> even most of Manhattan wouldn't be called walkable even thought it's the most walkable city in the US!

You missed the high speed requirement. A low-speed road is radically safer than a high speed road for a pedestrian.

> once it's my turn I cross the road with cars traveling at 0mph since they all have a red light

You hope. Cars in the 'burbs are notorious for not actually stopping and for hitting pedestrians.
I agree - not taxing something ordinarily taxed is very much in the vein of "giving" money. I'm a little surprised at the disagreement, but I guess it depends on a persons point of view.
Okay, cool. So as long as there's never a natural/man-made disaster that disturbs said pool, no problem. Good thing that would never happen in a place like Georgia.

And yeah, eventually we'll take care of it. Just like we've been saying for 50 years.
It's basically Newcastle coal roads all over again, with the competition from the canal haulers upsetting the rentier sector. The only real solution is the same as with the roads: no limitations on access, and if congestion is an issue, use the tax revenues to broaden to the roads to handle the increase in traffic. The government manages the roads, but if they need to buy material (steel, or fiber), then submit competitive contracts to the private sector.

Of course, wannabe fascists and the like will try to control the flow of information for their own reasons, nothing new about that either.
Yeah, that's particularly the case if you're contracting: they'll advertise the hourly pre-super rate more often than not.
You have to use it, obviously, but it should be used for side effects primarily. A good indicator is if all the values in your dependency array are react props/state, you're doing it wrong.
>but that want is itself manufactured by the economy.

Is that an issue? There's not much demand for 8k ohm SMD resistors from people, but people do want smartphones that require 8k ohm SMD resistors to manufacture. The same applies for stuff like managers and other "bullshit jobs". Nobody wants them, but they're nonetheless required to keep the company/economy humming along. And if they're actually not required, then the economy that supposedly cares what's "economically most efficient" should have eliminated them.

>There is no such thing as an unregulated market

Something something semantics... something something I'm not a native English speaker something something... I will use the correct definitions from now on though, so thanks for correcting.

>No, a market in which consumers are either unable to perceive quality, or are unwilling to take the time to do so (possibly for rational reasons such as the lack of time or the product being so cheap that it's not worth the effort) will always promote marketing over quality.

And as I said, ideally this wouldn't be the case. However, we are living in the real world where every statement in this sentence is unfortunately the case.

>all that is really happening is that the biggest players are getting further entrenched because the cost of regulatory compliance shuts out potential competitors.

While this may be true with some regulations, in this specific example it is the exact opposite. A fresh company with little capital won't be able to afford a razor and blades model the same way a giant company like HP can. An outside regulation that protects the consumers' interests will serve to make the playing field more even, giving the new company higher chances of actually succeeding. It reduces the risk of startups, because with correct rules higher quality/cost ratio guarantees higher success.

>it means consumers make the choice of whether or not to be sheep, and take the consequences

That only works if consumers actually know what the consequences are. As I said, there are probably countless purchasing decisions that you and I make that we don't even know are dumb. Everyone thinks they know the best for themselves until they find out their knowledge is negligible compared to what they don't know.

Voting with your wallet doesn't work when the default for "not voting" is "I agree" and people don't care about voting.

All of the achievements of humanity comes from collaborative effort, whether it be cumulative knowledge, joining of powers or protecting each-other's interests. Total individuality would only end up with the absolute domination of first-movers: people who managed to leave individuality behind and work as a group. The best way we currently have to avoid this is to have a democratic, all inclusive government that decides what rules we should set and follow.
You are not robbed as a matter of course. The government takes your taxes as a matter of course. Not taxing you (by giving you a 10k tax deduction, for example) is, in a practical sense, basically identical from the government's perspective as giving away money.
Alan Kay: Doing with Images Makes Symbols
I have always felt that the embrace of "AI can be dangerous" comes from an elitist fear of capitalist class that the "unwashed masses" will have too much access to technology and will make capital, as well as labor, obsolete.

I mean if everybody has a super-smart personal assistant in their home, who thinks independently, why would they need or want a ruling class, when we can simply have democratic socialism?
Interesting idea, would be interesting to see how this gets shaped as a full fledged product.
> It's pretty hard to be pro-"safety" on things like social media, news, AI, etc., and then turn around and say with a straight face that infrastructure shouldn't be allowed to be moderated.

It's only hard if you're willfully ignoring the distinction people are making, which is that ISPs are "dumb pipes" operating in a government-sanctioned oligopoly. Just like broadcast networks, the privilege of using a limited public resource (underground cabling, bandwidth, whatever) comes with regulations.

Social media, on the other hand, isn't borrowing a finite resource from taxpayers. It's a fungible resource and can exist in a competitive environment, which we've seen with the rise of TikTok and everyone else's blatant copying of TikTok.

And most importantly, no one is forcing them to censor themselves. They're bowing to protests and market forces. Libertarians are always whining about how there isn't enough competition, and then they whine when the invisible hand makes a decision they don't like.
It is not in any way illegal for an ISP to block or throttle access to a certain hostname or IP it doesn't like, now that Net Neutrality is dead in the USA.

Also, there is no reason to think that Starlink (even if it could ever hope to have the capacity to compete with broadband and fiber at the national level, which it can't) wouldn't also become censorius. Musk is notoriously censorius of any competitor or detractor, so all it takes is him souring on Web 3 for it to become banned from Starlink. ATT and others at least care more about the money than any personal grudges of their CEOs.
An explanation to normies would be: "Chatgpt is like a wunderkind that has read all the books in the world and memorized them. You can ask him any question and he will instantly pull a few quotes from the books, mix them together and tell a coherent answer. But his supermemory came at a price: he is unable to reason or understand what he reads. He sees words as pictures."
That's a pretty poorly designed switch, if your intention is to turn off the microphone while otherwise using the system.
It's better than not having any way to disconnect the microphone, but strictly inferior to any system where you can toggle the desired state at any time.
Do you mean have library B built with its own separate copy of the new version?

e.g. You have Library A using LibDependency-1.0.0 and Library B using a separately compiled LibDependency-2.0.0? Then have MyAwesomeApp linking LibA and LibB and just accept the binary+memory overhead of two copies (albeit different versions) of LibDependency?

Reader View has been a life saver. Many sites I have it turned on by default now.
Quite the relevant article you have there.

Fracking is bad for the environment. Balancing 'the United States and Earth will not become inhabitable to humans within 500 years' with 'our oil companies want cheaper product and less overhead' is a pretty big challenge, but it's safe to say that Russia is more interested in short-term gains than the US is (and is a large part in why the US is pushing EV adoption).
What did you mean by the word “okay” if you didn’t mean to imply that the author had any opinion on that process?

I’ve now asked you in multiple ways what you meant by that phrasing!

edit: I’ll make it even easier, since you don’t seem to want to answer that question. How about this:

What was the topic of these sentences?

> If a pastor uses the church pulpit to convince their flock to vote a specific way, that's okay from your definition. If a well-loved ceo at a company spontaneously meets with the employees in the breakroom, over their free coffee and free lunch, and decides to use that pulpit to convince people to act a certain way politically, that's okay from your definition.
There is a saying: "What's good for the goose is good for the gander"

To clarify what I mean by “what is the topic”, I mean

1. What was your purpose in bringing up your example of a well-loved ceo when nobody else had? What were you trying to illustrate?

2. If you weren’t commenting on somebody’s perceived moral statement, did you share the goose and gander quote as a completely unrelated fun fact for everyone to enjoy?

Was it some sort of fun little moral lesson unrelated to the rest of the content of your post, like the text on a popsicle stick or Snapple cap?
If the market weren’t in decline, maybe. But to pipedream a little:

A standardized control board (imagine if it were something like an RPi), with modular carriage (available in several sizes, including capable of 11x17” or A3), with changeable print heads (CMYK, or just a massive black, or hell, pen plotter).
Don't call this functional programming. If you call setCount() then this is not functional because your function is doing something besides returning a value. In fact, it is setting state, which is against FP principles.
> On the state/city level, all the money is going to former employees for labor performed in previous decades. The scheme is voters today purchase government employee labor for lower cash outlay today hence lower taxes today, then subsequent taxpayers pay higher and higher taxes as the can gets kicked down the road.

This is why contracting out services makes public sector CFOs so happy.

Replace a large % of your civil servant workforce with a company that specializes in that one function, eat potentially higher or inflated OPEX, but no long-term costs regarding pensions. If the requirement for services change, scale down the contract.
But who, specifically? I haven’t heard of anyone demanding this.
People don't care. They talk about caring, but when push comes to shove 90% of consumers will buy whatever is cheapest at that moment. If your $200 printer that will let you use whatever ink and whatever cartridge you want is competing with a $189 HP printer that will lock you in to its nonsense, HP is going to eat your lunch all day every day.

Because the simple fact of the matter is that if people did care, what you're describing is exactly what would happen. HP (or someone else) would do something like this, a competitor would start buying ads talking about their open source ink cartridges and HP would start losing market share.
Burning fossil fuels produces more net harm than any amount of radioactive waste ever will. Radioactivity just manages to be scarier than air pollution and climate change because our psychology doesn't map well to reality because we evolved to be afraid of fast-moving problems, not slow-moving ones.
The Goal-Setting Conundrum
In a large organization it's unrealistic to know everybody. I think you're missing my point - the HR lady could be a chat bot in this, dark future.
Most of that issue isn't "serverless" itself, but the other things in the ecosystem it might talk to. A generic python AWS lambda is easy enough to simulate locally with nothing other than python and calling your lambda handler from main with a little boilerplate.
Publishers developed an industry of sensitivity editors, and they’ve mostly been effective in helping new work maintain an author’s vision while avoiding scandal (scandals are more expensive than editors). For new work, it’s a collaborative editing process no different than line editing for style/grammar or story editing for engagement, and authors are involved in the process.

But what happens any time you have a whole department built around a new process? Some exec tries to start using it in new places.

Thankfully, performing sensitivity edits to reprinted classics seems to be producing its own scandals and — since the whole thing is about avoiding scandals (to the publisher) - hopefully it won’t last.
a guess : the conflict inherent with the decision creates renewed interest in older franchises.

might be a way to trade some short-term public outrage into revenue.
That was my thinking. In Austral that is a thing, but in c++ not so much. And if you are building the dependency from source, which is pretty common, the common build systems are all Turing complete themselves so they can take over your pipeline and do bad things.
Been with a laser Brothers for 10 years. Switched to a newer one 5 years ago but it’s only because I needed the wifi feature. Works great, no bullshit update software, stays connected to my wifi, never had to fight drivers or anything to get a new Mac connected to it.

It would've also protected Prodigy Services if it existed at the time of this lawsuit[0]. Congress created 230 because they don't want service hosts being sued for millions for cultivating UGC on the internet (which, in turn, enabled the US to head up the boom of the internet economy), it's just that over time consumers chose big social media instead of random forums (and Reddit became the place to go for interest-base discussion).

It does. Imagine if Netflix bandwidth were prioritized over an upcoming new company called Disney+. Netflix would cost $18/month and you still would have no choice.

>In contrast with stimulus checks, for example, which were given, because even if you earned no money at all you still got them.

At the end of the day, there's no difference from a fiscal perspective between handing a company a $1M check and giving them a $1M tax deduction. While I agree that this is technically a distinction (ie. tax deductions require a tax liability to actually be used, as opposed to cash which can be spent as-is), I don't think it's relevant here because the companies were already known to be making money. Even if they had a bad year and the tax credits could only be used on profits, they'd likely turn a profit sooner or later.
I too didn't finish it - assuming it's "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality".

I got caught up by the multiple times the main character made sweeping assessments of things with insufficient information, and just happened to be right by accident (or author fiat I guess). The main characters figure things out by Thinking Really Hard, and experimentation is only ever done to prove they were right all along to other characters.

That's an arrogant character who keeps falling into the right answer, not a scientist.
I recently got an M2 Macbook Pro to replace my 2017 Macbook Pro (with that awful keyboard and the touch bar), and my biggest take away is that I'm glad Jony Ive left.

People keep saying I’m “anti woke and anti tran$”.

But it’s things like this that give me pause. Why not just not read the books you don’t like??

I love to re-read books I like every few years.

Similarly If someone said that people should accept the fine ladies from the local gentleman’s clubs coming over to teach an 8 year old kid about their lives - everyone would be up in arms.

Instead why not allow the fine ladies from the gentleman’s club to teach their 8 year old kid these things at home and then the local butcher can teach their 8 year old kid about their lives and principles at their home also? Shouldn’t classrooms be for the basics?

And I (as a 58 year old black man) loved the original little mermaid! I remember going to see it with my girlfriend decades ago - was a magical day.

Instead of changing the original story and characters, why not do something original instead?

See how all of this stuff does not make sense anymore?

Now because my eyes are going bad I listen to audible. Will I have to listen to a changed version of these books instead?

The world has gone mad.

> Comcast extends delay on debuting data caps in the Northeast

> Following a multi-month suspension of its usage-based policy during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, Comcast restored and updated its data usage policies in July 2020, raising the monthly limit to 1.2 terabytes – 200 gigabytes more than the 1TB limit that was in place prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. Under the revised data plan, residential broadband customers who exceed 1.2TB of data per month are charged $10 for each additional bucket of 50GB, up to a maximum of $100 per month (Comcast's maximum data overage charge prior to the pandemic was $200). Comcast also sells a standalone unlimited data option that costs an additional $30 per month.

I suspect it is a kind of niche market as my kids tell me that "nobody prints things, we have it on our phone!" which I kind of understand, but point out you don't need multiple monitors to do code development if you have listing printed out :-).

I personally think efuels are a good idea, it'll create infrastructure needed to support ALL the legacy cars that will continue to exist in the used market at 2035. They can do an efuel phase-out over the next few years banning all combustible sales including used cars by say 2050.
>No things should be left to government regulators.

I really can't understand this point of view. If one supports the existence of any law, including things making murder illegal, this view becomes inconsistent. Why is outside regulation of our daily lives okay but market isn't? If one thinks there should be no laws, no governments and we should live in complete anarchy, you are still wrong, but at least they are consistent.
I used a DECSYSTEM-20: it had variable "byte" size.. for ASCII you could (and normally did) pack 5 7-bit bytes into its 36-bit words. There were instructions to read and write bytes of any size you want out of these words.

The C compiler used 9-bit bytes, just to make pointer arithmetic simpler.
All the more reason the issue needs to be fixed at the level.
