This is what is kind of keeping me back from going electric. My current condo building (in Toronto) does have chargers on the first parking level, but each time I drive past them, they are taken. Dealing with that sounds annoying.

Across the pond, in Belgium, there is now a push for companies to offer electric cars as part of the compensation package, some friends have placed their first EV "order". Because of this, companies are installing chargers around the office. I'd instantly opt-in for that. (Although in Belgium I think it's mandatory now, so wouldn't even have a choice. But someone still living/working there can correct me on that).

That would be the correct answer. The ad-companies are auction based, so they shouldn't have any problem with it.

But somehow, people report differently. (Personally, I haven't looked for a while, so I don't know.)
The shame here is on my country, Canada, for not putting a stop to this as much as the UK.

Why are we granting logging licenses to foreign companies that will simply burn the wood? Because the logging industry is huge money for British Columbia. Because "jobs" and "the economy" and a dozen other reasons that boil down to "we really like the money we get paid for it".

Hey, we didn't harm the climate because we didn't burn the pellets! And the UK didn't harm the climate because they didn't cut down any trees! Everyone wins, and also we get handed a bunch of money.
The objective listed makes no mention of what this project _actually is_ - infuriating.
There are a lot of unstated or untested assumptions in the article.

There are many categories of drug users, not just "addicts" and "party" people.

Some people have chronic pain issues and are subject to medically-imposed restrictions on their consumption of lawful drugs -- to the point where they seek out illegal "drugs" hoping to get something to alleviate their pain.

Some people are self-medicating other issues than addiction -- like anxiety. Maybe not a good idea from your point of view and mine, but there they are.

(I put "drugs" in quotes because they aren't really -- they are powders and pills sold with fraudulent claims they might contain the substances desired by the customer. And, perhaps, not contain poisons or toxic overdoses.)

Few street drugs contain what is advertised -- the Vancouver market is stuck with variable mixes of meth, oxy, sugar, fentanyl, methadone, occasionally some actual heroin, cocaine, benzodiazepine, even carfentanil.

Steet buyers receive the same crap regardless of what they want. It's a serious game of russian roulette when ingesting this stuff. Nalaxone is a common upsell for street "drugs" -- buy your stuff and your opioid antagonist in case the stuff is poison. (Nalaxone is free in BC).

Harm Reduction is a difficult proposition when governments have decades-old policies and international treaties enforcing prohibition. Putting addicts on lawful drugs draws easy political fire ("subsidizing fiends"). And how does a pharmaceutical company even get close to trying to develop and market a "smokable" lawful opioid (because that is what the customers want)?

Over 10,000 dead people in British Columbia (population about 5 million) due to opioid overdoses. Since 2016.

Wait a second, those micro-chips end in the cut food pieces, right? How "micro" are those and how much of those are made on average in a cutting session? I am pretty sure that steel dust, starting from some size of specks and general amount of it, is not very healthy for internal consumption so I'd like to learn more.
Trees in BC's old growth forests are not your backyard's trees. They're millennial gigantic old giants. Since they're gigantic, they're a prime product for lumber, and they've been decimated in the past 100 years. Growing these forests back will take thousands of years.

The person you’re replying to is a paramedic who claims to have actively stopped people from overdosing. I think they have a pretty good idea of how damaging it can be.

Because selling the logging licenses and then shaming the companies into not using them would allow them to have their cake and eat it, too.
In context, one would expect “better than” to refer to autistic children without imaginary friends, simply because deficits in social skills are a defining feature of autism.

More than just "staying put" at a company. All the recruiters I've dealt with are struggling because nobody literally wants to relocate anymore. Housing is insanely expensive nationwide, couple that with economic uncertainty and you have even more risk to take when moving.

In my industry, defense contractors are absolutely beyond desperate now. They spent decades moving their facilities to from very well populated suburbs of big cities out to low tax areas....in bumfuck nowhere and they more or less could force the boomer generation individuals to move there. Now, especially post COVID, they can't find anyone willing to sacrifice their quality of life anymore. To the point they have been opening up some jobs that can be as remote for security clearance jobs. Though I've heard of at least Boeing bait and switching individuals hard out of desperation.
How much would e.g. an iPhone 14 be in percentage terms of typical middle class income in Turkey? Just to give us an idea of typical electronics that we often take for granted.
You can google 'Intel Slava Z' telegram channel and join it to access such stuff. Its one of the larger slavic intelligence channels. There are others too.

Such stuff wouldnt be in mass media ever because first, it reduces the competition chances of US armament makers, and second, its something that Iran did, who is obviously evil according to such corporate Angloamerican media like the Politico.

I have to add, following anything from such mainstream corporate Anglosaxon sources is as foolish as it was back in 2003. Back in 2003, there was more effort on the part of the establishment and the corporate media to keep a degree of reliability and trustworthiness. Today, its just emotional manipulation.
> What do you mean by "better"?

I believe the OP is referring to e.g. Salieri vs. Mozart.
I have a similar question.

I am running a FOSS community in my local language.
And we have a contest where we pay the best 5 articles in our forums every month.

We would like to market our contest but how can one market their website without supporting bigtech?(keep in mind, not in English)

> hate and violence are also active and ongoing

> You can’t forgive someone for transgressions they’re determined to continue

My understanding is that hate and violence in the last few decades have been steadily declining. At the same time, self-reported perception of those has been increasing since ~2014.

Maybe there's eluding racism we can all feel but cannot measure.

Or maybe a side effect of changes to social network recommendation algorithms is that we're now building echo chambers and polarizing people.

Today there's less hate, but more talk about it. And drastic measures aimed to decrease it have a high likelihood of changing the trend.
At one time, hotels didn't offer free (or any) Wi-Fi, and now it's basically standard even at the bargain basement cheapo motels. As the market demands a feature, it will eventually come. I think time will ultimately solve the EV charging issue in many apartment complexes, multi-family homes, townhouses, and other types of residential areas as that feature gets more demanded. Property management companies are particularly cheap and unintelligent bastards, so the change might be slow, but it will eventually get there if the demand exists. For local driving needs, slow overnight charging should be a workable solution for many.

What I don't think is easily workable with mass-adoption of EVs is the following.

> Long Distance travel. EVs sort of almost work for a handful of people doing long drives even when it's slower than just filling a gas tank. But when the number of cars on the road exceeds charger throughput, the delays are going to compound. The proverbial family roadtrip is going to suck a lot when you show up at a charging place and there's a line of EVs waiting for the charger and your kids are crying.

> Dense cities. It's hard to see how EVs can work in denser cities where they theoretically could do the most good. In places like NYC, many buildings don't offer any parking spaces whatsoever to install chargers at. Instead, people park on the street wherever they can find a semi-legal parking spot. Are cities going to dig up all roads/sidewalks and put EV chargers literally everywhere? That's the the only thing that would make EVs theoretically feasible for an average family in a city.

Very impressive technically, but what are the practical use cases for this? We have IndexedDB and WebSQL, so apart from the other comments mentioning using it in tutorials, I'm not sure what the value add is.

> Google and the other major players are reluctant to do that because it's much, much harder to do a server side integration solution without compromising user privacy by handing the third party owning that server a lot of intimate knowledge about the ads being served to a customer.

They might be able to address this by flipping things around. Instead of the ad service providing ads to the content provider for the content provider to them embed in the content and server, have the content provider provide content to the ad service which then puts in the ads and serves the content.

Let's say content provider foo.com wants ads from Google. One way this could be done is for foo.com to organize their site so that any pages they want ads on come from content.foo.com. They would set content.foo.com to point to a server run by Google. That server would provide a way for foo.com to put their content there, with some mechanism for Google to do the ad integration and then serve the pages.

Yeah, it's a question of expectations. Lots of people like to decry the "failure" of democracy or of a particular democracy and it's really just a failure to live up to the incredibly lofty expectations we've set. The political dysfunction we see in America or Britain today may seem worse than it used to be, but in a historical frame of reference we're still functioning pretty close to the peak of human accomplishment.

If we go by Ukraine's claims, they should have been at the gates of Moscow at this point. So, just forget that.

You don't seem to be aware that even if we trusted that number from Ukraine itself, it would still qualify as a majestic performance since the drones are dirt cheap.

The actual videos from the front tell a different story.
Because old growth is also the most desirable wood and therefore valuable, and money is more important than literally anything else in the history of everything?

Without a reference to the specific study, it’s impossible to answer. You may just have witnessed (the 90s TV equivalent of) a clickbait style piece. Misrepresenting research, whether due to misunderstanding or deliberately, happens all the time.

It sounds like you didn’t personally look into the research in question, but you’re repeating a claim about it as though it were fact. That’s why this kind of misinformation is so prevalent.
Assuming that would be wrong. I use iOS and block ads agggressively.
>The flu shot is an exceptionally poor-performing vaccine and the Covid vaccines are similarly bad or even worse. Especially the side effects are bad compared to other vaccines.

I have a suspicion that every vaccine ever created was poor performing ( yes, I'm an anti-vaxxer if you wish). The flu happens so frequently that most ordinary people can anecdotally compute it's (in) effectiveness. This is less true for the less frequent diseases where the vaccine can always take credit for the non-existence of the disease, And when the disease popups occasionally (clueless) people are told that it would have be far more serious had the shot not being taken. If the rare disease did show up in large numbers, people are told that it's different strain. My point being with so many variables it's difficult to credit the vaccine for its effectiveness.

But if one steps aside and looks at the financial/scientific motives for pushing a vaccine (sunken cost fallacy), the vaccine's supposed effectiveness not matching ground reality becomes clear.

*sunken cost fallacy= we have spent billions and 5 years of research, and have not effective vaccine to show, what do we do?

Weird. I'm fairly certain you're exactly wrong. This requires getting into the weeds of the tech, but in summary:

Bitcoin is the Model T or the grey brick cellphone of crypto. On one hand, it's the proof of concept that proves the thing can work, and thus changes tech forever. But also, it won't be "the thing" because its tech is inferior to what comes next, and I think it's smarter to bet on the quality of the tech than anything else.

I'm not sure if Ethereum is the next thing, though it's a strong contender. I am nearly certain that bitcoin eventually will not be "the thing;" especially given that the whole point of most crypto is fungibility.

You're commiting the sin of assuming your workload is representative of everyone else's.

A little bit of searching shows no documented evidence of fentanyl mixed with weed.

The supposed reason is dealers trying to get their weed users addicted, but that doesn't make a ton of sense as they'd have to either fess up or be the only weed dealer someone knows.

Plus, I'm not positive the temperature of burning marijuana would do anything to fentanyl or if the temps would destroy it.
> Trying to become yourself

That sums up the thread for me. It's a noble goal, thank you for the reminder. Being an artist, a human being, is not about competing with others as to who is better, it's about becoming truly and deeply yourself.

Recently I wrote down the following, from an eulogy by Conan O'Brien about an advice he got from a respected elder.

"Be yourself. That's the only way it can work." - Johnny Carson
Non-California resident.

I have a hunch that this is what is going to slow EV adoption. I could be wrong, but I don't see this changing since the incentives aren't directly linked. Apartments can easily find other residents. Condo associations have to subsidize a few residents.

I can't fathom having an EV currently. Charging at home is a must.
>We have [...] WebSQL

Not any more - iirc it was depreciated.

In the case of IndexedDB, I haven't looked into it, but Mozilla has the following to say about it:

>Note: IndexedDB API is powerful, but may seem too complicated for simple cases. If you'd prefer a simple API, try libraries in See also section that make IndexedDB more programmer-friendly.[0]

I suppose this project could make development easier by allowing developers to share server-side code? And it has the benefit of already having a large userbase.

Compare that to the way new circulating currency is created in fiat systems and I think you'll change your mind. All fiat system create new currency through chartered banks creating loans from reserves they don't have. There are only ~4500 chartered banks in the USA. That means all new currency is given to 4500 corporations and those corporations choose how to distribute it.

This is a massively corrupt and unfair system. It's signficantly worse and more centralized than the way Bitcoin distributes new currency. At least with bitcoin actual humans get actual currency. In fiat actual human persons only get debt that mathematically can never be fully paid back. Unfortunately it's still the least worst way to run a "modern economy".

Actually Red-Hat was the first Linux vendor to acknowledge there is no money to be made in the Linux desktop, so what they do is to keep the basic infrastructure of a UNIX desktop going.

It was this pivot move that allowed them to be were they are in the world of Linux distributions taking over big iron UNIX on the server room.

And now Red-Hat is basically owned by the same vendor as AIX, z/OS and i.

The site can generate any sequence of text from its alphabet of 29 characters. This means it contains 29^3200 different works.

Let N = log(29)/log(2).

It is not possible to create a compression system where each work on average will use less than N*3200 bits once compressed, assuming each compressed value corresponds to only one work. This stems directly from the pigeonhole principle.
What could be possible is to create a compression scheme where say pages consisting of english text can be compressed to smaller (at the expense of pages of random garbage being compressed to longer).

This stems from the fact that the entropy (information density) of English text is much lower the 29 character alphabet space can permit. But you cannot on average have the valid English only pages compress to smaller than their entropy either. You can design the system to favor some works over others, but the average compressed length must be equal to or greater than the average entropy of the works.

And all you have really done here is invent a weird lookuptable table based compression scheme for english text. All other compression systems are also similarly constrained by the entropy of the data to be compressed, but most other scheme don't require an infeasible large lookup table of basically every possible output.
Seeing this pattern come up so many times, working with the most extreme elements of a country, it appears deliberate. I imagine we picked it up from the British, and other imperial powers.
