For me there's a big "Manage Location History" button on the main page, which has a clear option to turn off or turn off and delete, as well auto-delete setting. Not sure how dark mode would affect how visible it is, but in the default view, it's pretty in your face.

I'd say the trickiest bit is probably finding your timeline in the first place if you don't regularly make use of it, but I get periodic emails about it — at least a monthly summary.

EDIT: Looks like, at least in Firefox, the page doesn't respect Dark Mode at all.

I am absolutely sure that the EULA stated they reserve the right to make this sort of pricing change. Every EULA does.
Besides the other commenter's point (that had the apartments, luxury or otherwise, not been built, prices would have gone up), I think college towns are an exceptional market, especially depending on what type of college it is. If it's an elite, highly selective university, a lot of the students going there are largely price-insensitive. Same for universities with a lot of foreign students.

And in general, college towns are highly desirable places, with a blend of small-town feeling and cultural amenities that punch way above their weight due to all the students. It's hard for prices to fall in situations like that.
A bit of searching implies that they are not stored as Octrees due to "performance reasons":

> [...] To understand why octrees are slower for Minecraft games, it isn’t really necessary to invoke such exotic explanations. The underlying reason for the worse performance is purely algorithmic: each time an arbitrary voxel is touched, either when iterating or performing a random access, it is necessary to traverse to the entire height of the octree. Since octrees are not necessarily balanced, this can be as much as log(maximum size of game world)! Assuming the coordinate system is say 32 bit, this brings an added overhead of 32 additional non-coherent memory accesses per each operation that touches the map (as opposed to the flat array, where everything is simply constant time).

I learned from calling that hotels have a set of rooms that are reserved exclusively for Booking. So they might tell you no availability at this time, but Booking showing that they have "only 2 rooms left in this place".
Yes! But outside of urban areas, like in my area for example, that level of sophistication is relatively uncommon.

And tubeless tires with a good sealant allow you to have all the benefits of flexible tires (rolling efficiency and light weight) without any of this fancy mumbo-jumbo. I've been running tubeless tires within racing casings for years on the mean streets of Seattle and I have never had a puncture stop a ride. In theory a really big puncture could take out my tire, but most of the problems are due to small things (glass, wire etc.).

Didn't that exact thinking got us into trouble over and over?

Why would you ever use any other browser instead of browser X? What follows is the browser X getting 99% of the market, and the vendor of X becoming lazy and ruining X completely.

> and you can AOT compile it with graal!

You can do that already (and have been able to do so for some time) with Quarkus (a partial EE implementation, related to JBoss/WildFly) and things like Piranha Cloud.

Helidon (another partial EE implementation) has been working on virtual thread support with a custom HTTP engine build in cooperation with the JDK team.

Microsoft’s made account management annoying and shitty and unreliable—like, they make it weirdly hard just to buy the damn game—for MC Classic.

I’d love a way to sidestep them. It’d make my life easier. We already own four or five copies of the game, so I’m not even talking about piracy.

Plus their fucking launcher phones home to any of a whole bunch of IP addresses, refusing to launch the game if those requests fail, which makes allowlist-based management of kids’ connected devices difficult if you want them to be able to play Minecraft and don’t want to have to manually intervene every time they start the game. God damn is that annoying.

(We tried the minecraft-clone plug-in bundle for that one open source engine, and the kids and I both found it off putting and definitely worse in ways that were hard to put my finger on, but were real. Instant rejection by the kids, and I couldn’t blame them)

> Now no one is ever able to improve on the connector reliability because the EU has frozen the design forever by enshrining it into law?

The EU has made it clear that if the manufacturers get together and come up with a replacement, technically superior standard, then it will be permitted. However, there isn't one on the horizon anytime soon because USB-C doesn't really have any weaknesses requiring a new connector right now.

> The Lightning connector was superior in many ways. I have no idea why everyone is celebrating this downgrade.

Faster speeds, but primarily consistency with other devices. I can certify that when you travel with a MacBook, Nintendo Switch, iPad, Portable Soundbar, Battery Pack, and they all use USB-C... the iPhone that uses Lightning gets pretty annoying very quickly.

To be honest, part of me wondered if Apple could have gotten away (even though it would have caused shock) with 2 connectors on the iPhone. Lightning on the bottom where it had always been, USB-C on the left side with the volume switches and SIM card tray, just for the EU market. Would've been compliant but the EU would've been furious.

I agree that European lenders went overboard, but I can't blame them for requiring strict measures after the corrupt government of one member state threatened the economic stability of the entire EU bloc.

Years of government mismanagement and fraudulent reports had put Greece in a state where nobody reputable would lend them money, in extreme debt, and without an economy to recover by itself any time soon.

Greece could've decided not to take up the bailouts, of course. All austerity packages were passed by the democratically elected Greek parliament.

The EU would've liked Greece to magically go out of debt, but it's not like they were just going to hand the Greek government hundreds of billions of gifts and a pat on the back with a quick "try not to go bankrupt again, OK?". If you lend someone money, you want some kind of guarantee that you're going to get it back. The EU wasn't being evil, it was watching its own back while the worldwide economy took a hit. They weren't alone either; the IMF also demanded reforms to ensure their loans got paid back down the line.

At every step along the way, the Greek government was involved, including causing the instability in the first place. There are plenty of evil things the EU and its many bodies do, but this wasn't a good example.

I use my phone so little that this is not really a concern, but if you're the kind of person who regularly drains your phone battery then I guess it could matter.

My battery health is reported at 81%, though I've seen some speculation that iOS 17 betas changed how this is calculated because people see lower numbers than they did before. Regardless, looking at previous 10 days history my peak battery use was about 60% last Sunday.

Having listened to podcasters discussing these ad brokers, it sounds like this is actually somewhat common. Some ad brokers take months to payout or never payout at all (usually the broker has gone out of business).
I am interested to know how it deals with lint. Lightning on all my iPhones eventually gets packed with lint from being in my pocket eventually with enough to prevent the connector from going in enough to make a good contact, usually it will stop consistently charging or connecting to carplay and I think something wrong with cable until I remember to clean it out with a paperclip or something.

Always thought they should have done a small spring loaded door that the connector pushes out of the way when inserted.

USB-C has even smaller space to stick something in to clean out lint since the pins are in the middle, also looks more delicate so would be worried to do that anyway, and a cover door looks out of the question too due to the pins in middle board.
Some even make do with a nibble.
Ah. I thought we were talking about new homes, which are sold by builders (or the bank if the builder goes bust.) On the secondary market, opportunities for weirdness certainly exists. Investors buy older homes as well as new. And my sense is fewer people are looking to buy homes in this market with mortgage rates having gone up recently. I think people who don't HAVE to sell their homes are waiting it out until rates go down and they think they can get more for their home. I have no data to back that up, it's just anecdata from talking to a few realtors and noticing there are fewer homes listed on zillow in areas I've been looking at for the last several years.

Which is to say... I think there's less inventory than we would have seen had rates remained lower. But that's sort of unrelated to the issue of builders manipulating their rates of inventory creation (which I can't imagine they don't do, at least in response to macro-economic conditions.) The reason I think they should be treated differently is it takes a noticeable amount of time for a builder to build a house. First they have to negotiate financing and insurance, negotiate plans with the county, recruit a construction crew, etc. Home owners in the secondary market can respond to market conditions much faster.
Not without consequences, as they have power over me.

And I have no real stake in the outcomes of my department/company, so frankly even a 5 minute conversation is more expensive to me than frustrating someone I will never meet, even if it costs us sales.
> > so instead I can spend more time ranting on HN or something

Bizzarre, I spend time on here so that I earn myself enough intellectual, cultural and frankly financial cushion that I don't have to set foot here anymore and spend my time driving and riding all sorts of vehicles in all sorts of wild places blessed by Natural beauty.

Nothing against you guys but some experiences are superior to others and I think that in general every person should face societal domestication as a stepping stone towards going into the wild with enough means (vehicles, equipment etc.) to conquer it.

I honestly believe that the ability to drive a car or ride a motorcycle is the only thing keeping people from snapping and violently rebel against the societal domestication in place today.

This is exactly what is happening, the marginal utility of a human has never been lower than it is today, thanks to automation, mechanization etc. It's undeniable.

Just add up the "net Income" portion from 2013 to 2022 and you'll see the $168 billion i mentioned.

The inflation thing you can simply use a cumulative inflation calculator like this https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/calculator-c...

Between 2013 and today the cumulatice rate of inflation was 33.33%, vs the 34% in profit increase => stagnation

As for the mouthpiece thing, here is a quote on the about page from the link he provided https://www.epi.org/about/ :

>The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank created in 1986 to include the needs of low- and middle-income workers in economic policy discussions. EPI believes every working person deserves a good job with fair pay, affordable health care, and retirement security. To achieve this goal, EPI conducts research and analysis on the economic status of working America. EPI proposes public policies that protect and improve the economic conditions of low- and middle-income workers and assesses policies with respect to how they affect those workers.

This is literally an organization dedicated to increase workers compensation. ie: a pro-union mouthpiece.

Not sure what you're trying to say here. Surely getting your own military personal involved is not entirely nothing? Also, launching missiles from NATO airspace does not have to be the next step.

Two things that sound to me like obvious next steps is sending NATO air defense with NATO personel into Ukraine to provide better cover from Russian missiles. And after that, a no-fly zone. Actual combat support is probably too much to ask.

So the problem is being able to drill down? Most decent IDEs allow you to collapse code blocks (i.e brackets) if that's what you want to do, and the comments accomplish the same thing a function name would. Some editors support region comments that start out collapsed and can be named. I don't see why separate functions would be anyones first instinct to reach for here.

The standard answer (at least for Google, not sure about Facebook) is that they're not considered data brokers because they only sell ad placement based on the data, not the data itself.
So you literally forgot what hotel you booked... and entered the wrong email... and they emailed you anyway about the no-show, with someone probably manually fixing the address to contact you... and you're still blaming the hotel for being hard to deal with?

When I was building my multiplayer Sudoku app, I had fun experimenting with how small I could pack a sudoku grid into a URL. I came up with a scheme combining bit packing with the knowledge of how the grid works. So as you move through the grid, based on the knowledge of what's been placed where and the remaining digits you have a fewer options.

Was fun, I was playing code golf with myself. Sadly seem to have lost the code and I didn't use it in the end.

It would probably have been possible to go smaller than I got it by combining it with a sudoku solver, so stop packing positions once it's solvable. But life moved on.
The only collusion is the default one: profit at all costs.

Everyone raises prices to increase profits, increasing inflation, that increases prices further...

I don't understand why people are so happy to blame governments and treat companies, in which profit is their raison d'être, as if they're only "reacting to the government".

Of course both are to blame, but let's stop pretending companies are victims while record profits are seen everywhere (adjusted to inflation). Many (if not most) are clearly taking advantage of this exact sentiment against the government to pocket even more profit. It's not me, it's the inflation!
> 99% of the time, you’ll get the same or better deal by booking online with the hotel directly.

This is often repeated but I almost never find it to be true in reality. Particularly for non chain hotels, best case scenario is their prices are the same as booking.com but if I go through booking I'll get points and future discounts. This tier is never cheaper booking directly. Chain hotels where I have a non base tier status will sometimes be cheaper but even then usually not.
Apple likes to shoot themselves in the foot by insisting on keeping things proprietary that don't need to be kept proprietary. This whole episode is one big unforced error on Apple's part.

TLDR: Article starts by mentioning a bunch of current/past applications of AI to science, many of which are in the medical field where (the article fails to mention) no AI system has ever been shown to improve the quality or length of human life in a randomized clinical trial. It takes a very long time to then mention just 2 things that could "revolutionize" science: LLM style systems could help you find collaborators or generate hypotheses, or "self-driving labs" could generate new hypotheses on their own, and run experiments with (presumably) minimal human intervention.

But it remains totally unclear whether those things are achievable, and to what extent they can actually do real, useful science, rather than just exist as a novelty. Of course AI "can" revolutionize science. But the proof is in the pudding. Write an article when something has happened, rather than predicting that it will (and being wrong, like every such article written for the past 70 years).

I don't follow Hossenfelder that closely, so I haven't seen any of her videos on economics. I have seen her walk back some of her misunderstanding around global warming, however.

Celebrating someone's achievements in a specific domain is not giving them carte blanche across the board. Personally, I think it more productive to celebrate someone's successes while lamenting their failures. If one thinks that mediocrity is the norm (which it is, by definition), then transcending it, even briefly, it something to celebrate and use as inspiration, even while acknowledging that all individuals have flaws (to some degree).
Weird, I don't remember writing paragraphs for any of those tests. I took almost all the AP tests available, tho that was a decade ago. At most I labeled some axes and that was enough for perfect scores
It's not as bad as you make it sound: if you write something like `e^t` where t has units of, say, time, then the right way to understand it is that it's actually `e^t (1/T)`, (1/T) is a conversion factor that is normally hidden. `ln e^t = t` then has a hidden `ln (1/T) = -ln T` factor which you can't do much with on its own, but you can carry it forward in equations and eventually if you exponentiate again, it will go back where it belongs. All of the units work out this way.

This can be useful because it allows for changing units after the fact. That `ln T` can become a `ln T(S/S) = ln T/S + ln S` if you want, and `ln T/S` can have a non-zero value that actually matters.
