How much of that standard of living is based on credit, though? Credit is largely based on income. Housing, payment flexibility for amenities and vacations, big ticket purchases that reduce long-term costs, etc.

When 3/4 of those making less than 50k and 2/3 of those making less than 100k are living paycheck to paycheck, that extra flexibility influences quality of life quite a bit.

Quote (https://www.bankrate.com/finance/credit-cards/living-paychec...):

* Statistics vary, but between 55 percent to 63 percent of Americans are likely living paycheck to paycheck.

* Three in four Americans who earn less than $50,000 are living paycheck to paycheck, compared to roughly two in three of those making $50,000 to $100,000.
I’m grateful to be ~30 minutes away from totality. But I’m still shooting to spend the extra 2-3 hours driving to a place typically only an hour away just because it affords opportunities after the eclipse to entertain us while the traffic leaving the destination can taper out. On the previous eclipse, it took us about 3 hours to drive 20 miles, after the event. I’m not making that mistake again.
But before you even got to the point of printing, the paper in a regular laser or inkjet printer wouldn't even feed properly if upside down!

I'm also willing to bet that whether or not the droplets are "fired" at the paper or not, the inkjet cartridges aren't going to work in an inverted position: they might not even supply ink in that configuration.
I got "rich" also, but I've never speculated, and TBH I've sold, and spent, more spent than sold at all kind of valuations, and most of the riches are still unrealized, so, sorry if I doubt what you say.
That worked well for Joseph Nacchio.
This is one of the many reasons that means tested, rather than universal programs end up producing perverse outcomes. People in countries with universal healthcare, daycare and education do not have to limit their participation or productivity in the real economy in order to access essential services.

Certainly sounds like massive and systemic security problems in the App Store. I don't know if it's worse or better than on Android though.
We're not going to fully transition for awhile. Solar, wind, and storage are all terrific, but we'll need to keep natural gas and some amount of coal around for quite a while. It will run less and less, but will be critical when it gets really hot or cold and the wind/sun. Mandating a transition away isn't really necessary as those resources are all starting to retire anyway. It's a pretty complicated industry between the electricity markets and state/regional regulators.

Just because wind and solar are cheaper (also heavily subsidized via the IRA) doesn't mean it's all we need. They're intermittent and not dispatchable in the same way the older traditional resources were. One solution is to build a massive amount of batteries or a large DC macro grid, but even then, it won't solve all the problems and the massive projected growth in demand. Making demand more price responsive won't solve the problem either in all cases.

There's a lot of folks like NERC (in charge of reliability of the bulk electric system for the US and Canada) and MISO (a large regional organization that handles reliability on a regional level) sounding the alarm on this.
I don't think there is long term evidence that ESG adds alpha. Even if it did in the past, there's no reason to believe it will continue once it is being gamed as it is now and the term becomes amorphous. Texas ever investing in ESG in the first place was the ideologically impure thing to do, if their only goal is performance.
That's a good link (that I should have posted). I suspect that some of the yellow (maybe even red) hexes in the U.S., and maybe some in Europe too, are due to that effect.

For people doubting that aircraft maneuvering can affect navigation accuracy as reported by ADS-B, I found a fun example. Around 1300 UTC today (0800 Texas time), 4 T-38s took off from Laughlin AFB for what looks like training, with lots of maneuvering. This link shows what it looks like when mapped in 2D: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adffc3,adfff9,adffd2,ae...

Here's a 60 second segment of the track of one of those jets, STEER21, that captures a steep turn and dive: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfff9&lat=30.067&lon=-...

If you click on the track, you can inspect the ADS-B data at that point in time in the sidebar on the left. If you scroll to the bottom of that sidebar, there's an "ACCURACY" section, that shows the Estimated Position Uncertainty (EPU). You can see it change from better than < 30 meter uncertainty to > 18.5 km(!) uncertainty as it performs the maneuver.

I made a video that shows how to see those values, and also shows the maneuver in a 3D viewer so you can see how steep the dive is (it's steep!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfHlpnEdHxw

(The viewer uses a generic aircraft model, FYI, don't be distracted by that.)

Reddit is a lemon.

"Some invitees say they’re worried about the company’s financial situation. Reddit recorded a net loss of $90.8 million last year, an improvement from 2022, when its deficit came it at $158.6 million. The company said in its prospectus that it’s racked up a cumulative loss of $716.6 million."

Reddit's CEO and COO made $193M and $93M in 2023 but their CFO "only" made $6.6M

So if you eliminate the CEO and COO, they have a profitable business. Given those two have tried to kill the community over and again, why keep them?

Live migration of a file system is like replacing the foundation of your house while still living in it. It’s not the same thing as updating apps which would be more like redecorating a room. Sure it’s possible, but it’s very risky and a lot more work than simply doing a full backup and restore.

"The point is desalination isn’t some magic fix that makes everything ok. The remaining salt is probably the biggest issue."

No, but it is a whole lot easier close to the sea. Like most of UAEs cities are. The remaining salt, you could just pipe out in the ocean, if you go in some km towards a current and spread it out enough. Salt in the ocean is only a local problem, if it does not diffuse quickly enough.

And for deserts with a high altitude or that are more inland, no, desalination is probably not the solution.
It's easy to get the canonical answer:

$ man pcre2syntax

Where you'll find the following block under ANCHORS AND SIMPLE ASSERTIONS:

$ end of subject
also before newline at end of subject
also before internal newline in multiline mode

So all the cases of "newline at/before end of subject" are covered here. Then, the question becomes "what is a subject?" Is it line-by-line? Are newlines included? What if we want multiline matching? That's where re.MULTILINE comes from, it's not "multiline matching" (sort of) it's "what is the subject of the regular expression that we're matching against"

> i believe the security warnings are a good thing and should not be outlawed.

Here's the thing. They're only warning on non-App Store apps, which to me is also problematic, because it creates a perception of security on the App Store which isn't actually real. LassPass, anyone?

Apple can allow actual turds like that on the App Store without a security warning, but the most inspected/reviewed app on an external store is getting a "downloading this app may be risky".

Thanks. It's not too surprising that Canada would do things similarly to the US, perhaps sans some of the over-the-top use of surplus military equipment and with fewer donuts.

By all accounts, heavily armed security (and I'm sure it's not just sworn law enforcement officers, but also private security) in tourist areas are a bigger thing in Mexico than elsewhere in North America.
This is big, because Rust and Debian have a philosophical disagreement how software should be updated, and so far this has left Debian users with a Rust package that is not supported by a significant portion of the Rust ecosystem.

Rust has an "evergreen" approach to updates, like Chrome, focusing on making updates so easy and backwards-compatible that there's nothing stopping users from always using the latest version. Debian prefers quite the opposite, and they'd rather keep outdated software with known bugs than to risk updating and bringing new bugs.

Having rustup-init is a compromise, allowing Debian users to have an up-to-date non-Debian Rust version, without `curl | sh`.

No. I am pointing out how being unable to communicate makes it very hard to determine intelligence. It is hard to determine if another human is smart without being able to speak the same language or explain the procedure and contents of the test.

Given that there is no known means to effectively communicate with animals, we are restricted to tests that do not demand shared communication to identify intelligence. These tests must be benchmarked on mutually unintelligible humans.

For instance, a grade school Chinese exam might be a good way of gauging the intelligence of Chinese children, but is a terrible way of gauging the intelligence of French children. Such a test is lousy in certain domains. We must be cognizant of such testing methodology limits in the design of animal intelligence tests.

tl;dr A test that would fail animals and speakers of a different language are not good tests. An animal intelligence test needs to at least pass all humans of comparable intelligence regardless of language to reach the bare minimum of acceptability.
In The Stack FAQ, they claim that they are doing minimal analysis of the LICENSE file and SPDX tags.

The way that's currently implemented is actually just one memory operation these days. L2 (or really wherever coherency is mostly managed) has a tiny ALU so in addition to read or write, atomicop is an operation you can send to L2. It'll gain Modified or Exclusive access to the cache line(s) that op is addressed to and just do the operation right there. That way the normal cache protocol is all you need for atomicity, and really the line is only contended for a single cycle from the L2 controller's (and the rest of the coherency peers) perspective.

That's why they retconned the lock prefix to not be an actual assertion of the #LOCK signal any more.

That's also why TileLink and AMBA include atomic ops like addition and bitwise ops in their coherency protocols rather than just 'claim region'.

That's also why you see newer archs like RISC-V and Arm64 that have both lr/sc style ops, in addition to direct atomic memory ops like amoadd.w, it better matches the primitives of the underlying memory system.

It has an open-source format, you can create animations yourself as well. Plus this renderer is literally a desktop app, isn’t it? It is as cross platform as it gets, with this project being the most optimized implementation.

One thing I love about C++ is it (mostly) stops me making type errors, compared to dynamic languages - "compile and it works". Adding type constraints makes programming safer, easier, and results in better compilation.

You can add other constraints (e.g. temporal constraints) and get similar benefits, on top of the above.
Your last paragraph makes no sense to me.

There were plenty of places which published long, complex, nuanced data and explanations about ivermectin.

But lots of people are unable to understand complex writing or statistics. And most people have little understanding of biology, medicine or disease. This led to widespread misinformation, which in turn led people to try to simplify out all the complexity, and trim it down to basic things like "ivermectin doesn't work" and "don't take horse medicine when your doctor refuses to prescribe ivermectin to you".

The messaging you think would have "prevented a lot of wasted time" was exactly the messaging in the medical reports that started the whole problem. Dumbing it down was a response to the "internet arguments".

I was looking for something about how the company actually made money, but only found this:

> It’s a dramatic exodus that comes less than 18 months after Stability’s 2022 fundraise that valued the company at $1 billion. Now, the company is facing a cash crunch, with spending on wages and compute power far outstripping revenue, according to documents seen by Forbes. Bloomberg earlier reported that the company was spending $8 million a month. In November 2023, CEO Emad Mostaque tweeted that the company had generated $1.2 million in revenue in August, and would make $3 million in November. The tweet was later deleted.

This sounds a lot like the two-year period leading up to the dot com crash. Insane valuations and no revenue model. Meanwhile those insanely-valued companies bought Sun Microsystems servers like there was no tomorrow. When the games ended, a lot of those insanely-valued companies went to zero and left a massive overhang of Sun hardware in their wake. Sun began its long nosedive not long after that.
