How can you be so sure? You haven’t used current gen VR enough to even make that strong of an assertion, right?

Yes, I do enjoy the alternatives you’ve listed, but they are expensive in terms of time and coordination. I just don’t always have that time during the weekdays and even on some weekends, and neither do my friends and family.

There’s also the pollution aspect since not everyone has good public transit or lives close enough to a gym or court to bike

agreed, subsidize all 2 wheeled city-speed-appropriate transport options!
Are they not built to last, or are they just abused and neglected? I suspect that personally-owned scooters tend to be kept somewhere safe and taken care of. VC-owned rental scooters tend to get trashed, because no one suffers a personal loss if a particular scooter becomes trash.
> God created the Sun on the first and fourth days.

To be pedantic, the creation of the first day was light and darkness. The fourth day was the things that emit light: the sun, stars, and moon. I mean, it's still somewhat weird because it seems like it's inventing effect before cause, but the sun is very clearly not being invented on the first day.

The more fun contradiction is that Jesus' genealogy from David is given twice... and both of them are completely different.

It is instruction-tuned with very flatly-written responses. That makes the structure of the response more informative and less playful.

Personally I like the no-bullshit approach, but you could also fine-tune a personality if you wanted.
Passenger vehicles is the vast majority, so the majority of infrastructure cost and especially land use is a direct result of car-centrism. But you still make an important point: even old cities in Europe rely on (usually a bit smaller) trucks, today, for deliveries of goods in the city. And blue light traffic is still dependent on roads and streets. Bikes and e-bikes use so little space it’s a rounding error.

Sure I think that makes sense within reason. I also think that many would want one that has more of personality and I am wondering why no one has built this
Like mentioned it's not just population growth. It's population growth alongside the fact that there's more pedestrians than ever. And unfortunately I missed probably also perhaps the single biggest factor: smart phones. Not only do you have more pedestrians than ever, they're also now going to be walking around with their faces shoved into a smart phone instead of paying attention to their surroundings.

That pedestrian deaths were higher at some point in the past is what's the real story here.
Get DNS service with ad blocking, like NextDNS. It's pretty easy to set up, I'm using it on my Android phone and iPad. It's free for up to 300,000 queries per month (I've never exceeded this limit, for reference I made 100,000 queries on my phone this month). It also has a lot of configurability (You can select specific blocklists, whitelist sites and etc.).
It's not as good as a dedicated AdBlocker like UBlock Origin , it won't be able to block YouTube ads for example, but it's far better than nothing.
Means someone out there still got a new e-bike. That didn't make the world worse off than it was before.
This is hilariously wrong.

Yes in a country of 1 billion people there are dodgy apartments, but then again in my country of 26 million people an estimated 60% of new apartments have flaws, big ones in the middle of Sydney have been deemed unlivable only a few years after being built.

China overbuilds entire cities and everyone mocks them for it, but a few years later those cities fill up and people conveniently forget about that.

Even the commentator who coined the term Ghost Cities admits they have become functional economic powerhouses.

I had a similar issue - the glass on the back of my Pixel (5 I think?) cracked right by the power button, and it seemed to be kind of OK but I got a new phone anyway, but left the old one in my glove box of my car where I used it for the bluetooth entry to the parking garage at work (and because re-enrolling was a pain). It didn't have the sim setup or wifi enabled so didn't think much of it.

This worked fine for a few months, just turning it on at the gate then off afterwards and threw it back in the glove compartment.

Until one day driving home I heard a weird beeping, then a voice from the glove box asking what my emergency was. I shouted back pulling over and fumbling to get the phone out, and told the responder my phone had called them by itself. I was a little surprised as I thought every call, even abandoned, had to be followed up on, in case there was coercion? But I guess not if you just blame the phone. I guess the buttons had shorted to turn the phone on, then ended up going into the emergency call? I couldn't even turn it off at that point as the power button refused to work and the digitizer was partially non-functional.

A bit of a pain, and a (hopefully small) waste of an emergency responder's time, but I can see this sort of thing being relatively common - in "normal use" I've had my phone somehow end up on the emergency call menu, just being jostled and unlocked or fat fingering the wrong buttons, so wouldn't be surprised if unneeded emergency calls are relatively common on even fully functional devices.

But I guess that cost is worth paying if it's more convenient and quick when there is an emergency?
I’d love to get an e-bike, but I have no indoor garage to keep it in, and they get stolen at a fast clip in my area (Ballard in Seattle). If the police were more aggressive (or even just nit apathetic) to bike thefts, I would totally consider it.
It took me a while to understand Lemmy/Kbin but this is how I now think of it. ActivityPub is basically a tool for people to start clones. It's as if someone can just download the code and start running "reddit" on their own server. Their server then has it's own users and "subreddits".

This is where the ActivityPub comes in. It lets the server graft in foreign "subreddits" from other servers and work with foreign users. This is where the federation/defederating comes in.

Basically you want to join a server that has a server local community you like and that also has a good reputation amongst other servers in the fediverse.

Ultimately, the fediverse seems to be little more than not having to create a new account on every server. So picking your "home" server seems to be a little more important than the "pick a server, any server" hype.

Beyond that the main difference in servers is whether you prefer the lemmy or kbin user interface. (You can use kbin communities on lemmy and vice-versa)

I ended up signing up at programming.dev, and I have subscribed to a few communities on beehaw.org (much more established communities) and kbin.social. But so far it seems to all be tech related.

Yes, I’m sure that Twitter and Reddit are going to take the world by storm any day now.

But, if you really want to look at the biggest companies in tech:

1. Apple was founded in 1977 and never racked up huge losses

2. Microsoft was profitable before it went public in 1980 and only took investor funding later on because BG wanted advice

3. Google never lost huge amounts of money

4. Facebook was profitable before going public and only went public because they had so many shareholders that they had the same reporting requirements as a public company.

5. Amazon (disclaimer my employer) is the only one that took huge losses early on.

So which “monopoly” do you believe operated at huge losses that is now successful?
Build it into the cost of your product for these customers. Are you charging enough? Consider charging more! What’s your cost per hour of the person filling these out?
That’s the opposite of what we need. Bikes should be unencumbered by all that crap. Helmets are a good idea and may save some money but it would be better to make those free as part of the deal than to regulate them. I don’t understand the argument for registration, plates, motorcycle, etc. We’re talking about low speed, low risk, low property damage. Sure, you can die or cause death on one but it’s so much less likely than a car and the exercise alone would have a positive impact in the U.S. that could very well offset the costs.
I think GP is trying to say there should be some sort of physical barrier (plastic posts, or potted plants or anything) to prevent the cars from crossing the line. Even we're serious about keeping cars out of bicycle lanes, there should be a physical barrier separating cars from bicycle lanes.

What does Stadia have to do with this?

From the article, this isn't about streaming games, it isn't about physical controllers, this isn't related to Stadia in any way at all.

It seems to just be small puzzle type games etc, like games you would play on Facebook.

If YouTube thinks it might be able to have a "games" tab, I mean why not? Or if YouTube Kids comes with age-appropriate games?

I'm baffled by why the article assumes it's necessarily going to bad, without even having tried it. I mean, with that attitude, why ever build anything new at all?
I don't understand the near zero emissions bit, as c02 is a product of any combustion. Is the argument that it's just significantly less?

Sure you do - don’t use Twitter or Reddit. Problem solved.
I agree; it's as abstract as software but you can't really go to school to learn about it. It's more of an indictment of the tribal nature of humans and today's popular political narratives than of the intelligence of the OP's, who I assume are very smart. Deep-rooted emotions like jealousy and fear of the unknown can lead to shallow dismissals of complex and important systems.

It would be slightly amusing to see some sort of HFT ban, only to see people speedrun re-inventing HFT as numerous problems unfold, like dad putting in a market order for AAPL on a day it had a VWAP of $185 and having his trade execute at an average price of $690. Or more serious problems like shortages and surpluses of commodities in different locations due to bad price information.

> What we need is a serious conversation around zoning and building communities in such a way that walking, scooters, and bikes become viable for 50%+ of peoples daily commuting.

Isn’t the problem that the “communities” are already built? I live around 20-25 miles from the major employment centers other than medical offices/hospitals and can’t help but think that most people aren’t going to start walking, scootering, or biking no matter what. I’d think subsidies for additional WFH would make a far bigger difference (based on the minuscule commuting traffic I observed during early-ish Covid).
They came from a different time when we didn't care about the lives of construction workers. We have unions now to protect workers' rights and we have regulations and code to protect people living in these buildings.

That's why they say regulations are written in blood. People have lost their lives so that we can have the rules and regulations that keep our standard of living so high.

We need more regulation, not less. OceanGate has just reminded us of that. We should take five souls worth of lessons to heart.

> this permits companies to increase prices, and produce higher profits. Note, their upstream providers are doing the same, and some of these higher profits will be passed on upstream.

No, upstream price increases are included as a part of their increased expenses. Any increase in profits is on top of this.
Julia does some great work distilling topics into cartoon-looking zines and this one is great. It's an awesome way to describe the topic to non-tech-heavy folks (and for the nerdy too /wink).

I think something that would make me consider using this, is auto-completion support. I've added it to a lot of my own commands and it is awesome. I think compared to this tool, raw docker commands using tab completion would still be faster for me.
I tested this. My phone does indeed have a network connection in the microwave.
That's true. It's been noted that, "The things that make TikTok or Twitter worth reading are generated by users who feel like they’re creating things."[1]. So the platforms and their defenders may try to portray users as getting something for free, the reality is that the users themselves are the ones that create the "something" that has real value. Almost anyone on HN will tell you they can effortlessly create a Twitter/reddit/IG clone, but they're wrong: They're only creating a mechanism. The real value lies in the content.

Gboard is atrocious. My typing accuracy dropped at some point while on my Pixel 3 XL and never recovered.

I bought the base model Radrunner (used from Craiglist) and it's been great.

If you're a cyclist, you may balk at the goofy design. But it's great for getting around town. You can zip-tie a milk crate on the back to hold your stuff.
Love this idea! I've long thought that E-bikes are a gateway-drug to normal bikes and better health.

Years ago I had a bad knee injury and for a while I didn't have the range of motion to peddle a normal bike. So I bought an E-bike with a throttle (it's basically a motorcycle in every way except the regulation). But, when I was able to ride a regular road bike again, I opted for it instead.

Later, my mother in her 60s came to visit and we went on a 25 mile ride. She LOVED it. I gave it to her and she took it home. My dad liked it so much that he bought one too and now they go out on long 40 mile E-bike rides.

They love it. I joke that I saved their marriage. I'm not sure it's really a joke. They wouldn't be able to get out and get this much enjoyment on regular bikes.

E-bikes are accessible to nearly everyone. It's a fabulous way to cut down on our obsession in the USA!
The subreddits that are more advice-seeking based (i.e. self-post only, no link submissions) seem to be okay and I have not found anything similar in Fediverse yet.
> The idea is that if the other area of code simply isn't accessible to you, you're forced to keep the concerns separate? Seems like this could be dealt with by applying more discipline and just making sure to design things to be more modular and.. separate. This is the hallmark of any good code base. Do we need an entirely different architecture, with all the pitfalls that microservices entail, because we can't seem to keep things clean and separate?

Yes, because code is written by humans, and humans make mistakes. "Just have discipline and write good code" doesn't scale, especially in, as Uber's case, quickly growing organizations where large numbers of people new to the codebase are contributing.
I've wanted many times a voltmeter dash gauge, something that used to be standard. A voltmeter will tell you if your charging system is working properly, and if your battery is dying. Having an app do that for you is like firing an 88mm flak gun at a cockroach.

I don't know why Apple cannot vet these apps for transmitting data irrelevant to its stated purpose before they approve it for the walled garden.
They might not have a designated place to park it outside, and not enough room to park it inside. If the neighborhood is dangerous, just parking it outside is risking theft. It is harder to steal a car, since you can’t just pick it up and go.

It’s the main reason I’m not considering an e-bike right now even though I have an EV. It helps that I can just walk to anything I need to get to on daily basis (eg kid’s school is 7 minutes away by walking).
Many projects are started, but only to accelerate the compilation of ecmascript. None succeed.
So you have zfs on the VM host, that is, where you run your VMs...

When the VM goes to do a write, the VM thinks the data is on disk, but it could still be sitting in the ZIL/SLOG on the host. If you run into issues with the SLOG, you could potentially lose writes and scramble the zvol.

Of course you can get around this somewhat by using sync=always on the zvol, at the cost of write performance.
While I've never had issues from incomplete writes, it seems bad to risk leaving the host in charge of when the data actually gets written.

Not to mention, if you're using a filesystem on the VM that writes all over the zvol, you wind up snapshotting more blocks than you need to if you leave it up to the host.

On my setup, I run with sync=always/logbias=throughput/primarycache=none/secondarycache=none for the zvol, and use zfs in the VM... as well as make the snapshots inside the VM.
Even without this though, the end result is usually the rider puts out nearly as much power and just goes faster.

An assist won't be as much exercise as no assist, but it's still exercise.

Not exactly. Probiotics tend to have transitory effects, so you have to keep taking them to see the benefits.

You'd need to significantly change your diet and lifestyle to have a chance at generating any positive changes to your gut microbiome that will persist.

Trying this for a few minutes as someone who has used Apollo for a lot of my mobile Reddit browsing over the past few years, this is accurate enough to almost fool me into thinking I'm using Apollo, despite Apollo being a native iOS app and WefWef being a web app. The image viewer is the biggest thing that feels different to me, but I'm sure it will be improved over time. Advanced settings are also missing but that's not as noticeable (in Apollo I usually set the default sort to recent). Unfortunately it has to proxy requests because of CORS but it looks like that requirement will be removed soon: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3301

If e-bikes are great then people will buy them. We really need to start cutting subsidies instead of creating more. Focus on the big problems in our economy such as fostering healthy competition, reducing M&A and anti-competitive behavior, supporting small business, etc... These subsidies will just go into the pockets of the big entrenched players making the wealthy even more so and reducing innovation.
