Using semantic css doesn't always mean your markup and styling are separate.

There are plenty of modern frameworks nowadays that use single file components (pretty much every popular framework except react?) and often you even choose to scope the css to one component only, if you want.
When I was living in Israel, I was never able to find reasonably priced older 2nd hand x86s; there is no eBay culture, and somehow when companies have an upgrade cycle and retire a lot of old hardware, it is always to middle men who then ask for ridiculous prices (like 70% of price of new, faster, more efficient, cooler machine).

I wonder if that’s unique to Israel, or if the ease of getting reasonable 2nd hand hardware is unique to the US.
Raised prices in the coming years are what people expect, and is a reason to get an electric car. The gas stations only have a monopoly among the owners of ICE vehicles, people don't have to stay in that group.

Current trends in writing & editing appear to be that you need a rare and expensive person to get the kind of whole-number multiplier out of AI tools that people initially expected. And it's still not a large whole number.

Give the tools to someone who's not got exception taste and skill, and you're lucky if the multiplier's greater than 1 at all.

I know the urban myth, but I have travelled to the US dozens of times over the last 20+ years, have had a couple of different types of US visa, been on the TSA precheck and Global Entry programmes so I have filled in a lot of visa and immigration forms and that's not ever been a question on any form I've had to fill out.

Hard to say. It looks like this article has been republished in several different outlets but originally came from the AP[1]. At first glance they appear to cite the statistic as coming from the EU Tax Observatory, but it's worded in such a way that the provenance may only apply to a prior fact:

> In the United States, [the EU Tax Observatory] says, billionaires pay an effective average tax rate of 23%, including all taxes at all levels of government. The poorest 10% of Americans pay more – 25.6%.

I was unable to locate any such figure in the Tax Observatory's data atlas[2] -- I've included the relevant lines for their latest U.S. effective tax rate estimates below. As you can see, they're not broken down by income percentile and also lack the expected decimal precision:

USA 2020 0.31 Total_tax_NDP
USA 2020 0.11 Corporate_tax_rate
USA 2020 0.27 Labor_tax_rate
USA 2020 0.30 Capital_tax_rate

It's possible that the statistic is instead buried in one of their publications[3], but I was not able to find relevant mentions of "25.6"/".256" in any of the recent reports. This particular NGO seems mostly focused on EU corporate taxation rather than American labor taxation... so I wouldn't be surprised if the fact source is actually some other uncited party.

I’m still looking for a lightweight solution (no react etc) that lets me write normal CSS but scoping it to an arbitrary part of my HTML tree. Most of the time I’ll be working in a partial where I know what generic names such as .container refers to And I don’t want to bother with coming up with unique names.

The best I can think of is to use descendant selectors but that increases the specificity and is hard to maintain imo.

My bad and my apologies.

While I see her point, I think her point will fail.

An avid follower, 'connoisseur' if you prefer, of say Riley Reid may well recognise that she, or parts of her, are not real in whatever they are watching.

But if they do not care but they like what they see they will be back for more.

Her reaction is the same as mainstream actors concerned about voice reproduction, likeness reproduction and more.

One day (famous actor) will die. Later, they will headline a movie that people rave about. They are not dead yet, but ABBA Voyage.

Audrey Hepburn is long dead, but a certain chocolate brand exploits her.

Not saying that any of this was warranted, but that actually says Ross "[reaching toward] the center console" was the suspicious thing. It turns out Ross had a gun and heroine in the center console, along with a bunch of money in his pocket. So it could be that he actually was okay with him laughing?

Either way, what a manipulative tactic.
Along with the fact you took away the exact opposite of the point I was making, which is that real people and real use cases are Just Working more and more often for Linux, Windows is no longer a maintenance free paradise either.

Well, I mean, it never really was the paradise that it is often presented as in the Linux vs. Windows debate. I don't know where you're getting the idea that a normal user can fix "my screen is black". I've fixed a lot of relative's Windows machines over the years, in ways that often involved some relatively deep web searching and wizardry. That's just ahistorical garbage.

But now even a baseline and otherwise functioning install of Windows does not start out user friendly. It is a nightmare of popup hell that none of my family like to use, and I must deduct major points from considering the user a monetization source and stuffing ads down through your operating system.

Thanks to the marketer's decisions, Windows is simply not a 10/10 automatic default choice anymore, and the first derivative is clearly negative. More and more Microsoft wants me to upgrade Windows so they can grab more stuff and more things to stuff ads into, not because they're bringing their users any value.
No, but it certainly is a testament to pervasive greed and willful ignorance. Know what I mean?
> I pay property taxes on the "unrealized capital gains" of my house, and somehow I make it work

Is the tax assessed value of your house actually the same or higher as its most recent market value? If something happened that would put your house market value below its tax assessed value, then you typically won't have any "unrealized capital gains" at all.

Somehow I doubt that, it usually lags true market value by at least 3-5 years.
Ah yes, the classic "you voted wrong; try again" posture.

Wish humans were better stewards of earth. As a human it’s frustrating to watch others engage in destroying the planet instead of taking even simple steps to at least try.
from the article:
"Every Base64 digit represents 6 bits of data. There are 8 bits in a byte, and the closest common multiple of 8 and 6 is 24. So 24 bits, or 3 bytes, can be represented using four 6-bit Base64 digits."

So you're essentially encoding in groups of 24 bits at a time. Once the data ends, you pad out the remainder of the 24 bits with = instead of A because A represents 000000 as data.

For the record, I had to read the whole thing twice to understand that too.
> Modern cars work, let’s say for the sake of argument, at 98% of what’s physically possible with the current engine design.

If a major automobile manufacturer is able to get away with still using its 50 year old engine block design based off of valve technology that's a century old at this point, and crowbar it into everything from pickup trucks to supercars with success, I can guarantee you that it's not operating at the cutting edge of material and thermal engineering.
If you have charging at home, it's faster (in terms of active involvement) and it's cheaper. If you have solar, it's _way_ cheaper. Obviously road trips take longer, but those are a very small portion of my driving.

It's like most things, real estate.

Most hackerspaces I've been a part of couldn't or barely could afford their rent. Memberships were already too expensive, and they were constantly just getting squeezed between membership revenue and hard costs. Ultimately it doesn't add up.

I think a lot of what used to happen at makerspaces has transitioned to libraries. Lots of libraries have 3d printers, et. Now, are free, and don't have the problem with affording space.
Plenty of people do, but it's still illegal to search them without reasonable suspicion of a crime.

This is the "user space" bloat.

> The lower tax rates on capital reflect the reality that you are paying taxes on the losses too

No, you don't.

You actually get a tax credit (e.g. you pay LESS taxes), if you incur certain types of capital losses.
Yes, I think so. More widespread algorithms have been far more thoroughly studied; they've been studied for longer and stood the test of time. Their weaknesses, and how to counter them, are better understood. They're busted by general-purpose large scale quantum computers, though, if those ever happen. Combining their strengths sounds like the best approach where data is very sensitive and the overhead is acceptable.

Now just wait for the deplorable impact of LLM on code quality and performance in the years ahead. There's a new wave of programmers who are "GPT whisperers" and spend most of their time hooked to a chatbot (sometimes right in their IDE) that programs for them.

Of course, that's until AI gets to the point where it can fix everything we (or it) programmed wrong, including AI itself which is highly inefficient just like the OP predicts.
That would require actual police work. Of which most of these officers were never trained in. They are trained to stop and interrogate, not seek truth and investigate. Some do, most don’t. Most setup checkpoints or wait behind bushes to catch people in the act rather than do any investigative police work. The one area where this kind of work is still practiced (thankfully) is homicide. Everyone else is playing ref.

Are you saying the country has too many people, or that Americans don't deserve representation (population per seat) in line with, say, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, or Australia because it's "really hard" for some reason? Are you advocating for dividing the country into smaller legislative districts?

Remember when we used to do things because they were hard instead of falling back on lazy cynicism and convenience of status quo?

The U.S. seems stuck with the two party system primarily due to the mathematics of the Electoral College and lack of ranked choice voting. These require changes at the state level, not federal.

16 states and DC have now opted out of the Electoral College (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Intersta...). RCV is now in place for state-wide elections in Maine and Alaska, but recently banned (seemingly as a partisan protectionist measure) in Florida, Tennessee, South Dakota, Montana, and Idaho.

Gerrymandering and lack of a mixed electoral system also seem major factors for the political duopoly, with less clear solutions to me.

While I wholeheartedly agree that the intersection of AI and security is vital for establishing American leadership in AI, it's important to stress the ethical dimension of this intersection. Beyond just securing AI from threats, we must also ensure that AI respects privacy, avoids bias, and is used in a manner consistent with democratic values. Furthermore, to build trust with the public, there should be a strong emphasis on transparency - both in how AI systems make decisions and in how they're safeguarded. As AI becomes more integrated into critical infrastructure, health systems, and other key areas, it's not just about preventing attacks but also ensuring that AI's immense power is wielded responsibly.

> to be that software should be fast, though I don't recall any justification for that philosophy other than suggesting that it is basically a truth

The gist is that if your code takes just a couple of seconds to complete on your fancy M1 Mac, there will be a pretty big chunk of your potential audience who will have to wait for minutes (and there's that surprising character trait in many non-technical users that they simply accept such bullshit, because they don't know that performance could be drastically improved without them having to buy new hardware).

But unless devs test their code also on low-end devices they will be completely oblivious to that problem.

And the actual problem isn't even the technical aspects, but that some devs are getting awfully defensive when confronted with the ugly truth that their code is too slow and start arguing instead of sitting down with their product mangager and making time for some profiling and optimization sessions to see what can be done about the performance problems without having to start from scratch.
I had such high hopes for this book but it is nothing like its title implies.
Yes. A process might be a more ontologically appropriate comparison than a computer user.

"So and so has exited with code 0 and his/her resources have been reclaimed by the system"

A human being is more like an event (a fire, a OS process) than like a persisting object.

Once a process (/fire) has ceased running (/burning), you can start a new process (/fire), but it wouldn't be considered an instance of reviving the old process (/fire), which has ended for good.

What has a pedestrian friendly street to do with "Dutch cycling lifestyle"? To me, the lifestyle (!) of a Dutch cyclist starts with taking a cold shower in the winter mornings because that way cycling to work doesn't feel so cold.

I don't know about currently but they were on the ESTA form, if you were traveling from a visa waiver country.

But it's absolutely not myth, those questions were real.
IANAL but these two don't go together:

> Forgot to add - the only correct answer to a police officer asking questions is "I do not answer any questions without my attorney present".

> once they give you back your license, you are free to go

The pickle is that once you exercise your rights as indicated in the first part, the second part is unlikely to happen. You are correct that you don't have to answer questions, but it is also possible that you will just be taken into custody to properly adjudicate the interaction at the station. In some circumstances, this can be beneficial for you.

> Don't be bullied - just drive off.

This gets people killed. If the police want to bully you, you don't have a lot of options. Driving off from the police is a great way to get shot through your window.

We have rights, but those rights are enforced in courts and generally not at police stops.
