Ship tracks are concentrated to an from that continent. So the effect of the clearing of those tracks was concentrated on those oceans. The fact that they could warm more easily than expected, only mattered when they started to warm. And then a sufficient area warmed sufficiently quickly to impact global ocean temperatures.

That's the problem with snarky dismissals like the one that you just gave. Often they are missing some important point that will move the think you are ridiculing from ridiculous, to surprisingly reasonable. And if that happens, you're the one who looks bad.

As an alternative, I would suggest curiosity questions. If there is no good answer, your point is still made. And if there is one, you will still look good. The only disadvantage is that you don't get the pleasure of that "gotcha" moment.

The Acela corridor is well suited for HSR. A few years ago Amtrak was trying to divest its long haul routes that lose money and reinvest in upgrading Acela, which would make it profitable. Unfortunately the plan fell through for political reasons.

Neither. Almost all of the dams involved were built before 1920 and before we had powergrids. They were usually originally intended for some local industrial use and put out a (now) negligible amount of power.

They're also at the end of their service life. You can't leave them, they will eventually burst and kill people. Replacing them is useless, they don't do anything useful. The best solution is to remove them, which has the huge added bonus of unclogging the rivers and restoring the ecosystem and fish habitat.

For me it's usually something like a full orchestra. I assume that is because our brains are already trained on the erratic arrangements and multitude of different sounds of a real orchestra - it pattern matches the noise better than say smooth jazz.

You probably should replace "auditory" with "auditory or visual or conceptual or ??? - depending on the specific human"

I don't use any kind of verbal tools (either silent or out loud) in that process, I think different people use different tools for that process.
I think you are deliberately missing the point. Part of the regulation of insurance companies and utilities is price controls. We have decades of experience with these price controls not causing a problem. The act of having a price control does not cause supply to dry up and the market to fall apart as you say. Of course a poorly implemented price control can cause that. Price controls in and of themselves do not cause supply problems.
> So while it's great you are't covering any risk for us down here, risk is still being spread, which is what insurance is for btw.

All federal taxpayers are subsidizing Florida and much of the southeast coast via NFIP, and have been for a long time.

And insurance is for spreading unknown and unlikely risks. Spreading costs from likely and known risks is called a subsidy.

This is a really cool idea you're sharing from Martin Heidegger, I feel like it puts to words part of why I tend to side a bit more with Apple on this.

It seems adjacent to my thinking of who (and under what authority) can tell a company that they need to dedicate their resources to work on something they don't want to? In this case, the outcome would be the DOJ basically forcing Apple to use it's resources to help Samsung/Google. Apple certainly has the resources to do this, but it feels like there's a missing logical bridge here and that it sets a precedent that is based somewhat just on the current zeitgeist.

I acknowledge this could just be my interpretation of everything, and that if there's political will and support for action to be taken, then so it goes.

Sqlite3 is universal, but now your spec is entirely reliant on Sqlite3's format and all the quirks required to support that.

If you actually care about the future, spec out your own database format and use that instead. It could even be mostly a copy of Sqlite3, but at least it would be part of the spec itself.
Since our entire perception of reality is a carefully controlled hallucination based on our fairly crude sensory inputs, this is not surprising at all.
Hey folks, another option that I've settled on (after messing with shaarli, shiori and a few others) is Buku.

Usually I really like plain text instead of dbs, but the killer here for me, I realize, is that I'm not tied to any one method of input OR output. Mainly, I do adding through a bookmarklet, and retrieval through "bukuserver," a self-hosted web thing. But also, I have the option of the command line (for bulk adding) as well as browser addons and other things, and (I use Syncthing) it doesn't matter "where" the db is, either on my machine or hosted on a vps.

>because they didn't bring a spare chassis to replace the one their other (better) driver crashed

You re making it sound like that was a goof. They didn't bring a spare chassis because they couldn't afford one because they have not much money.

>They've shown signs for the last decade of being behind the times in terms of manufacturing logistics; this isn't the first time in recent years they've been riding the edge in terms of having a car built on time.

And yet despite being massively outdated and underfunded, they can still outperform teams like Alpine(former Renault) who have more money. It's actually impressive what they can achieve given their circumstances.

Thanks for informing me to the history of the CAB decisions. In the end though, it still seems like American and Braniff weren't happy people were sticking it out with Love instead of their larger and fancier airport, and deregulation gave people the market to choose which airport they really wanted to go to until the Wright amendment forced people again. Even knowing this additional history of it being a joint decision pre-deregulation, I'd still argue my earlier viewpoint still has a good bit of truth to it. American Airlines (and a few others) wanted people to use the new airport instead of the airport the people wanted and got Congress to force people to go to DFW. GSW failed because people didn't really want it. DFW would have failed post deregulation as well if the federal government didn't force it to succeed.

FWIW I do agree this was ultimately a good thing in the end though. It would not have been good for DFW airport to fail, and the region definitely did need a larger airport.

It seems like we do agree with this line though:

> nobody would have bothered going out there if they weren't forced to by federal law.
While the planes can’t fix needing to show up at the airport early, business class fares (usually) help. Priority security and priority checkin mean that, while you can’t show up 5 minutes before your flight, you also don’t need to show up 3 hours early. And, if you do, you have a lounge to relax in with as much food and drink as you can swallow while you wait.

I would imagine that every seat on these flights would be a business or first class fare (as I don’t see any other way they can make money), and would get you all of those benefits.

In this connection, the book Lavengro by George Borrow is interesting reading.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavengro

Excerpts from the Wikipedia article:

Lavengro: The Scholar, the Gypsy, the Priest (1851) is a work by George Borrow, falling somewhere between the genres of memoir and novel, which has long been considered a classic of 19th-century English literature.

Theodore Watts, in an introduction to the 1893 edition, declared that "There are passages in Lavengro which are unsurpassed in the prose literature of England".[9] This edition started a run of reprints which produced one or more almost every year for 60 years. Lavengro was included in the Oxford University Press World's Classics series in 1904, and in Everyman's Library in 1906.[10]

When I read the title, I thought it was a new operating system-level containerization image format for filesystem layers and runtime config. But it looks like "container format" is a more general term for a collection of multiple files or streams into one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_format TIL.

OS containers could use an update too, though. They're often so big and tend to use multiple tar.gz files.
> Is it really that hard to just not give kids these devices or maybe you know… spend quality human time with them?

Sadly yes. I do not have kids, but a lot of my friends do.
Beside the peace of mind of having basically a tracking device wih your kids at any time, not having a phone in theses day and age can be dramatic for some kids social life.

In term of spending quality time, yes in a perfect world that would be ideal... but life is life. Between works, house chores and simply life... Some parent just don't have the energy to give their kids full attention at every time of the day.

Maybe. But parents are human and human fail. A good society take into account the limits of being a human and design rules around those limits.

Military supersonics just aren't that important. We don't have Mach 3+ planes anymore not because we forgot or some nonsense, but because the things we used them for we now use space for: Need to spy on someone?

What is patently untrue is that Fitbit was ever given a fair chance to be as good as a product when paired with an iPhone. That is what my comment was originally pointing out, that there are other consumers out there with agenda to not buy another wrist computer brand.

I just thought the article paragraph was a bold take and not true (and obviously 9to5mac is biased), and it resulted in flagging which is unfortunate but not uncommon for any Apple criticism threads.
> Pack format is based on the universal and arguably one of the most safe and stable file formats, SQLite3, and compression is based on Zstandard, the leading standard algorithm in the field.

yeah, no thanks. SQlite3 automatically means:

- Single implementation (yes, it's a nice one but still a single dependency)

- No way to write directly to pipe (SQlite requires real on-disk file)

- No standard way to read without getting the whole file first

- No guarantees in number of disk seeks required to open the file (relevant for NFS, sshfs or any other remote filesystem use)

- The archive file might be changed just by opening in read-only mode

- Damaged file recovery is very hard

- Writing is explicitly not protected against several common scenarios, like backup being taken in the middle of file write

- No parallel reads from multiple threads

Look, sqlite3 is great for it's designed purpose (embedded database). But trying to apply for other purposes is often a bad idea.
