How is the future system superior? Is this a case of the languages type constraints being better vs non-existent? Saying something is superior doesn't really add much.

I am genuinely asking because I have little formal background in CS so "runtimes" and actual low level differences between , for instance, async and green threads mystifies me. EG What makes them actually different from the "runtime" perspective?
The same is in New Zealand as well. Canada, NZ, and AU all have a points-based immigration system, which awards points to education and skills in white-collar areas. Over 40 years these systems have grown the population, but has kept trades out. The result is it's now more expensive than ever to build. It's not the only reason, but it sure contributes. All three of these countries have insane housing prices.

That's what regulation is for, we have a good example in the FAA here, now we'll need something like the FAVA (Federal Autonomous Vehicle Administration) to design regulation for autonomous cars.

We have a lot of precedent at this point on how to handle new ambiguous human advancements. Typically it goes, discovery, wild west, blood, regulation, standard part of society. Rinse and repeat.

This may be regional, or a franchise vs corporate thing, but in the PNW I have never been to a McD's that had a purchase requirement to use the restrooms. But we very rarely go to an urban McD's, so that may be part of it.

Oh man would I love that, but our legal system makes this nearly impossible, especially when combined with car culture.

It's a guaranteed way to reduce pollution, improve happiness and health, save lives, etc etc etc. But it is easier to solve computer vision than go get cities to ban cars.

The thing that's a little odd to me is that in the US it swings wildly depending on region, from "we don't really care if you're a customer" (suburban retail or gas station) to "there is literally no restroom here for the general public even with purchase" (in some big cities).

And yet, here the "pay a small fee for the privilege" model seems to be completely absent. That model is also used in parts of Latin America, and it seems like it could be a useful middle ground between these US extremes.

I believe this. When I go downtown, the restrictions on facilities go up dramatically. Out in the 'burbs where we live, it's far more relaxed. But we don't have homeless people here (to speak of; we do, but it's on the order of a dozen for a city of 40K).

I’m not sure that’s entirely true. Aws at least is ok with exotic technologies if they’re an order of magnitude or more beneficial.

What’s not an opinion is that the decision explicitly states that the court agrees that some of the most powerful institutions in our society, the White House, CDC, and FBI, violated our most fundamental right of free speech.

My opinion is that you’re one of these pro-censorship people and are trying to spin how horrible and illegal the courts are saying this conduct is.
Interesting article, and the author makes some excellent points (especially about the pernicious encroachment of "touch" interfaces for systems that are fundamentally driven by keyboard and mouse on large screens) but they start with speculating about starting from scratch for desktop paradigms and ends up:

While it's one of the killer features of linux that you have enormous flexibility in how you use it and set it up, the screen-shot gives me the heebie-jeebies. Visually it's too noisy. I couldn't concentrate with that clutter screaming in my face.

Politics is really more of a multidimensional spectrum. I don't know why it's so popular to represent the entire political spectrum on one line. I guess that's what is taught in school?
> When I want to browse privately I'll do it a different way.

And that's great for you. But a reasonable society at least attempts to look out for the slowest of us. Sometimes that means social assistance, here it means defaulting to protecting people like journalists, those with unpopular (but legal) opinions, people supporting or seeking an abortion, and others looking to not be stalked, either by corporations or former associates.

Your ability to protect yourself doesn't make a difference if everyone else is tracked and monitored - either because you are suddenly the only user that needs to be unmasked, or because predicting what people will do, buy, look at, and click on relies on getting most everyone - and not having your exact data isn't going to throw the model off that much.

In summation: privacy is a team sport.

> Perhaps designers should design cities around rapid transit rather than building rapid transit after the cities have been built.

This is already the case, at least in the US. Most of our car-centric cities didn't start out that way; they were systematically converted into car-centric environments by dismantling public transit systems and replacing them with highways and surface-level parking.

It would be really weird for McD's to require a purchase, at least for our use case. We often stop at McD's on a road trip (we have kids), and the first order of business is always the bio break, wash up, and then order food. It would be irritating to have to reverse that process and then leave our food to get cold while we sought relief.
The betting company already analyses for suspicious bets and so on. If certain betting markets look more trouble than they are worth they can independently decide not to offer them. The tax payer is not involved.
Can the tv news both sides nonsense. Other points of view are the failure of governments to provide services to their citizens. For example what if the government provided for different solutions and support for those with mental and physical illness. What if governments provide stable housing AND emergency shelters. You can't just work harder to afford housing and you can't just go to AA to treat your addiction and underlying conditions.
We could also simply just not update them all at once. This is just baseless fear mongering. Obviously everyone agrees there's more engineering rigor that should go into these things than your run of the mill CRUD app from a seed stage startup.

Designer here - I will admit that I just do this as a bit of a hobby and I'm not an EE, so I don't have a great answer for you, but generally speaking since this is a high resistance/low KV motor and there's only so fast you could spin it by hand realistically, I think the voltages you could generate that way shouldn't be so high as to cause damage in most cases. The TMC6300 datasheet does show it directly connected to the BLDC motor so that's what I based this design on.

There are probably some best practices that I'm missing though (diode on the main supply maybe?), so if anyone knowledgeable wants to chime in, I'm all ears! (Or I suppose pull requests are welcome too).
"make accommodations available"

do you mean make housing available? (I ask because "accomodations" could mean other things)

If so-- Who would pay for that housing?

Are you opening your door and renting out rooms for free? Do you expect other people to do so?

Asking my tax dollars to go towards the housing of an illegal entrant... when there are legal entrants waiting years to enter the country... Nah, doesn't make sense. Sounds more like theft.

Crossing the border illegally is the same as barging through my locked door into my house. And it's especially egregious when there is a system created specifically for LEGAL immigration.

It's a slap in the face to those who follow the lawful process, in our orderly society...

...by a person coming from a disorderly society (where 90%+ of crimes go unpunished-- as is the case in Mexico)

...who thinks they have the right to break the law in a country they aren't even legally allowed to enter.
Good work. But, how is this useful other than for deception and trickery beside the fun aspect of it all? Maybe im lacking imagination and perhaps this type of progress in mimicking human interaction will actually push more and more people back to the IRL world of person to person communication.
It does no good to shoot down every change as "not good enough." I think the people who do this, almost as a knee jerk response, either do not actually believe that global climate change is something to be concerned over, or else instead achieve their self-esteem through tearing others down.

The environmentalists eat their own so often and so badly that they can't be taken seriously. You need to give people something to latch on to that appeals to them, to start something. Scolding them for believing something is a true solution when it is about a 1% solution is helping nobody.

1000 people each doing a different 1% solution is better than 10 people each doing a theoretical 100% solution. Over time, the former will run in to some good practices. The latter are just turn-offs.

And in a lot of cases it's countries that aren't exactly stable which have the resources.

This would imply a single/global runtime along with an unrealistic API surface;

For 1) It's common enough to have multiple runtimes in the same process, each setup possibly differently and running independently of each other. Often known as a "thread-per-core" architecture, this is the scheme used in apps focused on high IO perf like nginx, glommio, actix, etc.

For 2) runtime (libasync.so) implementations would have to cover a lot of aspects they may not need (async compute-focused runtimes like bevy don't need timers, priorities, or even IO) and expose a restrictive API (what's a good generic model for a runtime IO interface? something like io_uring, dpdk, or epoll? what about userspace networking as seen in seastar?). A pluggable runtime mainly works when the language has a smaller scope than "systems programming" like Ponylang or Golang.

As a side note; Rust tries to decouple the scheduling of Futures/tasks using its concept of Waker. This enables async implementations which only concern themselves with scheduling like synchronization primitives or basic sequencers/orchestration to be runtime-agnostic.

Education can lead to critical thinking, and critical thinking can lead to behaviour that's more difficult to control.

Curiosity killed the conservative.

Control is what these kinds of people want more than even money. They want the world to behave how they think it should behave. Education is not how to achieve that end.

They shouldn't have to be educated about dangers, the dangers should be entirely exterminated so that everyone can remain innocent and naive for their whole lives, and we never have to have difficult conversations.

It has happened with all resources. I won’t assume your intent but you invoked oil so I do want to point out the difference.

In a battery lithium is not consumed completely after every use like oil. The lithium in a battery is used hundreds or thousands of times. When the pack is dead it can still be downcycled and eventually the individual cells recycled. With the lithium being recovered and reused.

Yes, there is or will be a “lithium rush”. But it will look a lot more like gold or aluminum than oil.
Technically yes, “screwing” the ones that screw other people definitely will even things out and fix it, and it will reduce the gap too, however, that's something no democratic government will do when that said government needs those voters and the sponsor from corps. So democracy is the problem in this issue.
Hence “no fire”.

Thing is, as solar and wind pick up, there are going to be more and more cases where excess energy is generated for certain periods of time, and it will be advantageous to have certain businesses who can soak up lots of energy for some profitable use. And if those operations are flexible in terms of their hours of operation, they can then take credits for pausing operations at times when supply is short.

You have baseline power generation with plants that take a long time to start up or shutdown, and then you make up the rest with generation plants that can be started or shutdown on shorter notice. It makes sense to also have consumers that can also be started or shut down on short notice, in order to help balance the overall market.
in plain language: they've made a statistical model that predicts curie temperature based on a few data points; the researchers justly called it ML, the hype hunrgy copywriters called it AI (it helps to lie a little to get more clicks and show more ads). Edit: it would be AI if that model, after a day long analysis of the raw data, came up with a new principle explaining this data, and wrote down a formula with some explanations.
I didn't say it wasn't a problem elsewhere, I said this:

> To the extent it is a problem in the rest of US, it's not a big enough problem to outweigh the benefits to the business of offering a public restroom.

There are a few cities where businesses have had to take the extreme measure of closing all public restrooms to combat this abuse. Most haven't.
A "moral" act by NATO, etc., before the war would have been to listen to the advance warnings and concede on some minor points like NATO membership (remember that NATO membership means eventual bases in Ukraine, and questionable status for Russia's lease on Sevastopol), making the same kind of concessions that the US demands other nations make when operating on/near its border. You don't have to like or agree with the angry 800lbs gorilla to know that you shouldn't walk right up to it.

You claimed I was defining disinformation out of existence, and I countered that it exists as part of almost all propaganda campaigns, and is such a loaded/partisan term that it is not useful, IMO. My original point was "enemy propaganda" != "disinformation" and "agreement with one element of enemy propaganda" != "victim of a disinformation campaign". I think the polling responses were mixed largely because of genuine disagreement amongst Ukrainians, who are not a political monolith.

I built a small site/app once for 5%. I mostly only did it because I wanted a project that would force me to get some experience in certain technologies, and if I made any money that'd be a nice bonus (i.e. I never expected for the shares to be worth anything). The company folded about 6 months afterwards, they didn't even bother notifying me when they went under.

The point is, don't expect to get paid if you do this kind of thing.

I'd advise only do it if:

- the project is very limited scope, and you make it clear that they're not buying an on-call support person after delivery

- everything is in writing, using standard terms - everybody is friendly when there's no money on the table, not so much when your % cuts into their $$$ (c.f. The Facebook)

- you actually want to do the project, you don't need the money, and you're not going to be pissed off if you never see a dime

Edit: Forgot to mention, ask for a lot of points - you're shouldering a lot of risk that you're never going to get paid for your time. If they push back, point out that the company is not established, and you have no input into the direction of the company, so you are operating at basically 100% risk. Lotto tickets should have big jackpots, or what's the point?
