The Romans saw themselves as the real life continuity of Greek mythology, specifically as a result of the events of the Iliad by way of the Aenid. Which indicates the same for Roman Britain / London. In addition to the mythology indicating the same for Britain. If you query the right people who have it as part of their culture to track historical continuity, they will point out the relevant structural parallels between Ancient Rome and the USA (and therefore between Ancient Greece and the USA).
The EV push makes so much more sense for China than it does in the US.

The warm climate leads to better battery performance. The availability of HSR means that cars aren't needed for road trips, subverting the need for range. The money saved on gas makes sense as gas is expensive and all the components are (electronics, silicon, battery tech) is available in house.

Your opinions are totally valid here and I even agree with many of them but some facts that need highlighting:

The Cybertruck bed is a full 6 foot bed. It’s got a liner, it’s got tie-downs, it is a real truck bed. It is practically an F-150 clone in packaging and sizing.

The Cybertruck took almost exactly 4 years between concept reveal and shipping which is totally reasonable for the auto industry. Just ignore the Peter Molyneux-like promises of Elon Musk and it’s a totally normal car launch timeline.

Off-road deficiencies are all over the place with EVs because they’re heavy. No other brand is going to defy physics.

Cybertruck competitors in the same price range you can order are the F-150 and the Rivian R1T. The Rivian base model is $10k more and the F-150 base model is stripped down, you get things like manual adjusted seats. But hey, it is cheaper at the same range.

The mid-tier Rivian is basically the same price as the Cybertruck mid range. The one deficiency with is at the high end where Rivian offers more range, but that’s also a getting to be a very expensive truck.

The Hummer is not even in the same class of vehicle. It’s a 5 foot bed truck. If you’re going to point fingers at electric trucks that aren’t usable work trucks, that’s the one. It’s also starting at $100k. Not in the same price class at all.

Putting the feelings about Elon aside I’m just calling it like I see it here: Tesla is competing in a market which is highly lucrative, is very high volume, and they have some legitimate advantages like charging network and software that competitors can’t match. Heck, they’ve even got a reliability advantage over Rivian (Consumer Reports).
Interesting, my experience is that almost all carts get the job done* but have a small amount of pull, usually insignificant enough that it can be compensated for by pushing out at one end of the handle. My recollection is probably biased but it seems pretty rare that I get a "perfect" cart. Might be down to the different stores having different carts and maintenance approaches.

*this one fact probably goes a long way towards explaining why they don't get fixed

This is like saying that everything (including scam attempts) is proportional to the scale so the scale doesn't really matter.

It's not true. Scale bring synergy and reduces costs. But it's a two-way road which works for scams too: scamming one big platform and fighting one anti-fraud system is ten times more cost-efficient than adjusting to ten smaller ones.
Interesting. How long does one of those bottles last for you?

In Australia, the regulating body for that stuff announced new limits back in 2023. They'll apply from Feb 2025 onwards:

https://www.tga.gov.au/news/media-releases/tga-makes-final-d...

* reduce the maximum size of packs available for general sale (e.g. supermarkets and convenience stores) from 20 to 16 tablets or capsules

* reduce the maximum size of packs available in pharmacies without the supervision of a pharmacist (i.e. ‘Pharmacy Only’ packs) from 100 to 50 tablets or capsules

* make other pack sizes of up to 100 tablets or capsules available only under the supervision of a pharmacist (‘Pharmacist Only’ medicines).

Those limits don't seem all that different from the existing pack sizes commonly on shelves though. So there's very likely some existing limits around pack sizes already.

People in New York City don't use shopping carts too often. Fewer people own cars and drive than in Waxahachie, and they tend to go shopping more frequently and buy less at one time. I doubt that this was a story based just on the author's own experience in NYC - we've all dealt with wonky shopping carts! Waxahachie looks nice, but you should visit NYC sometime. It's a cool city and I think you'd learn a lot about the people and be less likely to write them off as "horrible" if you visited.

cool library. although worth keeping in mind that strong typing doesn't solve all your problems.

here's an example, taking the second example on this page https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/ with the external_data dictionary, if i add a collision like:

'wine': 9,
'wine': 1,

it seems to just silently pick the last one, which seems error prone to me. maybe there's a flag to fix it, but i couldn't find any documentation or switches that controlled this behavior. :/

with respect to the approach i mentioned above, it's more of an idea (or probably a research topic) to do quantitative analysis on the behavior of programs while they execute, rather than static analysis of the code that defines them. the latter is obviously preferable, assuming the approach can capture all of the types of analyses of interest, the quantitative approach may be more suitable for large or legacy systems where detecting changes in data shape (even if of valid type) and branching behavior may be useful for tracking down causes of, or detecting conditions for, errant behaviors.
I've been impressed by the carts the few times I've shopped at WinCo. Their carts always seemed to be fantastic.

I've been extremely annoyed by Walmart carts. The carts themselves are usually fine once I get one separated from the rest. It's the separating them that is annoying.

When a cart has other carts nested into it from behind, that raises the back flap. The two straps on that flap that are used to strap in small children when they are riding can dangled down through the grill of the flap on the nested cart. The clip on the end is big enough that if it twists at all it can get jammed in that nested grill, and the carts are then stuck together.

If you don't realize that the strap is caught and just think the carts are pushed tight, pulling to loosen them wedges the strap clip in very tight. Then you need to reach under to lift the bottom flap to relieve some pressure, while trying to un-wedge the clip. It's awkward and although I've not yet done it it looks like it is possible you get get an annoying pinch if you let go of the flap at the wrong time.

That poll needs to be explicit about the definition of abortion to be a useful disambiguation. Most people probably don't even consider treating an ectopic pregnancy an abortion, just like how most people don't consider killing someone in self defense to be murder, juts as an example. I'd imagine that healthy viable fetus is likely implicit in a lot of people's personal definition, even those personally against it.

Who are these companies that either require a non-personal Apple Id or forbid a personal Apple Id? I’ve worked for startups and multinationals and never had an issue with my work machine allowing a personal Apple Id.

Obviously I have to be personally ok with allowing work possible access to my Apple Id, but for me it’s an acceptable trade off given that they have access to everything I say on Slack, and if we’re being honest, that’s the where the “HR needs a word” is gonna come from.
Only if people actually use those cars for trips they could use public transit for. If there's no convenient parking at their destination, they'll leave the car at home.

Here in Tokyo, lots of people have cars that just stay parked at home most of the time, only used for weekend trips. They don't use them for normal stuff because 1) public transit is generally convenient and 2) there's no convenient (or affordable) parking in most parts of the city.

The key to all of this is parking. Parking takes of a LOT of space in a city. Here, there's no requirements about parking: you can build as much or as little as you like. Land is highly valuable, so land owners generally only allocate as much land to parking as makes sense to them economically. So apartments don't have that much (and those spaces cost a lot), and most businesses don't have any. There are some privately-owned parking lots/garages, but they cost a small fortune, and might not be that close to your destination anyway. If you want to buy a building in a dense area, tear it down, and build a parking, lot, you're free to do so, but it would usually be a stupid way to spend your money, so it doesn't happen.

I'm sure I'm weird but I find pushing shopping carts around to be degrading and clumsy. If I must use a cart, I usually park it somewhere discreet and scramble around the store clasping items until my arms are overloaded and then I deposit them in the cart. This allows me to be nimble and dodge between sloths who are burdened shuffling around squealy carts from bin to bin.

It's a greasy, screechy trash bin-walker hybrid full of food.

Lifestyle businesses are underrated in my opinion. They are also more achievable than a multi-million exit, especially if a lifestyle business is the planned goal. A lifestyle business does have particular challenges however. Specifically, moving it from a stage two to stage three business as described in Scale by Finkel and Hoffman:

https://www.amazon.com/Scale-Seven-Proven-Principles-Busines...

A stage 1 business depends on the founder doing the work; a stage two business depends on specific people doing the work; a stage three business has enough systems and checks in place that people are interchangeable.

With a stage two business, a critical person leaving can threaten the entire business. This is a particular issue in the software field where people tend to job hop. Creating a stable lifestyle company that is more than a three or four person shop, thus requires a large and sustained effort to document all critical processes. Don’t underestimate this challenge.
Pompeii was amazing and (as an engineer) humbling. The roads. Build to last hundreds of years. And in a city old enough that they were indeed rebuilt. The plumbing. Steam baths. Clay sewer pipes.

> And then it does the heavy lifting by iterating over the whole map thousand times, randomly selecting a rectangle on the map and checking if the selected area is adjacent to an already-generated cave.

Yeah, it's surprising how well this approach works. Performance is actually decent.

There is a chance of "dud" levels that only have a couple of rooms, but it's rare. The nice thing about this approach is that it guarantees by construction that every room in the dungeon will be reachable from every other one.
I think that entire "Hidden Gem" update is being spun by Google as a positive "opportunity" to bring in more useful content for users, when it is actually a defensive maneuver against the absolute gaming of their algo that has led to an insane deterioration in their results quality. Even simple queries now routinely return mountains of obvious SE spam.

Combine this with Google now placing only sponsored content on damn near the full first SERP for some terms and it has become less useful by an order of magnitude (I meticulously calculated this figure).

And, this degradation at the same time ChatGPT has come on the scene. I know I personally bypass Google altogether now more and more frequently in favor of ChatGPT. Wonder how many people do the same and whether there is a whiff of desperation at the Big G.

Dude, performance-related pay is not our concern. People should just be paid. I think you need to step back and consider why you're so obsessed with _judging_ people in addition to them being paid? Now, if you're American, you might have a bit of unlearning to do in order to contemplate that freely because you've been told all your life that "customer service" is so important. But put that aside; why do you want to judge people and be involved in their performance-related pay? What even makes you qualified to do such a thing?

They aren't separate questions, and there is a trade-off between protecting themselves and attempting to do right by good-faith customers.

The correct amount of fraud the platforms tolerate against themselves is definitely >0%, and it's for the reason you're identifying.

It seems that you're assuming it's obvious to identify good-faith consumers and do right by them. In some cases that's true. If you're a loyal, repeat customer of Amazon's they will basically just do whatever you ask them (within reason). But there are many cases where the act of discriminating between fraudster and Good Samaritan is in fact the whole of the challenge.

Indeed, one of the most common exploits is to hack the account of good customers and abuse merchants that way.

There's a dark, dark underbelly of crime out there. And the cost of that is borne by all of us in occasionally-less-than-good customer experiences.
In Germany you have something close to „drug stores in the US“ but minus the pharmacy. For example: dm, Müller, Rossmann. The bigger ones (especially dm) actually always have shopping carts. It‘s very common for people to buy large things in these stores, like toilet paper, baby diapers etc. which can easily fill a shopping cart.
This is a very very long rant against a decision that seems entirely sensible to me.

I think life style businesses are fine, provided you’re the only one that’s not interchangeable.

The literary style of Zuo Zhuan can be described as highly refined if you wish, but not quite "poetic". It's basically a very succinct style of old Chinese. And it reads more like a diary than an epic story.

> I don’t think people with infants and toddlers expect them to ride a bike. Taking kids around to their clubs and sports, etc isn’t practical.

Tons of parents around here use cargo bikes - my son went to daycare ~5 miles away on the back of mine and still hops on the back for longer trips in grade school. With e-assist it’s faster than driving, way less stressful and expensive, and the difference is that kids love getting on bikes in a way that they don’t riding in cars because they can see so much more of the world.
