Actually, no, I have a PhD, and postdoc in this area. You, on the other hand, have read too much pop science about epigenetics. Surely you know that what sells pop science is novelty, so claiming that "Darwin was wrong because epigenetics" is a great commercial strategy. Sounds like it worked on you?
The whole thing was set up by people who don't like public transport. They don't like public anything. They don't want the peasants to have nice things, because only extra-special wealthy people should have nice things.

The rail network was cut right back in the 60s by the then transport minister, who happened to have a large share in the corporation building out the motorway network.

And so on.

France amending its 66-year old Constitution to include abortion is a “world first.” Few Europeans would assert that their constitutions already guaranteed such a right before those country’s regulated abortion under civil law. The ECHR has repeatedly declined invitations to find such a right in the EU Declaration of Human Rights. Meanwhile, many in America denounce the Supreme Court for observing that our 235 year old constitution isn’t any different from those (often much younger) European constitutions in that respect.
To be fair, the search engine monopoly has done a pretty good job of making that information quite difficult to actually find.

I'm expecting at some point the stable diffusion community of developers to recognize the value of Layered Diffusion, the method of generating elements with transparent backgrounds, and transitioning to outputs that are layered images one may access and tweak independently. The addition of that would make the hands-on media producers of the world say "okay, now we're talking, finally directly indigestible into our existing production pipelines."
I would assert is plenty of evidence that it will come, given the current state of the world.

This is one of those times I would rather be wrong.

I think my BMW X5 has the best middle ground for buttons vs touchscreen. I think in the new one they've moved more towards my i4 setup though which is too far on the touch screen.

The X5 has nice push buttons on the steering wheel for media control and stuff like cruise and lanekeep functions. Then it also has heating controls, a volume knob, and some shortcut buttons I can control. All the other gubbins is in the touch screen which works fine.

My i4 moved heating controls to the touchscreen too and dropped the shortcut buttons which is annoying. It still has the nice steering wheel buttons though and a volume knob but it's heading the wrong way IMHO.
I'm pretty sure that would be a dead clause since it is more restrictive than reverse engineering for compatibility, and every GPU and CPU is internally a translation layer...

> I am thinking hard about any use case for mortals … that can't be covered by latest wifi.

My home WiFi network is running Enterprise grade Aruba hardware using latest WiFi spec gear, where I did intelligent zone planning with no rooms not near max RSSI for devices, proper handoffs between APs, and 2.5GbE or faster backhauls to the controller, yet can still get SIGNIFICANTLY faster access to my NAS over even gigabit Ethernet. Hell, I can’t even consistently have my internet connection be the bottleneck over WiFi.

So yes, “mere mortals” can saturate a consumer grade wifi ap quite easily, using latest specs or not.

The book says that a longer West-East axis means more civilizations can exchange the same crops/animals as the climate tends to be similar, while across the Nort-South axis you have a much harder time moving things, as you end up having to go from cold to temperate to tropical and then back again, effectively stopping movements. I haven't read the book again in many years, but this is something that stuck with me...
How many would vote for it if you took all the money and implicit health subsidies going to fossil fuels and gave it to the voters instead?

If the choice is between

1. Physical controls that you can interact with without the need to take your eyes off the road

2. Touch screen that you need to look almost every time, much of the time while actually interacting with it. But you can mitigate that by using it more responsibly, waiting until you are at a stop, our out of range of anything you might need to react to (which might not happen for 10 minutes or even longer)

Then #1 is clearly the winner. Because 2 is more dangerous for everyone on the road (not just you with your own behavior, but everyone else that might act irresponsibly and hit you). We specifically craft laws to make people interact with their phones less (hands free only, etc) because "people must act more responsibly" is not a reliable solution.

Even when you ask that, make sure to ask for the "_fully diluted_ cap table". It may seem like a small detail, but if you get a cap table that's not fully diluted then what you see may differ a lot from what it ends up looking like once investors exercise their options.
I have volume controls and similar on my steering while, and I never use them.... because I can never remember which is where. I prefer my stereo controls to be in the stereo controls area, my climate controls to be in the climate control area, etc. Spreading them out makes it more annoying to deal with.
> he didn't pay for

hey, he paid for it! They gave him an unlimited ticket in exchange for euros.

You're free to say that the train company shouldn't have created an unlimited ticket but it's unfair to paint a person who uses what he legally bought as a thief.
Public transport in the UK is trapped in a vicious cycle. The system is poor, so people buy cars, which means fewer people use the system, which means less investment, which means the system gets even worse, so more people buy cars. Despite all its ills, driving is, for enough people, a more pleasant experience than tackling strikes, standing on a train for two hours, or being unable to travel at certain times at all.

I have to go on a cross country journey this Sunday which would suit the use of the train, except there are none at all on my section of the main line early in the morning, so I shall drive all the way into London. The data may make it look as if no-one needs or wants to use the train early on a Sunday, except we might, if we had the option.

>I can touch type and hit 'u' without looking, sure. But only if my hands start on the home row.

The keys have bumps to let you know when your hands are in the right place.

Similar affordances exist in many cars. Even where they don't; the much smaller amount of them makes remembering things like "the third button from the left mutes the audio" and finding it by touch entirely possible.

Look, I'm not trying to argue that touchscreens are useless or whatever — if you like your touchscreen, fine, whatever, your problem.

But claiming that they're _as easy_ to use without looking as button is just not believable.

So will it make a practical difference or is it just a gesture?

Wow, quite a quandry. What did you do?
Especially seeing as the steady state of DB operations these days seems to be utter chaos.

But it does seem like a good way to explore the country.
Abortion was illegal in France until 1975. It was legalized by the legislature, and the challenge to the law went up to the Court of Cassation, which upheld the law ruling that the government can properly regulate abortion (which includes permitting it up to 12 weeks, as the 1975 law did).

Two years earlier, the US Supreme Court had struck down any state regulation of abortion prior to viability (around 22-24) weeks. Effectively, it imposed an abortion regime far broader than France’s by judicial fiat.
>I decided to live on a train when I was 16 years old. My school days were behind me and the whole world was open to me.

That alone is amazing. Is 16 normal in Germany or did this guy graduate years earlier than normal?

Answering my own question, seems maybe they went to a "Realschule"? If I understand it correctly kind of a trade or technical school for those whose path leads into a job right away. Otherwise it's Gymnasium (funny sounding to English speakers) a regular school path that leads to University.
"politics" is very broad. Should I mention Bézier curves when discussing instruction sets just because both are related to computer science, without any other connection?

This inflammatory gratuitous hot take without any evidence to prove it on a subject unrelated to the discussion at hand (far left parties are not especially more related to this new constitutional abortion right than any other party) just doesn't belong here and will probably not lead to interesting discussions. Whether it is true or not.

>Google's baffling regression in handling voice input for common tasks while driving

Is it just me or is Google Maps voice input in AA completely busted now? I used to be able to press the "Search" bar on the touch screen in the app, say the search term and it would just show the results. Likewise for adding stops along the way. Now for the former I need to explicitly say "navigate to X" (or it says that it doesn't have a screen and refuses to do anything???) and for the latter I have to say something like "add a navigation stop at X", the assistant lists our the result (??????) and asks me which one I want to choose. Of course I don't see anything on the map in either case.

I can't imagine how bad it is when you
More people use trains than in the 1990s.
Being able to use your phone to talk to people is not safety critical either. And yet, we make laws to lower the amount of physical interactions required with the phone while driving. Because people _do_ use them in ways that negatively impacts safety, both for themselves and other people on the road.

The question isn't whether or not the interface needs to be interacted with at times when it would be a safety issue. The question is whether or not the interface _will_ be interacted with in a way that would be a safety issue. And how much of a safety issue that is to _other_ people. And what better options there are to prevent those issues.

"People can use it responsibly" is not a viable strategy here, when the (many) bad actors injure and kill 3rd parties.
I would hope this would be a firewall from AI. Install this on your site and AI tools can’t access your data.
Systems that are vital to the operation of a moving vehicle should never under any circumstances force the driver to take their eyes off the road even for a split second to interact with them. It's mindblowing that this was even allowed to happen in the first place.

LFI (france far left party) wants to call this "Loi Panot" and claim the victory. Panot is the LFI representative who has initiated this law. Macron eventually thought it would be good to surf this wave.

I still don't get the appeal. Why would you want this again?
The trains go anyway, so it makes zero difference. Only if enough people stop commuting altogether will the carbon footprint of travel be reduced.

There's a fallacy where people believe the actions of an individual have any significant impact on emissions; be it travel, energy efficient homes, dietary lifestyle choices like vegetarianism and veganism. But the effect of those are all rounding errors at best. The only change can come from companies and large businesses.
If you ever want to send >1 Gigabit over that cable, use fibre. 10 GbE is pretty much the limit of copper cables at that length and create tons of heat (in the switch if RJ45 port, or worse on the SFP+ module). Also fibre has no fire safety considerations and no problem being right next to a power line carrying high-current AC. Also fibre does not corrode. As a bonus, it costs pretty much the same (but switches/sfp+ transciever are more expensive).
This wasn't Macron's idea. It was proposed by communists in 2017, and more recently by far left's LFI.
