Have you ever been there? The land in that area is rock with about an inch of soil on it, like most moorland - it would not support a forest, it never did(within the last couple thousand years anyway) . Romans didn't build the hadrians wall through a forest after all, the area was already barren then.

And no one is directing me to feel angry - the tree did hold a special place in my heart, I've been to it with my dad shortly before he died, I've been there with my wife(then fiance), with my friends and family, it always felt like a pilgrimage to anyone living in the North East - and the fact that it was destroyed for literally no reason whatsoever makes my blood boil.
The ACTUAL answer is that it separates out business from residential service - and pricing.

When I first got cable decades ago, it was symmetrical by default.

But they figured out business customers need symmetrical and are price insensitive, while residential customers really just need consumption and are very price sensitive.

The idea is that they can charge businesses more, and individuals less and get away with it.

This is just like airfares, where business customers travel during the week and want to be home for the weekend, and individuals will stay the weekend and are price sensitive.
Lit-html is so fast and cheap, batched rendering isn't really useful.

I will sometimes do a little trickery in my setters to prevent pointless server round-trips though.

The general rule of thumb with lit-html is "meh, just render. It's just a template clone, and pretty much free".

There's no need to miss css selectors, they work just fine. That's the advantage of avoiding shadow dom.
A thousand years ago (and with about a fortieth the population) England had similar forest cover to what it is now. If anything, modern industrial civilization is what enabled the reforestation of the UK.
There's the counter-issue of trying to search for some specific character, and instead matching the generic one. For example, searching "ā" on chrome or firefox finds all "a"s, which is extremely annoying if there's one "ā" on a page you want to find, and thousands of "a"s everywhere.

For dashes, if done right, it could be useful to be able to search the separate ones too - i.e. search for flag dashes but not ones in prose.
I can't guarantee 100%, but I have a lot of experience doing these sort of translations (I built explainjargon.com and had people use it for work settings). I also go over the tweets myself daily just to make sure things aren't terribly wrong & I trust people will point out when it is :)
To get even more meta, isn't it quite incredible that 17y later not only does the blog still exist, but we have the author and a key subject (or person behind subject) in the same comment section?

Any argument I provide for Russia not on the being on the council I will also happily accept for any other country including the US. Russia is simply the latest most egregiously blatant violator. So that is a good question, why do we have a security council? Seems to be a hold-over from the cold war. Why not give every country an equal vote?

From the specs page: "...LITE BEAM is a 7.5kW HEL interceptor for C-mUAVs and ground targets such as IEDs and UXOs, neutralizing targets from a distance of a few hundred meters to up to 2000 meters. The first proven prototype of LITE BEAM is already available..."

If confirmed, it is notable for being the first Laser system deployed in combat anywhere.
It really does and now it makes sense. Thank you for the clarification.
I agree. Though the “spreadsheet table in a document” use case was always the first demo, and is still a common use case. It was probably also the only real use case with any staying power.

I have never been there and it makes me pretty angry as well. The coward(s) that did this probably never suspected the kind of blowback this would create, if they're ever identified they'll have a hard time moving around the UK without meeting people that would like to have a word with them.
If the choice is between one of those "bad" countries (e.g., UAE) or a terrorist group (e.g., Isis) which one would you choose?
I don't know anything about poetry but I do know you have to put some effort into a prompt and iterate to get anything useful out.

Here are some interesting results from literally feeding this article and prompting chatgpt to improve the poem and take into account her critique. They seem at least to my eyes a little better.

===========================================================

Upon these shores, where time seems still,
PIBO stands, guided by a passioned will.
With hands ungloved, their touch sincere,
They embrace nature, drawing it near.

Loving straightforwardly, without pretense or guise,
In every bird's song, a part of them lies.
In this dance, where boundaries fade and intertwine,
Your journey, dear bird, feels much like mine.

In the quiet of Pelee, where heartbeats merge with the sea's hum,
There lies a tale of dedication, of hands and feathers becoming one.

===========================================================

Upon Pelee's shores, where the migratory journey starts,
PIBO stands undeterred, with gentle, gloveless hands and hearts.
No insect repellant, for it might be toxic, they bear,
Yet with every sting and bite, their dedication's rare.

Warblers greet the dawn, singing their age-old song,
Yet amidst them, mosquitoes and chiggers throng.
With delicate touch, they band, note, and release,
Suffering in silence, so our joy in birdsong doesn't cease.

In the hum of nature and the dance of skies so grand,
Echoes the profound mission, of PIBO's ever-watchful band.

what is planned to be deployed in israel is iron beam which is 100kw https://www.rafael.co.il/worlds/land/iron-beam/

iirc it was planned to begin deployment later this year or sometimes next year with full "production" capabilities in 2025.

there were some news on israeli sites in last few days that they want to put to field whatever they have now, as every bit can help. also real life testing.

I am not bothered by that at all. There’s plenty of roles I play during the course of a day — an x at work, a parent at school, and a $condition patient at the doctor’s office.

None of that implies that I am not seen as a full person. It’s simply a shortcut that specifies a situation, and not a judgement on my identity.

Especially with physicians I actually appreciate to be called by my condition. Doctors need to switch context with every patient that it’s surely beneficial if they can quickly focus their mind on what they should treat in me.

Credit card payment systems were incredible. They are no longer novel, nor compelling, with inexpensive competing systems available. You can extend credit instantly to someone with a deposit account like you would with a credit card (with the "overdraft" being the issued credit, lots of ways to skin the UX around this). You can also offer purchase insurance on a per purchase basis, while still enabling immediate settlement. Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) is an example of extending credit immediately without needing value to ride CC rails. I am in no way saying that there is no use case for credit card rails whatsoever, but that the economy, businesses, and consumers need not rely on them exclusively. There are cheaper options available now, speaking from a speed perspective.

You are being way too generous with this interpretation.

Paul Graham is not dumb and he knows what a loaded term communism is.

On top of that, you’re taking his comment and interpreting it in the most superficial way without even attempting to think about his choice of words or why he’s so against the idea in general.
Every single driver at the airport repeatedly cancels over and over if the fare is less than 100$ - clearly there is no tracking going on of anything at Uber.

Recently I had one driver claim he picked me up then ended the ride immediately, claimed the full fare and it was a massive shitfight to prove to Uber that it was fraudulent.
Your cc bill says that. The shop knows individual items you purchased and they know how you paid. Someone is buying that data.

But those metrics are hard to move, so you target secondary metrics.

The problem with that strategy becomes obvious when you spell out the consequences: measurably improving the product is hard, so you measure something else and hope you get product improvements.
The whole Firewall and rate limiting of CF is amazing and I like where they're going with the workers and Pages. I've also got a lot out our their free plan for many years but now we're on enterprise it feels a bit extortionate.

Not all anonymous behavior is antisocial. Take, for example, people who sheltered Jews during WWII. I suppose by some definition this is antisocial if you define "antisocial" as bucking local society. But by that definition democracy always leads to antisocial outcomes.

This quote from George Bernard Shaw highlights the value of some "antisocial" behavior and seems like a rather democratic ideal:

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

Some people can be publicly unreasonable. We have unpleasant names and consequences for such people, as you demonstrate. Other people can be privately unreasonable.

If all progress depends on the unreasonable man, isn't there value in facilitating cowards to be unreasonable? Obviously a great deal of damage is also done by unreasonable people. But I suspect that the balance of a few heros outweighs the many villains and it is better to err on the side of individual privacy.

I just wonder why I promote individual privacy while discouraging government privacy. What arguments can be made for or against that seeming contradiction?
That was never the choice. The Federal government started imposing a fuel excise tax in 1932 and has increased it several times. Obviously that was politically possible because it actually happened. States also impose their own excise taxes.

I’ve had enough deliveries where the person making the drop off isn’t the person on the app (wrong gender often) to think there’s a pretty heavy trade or even loaning of accounts enough so that these guys may have had a large stable of courier accounts to work from.

I’d not be surprised to find a healthy gray market of people “renting” their courier account out.

Anecdotally, and perhaps unfairly, in my head I have attributed this to be couriers who may have trouble finding legal work due to residency issues. I have not had a problem with it.
No need for AI, simply clean it up and cut and paste him into a movie like they did when they spliced in some B&W footage of Humphrey Bogart in the movie Last Action Hero. The line was something like the Desk Sargent telling someone to take the “black and white”, and there was Bogey.
Interestingly I feel like the most militant people i know re: Covid policy are the more narcissistic. “Everyone must do X so that I can feel safe.” I’m not saying this refutes the evidence, just my data point.
I'm not sure it is dramatically different from people in London imposing railroads on the English countryside.

It's colonialism all the way down and the apparent ironic fact that British still cannot get out of other nations' hair while they now peddle the colonialism narratives.

They cannot keep away from be interminged in countries' affairs while lecturing the "natives" about the colonialism, whose narratives also come from London and are as unnatural in their new habitat as these tea plantations in India were.

We will see some real colonialism understanding when the UK disengages from world affairs and behaves like an ordinary 50 million strong country like Argentine or Vietnam. That did not happen yet, so you can stop feeling bad because of India 200 years ago and get a contemporary reality (and privilege) check.

Case of point, The Guardian has all kinds of Opinions about Russia and Palestine. Why don't they take most interest of the affairs of N1 9GU?
> The problem is search functions.

No, that's not it; there are some further issues mentioned in the thread and the linked bug reports, like man pages containing command line options that can't be copy/pasted into a terminal (because they consist of Unicode hyphens).
I've spend the past 7 years living in about 25 or so countries around the world and one thing that really surprised is how far most of the world is behind the US in terms of business digitalization at a process level. You don't necessarily notice it at first as a visitor because these companies all have websites and apps and whatnot, many of which are nicer than their US counterparts, but these are often just a superficial gloss and fundamentally there's a lot more companies either literally paper driven or who have created a digital copy of the same paper process they've been using for decades and called it a day without really changing anything at all.

Japan in particular stood out because I'd always thought of it as the ultra futuristic land of robots, but a lot of simple tasks I'd expect to do on an app or website involve sending a fax or an in-person visit.

This type of approach doesn't add much value to the business. They still employee the same people doing the same work to accomplish the same result in the same amount of time, but now they need to pay a programmer as well.

Again, we had this problem in the US in the 90s, people would make jokes about how tech had promised a "paperless office" but they had more paper than ever--but that was only because the old dudes working back then insisted on printing every damn thing they received digitally! So much work at that time used to go into making printer friendly versions of every piece of information, experience with Crystal Reports was always an important box to tick on any job application.

I do wonder how willing EU countries would be to do this though, with an older population and a lot more sensitivity to preserving jobs at any cost.

I think the people are less important to know about than the concepts or ideas they've promoted that may have stood the test of time.

> The land in that area is rock with about an inch of soil on it

Because people abusing of wildfires and a spiral of overgrazing = more wildfires required, that is apparently a behavior as infectious as it was yesterday.

Lack of soil is not an unsolvable problem. Soil can be moved from A to B so we can trow technology at this (and a lot of big shrubs can deal with poor soil, leading the way to bigger trees). The problem is the lack of will, and the never ending presence of criminal activity. If there is cattle in the area, there is a dictatorship of cattle.

I suspect that whatever meetups are rather a social byproduct of whatever people concentrated in a place where US-specific culture of networking reigns.

I was an idealist at the time and was very much on board with SOM (system object model by IBM COM was Microsoft model). The people who truly knew what they were doing always had turnsout position.

My guess is that SOM and COM are the type of tech only a behemoth could love.

* Increases in income of the population then vs now, which would be good for comparing the economy then vs now (e.g. median income then vs now)

* Increases in income following cohorts, which would be good for see how on average individual people's income has risen due to both the economy and gained experience (e.g. 25 year old in 2015 would be 33 now, and thus likely make more money both due to population-wide changes (e.g. inflation) and due to having more work experience)

* Increases in income of a few individual people (the example you provided)

For the first one, this page[1], says that in 2021 dollars, the median US household income was $68410, and in 2022 (also in 2021 dollars) it was $74580. So adjusting those back to their in-year dollars, that would be $61,426.62 in 2015[2] and $86,662.50 in 2023[3]. So adjusting the Youtube Red/Premium price change, to those numbers, results in Youtube Red/Premium decreasing price by 0.7% once adjusted for the US population's medium household income.

For the second one, I think adjusting for that would should the price decreasing even more. Because each individual person's experience increases, so you would expect an individual's income to increase more than the population's income.

For the third one, I don't see how it's useful to look at a few examples. One person's income might have doubled, showing the Youtube Red/Premium dropped drastically in price. Another person's income might have halved, showing Youtube Red/Premium increases drastically in price. Another person might have become unemployed, showing Youtube Red/Premium's price increased by infinity %. Another person might have gone from unemployed to having a job, showing Youtube Red/Premium's price decreases from infinity % of income to non-infinity % of income, so basically a decrease by inifnity %.
