Well your previous message suggested that it was not understood. Apparently it is, and you just disagree.

Then we seem to differ on our view of "equal rights". To me, the law defines what should not be done ("is illegal"), and how one prevents people from doing it. Now if the law defines a fine that is high enough to prevent me from doing something illegal, but seen by a super-rich like I would see 1 cent, then we are not equal: the super-rich is effectively allowed to do it (as in, "nothing prevents him from doing it, because from his point of view he doesn't have to pay anything"), and I am not (because I can't afford it).
That article says that BFRs only account for 20% of the flame retardant market, and the vast majority of that goes into printed circuit boards and electrical components.

There's no reference for that section, and I wonder if that calculation is by value, rather than by volume or weight, which would rather massively skew the calculation. Poisons don't usually care how much you paid for them.
This article cites an LA Times article as justification that “New York is one of the most violent cities in America,” but that cited LA Times article states that NYC is safer than the next six most populous cities and that the situation is far worse in other cities - and therefore, by their own logic, NYC isn’t one of the most violent cities in America. I wouldn’t put too much stock in it.
agree, looking at human history and climate history(30k thousand years back) we are in a blissful time with human lifespan being close to an all time high, war and famine are at all time lows. Medical advances are letting people who would have died or had a horrible existence lead normal lives. I read a ton of history and science books and I feel like people just have no idea how bad things used to be. And we go back even further there were things like the ice age, imagine how miserable your life would have been living through thousand year long winters with no warm weather at all.

Email isn't fully centralized, and the centralization seems to have plateaued. Fully hosting your own email server is difficult, but there are hundreds of non-Google/Microsoft/Apple hosts. If the Fediverse centralizes to the extent of email, I still prefer that to the current 100% siloization of all social media.

Email is also old and unextendable, whereas the Fediverse has interoperable stacks built on top of it, opening the door to better moderation and web-of-trust tools that help combat spam and decrease the pressure for centralization.

That's similar to how insurance companies operate in US. They'd take in customers, let those customers pay for the insurance every month, happily taking their money. But then, if there were any significant claims filed, they'd go combing through a person's medical history, application form mistakes, etc, and find an excuse to kick them out of the plan. "Oh, you didn't disclose that you had strep throat 7 years ago on the form, so we can't pay your $10000 one night hospital stay...". Affordable Care Act should have fixed that apparently, but who knows.

It's good to know Google is playing by the same rules.
Tripvalet.com Leaks Passwords and Stripe Credentials
This is the first Stripe breach I've found where the vendor didn't even bother to set a host password. All of their money was at risk. It's a good thing I'm so handsome and honest. They also leaked a bunch of plaintext passwords in an especially galaxy-brained way.

TL;DR - SF proper was a dumpster fire 10 years ago - I have no idea why its taken people so long to catch on to the fact. OP's story tracks 100%.

My experience is now 10 years old so factor that in. Even then the Lower Haight was still very bad, its just that it wasn't quite as bad as so many other areas. I lived there, trust me. If automatic gunfire, seeing women beaten on the sidewalk by guys jumping out of cars to steal their phones/purses, people pissing everywhere in clear view and vagrants yelling at you trying to start shit sound "normal" to you then you will love the place.

Hayes Valley turned to poo in the time I was there or so it appeared to my eyes. I've been chased by drug addicts who looked like they had leprosy in Columbus area (curiously they operated as a pack with one of them running distraction while the others tried to come up from behind - organized such that we had to literally run from the bunch of them). Even then I didn't like SOMA in general and doubly so for Market street. Walking around in the mornings seeing the cars that had been broken into on the daily. Stepping over people on the sidewalks on my way home at night. Kicking a vagrant out of my girlfriends parking garage (Bay Street - Marina area - the Nice Part).

Want to sit at some out door place with a coffee and be left alone? Forget about that. There were people coming into coffee shops and beating people out of their laptops even. At the time I was a 220 lb male who spent much time in the gym and it was obvious. That didn't stop multiple lunatics from trying to start trouble with me. The BART? Forget about the BART. One lunatic accosted my girlfriend right in front of me and his day ended poorly (this didn't happen just once either).

Want a nice walk through Golden Gate Park - HA!!! Surrounded by the roughest looking bunch of vagrants you've ever seen such that there's no way in hell I'm walking in there. Try walking out of the Safeway grocery market at 2020 Market St sometime with a decent haul of supplies (they're waiting for you).

I suppose if you wanted to live in Cow Hollow/The Marina area and literally never leave it you might have a minimally invasive experience. Not "nothing" mind you, just less than other areas nearby.

A friend invited me to join her on a trip to The City in August and I gave it a hard pass.

I'm sure someone here will pipe up and say Im hyperbolizing here but this was my experience - no - this was a fraction of my experience. 10 years ago it was every bit as bad as this and I have every reason to believe it kept on getting worse after I threw in the towel. Im shocked the pain tolerance of the city has been so high that its just getting attention in the past few years.
The baby boomers are commonly defined as being born from 1946-1964. Griswold v Connecticut which affirmed the rights of _married people_ to use contraceptives, was decided in 1965. Unmarried people didn't get the right to use contraception until 1972. Roe v. Wade wasn't until 1973. Even after those were decided, my understanding is that in a lot of places there was a strong stigma against family planning (i.e. just because you had a legal right to use contraceptives didn't mean your doctor would prescribe birth control). So for the generation you're talking about, the choice was often effectively not "should we not have (more) kids?" but "should we, a married couple, not have sex for a period of decades?" which is a lot tougher to choose.
These types of studies are so intensive you really need to know about the subject matter to follow completely.

I hate to ask this but is there anyone who can explain even the bulk of it for a layman?
It's funny because the grumpy old man is right, absolutely through and through, but because they're alone people ignore them.
That's just what Kyle Simpson says.

In any case it's not a meaningful distinction.
I am curious about the technical reasons motivating the requirement to login with a Mullvad account number while already using Mullvad VPN to reach Mullvad Leta.

The Mullvad website and the https://mullvad.net/en/check page show that Mullvad already has tools to detect users of its VPN.
That is the end goal. As an intermediary step though, people vote the company as a whole.

In Ethical Capitalism, corruption problems are much less, because it is much harder to corrupt 10 million people instead of 10 politicians.

Good approach. And with Postgres `DOMAIN` types features to DRY up the `CHECK` the live constraint, this should be very palatable. I usually opt for enum tables and regularly find myself needing to declare `archived_at` columns for said tables. Did not know of the `RENAME` command either and what you describe renders native enums less warty.
AOL moderators didn't pay from my recollection. And they were therefor screwed the same way Reddit moderators were (My neighbour back then was an AOL moderator, forgot how they were called)
Affects to what levels? 0.01% of decision?

I maybe living in a bubble, but none of my friends, including ones freaked out by climate change, didn't base their decision to have kids based on that.
Just out of curiosity, what is the average library size of your userbase?

I ask because my collection would throw me into the "big chungus" plan--maybe the default plan if I trimmed everything out that I'm not reasonably likely to actually listen to.

I have nothing wrong with the service, but for $20/mth, it would probably be cheaper for me just to buy a NAS with a 2TD drive and find some way to share it out over a VPN.
New features for SvelteKit: Optimize your application with ease
Acording to NOAA scales page for geomagnetic storms this is a K-index of 4 (Kp = 4) which is on the G1 scale. Here's what it reads:

Power systems: Weak power grid fluctuations can occur.

Spacecraft operations: Minor impact on satellite operations possible.

Other systems: Migratory animals are affected at this and higher levels; aurora is commonly visible at high latitudes (northern Michigan and Maine).

Somewhere between 7k-15k years ago there was a massive flood that changed the world. Every culture has stories of this flood in their mythology, e.g. Atlantis, and there is rich geological evidence for it.

What caused this flood?

Scientists theorize there was massive and rapid increase in temperature which quickly melted glaciers from an earlier ice age.

How did that happen? No one knows.

Why are there ice ages and why do they end?

No one knows.

Please do not tell your children their lives are meaningless unless we solve the intractable problem of climate change.

We can make the planet better in terms of clean air. water, and land, but changing weather patterns is orders of magnitude beyond us. We do not and likely never will have the technology to control the behavior of the massive nuclear furnace of the sun.

If idiocracy (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/) ever happens (or has already happened ;-), it is primarily because of the "smart" set doing exactly this. I was shocked at how few of the students in my evolutionary biology graduate program were planning to have kids. Having two kids or less is the definition of unfit parents (unless you are propagating clonally).
The complete lack of transparency and dishonestly that continues here is mystifying. There has been no attempt to reflect and fix any of the problems facing the project, nor has any mechanism been instituted to do so going forward.

I think the council should begin with releasing a full dump of "leadership chat" for everyone to see.
Not to mention that such requirements don't actually do what their proponents hope.
On the scale of the whole country the entire west coast is "pretty good".

SF is definitely not the best out of the entire coast, and if you consider its cost of living, the weather is trash for the cost. It's notoriously cold and wet for a substantial part of the year.
A Boy, His Brain, and a Decades-Long Medical Controversy
> BTW, how many LOC does Crater run in a full test, and how long does it take/how expensive is a run? I failed to find that information.

I have nothing more than a finger in the air estimate for LOC, maybe hundreds of millions?

I have never watched a "full test" like for a release build, I believe those take several days - but when Crater is asked just to build everything that takes a little under 24 hours with its current footprint.

> I strongly suspect VC++ changes/extensions are tested against in-house Microsoft code bases before making their way to the standard, because it makes no sense to undermine your own systems.

Surely it stands to reason that if Microsoft are proposing standardisation of a feature they've shipped in MSVC, that's also a feature they've tried using? This model of ISO C++ features (which the developer of Circle also prefers) maps much better to what was initially envisioned than today's reality however. Most C++ proposals today are not submissions of existing compiler features from the big three compilers (MSVC, GCC and Clang) but instead fresh before the committee, often with no implementation experience at all.

That's certainly one way to do it, after all Rust contributors don't have their own Rust compiler either, but it means you need very different tooling.

1) Breadth matters much more than depth for finding surprises which is the thing you won't get with an ad hoc approach. Going from 10% of some big corporate code base to 20% won't make anywhere near the difference you get from adding a hundred one-man-band projects that are smaller even in total, because different stylistic and idiomatic choices make so much more practical difference for this work.

2) As a result "a few dozen" won't cut it. Try all the C++ on github, that seems like a much better place to start.

3) Sure, the primary goal of WG21 proposers is to get into the IS - it would be nice if what they've proposed actually works, but ultimately if it doesn't work that can be fixed later, whereas if it's not adopted then it doesn't matter whether it would work.

Arguably there have never been any versions of the C++ IS which actually describe a complete working programming language, so it's not terribly important that if it were such a system it would be correct, still there's a preference for fewer rather than more horrible gotchas.

I mentioned #embed so that's a useful example here, C++ 23 doesn't standardize #embed. So in theory C++ code can't use #embed, that's not C++. But of course in reality the vendors are going to ship a pre-processor which handles #embed, they don't care, so it'll work and it's widely expected you will be able to use it even in older C++ verisons.

4) If there was a specification then a tool like Crater might be somewhat helpful for that, but I expect that most effort would remain focused on a single implementation, today that is of course the Rustc compiler with its LLVM backend.

The hypothetical EESmith Rust sounds spurious to me, how could it deliver 2x run-time performance by removing "rarely used features" ? I don't think spurious hypotheticals are a good use of anybody's time.
If I dedicate every free penny I have to fighting climate change, that will do absolutely nothing compared to the impact of unreported gas leaks in natural gas pipelines.

Humans aren't good at thinking at scale, so we easily imagine (or wish) that individual donations can make a difference, when we are fighting systematic problems.

Or to give another example, home glass recycling does nothing when every nearly company has switched over to selling their products in plastic bottles.
ChatGPT creator OpenAI asked EU for weaker AI regulations
People might be interested that there are lots of free apps that will tell you what the k index is and maybe send you a notification if it goes above a certain number. Around here numbers above seven are interesting.
Let's put this in context, Reddit has somewhere in the region of 1.2 Billion users a month and supposedly earn somewhere in the region of $350Million a year in advertising revenue. This is a very good business and something that could easily be profitable.

The issue is they took in VC investment at a $10Billion+ valuation and for that $350M is not enough they need to probably triple it to get somewhere close to that valuation.

So let's not confuse on paper profitability with desired profitability at current VC valuation.
It doesn't matter that it requires effort. You don't get a gold star in these scenarios simply for putting in effort. If you didn't spend any time thinking about what someone in these scenarios might truly NEED, you're at best wasting everyone's time, and at worst doing harm to those you're intending to help.

If you saw someone broken down on the side of the highway, and decided you would "help" by pulling over and rummaging around in their engine bay with a cheery attitude, then by your metric this is fine because it requires effort and arguably some risk. Who wouldn't want this kind of help, right?
Agreed we need to take things into our own hands and feel responsible. I do not believe the solution is to vote for slightly different people. The problem is that a central authority is always doomed to fail. The world is too complex now. We need to decentralize decisions, and vote in a much more granular fashion.
> "Russia doesn't really have a benefit of destroying the dam because it is their civilian population and military downstream that are the most affected"

(just this among others) Considering how (russian) soldiers are sent in battle in this -war-, an civilians (any type, russian-speaking and russian-oriented included) and put under undiscriminate fire in those areas, the above statement is senseless.
High-level politicians in Russia seems to not care this at all.

(About analysis) A deluge of data can hide truth as a deluge of water can cover a land.
Long term, I don't think this will matter though. If your house is underwater, your farm stops surviving winter, or your heating/cooling costs become untenable, you'll be force to change how you live regardless of what you believe.
This is misleading. All problems are easier to bear when you are connected to people dealing with the same problem. Conversely, all problems are harder to bear when you must deal with it alone, particularly when you feel you MUST deal with it alone. The implication is that if you feel lonely you should not seek out others, but rather others who feel lonely. They will understand you, and you them, and you can talk or sit or simply know that you exist, in far larger numbers than you'd expect, and find great comfort in the thought.
People have been saying "You can't tell the difference between X and Y" since the dawn of HD graphics in general.

"You can't tell the difference between HD and FHD." FHD and QDH. QHD and 4K. 4k and 8K. 60FPS and 120. 120 and 240. A higher resolution texture. Higher resolution audio. A higher resolution mesh. Etc.

Every single time someone makes the claim it makes no difference, yet we do it regardless.

For something that seemingly makes no difference, people sure seem to continue improving it regardless. And shockingly, consumers seem to really enjoy the products too.
Not sure if you got my point but wanted to be pedantic, or didn't get my point at all.
GenAi can do useful work, blockchain can idk transfer wealth? have programs that work exactly like every other transactional program, but some of the bits are now on the user computer so that everyone is at risk of losing them? reimplementing banks from first principles, but with no guarantees, while speed running frauds?

now, it's true that everyone is jumping on the bandwagon etc, but the two tech are foundamentally different in usefulness.

Oh, interesting. I never thought of it that way. I think UX shadows are pretty universally meant to indicate the effect of floating cards rather than solid boxes (or "extruded").

But if you wanted a box to cast a shadow, I think you're better off rendering it in 3D software and then applying it as an image behind your element. Layering a bunch of guassians isn't going to look right either.

I would be interested if CSS ever decided to implement an "extruded" shadow option separate from the existing floating/gaussian one. I'm not sure there's much demand for it though? Not to mention I think it might be much more computationally expensive.
I think you are a bit harsh.

You are thinking like an engineer, you analyze the problem, and try to find the most efficient solution. It is also my line of thought.

But many people don't think like that. They value action and instinct above thinking and planning, and to be fair, sometimes, it is for the best. But sometimes, they do counter productive things that are infuriating for people with the mindset of an engineer.

It doesn't mean they are not good people. They can be the kind who will run to save you while the engineer type will be stuck there thinking about the best course of action. I think society needs both.

Sorry to disappoint; you're right, this architecture is not highly optimized for RAM usage! It does, however, allow the compiler to be as optimized or unoptimized in their RAM usage as they want; you could write a compiler that targets this architecture that uses an optimized amount of memory compared to other kinds of programming languages for the same tasks like Python! Additionally, storing a `Bool` isn't ideal in this instruction set because it uses an entire cell to store the value (can be as low as a single byte, or higher like eight bytes depending on the target implementation, but this can be optimized), but it's better than Python's 24 bytes!

Thanks for the feedback!
Would it have a meaningful impact on the ocean if we threw the salt back in?
If you put something in the water, the water is going to dissolve a bit of stuff, and will now be impure water. So it is impossible for "pure water" to be dangerous in this way.
My guess is because there was a study reported on last week that talked about benzene emissions from gas stoves.
Stanford Alumni 5x More Likely to Secure VC Funding Than Carnegie Mellon
I'm really badly faceblind and besides could probably lose a searchlight in a letterbox, but I'm bright so I solve (and re-solve!) lots of things from first principles whenever I need them. I don't seem to have trouble coming up with good hypotheses under pressure and I'm a good inventor.

Anyway for what it's worth I think memory is a faculty like an arm or leg, but creativity is quite different and pertains somehow to the person's "spirit".
JD Power has Rivian, MINI and Kia scoring higher than any Tesla model.[1]

Polestar, Ford VW, Audi and Hyundai are in the same ballpark for ratings.

Several of those manufacturers have cars in the 30K range, well below the prices Tesla is starting at.

That moat seems pretty small these days.
