It's harder to quarantine when other animals that can get infected can fly. It can spread via dust too.

Animal farms of this size are effectively in a permanent state of quarantine anyway. Employees take chemical showers and change clothes to ingress and egress.

Anyway, it's probably cheaper to start from scratch. Quarantine would mean spending millions to keep chickens alive you couldn't sell or do anything with and hope the flu eventually spreads through the flock and no samples come back positive AND it doesn't spread the entire time.
About 25 years ago (about this time of year) I was in Sydney, Australia - I was in a hostel and popped to the minibus to read their A2Z maps to look up a job I was heading to. I was a mild autumn day, maybe 16c.

As I got in the van I heard a clonk, and thought someone threw a stone at the van, then another, and another - suddenly sweeping down the street was a wall of huge hailstones as big as cricket balls - they fell for about 3 minutes then stopped.

You would have had a short time to run and hide - but if you were in a tent it would be horrible and potentially dangerous - equally if you were out somewhere open without cover.

The damage to roofs and cars was massive. I'm sure they gave some exception to driving with broken windscreens as so many were broken at one time, that loads of cars couldn't get theirs replaced.

Edit - realised their must be a Wikipedia article about it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Sydney_hailstorm
Proxy auto config (PAC) supports specifying different proxies for different URLs. Unfortunately, a PAC file is just a file that contains a JavaScript function to pick the proxy, so they're crazily over-powered for the task, and support for them isn't very broad. Browsers support them, but I guess most command line tools wouldn't.

You could update Archlinux with pacman over ipfs from around 2015 until last year.

Yep. Bottom-up reset of {SC,C,P}OTUS will require the nonviolent, sustained direct action from about 10 million people for about 2-3 months or until they relent. The dysfunction and corruption is such that it cannot be reformed from within because there are no meaningful checks & balances levers to pull in this state, and the near-term likely exploitation of an analogous vulnerability to Gödel's (unknown) Loophole.

1. Undo gerrymandered district absurdity

2. Primary every COTUS official who fails to meet minimum standards outlined above

3. Rebalance SCOTUS in apolitical fashion and restore integrity, including impeaching Thomas and Alito for ethical lapses

4. Ratify NPVIC (needs a few big states' help)

5. Eliminate PACs because influence peddling isn't "speech"

7. Same-day voter registration also everywhere

8. Federal national holiday for voting

9. Restoration of 50% effective corporate tax rate and 38% effective capital gains tax rate

10. Single-payer universal healthcare and medication coverage for all, superseding Medicare and its corporate co-insurance complexification, like UK NHS except without government-takeover of last mile delivery

In today's new fangled world, a lot of developers don't use a lot of the great stuff that RDBMS can provide - stored procedures, SQL constraints, even indexes. The modern mindset seems to be that that stuff belongs in the code layer, above the database. Sometimes it's justified as keeping the database vanilla, so that it can be swapped out.

In the old days you aimed to keep your database consistent as far as possible, no matter what client was using it. So of course you would use SQL constraints, otherwise people could accidentally corrupt the database using SQL tools, or just with badly written application code.

So it's not hard to see why more esoteric functions are not widely used.
Common fallacy is to imagine that the exact same deal at the same price would have happened without a broker. A lot of people are going to look at this and imagine that if they just eliminated the broker, they'd get an additional $88,900 in their pocket.

That's not how it works, though. Without a broker you may not find a buyer at all. If you do, you might not know how to price the business. Even if you could find the same buyer at the same price, they might be uncomfortable dealing with someone who doesn't know how to navigate the sale of a business and end up backing out.

For some very small web businesses, you can usually get away with a broker. Nobody is dropping $90K on a broker to sell their $50K side project on one of those business buy/sell websites, obviously. However, once you get into the territory of niche hardware businesses, it's very helpful to have someone on your side who can help navigate the situation.
the laws will more and more prohibit LLMs to produce "dangerous" information, "biological weapons" and the likes (down to the maps of public access to beaches). The information is coming from training data. And naturally that way the laws press for removing "dangerous" information from the training data. Once established as a matter of practice that you can't legally access "dangerous" info through the LLM, the natural question arises why you still can access it through the browser, and society will be mentally ready to prohibit the access through the browser too. Voila. Wet dream of the government. If you can't successfully mount frontal attack, you do flank maneuver.

For a moment I imagined Tom Bombadil programming in Forth.

It's his same exact nonsense doggerel poetry, as sung by Andy Serkis in the LOTR audiobook (which you MUST listen to, if you have not! )

There is no such thing as owning an "older car" here in the midwest rust belt states. The frames corrode to orange dust on _every_ car when they get to be between 10-12 years old. You _do_ see cars older than that on the road, but that's only because we don't have mandatory inspections in my state.
The only exceptions here are the "toys" that people buy for summer use only. (Sports cars, vintage cars, etc.)

Once in a while I see repair videos on cars from mechanics in Florida, Texas, Arizona, or Southern California. The car will be 15 years old and everything underneath will look entirely brand-new (minus some dust and scratches) compared to a brand-new car here that has seen only a winter or two.

The Kanda-Jimbocho area of Tokyo has over a hundred bookstores within a few blocks [1].

Aside from a few years during the pandemic, I've been buying books there regularly for four decades. The neighborhood has evolved over time, and some large stores that stocked only new books have closed. But the market for used and antiquarian books must be strong, as many of the old stores are still in business and quite a few new ones have opened in recent years.

Most of the books are in Japanese, and the neighborhood, despite being centrally located, doesn't attract many foreign tourists.

>> The California government is gearing up for the “increased incarceration costs” and other costs associated with criminalizing AI development if this bill passes

>That is just so odd. Weren't they the state focusing intently on quicker rehabilitation and alternatives to incarceration but now they are preparing to incarcerate more people over AI models? What is even going on that state.

Why is this a point of contention? Isn't it obvious that any new law that defines a new type of illegal behavior is going to result in increased incarceration costs? It doesn't matter if 99.99% of people convicted of violating a new law never face incarceration. There still will be some people who will be convicted of perjury or other crimes because of this new law and dealing with those people won't be free.

This isn't an endorsement of this regulation, I'm just asking for clarification on why this specific aspect is worth singling out as a problem.

Ok, yep, it’s a common trick in these kinds of discussions to link to a vaguely-related article with a directive to “read up” on the topic but without any commentary on how it specifically supports any claims being made.

This is an interesting move by Google. The watch market for kids is huge and growing. Look at the major companies sales here. Also look at the amount of kid's smart watches available on Amazon and number of reviews (I know, i'm sure some of those are fake yada yada).

The detractors here say "let the kids be free" and "no new tech for kids", but I wonder if those people have kids today? Parents WANT to give their kid's more outdoor freedom in this f'd up world. Tracking products like this give them more peace of mind.

At $10/month (or $5/mo with annual buy), this is competitive and possibly a new recurring revenue stream for Google's consumer products group.

The Guardian claims in this article that "A recession is generally defined by a decrease in economic activity, typically measured as gross domestic product (GDP), over two successive quarters, although in the US the National Bureau of Economic Research (NEBR) has the final say".

If you are going to let the NEBR have the final say, then you can never know whether you are currently in a recession because the NEBR does not those calls until revised data comes in, which takes a long time.

So the Guardian, by its definition of recession, can not know whether Americans are right or wrong about whether the US is in recession (I don't share their definition, there is no official definition of a recession in the US, although the NBER is a highly respected private organization).

In past recessions, most mainstream economists have denied that there was a recession when one was in fact beginning.

> And cars used to be safe even without seatbelts!

No, they weren't, which is why this is a poor analogy. We discovered that seatbelts could save an enormous number of lives with minimal impact on individuals, so we mandated them.

With child safety it's difficult to get comparable numbers (overall crime spiked in the 90s, so it's difficult to say whether kids were less safe because they had less tracking or just that overall crime was higher then), a big reason experts give for the reduction in crime affecting kids is they're simply inside a whole lot more.

They'd be even safer if we just put them in a plastic bubble I guess.

1. As I’m sure you well know the estate tax exemption is measured in 8 figures at this point, so no, you don’t “pay 40%” to the federal government. And that’s leaving aside the fact that the dead person can make billions in capital gains, spend it wildly (via loans) and never pay a fucking dime of taxes on it at all. Nobody ever does, that’s the basis issue. It’s a fucking travesty that it’s the current law.

2. I’m rich. Believe it or not some of us actually give a shit what kind of society we are building.

The real question you should be asking is how does other people having less than you within a deeply unfair system not take away from your happiness.
> In fact, the price is "purely determined" by supply/demand in the scenario you gave. The monopolist is using their monopoly position to create artificial scarcity, thus driving up prices. This is consistent with the law of supply and demand.

Yes, if you look at it from the perspective of only the "supply for sale", then everyone still is a "price taker", so what I said is in full agreement. But if you draw your boundaries to include that additional supply that's hoarded and not for sale, the theory no longer holds. Do you see what I mean now?

In other words, this is entirely a matter of how we define things, and draw our boundaries. How we do that isn't what's important. What is important is that everyone holds the same axioms. For example, we can define 3 means 3 and 3 + 3 = 6, or we can define 3 means 27, and 3 + 3 = 54. But if you think 3 means 3, and someone else thinks 3 means 71, it's hard to have a fruitful conversation as people will be in disagreement. This is why I made the distinction of "supply" and "supply for sale".

So when it comes to building more housing supply, it will never help housing prices no matter how much we build, if that supply which gets built is never for sale. You need to address the issue of what's for sale.

Now you might think this is a silly distinction to make, but it isn't. If the data provided in the top post is any accurate, then there are quite a few more vacant properties than what's listed for sale in many markets, suggesting that needing more supply isn't the core of the problem, but obviously needing more supply for sale is. And IMO, as the top post had earlier mentioned, cheap credit is largely to blame.

> Impossible to say without more information. What is happening around the 2L for sale?

It was just hyperbole to demonstrate a concept. You can of course disagree depending on the circumstances and the axioms you choose, but hopefully you understand the point I was trying to make.
When I was young (several decades ago now, admittedly) parents couldn't track our locations. We largely turned out fine.
