My company spends maybe $4k/mo with GCP, and I have absolutely no idea who my "dedicated account rep" is. I did have someone contact me way back when, but after finding out we aren't VC funded they literally ghosted me.

I don't really enjoy being on GCP for that reason, but I need it for BigQuery, so...
Meta earnings call: Threads has "just under" 100M monthly users
First I don't think "metaverse" is clearly defines as "house". In a way similar to Web3. I think Torrent was already part of Web3 as PET (Privacy-enhancing technologies).

Now, I don't know if metaverse is equal to a head strapped device but I think one part of this umbrella term is some compatibility between games or worlds like a character that could be useful in different games by different vendors with some features embedded.

Regarding VR, I tried the technologies, liked them for "a few minutes", feel the dizziness but mainly the issue I found is a lack of apps. The hardware there is incredible and will be more in the future. But, again, my point is the future, and in the future probably you will just connect it to your brain. Don't know when.
In my niece they spend all their money on playing dirty with being cozy with govt and basically none on r&d. Eventually I’ll be able to beat them in price and product quality but for now I make a living on being the low cost alternative.
Assume that the honest / nice / peaceful people are not calling the shots right now - on either side.

The more common public transit use by the general population the more you dilute the fringes of society with normal people. There’s vastly more normal people than people on the fringes of society but if it’s normal for people to drive then that’s what normal people will do. Lots of normal people also tends to enforce social conformity.

You see the same effect in any pace where the general public visits. Walmart at 6pm is a very different place than Walmart at 3AM not because the store is different but because you’re self selecting for people who don’t need to be asleep at 3AM.
Kayak Founder Steve Hafner used to do that. I was very impressed.
The fact that you need a third-party installer for Nix or otherwise it will break doesn't inspire much confidence in the whole setup.
Some examples:

1. Manually copying and pasting data that can’t be easily programmatically extracted from PDFs/web pages and manually compiling a valuable dataset instead of scraping it, or using some scalable way to gather it such as getting it from users.

2. Finding users on Twitter who mention a specific pain/problem you’re solving and messaging them and having a conversation with each and every one of them.

3. Keep track of the news pertaining to your industry and manually finding journalists and sending them each a custom pitch related to your startup when a news headline or topic becomes popular
>asphalt microparticles are in the end just very viscose oil

Bitumen is still a plastic. In fact there are also increasing efforts to use post-consumer recycled plastic as an additive.

Microplastics from road transport mainly come from tire dust, but also include road markings[0] (which are plastic mixed with glass microbeads), bitumen from asphalt[1], and yes a bit of brake dust.

By and large, the Palestinian civilians being murdered by the Israeli bombings are not Hamas supporters, they were just like you and me - trying to live a peaceful civilian life during a tumultuous time.

In hindsight this looks like Israel was waiting for any excuse to perform genocide against the Palestinians.

Now the murder rate has accelerated to 3,000 Gaza strip occupants per week.
They break MAD, and there's a lot of people that justify the existence of XY,000 nuclear weapons with a yield of ~4,000 MT as 'It's fine, they'll never be used, they prevent war because of MAD.'

If MAD was what was preventing them from being used, and MAD is no longer a thing, it's no longer fine that we have them. Anybody pushing to destabilize that balance of terror is going to need a damn good and through review of that question.
>The study found the plots with crushed rock stored 0.15 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare (2.47 acres) during the study compared to plots without crushed rock.

According to the article it took several months of winter. Say, even though there is less rain in the summer, it is 0.3 tons per hectare per year.

To put into perspective - trees sequester more than 6 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare per year.

Sibelco's Aheim mine essentially supplies a large part of the world's olivine today. It is located in a Fjord with its own port. The transportation distance is very small.

See their website here: https://www.sibelco.com/en/150-years/aheim

"The proximity of Aheim’s mine, processing facility and shipping terminal enables Sibelco to run a highly efficient operation with minimal transport or double-handling of materials. Quarried olivine is moved via conveyor belt through a 4km tunnel to the processing plant where it is crushed, dried and screened into different grades."

When transporting mostly by ship, olivine ERW efficiency can remain >90% even with 1000+ kilometers of sea transit.

See this working paper: Environmental life cycle assessment of CO2 sequestration through enhanced weathering of olivine https://legacy.projectvesta.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/E...
I'm an idiot sorry about that. Okay, let's try again, suppose you wrote

SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE 2+2=4

Which is semantically identical to

SELECT * FROM t1

While the first is correct in that it has a semantic meaning and a valid output, wouldn't you rather have the system warn you that you've written something redundant? Because it's hardly likely a human would write the former if they meant the latter.

That's my point though. I am not judging the content of his opinions. I am concerned about the fact that he is voicing them with little care. Everybody has some weird opinions and half-baked ideas. It's very different to have these thoughts in your head vs sharing them with friends and family or to to voice them to 160 million followers. He can think in private whatever he wants and I wouldn't care or judge him unless it starts to impact other people. I think lots of weird shit, but it just makes my wife roll her eyes.

Biggest complaints with the LEAF or ARIYA?
Once I was riding a train, and the conductor announced that only some cars would open their doors at the upcoming station, because the train was longer than the platform.

"I wonder why?" A stranger mused.

"I know," her companion sneered, "it's because some engineer designed it."

She wasn't wrong per say, an engineer had designed the platform - a hundred years ago, for a different train. The train we were riding had squeeked through the legislature on a shoestring budget, reusing the existing tracks and with only a few new platforms slated to be built. And many of those were axed along the way due to budget overruns and such. It was a political miracle the train existed at all.

But this passenger wasn't really looking for context. She had stereotypes and narratives that explained the situation to her satisfaction.

Are you quite sure that you are engaging your faculties of critical thinking here, rather than relying on narratives and stereotypes? Does it really seem likely to you that the people doing the work you're most familiar with are the only people capable of thinking critically? Or that the feedback loops that you've had in your career are the only ones available?

The lines on the road are incorrect in the video; the pink car should not have been able to go straight.

Based on the lines used in the 2-lane roundabout in the video in question, all right lane entrances should be forced to take the first exit.

Does the average include people who don't speak English? If about 4% of the world's population are native speakers and the number of words known tails off after that I can imagine it could almost be approximately true. And maybe we are counting babies in English majority countries as native speakers but they haven't learned all their 20k words yet. Of course GP's point is still invalid in that case.

> They (the Ukrainians) requested that he re-enable it in that area specifically so that mass murder could be conducted with it

Let me see if I have this right. We know that the Russian government spends inordinate time and money intentionally spreading false propaganda on the internet. We know Russia loves Musk because he supports their illegal invasion of Ukraine. We see sneak here talking about how the "existing geopolitical engineers" (unspecified; is this a dog whistle?) hate Musk because he's so strong, and how Ukraine is committing "mass murder" for resisting the illegal invasion of their country. And I get flagged for calling him a Russian propagandist? Are we really doing the Emperor's New Clothes thing? Can we not just call a spade a spade here?

I get "assume good faith" -- it's a good rule -- but does it really have no limits? We really have to assume good faith in those who are claiming that destroying military targets that are being used by Russia in an illegal invasion of your country is tantamount to mass murder?
In my experience of using both, AWS AppRunner is as good as Cloud Run except you can’t scale AppRunner down to 0 instances so it has an ongoing cost.

If it can't get profitable (or at least within $1B/year of profitable, or have some sort of major loss leader value to Google) then I'd give it 90% likelihood they they announce a shutdown within 10 years.

Accessibility -- native keyboard shortcuts often work better in native apps, and a lot of Electron apps aren't navigable at all without a mouse or with a screen reader.

Lower memory usage than a chromium instance.

Visual consistency.

And, subjectively, the knowledge that the app developer has put more than the minimum effort into the product. I'm not saying that great Electron apps don't exist -- in fact, my current favorite Jellyfin player is one -- but on average, even the best Electron app is worse than a middle-of-the-road native app.

In my case Xfinity kept the same IP for me for two years, then an outage happened where everyone in the neighborhood lost connectivity. When connectivity was restored I got a different IP.

Has Cloud Functions solved their logging issues yet?

Last I checked, the lifetime of the function was bound to the lifetime of the request. So you have to fully flush your logs to their log ingress service before you respond to a request, otherwise GCP will suspend the function and eat your logs.

Originally, this resulted in me having - to my surprise - very few logs coming from my functions.

Once I discovered what was going on, it resulted in me having to increase the latency of responding to the request while I waited for logging to flush to GCP's log ingress service.

I disagree. As a pedestrian, I only have to worry about cars coming from 2 directions (on to/off the roundabout) instead of 4 at an intersection.

I'm confused by your comment that drivers merging into a roundabout are too distracted.

As a driver merging into a roundabout I find I have far less cognitive load. I only have to look for pedestrians crossing in front of me and cars coming from the left. When coming off the roundabout I only have to check for pedestrians crossing the exit I want to take.

At an intersection, all these checks are mashed together into. I have to keep track of all the cars at the intersection plus the pedestrians that may be crossing in front of me and the exit I want to take.
Keyboard Maestro has a CLI too. These aren’t mutually exclusive things, you can have well-designed GUI and well-designed TUI software. I would argue that while Linux has some of the latter (I am absolutely unwilling to give Linux credit for all command-line/text-based applications), it has very, very, very little of the former, largely due to a dev culture that dismisses and diminishes the importance of good design.

> In USA if police doesn't know it breaks your rights it cannot be sued directly. Qualified immunity I think.

This is a misstatement of the rule. Qualified immunity applies if the alleged action would not have violated a "clearly established Constitutional right", which does not depend on the personal knowledge of the individual being sued. (It's also applies to all public employees/officers, not just police, though its application in the domain of policing has frequently been controversial.)
The paper does imply that, but I would disagree that it is more hardened. I would guess that this strict process per tab model is Safari's attempt to get some degree of isolation despite not having true site isolation.

Non-same-origin opener references only allow very restricted operations. It is possible that there are undiscovered issues, but it is a lot less powerful than running in the same process. It isn't like having a raw pointer from one window to another.

All of the smack talk about AWS rings true in my experience. The documentation is terrible and incomplete.

That said… there's one MASSIVE reason I trust AWS over GCP.

Google has a knack for killing products/services. Even when they seem to be popular. You don't know if a service will exist next week. But you took the time to invest in the ecosystem and get to know the offering…

But Google does what Google does, and off to the pile it goes.
People’s willingness to buy very low yield government bonds is independent from people willing to make high risk investments in private companies. Trying to get people in group A to make investments of type B through government action is the kind of central planning you don’t want.

Cities taking advantage of people with ultra low risk tolerance to make infrastructure investments at ultra low rates that only make sense with very long time horizons is dependent on markets.
