> Skyscrapers also have a footprint that might no be immediately obvious - it's their energy, water and food demand. Assuming they're inhabited by humans, what's the amount of agricultural land needed to provide for those humans? What's the energy demand, how many modular 100 MW nuclear power plants or hectares of solar PV panels (plus associated 24/7 storage/distribution centers) are needed to keep the elevator, lights, pumps, ventilation and heating/AC functioning? How much water do they consume daily?
That's the kind of 'skyscraper footprint analysis' that architects should be asked to submit for any building design.

We should either require this for all buildings or for none. People are gonna have to live and work somewhere. Typically the foot print of lower-density solutions in all ways you describe will be even bigger.

If we think a sustainability assessment on all new construction will help, that can be a reasonable argument. I caution though that all the friction in getting new construction approved is a big factor in our growing housing cost. So let's make sure any regulation truly carries it's weight.

I think in situation like these it is more likely than not that there is no actual objection, it is just one person wanting to cause problems. I seriously doubt anyone had a problem with using playing cards for a demonstration. This person just wanted to cause problems, much like the woke mind virus. No basis in reality, just power and disruption.
The only changes I have noticed as a user of search and maps over the past few years has been the intrusion of more and more ads. The MBAs are truly in the driver seat.

A pretty small Redis server can handle 10k clients and saturate a 1Gbps NIC. You'd need a pretty heavy duty Postgres database and definitely need a connection pooler to come anywhere close.

> There is a clear difference between Hustler and a graphic novel that contains some sexual representations.

Not in this case. Those images are 100% graphic porn (of the cartoon/hentai variety). I saw the pictures upthread. Porn that presents itself as "educational" is still porn (IIRC, that's also a actual real-people-having-sex porn genre).

> These books aren't attacked because they contain pornographic scenes. These books are attacked because of the people, identities, and viewpoints they represent and affirm.

You do realize those aren't mutually exclusive? The wrong people attacking it on the wrong grounds is not justification for stocking pornography in a school library.
But especially in the case of the aforementioned Xenoblade Chronicles X (i love that game, i think i put in about 300hrs back then) the second screen on the controller is not just a gimmick but actually useful - is this emulated as well? (sorry, a bit out of the loop in the whole emulation game)
Seems like an appropriate point to give credit to Robin Saxby who, with help from Acorn and Apple - notably the late Larry Tesler, devised the strategy and who then energetically made it work. Saxby is a great, engaging, interviewee.

You wanna tell me how you got from not wanting socialism to not paying taxes? Or do you think taxation is socialism?

And while we are here obviously I do my best to pay as little taxes as possible, but due to where I live I do end up paying more than 30% of my salary in taxes.

I wonder which cities are building the most sustainable environments the fastest, which cities are more livable.

While certainly skyscrapers are an engineering feat, I don't want to live in a city dominated by skyscrapers. I want to live in a city built for humans.
KQED pays NPR for NPR produced shows that KQED chooses to air. So, yes NPR gets some of that money indirectly. I believe it is possible to support NPR directly via their website.

I sort of do this already with my local public broadcaster. I give to OPB but I also make a separate donation to KMHD radio because I value what they are doing. The money all ends up under the same umbrella organization but I hope the separate stream shows that their listeners value this relatively small part of the overall mission.
Marketplace isn’t an “NPR” show. It’s owned by American Public Media.

I wonder if this page is more of a generic podcast feed and player
> Pretty large in scope with variability in success and budget[2]

Sound Transit would have better luck if they weren't forced to work under so many constraints.

Because money trickles in slowly, and because funding has to come from different cities in a predetermined way, they are stuck with speculators buying up property before Sound Transit is allowed to, and then selling it to ST for inflated prices.

Cities that need mass transit right now are not allowed to pay for transit to be built faster in their area.

And of course everyone loves to sue them, costing even more $.

I still have not figured out why the holy hell there isn't commercial real estate built along with all sound transit stations. We have these large expensive stations that are devoid of any commercial activity, meanwhile Japan sticks Michelin Star restaurants in their transit stations.

The Roosevelt station is a notable example of this, huge station, takes up lots of the block, and it is tall, why aren't there at least 2 or even 3 levels of retail space in it?
Take a running average and it will easily be differentiable. And you can set up a test for how aggressively and consistently it's turning toward the negative to say we're "heading for" a recession.

But also I don't like your definition of "heading for" at all. When I leave my house to go to work, I am not "heading for" my house, despite the fact that I will inevitably return.
I remember when Stadia was going to light the gaming world on fire the way Gmail did for email.. The product its self was good and they were maybe the only company in the world besides Microsoft with the resources to deliver it, but they bungled the launch and then let it rot for 3 years. In my opinion that product is the perfect distillation of Google's problems.
According to disclosures: Less than 1% of NPRs budget comes from government grants (https://www.npr.org/about-npr/178660742/public-radio-finance...). Other sources put it maybe as high as 4% (https://www.newsweek.com/where-does-npr-get-its-funding-call...) across all federal, state, and local funding.
the thing that annoys me most is when it gives a list of completion suggestions & when I not-so-critically select one of them, only to realize it has changed something in the original search terms. Seriously F*k Google for that.
For code - I can read the code and verify myself... If I was asking whether the sky is blue or some other kind of "fact" based question sure... But really how is that different with search? I can look at the website and say ah I trust this website over that other website... I think it's a new flavor of "don't trust everything you hear on the TV" Or in more modern day "Don't trust everything you read on the internet", or "Don't trust everything you hear on social media"... It's just the next iteration... "Don't trust everything an AI tell you". That is no different from me learning from code i find via search but instead ask about via AI...
Once you acknowledge their bias, they do know an awful lot about banking.
> With modern (even 90s) technology there is no reason why "Be able to prove that you checked their ID" has to mean "Keep their information on file."

But then...

> Then the government could, if investigating violations, ask for the encrypted info, decrypt it and see what ID the user provided and whether it (A) looked real enough and (B) matched the person who appeared.

Which would only be possible if the ID was kept on file.

So, that's not even close to being anonymous. I'm so glad I still live in an area where I don't have to register with the government in order to use the internet.

> 95% of undergrads live on campus.

Sure, but also most undergrads are not of drinking age, so a no drinking policy is not exactly the end of the world for them. They shouldn’t be drinking anyway.

> underage drinking was not policed

Not policing underage drinking is one thing. But chartered school organizations, throwing school approved events, on school property, with school funds is absolute something Stanford must police. You don’t need to have attended Stanford to understand why.

Are you confident that an audit would have uncovered this bug? I’d be surprised if audits are effective at finding subtle bugs and race conditions, but I could be wrong.
I guess so... I lost track:) The original comment seemed to imply that we had a coping system for understanding 3-D. I had an undergrad drawing class that started with Brunelleschi and framing tool he used to frame the Palazzo Vecchio. The story goes that he spent about 5 years trying to accurately reproduce what he saw in the frame. This is how he developed perspective. If one looks at the Plazzo Vecchio it looks like an obvious place to work on perspective.

There is another comment regarding a theory that Brunelleschi was influence by the book of optics and I can see an influence. I'm not sure how flushed out the perspective system is. I have only done a cursory look and the book argues that light in our eye on is perceived at right angles. Off angle light is not detected. I can see Brunelleschi reading that while studying the Plazzo Vecchio
and developing perspective.

I wasn't asking for clarification because I thought I understood your statement.

A few years ago we couldn't upgrade the kernel because XFS had a regression. Our choices were: revert the XFS changes in the newer kernel; backport security fixes to the version we were already using.

We went with the latter because our minimal attack surface made it unlikely that we'd need to backport many fixes, but it was always looming.
It's not weird at all, negative news makes people angry and anger gets you the most clicks by a wide margin.

Manchester, UK is likely missed on this list because it's not one of the "largest" cities in the world. But if we're just looking at skyscrapers added in the last 20 years, one thinks it should be included. The before and after of the skyline since 2000 is similar to those Asian cities (not quite the scale obviously, but similar in almost being unrecognizable).
It's used very widely in climbing as a lighter-weight alternative to nylon
I don't think this is a strong reason to infer something about Altman's character per se. I think more concerning is that the "Actions we've taken" portion of their blogpost about the incident are all relatively narrowly tied to _this specific issue_, and the "Where do we go from here" section just says that Redis is really valuable to them.

They do _not_ say, "here's a list of broad changes to our practices which will allow us discover similar issues before they reach production and touch customer data".
> its weighed in my balance by the fact that I'm contributing under the GPL

Are you sure you're contributing "under the GPL" though? It's common for such dual-license commercial projects to demand (lest contributions be ignored and not integrated) of external contributors that they agree to a Contributor License Agreement, which grants the dual-license commercial project the right to sublicense the contribution however they please… as opposed to being bound by the terms of the GPL like you would for their code. In the case of JUCE: https://cla.juce.com/

So it's really a totally asymetric situation:

* for their code: you either pay them a hefty price for a commercial license… or you only get it under GPL terms and thus have to release your own code using it under GPL as well (which effectively thwarts most monetization options for your work)

* for your contributed code: they don't pay you and (unlike the other way around) are NOT bound by the GPL but can sublicense your code however they please… and of course they make money with it, you don't.

Now I'm not saying that that would totally hold me off from contributing. It wouldn't bother me for small ad-hoc patches that I don't want to wait for them to fix. But it sure would be a disqualifying criterion for me when it comes to pouring in significant time of unpaid voluntary work. For that, I'd look for a more community-based project on an equal footing. But then again, to each their own criteria and evaluation.

> throwing the bill of rights out the window for asian americans. 99% of americans simply don't care, or actively encourage it.

I find that a little hard to believe...
Starting with This American Life, podcasts were a daily part of my life at home for more than 15 years.

Then the pandemic happened and for reasons I can't fully explain I just stopped listening to all of them. Part of it was the subject matter became less compelling. There were also internal drama issues like with Reply All and I just lost interest.

Kind of a shame as the podcast format is great way to consume media when you're primarily doing something else like cooking or doing the dishes.
I think if we don't recognize we're already waist-deep in a cold civil war (not only in America, but in most of the global 'West') we are delusional.

The common thread linking all these hypocritical examples of condoning or opposing are that people are supportive of people companies and products they believe advance their worldview while working for the destruction of the ones that oppose them.

The question people should be asking themselves now is which 'side' will work out better for you and your family in the long run?

Why is this reasonable? Children come in touch with porn at earlier and earlier ages and they may be very confused by that.

The school provides a good space to learn something a bit more realistic about sexuality at the appropriate ages. But of course as a european I know that the US in parts has extremely prude ideas (your censorship also affects us).

That being said, there are many modern nations where kids learn about sex in school for a while now, and they didn't develop psychological trauma or anxiety because of that (quite the opposite). It isn't as if there are no studies done in that field.

But prude morality seems to trump everything. Some don't seem to realize that supressing sexuality is something religions tend to do for a reason (and it is not the good of their hearts).
I don't think Sundar is bad per se. Rather, he is doing what most Googlers are doing which is resting and vesting off of that sweet ad money. It's unlikely that GPT is as monetizable as ads, so it's possible that he still loses even if he wins the AI race.

As for a better alternative I think that the Susan Wojcicki, the former CEO of YouTube, is highly underated. She made a lot of unpopular decisions for the public, but all of them successfully protected YouTube from existential threats (copyright holders, advertisers, and TikTok).

I don’t think that model has the properties you think it does. Someone still has to take call to back the operators. Someone has to build the signals that the ops folks watch. Someone has to write criteria for what should and should not be escalated, and in a larger org they will also need to know which escalation path is correct. And on and on — the work has to get done somewhere!
