I bet this doesn't work for everyone but it works for some people, and I think I am in that category.

A bunch of years ago, I did a part time MBA, including weekend and night classes. So I remember sitting at my desk at the office and thinking "cool, very soon I get to stop working and head to class" and then other times thinking "cool, there's no class for a few days, I get to focus on just work!"

The context switch was refreshing and something to look forward to, in both directions.
> Whats most tragic is it's not expensive to just allow players to host it themselves for a game thats already multiplayer.

That’s hardly true for modern games. One I’m working on currently would be on the order of a few thousand US a month to run the entire infrastructure. Trimming that down does not help me launch, and only helps the very small minority trying to run a particular game after its death.

Most modern games don’t run on a single server piece, it’s distributed.
Responding at all provides information.

If you send a bunch of targets and the enemy is vigilant and attempting to mark all of them and destroy them ASAP, you know exactly how good their detection & response systems are, and, crucially, you'll find any blind spots.

If they're ignoring all of them, you learn nothing.

If they're responding unevenly (tackle some fast, ignore others), you get some signal, but a lot of noise.
Then they would add a "cash fee." Just ban the junk fees altogether.
Very cool! DuckDB also has a WASM version for flexible in-browser analytics/visualization:

That's a great heuristic to give the point to anybody that holds indefensable positions.

I recommend people to be much more interested on whether she is actually right or not, instead of whether the views that she opposes are simply bad.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that very few people actually hold all of those bad ideas as true (I'm met more than one, so they exist). But the normalized speech of the area surely did, and for quite a long time (I believe it's changing). And that's what reaches students and news, not the detailed opinion of individuals.
Right, and that pretext makes sense.

But it still comes down to consent. If it’s not there at the consent of the host nation (either specific to that situation or via the Chicago convention), then the host nation has every right to take the object down, and the originating party bears most of the moral burden of the situation.

Now, I’d still want the host nation to act as responsibly as possible (for example, the US not shooting down the original balloon over land due to risks to people on the ground).

I still think the jump from the original moral scenario of “no human on board balloon with a potentially plausible argument for being there” to a “passenger aircraft full of people, clearly operating under the Chicago convention” is… quite the leap and really not fairly representative of the original question, and therefore quite unfair to hold to the people who answered the first scenario.

It feels like asking “who’s responsible if bomb disposal techs blow up abandoned luggage”, and then turning around and asking people who respond “Oh?! So what if those bomb disposal techs blow up a bus filled with people??” It’s just not close to the same scenario, to the point of feeling almost like bad faith.
[Assuming I made no horrible mistake in the GP...]

In general, you can make systems that show only one of the effects.

* If it's big enough and the voltage is big enough, you can almost get a system that is a classical capacitor, without noise.

* If you reduce the voltaje, you may see the noise. You can increase the temperature to get more noise. I wonder if it's possible to measure a Casimir-like effect here. I never heard that, but it looks possible. Anyway, if the temperature is too high you will have some nasty new things like electrons jumping like in a vacuum tube.

* If you reduce the size and keep it very cold and apply no voltaje, you can get the almost pure Casimir effect.

A big part of physics is understanding which simplifications you can make and how to build a device where the simplifications are correct. Each of the effects are useful, but a device that use all of them is probably too complicated to think about.

I wonder if the people building microprocessors have these problems. They have hot devices that must be at room temperature, that are tiny because they must put a lot of them in a small piece. The only part they don't have is the vacuum, so the material between the plates can keep them away.
It is useful to realize that either side is moved by the allure of power, and it's a fool's errand to justify the current situation with whataboutism - either instance was wrong.
An alternative point of view is that computers provided a lot of increased productivity, but that the increased productivity didn’t reach the enormous levels of productivity increases caused by mechanization. In other words, it’s not that computers have been a dud (we’ve actually seen an impressive amount of productivity growth), but that mechanization was such a game changer that other technologies pale in comparison.

At least, so far. We should also consider the possibility that certain technologies might take years to fully mature. Look how long it took for mechanization to happen during the industrial revolution. For instance, it was about a century between the first steam engine and the first commercial steam powered train.
I didn't realize this was a thing! Also, the article notes the extension makes its actual ruleset available, so if you use e.g. uBlock Origin, you can add this as a rules list: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter...

Short Bio: I'm a full-stack software engineer based in West Palm Beach, FL. I'm the co-creator of Campion, https://campion-breaker.github.io, an edge-based serverless middleware for implementing circuit-breaking functionality for distributed services. Previously, I founded BooklyBox, which was successfully acquired by Quarterly, https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/12/pagehabit/.
OK, I can't defend that...
The documentary produced by the BBC "The Modi Question", was uploaded onto YouTube several times the week of release but taken down by request of the Indian Government.

I was astonished a foreign entity can stop the world watching something if they don't like it, it wasn't just geo blocked it was removed off YouTube.
Eh; if you can choose not to buy the modem, then go ahead and do that if you're willing to configure it yourself - not having to do that might be good value for some.

Forcing you to buy the modem on an over-priced installment plan is obviously not OK.
I'd love to know the reason why they want to join! I would assume through some sort of pressure, but I am only guessing now.
Maybe works in some countries. Government housing in the US is awful.
PW count isn't the real data center hub in NoVA. That would be Loudoun county/Ashburn.

Of course there are people who complain on the local nextdoor but data centers are a big source of revenue for Loudoun county.

> The sound of cracking knuckles is actually a release of gas in the joint

That's only partially correct at best, because joint cracking is not a single phenomenon. For one, there is disagreement over whether the sound comes from the formation of the gas bubble, or the collapse of the gas bubble (cavitation). It is likely that both are partially true.

Furthermore, it doesn't explain the sort of joint cracking in which people can crack a joint repeatedly with no cooldown. I can crack my wrists and ankles by twisting my hands and feet around in circles, cracking once per rotation as fast as I can turn them around. 60 cracks a minute easily; neither of the gas bubble hypothesis can explain this, it is almost certainly a matter of ligaments or bones moving around against each other in a way that creates a snap sound, like snapping your fingers makes a crack sound by slapping your middle finger against the base of your thumb.
To make it work in brave we need to turn off language based finger printing [1]. I wonder how's that related.

Edit: btw, congratulations on the release. This is the kind of stuff I think should be explored more using LLMs. Great choice on making a chrome extension, it's great UI for this kind of thing.

Yes, but my point my OP was about the lack of grocery stores with healthier options -- i.e., fresh fruits and vegetables, etc. -- in lower income neighborhoods. Those are perishable and therefore much less of a target.
Yes this is exactly right. In my case the business has been 12 years and now we are probably valued around $65m. 12 years is a really long time. I never would have thought it would take this long, but also I never would have expected to have the success we have had. I often look at other startups and I think to myself — This was really freaking hard to build this business bootstrapped, but it wasn’t impossible. It also didn’t take any special skills. It just took determination and hard work and continuing to do that for a long time - and i wonder why they don’t try the same thing I did. It must be because people underestimate the impact of hard work over time. The key thing is don’t die and continue growing, even if its a small amount. Continue fixing things, getting better, getting more customers, etc. Just like you said above.

In the case of my business i wasn’t thinking long term, i just was obsessively focused on it and never gave up. I think the human mind is just really poorly equipped to think long term and there are many many opportunities out there for people who can.
My first reaction was that you need to send all potential search results across the network in the DB, which would be ok for a small app.

So, I guess there's a goldilocks app size where this is a good solution.
Just some questions off the top of my head, that I, a FOSS developer have, and can not say with absolutely certainty that an EU court won't have problems with.

How long can the IP kept around for? And in what form? If it lands in a database, does it need to be encrypted at rest? Can it just be hashed? Salted, too? Do I need to rotate the salt? This limits the ability to protect the service though. Are the tools in my stack logging something somewhere else I don't know about? Could I get in trouble if it is? Cloudflare forwards IP-derived data to me, like the city of IP may be in, do I have to be concerned with that as well? Do I have to tell users upfront that I use Cloudflare and it derives data? I'm guessing I have to fully understand what CLoudflare does with this data. It eventually hits my Digital Ocean droplet, what does it log?, are there separate logs I can access from them outside my droplet? Certainly they have logs, too, what do I do about that? If I just require all users to explicitly agree to some form of data collection this probably goes away. Oh wait, now I have to manage obvious PII and ensure Right to be Forgotten can be exercised in a timely fashion, I've just made the whole thing more difficult for myself.

There is a cost, and it affect the small honest devs the most.

I'm not saying what GDPR is attempting to do is a bad thing, I'm just saying that it is not easy to comply like everyone keeps saying.
Not in the way that is described here. I took "always treat strings as opaque high level objects with dynamic memory allocation under the hood" to mean that the string would have operations, like append, that would reallocated/resize the string if needed. C strings are definitely not that.

Once a vehicle is over 8k lbs, its considered a commercial vehicle. which is why all 3 major companies '3/4 ton' pickups are just a hair over 8000lbs..
IMO I dont think this is true. If that was the case then big tech wouldn't have closed shop in Russia for their crimes.

Their morality is just conditional
Profit is a strong incentive to optimize. non-profit organizations are under different incentives. They both have pitfalls, they both have advantages.
Seems like the simplest compromise is to just force the user to answer the question one way or the other. No default - ask them "do you want to enable telemetry? We'll use it for X..." and only continue the upgrade or install or first-run once they have provided an answer one way or another.

Will it cause friction, with users and with tooling and automations? Absolutely. But I think the costs of that friction is not a tremendous ask in terms of avoiding the dark pattern that is defaulting to yes.

In a perfect world, at least. In this one, end users are never going to win an argument about telemetry with google-borne systems, and definitely not for actually benign telemetry systems like this.
We know that monetary factors (like the federal reserve) can't be the main casual factor because rents are increasing at very low vacancy rates at the same (if not higher) rate as the price of housing.

If the fed was the primary factor we would see a divergence between housing prices and rent since the fed has minimal direct effects on rent.

Looking at the data, the primary driver is simply that more people are competing to live in urban centers as we have banned the construction of additional housing in most cities.
My last ER visit I was seen by a PA, which is fine. They're more than competent.

The part I didn't like was how they made me get out a credit card while they we're treating me.

Which, according to a story by the NY Times, is a common thing. Send a nurse around with a swipeable tablet to ask how you'd like to pay.

It isn't that hard. Everyone else does it. But yeah, brace yourself for the incoming tidal wave of lobbyists and simps pretending that it is, lol.
How does this tie into all the building code amnesty rulings the government supported the last few years there? I feel horrible for the people there.
Could you comment on which "flavor" of SQLite for WASM this is using and how you built or pulled the glue code? I think sql.js and absurd-sql are the best known solutions for this but it's not clear from the blog if you're using those or rolled your own. Information on how it was built or what prebuilt you're using would be fantastic.

I also see that load-db.js is loading the known search index values into localStorage ... do you have some tooling for creating this file from a known SQLite base file or was it just handrolled from a localStorage already holding a valid DB?

EDIT: Looking in the code I found this
const db = new sqlite3.oo1.DB({
filename: 'local',
// The 't' flag enables tracing.
flags: 'r',
vfs: 'kvvfs'
});

Googling lead me to the "official" SQLite WASM pages which otherwise don't appear too prominently in search results for whatever reason. This (https://sqlite.org/wasm/doc/trunk/about.md) seems like a good starting point and notes that both sql.js and absurd-sql are in fact inspirations
It takes a lot of work to figure out the right thing to do, so you need to spend all those hours. If you don't then you just go into the stagnation phase of your life where you stop growing because you stop putting in efforts on things you aren't sure are needed.
Ah yes, as my uncle used to say while I was labouring for him in summer holidays. "A change is as good as a rest, let's move those <heavy objects> instead". He paid well though. Happy days.
This means it's a good one. Checking it out, now. I love it when this kind of thing backfires.
In our opinion, the future of billing is hybrid. This means customers pay a platform fee (a subscription) but don't face blocks for exceeding their plan's limits. Offering multiple plans with appropriate entitlements related to the feature set is still possible. However, blocking usage instead of billing for overage represents a lost revenue opportunity. Most customers won't upgrade, so we recommend allowing them to pay for overconsumption on top of the base fee.
China's done similar things, the most prominent I can think of being them bullying the NBA into policing what their players can say.
Applications of the internet are not the internet. However, more specifically, I don't think you can have more than one internet[1]. it is like the universe, by definition that is the whole thing[2]. The instant a network connects to the internet, it becomes part of the internet.

1. there are really two definitions of the internet. A. the set of networks that use the internet protocol. B. the sum of all interconnected networks.

2. But what about the multiverse? you loudly exclaim. Like I said by definition the universe is the whole thing. even once you expand your domain past it's original boundary the whole thing is still the universe. your original domain would now be considered a subverse.
That's exciting about Firefox, though I really wish that firefox would support OPFS in such a way as to allow selecting the directory where the files are located, beyond just persistence, there are some use cases where that is required (vscode.dev for example).
Meta's lineup isn't a fair comparison IMO, since those include significant compute power to a actually run the software, battery, inside out tracking, and are completely untethered, all for about half of what this costs. This is a tethered display that relies on separate controllers, lighthouses, and computation.

That said, lightweight is awesome. I think getting weight out of the headset is going to be really important for any sort of casual use of VR, but I don't think this product is good example of that, just because of all the other requirements.
Rail has a very good safety record compared to other forms of freight, considering the quantity of freight that moves.
More money invested in rail than would be made off the coverage by the relevant parties would be the simplest answer.
There is some evidence in the primary care world that going to a NP for primary care costs more than going to a doctor: https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/scope-practice/.... In short, NPs order more tests without improving patient outcomes.

I have no doubt that it's the same in the ER. It takes training and knowledge to know what test you don't have to order. Do you really need a CT scan for your diarrhea?

That being said, I think there is definitely a role for NPs : low complexity and/or non-acute highly specialized care. The emergency department is not the environment for that.
I used this extension for several years but I also didn't know you can use a filter rule for this. I'd like to know what makes Mozilla know what is good for me though.
Yup. It also goes to a lot of an irrational opposition to labor.

People who make decisions like this don’t like the inconvenience of someone questioning her decisions.
I missed that this happened, that's great news. When I saw a few places get away with no longer accepting cash "for the convenience of our customers and the security of our staff," I figured that it was only a matter of time until everywhere else that wasn't doing light tax fraud followed suit.

Tangentially, I'm also pleasantly surprised how easy it still is to buy a physical MetroCard. My understanding a few years back was that contactless payment would be the default by now and if I wanted to buy a physical MetroCard, I'd no longer be able to do that at stations but I would instead need to go to "select retail partners" to do so.
So what? So will a Ouija board!
I always wondered how much intelligence they gather from the Go playground.

Probably the data is too wild to make any use of, but then all the folks who have a clue using the playground as a kind of proof-of-concept play area... would be great for analysis.

Anyways, I'm not sure how well it would work, regardless of if it should be a thing at all. The majority of stuff I do, and the folks at work, we all have build pipelines that control internet access, use cache systems, etc... so I'm not sure it even matters.
As an outsider, with no knowledge of (burning) chemicals, it's hard to judge the situation, though. It looks bad and sounds bad, so why should it not be bad? Reddit is making it sound like a cover-up and conspiracy by the newspapers and powers that be, but isn't really offering any metrics or related studies – only anecdotes.
>I wanted to get some value out of my $29. I got none.

It's not for sellers to make value calculations for buyers. Caveat emptor.
Duolingo is fine, you just have to be aware of its limitations. Getting the trophy isn’t going to represent the finish line of most peoples language goals, but it’s a decent start.
Most hospitals are already losing money or close to losing money. Taking away profit motive from them e.g. by subsidizing operation would only increase cost of care, because the incentive to run lean/efficiently goes away.

The insurance system and perverse incentives embedded in it is the primary reason healthcare is expensive here. Also many countries have price controls on drugs, and US does not (thus subsidizing RoW in regards to new drug research).

In the past 30 Years Berlin had housing go up in value 10x but population went up 1%.

Look it up

The current financial system created the housing criss.
The dark patterns that make it very difficult to price shop are inherently an attempt at deception. They're deceiving you into choosing an option that's more expensive than it initially appears.

If everyone knew this was happening, they would spend more time trying to avoid falling prey to it. Nobody is paying an extra fifty bucks because they don't want to spend the extra twenty minutes. But if every consumer knew this, it wouldn't be deception, it would be friction. And companies would eventually stop doing it to make their service more appealing.

I think this is the key insight.

Top of my head, I can point to a couple of real productivity things from even cheaper energy:

* Vertical farming (Energy must be cheaper than the sun)
* Space travel
* AI
* Cheaper everything as the value chain becomes cheaper

However, to enable this we also need to get rid of energy-conservatism which is prevalent now and, this is the important one, find energy sources with less negative externalities.

> Whats most tragic is it's not expensive to just allow players to host it themselves for a game thats already multiplayer.

It's infinitely expensive, because older games compete with new ones(not everyone cares for looks and there are mods that can make this argument obsolete). And new ones don't always win. Especially with introduction of game as a service. There are many tactics used by modern developers to squeeze more money from players, that modern gamers don't like. And if gamers had a choice many would go retro. This is why WoW Classic exists. This is why emulation exist. This is why people develop open engines for old games. And this is why it is in developers best interest to prevent their older games from competing with new ones. Especially if people were to learn that they could get free skins for their games in past, while modern ones demand cash for even basic palette swap.
