Every junction on the E&C horseshoe if traffic light controlled, including all the cycle crossings.

The safest route for bikes is to take the segregated bike route at the bottom of the horseshoe, then using the mixed bike and pedestrian crossing to go directly over the mixed used paved area, then use the mixed crossing on the other side to join the A201. Either that, or use the segregated cycle path, then horseshoe near London Rd.

But honestly, on a bike you would just avoid the horseshoe completely. There’s usually better cycle routes that are more direct, and avoid large junctions like the E&C horseshoe.
Probably not the one who can make the SPR never run out.
> We are hearing reports that Apple is continuing their hostile path of pairing parts to the phone, requiring activation of the back glass after installation.

On the other hand, this makes stealing an iPhone more and more pointless, as more and more parts cannot be parted out and sold. After activation lock was added, thieves started parting out screens and batteries to sell them and get at least some value out of an otherwise useless stolen iPhone. Want to see how useless an activation locked iPhone is? Check eBay. I assume that for iP14+ it'll be even less. I welcome this move.

> Second, considering that energy use is strongly coupled to GDP growth, an important measure for the performance of the energy-economic system is the energy return on energy invested (EROI). The energy system’s EROI is likely to shrink substantially during the transition to a renewable energy system.

I can't tell if they're trolling, or have just been sucked into the ERoEI conspiracy theories, but if you believe that fossil fuels are magical and can't be replaced, then I suppose their model makes sense. We'd be literally running out of energy and would need to plan for that.

Of course, that's just nonsense that became popular because it let fossil fuel producers eke out a few more years of profits, so we can mostly ignore what these people say even if they are just well meaning but misled. Because energy is getting cheaper, so if you think the opposite of that you'll get a lot of weird conclusions.

For those still thinking ERoEI is anything other than a clear sign you should ignore the rest of the opinions the person has, here's a brief twitter take:

After you're better rested, maybe read my second paragraph?
Liberal as defined by a leftist tends to mean, in my experience, a deference to less regulated markets, and support for needs based social programs.

Leftists (so called) economically challenge the idea that markets are inherently good, asserting that many industries should not be market based. Health insurance, prisons, schools, and so on. They tend to be more open to universal social programs which don't require stringent needs testing.

Leftists tend to distinguish themselves from liberals more than distinguish liberals from conservatives in my experience. I would say liberals in America have much higher respect for marginalized groups, and they seem to have a desire to solve problems, as opposed to Republicans.

edit at 1636 UTC: My above comment is quickly thought out and from mobile. I think "party alignment" would be somewhat more complex if our voting system allowed more than two parties to exist.
I suppose I don’t know how in person voting works. Are there pamphlets inside the booth? Otherwise how are people supposed to refer to it?

WA has been mail-in voting for years, so I vote at home with the pamphlet on the table and a cup of coffee.

I guess this depends on if you think it is abuse to treat women as subservient beings and deny them their voice. But you must really fear smart women to think this is good thing.
Wow. The fact that you did this work, and Adobe didn’t do anything useful with it, indicates that you had some extremely lousy managers and executives above you in the org chart. I’m glad you left, for your sake!
> opponents argue is cruel

I have lived in SF for several years and done a complete 180. The status quo is not “compassionate”, there are people who turn down help. These same individuals quite literally destroy the city. For instance, we have people sleeping and overdosing (dying) in our buildings entryway. The other week, one person defecated and smeared it on our door, lit our awning on fire, and uprooted all the landscaping and burned it. At the same time, people are selling drugs nearby and individuals are literally lined up with backpacks. There is constantly broken glass, feces, and trash spewed everywhere. Something has to change, and again lots of these people are turning down help. Right now the police state they send out the HOT (homeless outreach team) which is basically older individuals who volunteer to distribute pamphlets. If there is a crime, usually no arrest is made if the police are even able to respond. The penalties are often a misdemeanor and a fine, and not showing up to court often only results in more (effectively unenforceable) fines

It’s a fine line between “compassion” and “enabling”.
> so you only get $80k and can't make a cash offer for a new $200k home.

Or if you are buying an $80k property with the proceeds, it is so different than
the sold property - either much smaller or less desirable in some way - that you are buying in what is effectively a different market altogether.
It isn't crab bucket mentality if you have to pay to lift others up.
I'm arguing that I literally do not understand the distinction you're drawing. In my mind, "news", "reporting", and "journalism" encompass all articles written by news organizations about current events. I wasn't fooled into thinking this was a piece of objective journalism, but I did think it's a piece of non-objective journalism, albeit one where I ultimately agree with the author's thesis.

But you seem to be saying it's not journalism at all. So what I'm trying to understand is:

* What is the shape of this "not journalism at all" category? How can I distinguish non-journalism from non-objective journalism or journalism on a topic I don't personally think is important?

* Do news organizations offer any explicit disclaimers that their "non-journalism" has low editorial standards and shouldn't be trusted the same way as their journalism? Or is it just something you have to know?

* Does the average media-literate person know any of this?

Right now I can't answer any of these questions, which makes the entire edifice seem more like a trick than a real distinction. It's not obvious to me why a news organization would want to publish bad articles which don't live up to their journalistic standards in the first place.
I'm fully in agreement with all of your downsides (although ads aren't necessarily a dealbreaker for me).

The pain point for me is that my family/friends circle isn't willing to try and use new software especially stuff that might be custom or have some lack of features.

It took me a year or more to get my dad to send me pictures and videos over FB Messenger instead of SMS (he has an iphone and I have an android). Maybe I just need some new persuasion tactics but the idea of putting energy and time into building a custom app for my family and then dealing with pushback and a reluctance to use it just sounds exhausting to me.

I mentioned “routed” address, e.g. an address that actually appears on the DFZ. 0.0.0.0/8 is not a range that’s assigned to any RIRs by IANA - it’s reserved for special use.

Numbers 1, 4-8, and 11-18, are all Truisms. The rest are not:

"2. Complex systems are heavily and successfully defended against failure"

Many complex systems are weakly defended, sometimes not at all. Sometimes the defense is accidental or incidental. Sometimes they are heavily yet unsuccessfully defended. Never attribute to defense that which can be attributed to purely random chance, ignorance, convenience, and avoidance of responsibility.

"3. Catastrophe requires multiple failures – single point failures are not enough."

Catastrophe definitely can and does happen from single points of failure. It's just that in highly defended systems, multiple failures are common.

"9. Human operators have dual roles: as producers & as defenders against failure."

These can be distinct roles, but in practice that requires extra money, staffing, etc which makes it rare. However, there are systems in which defense becomes its own role, often because the producers suck at it or don't want to do it, or are just really busy.

"10. All practitioner actions are gambles."

On the fence about this one. I would say all practitioner changes are gambles. A practitioner looking at a pressure gauge dial is an action, but it isn't a gamble. Unless the gauge needle sticks, and reading it was a critical action... I suppose you could say all actions are gambles, and changes are much more risky gambles, and non-change actions are likely to be seen as non-risky.

I would say that GTAV is focused on online play. A lot of the content is only accessible that way, ESPECIALLY the content added after launch. If you look through the list of new missions/locations/vehicles added to the game[1], they're almost exclusively only in GTAO

Old TV's had consumable, user-replacible components (the tubes), and were unreliable due to being hand wired.

I don't see the industry moving back to either of those things.

These days, the repairable parts are likely to out last the display anyway. I don't see TV repair becoming common again. I could imagine them encouraging recycling (and local shopping) by adding a "core" fee like they do for lead acid batteries.
The common denominator is hardware, there is something fishy about hardware, some people might have breached it and are able to join what ever hardware they want.

Sounds pretty silly to pick a random thing and say its the culprit huh?

America wants freedom for America above everything else. It's why they engage in subversive and potentially destabilising operations abroad (in order to "protect" their own freedom).

Internally, the situation is not much different (at least from an outsiders perspective). The elite and wealthy effectively using their resources to further the gap between themselves and the lower rungs in the name of profit.

Externally, the propaganda is aimed at distracting from how disruptive they are in other countries affairs (most notable in recent history being the Middle East). Internally, it seems like it's indoctrination into the belief of the inherent superiority of capitalism, and the construction of strawmen to distract from real issues.

Jupiter to Reach Opposition, Closest Approach to Earth in 59 Years
Technically that's only a problem if the value of alcohol as a currency is higher than its value as a good. If it's exactly equal then there's no way to "counterfeit" in the sense you're using the word. A ml of alcohol is worth exactly as much as itself, there's no way to convince someone that you're giving them alcohol that's worth more than it's actually worth. What's possible is that someone might produce impure liquor if it's easier.

Now, giving alcohol as a currency the value of alcohol as a good would mean having to buy, say, computer chips with hundreds or thousands of liters of alcohol. We might need some kind of token that stands for large quantities of alcohol, perhaps redeemable at certain places for the real deal.
That brings to mind Instagram influencers, many who do not explicitly call out they are being paid to influence by certain organizations (in the fashion or luxury market area).

This also brings to mind the movies like ‘the avengers’ which gets lots of military support to drive recruiting.

> I like to ask myself, what if the result were reversed? Would it be reported?

Ask and you will be answered:

The authors also submitted different test studies to different peer-review boards. The methodology was identical, and the variable was that the purported findings either went for, or against, the liberal worldview (for example, one found evidence of discrimination against minority groups, and another found evidence of "reverse discrimination" against straight white males). Despite equal methodological strengths, the studies that went against the liberal worldview were criticized and rejected, and those that went with it were not.

IIRC, some of the WYSE terminals can do Tektronix graphics. AFAIK only DEC ones do ReGIS. Also, oddly enough, the last two generations of DEC serial terminals (the VT 400 and 500 series) dropped graphics support (they kept the 300 line in production for that).

These machines should be extremely inexpensive to make (an 8-bit microcontroller, 68xx or 8032 and barely enough memory to back the display) back then and the high prices they commanded (and that ended up killing them) were very hard to justify in comparison with a PC.

I miss these machines. Smooth scrolling (speed adjusted to keep up with the backlog) should be a thing in modern terminal windows.
The worst part is the link states that the new policy is to always do this in the future.

Eg, no loan repayment for music majors and full repayment for engineers.
LieNA – new lithium extraction method increases ore recovery from ~60% to 90%
TLDR:

> Much of the world’s supply is dissolved in brine, but some is locked into rocks much as aluminum is found in the ore bauxite. Australia supplies 60% of the lithium extracted from an ore called spodomene. According to Mining Weekly, current extraction techniques only recover between 50% to 70% of the metal using a process that is highly energy intensive.

> Recently, Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organization has joined forces with Lithium Australia to develop a new technology that is able to extract up to 95% of the lithium available in the spodomene ore. It can also squeeze more out of the waste left behind by the conventional extraction process.

> The new process, called LieNA, eliminates the need for high temperature processing, thereby reducing energy costs. Patented by Lithium Australia, the LieNA technology involves an initial treatment with caustics under autoclave conditions to form a synthetic lithium sodalite. The metal is then easily extracted and purified into lithium phosphate. From there, it can be directly used in the manufacture of LFP batteries.’

If Australia successfully deploys this domestically, they may no longer need to ship their lithium to China for processing and could sell it directly to battery makers and other end users instead. Could be a boon for Australia’s economy.
The opening can be a sequence of 20-30 moves long, which includes what most amateurs consider the middle game.

I think that’s what Magnus is saying is that if you play by the book you go from opening to end game without much creativity or challenge.

So, the top “creative” players will try to go off script to make their top “book smart” opponents have to think on the fly.
Eventually, someone will re-invent BASIC ... but with a different name in order to avoid all the social stigma and baggage.

Russia is fascist by assimilation (in contrast to the Third Reich which was fascist by exclusion). As in, you either call yourself russian or get marginalized. It's so pervasive that people stopped noticing it. There are 200 ethnicities, yet all the federal websites are only in russian and maybe english.

This is why Putin has this fetish for "Ukraine is not a country / we are the same people" narrative.
Taking all the shielding off those chips is probably what destroyed the board. Without doing that though, these images would just have all the chips covered by shielding metals/alloys.

18 year olds. We don't consider them responsible enough to drink alcohol, yet we expect them to take on crippling amounts of life-long debt? We shouldn't. It's setting them, and society at large, for failure just to make a few quick bucks.

> And now, those same people see that others get benefits from not acting with the same responsibility.

For very different amounts of money. People who went to college 20 years ago paid less than half than folks who just graduated. 10 years ago was 75% of today. A lot of people are ignoring this fact.

Society is about helping everyone, not just a few individuals who an individual deems as "responsible".

When I think about it, chess is a game where accusations of cheating are regular. Most recently there is the Neimann scandal. There was a lot of cheating accusations for Kramnik vs Topalov as I recall. Kramnik was accused of using Fritz (predecessor to today's stronger engines), and Topalov's manager was doing statistical analysis of Kramnik's move choice and the engine's. When Kasparov lost to Deep Blue, he was very salty and accused IBM of cheating. And those are only a sampling of modern examples. It's hardly a game of cold objective analysis. They've got a lot of emotions these chess players, which makes sense. It gives me solace when I get overly wrought / emotional around my own intellectual pursuits.
When you say those who paid everything off have an unchanged situation when compared to people who didn't and instead got the subsidy... What precisely do you mean? If money is fungible then the person who didn't pay their debt off and was given an extra $10,000 now has more money than the person who did spend their own money to pay off their debt? This is incontrovertible, right?
I still don't really get it. All breathing is caused by the contraction of the diaphragm, with some help from the intercostals.

There seems to be something going on with the shoulders: "chest breathing" raises them, but I don't know why, or what effect that has.

In the end, why does it matter? The goal is to get oxygen to the alveoli, and that happens either way. Most people are walking around with fully O2-saturated blood. If anything, the book "Breath" suggests that's the problem: we're all breathing too deeply, and we should be learning to tolerate lower O2 sat and higher carbonic acid levels.

I mentioned the theory to a pulmonary doctor, who hadn't read the book but clearly thought it was bullshit, at least from my thirdhand description.

I try the 4-7-8 thing on occasion, and don't notice anything much beyond the basic calming of focusing on the breath. I feel like there are gaps in my knowledge here, and there may be something to it but it doesn't make physiological sense to me (and the "mystic" interpretations of it are entirely unedifying).
I have to admit that I got GTA V for free. But still even if I had paid the full price I would have been entirely happy with the single player story line.

I will likely buy next GTA on launch if it launches at same time on PC as consoles.
The Best of SketchUp (2019)
This was a really interesting incident. There is a ton of plagiarism on Quora, the vast majority of it incredibly obvious. It doesn't address the question and looks as if it were addressed to a different target audience. A momentary Google search turns up the source. (Often, it's plagiarized directly from Wikipedia, without even editing out the footnote links.)

This was something different. It would have been easy to spot that this person was plagiarizing their text, if it had occurred to you to look for it. But they were writing both the question and the answer, and the answers seemed to actually address the question. They were scholarly and well-written, and didn't set off the same alarms that the vast majority of plagiarism does.

It's surprising that more people didn't think to check earlier. If nothing else, the questions seemed off; nobody would think to ask questions like that for which this guy always had exactly the right answer. The accounts asking them were new, so it smelled of sock-puppet.

It was propped up by a fair number of real historians who didn't seem to think anything was off, and that caused a web-of-trust failure. Individuals who might have smelled a rat were lulled by the informed people holding intelligent conversations in the comments, distracting from the suspicious source.

Once somebody thought to inquire, it was obvious. And the whole thing seems unique: it took more intelligence and thought to pull this off than most plagiarists put into it. This has not been repeated -- as far as anybody can tell.
I’m not sure I care much about repairability. For me, makers should have the freedom to design products as they wish. I don’t think that phones and laptops would be as light and portable as iPhones and Macs are if Apple was inhibited by the Right to Repair movement from arranging internal components in such a jampacked way.

I also think that makers should have the freedom to design computers whose software tightly integrate with the hardware. Repairing a broken part with a third-party is exactly the opposite of tight integration. If people didn’t want tight integration, then products that are built specifically for tight integration are just not the right tool for the job that they want to do, and I don’t understand why they can’t simply choose not to buy the product. It’s not like the phone and computer markets are monopolies either. Androids and PCs of all form factors and OSes exist.

It would make more sense to me to call for regulation against pricing abuse for the repairs of tightly integrated products. The Right to Repair movement as it stands just doesn’t resonate much with me, nor do I agree with it, because integrated products that come with everything you need make for great user experiences.
