Good job!
Good thought experiment. I wonder if pulsars similarly arise from that regular cycle of blackhole formation on a bit larger scale. I would expect some physical expansion and contraction to correlate.

As for the fabric/whitehole idea, I am in that camp if wormholes are a provably a thing, than hawking radiation over cosmic timescales could cause the eventual death of the singularity. Though if wormholes are provably a thing, then whiteholes would just be the other end. I wonder the black hole object fully evaporates or are there chunks of ancient black holes just floating around.
There may have even been Russian involvement on a state level. Parts of Wirecard were maybe a Russian FSB operation. Jan Marsalek was from Vienna, which is still one of the most important FSB outposts in Europe. There are some threads connecting Marsalek and the Russians to the government and the administration in Austria, that may be connected.

But it’s just speculation, no real evidence backing it up (yet).

I would simply avoid having a housing crisis by allowing people to build more housing. Seems pretty win-win to me.
How does that not make sense? It's totally possible to have an apartment that's luxurious. Luxury doesn't mean "large" - look at luxury cars, or watches. Most other major luxury products are almost defined by how expensive they are and how they're not meant for families. Luxury is defined by it being more expensive and presumably nicer to be in than the average thing it's competing with. A luxury apartment isn't trying to be a house, any more than a luxury house is trying to be a hotel.

That's not to say that most "luxury" apartments would actually qualify as "luxury" in the sense of most other luxury goods, but they are generally nicer than other apartments in the area, or at least newer.
I'm a big fan of the work some cities have done in zoning "urban villages", and as a homeowner who's also aware of the need for more housing, these strike a pretty reasonable compromise in my mind.

Essentially, pick some areas that are in-demand, have reasonable transit amenities, and are underbuilt. Zone them to be able to build slightly more dense housing. Then as those villages grow more, expand the radius outward and allow more density in the core areas.

I think it's reasonable to not want a highrise next to your house, but a two-story apartment building is easier to digest. Likewise, if you buy a house in one of these urban villages, you're pricing in the reality that something big might be built right next to you.

The radius-outward approach lets buyers put their money where their mouth is: if they never want any increases in density near them, then they can pay to be far from these existing villages. If in the future different locations become desirable for density, the slow radial-out buildup of zoned villages lets homeowners adapt reasonably well.
> the point of this project is to see what a modern "pure" Germanic English would be like.

The absurdity of this is manifest in the name: "pure Germanic English". That's like "pure California Champaign" or "pure Wisconsin Parmesan". There is no such thing as "pure English", Germanic or otherwise, because one of the defining characteristics of English is that it is, and always has been, an amalgam of many different languages accrued over time. Even Old English had four different dialects. And certainly a "pure modern English" is the very paragon of an oxymoron. If it's "pure", it's not English.

There's nothing wrong with playing around with language. There is something wrong with calling the result "pure" because it casts negative aspersions on everything else as "impure", which is a word that carries a lot of disparaging implications.
do you think capitalism would still be the base of that system?
What do you think a theory is? A theory is by definition unproven. With enough evidence, it becomes proven and therefore no longer a theory. Then there's the grey area in between, where a theory seems plausible but there's not enough evidence to be conclusive about it.

A "shitty" theory is one which completely lacks evidence supporting it and/or has far more evidence that contradicts it. The covid lab leak theory is not "shitty" by either metric.

I'm in my late 40s and try to do a lot of music exploration and discovery, and I've found a lot that I like, but I can't find anything new-ish that "sticks". Despite all the exploring and all the many one-off tracks I've found that I really, really like, it's painful to sort through all the chaff that Streaming sends you. When I go out to work in the garage or chill out for the day, I don't want to have my "discovery" filter on. I fall back to my comfort zone and put on a full album of something like Yes, King Crimson, ELP, Rush, Floyd, Zeppelin, maybe something more out there like Mike Oldfield, or even Tangerine Dream, Jarre, Vangelis, Klaus Schulze, and so on. The default is easy and I don't have to sit there listening closely and thinking "do I like this one enough to bookmark it?" I've never found streaming to deliver more more than 20% hit, 80% miss. And the hits don't hit hard enough to get into my default "safe" rotation.
Metalsmith is cool! I hadn't heard of it til now but it looks sweet.

I actually made something similar except mine isn't designed for static sites specifically. It just takes markdown, parses it into HTML (with code highlighting of course) and stores the html and frontmatter in an in memory sqlite database that gets rebuilt each time you save. Not the most efficient choice, but it makes plugging it into any front end framework like nuxt or next or svelte really easy, particularly if they have server side rendering. I guess it's almost halfway between this and PicoCMS. And you get full text search.

Out of context? Sure. But Adobe isn't going to just buy it, operate it, and collect its revenue.

Adobe rightfully sees itself standing on the edge of a cliff. Adobe XD, despite having some great features, was handily clobbered in the market first by Sketch, and then by the vastly lighter-weight Figma. Beyond that, Figma has a great, intuitive, smooth interface for making vector graphics. It's not nearly as powerful as Illustrator, but easily does what most interface and web designers need, and that's probably a huge chunk of Illustrator's market rather than the more intensive digital artist users.

If they lose Illustrator, the ecosystem is a lot less valuable. Photoshop has significant competition from relative newcomers and print media, etc. made in InDesign is has much less gravity than it used to.

So rather than trying to make better and more innovative products in earnest, they're going to try to buy and suppress their competition just like Autodesk and so many other dinosaur graphics companies.

Can't the allegedly smartest company on Earth figure out some solution to help people in these extreme cases? Especially when it seems like an honest mistake with no bad intention?

PS: The most aggravating part is that this doesn't even prevent bad actors from using various techniques (identity theft or mass-spawning lots of companies in some lax foreign jurisdiction) to continue operating. This just screws over normal people who fall into some kafkaesque trap based on some rule they didn't know about.

This is such a middle of the road, easy, low-drawback compromise that I can't believe it's not happened already.
Are you suggesting that Adobe and Figma executives should be criminally charged with an attempt to monopolize the market?

Edit: I looked up the justice department’s stance. From: https://www.justice.gov/atr/antitrust-laws-and-you

The Sherman Antitrust Act

This Act outlaws all contracts, combinations, and conspiracies that unreasonably restrain interstate and foreign trade. This includes agreements among competitors to fix prices, rig bids, and allocate customers, which are punishable as criminal felonies.

The Sherman Act also makes it a crime to monopolize any part of interstate commerce. An unlawful monopoly exists when one firm controls the market for a product or service, and it has obtained that market power, not because its product or service is superior to others, but by suppressing competition with anticompetitive conduct.

The Act, however, is not violated simply when one firm's vigorous competition and lower prices take sales from its less efficient competitors; in that case, competition is working properly.

Back when I still used sugar I found Xylitol pretty neat. It has about 1/2 of the calories of normal sugar but mostly tastes the same (I actually prefer it to 'real' sugar by taste). There are some claims about health benefits but I remain skeptical about them.

All in all, I decided pretty early on that eating stuff that tastes extremely sweet but does not cause the associated glucose spike is a weird way of fooling one's body, and it just doesn't seem like a great idea to me...

Reducing sugar/overly sweet stuff intake has this nice by-effect that everything else starts tasting much, much more intense. I'm very much into savory stuff nowadays, and when I sometimes let someone trick me into trying something sweet, I usually regret it - purely based on the disappointing taste.
It seems to only happen in drinks with high concentrations.

For all those downvoting this question, I think you should take it at face value. It would be nice to think that "Genuine question..." is not a prerequisite for that.
Creating a monopoly is in every business's interest.
Yes and no. That's certainly a factor, but outside of work, people also tend to stay pretty close to their neighborhoods (I've been able to walk to my grocery store in the last 3 neighborhoods I've lived in). There's also been substantial work to build new mass transit, but housing hasn't increased substantially around the transit stops.

Edit: I'm referring to LA. My impression is SF is small enough that this isn't a big issue.

This is the dirty secret of the industry. Companies hire data roles without knowing what to do with them.

It's not that data work is worthless. It's that most people aren't very good at trying to figure out how to tie data to actionable events that drive business value.

Bad news - It's not the business' fault - it's your fault. If you're a data practitioner and you feel this way about your job, learn the business and seek to find opportunities. If you just do the work you're told to do, you probably won't magically create value.

Good news - There's a lot of opportunity to help educate data practitioners how to think about data through the lens of business problems. I'm personally trying to tackle it through developing an online course.

>Is there any downside to these? Such as distracting cars or blinding other cyclists?

One speculative possible downside: others have answered the human aspect, but in the context of security/privacy OP is being perhaps a little blase with "plausible deniability", or at least it may vary by region? I can see why such a jacket could be useful and why a cyclist or jogger or the like would wear one, same as other visibility enhancing gear. But at the same time I've never ever seen such a thing anywhere in our state. And on camera it apparently looks like a neon sign. Sure, that obscures your face, but at the same time it will instantly draw the attention of any human security watching or potentially of AI if it's been tasked to look for such outliers. If it caught on and a quarter or half or whatever people were wearing such things at night then that wouldn't matter again, but anything that makes one "unique" in a crowd, regardless of what it is, represents signal. If someone is the only one (or one of only a couple) wearing something like that then even without their face they could still be tracked uniquely just by that. And with advances in later generation biometrics like gait analysis wearing such a thing might not only fail to stop individualized identification, but also leak information in terms of "this person is trying to hide their identity" which might correlate to groups in ways hard to predict.

Of course again, that could be taken as an argument to try to make all this sort of thing more of a trend, but there is a first-mover calculation to make maybe depending on what someone is trying to accomplish. If one just wants to help hide others or mess around with camera tracking for the fun of it though that'd be no problem. It's the same kind of dilemma as all sorts of other "blend with the crowd" stuff, like Tor say. If everyone ran an onion router (ignoring current gen scaling issues) then there'd be zero signal from doing so, the protection offered would be strongest, and also the vast majority of traffic would be completely boring and legitimate because so would almost all the users. It'd be much harder to crack down on as well. If only a few people run it and specifically do so to conduct covert activity, well the mere act of doing so then potentially leaks a bit. And both sides are subject to reinforcing effects, if "everyone does it" and "it's normal" and "almost entirely legit" then that makes it easy for anyone new to join, constantly reinforcing the network. Conversely if it's something strange with whiffs of criminality, then many won't which in turn reinforces it being strange and those using it maybe having something suspicious going on. Bootstrapping that can be a tough nut.

Anyway just sort of thinking out loud so to speak. For cameras I'm leaning towards ultimately some sort of legal response being needed, and that individuals trying to evade it is probably a losing battle.
At approximately 5x5 miles, SF is one of the smallest American cities while having among the worst housing crunch in the world.

SF doesn't need high speed metro. Cheap options like BRT, trams & separated bike/scooter lanes solve most of its variable demand. In SF, the transit vs housing conundrum is trivial. Build transit, and remove height restrictions in a 1000-ft radius in each stops location.

LA is harder to remedy. The city is so catastrophically designed, that any fix will bleed money before it ever stabilizes. At the same time, LA's housing isn't as expensive as SF. So, they could start with focusing on public transportation exclusively. (BRT + park-n-rides seem perfect for LA) and worrying about the zoning later.
Honestly, I’m okay with holding companies responsible for the results of systems they set up. That it occurs in several steps with disparate actors at each point does nothing to absolve them of the overall effect.

And with regard to the short time since publication, I don’t think the clock starts when there’s negative PR about an issue, nor when they are informed about an issue. The clock starts at the point where, if the system were well-run, they would have become aware of the issue. That is, neither ignoring an issue nor cultivating silos of ignorance should garner any sympathy.

That doesn't make any sense. Based on a skim of the KDP site, it looks like they're using the spotify payment model. In other words, a portion of kindle unlimited subscription proceeds is used to pay authors that have enrolled their books to be available on kindle unlimited. The allocation is determined by some metric (eg. time spent reading book), but the total amount is fixed. It doesn't matter whether amazon offers 1M books or 100k books, or a user reads 1 book or 100 books, since the only thing that changes is how the amount gets distributed among the authors.

> Have you tried any GUI tool and found a less laggy one?

Sublime Merge is pretty laggy, but in a different way, that's more acceptable to me: it is asynchronous, so when I order Sublime Merge to perform an action on the git repo, I can still interact with the GUI, browsing the list of commits etc.

With Emacs and Magit the problem is that everything you do in Magit blocks the whole Emacs until Magit completes its work. Running magit-status means I can't type anothing in any Emacs buffer, issue Emacs commands, scroll, read through any Emacs buffer etc. for 28 seconds.

Even though GUIs often do more than CLI tools, they actually have more potential to be faster than CLI tools, because they can be asynchronous, whereas CLIs are completely blocking, running in a one-command-at-a-time mode. One example where GUIs are more efficient than CLIs are debuggers. Which demonstrates it can be done.

I see two main issues with Magit when it comes to performance:

1. It's blocking, not asynchronous.

2. It's written in ELisp, which is a fractal of bad decisions performance-wise.

> Is it still 5 times as laggy, once the initial magit-status is calculated?

It is.
I don't think this is true. The actual raw amount of land on plant earth is abundant, it's just that much of it is unattractive to modern humans due to not being hooked up to internet/electricity and not near interesting things like shopping or concerts.

I did a quick search and found many articles where states are encouraging people to homestead in unoccupied land as a form of development. (I will grant that this article was last updated 2014 and probably some things have changed, but it's hard for me to believe that it went from 100% to 0% over that time.)

https://www.cnbc.com/2010/11/16/7-Towns-Where-Land-is-Free.h...

I think it's actually really easy to go out into the middle of nowhere, have no master and claim some land, but this isn't really attractive as a way to live (actually homeless people do it downtown and even then it's kind of tolerated). People from 200 years ago didn't have a problem with it though...
