292 million passenger cars in EU versus 7,8 million horses - no wonder nobody gives a damn about horses yet people care a lot about car batteries.

edit: also, nobody taxed horse owners extra just to clear the way for cars.
They didn’t ban her on the basis of face recognition. She just got flagged by security, after which they asked for her ID and banned her on the basis of her real identity.

So the chance of false positives is minimal.

I will admit that I think Bill Burr put the issue of overpopulation in mainstream consciousness and I can't deny that I worry that the solutions ( or forced by circumstances -- war comes to mind ) proposed are unlikely to be pleasant for the globe as a whole.

Still, in parent's defense, I am not seeing that stance in my interpretation of that post.
No job protection laws will protect you from losing job when startup runs out of business. Look for a new job now.
I'd be curious what your flavor of "functional programming and pure functions" is?

I ask, because I used to feel very similar about the OO paradigm (it helped me model the world easier, made me insufferable because of my zeal, etc). But, I had the privilege of doing that with nearly 20 years of Smalltalk. A battle worn path of ObjectiveC, Swift, Java, Python, Kotlin, and JavaScript later, I feel the pain. It's like being in forestry, one day you work with a chainsaw, and the next day they give you a fan with spoons welded for the blades.

These days I'm doing some Elixir... and I love it. I don't know how welcome it is in the "functional programming and pure functions" club, but I think it's awesome.

I have a working theory that what has made these paradigms loved or hated, is less about them theirselves, and more about the execution thereof. What made and makes both Smalltalk and Elixir appealing to me is their simplicity and straightforwardness. There's a mechanism you learn to reason about the problems you're trying to solve, and then you can excel at it, instead of constantly stumbling on edge cases where "hybrid" languages try to reconcile all of the paradigms together.

YMMV
The issue here is that a lot of people who need a spot close to the door are not "handicapped." The obvious example would be someone gimping around in an ankle cast. You wouldn't, they wouldn't, and their doctors would not say they are "handicapped." They don't have "handicap" concerns, but they certainly have "accessibility" concerns.

For a long time we weren't at all sure whether the expansion of the universe would stop, leading to a "big crunch", or continue forever, slowing down for eternity. Then we found the other option appeared to be supported by observational evidence: the expansion is accelarating.

We're in a similar position with finding life elsewhere. The vague error bars in many terms in the Drake (so-called) equation shouldn't be read as indicators of (im-)probability, more as signs of major gaps in our understanding. We slowly inch towards better data. Surprise is likely on the journey. I would say though that, so far, we're pretty sure there is some life in the universe, but nothing else.
I created a similar service to this called Monetized.Link https://www.monetized.link/ ...We describe it as if you put together a tiny url and a paywall. From what I've seen there's a fair amount of interest in easily converting a link into money. Like Gumroad we've tried to make it as easy as possible, but more to be done.

Our team's background is in content so we initially were imagining this as a paywall for one-off content. You could put these monetized links inside a newsletter or twitter stream for instance and get an easy to create payment stream from your exiting users.

Over the product's development we have found support with the web3 community doing token gating (get the premium content if you own an NFT for instance).

I hate them with a passion and have no much need as I've got pretty much tools of every sizes but... I like plier wrenches.

I've got many plier wrenches and even the cheap ones do nearly every single job I can think of better than an adjustable wrench.
It’s been a long time since I had a package stolen even though I live in a “crime-ridden liberal hellscape”.

Personally, I’d like to see a few things.

Police actually patrolling rather than sitting on the major street a few blocks away pulling people over for minor infractions.

Police taking any actions whatsoever when reported such as using the video and license plate to follow-up would be nice as well. Contrary to what is oft repeated, they do get prosecuted around here.

I’d also like to see companies like Amazon, have their drivers actually respect the preferences that you can set such as delivering packages to a side/back door or to a certain place that’s less visible. Despite having my preferences set with every service, I’ve still come home to find packages on the very edge of the steps or front porch where they’re visible from the end of the street. When I lived in an apartment packages were left outside the door sometimes even though drivers had an entry code.

The USPS workers are the only ones that seems to somewhat consistently care and one guy even knocked and checked on me personally when he noticed I hadn’t gotten my mail in several days (just forgot).
There's no exogenous law that exponential trends continue indefinitely. In fact I'd argue it's much more common to see sigmoid behavior where eventually negative feedback loops cause a plateau.
> It would have to be large enough to take in a couple packages.

Also heavy enough to not blow away in the wind, but light enough for inexpensive delivery. Perhaps with IKEA-like assembly, and a compartment in the bottom for gravel or dirt.
The UPS worker that takes my package could steal it. The warehouse worker could steal it, or the delivery driver.

"Porch" indicates exactly the form of theft: unattended packages in front of people's residence.

I'm really confused why the term is bothering people?
They're both array operations, even comparisons. No branching.

I peeked at the onenote format standard [1] and the obsidian canvas standard. The difference is hilarious. The onenote standard is painfully complex, provided as a .pdf, and binary to boot. Compare to an example obsidian canvas - this is obvious, text-based (I could read it with notepad++) and easy to understand just by reading it:

"“I also encourage people to reach out to the police, but only about 5% to 8% do that,” Stickle said."

People don't bother because they know that law enforcement rarely does anything about it. San Jose, CA a couple years ago had someone catching porch thieves on video yet SJPD said they wouldn't pursue the matter further. Not surprising considering how low the penalties can be, if the DA even moves to prosecute.

I'm in Sacramento, which is now #5 on the list, and while there are organized theft rings that will basically follow delivery trucks, many of the package thefts here are done by the homeless. Due to rising thefts, the Amazon Lockers have been a great thing to have.
Even just a shield to make it not so visibly obvious that there’s package for the taking would cut risk by xx%.

Sometimes a lot of easy and cheap solutions are better than a few expensive but closer to perfect solutions.

At least what I like with the amazonization of society is that most packages are close to worthless to fence.

That big Amazon box might just be toilet paper. The small one might just be hot sauce. That wasn’t a thing 20 years ago.
LOL at the idea of JS frameworks having staying power. Is this GPT?
> Housing prices increasing over time is the conspiracy.

That's a stretch. It would be basically impossible for a house to not increase in price unless it was built to such low quality that it disintegrates when exposed to weather or the whole region goes into economic collapse (e.g. Detroit of some time back). Neither of these are conditions you'd want if you can avoid them, so you don't actually want a depreciating house.

The reasons are simple, no conspiracy. If you build a house on one of two empty lots today and then someone wants to build an exactly identical house in the other lot in 20 years, it's going to cost a lot more to build that second house. Because materials and labor costs have increased quite a bit. But the house is identical, so market price of the older house will necessarily be about the same as the new house.

(Yes this assumes the older house has been maintained so it is identical to the new one.)
Unironically, I can totally see this with MQTT in the manufacturing industry. It’s unifying the communication a lot which used to be very heterogeneous and proprietary.
Quite literally the opposite of progress. Sigh.
I'm a long-time vim user, and haven't really used anything else over the past 15-20 years. I use a nice color scheme, barely any plugins and a moderate but static vimrc. I feel like this is my happy place, it let's me write with the setup I'm used to, in any terminal, on any machine, and on any codebase (JS, Python, Go, HTML, C, etc).

Every now and then I see the magic of modern text-editors (VSCode et al), especially with code completion /intellisense and file trees. For me, I rarely feel like I need to be able to complete function parameters in my code to be more productive. Code-writing takes up such a small amount of the creative process that I'm perfectly fine looking up seldom-used functions in a web-browser. I wonder if anyone has ever attempted the jump from longtime-vim-user to these and can share their stories about why or why not.
There is no one-word replacement for something being "grandfathered". It's important to consider practicalities here.

Moving away from "slave" was reasonable (Buildbot got rid of it many years ago!), but led us down a very slippery slope.

I'll stick my head out and say "master" is fine actually.
When the reaction to a slur is pure confusion, then you've won.
I previously founded and sold a VC-backed marketplace for short-term contract programming work. However, I think any of the marketplace-style business models are flawed because they have to be so controlling to maintain their cut of the revenue.

I believe we need a simple job board for part-time, freelance software work. No long process to apply. No need to rate your coworkers to get paid. No subscriptions or revshare. Just a lightweight job board with a great email and good matching.

So, I'm working on building that:

If they actually kicked people out, not just say "please put your phone away" people would learn it's not okay. The only reason people do it is because they don't think they'll get in trouble.
It's astounding to me how much the cost of porch pirates, self checkout theft, and customer returns are now baked into the cost of products, yet things still seem quite cheap.
Do it!

You are clearly interested, which to me is the primary reason to do anything like this. I did it and never regretted it. I learned a lot and met a lot of cool people.

I've used chatGPT to ask about my area of expertise, and the answers are usually frighteningly good. It can also give completely wrong answers with an equal level of confidence.

Around here in Denmark, you just get a notice for what shop you can go and pick it up in. The same thing happens if you are home, but they are lazy.

With the merge being approved, there were now only four Corporations. Sure, there were many off-world Corps, but they didn't have any meaningful affiliations and were really just a novelty for Roamers. Everyone, from birth, was employed by a Corp. Mind you, employment doesn't endow a title, salary, benefits, or duties. It just meant you were permitted access the various amenities it provided: transportation, tech, telcoms, housing, food, water, and of course, a social access permit.

Corps are a lot like the "Sponsored Nation" concept from the 2300s, but without the discrete geographical boundaries. This makes it, by design, as some argue, too easy to find one's self in violation of Corporate policies. Usually someone makes a wrong turn or enters the wrong door and winds up in front of an Adjudicator.

Since the merger, however, enforcement of overlooked policies has been on the rise. Given the complexities of the merge conditions, it became very difficult to remember who was employed by whom, which inevitably led to misassociation with non-colleagues. What used to be a social faux pas, paid for with a sheepish smile, would now find you among the Unemployed.
And I guess we need to buy into their decentralized network so that this AGI compute can be done on their "clearly unbiased" crypto software that's running on the computers of all those who bought into the hype of their crypto coin. And then every participant who worships the feet of the crypto lords can get a unique NFT of their crypto lord. Maybe one person will get an NFT with the crypto CEO having silly green glasses, or another person who helped the CEO become a billionaire will get an NFT with the CEO having a pink mohawk. The endless possibilities of crypto and AGI :-)
So many things were far from optimal for that run. Low air temperature, high humidity, low track temperature, low traction track surface, low temperature tires (even with the spin, that only affects the surface and dissipates very quickly).

The difference in availability is certainly related to Brcm's involvement but that could just as easily be Brcm's capacity problem, rather than a spat for which there's no official word on (and it makes no difference to consumers anyway).
I think it gets lost in the messaging when people say "crypto is a scam". I think they mean to say precisely what you did, but when people yell "cryto is a scam" it makes the random Coinbase user who bought .0001 BTC wonder how the hell they are scamming people. It doesn't make them think - huh, maybe Coinbase (or more importantly, Celsius, or BlockFi or FTX, etc.) itself is the scam, and I'm being scammed.

The article mentions Delta positioning itself "as a more high-end airline with premium features that can attract higher-paying leisure and business travelers".

Aren't those the customers less likely to quibble over paid wi-fi?

When I was flying for business (almost exclusively Delta), I would pay for the wi-fi every single flight. And I never thought twice, because I was expensing it.

At worst, I thought it was tacky for Delta to nickel-and-dime me (well, the client, actually). The only time it would matter to me personally, is when I was flying for pleasure, on my own dime.
I think people confuse "I don't personally know Java" with "Java has a slow time to market." Sure, for people that don't know Java, learning Java to that level is definitely going to cost you time.

Erlang and Elixir both do not have any way to express a global variable, or even a variable that can be accessed by two different processes (green threads, lighter than OS processes). All inter-process communication happens through messages. It's not checked by the language, there is simply no way to express the concept in the language itself.
