> American individualism has existed for multiple generations

Can you back this up? Because a review of historic American literature would make our modern age of hyper-individualism 'self-help', etc, seem like a completely foreign culture.
Are you able to play music on the car speakers from your phone? The process on iPhone seems very awkward (talking to google assistant instead of just selecting a song).
Yeah that’s an interesting point.

Although I see what you mean, I imagine that any particular Burger King etc could still have felt “significant” - imagine someone who stopped there regularly, or had memories of going there with a relative. Or the people who worked there for a year or 20.

I definitely remember a specific McDonald’s to which my mom often brought me as a child. I remember what seat we’d always pick. So… it’s meaningful..! :) If that McD closed, I’d definitely feel something.
At a decongestant dosage this will last two people two months. And of course if the second person is 18+ they can also buy that.

I'm not advocating that the limits are good, just that a single person is very unlikely to hit them for allergies, periodic illness or asthma (it's also available as a prescription for allergies)
f he's too dumb to know that different countries have different laws, then he's not good enough to be a US Senator.

Ok, gdp by ppp is also googleable. So why are people saying its fake news. It's also quite a useful metric when you need to understand what, say, the Chinese military budget buys.

I get that reading comprehension isn't your thing. And living in denial is your thing. But that's just pathetic. Try again.
Hamas is also a regular arabic word.

Might be a name too?
Thanks for all of this! I’ll definitely be adding more cities. I miss a lot of places in Montreal as well.
>There isn't any reason to think the average Chinese person will permanently keep producing 1/6th as much value as the average American

It's entirely possible given how the current Chinese government has forsaken its previous commitment to economic liberalisation and is moving towards more and more state control of the economy. If it moved close enough to the approach of Maoist China (or current North Korea), it could go decades without seeing any meaningful growth in GDP per capita, much as North Korea doesn't see any significant GDP growth.

It sometimes does feel like a challenge. Including dimensions other than the work/life balance causing stresses.

I'm 37 years old. Last weekend, I found out cooking with and drinking tap water set to hot mode is hella bad for you! Leeches heavy metals, brews bacteria, the works. I've been doing that every day for coffee, tea, pasta etc my whole adult life. Oops?
That seems like very 20th century thinking. We should be aspiring to shape public transport to the needs of the riders instead of making the riders learn fixed routes and transfers. Waymo is very likely to be superior to existing public transportation in all dimensions for almost every transit need. There might still be a role for big buses and trains in the peak of rush hour (if that still exists).
I also agree that the title is accurate, but most job seekers don't have the luxury of being selective. In my experience, anything less than asking softball questions may label you as "difficult".
You can’t be that naive, can you? It’s obviously not the Tweet they’re worried about. They think the Tweet is indication that he supports Hamas enough to aid or promote them secretly. “If this guy is this outspoken publicly for his support of Hamas, what must he be doing to support them behind closed doors? Does he donate to them? Organize for them?”

Whether or not that’s enough to search him is another debate, but that’s what their thought process was when they decided to detain him.
> And yet innocent people still get arrested and have their lives upended and/or ruined because they accidentally violated pseudoephedrine regulations.

I'm curious to know if you have any examples of this because I can't find one.
It also makes no sense for social media to pick sides. Federated social media has an advantage here over both centralized and completely decentralised.
Yeah, I’m big into ‘90s UK hardcore where a lot of the classics were only released on some cassette or vinyl at a show back then so being able to include the obscure stuff I’ve procured is a hard requirement for me.

It makes sense that Google Play Music offered this, as it seems like adding a whole cloud-storage stack would be prohibitively complex and expensive for a company that isn’t running their own datacenters and/or already maintaining cloud storage as part of their business. Spotify supports local files and (apparently) lets you sync them iPod-style to your phone, but that’s where I draw the line in terms of music-collection-anachronism.

Random note: you do have to convert FLAC to ALAC if you want to add lossless files to Apple Music, but that’s an easy ffmpeg one-liner.
Everyone knew about LOTR and read the books before the movies came out. It was in no way some obscure out of print lit, it was both pop and a cult classic, and it was very much front and center of any must read fantasy bookshelf. Hence the wildly profitable movies.
I love the cynicism, but if we’re looking at Median speed, us is still among the best - 11th for broadband, 26th for mobile. Punching below its weight class, for sure, but not exactly worse than developing countries. The only exceptions are Thailand, Hungary, and Romania IMO - props to them!!

> I want real numbers

Every single accident involving a self driving car in California must be reported to the DMV. In addition, miles driven and disengagements are reported. All that information is available today online (e.g. accidents [1]).

> nobody is talking

No one talks data about the biggest player Waymo because "human driver causes an accident" is not news.

In September, there were three crashes involving a Waymo car. On September 3rd and again on the 11th, a driver hit a parked Waymo car[1]. On September 30th, a car rear-ended a Waymo car stopped at a red light[1].

> there are millions of people without employment who aren't counted.

Looks about right:

Could someone post up the population against the unemployed? I'd believe the 1/3 of today, is probably a bit high, but not crazy.
If the seller is a licensed firearm dealer, they are required to run a background check, no matter whether they’re at a gun show or not. Whereas if you’re purchasing in a private sale, you don’t have to be at a gun show. I can walk over to my neighbor’s house right now and purchase his gun without showing him my ID

This is fearmongering and sensationalism.
The animated Hobbit cartoon movie is a freaking treasure. It got me into fantasy as a kid and led me to reading the Tolkien books. I have passed it on to my daughter and the opening scene where Thorin & Gandalf talk about the Dragon while reading direct quotes from the book still gives me chills and was probably my first real experience with poetry.

The number of empty bus seats I see go by is astounding Those buses take up a lot of road space and block arterial traffic when people are boarding.

> The US is a very new country, compared to those in Europe and Asia. The only preexisting culture was the Native Americans, and you (should) know what happened to them...

Forming a new country does not mean abandoning the parent culture. American society is still feeling the influence of the British empire.

> The US is geographically very large and open. Even within the nation of immigrants, there was a huge amount of migration to populate "the west".

This is certainly true, but I'd also venture that a lot of these western pioneers had more solid 'friends' that they could depend than a solid portion of Americans today.

> The US has a very weak central government, by design of the Constitution, and it never had a state church. There's no centralizing cultural force.

This is to America's advantage. In fact, a strong central government is often at odds with community mindedness, which is what we find in most left-wing enclaves (this is my opinion). In his book Democracy in America, de Tocqueville, writes:

"Americans of all ages, all stations of life and all types of disposition are forever forming associations. There are not only commercial and industrial associations in which all take part, but others of a thousand types-religious, moral, serious, futile, very general and very limited, immensely large and very minute."

"Finally, if they want to proclaim a truth or propagate some feeling ...they form an association. In every case, at the head of any new undertaking, where in France you would find the government ... in the United States you are sure to find an association."

Thanks!

Yeah the Kroger companies have a 150 limit. So do some others like Target. Need to add some logic around that. Right now it clips the top 150 based on the default selection which is recommended by the store based on previous purchases.

Need to implement capping at 150 so it doesn't hang the browser and change the ux so you can select categories to clip.
The only advice I have to offer is to work out in the morning, before work. It seems like an insane task when you first consider it, but you quickly find you can establish a routine where you wake up, have some water or coffee, and then get down to it.

After that morning workout is done, I feel incredibly energized for the day. More importantly, I find that it usually delays when I start to feel hungry by an additional 2-3 hours compared to days where I don't work out, which in turn helps with intermittent fasting. But most importantly, it prevents you from skipping workouts because you're too tired after work, or you have to work late due to an unexpected issue, or there's some other obligation you have to take care of. There's just fewer conflicts and distractions at 5 or 6 AM
Even chain restaurants can be special to people. Maybe it’s the McDonald’s across the street from school where everyone hung out after class, or the Denny’s that was the only place open at 2 AM in college. Maybe you met your first love at that corner Starbucks, or celebrated a business deal at that Applebees next to the hotel on a work trip.

There’s plenty of ways that people and events can make an otherwise unremarkable place memorable.
> Does punishing people for possessing CSAM actually have any effect on the rate of CSA?

I think this is a more fundamental question than it seems. In a few years- probably less than it takes to actually implement these laws- almost all CSAM could be AI generated. Then consuming it would be effectively a victimless crime- basically punishing someone for his sexual inclinations in the absence of any actual victim.

Unless of course it's been proven that consumption of CSAM material substantially increases the risk for CSA behaviour in the consumers.
the server meshing demo is technically impressive, very curious how they did that

so in the example, they had 3 location authority server and 1 replication layer,

so each location server can represent a physical location on 3d world, say its own solar system, and moving out from location A to location B moves you to a different server, and that was possible cause your position matrix was store in the replication layer and each server has a copy of replication layer.

now how do you handle updating all those in realtime is what amazed me, they even have bullets go through locations
Are you denying that there's more guns than people in the US, or that tens of thousands of people are killed by guns there every year? Strange how Americans are so in denial of the war-like state of their country and daily life in it.
It's not just early 2000s aesthetics (I wouldn't know specifically about funeral homes, I didn't visit those pages then, nor do I now, it's the one line of business when I still find out I need to go directly or by word-of-mouth and then just physically go there :) ), it seems the site has no trackers, no anti-social media badges, etc.

Yes, you are right that discoverability isn't detrimental unless it becomes an expectation that this is how one must engage with software. I assume that it is also the preferred way to engage with software for some people .

I think your best bet here is Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays): https://nostr.com https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr

Nostr isn't a federated platform like Mastodon or Lemmy, it's more similar to the AT protocol created by Bluesky, whilst being far simpler to understand and write apps using it. The nostr protocol is defined by a series of NIPs (Nostr implementation possibilites https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips), the most basic of which can be implemented in a client or a relay in 50-100 lines of code in any modern programming language.

Each user runs a client, anyone can write a relay or run any of hundreds of existing implementations, both clients and relays can choose to support a number of NIPs. Users have a public-private keypair, and distribute notes to relays signed with their private key, which are verified by relays. Clients subscribe via websockets to any number of relays (I usually have 20-30), and receive notes from all users on those relays' databases, or filtered by the public keys of the users you're following. Relays for the most part don't communicate with each other. If you're ever blocked or banned from a relay, you'll still be able to have your notes seen as long as you have at least one relay in common with anyone who wants to see them. I run my own as well for extra resiliency.

At the moment there's ~50 standardised NIPs, which add features like likes, zaps (bitcoin tips for notes), user status, post expiration, mentions, search, DMs, and public chats. Nearly all of these are supported by popular clients and relays. While nostr is primarily used for social media at the moment, it's already possible to build upon as a protocol for pretty much any online service.

The total active user count on most public relays I'd estimate is somewhere around 500k to a million, though the nature of the protocol makes it impossible to estimate its true size. The perceived community on most relays before following anyone frankly can get pretty cancerous, mainly due to a lot of clients sorting notes by new by default, so I can only hope to high heaven it'll improve as it grows.

Though like any new non-centralised platform, it's more difficult to get started on for most non-technical users as they have to pick one of hundreds of clients to install, and requires caution to never leak your private key and be very wary of which clients you trust it with.
Nah, should I have? Also relevant username ;)
There is historical precedent for limiting access for children. Children can't legally buy cigarettes, alcohol, lottery tickets, firearms (of which owning is a constitutional right), or enter certain prohibited places. Unfortunately, I many service providers have abused their access to children and acted as if children can legally enter into some type of one sided quasi-contract. The bar for working with children at any physical location is huge and boundaries are well understood.

I know of exactly zero places I take my children (activities, sports, clubs, etc.) that would speak to them privately to coerce them to use that service more without parental consent. That's what Meta and a million other online services are doing to children.

> You look in ANY American colleges, you will find "East Asians" a lot even more so in Ivy Leagues

uhh so? X% of those are American of East Asian descent, and, regardless, East Asian != Chinese

Granted, you see plenty of wealthy Chinese at the graduate level at Ivies because they have $$ and want the social currency, but that's not the substance of true educational domination.

I don't necessarily disagree with your overall thesis; I'm not qualified to say one way or the other. Just pointing out this alleged datum doesn't support it.

>So why are people saying its fake news.

It's "fake news" insofar as playing fast and loose with definitions. "GDP" without any qualifiers means nominal GDP, not PPP adjusted GDP. It'd be like claiming the unemployment rate is 6.7% (U-6 rate) when most people agree that "unemployment" refers to the U-3 rate, which currently sits at 3.6%.

All that said, IMHO, having Peanuts characters on MetLife ads, or visiting Camp Snoopy doesn’t cheapen or weaken the original strips.

“Merry Christmas Charlie Brown” and “Great Pumpkin” are both pure, done by Schulz rather than handed off. It’s Schulz bringing his work to life how he wanted it done.

Did he have Guaraldi music in his head when he created the characters? Dunno. Do you think it really changed them for him? Dunno either, but seems unlikely.

I have the 4 volume C & H boxed set. I was there, mostly, reading it daily from the beginning to the end. I’m pretty sure I have the final strip saved from when it was published in a box somewhere. Mad respect for Watterson, his work, his vision.

That said, I’d be first in line for a Hobbes doll. I had a pirate Spaceman Spiff sticker on the back of my motorcycle helmet.

I don’t think an Opus the Penguin doll had any real impact on Breatheds work, but at the same time he stopped the licensing, so who knows.

The work stands on its own. I’ve never read LoTR. I don’t know if it’s impacted how people view the books. I do know that I’ve watched the trilogy at least once a year since its release.

Calvin is Calvin. Opus is Opus. Snoopy is Snoopy. And Waterson will do as he likes with his work. I just think his work is stronger than he, perhaps, thinks it is.

I have some nostalgia for the fast food chain place I worked at as a kid, ages ago. Same building, same rough layout, though everything else is different. I don't get the same vibe around other existing locations of the same chain.

I don't know about sources, but I do know:

- if you go to lowes, many of the fittings for hot water pipes are made of lead

- my cold water supply doesn't sit in a big 50+ gallon tub for 1-2 days at a time (I don't think we fully empty it but every other day, on kid bath night)

- old hot water heaters will fill with sediments and other buildup

So like, on a scale of drinking sewage to drinking dew collected from the leaves of Yggdrasil? It's probably about the same as drinking (cold) tap water. But also like, given a choice, I'll probably go for the cold tap.

Why would you want to diff code and ignore formatting? If it's just whitespace changes, any decent diff program should have an option to ignore that, but if it's more substantial, I would want to see that in a PR.

If, for some odd reason, I wanted to compare two codebases that had diverged, and one had gotten some serious formatting changes (maybe the new person preferred a different coding style), I'd run them both through an automatic formatter program with the same options. For C code, "indent" is commonly available, for instance.

When I was a student, it felt that time was pretty much infinite, it was just about what you decided to prioritise. After working full time for a few years, it quickly becomes apparent that when the obligations start rolling in, you have to start thinking about the constraints and what you really want to be doing. There's just not enough time in the week to do everything you want to do and it sucks.
