That probably varies a lot by region and neighborhood. My neighbors and I don't usually stop at our stop sign. But the sight lines are good and none of us drive faster than 15 mph, so formally stopping just because there is a sign is not worth much. If someone is walking or riding their bike, we stop for them whether there's a stop sign or not. We did have a neighbor once who tended to speed, but peer pressure turns out to be pretty effective, he drives as slow as the rest of us now.

They are building a very cool product. The difference is the following: (1) we focus on the entire infra and env management apart from being a kubernetes PaaS. This means you can setup cloud infra like managed kafka (MSK), docdb, SQS, CloudSQL, etc. as a part of your env without resorting to a different tool. Our customers love that single-pane experience. (2) We have no on-cluster agents and all code that runs on your cluster is yours alone (3) there is a slight difference in transparency vs ux tradeoff. We have a few more knobs you can control and that leads to more user involvement during setup.

From a value perspective, we have a simple per-seat pricing.
OK, but you are completely wrong, which you can demonstrate to yourself just by walking outside and looking at the license plates of pickup trucks.
You claim it increased safety. You repeat this claim in your last sentence, qualifying it with "marginal." It seems central to your point, not orthogonal.

> I think it should be obvious that [Oregon mandatory gas attendants law] ... is at least marginally an increase in safety.

I don't agree that it's obvious and doesn't need substantiation. Note that I am not disagreeing with your claim, just asking for substantiation.
And thank _you_ for your thoughtful response!
When the fee is clearly higher than what it's costing them. Either by the percentage itself, or often, a "minimum fee amount" that really exceeds the actual cost. A $2 minimum charge, for example, is somewhat common for things where the item/service is often much less than $100.

It would be simpler (and perhaps even overall more economic) to just replace the coal-fired boiler with a resistively heated thermal store. This would not generate energy, just store it (rather inefficiently), but the marginal cost need not be very high.
yeah, hard disagree. Once you burn out, you are way too late to just find a new job.

I'm currently going though something close to a burn out, things like making coffee can make me cry. Haven't slept more than 3 hours in a month and can barely form a coherent sentence half the time. But hey, at least now i know i need to find a new job! Sure that is gonna go great.

There's more than two tiers to the justice system. Poor people basically have no access to it at all: they can't afford the lawyers to stand up for their rights. Poor people are also disproportionately punished for the same crimes that a middle-class person might also commit. And middle class people go to jail for things that executives get away with all the time, and CEOs are untouchable. Elected politicians seem to get the best treatment though

Counter-point: SVB's funds were in treasury bonds. Their losses were entirely paper losses caused by the Fed's decision to aggressively raise interest rates.

The government caused this, so it's not unreasonable to expect that the government pay for the damaged caused. This was a completely predictable outcome of aggressive rate hikes - banks buy a whole lot of t-bonds.

T-Bonds can lose money on paper. If someone buys a 1% 2-year T-Bond for $100 (expecting $102 in two years), and the next year, rates go to 3%, the book value of that bond (what it can be sold on the open market for) is now $99 because of how bond values are determined.
You might be projecting a little bit. There's a reason we say that people with trucks like that are compensating; it's because they are.

But Apple did for many years, no? If Atom was obviously and unambiguously better for the use case, Atom would've been successful for that use case.

I built a reasonably popular podcast feed validator and don't understand which part is a mess. If you wouldn't mind sharing, I know the Podcast Standards Project folks are considering what their next project should be.

> …the paragraphs there are rather baffling to me in their untempered praise for Apple and condemnation of (unspecified) others.

Spotify's embrace/extend/extinguish approach successfully killed the original "open medium" meaning of the word "podcasting". Whatever your other critiques of Apple, they worked within the RSS standard.
I see the thing about "Oh it is SUVs" holds up to any level of scrutiny when compared against other places?

In London at least there are a lot of SUVs now. Granted they are not all as huge as your quintessential escalade or Tahoe (which incidentally you do see the odd imported one) but there are more larger cars on the roads these days. Are pedestrian deaths also increasing as a result too?

I'm not sure if I fully understand what exactly "Ayb" is. Maybe a diagram/visual image would help to clarify the flow and architecture?

From the example it seems like it is a CLI that will create SQLite databases, and then runs an HTTP server that passes through queries to the underlying database?

Not trying to be critical but a few questions:

- What is the appeal of a CLI for creating SQLite databases when you can create one by making a new file like "my_db.sqlite3"?

- If it's meant to make the DB setup process easier for students, how does it create and run Postgres or MySQL etc? It seems like you have to already have a running DB server and then configure the credentials, versus something like starting a server using Docker and auto-wiring the credentials.

- For exposing an HTTP API on top of databases, as a heads-up there are tools like Apache Avatica which let you query any DB that has a JDBC driver over HTTP, JDBC, and gRPC. https://calcite.apache.org/avatica/docs/json_reference.html

>I view this largely as a deficiency in style guidance, but Scala attracts very opinionated people in my experience and I say good luck to any style guide being upheld across a large org or team.

That's a great point, and probably one of the biggest downfalls of Scala. Not only did it allow for both 'java++' style programming, it also had full on almost 'haskell' style as well, and the community was split on which way was better!

So yeah, any given codebase in the company could be a very tight, neat, compact monad transformer heavy functional program, or it could be a mess of untyped actors passing messages around to mutable state ridden monstrosities!

As nice as that is for a quick overview, the whole story was told rather well by Gibbon in his "History of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire".

If that has whet your appetite and you'd like a more in-depth telling of just this episode then you can skip right to : https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/895/pg895-images.html#l... and enjoy.

If you have an inclination, I'd heartily recommend the entire set of books. As an anecdote, it took me 2 years of reading 10-20 minutes per night most nights. I found it extremely enlightening and entertaining (Gibbon has a wicked wit).

As much as Gibbon is not in fashion these days, the research I did showed that the essential parts of our understanding of the nuts and bolts of the history haven't changed since it was written, and I don't think anyone else has contextualized and editorialized the whole story with as much intelligence and careful thought since.

I also found pretty well all the complaints about Gibbon's interpretation to have actually been though about and answered _by_ Gibbon in the text (in eloquent detail!), which I found surprising given the frequency with which he seems to be dismissed with simplistic arguments.

Indeed, with even a halfway decent sports car, a roundabout isn't a traffic calming measure, it's a little bit of excitement. If you want to slow traffic down, put in an Indian style speed bump. Though in the US you'd probably have vandals taking it a jackhammer to it the next day.
The benchmark for the experiment is the control group. The control group is comprised of states without this law, over the relevant time period (when the law was in effect).
Half guessing:

They are not using a single atom. They have millions of millions of millions of atoms. Each atom is trapped with an organic molecule (there is an image near the bottom of the article). All the organic molecules are connected to a flat surface.

They move down the tip of the tunnel microscope slowly until it's near the surface, and then they move it to the sides until the tip is near the one of the atoms they want to analyze. (It's probably slightly more complicated.)

They use the x-ray to illuminate all the surface. The x-ray allow more/less tunneling, so the current in the tip changes.

So they have millions of millions of millions of atoms, but the tip is only near one of them. They are only measuring that atom. All the other atoms are just ignored, because tunneling is a very short range effect.
For clarity, I'm totally for this suit, and hope that the public can claw back those dollars.

But in the grand scheme of things, that seems like such a minor technicality. $6 to $15 here or there, a couple times a year on vacation, is way better than the alternative systems that were common before recreation.gov, with faxed lotteries, long delays, and high uncertainty. It used to be common that you'd just have to drive to the place, wait an hour or two in line, pay the admission fee (if you don't have a annual pass), then sign up for some lottery on the spot at like 7am and wait a few hours to hear back. If you don't get it, well, there goes your plans... but you're already there.

By contrast, a small fee here and there for the ahead-of-time guarantee of a reservation is totally worth it. $130,000 to run a lottery system effectively? That's not a whole lot. Even if it costs a few million, nationally, to run them... that's nothing. I can pretty much guarantee you the NPS, USFS, and BLM together wouldn't be able to run a smooth national reservation & lottery system with the same budget and fees. The agencies themselves are so far removed -- in both mission and skill set -- from modern app UX that they probably wouldn't be able to get the job done even with 10x the budget.

I don't doubt that the contractor (Booz Allen Hamilton) is a scumbag for pocketing those fees, which are unnecessary to begin with (it's not like it costs $15 in CPU or human processing time to do a change). It'd be great if the public gets those back.

All I'm saying is that recreation.gov is totally and absolutely worth it despite these fees, despite the increased costs to the public, because it actually works, vs the chaos that came before it. That website makes public lands FAR more discoverable, accessible, and reliable -- at the cost of minor corruption. I think that is an ultimately acceptable tradeoff, even if it's not ideal. (And it's not like I'm some libertarian; I love our parks and public lands, but digital anything just really isn't their strong suit. I'm grateful they outsourced it.)

Maybe what we need, in lieu of effective federal digital agencies, is some sort of public-FOSS partnership that can take the place of public-private partnerships. But that's much harder for the agencies to deal with than a central commercial entity with designated contacts, support, etc. And the FOSS model isn't really set up to communicate in the real world with the super complicated division of public lands across federal/state/local/agency divides, each with their own little fiefdoms and idiosyncrasies and rules and regulations.

I wonder how other countries manage similar use cases (digital presence for public lands)? Recently went hiking in Taiwan and reserved a trail permit; the UX was terrible even by 90s standards -- at least it was online -- but at least it worked. Not sure how they funded it, but I don't remember there being any fees.

I'm a little surprised at the initial confusion about the source of lead, or perhaps it's the way the article has been written. As someone who grew up in India, our school textbooks in the 90s had a list of common food adulterants, and turmeric adulteration with lead chromate was common knowledge to middle schoolers. I recall the curriculum included how to detect adulteration with simple at home tests. After turmeric, the next suspect probably would be yellow lentils.

EDIT: actually the next suspect should be red chillis, adulterated with lead oxide.

On an aside, food adulteration used to be such a common social menace in India in the 70s & 80s, such that it was a common theme in the backdrop of Bollywood films, with the hero taking on local mafia bosses who also dabble in food adulteration. India did a mediocre job controlling the rampant food adulteration, with the last major case I recall being an outbreak of Epidemic Dropsy in 1998 due to contamination of mustard oil. There's been cases every once in a while, though I suspect in those cases it is inadvertent contamination with Argemone plants growing in mustard fields.
Good question. Most turmeric roots I've bought aren't nearly as bright orange as the powered stuff. I _assume_ that means they're not applying the same chromate brightening agent but it's not impossible.

I guess I'll have to start growing it myself...
> Are stop signs really that common in NA?

More common than yield signs, by far. Which is probably why most people treat them as yield signs.
Yes, I'm not advocating for unchecked sprawl, all I'm saying is that there's a middle ground between suburban hell and Blade Runner dystopia, which brings me back around to my recommendation for six-ish-story buildings.

My big question: what have you learned while working on this (very cool) project?
I want to add a technical factor - the thing that slows me down the most is lack of knowledge about peripheral operational details - what all the configuration files do, how my repository is templating something from a different repository, how all the deployment steps get executed etc. It’s a lot of details, many systems, some of which you only touch rarely so it’s very easy to lose track of things.

There's two effects of the protests.

There's the effect on reddit, I don't feel qualified to quantify it, but it's the smaller of the two.

There's the effect on every single competitor, it's a huge positive one.

Competitors can only grow so fast, infrastructure takes time to scale, communities take time to organize and build. The most similar reddit alternatives (kbin, lemmy, specialized forums) have been growing as quickly as they possible could under the circumstances.

There still not big enough to absorb all of reddit, but they are a lot closer than they were, because of the protest. That's a huge accomplishment, and a long term existential threat to reddit.

To say the "protest has accomplished absolutely nothing" is highly ignorant.
Remotely Exploitable DoS Vulnerabilities Patched in Bind
You’re both kinda right — yes GP’s evaluation was (probably) why the Elon transaction happened, and also it would not have had to happen if the owners were a handful of private individuals who didn’t mind passing up a majorly overvalued offer like that.

Of course, anyone at all who cares about money would have been a fool not to force him to buy it once he screwed up by bluffing in a way that made him contractually obligated to execute the transaction! So in practice, since even super-rich people love getting more money and non-rich people really want to become rich, good luck in practice spinning a hypothetical where Twitter owners would have said no, especially considering what a dog the company was already in terms of making money.

We need the supposed ‘smartest guys in the room’ to be less dumb and do due diligence and we need strong consequences for founders that misstate their company’s position.
Under fractional reserve banking, savings account deposits are lent out, which hopefully does result in productive investment

As I understand it, western retail banks that take deposits are fractional reserve banks, and have to be if they pay interest on deposits; after all, banks don't generate revenue from just looking after your money (unless they charge you for it, perhaps in the form of a negative interest rate)

The item of value being offered by the lottery is taxpayer funded, whereas most lotteries fund prizes via the proceeds of the lottery tickets.

In this way, it can be considered exploitative since the proceeds don’t go back into “the pot” to any degree.
The objection is that this is a government monopoly funnelling money to a private company beyond what GP (and myself) consider to be a reasonable profit margin.
I'm not saying they shouldn't. But it's a leap to attribute to malice what is easily explained by ignorance.
