I wouldn't impose mandatory retirement age on congressmen, but think there should be a age limit for the presidency and committee chairs. I think this is not particularly controversial.

What people hate but I strongly believe in is that we should pay people a stipend to run for office. And we should pay congressmen and senators more than we do. And give them a full years salary when they leave office. Seriously guys producing webshit for FANNG companies are making more than their congressman.
Google public transport directions show me it's 2x as slower than cars, but 4x faster than walking from the airport to Sargada Familia.

In my city in Romania, public transport is about the same speed as walking. So I'd say Barcelona has great public transport, based on this limited analysis.

Hence, citations neede. What exactly was bad? Did you only try driving?
They are also no longer grandfathering the longest supporting users like me (back when it was Google music) that have been paying $14.99 for the family plan.

Instead they are giving me an extra few months before charging me the new price.

So much for loyalty. Nothing stops me now from switching to another service but at this point I think I will be digging out my pirate hat from the ship wreck...

After setting my webcam to a fixed focus distance, I can scan UPC (well EAN-13) barcodes incredibly quickly and reliably.
That's still a few rungs up from the older skool tech of a large round table top with the different gauges for things like temp/pressure/humidity/etc on it that rotated at a set speed with a stationary camera mount so that the gauges would spin underneath it. For a lot of small cable companies this was the "weather" for that cable company. It would be setup at the head end where all of the various satellite dishes were pulling the feeds. An ex-coworker's family was responsible for that existing, so I used to hear all sorts of "back in the day" themed stories about it.
I assume you are talking about L'Eixample. That's the original design of that specific neighborhood and have nothing to do with the superblocks thing.
God I miss the sense that a company is trying to sell me exactly what I want to buy. I used to get it so often in the early 2000s.
Uhm, Barcelona has superb public transport. I would take train and metro in Barcelona over driving in...anywhere because driving in cities sucks.

I'd imagine it's not uncommon for bite marks to be at least one piece of evidence. Victim struggles, bites assailant, cops arrest somebody with a bite mark, suspect insists it's from some fun times with their SO and not from a victim defending themselves, cops call upon their pseudoscientists to "prove" that the bite mark came from the victim. Or another way around, a victim of a violent assault might have been bit while fighting off their attacker. In a grappling scenario, there is definitely a portion of the population who will instinctively use their teeth, from my experience in water polo, I'd reckon about a quarter of people.

This is polling data. You have to read the question. In this CNBC poll[1], the question was "which party do you want to control Congress?" and the Republicans came out ahead.

In this[2] Harvard poll, the question was "would you be more likely to vote for a Republican or a Democrat in the midterm" and it was a 50/50 tie.

Generally, I think OP's conclusion is correct. There is a tendency in this bubble to assume that the GOP is dead and unsupported, but that is not the case.

There was an HBO documentary series named Autopsy[0] I watched back in the 90s and two crimes stick out. The series mainly followed the case file of a Forensic Pathologist named Dr. Michael Baden.

If I can remember them correctly, one case was a murder that appeared as a break-in and a bite marking found on a garbage bag was tied back to the victim. The other was an inmate that left bite marks on a guard and tied the crime back to the inmate with.

It’s so interesting to see this research now and wonder what would come of those cases now that the main evidence is seemingly unreliable.

I fully agree with you. I pay for the family plan which will be going up nearly 40%! The content is all user produced, other than the random 'free' movies that have started popping up. I don't like yt music that comes along with the subscription. I just don't see how they can charge this much.
Longitudinal analysis of sentiment and emotion in news media headlines
My friends at Stripe are calling it a shadow layoff.

> In late June, as a last-minute addition to its midyear performance reviews, Stripe managers in departments ranging from engineering to marketing were asked to rate their employees on whether they would rehire them. The multiple-choice answers ranged from phrases like “yes, they’re among the best I’ve ever worked with” to “probably wouldn’t rehire” and “definitely wouldn’t rehire.”

That question alone is a red flag. Forbes claims to have interviewed 10+ folks; it mirrors the word on the street. Stripe overhired and now they need to downsize.
I don't personally use TikTok, but I'm not sure that I'd care much if they know that I like to watch videos about pottery or gaming or whatever. Google / YouTube certainly knows already.

Scramble intersections can fix this. Let all pedestrians in every direction go first, then coordinate cars, then back to pedestrians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_scramble

And I thought 2nd paragraph from Wikipedia offers an interesting insight on cultural priorities:

> It was first used in Canada and the United States in the late 1940s, but it later fell out of favor with traffic engineers there, as it was seen as prioritizing flow of pedestrians over flow of car traffic. Its benefits for pedestrian amenity and safety have led to new examples being installed in many countries in recent years

Hans Niemann sues Carlsen and others for $100M over chess cheating allegations
I worked for a company that made nanometer precise stages and robotic hardware for the semiconductor, microscopy and metrology industries. We made stuff that was so precise that we had to pause our testing twice a day when the train would go by 1/4 of a mile away because we'd see the vibration in our tests.

The owner got a "special" deal from our machine tool supplier for a "open box" milling machine. It was normally a 500k 5 axis large volume milling machine with extremely high precision, at least that's what we were told.

After buying it, installing it, andd trying to use our laser interferometer on it we discovered it was not even close to its stated accuracy, and in fact wasn't even as accurate as a basic mill. It couldn't make parts that were worth a damn.

After a bunch of back and forth, it turns out that this specific mill was a trade show demo unit, it had been taken around the country and and setup in conference centers to show. Somewhere along the way it was also crashed (when you accidentally run an axis, or several, into things your not supposed to). They neglected to tell us any of this before we bought it.

The founder/owner of that company was a real piece of work - so I suspect this has more to do with karma than anything.
It's essentially a car free zone but residents can own a car and get out of the area. As an outsider the space is not accessible by car. Which is really how it should be. We might not have the whole country hooked up to amazing public transport, but we don't need to provide car access to every single space.
It is more a bad large-scale societal outcome that many are worried about. It is a massive CCP-linked propaganda organ; even if content is generated by users, the way in which it is surfaced and promoted is entirely controlled by ByteDance (-> CCP). Furthermore, all sorts of social engineering, spear phishing, and blackmail by a potentially-hostile foreign government are made possible.

But if you want something to worry about as an individual, consider China's increasing global reach and whether the CCP could at any point use their massive reach to systematically make life less pleasant for you if you express views contrary to the party's.
The functionality you describe in "Handover" is achieved (and more besides, such as playback control) on Linux with KDE Connect.
But that's not "discouraged by the system UX" and what better way to get people to use f-droid than offering incentives to use it? Like your favorite app having better features when installed from there?
> Chess will be replaced with an acting and subterfuge competition.

Which sort of prompts the question: Why isn't there a "World Chess Cheating Championship"?

The competitors would be given the chance to either demonstrate a type of cheating, or demonstrate a counter-measure, and then judges would be able to organise rigorous tests that paired the methods off against each other.

One sort of test that would be interesting to try is to have a GM who is able to receive a one-bit signal from an accomplice once per game (the much-discussed "this is an important move, think carefully" signal), and then statisticians should try to pick that game (or some set of such games) out of a sea of non-cheating games.

Basically I think that the chess community shouldn't take any "security measures" by event organisers at face value. Without red-teaming, any such measures are just security theatre.

Some people just don't care about this bigger picture. They aren't a direct target and they are already apart of so many mass analytics models that it just doesn't seem to matter anymore. It's a jaded side effect of a sleazy business model that's become pretty common.

I won't use it and have no interest in it. It just seems like another noisy app filled with misinformation but also poses a real risk at a geopolitical scale. But on the other hand, I get why people just want to connect with other humans and see a skateboarding dog.
You get downvoted by Sino-Russian bots. In real life people won't disagree with your point to the same extent as you would see online.
Full quote translated:

FTR, “The ass exist, but no word for it” string mentioned from old Russian kids funny song[1,2] about censorship in USSR, which also refers to catchphrase "There is no sex in USSR"[3]:

Also DJI app that requires GPS lock in and internet connection to operate drones owned by hundreds of thousands of US citizens. Hell, even something off brand from the back streets of Guangdong, something like a Yawei dashcam app wants 1) Location access 2) Contacts and 3) Photos app access. So it can “geo tag your friends in a car’s dashcam stream and bluetooth it to your photos library”.

The cat is out of the box. It must be resolved through a cat exterminator at the highest levels of Gov, forcing Apple and Google to delist this stuff.

Even the best and highly educated citizenry is not immune to this; let alone the rest of USA and the west. Micro actions from individuals wouldn’t be sufficient. No harm meant to cats or any of our furry friends.

All the surveys are only of "likely voters". People who live in heavily gerrymandered districts tend to say "I'm not planning on voting". Also a lot of younger people who generally support Democrats aren't even included in the surveys.

I think the real threat is the already dire state of American faith in its own governmental system. The issue is not that the congress people are in a position to act on insider information. It's that they're in a position to make moves, then enact policies that make those moves more lucrative.

Consider the extreme: a congress person shorts a stock because they know a downturn is coming, then they enact policies that prolong the downturn and in turn increase their windfall.
I don’t get how these things don’t catch more attention outside the tech community.

Back in the day Snowden basically gave up his life to expose the same horrific crimes against humanity committed by the NSA. Now it’s the Chinese, an enemy to the U.S. and still no one does anything.

Even worse, pop culture glorifies the starlets produced by the app. Bottom of the barrel stupid content gets shoved in our kids faces and people just ignore all the issues at hand.

As I said in the other comment, maybe people though that "cloud computing" is a different paradigm back in the 70's but it turns out that no, it's all the same distributed stuff.

If you have two processes on same machine, locking a shared data structure takes microseconds. You can easily update hundreds of shared maps and still provide great performance to user.

If you have datacenters in NY and Frankfurt, the ping is 90mS and fundamental speed of light limit say it will never be below 40mS.

So "lock a shared data structure" is completely out of the question, you need a different consistency model, remote-aware algorithms, local caches, and so on.

There are people who are continuously trying to replace Unix with completely new paradigms, like Unison [0].. but it is not really catching up, and I don't think it ever will. Physics is tough.

Facebook is more legally scrutinised by almost every concern out there. These replies are not reflective of the legal policies and measures taken in the west against Facebook.

Housing code is quite insane in Florida. One of the YTbers I follow bought a house with small garage that had roof extending over bigger foundation. Plan was to just add walls to the existing roof. 3 contractors later he resigned to tearing it all down and building new one because just putting walls over already roofed concrete pour would be more expensive due to all the upgrades and inspections required to the old garage.
I feel like the workflow that happens when you click "flag" in social networks has become ossified according to " Content Guidelines" in the same way that Level-1 CSR scripts are ossified. To actually get one-off (rather than rule-based) evaluation of a problem, you need your report to not come in from that direction, but from some other side-channel, e.g. a viral tweet complaining about the problem.
This is a great step. Subscriptions errode first sale protections by subscription-gating physical objects, allowing OEMs a work-around to first-sale doctrine. If you buy something, you should own it, and be able to fix it, scrap it, re-sell it, whatever you want.

It's interesting NJ included self-driving in the subscription ban. These require significant overhead in compute, engineering resources and greatly impact safety, and if Tesla's pricing is any indication of overall market, FSD will cost a pretty penny.

If full self-driving was offered at 10k up front for the life of the car, or $80/mo, I would imagine many buyers of lower-end vehicles would prefer a subscription.

Most road safety problems boil down to too many cars. The US & Canada aren't interested in changing that though. In the US we have 40k road deaths/year baked into the culture.

Public transport is not horrible, but sure you can have other alternative forms of transportation like bicycles, scooters, long boards, segways, horses, etc... The cities that permit non-car modes of transport are nicer to visit and live in.

I think in theory I agree with you. I would _prefer_ private transportation, but if I was stuck between private car and public transit, I would pick public transit because the alternative of sitting in a car commuting every day is dreadful compared to the few thousand steps I could get from walking to/from public transit.
Its polling data, not an actual vote.

According to this CNBC poll[1], on the question of "party preference to control Congress", the Republicans come out ahead. Its close, but hardly the landslide Democrat victory you would expect if nobody supports the GOP.

I would recommend you take another look at the polling data[2]. It might help pop some bubbles.

The integration with Fusion is pretty clumsy at the moment. It's not clear what timeline event you're working on when you're on the Fusion page, especially when you have several video tracks stacked at the playhead's location. It disregards the user-selected event (if one has been selected) and instead shows (IIRC) the topmost one instead.
Hmm. What about storage, delivery, returns, etc.? Quote from your source: "Now, I think they’ve underestimated the costs of shipping and warehousing books, and the tremendous cost of accepting returns (for full credit) of unsold books by bookstores — sometimes paying for return shipping, sometimes having the books simply destroyed, and other times selling them in bargain bins for a fraction of the cover price."
In agreement with you, it's amazing how much we scrutinize our very own Mark Zuckerberg for this, while giving TikTok a free pass for at least the same level of atrocities (but highly likely even worse things). Why?

If you're using the CDN by default it won't cache dynamic URLs. I'm 99% sure it will cache static .json files though, if that can work for you.

You can also create "page rules" using wildcards to cache dynamic URLs. Eg: /api/*

Another option is to use Workers to fetch from origin and interact with the cache with more control.
