The 1913 Webster is among the standard dictionaries included with the gcide dictionary, accessible via dictd (and the dict command) on Debian (and derived distros: Ubuntu, Mint, etc.). This provides terminal-mode access to word definitions.

You can specify which dictionary you want to use with the '-d' option, or write an alias or bash function to invoke gcide directly, e.g.,

dgcide () { dict -d gcide "$*" | ${PAGER:-less}; }

Another favourite dictionary is the Online Etymological Dictionary, which shows word origins (not necessarily the present day meaning, but often informing it.

That's also possible to query from a terminal via:

This is a completely predictable outcome of an energy policy that pretends that intermittent power generation is substitutable for dispatchable power generation. Also related to a distributed energy system (diesel/gasoline) vs a centralized system (electrical grid).

The fact that there was traffic flowing to the right seems to indicate that the scenario was such that people weren’t stopping and pulling over.
It sounds like the only reason why the 4 degree Celsius scenario is deemed unrealistic is that people don’t like it. So they have come up with hopium about as of yet imaginary solutions and veracity of carbon pledges.
Because why the person needed an ambulance is completely immaterial to whether the ambulance was impeded a self-driving vehicle or not.

It could have just as easily been a heart attack and the questions raised about self-driving vehicles would be no different.

> Doesn’t matter. If there’s a law about getting out of the way, offering maximum space and choices to emergency vehicles, and you didn’t do that, you failed and you broke the law.

Then we can talk about whether the vehicle operator failed to obey the law, but I think we're talking about something far more serious, which is whether Cruise indirectly killed a man.

In determining whether Cruise has moral responsibility over this death, it is then natural for citizens to look over the video footage and ask what's going on.
It makes me think of the "efficient frontier" idea that hedge funds are based on that make a case that proper use of leverage really can improve the risk/reward distribution of a portfolio but you can just as easily get into a trap where you juice a failing strategy by applying more leverage to cover up the fact it isn't working anymore, see the "Market Neutral" funds that blew each other up in the summer of 2007.

In my mind it is quite similar to Diallo's "All Weather" strategy where inflation protected bonds play a role similar to gold in Browne's portfolio.
Showing up in person to blackmail is a sureshot way to get beaten up by victim and their supporters in India, 99% of the times. It is like police-on-the-way pay up right now scams happening in USA. Scammer takes advantage of fear of insult of police showing up & in handcuffs. If the police actually show up, the fear is gone, it can't be undone.

The naked video chat scam, when it was new, was mostly banking on victim wanting to keep it secret or wanting to go away. Once of somebody shows up, that shame is gone; and beating ensues.

Yes, Photoshop happens, simple clothed people face gets plastered of fake screenshots.

There are plenty of other scams going on. Like international caller will call and say your son/daughter/relative is on trouble (hospital, police, accident) amd pay right now to get him saved from that said trouble.

Or caller will say that I will send you X amount of money to safe keep, but pay x/100 now to get X across.

And many.

> I don't know the solution to convincing suburban Americans to buy smaller houses and smaller cars, but I think the only way it works is if there is a positive vision of the future with both more wealth and a healthier planet.

While I agree, it's worth mentioning that this framing overlooks the significant central planning component.

The suburban lifestyle is heavily subsidized from nearly every direction (housing, autos, roads, fuel, power and water grid, shipping) which makes something that is actually a luxury lifestyle feel like a median lifestyle. If suburban living were priced at the free market rate we would see an organic shift to denser developments and more efficient resource usage.
I’m guessing the reason the jerks are driving on the sidewalk is because the roads are unsafe for them. Maybe cars (the vehicles making the roads unsafe) are the real problem?

Will Cruise be taking centralized responsibility for the issues here?

I think it's very worthwhile to think of the overall improvements to safety while still acknowledging the arbitrage a corporation brings.
You recommend using a framework like doom or building up your own config?
A human likely wouldn’t sit there failing to move over with an ambulance honking and blaring its sirens so this hypothetical is ridiculous, and the media isn’t slandering them by reporting on the incident. No one knows “what would have happened” for certain, and the headline only implies the mere possibility of causation (for anyone literate who reads it)

It’s the lack of examples (I actually browsed the site for 2–3 minutes for some and didn’t find any), and that the screenshot doesn’t show the input prose text that the output applies to.

Instead of the long list of integrations, more exposition and context would be helpful, or at least an immediate link to an introduction page providing that. In earlier times, software documentation would provide a whole introductory book chapter providing the context, use cases, and some examples.

As a side note, regarding the screenshot, I’m wondering whether the tool also provides a rationale for each item, as the displayed text isn’t very informational on the why.

We are trying this but have you seen the constant media siege bombarding us with “studies” show remote work is bad for you? In the uk there are now articles saying that even hybrid is bad. We want to be more independent but we are not always allowed to. Tech is meant to be the easiest path to independence yet somehow its not. Wondering why.
Emerging countries have the benefit of modern technology though. They can buy solar panels and batteries instead of coal plants like everyone else.

Without a change in legislation, there is no chance for "Make it cost effective".

Any new technology like making hydrocarbons from carbon dioxide requires the spending of a very large amount of money before becoming cost effective.

There are already several decades since almost all companies have stopped doing long-term research. Now everybody does research for things that will either become profitable next year or in any case when they are multi-year projects they are just improvements of established techniques, with known market, so that there is a very low risk that they might not be profitable.

The only way in which hydrocarbon synthesis would see the level of investment that is required for making it cost effective would be with some form of governmental intervention.

We could have had already today cost-effective hydrocarbon synthesis if a lot of money and research time would not have been wasted with research in various directions that have been considered as futile by most since the very beginning, especially for methods of hydrogen storage and for hydrogen fuel cells.

Because they didn't care about the person in the ambulance.
The primary objective was to access RSS feeds from various platforms or to create them with known structures to facilitate access to feeds, such as iTunes, SoundCloud, YouTube, and Google Podcasts. Recently, I have incorporated the ability to generate RSS feeds for Spotify shows, as they currently do not provide access to an XML file. However, this feature is limited to shows only and does not include playlists or artists.

The main focus was on accessing podcast RSS feeds, which is why the initial efforts were concentrated on these platforms. However, plans are in place to expand support to other platforms and different types of content based on user demand.

May I ask what purpose you are using the RSSPreview addon for?
>It sacrifices some returns to achieve that, but if you're retired or nearly so, it's a solid choice.

In that scenario, especially given a healthy nest egg, it absolutely makes sense to optimize locking in an income stream at the expense of limiting the upside. Once you have "enough" money close to retirement, it's mostly about not taking risks for potential gains that won't really benefit you.

For someone in a different situation, it will often make sense to go for higher average returns over time.

(All of which is pretty much bog standard financial planning advice.)
Yeah, not going to argue the lightning rod of a headline even if it was careful not to actually say “Cruise killed a man.”

I'm a GenZ working with data. Most of my friends also work with "computer stuff" (data, digital design, online marketing etc).

Most of us have laptops for work only. We usually have conversations about ditching our laptops because we often associate it with the stress of our jobs. Being on a computer for me is almost the same as working, so if I can get away from my laptop I will do it.

Phones on the other hand are more associated with, well, everything else. Social contact, convenience, leisure (music, books) etc.

After I finished my master's the first thing I did was ditch my laptop and only used a smartphone for more than a year. Then I got a job with online marketing and had to get a laptop again because typing and having multiple tabs open were more convenient.

Take all of this as anecdote, however -- this is just me and my social circle. Where I live I know many GenZ who don't even have PCs (some don't even know how to use them proficiently). I however know a few GenZ who are almost PC addicts (gaming, hacking etc).

Assuming this[1] is the report you’re referring to:

> By the 2000s, so much information was being generated
worldwide that only a small fraction (0.5% in 2015) of the
digital data generated was being analyzed at all. [emphasis mine]

Not only is it ‘data analyzed’ and not ‘content consumed,’ but I can’t figure out what they mean by ‘analyzed’ either. Reading the rest of the paragraph makes me think that this is talking about things like clickstream data that businesses love to collect “so we can use big data to enhance user engagement” and then leave to pile up in their data warehouse once they discover that data analysis is hard; if so, this statistic is unrelated to the production:consumption ratio of “content” in the sense of things that people might want to look at on its own merits.

> We have a small car (that transports four adults in comfort) that weighs almost exactly half what the Taurus does. It's also really easy to park!

These vehicles were chosen because they are approximately the same size as the Model 3. You can make whatever kind of vehicle in whatever size you want. There are electric bikes that weigh 40 pounds.

> Perhaps instead of trying to ban new ICE vehicles, the taxes should be gradually raised on diesel and petrol to include an additional levy which covers whatever mitigation strategy is appropriate to deal with the emissions.

Raising energy costs before the existing infrastructure is replaced would be catastrophic, because replacing everything overnight is impossible and in the meantime the poor would go bankrupt and the middle class would become poor. The only sensible way to implement a carbon tax is to refund all of the money to the population.

But that's also all you need to do, because then people would have a monetary incentive to avoid the tax by reducing emissions in whatever way they find most efficient.

> I honestly don't think having a lawn or a big car or pools or the newest devices bring me significant comfort.

Good for you, then don't bother with them. But you're in a tiny minority. The rest of us do in fact very much enjoy chilling out in a nice private pool surrounded by a big lawn on a warm sunny day, relaxing on an inflatable whilst listening to awesome music streamed to our AirPods whilst we drink chilled beer and wait for friends/family to drive over and join us for an epic grilling session.

Normal people don't like these things because we've been "manipulated" by "our system", get a grip. We like these things because they're extremely enjoyable perks of living in the modern world.

That's exactly right and I think it's no much "preferring", rather than getting different deals from these companies like Microsoft. MS has already been caught specifically, but also I think that this phenomenon is hardly exclusive to software, it's just part of how the government, or rather the individuals in government, go about their business. In the third world it's practically an open secret, and I don't have doubt that basically every government works like this.

Also, large companies offer quite robust support, deals to implement specific features, compliance with different regulations, etc. I know from experience that one thing I like about dealing with large entities is that they have many corner cases already figured out.
Charcoal is pyrolized biomass, not fossil fuel, which means it's approximately carbon-neutral. The problems with it are more associated with deforestation.
I disagree that 1 deserves more of the blame here—a blocked ambulance is blocked from attending to all medical emergencies, not just medical emergencies caused by (human-powered) car accidents.

If the robotaxi had blocked the ambulance from reaching someone who'd just had a stroke, blame would rest 100% on the robotaxi. And there's no telling that this won't happen again.
Elon Musk owns the biggest EV company. If that doesn't make you suspicious I don't know what will.
The counter-position: Civil and criminally-negligent accountability for robo-taxis are unproven, untested, and unclear.

Being corporate-owned and run, who goes to prison for vehicular negligence? Will fines be collected and too many violations lead to revocation of license?

When accidents with autonomous cars are blamed on humans (and they are), why are key details like inhuman and unexpected behavior by the autonomous car omitted?

People are acting rationally here.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I feel I work harder than most people on my team. I always go for stories in areas that are more complex than the rest or areas that are new to me. I'm always trying to learn more to keep ahead of the rest.

My performance reviews are always "exceeds expectations", but I haven't seen how this benefits anyone other than the company so far.

Maybe I should just take it more easy but I feel like I'd float under the radar for possible promotion then.

> Can someone explain what the appeal of solo freelancing is in the age of bountiful remote work?

For start, remote work is not so bountiful.

At least it is pretty hard to find companies paying around UK/USA salary to people employed in Poland.

In my solo freelancing I charge a bit less than UK/USA salary, depending on who is hiring. So far all companies refused such salary and wanted to pay at most 200% of typical local salary.

> We really, really need to stop giving agriculture a pass on emissions.

Not just emissions, other externalities as well. It's madness to grow alfalfa in California, only to ship it to Saudi-Arabia for cattle feed. Or for Amazon rainforest to be burned down to grow soybeans that are used to feed cattle on fields that were priorly used for soybeans and then ship the meat to the US and Europe.

The problem is that consumers want fresh <everything> 24/7/365, and it would use up enormous amounts of political capital to get that under control.

Last I heard, Hollywood actors and writers weren't being abused, deceived, or coerced into working in this industry. They're not working under hazardous conditions or agreeing to false terms of work. It seems that there are people who want to work for the wages that are offered, the group just isn't happy with what they're being paid.

Aside from the consequences of their collective ability to withhold labor and ability to penalize those who don't join their union, can anyone explain why we should support them?

Why should I be glad to see actors strike for more $, any more than I would be happy to see plumbers strike so that they can charge me even more for work?
The only way this will happen (anytime soon) is if they put the safety drivers back in but they will never do that willingly because they have worked for a decade and invested billions to get to this point and it would be difficult to capitulate. There is simply no way to remotely assist reliably in the same way as being physically present (no network has 0 latency and 100% reliability). The AI likely cannot drive “perfectly” no matter how good it gets and neither can humans, but for the foreseeable future the AI will continue making entirely different type of mistakes than humans do.
