Except the Royals themselves say something else. You linked to a webpage about how money gets created which isn't germane to the provenance of the already existing money that is owned by the royal family.

Take a look at "the official web site of the British Royal Family. Written and managed by the Royal Household at Buckingham Palace, the site aims to provide an authoritative resource of information about the Monarchy and Royal Family, past and present." [1]

That website has a webpage devoted to the "Royal Finances" [2] that says, "There are three sources of funding for The Queen, or officials of the Royal Household acting on Her Majesty’s behalf, in both a public and private capacity. These are: the Sovereign Grant, the Privy Purse and The Queen’s personal wealth and income."

"The Sovereign Grant: This is the amount of money provided by Government to the Royal Household in support of The Queen’s official duties, including the maintenance of the Occupied Royal Palaces: Buckingham Palace, St James’s Palace, Clarence House, Marlborough House Mews, the residential and office areas of Kensington Palace, Windsor Castle and the buildings in the Home and Great Parks at Windsor, and Hampton Court Mews and Paddocks."

> Lexica, a search engine that solely indexed images from Stable Diffusion’s beta tests in Discord, has over 10 million images in it. It would take a lifetime to explore everything in it, a corpus made by a relatively small group of beta testers in a few weeks.

There are many interesting points, but this is a key one I think. The sheer volume is astounding, like the media flooding of the last decade taken up exponentially.
> A huge niche opportunity

kind of an oxymoron. Why bother having an "art community" when one can just generate all the art at random themselves? That's the whole point of DALL-E and co, an endless stream of generated images... no need for a community for that.
The uncore has been growing every generation so this is not new. I've wondered why it's so large myself. Intel has the audio DSP, ISP, GNA, and now VPU that mostly aren't used so maybe they account for the bloat.
I think we should invest in both, and I don't think the article is saying we shouldn't.

I do think that (according to the article) the investments are a bit skewed towards self-driving cars, where more investments into bikes might have a higher yield.

Note that you don't need to get rid of your car to benefit from more people on bikes. More people on bikes on bike lanes means less people in cars to get in your way. So you still see quite a benefit indirectly.

That said, with city design like in eg. the Netherlands, you can have shops in walking distance, services and jobs within biking distances, and heavy items can be delivered to your door. This means you only really need to rent a car fairly rarely (be it normal or self driving one day) . This works for a lot of people. A lot of other people do still have cars, but might still eg. get on the bike for a quick run to the store when they get home.
tl;dr figure out what you want before committing all your resources.

It might be just me and a terrible string of bad luck bad I've seen so many projects that were kickstarted preemptively due to company politics or just management wanting to secure additional funding.

By the time (usually between 3 to 9 months) business stakeholders came to an agreement on what they actually wanted the team developed so much technical debt that it's virtually impossible to untangle from all bad decisions for the rest of the development cycle.

That's why I'm a huge advocate of starting simple, with a monolithic approach, to tread the water and have enough time to figure out the true objectives of the project first.
It was a terrible tragedy, but it’s patently absurd that we should give someone a jail sentence for making a joke about it.

(The jail sentence was suspended, but that’s hardly the point. Any criminal conviction, even a fine, carries the ultimate threat of jail, or, if you resist arrest, even death — all this, for a joke).
Thing is, so much cannabis consumption today is through vapor or edibles.

I'm not saying it's safe to vape or eat cannabis when you're pregnant. But you if you say:

You are correct, I misread that as 2.3% of US (which is about 10% of 25%), rather than the correct 2.3% of timberland. So, only 2.3% of 25% - or .6% of the US.

> Isn't that what people read for fun? If you have to teach reading and grammar, I'm sure that there are worse choices.

My classmates and I always read books for fun, and none of them were the kinds of books in English class. They were more adventurous things like Narnia, Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter, and Ender's Game. Also seemed like the girls could tolerate the English class books a lot better, which felt unfair. Looking back, the only time I enjoyed the books was the one year I had a male English teacher picking them.

> And you do need some serious background in Calculus for most college-level STEM fields, including probability/statistics/data science.

Sure I remember using calculus in those college fields, but it didn't require what I'd call a serious background in it. Students could just beef up their calculus skills on-demand if needed. I especially never used all that training in solving complicated integrals by hand, which was seemingly half of Calculus BC.

Lol. The British monarchy is completely irrelevant. It is useful as a target to release some of that social tension, though, like is the case here.
You must be one of those people who watch movies. I would just listen, for years. Especially when I had a passenger watching the movie. With a passenger, I can ask “what just happened?” But by myself, I’d have to look away from the road to see what happened. Putting it on the dash so I could just change my focus, without taking my eyes off the road, mind, seems way more responsible.

> What exactly is an "obedient"? Are you really deploying a disparaging tag on people who are mourning? That seems a bit crass to me.

Yeah, its a crass term I will agree with you there. The public has come out in droves to support the royal family and respect the ongoing proceedings and a small number have vocally voiced their opposition to the situation and are being condemned for doing so. So, I used this charged term rather cheaply to paint with broad strokes the kind of person I imagine to lap up this unique moment.

> I saw on C4 (UK TV channel) this evening, some people in Scotland describing their disaffection with the Monarchy. That's fine and quite right.

Here I also agree with you that its nice to hear that C4 was airing voices of people with dissenting perspectives, but I don't necessarily think it should be confined to the TV or the internet as the "appropriate place" to air such views. I think going out and publicly protesting it is much more impactful

> What exactly do you want?

For people to realise that this isn't just a private occasion for immediate family to pay their respects to the recently departed. That the Royal family, for better or worse, has and continues to play a significant role in the ongoing story of this country and in having such a prominent and public position should be tolerant (even understanding?) of those who oppose, rather than to have it simply be quashed and scrubbed away
I like and admire the Queen, but I also wonder about this. How much of our admiration is the result of the British media giving the Queen essentially 100% positive coverage at all times for 70 years straight?

(Unlike politicians, who will be gone in 4 years or so anyway, media outlets are terrified of upsetting the royal family, who are permanent).

See this paper – Veeder TA, Leo RJ. Male genital self-mutilation: a systematic review of psychiatric disorders and psychosocial factors. Gen Hosp Psychiatry. 2017 Jan-Feb;44:43-50. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.genhosppsych.2016.09.003 Epub 2016 Sep 14. PMID: 28041576.

To quote its abstract:

> Data were obtained from 173 cases: genital mutilation (n=21), penile amputation (n=62), castration (n=56) and combined amputation/castration (n=34). Common psychiatric disorders included schizophrenia spectrum (49%), substance use (18.5%), personality (15.9%) and gender dysphoric disorders (15.3%)

So, while it is almost 50% schizophrenia spectrum, substance use is the second most common cause (although personality disorders and gender dysphoria are not far behind, and the difference between the three might not be statistically significant.)

Coming from the country that has held Julian Assange in a dungeon for the crime of journalism for years at the behest of the United States, this comes as no surprise.

Functionally zero. In theory, the monarch has power, but it is never exerted, because they know that if it was exerted a) it would be ignored, and b) they’d immediately be overthrown.

They act as a head of state in the same way that e.g: Germany has a President.

Noble ranks like Duke and Baron are also completely irrelevant to governance.

Lords _are_ relevant, on the other hand. They form the House of Lords, which plays a role as (simplifying) a check on the power of the House of Commons.

Lithium battery fire cannot be 'put out'- in a normal sense. A fuel tank of petrol needs oxygen to burn, and when you spray foam on it your cut off the oxygen and the fire stops.

A battery already contains energy, all the chemicals required for the reaction are already present, and once the energy release starts, sealing it from the environment does not stop the process.

Ebike and drone batteries are large enough to be properly dangerous and fire departments make noises about them but offer no solutions. A fire extinguisher large enough for a 500wh battery weighs 12 kilos - most people can barely lift that!

We have no traceability in the battery supply chain and there is no 'battery safety box' that I could readilly buy. It is not clear if an average metal furniture would contain it. And the regulator is sleeping on the job.

Precisely which reviews have you seen for Ryzen 7000 that paint it as a space heater?

The official announcement indicated significantly better power efficiency. AMD claims that if you limit both to a 65W TDP, you'll see 74% better performance on the new generation, but that even at full TDP, the efficiency will be higher.

However, I am waiting on the actual reviews... not making multi-year decisions based off of limited, pre-release information. If it is more efficient, then vowing to stick with an older, less efficient product just because it has a lower TDP number on the box doesn't make any sense. Efficiency is the only thing that matters when seeking to avoid a space heater, since the less efficient product will generate more heat for a given amount of work. All of these processors will clock down when idle

Sure. But the counter example (which is what I believe the article is arguing) is that one woman can make a baby in 9 months, but 9 women cannot together make a baby in one month.

Whether an organisation's "work capacity" is bottlenecked by things like gestation periods which cannot be circumvented, or things like 10 foot walls which can be cooperatively circumvented - is a great question though.

> having your license revoked is itself a serious penalty in the US.

Unless you're relying on the license for work, I'd agree it's probably a more severe action in the US than here in Norway, where most people live in areas with well-functioning public transport.

There's one important detail that I had forgotten, as I have never been exposed to this thankfully. If the police wants to temporarily revoke your license, you have to agree. If you do not agree, it will go to the courts within three weeks[1]. The police, and courts, should weigh the impact of revoking your license against the severity of the incident.

There is a hardware limit, just like there is with Touch-ID. I don't really see the point in continuing with this if you're going to argue in bad faith - trivial research would have revealed that and other limitations which would prevent this on the current line-up.

Now I'm not saying that Apple can't produce an iPad in the future that delivers on the right experience mix in a multi-user capable setting, but that's not what you're asking for - I've provided just a few of the mant kinds of limitations that will degrade the user experience in a way that makes clear that Apple aren't just trying to juice their customers.

So the answer here is neither "Apple should just make it happen", nor "You should just buy a second iPad" - the answer is: you should buy the tablet that gives you everything you want, or learn how to share, I rdgaf.

> So Amazon can take free code, sell it as a slickly-packaged service, and not need to share anything.

Right, because they didn't change it. So what would there be to share anyway? 'Go to https://github.com/akka/akka'?

> but it does mean that at least every user has access to the code to make their "Akka Service" as good as Amazon's.

That code is meaningless. In this scenario we already established that Amazon is selling an unmodified copy of Akka as a Service (which, by the way, we will revisit this point later). And we already established, in your own words, that it's not about the code:

> Their secret sauce is "we have a Borg Cube's worth of datacenters, so we can run the same code as you at a lower price".

So what would the SSPL require, they publish their deployment scripts to their cloud datacentres? Like I said, that's meaningless.

> "Akka Service"

Final point. There's no such thing as an 'Akka Service'. Akka is a bunch of libraries. You link it into your JVM application. You don't run Akka separately, so by definition you can't offer it as a service (even if you're Amazon).

Hence my suggestion of AGPL, and heck let's be generous, let's add a commercial use exception for businesses with less than $20m revenue, similar to what they're doing now with the BSL. Except with my suggestion the software would stay as strong copyleft, most businesses would be happy with the commercial use exception, and a few would have to pay their fair share.
