I can only speak for myself, but here is what I would happily pay for: I would happily pay up to 20 cents to read a single article, ad free (or even, I suppose, not ad free), and for perpetual access to that article. And I would happily pay up to 50 bucks a month for all of the articles I read from all
publications combined. What I will not do is purchase 20 subscriptions with recurring charges to 20 different media publications, none of which let me read articles from any other publication, and then remember to cancel them and reactivate them on a continuous basis so I can fly through paywalls. What I will also not do is hand over a bunch of personal contact information for the privilege of reading a single article, subjecting myself to all manner of unsolicited marketing emails. I have a feeling I'm not alone.

The sooner we can get to where this is all going, which I believe is tiny, contactless, trust-less, anonymous micropayments on a per-page basis, not a coercive subscription model built on dark patterns like recurring charges and call-to-cancel, the better it will be for everyone . Paywalls and other gating have totally ruined the user experience of the Internet and it is totally orthogonal to how the Internet and its protocols were designed to function. The sooner media realizes that they have to band together to adopt some sort of per-page or per-view micropayments solution in order remain aligned with the content model baked into the web's architecture, the sooner they will figure out how to support their profession with a continuous revenue stream and also, yes, even profit.

And for those who say that will warp the incentives of news reporting: they are already warped by page views and ad revenue. It's self-deluding to think that subscriptions somehow prevent that.
fwiw: That was in Oregon where pot was legal. I wouldn't be surprised if it's somewhat more strict in say, Arizona. Also, I knew that fab folks, both blue and green badge (people wearing bunny suits) were drug tested.

Seaweed is one of the few foods that will nearly ruin a dish for me. I just really don't like the flavor or the smell.
Seems the distinction is basically "water coming from above" vs "water flooding from below". "Damage due to heavy rain" makes one think of the former, while the latter case can be more nuanced (did you drive into a very deep puddle?)
There is Charles F Johnson, the operator of Little Green Footballs, who indeed has moved left.

Ask HN: History of NIMBYism?
Hello hackers, I am interested in the history of NIMBYism, pre-industrial Eurasia and earlier.

Eurasian cities are quite dense compared to North American ones. They are also much older. I am wondering if old cities also went through phases of increasing spread over a geographic area before filling in.

The effect would be magnified by the affordable automobile. But it might be universal for people to resist urbanization in their immediate vicinities, as a Tragedy of the Commons-type situation.

As a corollary, I think that in 200 years it is entirely possible that North American cities will be much denser, though maybe never as dense as Eurasian ones (again due to being primarily built after the automobile).

Or, perhaps it's possible that NIMBYism is an old phenomenon that is now accessible to the masses due to democracy. I am sure that aristocrats and oligarchs lived near fewer people than peasants. But now, everyone has a little more politicaly power, and will gladly use that to live more like aristocrats. But the effects of aristocrats doing it was much lesser.

Is there anyone who knows of any scholarly material that covers this?
Given that the repo says "Just some little toys." in the description[1], I don't think this is made to be used in production.

Sorry to put you on the spot, but I was recently considering a masters in geology. I'm an experienced software engineer, so I am wondering if you see opportunities for software engineering in the geology field.

And, if you care to postulate, do you think the opportunities are more for geologists to supplement their work with programming or more for software engineers to solve geology problems for geologists?
That sounds terrible. It really sounds like they were already pretty far gone. I was able to get help with my depression from magic mushrooms, but it was at most a moderate case.
I don't want to downplay depression (which I have no experience of), or come across as being flippant, but could the placebo effect in many of these kinds of trials be as simple as "a caring person (professional and/or stranger) interacting with the depressed subject improves their condition?"
Since everyone else gave ridiculous answers, I'll give a real one.

The Cybertruck is electric. Electric engines have theoretically infinite torque at 0 MPH, decreasing with speed. The actual limit is the materials, the friction of the tires, and the point at which the vehicle flips over.

Between a heavy vehicle, good tires and a low center of gravity, it can tow several times its own weight.
Sorry, what can be harmful exactly? The experience of drugs? I completely agree.

A corollary of my position is that you should be able to fix a fair bit of depression by providing non-pharmacological access to transcendent experience. The drug is then a (very potent and correspondingly sharp) tool among others.
I think the only breakthrough will come when robots can finally repair robots.
You don’t need “the API” in another file.

Headers are such an idiotic design, over-abstraction harms locality of reasoning.
Agree. I have heard stories of people who “had one treatment and never smoked/put their elbows on the dinner table ever again.”

My experiences seemed to benefit more from watching David Attenborough and feeling a connection to life.

I’d interpret the dad of a family of mountain lions as an analogue of my dad, etc. Seeing events as taking place in a dissociated context. All that introspection is what I found useful about Ketamine.

Yeah, sounds silly. But it made me a happier person. To my understanding and experience, these function more to temporarily remove neurological filters than really add much new (same with LSD, etc). Maybe that benefit is “subjective,” but what’s the difference to me, years later?

Even Tesla said it wasn't the drivers fault and there's no evidence that the drivers drove through "deep water":

> “After finally getting to speak to a manager, he told me [the battery] had water in it due to the fact the weather in Scotland has been so bad. That was the issue. They said it’s not necessarily my fault but it’s not Tesla’s to pay under warranty. He reminded me there was a yellow weather warning in some parts of Scotland,” one of the owners told Edinburgh Live.

Besides, Tesla's CEO disagrees that "deep water" is a problem[2]:

> A Tesla works as a boat for short periods of time, as an electric car has no air intake or exhaust to block & battery/motor/electronics are water-sealed. Submarines are just underwater EVs.

... which also means it could be coming from Israeli or Hamas (or Iranian or Russian or American or ...) propagandists posing as on the ground citizen reporters and there's nobody on the ground to fact check anything.

This is particularly true in the era of deepfakes. You don't even have to stage or mis-caption or mis-attribute photos. You can outright fake things. You don’t even need to be there. That on the ground reporter in Gaza could be in a basement in Idaho using Midjourney and Dall-E.

You can certainly plan for it, though.
In the US it is widely available dried along with several others, but is quite expensive. It sounds like Maine Coast Sea Vegetables can't harvest enough to keep up with demand (although flakes or powder are available in bulk). Nori seems like the most popular seaweed in the US, though. I tried a bunch of varieties years ago and found dulse to be my favorite snack seaweed both from the flavor (I like it better than nori) and because it is easy to eat out of the bag while others (besides nori) are quite stiff if you try that.
There shouldn't be any effect. Solar storms cause low-frequency fluctuations that can induce significant currents in very long conductors (like hundreds to thousands of kilometers). It's a very big deal for large-scale electrical grids and any copper communication, but it doesn't matter for anything that isn't hooked up to such networks.
If you drive your ICE in a puddle and hydro lock the motor it’s classified as an accident. Insurance will pay.
You have to read it in a normal literate fashion taking into account the very common technique of hyperbole to make the point. This kind of thing is much more common in Scotland than some other places and is well understood.

Try reading it as:

"Elon musk is very rich and can surely very easily afford to make good on this faulty product resulting in what is for us a very, very expensive unexpected bill."

Then see how you feel about it.
Swift allows you to program using “headers” - just have a protocol and an implementation, even in separate files if you want.

This is a good pattern for some cases, like the public members of a package. However, I love that I don’t need to do this for every class I write.

And if you do use this approach, at least swift will emit a compile error if your protocol and implementation signatures don’t match.

ObjC will happily compile if your header is missing an implementation and crash at runtime.

People have reported problems with Apple for the same kind of thing though. Water sensors being tripped without their devices having gone into water.

From the article, it sounds like Tesla's might not be designed or manufactured well enough to withstand Scottish weather.

Given Convoy's margins and operational leverage, I'm not sure it was this simple. Legacy freight brokers who have been doing this a long time are being caught surprised. They may have thought they had months of runway that rapidly collapsed to weeks.

We need stronger unemployment benefits. Barring a public solution, severance ensconced in employment contracts is next best. Convoy had nine figures of debt. Depending on the covenants, it may not have been able to hadn't over cash at windows to employees in the form of a novel severance package.
I don't know you and don't mean to insult but I advise you to change your mentality. Victimhood is a choice. Yes, you live in a 3rd world country where things are harder. But SE is one of the only fields where you don't need a degree, could work from anywhere in the world and still make decent money especially depending on the cost of living in your country.

Plenty of poeple live in 3rd world countries and have found ways to break into SE and make a decent living. If they can do it, so can you. All the best

>In C#/Java, exceptions are often (ab)used to create invisible control flows through the program that are extremely difficult to follow

I hear this often from Go advocates, but as someone who cut my teeth in Java in 2004, I've only ever seen this done in one codebase: an old streaming parser that I haven't seen since, and where the alternatives were, at the time, generally _more_ confusing than tossing an "unexpected end of input" exception that contained context.

In the 19 years since (14 of which have been my professional career, mostly with Java as part of the job _somewhere_), I've never seen it since.

In the meantime, though, I've run into better, more-explicit error-handling strategies (monadic errors, union types with explicit unwrapping) that manage to make the usually-bad option ("I'm swallowing this error") explicit and intentional, which is not something Go manages to achieve. (Interestingly, these better approaches all pre-date Go, so it's not like there wasn't a better state of the art to learn from.)

But Go also doesn't make error-propagation easy either.

Somehow, Go manages to optimize for accidentally swallowing errors, which is sort of impressively bad. It reminds me of something like INTERCAL: engineered to be as much a footgun as possible. INTERCAL is a parody, though, so it has that going for it.

I am in a company where most of us are "experts" of one part of the system. This is very stressful (because when there is an emergency related to my part, I am the expert on whom management is waiting), annoying at times (because nobody cares about my part, they have their own stuff to do, so it's hard to share), painful at times (when I'm struggling, I don't really have colleagues who can help), and annoying again when someone is on holiday and we need a change in their part.

Agreed on the handover cost, though (obviously).

Not saying that 5 devs are required, but 1 is not always the nicest IMO.
As a mobile dev, so far the biggest issue keeping me from adopting SwiftUI stems from its greenness and UIKit being so well fleshed out.

The newness is an issue because new SwiftUI revisions ship with new iOS releases, which means that big chunks of it are gated by the oldest iOS version you support. Jetpack Compose on Android gets this more right since it’s independent of the OS, but suffers from other tradeoffs (Java ecosystem and the rest of Android dev gives me a headache sometimes).

SwiftUI is also just missing various things that are present in UIKit, and so if you’re using those things it’s easier to write the whole app in UIKit instead of bridging those controls to SwiftUI.

I absolutely foresee going SwiftUI exclusive but realistically that’s still a few years down the road.

Not so much 'change' in my case, more of a 'wobble'.

Started as a retail pharmacist, moved to become hospital pharmacist, a sidetrack to become a COBOL computer programmer in warehouse software, then back to retail pharmacy plus aviation training as far as Commercial Pilot Licence, then back to retail pharmacy when General Aviation went through a downturn, followed by becoming general manager of the family's Commercial Rents business.

> Leaving it up to what people are willing and capable of doing sounds as fair as can be to me. That's what competition is there for. It also is not perfect, but it is better.

Is it better? Congress and the FCC has never done much to punish wrongdoing by ISPs [1]. Large ISPs including AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon commit subsidy fraud with impunity. (See the links in my other comment. [2])

And on the issue of fairness, large ISPs [3][4][5] and some government officials [6][7] do their best to prevent broadband subsidixes from reaching small local ISPs. At the very least, the FCC should (and won't, but should) place heavy penalties on large ISPs for their abuses of customers [8]. By heavy penalties, I mean at least 80% of the revenue gained from anti-competitive practices.
