I'd also cut down on your walking time by taking a bycicle - you could probably save 20 minutes by that alone. My wife also takes a bike ride to the train station (and she packs quite a few bags on the bike).

My mother-in-law operates the self-checkout lanes at a Kroger brand store in the midwest. The honor system definitely does not work there. Shoplifting is through the roof over the past couple years. It's gotten so bad that management is debating shutting off the self-checkout lanes.

A few months ago she was pepper sprayed after confronting a shoplifter who had an entire cart of things, but only scanned and paid for 3.

Then last month, someone came in and just wheeled out the entire tobacco shelving unit with a dolly.

These are just a couple egregious examples. We hear other shoplifting stories from her every week.

The police don't respond to shoplifting calls anymore, and the thieves know it. Employees are now instructed to not confront shoplifters in any way after she got pepper sprayed.

It's a total free for all. My mother-in-law estimates the theft to be $10,000 per day at her store.
Skeptical is putting it mildly. I'd give you better chances of having a secret proof of the Riemann Hypothesis than producing miracle educational results at scale (even if it is just on a standardized test).

If there's a limited number of seats, it's not "free for all". (Of course, there's no way around inherent class size limits under any system, other than MOOC's which are quite different from actual real-world college classes.)
With all due respect, that's not right. Any student attending a prep school from kindergarten, or otherwise very early, will have their development accelerated as compared to a child who attends an average school. The effect compounds with each year.

This doesn't somewhat improve college performance. It creates a markedly different brain and habits. An effect that declines as entrance into such a school system becomes later. Middle school being exceptionally late. High school being so late so as to have a marginal effect if any. Kindergarten being optimal.

Prep schools, generally speaking, only give basic test instruction for college entrance exams. Other standardized testing is the same or even less than normal schools. Cram-course style instruction is generally private and paid for privately by any given family. In my experience, the vast majority of prep school students don't seek it. This is in the United States.
> - Taiwan would willing reunify with the mainland. There would be no looming war

From what I've been told the younger Taiwanese tend to see themselves as Taiwanese, not Chinese. If mainland democratization happened early enough, maybe, but I don't see what a small country in Taiwan's position has to gain by merger with a larger one.

> - Silicon Valley would have been long overtaken by Shenzhen

To the extent the markets were fairly free before Xi's heavy handedness, why didn't this happen yet anyway? Silicon Valley is kind of unique even in the USA. I've read this is because of particularly startup-friendly California laws. Is there reason to believe these startup-friendly laws would have been duplicated in Shenzhen? Or some other reason to believe Shenzhen would have turned into a Silicon Valley rival otherwise?

> - the Chinese domestic market would have been opened up to the world long ago

Anti-import policies are adopted by democratic countries too.

I don't think this holds Nix back all that much.

There is a large overlap of users who like using the Nix package manager, & of those who like using NixOS. -- I don't think any official documentation refers to 'NixOS' as 'Nix'. Maybe in some discussions, people are imprecise.

I think a sample sentence like "I love Nix! I use NixOS as my daily driver" doesn't really conflate the two too much.

We were talking about inequality of opportunity. There are lots of sources of this inequality.

One example of government inequality is in sentencing of crimes. Also in arrests related to drug possession. Another example is tax breaks for the wealthy. And farm subsidies. Access to federal money for small businesses.
It feels sneaky because in these deals someone always seems to get rich except those who who were teased into investing their time (employees with “equity”) or invested with small-money (stockholders) rather than big-money (VCs, banks). I have no idea about the particulars of this deal, so maybe no individual got rich off the deal, and VCs/banks only recouped a portion of their investment. But in my experience, usually a failure still sends up as a success for those who are in a position to negotiate a deal. In other words, Nvidia didn’t do this deal out of the kindness of their hearts — there was still something of value to them that they paid for, and I’d be quite surprised if the board of 3dfx didn’t find a way to capture some of that value personally. Saying that “creditors get paid before shareholders” doesn’t capture the full story of most of these sales, where some equity owners are special and some aren’t.

I've been looking at github/smallstep to help with ssh. The only problems I've run into are traced to my past laziness (mostly surrounding oidc w oauth workflow (which is baked in if using Google orgs))

The docs are decent enough. The case I'm targeting is to use keycloak as the broker. Smallstep's DIY-OIDC doc was written a few years ago. At some point, since then, the keycloak client schema changed (I'll open a ticket with a working example when I achieve cluefulness).

When I started looking for OSS ssh CA management tools, Smallstep seems to be the only player left on the field, but the devs are responsive and they have a Discord setup for questions and discussion.

I think a core difference is that the law doesn’t stipulate that the land defaults back to the Crown after 100 years.

The difference is that in one system it’s symbolic and in the other system it has practical effects to manage ownership. I don’t think the Crown can decide, “I think we’ll just stop renewing the lease on this.”

> They stop and wait in the station until their time arrives.

So you're suggesting… they shouldn't follow a schedule?

The bus only ever needs to wait when there are no people getting on/off the bus at multiple stops in a row (e.g. at night-time), so then those stops will be skipped. As a consequence, the bus will be a few minutes ahead of time and so at some point the driver will stop and wait to make sure the bus is still following the schedule.

Sometimes the bus also needs to stop because drivers take their mandatory break. This usually happens at the end of the line, though, before they return or go on under a different line number.

In any case: I have yet to see a public transport system as good as Berlin's. Yes, it might still take you a while to get from A to B (it is a big city after all) but which other major city in the world offers reliable 24/7 public transport with great coverage and is not completely overloaded all the time? The only thing I dislike is the price for single tickets which is between 3.00€ and 3.80€ depending on the zone. (That used to be a kebap!) IMO they should finally put an end of all the free-riding (by both Berliners and tourists alike) and introduce electronic ticket checks at every stop.

I think people are missing the bigger picture, that's related directly to the SAT.

In the USA, public education funds are directly derived from the local tax base as a percentage of that revenue. If you live in a rich area, it means your family is also rich. The tax base, although it may be the rough same percentage, is much higher actual dollars than a small non-rich community.

I even see that locally in my nearby college town. There's definitely a "rich district". Homes go from $750k up to $5m. Their elementary has teachers and aides to cover students at 7:1, and flush with a wealthy technology budget. The other schools, or in particular, the "subsidized housing and trailer parks area's schools" have student coverage around 25:1, no teacher aides, and very limited tech budget.

This should be of little surprise given how our education system by default teaches the wealthy to be wealthy. And that starts as early as preschool and easily onwards through public school. And naturally, I didn't even touch upon private schools. And in my state, vouchers can be used from public schools on private and even religious schools. That too is an even higher rung on elitism.

Unless you're a genius from a poor family, you're likely going to stay in the "dumb and low paying" jobs for most of your lives.

I don't think that people use cars because it's cheaper. Owning and using a car in Germany is pretty expensive and public transport probably was already cheaper for the vast majority of use cases.
Long term China could be (already is being) replaced by countries like Vietnam and India as manufacturers. Possibly growing African countries like Nigeria as well. Chinese labor isn’t globally that cheap anymore but they do have the existing infrastructure
I’d be just as skeptical. It’s something that would require strong evidence and I’m providing you none.

Most of your articles are fantastic and very factual vs vendor orientated and I LOVE that. Would you be able to do a few posts on the topics above and how the google ads/analytics changes/lawsuits CCPA/CCPR, VA Data Privacy laws, are changing the digital advertising industry client-delivery metrics? For instance, I will fully admit that I don't understand the way Analytics and Ads actually tie-in together in terms of the digital ads sales process. Is everything going to be de-anonymized and non-targeted in the future? Is targeting by geographic location acceptable? How does this stuff affect things like print mailers and CRM platforms and how do the metrics change using something like simpleanalytics vs google analytics tracking? I understand more privacy, unique page views from referring URLs, but what are the differences, or should I say difficulties, I should expect in reporting to clients their website tracking and ad campaign tracking?

I hobby breed grapes (hybridize wild source NA vitis with vinifera, mostly), so this topic interests me.

I believe I saw a similar study some years ago that similarly identified at least two original population sources for domestication of vinifera; an "oriental" (southern/eastern) source and the Georgian/Caucasian source. There was also a mention of v.sylvestris populations out of the Iberian peninsula maybe having contributed. I believe Patrick McGovern (expert / author on "Ancient Wine") has talked about this.

(Aside: FWIW the centres of diversity (and therefore origin) for the Vitis genus are Eastern North America, and China. Europe has basically 1 species of vitis: vinifera/sylvestris. There are dozens in E.NA and China, with a startling array of useful genetic traits. Europeans and wine snobs generally will eventually have to come around to abandoning their 'racial purism' and embracing the richness of this genetic diversity in terms of disease/cold/heat resistance. Vinifera/sylvestris is extremely... weak and sickly at this point, when put up against the challenges of disease/pests/climate)

Haven't read the papers yet, but I am skeptical of the ability to do good genetics here because of the amount of leakage of domesticated vinifera genes back into wild populations. Domestic cultivation of grapes has gone on so long and is so geographically prevalent and leaky that I doubt the existence of any pure "wild" populations. What might be identified here is simply in fact selective breeding/trading-of-varieties in the 2-3 different viticultural cultures in the regions: emphasis in the south and east was for table grape or (in ancient times) high sugar sweet wine production with grapes that can survive the intense heat. In the north, dry table wine production, less emphasis on sugars, and survivability of cold and frost is more important.

In fact, much of the 'wild' v.sylvestris populations in Europe have been shown to be chock full of North American wild vitis (Vitis riparia, rupestris, etc) genes because of the presence of inter-specific hybrid producers and rootstocks in European vineyards for over 100 years.

Vitis hybridizes extremely easy. Happens all the time in the wild, and produces totally viable and interesting grapes. (Apart from v.rotundifolia split very early from the main family tree and has 40 chromosomes instead of 38, but that has also been hybridized).

I'd like to see studies like this that sample the genetics from grape seeds ("pips") found in archeological sites.

If the goal is cashierless, why not just have a store full of vending machines? You pick what you want, tap your card or phone, then you get it, then walk out.
Cause if you're a tourist you're expected to spend money and a small price hike compared to locals won't impact your decision one way or the other.

I also had this reaction a couple of years ago when my city started to introduce special touristy pricings, but nowadays I don't think it's a bad thing. The local government introduced a special "city card" which is essentially a museum card + hotel discounts + free public transport (within the city) + cheaper or free access to all touristy spots. If you travel on a budget, you just have to jump through an overtly advertised hoop, and if you can't be arsed to do so you end up paying a little bit extra. Locals don't have to bother, as showing our local ID is enough to "unlock" lower pricing. Win-win in my book.
>I wanted to be able to just go in a store and grab a juice or an apple and then leave the store.

So, basically something a vending machine could provide?

They were trained in fp16, and researchers tend to release whatever format they trained. It’s hard enough to do a large release that it’s best not to try to have too many goals, for the same reason most software projects try not to do too much lest their schedule slip.

Please be more specific -- are you arguing it should have more milk protein or more cocoa protein? And what ingredient should those replace by mass?

The top ingredients in order are: "Sugar, Whole Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass". The chocolate is 28% cocoa solids. [1] Sounds like high-quality milk chocolate to me. (And there's no vegetable oil or anything.)

Do you think Toblerone should be less sweet? Because milk chocolate is always sweet, I don't know of any brand that doesn't have sugar as the first ingredient.

My grandparents used to live in a small village (rural U.K.). The village shop was tiny, just a few shelves and a fridge with basics. No checkout, no cameras, often no volunteer (definitely no paid staff). They just wrote down what they took in a little book and paid at the end of the month.

In small enough groups where there is a good sense of community it’s amazing what can work.
