Parent provided you a link explaining how this changed 10 years ago. You are unequivocally allowed in the United States to pass along credit card surcharges in all but two states. It's permitted by law, and it's permitted by merchant agreements!

If you don't believe parent, and you don't believe me, I hope you believe Visa's own FAQ.

> Q. Can I add a surcharge to card transactions?

> As a result of a legal settlement to resolve claims brought by a group of U.S. merchants, merchants in the U.S. and U.S. territories may add a surcharge to certain credit card transactions, starting January 27, 2013. Merchants who choose to surcharge must follow consumer disclosure and other requirements agreed to as part of the settlement.

This is because Nvidia has close to monopoly power this is able to break Moores Law single handedly.
As a note: the tidal bulge image gives an 'equipotential'. I.e. the water level you would get in equilibrium. That part of tidal bulges is right.

The part that is wrong is that the actual water level is nowhere near equilibrium, because the moon moves. In fact, the water level doesn't even approximate this equilibrium but can (and does!) behave very differently.
there's also the option of using a different audio engine, if you're looking for a specific feature. for example bevy_kira_audio does this, though it may also be lacking the advanced features you mentioned.
It's interesting how every build system, frontend framework, programming language implements its own promise pipeline/delayed execution/observables/event propagation.

But the implementations are rarely extracted out for general purpose usage and rarely have a rich API.

I've been thinking a lot about a general purpose "epoll" which be registered on objects that change. I want to be able to register a reaction to a sequence of actions on arbitrary objects with an epoll style API.

One of my ideas is GUI thunking. The idea that every interaction with the GUI raises a new type that can be interacted with, to queue up behaviours on the GUI. This is essentially Future<> that are typed and the system reacts to the new type based on what you did and presents a GUI that is as if the operation you queued up was completed. (You can interact with the future because any action on something that isn't done yet, is queued up)

It's a bit like terraform plan and apply, but applied to general purpose GUIs.

For example, you can click download file, then queue up installation and then using the application, ALL BEFORE it is installed. Because the actual computation is separate from the type information that was queued up.

Imagine using AWS Console to set up an entire infrastructure and wire everything together but not actually execute anything until the very end when you click "Run".

I feel we are still early days with regard how to build computer user interfaces that are easy to build, maintain and understand the code for.

I used knockout and angularjs 1 and I enjoyed Knockout especially. ko.observables and the map plugin makes creating reactive code very straightforward.
a guy who's spending a lot of time alone subjected to harsh climate, dangerous animals who is forced to be self-reliant when it comes to mental or physical ailments or crime will either break or become an adventurer.

i think it might be argued that your idea of what an adventurer has to look like is coined by hollywood such that it has to be a guy who does all sorts of crazy things - which a simple historic cowboy didn't do of course - while otoh this mundane life of a cowboy was by all means pretty adventurous at least by today's standards and that on a daily basis.

This is because you are measuring the entire cohort/generation of students.

Germany splits students into highschool (called Gymnasium, the academic track) and the vocational tracks at age 10.

Smart-kid highschool in Germany definitely moves faster than US highschools. Some even teach Greek and Latin for a well-rounded humanist education.

Thanks for your detailed answer! I guess I'm just used to critical editions in poetry, which are supposed to be identical to a facsimile but without transparencies nor coffee stains. The critical comments and the text are separated in odd/even pages. The even pages have a lot of notes, and are sometimes longer than the actual text! They explain the history of a single comma along the several editions of the poem in question, etc. I always hoped that musical urtexts would be like that, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Fortunately, we have IMSLP where we can at least see most of the originals nowadays!
I think in your case I would invest in optimizing how you get to your parent's house. Maybe working from a place nearby, if you can work remotely. Or moving to a different apartment which has good connection via train.

It could just be that the 20% Apple Tax is worth it to them as a business.

I use a "merchant of record" for my own side project, despite the roughly 15% it takes from each sale purely because they take care of all VAT collection and remittance worldwide.

Apple will also be taking care of some other little things like getting app updates to users, CDN, etc. etc. that I would need to implement myself.

Or you could be cynical and think that at some point they'll move to a subscription or IAP model later down the line once they have a bigger audience.

Look at Switzerland. Fully privatized (too a much higher degree that the US in fact) very high quality yet significantly cheaper (still much higher total spending than any other European country). Yet the US government alone (so excluding private spending) spends about the same on healthcare (as % of GDP) as Britain but without even basic universal coverage…
I have no intention of ever using public transport again. It is inherently unsatisfactory. It is slow, dangerous, expensive, and uncomfortable (one cannot always find a seat). I apologize, but I will never trade the comfort of my Mercedes Benz or the speed of my electric scooter for my daily commute.
It does however create a new problem that whether a work is infringing or not depends on the context of its use.

So if Warhol put his Prince artwork in a gallery it’s not infringing, but then if you take a photograph of that artwork in the gallery and use it in a magazine, that photograph of an artwork is magically infringing again?

It means that artworks can harbor zombie copyright claims that come back to life when you ‘hold it wrong’.

Whilst that is probably true, it is not necessarily true. Nothing fundamentally prevents GPT from synthesizing new and novel insights. If a novel insight is trivial to notice when combining knowledge from 4 disciplines, it could be neigh impossible for humans to find, and obvious to GPT.

Or perhaps the insight isn't trivial but follows analagous reasoning from some other obscure result. Or perhaps a million other things.

I don't mean to claim GPT will do this. I just mean to point out it can't be fully excluded GPT is able to.

While it’s true we own more cars because we can afford them, a large percentage of Americans require them.

Tiny remote communities rarely make enough for transport entities to care. For instance, without vehicles, in the village I live in, we’d probably be connected via bus to the nearby town, where you can do some shopping from a dollar store and get something to eat at restaurants, but to be connected to the various cities? They may have daily shuttles, but the population (<300) may not make this worth it. And as established in the thread public transport sucks and would make running errands impossible.

This doesn’t even compare to the truly remote individuals who live in the country miles out.

Honestly I feel like people who live in cities really lose their sense of scale for how large the US really is and how small a large percentage of communities are. I mean almost 1/3rd of the US population is crammed into less than 1% of the total surface of the USA. Using the 333 most populace cities in the USA gives an average population density of ~3,150/square mile. Out in the country where I live, we’re maybe 50/sqm, and further out that can drop to .25/sqm or lower.

Not to mention the fact that the reason public school buses work is because for the better part of the year the destinations are ironed out and rarely change. Little Æ is going from home to school and back 90% of the time. That simply doesn’t reflect an adult’s lifestyle, because while every child in a given area goes to a single school, jobs are much less localized. Not to mention errands, hobbies, visiting friends.

A bus schedule simply cannot replace the flexibility of a car to a large percentage of America.

These are markets that are being developed actively by car companies. This is not a natural evolution or a so far unmet need for freedom but a political and economical campaign to sell more cars to people in "emerging markets".
Pre 2010 (well pre 2008 to be fair) UK had a higher or similar per capita GDP as the US, now it’s not even close. If the current trend continues it will be almost double in a few years..

This.

The AirPods Pro were a game-changer for me: I could always have headphones in my pocket, and isolate myself from the world whenever I wanted. The 2nd generation surprised me with much better sound and noise cancelation.

Don't get me wrong: over-ear Sonys (I have those) will still sound better and remove more noise. And my B&O H6 gen2 sound much better still if there is no noise around. But I can't have any of those with me at all times, I can't wear them when it's really hot outside or when it's really cold (because of head coverings).

AirPods I just always throw in my jeans pocket and they work anytime, anywhere.

It's not about a "fashion statement" as some say, it's about a really good product that changes your life patterns because it works so well.

It's over but Intel's marketing department likes to redefine it to mean whatever suits the message of the day. You can read the original paper's definition and do the math on transistor counts say typical desktop processors and arrive at something well under 50% year over year growth over the last decade.

"The complexity for minimum component costs has in creased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year (see graph on next page). Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to continue, if not to increase."

Despite the hate they get, the App Store business model is actually pretty decent for most small developers. It’s the review process that sucks, and the payments usually become more of an issue when you start paying Apple millions a year.
I thought Moore's Law was dead long ago. I don't understand why some people still bring it up from time to time.

I remember reading in a magazine when I was a kid that Pentium 4 Extreme failed to reach 4.0 GHz in 2003 or 2004.

Since then, it took Intel quite some years to hit 4.0 GHz. Instead, the industry shifted to multi-core CPU, starting with the Core 2 series.

Does multi-core CPU count? I would say it's a bit of a stretch. It's more about horizontal scaling, where multi-CPU or even cluster also work in similar ways - there's no hard limit on how many CPUs you can add as long as you can cool them down. You can also make it much larger and sparse then put it in a large box to deal with the heating problem.

P.S. From the perspective of programming paradigm, people would then find "share nothing" and "message passing" is the way to harness concurrent and multi-core programming, after getting burned again and again with shared memory. These disciplines of not sharing RAM would further make multi-core more like programming on multi-CPU or clusters.
They're rich enough to have cars even if some are "pretending" through risky loans. Contrast that to poorer countries where many people can't even pretend to have a car.
Where I'm from in the EU, many shops are happy to go card-only because the card fees (with the aforementioned EU regulation) are lower than the costs and crime risk of dealing with cash (which for supermarkets etc that handle a lot of it might mean paying a security company to show up with an armored truck, having to prepare change, staff pocketing some of it, etc)

So if we're making customers pay the fees for their preferred payment method, is it also OK to charge cash customers a surcharge?

Musk has fallen off the rails completely in recent years. I guess being constantly told that you are the smartest man alive over and over does that to a man. He is genuienly embracing some fascist ideas lately though, and that's worrying because he is a global celebrity with a huge following, not some drunkard in a pub that no one listens to.
It's not as complicated as you're making it out to be. You don't need to moisturize, meditate, or keep a journal.

If you work for someone else, you don't need to plan your day. Just show up for work. If you don't have any goals, you don't need plan for them.

The journaling and meditation stuff is mostly posturing. Most people who say they do those things don't actually do them.

A very significant proportion of US population is covered by Medicaid and if more if you add Medicare. In fact the US government spends almost 50% more on healthcare than Britain does (and that’s only public spending..). The problem is that the system is simply extremely inefficient.

Just look at Switzerland healthcare is privatized to a much higher degree than in the US yet still more accessible…

Hmm, I think we are talking past each other. It isn't allowed without notice to MC/Visa, the cap is ~4% of the total, IIRC (which is usually far less than what I remember seeing when I last reported it a few years ago), and they require advance notice to the customer (before consumption) along with a line-item on the receipt.

Just because it is legal, doesn't mean they are doing it right -- and in my limited experience, they usually aren't.

...and then talks about buses. Buses? Ever heard of trains?

Commuting by car sucks. You have to actively participate in traffic, as opposed to just sitting on the train and reading a book, for example. In most EU large cities trains are faster and more convenient than cars. You also forget the fact that even in the 2x8 lanes of LA motorway systems you still get traffic jams, you cannot imagine what would happen if in an EU city all people would follow your advice.

And if you live closer to your work, you can hop on a bike (an ebike, even!), and enjoy some fresh air. Luckily on this side of the world people are not forced to live in those prison-like residential areas where the only way to get to anywhere is by car.
