> I quite frankly just don’t see the value is connecting Portland and Seattle by high speed rail. Who gives a shit? Spend billions of dollars so that hundreds, perhaps even a whole thousand, of people can take a weekend trip that is slightly faster than a 3 hour drive

dramatically faster. travel time between portland and seattle along a realistic route is on the order of 90m with a few stops and 60m non-stop. about as long as my commute from SF to palo alto. at those distances a high speed rail connection is transformative, it would turn portland and seattle into one large metro area. portland and seattle are ideally situated in terms of population and distance for high speed rail.

but if you don't see the point in investing in high speed rail in general, I would suggest that you take a look at the latest news on the arctic sea ice and review what your state is spending on highways every year

Yeah but they’re actually making progress. The project has plenty to criticize but it’s way more of a punching bag than it needs to be. The hard part is land acquisition, lawsuits, grade separations, etc. once you have that tracks are a piece of cake.

CA also is walking with basic train service. The Pacific Surfliner (3rd most used Amtrak route) and the San Joaquin (5th most used Amtrak route). Literally the 2 most used Amtrak routes outside of the northeast.
I don’t think the problem is just easy corruptibility. Organisation leadership may have let this fester by not paying any thought towards aligning the incentives of their workers at every level and their own incentives correctly. Corruption is an easy explanation. But it’s probably just human nature to subvert and rebel.

> It’s not over until multiple labs fail to reproduce it. A definitive no will take months.

Yes. Some may remember the problems with cold fusion. I once went to a packed talk at Stanford where some physicists and chemists were trying to reproduce the effect. They mentioned that in the first attempts, they had radiation alarms set up in case the thing suddenly started emitting substantial amounts of radiation. After a while, it became clear that the effect, if it existed at all, was small, somewhere below twice background radiation, so it wasn't high risk.
They discovered that people moving around the apparatus affected the results; humans have a lot of water and are neutron reflectors.
Finally they did the experiment inside a "neutron cube", a box made of lead bricks, to eliminate stray neutrons. No neutron generation measured inside the cube.

They worked hard for months getting to a definitive "no".

I agree with you. But I think this is a symptom of a different problem: Building admin panels with UI tools instead of config-driven tools.

While component libs like this can be used for consumer-facing UI, when we talk about "dashboards" it's also often backoffice admin panels.

You shouldn't be reaching for hand-writing UI design & logic in that scenario. You should be looking for an admin panel interface tool. Laravel has these in spades: Nova, Backpack, and Filament are the big three. You write some code and some logic tied to it, and the tool creates the UI for you. This lets you get back to writing code for the actual customers instead of for business processes.

These can be used for consumer facing panels too, but with less control over the design, they're not really intended for it.

But the JS ecosystem insists on being fragmented, so everything is rewritten manually.

"Batteries included" needs a lot more than just batteries (the UI components).
It's the global debt-based fiat monetary system. It squeezes workers hard and turns every industry into a winner-takes-all industry since workers are so poor they can only afford the cheapest of the cheap. In the old days, a business could afford to continue to operate and thrive even if they weren't necessarily number one at everything... People had enough surplus income to not worry about spending a bit more for some local product even if it wasn't necessarily the best value for money. Also consumers were not so insanely well attuned to squeezing every penny as they are today (due to lower financial stress levels) and this created more room for new businesses to compete with incumbents.

It's the effect of the monetary system squeezing the masses hard which forces everyone to buy the cheapest things and it created a kind of technological shrinkflationary race to the bottom.
High-speed rail isn’t really for daily commuters. Shinkansen tickets are quite expensive. We’re talking $100 each way.

I don’t see trains having a huge advantage over a clean grid and EV fleet. And the latter is much easier and faster to build.

Sure, peer review is peer review. It depends on your peers.

I'm a chemist, who has considerable established competition. So our reviwers know the systems and studied the method in grad school and sweated over it as a postdoc and had to innovate for cash in a professional capacity while doing something other than what we were doing.

They'd excoriate for vague methods, or poor explanations, or general nonsense. You had to explain everything and make sure to refence the Big boys you were close to but definitely not stealing from.

I think ML is unformed enough that there isn't that sort of public stricture as a random field in chemistry. Feel lucky. We don't even get to hide behind beautiful LaTeX, because there's too much benchwork for anybody's boss to ever give a fuck about it.

It's addressed by Apple's permission prompt that allows me to select the "ask every time" option. You're right that it's a black box after that in terms of whether or not the app puts a new item on my clipboard and then reads it (why would it need to do that?), but at least I know that if I have something sensitive at the top of my clipboard then I can decline the prompt.

That's not to mention that my concern is fundamentally addressed by gating clipboard access behind a prompt in the first place. That is, I always have the option to decline the permission entirely.
If you’re asking me that question I think you misread my comment.

This is a list of general purpose computer platforms Apple has made in the past in addition to the Mac. The Mac may be the last one they’ll ever make as open and general purpose as it is, which is a damn shame considering what they showed off with their Vision Pro announcement and press demos.

You haven't proven that there are better designs out there being kept down by the priesthood, just waved your hands in the direction of Grand Conspiracy and anointed Bruce Schneier a member in that supposed priesthood. The thing is, cryptography isn't kept obscure. It's a mathematical discipline welded to the practical discipline of actually writing software, but so are other topics in that part of CS, such as compression and formal verification.

But here's the nub of my point: It is hard, though, and it's harder than it looks, and this matters more for cryptography than compression because of the things people do with cryptography. If you design a bum compression algorithm, you make files you can't really decompress and you get discouraged. If you make a bum encryption algorithm, and you get all excited and actually use it for something important, and it's easy to break, well, you might get a lot worse than discouraged. Major companies have been bitten by this. Is your algorithm better than HDCP? Probably not. You know what happened to HDCP? Yeah. Intel wishes it had taken the kind of advice any new cryptographer gets about not taking their own inventions too seriously.

Lets have Wisner, or Google, put their money where their mouth is.

Not OP, but I've encountered a few situations where the solution was modifying .git/ manually. The one that comes to mind was having two branches with names separated only by case on a case sensitive system, and then checking out both on a case insensitive system.

Honestly this just shows me how misinformed you are. Prisoners often pay for their own stay. This is on top of that.
The labels aren't all that correct.

"Libraries are racist" links to "library cataloging systems are racist".

"Physics is racist" links to a paper trying to "identify and analyze whiteness as it shows up in an introductory physics classroom interaction".

"Math is racist" links to an article on "Is math education racist?"

"Majoring in IT is racist" links to an essay on structural racism in CS departments, and specifically on "how our undergraduate program is racist, despite being run by exceptionally progressive, anti-racist faculty, in a progressive, often radical city, Seattle."

"Quoting Beyoncé is racist" shows a Tweet with zero context. I can't figure out what it means.

"Capitalism is racist" links to an article by Christopher F. Rufo, "an American conservative activist[2][3] and senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research.[4] He is best known for his activism against critical race theory, which he says "has pervaded every aspect of the federal government" and poses "an existential threat to the United States" (quoting Wikipedia). From my readings of Rufo, I don't believe his interpretation of CRT at all. He does not quote anyone saying "Capitalism is racist". He writes that Khalil Muhammad says 'argued that the system of capitalism was founded on racism' but like I said, I don't trust Rufo's ability to summarize the argument correctly. (BTW, do you think AmEx invited Khalil Muhammad because he's the g'grandson of the founder of the Nation of Islam, or because he's a Harvard academic specializing on the relevant topic.)

"Food safety is racist" is because someone wearing latex glove was mis-interpreted as doing so to avoid touching orphans with HIV/AIDS rather than for food safety reasons.

No, I'm saying that the problem you worry about doesn't exist.

The problem -- as you point out -- with 2 -> 3 was that supporting both versions was very difficult. Because Python 2 couldn't run Python 3 code (and vice versa).

And thus libraries existed in awkward states for years.

But GIL can run no-GIL code. Supporting both is no harder than supporting one of those options (the no-GIL one).
This looks like

I sure hope they decide to call execution of mixed GIL and no-GIL codebases "amphibious mode"

Seems fitting to post here.

El Salvador, a country with the highest murder rate per capita in the world, passed emergency measures to enact strict antigang policies under the leadership of the young President Bukele (same guy that legalized bitcoin). Bukele was the first 3rd party candidate to win and break the 2-party duopolicy that ruled el salvador since 1970s

The antigang policies included a strict no-phone-calls while in jail policy. Other policies included jamming cell signal in jail, no visitors, and temporary holding period (without charges) was increased from 2-3 to 10-15 days. All this was allowed under emergency measures voted by congress supermajority, which enabled special police powers for 30 days. The emergency measure has been renewed 10+ times already.

Murders have gone down 92% [1]. There are entire neighborhoods that have recently opened small shops for the first time in decades (it was impossible to open any viable business due to crime).

9 out of 10 salvadoreans is happy and plans to vote to reelect Bukele in the upcoming election [2]. el Salvador congress is updating the constitution now since it does not allow re-election.

The approval rating of ~90% is the highest of the entire western hemisphere.

Give me an example. Those components depend on this common shared component... if you do something that changes that shared component in such a way that it causes other snapshots to fail, I'd absolutely want to know about it. That's the whole point of dependency failures.

Isn't "play" biologically testing the world? Like cats do?
Some of them don't load, but some do. The titles in the list do not always quite match what the actual linked article says, in the ones that I have looked at.

The list says "knives and forks are racist", but what the linked article from there claims is that insistence to use knife/forks is racist, not the knife/forks themself. I am not sure that it is really "racist", but still I think that you can eat by hand, or using knife, fork, spoon, etc, if you do not spill it so much. (I prefer to use a spoon when I have rice to eat, although some people prefer fork or chopsticks. And, some times you might find work better by hand or by spoon or whatever, I think.)

The list says that a solar eclipse is racist. The linked article describes actual racism in the U.S. history (when black people did not have much freedom), and describes where the solar eclipse is visible, but that does not make a solar eclipse to be racist.

The link labeled "inclusive language is racist" is a description of a anti-litter campaign which puts people's names on, allegedly selected at random. I do not think that it is racist, although I can understand how they might perceive it as such (with a seemingly valid reason). However, whether it is racist or not, I think that they shouldn't put the people's names like that since the people could be any people and could ave any name, and some of the people don't have the trash to throw out and some do, regardless of what their name is.

They say making drugs illegal is racist. I do not think so, although the enforcement described there is racist. This is a problem with the police (which has many other problems too, many of which are something other than racism), and is independent of what the laws of drugs should be (my opinion is that they should be illegal to use in ways which make pollution, and only enforced if it causes that problem e.g. smells or polution nearby; you might argue differently, but that does not make it racist).

They say words are racist. Some words may have racist origins, but will have legitimate meanings. Some may be false etymologies. If a word is suitable then you can use it. However, I do agree to avoid using words that are incorrect or unclear in that context. The words listed in the picture above the caption "Some of the words that student’s shouldn’t be using at Brandies." have legitimate uses but a few of them are sometimes used incorrectly. This does not mean that no words should ever be used at all.

They say maps are racist. Well, they will have to make some decisions about it, such as map projection, direction, zero longitude, etc. Different projections might be good for different purposes, and the other stuff I mentioned is conventions which are just common now but it is necessary to have them and is not really truly neutral. However, they work OK.

> "There is racism against all groups, but if you are white and living in a western society, no one cares that you are discriminated against."

Yes, it does seem to be. There is racism against all groups and that does seem to commonly happen like that (although not always). However, not everything is "racism"; some things are bad for other reasons.
I think people are going to use it(a few millions people could need it and there is no solutions available today), but I don't think it would be important enough for them to ever pay.
Transparent lid?
To break from the party line and parrot that E2E encryption is a human right for just a moment, does anyone else experience the same fatigue with communities on encrypted platforms? I've never found a good community on Tor, everyone on Signal seems to become a shadier version of their public selves, Telegram seems it's all full of smut.

However I believe this is due to my small social circle. Does anyone with better social skills (any at all) have a more positive experience with E2E platforms? Please help me out because I want to believe. I believe it's important for people to speak freely but I'm having trouble reconciling that with how nasty they become.

This is dumb.

In a high-density environment (hey there Japan!) HSR makes tons of sense. In a much lower-density area, moving people isn't the biggest problem, it's moving stuff.

Next time you take a long-distance flight in the USA, look out the window and ponder how dang big AND EMPTY the country is. People can be transported quickly by air, but for cargo you want energy efficiency per kg (not speed). For most of the USA, it's completely rational to build a slow, efficient cargo rail network. The overhead of airports makes sense for human transport given the distances involved. This is different from Europe/Japan where the overhead of air travel matters proportionally more given the short distances between destinations.

It gets worse. The value of a (human) rail network grows as its density grows. Germany is awesome because the rail network connects a bunch of different cities. Even if the Seattle+Portland route makes sense in isolation, that's basically the entire network right there. Maybe add Vancouver? There's no other population center even close... just 3 cities in a line on the coast. There's absolutely no multiplier effect on the new HSR links. They'd be better served by building a small dedicated airport at either end and running frequent commuter planes back and forth all day.
It is amusing so many commentators cannot communicate novel materials science in Korean to the layperson. Where's your zero resistivity sample?

The paper is just a guide. Who would replicate likely needs to contact the authors to understand the implicit details of the recipe. That is process knowledge.
