"On time" is a metric that is focused on heavily, but to me it's meaningless. The LIRR is "on time" via schedule padding; a 50 mile trip to Ronkonkoma takes 80 minutes on the fastest express train. With line speeds largely 80mph throughout the route, commuters are robbed of an hour every single day. But hey, at least the "on time performance" metric is at 99%. Easy to do when your average speed is 37mph on 80mph track.

The LIRR Today has a great article, that I cannot for the life of me find, where the author used train speed data between stations to figure out what speed "most trains" accomplished (so accounting for curves, station stops, etc.) and redid the schedules according to that data. Without padding, everyone that uses the LIRR would save hours a week in commuting.

Incidentally, the LIRR has been moving away from higher train speeds and better connections to reduce travel time in favor of arriving at terminals within 6 minutes of the scheduled time. Schedule padding, replacing 80mph switches with 60mph switches (for the Elmont work), and removing all scheduled connections at Jamaica. I think it's crazy and I'm glad I don't commute to the city from Long Island. The connections at Jamaica disappearing is the most sad to me; that station has a really unique setup where 3 trains arrive at once, and you can transfer through the middle train to get to the other two destinations. It used to work like clockwork, but obviously if the middle train is late, the OTP for 3 trains decreases. Since that's the metric they care about, and not "can I get from any city terminal to any destination easily", that's what gets optimized out. I don't think it's good. It's nice if the trains run on time, but I'd rather be 20 minutes late once a week than spend an extra 5 hours on the train every week. But, not what the agency values.

> The video spends about half its time on the phenomenon of restaurants that are all relabeled versions of the same core concept --- that's, like, annoying, like I would feel taken if I ordered from a "restaurant" and really it was just one of 7 interchangeable labels for the same place, but it's not materially damaging in any way.

There's a restaurant on Polk St that does this with Ubereats. I know their address based on seeing it a few times and have learned not to order from it.

Here's a list, I won't add links because they're too long, but you can find them all on Ubereats. This restaurant from the outside is "Fresco Pizza Shawarma", here's nine storefronts they have on Ubereats.

- Ma's Meatballs

- Big Daddy's Wings

- Chateau Shawarma

- Angry Chicken

- Uncle Sam's Pizza

- Polk St Pizza

- Wingman Co.

- Little Italy's Calzones

- Little Italy Pasta

They probably have more too this was just a quick search. It's spammy and I've learned to check the address of restaurants to see if they're a "ghost kitchen". I suspect a lot of "real" restaurants with just one authentic storefront get drowned out in the "ghost kitchen" spam.

According to whom are they considered experts? After how the government deals with COVID I don't trust "the medical consensus" which is code for "things I want you, the mainstream to agree with". Why would they be "experts"? What expertise do they have? It's not based on the best credentials, it's a job.

They're nameless government entities. Depending if you feel knowledge always grows you may change your ideas. Waves of ignorance litter the medical field today, as hysteria was accepted as the only disease women could have: the wandering womb theory. Consensus of ignorance is still ignorance.

There's no real evidence that high red meat is bad. There's no evidence that eating more veggies is bad.
How are the twitter alternatives doing? The last I checked maybe 6 months ago, it seemed like:

- mastadon was too complex for normal people

- threads was scary, due to meta, and tried to bury discussions about anything controversial

- bluesky was unable to handle the load, and was trickling invite codes out very slowly.

Has anything changed?

The military planes are hit or miss for what they put out in terms of position. Most will do Mode S transponder, which does not, by itself, include position. But if you get enough of these ADS-B receivers in an area, they can triangulate the position.

Every few weeks we have "mean jets" (what our 3 year old calls fighter jets, I think from the Iron Giant) buzz our house near KBJC going in for landing/taking off. They're super loud and often gone before you can get outside to see them (they leave at 400+ kts).
I ordered dinner online periodically over the past three years (for a family of five.) About once a month for the first two years and then only once every 3 months (very begrudgingly) during the last year. Now basically none whatsoever simply because the quality keeps dropping off.
Leaving gives advertisers an opportunity to measure the ROI of their ad spend to a degree they can't usually acheive. Rolling out a campaign is usually speculative and many were initiated when Twitter was exponentially growing, making quantitative assessment hard. Twitter (and the market) is no longer in that state.

Whether they return probably has more to do with what they discover in this de facto A:B test than whether users stay or leave.

And if they don't return, ad pricing will plummet and draw in more cheap and scam/fringe-market ads, changing the feel of the site for users.

Musk is suing Media Matters not just because of his personal ego or sense of principle, but because the advertiser bleed it triggered could become a really bad thing for his darling.

It seems there should be a solution for simplifying the complexities of the pinsetter without requiring a string attached to each pin.

https://archive.ph/ZbXcv - poor article that is below The Economist's usual standard.

The article states that obese people get paid less only due to discrimination - perhaps to create a narrative.

It completely ignores the obvious correlation: are people that control their weight successfully, likely to be better at earning money?

I suspect both factors are relevant. Fat discrimination definitely exists but I suspect it isn't the dominant factor. Instead in my experience the people that can keep their weight reasonable (through diet, exercise, control, etcetera) have personal drive/skills that directly translates to doing much better in the job market.

There is perhaps the opposite population selection bias too. There are people who would naturally be fat who work hard to be thin, yet those people get lumped in with the low BMI people.

Or another hidden variable: "health selection significantly determines individuals’ life outcomes." - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ssqu.13320 - what is health versus obesity?

Yeah, like I said, for some projects I could see it being a net positive: using GPL almost certainly increases the ratio of contributors:users, which reduces the burden on the maintainer.

Nothing I said disagrees with your statement. In fact, I specifically said they could do better. My point is that it's wrong to say google drive is easy to build or maintain.

> Both are right and just different lenses.

Yes but I am the original poster to bring up how, internally, they probably didn't lose data. I was trying to make a point how despite what users see in the UI, etc, they still have the data.

Both may be right with different lenses, but I've already specified which lens we are talking about here (internally at google, not what people perceive in the UI).

I have tried to keep on-topic to #1, but everyone wants to talk about #2 and how its a valid view. I agree its a valid view, but why can't we have a discussion on #1? I don't care about #2 and there are pleanty of sub-threads about #2. #2 is almost off-topic or irrelevant for what I wanted to bring up.
Yeah, but none of that gets you a solution to a Millennium problem. One needs an AI to do something like what Peter Scholze did in inventing perfectoid spaces or Perelman in introducing his entropy function. You can treat axiom invention as a game, I suppose, but the space of possible moves is uhh rather large.
I wrote a simple program that connects to (default) port 30003 on dump1090-fa (Flightaware version). It parses the ADS-B output and uses Flightaware's AeroAPI (there is a free tier based on requests) to augment with airline, aircraft, and city departure information. I then publish to my MQTT (Mosquitto) broker for planes within 2.1 nautical miles (i.e. I can visually make them out).

An MQTT client on an RPi3 (Linux) subscribes to those messages and uses a TTS service (Azure) to generate a wave file. I then use USB audio (this might have been the hardest part) to play it to me while I sit on my patio and watch local planes fly by.

I live near a couple major airports, so most of the planes are easy to spot (~5000 MSL). It's a simple pleasure.
Yeah, and doping makes it easier to win the school soccer game — still few would consider letting their kids do it. That is because the trade offs involved are not worth it at all compared to winning by just training harder.

Don't get me wrong, I am not dogmatically against smartphones/tablets for kids and I understand the pressures parents operate under, but if you want to figure out whether it is good to let your kids do X vs not doing it, you should probably take into account:

- what are the benefits? (claimed: easier learning and socializing, but also: parents don't need to deal with their kids)

- what are the downsides? (there are man studies linking e.g. depression to excessive smartphone use in kids, also: parents don't deal with their kids, smartphones are mostly used for consumption, hard to monitor where the algorithm takes them)

- are there any alternatives that have similar advantages while having less of the bad stuff? (I mentioned books, but of course it might be even feasible to limit the amart phone use to certain times of the day etc.)

And then you weigh those for yourself and decide. This was the point of my post before.

I think at this point I would consider a formatter essential for working with a team. It helps make code style opinionated and fixed and I have no surprises when reading code. No one doing weird formatting to align random things. Any formatting tool that allows for pages upon pages of options is simply not something I want to deal with. Something like black, gofmt and prettier is vital
There’s a strong culture in the Java community which actively encourages this style of programming. I agree - I don’t think it’s an inherent part of the Java programming language. At least not any more - recent versions of Java have a lot of nice features! But you still see a lot of this overly abstracted, “enterprise” Java code in the wild all over the place. I find it easier to just specialise in other languages.

That's true, you're completely correct that income is still a constraint.

However, there are a few other factors that can increase borrowing capacity significantly. First, personal incomes tend to increase over the course of your lifetime as you get promotions. Second, when in a falling interest rate environment your borrowing capacity is increasing at the same time property prices are being pumped up. This is exactly the time when people tap into that equity. Third, you can get a slightly better rate at lower LVRs, which can help a little bit as well. Finally, a lot of the people who use this strategy have very high incomes to begin with and their borrowing is constrained by their available capital, not their incomes. This is why every neurosurgeon has a negatively geared property by the time they reach 30.

The reason this has been a popular strategy for a long time is that interest rates have been falling for the last 30 years. It's not so attractive right now as interest rates are increasing.
All these things are a trade-off; unqualified statements that "sum types make everything simpler" are just wrong, because they don't. Whether it's worth the trade-off is a subjective judgement call and a completely different thing.
The real 'winners' here in the upcoming AI wave will be people with existing platforms. They'll replace staff and pocket the difference. This one was obvious but it soon won't be.

For a previous startup a couple of years ago I tried to get our infra onboarded with terraform, hit a bunch of blockers, switched to Pulumi, and have used it for every project big or small since.

Hits a really nice sweet spot for me -- yes, you want your infra definition to be declarative, but being able to write real code in a real language (Typescript in my case) that generates that declarative infra definition is exactly the right level of abstraction imho.
Before Microsoft bought them they were basically at a standstill and no new features were being added to the product. At least, that's my recollection of it, perhaps someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
A great crowdfunded business would be to sell aftermarket kits for all the enshittified appliances. This somewhat exists already (my samsung fridge had frost buildup on the sensor, causing the fridge cycle to never come on!), so the business would be to cover 95% of all appliances in the last 15 years. The best innovation would be to develop a lego-style board repair kit that can be tailored to any specific model. So the same board can be used (with nominal reconfiguration) to repair/replace a Kenmore icemaker vs a GE. A deeper option would be to sell "retrofit kits" that allow you to gut everything except the motors/compressors/refrig circuitry. Or for a dishwasher, toss all the circuits and just use the frame.

It's the DRM argument - publishers don't stop using Denuvo because someone always manages to crack it, they use it to stop little Timmy from copying Assassins Creed 27 on to a USB drive for his friend Dave.

But doubtlessly, the Porcine Patrollers will manage when it really counts, maybe just not as often.

I gave up trying to be a polite API consumer with GitHub events, etc. Polling the basic resources every minute is way more reliable and your code will survive a junior developer's shenanigans.

I had the REST API e-tag polling working well, but then I discovered my org event stream didn't include label changes. This is a separate thing I needed to poll and at that point I lost my mind. I refuse to keep track of 6+ pieces of state in order to pull essential data from an API.

My current pattern is to list all open issues and then compare their updated_at with persisted copies. If any changes, then I refresh the comments for the issue as well as top-level items (title/body/labels).
