They would be 1.7cm long if they were 100 time smaller than the average human. Seems to check out.

I’m glad you weren’t referring to weight. The average human weighs 60-80kg, depending on what region you’re in. The heaviest spider is the Goliath, grows up to 13cm, but only weighs up to 135grams…
If the infestation is heavy enough they will climb the walls and drop from the ceiling.
Svelte rekindled my love for frontend development - thanks for your efforts!
Lol. That is a fantasy, just like Jurassic Park.
Props for throwing out some MIL-STD reference, sounds always tough and tacticool, and proclaiming a system meets those without any proof.
That is a lot of emotion and politics. How is it important to you? Is it really about birthdays? Relative to most things, IMHO they are pretty innocuous; YMMV of course.

Yeah I figure it would be hard for Bard to go, here's the answer to your question, and by the way, buy Pepsi.
As a percentage of total units in NYC there are effectively no rent-able units withed from the market. The total vacancy rate is about 1.4% right now and and for anything under about $3k/mo it's sub 1%. There are probably a few thousand units being held to get buildings out from under rent control, but the city has 2.1 million or so renter occupied housing units. Even during the height of the pandemic when the well off were fleeing the city, vacancy topped out at ~4%.
I recognized this as being an outtake from the Engineering Explained YouTube channel.

Former Texan here. Property taxes cost quite a bit, far exceeding incremental tax load in areas I've lived out of the state.

Anecdata, but a counterpoint to your general claim.
Doesn't matter what you would call an instance of a criminal, tho. Creepiness happens prior to victimization. Men are more violent. Women are associated with violence less, consequently they are less likely perceived as a risk by default. A sense of danger is required for creepiness.

I think we both know, that's how it is, if we're being honest. no?!

Would you rather hitchhike with a man, or a woman? Would you rather pick up a group of female or male hitchhikers?
> once it does I’m on the hook for paying nearly $200 for a full tank, with a range of about 300 miles.

That seems like terrible $/mile even if you were seeing your original price of roughly half. My cmax (phev, but i rarely charge it) does 500-700 miles on a 14 gallon gas tank depending on speed and style. Even at $7/gallon, that's way better $/mile.
Property tax, sales tax, toll roads in places they shouldn't be, and so forth.
The most plausible theory to me: this is all FCC licensing related, where the owner is operating an FM station that is licensed as an AM station + repeater, but _nobody_ listens to the AM station or cares. Other comments say they haven’t been broadcasting on AM in ~5 years, so it seems likely that it was stolen much earlier and nobody noticed. The Jeff Geerling video kind of supports this, but doesn’t call anyone out since it is speculative. Because if it is true, the station either didn’t notice, or ignored it until the landscapers filed a report, forcing them to address it and pretend like it just happened.
Buffer Overflow in Mixture of Experts
Its not "retaliation" as such, just that for many unskilled jobs having someone show up everyday is the main part of the job. If you want time off they can swap you for someone who'll be there.
Thinking about this more, I'd say the convention wisdom on body-weight exercises is completely backwards. They're terrible for beginners, but can be valuable for people already strong enough to do them. Why are they terrible for beginners? Two reasons, either their potential for improvement is too low, like the pushup or squat, where the average person can get to 5-10 reps pretty quickly- the point at which a given resistance is no longer able to elicit strength gains. Or, the first step is so large that it's effectively unreachable. Pull-ups are great, but if you are a beginner, doing your first pull-up by doing only pull-ups is a great challenge, compared to going to the gym and doing pull-downs or assisted pull-ups starting at an appropriate weight, and making incremental progress. In short, body weight exercises can certainly be challenging, think of a gymnast, but they offer very little in the way of incremental improvement from any starting point, which is what beginners need most.
Anyone who has driven a radio controlled car will know how quickly this will turn into a big problem.
I have lived for a few short times in Berlin and around during the last 10 years.

I have a strong feeling that "worst decor and electrics, terrible ventilation and mould" is indeed an actual high-end housing in Berlin. A modern bright renovated house with brand new appliances would definitely be frowned upon by a typical german landlord.
Police officers aren't exactly high income.

I'd expect living next to a cop to be cheaper, not more expensive.
The problem is that it really adds insult to injury.

In the aforementioned situation, the home owner is both creating equity and saving 25% extra each month.

It creates a very broken situation. But the Dutch government has coddled home owners for four to five decades already. And the real estate market is often zero sum, where advantaging one group disadvantages another.

Time to make home owners bleed for a couple of decades. Balance must be restored.
This exactly. Freezing is useless unless you have something like a lab freezer that gets to -50C. Hot dryer for clothes, and you can put empty luggage in a dark trash bag and leave it in the sun to heat treat.
Watching movies and playing video games are not required to be well rounded and interesting and they do not provide the same intellectual stimulus that reading papers and watching smart people give lectures do.
A cybertruck can put the front wheels in a 90° angle? What is this, a professional drift car?

By the way, if this is true, it is beyond stupid...
PSVR2 is an excellent headset, I’m not buying PCVR until those headsets are on the level of PSVR2. OLED or micro LED is a must, and foveated rendering is good for performance on pixel dense displays. Plus, inside out tracking instead of extra boxes to mount. The main problem is you can’t use it except on PS5.

If you run a health insurance company, you should not be able to deny coverage under any circumnstance.

Yes, it sounds naive, but it is true.
>Don't save electricity. Switch to high efficiency electrical appliances (notably heat pump heating, cooling, water heating)

We can do both - switch everything to electric, and simultaneously adopt habits that limit waste of these.

Obviously, don't save electricity by using carbon intensive energy sources, that'd be counterproductive.

I agree with the rest of your comment.

"arbitrary" <citation needed>
> wherein the cultural products of a society are only tenuously related to its real-world values.

I don't know if Plato does this too, but I'm pretty certain you're making a mistake here. Most (almost all, I would argue) of the shows that feature violence, cheating, drug smuggling etc. present them as cautionary tales: do <this> and <that> will probably happen to you, even if there's a brief period between when you think things are going well.

Human cultures are full of cautionary tales, and in this sense these "countless shows" are not glorifying their themes, but continuing in the tradition of telling us "don't do this (probably)".
Interestingly the article mentioned that some young people raised an
objection that they had "nothing else to do" without their phones.

In response the mayor promised new investment into sports, recreation,
libraries and book sharing... In other words, there's more going on
here than just the "phone ban", but a broader attempt to reconnect and
rehumanise the village life.

My concern is that even with the social and financial will to restore
a more convivial lifestyle, those young people won't be able to
engage. Having been raised by screens they are already so
psychologically altered (damaged?) as to be lost.

The assumption that life can "go back" may be misguided, and that
makes this an experiment worth watching.
No, "the problem" as described is control lag, and decoupled input simply is not the same thing. What you describe as "far from a non-issue" is a characteristic shared by literally every fly/drive-by-wire system. If you trust your Airbus to get you to your destination, you can trust a Cybertruck[1] to get you home. Or if you don't, you need to come to the debate with evidence and not misleading garbage tweets like this one.

[1] Or others. Tesla is not the first company to offer steer-by-wire, just the first to engender this kind of nonsense debate about every decision they make.
What examples of coordination do you have? That have resulted in eg 1,000-100,000 dwellings being built?

Why though? I’m fine with shunning smokers - these directly affect the others in a negative way.

Scrolling seems harmless to others; no reason for me to make it socially unacceptable.
There's something about America that fosters the existence of parasitic middlemen. The story usually begins with a promise of some service or convenience, then reveals itself to just exploit information assymmetry or regulatory capture.
Yes, Arc values are also moved by default. I was referring to both.

People generally care where they live more than they care about the things you describe. Location is the most important factor for most people in real estate purchases - so much so, that it's a cliche.

You are free to have your own preferences, and I'm glad it has worked out well for you. But let's not be incredulous that others have different priorities - that's the human interaction baseline.
It would be even worse in the EU. Here in America, both our pedestrians and our cars are larger, so we’ll at least leave a mark when that monstrosity hits us on autopilot.

I’m only half joking. I’d be worried in the EU because they don’t drive around mostly in SUVs like we do. A cybertruck versus a panda would not go well.
> If the wheels moved as the drive dictated the car would flip over.

Do you mean “… at high speed?” To me, it looks like the person just wants this car to steer the way literally every other car does. Your bicycle analogy — yes, that’s how they work, so pretty quickly you learn how to do that.
I’ve watched many reviews of the cybertruck, including people that have driven thousands of miles with it, and I’ve not heard a single one of them complain about the steering or lag.

So my guess is this tweet with one short video and no additional evidence or reasoning behind their claim is wrong.
I'm old enough to remember when Amazon was a welcome change from the local B&N/Walmart/Target/CVS/BestBuy landscape. Amazon was amazing to have the choice and much lower prices. Sure its maybe too big now but we're all much better for it.
I'm working on a new project, tangentially related.

1. I think there is a desire to be better informed and improve discourse (quality/accuracy) on social media

2. How is the project same/different from Wikipedia? We already have a social knowledge base as a society

3. Why another social network vs existing ones? It's really, really, really hard to bootstrap a social network user base
here it is, folks. we finally have cars with the shit design where you just shove random components that add lag in because you're too lazy / uneducated to understand your 'stack' or well-established science (such as the fact that input lag matters and the more of it you have, the more mistakes the human makes, even when the total lag is below the human 'reaction time'). the market is driven by who has the most clout, regardless of whether your product is sound. this is also why i don't use drive-by-wire, it was just obvious that they'll eventually mess this up (even if this tweet is not accurate).
Even the managers hate them. They make hiring such a pita
Actually it incorrectly states that Win32 is a framework--it's an API that all frameworks use.

Also the 'Win32' for 3.11 (and 3.1) was a (s)ubset thus named Win32s.

BassProShop.app is the future!
I opened that URL.

It opened fine in Safari (macOS), and it opened fine in Chrome. Firefox did not apply the XSL file.

I tried to "view source" on both Safari and Chrome, and neither gave me the option. I could Inspect Element, and I got the HTML DOM, but not the original XML source. On Firefox, it showed me the XML file.

This surprised me. I was under the understanding that the browsers had effectively abandoned the XML/XSL concept any more. Apparently Firefox does.

It's also a shame the browsers stopped at XSL v1 as well, v2 is much better.

But, the browsers basically said "we're not in the XML ecosystem, we're in the HTML ecosystem".

The idea of downloading XSL, and then having a blog post that was little more than just content, with a wee bit of meta data, with all the chrome rendered locally via the template, I find that idea compelling. One less thing to download. More stuff to cache on the local system.

I had grand visions of an XProc pipeline terminated in the browser itself, but when I found out the browsers weren't really playing along anymore, kind of took the wind out of its sails.
that's true in theory, but not practice. It assumes housing availability is a constant across the US

As I mentioned, I know a woman who is buying more house than that and her income is technically below the poverty line.

In addition, I work remote in tech and looking up the average salary in NYC, I'm making more and it's not close. Not everyone can do that and I understand that, but my point is that people around here don't feel as though house ownership is out of their power.
Some of these seem a little out-of-date given technology improvements since 1998 - it looks like he updated the numbers & notes but not the conclusions.

Lighting is almost never a major household energy user since the development of modern LED lights. Their efficiency increased so dramatically in the incandescent -> flourescent -> compact flourescent -> LED transition that you can leave a whole household of lights going all day and it'll take less energy than one clothes dryer load.

Same goes for refrigeration - modern refrigerators and chest freezers are extremely well-insulated, and use negligible electricity amortized over a day. This also has implications for power outages - many folks don't realize that you can get one of those portable emergency battery backs and it'll power your fridge for days, so if you're prepared it's relatively easy to avoid having your food spoil in a power outage.

Washing machines, other mechanical appliances like dishwashers, and even heat pump water heaters are also not huge contributors - advances in electric motors have made them very efficient.

The biggest remaining culprits are HVAC, EVs, clothes dryers, electric ovens, and anything with a heating element. This is largely inherent in the thermodynamics - 1 kwh of electricity is only 3412 BTUs, so mimicking the 15,000 - 25,000 BTUs of a gas range is around 5 kwh. Heat pumps can help a little for large-volume heating, but current technology has a max efficiency of about 400%, and a theoretical thermodynamic max for reasonably safe evaporator & condenser temperatures is about 700-800%. The secret to higher efficiency with electric heating is to heat less volume, which is the principal behind induction cooktops (heat just the pan instead of the whole stove), electric kettles (heat just the water instead of the whole stove), and toaster ovens (heat 1-2 cf instead of 5-6cf).

If you can, replacing a clothes dryer with a drying rack can yield very big dividends. A single full-size dryer load is about 5 kwh; a clothesline is free. In our family-with-young-children-and-gas-heat before getting an EV, the clothes dryer was about 40-50% of our household energy usage all by itself.
I meant that the "first world" isn't as fair as you think it is, this should be especially clear now.

> Retaliation is pretty common in the US

I agree! And, they say this bluntly and while chest thumping: ‘we have strong laws against retaliation’ :-)

You disagree with your manager and that as*hole will put you on a pip the very next day
I'll add one. (Not just talking about the immediate employee surveillance tech, but various questionable tech we develop and use, and slippery slopes going forward)

5. Consider the development or use of evil tech to reflect poorly upon the people involved. Like in an interview: "I see you were a developer at Dystopitools..." or "I see you were a manager at Megajerco..."

"I wasn't in the evildoing department" might be an acceptable explanation.

"I was just following orders" seems less likely to be an acceptable explanation.

Asking for an explanation might be reasonable, depending on the nature of the evildoing.

One benefit I imagine of knowing that we'll have to explain ourselves for associating with evil tech is that individuals will even consider that evil tech is a problem. Otherwise, if all people talk about is total comp, tech stacks, and how we spend the gobs of money we get paid, it's easy to forget the inconvenient aspects we don't talk about, like if we're getting paid to do evil.

Of course, sometimes people have no choice. But other times we rationalize, "Sure, I'm actively helping my employer make the world worse, but I have to put food on my family", when there are less-evil alternatives that also pay enough.

(Precedent: I've previously heard multiple executives say they don't want to hire people from particular prestigious tech companies, because, in so many words, they assume that the person learned bad culture at the company, or something is wrong with them for going there in the first place. Adapting that idea to evil tech development and application, and softening it from denylist to being asked to explain, seems worth considering.)

Start stigmatizing evils before a particular kind of evil is so ubiquitous that there are no alternatives.
I can, though indirectly.

Odds are good I've bought hundreds of consumer goods with Nichia LEDs in it without knowing, and I'll probably buy hundreds more.

(Not that I'm endorsing not caring, just pointing out how frustratingly hard it is to avoid giving money to companies like this.)
> Rust compiler depends on LLVM written in C++, kernels for all mainstream OSes are written in C.

But this general criticism is just as valid for C# which you say is safer, isn't it? 18.6% of the C# runtime is written in C or C++[1] and you run the runtime on an OS that's largely written in C or C++.

And presumably you can afford to out bid all the other people who want what you want. Its great that you are wealthy and/or able and willing to spend a very high fraction of your income on non essentials like walking to nice restaurants and being near cool people you want to be near.

The problem is that people who can't afford that think it is a hate crime if they can't afford to live in Brooklyn with the rest of the hipsters.
Consider, in a related vein, what happens when things are just omitted.

Miscarriages are an extremely common phenomenon for humans. Yet while our stories about reproduction feature endless variations of the conception, pregnancy, childbirth and child raising parts of the process, very little mention is ever made of miscarriages.

As a result, when they happen (which they do a lot), they come as a real shock for people who have not otherwise been exposed to this detail of the human condition, even though they are really quite normal, perhaps even mundane.

They’re only Amazon employees temporarily. Give equivalent money for other services by different businesses and these different businesses can hire them.

I think the point you make could be repeated for every boycott and sanction ever but most people don’t think these methods are inherently unethical.
An absence of evidence for the argument against something being common is evidence.
I've had a Lamy Safari that I bought as a kid back in 1997. I loved the pen, but as a left hander, I fell out of using it quite a long time ago. Just yesterday I read that they have left-hand nibs, and now I'm quite interested in them again. I've been using a Lamy Swift rollerball for several years now, that I really enjoy.

I feel like this phrase is causing confusion and the distinction the author is trying to make is clear in their mind but very unclear to read.

I'm not sure but I think the distinction being made is "not magic" means you're expected to be able to understand how and why something works. And "magical" means it should be surprisingly easy to do what you want.
This is why I distinguished it as asset class vs asset. It should be primarily tied to the value of the land beneath plus some nominal appreciation for the building on top rather than assessed value of the building on top plus nominal appreciation of the land. Similar to the land value tax formula. This treats it closer to a commodity rather than its own asset class as it is today.

This makes it more of a modest investment overall, one that people would stop tying their entire net with to

Deferring tax increases based on the sale of a house until the next owner is what California does and it’s a disaster.

Land value taxes are more equitable and treat it closer to a commodity and drive more efficient utilization
You seem like a miserable person to be around.

It's cake and a break from work. Even if you hate every single person you work with with a burning passion, it's still cake and a break from work.

I can only understand this opinion if its some kind of forced event after or before work, or worse you're the employer and just want people making you money only. But getting paid to take an extra break and then scolding your coworkers seems a step too far
input lag is usually just a bug / because the devs were lazy. this has to be a joke.
Satirical post I assume?

The demo shows the person stearing couldn't apply urgency in directing the wheel, sounds dangerous. Onus should be on the driver being capable of making the steering angle appropriate for the conditions, defending eventually consistent steering is comical, now drivers must account for where and by what speed the wheel angle reaches the desired position?
If you start adding traditional GUI application features - toolbars, tooltips, shortcuts, clipboard, drag and drop... You can get very close with all of those things in HTML, but not in the "native look and feel" way where the OS and framework actually knows what's going on and helps coordinate behavior.

Basically, the web's features are there to help you create advertisements and e-commerce frontends. They aren't productivity-focused, and the type of UI you get out of them by default reflects that.
