What I want more than a car-less city, is a city that properly separates out walkability from drivability. Use the superblock approach, but mandate all buildings have to be the same height and are connected to a public skyway network like so: https://i.imgur.com/hYGpQp4.png

You can make these roofs a proper public space rather than just being unused as they are today, and you don't have to worry about crosswalks / mixed pedestrian + car usage for roads.
> devoid of AI

I guess that depends on what you consider AI. In his example of "good weather -> more BBQ stuff", of course that might be some particular hardcoded rule that occurred to a human at some point, but it's far more likely that datamining identified that particular correlation, and many others (like the famous example of the grocery store that started stocking beer next to diapers when data mining discovered that beer and diapers were often bought together).
I’m surprised that this even needed a study, which also makes it rather alarming.

> I've read that the PCEngines struggles to keep up with network traffic in excess of 100Mb/s.

For reference, quick iperf3 TCP tests on my APU2 (cpu[0123]: AMD GX-412TC SOC, 998.27 MHz; em[0123] at pci[1234] dev 0 function 0 "Intel I211" rev 0x03):

LAN host <-> APU: ~410 Mbps

LAN host <-> APU (over WireGuard): ~140 Mbps

However, I've put em[123] together as a veb(4) switch without pf involvement and two LAN hosts will get almost the full gigabit between them over that. Would need something bigger if I had a faster uplink or more complex LAN requirements.

We went down the Openstack path long ago.. but ended up choosing Triton DataCenter. The simplicity in operational support is just amazing. We’ve since acquired the commercial support business from Joyent this year for Triton.

Triton is much simpler to operate, manage and support - and we’ve never looked back!
There was a Strong Towns article recently with a similar exploration. Their proposal was that this is actually an economically viable approach for developers to rebuild an entire block.

Well they explicitly use the term SRE and not DevOps and I think that's very intentional and related the gist of the article. DevOps was never meant to be a role played by a person or a team. It's meant to reflect aligned incentives of dev and ops. Whether you have an SRE team or a platform team or a bunch of kitchen sink teams.
>When I read cases like these, I feel like maybe the Republicans _are_ on to something: the government has become too big.

States like Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Kentucky etc. are absolutely not immune to corruption, I assure you.

Small-government Republicanism hasn't truly existed in decades.

However, that's not to diminish blame from cities like NY, Chicago, LA, SF. They need to get their flipping act together.
Multi hop makes traffic analysis harder, but I wouldn't use the VPN provider's multi-hop feature, instead I do my own. So the first hop would be Mullvad, then the second hop would be ProtonVPN. There is a small performance penalty for doing this, but it's tolerable.
People choose their vehicles for both functional purposes and sociocultural purposes. In somewhere like Manilla, a motorcycle has net positive functional utility since it is cheap, can park easily, and cut through traffic. In somewhere like Houston (where the study was authored), a motorcycle has net negative functional utility, given the humidity, rain, ample parking, and lack of lane splitting. That means riding is done for sociocultural purposes: to signal who you are by how you move about. For someone who is riding mainly for this reason, will they adopt a new light pattern, especially if it means adding a lamp to their head?
There are more options than that, and I see your point.

To take the contrarian stance though: SSO not being paid is kinda nice, and not having yet another password for something is nice. —- double and: then not being able to leak a password or handle 2FA, instead focusing on their actual product.

The name of this fallacy is "kettle logic".
Do you think facts cannot be used as propaganda...?
There are many contexts in healthcare where it's considered socially acceptable not to be strictly honest and accurate.

Psych drugs commonly say, or used to say, in the info leaflets something like they "correct imbalances of certain chemicals in the brain".

This is completely made up, and apart from the vagueness, obviously not reasonable when you consider that such drugs usually take a considerable amount of time to have their full effect.

But it's a customary "white lie" (or rather a fiction) to try to sooth patients and keep them confidently on meds. It's not a big secret, or a scandal, but an attempt to manipulate hopefully trusting people for their own good.

As another example of the dynamic, doctors treat patients who are inevitably going to die in the near future, and if they sense the patient is still holding out hope and still wants treatment, they will probably avoid accurately communicating the reality, the number of weeks or days left, and instead say things about progress and remission until the end.

I don't know what context "the gene" for bipolar disorder came up in, but could it possibly be that your family member was obsessed with "the gene" and the doctor humored them? You've heard of sugar pills?
I still run Ubuntu (actually Kubuntu) on one of my XPS laptops, where it actually runs great, but I'm slowly switching over to Void for my desktop/laptops, which I've been running on my servers for years; it does take more time to install (especially with RAID) but is so much nicer and simpler to deal with once installed (without systemd or snaps).

Void is kinda like what Debian used to be -- rough around the edges but really a great distribution once it's up and running.
> OpenRCT2 requires the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game files
Probably OK, but access it from Electron (let alone fully-native apps) and now you may not technically not be OK anymore—is that functionally equivalent to a web browser? Hard to say. And much of the benefit of web APIs, versus just serving pages and HTML fragments, is being able to serve those kinds of heterogenous clients, or to allow access to 3rd parties, and who knows what they might use to access it, so... yeah, you can push low-usefulness (browser-only, first-party-use-only) web APIs through Cloudflare and you're likely in the clear, but go beyond that and it gets murky fast.

And even then, the web API thing is subject to the rest of the restrictions in that same section ("serving web APIs subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.8") so "serving video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other non-HTML content is prohibited" (emphasis mine) meaning that if too much of your traffic is JSON or protobufs or what have you, they could send you a nastygram or simply cut you off, though they might choose not to.

Personally, I'd not rely on Cloudflare's free or $20 plans past MVP/experimentation or hobbyist use, precisely because the terms are restrictive and vague. Too risky. Then again, what can you expect for nothing-to-peanuts prices?
That's not something you should be doing anyway. It's not a useful thing to talk about and doesn't even work for all languages.

If you are writing some software that requires counting the number of characters in a string you should stop and rethink why you're trying to do what you're doing.
So noted, but I suppose you'll define which movies are great and which ones don't count? TikTok's popularity demonstrates a demand for vertical video, despite how much you don't want there to be, simply because that's how people are viewing video - on their smartphone. Even Netflix is doing vertical video clips for previews. My prediction is we'll see a mainstream movies be recut/reframed to be vertical on Netflix/other online streaming service simply to complete with TikTok's content farms.

Stopped using FreeBSD on my home servers (2 RockPro64s) because it lacks big.Little support, which results in an OS that doesn't distinct between the stronger and weaker cores. Among the BSDs only NetBSD supports it but that's too far from my comfort zone. Not only that but SSL and GNUTLS speeds were terrible at the time since it didn't knew how to use the cpu extensions (greatly impacts samba performance) I've stoped using.

Meanwhile Linux is a breeze. Faster, more responsible pulling 650MB/s on AES cryptsetup benchmark. BTRFS is actually quite good and LXC replaces jails. Transfers can easily saturate my gigabit connection. Don't think I'm going back so soon.

I read this more as Uber and Kalanick going for "full free market capitalism/libertarianism" in the US's economic and legal system, move fast/break things etc etc, than any nefarious data collection effort.

This says more about Uber's callous disregard for legal regulations, labor rights and the hyper-aggressive-venture-capitalist-funded environment that it exists in as a corporation than anything about data mining.

Basically "f the government, we do as we please" by Uber.

Though obviously the data collection itself is terrible as well.

Uber's practices are what happens when you take a bunch of young aggressive business school grads who think Ayn Rand is the best thing since sliced bread and give them hundreds of millions of dollars to hire engineering employees.

> maybe the Republicans _are_ on to something: the government has become too big.

Except this is SF, not the Federal Government, and part of the reason the costs are so high is because PG&E is holding the city hostage. Republicans want giant corporations like PG&E to have more power to hold the government hostage and loot it. Why do you pay attention to what they say, rather than what they do? They never actually shrink the government; the bigger the government is, the more there is to loot, after all.
Yeah, the most clear example of that is taxis. Also less traffic makes easy for drivers that bring goods to the shops.

"Crime labs" cannot be trusted. They are unaccountable and dependent on police departments for funding. Their results are "good" if people get convicted. That's perverse and contrary to scientific principles. That extends to publications in that field. It's systemically corrupted and needs to be restructured to be independent of police and prosecutors.

It's hard to get a clear view on these things within your own country, my advice would be to compare Reagan, Thatcher and fascist military dictator Pinochet.

One of them killed lots of people, and still gets praised today as making their country richer, when the evidence suggests they didn't. Which wouldn't really justify the deaths even if true. Sorry, did I say one of them, all of them, I meant all of them. Seems easier to spot that when it's not your country though.
I think if we operate under the classic it's not if but when, when it comes to data breaches. Then switching providers isn't always the best idea in these situations. If anything, Medibank's security should be significantly bolstered following the attack as executives, recruitment etc will now have realised the impacts of a data breach. Not something every company has had to deal with YET.

What I do worry about is corroborated information, if you were involved in the Optus breach which realistically is likely for many of us. Then your leaked driver's licence number including your medibank number can start to make up that 100 points of ID check.

Therefore I suspect that people should be having either their DL or Medibank number changed, if they've been confirmed in the breach.
Aside from the fact that the accuracy of that book has been seriously questioned, your bringing it up doesn't refute what you were replying to. You need to have committed a crime for parallel construction to apply. Yes, there are a lot of laws and a lot of crimes defined in the U.S. Code, and people do get ensnared by laws that they didn't know existed. But that doesn't change the U.S. constitutional guarantee of due process.

I’ve never seen this in Australia. But my main gripe with motor/push bikes is a) People riding without any lights. b) People riding without sufficient lightly.

Re. b)If a bike comes up really close to the rear of your vehicle, and the rider has no reflective gear, the light can be obscured by your own vehicle.

Re. a) I’m not sure if this is some Aussie thing. Especially with push bikes. The number of people I’ve seen on the road at night with no lighting and zero reflective gear.

Because, interpreted strictly, what you're insisting is trivially true. Obviously anything can be explained with words. However, sometimes the volume of words required would make the explanation incredibly tedious, and words aren't the most appropriate language.

English/natural language isn't a privileged mode. It's one of many, including math, musical notation, computer code, and chess notation. We use the best language for the context, and who cares that laborious translations are available to others? I could be typing ascii codes in binary, instead of letters right now, but so what?
Have you tried reducing the register count in your FP32 FMA test by increasing the iteration count and reducing the number of values computed per loop?

Instead of computing 8 independent values, compute one with 8x more iterations:

for (int i = 0; i < count * 8; i++) {
v0 += acc * v0;
}

That plus inlining the iteration count so the compiler can unroll the loop might help get closer to SOL.

My Occam's razor says that every other virus has a natural origin, why wouldnt this one too? Maybe your razor needs sharpening?
Does this impact most distros? I'd imagine Python and PHP's native crypto bindings would be replaced with OpenSSL which should have assembly variants of SHA-3.
that's totally fair. there are plenty of cases where a shell script will just do. however, we found that for runbook-like documentation it's elegant to interlace narrative and commands per step to incrementally work through the steps to completion. the IDE could, for an instance, set you up with configuration and credentials required and provide a richer way to display intermediate results.

scripts always work well until you share them. in a Bring-Your-Own-Device world it's easier said than done.

however, totally depends on the situation and in a lot of cases a script file will work just fine. hope this sheds some light on it, not trying to convince you that an IDE is required.

I believe those types of problems can be mitigated or even solved by changing your perspective. Example, I can’t get revenge on those people who wronged me. But I can forgive them. And through that, I no longer care. It is in the past, and like children who have stolen a cookie from my jar, I have to forgive them. And so I’m released from my anger.

I’m not sure what the solutions to those other problems are, but I think there would be solutions of a similar vein.

There is an oddly specific reason for this: just about everything that might be controversial is likely filtered away into bubbles.

If you're familiar with SHA-256 and this is your first encounter with SHA-3:

The main differences between the older SHA-256 of the SHA-2 family of FIPS 180, and the newer SHA3-256 of the SHA-3 family of FIPS 202, are:

* Resistance to length extension attacks.

* Performance. The SHA-2 functions—particularly SHA-512, SHA-512/224, and SHA-512/256—generally have higher performance than the SHA-3 functions. Partly this was out of paranoia and political reasons in the SHA-3 design process.

I can’t speak for everyone, but some of them yes! If you were homeless and needed to shit in the middle of the night (usually avoidable, but stomach bugs can screw you - and they’re more common when you can only afford bottom of the barrel food), would you prefer to do it directly on the street in the vicinity of your bed where you’ll have to smell it and look at it for weeks, or into a bag where you can properly dispose of it immediately?

Now imagine you live in a community with a dozen other hobos, what sorts of policies would you legislate?

ECH is encrypted using a public key obtained through DNS (specifically DNS-over-HTTPS[0]). My assumption is that you would terminate the ECH encryption at the edge, but everything else can be terminated with a separate cert at the origin server.

As a NJ resident, it is good to see that we are doing something that may be a good thing. I am already tired of cars being too expensive with too many unnecessary gadgets while the engines are becoming more plastic.
Yeah (but as another commenter says, a cul de sac only for cars, not for bicycles or walking).

It's not designed for stop traffic totally, just to disincentivize some (most maybe?) kind of traffic. The idea is also make those areas kind of "independent". In the sense that they should have most of all necessary services. Places for buying your groceries, medical services, small business..

Of course, in practice it's not ideal, they are still learning.
Cul-de-sacs block all through traffic, not just through traffic by cars. This typically makes getting around impractical without a car.

Superblocks to my knowledge do not, you can exit anywhere on foot or by bike. Basically it makes getting around outside a car the more convenient option.
