Natural rubber is used extensively in higher-end applications (race cars, trucks, aircraft). However, almost all tires are some hybrid of the two. Generally, natural rubber is used in the construction of the tire "carcass" and sidewalls while synthetic rubber (compounded with a gazillion and one other things) is used to construct the tread.

The basic issues are pretty intuitive:

* The supply of natural rubber is constrained by the ability to grow the plants which produce it.

* It's hard to make synthetic rubber with polymer chains as long as those in natural rubber (isoprene), so natural rubber tends to be more pliable and stronger, while synthetic rubber (styrene) tends to sheer off into microparticles.

* However, natural rubber degrades more rapidly when heated and cooled, and is more difficult to control in order to achieve a desired level of stickiness at a given temperature (which is basically what tires are aiming for).

I think that OP's research would be quite interesting to learn about more, as my understanding is that tire manufacturers employ hundreds of chemists who are dedicated full-time to attempting to replicate natural rubber synthetically in an efficient way.
Strong agree, you can usually find some time when the application doesn’t have to be available. It’s so much easier to just shut the service layer down, take a snapshot, migrate, and bring the services back.

You needn’t think of databases as tables and data, you may think of them as trees of structs, ie an object relational model and show satisfiability of the model by constructing a tree of dependencies.

You can do it incrementally for parts of the model, but that doesn’t guarantee that long range dependencies are satisfiable.

Yes, you then need to show that it is incrementally constructible, which is a different can of worms… the tree view above isn’t actually fully correct because you duplicate entries mapping to the same object. Because of this duplication, the tree may refer to an object that can only be inserted later.

Oh and the encoding must be able to accommodate arbitrary length arrays and arbitrary objects … which makes usage of SMT solvers difficult to say the least.

While I agree that for the average company this isn’t useful, and the average engineer won’t shoot their feet on purpose, what I am doing needs to accommodate all those scenarios because I have no guarantees of sanity.
If I recall, it was fast food type joints in Netherlands and Germany. What blew my mind was that these places would employ someone to actually stand guard at the washrooms and collect payment. Wild behavior, in my opinion.
A fine heuristic if you have enough money to make the choice in the first place.

[1]Sam Vimes’s ‘Boots’ Theory of Socio-economic Unfairness, propounded in Men at Arms:

"But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

Exactly. Apple could have made this work across other platforms (Windows, Android, Linux), but chose not to. KDE Connect, for example, runs on quite a few platform, including all popular ones. https://kdeconnect.kde.org/download.html
The hotel plague definitely contributes to the problem. Take alone the Motel One Orleans x Rosenheimer Straße [1]. The 7000 m² would have been a lot of space that could have been used for a rental block, and to make it worse Motel One already has a hotel less than 10 min walking time on Orleansstraße. Or the FIVE HOTELS they built in the former Werksviertel [2]. Or yet another hotel in Hochstraße [3]. And that's just what has been going on over the last few years in my hood - I can reach any of these destinations in less than ten minutes with my bike - , not including what goes on near Central Station which already has the highest density of hotels in the entirety of Europe [4] and yet there are more projects under construction, often at the expense of housing and small businesses.

And all of this is only made possible by Oktoberfest and Bauma, because the extraordinary rates paid for during that time cross-finance the rest of the year.

I'm fucking fed up with hotels, I'm fed up with AirBnB, I'm fed up with tourists. Enough is enough.

There is a reason that FDR fully intended to fight a pacific war years before pearl harbor ever happened. Japan doesn't just attack Hawaii because they were deranged.
Dealing acoustically with something different from the surrounding material (calcium deposits) is a lot easier than focusing on tissues with roughly the acoustic properties of water among other tissues with the acoustic properties of water - in the former case the stuff can distinguish itself w.r.t. application of the waves, the latter requires focusing to come "from the outside."

I used to live right next to the Wiesn (on the place with the St. Paul’s church) and we‘d have strict orders to keep the gate to the buildings yard closed at all times during Octoberfest or the potted plants would die due to urea oversupply.

Yes that was the lesson you took from this, however I see a different more applicable lesson that nukes are actually more dangerous than we gave them credit for prior to the invasion.

Not only do they have the power to destroy the world many times over, but they also have a deterrence power which empowers nuclear powers to engage in wars of aggression without fearing the consequences.

In other words, there are two lessons here. The one you took from this, is that nations can use nukes to deter invasion, and that denuclearizing puts them at greater risks of being invaded. You denuclearizing as a mistake. My lesson is that the real mistake was to allow Russia to keep their nukes, and to keep nuclear armed nations. South Africa denuclearized just fine and hasn’t been invaded. If the world had denuclearized at the same time, Ukraine’s denuclearization would have yielded the same success.
Argh my mistake! I thiught we were able to get it in, but it turns out we fell back to just using the NVidia docker work. You can achieve this in other ways (using the experimental pluggable executors), but not in a container.
AFAIK, an app can’t influence notifications from other apps. At least on iOS. Less sure about Android. This is something that has to come from
the OS level.
Yeah. It’s a very limited product for pre-mapped freeways during traffic jams, so there is always someone in front of you anyway. Traffic jams are very unpleasant and relatively easy to automate so it seem like a good place to start.

However by assuming legal liability and going thru the L3 regulatory process this is really helping push the impact of the technology forward. Legal and regulatory issues will be huge barriers to greater adoption once the technical issues are finally solved.
Push notifications are the next regulatory target after cookies.

Sometimes I will be having a conversation with someone and then their phone will buzz or make some sound and the person's attention will shift entirely to the phone. I don't think people realize the effect these gadgets have on their cognition.

I have a phone but it is always on silent. I've decided that it is not acceptable to remotely hijack my attention. No notification on my phone sent by some corporation is ever urgent and basically never requires my immediate attention.
Agreed, in humankind's history
No, it couldn’t. This is all very dumb, it’s a fantasy product with no effective use targeting a population that didn’t ask or want it, done so that everyone can say it’s great which makes them feel like they are good people.
My question is what browser do we use?

On one hand you have chrome based which gives Google more control or you use Firefox.
But this is not an inherent property of cars. It is only true because we invested all our transit dollars in highways. Cars are not inherently better and roads are not free. If we invest more in public transit we can reduce our need for cars.
Pretty sure iOS could do that with focus mode and a schedule or an Automator shortcut
there is on iPhone, its a pause notifications for a specific app for x amount of time
That's a solid plan.

I'd add in another factor: gratification.

This isn't for all items, but splurging on certain things because it gives you an emotional boost shouldn't be discounted.

After all, we only get a precious few trips around the sun...
I, too, have been running my phone on DND as of late and it’s been pretty great. My wife disagrees :). I’m pretty sure iOS focus modes would allow me to configure notifications from my wife to come through while silencing the others but I’ll wait til she tells me :).
I don't agree with this from my own experience. To me, classical music at high compression suffers far worse than modern bands.

Actually it is. But in perverse way it isnt.

"AI" is currently being developed and commercialized in what is essentially an old-fashioned way, with a whiff of theft of intellectual property of the training material never too far.

Decentralized AI is a distinct destination but the technologies that might realize it need not have anything remotely related to blockchain (a solution that was conceived for a different - perceived - problem, the centralization of money creation)
Snapchat is like this, it's a communication app so you want the notifications on, but they flood it with marketing. And they refuse to use Android's notification "channels" to segment their notifications. Google should start enforcing that in their Play Store reviews.

All vehicles in NZ pay road user charges; EVs have just been exempt to encourage uptake. There are RUC weight classes but they only exist to separate light (<3500kg) and heavy (>=3500kg) vehicles rather than distinguish between a Nissan Leaf (1600kg) and a Ford Ranger (2100kg).

Maybe Apple should add a similar distinction between transactional and marketing notifications as we have with email.
As an iPhone user, I turn off notifications for mostly every app except for Reminders, Calendar, etc time-sensitive stuff. For specific third-party apps that may also require important push notifications (eg. Uber), I can just go into the app and turn off "marketing/promo" notifications or whatever.
The strongest solution to this is to use the web sites instead of the apps. I only have a few apps I really need: all the Google apps, Strava, Garmin Connect, micromobility apps for bike and scooter share, and that's it. Everything else is a website. And none of these apps are allowed to notify. The only notifications I ever get are Apple Pay and Messages. I don't even let the voicemail app (Google Fi) notify because what kind of jerk leaves a voicemail?

My previous comment was flagged, but I'm happy to restate.

The author doesn't understand what repudiate means, and therefore all the arguments are nonsensical.

To repudiate means, according to Cambridge dictionary "to refuse to accept something or someone as true, good, or reasonable"

So, when a transaction or email is repudiated, it means that someone is claiming that they didn't do it, despite the fact that it was done.

Non-repudiation is a characteristic of a system whereby a user of the system will find it difficult or "impossible" to repudiate that they did an action in that system.

So when the author claims in a title that "Non-repudiation of emails is undesirable" they are getting the words and meaning mixed up.

It is repudiation that is undesirable, and that's why non-repudiation is such an important characteristic of some types of system.
Vaccination can use deactivated viruses, but not always.
It's cool, but some apps (like food delivery apps) conflate all notifications into a single category, probably in an attemp to abuse the system.
That does not break the scheme at all? In fact it is counting on it. The point is to publish the private keys, which would match the public keys in your database.

The point is to forge emails, not domain keys.
> being forced to make drivers that work equally in linux, windows and even macOS

That is almost a recipe for drivers built on hardware abstraction layers (HALs), so vendors can use literally the same code on every platform. That, of course, results in a bunch of unnecessary HAL code being added -- unnecessary from the OS point of view, which already has perfectly good hooks for all the stuff a driver needs. That's the reason Linux does not accept HALs into the mainline kernel.

What often happens on Linux is vendors will then move their HAL and drivers into userspace, interfacing with the kernel via a shim instead. This has the side effect of no longer needing to open-source the driver code at all, since it's not linked into the kernel. Look how that works out!

In case of Android, it was literally Google that did the HAL/shim work, giving vendors a pass on open sourcing or mainlining their drivers.
It would most likely hurt the working class more than anyone else.

Far from it. In our own countries, the freedom fighting good guys always win. It was the baddies that lost.

> That sounds like a mantra posited by people trying to claim truth is subjective, and/or that a particular narrative (unsupported by evidence) is 'going on'.

I think truth is objective. But no one individual, or group of people, has truth - they just have an interpretation. I actually think this is fairly obvious too.

Feel free to give an example of an objective assessment of reality.
Cost/use really only works well for things where the results of use are broadly equivalent across price tiers. In the example given, expensive socks and cheap socks are basically the same when new (they'll keep your feet warm, padded, and wick away moisture), the only difference is how long that lasts.

For things like tools its often a bad metric unless you truly only need it once. In addition to durability; the ergonomics, cut quality, fidelity, trueness, etc will often be dramatically different across price ranges.

> it's a communication app so you want the notifications on

That doesn't follow, IMO. I have tons of communication platforms that aren't allowed to notify.
They do. They call them "time sensitive" notifications. You can use the "Focus" feature to delay less important types of notifications into a big batch at a specified time.

Cute and charming. Appreciate the work the mods and hiroshimoot do.

Oh and Jannies do it for free !
yup -- they continue to do amazing work and if i had more money i'd give it all to them for this effort. what a team of legends
this is the only way to use any modern software. the worst part is each app feels it's appropriate to nag you to turn on notifications

best part is how all of these uis say "not now" or "maybe later" type of phrases cuz some overpaid PM thinks it will increase usage
There are so many flawed analogies here it’s hard to know where to start. How will it make my everyday experience better as an Apple customer without the integration of software and hardware between my Mac, iPads Watch, Airpods and phone?

This is all fine, but the focus on deaths is sort of missing the larger societal problem. The COVID devastation is also about long COVID, and even people who had COVID but either recovered “fully” or never displayed symptoms. None of this is over, and we are so, so fucked.

edit: Which is to say: The Great Barrington Declaration was wrong directionally as well. We really needed to optimize to eliminate COVID as much as possible to have a hope of a return to normality. Death is not the only issue with COVID. Too fucking late now, but anyone who supported that is a quack and should have been stripped of their license.

Not an insignificant amount, the construction industry for example extracts quite a bit
If your API view is a direct mapping of an underlying table (e.g. "SELECT *"), and you make a breaking change to that table, the view will also change and your application will break.

What I've done instead is change the underlying table as needed, and ensure the view interface stays the same, by changing the view definition. This lets you refactor the low-level schema without breaking clients, and this migration can be done in a single transaction.

A mile to a store is a very comfortable distance. I've lived in such situation for a couple of years and just walked to the store a couple times a week, hauling back a couple of kilograms of groceries in my backpack every time.

on Android you can set an app as an accessibility service to read notifications and as an assistant to make actions.
This is two different things though.

Road use tax is intended to be used to pay for road maintenance and infrastructure. It's why if you live on a farm you can get tax-free diesel that is dyed red. You aren't using the road/infrastructure, so you shouldn't need to pay the tax.

If the goal is to reduce tire microplastics, the tax should be specifically based on tire lifespan, which is already well known. It's called UTQG.

Today we tend to conflate tax on pollution and tax on infrastructure though, since gas guzzler cars use much more gas (and cause more pollution, theoritically, all else equal) than the wear on the roads themselves. If this was truly about taxing externalities, it would be 3 taxes. Tax based on weight, tax based on efficiency, and tax based on tire tread life.
