Because they paid £15k for their house in 1974 and it's gone up to £1.5 million through no special skill of their own. Their life expectancy has also increased 10 years in that time due to NHS advances so they will be living longer and costing much more than before to care for. The calculus as to what they own and what they owe has changed dramatically just during their life span.
The drivers need to put the cell phone down, of course - I was almost run over by an Amazon Prime truck when the driver was on a phone - but the pedestrians need to put the phone down too. Six years ago I was using Google maps to find my way around as a pedestrian, and I walked directly into a pole. Where I live the local news recently did a special on distracted pedestrians walking into things. I know a lot of people like to use headphones to walk around and listen to music, but I also think your ears are a MUST HAVE if you're walking anywhere there could be cars. It's the driver's responsibility to stop, but I live in an area with a lot of blind hills, and you need to hear the car before it crests if you're in the road.
Is this for real? I checked the calendar and April has come and gone. The notion that you can alter earth's relationship with sol is beyond pale and arrogant. Any geo-engineering of our atmosphere at best will do nothing, and at worst, have serious unforeseen consequences. Back in the real world, this can only be a play for more power and more money.

It's my understanding unicellular life popped up on Earth pretty much as soon as it had a non-lava surface. While Earth seems super friendly today it was incredibly hostile when life formed. Early life on Earth were all what we'd consider extremophiles or at least extreme-adjacent.

I'd bet (at least a small amount of money) that life, at least the most basic unicellular life, will pop up wherever the requisite materials exist in environments where they're not immediately destroyed but have enough external energy to facilitate some more energy intensive chemical reactions.

Jupiter's atmosphere (to me) seems just as likely a place for life to form as the surface of Titan. It would be harder for us to find that life since the environment is so demanding compared to our level of technology. The surface of Titan or Europa are much easier exploration targets relative to Jupiter's atmosphere.

Shoutout to the `diskutil` command line utility on macOS.

I had problems with some slices on a disk today, and was not able to fix it with the graphical Disk Utility that comes with macOS. These slices were remnants from experimenting with running Asahi Linux on the machine in the past.

I knew there had to be a way to fix it with diskutility cli program.

I found a thread, and the solution for what to do in such situation.

Now the disk can be fully utilised by macOS again.
Another tool to look at is vpncloud (https://github.com/dswd/vpncloud). It also builds a mesh network over UDP. Key setup is a bit easier, static keys are only used for authentication. Encryption keys are dynamically generated and replaced on a schedule.

I combine it with an ansible script to push out the (minimal) configuration to end nodes.

It isn't a morality issue.

It's an issue of our system of controls: likely we should implement price control during times of high inflation.

Imagine if the following happened during covid:

- used car prices were locked/limited

- housing prices were locked/limited

- certain foods were locked/limited

Inflation would have not been an issue.

> You can now track all sorts of things across the stack and compare things like "how successful was a marketing campaign". "Hey we need to know if Big Customer suddenly gets 5xxs on their API integration so we can tell their account manager." "Can you tell us if a customer stops using the platform so we know to reach out to them with a discount code?" These are all requests I've gotten and so many more, at multiple jobs.

But now you can ask ChatGPT GPT4 to author PromQL and Jaeger queries for you, which it is incredibly good at.

The real, actual pain point - not cost, not maintenance, etc. - between the bottom line affecting stuff like customer success management and metrics was always turning the English language problem into the thing that goes into the computer. And that is seriously going away, the only people who think it's not are the experienced ones who, for some reason, months into the distribution of this insane technology, haven't tried asking for a PromQL query yet!

As a public company, FedEx undergoes routine audits. Do accounting firms audit vehicle mileage? I'd assume that vehicle depreciation is is an important part of the balance sheet calculations at Fedex, and that mileage might be audited as part of the depreciation functions.
I don't think we know what it _actually_ detected these events as. Gizmodo is reporting car crashes, but I don't think there's any way for them to know that.

I'm an immigrant myself, having moved around the US quite a bit and currently living in a part where there aren't very many people from my country of origin. I've never once considered proximity to a large community of people sharing my ethnic background as important in choosing where to live, but of course YMMV.

It's funny because I've always thought of LA as a conglomeration of suburbia, but perhaps you're referring to "generic suburbia" as one that's composed primarily of typical white Americans? Then naturally by definition you're not going to have the same kind of access to whichever cultural group that is missing from that town. But I disagree that those kinds of places are entirely devoid of "soul", as the GP put it. It'd be like criticizing Los Angeles (plurality Hispanic, approximately 0% Danish[0]), for not having Danish festivals and grocery stores, or Jackson, MS (roughly 80% black and less than half a percent Asian[1]) for not having enough authentic Asian restaurants.

Sure, there's an argument to be made that you can find representation of anything in a big enough city, and that holds in places like NYC or LA. But that's a truism.

> Sabotaging London won't make the rest of the UK better - it will just mean less tax money available to subsidise the rest of the country. If you stop companies from expanding in London they won't go to Sheffield or Birmingham - they'll go to Amsterdam or Frankfurt or Paris.

It's not about sabotaging London, but about return on investment. It doesn't matter that companies for which going to Amsterdam, Frankfurt or Paris is an option won't go to Sheffield or Birmingham - if you draw companies that can go elsewhere in the UK, and often would love to, out to the regions, then there's plenty of capacity for those who desperately prefer London. I used to work in VC, and just the sheer number of companies founded outside of London that moved to London not because they wanted to but because they didn't see it as viable to stay in the regions was depressing. Apart from access to capital, a big driver for that was smaller commutable regions. WFH helps, but upgrading internal links within the regions would do even more.

> They're trying that up to a point. Stratford has worked pretty well, and they're going to apply the same playbook at Old Oak Common. Croydon might be next on the list. But of course at the rate the UK builds anything that wil be what, 2060 before anything is done.

Croydon town centre is extremely well connected already, and the town centre is filling up with highrises, w/several over 40 floors so far and one w/planning permission for 75. But the problem isn't for these places, but the places that could have better connections to places set further out from the centre of London to draw demand further out to lines that are poorly utilised.

E.g. places like Epsom and Sutton and smaller stations in between, or any of the train stations in Croydon not on one of the direct lines to London (West, East, South Croydon and the Purley stations are well served as is. E.g. put direct trains in places at commuter frequencies between Croydon and Guildford via Epsom, and you have a whole range stations that suddenly form a much more viable commuter pool and with capacity for increased building density, and makes several locations along the route more attractive to businesses that might otherwise pull further in. There are a lot of routes like that surrounding London.

We elect representatives because we can’t expect the populace to be in the room at every moment. The expectation is that those representatives will have some consistency, the hope is that that will mean they’ll make calls similar to the ones we’d make if we were in the room and had all the info.

Consistency could also be a guard against pure power politics. Usually people get elected by appealing to some constituency, but it is uncomfortable to just say “I’m here to appeal to X demographic!” So, they try to express the interests of those demographics in terms of principles. Holding them to those principles when they don’t work in the interest of their chosen demographic can result in some pretty strong rhetoric at least.

This is especially true in business situations. Although there is a very collective decision making process, it can be quite hierarchical. Often, if a manager has stated a position others will not disagree even if it is quite wrong. This is where drinking together comes in...

I've seen an engineer who had sat through a day of meetings on a topic holding his tongue until they went out for drinks after work (like most days). The moment beer touched his lips he broke into an angry tirade as to how terrible the decision was, and because we were "drinking" it was not considered out of bounds or reasonably punishable insubordination. Of course sexual harassment can have similar in/out of bounds elements so it's not like strict rules, boundaries, and exceptions solve all problems.
Unfortunately it seems to be viewed as hypocrisy to disagree with your own past opinions.
Organize society into smaller morsels; this tendency of the centralized state will not be eradicated - states can be modelled as creatures seeking self-preservation, and knowledge into their citizens’ lives reads as something that will further that (even if it doesn’t).

Realistically that won’t happen save for some terrible calamity. The voting public will certainly play no part in this going away.

In that case, it's more that they want to spread an opinion that they don't want to associate with the paper, because they'd have to defend or prove it. On the other hand, instead of publishing negative news about things they support, they'll publish indignant reactions to the spread of the negative news story. Doing this pushes the actual specifics of the story to the tenth paragraph of the first article they've covered it in.
It's because of VCs and investors.

The Indian VC industry has seen massive growth, but is still dependent on American and Israeli FDI. Compared to the UAE or Singapore, Delaware is easier to manage from the risk perspective and a regulatory perspective as an American investor.

Also, Dubai is a new entry in the Indian tech business incorporation segment. Traditionally, Tech Founders used the Singapore backdoor and Tech Investors the Mauritius backdoor.

India and the UAE only signed a FTA 3-4 years ago, and Dubai's business law is still being honed compared to SG.

IANAL but If I were an Indian founder today, I'd incorporate and build an Indian subsidiary under CECA in Singapore, live and operate it from Dubai, and have operations run from within India.

Edit: thinking further, if I was starting a Tech B2B or B2C, I wouldn't even consider UAE to live in. If I created a Singaporean corporation, I'd have the ability to live in Singapore itself, and I would be able to expand my business into ASEAN where Indian startups and VCs have found similar operating conditions to India, while the UAE doesn't really open myself up to any markets outside of Africa, MENA, Central Asia, and South Asia. Great if I was a trader or import-export (ever ate rice in Gujarat? A portion of it came from Sindh via UAE. Pakistani Hindus run the rice import-export business in Sindh), but not if I was a tech startup.
This is not a hard thing to research: https://www.foodpolitics.com/2021/07/americas-food-monopolie....
It is impossible or next to impossible to investigate most of the facts. For example, if somebody would say that "People in Bhutan eat stones", how would you find if it is true or not? You don't know the language. You probably don't know where to find local Bhutan news, forums, social networks.

Or if someone would say that "Celebrity X visited a factory of company Y in China". Even if you find a Chinese search engine and use online translator, you can easily waste days. E.g. how do you find out how Western names are spelled in Chinese text? There's no single answer, especially if a person is not worldwide popular.

From my personal experience: I live in Russia. When I read what is published in Western media about life in Russia, I'm flabbergasted every time at the blatant lies and exaggerations. Though I guess it's roughly similar to what I read in our media about Western countries. But if I'd try to dispel some myths on social networks or in comments, I'll be banned or at best called "Kremlin troll", so I no longer even try to do it.

This is pretty good! However, there are some unusual splices. One I found was with a recording of Cumberland Gap[0]. If you run a 10 minute loop, you'll find that the first splice in multiple tracks (happens at about the 2:30 mark), the song suddenly cuts to the middle of a mandolin solo that clearly doesn't belong there. With that being said, I'm still overall impressed by this.

A humbling exercise for anyone is, for any given belief, writing down specifically what inputs and logic lead to that belief, and specifically what inputs and logic would lead to changing that belief.

Almost everyone would find that almost all of their beliefs are based on very flimsy input/logic, and the bar for changing that belief is unfairly and wildly asymmetric.

Needs to mention afplay for playing audio! You can easily use this to make a command-line MP3 player.

Others have mentioned the “say” utility for speech synthesis. There is a lot you can do with it, it supports the TUNE format, which allows you to "shape the overall melody and timing of an utterance... for example ... to make an utterance sound as if it is spoken with emotion".

> MMT is a joke.

I have my own issues with MMT, but I feel like most people that share your position seem to believe that MMT means “you can print as much money as possible without ramifications” which is not correct. One of the core ideas of MMT is that inflation is the limiting factor of how much money can be printed, or rather that inflation should be the gauge of when to stop. The idea is to spend new money wisely, in ways that increase productivity rather than contribute to inflation. I think that part of MMT is quite reasonable.

Hmmm, an interesting thought.

I think that regardless of whether or not someone's belief is correct, causing harm to unconsenting others should always cause some amount of guilt or embarrassment.

But if I hold a belief that is leading me to cause harm to people, and then I discover that I'm wrong, is that not a reason for even greater celebration? It means that I have become a less harmful person.
I think that's probably the best way to do something like this, but it certainly won't have the reach of putting the feature in people's phones.
