Always has been. You think there was such a thing as “French” a thousand years ago? Are people from Munich really that different than Vienna? Do folks in Geneva really differ deeply from people in Lyon?

Europe is very small. From Kyev, capital of Ukraine, to Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia, it’s about the same distance as San Francisco to Los Angeles. Yet it crosses 3 countries.

Kings and governments come and go, but the people stay. My great grandma, for example, lived in 4 different countries without leaving her village.
The majority of Wine contributions comes from CodeWeavers, the company providing commercial support for Wine and working on Proton with Valve. Google is funding development of Wayland support on Wine which is being worked on by a Collabora developer. This is so far from doing this just 'for fun', though I'm sure most of them actually have fun working on this.

Status Quo seems to be working just fine?
Ahh New York, let me tell you how Californians get around this without needing a “fake plate”:

* just take it off completely, who’s checking?

* thick black plastic license plate cover. Everybody’s got them.

* front plate optional!

* buy one of those “digital” license plates and just set it to show the car logo instead of ID. Teslas do it!

I’m just kidding by the way, California really needs to fix this problem too. The punishment for fake plates needs to be having the plate number ground on to your roof or something else permanent and embarrassing. Maybe welding a transponder to your engine block.
Who pays for the phone number may not have anything to do with who's using the phone number. It's not like the old days where everything has a copper wire going to one particular place.

The reason for the downfall of SRI, the company led by Engelbart to develop NLS, can be discovered in The Network Revolution – confessions of a computer scientist (1982) by Jacques Vallée, specifically in chapter 5, “Knowledge Workers of the World, link up!”: <https://books.google.com/books?id=6f8VqnZaPQwC&pg=PA97>

It contains a partial and anonymized (all names have been changed) retelling about the initial decline of SRI. To summarize, they all became entranced with the cult-like Erhard Seminars Training, except the smart people, who left because they didn’t like it.
1. The overwhelming majority of outerboro working class people are not driving in NYC.

Only about 30% of NYCers even own cars.

2. This only impacts a small part of Manhattan and for certain hours in the day. The only thing it does is encourages those who can move their travel away from peak hours to do so. This will greatly help all the people driving in as well.

3. This will greatly save many lives through reduced pollution and reduced car crashes.

4. This will help bus services etc which service far more working class people from the outer boros than private cars.

5. Congestion pricing has worked very well and been expanded everywhere it’s tried. There’s no evidence of it hurting working class people anywhere. And the parts of Manhattan this affects might be the most densely populated in terms of public transport.

I am pretty sure teen boys were just as stupid in the field, army, or trades as they are now in class.

Maybe the "letting them roam free" part is different here, but working in the fields wasn't free roaming. And I am pretty sure teen boys have defied social expectations since teen boys and social expectations have existed. From a social standpoint, it is pretty much the definition of adolescence, breaking the rules and all that. And I am sure they had their own form of therapy back in the days, maybe with more corporal punishment, but similar ideas in that teen boys have to be "fixed".
The US is a huge market with rules and culture completely different from the rest of the world. If you're building a product for the US market, you just can't beat a local team, who understand the customs, regulations and don't need user journeys explained to them in too much detail.

Are we always going to need millions of javascript developers? Possibly not, productivity gains might outpace demand. But people can retrain on things that are in high demand.
P2P connection in the runtime will make a huge difference for apps - outside pressure like this (and React Native) is what ultimately drives the web platform forward.
Which still doesn’t efficiently serve the outerboros? Why should they have to spend 2 hours in a train each way instead of 45 mins in a car?
Low emission zones should be called instead "no poor people zones" which is what in practice they are.
They don't so much backdoor the keying as that they have 4 different cipher profiles, and the one approved for global rather than European use (TEA1) compresses the key from 80 to 32 bits.

It's essentially a surreptitious version of what the US did in the 1990s with "export ciphers".

> ’The city will charge $15 to passenger cars that enter the central strip of Manhattan, $24 to vans and $36 to buses and large trucks.’

Shouldn’t they charge progressive less the higher the occupancy is of the vehicle.

This pricing seems backwards to me.
Go hang out on any village street during street parking hours and tell them they aren’t working class to their face.
When the income pays for more transit and reduces transit times for buses, why would the public want to stop that trend?

I’m still waiting for the suspension, road/wind noise, and AUTO WIPERS, to be fixed via software update. Model S Plaid, by the way.
True and so too have the expectations of services from the public.
> Europe missed the internet

What the EU doesn't have is large scale social networks, and large scale "infrastructure" companies (the likes of Google and AWS) but it is missing less than what your average US perspective sees. No wonder most US companies sell a lot to Europe (including B2B).

> is dependent on US hardware, US software and US services

True. And the US (and the rest of the world) is dependent on HW produced on TSMC and assembled in China. It truly sucks
Immediate public disclosure.
My point — that I perhaps didn't articulate directly — was that SQL is a bad "instrument" for noodling around with data in a way that actually gives you "a handle on the basics."

Implementing the sorts of things you'd use SQL to do, but using an in-memory bag-of-tuples data structure in a functional language, is a much better way to learn those basics. There's far less "grammatical magic" involved (where one extra word in the statement changes the way every step does its work); instead, each relational-algebra operation — each of what an RDBMS would call a "query-plan node" — is something you're directly describing with a line of code.

Leaning on your analogy of music:

Building an intuition for relational-algebra by using functions of Set and Tuple ADTs to transform bag-of-tuples-typed data in a programming language, is like building an intuition for music by trying to hit the keys on a piano according to a score.

Building an intuition for relational-algebra through SQL, meanwhile, is like building an intuition for music by wiring together VST modules in a DAW, to automatically generate sequences of notes, apply effects to them, level them, combine them in various ways, etc. And not even directly/interactively/visually like you'd usually use a DAW, but instead, by describing the wiring diagram using some sort of purely-textual high-level declarative VST-wiring DSL. (You only even get the visual equivalent of your VST-wiring-DSL code, if you use SQL EXPLAIN — which only works on 100%-valid SQL, so isn't great as a debugging tool for confused newbies! — and then feed the EXPLAINation into a visualizer like https://explain.dalibo.com/.)

Once you have a really solid intuition for music, you might be able to sit down and write a VST-wiring-DSL query that outputs exactly the notes you want on your first try. Just like someone who has built a really solid intuition for finite-state automata, can get a regular expression right on the first go. But neither regexps nor SQL are a good way of developing the intuition for the way the underlying formalism is "being driven" by the abstract program.

If you want to understand regexps well, you should first do what the regexp would be doing for you. Write your own string parser, as a finite-state automata module, consuming characters (and potentially keeping a lookbehind buffer), and outputting matches and captures.

If you want to understand SQL well, you should first do what the SQL query planner would be doing for you. Implement your own query plan, using a chain of function calls to something like Clojure's lazy-sequence functions, or to Elixir's Enum and Stream modules.
I didn't spend a week misunderstanding you (I hope you realize you wrote a lot more than the one sentence you referred back to), I miswrote one line in one comment out of dozens that you've now latched onto. That's fine, but it doesn't hold as a meaningful disagreement to what I've said here, a fact I bet you hoped I'd miss.

My presumption here is you'd rather now talk about the argument instead of continue with the argument because you realize I'm correct, and piracy is immoral in the general case.
I don't have a Tesla, largely because I don't trust them due to all of the hype. Hype which is largely driven directly by Musk. That said, they are good cars for a lot of people and the sales numbers reflect that.

Are you saying that because you don't think Musk is trustworthy, others shouldn't be buying these cars?
One of the commonly mentioned performance advantages of ECSs is the structure of arrays style, which Murder isn't using, so I'm guessing that they're using ECS less for performance reasons and more because they favor the programming style.

This is amazing. I will actually pay for this.

Also cool to note that this service sequences your entire genome and lets you download the raw data. Which is not something 23 and Me offers.

You can open the data in an open source genome browser and read the raw information that encodes you. Which I just think is the coolest
As someone that does mostly city driving and is the perfect use case for an EV, I've avoided Tesla because I don't want anyone thinking I support Musk. The man has done significant damage to the brand.

That and I really hate the lack of tactile buttons in those cars, and their love for a clearly unsafe "full self driving" solution
A professional roaster told me at least a week. I brought them green beans which they roasted and phoned me after a week (telling me that before that would be too soon and taking a chance) to come pick up.
Seems naive to me. For one, countries have committed suicide before. And Putin has repeatedly claimed that Ukraine is not a real country, that it's a part of his country lured away by the West. I'm pretty sure his ideal scenario is for Ukraine to return to Russia and the countries of the Warsaw Pact to return under Russia's sphere of influence. Remember, Austria used to be the buffer state in those days.
As a Manhattan resident, I’m excited. There should be at least one city in the USA built for people instead of cars. I understand it’s not for everybody, but 75% of the residential space in the county is only zoned for insipid, paved single-family home suburban hellscapes. Leave one city for people who want a European-style walkable city.
The newsworthy item here is that this is an intentional backdoor. The wikipedia pages list the specific uses per country and department. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_Trunked_Radio#Usag...
If this is a dictatorship then is a very peculiar one, with the power more split than never in the entire democracy. Literally tens of political parties sharing power in the government. Any of them could let fall the "dictator" at any time.

Either this is the opposite to dictatorship, or maybe we will need to redefine a lot of classical democracies with most power concentrated in one party at a time.

About the right, they only can blame themselves. Is very ironic that they are blaming everybody for the same own situation what they, and only they, could have been stopped at any time. They didn't even tried to play. Choose to stop breathing instead.

And don't make me start talking about the Doñana's national park fiasco. Probably one of the most stupid right party plots to assure to lose voters weeks before an election.
I know atrocities happened, at the hands of Hamas, on oct7. I've seen plenty proof. The IDF's response was a reason a lot more civs died on that day than otherwise would have been (I believe).

I want proof of the 40 babies story, or it simply did not happen. Israel govt released data showing only 1 infant died (possible "collateral" as well).

I have no trust in these blown up stories that seem to have no proof, and quickly blow over. Remember the "killing babies from incubators" lie that was told by the Kuweiti ambassador's daughter back when Iraq invaded Kuweit? It was proven to be a lie.

Your links do not show clear proof of your claims. So, politely, please back it up, or stop spreading lies.

China’s progress in low-carbon energy is one of the few bright spots in a world that is otherwise facing a lot of challenges. It’s pretty embarrassing watching folks in the West fiddle around and debate whether it’s even possible to decarbonize, while China just goes ahead and does it.

On the flipside, it’s also hard not to notice that China’s energy revolution (including massive growth in renewables, batteries, EVs, nuclear and coal plant construction) has the incidental effect of making the country massively less reliant on imported energy, especially compared to all of the more Western-allied Asian nations. A less optimistic observation is that this could be less about climate change than it is about positioning China to be resilient to an imminent conflict that threatens global oil supply lines.
My alternative are things that, unfortunately, would never fly politically:

1) Regulate urban business density in coastal cities and cities more generally limited by water.

2) More multi-core metropolises where the highest <edit: business> density is either spread out entirely, or spread to multiple districts sufficiently far away from each other.

Edit: The comment by hamandcheese showed I had forgotten this important modifier for point 2.
Many times the slots are all taken. Then there's the cost. These things cost money. Add commute spending and many people can't really afford both commute for them and morning and afternoon clubs for their kids.

Throwing out intellectual property absolutely would stop the vast majority of the art made today from being made. We've had an explosion of art once we entered into an understanding that the creators of a work have control over how that work is used. Getting rid of that would kill film, television, and music. Would people still make these things? Yes. But not nearly at the quality or quantity we see today.
That is progressively less per person even though it's not less per vehicle.
The billion dollars a year might help change that. Why should they have to? The case has already been made by the city.
If they “only” managed to kill this amount of people with that amount of (much more modern) explosives, isn’t that proof in itself that they don’t want to deal maximal casualties? Or otherwise they are very bad at it.

With that said, any amount of civilian death is tragic - and we should absolutely mandate Israel to be as specific in their attacks as possible. But 0 civilian casualty is impossible to achieve. What we can know, even according to the biased hamas numbers, they are roughly in the 2 civilian to 1 military personnel ratio, which is absolutely realistic given the circumstances/other modern warfares, etc. Feel free to refute this statement of mine, if you do believe that they “want to kill as many civilians as possible”.
If by “market power” you mean a desire to invade Taiwan, debt-trap diplomacy, the open pursuit of totalitarian norms replacing Western ones globally, and territorial acquisitiveness in opposition to international law (just to name a few things) then yeah, sure, that’s what it is.

But even then, if you want a partner who is close to China but not beholden to China, and for historical reasons will probably never be, then Vietnam is a great choice.

Is there any evidence that Vietnam would be as belligerent as China, were it only a little richer?
