More frequent buses tends to have a split effect. The first-order effect is linearly fewer passengers per bus. The second-order effect of people now switching to buses has to be quite strong (and often is) to overcome this direct effect.

I happened to travel from Amsterdam to Boston today (missing King’s Day). There was no chance I wouldn’t take the train to the airport on the Amsterdam end. There was equally no chance that I would take mass transit on the Boston end, despite living in Cambridge.
Hard to believe that Twitter was willing to offer $4B for a service they managed to recreate themselves for (presumably) a tiny fraction of that cost. Makes you wonder if all the AI panic right now is going to end up going the same way.
They also at one point said that Windows 10 would be security supported for the lifetime of devices bought with or migrated to Windows 10. My current desktop was bought with Windows 10 and my current Windows tablet was migrated from Windows 8 and neither has a processor recent enough to support Windows 11 according to Windows Update, I've not been in a hurry to replace or upgrade either device (known on wood) so "2 years left of security support" seems like a bad joke right now. The lovely world of artificial obsolescence.
I haven't looked at the research recently, but my understanding is that while more frequent service is strongly correlated with higher average passenger counts, the causation seems to be that higher average passenger counts justify increased bus service, and not that increased bus service generally results in higher passenger counts.

Better route coverage likewise.

Reduced prices are complicated. That does increase usage, until the prices drop so far that you attract homeless people who your would-be passengers are scared of. It turns out that making mass transit passengers feel safe is a very important consideration.
I'm using mine primarily as a redundant backup host. So, for that usage, they're perfectly reliable and functional.

However, the machine is absolutely slow. It usually takes a few seconds before SSH brings me to a shell prompt. Web apps I have running on it (basically just Gitea and Vikunja at the moment) can take upwards of 10 seconds to render pages, and it's just me using it. If you just want a storage host, they're fine. Running your website off it? I would probably not recommend.

Reliability, I have not had any issues so far, but I'm hardly a power user. My own personal anecdote is that my backups get validated monthly and, so far, have not had any issues.

I would probably agree that these machines alone would not suffice to make a good Dropbox alternative if what you're storing there isn't backed up elsewhere. I would recommend supplementing with off-site backups to B2 at the very least.

I have done that and more, it lead to burn out after 4 years or so.

And yes there is a part where you feel different etc. And burn out is tough, it takes a lot of time to recover, it is kind like constantly pushing heavy and the gym and then get a severe injury. But burnout is more like mental and emotional exhaustion.

It is extremely hard to get out of that state, so I would rather have a alow gradual progress with some frustrations and delays than the risk of a total burnout.

This has nothing to do with AI at all. Clubhouse was a kinda cool social network that came out at exactly the right time during COVID. AI is something we've been working towards since the 50s, and over the next few years will change absolutely everything.

Yes. Azure and GCPs numbers on the size of their AZs and such are more marketing spin than hard engineering. AWS keeps these in separate physical locations to provide true separation. While there have been tech related regional incidents at AWS a physical event disabling multiple AZs would be extremely unlikely given their much more robust and geographically distributed design. If such a physical event had happened in AWS it would have been a non-event with things just failing over to other AZs.

Other cloud providers mostly just vaguely put things in another part of the building and say it’s “a separate AZ” but as GCPs woes highlighted that’s corner cutting that bites badly when the whole building has a problem.
This is the problem storing data in the cloud - whenever it rains you may have a big data problem.

It was a B rate project nobody really cared about from the get go. No wonder it flopped. Nobody cared to make sure it didn't.

I have no numbers on this, but I reckon that the vast majority of twitter users who rarely tweet, don't engage in the outrage du jour, and aren't on Twitter to promote themselves have experienced little to no change since Elon has taken over. I know this is true for me at least. All of the things that made Twitter good and terrible are still there.

From what I can tell, most of the loudest Elon-Twitter detractors are people with some ideological bone to pick. They dislike Elon, they dislike centralized platforms, or name your cause.

To me, none of this portends an imminent mass exodus to slightly more complicated, vastly less popular Twitter clones.
A phone won't have a complete map of cell towers and wi-fi, it can't locate itself without using GPS. Thus it's basically saying "I'm somewhere around here, this is what I see. Where am I?". You can't send a query without providing an address to receive an answer. Sending such a query is a lot less energy intensive than GPS and it has a lot more ability to penetrate than GPS--when you're indoors it's the only game in town and I've seen occasional instances where GPS wouldn't even work inside a car unless you put the unit on the dash.

A unique ID wouldn't be required for this to work but without some sort of security measure you can figure others would piggyback on your service.

Actually if you head over to r/AcademicBiblical you will find one consensus among scholars(no matter the denomination + atheist) is that there are multiple variations of the bible.

Thus there is no one canonical bible. We can only have approximations of the originals.

And that is before we get to the problem of translating Koine Greek and ancient Hebrew into modern languages.

Multiple endings of Mark, the added adultery fable, the Johannine comma and that is just the examples from New Testament.

There are basically two types of errors when copying, the innocent: like copying line twice - probably due to tiredness

Then there is the ideological, where change was made by copyst to suit some particular ideology.

Actually there is also the well meaning copyist who sometimes will "correct" some text.

The earliest fragments we have are at least 100 years removed from originals for the New Testament.

For the Old Testament the earliest we have Dead See Scrolls which are also a couple of hundred of years removed from originals if not more.

There are a looooot of people, especially craftsmen, who can appreciate heavy and well built, if rough, furniture. Even if it's worked with primitive tools, that stuff looks and smells and lasts better than anything - anything from IKEA. Especially when it's made with not just nice but gorgeous wood - mahogony, rosewood, oak, teak, etc. The stuff you can hardly buy for any money these days.

And no, I'm not "deliberately missing the economic point" - I'm adding the perspective of a wider range of human history than the last 50 years. The perspective of >99.99% of human history. For all that time, such furniture was not just cheap but free + labour. The trees were abundant, and we used them.

As for being insistent, I'm not - you can believe whatever you like - but it would be cool if you stopped trying to put the worst possible take on my words.
I would really like to move away from google search, but unfortunately every other engine I tried sucks for localized searching...
I get it that I come from small central europe country which is not that interesting market wise but it looks like google is able to provide relevant results while any other engine does not.

For example I tried brave to search for watch I'm currently considering buying. When using site:sk it gives me 3 results... Same google search returns thousands results...
Didn't this happen before? Wasn't it Tumblr?
search.marginalia.nu consisted of 1 Swedish engineer and 1 server last I heard and still managed to outclass DDG in a number of query types relevant to me.

In fact, back when I used DDG I think I fell back to marginalia more often than I fell back to Google, partly because of my dislike for Google and partly because Google doesn't respect my queries - which of course is a contributing reason for my dislike for them.

Let's say 100 of the Brave employees are engineers and 50 of them work on the Chromium skin, that still leaves 50 to work on search and related efforts. If 5 of them are as good as the marginalia guy and they are allowed to work with equally clear direction, lack of interruptions and more funding, I think that could almost explain a working search engine.

Remember: In the first 20 years of Google existence (or in any 20 years of the semiconductor age until recently) Moores law had over 13 cycles. A lot of what used to be hard problems before isn't anynore.
To me, even though you might call this hitting a nerve, this comment and the one you did earlier, scream the classic stereotype of white collar workers looking down on blue collar workers like farming. "If they were smart like me, they wouldn't be farmers." "They are too dumb to manage a multi-ton machine despite having done it for over a century. Unlike me, who has written code for a few years."

Farmers aren't stupid. They're actually sometimes very high-IQ people because maintaining a profit with so many constraints and uncontrollable circumstances is extremely difficult; and Silicon Valley flunkies would be in bankrupt within days of trying. If they could even survive waking up at 4AM for more than 3 days in a row.

I wonder if the old cases were essentially hidden in the larger number of cases caused by smoking? With smoking on the way down, the percent of cases that would be attributable to HPV would go up. Trying to find the throat cancer rate by year for the past few decades and not having any immediate luck though.

Edit: This data from the CDC seems to indicate that the increase is in number of new cases, but the rate has been fairly flat since 1999 https://gis.cdc.gov/Cancer/USCS/#/Trends/
> >The European race has received from Providence, or has acquired by its own efforts, so incontestable a superiority over all the other races which compose the great human family, that the individual, placed with us, by his vices and his ignorance, on the lowest step of society, is yet the first among savages.

From a political power perspective he’s correct though. Especially in 1830. I didn’t real this as biologically superior so much as “Europe is so great, it’s greater than everywhere else.” And at the time, wasn’t that true? Were there any major world players at the time? This was at the peak of industrialization that was having Europe eclipse historical powers like China and India. And this would all change around in the 20th century (and 21st obviously).

I think the word race was used very differently at the time and means more like peoples or nations.
A series of tubes would have helped with this.
Maybe the odds of getting it through cunnilingus are a lot lower than through fellatio. There's no possibility of throat contact in the former case and what seems like a short distance to us might be an impassible obstacle for a virus.

It was interesting to read about why hotspots are not the whole story in performance. They are still important though.

Facebook may have the resources and/or need to do complete rewrites of everything to squeeze out more performance, but most companies don't.

I've personally improved performance of a lot of code significantly by identifying hot spots. So calling hotspot performance engineering a fail seems a bit unnecessarily provocative.

Most of your reply is commentary, and I will ignore it as it is tangential to my point.

I'm not going to bat for blue team or red team here, I'm pointing out that we've (likely) entered an inevitable slide into the tactics of totalism. Unity is getting harder, more people have a solidified allegiance and conversions are becoming less common even among independents.
When you lose the ability to sway a shrinking middle ground your tactics adapt accordingly.

This aside, you are asking for proof of capital outflow from red demos and into blue demos under the Biden admin. I can provide that here:

[1 - breakdown of professional catagories by political allignment]
https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/most-partisan...

Observe how the sectors that will receive the vast majority of new blue spending (green energy, local news, unions, government workers, regs agencies, et.c) support team blue.

Observe how the sectors most targeted with new taxes (natural resource extraction, corporate news, finance, etc.) are red supporters.

Observe how welfare spending is concentrated/directed to urban environments who vote blue.

Observe how new ballot harvesting regulations offer structural advantage to dense areas (cities) and cities vote blue.

I'm not saying It's good, it will lead to war eventually, but it is the most effective strategy when the likelihood of 'winning people over' drops. It's power politics.

Revolutionary Physics Theory Solves the 'Hard Problem' of Consciousness
A groundbreaking new thesis in physics proposes a revolutionary solution to the longstanding challenge of understanding the relationship between matter and consciousness. The thesis offers a comprehensive theory that addresses the most challenging aspects of this complex issue, and even includes an experimental proposal that could provide empirical validation for the theory. This exciting development represents a major step forward in our understanding of the universe and the fundamental nature of reality.

Mozilla needs to figure out how to attract new users, and focus.
