I think there's a pretty large middle ground of society that could be reached, iff a credible and full plan for migrating from one modality to the other were presented. I have probably 30 years of ambulatory life ahead of me. My kids have twice that or a little more.

A plan that makes life worse for the next 20 or 50 years until we get to the other side where it's better is a non-starter. A vague, hand-wavy plan of "eliminate stroads; reduce parking" and no more steps is a non-starter.

I'm not sure if it's practically possible to switch an existing city from a car-centric mode to a pedestrian-centric mode inside of 10 years, but if we could evaluate and debate a credible plan to do that, we might make more progress than is currently happening.

4. is ... interesting :-) You made access to KeePass more obscure for "security reasons." But fear not: "With Bitwarden I just open the app." Okay cool.
Enron wasn't just cooking their books a little.

Enron created a "bandwidth marketplace", that is, a commodity market like there is for energy where providers can bid for data transit between locations. Then they estimated all the value of all the future trades on that market based on some very optimistic assumptions, estimated all their own future profit as the market maker using even more optimistic assumptions, and marked all that hypothetical profit to market and immediately recognized it as profit on their books.

It was tens of billions of dollars. Despite the fact that a "bandwidth marketplace" doesn't actually make sense (data transfer is a lot less fungible than energy, and there are usually only very few possible competitors for any route), and even if it had made sense, they couldn't have hoped to secure anywhere near the cut they assumed, and even if they had, the bottom was going to fall out of the market because people kept coming up with new and exiting ways to move more data on the same fiber, leading to massive overcapacity.
What a coincidence that in the CarbonDioxideRemoval google group I opened that can of worms just the day before that guest essay opened it in "The Newspaper of Record".

Every time this has been brought up since the 1990s, it has driven scientists over the edge. As I pointed out to the CDR group, this is just one more case where the Algorithmic Information Criterion is ignored as a resolution to scientific controversies (rendered intractable more because of their very importance than the lack of data).
I can't replicate this.

I tested your prompt verbatim in the OpenAI playground. Model set to gpt-4-0314, maximum length set to 6485 (nothing special about this number, I just dragged the slider to something high-ish), all other settings left at their default.

I cancelled the request when it reached "one thousand one hundred twenty-one" (which took over five minutes), but up until that point it did not take any shortcuts. I haven't meticulously checked every number, but it printed exactly 1,121 lines, and a cmd+F for "..." doesn't return anything.
NASA's report backs up previous debunks stating that GOFAST was only going maybe 40 mph, which isn't out of line for windspeed at that altitude. It might have been a balloon. https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/uap_ind... Page 28
When Bitwardens servers are inaccessible mobile and windows app continue to work just fine using a cached version.

In my case even sync new passwords once the seever/Internet comes back up.
There are several file systems: a virtual file system (in the resource manager), a network file system (in netfs, with a cache in RAM), a local persistent file system (in localfs, using littlefs and indexedDB). Pipe driver is there. and some signalling as well.

At the moment the project is a proof of concept, for sure a lot of things are not developed and not debugged. If it appears that the project is interesting enough, I will have to find people helping me to make it a real product
I see this angle a lot; " Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory [1]" it's often called. However, Facebook -- the single largest social website in the world -- stands as stark evidence that anonymity doesn't really factor in all that much. I'm not saying it isn't a contributing factor, but it's not the boogeyman it is so very often made out to be.

IIUC a merkle tree is a data structure where the leaf nodes are the hashes of data. The inner nodes of the tree are hashes of the child hashes up to a root hash.

Merkle trees are helpful for quickly validating the integrity of a chunked file. Both IPFS and BitTorrent use merkle trees to validate files.

I do not understand how git could represent its history using a merkle tree.

I wouldn't say "the norm", but Austria is lagging behind Germany in the CPI for a reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index

Government project tenders are often notoriously intransparent, as ironically evidenced by the fact that the government hasn't been able to stand up a price comparison database for months, as also mentioned in TFA.
None claiming it is extraterrestrial but there is no evidence to the contrary either. You have too many diverse independent sensors that lined up.
> GIMBAL/GOFAST video footage

Regardless of whatever Navy personnel think or say, neither of these videos shows an object moving in an abnormal way. The objects in these videos have mundane trajectories which are easily explained by extant earth technology (balloon or drone n the case of GOFAST, and another airplane in the case of GIMBAL.)

There is NO evidence of aliens, alien technology or even advanced human technology in these videos.

Given this, I'd treat this site, not just the article, with several metric tonnes of salt. It's like, just their opinion, man, to (mis)quote the dude...
There's Carrefour in many countries, but this campaign is only in France.
Is there not a EU-level research service that does this? I would be surprised if there is not something like the USDA's Economic Research Service, that has price data on virtually everything you can eat, going back 50 years.

I see major development studios are fine with this change. No Blizzard, Bethesda, Rockstar, CD Project Red, Epic Games, Ubisoft...

Unless they weight in on this, Unity won't budge. Honestly, it almost seems like someone is destroying the IT industry on purpose.
There are polls, in the US at least, asking the same exact questions gong back I believe half a century or more. It is very clear from these polls that this is the most poltically polarized time in politics in decades.

It's not just recency bias - things are really screwed up.

Why (my opinion) one side started caring more about winning than any of their own positions. That then devolved into only caring if the other side loses regardless of what the policy is.

If a party's main focus is the other side loses rather than to successfully govern - you end up here. And the fact they more or less admit it, and people jump to justify it shows how far things have fallen.
In EU it's indeed illegal and in 90% of EU countries it won't even go to court. But they can probably force you to not upgrade anything cause of licensing of the new software or if you upgrade they'll make you pay fees from that moment onwards.

But in US im pretty sure it is open for the legal battle that will cost tons of cash for both sides.
That's just blatantly false: https://www.gasworld.com/story/wood-to-expand-us-hydrogen-pi...

In reality, hydrogen is much cheaper than expanding the grid. You are basically dismissing basic physics with nationalism. Whichever country you're from, it too will find out that is cheaper to build a hydrogen network rather than massive grid expansion.
Also, French supermarkets have a long history of bullying AAA labels, nudging customers to buy their "home label" copy cat alternatives instead.
> We also know from experience that few houses go more than 50 years without a major remodel

Well obviously, if we don't build houses to last longer than a few decades. You're describing a symptom not a reason.
House builders in the UK can employ independent, non Govt, inspectors to ensure they are building to regulations (our equiv of your building code). You can imagine how well that works since these inspectors only have one client.
To my opinion, emulation cannot be a real ecosystem for developing web apps
I guess it's a cool idea. No shade meant at all, as obviously you've done more than me, but this seems to be missing quite a bit.

ls /bin
bash fb ip localfs login mingetty netfs pipe resmgr sh sysvinit tty

I assumed "ip" was the tool from the iproute2 package, but typed in "ip a" out of curiosity to see if this really set up some kind of virtual devices, and it has hung ever since, not dropping me back to the shell. crtl-c doesn't seem to do anything. There is no /etc/passwd or /etc/groups files, so whoami and groups can't map the ids to names. The login is weird if everyone is root. Why not just drop straight to the shell? It seems to exist only to be able to set the environment variable for a user name, but it's not actually a username.

It seems you can run shell builtins that don't depend too heavily on having real proc, dev, and sys filesystems or FHS compliance, and that's about it? Is there a way to write a file? Attempting a heredoc gave a "resource busy" error. Redirecting echo to a filename didn't complain, but there is no file present after doing it. echo $? says bad file descriptor. Is there a way to query exit status of the commands you run?
My pharmacist posted a sign that everyone can see in the background:

True, Libya gave up their nukes to appease the same force that then turned around and bombed them. That doesn't undermine the strong impression I have that the intervention in Libya was the proximate cause of most of the modern crises in the Sahel, northern Iraq, with ISIS, "fortress Europe" response to migration, etc.

The US in particular, but also plenty of NATO and European powers, have not learned any lessons from the era of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan: supporting the most barbaric reactionary forces in a bid to destabilize/topple a disfavored central government, leads to widespread suffering in the region, and eventually on home turf.

And the US nearly directly caused a similar dam catastrophe in recent memory: https://archive.md/20230606233936/https://www.nytimes.com/20...

Reading about that conflict should remind people that the US military uses the same tactics that Russia is using right now in Ukraine (indiscriminate shelling), except with air superiority, the bombardment is more varied and destructive.
That's what I've found too. Bun has bugs and definitely shouldn't have had a 1.0 release and been called "stable." Bun also has some benchmarks where they weren't exactly correct [0]. Deno on the other hand just works. I wonder if it comes from the respective languages that each use, ie Rust favors correctness while Zig doesn't necessarily.

Don't know, but the majority of sheets I've been in contact with (trading desks)
Yeah the syntax comparison is deliberately misleading.

They style it as "4 lines vs 10 lines!" when it's actually 4 lines vs 4 lines.

# PRQL
from employees
select {id, first_name, age}
sort age
take 10

# Misleading SQL
SELECT
id,
first_name,
age
FROM
employees
ORDER BY
age
LIMIT
10

# Actual SQL
SELECT id, first_name, age
FROM employees
ORDER BY age
LIMIT 10

The join example is similarly deceptive:

# PRQL
from employees
join b=benefits (==employee_id)
join side:left p=positions (p.id==employees.employee_id)
select {employees.employee_id, p.role, b.vision_coverage}

# Misleading SQL
SELECT
employees.employee_id,
p.role,
b.vision_coverage
FROM
employees
JOIN benefits AS b ON employees.employee_id = b.employee_id
LEFT JOIN positions AS p ON p.id = employees.employee_id

# Actual SQL
SELECT employees.employee_id, p.role, b.vision_coverage
FROM employees
JOIN benefits b USING employee_id
LEFT JOIN positions p USING employee_id

Nonsense.
Its like fighting Amazon. They kick you off the affiliate program and to fight you start with arbitration ($2000). And lose your ability for Prime shipping, movies, music and stuff. It's like impossible to fight these big dogs
So they substituted federal subsidies for VC funding so they could keep the cheap rideshare party going? Instead of fixing their bus routes? Must be nice.
There are web API for accessing Google Drive and Drop Box. So I do not think so. But I have to try for confirming this

Nintendo has used Unity for certain titles. Off the top of my head I can think of the Pokemon Sinnoh remakes, Super Mario Run, I think the fire emblem mobile game too?
It's suns and shadows on sea surface. IIRC some of videos show target ranging, which is around the altitude the aircraft were flying, in miles. Aircraft altimeters are almost always in feet so pilots generally don't immediately notice that.
At this point, one chooses the solution for their problem. The reason the fads occur is that a person who vaguely understands both the problem and the solution will write a blog post which happens to go viral talking about how the solution will solve all problems.

NoSQL databases aren’t unilaterally worse than relational ones. They just solve different problems.
Usually shrinkflation is more subtle, eg the same size bottle has a spacer on the bottom so it's the same size as the 1l bottle but only holds 900ml. No way to buy 1l at that point, and most people don't memorize the unit prices
Excuse me, but what expensive regulation and high grocery store workers' taxation are you talking about that's responsible for making prices so much higher than in Germany?
It's inaccurate though. The whole point of horcruxes in the book is that Voldemort can always resurrect himself if one of them remains. This tool is the opposite: you need multiple parts to reconstruct the file.
> It is good to see the Pentagon releasing evidence even when it makes the government look silly.

NASA isn't the Pentagon fyi. The Pentagon is the headquarters of the Department of Defense, the US military. NASA is a civilian agency, they aren't in that.
They're usually classified because they reveal information on sensor capabilities, NASA's director talked about that at the press conference.
China and the US are different today.
This garden-path headline has a good match between "water" and "leak"; I give it two thumbs up.
I wonder how that works, do they ship the entire Deno runtime with the executable à la Electron?
All those major studios listed have their own game engines, so unitys decisions don't affect them anyways. And Epic develops Unreal Engine, so Unitys' loss is their win.
> Maybe ask a few South Koreans about that?

Like who, the hundreds of civilians the US massacred at No Gun Ri ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Gun_Ri_massacre )? Or all the other civilians shot and bombed by the US Air Force, as internal documents and testimony attest to? Or the firebombing of cities by the US air force? Or the rapes and murders US military personnel have carried out in South Korea in the past decades? Or the decades of dictatorship in South Korea that the US military occupation shored up?
please stop. i just upgrade to 13.2.
My understanding of modern cryptography is limited. Can someone explain if someone gets my horcrux files, would they be able to decrypt the original? If so, then what is the benefit of this tool?
Please understand that I was not suggesting that you personally were playing these unpleasant games for personal gain, but many politicians and media outlets are and have been for a while.

(I also accept that some of these people actually believe this stuff maybe even having thought about it, but some people will believe anything...)

Clarity and consistency and definitions are good, I'm with you. But when there are many people abusing them in bad faith to deflect and wound it is also important to continue seeing the wood and the trees.

My friend with half the cells in their body male and half female would like not to be arrested if ever visiting TX and needing to take a pee. At least some of the people pushing this sort of law do not care about facts or treating another human as their peer at all, they have $$$ and votes to make NOW.

Thus it is important to put up clear examples such as the one in the story to reduce support for as Bill such as this from people who do care about facts and humans.
I don't think your bacteria on a slide analogy makes much sense. A thin 3D space is still not 2D. A bacterium also doesn't have any comprehension or concept of anything, so of course it doesn't have a concept of 3D space.

Undetectable beings living in another part of reality we're unaware of are, of course, unfalsifiable.
You could go canoe or kayak around it! https://paddling.com/paddle/trips/manicouagan-lap
So by the end of the article they let on that, like Uber, the cost is unsustainable. It has to be very inefficient to be paying one driver & one vehicle making trips for one person. Maybe there is some balance for on call pickups in small towns, but when they said they were offering public "microtransit" for fedex workers in Chicago, but nothing about scaling efficiencies for predictable flows, I was surprised at the scale mismatch. Single passenger trips for commuting for major metro areas seems crazily inefficient - especially for the bulk flow of commuter routes making it even more difficult to balance return trips for the vehicles.

The described "flexibility" didn't seem to consider figuring out where the service could increase efficiency by identifying from the trip data, emergent planned routes or dynamic grouping routes to bump up the vehicle size and route timing.
Yeah Safeway typically shows price per unit, but Trader Joe’s (which is often thought of as a ‘friendly’ grocery) never does. I wish they did!
> Of course doing do would be disastrous for the supermarkets

I'm not sure this would be true, at least in the United States.

WalMart used to have a tool where you could scan your receipt in their app, they'd compare prices to competitors and if they found a lower price, you'd get a rebate.

It wasn't that popular or successful.

Can't find much info online, but here's an old discussion on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Frugal/comments/2x9ajh/walmart_app_...
That's because they're mostly libertarian LARPer who despise the fact that humans are social animals and they would die if they actually tried to live their 'sovereign citizen' fantasy.
Yeah. 8GB of ram is pretty much the minimum usable amount these days. If you can get 8GB into an older machine (with an SSD), then it should work fine.

But 4GB? Pass.
Right and when you accidentally say no to the ones that actually matter?

The whole problem with a sea of notifications is that it’s hard to identify what’s important and what’s not. Your suggested solution does nothing to solve that problem other than to relocate when the problem arises.
That’s not the point. The point is where what you have came from in the first place.

A loan creates an advance. That advance is the bank owing a person in return for the person owing the bank.

The advance is then used to pay you so you have a deposit. All that does is change the ownership tag on the advance.
That's likely a deficiency of your VW diesel. VW never properly designed them correctly, and that includes not meeting emissions. Other car engines likely won't have that many issues.

Once you deal with the eventuality of a dead battery, it will easily trump all repair costs of ICE cars. People are just pretending it won't happen to them.

Also, an FCEV is an electric car too, and doesn't have that many mechanical parts either. It also lacks a giant battery. Basic engineering suggests it will be the cheapest type of car of all to maintain once they hit critical mass.
See the greatly successful nutrition info block on everything in the US.
this is too simplistic.

There are LOTS of conspiracy theories where the 'conspiracy' is not at all hidden, but out in the open and it's an open question of whether it's a coincidence or actually coordinated action. Based on common sense discernment, some of these range from "almost certainly true" to "probably nonsense".

There are also conspiracy theories where there is no longer evidence of conspiracy, but lots of evidence of deliberate data destruction. One can only infer the motive behind the data destruction, but I wouldn't call this type 1 or type 2. It's not inherently unfalsifiable by design, but extremely hard to falsify. If you mark such a conspiracy theory with the label, you risk discouraging people from trying to uncover what actually happened, and converting a "maybe successful conspiracy" to an "actually successful conspiracy" (if indeed it is a conspiracy).
Concretely, the activists should chant:
“GT DLE LNG” (drum beat)
“GT DLE LNG” (drum beat)
“GT DLE LNG”

All of the local air quality concerns would disappear if their protest is effective.

GT : Gas Turbine
DLE: Dry / low emission
LNG: liquefied natural gas
It sounds like you're talking about an "air to water" heat pump. Or some other source to water heat pump.

Phase changes, and pressurized tubes screams heat pump to me. This is different than solar thermal which is essentially leaving a bottle of water sitting in your car on a sunny day. Nothing more complex needed.
This seems like very useful for browsing NFS shares. Has networked filesystems been a part of the initial motivation?
I also read in internet that JVM inlines all method calls by default, and fallbacks to virtual dispatching if finds out it is needed.
I think what you're missing, is the comic shows a scene with two guys, and the discussion shows the guy is in the other room.

And points out how encryption is useless in such a situation. And this is just the sort of situation you end up in, if the law decides you'd better hand over your password.

You are beaten(depending upon who is the law), or physically grabbed at gunpoint, and thrown in jail.. until you hand over the password.

So the point is, encryption is useless in some circumstances.

I don't see anyone in that comic, claiming that encrypted passwords are useless. Or that someone hacking you from half way around the world, will fly to your house and kidnap you.

Instead, it's a point to think on. Are the steps being taken, useful and helpful for the planned scenario?

Really, you should level your complaints at people using this humorous comic wrong. Not the author.
