How many kanji can you read? Even after finishing RTK it will still be zero if not using real learning materials, at which point having RTK is a waste of time anyway. That "method" is bad because it skip the main difficulty of learning kanji, which is memorising the ton of readings each character has and the actual words using them.

Feel free to waste your time on a snake oil method however, I'm not the one impacted.
I do not disagree that income inequality is objectively measurable. My point is your choice of whom to include for comparison (e.g. US inequality is very different than comparing US vs Yemen inequality. Moreover, low inequality with everyone below the poverty line may not be preferred to higher inequality but everyone above the poverty line. These are all personal, philosophical decisions - there is no objective right or wrong.

My point in suggesting metrics is they force you to think about what is important and to look for data to measure it. This helps to mitigate the "I feel bad..." scenario that could simply the be the result of negative press cycles.

For clarity, I agree with you that there is no escape from the subjectivity trap as only you can declare what is important to you and your view how society/the world should work.
I'm not sure what the bigger picture is?

Florida is the destination for financial newsletter publishers. Any old shtick will do - bear markets, bonds, bull markets, commodities, etc. Just buy a house and scrape other sites for content that you sell to noobs and rubes looking to be as "rich" as you.

A few years ago a bunch of the more libertarian among them sold out fearing an inevitable civil war after a recent election and they took their asses and assets to Puerto Rico where they could keep their citizenship and passports but dodge even more tax liability. Funny enough it was just in time for Hurricane Maria to hose the island. Now they live in their gated enclaves and wander out long enough to sample the excellent local food before going back inside so they don't have to deal with the people they can't converse with since they don't understand Spanish.

As a geoscientist I am disappointed that some geological processes take so long. The inundation of Florida should be turned up to 11. Let the rats surf some driftwood while they search for a new dry spot to shit on.

The Raspberry Pi can do most things, but with a bit of electronics for specific cases CM4s could be mated in for the compute.

This is a fallacy that leads to holding poor investments. There's an opportunity cost to every dollar invested beyond the drop in price.

I did run Arch for a while around 2010 but it didn't take. It's nice to find a permanent home - I've been on Gentoo since 2013 and an acquaintance has been on Slackware since the 90s.

Those three seems to be where us tinkerers end up.
Scooters also fit better with road patterns. Segways are too big, perhaps too fast for the pavements (certainly at 10 mph). But way too slow for the road.

Escooters move at similar speeds to bikes so fit in the same niche. They are also narrower, and this matters on roads.
There has been some research in trying to minimize or at least spread out sonic booms by changing aircraft shapes and engine dynamics, but as far as I know they're all still experimental. Boom is going to live up to its name if it ever actually flies, which means staying over the water whenever they are operating in the supersonic regime.
> IMO the "wrong" part is that most heroin users will tell you they fucking love heroin.

Yeah, the analogy wasn't great there but I think the point comes across. This is very timely for me, as I've just had a day spent playing chess (and losing) for hours.

I hate it, but I can't stop, because I get easily addicted to games. Luckily, I've wasted enough time on DotA to recognize the pattern, so I uninstalled the app, but by now I recognize the pattern of "this makes me feel terrible but I can't get enough of it".

Not everyone is, which is, I think, why social media (especially jealousy-fueled ones like Instagram) is so insidious. It's easy to mistake it for enjoyment.

> a turboprop has a propeller attached to the jet engine.

Since this is the pedant thread I feel obliged to point out that turboprops are propellers attached to gas turbine engines, not jet engines. Jet engines are gas turbine engines that produce thrust using a jet of hot exhaust gas out the back. Gas turbine engines that don't produce thrust using a jet of exhaust gas aren't jet engines; examples are turboprop engines and turboshaft engines (popular in helicopters, some tanks, etc.) Turbofan engines produce at least some of their thrust with an exhaust jet, so it's fair enough to call those jet engines. Probably the truest sort of jet engines are turbojet engines, which are no longer used for commercial aviation and only have some niche applications remaining (for instance cruise missiles.)

Then there are the "jet engines" which aren't gas turbines at all; jetskis use gasoline powered piston engines to produce thrust using a jet of water. And rockets, which don't breath air, could be called jet engines in a sense because they produce thrust using a jet of exhaust gas. But if you go around calling rocket engines "jet engines" you're going to get a lot of people correcting you by pointing out that rocket engines don't breath air. Many rocket engines do contain gas turbines though, using gas turbines to power propellant pumps, e.g. turbopumps...

And if we really want to get into the weeds, some piston powered aircraft get a small amount of thrust from their exhaust too. And some exploit the "Meredith effect", wherein air over the radiators gets heated and produces a small amount of thrust. These effects may contribute a few percentage points of the total thrust of the plane, and in truth, some turboprop configurations do this too. But >90% of the thrust is coming from the propeller, not the exhaust.

Correct, and has to because the evolutionary time that we had at least 3 meals a day has been really short. The body is made for extreme conditions, conditions that it's no longer exposed to.

So it had to be smart with when to store energy and when to spend it.
Does it do CarPlay/Android Auto? If that's the case, I honestly don't really care how fast it is - I have an older EV with Sync3 and it's fine (more than fine, I just use my smartphone for most interactions using CarPlay).

The only thing I may dislike is not having physical buttons/dials for climate.
Local Miamian chiming in.

I can tell you the natives are absolutely panicking. Family and social groups are being disrupted because property and rental prices have outpaced income by large margins. There wasn't much in Miami prior to COVID except tourism and service industry jobs. These are some of the lowest paying vocations in this country. The city and county are facing an affordability crisis.

And contrary to popular belief Miami is losing population because of the affordability crisis. For every cryptobro that moves here, a family of 4 migrates to Orlando or further north.

It's not all bad, though. New faces are highly receptive to making new friends and follow through. Traditional LatAm families are very insular and skeptical to newcomers. Local politicians are dynastic and blatantly corrupt. They don't have the same name recognition with new, younger voters so some are finding it harder to skate on winning by a few dozen votes. The Downtown/Brickell area is opening more new schools. Ironic the schoolboard is downtown but there were no neighborhood schools except a few highly selective magnet schools. All these new condos and apartments downtown have families scrambling to enroll nearby and finding out none were planned. So glad that is being fixed.
Many databases ordinarily modify the page cache 10 million times per second under load. I have one doing that right now on an i3en.12xlarge, which is only half a server. Not every cache replacement algorithm family has that kind of throughput but some common algorithm families do e.g. clock-sweep variants.

The "high-probability" refers to a type of pattern, not a specific instance, so there is no implication of recency. A page access pattern can be detected frequently but involve different pages each time.

Bélády's optimality theorem means cache replacement algorithm performance is governed by the theoretical limits on sequence prediction. You can optimize for either breadth or depth; improving performance for one pattern necessarily reduces performance for others. In practice, database caches optimize heavily for a few patterns and ignore the rest; the performance for the patterns they ignore is not much worse than if they optimized for all patterns equally, so it is a good trade.

They seem to have dramatically reduced fuel consumption, but fuel wasn't the issue for the concord the limited number of viable routes where.

Going from the Concrods 3550nm range to 4250nm should help with that as it opens up several new routes and longer routes see a more significant drop in travel times.
Turning Around a Failed Launch
Kinda like with running. Our hearts have no pedometer. It just works however hard it needs to for however long. The numbers, paces and such are things we add to gain insight into what that performance means. Calorie counting is often also the first introduction many people have to what their macros are like. And there is some wisdom here, around individuals and “calorie quality”, but you can ultimately still use calorie and macro counting as a baseline measurement to start understanding your body. I should caveat, when I say calorie counting I mean, tracking key macros too: protein, carbs, fat, fiber, etc.
Another point - there is a difference between being 'old' (a 40 year old veteran solder is 'old', for instance, even if they're still in extremely good physical condition), and being 'old' as in 95 years old and can barely get out of bed.

From a PE/market perspective, the sweet spot seems to be the 95 year old with a good reputation that still carries weight.

I imagine it's because of the good spread between current price and expected returns, as the 'old' brands this is done with aren't usually very profitable, if at all.
Why is it irrational to prefer a single battery platform? I try to keep all my tools Milwaukee because I know I have batteries for them, the tool-only package is cheaper, and I don't have to find the right charger.

I got a few tools that I needed before there was a Milwaukee version and now I'm slowly swapping them for the Milwaukee version. The latest was a Metabo pin nailer. The Metabo one is slow (it needs to build up some compression when you try to fire the nail), it breaks the nail strips, it jams about every 30th nail requiring disassembly, and the anti-dry fire mechanism kicks in with ~15 nails left. The Milwaukee version is better in almost every single way (the only exception is that Metabo's safety ensures the tip is pressed against something; Milwaukee has a dual trigger safety).
Lisp and assembly are rather different. Now Clojure by most is considered a lisp, but lisp jobs tend to mean common lisp which is very different from clojure.
In 2021 they adopted it as legal tender [1]. Finance observers such as patio11 have commented "Tether's interactions with El Salvador might be the boldest Bond villain plot ever executed in real life.

The issue isn't so much whether a person can keep an arch install stable, it's whether arch is stable for most people, most of the time.

As modern hardware and DE choices change and conflict, arch has to be manually tweaked to stay working. Those tweaks (aka config choices) are essentially the entire purpose of a normal distro.

Arch isn't designed to do the tweaks. It's just that simple.

Saying you kept arch running is either a brag about how well you manage it, how minimalist your environment is, or how simple your hardware is. Not to mention whether your needs drive you to try any of the edgier stuff.

Congrats to this guy though.
Before the handful of food delivery services made their way to the top 5 or so, there were a bunch of companies trying to do the same and they would often give you a free meal coupon.

In this way I ate for almost an entire week for free and never use most of those services again after that.
That's what I was thinking. Good luck getting all the random crap you have installed to update without choking on EOL'd packages, or various packages that have new config formats, or changes to the updater itself, or apps which only support version-at-a-time migrations (or otherwise don't include the full history needed to migrate)...

Minor nitpick, I don't know if there really is such a thing as a singular "correct English", especially when you're comparing across cultural groups (but even within). There are so many variations between American English (and its various subgroupings), British English, Indian English, Singaporean English, etc.

It's a widely-used living language, and one without a central authority (language regulator, unlike many other languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_language_regulators)

So English just kinda grows and grows haphazardly. There are more people in India who speak English (Wikipedia estimates 30% of 1.38 billion, which is 400 million) than there are Americans or UK residents. IMO their particular usage isn't any more or less correct, any more than American English is more or less correct than British English.

It's not a matter of being politically correct or anti-racist or whatever, just the observation that English has always been a hodgepodge of regionalisms and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, and by speakers/population alone, probably the American and British varieties will continue to shrink as other Englishes take over. Probably it's us Westerners that will need to adopt to the new Englishes rather than the other way around.

Grammar prescriptivists and grade school teachers might disagree, but well, they are overwhelmingly in the minority already and will become increasingly more so.

Most of the theorizing about this episode gets the history wrong. The user outcry was because News Feed on rollout suddenly broadcast widely communication that had been previously been reasonably private. Suddenly pokes and wall posts between two friends were pushed to your entire network.

Users weren’t wrong to dislike this! Facebook violated their assumptions, just as if you learned someone was live-streaming your conversation with them at a bar. In response, Facebook provided more granular privacy controls—but more importantly, users changed their behavior to adapt to the assumptions of the new platform.

(The outcry also highlighted the potential for virality in feed-like platforms, which was great for growth but of course also has negative consequences…)

> Would this be fraud?

No. This is not fraud.

Doordash and the pizza company had no contractual relationship. The pizza company did not contract with Doordash to run an "$8 off" pizza promotion. Rather, Doordash, in an attempt to claim a near monopoly on the food ordering market, chose to sell food at a loss. The goal of this strategy is to get consumers used to buying from Doordash (while prices are low). Once a sizable percentage of orders are going through Doordash, Doordash can raise fees and refuse to list companies that don't pay up. The only way to get this sort of market share is through tactics like the one described (selling food at a loss).

When the pizza man chooses to buy his own pizza on Doordash, he is merely affording himself of the same cheap pizza that Doordash is providing to anyone else. Doordash is behaving rationally here. They need to capture the mindshare of users. By providing pizza delivery at prices that are lower than economically viable, Doordash will get this. The pizza man is simply choosing to benefit while he can. Long live the pizza man!

You're not alone in your fears, I've been thinking a lot about the same questions over the last few years especially.

What gives me comfort is acknowledging the limits of technology in general. Even though technology has profound material affects on human life, it ultimately is a system with its own motives that are totally alien to human interests. I thought "Technopoly" by Neil Postman did a pretty good job summarizing this.

Humankind has always been and always will be codependent with technology, but ultimately, human culture is a distinct thing with distinct values from technology. To find meaning we need to take seriously philosophy, tradition, and religion. Taking the thoughts of people who lived before the major technological shifts as seriously (if not more) than of people today made all the difference in my mindset.

I admit, I'm still pessimistic about our technological future -- uniquely worried about some profound harm coming down the pipeline. But that's not the same as despair. I still feel like I can have a meaningful (even if very small) part to play in the story of humankind, separate from the story of technology.
> It’s used to subsidize an untenable customer expectation. [...] the only viable endgame is a promise of monopoly concentration and increased prices. But is that even viable?

I think that's such a great summary. This has arguably already been completed with the music industry and streaming. Although another option other than "increased prices" is to have it be a loss-leading part of a larger profitable media portfolio. Either way, songwriters still get screwed.

(Five imaginary bucks to the first person who replies that songwriting is just supposed to be a marketing expense for touring and merch! :) )
