That one is specifically for Paris as seen by a Parisian. I would not argue that's the case globally, and there are certainly studies showing otherwise in other contexts.

Usage of e-scooter and e-bikes decreases car traffic yes. But does banning rental e-scooter (not personal e-scooters, and not e-bikes) lead to an increase in car traffic? In Paris, I argue that no it won't, or if it does it will be negligible.

> There are other points though, "last mile" is a difficult problem

That's not true in Paris. Paris has very good public transportation. There are bus and subway stations everywhere. It's not the case outside of Paris intra-muros, but here I'm specifically talking about Paris intra-muros, because the ban only apply to that location.

> it's not solved with rental bicycles either (they are usually very few and far between).

That's not true in Paris. The city rental bicycles are omnipresent and cheap. Even though I own a good bike, I use those as well, in cases I don't want to take my own bike. And there are other rental e-bikes (by the same company that do rental e-scooters)

In general, personal e-scooters are considered fine. Their owners don't behave nearly as bad as rental e-scooters.

The speed limit, as far as I know, is the same for any e-bike/e-scooter: 25km/h. Otherwise it's in a different class (same as a moped) and is no longer allowed on bike lanes (which doesn't prevent people from doing so, but so far they are few and far between).
I'd agree with that about driving behaviour around visible children. It's considered to be something that would improve cycling safety too: more cyclists creates greater awareness in general, and safety for further cyclists.

One thing I've noticed is that at a school near me, the school zone signs about driving speed are often shadowed/obscured by parked parents and trees from above. Stops it from being front of mind. That school has been there and I've driven past it for decades, but as you said, often it takes seeing a family in the area to remind me that it's a school zone and in school hours, since I'm usually driving past at other times of day.

I participated in a citizen's panel for community road safety years back and thought that there should be a broader zone for a block or two surrounding schools. It wouldn't necessarily be as strict as 25km/h, but maybe 35km/h and rendered differently - coloured line markings, kerb colours, no hanging foliage or bushes higher than 300-500mm, more limitations on parking. Right now, parents compete to drop kids as close as possible to school, to minimise road crossings. Give them more confidence to drop kids further away. Limits congestion and builds autonomy in the kids.

Looks like it will be reverted because it introduced some regressions and as far as I understand, there was no magic in the end, but there was a ton of drama around it.

Most of the drama is contained in this thread, if you like reading this sort of stuff:

> I firmly believe that people running the scooter rental companies know that they can only succeed by destroying public transit.

This is irrelevant for cities with dense metro network like Paris. Rental scooter and bikes are just complementing the public transit offer. They also allow to have a lower load in the public transit, which is a benefit in place where the public transit is already overloaded at rush hours.

I like Mullvad but it can actually be challenging to purchase a subscription in the US. Most prepaid cards block the purchase. Sure, you can use it with a fully tracked card etc. but that's not really the target audience.
What changes is that they add a new buffer chip on the dimm (the multiplexer), that all the memory chips talk to. This multiplexer can then connect to more memory chips than before without channel noise issues, allowing higher speeds on the interface.

The downside is that minimum transfer unit for full bandwidth goes from 64B to 128B, while on x86 cache line width is 64B.

M1 generation was so good that it prompted way more users to jump to it; that demand would spread over multiple generations if it was not so good.

On the other hand purposefully gimping M1 would gimp ARM adoption. By delivering great performance, they've build up a lot of goodwill - people willingly port their stuff to macs.

This is inherited from the upstream TOR browser. It's basically designed to evade fingerprinting by making the browser's fingerprint similar across all TOR browser's users. It's indeed very inconvenient so don't use these browsers unless you're seriously care about these stuff.

I mean yeah they tend to actually have reactive armor and don't tend to be quite as vulnerable to the "turret tossing" as those operated by the Russians. But this isn't about western vs soviet tanks. The point was the "many thousands of high-quality Soviet tanks" appear to be quite vulnerable to very inexpensive and widely available equipment that Ukraine have become adept at using.
Serious question: does Slovenia have civil rights events in its history comparable to those in the USA? Because, try as I might, I can't think of another country with as serious a history of civil rights (abuses and promotion) than the USA - I'd love to hear of an underrated civil rights movement in Slovenia.
The computational cost of an endian swap rounds to zero, and file format implementers expect serialised ints to be big-endian by default. It's just the Principle of Least Astonishment at this point.
Any discussion as to who is winning is meaningless without defining what victory means. And apparently it not only means something very different for each side, but also changes with time.

Suppose Ukraine manages to push Putin's army back to original pre-2014 borders. Is this victory? With a large part of the country in ruins, a terrible GDP decrease, thousands of men with PTSD, not to mention those dead. There is simply no victory here, just enormous pain because of someone's sick ambitions.
Nope, internal one. See the update
Very little, you can check by downloading the images as the LZ4 images has been reencoded into PNG so the browsers can show them.

That's because it's a fork of the Tor browser, meaning it's based on Firefox ESR, which is currently on version 102.
It's not war, it's a special operation.

Without a clear definition of what "winning" means, the entire discussion is futile.

I thought Nvidia cards already had some kind of ML hardware for upscaling video games? Which seems them going full circle, since large AI models (except Google TPU code) are usually trained on GPUs, which were originally intended for games.

The SSD now being soldered to the system board has of course ZERO correlation with that price gouging.
So you're saying they've got this enormous fleet of tanks that they've yet to deploy but which could turn the tide of the war ... and they're just sitting on them? I don't buy it.
I don't get it, you're complaining that an image codex is not a video codec? Well... duh.

2D images are used for their own sake, not as a compromise because you'd rather show a moving 3D object rendered at 8K but you can't. So obviously this is about the problem of compressing 2D images, it's off-topic to argue that it can't do video or whatever.
oh its certainly used in practice. you should look into frameworks like Stan[1] and pyro[2]. i think bayesian models are seen as more explainable so they will be used in industries that value that sort of thing

should read 'a lot of work' and 'a lot of money'. In my own little town, when we (residents) voted to pay for a municipal internet, the residents had to pay to replace close to 50% of the utility owned poles in order to gain access to those poles to run fiber.

and due to the way the laws are written, we had to pay to have an engineer prescribe what work needed to be done to each pole - up to and including replacing it - then submit plans to the utilities, and then pay the utilities to pay 'their' engineer to do the same study - and then when it was agreed that a pole needed to be replaced, we had to pay the full cost of replacing it, and then when the work was done, the utility still owned the pole and rented it back to us for a yearly fee - repeat several hundred times.

Several million dollars for about 500 households.

AFIK it's a "fork" of the tor-browser (which is a fork of Firefox) but instead of connecting to the tor network you connect to a VPN.

So you get all the in-browser tracking protection Firefox has (e.g. against fingerprinting) + the ones only the Tor browser has but without the drawbacks of the tor network and in turn without onion security.
And here I am in the US in a metro area with a population of over a million and I can't get fiber despite AT&T having come door to door hawking their service on the premise that they were installing fiber. Clearly there's just not enough people in my area and it's impossible.

Typically you charge for something that has value for your users.

A blue checkmark that verifies that you are in fact the organization you say you are has value. But that's not what a paid checkmark is - @NewYorkT1mes can get a blue checkmark too. It's simply an indicator that you paid for Twitter, which in and of itself has very little value.

(It's also some other stuff like boosting your tweets which has value, but the idea that the paid checkmark is anything like the old verified checkmark is a bait and switch).
Nah, nope. You usually don't get the source for proprietary software. Just like you get medical care when you are in an accident, same should apply to work done on os software. Somehow devs should be compensated for their work on os soft.

I remember buying a Macbook Pro a long time ago (I want to say around 6 years ago? Back in the dark Ive days...) and I can relatively confidently say that it's always been approximately this bad. Inflation plus mental factors are likely the trick that's playing on some folk's mind. They always charged e.g. 200$ for memory increments and 400$/800$ for storage increments, IIRC.
I just diffed the fingerprint[0] of 6 Mullvad browser sessions across 2 different devices and it was a unique fingerprint in every case[1]

It mixes a lot - fonts returned, media devices, the canvas ID - it's pretty good and similar to what you expect from the improvements out of Tor Browser

[0] using amiunique and fingerprint.js (now fingerprint.com) - which most of the nefarious ad networks use

[1] not that just as with Tor, you have to quit the browser or click the 'new identity' menu button. just closing a tab/window and re-opening is not enough. I've always believed that there could be a UI hint to this in private browsers with a unique color/background in the menubar as an indicator
How did you end up in the end and how did it affect you later if I may ask?
I'm so glad we have modern computers with gigabytes of RAM so that we can do real-time chat. This app would have been impossible fifteen years ago when computers had only 1GB of RAM or less. Without modern hardware development we would still all be sending eachother long emails like it's 2006. /s
This is not necessarily the fault of the browser alone. I‘m also unique on a Safari on an up-to-date iOS, which in itself is not very unique.

> I see a lot of people celebrating Windows 95 as a high point, and it isn't really a surprise - that was one of the last times that Windows had to genuinely attempt to compete economically for their OS share.

That might also have been around the last time when people expected to pay for a new operating system. The other thing Apple has done is to lower the cost of OS upgrades to the point where selling the OS itself has become economically difficult. Apple simply offsets that with insane margins on the hardware, MS doesn't have that option.
A biometric password cannot be replaced by the user in case of interception of communications, troyans, or theft of the database where it is stored; once obtained, there is no way back, any service that makes use of a biometric will be compromised forever. Eyes biometrics would force all users to wear glasses with some kind of polarization on a daily basis, and in turn endangers the physical integrity of the user in case of robbery with violence.

Also the privacy of the users would be compromised, a biometric is unique ID (during the time you are not sick), that means traceability.

All hardware is hackable. Nothing will prevent someone from analyzing the system and creating accounts for the distributed bots.

> How do we prove each person is real? Worldcoin’s solution is cataloging every individual over 18 years old through a privacy-preserving protocol, rewarding each person with cryptocurrency, which in turn will become the new global monetary standard.

Ignoring the contradictory paragraph about protecting privacy, it sounds like promoting a crypto using a captcha -that will harm the user on long term- as an advertising for trying to take control of fake money. Is this morally upright?

I am not surprised.
Same for me, I am using a VPN provider.

Even after installing Privacy Badger, my fingerprint remained unique and unchanged, with 17.65 bits of identifying information.

For comparison, after I disabled JavaScript, blocked remote fonts, disabled cosmetic filtering, and blocked large media elements using uBlock Origin, my fingerprint was no longer unique, and it dropped down to 9.55 bits of identifying information. Obviously, I don't recommend people do this, but it was fun to check it out.

Determination.
Ukraine has no air force, Russia has.
Russia has almost 10 time more soldiers.
Unless western countries start sending soldiers to fight Russians, there should be no way for Ukrainians to even withstand.

Nonetheless, Russia is definitely not winning after 1 year.

Maybe Russia will end up controlling the majority of the land. Just rubbles and ashes.

This is not winning IMHO.

It was intense, they had to fight, sometimes publicly, tooth and nail with the utility pole controllers. But I'm typing this from fast, reliable (knock the nearest of many trees) fibre internet with very reasonable (all things considered, though I wish they had a more basic tier for down and out folks) pricing.

I had a computer that was built to last for decades : an original IBM PC XT 8088.

It had a chunk of metal ( paperweight? ) in the keyboard to make it heavier. It was extensible.

The enclosure was made out of steel and it had a power switch which originated from a mainframe.

It was built to withstand nuclear war and it only lasted for a couple of years.
Please add support for ARM.
It will not be the end of the war, but the West, and especially Europe, will have an aggressive bully at its borders who already proved it can murder and torture people ruthlessly. So the economy will focus on arms race once again until someone in Russia finally understands it doesn't make any sense.
The religious indoctrination is that people (including bus drivers or ferry operators) should have a rest day with their family (everybody has the same rest day). Whether it is really religious or just good sense is left to your appreciation.
Any modern tank can explode when hit by an anti-tank missile. There are little Western tanks in Ukraine (Ukraine also has Soviet tanks) so you don't see such videos often.
It really isn't. Russia has gone backwards for a year now. There isn't a single parameter where things doesn't look bad for them. Sure the fog of war makes things somewhat unclear, but saying that its hard to gauge who is having the most trouble is nonsense for anyone following the conflict.
The big gotcha with a system like Starlink is that the antenna has to be within line of sight of satellites that are at times quite low to the horizon. If you have obstructions that means that you are going to have dropouts, at least some of the time. Most people have to live with at least some obstructions, unless they want to put up a tower.

Writing Tools: Looking Back to Look Ahead
Cerstin Mahlow: “Research on writing tools started with the increased availability of computers in the 1970s. After a first phase addressing the needs of programmers and data scientists, research in the late 1980s started to focus on writing-specific needs. Several projects aimed at supporting writers and letting them concentrate on the creative aspects of writing by having the writing tool take care of the mundane aspects using NLP techniques. Due to technical limitations at that time the projects failed and research in this area stopped. However, today's computing power and NLP resources make the ideas from these projects technically feasible; in fact, we see projects explicitly continuing from where abandoned projects stopped, and we see new applications integrating NLP resources without making references to those old projects. To design intelligent writing assistants with the possibilities offered by today's technology, we should re-examine the goals and lessons learned from previous projects to define the important dimensions to be considered.”

It has nothing to do with “God”. It is a show of allegiance to the tribe. Everyone knows the rule and loophole is nonsense, but they play along to display that they are still wanting the tribal affiliation even though they do not want to follow all the tribal rules, and so put in some effort to getting around them to earn their “freedom” while still being able to claim allegiance to the other tribe members.

A lot of the answers to “why” for things that are obviously simple inconveniences with no utility to the individual or expenses that seemingly benefit no one are a form of sacrifice to show loyalty to a group. In fact, the more sacrificial something is, the better the signaling. In this case, giving up some money offsets not actually sacrificing the freedom to do what you want.
Hmm I am sure this is well intentioned, but I am a bit scared this will just further chip away on FireFoxes market share which doesn't look good to begin with.

The kids gaming PCs are definitely faster, but the killer must-have is they support the anti-cheat checks for Valorant, otherwise I might have only upgraded GPUs.

There are plenty of arguments to choose a licence, and as the world changes we will evolve. See how the GPL itself evolved to handle TiVo. These things arent static.
