>> for most cities PT and residents make up the bulk of commercial traffic

"According to the American Community Survey (ACS), public transportation commuters constituted about 5 percent of all workers in the United States in 2019. Though public transportation (transit) was a relatively uncommon method of traveling to work in the United States as a whole, it played a prominent role in certain places, like the cities of New York, where over 2 million people commuted by public transportation, and San Francisco, where over one third of workers did so."

-- https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publicatio...

So even pre-pandemic when public transportation was in higher usage, there was maybe one city in the US that meets your criteria. For the other 19,494 of the 19,495 cities in the US, private transportation was a large majority.

5% of commuter trips in the US are by public transportation. Under 3% are walking. 85% are car, truck, or van, either alone or carpooled. If cars only get 80%, sounds like they are being cheated. They should get 85% instead.
Firefox has a marketplace with participation rules and enforcement where organizations that break the rules can be banned for violating them. That already exists.

They want something stricter. What they're asking for is the ability to have multiple marketplaces and validation measures, some of which have stricter rules than others. That these requests pop up in scenarios where marketplaces already exist suggest that singular universal marketplaces that attempt to be one-size-fits-all gatekeepers aren't scalable or sufficient to meet everyone's needs, and that a multi-marketplace setup would allow some of those marketplaces to offer stricter quality standards for the people who need them.

"Bring Your Own Device" has honestly been pretty pathological in this regard. I like only having my phone on me, I very much dislike the various levels of invasive that corporate compliance software is designed around (Google do...not a bad job here in just having the domains separated, but I'd be much happier if it all had to live in it's own VM with only the access I grant it back to the main device).
Just noticed this line in the press release from Dexcom [1]:

Stelo will be available for purchase **online** without a prescription starting summer 2024.

I wonder if that means that this will be direct-to-consumer in addition to retail channels (CVS, RiteAid, Amazon, etc).

> when one side routinely pretends to be civilian

Israel actively promotes illegal, violent settlements that kill Palestinians under IDF protection. [1] / [2]

---

Israel has on a number of occasions provoked border disputes and then claimed that IDF soldiers killed in those disputes were civilians.

[2]

> On that very day, however, a high-level decision was taken by the IDF to send a patrol of soldiers dressed up as policemen to al-Hamma at the farthest end of the southern DMZ. The patrol was intended to show the flag in an area that was under complete Syrian domination. The Syrian army responded violently, by shooting and killing seven members of the patrol and hampering the evacuation of the rest.

> [...]

> The cabinet met on 5 April and, in the absence of the foreign minister, accepted the prime minister’s recommendations to destroy three Arab villages inside the DMZ, bomb from the air the Syrian post and police station in al-Hamma, boycott the MAC, and lodge a complaint with the UN Security Council on the murder of the seven “policemen.”

[2]

> To achieve the first aim, Israel purchased land from the Arab villagers, developed Jewish settlements, established new agricultural settlements, built fortifications around them, and introduced soldiers disguised as civilians or policemen. To achieve the second aim, Israel seized an opportunity in March 1951 to move forcibly several hundred Bedouins who refused to accept Israeli identity cards from the central DMZ to Arab villages in northern Israel. In pursuit of the third aim, Israel refused to recognize the jurisdiction of the UN over civilian activities and even placed roadblocks to stop the UN men from entering the DMZs. Both Syria and the UN observers felt deceived and were disturbed by the direction of Israeli policy.

[2]

> Dayan did not like the compromise with the UN and pressed for extending Israel’s control over the DMZ through the introduction of additional soldiers masquerading as farmers. Ben-Gurion was persuaded to ask the cabinet to authorize the construction of two new “civilian” settlements in the DMZ.

Postfix operators are much more readable when chaining or composing. I used to write a lot of async C#, and it quickly gets tiresome to constantly have to write stuff like (await (await (...) ...), and reading such code requires jumping back and forth to unravel.

Amusingly, this is history repeating itself. These days we consider the X.Y syntax for object members quite natural, but historically if you look at the earliest examples, it was actually prefix. The first ALGOL-60 dialects to add records used functional notation, so you had to do Y(X). In ALGOL-68, they made it an operator instead (which allowed for proper namespacing), but it was still prefix: Y OF X; very straightforward and natural. But then people pretty quickly found out that (Y OF (X OF (...)) does not make for readable code in practice.

What I think they did wrong was require a period there - that is the part that makes it look like a property access. It would have been better as `print() await`, making it clear that it is just a postfix operator.

In Google's case, at least they have the technical fig leaf of being able to blame third parties.

That's not how things work, you can only make an alternative app store with Apple's consent, not without. Deleting Epic's dev account means they can't make an alternative app store.
Reading the competition rules, the prize will be awarded for algorithms that do the most societal good with the smallest estimated size of quantum computer - There is no requirement to actually execute the proposed computation. Also they give no time horizon by when the hardware should exist. So, it's very possible that no "actual uses" for quantum computers are known even after the prize has been handed out.

> systematic murdering of civilians

If Israel wanted to systematically murder civilians there would be a lot more dead.

What you are seeing is the result of a terrorist organization hiding among civilians (human shields) while waging a war dressed as civilians (a war crime).
That is not how it works. What people want is a function of the choices available.

When the government builds a ton of car roads, people want cars. When they build great rail, bike lanes and walkable streets, people want cars much less.
Reality is when a government is indexed on narrative control it already knows it lacks popular assent. It's a weak position. In Canada, the government knows they are burning the country so as to ratchet in changes that preserve their rule over its ashes.

Most of what you believe about yourself comes from language that has been adulterated and subverted, and the very means of production of self and being is already corrupted for a radicalized minority of people in these institutions. They believe they are activists who have infiltrated an establishment to demolish it. It's a playbook and they're rubes. A conspiracy theory is just what people who aren't actually engaged in the dominant conspiracy itself infer about how it works, hence the "theory" part.

Junk ideas get spread as chaff to discredit and neutralize any opposition and prevent it from forming or organizing. A lot of disinfo exists to just associate dissent to it to discredit it, as it spreads absurd ideas as tools to shout down reasonable concerns. These days, calling something a conspiracy theory is just a slogan of weak minded and fearful people who are made to feel powerful by repeating it. Never underestimate what a cadre of banal nihilists with the reins of a bureaucracy can achieve.

It's funny, I was just about to finally give in and try premium to see if it would get me more job leads. The subscription errored out. Maybe this is a sign.

I think there might have already been a thread on this recently, but just what are y'all using these days to look for new jobs? Has the hiring process degraded to the point where it's just the same groups of people networking and hiring each other back and forth because public hiring is too onerous?
Life is whatever you want it to be.

There's plenty of ways to get through life that don't involve computers or software or television.

You can choose differently than you have.
I know there have been efforts to improve things but service was also cut back during the pandemic. (There are some express trains again.) I'll still take it preferentially for 9-5ish situations like one I'll have next week but it's not actually any faster in general (though I can sort of relax for most of the trip) and is totally unusable for going in for an evening play.

And that's almost certainly a pretty good commuter rail system by large urban US standards. (Not as good as NYC of course.)

So, to my original point, saying "don't drive" is essentially equivalent to saying stay out of the city in general.
Do you have a refutation of the specific claim regarding Al Jazeera journalists doubling as Hamas agents?

I'm bet they probably do collect e.g. your phone's operating system and use that to figure out which market segment you belong to. But as far as I know Dexcom doesn't have any agreements with anyone to sell their user's data; If they have ads in the dex app I've never seen one. I would be extremely surprised if that were the case.

>You can ask us not to use or share certain protected health information for treatment, payment, or our operations. We are not required to agree to your request

What they're talking about here isn't necessarily what you expect. It's that, if you e.g. encounter a bug in the product that they need to disclose to the FDA, you cannot withhold information from them that would prevent them from doing that. Or, if they need to know what kind of diabetes you have so that they can charge your insurance for the correct prescription, you can't say "you're not allowed to share that." (doesn't really apply here, but that's kind of what's meant in that clause). You can see: treatment, payment, or operations. The scope of each of those is kept as small as possible, and they do have audits from time to time ensuring that it is.

I assure you that CGM readings, trends, averages, reports, etc. ALL of that stuff is absolutely, positively considered PHI and considered extremely privileged. The only time anyone, even in the company, can see that data is if they are a customer support agent helping a specific customer, or if they are on the data science team looking at broad trends to help e.g. calibrate the product.

>Once a year you can also request that they send you a report on who they shared your data with and why without paying them for it, but it will not include anything involving "treatment, payment, and health care operations, and certain other disclosures (such as any you asked us to make)."

It's because they have extra requirements around storage, retention, etc of that PHI data. It's very likely that they can't send you a report because all parties have much stricter access controls on that data so it can't be aggregated and put in a report without filing a mountain of paperwork.

I assure you, these companies do not fuck around with patient data. They don't even do things that give off the appearance of fucking around with patient data, because they know that if the HHS thinks that they are that's millions of dollars in audit costs.
Even though PG caches it is still doing all the things to run the query. It is like saying why does a 3d render take so long to render an image when the same image saved to a PNG opens so much faster.

Having even less memory bandwidth than a 7800XT seems wild. Ars pointing out how it doesn't even meet a 6800XT (2020) seems dead on.

I feel like this card is a smart idea. Surely there are some 7900's that had not one but two of it's six MCD fail, and this lets AMD move those parts. But man it's so marginal a part by comparison, loses so much of its oomph for lack of memory bandwidth & cores.

I was thinking I might get a 7800XT. I saw this was coming out & was interested, especially given how near the price is. It seems to be a tiny bit faster, but usually <10%.

But I might end up buying it anyways! It'll be interesting to see what's next, but AMD cancelled their big multi-chip RDNA4 that was supposed to show up this year. Hopefully their monolithic RDNA4 offering does decently, when it finally arrives. But the 7900's might be the fastest for a while.

And more importantly for my dev centric interests, I would like to play around with some ML stuff. There's no signs that I'm aware of that AMD will support their ROCm platform on anything but flagship consumer cards (although some folks report having cobbled together support for their 7800's). Markedly unlike Nvidia, who has kept CUDA widely available across their consumer cards. The GRE is expensive & doesn't perform well, but it's the minimum bar to play on AMD, and nothing better seems to be in the pipeline from the Red team. https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon/en/latest/docs/com...
> it is so overcome by historical events that you will confuse your audience

I really don't think so. I think almost every US president has used that exact phrase ("nuclear holocaust") in the last 20 years. Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, have all casually used the phase "nuclear holocaust" while speaking to the American public.

> they aren't wrong about the meaning of the phrase to contemporary english speakers.

I am a contemporary English speaker, I grew up during 9/11. "Ground Zero" as a noun means a reference to 9/11. Using it normally like "starting from ground zero" is completely understandable and non-controversial to me. My opinion of course.
No, you shouldn't run most things on the main thread. Don't access files, and don't do lengthy calculations.
Getting a console game published is just not the same as a mobile app. Say what you will about the specific value but the process is much more involved and exclusive for consoles. Everything published to a console is of much higher quality than the app stores despite the mobile approval process. In this way its much easier for the console platform owners to argue that they are providing clear value.

Mobile app store approval is really a joke by comparison. Its easier to argue that mobile app approval's main purpose is to provide market control.

That said, its just about what is easier to argue in court and where to start. Epic would probably ask opt to put the store on consoles if they were given the chance.
