> Elevated rails

Oh. Oh no.

No, I'm not ready for this.

The restrictions on rail placement keep train layouts sane. There has to be a demarcation point between your rail and belt network. Now I can just fly in a train over top of my factory and drop materials everywhere. Now I can overlay two distinct rail networks in the same space.

I already have 1800 hours in Factorio. What more do the devs want from me?! My body can't take any more abuse!

I don't think I've ever been as excited about a game update as this new Factorio. I can't wait to make unholy train abominations floating atop my normal belt abominations
The hallucinations are now lethal!
The not nice bit, I can definitely relate. It would be awful to get this diverted from what was expected to be a love-in. But, this is why c suite execs are paid the big bucks, and there are questions which I think all of us would love to see put and hear answered.

Since its gone mostly private, the whole "shareholders deserve to know" thing and "that's a market moving question" risk has gone. Now, it's just gossip.

> I think full remote with maybe quarterly meetups is the best.

I started working full remote in 2018, and I found quarterly meetups work well. 3 days to 1 week on-site per quarter. I pack the week with in-person meetings/lunches/dinners with my customers, coworkers and management to get facetime.
I played one map for 700 hours over the span of a full year.

Fair point. But it’s not my job to disprove uncited political information from a musician on their personal blog. It’s their job to prove it. Ignoring their musings is simply the best approach.

We have one of those Rad bikes, and we paid to have it assembled so it was done right. They don't have the best brakes. So we have it maintained regularly. They do work when maintained. Any kind of bike needs some maintenance from time to time.

We are quite happy with the bike though. It has replaced a bunch of car trips for us, and among other things, I do most of the shopping for our family of four with it.

I am pretty comfortable getting around with a regular bike. I'm a fit cyclist. But the eBike is a step up:

* I can sit a person on the back of it. Even my wife if we're not going far (she's petite).

* I can carry quite a bit of groceries with it and not break a sweat.

* If it is hot outside, I use more pedal assist and get a pleasant cooling effect. In summer I'd much rather hop on my eBike than get in the hot car, as the eBike provides an instant breeze, whereas the car's AC takes some time.

* If it is cold outside, I can layer up a lot more on the eBike. If I start to warm up and feel like I might sweat some, I can use more pedal assist.

* I can cruise up hills, even on the hottest days, without showing up sweaty.

* It is, of course, faster than a regular bike. I like riding bikes and enjoy spending time on them, but sometimes you have to get somewhere quickly.

As others are saying, outside of a few issues with DIY bike assembly, the main issue with eBike safety is automobiles and especially the huge, heavy, high ones that have proliferated in the US in recent years.

We know how to do safer bike infrastructure. There are great examples in other countries that have pioneered it. Whether we want to make it safer or not is a policy choice.
I imagine this can only possibly work with unencrypted WiFi.

Still boggles my mind that WiFi clients don't establish an encryption key with the AP and encrypted their traffic even without a shared secret. Yes, that means you can't authenticate the AP, but it would still protect against passive snooping.
IVPN, Perfect Privacy, Mullvad all use blind tokens as well I believe.

There's also another company/product that has Port in the name I think, PortMonitor or... it's on the tip of my tongue. Anyway they have a paid version of the product that is essentially a series of servers (their own and user-donated servers) that tries to re-create the onion routing protocol, but with VPNs and blind tokens.

Wow, how are you posting on here if you don't have access to internet? Surely if you had internet you'd see one of the hundreds of videos in and around NYC of flooded streets.
This is really what's going on.

Many managers (at least the good ones) try to shield their folks from the uglier nuts and bolts of upper management. They would far rather focus on results rather than pressuring their folks to meet some arbitrary (and likely not even mathmatically correlated) goals around butts in seats.

Is Amazon in trouble? Are they really this willing to tighten the reins on their workforce for...what? Numbers that technically show people are showing up?

The ugly truth is that Amazon is probably just looking for ammunition to fire folks en masses without it being seen as a mass layoff.
The 4800bps was directly attached to a computer, no modem. If both were set to 9600, the terminal would miss characters. But most dumb terminals were fast enough to keep up at 9600.

I'm afraid you only take into account private use.

On-endpoint filtering is not enough on a large scale. In a network with expected high level of security I don't trust the endpoint and censoring them is a feature, there is no moral or legal expectation of privacy, but data integrity would be nice.
It's not just the speed. The bike is heavier, and it had two people on it, making the braking distance a lot longer. And most untrained riders are afraid of using the front brake because they're afraid of flipping the bike, but on a decline the rear brakes are much less effective.
I see your point, but on my network I want that ability.

I want to have my tv connect to YouTube, but not phone Sony/Samsung/whoever.

Oh I’m aware different subreddits have different cultures, but doxxing and mob behavior emerge from any large enough online anonymous crowd. Humans at scale are petty and vindictive. HN even has to have rules about it because it’s been a problem here even when the site was much smaller.

Any particular subreddit will have a specific ideological soft spot that a dedicated marketer will be able to identify and craft turf to exploit. It’s a fundamental flaw to anonymity.

As a counterpoint, I can't imagine a better form of transportation for the area in which I live. It's hilly enough that I really don't want to try and haul my kids (5 and 11, both quite tall) around on a non-motorized bike, but our cargo bike gets us most of the places we want to go faster than a car or bus would. And I get exercise in the process. It's the most delightful form of transportation I've experienced.
Where can I find the math for this?
This has to be the biggest thing in Factorio since sliced bread. Can't wait for all the 3d spaghetti!
If they do what sort of thing? Monitor stuff?

It all depends on the nature of the consultancy agreement. If you work for the financial industry as a consultant you can expect to allow monitoring.

I don't know of a single place that makes the law clear, but if you dig in a bit, you can find a lot of resources that describe the legal differences between contractors and employees. One thing that's evident in nearly anything you can find is that contractors basically have no protections.

The IRS doesn't care in the slightest if an employer monitors a contractor.

Something I noticed in that document (unrelated to the topic of the RFC) was an alternative way of listing hex values as decimal numbers separated by "/". I really like that (I always struggle with converting A to F in my head). I guess it didn't catch on.

You are spot on with this; you don't need distributed systems and cryptography to run a fraudulent bank! Indeed, much of the 'trust' that comes with traditional financial institutions comes not from an inherent advantage in competence compared to cryptocurrency developers, but the fact that most national governments will bail out bank failures and reimburse vast sums of their citizens' losses.

If cryptocurrency-based financial instruments were regulated and protected to the same degree as traditional companies - but with the relevent technical competence to match! - I'm sure 'pay with ETH' and the like would be as common as PayPal and VISA.
I had 2.5 ft (0.762 meters) of water in my basement this morning :( (Clinton Hill/ Bed-Stuy Brooklyn)

Sadly I never even saw the CM-2 I used. Just got in via telnet.
Probably whatever sounds most interesting, honestly. They all have a pretty high ceiling and they are all challenging to some degree.
Right, I worded that poorly. The point is that Tesla cannot remotely change the metal in your car, whereas they can with the software.

We as users should demand insight into the software running on hardware we own. Otherwise we only partially own it, and if the device is connected to the internet, we can lose ownership any time.
yeah I mean the 15 pro max 1TB costs as much as a laptop so.. it should slot in with a keyboard and mouse.
That's even more true for oil and coal, but doesn't necessarily make them great choices.

Plus "concentrate" doesn't quite capture how there are inefficiencies in conversion: A lot of that sunlight gets wasted. A concentration of a portion of a portion.
For clarification:

The rat-race is tiring. I have given up on it even before starting. The hardest thing in life is giving up. It took a long self talk to reach an agreement where I am truly an average in what I do.

There are so many people out there, who can do marvelous things. Meanwhile I am just an average dude trying to make a comfortable life.

I want to minimize my effort and maximize the reward. This is the motivation of asking this question. Not everyone can be good at things, there are so many factors.

I sometimes think I should have studied medicine because an average doctor has it better than an average engineer. It was foolish of me to follow a dream that was never supposed to be made for me.
Both of these things can be true at the same time:

Climate change can increase the likelihood of events like this (warmer sea water roughly translates to more energy available for tropical storms, if I understand it right), but for any individual storm, it's impossible to say whether it would have happened anyway without climate change, and it can make sense to be prepared.

Climate change is real, but climate change awareness alone is not a reasonable protection strategy for a city by the sea.
Wow, I'm surprised that Keith Bontrager is quoted saying that quick release axles and disc brakes are not a design flaw.

This is absolutely known as a design flaw! Downhill mountain bikers have known for decades (since say the 2000s?) that combination of brakes and wheels is problematic, and it's known as an immediate red flag that a mountain bike is poorly specced and designed. It is done solely because quick release axles are slightly cheaper. Front disc brakes require a thru-axle design on the front wheel!

I also didn't see in the article, if the Rad bike had cable or hydraulic disc brakes. In my opinion, despite being very common, cable disc brakes are under-powered and unreliable for a heavy consumer e-bike. They are powerful but easily lose their adjustment (I have cable disc brakes on one of my own bikes).

I'm pleased to see someone taking these cheap, bad e-bike designs to court.
With your setup (which I assume has one GPU) can the GPU be utilized by more than one user simultaneously?

> Does it say "no motorized vehicles"? That does not include ebikes in my area (Southern US).

Yeah, exactly. I think that varies area to area. In my area the county manages the trails, and they've made statements saying that those "onewheel" motorized boards aren't allowed, because they're motor vehicles. I assumed that also applied to ebikes, but you may be right.
That gif of the lake train is beatiful. I want to make a tour route in the new expansion.
I wonder if this could be used for crime scene investigation. Photos/video from the location could be made into a virtual scene for later inspection from any angle. Would a witness have been able to see a certain spot from some location for example.

The technique is interesting because it would work with any old set of photographs as long as you have enough of them. This technology makes it a lot more fast and practical to do than any previous methods it seems.
What do you know about the history from before you were born? Punchcards? Vacuum tubes?
I absolutely DO know that for sure. I personally tried to build more housing, by actually buying land and building housing. I ended up not being able to because of single family zoning.

Just say you personally want to go out and solve the housing problem, what is stopping you? Like you can just go buy some houses, tear them down, and build more densely. You will definitely make money. That was my thinking and I was prepared to put my money down to make it happen. I was stopped at the planning stage by zoning.

I was under contract to buy land and started the planning for building. I had an idea of how many buildings I wanted to construct, where they would be laid out and was starting to get permits. So I went to the city to start getting approved for permits, I was told by the employee at the city planning department that that was not going to be possible and that the maximum number of homes that could be built on this lot was exactly ONE. Even though the lot could have easily held 5 single family homes, it was zoned for one house.. Meaning that the planning department would automatically decline my permit application based only on the fact that that land had been designated for one house instead of five. That's what "single family" means here. It had nothing to do with the quality of the buildings or their layout.

So I thought that was ridiculous and asked how I could get around that, I was told that I would have to go to the city zoning commission and either get the lot rezoned or get a variance (special lingo for an exception). She laughed at me and said that that was very unlikely to happen.

I went to the zoning commission meeting that was held monthly. Can you guess who runs that commission? Homeowners from the area! Guess what they did not want me to do. Build more housing! Those people do not want to see the character of their town change, they don't want to see anything change. The people in charge of determining what gets built in cities are the people with a vested interest in keeping supply low to maintain their investments. And the thing is that when these zoning laws were set up the cities all basically just copy/pasted from one another, so they all have the same system with only small differences.

Needless to say, I backed out of escrow, did not go through with buying the land, and learned a very valuable lesson about how housing works in the US.

This is a separate issue from building codes. The building standards in the US are determined by codes which have nothing to do with zoning and can be as stringent as one likes.

Take a look at the city of Cupertino zoning map: https://www.cupertino.org/our-city/departments/community-dev...

You will be amazed at how much of the city is single family zoned. Meaning that it is required to be super low density and that even if a developer bought all the houses in a neighborhood they would not be allowed to build any more densely than what is already there.
I've worked with IRL trains .. this just blows right past peak fantasy dreamworld alternative physics for me.

Yes, it's a game, yes there are many things that are real world simplifications, all that I can live with.

Trains going up short one story high ramps with no slippage or rack railway hurts my brain - laden freight trains even more so.

This kind of thinking is how we arrive at a low-trust society. We could all be individuals indulging our inner-asshole, but it would quickly lead to the enshittification of what remains of communal life.

The 'Recommendation' quote just sounds typical of the edgy posturing we've seen Musk fall into. Once the pithy zing fades, we have an idea scales poorly.

There are a lot of dumb laws, but they are typically there to protect us and our fellow citizens from human beings (you and me) doing dumb shit. They are hardly recommendations. If anything, laws are the network protocol of society that allows us a semblance of reliability and stability in our operating environment.
It's a fair point you raise - my issue is the immediate blame of damn near everything on climate change. If everything is climate change, then nothing is climate change... it's tired and overused.

There's no way the government of NYC conducted a study and learned this particular storm was caused by climate change in real time while it's still happening. Yet... here's the blame parade already.

Climate change activists need to understand this pseudo-religious fever harms their position.
> the main issue with eBike safety is automobiles.

If you're a fit cyclist, riding on decent surfaces, respect the safety speed limit and don't have to ride around pedestrians staring at phone with headphones randomly walking into your path.

Even in countries with good biking infrastructure ebike accident rate is comparable to motorcycles - because for the most part they are shitty motorcycles (brakes, tires, forks/frame) with the safety advantage of being limited to very low speed (which many people circumvent).

Strapping a child seat to a motorcycle would get me arrested/child taken by social services - bit strapping one on a ebike makes me hip.
Currently, bishops are generally expected to submit their resignation to the pope upon turning 75 years old, although the pope may elect to retain the bishop.

This may be a bit of hyperbole, but it’s true that traffic engineering is obviously lacking especially at the local level. There is so much inefficiency in traffic flow that results in excess CO2 and pollution not to mention lost time to the economy. I wish someone would put together a simulation and analysis that would demonstrate this to local governments.
IANAL: not in the same way that the US does. From my understanding, certain failures to speak CAN be used against you in court.
I'm Switzerland there are different categories of ebikes. Bikes under 20km/h (25km/h pedal assisted) 500w max do not require anything other than you must be over 14.

Ebikes that go faster (30 km/h or 45km/h pedal assisted max) 1000w max require a min. age of 16 and a special M license or vehicle license. Additionally you are required to get a plate for the Ebike and you must wear a helmet.

All ebikes require day time running lights and fast ebikes will also require a tachometer in 2024.

We do have issues with a new type of rollers that have replaced the old mopets. Those you can drive without any licenses or helmet if you are older than 16. This will probably change however even though they don't go over 20km/h they can still be dangerous.
In this case though, as far as I can tell it really was mostly a lot of rain at once, i.e. too much for sewers to drain to the sea to prevent flooding. I don't think a sea wall could improve this; only better storm drains could.

I think this was different for Hurricane Sandy, where a storm tide was actually pushing in water from the sea/rivers, which is the scenario where a sea wall would help.

And I suppose often it's a bit of both – storm drains stop working once the sea level is too high.
If they wanted to accept crypto, would there be anything stopping them from using Monero at least, instead? I wonder why they would ignore the major actually anonymous token.
