source code (each a “Workers Script”) on Cloudflare’s edge servers; (ii) Cloudflare Pages, a JAMstack platform for frontend developers to collaborate and deploy websites; and (iii) Workers KV, Durable Objects, and R2, storage offerings used to serve HTML and non-HTML content.

Now it’s important to note that the Cache product does not fall into these supplemental terms (even if you use the Workers API to access it). So if you are Caching the video files you’d potentially run into problems (but that would also be true of serving video content from Blackblaze that you were caching).

As an anecdotal counterpoint, scooters have replaced Uber as my main method of transport and it's not even close. I probably take 4-8 scooter rides every single day and an Uber or two a week, when it was previously multiple Uber rides daily.

Also Even if we deny the carbon-cycle benefits of electric scooters, they probably do have local air-quality benefits.

(I don't have a car or bicycle and never did in this city, but I do walk less now than pre-scooter.)

Can you please explain your understanding of the word correlation? I'm very curios to hear how your reasoning for how statements about these can be proven by a single data point.
This is really noticeable in places in the US where things are close enough together to walk or bike but nearly every trip is still made by car because there's no safe way to do anything else. There's actually quite a bit of stuff within easy biking distance of where I live, but up until recently there was no safe way to actually bike there because all the infrastructure was high-speed, multi-lane streets without even a shoulder. Recently the city has been investing more in wide, separated paths for biking and walking places and it's starting to make a difference.
You are describing people living in the majority if not all of US cities.
That's not the right frame of reference to use. Yes, they're a little more pollutive than cycling or walking. However, they're also much faster. Scooters compete with cars, not with walking. And it is obvious that scooters are much more environmentally friendly than people driving or purchasing cars.
Thanks!

Our service is hosted in GCP today. Yes, it's totally possible that alerts may not be sent out or delayed if the regions where we hosted our services are down. I will definitely look into how we can mitigate such issues.

It is a crowded space. But the market opportunity is also huge. I think pretty much any business is a software business. Our main idea is to expand the suite to various other areas of monitoring and be the single platform for monitoring anything.
The piece makes some sense to me. Growing up in the 50's and after, I became aware of an interesting observation: it seemed like people coming here from other countries started life working in sweatshops, the garment district and the like, but eventually ended up owning the companies. Just an observation. When I mentioned that to a high school teacher (forgot which), she said words to this effect: people come to this country with visions of greatness, and they keep those visions; people who grow up here (the U.S.) live with the problems at hand and don't see the potential.
while it doesn't prevent rust from being used, it is still a hurdle which must be overcome. Building and maintaining a multi-language build system has significant costs, especially with a project with as much history and wide use as ghostscript.
I think your “not a debate” issue might also be not -real-.

According to this: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Demographic-characterist...

The median age of sex workers clients is 42yrs old, and the standard deviation is 10 years. If I’m doing my basic stats right that means that 99% of clients are under the age of 65, and 99.9% are under the age of 73. Which means that the 19yr old and about 1000 other clients are subsidizing the over 73yr old clients. Idk what the going rate is but if it’s $200 that’s $0.20 each if the over 71yr old paid $0.

I don’t think you’re getting ripped off, my guy.

Edit: fixed an early rounding error. 99.9% is under 73 not 71.
In Yocto development I typically rely on external OSS repos to achieve the first builds but, yes, in production one can lock down the source in a local mirror.
I guess "experienced C programmers" must be short supply although they have been writing C for years.
There do exist rigorous security standards that have been theoretically and empirically demonstrated to distinguish "secure" from "insecure" as long as we take those terms to mean something meaningful like, "can protect from state-level actors" and "can not protect from actors of average skill" which constitutes a difference of literal orders of magnitude. In fact, it even comes in the form of internationally recognized standards such as the Common Criteria (ISO 15408). In the general space of multi-level systems enforcing isolation between untrusted code and trusted data, we can look to the SKPP [1] or the Orange Book Class A1 [2].

How old are your kids?

Try to find math problems everywhere. Let's say you are making a cake (a real one, nor an imaginary one) if you must put 5 eggs in the cake and you already put 3, how many more must you add?

My old daughter used to play 6x6 sudoku. It's the closest thing to math in mainstream. Note that the strategies to play 6x6 are the same than in 9x9, but the best order to apply them is different. It's a nice game because you must make a lot of inferences and keep very clear what you really know and what you wish were true.

There are a few books with math problems for kids, but don't know any translated to English. One book that has some math stories is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Counted It's doesn't have too many problems for the kid, but it has a few problems that the protagonist solves. The numbers that appear in the problems are extremely well selected to create coincidences that the protagonist must solve.

> who is concerned with page size for those apps?

That was kind of their point: No one is, so why bother with a lot of effort?

> The apps with bundle sizes that people complain about are almost exclusively from third parties.

Right, like Box. Not the internal apps they were referring to.

> I've worked on some big internal apps, and almost none of them have payloads big enough to notice.

That echoes my own experience.

> If it ain't broken don't fix it.

I think you’re agreeing with the person you responded to. It was just that Box wasn’t the kind of app they were talking about. All I was saying was that your response, while interesting, was not 100% relevant. It was still interesting, though!
> I can go the mountains, the beach, work all in under 30 minutes. The user experience is great (minus traffic, but that is orthogonal to the vehicle itself).

That last part is the logical flaw: you’re acting like traffic is some random coincidence when it’s actually inherent to the design. Cars are inherently inefficient because you’re using over a hundred square feet of space and 2-3 tons of metal to move on average 1-2 people but because they’re familiar people who drive a lot tend to make excuses or simply not recognize those drawbacks - it’s always someone else making traffic, adding another lane will fix it even though that’s never been true anywhere in the world, it’s “under 30 minutes” because they’re thinking the best-case travel times from where they parked to the general vicinity of where they’re going rather than realistic door to door times including traffic, parking, etc.

Similarly, it’s not rolling back the standard of living to acknowledge that this lifestyle is expensive ($11+k USD/driver/year), unhealthy, and soaks up a lot of time. Yes, it’s nice to get in and go and that even works okay in a rural setting but in practice an awful lot of people are spending large fractions of their non-work time sitting in traffic and paying a large quantity of money to do so, all of which lowers the standard of living even before you consider the annual death and life-altering injury rates, effects of pollution (not just fuel but also tire and brake particulates), and the social cost of reserving so much public space for vehicle motion and storage.

Maintenance-free nuclear power plants are a pipe dream. Self-contained fail-safe reactors with enough fuel to last a very long time might be possible, but that is only part of a nuclear power plant. To make power with that reactor you need all the rest of the nuclear power plant around it. Water intake, heat exchanges, steam turbines, etc, etc. Diesel engines are relatively straight forward compared to all this. I think it would be easier to talk them into producing biodiesel for themselves (assuming they don't already.)

But if they're going to buy something high-tech once and keep it running themselves for years, wind turbines or solar seem more promising.
I have the opposite experience. I don’t get any messages from recruiters after having set the appropriate preferences. And I use LinkedIn to connect to relevant people in my field.
I wanted to use them when I was a student and lived 2 miles from campus. Unfortunately I couldn’t ride on campus, and I couldn’t ride in the residential area where I lived. So basically I could only ride in between - one mile out of the two. I just got a bicycle which didn’t have such restrictions.
Bogota has a mass transit system with BRT stations and double/triple length buses. This was done to avoid the upfront capital cost of a metro while still providing most of the benefits of frequent high capacity service. Now it is extremely crowded and an upgrade to an actual metro is needed but has not happened.
I think it's more subtle than that: it's mocking specifically the small size boast of JavaScript frameworks.
Agreed. There's a tidal turbine off Orkney, the most powerful in the world, that just went live: https://www.orkney.com/news/orbital-grid It's powering 2,000 homes and an electrolyzer creating green hydrogen. A few of those - or a few arrays of them- in the Strait might do wonders.

Often in memory we tend to make things from the past much nicer than they were. Here are a couple of interesting articles:

NYTimes - "Irrefutable and Undeniable" : https://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/06/opinion/irrefutable-and-u...

Those articles, alongside that war, played a large role in shaping my entire worldview. I come back and read them every once in a while.
ExifLooter integrates with OpenStreetMap and can remove metadata
- exiflooter can detect geolocation directly and display. if you use exiftool, you need to grep the output.

- exiflooter can show the location on OpenStreetMap. if you use exiftool, you need to get location and latitude and then copy paste to OpenStreetMap API.

- exiflooter can analyze directory for geolocation.

- exiflooter can remove metadata from directory of images.

- exiflooter works with pipe operation. If you want to give multiple urls to exiflooter, it checks all the urls for geolocation or remove metadata.

- for bug hunters you can combine with "waybackurls" which is get the urls from wayback machine. if you get all images from domain and send it to exiflooter. maybe you can gain some money. (bug bounty check READ.me https://github.com/aydinnyunus/exifLooter/blob/main/README.m...)

I doubt it. Network effects matter and nobody is switching from LinkedIn for fear of missing out. There is no other work-related social network like it.

It's different with FB/Instagram that there isn't much at stake so people will just switch to test something and then stay. With LinkedIn, the "what if I miss a job opportunity?" factor means there's pressure to ignore the UI issues and just stick it out.

I don't see a disruptor in this industry, do you know of any?

This is correct. My neighbour had some of their cars parked in their driveway on their own property.

Film crew moved all of their cars off of their own property down to the school.

Once school opened up, they were now “improperly parked” (by the film crew) and fines were issued and one of the cars was impounded.
I completely agree that it's an open question about what exactly constitutes data science and what should (or at least could) be covered in a standard introduction. For me, a fairly reasonable—though certainly not definitive—set of topics are five items listed on this course's syllabus. And that's what makes this so frustrating, personally. The instructors actually have a good proposal of what should be taught, but then just turn around and teach a classical course in statistical learning.
This rule works in Copenhagen too. I'm often met with disbelief and even mild outrage when I make the claim.
Interesting how they compare the range of the Lucid Air Dream BEV (505 miles) to the Toyota Mirai XLE FCEV (402 miles).

They never even mention that the range of the FCEV could quite easily be extended by say 100 miles by just increasing the size of the hydrogen tank and it wouldn't change the car design much.

Getting another 100 miles from the BEV car on the other hand by equipping it with a larger battery would probably change the car design quite a bit.

First of all, I believe it is a LinkedIn feature because I came across an article on the LinkedIn knowledge base site about this feature 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore... It's very frustrating how searching Google for anything related to LinkedIn reveals dozens of pages of SEO spam but I digress.

I'm hoping someone else can find the article I read. What I remember about it was: It said it was a beta feature gradually being rolled out, but if you wanted access sooner there was a link to contact LinkedIn to enable it for your company. The other thing I remember from the page is that it said it would automatically import 2 jobs per month for free, which is good because this is in addition to the 1 free job you can post per month.

Secondly, if I dreamt about this article or something and this isn't actually a LinkedIn feature, then I apologize as the title and content of my post is misleading. However it is still a problem that somehow other companies are able to post jobs on your company's official LinkedIn that link away from LinkedIn to another page.

I'm sure there's a way to opt-out of all of this (or at least I'd hope so). The problem is that we didn't _opt_in_ which is why I think people need to know.
Alternately, consider the 1970's US oversupply of physics phds, with associated "near collapse" of graduate programs. With a risk and pay gap - "Q: How can I talk with a physics PhD? A: Hail a cab."

Programs and market restructured, with more flow into industry. But retargetability of science PhDs to match market need remains a challenge. And today, science programs depend on tech absorbing lots of graduates. With acceptable career opportunity cost, both absolute and relative to other education paths. So what happens if/when tech no longer provides that opportunity? No longer mitigates oversupply back-pressure? Especially with teaching career paths collapsing.

The 1970's oversupply shakeup did some good. Perhaps another might too - perhaps science education might finally get the intensive focus needed to become less of a disaster. But...

> some careers have become exponentially more lucrative, with much less risk, than other careers, even though they require and use the same skill set.

Absent which, studying the sciences might become far less viable, rather than more. Tech is currently allowing society to avoid a great deal of "have a degree, can't find work" difficulty.

You could put a failing script (printing a message and exit 1) at .git/hooks/pre-commit in the submodule[1] (note that this is by-passed if you give --no-verify to git commit). Or you could put a script at .git/hooks/pre-push.sample in the parent repo (untested) that verifies if all commits in submodules are in the respective upstreams. I guess having that functionality in the core as a warning might not be a bad idea (I'm not a Git developer, you'll have to ask them).

> Where in the technological progression did we tipped from technology being a tool to being a handcuff. Broadband? Wi-Fi? Smartphones?

It's not about technological progression, it's ethics and legislation.

Back in the day you would either not build user-hostile technology on ethical grounds, or the law would quickly catch up and outlaw your practice, or you just wouldn't get the funding necessary to do. For example, when some politician's video rental history was threatened to be made public, a law was quickly passed to outlaw the practice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Privacy_Protection_Act) and when Google (I think) initially announced plans to use targeted advertising based on personal data they initially backtracked due to the huge negative public reaction at the time.

Somewhere however the tide has turned and building user-hostile technology started being socially acceptable and rewarded by the market. People/companies that we call "VCs" even started specializing in funding said technology, all while regulation took a backseat.
