>Collection happens at central points shared by a few houses. So if you fuck it up, your neighbors will know.

>Collection happens through individual small trucks and the guy check the items and sort them directly into larger bins. If you made a mistake they will label it and leave it behind.

Part of it is the fact that neighbors police each other. Culturally we tend to reject when others are intruding in our business. Note the disdain for HOA and busybodies.

Having that culture might be a good thing in respect to recycling but it is also a brake to other societal change as it is a consecutive force.
Important point. Europe is so far ahead of U.S.
I've spoken to plenty of people who couldn't answer questions they knew the answers to because they were bound by stupid bureaucratic policies. I wouldn't say they weren't intelligent people, just that the corporate training they received were poorly constructed.

LLMs are much more intelligent sounding when the safety mechanisms are removed. The patterns should be obvious to people who've been paying attention.

Rivian R1S is interrupted but only between 2nd/3rd rows. Which technically is the same as the Y since it supports a 3rd row.
the u. s. doesn’t have enough housing density to support passenger rail that people actually want to use

you could build the rail first and hope the dense housing comes later, but that would saddle cities with an expensive rail network no one uses

even in the bay area we have decent rail solutions given the size of the area, and most people prefer to drive. because they live far enough from the station that driving to the station and then training, and the destination stations are far from the destinations

without all this investing in roads and highways will have the biggest direct impact to most americans

The article focuses on the adverse consequences for climate, with a mention of safety and livability of communities, but it neglects the effects roads have on biodiversity. There is a recent book that exposes how devastating roads are for nature (https://www.bengoldfarb.com/crossings). Expanding highways will only worsen it.
I understand that GNOME has a clear way how it wants you to use the desktop, but I don't like that way for the reasons I described. And it's not just a 'different' way, I feel like I lose functionality and flexibility in a lot of regards. Although, I guess it's hard to say for sure since I never used GNOME for an extended period of time.

> The issue is the space that's required by them and building more lanes doesn't really help due to induced demand

No, you're measuring what you care about, not the actual goal.

More lanes helps because now more people are able to get where they want to go! If you have 4 lanes, and 20,000 people can commute to work, and with 8 lanes, 40,000 people can commute to work, that's a huge win for the people who wanted to use the highway! Think about this honestly — if you doubled the capacity of a subway, and twice as many people took it so it was just as crowded, you'd be thrilled.

You're going to be perpetually confused by infrastructure decisions if you measure a goal that nobody else is trying to solve for.

Are not roads part of public transport? In the US, would I be correct in saying that the bulk of public passenger transport is by bus? This article is from the UK where busses constitute are a little over half of all trips. Busses need roads too.

And roads have other uses than moving people. Get rid of all passenger transport and we would still need roads to move all the goods and services on which we rely.

> There is 1 stall on a single set of superchargers which can be charged by a F-150 without blocking 2 stalls

Verifiably false. Put a F-150 in every stall, and only one on the very end is blocked, and only if there isn't an open parking space next to it. If F-150's make up a significant fraction of the charging population, then you're looking at half the impact (25%) at most, not even including the spots on the ends that don't have a spot to block (most rows are 4-8 spots wide, so that's another 12-25% recovered). And of course if F-150's don't make up a significant fraction of the charging population, then you're not looking at a significant impact by definition.

I found claims of correlation with stress and anxiety (seems kind of obvious), and type D personalities (a categorization I've never heard of before, but seemingly includes negativity, hostility, suppressed anger).

It seems hard to me to ascertain whether these are a cause of illness, a reaction to illness, maybe even a vicious-cycle type of reaction that serves to make the illness worse ... Or just correlation. One factor among many. A rut that people fall in. Maybe all of this.

But let's be fair, "induced demand" is just another way of saying "insufficient supply" because otherwise massive roads in the middle of nowhere would instantly fill with cars.

The real question is "why do people choose to drive when there are alternatives"?

People will use public transport instead of cars when it costs less, it is more convenient, and it is safer. Most people don't want cars, they need cars.

When your bus is 30 minutes late for weeks, months, and years on end, you will look into getting a car.

When there are homeless people sleeping on buses, you will look into getting a car.

When there are mentally ill people threatening other passengers on buses, you will look into getting a car.

When there are drug addicts smoking weed or meth on buses, you will look into getting a car.

When there are sociopaths listening to music on their speakerphone or otherwise being very loud on buses every day, you will look into getting a car.

When you are assaulted or robbed at bus or metro stations, you will look into getting a car.

I think one of the easier changes is to have more informational sharing in an organization.

It feels like that is very similar to ordering a messaging service to give up a user's IP address usage, and then asking Google/Apple for user IDs associated with that IP address at the appropriate times. The apparent differences being removing the shred of plausible deniability from shared IPs, and not having to correlate times. Still if you're leaving Google-account-sized breadcrumbs while trying to remain anonymous, I'd say you've already lost.

The third (or really first) workaround is to use a personal computer with libre operating system rather than one designed by a surveillance company. Then you can skip this dynamic where entire OS subsystems have been designed around users being plainly identified.
All fiction is anchored in "its" time to some significant degree. SF & Fantasy give the author more freedom to place a story, but as you note the author is incapable of entirely divorcing themselves from their context. Intentionally or otherwise, most fiction has allegorical elements reflecting current stories or ideas. Often this is intentional I think, with (some) authors in these genres engaging in ongoing social/political/whathaveyou issues in a way that sidesteps constraints and perspectives you would have in a "present day" setting.

Our entire approach to town and city building is fucked.

People/professionals all vacation to places like Tulum (etc) where you can just walk through little slices of paradise on foot (or scooter) and reach everything you need without a car, then rave about how great it is, and then go back home and continue designing and building the worst imaginable human experience infrastructure.

Blows my mind. We could have cool little interconnected towns with diverse landscapes all connected by rail, bicycles, scooters, and walking... but nah.

I'm not much of a C programmer but my gut feeling on this is that is isn't ever going to be resolved by debating or reasoning of any kind. It'll be fixed when someone does something that makes some other language more relevant. C didn't get popular because of a consensus. It got popular because of Unix. Python got popular because of Django.

We're stuck with C until someone builds something more important than Linux using some other language.

Passenger rail was economically successful in the US through the 19th and early 20th centuries when population was much lower.

The very successful Japanese model is that railway companies buy land and develop it, and the railway adds value to that land.

But it's hard to compete when the government subsidizes and legally mandates roads and not railroads.

> The hardware designers were involved on the standardization process.

That sounds cyclic then. You're saying that Intel's SDM was ambiguous[1] (which it was) and that it was sorted out as part of a standardization process. I'm saying that it doesn't really matter what the SDM said, it mattered whether or not you could reliably write lockless code on x86 using the hardware and docs available at the time, and you could. And further, I'm saying that the standard ended up making things worse by perpetuating arguments like this about what some buggy English text in an SDM said and not about actual hardware behavior.

[1] In ways that AFAICT didn't actually impact hardware. I found this, which is probably one of the papers you're citing.

> - The lack of first class interfaces/traits/typeclasses is not my favorite. The currently suggested alternatives are so un-ergonomic I'd almost call them hostile.

Personally, I don't see this as a problem. I like implementing an interface in Zig the same way I implement one in C -- I use a function pointer that takes a packet that defines the operation to execute with that packet data. Zig's exhaustive switch statements make these even better to work with.

Here is some pseudocode to illustrate what I mean:

fn doThing(ThingPacket p)
switch(p.Opcode)
MyInterfaceFunc1_Opcode => return MyInterfaceFunc1(p.Func1Params);
MyInterfaceFunc2_Opcode => return MyInterfaceFunc2(p.Func2Param);
...
default => error.InvalidOpcode;
They also have one in the US.

So probably East Asia?

> The main difference is the PoE circuit. Now, it’s on a separate board. This PCB receives 48 PoE ...

Can anyone suss out from the text, if REV4 would work with what kind of PoE?

I have what must be a REV3 dish, powered by a custom power source due to incompatibility of the "PoE" used by REV3. I'm doing that to avoid using the starlink router/AP piece. This is a standard, well-blogged about solution.

I thought PoE was good for up to (or exactly?) 56V, so I guess the incompatibility in REV3 is more about the wattage delivered, not the voltage.

I would be eager to get a REV4 just for the jitter improvement, which is a big issue for me. If it also can use standard PoE, that's another huge win. Or at least, if it can use the same kind of power supply I'm using for REV3, that's fine as well.
On the other hand, Esperanto is one of the languages featured by Radio China International (https://esperanto.cri.cn), and there's also an official support for the El Cxinia Popolo magazine, and maybe others I'm not aware of.
