Nope, once you involve others, you involve consequences, as it is now their free speech (and free association) that often generates those consequences.
Sorry, no.

All Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) have been approved between LA and SF with the exception of DTX between King and 4th to Transbay Transit Center in downtown San Francisco and between Palmdale to Burbank. The latter has Draft EIR/EIS that has a pretty clear strategy of maintaining 220 MPH (or close to it) mostly in tunnels under the San Gabriel mountains. So the strategy to reach the goal 2:40 is pretty sound^[1].

Now I would like to add that nothing here is a novel technology, there are plenty of build out systems worldwide with non-maglev trains maintaining a speed of 200 MPH or close to it, and even a handful of systems that maintain 220 MPH. The geography of the Central Valley even lends it self nicely to this with it’s flat surface and relatively straight lines between stations. The only novel thing here is maintaining a 220 MPH in several tunnels. However I don’t think this will be an impossible engineering challenge, and the EIR/EIS statements agree with that.

Also note that initial planning was for 200 MPH inside those tunnels, but after the preferred alternative of shared 110 MPH corridor between Gilroy and San José was approved, then it was decided to increase the speed in the tunnels to 220 MPH to make up the lost time. I think this was a good decision as you say, the challenges of building a fast corridor within city limits are probably greater then the challenges of going really fast inside tunnels. And as hinted the trains will only blast through caltrain stops at a max speed of 110 MPH, not 220 MPH.

I do want to emphasize the fact that the approved EIR/EIS has on the credibility of the project achieving its goals (this goes into concerns you raised in your other post). This means that interested parties had their chance to scrutinize every aspect of the plan, that includes engineering challenges as well as civic challenges (including right of way acquisition). I do agree that the property acquisition has proven difficult in the Central Valley (particularly around construction packages 1 and 2-3). This is in no small part down to the amount change orders and difficulty of utility relocations along the right of way. My understanding is that the authority has learned from these challenges and is now forcing its contractors to finish all the advanced design before they begin construction on that segment. This should significantly reduce the number of change orders which would make it easier to acquire the needed parcels.

1: There is a case for the DTX to actually slow things down (I very much doubt the trains will be traveling much faster then 50-60 MPH this last mile), but this will only be like a minute or two. So I will give you 2:42 hours is actually a likely final number.
I worked 35 hours a week while in college. I had almost six figures of loans once I was done. I didn’t pay them off until my 30s.

It is precisely because of how much that hampered me that I’m glad that others are relived of that burden. It’s even harder for kids these days!
The money is real, but the other important aspect is that any government can compel these companies to restrict free speech. One of the governments is the board of directors of the company itself. Unless you truly own your phone, the speech/software allowed on it is determined by the government. If you have complete control of the software running on it such as FOSS, then you own/control the phone. Otherwise you are basically renting a device that is controlled by government.

I agree. But I optimistically believe that decline will soon experience a renaissance.

We’re gonna start declining again. We’re gonna decline so much. We’re gonna decline at every level. We’re gonna decline economically. We’re gonna decline with the economy. We’re gonna decline with military. We’re gonna decline with healthcare and for our veterans. We’re gonna decline with every single facet.

We’re gonna decline so much you may even get tired of declining. And you’ll say “Please! Please! It’s too much declining! We can’t take it anymore. Mr President, it’s too much!”

And he’ll say “No it isn’t. We have to keep declining. We have to decline MORE! We’re gonna decline MORE! We’re gonna decline so much! I love you America. You’re gonna be so happy!”

Ahh yes. Soon. Soon.

Don't you think this is pretty childish? When market conditions change companies need to adapt, sometimes that means laying people off. Isn't that the job of the CEO?

Many arguments here against bulling prevention seem to conflate two different issues.

They lump squabbles between similarly weighted peers with the situation where individual children get systemically singled out for mistreatment.
It's just a standard thing to point at, isn't it? Like a greeting at the start of a letter? Simply what one says?
My advice is teach your kids how to fight.

I grew up with 2 brothers and lots of cousins and learned how to fight by watching boxing on TV.

I fought my 2 year older brother to a draw when I was 6 years old. I dropped a 15 year old kid who was way bigger than me and bullying me by kicking him in the balls that same year and then stood over him while he was on the ground writhing and crying in pain and told him he was lucky I wasn't kicking his face in. He never came near me again.

By the time I started school kids in my neighborhood knew I would fight and when I started Jr. High kids in school already knew I would fight, and I was not a big kid, I was pretty small compared to most kids my age.

When I was 14 a kid I didn't know and was way bigger than me hit me in the head with a hockey stick at a city park and knocked me out cold. When I came to he was skating away from me. I skated as fast as I could, caught up to him and jumped on his back and knocked him down and I started wailing on him. I really don't remember how but I ended up sitting on his chest slugging him in the face as hard and fast as I could when I started hearing people yelling "Stop! Stop!" and realized there was a crowd of people watching me.

When I was in my late teens I started taking MMA classes. That taught me how to use an opponent's force against them and when I was 21 I literally bounced a guy who'd been pestering me for years to "wrestle" off his bedroom ceiling. He was in my face pestering me again so I gave him and little shove and he came back trying to shove me as hard as he could, so it was mostly his energy, I just redirected it. He was in shock because it happened so fast. I was stunned at how well it worked.

When people know you will fight back they tend to not mess with you and getting hit is not the worst thing that can happen to you. You'll heal up. Not fighting back sticks with you and hurts forever.

Bullies will only keep bullying kids who don't fight back. I taught my 5 kids this and none of them were bullied in school.

How Florida Got So Weird
As someone who went through the Indian education system, teachers were some of the worst bullies who would frequently abuse their power.

- A teacher posed a question to the class and I and another boy answered immediately. The teacher was upset and said "cliquecover and boy are always putting themselves forward"

- A few senior students demo'ed a cool robotics toy they'd built. Our science teacher mocked our class for not being as intelligent as them, instead of explaining how we could build one (doubt he knew anything about it).

- A university lecturer openly ridiculed all the female CS students as "useless"

- A tendency to obscure their incompetence and lack of understanding by focussing on petty details: eg a math teacher ridiculing us for not knowing our multiplication tables and forcing us to memorize them, instead of teaching useful skills, English teachers being obsessed with spelling and handwriting instead of general reading and composition skills

- Universities engaging in extortion by refusing to release student's personal documents unless they would take up the first job offer they obtained via university placements.

Very few intelligent people in India would become teachers in the kind of school I went to. They would rather take up software/IT/private sector jobs, so you get mediocre non-entities who have free rein to treat students as they please.
My ancestors earned it and they chose to give it to their descendance.

So the idea is that you can’t legally collect information in private that you can technically collect.

A debate on the utility of public unions would be interesting to me, you being up a good point.

We should probably nationalize our railroads, too, but that's a different discussion.

We've gone off the rails (!) but we might agree more than disagree. My stances:

Homelessness: housing needs to be more affordable, income inequality should be reduced through progressively higher taxes, and funding for mental healthcare and public safety should be increased.

Cops: major reforms required but they are a necessity in society.

Unions: reasonable for private sector, debatable for public sector, dangerous in the case of law enforcement.

Oh, and the root of our failures in government is the two party system which lowers morale for the public, promotes political extremism and encourages fear-based politicking instead of solution -based politicking.

They knew the game they were playing, only they pretend to be paragons of virtue and write meaningless blather about it.
The problem with bullies will never be solved if we don't solve the problem with teacher first.

Teachers, in essence, is the most bullied class in social hierarchy. They have low wages, huge overtimes, tremendous responsibility of upbringing children, yet almost no real authority over them. It just doesn't make any sense.

Because of this I'd bet that most teachers nowadays are either spineless, or bullies themselves. Teachers that can display a real leadership are miracles.

but also to say that typically when my toner cartridges start to say "empty" or get a few streaks, all i have to do is pull it out, give it a few firm taps all around (think tapping a nail into drywall) and then give it a few horizontal shakes to redistribute the material across the drum. I get 100s of more pages this way doing it multiple times.
> secondly because it would grant enormous power to that party, and no logistical actor is willing to give away this power.

This is a crucial point. When you speak to crypto enthusiasts, they speak about oracles. However, all the oracles they build are for crypto coin prices… not IRL applications.
This is useful for example when implementing compiler optimizations, or concrete string implementations. It means that you can reduce "foo" + "bar" + foo to at least "foobar" + foo and that you can intern "foobar". Would that work the same without calling it a monoid? Of course, monoid is just a name. But that name allows you to go shopping in a wide variety of other fields and work other people have done and mine it for ideas or even concrete implementations.
I don’t know anything about this, so I bet you are right (and hope you are!)

Firstly no, they didn’t earn anything on their own, and secondly if they did make that choice it was selfish and not theirs to give away in the first place so their “ownership” here is a mistake on their part to believe they had.

You can’t own progress, you can’t own a society, and you definitely can’t own the concept of freedom (can’t believe that isn’t clear).

100%. You can probably help everyone on the team (to some degree) who is willing to do some work to improve. But you probably want one (or ideally two) people who can work with people and are the gate to actually publishing anything. They don't need to be a dedicated resource and don't even need to be "professional" editors. But they do need to be able to work with people and have strong writing (and copyedit) skills.
Well, yeah, "just add that random feature only I need" doesn't lead to great code, even if someone is getting paid for it.

Fascinating how nobody wants to talk about all of RMS's numerous problems, but only after they've declared that he's a poor victim of cancel/woke culture.

If you don't want to "have that discussion again"....why did you comment in the first place? This is like hearing a topic mentioned in a room you're walking past, running in, stating a position, and then running out of the room with your fingers in your ears, shouting "LALALALALALALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU"
Anyone looked through these studies?
That's not necessarily toner left in the cartridge. It could be developer. Laser printers have 2 separate forms of powder inside of them. One being toner, and the other being developer.

The developer has fine metal particulates inside that "charge" the toner, enabling the toner to be pulled off of the drum, and onto the page.

Larger copiers have the Developer, and toner separate. However, the cartridge pictured is the full process unit.

They used to be in some applications (like really big photocopiers). But toner is messy nasty stuff to deal with. Maybe refillable at a shop could work though.

I regret to inform you that none of those things are ponzi schemes. Many of em are certainly fraud, but a ponzi scheme they are not.

Your incorrect definition of ponzi scheme is essentially 'basic market dynamics in an inflationary economy' and would include the vast majority of financial products in the world, including the ones your probably trust.

I've had similar experience. I found that I went through a kind of mourning for my old life for a while. It's a huge adjustment.

It also eats up a huge amount of time - reading labels for hidden ingredients, trying to come up with a meal that you can make that doesn't include the bad things etc. It became very isolating. Eventually I decided I had to figure out a middle ground.

I will meet people for "lunch" and just have coffee, or whatever I can tolerate from the menu.
I have people over more often because I know what I cook won't make me sick.
I went back to eating out - it takes a while to figure out/trust restaurants you can eat at. There will be mistakes along the way.

Good luck - I hope it gets easier for you.
For this kind of system, probably very yes.

But I don't blame you for asking, when there are stories of irreplaceable nuclear test data being stuffed on some RAIDs and then nobody replacing the disk failures for years and years...
Generally I'd say that what you're doing WASM can sometimes be a lot slower than native, but if you're using WebGL to do bilinear interpolation that is something that is entirely on the GPU and is basically free, so it's an odd point of reference?

Looking at the unoptimized code itself, it's getting ~150 MFLOPs which is close to C/C++ in the sense that it's only 10-20x slower than what a single core can do before manually doing any vectorization.
