> Can you point at actual suburbs

Not the OP but when I lived in the US as an exchange student I lived in a suburb that looked exactly like the one in this video[1], which seems to be a fairly typical middle class neighborhood.

Like him I had the same experience of barely being able to walk anywhere, given how little space there even is for pedestrians.

The commission isn't even "wannabe dictators", it's just where national governments policy-launder all their unpopular bills to. If something is going to piss off their citizens[0], they make the Commission make them do it, then blame the EU.

The specific reason why policy laundering is possible is because international organizations are only accountable to their member states and not citizens. Making them accountable to citizens means getting rid of those member state vetos and having direct elected Commissioners instead - i.e. moving closer to a federal model of Europe.

In America, we used to appoint Senators rather than electing them, as a vestige of pre-federal America where states were supposed to actually be co-sovereigns. The result was that - once Americans figured out how to use their political power effectively - every state gubernatorial race became a proxy vote for Senate anyway. I suspect we need something like this to happen in the EU, where politicians precommit to specific Commissioner appointments, until this becomes enough of a problem that the EU decides to make Commissioners elected.

It sounds like the “blinking animation” you’re encountering is a feature known as Spring-Loaded Folders, which has been a part of macOS since the 90s.

It’s intended to make it easier to move files and folders around without first opening a window for the destination. If you hold the dragged file over a folder a moment longer, the target folder will open in a new window where you can either drop the file or navigate more deeply by repeating the process.

To avoid this behavior, drop dragged files in the destination folders before the spring loading triggers.
Above the Kármán line. AFAICT, it didn't say how far above.

I'd be interested in knowing how much orbital debris has been created. If it's right above the line, probably not much with a significant life, as most bits will de-orbit with the atmospheric friction. But higher...?
Renters are generally much less likely to vote and so their issues get less attention.

That’s incorrect. The 3rd Geneva convention of 1949 says only combatant are prisoners of war: members of the armed forces, members of militia, etc.

My experience buying laptops in 2023 was that most of what I found was cheap junk. Even when I was buying stuff in the $1800-$2500 price range, it was mostly junk with build quality problems, incomplete support for the hardware (USB-C especially being an issue), and terrible thermals.

I don't really like Apple as a company but I just hand them money and they give me a laptop that works without any nonsense. Maybe I'm just too old and overpaid nowadays but I legitimately feel like laptop manufacturers other than Apple are in a self-destructive race-to-the-bottom with each other.

Memory is so weird... I feel like I saw it in person. But given that the site was started in 2008, and some other details I remember about the talk would indicate that I must have heard it at least a year after it launched, I can't figure out a venue where I would have seen it in person -- the most likely venue being a talk at uni, and I was long out of university at that point.

Why at least a year after? I also remember the speaker relating a conversation he had with someone from whom it seems like he was asking for money: maybe a VC? The VC told the speaker, "I sat on a plane next to somebody who told me he doesn't answer anything on stackoverflow any more because all the questions are answered too quickly." And the speaker responded, "So wait. You talked to a random person on a plane. This person had heard of my website. And his main complaint was that questions were answered too quickly?"

Wikipedia says SO did get VC funding in 2010, so that sort of matches; and quote from sibling comment is along the same lines. So I don't think I'm imagining things, but I also don't think I'm going to be able to give much more information. :-)

Amazon expects me to weaken my physical security posture to help them defend against an activity I don't engage in and is in no way my responsibility?

Chamberlain expects me to weaken my digital security posture so they can run some opaque crap on my network¹ that I have very little observability into and even less control over so they can make money?

Money is one hell of a drug because they are high.

How about amazon builds (at their expense) an amazon controlled box, slap a mcu on, do authentication over nfc, rfid, etc etc. Offer it to customers free of charge, hell throw in a sweetener to get them to adopt.

> Surely if it's that big of an issue they could call the police station and arrange a more discrete venue?

I think that's a bit more than can be reasonably expected of someone who is in active danger and afraid.

There does need to be some way that people can go to the police without being at risk of exposure by "first amendment auditors", but it's hard to see how that could happen. The people doing the recording would probably demand the right to record in any other place that is set aside for such purposes as well.

That's why this is a really difficult issue. The ruling may be technically correct, but it seems to me that this practice does more harm than good.
>On the contrary: you've changed the housing supply in your town.

Obvs every market is going to have its nuances and differences... in my area, the largest city banned new STR a few years ago - and absolutely nothing changed. Ironically, the smaller city next door that didn't ban is growing and thriving on multiple levels in ways the town that banned is not. Likewise, because the county (and next county over as well, which is just a few mile away) didn't ban, all it really meant was that city that put in place a ban received less tourism tax revenue while all the other entities benefitted.

The other nuance I was trying to communicate - we had a lot of housing built during the war to support the training base. They are great little houses for a weekend visit, but they stink as permanent dwellings. This is a part of the supply / inventory problem I don't hear discussed enough. For example, if you have a ton of 4000 square foot houses ($$$$) but your buyers are all first-time / first-upgrade types ($$), you've still got an inventory problem.

Did we ever stop to consider the theory of harm of CSAM circulating in private communications? Because I don't see how bytes being copied around in secret actually hurts children in any meaningful way.

Obviously it is wrong to create child porn intentionally. But that's already illegal and people who do this are laughably bad at ITSEC. Like seriously, read the stories of CSAM making "studios" who got caught. Either law enforcement is so bad that any remotely shrewd criminal defeats them, either the criminals are just not all that technically savvy. Either way, the tools to catch actual child molesters are effective and adequate.
And nobody is allowed to research in which instances they are correct.

There is a positive correlation between IQ and corrective vision, so this in turn leads to stereotyping as "those with glasses are higher IQ". There are so many problems caused by Griggs v Ohio (which banned IQ tests for employment).
What matters is what the word jihad means in Persian, not Arabic. Both of your links point out that jihad was added during/after the Islamic Revolution, when the country was swept by a wave of religious fervor. Unless a Persian speaker contradicts me, I think my point stands.
Before he returned, he merely oversaw one faction among many, and should not be singled out as the one leader at that stage. Iran's post 1979 government may well have gone in a completely different direction if he had not personally returned.

People familiar with this history get frustrated by the description you give, it is simply inaccurate. It is similar to the common misconception that the Bolsheviks in Russia overthrew the tsar, when the tsar had already been deposed months before (in the February Revolution) when Lenin returned from exile and launched the October Revolution.
I feel like Cal Poly SLO prepped me for “real programming” relatively well. The software engineering major has a year long capstone program building software for a real company. I built a scriptable GPS emulator for Trimble. I was also required to do a work study to use software engineering to the benefit of someone other than software engineers (I worked on real estate).
I don't have any automated GPT processes for teaching (though I'm going to tinker in December with the new GPTs), but I use for generating examples. It takes some coaxing to avoid other common examples from other institutions, but I eventually settle on something relevant, memorable, and that I can build off from. If its a particular algorithm I am covering, I've then used it to walkthrough the algorithm with some dummy values before confirming the calculations and values are correct. It will still slip up on occasion, but that's why I'm still confirming it did everything correctly.
The next law I want passed:

The "Cars can't require a network connection" law: Any external network connection must be disclosed to the user. The car must come with instructions how to disable it, (which must be a user serviceable physical hardware switch, fuse, jumper, etc). All functions of the car must remain permanently operable with no nagging of the user to reconnect, other than an optional initial prompt to inform the user of the change. 0 repercussions may be brought on the user for disabling the network connection, such as 'we can't diagnose/fix your steering because it can't connect to the network' or 'we can't update your infotainment system with your network connection disabled', as those updates could easily be done via the OBDII port.

Hell while we're at it, pass this same thing for robot vacuums, garage door openers, and 1000 other "smart" devices.

Glicol has a synth-like syntax, trying to balance the simplicity and readability needed for live coding music performances.

This syntax is also deeply integrated with the customised audio engine under the hood. And this audio engine can be used as an independent Rust audio library.

You can also use Glicol's DSL in Rust projects.

There are many use cases in this YouTube channel, such as Glicol running on Bela, functioning as a VST, and as a CLI tool:

It's not just that someone is making money. It's not a friendly old man at the local bookstore giving you recommendations based on your tastes. It's a system where all of the battery vendors are bidding in real time to be the one you see, and the most dodgy one with the best margins is the one that can place the best bid, causing you to get the worst possible deal.

These systems are not for your benefit. They are meant to use any information they can to extract more from you.
I'm just starting to learn Elixir, but for other languages as you type in the code editor in an IDE it will auto-suggest method names and method arguments based on the libraries/modules you have included in your project.

Eclipse got this right, but the JetBrains IDEs (such as IntelliJ and CLion) are a bit heavy-handed.
That is actually a bit scary considering that, this supposedly means that the women either give birth to more male than female or that women don't give birth at all inside UAE, or that females are not staying in UAE.

I thought this was going to be about the detection of a giant ring system around an exoplanet, but it's merely in reference to diameter and mass. Maybe that's a particularly interesting size for an exoplanet but as far as I know it's not.
There are loads of people who believe this but who are mistaken. Typically they are underestimating the value of services delivered to them for free at the point of use. We don't know your individual situation of course, but it's true in the aggregate.
We have a pretty good idea at this point. Batteries should last longer than the average lifespan of the car. There will be a bathtub curve for sure, but generally, it's not a huge issue. My 2013 leaf battery still has 80% and while its an issue for the leaf and it's already dismal range, it's not a huge concern on cars that have 100s of miles of range.

One perspective I've been thinking about lately is how the rise of Crypto has been hugely beneficial for AI, in the same way that the dot-com bubble was hugely beneficial for the internet.

Essentially Crypto lead to huge investment into GPUs and GPU technology, and then once Crypto collapsed lead to a huge capacity of compute power which then decidedly was put into AI.

I doubt that investment into GPU technology would have been driven by the idea of AI alone. Something manic like Crypto had to drive it initially. Without Crypto, I imagine the AI revolution we're seeing today would not have taken place.

I'd think that if you touched old wells without permission or government support, you'd end up owning the well caps and future emissions, so if your "fixed" well is discovered to be leaking next year, the owner is going to say "We capped it off properly, those guys must have caused the leak when they "fixed" it, now it's their problem".

Funding for the sciences is always welcome; it's going to be interesting to see what SETI does with this money.

Seeing this news makes me wish more donors donated to science at the department level, or to every lab in a given department. Money is so incredibly tight in Academia that the entry level job (being a graduate student) typically gives people around minimum wage or less for five years to make a life with. This is an absolutely terrible incentive for attracting some of the best and the brightest to enter the funnel of knowledge production workers (e.g. grad students, post-docs, researchers, and professors.)

I don't know how this can be fixed systemically, but donors could help change the incentives and improve the quality of science for all.
I think it's due to migrant labor. Many people travel from surrounding countries to work because the UAE is incredibly rich.

In response to your edit, what you’re still missing is that a household that decides not to sell (and thus withhold inventory from the market) is also a household that is not entering the market on the demand side.

So, to a first order approximation, there is no change to ratio of supply to demand. The absolute level or supply is irrelevant. The absolute level of demand is also irrelevant. What matters is the amount of supply relative to demand.

It does not matter to the overall supply and demand picture if someone “can’t afford to sell” because they also can’t afford to buy. People who do have to sell will get fewer offers, and so people who are still in the market to buy have less competition.

What really matters is how many renters are converting to buyers, how many owners are dying or moving to nursing homes, and how many investors are buying or selling rental units. Higher interest rates tend to have little effect on mortality, but do discourage first-time homeowners and investors.
I made a CLI tool called Promptr that takes care of this for you if you're interested:
https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr

You just prompt it directly or with a file, and it applies the changes to your file system. There's also a templating system that allows you to reference other files from your prompt file if you want to have a shared prompt file that contains project conventions etc.
The vscode extension builds are including your full source code and node_modules directory which makes it 21 mb. You can reduce the size (and potentially keep your code less easily reversable) by excluding those from the final package
Mainly just defaults. In the US, SMS was always pretty dominant. We didn't gravitate to a single third-party platform like Whatsapp or FB Messenger or Telegram like a lot of people in other countries did. So in practice we all have lots of messaging apps installed on our phones, and SMS is still widely used.

Messages is installed by default on iPhones, so people who are used to using SMS (most people) just use iMessage, and if they're communicating with someone without an iPhone, the app just degrades back to SMS.
No. This is driven by a huge reliance on foreign migrant labor, which is overwhelmingly male.
in addition there is a scaling factor. it's easy to control mistakes when you have 1 well. hard to control mistakes when you have 10,000,000 wells. thus the regulation has to be mapped appropriately.

also, I'd be interested in seeing p90, p99, etc. to see if outliers affect the average that is reported -- because as texas probably has larger 100x production, average is exposed to more large incidents.

i would be MOST interested to compare against other similar "sovereign entity" with comparable production scale and comparable challenges e.g. geography and infra.

the US has a huge environmental benefit in producing oil vs entity's like China, Saudi Arabia, because as a transparent democracy we are able to hold our producers accountable to regulation where offshore producers have no transparency and accountability.
Maybe? Dark clothing is generally something I find attractive, and unless exceptionally baggy, I can get a pretty decent idea of body type. I think it's the more utilitarian "vibe". If you're not thinking about matching colors, you probably have a more utilitarian mindset.

This applies to male engineers too, except there's other more important signals there.
