For some reasons, every area in close proximity to airports with moderate to high piston engine aircraft traffic have exceptional high local exposure (according to EPA). There could be a correlation or even a causation link. EPA at least think so, which is why they changed the rules in 2008 by issuing a new minimum standard.

The new replacement fuels are good, but they have one general large drawback. They require a recertification of the engine/frame of the plane. According to the lobby group AOPA, it will cost the industry in excess of $150 billion annually in the US alone.

In response, EPA issued an statement that there will be no phase-out date for planes to meet the new minimum standard, saying that it is the FAA responsibility to issue a process so that airplanes fulfills the new minimum standard. The FAA in turn said that regulating lead in avgas is an EPA responsibility, and they will not issue a phase-out date for planes to meet the new minimum standard.

That has been the last word from both agencies since 2010.

Yes, but mostly for sites I go back to a lot so that Firefox auto completes the address for me. I do have a few pages that looked interesting at the time but that I never go back to. For long-form textual content I have started using Wallabag to save it down for offline use.
On flooding the Internet with generated content, the cat is out of the bag. There are already people paid to create lots of "personal" accounts and then create content like posts or reviews. This entire "industry" is getting transformed as we speak to AI-generated content.

I think this is unavoidable.

I think (at least I really wish) there is a chance that young people will rebel and will decline using the Internet and instead learn to cherish personal contact. It make take a generation for this to happen (ie. current children to find out how miserable the Internet is in couple of years). It is also possible that certified human-generated content will become a luxury that you will have to pay extra.

It may take some time for people to catch on, but they will find that trying to interact with a website flooded with bots is meaningless, rewardless. Even Internet trolls will stop getting their kick. Internet will become a cesspool where nobody ventures for fun because there is no fun to be had.
2.5G or even 10G is not that much more expensive and companies making consumer electronics sell it as a considerable premium for what is essentially the same cost difference as making a 8gb vs 16 gb flash drive. Of course, regular internet users don't need more than 2.5G (and couldn't use it in most of the world due to ISP monopolies) so anything faster than gigabit is a target for segmentation.

>The body has plenty of functions that are best left on their default settings or minimized.

We're arguing what the 'default' is. I'm arguing the default state is with lead. It would be strange for a protein to evolve to get so easily activated by a toxin.

>To show it's healthy you'd need studies showing better health of exposed people, or at least some theoretical reason you'd want lead to make it even plausible.

I thing it's completely uncontroversial that the current typical human health is at the historic rock bottom.

There is no reason theoretical or not to believe it is toxic in the first place, except for the strange claim that the body uses it in error.

>The neanderthals probably ate stuff from lead rich soil or something, that doesn't prove it wasn't harmful.

That's an absurd claim, and really grasping at straws, don't you think? Mote that the remains aren't many. It isn't that they sieved through thousands of teeth to find a couple that were poisoned.
What's your specific problem tih the error handling? What is 'inproper' about it?

The article seems to have accomplished what they needed with Zig's error handling, they just quibbled over the syntax.

Ethernet was always inefficient, with a crazy amount of unused legacy space reserved in an unnecessarily large header. CSMA/CD for contention was one of the ugliest medium access solutions imaginable. The coax implementation needing termination plugs was also ugly. Its advantage was cost, having had no license fees, making it suited to consumer/commercial applications driving economies of scale. It's the VHS of datacomms.

It's evolved, thankfully, but it remains an ugly, inefficient standard that only has life because of its legacy. And it's been increasingly jimmied into professional, carrier applications for which it was never intended and where far superior, though more expensive solutions already existed.

That's not to say its creators don't deserve credit. It did its job well enough for its early days. But that's why this award comes too late. Because now Ethernet is the bloated, inelegant dinosaur we've built an ecosystem around, but to admire it is to forget the competitors it drove to extinction along the way.

If you want total control over your hardware, you're free to use machine code.
Is a type system a leash? I mean surely you want to interpret memory however you want without the language getting in the way of forcing you to use methods.
Are unique/shared pointers a leash? Or the borrow checker? They restrict what you can do with your objects because you're a poor programmer who can't code correctly. No true developer needs memory safety.
Are calling conventions a leash? Surely you know better how to manage the stack and registers and everyone else should listen to you and do it the way you prefer.

Because they aren't and never will be "micro". Every single media I saw trying this eventually comes to the multiple dollars, or tens of dollars per single purchase of a single digital item (post, video, recording etc). That's not sustainable for majority of people, and of course fails. Unless a specific type of people become interested in it, commonly known as "whales", who can sustain a lot of expensive single purchases. And it's a reinforcing loop - since more money comes from a few "money is no issue" crowd, creators are increasing prices to extract more money from this crowd, more people are filtered out and more whales are left, the prices increase again and so on.
> ...for transmission lines to be constructed, each of the affected utilities, their respective regulators, and the landowners who will host a line have to agree where the line will go and how to pay for it, according to their own respective rules.

To my knowledge none of these rules affect gas or oil pipelines. They are ordered from a higher level and the landowners and towns will just have to deal with it.
We need to embrace AI with open arms.
Bob has been an active member of the Austin startup community for 10+ years and I've talked with him many times. As a EE, it was cool meeting him the first time and once I'd chatted with him a few times, I finally asked the question I'd been dying to ask: How'd you come up with "Metcalfe's Law"?

Metcalfe's Law states the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of devices of the system.

When I finally asked him, he looked at me and said "I made it up."

Me: .. what?

Him: I was selling network cards and I wanted people to buy more.

Me: .. what?

Him: If I could convince someone to buy 4 instead of 2, that was great. So I told them buying more made each of them more valuable.

It was mind blowing because so many other things were built on that "law" that began as a sales pitch. Lots of people have proven out "more nodes are more valuable" but that's where it started.

He also tells a story about declining a job with Steve Jobs to start 3Com and Steve later coming to his wedding. He also shared a scan of his original pitch deck for 3Com which was a set of transparencies because Powerpoint hadn't been invented yet. I think I kept a copy of it..

It's quite common to feel afraid of the new: it's an essential survival mechanism. However, just because we get that feeling initially, doesn't mean we should always trust it over a lived experience. People for all time have experienced this feeling when doing something new: riding a bike, driving in a car, and first week of kindergarten. What makes us the hyper adaptable omnivores we are is our ability to become desensitized via repeated exposure to things that aren't real threats.

And of course, sometimes we've gotten complacent and made an error, like lead in gasoline. But that's why we study everything to try to ensure we are improving.
That's not what happens when you sign a contributor license with Adobe, Getty, Shutterstock or other stock image libraries... These companies pay you 0 until the time a customer of theirs acquires a license to reproduce the image you contributed. Only at that point do you get paid a percentage of the license fee. Currently nobody has been paid anything by Adobe for their stock images used in the training (at least as far as I know).

You take picture of a ROM because in the past we did not have technology to have permanent non-volatile storage on a chip. We later had eproms and eeproms which were programmable and re-programmable but they were also expensive and problematic.

So the main solution to have any programming on the chip was to actually etch it permanently. That's why we can read it today.

I think that’s beside the point. There’s probably professional pilots active today that “grew up with tablets” but I don’t think anyone wants cockpits to replace knobs and levers with touchscreens.

In a car you can get away with this kind of compromise because there’s an idea that it’s what people “want”, but my personal opinion is that car makers have a responsibility to ensure that design changes they make do not impact the safety of drivers, and I have a hard time thinking that isn’t a problem with touchscreens, because you simply cannot interface with the car anymore without averting your eyes the same way you can with actual buttons.
Ok so you take deposits, which are a short term liability and you've got cash money you have to do something with.

1) Buy loads of long term debt and some swaps.

2) Buy less long term debt than that and t-bills.

These two options are exactly equivalent from a financial perspective. Same risk, same reward, quite similar costs.

If instead you've bought loads of long term debt and not hedged, why did you do that? This is the nub of the thing. Why? Because you couldn't make it pay otherwise with the given market conditions? So you took a punt on inflation and the official rate staying low? Could you have done that differently? Should you have? What were the implications for your business if you didn't take a massive bet on interest rates?

Swaps are entirely beside the point here. Swaps here are just "hey let's not actually make the bet we just went out of our way to make." It's likely going to cost you a little more than not exposing yourself to that risk in the first place. It's like betting on both teams in the superbowl. The house takes a cut.

"Should have hedged with swaps" misses: "why did they have an exposure of that size at all?" Recklessness? Idiocy? Should they be prosecuted for extreme negligence? Were they between a rock and a hard place and took a fairly desperate measure? (Which I'm also not excusing either fwiw).
In the US almost all mortgages are fixed rate, so the monthly payments don't change. The interest rate does not change for the life of the mortgage, often 30 years. Because a mortgage can be refinanced, this causes a downward ratchet on interest rates for mortgages over time. This is one of the ways in which a mortgage is a hedge against inflation and rising costs. There are tens of millions of Americans with a mortgage rate in the 2.5-3.5% range because the mortgages pre-date the current rise in interest rates.

What this does impact is the ability of people to move houses, since a new mortgage would be priced to current market conditions.
So they’re sticking with using confusing adjectives. It has to be intentional then. My mom eats vegan foods and sometimes gets just an egg on a sandwich if she asks if they have “just egg”. Imagine the confusion. “Let’s go to ${restaurant}.” “Do they have good meat?” “Yeah, it’s great!”
I wonder if it's actually being updated quickly. I think it'd be much easier to train it to use google's search index as a tool in a way hidden from the user.

I don't think there is any basis to say too much money printing caused inflation. There were many countries with even lower rates for many years and no inflation to speak of to the point of it becaming problematic.

What caused this wave of inflation was supply taking a hit. Fallout from COVID and then war in Ukraine. It was difficult to get many good which normally were easily available. It's not rocket science either: inflation is about always caused by falling demand. It doesn't matter how much the government prints. When bread is hard to get people will exchange a lot to get a loaf.

If anything it seems like overreaction by the feds to raise the rates so much. It's not like them reducing access to capital magically makes goods appear on the shelves.

To build on your comment, although it's been years since I studied Ethernet in depth...

- (On the bus thread) Ethernet started from an assumption of bad behavior (out of spec cabling, misbehaving clients, etc.) and tighten requirements just enough to construct a useful network. Much better balance between de facto ruggedness vs performance than its peers.

- From the beginning, Ethernet reasoned that it was cheaper to put logic in purpose-built networking hardware than endpoints (i.e. PC network adapters). This was a better scaling tradeoff. 1x $$$ network device + 100x $ client adapter vs 1x $$ networking device + 100x $$ client adapter.

- Because of the above, you started to get really cost- and data-efficient networks when the cost of Ethernet switches plummeted. (Remember, in early Ethernet days, networks were hub/broadcast-only!)

I recently got grossed out enough to give up sushi after watching a video of workers using tweezers to deworm the meat and learning that it's common in all sushi restaurants to have to do that.

Between that and having several friends overseas who ate "natural" pork and now have intramuscular larvae for life, I'd agree that lab grown meat almost certainly sounds a lot cleaner.
Google+ was excellent. I liked the social graph that was the "circles" (nice data mining of my effort to create the circles google) - this was in the days where when you posted to social media you were posting to people no to public.

Now that I think about it, my whatsapp groups intersect in a similar manner, and people post (manually) the same thing to multiple groups, but not every group we have in common.
I was trying this and that, and what worked for me was having an external PCIe drive (thunderbolt+nvme).

I did not manage to boot from USB drive at all.
