Might have been their only way of hardening the clay walls. We do it still to this day, except we burn the bricks before building the walls. Lacking modern building techniques like that and like mortar, burning the walls in situ was probably pretty neat back then and gave them such an advantage that cutting down hundreds of trees seemed worth it.

There's an (experimental) Cody CLI: https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/tree/main/cli. If you try it and like it, let us know over on that repo! (Or if by headless you just mean "editor extension only", just install the Cody VS Code extension and sign into Sourcegraph.com, and it'll work without the desktop app. The response quality will be slightly lower than if you have the desktop app, but we're working on that and it should be at parity soon.)
When I was using Bugzilla, I was always unhappy with its "clunkiness". However, since I was forced to migrate to Github and Gitlab, I sorely miss proper sorting on multiple columns and the ability to select the necessary columns for display. I also miss simple JS-free interfaces that don't get in my way (looking at you, Jira and all others, I guess).
Is this really the case? I'm skeptical because I kept a conversation with someone who deleted their whole account. The messages are still there on my end which means Discord still has them.
1/ Billionaires are the last people I would ever trust to properly run a city, let alone build it.

2/ Cities built by a small group of "elites" inevitably fail or become the worst hellscapes you could imagine

3/ These people are dogshit to have as bosses. Now imagine them as unelected mayors having the ability to control your livelihood

4/ The land they bought is fucking stupid, unaccessible, has no water, no train stations, will be generic car centric hellscape n°1275

5/ None of them have any knowledge in city building (the time they spend on Cities Skylines while they pretend they're working doesn't count), and they will be working with sycophants saying yes to every one of their whims, even if it goes contrary to everything we learned.

6/ The land doesn't have water, sewage systems, power lines, internet, etc. Guess who they're going to go cry to and lobby? The state. Guess who's going to pay for their playground? You.

7/ We've already tried company towns. They were hell on earth.

VCs, and billionaires in general are the most uninnovative people I could ever think of. They have nothing but their "vision", willfully ignoring important things.

If Steam doesn't work on Ubuntu, Ubuntu may as well kill off what remains of their consumer desktop product. Barely anyone uses Linux at all, and 9f the few people that do a significant amount of people like to play a video game on their computers every once in a while. Based on the Steam hardware survey and the number of Steam users, I'd estimate about 8 million people would suddenly lose the ability to play games.

Many of them would go back to Windows. Others would move to another Linux distro. Either way, Ubuntu would make a lot of people mad.

A current WSJ article, "Why Tribalism Took Over Our Politics. Social science gives an uncomfortable explanation: Our brains were made for conflict" https://www.wsj.com/politics/why-tribalism-took-over-our-pol... is related to your question:

'Party allegiance can affect our judgment and behavior, many experiments show. When Shanto Iyengar of Stanford University and Sean J. Westwood, then at Princeton University, asked a group of Democrats and Republicans to review the résumés of two fictitious high-school students in a 2015 study, their subjects proved more likely to award a scholarship to the student who matched their own party affiliation. People in the experiment gave political party more weight than the student’s race or even grade-point average.

In a landmark 2013 study, Dan Kahan, a Yale University law professor, and colleagues assessed the math skills of about 1,000 adults, a mix of self-described liberals, conservatives and moderates. Then, the researchers gave them a politically inflected math problem to solve, presenting data that pointed to whether cities that had banned concealed handguns experienced a decrease or increase in crime. In half the tests, solving the problem correctly showed that a concealed-carry ban reduced crime rates. In the other half, the correct solution would suggest that crime had risen.

The result was striking: The more adept the test-takers were at math, the more likely they were to get the correct answer—but only when the right answer matched their political outlook. When the right answer ran contrary to their political stance—that is, when liberals drew a version of the problem suggesting that gun control was ineffective—they tended to give the wrong answer. They were no more likely to solve the problem correctly than were people in the study who were less adept at math.'
Attitudes like these ones are why Billionaires always ask for a "equal level playing field" every time they go into a new business domain.

Maybe they can call this one Elysium: Scan residents eyes for safety, commute an remaining human workers needed in the morning and evening via driverless taxis, and be done with it?
Google Has Rolled Out Public GenAI Search Experiment
Hm, I have to see if Mikrotik has rule syntax for this. I can already force every app who thinks they will use their own DNS server to use mine but not sure how I could do the same with a proxy. Maybe just force ports 80 and 443? But what's stopping these apps to communicate on non-standard ports?

> Rent stabilized apartments (IIRC, there are ~800,000 of them including mine) are only in buildings built before 1974 with more than six rental units. What's more, rent increases are set each year and can range anywhere from <1 to >5%. Once a rent stabilized unit is more than the maximum allowed rent (currently ~$2500/month) or the owner spends a certain amount on renovations to a vacant apartment, the rent stabilization law no longer applies and the unit can be rented at market rates.

This is not true. I've lived in multiple brand new rent stabilized buildings in Brooklyn with rents above $2500/mo over the last decade.

Modern education system destroys innovation at large,
and the economies of modern world don't support invention
at rate you'd expect to influence technology.
There is no stimulus/prestige to be an inventor, the focus is
either money or fame,
with prestige of science being severely diminished in favor
of pop culture "recognition"(viral/memetic).
Science itself shifted from lone genius
inventors towards teams working for Big Science/Corporate world,
without individual recognition and respect,
reducing motivation towards the minimum work required
to function inside a structured "science team" churning papers for more funding.
These teams do invent stuff, but only
because these teams get better equipment, funding and
social support. Only rich eccentrics can fund "garage science",
with rest trying "startup culture" to monetize inventions
which incentivizes business-centric approach to "get something
quick to market to get rich" - which attracts far different
people than lone inventors working "for science":
people today want to protect/patent/safeguard their
invention far more than they want for it to be famous
or recognized, fearing being left in the dust while megacorporations
steal their inventions and mass-produce cheapest
version of their design at economic advantage.

in my own experience i feel like my subconscious mind does most of the problem solving and my conscious mind is mostly used for identifying the problem, selecting the input data, and then observing the result. if you flip your perspective you might also consider that while you are using your brain to program a computer you are also using the computer as a tool to program your brain. what makes computers so unique is that they give you the ability to control the input to the audio/visual centers of your brain so that you are able to manipulate the stream of information that is passing through your (very limited) short term memory. typing plays an interesting role here as well because there is subconscious muscle memory and so once you practice enough you write code the same way a musician plays a piano which is subconscious reaction between visual symbols and muscle memory. whats different with computers is that instead of reading from a printed music sheet you are able to control the sequence of visual symbols that trigger the subconscious muscle memory reactions that result in typing.

if the brain is actually a biological neural network then this is not surprising. input takes time to propagate through the layers of the network and sleep is a necessary part of how that biological process works so the information needed to solve a problem might take a nights sleep to propagate to the depth where it can be solved or it might need a variety of other inputs that take time to acquire before enough information is ingested to reach a solution.

What firestorm?

Bankoff and Winter are not the only researchers who committed arson in the name of science. In 2018, a team of Ukrainian and British archeologists burned down not one but two historically accurate structures.

Still, the results were nearly identical. The walls of both buildings were left intact, as were various clay pots and figurines the researchers had placed inside them. What’s more, neither fire managed to spread, indicating that the practice was safe and controllable.

The structures have thick kiln like clay walls .. large amounts of additional fuels was required to burn the wooden walls, roof and thatching out and still the burn was contained by thick two storey high clay walls.

There's no real suggestion that all the houses were all burned all at the same time, just that all the houses were regularly burnt out, with suggested reasons:

* burning houses of dead people,

* burning to strengthen clay walls

I looked for and didn't see "burning to clear out bugs and nasties in thatchwork | organic woven walls, etc".

Once a generation "maintainance" isn't a bad theory - drop the roof, replaster the walls with wet clay pushed into cracks and washout sections, new walls for new rooms, etc. and then torch to cleanse and 'fire' the clay.

> If European progressives don't take a hard stance on immigration and immigrant crime, I believe we might see a Hitler in Europe again, promising to bring order (like they always do).

I am Eastern European and I have exactly same opinion about this issue. The leftist governments are pushing their heads into the sand, labeling people who wants to tackle immigration or pointing at problem which unrestricted immigration does as xenophobes or nazis or even trying to go one step further and attempt to ban parties like AfD who are pointing at the issue, even though they don't have coherent plan.

And at the same time progressive parties are surprised that AfD is polling at 22% in Germany.

Not all of those juxtapositions are equal, but let's not go into that.

>This is not true. I've lived in multiple brand new rent stabilized buildings in Brooklyn with rents above $2500/mo over the last decade.

TIL that certain buildings with j-51, 421-a and 421-g[0][1] tax abatements are also covered under the rent stabilization law. However, not all apartments currently covered by rent stabilization under those tax abatement rules will remain rent stabilized. See the links below and check your lease as you might be in for a nasty surprise.

I'd add that as of 2019, there is no maximum rent for rent stabilization either[2]. I've edited my original comment to reflect that.
