People who are invested in these things are motivated to prop up the prices for as long as they can, until they can't and the bottom drops out.

It's not a normal supply/demand curve because the demand is not just lower, in a lot of cases it's gone and not coming back at any price.

It definitely works better on pop songs or music with repeating choruses or patterns as those can be matched to each other more easily. What kind of music did you try it with?
Seems to me that we've speed run the story of why suburban sprawl exist in the first place.

A car is a machine to provide negotiating leverage in real estate markets.

Dense urban centers, while awesome in many ways, easily lend themselves to the development of grassroots real estate cartels made up of property owners who block new construction to profit from real estate appreciation. As this occurs people are forced further and further out to find affordable places to live. Eventually the jobs start to follow, leading to tax base collapse and urban decay. This leads to a death spiral of urban decay, crime, and population flight.

Then the city gets cheap and people start to move in again. Repeat cycle. Cities get cool -> people move in -> cities get expensive because you can't build -> people move out -> cities collapse.

There are places that seem able to avoid this cycle, such as Tokyo, but AFAIK that relies on a different kind of governance regime that takes zoning away from local bodies and enforces a uniform pro-density zoning code at the city or even larger scale. Basically you have to break the NIMBY cartel. It also involves very proactive transit policies that build out transit to match density.

Of course it could also be due in part to Japan's declining population, which makes it pretty hard to have real estate inflation.
Well I have some other things in my hand rn, but I'm determined to do it because there's no other way to achieve what I want in mobile. A few weeks later, probably.

I'd recommend shimming the fundamental Chrome Extension APIs too, like those for DOM manipulation and web requests. This would support a great number of Chrome extensions.

I think it's just people defining loophole differently. In our minds, it sure sounds like some unintended trickery to get around a rule. I think OP is saying that it was known and intentional. Is it still a loophole? By definition, I think it is, but not how it's usually used.
Would also note that “sensitive” and SCIF classified are miles apart in terms of legal treatment.

This might be simplistic or ignorant - but does the essential core of crypto boil down to having a public trust ledger? Could a use case of crypto (and NFTs) be a replacement for PGP?

This whole signing a physical product to prove it's official kind of sounds like PGP but I only have a 10000 foot view and don't know much about PGP other than you sign stuff and people can cryptographically verify that you actually signed it.

Optional follow-up because I'm curious: how do you actually track that the physical thing wasn't modified or tampered with in practice? Couldn't a bad actor repair a broken RAM chip with their own parts and it would still be officially signed? Or does it rely on the owner invalidating their device, saying their phone is broken, and then all the parts in the phone get flagged as broken?
OpenAI only offers finetuning for the pre-chatgpt models, so I doubt we'd get good enough results from that.

Something like this might work with a self-hosted (llama) model though. We do have a (small) database of student work and teacher feedback for each assignment we could use for training (privacy permitting).
> Or do you mean you want sedans to stay fossil-fuel powered forever?

why not? At least until bateries are good enough.
Heavy EVs are not exactly more environmentally friendly than ICEs, they just make different trade-offs.

Instead of thinking of the dangers of an ICE sedan, and showing an abomination called an EV sedan, just have a simple EV city car, or invest in actually humane mass transit, propper city planning, etc. If you use just your ICE sedan for longer trips, that's decent enough.

EV replacement for our current type of car types are just an hacky way that doesn't really help, just changes the problems.
I recently had a project where I was munging some vendor xml so I get to have an opinion(python + lxml)

xml is not that bad. until you add namespaces. then it gets ugly real quick.

But I think the fundamental problem of xml is that it is trying to be two things. a markup language and a structured data object format. It started life as a markup language(text with interposed tags) however the lure of a well defined, human readable, flexable format proved too much and people started using it for object storage(mostly tags, never mixed tags and text)
A requirements update from August 2022:

> Apple Podcasts will make the following updates to RSS feed requirements in 2023:

[…]

> Atom feeds

> Update: No longer supported

> New shows in Atom feed format will no longer be accepted and any remaining shows will no longer be updated.

* https://podcasters.apple.com/4115-technical-updates-for-host...

WTF Apple?

AFAICT Google Podcasts is doing the same as Apple and only using RSS 2.0.

Nothing is stopping people from providing both RSS 2.0 and Atom, and given that most feeds are probably auto-generated, probably not hard to do so, but it is disappointing.
Economies of scale are a thing to reckon with. Right now in a factory that CNC operator ideally ships the part to the next workstation metres away without needing extensive packing for safe handling and it arrives in minutes. Or it goes to a shelving stack that buffers the flow of parts within the factory but still requires relatively little protective packaging. Freighting everything between micro-companies works in the other direction: it's more likely to be done for low-volume and/or very specialised parts.
Big citation needed on the "increased safety" claim.
Podcasting uses RSS because alternatives like Atom and JSON Feed don't solve a problem in this space. New podcasting standards (Podcast Standards Project, Podcasting 2.0) are supported by extending RSS, which is now explicitly required. (Apple is just a consumer of RSS — they don't use RSS between their back-end and their podcast app.)
It is an excellent idea to step back and look at the bigger picture.

I put it to you that while you have taken one step back, you will get a clearer view if you take 10 paces back.

We are in the midst of catastrophic accelerating climate change. We are heading for a world that is 3-4º C warmer by the end of the 21st century, when children born today are getting to old age. That means the certain collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and worldwide sea level rise of 5-6 metres in those kids' lifetimes.

Now look at how much of these expensive cities and their expensive offices are build under 5-6m of current high tide level. All those buildings will be lost to the sea before they are paid off. All those investors will lose their money. All cities and city districts wholly located within 5-6m of mean sea level will disappear completely.

Just considering sea level rise, whole nation states will disappear. Whole economic sectors will collapse.

But it's not just about sea level rise. With 3-4º of warming, much of the tropics becomes uninhabitable. Most glaciers disappear; currently fertile countries lose their year-round water supply.

The Himalays are called the world's 3rd pole. 5 or 6 major rivers originating in the glaciers of the Himalayas provide about one third of all humanity with their fresh water.

All those countries become desert, even if only seasonal desert. All agriculture fails.

If you view the world in terms of money -- not a good strong robust worldview at all, but a common one -- then there are far far bigger financial threats looming than empty offices and bankrupt financial institutions that invested in them.

I mean cars used to be terribly dangerous (and dirty).

EVs were originally a "Woman's Car" because a petrol car would get the operator quite dirty while an EV wouldn't stain a dress.
The person you're responding to sounds like they are rolling off a litany of automotive industry talking points. Especially the jab about "faulty equipment" in the form of bikes and scooters.

Ah yes, we need to quarantine pedestrians far away from cars, further locking them out of the physical spaces in their cities. Plus build more parking garages (what? lol). Oh, and let's take aim at the scourge of ride-sharing, all those inexperienced drivers are a menace! Get rid of scooters and bike-share programs while we're at it, all those inexperienced bikers/scooters are practically _trying_ to get themselves run over.

Why not take it a step further? While we're at it, we need more economic incentives in the form of tax breaks or other mechanisms to increase new car sales to help solve the problems with these pesky pedestrians getting themselves maimed and killed. I mean older vehicles are inherently less safe right? [please ignore the obvious design choices on new trucks and SUVs that serve no function outside of aesthetics which are contributing to the killing of pedestrians, especially children]
It looks like you misunderstood the article. "Let it crash" in the BEAM VM world pertains to a single green thread / fiber (confusingly called "process" in Erlang).

It pertains to e.g. single database connection, single HTTP request etc. If something crashes there your APM reports it and Erlang's unique runtime continues unfazed. It's a property of the BEAM VM that no other runtime possesses.

"Let it crash" is in fact "break your app's runtime logic to many small pieces each of which is independent and an error in any single one does not impact the others".

Scaling an Erlang node is very rarely the solution unless you literally run out of system resources.

What exactly does it matter? Deaths per capita is a stupid statistic anyway. The pedestrian deaths are at least 3 times as numerous in the USA than, for example, the Nordic countries. (in terms of pedestrian deaths/driven distance)

If anything, the article is trying to make a point that the car centricism in the US is bad, and steps should be taken to make it less so.

The commercial license comes with some added functionality, and support. I suspect the "for open source projects" and "for commercial software" labels aren't meant as restrictions (i.e., "Only these kinds of projects can use this license") but rather as suggestions ("If you have this kind of project, you'll probably want to use this license"). Though as it stands, it's definitely ambiguous, which is the last thing anyone wants from their licensing agreement.

No, Google is not A/B testing the emergency dialer. What the previous commenter is referring to is a change in Android 12 where, by default, long-pressing the power button no longer brings up the power menu but rather the default Assistant app.

Not realizing that the way to bring up the power menu now is to either access it through Quick Settings or press the power + volume up buttons, the previous commenter's friend started pressing the power button multiple times. (Not blaming that friend, just summarizing what happened.)
He should have seen it coming.

My conclusion was, essentially, that if I can't get our application to work with Fedora in a way that is practical, approachable, and sustainable for our "average" user it should likely be unsupported. I should also add I was working with at least one person who has a tremendous amount of experience with Fedora and they were taken aback by the whole experience as well. I should also note our application, specifically, (more of a long term support appliance) would likely represent an undue support burden because of the fairly rapid Fedora release cycle. As a random tangent, how is DNF /still/ so ridiculously slow? I don't get it.

Ubuntu/Debian is our main development platform so of course it "just works" there (in addition to various other Debian/Ubuntu derivates). However, when I repeated the same exercise for Arch (as one example) - a distro I have zero experience with - the process was completely painless and we had it implemented and documented in something like 30 minutes. Even though it is a rolling release the Arch wiki has substantially better documentation alone than anything I could find in the Fedora ecosystem (random hodgepodge blog posts for the last three major versions).

Again, I've been using Linux near-universally since 1997. I've had these debates (religious flamewars) plenty of times before and I have no interest in rehashing them. That said I don't know how anyone could debate my central point (let alone call it "absurd") - that Fedora is a testing ground for a stable LTS, commercially supported product (and one that with recent events is even more so). This is all right there, clear as day, in the official documentation[0]. So maybe not "absurd"?

I suppose I just don't understand the general preference for Fedora (other than momentum and familiarity) when there are plenty of other choices around where the primary goal is a free, stable, and open release.

On that note - IMO the best thing about open source is choice. Use whatever works for you, why would I care? I do not.

Yeah, I know. I just don't care. Seriously, I remember this being pointed out literally 20+ years ago. It's gotten far worse since then.

If you really think about it, it was a bailout of the American people. And that's why it was good and an example of socialist praxis.

After all, startups take venture capital money from the rich and spend it primarily on t-shirts and catering - which primarily comes from small businesses who hire local unskilled labour.

People will tell you not to get back in the car, because it's dangerous. What's really dangerous is that potential static buildup getting in and out, which can discharge when you touch the nozzle.

If you do get in and back out, make sure to ground yourself by touching the bare metal of the pump itself before you grab the nozzle. It's not perfect, but it's much safer than not taking the time to ground at all.
The “whataboutism” that’s a standard “defence”, because you believe that people who support clinton must also believe she is above the law, as you believe a different certain candidate is above the law.

Nobody believes that. Charges were not laid against Clinton for a myriad of reasons that do not apply to the other candidate.

There is no “whatabout”. A current certain presidential candidate wilfully sold classified secrets to another country. That didn’t happen on the other candidates email server.
This is super important to me. My dad really wanted us to be Americans, but now that I'm older, I'm trying to connect with my heritage. There aren't a ton of English language resources for learning about the culture, and so the best most viable option is doing it in the native language, which I wasn't taught. I'm learning it on my own, and it's challenging, but definitely worthwhile.

I'd heavily suggest connecting with foreign family ( cousins, neighbors, etc ) on Facebook to practice language. They'll be excited to hear from you, and even more excited when they see you trying your best to communicate in the language of your ancestors...!

Yes! It was "Infinite Jukebox," created by Paul Lamere … it was awesome because it would analyse a track, then visualize its "components" and you could watch as the new "infinite" track looped back on itself and jumped from point-to-point in the original track to create an everlasting one.

He created some excellent products from the Rdio API, and later Spotify … and I believe his analysis engine ended up being the foundation upon which Spotify's _play more tracks like these_ capability is based.

Looks like he's moved over to publish on Substack—there's a recent(ish) post reflecting on 10 years of Infinite Jukebox: https://musicmachinery.substack.com/p/the-infinite-jukebox-1...
It's simply an attempt to establish the baseline to the speaker's liking. For instance, someone who doesn't like skydiving: "why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane?"

Let's start with the fact that there are no "perfectly good" airplanes, then we can debate the wisdom of free falling from 3Km.
> "Just turn it to housing" isn't an easy answer.

Well, rent/sqft is dropping rapidly, like it or not. The housing crisis felt across north america has never had easy answers. But we're seeing a possibility for incentives to come into alignment with increasing the supply of housing. Even if that means tearing down buildings -- because if you don't, you get squatters.
