As Xennial father of 2 kids - cars happened, when I was growing up in 80s families had at max 1 car, some didn't have car at all or used it rarely only on weekends, now many families have two cars, which they use on daily basis + same thing happened in companies which could do without cars back then. Back then I was riding bike 8-9yo to the other side of the town 2-3km and played there in forest or next to river with friend who lived there.

My 2nd grader started to walk home from school (~1km, two busier roads, one without crossing and bunch of smaller roads without crossing) by himself couple of weeks ago and he is still rarity in his class. Last week his class teacher refused to let him go without special paper despite he had no problem to leave from (after) school club for weeks already, where I specifically written he can go home by himself whole school year to not write paper almost every day. My mistake for writing in initial registration I am picking him up, now with younger kid joining the school she will have straight from 1st grade written in official documents she can go by herself and it will be only up to our agreement how she will get home without dumb teachers stopping us.
Wow, somehow it's not comforting to know that the states isn't the only politically F-uped nation.
Parent is talking about a fundamental feature of networks. A denser and larger network has much more useful network-related features, and if one company has a significant majority of the total addressable market for a network, it's a massive ask for people to extricate themselves and rebuild a network somewhere else.

It's why Facebook is still on top even though everyone hated it for a while; YouTube is the *only video platform, etc.
Ah, mason jars. I was mistaken and thought the comment was referring to larger, 1-2L food containers (which I’ve only seen with plastic/rubber lids).
Added it to the blog post.
In my family we all have read grandpa's memoirs and has been a huge motivation. How much time would one spent to read them? For most of the people less than a weeks social media consumption time. I would write memoirs for myself but life has become easy and safe and busy but not meaningful for anyone in the past and hopefully in the future.
> So you're suggesting that developers shut up and let the artists talk first? I'm not sure what the "you're suffering less than these other people" thing is actually intended to translate into? What do we do with that?

The tech community has a tendency to not care about issues like this until it effects us. I’m not telling people to shut up about this. I’m saying don’t be a hypocrite. If this is the wrong approach for GitHub, it is a problem with the way all these AI are trained.

Our parents were emotionally absent. Now we swing the opposite way and interfere too much in fear or being the wrong type of parent. Our fear of traumatising our children causes trauma due to too much constraining.
The "truth" is not enough. Look into Tian'Anmen and how the subject is completely taboo across generations. How to change social norms is a whole another thing.

- Chaotic, energizing environment

- Massive payoffs

- Low-stakes politics, informal environment

You face basically no risk, not in any real sense (like being sued, owing someone money, public embarrassment). You might have opportunity cost, but really only if you're a Bogglehead/Blind/FIRE-type, in which case you probably wouldn't pass the culture fit anyway. Someone people thrive in these early environments.

It's like weighing the pros and cons list of skydiving "Hm... I get only 14 seconds of pleasure for every 2 micromorts? I could get 2 minutes of pleasure from roller coasters for only 0.5 micromorts!" As soon as you bring "risk-reward ratio" into the conversation, you've lost the plot.

Even in the south east of the UK - compared to the US, an very densely populated area - there are some homes that have wired telephones, but rely on generators for power [1]

Presumably because at some point, it was cheaper to buy 30 years of diesel than to run a power cable, and yet cell coverage wasn't widespread enough to replace a wired telephone.

Of course, we can debate whether providing telephone service is us beneficent city dwellers generously subsidising our backwards rural cousins for the good of their children; or us being taken for fools and subsidising the rich's gigantic holiday homes and rental properties.

Open-source is a shitty business model unless you do "open core" and close-source the rest. This is true in both SW and HW.

Many people discover this independently.
You don't ticket the tourists directly, you ticket the scooter company. You can be sure that the scooter company will either get their money from the riders, or will develop really quick some methods to make it impossible to leave them in undesignated areas.
My point was more about the possible negative effects than about the legality.

An important difference is that AIs are much cheaper than a human. Having a library reimplemented by a human usually isn’t cost-effective, but having it done by an AI may become viable. That could cause a major change in the open-source dynamics, while possibly also reducing average software quality (because less code is publicly scrutinized).
The first is an example of a drawing censored in a large part of the world.

> I benefit from the fact that many people I've met around the world speak English, but it's almost unfortunate that one of the harder/more inconsistent languages "won".

English is not one of the harder or more inconsistent languages in the world. It's one of the simpler and more consistent ones.

This is a general pattern with languages that go through a phase where they are learned by large numbers of adults.
They have such great utility value that I think they're worth keeping, but should be regulated more. Things like parking should be controlled, and a crackdown on misuse of the scooters. But they can be incredibly handy.
Imagine Industrial Revolution, only it’s controlled by a single, for profit company.

That’s what’s scary about AI for me.
You hit the nail on the head with how much we saw and interacted with our parents. It was not much.
That's a very postmodern take on the art of gaming. So, supposedly slot machines are on par with chess?

"Just dopamine manipulation" and "glorified slot machine" are overly deconstructive and cynical beliefs, to the point where I doubt having this mindset could ever lead to creating a good game like Diablo 2. You could deconstruct all of human behaviour to dopamine spikes, but that kind of thinking usually leads to a race to the bottom; like what you're not necessarily defending but excusing.

Most of the games we love were at the very least heavily influenced by game design developed by naive artists and programmers who wanted to "make something cool".

Doom is the perfect example, in terms of both game design and tech. id Software wanted to blow everyone out of the water with that game, and so they focused on making it as fun and impressive as possible. There was no mentality of skinner boxes there, just inspired ambition and love of play.

Yes, almost all games are made to make money. That doesn't preclude artistic ambition, and good games are primarily about making something fun.
>But let's not kid ourselves, both Germany and the US are pretty free countries for their citizens?

Julian Assange has entered the chat. Oh no, wait, he hasn't, because he's being chemically lobotomized by the very criminals whose crimes he revealed to the world ..
The difference is e scooters kill the pavement, the last refuge for people who aren't driving. Even if it's illegal to ride there, people do because they don't feel safe riding a slow e scooter on the road.
I moved from Sydney to Auckland and now can get up to 7700Mbps. 1000Mbps costs 60 something AUD. One of my colleagues in Melbourne got the fiber upgrade (under 10k) and claimed the install on his tax so there's that to reduce it a bit.
And the internet, liberalization, free trade, etc.
I played around a bit with fpc earlier this year (yes, 2023). Ported a little game I made using Turbo Pascal 2.0 (had to implement some old graphics procedures that did not seem to be available in fpc; looks like it only has backwards-compatible graph procedurs in the style of Turbo Pascal 4.0 and later?). It was fun! I played around a bit more with fpc for various platforms and it seems to work very well. Surprising to not hear so much about it really. From a quick look Lazarus looks useful as well but I have not tried it yet.
I'm not violating the law, I'm violating the ToS. They should them remove the my account and the offending code, lest they then go on to violate the law, no?
As it's already being said, you don't ticket the individual riders. You ticket the company and let them deal with recouping the losses or creating ways of making the scooters less of an annoyance.
Only a short time ago, the word "computer" meant a person (who calculates things as a job).
As someone who played RO for years...

The similarities are exactly why I enjoyed GW2... Are you talking about the hearts or the events? The Achievements? The main difference is that the world the player experiences is more "coherent" in GW2 because of the Elder Dragon threat and their involvement in it (ie their hero's journey).

Also, what are "quests" to you?

There's so freeform stuff you can do in the game. Most of the Hearts you can complete without ever really caring about them. It's just a nice little exp bonus. Events? People can just not do them. Go to a different area (as in, hold W for 10 seconds, or use a waypoint?).
> I'm familiar with this, but I didn't find a way of remapping the alt/win keys with it. The closest I've found was using alt-gr for level 3. But I don't want that, I want the key next to it to be alt-gr. I also want to have it on the left side, too.

BIG WARNING if you do this! I've done it in the past and using other computers will just break your brain. Think working with someone else or helping relatives, etc.

> Because they're basically undiscoverable and require hours of googling.

Oh, so just like Linux stuff? :-p The double standards are real :-D

> The first approach I'd found, using the remap function of PowerToys kinda worked. But it randomly stopped working and would behave as if I had the super key pressed all the time. Cue windows randomly moving around, etc.

I've used SharpKeys and the Microsoft KLC tool in the past, after many, many failed attempts with other tools, they're quite reliable. Only a handful of apps and websites (WhatsApp web... for some reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) don't 100% work well with them.
Great, lets now move to ban them from other EU capitals.
Its an issue in Berlin, so many youths ride these scooters recklessly on footpaths, hurting pedestrians or worse.
If you look at many historic city centres in the Netherlands the solution is to changeover a fraction of those narrow streets into single way streets + cycle path. There is now enough evidence that more lanes does not improve traffic it is just met with more cars to match the increased capacity.
>> As in, all modifications must be made available. Is that not meeting your definition of giving back?

Available to all users. Not previous authors. There may be overlap, or there may not be overlap.

Plus, I would say it's giving forward, not back. If there are public users then the original authors can become users and get the code. But there will be bug fixes and features smooshed together.

Which is why i posit that there's no "give back" concept in the license. Only "give forward".
Follow the money:

Sounds just as useless, I'd expect "allow these shows" and not "oh, I need to ban 500"
Space if you live in a very small apartment and don't have a garage. Also probably easier to take with you on public transports.
Not a new thing here at all. This has been true since Tiananmen Square. They place their students in the position of having to report each other for speaking about it and use the threat of harm to their family back home to enforce it.

Anyone like this greedy Midjourney guy who would bow down to that fat-ass Jinping needs the entire family to be forced to surrender their passports, be stripped of their citizenship, and be sent over there to live the rest of their lives permanently barred from re-entry and from any business relationships over here.
There most certainly won't be any ads in the LTSC version of Windows 11 (coming this year... probably).
My market-supremacist response: I wish that instead of banning them they just fixed the negative externalities: a system where anyone can report a poorly parked scooter to the city govt and the owner of the scooter receives a significant fine.

That way the market will soon be forced to find a solution to parking enforcement, or stop renting out scooters. In the former case we keep the benefits of scooters. In the latter case, we learn that they aren't actually economically viable

(Admittedly the focus in Paris seems to be more on bad driving than bad parking, which seems even easier to fix: just reduce the max speed and/or tie usage to a driver's license...)
Its the same as other user generated content sites... The ToS is to legally shift blame from GitHub to the users... and thats what made me think of "code id" actually, since GitHub have a firm defence in the form of "Users doing illegal things isn't our fault, we asked them not to and tried to kick people off when we found out they were violating the terms, but they might still get slapped around a bit by the Court and need to implement some form of safeguards the way YouTube was forced to, because your point about how binding the terms of service are when the consideration is "use of this service in exchange for agreement" is true, there is not a super strong contract here, its nominally more binding than the average clickwrap contract pre-install EULA since the consideration in exchange is use of the service itself, but as case law around things like scraping and other internet activity has shown, its definitely not as binding as a physically signed sale contract would be...
Superb! Love the vibe <3
The vote concerns rentable scooters, not private ones.
In the context of UK law, e-scooters are motorised vehicles which make them illegal to use on the sidewalk. However, they don't come close to meeting the legal requirements for use on the road (no turn signals, for example) making it illegal to use there. Personal e-scooters aren't technically banned (they are available to buy), but there is no where on public property where you can legally ride them (not that it stops people). Therefore, the only way an e-scooter can be used legally is if a special provision has been made for a trial with rental scooters in select locations (Oxford being the one that I am familiar with).
Yes and no. AI is not a human. It is a model, a tool, a software. I don't want my work to go into someone else's software. I think people who keep their open-source work on GitHub and feed the Copilot tool for free have the same problem.

But for now I wanted to focus on the texts.
So strange to meet a German ultranationalist who claims to not even be German. Truly a unique experience, you may even be the only such person who exists on the planet. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
Yes, one is already sticking up from the ground and will be brought into the house in the next month. And someone just came by to see if a second one can be installed, that one still needs to be brought to the house, somewhere in the next weeks.

It seems wasteful, I know, but it's nice to have competition at least.
How is this Windows fault? Format the drive and install your own Windows.
> because they are such a great idea

I'd prefer a tight mesh of public transport with a flatrate ticket system over any fancy mobility startup at any time.
That's not especially distinctive of Germanic languages. Chinese will do it exactly the same way, though the chains of nouns that are common in Germanic would be unusual to say the least in Chinese.

But gluing words together without explicit connections is common pretty much everywhere. Compare Greek, which freely forms adjectives that way, or Latin sanguisuga "bloodsuck[er]" (leech) or lucifer "light-bear[er]" (light-bearer).
> I visited Paris last year and had a very cute midnight scooter ride with my girlfriend down the Seine. It was like out of a movie.

I had a similar experience but on Velib bicycles around a decade ago... It seems strange to ban scooters when Velib was such a popular success AFAICT.
Bengalis on both sides of the Radcliffe Line speak the same language and share some aspects of culture. But there are still subgroups within them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoti_people

From what I've been told, Ghotis and Bangals have distinct culinary styles.

Tongue in cheek: Each group claims their cooking is better but I can't say I care for either of them.
Just in case, I was talking about shared scooters and not personal ones.
For your convenience, we have expanded the possibilities of the service commission. Now, we have two tariff plans for you to choose from:

1) Fixed commission, which does not depend on the amount of the transfer and the number of transactions in the transfer.
2) Percentage calculation of the commission (1% of the transfer amount).

Switch to the tariff you need at any time, and calculate your benefit.

Running dos, win9x and others was quite a lot of fixing stuff as well. Getting your hardware to work with games and is took some patience and a lot of trial and error “back in the days”.
> I don't think they sell 128GB macs any more do they? They shouldn't!

The base model m1 macbook air has 256GB of storage.
> We will end the year at $130M in annual revenues and burning ~$925K/month

Sorry, I am confused. Is there a definition of "burning" that's different from "expense"? Cause based on those numbers, you guys are making a sound profit...
you're coming across as having a much greater interest in wedging in a promotion for Guix than anything else
Midjourney is banning Xi Jinping satire everywhere, also outside China.
Trouble is, the e-scooters are a pretty good replacement for private cars. Allowing them would facilitate a reduction in cars.
I used Turbo Pascal 2.0 from 1984 as late as 1991. It was what my dad's work-from-home PC happened to have installed and there was no internet to just go download newer software when you wanted it. Only had some old 1970's Pascal textbook and the example-code bundled with Turbo Pascal 2.0 to learn how to use it and that was enough to make some silly little games and learn a lot about programming (beyond what I could do earlier with GWBASIC).

Had fun in recent months installing fpc on all my computers and playing with it and it seems really good. Cross-platform support is amazing, possibly the best I have ever seen.
YMMV - here in Munich I have experience with both e-scooters and the "leading" bicycle-sharing solution (MVG Rad). E-scooters are about 2x more expensive, but also considerably more reliable. With the bicycles I regularly have to call the support hotline because the bike won't unlock or the return doesn't work correctly, also on many bikes the gear-shift is partly broken, the saddle is adjusted wrong (not the height, which you can adjust yourself, but the angle, which can make longer rides very uncomfortable) etc. Some of these can be fixed with better maintenance or better design of the bikes, but others are due to scooters being technically simpler and easier to use (they already have a big battery that has to be charged anyway, so not unlocking because of low battery is less likely, plus they are regularly picked up, charged/serviced and then put back, which is much harder with a full-blown bicycle, they don't need a gear shift or a saddle etc.).
Meanwhile in India, I am paying ~50$ a month for 1 Gbps fiber connection. On speedtest and fast.com, I easily average about 800+ Mbps download speeds on ethernet.
Firstly you need somewhere to keep the bike, inside is great but outside space can work, though you are at risk of having it stolen.

The main advantage is having it where you need it - maybe you got the metro or the bus to work and now you want to go on somewhere else. Your bike is at home. Then you want to head to a friends house, but there is nowhere safe to leave your bike but you'd be happy to leave the rental scooter outside, then two other friends want to join you on a trip to a pub, this time you have your bike but they don't, so you cycle alone and they get a cab.

I love cycling, but scooters (rental and private) def have some advantages
Pursuing external validation in whichever form will never bring true happiness. Things that might have been important a thousand years ago and will probably be important to people a thousand years in the future probably translate to happiness

People and marketing mix happiness with joyfulness, which fades into emptiness thus requiring increasingly stronger stimulants.

One test of happiness might be sitting on the grass looking at e.g. the trees or the sea for one hour. If you can't, you are stressed. If you can for ten hours you are depressed.
