Scheduling seems to be the most reasonable (non greed) defence. Surely now we have the tools to schedule and manage staffing in what is actually a quite complex set of constraints, with temporal and geographic inputs.

Can probably also optimise things such that shifts and/or journeys start and end closer to home for workers, less nights on road more overtime / less overtime when people want it etc.
If I am remembering correctly, that is one of the goals of this map. Providers were lying or misrepresenting the serviced areas, and now the end user can challenge them on the service they say they are providing.
Sickness is kind of a red herring in the discussion. Everyone uses sick days as surprise vacations and that is more disruptive for railroads than, say, my desk job.
Should media companies be required to provide a platform for government leaders to broadcast their messages?

To me this is basic 1st amendment stuff. We've gone pretty far down the road to authoritarianism when people think we need to protect the leader of the government's ability to force media companies to carry his messages.

In a vacuum do heavier objects fall faster?

In a vacuum, all objects will fall at the same rate, regardless of their weight. This is because the force of gravity is the only force acting on the objects, and it is not affected by the mass of the objects. In a vacuum, an object's weight does not come into play, and the only factor determining the rate of its fall is the acceleration due to gravity, which is the same for all objects.
The big difference to me seems that Brave actually gives you the possibility to pay them, instead of showing you ads and tracking you.

None of the other Big Tech companies do this.

Seems quite reasonable! in the end someone has to pay the bills after all...
As a casual underwater photographer, it's sad to see the compact camera market dying. I like having compact cameras that I can put into (relatively) inexpensive housings and bring along on scuba dives. My current Olympus TG-6 works really well, but we might never see a new model in that product line.

A few companies have tried to build underwater housings for smartphones but they don't work very well. Too hard to control the touch screen, and they don't work with external strobes.

Larger mirrorless cameras seem to still be going strong (for now). But the underwater housings are much more bulky and expensive.
Well this looks like a new milestone in technology that is nigh impossible to clean or maintain.

Even one of the surviving two, a radar scanner to detect speed traps, is in danger. Apple Maps (and I think Google Maps as well) will tell you of upcoming speed traps as long as other people have reported them.
Meh, bad argument. How about you write better code in Rust to replace existing stuff. There is so much more to consider and I think one of Rusts most repellent features is the preaching about its advantages. I definitely has some that are hard to deny. Still... how about just doing it, nobody is held hostage here.
I think most companies know how to get around WARN act or WARN act-like state rules pretty easily now. It's toothless imo.

There's two forms of posts I value, the ones I'll say I value, and the ones I apparently actually value.

I value posts that provide information I did not know that may or may not be actionable in my life. An example here would be the recent dishwasher post. This includes a domain expert stepping in and replying to a post.

I apparently value posts that provide information I already know in an amusing to read format; reposting or retelling of the first post, often. Reminiscent of: "Hobbits delighted in such things, if they were accurate: they liked to have books filled with things that they already knew, set out fair and square with no contradictions."
It’s unfortunate that marketers are killing what 5G is supposed to mean.

Whether Musk is or is not going to implement a fair stance on 'free speech' is still up in the air. He has done several things to level the playing field but also stumbled on the way and will surely stumble more.

Lately (as in over the last few days) a multitude of left leaning accounts have been suspended, most of them due to breaking clear rules on incitement, but others not so clear were lumped in with them. The latest suspension of 'Ye' is also controversial, don't think most people want to see a swastika inside a david's star, but, it doesn't seem he really want to spread any hate, rather the topics is so toxic in society that we all recoil from the slightest mention of the subjects. Do I think 'Ye' is correct? Heck no. But how can we know if we aren't allowed to explore, this is worrisome.
That's amazing.

I did consider suggesting replacing the semi-colon with "innit" at the end of each line, but it didn't really fit with the theme.
You didn't specify if the lens was up to the task in terms of sharpness on that MFT.

Conspiracy theory. I feel unsafe, therefore all the crime stats are wrong!

Let's say x% of crimes are reported. This would mean the stats are not an accurate count. But a huge enough spike in crime, like the phantom ones I see claimed in fear mongering internet threads, would not evade some number of them being reported.
Crime was worse in the early 90s.

Crime has gone way up recently, so bad that it is similar to 1997. 1998 and 1999 had lower crime than now.

This is at minimum a bad trend, and 1997-level crime is not great.

Not really, up until the past year or so, the cable ISPs would count an area serviced if they could get one house per zip code. I think this is stricter now, but these maps will help keep them accountable if we update and flag incorrect listings.

Your e-mail address is not relevant; You can be tracked anyway, by browser fingerprinting, etc.
A very high likelihood that there are parsing vulnerabilities in common basebands that allows a malformed message to change the firmware. These messages can be radio link layer messages or handshakes before encryption is applied. Even without DMA access, a baseband can deliver a malformed message to the baseband’s kernel driver on the android side and use that as a means to get full system access.

The lack of scrutiny in baseband source code review, encryption in relevant messages, and the opaqueness makes it a great target.
> ”The answer, in short, is “P.S.R.” — or precision-scheduled railroading. P.S.R. is an operational strategy that aims to minimize the ratio between railroads’ operating costs and their revenues through various cost-cutting and (ostensibly) efficiency-increasing measures. The basic idea is to transport more freight using fewer workers and railcars.”

That’s a long-winded way of saying: ‘We’d rather make more money than care about the health of our employees.’
No surprise, the founder was just on Twitter praising Elon for staff cutting and marveling at the amount of money saved.
“The American illustrator Ralph McQuarrie and British sculptor Brian Muir are the two guys who made this character design in 1976 for the Episode IV of this famous space saga.”

Minor nit. At the time of writing, Lucas had no intention of making Star Wars more than a single film. That came after production started. I forget my source for this but I think it’s either Robert McKee or Blake Snyder. And there’s some confusion around this due to a backdated screenplay with the Episode IV title.
ChatGPT generating free speech conversation scene
Could be, but that has nothing to do with this study.
I don't think this is limited to America or healthcare.

We're seeing these effects in corporate life, too: A charging station for EVs has been put up for the company and client EVs. I'm the first employee to have received "free access" to the charger as a benefit instead of more money. (to be fair: I'm the only one with a pure EV until now, too).

Now people are voting against putting up more chargers and enabling employees to charge for a smaller fee than normal, because "there's no normal gas pump being installed".

Nobody will lose anything with two more charging stations. But before somebody with another car gets "something nice", people prefer getting nothing at all now.
It's not subjective at all, it's a judgement of whether speech aligns with cooperation or attack as understood in human nature within tribes/communities.

Pro-social doesn't mean "positive" or "good" or "correct", it means that it's an attempt at progress or improvement for the community, from some sincere point of view.

"We should kill all nazis" is pro-social in terms of sincere critique, and anti-social in the threat of wanting to kill them. If we're at war with nazis then calling to kill them is likely mostly pro-social. If they're part of our tribe, whereby you are threatening your own people, then it's definitively anti-social. "We shouldn't accept nazis" is fully pro-social, and so is "we should all be nazis".

We can instinctively tell when someone is trying to be cooperative or offensive (attacking, deliberately destructive) to us in some way. We have the capability of recognizing it even if there are cultural/moral/logical (epistemic) divides. We just have to take the time to understand the other party's perspective and situation, then we can categorize their behavior.
The price difference is because of economies of scales, if that compact camera is produced at the same quantity as the parts of the camera will go down in price. Another factor is package size. Camera are bulkier and cost more to transport (factory to consumer).
For some cameras "beauty filters" are even a selling point. For a professional photoprapher that would be a nightmare. But most people aren't photographers and only care about getting a good looking image after pointing and shooting. And there is nothing wrong with that, but it makes for bad comparisons.
The other replies are correct, but I’ll just add that you’re mixing two things here:
- self defense
- robbery

For self defense (including cases where the defendant is being personally robbed) there is definitely a deterrent effect of guns.

For robbery where the owner isn’t present (the case you replied to, and also the vast majority, obviously) there doesn’t seem to be much of a deterrent.

This problem does not seem unique to railroads. Any business that depends on human labor to deliver a service would have this problem. Airlines, restaurants, theatre companies. The way to deal with this is to have excess labor available (slack in the system). Are railroad profit margins so small that paying for excess labor will bankrupt them? Maybe labor in the railroad industry is so highly regulated that labor flexibility very expensive to maintain. Railroad pensions are the only private pensions that I know of that are specifically called out in IRS tax forms. That has always seemed odd to me, and is probably some indication of how tightly regulated labor in the railroad business is.
Children taught by the SS would send their parents to prison because their parents assumed free speech in a private setting.

Once you realize that these abuses are inherent to a system that doesn’t culturally accept free speech, then you see the danger of the current moment more clearly.
Isn’t it so interesting - the instant pull of attention that you have to something.

My dad brought a Tandy 5000 home when I was in second grade. I am one of five children. We all enjoyed creating stories with a storybook program where you could place art and have the computer voice read what you wrote.

But I instantly was completely fascinated. I explored every program on it. Particularly this music making program, where you could write music for four instruments and hear it back. Fond memories of hitting the space bar and hearing it play out in our kitchen.
You're calling the pandemic spike a long term trend. I haven't checked in a while, but last I knew it was already showing signs of reversing.

Fuck the shareholders. Strike. Yes, I am absolutely willing to pay more in the short term for things so that people are treated with a little basic human decency.

Moreover, I'm more than happy to pay a little more for things in the long term to ensure that there's enough slack in the system to absorb the shocks that periodically come around.

We've just spent almost three years slowly killing everyone in healthcare because every "inefficiency" in the system has been trimmed to the bone. We've been asking people to shoulder crushing loads to make up for the lack of what is normally excess capacity. We shouldn't need a reminder that all that inefficiency is what adds resilience to the system so soon.

Airlines claim to have learned this. They say they're reducing schedules to more realistically match their ability to absorb hiccups during the holiday travel season. Time will tell, but it seems nobody wants a repeat of last year. If you make flying awful enough, evidently people will find ways to not do it.

Maybe part of the solution is to treat other industries like the banking and finance industries. Banks get periodic stress tests; perhaps it's time to do the same for all of the other systems that we rely on holding together but don't have to think about until they're falling apart under load.
You don't need AGI for that, just compute. As soon as you formulate the requirements to the model (objective function) and the dataset, methods can be iterated and found automatically, in principle.

If it can program a desktop application it can program and evolve tensorflow/pytorch scripts.
That is fascinating, thanks for the link! Hopefully I'll remember that if either of my USB/Ethernet adapters seems to be related to a network problem. Sometimes I think USB-C hubs are simultaneously the best thing ever, and the bane of my existence. I'm finally happy with the CalDigit one I use now, but it took a couple attempts to find something that didn't have some glaring problem. One of my MacBooks just uses a plan USB->Ethernet adapter successfully, but that's because I don't need it to do anything more complicated.
Most chipsets have the FM receiver. Most do not bother to hook up the antenna. As it would be one more thing for them to support and test.
Generally they are taking money roughly proportional to the value being added. You may grumble, but as lotsofpulp also points out, you're welcome to do it yourself. If you didn't, you were presumably still OK with the money being spent. The existence of a reasonable self-serve option keeps the fees reasonable; they can't charge literally 30% of the mortgage for these fees because then everyone would just do it for themselves. (And some of those people would get good at it, and open new businesses that did it for you for a more reasonable price.)

There is some inherent subjectivity to "roughly proportional to the value being added", but in my opinion, it becomes reasonably objective at some point when the value isn't being added. Not 100%, but reasonably so. I think part of the problem with Apple's policy here is that it is another example of trying to jam too large a set of cases into the roof of one policy, a pervasive problem right now with many Silicon Valley-style businesses that try to substitute expensive human insight with cheap computer code for economic decisions. There are perhaps cases where 30% is justified, because Apple is providing that much value to the target transaction. I'll leave that to the reader to decide.

But there are clearly other sorts of transactions that were going to take place anyhow, and it basically just happens to be taking place through an app. Apple did not introduce any significant number of people to Coinbase by putting the Coinbase app on the store. It does not provide a huge amount of service to Coinbase on a per-transaction basis; Coinbase has the financial infrastructure, the technical infrastructure, etc. One way you can tell Apple is not terribly involved is, what are they responsible for in this case? Not very much; even if Apple totally vaporized and all Apple services disappeared, the user could still perform the target transaction on a different platform with virtually no effort. Contrast with the answer to "what if Coinbase totally vaporized and all their services disappeared?" This transaction would become impossible.

For a transaction like this, where Apple did no marketing, where Apple provides essentially no irreplaceable technical service, where the transaction can trivially be done elsewhere and it is just happening to occur on Apple services, where the value flow doesn't need to involve Apple at all, a 30% charge seems outrageously large.

I think some of the problem in debating this, and arguably all the way down to people understanding this, is that both these cases exist simultaneously, and they are both "true". There are apps that exist and thrive only because of Apple infrastructure, services, and promotion. 30% doesn't seem unreasonable, at least in the abstract. But other apps don't have anything like that service or support from Apple, but get hit with the exact same fee. This is the sort of thing that really starts to look like monopolistic rent seeking. (Or at least oligopolistic rent seeking.)
True, "only full-frames can beat smartphones nowaday" is nonsense. iPhone 14 Pro Max's sensor size is 1/1.28". Naive physics, 1" is collecting more raw light. Now it depends on how good a person controls the collecting process (and post).

I doubt phones will ever reach the raw quality of RX1 due to physics, especially the RX1r II. That thing is still a beast.
I hate iOS color rendering though and I tried RAW. I ran the TMB (100mi in Alps) with phone and compact film camera and only 1 iPhone photo made the cut. The colors are too saturated esp the sky with the fake polarizer effect and the color transitions more abrupt. Everything looks way too cool in tone and muddy when I try to warm. And this is on a 13pro. My damaged film (noisy from X-rays at airport) was still far better with softer color gradations and better overall rendering. Fuji XE4 is also far better than phone. I hardly use my phone camera.

Who cares? That's life. Railraods need to deal with human nature like every other industry.
In a week or three, anyway. Anywhere somebody has bothered to liquify the NG, the radon will have decayed before it gets vaporized again. Where pipelines lead straight to gas wells, the dwell time in the pipeline before it is burnt could be quite short. But there might be negligible radon even at the wellhead, as it would need to be picked up from surrounding rock on the way out, unlike e.g. helium which accumulates.

Probably other toxins are more important: mercury vapor and hydrogen sulfide are usually mentioned. Hydrocarbons other than methane may burn to carbon monoxide or soot. Gas is said to get much less processing before delivery than it used to.

SpaceX will probably purify theirs before pumping it aboard, just to increase the useful life of their Raptor engines.
