It's gonna make some difference, but air resistance goes with square of speed and the change in density due to temperature isn't that large.
Just finished the article. Did I miss where the author answers the question what Overture Map means for the future of OSM, or it it rather meant to be an overview of the state of things for those not involved in OSM?
The Volt is a unit of electric potential. The SI unit of current is the Ampere. You can have very large potential differences (in V) with very small current (in A). The unit of power is the Watt, and 1 W = 1 A*1 V.

So, a given power can be obtained using any voltage, with the proper current. In practice, high currents are unsafe so we tend to avoid that in unprotected sockets. Different norms correspond to different tradeoffs.
But SF is also very chilly for California so it really helps with the perception of humidity.
Now try a gibberish word. A human could count the number of letters but ChatGPT can only approximate it.
"Great initiative, but the homeless probably need to stay out of the cold more then anything else today..."

Saw this comment shadowbanned. Just so you know - I agree. I am more than willing to (and already have) help with shelter.
It’s interesting seeing splay trees mentioned in a post about “challenging algorithms and data structures.” They were taught in our undergrad algorithms class by one of the inventors (Sleator) along with a rant about how frustrated he was with other self-balancing tree algorithms and how relatively difficult they are to implement and often less performant than his splay trees.
Same here. I remember thinking the depression/drinking would never end. It did. Life is great now.

Merry Christmas
Would have loved to run into you last week, when I took a solo trip across Asia and was feeling very lonely in Tokyo. Hope you find some friends and have a good time!
It also has some calls to have the card do accelerated blitting on later versions.
Serious question, do Americans use clotheslines? Our dryer is only really used for towels/sheets in wet weather.

The rotary clothesline [0] was standard in Australia and New Zealand for decades, although with the move to smaller sections, people tend to install compact linear lines instead.

True, but in the US most 240v outlets are 30-50A, whereas in countries that use 240v for their normal household outlets, the current limit is usually 13-15A. Still double the wattage of a typical US outlet but not up to the standards of a “Level 2” charger.
I don’t understand why this has been downvoted. Everything I said is both factually correct and based in experience from working in the industry for several years.
It has to do with amount of capital, time horizon on the investment, how early you are, and all manner of things. It’s much easier for the individual investor to deploy capital than a hedge fund that has huge bags and therefore needs to make huge trades. There are benefits to being small as well as negatives to being huge.

Writing off any ability to beat the market is defeatist because it happens all the time. Someone has to buy the mis-priced stock and it isn’t high frequency firms who exit positions every night.
That is not the real problem. The real problem with virtual worlds is fun. Or lack thereof.

Virtual worlds are not entertainment media. There are entertainments within them, but the worlds themselves are neutral. That's true of Decentraland, Second Life, Sominium Space, and even VRchat. You have to make your own fun. Or find some place where someone else has made something fun.

The world itself is completely indifferent to you. It's not like playing a game, where the game forces you to do something immediately. It's like arriving in a new city on a bus and being dropped off at the big bus station. (Second Life's Social Island 10 is the Port Authority Bus Terminal of Second Life.)

This completely throws many new users. They want to be entertained, or told what to do. If your idea of a good time is being given access to a good workshop, Second Life can be very satisfying. Minecraft players do fine in SL. FPS gamers, not so much. If you're not very creative, it can be extremely frustrating. A majority of the population is not that creative.

Second Life has a social scene, and until you figure the place out, you're on the outside looking in. This drives many new users nuts. Some try being annoying. Then they discover the hard way how Second Life handles that. They get banned from a club by the club owner. They find that some clubs share ban lists, and now they're locked out of multiple venues. Anyone can ban anyone from their land for any reason, and Linden Lab will not interfere. Linden Lab itself does do some rule enforcement, but you have to file a complaint and wait a few days until the tiny Governance unit gets around to it. This is for situations where you'd call the cops in real life. There's no outsourced army of minimum wage moderators armed with ban hammers. It's all social pressure.

You can get a vehicle and just drive around. You'll pass houses, stores, gas stations, art galleries, coffee shops, farms, malls, vacant lots... Just like real life. It turns out that if you let people build, mostly they build familiar stuff. There are castles, fantasy areas and space stations, but mostly, people replicate suburban America.

Much of Second Life is rather banal. Linden Lab decided to build an island of unfurnished suburban houses with nice landscaping and rent them out, for people who wanted a pre-built lifestyle. After five expansions, there are now over 60,000 of those, with each user paying about US$100/year. People have parties, BBQs, and other suburban stuff. Really.

The technology is not the problem. Figuring out what to do once you have the technology is the problem.
Go aDore Jesus Christ, there is bound to be a perpetual Adoration chapel somewhere near you. Find Him and go to Him, the Nativity is a prefigurement of this merciful Gift. You will never feel lonely again because you will realize you never were.

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,

Mery Christmas, Everyone.
That is what on background means.
I absolutely love this! Thank you for sharing
That sounds backwards and wrong to me. When you are young, you have the most flexibility and can find fun everywhere.

Like when you are in your 20s, living with roommates (even if you can afford not to) is fine and could be fun, and you can just enjoy friends coming over for beers vs more expensive outings etc.

And if you save enough, you have the "dry powder" to buy that house or whatever when time comes.

On the flip side, if you don't save when you are young, and you can't afford shit when you are older - it gets not cute really fast. Like being 40 and not having a house because you never got your shit together for a down payment (because you lived it up the prior 2 decades) is pathetic.
I can't say I reached that level of despair, but on multiple occasions I was inches away (often literally) from alcohol destroying everything. I'll reach 5 years sober next July.
Honestly the stuff in these releases is pretty groundbreaking but the Twitter format is pretty awful for journalism like this imo. I tried to follow a couple of these threads in real time when they were coming out but, it was very difficult to follow.
I'm an urban living fan, but do you have a source for that claim? It would be a wonderful argument to make!
I’ve been waiting for auto checkout. Roll your cart through the scanner and zazam all tallied.

People can hate on self-checkout all they want but it’s super convenient when you have only a few items.
Used to feel that way, now coding is routine and no longer very thoughtful, and I can code when intoxicated without issue now, a little slower though.
Your Texas history could use some buffing.

Or appliance history at least (though we had iceboxes for quite some time!)

Maybe that's why we fought so hard for The Alamo; to clone it's futuristic A/C for later settlements...
Exactly. Soviet style apartment cities are on the menu. Highly efficient and affordable.
Do you mean that a certain amount of helminths is beneficial for our health? Is this just during childhood or is helminth infestation beneficial the whole life?

Maybe helminths shouldn't be called parasites then, since they somehow bring benefits to us? Like, there's some degree of mutualism
No, it’s because they tend to pull energy from the charger to warm the battery. They’re also often parked indoors. And if you buy one in a cold climate, you’ll often be getting a winter package which includes a heat pump, reducing energy needed for heating the cabin and the battery by a factor of 2 to 3.
I am a volunteer at a research lab right now in another state over my winter break. Had the opportunity to take a break, but I don't know anyone here and won't be here for a long time so thought what the heck
MG MQ4 has an option to preheat the battery, so if you know you are going to be charging in the next 30 minutes you can turn it on to be the optimal temperature. It does drain battery faster though so best make your calculations correct.
God Bless, you. Stay strong.

As sad as it may be, Poe's Law[0] really is a thing:

Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture saying that,
without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any
parody of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers
for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.

I've been bitten by that more than once, myself. C'est la vie, eh?

Not to mention the fact that the paradox of tolerance was in fact a PARADOX. Most people quoting Popper online to promote censorship forgets that part.

It is important to remember that a paradox does not have a straightforward solution. And if the solution exists it is likely about allowing more speech not less.
The stranger danger fear still exists to this day. Within my family, there are parents who have a fear of a van pulling up and abducting their 16+ year old children.

In suburban America, where people literally keep their front doors unlocked.
Self-checkout is awesome even with its flaws. way faster than waiting for cashiers.
Safari is slowly getting there as something I can tolerate. I currently use Edge on my Mac, I tried switching to Firefox but multi-account containers just don’t feel the same as Edge/Chrome profiles.

Safari has a nice feel to it, but without profiles it’s a non-starter for me.

On topic - these kind of extensions make Safari so much better, thank you for your hard work.
PhilG became incredibly cynical at some point and I stopped reading him. I'm not even sure where his money came from after the VCs "stole" ArsDigita.

U.K. is 220v @ 13A for an average socket. That's almost double what a common 120v 15A does in the U.S.
This is the biggest difference vs other leaks (Snowden/Wikileaks/etc). Other than

This stuff should be turned into an Intercept-style series (at least back in the Snowden days, idk how Intercept is today). The summaries I get via NYPost or other sites aren't very good. NYTimes and others big news site don't really document it that closely, if at all. So the only option are disjointed Twitter threads.

Maybe they'll publish a couple longer form articles + all source documents after-the-fact? I have my doubts though.
I agree that someone has to buy the mispriced stock. I disagree (because of evidence to the contrary) that someone can consistently identify the genuine mispricings in a way that pays off on risk adjusted basis.
Thank you. I have absolutely no idea how I mixed these up despite being very familiar with all the associated concepts and their respective labels.

Well, if they're smart, they've built their cities in such a way that cars are only something you hire for your vacation, rest of the time, a bike and/or a train pass is sufficient.
Yea the article is not about Middlemarch at all, it's only mentioned once.
It's an article / interview with Philip Pullman.
I could say the same thing for you. You’re not understanding you’re just composing words in a way which makes it appear that you do. If you can compose original and creative phrases from novel input, then I would argue that is “understanding”. If not, then what is the magic ingredient that makes it different?

Some do but it was considered a poor thing for much of the 20th century to the point where many cities and HOAs had rules against them. This is changing but it amazed me when I lived in California where in the summer you could line dry in similar times at zero cost.
I have been homeless in Melbourne too. Rent market there is a bitch to get into. I had usd30k in my Account, but no home as no one wanted to rent out to a single young male.

University was no help either. Got Lucky and met some hosts at a party.
Also!

Many folks who smoke know the dangers, but don’t know how to quit, or fear being miserable.

I’d highly recommend offering a book from https://www.allencarr.com/

They might not read it for a few years, but when they do, it’s the best way to quit.
Without taking sides about the actual suburbs vs. cities here (you may be right that suburbs are great), the tone of the comment is very "I have this now, thus I must be allowed to have it forever regardless of the consequences". If you had slaves, and other people didn't have slaves, it wouldn't be very 21st-century to be arguing that "so I choose to have slaves, but I don't try to make other people have slaves. You don't like slaves and not slavery. Why can't you be content to just not have slaves yourself? Why must we all be able to live on this planet happily?" You didn't put forth any substantive argument and I don't see how suburbs are incompatible with GP's proposal for more public transportation. I can't say that you (and everyone) can't have a suburb if you want it, it's just that the whole comment does nothing but appeal to "leave me alone, leave the status quo".
You witnessed something that is sometimes called the "Havel's greengrocer".

> Havel uses the example of a greengrocer who displays in his shop the sign Workers of the world, unite! Since failure to display the sign could be seen as disloyalty, he displays it and the sign becomes not a symbol of his enthusiasm for the regime, but a symbol of both his submission to it and humiliation by it. Havel returns repeatedly to this motif to show the contradictions between the "intentions of life" and the "intentions of systems", i.e. between the individual and the state, in a totalitarian society.

If you'll ever hear people comparing modern "woke" movements to the communists of the past (especially Mao's Red Guards) , those similarities are precisely why.
IIRC, that was about heating the oil.
I'm from Melbourne - Forget hotels, you can stay in a great hostel for USD$39 (AU$59) a night here, which is very affordable, and an amazing way to meet people. Don't be afraid of dorms, I've literally had the best times of my life backpacking the world and staying in dorms. Here's a hostel in St Kilda I'd recommend that's $39USD/$59AUD a night for a 10 bed dorm (which isn't too big, avoid huge dorms >18 people) https://www.hostelworld.com/pwa/hosteldetails.php/Nomads-For...

You will get more than accommodation. You will be welcomed in to a group of young travelers from all over the world who are looking to seize the day.

Bitcoin is obsolete by now. Monero is everything it was supposed to be.
Ok, let's take your example; concert tickets. You will still need to trust a central authority (the concert venue) to honor your ticket. Why not just let the concert venue own the whole thing?
Perhaps the passage of time teaches that as well, as we collect examples of being wrong about things we knew to be true.
What is the tl;dr?
What's interesting is that I can ask ChatGPT to create a table with the substring of the last three letters of each word, and put it into a new column (this operation by itself is amazing in and of itself, with correct format). It still gets the substring wrong for "lunar" but gets it correct for a bunch of other words. It must think that lunar gets tokenized to "lar" for some reason. I have figured out a way to get around that, but if I tell it that last 3 letters of "lunar" are "nar" it will correct itself and regenerate my table with the correction.

So mind blowing.
I would second this - I've had some incredible times in such places. I've put up a few other people in hostels tonight and expect a few more might take me up on the offer before end of day tomorrow. I understand not wanting to be a drain on resources, but it is very cheap and I'd feel much better knowing you've got a roof over your head.
I am marking exams. My deadline to enter the final grades is December 27th.

Everything has pros and cons, but some other behaviors that have survived for a really long time are murder, war, and (since it came up in this thread) alcoholism, which are not generally very well regarded.

This isn’t to say religion is necessarily like those things, but it does indicate a flaw in the idea that behaviors that stick around mustn’t be so bad.
This is true of the Midwest, too. After the months of winter 40° days are barbecue outdoors and go for hikes weather.

Many people I know assume that when inflation falls - prices will all go back down. We may see pockets of this but I also think they will all be fairly sad with the outcome.
I was responding to "Anything that connects to the physical world makes little sense at the moment as it defeats the purpose of such a smart contract."

That's why the judge's quote is relevant. They don't see a distinction between regular contracts and smart contracts. It's all just contracts.

I'm simplifying slightly (see Ricardian Contracts if you want the detail).
The article mentions that there's little evidence for this kind of "wage-price spiral"

Not to say that this isn't a one-off example of this!
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. You are correct it is difficult to be sure what true understanding is. Philosophers have been debating this for longer than computer scientists.
Was he one of thirty who claimed to have shot OBL?

Decades back, if you met someone at a bar who said they were SF, they were lying. There weren’t many in SF and those who were didn’t brag.

Today, with ~90K in SF and the turnover being pretty high, there are more SF vets than there are bartenders. It’s not so special anymore.
>Pre-registration of large (“level 3”) parties has been a thing for a long time. But when I was there, one pre-registered a party, one did so online, and I imagine a single administrator could keep up with the entire workload.

As far as "level 3" is concerned, are you referring to this scale[0]?

Festivity Level 1: Your guests are chatting amiably with each
other, admiring your Christmas-tree ornaments, singing carols around
the upright piano, sipping at their drinks and nibbling hors d'oeuvres.

Festivity Level 2: Your guests are talking loudly -- sometimes
to each other, and sometimes to nobody at all, rearranging your
Christmas-tree ornaments, singing "i gotta be me" around the upright
piano, gulping their drinks and wolfing down hors d'oeuvres.

Festivity Level 3: Your guests are arguing violently with
inanimate objects, singing "i can't get no satisfaction," gulping down
other peoples' drinks, wolfing down Christmas tree ornaments and
placing hors d'oeuvres in the upright piano to see what happens when
the little hammers strike.

Festivity Level 4: Your guests, hors d'oeuvres smeared all over
their naked bodies are performing a ritual dance around the burning
Christmas tree. The piano is missing.

You want to keep your party somewhere around level 3, unless
you rent your home and own Firearms, in which case you can go to level
4. The best way to get to level 3 is egg-nog.

I moved to Texas during the pandemic, primarily because I didn't want to live in a city with heavy lockdowns or with most people risk averse. I think it's great that different cities had different responses, but my preference was to live somewhere that chose normal life over preventing the spread.

I moved back at the beginning of 2022 though, primarily because SF had reopened enough. I suspect that there are many people like me, although I also suspect that this change is not going to reverse any time soon.
