> I would love to see small cars like these come into more widespread use in the the U.S

While I agree with the sentiment, I don't think this is possible.

The first layer of the many problems is that people don't have unlimited funds to purchase multiple vehicles. Remember that every vehicle must also be insured.

This means they must make a selection based on life's realities. For a family, in most urban areas in the US, that means highway travel to go just-about everywhere, including shopping for food, school and work. A relatively small percentage of people in most towns have the luxury of living so close to work, school, stores, church, whatever, to be able to use this type of vehicle.

And then you have the issues you alude to: Speed and size. My street, which is in a nice neighborhood, is supposed to have a 25 mph speed limit. I can't tell you how many people who live here fly down this street doing 40 to 50 mph. It's mind blowing, really. If you can't be considerate in your own neighborhood, I hate to think what someone might be like on the highway.

I have almost been hit a few times in the 25 years I've lived here just coming out of my driveway. People are moving so fast that you look right and left, it's clear and, when you are on the road someone suddenly is right on your ass. It's terrible.

We've had multiple neighbors call the police for some enforcement. They put on a bit of a show and nothing happens (those signs showing your speed). They don't want to write dozens of tickets on a neighborhood street. They have more important things to look after, I guess.

And so, most people look at a car like this and think "That would be nice, but...".

I suppose there might be a potential future where self driving cars might be software-limited to maximum speeds based on where they might be and actually cooperate to increase safety (the car coming down the street knows my car is pulling out onto the street and plans appropriately, etc.).

I think that's the only hope really. Which means it is at least 25 years away.
> benefits the most unproductive(i.e. edge case poor and super-rich). While putting all the pressure on the middle class.

People say this about every country. I think it's just that countries benefit the poor more than they "contribute" b/c they have the least ability to do so and people want their governments to be progressive.
On the flipside, everything is always easy for the super-rich, because they have tons of resources to employ armies of people that enable them to benefit from every loophole possible.

gmail discouraged me from using it a few years back when they insisted on scanning my emails for "purchases" and then would log these items somewhere in my history graph. interestingly enough, you could delete almost all history but the purchase history. what especially rubbed me the wrong way that it would list some medicine on there, and even though i didn't even purchase it through google they insisted on keeping that record in there permanently at their discretion.

i immediately moved over all 10+ of history to a new provider, set up an OOO and an auto forward to the new email. all "real" people would read the OOO and write to the new email, so now whatever's in gmail is a bot infested ad stuff.

It sounds like these new CO2-absorbing salts are (probably) harmless enough for home, office, and personal use.

If so...Idea: Develop CO2-reducing "filter" products for home/office/personal use, and market them as personal-performance-enhancing devices - by playing up the (many) research studies which have shown that high CO2 levels seem to cause all sorts of problems with cognitive performance, sleep, mood, etc. What wealthy, successful, or wanna-be-those-things person would ever want to under-perform because they're breathing too much CO2?

And if that was a big success...well, if most of the rich/powerful/successful folks are breathing through CO2-reducers, then the whole "pumping up the atmospheric CO2 level by freely burning fossil fuels is not really harmful..." lie gets a whole lot less convincing, doesn't it?

> Few years who when India unilaterally changed the status of Kashmir

You must not know how laws work. Kashmir agreed to join India in 1948. It was given a special status, enshrined in Article 370 of the Constitution of India.
Now, that "special status" has always bothered a lot of Indians; what's so special about Kashmir? Why not any of the other 537 states that formed India in 1947?

There were certain conditions on which Article 370 could be removed. Those conditions were met in 2019 and the Central Government took the decision to remove Article 370 to much rejoicing in areas like Ladakh and Jammu. This was challenged in the Indian Supreme Court (the final arbiter of things Constitutional) and found to be valid.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/18/iowa-senate-...

This doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as the Washington Post is making it out to be.

Does anyone have a link to the actual bill? I only found articles talking about it and nothing on what it actually says.
Yes, I've always been baffled by this. I like the idea of it, but when you actually use it and think about it, it actually makes the experience worse.

Iowan here, this is actually a long-running talking point. Prior to the pandemic, Iowa was experiencing "full employment" with a 2.5% unemployment rate, which was among the lowest in the country prior to the pandemic spike. Some amount of churn is actually desirable as it means that employers can grow their operations and employees are finding opportunities. However, businesses in the manufacturing, agricultural, and service sectors were getting throttled by headcount.

There was a lot of discussion about getting SAHMs to re-enter, and how to get incentivize hiring disabled people, and stuff like that.

In the post-pandemic era our news cycle got captured by pandemic entitlement discussion, but ultimately this and measures like it was always going to be what Iowa's "return to normal" would end up looking like.

Notably off the table is how to get kids to go to school here and stay here. Currently they are going to school out of state and leaving the state. It seems like we will do anything except make the state more desirable to live in.

& quite frankly the politics here were only tolerable because the state used to be reliably purple, and we are swinging in a direction I do not really care for. My employer has offices in minnesota and I have been thinking of trying to transfer northwards for awhile now.
I think this may be one of the best overviews of parsing algorithms I’ve come across!
It is concise, it points out the various approaches and their advantages/pitfalls in practice.

In general, it seems like most articles on parsing are overly pushing one approach or another… either because people have cargo culted themselves into believing whatever they learned first is best, or because they only understand one approach.

Parsers are just plain tough imo! It is a simple problem with a tricky solution space!

Complete overviews with citations like this are hard to come by in my opinion.

Put a unique QR code in each physical book in some standardized location (probably the publisher's imprint page). Then, someone can scan it to purchase it. The bookstore then gets a cut of the purchase. It would even work browsing a friend's bookshelf or a library.

The sad part is that the only reason you have this constraint is because your team/company chose to have it. It has nothing to do with the language or system itself, it's 100% self-inflicted.

You can absolutely add new fields to database tables on the system without updating every program - if you architect the software properly. Use embedded sql, explicitly select field names (ie don't do "SELECT *"), and put default values on new fields. I haven't written a new RPG program using the old file-specs in years - all new code has been embedded sql.

Not willing to give up SELECT *? Fine - create views on top of the real database tables to do your SELECT * from. Then you can still add new fields to the database tables without changing everything else.

Edited to add - if you want to add new fields to a table and not change all your old programs to use SQL, create a new table, transfer your data, and then create a view with the old table name using the same fields. You just have to test a little to make sure your view has the same record format id as the old table. Honestly it's pretty easy once you get the first one done and see how to do it.

“Do I want my 16-year-old operating a power saw as a job? No, I don’t“

- then don’t let them? Why do you need to make it illegal for everyone else?

Iowa is mostly a rural state, and growing up on a farm you learn to operate power tools when you’re 10, and there are plenty of 16 year olds in Iowa that are more than capable of running a power saw and working on roofs and are proud to do it. Better than sitting around and playing video games, getting in trouble, or even sports for that matter. IMO more likely to get injured in sports like football than operating a power saw.

That cycle is what urban economists call 'filtering'. It's like used cars that lose value over time.

I think you mixed up the numbers. It's capped at growing property value evaluations to 2% a year and counties may only set a property tax at 1% of assessed value. Of course that's only for the ad velorem portion of property tax. My city has fairly high fixed tax components (one of which scales by property square footage) which puts me currently 1.4%, and I expect that to increase over time as the fixed components to my property tax don't seem to have any restrictions. For homes of lesser value I'm sure the fixed costs dwarf their ad velorem components.
It's prime age because our population pyramid is balanced towards people that are likely to retire about now anyway. The prime age is far more relevant.

I've been thinking for some time about a mechanism that could be used to assert control over a domain that has a lot of third-party backlinks to it, as in widgets, ad networks, javascript etc.

Because when those domains become defunct or expire, anybody recognizing what they were could grab them and inject malicious code into all the websites with the broken widgets embedded (we've seen this happen with crypto miners, etc)

This kind of a mechanism (along with domainconnect) could work - but it would also need the browsers (perhaps with a plugin?) to verify a domain on embedded components before rendering them.

That would add a lot of DNS lookups though.

Overall a good effort. Would be good to see something along these lines gather some traction.
