The US was more intended to be not too dissimilar from say the EU. The fed grew and took more power, but that was part of "the grand experiment." I'm not saying one way is right or wrong, but this is why people frame things as state issues. I mean we are talking about states with the land mass and economic worth of European countries.
>And Uncle Tom's Cabin has virtually no appeal anymore.

It might have no appeal for the trend following people in the current US climate (for political reasons), but it remains a popular book around the globe. You can find it on most bookstores in this (much remote) place just fine. And in amazon.com it's in the top 200 of the African-American literature category by sales.
If cryptography can't possibly be figured out once and for all and must remain a moving target forever, I'd separate TLS into a module that can be updated independently of the rest of the system.

Have you ever tried to read a license plate on dash cam footage? Unless they’re right in front of you in traffic it’s basically impossible. You would probably need a high resolution camera taking pictures every couple seconds instead or maybe when 8k dash cams are commonly available.

It could also be the guests. A bill was entered into the last Congress [1]. It failed to generate excitement. A lighter version has been entered into this one [2].

If you care about this issue, call or write to your electeds and let them know this is something that could motivate you to turn out to their next primary or general.

This American Life, episode 102 (May 22, 1998):

> Act One, Busman's Holiday. Regular listeners to our program may remember Dishwasher Pete who travels from state to state washing dishes and publishing his zine Dishwasher. Usually he only stays in one place for a few weeks. And then he takes the Greyhound bus to the next town. Lately he's been living in Portland. But he was only too happy to get back on the bus.

Hired into a place that had a crazy active astrology slack channel. Those people would believe anything as long as it wasn’t traditional mainstream.

Of course they also told me how upset they were to hire a white man, something I wish they had mentioned
Before hiring. so that kind of set the tone.
The researchers definitely believe it's real - they're fighting over who gets credit (hence the double paper publication).

Only a few days left until replications should start pouring in...
Not necessarily, but I do think that if there's a big UFO coverup dating back half a century, it's obviously highly compartmentalized, and probably more tightly controlled than your run-of-the-mill top secret (or even SCI) documents. Trump's a clown, it's obvious he's a clown, and the people who control such a hypothetical UFO program would do everything in their power to prevent such a clown from 1) becoming aware of their program, and if necessary 2) gaining access to information about their program.
if a private person does that for commercial reasons, it's harassment. if an ad company stalks you and send you bad ads, it's harassment.
74% of states have legalized medicinal use.

42% of states have legalized recreational use.

Legalization lags public sentiment but not hugely, especially if like you alluded to, weighting by voter participation.

That might be true but it is still illegal federally- so it's not "lawful".
"I am guessing" wasn't clear enough? Is it not ok to express a random speculation opinion here any more?
Figures 1(a) and (c) are implausible. Usually something like this looks like this [0]. Note the gradual increase at low currents, this effect is to be expected especially with magnetic fields.

Fig. 1(d) cannot be correct either. At Tc ~ 400K the Meissner effect would displace a much stronger field than 10 Oe = 1 mT. I.e. the distinction between FC (field cooled) and ZFC (zero-field cooled) should not be that pronounced. It should look more like this [1].

What the authors might mean is that they are outside the Meissner range, which can occur at higher magnetic fields (keyword: Type II superconductors). It will look like that [2].

In this case, however, the temperature dependency does not agree at all with the critical currents of Figs. 1(a) and (c).

Also, that ALL the values in Fig. 1(d) are negative is extremely unusual, but that could perhaps be argued with.

The data set in Fig. 4(b) is also a treat. It is VERY unusual when the heat capacity decreases again at high temperatures. This can happen at low temperatures, but not at high temperatures.

I am very familiar with the described experimental setup / the cryostat. There is no good reason why the authors did not measure at higher temperatures to show that the behavior is markedly different above Tc ~ 400K. For example, a temperature dependency of the resistance would have been absolutely necessary.

In general, the paper is very poorly written. The data is under-discussed, the explanations are sparse, and the work cited is, shall we say, sparse. That doesn't exactly inspire confidence in what the authors measured and claim to have seen.

My personal assumption is that the authors measured an insulator, so no current flowed and therefore no voltage occurred (4-point measurement). Then it looks like a superconductor. But if you then turn up the current (i.e. the applied voltage), breakdowns may occur and a current begins to flow. That would explain the sharp increase.

Two presidents claimed to have seen a UFO. Both never declassified it. One even ran on that promise. Barack Obama and his wife are producing a documentary about a famous UFO event currently. If there is a UAP program, the presidents are not told about it, probably because of the possibility of a mishandling of that information, that's what I think. If, of course, you think it exists at all.
Show me in the Constitution where FedGov has the authority to dictate drug law or policy that doesn’t cross State Lines. (Spoiler: it’s not there.)
Thank you for supporting an open source ecosystem.

A couple of thoughts.

1. It would be nice if we could ingest external resources like web pages.

2. Deep integration with the debugger (Limitation mentioned in your docs). Code pilot seems to be very superficial here.

I know the issues above are limited by the token context. However, there's not a lot of innovation in these two aspects for code generation.
We raised fees on a payments product this year, gave a few months notice, gave solid rationale, and saw little to no churn or complaints. I think it all comes down to value though, if your users value your product and think of you in a positive light you should be fine. Ours is still very cheap compared to the benefits and would be a minor expense for customers.

With recurring billing you may see some users churn who "forgot" about the charge in the first place and were likely not using the product.

FWIW This past year ive been stung so much by SAAS price hikes its fundamentally changed my internal equation of "when to SAAS VS when to self-host/build". Messaging apps have been the worst offenders, adding new features that we don't use and using this as an excuse to up prices to ridiculous levels. Overall positive perhaps, now using more self-hosted OS software.
You’re not getting it, either genuinely or in a more dissembling way to justify your point. Sure alcohol will make you “lose your wallet” but it’s not fundamentally changing your perspectives/outlook on life significantly unless you abuse it for very long. Nicotine by itself is pretty much entirely harmless beside second tier effects from having a very strong addictive component.

A person is rarely “broken” by moderate alcohol use. That’s explicitly not true of psychedelics.
Please move those goalposts farther. I can still see them.
This article is obviously biased in every possible way to measure it.

I just updated https://protomaps.com it to use the more detailed file you found, thanks. So instead of a zoom level of 12 it should work down to 20+ - the actual dataset contains up to zoom 15, which is ~1 billion tiles in a single 110GB file.

It's important to me that I showcase the system working as advertised - you are free to download the 110GB file from that static storage with no restrictions. Unfortunately, the demo is slow because I'm hosting it on Cloudflare R2 which has no outgoing bandwidth fees. Before, it was on DigitalOcean Spaces, which is low latency but would cost me $1-2 out of my own pocket each time someone clicked the link.

The Lambda/Workers integration as described in the other comment is the preferred solution to this for developers operating this at planet scale. Of course, the static storage solution is perfect for small to medium-sized areas, even on GitHub Pages.
Your clear bias and overly emotional responses makes me dismiss want you’re trying to say. Can you try rephrasing everything in a clear and data driven approach?
Is this a sarcastic joke, or is it a serious comment? I honestly cannot tell.
I’ve never really believed in aliens/UFO sightings, but have been doing some online reading the last 6months. The forums are filled with 99% delusional people trying to connect made-up information to every other conspiracy theory out there. Most seem to detract from their cause

I watched the whole congressional forum today and those guys are probably the most well-spoken people I’ve ever heard discussing UAP/aliens/NHI. Also, one of the more bipartisan and civil congressional hearings I’ve witnessed in recent memory.

It’s definitely intriguing to say the least and I have a hard time doubting that these guys have not witnessed what they say they witnessed, both with their eyes and in terms of government programs/secrecy/misallocated funds. Now if those UAPs are NHI or government-created machines or something else, hopefully we will find out eventually.
In 1977: "The ultimate act of punk defiance that got Elvis Costello banned from 'Saturday Night Live'"

Costello, his label and the show’s producers, had agreed prior to the show that they would perform their catchy single ‘Less Than Zero’, a track which was written about disgraced British politician Oswald Mosley who, at the time, was the former leader of the British Union of Fascists. However, as the lights of the famous studio glared down upon him, Costello wouldn’t miss his opportunity. While it certainly was considered the band’s biggest opportunity commercial to date, Costello put a stop to the performance mid-intro, yelling: “Stop! Stop!” in the direction of his band. “I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen,” he said before adding: “But there’s no reason to do this song here”.

Instead, Costello and his band rolled into a performance of the song ‘Radio Radio’ which, controversially, includes lyrics that criticised the commercialisation of the airwaves in both television and radio as well as pointed the finger at corporate-controlled broadcasting. Costello had certainly made his statement clear and in the middle of one of the most hostile environments....

Sure, I'm not going to say there aren't plenty of guests at the problems. But the hosts are making a lot of rules that are wildly held as unpopular and "dumb." I'm not surprised when guests get rowdy when hosts are treating them poorly and enforcing weird rules.

Oh please, certain people is parents and I don't care what their views are, they are parents. If you don't like it them take their kids away from them for holding that view. A parent is a parent not the government, schools, society, you or I.

They can forbid them from touching electronics entirely right along some internet content. How do you think it went with books, radio and tv/movies before the internet? Parents were given tools and they used that to police their kids.

And btw, I said the FTC regulates the tools, so why is the FTC allowing stuff you disagree with here? And you do know doing what you said is possible today with plenty of tools right? I believe the domain reputation category is somethinf like "alternative sexuality" there is a category for everything. Every domain older than a few month has dozens of vendors categorizing it.

Yes, a good manager shields the team from distractions and lets them focus. I know I sound anti-mgr but I’m not. I’ve had some rly good one who gave us autonomy, trusted us, but also held us accountable. It seems most managers don’t subscribe to the servant leadership philosophy, but are prone to the dictator style (ie team members are subordinates whose role is to implement the (not shared) vision.
I was kind of resigned for everything to be awful forever. It felt like 60% of the devices I bought had this problem. Makes things like charging these Tribit Surf speakers I otherwise love quite a pain. But I've purchased around a dozen pretty cheap devices with USB-C in the past year & much to my surprise each one has properly resistor terminated CC pins & just works.

I was kind of begging for a specific C-C cable that built in the resistors, specifically for these bad devices. It'd be incredibly easy to make, but what a dumb purpose in life. A 3 inch male-to-female adapter would be ideal, for all these jerk-wad devices.

I'm a bit perturbed but the very excellent power-monitoring AVHzY CT3 device I got recently automatically negotiates 5V, so at least when I go to plug in any of the various problematic devices, they work now. Alas it requires a second usb-c cable to work, plus the device, so it's cumbersome: that male-to-female usb-c 5v adapter would still be appreciated.

In the end, it feels like the real pressure the world needs is better reviewing. It'd be lovely to have a meta-site, that tells reviewers things they need to check for on each product. Slip ups like this should be a notable ding on everyone's name, but there's so many reviewers and so few actually know all the various things to look for. Some progress in solving the review meta-problem - enumerating all the concerns any device-type might have- would be greatly appreciated.

I posted the sibling comment basically dumping on smart contracts, so I wanted to thank you very much for posting this - it helped me understand smart contracts better in my mind and helped crystallize places where they could be useful.

I knew vaguely about ENS (primarily just by seeing .eth addresses), but your comment led me to dig in to how it works. I think the bit of "eureka" moment I had is that smart contracts are really only useful for shuffling around ownership of "pure data", and then it's up to everyone else to interpret what that data actually means.

That is, for an eth name, it's really just storing an association of the name with another piece of data, and putting a mechanism in place for who gets to control that association (i.e. how bidding for a name works). It's then up to other people to decide how (or whether) they want to "interpret" that association. In my mind it's quite similar to NFTs. All NFTs really store is an association that says "this person 'owns' this other piece of data called X, and that other piece of data X actually refers to this shitty digital image of a bored ape." But, of course anyone else can copy the bits of that shitty digital image and do whatever they want with it - it's only if enough people agree that "yes, that NFT really does mean that shitty digital image" for it to be worth anything.

It also helped me because with most contracts people think about how "things in the real world" need to be verified in order to determine contract performance (did the price of wheat go up, was the vacation rental as advertised), but smart contracts really are quite useless in those examples. But there are some examples where you're just storing pieces of data and you do not care about what happens "in the real world". Thus, I still feel smart contracts are often greatly oversold (and often misunderstood) by their boosters, but there are specific "data-mapping" use cases where they make sense. I also appreciate that you pointed out the downsides of not having a mediation process, which I think many crypto boosters think of as a feature but many people feel is a bug in the real world.

Anyway, you really helped me think about this more clearly, and I appreciate it.
Weird - works fine for me. Maybe they are rolling out a change in specific regions?

I took a Greyhound from Florida to California in 1992 because I couldn't afford airfare, and Greyhound was offering $69 one way anywhere in the US. It wasn't a sociological experiment, it was my life. It was 3 days and 3 nights on half a dozen buses. It was sad and scary and difficult for everyone. No one that I saw could afford hotel rooms. We all slept wherever we could.

Sounds like it hasn't changed much.
Not hard? Not easy to prove fraud. Is it fraud to have multiple jobs? Did your employment contract specifically restrict moonlighting? Is it even legal to restrict moonlighting in that state? Plus, even if all the moons align and you go through all that effort and money and possibly win. They declare bankruptcy and protect their homestead from your claim. You lose even more money and most importantly your time. Far from easy.

LTO for LLVM/clang and gcc is implemented by getting the compiler to emit internal compiler IR code rather than machine code to the object files. The linker's job is to call into the compilers at link time with the serialized IR code from the object files to produce machine code; the linker does not do the link-time optimization itself. Therefore LTO support in a linker is a pretty binary feature (does it support X compiler on Y platform?) without much of a "good/better" gradation. And when it comes to that, mold implements LTO support for both gcc and LLVM on Unix-like systems.

An un-enforced felony is still a federal crime, you just know your not going to get in trouble for it… The thing is MasterCard and Visa as part of being allowed by various laws, are not allowed to facilitate people making money from committing federal crimes… which the businesses selling (state) legal cannabis are doing.

It’s pretty simple. They either need federal legislation to say it’s ok for them to be doing this, or it needs to stop being a federal crime, otherwise they are legally required to do exactly what they are doing.

By your right about it being government control stuff, psychological resistance to letting go of the War on Drugs is pretty high, and unless it changes it’s going to remain in the current status quo until enough of them get too old to hold their seats in the House/Senate and new people with less fossilised opinions get to vote on legislation regarding the topic.
