... Hold on, making it _less desirable_ (and thus cheaper) to live in cities would be _gentrification_? How's that work?

(FWIW I don't agree that this does make it less desirable to live in cities; it will tend to reduce noise and improve the efficacy of the bus system, both of which make living in cities _more_, not less, desirable anyway.)

I wouldn't have thought most people living in central Amsterdam have parking, anyway? Generally people who actually live in cities are far less likely to have cars than those who live in suburbs (if it's a remotely dense city there simply wouldn't be _space_ for everyone to have a car...)

For what it's worth, I live in Dublin, in the city. Dublin brought in a 30kph limit on most roads around me in 2020; it really didn't change that much. The on-street residents' parking on my road is still generally mostly full. Things are a bit quieter, particularly at night. The bus system works somewhat better, though that one's multifactorial. The number of idiots driving far too fast down my road (it's narrow enough that 50kph was never remotely safe) has fallen off almost entirely, and when it happens now it's always non-Dublin-registered cars.

LLMs could be very useful for learning and probably are, but they also allow you to ask the wrong questions and circumvent the learning you were supposed to be doing.

Criticisms of Elon Musk are not solely based on ideological differences, but also on concerns regarding his behavior, management style, and the working conditions at his companies, which some believe warrant scrutiny irrespective of his personal beliefs. He just doesn't feel like a good person and isn't relatable. This is why I think people hate him.
It might be, however in most projects it no longer makes into the browser matrix for project delivery acceptance.
It’s an entertaining idea, however unfortunately easily proven wrong. The most striking argument against it (or any “Silurian” theory) is that any form of “civilization” in the strictest sense needs permanent settlements that require permanent agriculture, and hence fertilized soil. We should hence be able to find nitrogen rich layers of soil or sediment where prehistoric civilizations resided, but that’s just not the case.
Stop making this about Japan specifically. I very much believe that this question would be asked were Japan exchanged with the US in the title.

the Venus of Willendorf could indicate some of those things, but it equally could have just been made by one especially advanced human

A diagnosis is just a label someone else gives you. If you trust modern psychology, maybe it’s a useful label. In my context, however, it’s just as relevant as lone wolf.

My point being anything you label yourself or others is purely a function of your ego. The whole framework you describe above exists purely in your own mind. If I met you, I may walk away with a completely different idea about you, a function of my own ego.

If a diagnosis helps you, that’s fantastic. Making it part of your identity is a trap that will narrow your perspective of the universe.

The same reasons don't hold for me, because my country is friendly with USA and (currently) openly hostile to Russia. The same holds for most of the western world, so likely most of the HN readers. Nothing irrational in avoiding software controlled by your (country's) enemy.

There is also the emotional aspect that you dismiss. Using somebody's products, and especially paying for them, can be constructed as helping the company and thus indirectly helping the company's country. Not everyone wants to support the country they see as an aggressor. That's not contradictory too - many people in western countries are OK with helping the US, but very uneasy with helping Russia (reasons for this are a different topic).
They are also pretty good in teaching you human languages. There is a saying that the best way to learn a new language is to fall in love with someone who speaks it. ChatGPT speaks them all. Start with "Show me some simple phrases in Chinese and in English..."

Very few companies actively measure the negative impact of their actions. This happens in physical stores as well, run a promotion pushing some product or brand and only measure if that increases sale. It's not easy, actually it's borderline impossible to measure how many you're unintentionally turning way do to your business practices.
I don't really care and thought about a specific metric.

If you have experience in the video game industry, then I think you get my point but I also enjoy arguing about metrics.

In this case the "actor" was referring as a role in the industry so more about an aggregation of metrics I guess.
So, the French has helped built the lab by licensing the tech but without any control over what is researching or how the biosecurity was handled.
The US helped funded the lab, again without any control over what is researching.
Turned out the biosecurity at the lab was quite sloppy, with animals from the lab were sold (secretly) on the nearby market by lab personals.
And it was also confirmed that the Wuhan lab has done function gains research on corona- and related virus.

It's not understandable why the French vehemently denied the possibility of a lab-leak even in the early stage of the pandemic, even though the French government has no access whatsoever on the lab's documents/logs?

Is it really a surprise that the US also backed a "no-lab leak" narrative in this context, and that anyone, even the most eminent scientists, who expressed any doubts on the official narrative, were snubbed and spit on?

That's quite correct, of course. Still, you can write puhekieli (as most of us do daily in informal textual communication such as IMs) and it's still very close to phonetic, although there are individual differences in how "spoken" and dialectical their written puhekieli is. Some common puhekieli traits like the widening of the diphtongs "uo" and "yö" to /ua/ and /yä/ are more rarely reflected in informal writing unless one wants to specifically underline or exaggerate the pronunciation (eg. for comedic effect, or in written fiction featuring persons speaking a dialect).

Wouldn't it be relatively trivial for someone to compile, compare checksums and call them out?

It's more likely they'd introduce a security flaw that is hard to detect in the OSS code. If someone finds, they'd just claim it was a security incident which is now fixed (and then they'd move to another masked flaw).

Point 2 is nitpicking. Obviously every trip is different, but a reduction from 30 to 20 mph does not have nearly as big a difference on travel times as your proposal to reduce all the way to 10 or 5 would have.

Everything is a compromise. 30 mph was a bad compromise because it's a deadly speed that will kill people in a collision. 20 mph is significantly safer. Reducing further to 10 mph or even 5 mph would not have a significant further effect on safety in normal traffic conditions, but would have a significant impact on travel times if people have to drive at that speed for a significant part of their trip.

I think it's your complaints that are 100% subjective. There is evidence for these policies. Politicians rarely go into that evidence for public announcements because most people aren't that interested in the evidence, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You're suggesting that politicians randomly pick some numbers out of the air just to upset people, but the opposite is true; you generally need an excessive amount of evidence to get politicians to do anything at all, especially when it even slightly inconvenience the oil and car lobby. I mean, look at the lack of action to mitigate climate change despite the excessive amounts of evidence.

In all seriousness, America does not pull their weapon to prevent bad things from happening (or at least, not primarily).

The US primarily works through Nato and the UN to intervene in their 'world police' role, but they are happy to start other conflicts without the support of Nato and the UN (see Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, ~~Korea~~).

If the US were really the 'world police', then where were they in Rwanda, in Sudan, in North Korea, in Sri Lanka, in Nigeria, in Myanmar, in DRC, in Ethopia, what are they doing for the Uyghurs, the Rohingyas...

EDIT: see correction from OfSanguineFire, I was wrong about Korea, which was indeed a UN-led intervention.
Yup. Another data point from someone driving in Wales at the moment :

- People seem fixated on their speedometers rather than the road, which isn't great for safety.

- I'm spending way more time in third gear when I would have previously been in fourth, meaning the engine is revving higher, thus consuming more fuel, thus releasing more emissions.

- The rollout has been utterly chaotic. They first released an interactive map, which bore little resemblance to the changes to the speed signs on launch day, and councils are still tweaking the opt-out status of individual roads.

Personally, I think safety goals could have been met by building way more zebra crossings. In my experience, motorists do slow and stop for them, and they would have a natural traffic calming effect at the times when pedestrians need them the most.
However, that wouldn't help with bullet point #2 on the Welsh Government website, which is to encourage more people to walk and cycle. Much of Wales is rural, and for those people a car is a necessity rather than a luxury. When I lived in London, many buses were every three minutes. Where I live at the moment, it's two a day on many routes. Regardless, if cycling and walking is the true agenda then they should have had the guts to be open about it. Instead, they hide it behind think-of-the-children, which mainly has big support from people who drive SUVs for the school run. Despite the fact their vehicles are much heavier, ride higher, and have an angular front that would be much worse for anyone (especially children) that they might collide with.

I do think exact cloning may be what a lot of folk would choose for. If you are single and plan to remain so then having a clone of yourself, perhaps a somewhat prettier/sportier/smarter one is what people will elect.

Overall, I think society is moving towards increased atomization of family units, which may go down all the way to the individual. Ultimately, we can unbundle (1) sexual intimacy (2) friendship (3) procreation. And I think in this world procreation will likely be artificial womb with a clone of self + a few improvements.

> development […]

Honestly I suspect artificial womb to be the harder problem than genetic manipulation/cloning. As full genome sequencing becomes cheap you can fully sequence every candidate embryo and ensure it’s clean. We don’t need high yield of quality embryos if we can filter out all the genetically bad ones with essentially 100% accuracy.
Around the time smartphone and widespread data coverage made it feasible. It, and other services like it, offered a clearly superior experience to SMS/MMS, and RCS arrived way, way too late. As for why a particular service succeeded in a particular market, I imagine it all comes down to marketing, luck, and network effects. WhatsApp is probably not my ideal service (mostly because it uses somewhat device-tied accounts) but it's what 90% of people use

Almost all phone calls I receive are "actual" phone calls though. And SMS still gets plenty of use as the lowest common denominator for new recipients, but in practice over 95% of my received SMS are from computers now

There is
https://github.com/Photonios/pgcow that supports ZFS.

BTRFS is not that scary. Quota and RAID56 is broken but other features have been stable quite some time. Btrfs is used by default for few Linux distros and Facebook makes quite heavy use of it on their servers https://lwn.net/Articles/824855/

I have been running btrfs on all of my machines since 2016 as transparrent file compression helps a lot with keeping disk usage down.

Btrfs RAID1 even saved my data once when one of the SSD's decided to die suddenly.

For maximum performance you should run databases on top of XFS anyway. It also supports per-file COW via reflinks.
Framerate is one thing, but you should consider typing latency. At 5fps, you get an average of 200ms of extra latency from the display alone, on top of everything else (keyboard, OS, application, GPU, etc).

a Nue "count = 0;" isn't the same as a ES6 "count = 0;". It needs compilation. I think trying to convince developers of the opposite won't help much grow a community.

I find it disappointing that Michael Lewis seems to downplay the harm caused by FTX:

"Jon Wertheim: I can see people watching this saying, like, 'Come on guys. This is like Elizabeth Holmes in cargo shorts. And this is all a ruse. Don't fall for the shtick. This is a bad actor.'

"Michael Lewis: It's a little different supplying, you know, phony medical information to people that might kill them. And in this case, what you're doing is possibly losing some money that belonged to crypto speculators in the Bahamas. On the other hand, this is not to excuse. He shouldn't have done that."

Ordinary people around the world lost their savings on FTX!

The company was actively targeting retail customers with high-profile promotion like Super Bowl ads featuring a well-known actor. The customers who suffered losses were not just "crypto speculators in the Bahamas."
> OP said they are Greek, they didn't say they lived in Greece.

I said that OP experienced a government's disastrous term first-hand, not that he lived in Greece. Plenty of emigrants experience their home's political decisions first-hand even if their fiscal address is in any other country. I'm sure you already stumbled upon protests against government's organized by expats living abroad.

The other day I was reading an article here about how one big problem with desalination plants is that they produce raw salt that increases the salinity of water near them. The consensus was "oh well the ocean is big", but if you put these things around where you're dumping the salt, at least you could get a little bit of the energy that you spent removing the salt back. So desalination becomes more efficient.
