Given how well conserved this is among plants, this has probably evolved multiple times and the reason why plants arrive at it must be very strong. Like say how a lot of animals living and swimming in water look like fish even though many of the ancestors of today's "fishes" lived on land: the "fish shape" evolved multiple times.

This changed: bands now get less that $50K to do the album.
It should be required by regulation, to be frank. Many places still have emergency broadcasts on AM radio.
I appreciate the list, thanks! `tortoise311` was the only one I hadn't previously heard of.
> This is basically a myth.

It's very interesting to me that so many people these days are telling me what I've personally witnessed is not real.

Amazing how my personal bubble growing up apparently are the only ones committing such acts and literally no one else if you go by the stats.
Material wealth is status. Money is status. Assets that earn while you sleep is status. Money is arguably the ultimate status game.
The problem with federal standards is getting everyone to agree. If state standards aren’t allowed and California wants tougher environmental standards on California land, but Texas doesn’t, you force a showdown, a loser, and simmering resentment for decades.
I sure hope so, its likely to be a popular board
Thanks for the great write-up! I have one quibble with your implementation of quadratic probing though: the usual index function used for quadratic probing is start_index + (i + i^2) / 2. This is the sequence you get by adding one to your start index, then adding two the next time, then adding three, etc., so you can avoid performing any actual multiplication by just adding one to the stride on every failed probe. Furthermore, this sequence has the useful property of visiting every index once before returning to the start, if your table size is a power of 2, so you could remove a check from your inner loop.
Interesting choice of Blue and Red there.
I've heard that many people have an authoritarian bent, but that it lays dormant until triggered by a shock or crisis. These people fear the destabilizing chaos or risk presented by the crisis, and turn to a strong leader and discipline to manage it. Others (like me) fear instead the centralization of power and restrictions.
Low turnout elections are antidemocratic by nature. I'd venture there are many more e-scooter users in Paris than voters in this referendum.
I can agree about the nuke. Physique doesn't really matter
Things may be legitimately more dangerous but I also wonder how much our expectations have slipped. Both in terms of expecting children to be responsible, and people to not be shit.

Or maybe things aren’t more dangerous. I’m not sure, I just know violent crime has been trending down for 25 years and the news is increasingly sensationalist and negative.

To at least some degree, I feel like there is some self fulfilling paranoia.
I would be able to make a long list of things while maintaining logical consistency with things earlier the list. For instance, I asked ChatGPT-4 to create a schedule for a class, and it started off okay, but by the time it got to the end of the schedule, it started listing topics already covered. Really shows how it's just going off of statistics.
Like many things I think status is something that is good to have, but obessing over it doesn't help. The difference between having no status and any status is huge, but the more you get the more diminishing returns there are.

The article is really about chasing status as a goal, rather than as a means to an end. Open ended goals are good for giving continuous purpose, but staking your identity on achieving something that is ultimately unachievable is bad for your mental health.
It's a fine point, but same parties that will do that will ignore the licenses in any case.
Same here, I fell into depression after burning out in my job and it took me exactly somewhere in between 3-6 months to get out.

There was no specific point when I felt like: Ok, I am out of this mode, but the transition was visible.

Don't wish this feeling on anyone - its a terrible terrible place to be.

One critical difference is the growth factor. AR-15 shootings don't double every year. Teen suicide don't double every year.

Another is prevalence. This tech can be the ghost in the machine animating all sorts of processes, interfaces, devices, content. It will affect you at work, it will affect you at home, it will affect you in society. This is the entire point of developing machine intelligence. How safe, reliable, and controlable is this tech as of now? On that list of yours, there is a piece of technology (primitive technology btw) that is illegal to have: a fully automatic rifle. Calls for regulation and restriction are not unreasonable. How we define and enforce them is the challenge, but the need should be self-evident.

> the motives of these elites

And yet another reason. The powerful variants of this technology has very high financial barrier to entry. The sort of MI that could truly fuck with us is only in reach of nation states and companies like Google, Microsoft, etc. The latter set (we are repeatedly told here and elsewhere) are only obligated to further the profits of shareholders.

A pause also lets the emerging wave of open source and operationally accessible projects (such as *.cpp, etc.) to catch up a bit. This disempowers the "elite" but it is an undeniable plus for the plebes.
Seems to be a lot of correlation to voting patterns as well.
I don't see the connection between the quote you cited, and your response?

The quote is about making consequences obvious. Elden Ring does this in spades. Hell, at one point in the game, a huge section of the map becomes a giant hole, and at another part, the massive tree that is visible throughout the game begins to burn, dropping ash across the whole world.
It works pretty well for young age ranges, especially in the 'time limits' and other more objective controls. You have the bias of the average HNer who is into computers and was into them since they were children. There is also a good chunk of kids that just wont bother and go do something else, like read a book or play with sibilings. And a partial low labor solution is better than no solution or a high labor one that takes time from other higher value things for the parents.
This sounds dangerously close to "ligma" if you try to pronounce it.
I think your confusion here is coming from the fact that "unspecified behavior" is a specific thing in the standard's terminology (looking specifically at n3088 right now), distinct from the concept of "undefined behavior". So when it says "constructed according to the semantic rules", that inherently excludes UB, which definitionally has no semantics prescribed for it (unlike unspecified behavior). For brevity's sake, I'm ignoring the allowance that an implementation can give any particular UB defined semantics.

To reduce my point to a list of options:

* No UB in the program -> Specified by 5.*

* No UB for certain inputs -> Specified for those inputs, not specified otherwise

* UB present, but not on any possible execution path -> Not specified (this is the argument)

* UB present on every possible execution path -> Not specified (definitionally)

I linked this in a sibling comment, but there was a proposal to amend C2x's wording here to specifically exclude this type of insanity (n2278), but it wasn't adopted because it could potentially prohibit optimizations and the working group doesn't really want to address the issue of undefined behavior with more definitions.

Let's apply the ole reductio absurdum and see how it shakes out.

Bloat an already obese government by cranking taxes up to 100%, society collapses.

Put the government on the fasting cure, starve the beast, and most folks end up with more in their pocket and happier.

How about I add $100 tax to each apple sale? What happens to apple prices? I'd be forced to finally develop a taste for cherry pie.

How much and who to tax have been arm wrestled over since humans figured out that houses are nicer than caves.

Cities need both taxes and sewers to survive, but too much of either will stink enough to drive off anyone who can.

Take a peek at That Which is Seen and That Which is Not Seen [1]. Bastiat had his head screwed on straight for a Frenchman, and had it figured out in 1850.

People like living in the suburbs at a price point which is heavily subsidized. Remove the federally backed home loans and mortgage tax deductions, federal highway subsidies, auto industry favoritism, a foreign policy that promotes cheap oil, zoning laws which favor car transport and suburban development, and finally adjust local taxes to reflect the true maintenance cost of water/electricity/gas/roads to their endpoints and you will see a major increase in suburban housing prices and a corresponding decrease in their demand.
> low turnout elections are antidemocratic

This is a feature. Democracy is government by the people. Not by their whimsy. If it isn’t worth the inconvenience of voting, that might be a sign.
It's a ban on the rental companies, not e-scooters themselves.
Streaming services in particular are driving me crazy. They don't have parental controls. Not really. You can make a kids account or whatever but you can't dictate what can or can't be seen.

I'm at a point with streaming services -- and this stems from the 24/7, 365 on-demand access we have to television and movies today that was not reality when I was a child -- where I'm ready to cancel everything and curate my our experience for myself and my kids with a NAS and torrents.

edit/ So I check Netflix to see what they offer. Viewing restrictions limits content based on parental guidelines ratings. That's really it. It's like someone else commented, it's as if these places are staffed by people who don't have children.
Python's syntax is ok.

Btw, I wish they would take some inspiration from Haskell's syntax.

Haskell also has significant whitespace, but its defined as syntactic sugar for a more traditionally syntax with curly braces and semicolons.

Approximately no-one uses that curly-brace syntax, but it's good for two things:

- silences the naysayers

- more importantly: allows you to copy-paste code even into forms that mess up your indentation.
Sounds like the hedonic treadmill...it means you can never get enough. you will always want more.
That’s (the music industry) is their point. They wrote this well into a prominent career working in the industry. It’s not just some navel gazing about the impact, it’s served as a reality calibration for musicians seeking something on the spectrum of sustainable career to stardom for decades. The sobering reality that “success” in music is and has been mostly a vessel to concentrate wealth and direct culture at the whims of a few powerful people is definitely not limited to music, but it’s something musicians deserve to be aware of in the particulars of how it plays out.

Post-COVID, it was termed the "K-shaped recovery" where the rich landed windfall profits and the comfortable Beltway journalist class have no concept of how difficult inflation has been for the average 80% of Americans.

The power of concentrated capital goes beyond corporate regulatory capture: lobbyists are the tools of billionaires executing overt corruption. Campaign finance reform couldn't be had by McCain in 1999-2003, so it won't be had now. There is zero possibility of effective or lasting reform from within because the rich run America.
Millennial here that grew up in that exact same situation. I eventually ran away from home @ 16 and moved in with my uncle. I don't talk to my dad except on major holidays. I expect him to die alone and frankly thats none of my fucking business.
Consider what are the predominant themes were in white southern culture 60 years ago. They never really let go of it.
I never said it's an unnecessary skill. My point is that having to do it should be a red flag for dysfunctional leadership.
There's a joke that if something isn't nailed down, it'll be stolen. Whereas in some countries the crime rate is so low you can leave your bag somewhere and come back days later and it will still be there.
Until their 30s? In many places they live with them their entire lives. It’s more about economic conditions than ideal child development.

As for someone’s 30’s, it’s just rather late in life to become independent. People are capable of it much sooner. You don’t want to hold back a grown adult.
Well, it's dark orange plus context.
I feel like maybe they should ban e-scooter companies parking them on the sidewalk or something like that (or did they)? Why would it be illegal to rent e-scooters, but not own or ride e-scooters?

So X'ers what happened to us? If you are a "kid today" your parents are either X'ers or Millenials. As X'ers we've made it a point of pride that we played till the street lights came on, we walked to school, we walked where ever we wanted. We had jobs and started adulting at a much younger age, living at home with mommy at 25 wasn't cool it made you a joke. So what happened? Why did we raise these kids and never let them out of our site? Why did we drive them to school? Why did we invite fully employed adults to live in their childs room instead of letting them grow up? Who thought this was a good idea? I think we fucked up a whole generation of kids.

Please don't say safety because things are much much safer now than they were in the 70's, 80's and 90's.

I think From needs to evolve their approach to quest design (it hasn't really changed since Demon's Souls), but it's also an intentional design choice that much of the content of their games is easily missable.
Good.

These are just a menacee. At least people (mostly) ride bicycles on the road and bike lanes not sidewalks. Scooters are often left to litter sidewalks and most of them are too narrow to share with pedestrians safely.
This extends to a lot of areas outside of physical freedom. There seems to be a lot of pressure kids face to just do well and perform from an absurdly young age. I don't think that this starts with the current generation of parents either. I know that growing up there were a lot of children, myself included, who were made to feel worthless if we were incapable of winning at our sport of choice or performing at a top 10 range in the classroom in the subjects of "importance". Science, Math, that kind of stuff.

I'm trying my best right now to let my kid manage himself and learn how to ask for help where needed. I want him to go through his own choices, both good and bad, and experience success and failure on his own. I try to teach him that the only value I care about is not being a burden to others. Raising people up is true success instead of winning by pushing others down. Those core beliefs are the only ones I hope I can pass on to him. But I want to do whatever I can to make it come from him and for him to learn it from me through example rather than control.

I know that no matter how strict my parents were, it never actually did anything to increase my performance. It never did anything to increase the obedience of my siblings. All of us just went underground over time because we couldn't trust our parents to be reasonable when we talked about our experiences at school and sports. If it wasn't up to their standards they would just make us feel like we weren't living up to their standards. I've heard this being referred to as "ego" parenting or something like that. But part of the reason we could go underground was because of physical freedom. I cycled to school and sports. I took public transport and was free to sort myself out from completely from teenage years.

Instead of addressing the bit though about making a safe space for kids and not chasing them underground, it feels like parents have taken the approach of encroaching on their physical space as well to ensure that they do not escape the boundaries of the standards they demand.

And now children are giving up on trying to find freedom in physical spaces. How could they when the parents are following them to every event and class that they go to? They can't even go to a mall with friends anymore without having parents around in some form or another. I feel like the desire to go underground in the digital spaces is a natural evolution although I have nothing but my own anecdotal experiences to share to support this.

This is a tangential sharing of experience and opinion in relation the article. I leave this as a thinking point because I think physical freedom is being dampened for more than just the reason of fears of safety. There's also a strong desire to control children and have them grow up in our image of "perfection". If we want to reverse this trend, it may take a lot of parents having to get really uncomfortable with themselves and understanding that there's a significant amount of their own ego that needs to be removed. Else the end is going to be a never ending unhealthy war to find ways to control children's spaces every time they find a new one to go underground in.

Not voting is a "whatever is fine with me" vote. Turnout doesn't matter as long as there isn't mass disenfranchisement.
I've read (most of) this one. It is extremely well-researched but often a little too dry and academic for my taste. _Dormouse_ is more accessible, but both are great for Engelbart nerds.

Messenger-GPT: Use Chat GPT to generate messenger.com chat responses
I suppose it’s hard for me to really understand this situation. I live in a mixed-income neighborhood within a major US city and there are tons of kids that walk around in transit to/from school, the park, the bus stop, with younger kid always accompanied by older ones (10 and up). My neighborhood is fairly tight knit and if a kid goes “missing”, it’s usually because their phone died or something and the parent overreacted after not being able to reach them.

I would be concerned if I see a kid walking alone without any clear purpose/destination, but even then, an isolated incident is not going to be a call to CPS.
> Modern management theory also discusses "Theory Y" management,

Good god, "management" is so deeply devoid of any actual substance that they can't even name their prominent theories? No wonder it's a constant struggle for them to justify their own existence.
Depends a bit on which game.

Eg the Tomb Raider reboot uses white for climbables.
A lot of people who don't know anything about finance think that "offshore bank accounts" is a magical tax loophole. They don't know what "tax haven" really means, they just hear it repeated often.

There is a difference between "not eligible to vote" which is arguably anti-democratic, and "chose not to vote" which is arguably democratic. Would making voting at elections compulsory make them more democratic?
Here in Japan, Starlink price is continuously down (now $50) because only richer techy people (of course they have fiber and live in metropolis) buy it and they don't use much. FTTH coverage is really comprehensive even in very rural area, so there are very few residential practical use case. It would be excellent for camping. It seems that it practically priced.

To add an anecdote to your great general explanation: I'm red-green colour blind, and I can see the International Orange against most backgrounds.

Keep in mind that I can judge saturation and brightness just fine, and that's a big part of what makes that shade of orange stand out.
I hate these types of rented vehicles. I hope more cities follow Paris' example.

1. There is questionable quality and reliability. They always feel worse than a mid-range private ownership model.

2. Ownership is cheaper for regular users.

3. Parked vehicles litter sidewalks, making the city less pleasant for pedestrians, bicyclist, and even people actively riding an e-scooter.

4. You need a cell phone to interact with them. Maybe I'm a luddite, but I think this is bad for society.
Yes, I'm about to say it's not a trap. It's a jail! Trying to avoid status makes your life quality worse, more restrict ways of doing things. It's narrower in all directions. It is a jail.

You are more likely to lock up your scooter at a bike rack or carry it with you than you would with a rental scooter.
There's a pretty big difference between a person who owns and uses an e-scooter (not banned) versus rentals (banned).

I don't know about Paris, but in the earlier days of e-thing rentals (especially when Lime first came to our area), they were treated like trash. Users would dump them where ever they were done with them, often in the middle of the sidewalk or on people's lawns. Their batteries didn't last a full day so they'd often end up cluttering areas until the company came around and picked them up.

I think I'd have preferred to see something along the lines of unpleasant fines for leaving them anywhere other than a designated drop-off location, plus perhaps electronic governors limiting speed if that was an issue.

That said, if Paris doesn't have the ability to make and enforce such mandates, then a ban on nuisance business makes sense to me.
For those who are immediately thinking of the political angle, compare Utah and Oregon.
