What ever happened to the 2.4 mile NJ Path extension to Newark airport?

There are so many ways to reduce the bus, taxi, and car usage in the NYC metro area.
And if anything I absolutely hate cash transactions for used cars but sadly there haven’t been many alternatives. Maybe this will finally fix this.
I know a place that operated like this for years, so I don’t have to imagine.
What does "easily argue" mean in practical terms? Filing a case in small claims court? Credit card chargeback that inevitably gets disputed by the merchant and reversed? Haranguing customer service until they just give up and send you a coupon? In theory you might have a legal argument, but whether that's of any real use is another matter.
I think this is only an issue with the models that end in ‘e’ if I’m not mistaken. They’re pushing it hard, but if you know to look you can find the same model without these absurd restrictions. For example, the HP LaserJet M209dwe (d=duplex, w=wireless, e=HP+) will require an Internet connection and HP’s Smart app, but there is also an HP LaserJet M209dw that does not have these restrictions.
I feel like we have decent banking here…?
Pay more. Design the tank and the equipment so it's not a dirty job. All doable if you are willing to spend some money.

I think the union's position is that the register doesn't "discriminate" against officers who were terminated in spite of the union's "disagreement" that it was justified, and those who the union represented but recognized that the termination was valid.
It has value in terms of being an example of how old these institutions are, not to mention how trustworthy and with lasting power they are.

Administrative effort + 10 bucks is _nothing_ compared to that.
The demographic crisis is real in the Eastern European countries not in the EU (Western Balkans, former USSR) too, but at least the standard of living has massively improved in the EU member states.
Or pay people less to do the pleasant jobs.
My father in law was a used Carsten salesman until he fetired two years ago.

Most used cars are bought using loans. I.e. the bank provides a loan specifically for bying that car, directly via the dealership.
Arguably if you can prove to the provider that the email is FUBAR and you own the account, it might be easier for them to change out the email on you. Maybe a good reason to support login via email and / or phone number. If you lose both, you're screwed.
> at the beginning it was ~10k per processor.

Was Unix popular at that time?
I agree it’s process dependent but it’s also processor dependent. In the end we can’t say highly refined organic chemicals are strictly better here.
Brought to you by the Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute. Mission statement:

"The final solution to the hydrocarbon shortage will come only when mankind can produce unlimited cheap energy as with the promise of safer atomic energy and other alternate sources. With abundant cheap energy, hydrogen can be produced from sea water and then combined with carbon dioxide to produce hydrocarbons. In the meantime, however, it is essential that solutions be found that are feasible within the framework of our existing technological base. The Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute is at the forefront of this effort."
The kind that want to make a profit and see that doing this is profitable.
> I'm not asking for your adress, just country.

Yet you asked a very different question, where are you _from_.

> To connect history and politics with your statement

Ah yes, the old "You're mired in your specific history, but I'm objective" nonsense. GTFO.
300% of the printer price (treble damages) would be adequate compensation, methinks.
I agree with the sentiment in this case, and I do think 10k is ridiculously low for this restriction and the premise of this helping money laundering doesn't sound very convincing to me. But this strawman is IMO the weakest possible argument against the whole "this affects no-one" idea.

I think the more convincing points are
1) it does actually affect many people within specific groups, e.g. business owners
2) there is no alternative that comes anywhere near the features of cash, especially reliability and acceptance combined with instantaneous transfer. I think history gives enough reason to mistrust banks in times of financial crisis, and I literally cannot reliably pay for anything without a card from a bank or credit institute - or cash.

there are more points mentioned in the comments here on HN but I realized I started rambling so I'll just stop here
Well, it's a bit more PITA to get your ass to station with all the baggage, then also possibly changeover to another line. But yeah, to the airplane it's an altenative.
With enough energy input you can do a lot of interesting things. Question is where you get the energy from.
I'm European, and mostly use cash.
I use a custom domain and forward all mail to a web based email provider for this reason. If my provider drops me, I can move to another and update my forwarding. There’s still a risk I could lose the domain somehow, but I don’t hear about that happening nearly as often.
For those who want to try, here are the steps I took over about an hour to set it up:

1. Downloaded the Win10 artifact: https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/actions/runs/363552... at the bottom of the page by logging in to Github. Extract and placed this folder in my F:\ drive renaming it to 'Whisper'.

2. Downloaded `ggml-large.bin` here: https://huggingface.co/datasets/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/m.... Within F:\Whisper, add a folder named 'models'. Move ggml-large.bin to the 'models' folder.

3. Downloaded ffmpeg, extracted the archive to F:\FFMpeg, and set the environment variable by going to (right click) This PC -> Properties -> Advanced system settings -> (Advanced tab) -> Environment Variables -> click Path -> Edit -> (paste in ffmpegs path i.e. F:\FFMpeg\)

4. Use PowerShell to run ffmpeg against an mp3 file, to convert it to WAV (which is the only format that works) i.e.:

ffmpeg -i F:\Rec\input.mp3 -ar 16000 -ac 1 -c:a pcm_s16le F:\Output\output.wav

5. Open PowerShell again, `cd` to the Whisper folder, and ran this:

./main -m models/ggml-large.bin -f F:\Rec\output.wav
Sorry, I guess I shouldn’t have assumed that people would read my reply in the context of the comment I replied to.
Right. But that is illegal and in my view also immoral. If you want to change the law campaign for it. But breaking tax laws is not a victimless crime. You are freeloading/stealing from the rest of us.
> We imported English common law.

In most places... which is your first point.

One of the science fiction authors that I've read has run in to this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Alec_Effinger

> Throughout his life, Effinger suffered from health problems. These resulted in enormous medical bills which he was unable to pay, resulting in a declaration of bankruptcy. Because Louisiana's system of law descends from the Napoleonic Code rather than English Common Law, the possibility existed that copyrights to Effinger's works and characters might revert to his creditors, in this case the hospital. However, no representative of the hospital showed up at the bankruptcy hearing, and Effinger regained the rights to all his intellectual property.
There is even talk of using a nuclear heat source to drive petrochemical transformations in China as well as the US

The eventual goal of search engines is to provide a direct answer.

Disagree strongly - IMO _trying_ to do this is why Google's results have gone to shit over the last few years.

I want a search engine to SEARCH for what I entered, not try to guess and then find whatever spam-blog put in the most SEO for what it guessed I meant.

Maybe search engines could go back to doing their job and leave the "synthesizing plausible-sounding nonsense" work to GPT.
Yes but then you wouldn't have been able to use Sign in with Google anyway.
Wait a minute, wasn't I already installing proprietary drivers in the early nineties? And also, those "standard" protocols, weren't those just simpler versions of this proprietary stuff, using the (yes, this part was standardized) pc ports like LPT or RS-something? The fact that they were documented doesn't make it all that much less proprietary, does it? Still, scummy nonetheless.
Well I also read the article.
I wouldn't go as far as to argue that it's a scam, I do think it's a complex issue which might require rethinking the way we geographically distribute infrastructure.

Carbon capture from the atmosphere is certainly extremely inefficient and not too practical (yet, at least), but carbon capture straight from large emitters like at factories should be much more efficient as it isn't having to go through as much air.

Combined with the difficulty of transporting electricity in many circumstances, carbon capture solutions which involve cleaning up the output from factories using something like an on-site small-modular reactor are probably a lot more practical. While of course the SMR would be better spent replacing a fossil fuel plant in the immediate term, in the longer term the output from the factory would also need to be cleaned up anyway.

So given enough serious interest in building SMRs/getting rid of fossil fuels, the temporary cost of allocating an SMR to carbon capture at a factory would be small compared to allocating it to replacing a fossil fuel plant (since another would be built soon enough to replace the latter).
> The difference is that religion addresses matters that ARE central to people's identity. It addresses choices that EVERYONE must make

In the essay, identity is associated with a particular religious/political/social perspective on the human condition, not the human condition itself. Keeping identity small is basically converging on "being human"-- the choices everyone must make as you note -- without the false certainty that comes with loyalty to a religious/political/social identity.
PS/2 series closeness, was not a problem.

Real problem where other vendors, which offered new hardware (with for example, new CPUs), before IBM.

First case was Compaq-386, which considered by wide public as brand, and appear on market, before 386 machine from IBM.

As I know, Compaq-386, was not much commercial success, but it shown people, they could buy excellent hardware from other brands, not only from IBM.

And after this happen, it made PS/2 series not so interest, as before.
There is virtually no way. Most if not all printer on the market are sold at loss, even at massive scale. The possibilities to lower the cost have been exhausted. There is absolutely no chance a startup can get around that hard limit.
I'm still not sure who buys a car that expensive with cash, seems sketchy, inconvenient and unsafe. I wouldn't take cash if someone wanted to pay me that much, in fact someone did, they paid me for a contract with $5000 in used 20s and it was really fucked up, I didn't know how to get it into a bank or use it for anything without setting off alarms.
And how is that EU’s fault and what makes you think that your politicians were loving the large cash payments but Germany and France made them ban >10K EUR payments?

Which country again?
I don't know if you played with chatGPT but it's much more than a just right sequence of inputs and outputs.

I have already incorporated into my daily use (as a programmer). It has huge flaws but the output is anecdotally amazing enough that the claim of "cognition" is not as extraordinary as you think it is.

Especially given the fact that we don't even fully understand what cognition is, the claim that it is NOT cognition is equally just as crazy.
I don’t think it solves new problems.

If you want to learn vocabulary efficiently then spaced repetition is still superior.

For grammar I still prefer a textbook.

And then it’s a lot more fun to practice with other humans.
Bank transfers in the uk are pretty much instantaneous during working hours, and often outside too
Learnings from Advent of Code Day 1 as a Rust Newbie
+1, I think the most valuable lesson we've learned w.r.t. CRDTs at the moment is that valid merge operations basically don't generalize, and basically have to leverage properties that are application-specific. This isn't a fatal flaw, it just constrains the design space.
So make the criminal act at the end of the journey illegal, not the act of walking 200 miles on foot.

This feels like the question of Blackstone’s ratio: “It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.” I’m not an absolutist about these things, but I take Blackstone’s side of this (very difficult) question.
Recently bought a new printer, avoided anything with "smart" or "cloud" in the name/description.
That is because NCAP and rest only counts features that are on after starting car into that rating.

Similarly MPG rating also requires that, which is why stuff like auto stop/start and the safety features don't remember settings after restart.
Let me falsify your claim immediately: the inputs of these models are nothing like the inputs a human receives, subword tokens do not even match up with lexical items (visually, textually and semantically).

You seem to agree with me even though your interpretation of falsifiability is inverted: I am not asking that authors make a claim that their models do not mimick human intelligence. Like OP, I ask them that they do not make that positive claim, i.e. omit humanising language unless they can substantiate it with evidence.
What were you saying "If cash is legal tender, then any amount is, by default, legal" meant? The only meaning of "legal tender" is that someone with a court judgment against you can be compelled to accept legal tender. It doesn't say anything about whether it's legal for you to use it in other transactions.
> I wouldn't say that any of the military's problems are easy to solve, but recruitment itself is a scam.

That was not my experience at all. I picked my specialty code well before a slot opened up for me to go to basic training. The contract paperwork was extremely specific, and the guy walking me through it spent a lot of time talking about each individual element I was signing. They were picky about who they'd accept, they didn't dangle pararescue as a real possibility (it was more like, give the tryout a shot only if you want to find out how close to drowning you are comfortable with).

Hell, one of the things I liked most about the military was how incredibly specific they were about everything. That and the fact that if you knew how to schmooze the right chief master sergeant you could get a waiver for damn near any rule. Occasionally I still regret not at least staying in the air guard after I left active duty. It's like the best club in the whole world.

I'm not even sure how you'd sign away the GI bill, short of refusing to make the contributions. Otherwise it's just a VA thing and eligibility is very straightforward.

*war flashbacks*
At the risk of being wildly misunderstood, you can still choose to minimize your "queerness footprint" in public discussions. You can let your experience with that inform your opinions without making it into An Issue that you are queer.

It's not easy, but it's possible and I think a lot of our perception of people "at the top" being uniformly a particular profile is partly a reflection of the fact that people who get good at not making their identity into An Issue are the ones who get more tolerance in public spaces. I think this gets misinterpreted by many people as "That person is not queer" rather than "We don't know. They haven't actually said and it is a private matter anyway."
I sure wouldn't want to risk discovering I'd been paid in high-quality counterfeit notes. Accepting 2700€ cash feels insane to me.

In Europe do you not have cashier's checks? That's what we use in the US for something like a used car, since most people don't want to carry around a car's worth of cash, even for a short period of time.

You go to the bank, and get a check drawn on the bank for the amount. The person receiving it can call the bank to verify it's valid if they don't trust it. And if you get robbed (or lose it) you can have the check cancelled.
Could you link to anything that explains what you're talking about?
Effective Learning with Bloom's Taxonomy
My Brother colour laser is an absolute tank (by weight, if nothing else) and happily uses the cheapest eBay toner going. It can sit idle for months then get plugged in and hammer out 400 pages, double sided. I'll never use an inkjet again, they're always nightmares.

We'll see how long it goes before the fuser carks it, but so far it's been pretty cost effective, considering the thing itself was £200.
Being flagged for money laundering and it actually being money laundering are two different things.

Obviously it would then lead to them asking why he was choosing to pay the builder in such a manner, rather than just doing a bank transfer. Ultimately could lead into an investigation of some sort.
Well maybe not as much as VMS but it started to gain traction.
Unfortunately even Brother has resorted to similar means to locking their cartridges. I got Brother because they have been reliable, but was disappointed to see Epson and others with better Linux support when in the past I had thought Brother had good support. You can use IPP Everywhere or whatever they call it but you lose access to a lot of the printer and page options.
A tendentious article whose actual title is 'Why liberals cannot acknowledge Twitter discrimination against conservatives' as opposed to the more analytical approach suggested by the HN submission. I sometimes edit titles myself when there's a good article with an overly clickbaity headline, but in this case the headline and the content are of a piece.
I think you forgot to try to back up the bit about how the US pays government workers. And the bit about tends of thousands of Polish soldiers too, come to think of it.

And the bit you did try to back up... I googled for the first story I could thought I'd read about industry there when the war started. I found https://www.br.de/nachrichten/wirtschaft/fnord,SyvASJz which is about the same thing (you'll probably need to use Google Translate) and you'll note that it says "west". Did I just have a stroke of luck to happen upon a story about what you say is the less indistrialised part of the country? It sort of makes your story sound less plausible when the first reality check is so implausible.

You don’t need CBDC, just the existing system today. Here in the UK something like 3% of money is available as paper cash. The rest is just a row in a database.

Assets are zero sum - if i sell you my car, i no longer have that asset. Money is not zero sum. It is created and destroyed as loans are made and repaid. Which kinda frazzles people’s minds when they hear it. I know it certainly did mine when i first learned.

Web front ends have been expanding, per Parkinson's Law, to fill the bandwidth allotted.

If it's not an explosion in JS/CSS from frameworks, it's the content image/video size.

Upside is that a "fast" user experience is easily achieved by defaulting to first principle JS capabilities of the browser, and delivering compressed content from the CDN edge.
I do realise that. I’m not against all (or fair) taxation. I just sympathize with people who manage to get away with tax evasion.

Sentences like “the state lost €30bn of revenue because of tax evasion” rubs me the wrong way. It’s not too far off from saying “mugger lost €500 of revenue because the potential victim ran away”.

I do realise it’s a fallacy—it’s just not too far off.
Most sites that require an email for sign-up only verify the email address once right after sign-up.

So if Google ever locks my account, my other website passwords continue to work, while SSO using Google is instantly broken.

Of course I won't be able anymore to reset my third party passwords through my Gmail mailbox, but many sites allow to change the email address if you know the password...
Rain + city lights can make it hard to see even road markins in front. Technically self-driving car would theoretically have opportunity for advantage here (as it can just refer to maps) but practically it's super hard problem to solve.
What’s the alternative? Venmo or it’s equivalent, or a [certified] check?

I’d prefer to still have the option of a cash payment, even if it’s one I’d rarely if ever utilize.
Oh well, the margin for the printers is mostly negative. For consumables, the margin is actually super high. But you simply cannot get into the market without a popular printer, isn't it?
I don't see how it is. This isn't about differentiating between rich and poor, nor about monitoring people becoming rich. It's about making sure that the kind of transaction that no normal person would ever do in cash, cannot be done in cash. It targets rich crooks not by identifying them, but by targeting the kind of transaction that only they would ever do.
This is an extremely strange thing to vary, though, because the point of drinking Pepsi is that you aren't drinking Diet Pepsi.

I'm not really sure about the context here, but I know that I tend to humanize AIs, for example interacting with ChatGPT like with a regular human being, because I'm being nice to him and he's being nice to me in return. I don't know if it's more like being nice to a human, or more like taking good care of your tools so they will take good care of you, but it just feels better for me.
The db that makes you use bit instead of boolean is a beast? I disagree. IMO it’s one of those technologies waiting to die.
