Thank you for stating all of the above. I speak to a lot of people in my area who say "we don't want to become Seattle" but without understanding or seeking to understand how things in Seattle came to be. I think you hint at this above - it wasn't about Seattle providing handouts to "attract" homelessness (like I hear many conservative types arguing), rather it was a series of unfortunate events - housing got crazy expensive, there wasn't enough mental health and similar resources, incomes and opportunities don't align with expenses (health care being a major one!) and before you know it totally normal people are slipping through the cracks all over the place.
Yeah because everyone has the right to impede on others freedoms. Would you prefer,

1) Limited access to electronic devices or
2) Incarceration?

They got a pretty good deal wouldn't you say?
> To that end, Pichai introduced a “Simplicity Sprint” initiative to crowdsource ideas for quicker product development.

The previous innovation of keeping three-word personal mission on moma must have reached its effectiveness limit then. Is this just me or corporate top brass who’s collecting hundreds of millions annually are supposed to provide insight like this, not solicit it?
What large scale energy storage systems are in operation today, or even ready to be rolled out? I quote myself under another of your comment:

> Why does Germany performs abysmally wrt. electrical production carbon intensity despite having enough wind/solar installed capacity to cover their consumption?
Compression fitting will last longer than copper. If a copper fitting is done wrong it can pit. I'm going to be honest here and tell you I can't find sources for this but I thought I've seen it before in research -

Copper lasts 50-60 years. I believe that's type L which is used in the wall in homes in the US. The skill required to create a high quality copper joint takes time and a person may still make mistakes. A PEX compression fitting is basically just closing a tool. The probability of mistakes is lower.

I'm not familiar with the possibility of contamination in pex, is this due to the material?
She kissed Kirk, but from the picture it looks like her heart belongs to Spock.

RIP, Ms. Nichols. Thanks for the entertainment, and for pushing the world forward a little bit.
Pretty sure Buddha warned against nihilism. The void may be tempting, but is ultimately empty, after all.
I wonder how many others repos have over 100k issues. From a quick search it seems Linux does too.
It might sound like some intentional conspiracy but it's mostly just a natural consequence of the stalemate. As long as new home development is crippled by zoning, NIMBYism, and the endless related issues it's only natural for those who care to become cynical and team up with those who don't to find ways to feed the never-ending demand for performative action (backed by millions of dollars) with a supply of expensive temporary solutions.
Silicon Valley has quite a few RV-lined streets, if that's what you're asking.

PyTorch Maintainers, All You Wanted to Know but Was Afraid to Ask
Open source is all about the license. The code can all be available for anybody to look at but there might be a restrictive license preventing you from compiling it. A senior exec at my former company once said "Open source doesn't mean it's free".
The section about signature hashes could use some improvement. Cryptographic hashes have multiple use cases. The main one that comes to mind is basically just secure checksum/integrity hashes where you want to guarantee nobody could force a collision. For this case, all the scary warnings about "don't use these algorithms directly" makes no sense.
Nor would I expect it to.

I certainly didn’t endorse all forms of discipline or abuse of discipline, sorry if that wasn’t clear.
If I have business in lower Manhattan on a Sunday afternoon, why is it more efficient to have me spend 10x the money and 5x the time to use public transportation than to just drive? Why spend the money on rule enforcement?

You’d probably expend more money having cops pointlessly drive around writing tickets for meter.
Dictionaries are more free today than ever before. It's actually surprising how free they are given that (good) dictionaries are actually very labour intensive to create.
It's tempting to think there was some grand plan for Stadia, but more likely it was just another failed copycat like Google Plus. Game streaming tech was around before Stadia, and Nvidia is doing it much better now. I don't see how Google could ever compete directly with that unless they get into the GPU business themselves.
I feel like reddit is unusable these days without prepending old. as a subdomain. And I never use netflix or prime video on a mobile device, but I mean that's cool if you find that useful!

When in your day do you find yourself using video streaming apps on mobile
Aluminum wiring woes is as much of a problem in parts of Europe I am from as it is in the States.
Headline was definitely clickbait, but practically every headline is nowadays. It was written specifically to throw shade at Amazon. Although in my reading Amazon came off a whole lot better than than the union, but I’m a pragmatist and always feel like the effects are always more important than intent. If Amazon is hiring ex-inmates, no matter the intent, that is a positive thing from perspective.
So everyone's games using it will need to be taken down too? That is so strange.
there's actually more than that to it.. the state supreme court actually ruled that an RV is legally someone's home, which really limited the city's ability to do much about the situation

I don't disagree with what you are saying here - but it also takes money, time, resources, and political capital to do the things to get people off the streets. Seattle is so clearly overwhelmed by the problem that it could pretty clearly take years to unravel the problem even if there is an agreed path forward.
Fewer muggings but more deaths from traffic accidents. What a tradeoff!
I see your point, but the option space is not limited to two extremes. For example, getting press coverage is a viable third option as well.

I'll bet there are a broader range of options available worth considering. What about trying the public sanitation angle? Does that open up some options?
You can take precautions to avoid the oxidation. This is already done reliably on airplanes and in overhead power distribution, where aluminum wire is the standard.
It feels like big tech companies enforce a vicious cycle on the software landscape.

Step 0: Someone has a good idea and builds a solid product around it.

Step 1: BigCo sees the new growth budding out of the software landscape.

Step 2a: BigCo buys the new property, refuses to take risks with their new acquisition, and eventually shutters it when it stops printing money.

Step 2b: BigCo sues the new entrant into the ground.

Step 2c: BigCo launches a competitor/fork, gains market share by operating it at a loss, then shutters it when it fails to turn a profit.

Step 3: Innovation is stifled, start over.
> ...And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter.

We don't need Diana Moon Glampers, we do it to ourselves.

Another quote:

We need to write more, for ourselves, to others, in slow, careful sentences, building arguments. Tweets don't cut it.
NYC is experimenting with this now. The NYPD is pissed off and not enforcing turnstile jumping.
Google’s challenge is that their core business is one where the future looks bleak, and just about everywhere else they try to compete they lose money. Lots of random efforts that seem to go nowhere. Even in widely adopted businesses like cloud, companies like AWS are highly profitable and GCP loses a ton of money.

But management doesn’t want to be accountable for any of that. In their eyes everyone just needs to work harder.
> Also, the last time I looked at the cultural marxism article, it simply said a "far-right conspiracy theory". Now they've somehow managed to roll up antisemitism in there too. Apparently it became antisemitic in just the past year or two!

It's been there as long as the article has (almost two years)[1] and was on the Frankfurt School subsection on the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory for the last 3.5 years[2], so you've off by a while there.

Even before that you can read about how "blacks, students, feminist women, and homosexuals" are the vanguard but its roots are in the anti-semitic criticism of the Frankfurt school, apparently peddled at, for instance, a Holocaust denial conference 20 years ago[3]. I'm not an expert on the subject but doesn't seem recent or much of a stretch to me.

Remember that $925 is a per block rate. There is no way that transport, delivery, and installation is gonna eat up $900 per block. They will be transported on floats that can handle multiple blocks. A single block weighs approximately a ton so a loaded float can haul up to a couple dozen at a time. It will have the equipment to unload and place the blocks on the trailer so if you bought 100 blocks you have at most 5 loads. It takes one man less than 5 minutes to unload and place a block and if he has a swamper it is less time than that since the swamper can manage grabbing the blocks or setting them, either one. Your labor and fuel costs are gonna be low too since these will be procured locally. Any way you slice it you don't get to $900/block unless someone really pads the invoice. It was a giant rip-off from what I see.
Because getting big is only somewhat related to technical skill.
Thanks for pointing this out. I don't use Chrome so it didn't cross my radar. I'll have to install it and make the fix.
Yes those anti-mask nut jobs complaining about how spare rags fashioned into a mask don't stop the spread of covid. Wow thats crazy talk!

The entire tradition of thought around natural law and limits on the legitimate scope of the state have simply disappeared in Australia so far as I can tell. Everyone just accepts that the state has absolute sovereignty and it can pass any laws it wants.

Commonwealth nations have largely devolved into illiberal elective autocracies with immense power concentrated in the PM's offices, minimal parliamentary autonomy (i.e. everyone votes on the party line), and no ideological constraints on how state power is used or abused.
Thank you for that link! At first sight I couldn’t find any Spanish games, but could recognize some other non-Spanish titles (Kindred Saga and Velsarbor). Regardless, great resource.
Something happened in the 1950s - 1960s economically. [1] It is really as remarkable in its own right, as the industrial revolution had been. The rate of economic growth, slow but steady since the industrial revolution, started to accelerate.

It's impossible to really quantify this kind of thing, probably. And the causes were numerous (it's also an era of relative peace, for example). Still. I've always suspected much, maybe most of it, is due to to a mix of telecommunications, computer automation, and computer-based knowledge-amplification.

I also noticed this - e.g ‘wheel’ - I assume noun first would be a better default but haven't thought about it deeply
> cant your government just change it?

Short answer: no. The federal government (Congress) can propose amendments, but ratification requires the approval of a 2/3 majority of the 50 states' legislatures (38/50).

And remember that in the US, the governments of each state are not just sub-divisions of the federal government, but totally distinct entities with their own constitutions, legislatures, elections, etc. The federal government has no direct control over the states, and thus can not force them to approve an amendment.

So, to change the US Constitution, 39 separate governments need to agree, and that's a pretty high bar.
Privacy isn't quite the same issue as using someone's image in ads without permission. Normally you need at the very least a signed model release.

And then they edited a leg onto a woman with a prosthesis, which really goes against the message they are purportedly campaigning for. "All bodies are Beach Bodies, unless you're missing parts!"

Those women have a valid reason to be angry with the Women's Institute for thinking women should be okay with this, and should be compensated for the anxiety they experience as a result.
I believe they must have edited it after my comment as I simply copied and pasted their original text. I stand by your case being really strange. In any case; check out the other reply in this thread.

Either way, are you seriously going to sit here and argue with someone that a 4 hour walking distance to a school is somehow normal? Even in the US? I’m sorry dude but I’m done talking to you. I hope you enjoy the unique place that you live in.
5nm is too small for a fab. No one is going to be able to fit inside. It needs to be at least 3x that size.
For most developers and even a fair number of users open source isn't a fuzzy concept but a very concrete technical term describing a very particular kind of license.
Being under an open source license can provide a huge boost to a project or product. As such it is a powerful marketing tool and companies try to exploit that by systematically undermining the the most widespread definition of open source.
The danger of course being that we end up with a term as nebulous as Metaverse.
I would even go further and argue that we should cement that definition into law, i.e. you can't call a product open source if it hasn't an approved open source license. The EU has created precedent for that by protecting the names of certain foods and beverages with regard to their origin, manufacturing and characteristics, because it's an area that faces many of the same issues.
I have yet to meet an office-preferer who doesn't slack off a lot at the office.

In the office I can make appearances and sleepwalk through a bunch of meetings and I look productive.

At home, I actually have to produce something measurable and not just pleasant social interactions in meetings and on coffee breaks.
"Simplicity Sprinter" would make a great t-shirt.

I wrote a program to implement a half-QWERTY keyboard on a full-QWERTY keyboard (holding the space bar horizontally flips the keyboard layout) while I was recovering from a serious bike accident and didn’t have any use of my left hand for several weeks. It was my first time writing a Mac app and my first/last in ObjC. I built it so I could work more efficiently while I was injured, and because I needed to work.

I didn’t release it to the public because:

1. It very probably would violate patent law, and I don’t want to find out.

2. It was extremely crashy, probably because I was more concerned about making something kinda work than learning memory management. (The only change I made restarted it when it crashed.)
Yup, thats the one. Forgive the vague reference, but it was on HN fairly recently, and such statements from execs evoke the same feeling.
As Lyn Alden points out, these cash limits are almost never indexed to inflation. Hence, they become more restrictive over time (https://twitter.com/lynaldencontact/status/15537499345743708...):

… the US Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 made banks file gov reports on transactions/deposits over $10k (which was worth the equivalent of $80k today).

By never changing the threshold while dollars became worth 1/8th of what they used to, they broadened the scope by 8x.
They also needed an engineering company to sign off on the design of the blocks as being safe to stack and install.
I think to be truly fair Option A has to consider the energy generation you will have to do elsewhere to make up the difference, which may or may not be carbon neutral - or to flip it, the energy generation you won't have to do due to Option B. So it really depends on the energy generation landscape you are within.

This rings true every time I see someone talking about K8s. Companies just want something that is customizable to their workflow, they don't want a ready-made PaaS offering. Google's play was to provide an industry standard API interface that is available everywhere (which is essentially what Kubernetes is). Now that the control plane for compute is commoditized, GCP et al can sell complements - BigQuery, TensorFlow, GCS etc.

I think Anthos-like solutions are the future. Just buy the cheapest hardware from your local Datacentre or BareMetal providers like Hetzner and run GCP, AWS or some other flavor of software on top of it. This is also where Teleco Clouds are moving with OpenRAN and 5G, they are tired of being locked-in to full stack vendors like Nokia and Ericsson and want interchangeable solutions compatible through a common interface
They have some amazing engineering, IMHO, but it seems to get piped in random (and often contradictory and/or redundant) directions. They end up with a bunch of excellent but half assed proofs of concept and no major initiatives. They've become so afraid of taking on new challenges and risks, it's kinda sad to see.

Now instead of trying to solve major problems, they just move buttons and shadows around with every Android release and rebrand their hardware with new names and logos every few years.
Yeah I found this limitation, didn't have quite enough time to work out all the kinks this weekend. I comment on this at the bottom of the page, I believe the mouse events go through the summary due to the 3D transformation. I'll probably have to rethink how that state is implemented (thinking fixed position, as long as the browser can smoothly transition).
This is definitely one of those "it's going to get worse before it gets better" kind of things, because the increasing price of everything means that people are not going to have better upward mobility (out of homelessness) anytime soon.

If we wanted that, we should've invested in low-income housing, and public transit infrastructure so that people could live elsewhere, and commute. Also, healthcare for folks who struggle with mental health.

Lacking investment in those things, I imagine we can't start the clock on when this might get fixed.
Comcast technicians playing it dirty
Well, I have been mentioning the situation. Since in our neighborhood unfortunately one terminal in the backyard of 1 townhouse hosts 2 different townhouse. So I noticed every time that xfinity technicians show up as leaves. My High speed internet with AT&T simply disappears.????
I also expected that one. It's available as a web service too:

The number of oil spills that happened in that same time frame, that we're still trying to recover from, exceeds that by a great number. The environmental damage caused by those isn't purely theoretical.

Compare that, to the Exxon Valdez, and the Deepwater Horizon.
Baseless gut assumption: we're going to start seeing engineer layoffs at the big companies to push down salaries
Oh come on, I'd be so bummed to lose Shiey and Kurt Caz.
There is no one to fine for the blocks. You can't prove who placed them, and you can't fine someone for something that isn't on their property.
> I promise I didn't have my expectations too high, I only had a few core principles

Proceeds to list 6 pretty high requirements.

The author’s not wrong, those are good requirements, but not to be expected from any standard app these days.

To dig on the first: “ Offline support”, this in itself requires a lot of work.

Going the technically easy way will often go in direct opposite to your business model (mobile ads or access info sales). Going for subscriptions or other mechanisms will have you do harder technical solutions, making that specific innocent requirement a decently high hurdle.
It's not about Amazon's terrible actions fighting the union. It's about Amazon's exploitative labor practices, the day-to-day oppression that warehouse workers have to deal with.

Also, let's not forget that Amazon has unlimited funds to cover up and distract from their misdoings while the Teamsters do not.

Just because the US isn't on the metric system doesn't mean that every single standard we adopt is inherently wrong. Hating on our electricity is one of the silliest things I can think of. In my house the only thing that needs 240V are kitchen appliances, A/C and a car charging outlet, those get circuit breakers that tap both phases. Everything else gets one phase. The way more and more appliances and light fixtures(LED > CFL) are trending towards high efficiency and solar even 120V is more than necessary.
Not exactly a new phenomena. Remember "A Million Little Pieces"?
"Open source doesn't mean it's free" is typically used to refer to implementation and support costs compared to commercial solutions, not to licensing shenanigans within self-styled open source projects.
It's presumably revenge for the police getting caught out being stupid in an earlier encounter.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jun/21/block...

We also keep giving police 'temporary powers' that end up becoming permanent.

We lost anything worthwhile when we lost the right to protest. The ludicrousness of thinking its acceptable to have to apply for a permit to protest is sheer insanity.
Not only Republicans. Both parties act the same way when the Constitution becomes an inconvenience.
You mentioned pipes within the context of water. Copper pipe (tubing to be more exact) is used in air conditioning systems, the coils (heat exchangers) and the tubes that connect the condensor and evaporator.

There's also all of the copper used as windings in electrical motors, fans, compressors, transformers, etc.

A "hidden" use of copper is brass which is an alloy made with high percentages of copper.
"constitutional rights as Americans understand them" I assume is referring to the bill of rights. Australia doesn't have a bill of rights and most of our "rights" mentioned above are not "constituional" (in the sense that the constitution guarentees them) and are either conferred via common law, legislation, or not at all.

And to be honest, I am OK with this. A lot of negative change in the US seems to be coming from a SCOTUS that nobody voted for and that the regular population cannot overrule without a constitutional amendment.
Why can’t you give me the power to tow the RV?

The block has flowers painted on it, it’s pretty. Why can’t I park a block on the public street?
I think the issue is that managers want to "see" their employees "working". And by "working" I mean being seen at their desk, in meetings, or at the whiteboard. It's harder for them to judge by the quality of work because they don't have that expertise.
