In Spain, especially after the closures in the 80s [1], the traditional rail network, which was already chronically under-maintained, also became, with some exceptions, hopelessly disjointed. Many of the remaining operating routes can't meaningfully connect the territories they pass through with each other, only to Madrid.

As more and more of the main cities are brought into the high speed network, the traditional network is given less funding and less service, to the detriment of the smaller towns served by it. However, it is important to note that this trend was already underway before the high speed network was in place.

The remaining regional train between Barcelona and Madrid, for example, takes eight hours by the schedule (nine or ten in real life) while the high speed trains take three hours or less.

Occasionally, some services survive that use the high speed network for most of the trip, then switch to the traditional network for the last leg of the trip.

It’s well-known[0] that discussing China-related politics is off limits for Apple-affiliated content producers.

Along with removing relevant apps and blocking relevant Airdrop features coincidentally right during Hong Kong protests, with giving up iCloud infrastructure, etc. (are there more examples?), can’t help wondering how far their collaboration goes.

On one hand, it was a matter of time that Stewart’s new show would be cancelled if he had any integrity. On the other hand, the show was IMHO not at his previous level based on the first few episodes.

Instead of hinting at it, they should support the forbidden topic with credible evidence. And if the vast majority of credible evidence contradicts the forbidden topic, then maybe it's not forbidden, it's just incorrect and people are tired of seeing it.
I think the issue is that for a long long time we were a car nation wearing the coat of a train nation and while the stereotype (and expectation) solidified itself we privatized the railway system, converted many of the Western cities from public transportation focussed to car focussed (and back) and continued to make the car industry the bedrock of a few states' economies.

I'm not saying that processes wouldn't be free to spit out raw ASCII or whatever if they so wanted, but there should be some sort of POSIX-type standard that would spec typical output formats (e.g. standard --yaml flag). I see no urgent need for formal sending of schemas.

It's a disgrace that most standard tools don't have even an option for any machine readable output. Or when they do, they are ad-hoc and there are ad-hoc parser tools/flags for those. I.e. you need a lot of (badly implemented) specialized tools.

You can grep, sed and awk YAML all you want. It's just ASCII (or UTF-8) text.
I thought (not being in finance) that the exchange rate reflects supply and demand for Yen, which depends on:

* Demand for products sold internationally and denominated in Yen (not US dollars, for example).

* Demand due to perceived risk of the Yen's future value

* Supply of Yen printed by the government

* Supply due to Yen sold to purchase imports

Maybe some other things I'm not thinking of.
Idiots are driving this, literally and figuratively.

Idiots who complain about inflation and the price of gas yet who also are spending gobs of money on vehicles that get awful MPG.

I feel the same way with student loans. I'm all for government sponsored state universities to compete with tuition at private universities, but to see people who are my age, in their 20s, complaining is so frustrating. I knew these people as teenagers, and I would ask them what their goal in life was. "To go to college" was a common answer. I'd ask them what about after that, and they didn't know, they just knew they HAD to go to college to get a degree and figure it out. They'd get upset with me if I pushed too hard on trying to ask them about specifics about anything, because they didn't care and didn't want to be bothered with it. They just wanted to hang out, have a good time, and not worry about the future.

My girlfriend in college had no idea how much her student loans were in total, how long they were financed, whether they were private or federal loans, etc. She just let her parents do all the financing work (they couldn't pay for her, but they did all the paperwork for her), and she just struggled with school while going out and drinking every night. Now she's graduated and we've long since parted ways, but she has a Bachelor's Degree yet she's currently working as a dog groomer and refusing to pay her student loans "because the government shouldn't force me to pay, I was only 18".

To see all of these people online now, complaining about how they were "groomed by the banks" to take out student loans drives me crazy. You made a bad decision. Your parents helped you make a bad decision. You need to live with that, and feel some form of "punishment" (in the form of not bailing them out) for not planning better for the future.
Are you sure they didn't, after that article was published? "Google eventually fixed the problem a few months after this story was published" is not a story the NY Times is that interested in publishing, nor is "it turns out there was a reason this account remained banned" a particularly compelling follow-up story.

The St Petersburg lottery is a good counterexample against basing decisions on (arithmetic) mean outcome; AKA the expected value.

In particular, the arithmetic mean is useful in situations where the source of value is irrelevant, we only care about the total. For example, if I can earn $X/hour doing job 1 and $Y/hour doing job 2, then (assuming they're equally difficult, fulfilling, etc.) my total value should be the arithmetic mean of spending the fraction t of my time doing job 1 versus job 2:

t * $X/hour + (1 - t) * $Y/hour

This makes sense, since the money I get is the sum of the money from each job. In particular if I "waste" some time on a low-paid job, I can "make it up" by spending some time on a well-paid job, resulting in a total value somewhere in-between. To maximise my value, I go "all in" on whichever job pays most.

Games of chance are not like this, since the source of value is highly relevant. We'll only receive one of the possible payoffs: if it's a low payout, we can't "make it up" using some of a high payoff that didn't happen. Hence we don't directly care about the "total" of all the payouts, since we can't aggregate winnings from alternate timelines. Instead, we should maximise the geometric mean of the payouts, which makes each individual outcome the least-bad. The result is the Kelly Criterion.

The St Petersburg lottery makes this clear: I don't care how exponentially-huge one of the payoffs might have grown, if the payoff I actually receive is $1!

The same logic works across other sources of value, e.g. GDP-per-capita is an arithmetic mean; a government can maximise it by going all-in on the sector with the highest return (e.g. the US could divert its military budget, food subsidies, etc. into the tech sector); or the region with the highest return (e.g. the UK could invest everything in London); or the age demographic that's most productive; etc. However, as an individual human I only have one age; I work in one sector; I live in one place; etc. so I'd prefer a government that spreads its investments more like Kelly betting.
I've used the linked tool (on Windows) and it worked fine. I guess from your comment there's some drama I'm not aware of. Can you elaborate what's wrong with it and what alternative you'd recommend?

It is funny that sed and awk are often uttered together as one incantation, while in fact they are very different tools.

Sed is, I dare to say, one of these quick-hack tools Unix is full of; awk in turn os a great mini-language with the defaults and builtins allowing for very concise programs.

What they share in common is processing lines and using regexes, and here's where similarities end.

While there is this sentiment to attribute a notion of "oldness" to awk, it is very powerful tool and is being implemented every decade (hello, GoAwk!). The rhetorical question, if it's so ancient and legacy, whether it's being reinvented every now and then?

This is a little detour from the original point, that was: processing structured data. Going back to this, I think there is important distinction: are we ok with the tools processing raw input/output and interpreting structure internally, or are we in a desperate need to preserve the structure in the piping mechanism, like Marcel does?
The latter ofc gives more power; but the former retains the compatibility with all the tools that don't know the structure.
Probably because management can CYA by claiming to have done due diligence to their higher ups. "Well, we consulted McKinsey and took their advice, so if they got it wrong, then the industry is getting it wrong."

I trust Google more than I do my ISP or third-party DNS provider (I also use Chrome and Google's VPN). Google may use my activity data for their own purposes (which I'm OK with because I find their products very useful), but they will not sell my data and have demonstrated themselves to be resistant to government requests.
I'm very familiar with the idea discussed in that video, including the fact that it's in use by agencies like the NHTSA and the FAA. The problem is not that no one knows about these things, the problem is that (1) they can only be applied thoughtfully insofar as it's not part of public discussion (most people don't pay attention to NHTSA decisions) and (2) it's generally only applied when safety-at-any-cost is completely untenable.

By (2), I mean the fact that in certain regulatory sectors you really can spend (or force others to spend) arbitrary amounts of money. Since there will be backlash against, that, regulators are forced to come up with a principle. But in many cases, the feasible restrictions can feasibly be dialed up to the max (e.g., complete banning of some product) and no one had to do a CBA.
I wonder what would drive that market down. Cell network equipment is an infrastructure investment, right? It seems they are predicting a pretty long-term demand drop in that case…
Around two years ago.
Obviously not.

The goal is to measure people's results. It might occasionally take a relatively-long time to find a seemingly-simple solution. But if an engineer /always/ takes a long time to find every solution, and upon inspection the problems were not actually difficult, then you most likely have a low-productivity engineer on your hands.

For sure, I'm not trying to argue or debate or anything, was just curious.
I remember reading that the move to 5G would make cellular equipment more like software with upgrades and needing less hardware replacements to support newer tech.
Yeah, it's like one weird trick for web scraping.
Everyone hates copyright until it's their work being stolen.
Interesting idea. Effectively moving the extra decode stage in front of the Icache, making the Icache a bit like a CISC trace/microOp cache. On a 512b line you would add 32 bits to mark the instruction boundaries. At which point you start to wonder if there is anything else worth adding that simplifies the later decode chain. And if the roughly 5% adder to Icache size (figuring less than 1/16th since a lot of shared overhead) is worth it.

I guess something like that is indeed the reason. However, as stated (in terms of "risk of ruin") the argument doesn't quite work. Because even if the probabilities are known with certainty, betting the Kelly optimum would increase the risk of ruin compared to betting less. But Kelly betting would nonetheless be better.

I'm originally from a deeply impoverished rural area where you see a lot of maga flags in yards, etc and I still have a lot of ties to the place. Public health was already in the gutter after the back to back meth and opioid epidemics plus just the general toll that poverty and hard labor takes on your body.

The general mood there was anti mask from the beginning and anti vaccine once that emerged, obviously. And let me tell you, those people got FUCKED UP by covid. No one I know there has any grandparents now! They all died of covid. Several families lost a parent in their 50s to covid, several more to "pneumonia" since like you said they don't even test for it. Another handful are newly bedridden with mysterious illnesses that they're totally sure have nothing to do with covid. I'm not certain that they do either but it's hard to rule it out.

So I don't know man. I don't know who you know. But the people I know who ignored covid get wrecked by it. Every family touched.
Grocery store chains aren't very relevant in this discussion.

I'm talking about stuff like Mercedes-Benz engine factory in Jawor, seats from Groclin, Michelin and Bridgestone tyre factories, or the fact that Poland is world's second biggest battery manufacturer (ahead of US) - all of that is used in German car manufacturing supply chain.

I think there’s a substantial number of people who aren’t averse to calculated entrepreneurial risk specifically, where negative outcomes are more predictable/bounded.

These are your types who currently bootstrap themselves and grow slowly rather than seek explosive growth by way of external funding, and I think you’d see both see this group grow and become more bold if basics like housing weren’t something that was ever in question.

> And you similarly need to cross your fingers and hope the facility isn't burned to the ground or blasted apart or whatever.

Except you don’t need a “facility”. A lot of lot of knowledge fits on a bank card size nanofiche. You make ten thousand of them, and people put them away as best as they can. Some will melt in a fire, or get blasted apart, some will be burried and forgotten forever. But some will be more lucky, by just chance they will end up in an atick or crawlspace where nobody disturbs them.

Not counting that we can hide some of them in places where they are unlikely to be disturbed, such as place a few on the moon or place a copy on every single geo and lagrange point destined satelite. Heck, burry a few on a glacier and they will naturally re-appear in a few thousand years.
Hm. I think about that the other way around.

If you make information about effective and readily available ways to end ones life available, people harboring bad depression will read that, acquire these tools and use them on impulse during a dark episode. And we can discuss control over one's own life and body more, but if depression forces a person to take their life because today was worse than yesterday, are they in control of their own situation? Those people need help to sort their own being out, not help to choose death.

And that is very different from someone overall committing to end their existence on their terms, because there is no way for it to become better. Knew a guy in chronic pain who spent half a year socializing their pets with a few friends, gave away all their equipment in a sport, canceled all contracts, wrote down his last will, setup a call to emergency services two days after and then went to a long sleep.

Is that "significant amount of people" based on something or just your own prejudices?

Personally most people I know who don't want the covid vax reached that conclusion after weighing the risk/benefit.
