When Apollo used to work (before the 3rd party apps purge), it would let you block any amount of subreddits - the first 100 it would block using the reddit api (which has that as a limit) and everything after, it would filter out on device. I think by the time it stopped working, I was blocking a couple of hundred subreddits.

A SEO company represents a plastic surgeon. They offer money to a news site to publish an advertorial. How's that spam?

In your example there's a first undersized UPS A, then another UPS B, then whatever combination of electrical devices which power usage exceeds UPS A. You say this is problem.

If you have said combination of electrical devices, and if you're assuming we're using an undersized UPS A + the combo of devices, why does the UPS B matter?

If you're going to overload the UPS A you're going to overload the UPS A regardless of UPS B, no? Daisy chaining or not, that doesn't seem like the actual problem to a knee-jerk thinking.

Yes, you have to make approximations and deal with (estimates of) errors.

However, quantum computers also have to deal with noise and errors. So far, that's not very different.

> ...an off-peak trip from Paddington to Canary Wharf would cost £6.70 if buying a paper ticket but £2.80 if using contactless payments.

Is the inference that a single magnetic strip paper ticket costs ~£3.90 per printing? Did TfL reduce the volume of magnetic paper it bought (in relation to this change)? I don't see either of these points mentioned, anywhere in the article.

If it's not that expensive to print on magnetic paper, and TfL has not reduced the volume of the magnetic paper it buys (in relation to the change) then the dramatic price fall seems a bit suspect to me - but maybe that's just me?
Yeah this info, very condensed, should just be on big signs at station. ”You can just tap your credit card and travel, no need to do anything else at all”.

Which is also how it _should_ work.

Of course seniors, kids, period tickets etc are always going to be messy but at least describe the base case: single journey adult - what do I need to do?
There's a few things they can do better in theory.

You should've seen what it was before. Read up on Portuguese drug history before you speak please. Decriminalising drug usage was a good move by the Portuguese government and it improved the population's wellbeing significantly by introducing rehab instead of imprisonment.

Also, you'll find things like that on every capital of the world, no exceptions. Maybe you'll notice it a little less in Singapore, where drug consumption can lead to the death sentence.

This is not specific to surge protection, but extension cords in general.
Note the last image of the article is not correct, if you want full redundancy you need two independent power feeds. How independent depends on your needs of course. You might just want to run it from a different circuit but the same utility power. If you've got insane needs and megabucks you can talk to the utility about being fed from two substations or at the extreme end you can get one feed from the utility and you can make your own second feed. Traditionally we did this with water turbine working from a river but today I might look into solar and perhaps molten salt.

As an example, way back then when this was a very lucrative business, we placed the servers for a premium number erotic call in an industrial park on the border of two districts in Budapest because that's where we could get two independent power feeds without running our own lines. Internet connection wise, one was a simple leased line the other was a microwave connection to very far away. Short of bombing the entire site it was fair impossible for the installation to go offline and -- for the six years I knew about it, it never did. Note the site served German callers, that's where the big bucks came from.

>It's too early to tell for sure but I wouldn't be surprised to see some beautiful things happen here over the course of the next decades.

I would bet the exact opposite.

Let's start off simply with the fact that Berlin is not intended to be SF or SV in any capacity by the German elite(you're better off going to Munich or Frankfurt for that). There is 0 institutional interest to make it an innovation hub on top of the political center, as once again this can be done elsewhere(preferably closer to actual industrial centres).

Secondly, it's simply impossible to get tier 0 tech talent to come to Berlin(unless you give a lot of equity or you have a very elaborate scheme to pay them via offshore, which most startuppers simply don't know how to do) due to salary/tax differentials with either US or even something like Zürich/London.

Lastly, there is 0 evidence that I've seen that German bureaucracy(Berlin included) is going to down, and that's been the case since the last 10 years. This will pretty cleanly stop most innovation.
The UK and Australia both get container loads of cocaine, meth and other drugs, and have thriving local drug networks.

Damn near half the population of Australia has used illicit drugs at one point or another:

According to the 2022–2023 National Drug Strategy Household Survey (NDSHS), an estimated 10.2 million (47%) people aged 14 and over in Australia had illicitly used a drug at some point in their lifetime (including the non-medical use of pharmaceuticals), and an estimated 3.9 million (18%) had used an illicit drug in the previous 12 months. This was similar to proportions in 2019 (43% and 16%, respectively) but has increased since 2007 (38% and 13%, respectively) (Figure 1).

~ https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/illicit-use-of-drugs/illicit...

What Australia does have is proactive health policies, prison terms with rehab, a decent chance of drug use not marking a person for life, etc.
Their quantum theory of the mind ain't exactly accepted by mainstream science, to put it mildly.

I believe that it highly depends on the type of the surge protector, their ratings and the cable network involved. I do not think that it would cause issues in two surge protectors from power outlets connected in series, and depending on their rating and switching characteristics maybe both could trigger, I agree.
And expensive. In many cases if you were poor you needed to be hardworking or already semi successful at business to afford emigration. Plus you'd really get cut off from everything you left behind. Has nothing to do with today's emigration that probably equates to moving to a different town in the same country back then.
The hope though is that by splitting indexing that puts search providers on an equal footing in terms of results quality (at least initially). Advertisers go to Google because users go to Google. But users go to Google because despite recent quality regressions, Google still gives consistently better results.

If search providers could at least match Google quality 'by default' that might help break the stranglehold wherein people like the GP are at the mercy of the whims of a single org
But it doesn't have to work that way. The scheduler could scan the whole (unsorted) list at each tick to see if anything is due. No scheduler worth a jot in production is going to do that, but it could.

Saying that sleep sort is really some better form of insertion sort for this reason seems wrong. You might as well say it is bogosort because the scheduler could be using that (and with 1s sleeps it would be faster than sleepsort most of the time despite being generally worse by normal analysis methods).

If a compiler unrolls a short loop to get an extra lick of speed from the tight outer loop, I don't claim I've been clever¹ and spotted the potential optimisation, I probably don't even know it had happened.

--

[1] At a stretch I could claim the opposite: to be clever because I've resisted the urge to over-optimise manually, potentially producing something less performant than a good compiler would on some/all architecture targets while making the code less maintainable too.

Funny - To put things in perspective, The Wii U sold about 14M units if I am not terribly mistaken, and is considered a flop so legendary that almost ended Nintendo.

Now take in consideration that Nintendo is a fraction of the size of Apple.

400k units is nothing, less than a rounding error for a company the size of Apple. They are not in the business of selling some hundred thousand units of hardware.
You can't. It's one card per traveler.
EZ Air in the Caribbean, there are no sest numbers on the ticket, just sit wherever. Fastest I've ever seen a plane, albeit small, load. The staff were very friendly too. It was so novel, I was excited for my return flight to experience it again.
It'll be largely down to the costs of continuing to support paper tickets I'd imagine. Virtually everyone uses contactless/oyster and paper tickets are more prone to failure both for the ticket and the scanner in a way that both requires assistance and reduces the capacity of a station to process passengers at peak hours
> You can pay for someone else's travel with your contactless card or device if they're travelling with you. You need to pay for your own travel with a different card or device.

I deal with numbers and I see those (England, Wales, Australia, USofA) as "ballpark" close to each other .. relative to 170+ other countries about the globe.

The UK and Australia have similiar policing roles and behaviours, quite different to the US - more uniform within the countries, significantly less use of guns and force, etc.

From personal experience, so far there haven't been any problems with dist-upgrades. Apart from DNF messing up bash/fish completions once, which was an easy fix.

Mind you, Fedora uses BTRFS by default, which means you could also easily do an incremental snapshot before any upgrade.

That's kind of the thing for me, though: Fedora is a very up-to-date, yet very reliable experience for me. It feels, functionally, almost as bleeding edge as Arch, but with much, much less tinkering and worries about upgrades. And again, DNF is my new favorite package manager. Incredibly powerful, but as intuitive as apt.
(Whereas pacman is constant suffering, for me.) Check out the `dnf history` command, how neat is that?

Tho, I love Gnome and having the newest developments available is a huge factor for me personally.

Also, Ubuntu and Debian tend to do come with configuration decisions, which are somewhat unique. Eg. Arch-Wiki (best Linux documentation of any distro IMO) seems to be more often applicable with Fedora for me, since its more conforming to overall Linux developments and vanilla systemd. But that's mostly a feeling.

However, the whole licensing limitations and RPMFusion repo shitshow, are why I don't recommend Fedora to absolute beginners. Some common needs are not addressed in a friendly GUI way, yet, and require understanding of Linux internals. Fedora is a bit too raw for beginners, but perfect for programmers and sysadmins. Oh, and if you do updates through Gnome Software, it asks you to reboot, more often than Windows. Not a good first Linux impression.

Edit: I used "for me" too much, guess I wanted to indicate, I absolutely see how it's not for everyone and your objections are totally valid.
The main point against seems to be that downstream UPS will not like "simulated or modified sine wave" if upstream UPS is not producing "Pure sine wave". To be tested :)
Not really. In your case, you probably have a very high quality pure sine wave inverter that's much larger than the individual UPSes, which will make the downstream UPSes mostly happy as long as you don't approach max load.

Many cheap inverters are not pure sine, and a UPS seeing this waveform may decide it needs to go to battery also.

Practically, a UPS also adds to the current draw, and many people may accidentally exceed the circuit limit because they only look at the useful load but not also the UPS charging load after a power failure ends.

Single traveller per card. You also have to tap out at the end so it can calculate the fare.

If you have more than one card you can let others in your group use those.

Though it’s been a few years since I was travelling with anyone who didn’t have either a contactless card or Apple Pay / the Android equivalent, which also works and is arguably even more convenient.
LLMs can’t reason but neither can the part of your brain that automatically completes the phrase “the sky is…”
Another inference is that TfL has no incentive to reduce the paper ticket cost, as they’d rather you didn’t use one
>Can you explain why you believe that? To me it sounds like baseless scaremongering.

One word: centralization.

As we have seen throughout the years, all means of IPv4 lifetime extension have involved the introduction of state, which is bound to a central node. The HTTP/1.1 Host request header allowed the existence of reverse proxies, the invent of NAT allowed routers to no longer be "just" a dumb packet forwarder. Both technologies are involved in state tracking.

NATs also destroyed the possibility for any two nodes on the Internet to communicate with each other directly, unless workarounds like port forwarding are used. This means that all messages on the Internet must go through a central server, where there can be malicious actors sniffing your traffic. Remember Mark Zuckerberg's infamous "they trust me"? [0]

But it was still somewhat managable during the early 21st century, when free IPv4 addresses were available. Most people had only one layer of NAT (in their routers) which they owned and controlled back then, so P2P were still mostly doable, and services like Skype relied on that. Life went on.

Fast forward to the 2010s, we ran out of IPv4 addresses. CGNATs were starting to be widely deployed so even port forwarding had become impossible. P2P communications ceased to work. Virtual hosting were now ubiquitous. TURN was invented, which of course increased more centralization. [1] Since central servers have to carry even more traffic now (back then they merely mediated the communication between two nodes behind NAT, now they have to relay the entire traffic), it had become more costly to host web services, increasing the barrier to entry.

In the 2020s, people can no longer host servers inside their homes, many have come to rely on centralized technologies or services e.g. VPSes for that purpose. By now, we have mostly given up on peer-to-peer, and moved onto "federation" where we have a web of central servers that clients can connect to -- in the end though, a central server is still a central server that you have to implicitly trust, and some admins of the Fediverse had been discovered performing suspicious activities.

Perhaps I worded my thoughts too strongly in my previous comment, but the trend of centralization is there and continuing. Your own comment has alluded to that fact. Time has shown repeatedly that privacy never fares well under centralization.

The thing is, the Internet as a whole doesn't have to go down this route, had we simply moved onto IPv6 and restored end-to-end communication. Then P2P is possible again. [2] It's IPv4 and its lack of address space that created an environment where people expect there to be a central node. It's just the natural consequence of the statefulness of IPv4-extending technologies like NAT and CGNAT.

Oh well, CGNAT preserves privacy, so they say.

Might be an economies of scale thing? If you're offering paper tickets you need the machines for them, you need to pay to maintain them, that is a minimum cost that you can't really decrease as usage drops. If one machine is servicing a million tickets, the per ticket cost is negligible; if usage drops and you're trying to split the cost among a hundred tickets, it's going to look extortionate.

Cf the guns on the Zumwalt class destroyers.
This was something that was always seen as inspiration in Apple, while they were small. Once a company of that nature gets to a certain size, it becomes far to powerful as any movement in the core business, intentional or otherwise, can influence multiple industries simultaneously.

This is why big companies like this end up with governments defending them, they aren't too big to fail, they are too big for others to let them fail.
Southwest in the U.S. does this too, and you board in the order you checked in. This gives a real advantage to people on the 2nd or later leg of their trip, because they can check in for all their flights 24 hours before the first one is scheduled to leave, whereas anybody whose first or only flight is this specific flight has to wait until 24 hours before this plane is scheduled to take off.
If you're one of the last on board they sometimes try to take your bag away from you.
