> Can you provide a more specific argument or evidence? To me, it seems obvious that two lanes has less capacity than four lanes. Therefore, a two lane road will have worse traffic, all other things held equal.

While it's true that two lanes have less capacity than four, it's also measuring the wrong value - throughput is what you want to optimize for. This means you have to take a bunch of additional factors into account, for example:

- How many lanes do the connections to other roads have? Any time you're reducing the number of lanes, you're creating potential bottlenecks. If you have one lane, then widen up to four, and narrow back to one, you'll most likely have worse throughput than if you'd just kept one lane.

- How much space do you have for switching lanes? The more lanes, the more time people need to get into the correct one for their destination. You need to telegraph exits etc. much earlier.

- Do surrounding roads have space for the additional induced traffic? Time and time again, extra lanes have made traffic problems worse instead of better.

There are of course also disadvantages, e.g. the impact of any single lane being blocked. It's a complex and fascinating topic, especially considering the similarity to other networks (e.g. computer, biological).

They attempted to virtue signal to a market with a very low interest in beer, while at the same time pushing away anyone sick of constant virtue signalling.

And who's sick of the virtue signalling? Beer drinking straight dudes.

It's not just a culture war issue, it's an issue of gross incompetence in marketing and a failure to understand the demographics of their customer base.
A really interesting question here, to me, is if aphantasia is more common now than it was before. There's a whole collection of non-"neurotypical" conditions that seem more common now (though its always possible they are just diagnosed more and more likely to be expressed in lifestyles that require more complex thought). It also seems likely that our focus on literal "visualization" (picturing a picture) is amplified by the media that surrounds us - thousands of high fidelity photos of the world. Perhaps previous generations simply had less cause to try to visualize things in a "photo-realistic" way?

I doubt selective logging can replace regular burns, but unfortunately there's a great deal of opposition to doing that. Mostly by people living in those fire-prone areas.
People want big cars and people want everyone else to pay for them. Build big parking spaces for free. Widen roads for free. Not cover costs of accidents or otherwise the insurance would be too much. Not pay for all the polluting either.

It comes down to: "I want to drive big, loud, smelly, dangerous car free of any consequences for fraction of the cost". We don't tolerate such desires in other areas but cars somehow get free pass still.

Unlikely that rolling it back would work, because all the regulars have stopped visiting. They wouldn't know about the price reduction. The few that did (or maybe there's a huge sign out front), would assume it's temporary.

Dismissing this as "just running numbers" exemplifies management that has no idea who their customers are, their priorities,
or why they choose that particular gas station over others nearby. It was rather obvious to the in-store clerks that the $1 coffee was a draw that often enabled another $5-10 in sales per visit, and since some of these people were daily customers, many of them contributed thousands annually. Try to get all of that back from an extra 1 dollar.
At least as early as 2002, the MSF in California taught that lane sharing is legal in California.
I'm piling on at this point, but I appreciate that this got me to go read and learn a few more things (that the internet says are true, anyways).

Lane splitting has never been illegal in CA, but is apparently illegal in all other US states. (Having been in CA for about 10 years, I've gotten used to it, but think it's still crazy. Definitely have seen it on highways in the midwest before that, too)

This link was informative: https://www.kqed.org/news/11680481/10-things-you-need-to-kno...

Basically, not illegal; the 2016 law passed just said, "CA Highway Patrol can make guidelines", which was in response to a previous attempt by the CHP to give those guidelines. Helpfully the article includes those guidelines, too.

Isn't this what systemd run0 is now doing?

There's a new tool in systemd, called "run0". Or actually, it's not a new tool, it's actually the long existing tool "systemd-run", but when invoked under the "run0" name (via a symlink) it behaves a lot like a sudo clone. But with one key difference: it's *not* in fact SUID. Instead it just asks the service manager to invoke a command or shell under the target user's UID. It allocates a new PTY for that, and then shovels data back and forth from the originating TTY and this PTY. Or in other words: the target command is invoked in an isolated exec context, freshly forked off PID 1, without inheriting any context from the client (well, admittedly, we *do* propagate $TERM, but that's an explicit exception, i.e. allowlist rather than denylist).
One could say, "run0" is closer to behaviour of "ssh" than to "sudo", in many ways.

You've got it completely backwards. If you have a piece of evidence with a high signal-to-noise ratio, you don't validate that with a mechanism that has an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio. That's completely scientifically and statistically unsound.

Good summary. No idea why it gets downvoted. People want big cars for selfish and arm-race reasons. They don't pay for the consequences so it's rational as well. When it's rational to engage in an arm race we need regulation but we are not getting any.
> In the US side walk are already hilariously under designed and roads are already hilariously over designed.

So many people jog in the streets exactly for this reason. Sidewalks are often poorly maintained and falling apart. I'm not sure how anyone handicapped is supposed to get around.

In a previous life, during heavy winter storms, I would commonly walk in the streets because they were maintained while the sidewalks were covered in ice. The city once changed its plowing algorithm due to angry drivers but for sidewalk maintenance they act almost powerless.

Years ago I visited Amsterdam and the pedestrian experience was incredible. It was like walking around a theme park. Ever since that experience I can't unsee the hell we've created in the states with our cars-first mentality.

You don't need a trusted central party. You can sign using just shamir shares with a multi-round MPC protocol without ever reconstructing the real key. There's round-optimized schemes like MuSig2 and FROST for specifically schnorr-based signatures, which GPG doesn't support but are used in other places. I don't know what the effort to integrate that into git would look like.
I'm currently working with 150MB worth of gzipped JSON - marshalling the full file from JSON to ruby hash eats up a lot of memory. One tweak that allows for easier lazy iteration over the file (while keeping temporary disk Io reasonable) is to pipe it through zcat, jq in stream mode to convert to ndjson, gzip again - for a temp file that ruby zlib can wrap for a stream convenient for lazy iteration per read_line...).

Generally marshalling a gig or more of JSON (non-lazily) takes a lot of resources in ruby.

Reading selectively makes sense, but I’d argue there can still be value in critically reading content the style of which you’d rather not emulate directly. For one, you may not always have a choice if you need to research something specific and there’s no high quality source available. You can also learn to pick out distinguishing characteristics of modern writing in order to subvert popular convention or adjust (not abandon) your style to be more accessible for the target audience.
Don’t work on terrible weapons. If you’re smart enough to create them you’re smart enough not to misuse them.
But the last act in creation is relinquishing control.
You’re putting them in the hands of people who aren’t smart enough to build them. And you don’t get to choose who that is.

The US president who bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki didn’t even fully understand that he was bombing civilian targets. How could he be so stupid? Do you even have to ask? Think quietly for five minutes about the average intelligence of politicians. About their ability to think calmly and consider facts when making decisions. If you do that you’ll never work on weapon systems again.

There's an old saying: "Yesterday's AI is today's algorithm". Few would consider A* search for route-planning or Alpha-Beta pruning for game playing to be "Capital A Captial I" today, but they absolutely were back at their inception. Heck, the various modern elaborations on A* are mostly still published in a journal of AI (AAAI).
They are useful repeatedly because they derive from fundamental properties of the observable universe. We can imagine other sorts of universes - one with hyperbolic geometry as opposed to flat, for instance ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_universe ). Parts of geometry would work differently there, and laws of motion as well. But interestingly, many fundamental rules of math would still apply. Just with different outcomes which are less useful for predicting results here.

> Driving is like smoking only much worse.

That is a weird comparison. Smoking has no objective upsides, unless you count pleasure or the stimulant effect of nicotine. Driving, on the other hand, has a huge utilitarian aspect that is impossible to ignore. There are many things you cannot accomplish using public transit, and many of the counter arguments are transparently made by young healthy individuals with a lot of stamina, plenty of spare time, and no children. And probably no house. That may seem like utopia to some folks but it completely ignores reality, so the argument is dead on arrival.

ClearHealth and it's affiliated companies were acquired in 2017. ClearHealth the EMR stopped open source releases in 2017/2018. You can kind of hair split what is and isn't an "EMR" but if you want a system most providers would call an EMR it is extremely difficult to have it be any sort of open source anymore. Basic fundamentals like procedure codes, diagnosis codes, eprescribing, billing, drug databases, interoperability, mandatory reporting and certifications all involve large fees, licensing and other ongoing costs. At ClearHealth our main business was healthcare management. We spent about ~2 million a year on those things, we released what was not encumbered otherwise under the GPL. The EMR is still used and maintained internally by some larger institutional users.

How you can beat the 'Sunday scaries'
I would have multiple camera footage. One gopro would be just be a wide-angle of the bench behind the players, another would be on the game clock, and additional ones would be on-ice footage. Typically my gopro set-up has been behind the goalie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCavsdzc-OY) and the rinks have Livebarn feeds (here's one on my YT from 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WEE9y4cAHg) but there are challenges in quality abound.
This is a big part of why I think LLMs can lead to AGI: humans clearly exist who can think equally well despite having some major gears in their brain going in different directions from each other. If you told me that there was a human who could only think by speaking and who experienced their entire reality and cognition in a textual form, occasionally augmented by flashes of visual or auditory data, I would not be willing to comfortably put an upper limit on their IQ despite all that. I'd just say "yeah, I guess? Weirder things have happened."
It's hard to judge misinformation at this point since it is quite clear that the government and mainstream media tried to censor any opposing views and withheld plenty of information that might have helped people make a more informed decision. Today's misinformation, as we have found can turn out to be tomorrow's facts.
The Federal government made a deal with forrest communities. We will have national forests that you won't get any property tax revenues from, but you will get revenue from the forestry, mining, and other economic activity on that land.

Then the federal government shutdown most economic activity, and local communities had to shutdown their schools and other government functions (while at the same time losing their lumber mills). Of course no one that mattered cared because it only impacted 'flyover people' and coastal people don't care if they break their commitments (in the form of the federal government that represents them).

I'd love to see sometime in my lifetime the feds get held accountable to keep the promises they made in the past that they just stop keeping, while the feds use the full force of the law to ensure THEIR side of the deals are kept up.

There's nothing wrong with CO2 emissions, as long as they remain carbon-neutral. So if you capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and then use it to synthesize methanol or methane, then there are no problems with that.

Methanol is slightly preferred because methane can leak, and it's a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. However, even most of the CH4 leaks happen near the drilling wells, and in pipelines. It's unlikely that synthetic CH4 will have to be transported over long distances.

Slightly unrelated: Did the building owner/landlord complain about that? Is it legal?

I know a friend of mine whom the building asked to remove a camera they had. It was a camera used only to record the hill view in front of the building, so it isn't violating any privacy, and it was attached with magnets, so no damage whatsoever.
As an adjacent observation: the tone in NYPD’s official responses is a clear signal that (1) they don’t particularly care about what the city’s primary financial official has to say, and consequently (2) that their budget is insufficiently controlled and overseen by the city’s democratically elected leaders. It’s remarkable (but not particularly surprising) to see so much open disdain for basic civic interest, including the open claim that the people of NYC are too stupid to understand the value of a service the NYPD pays for with their tax dollars.

No, it addresses that point. Paragraph 7 acknowledges it. Needs no oxygen at all.
That's one way to put it. Another way to put it is "most". The City has the largest number of financial firms, the largest share of office space, and the largest share of trading volume and assets under management. It's home to the Bank of England and the London Stock Exchange, and will be home to HSBC when it finishes its move there from Canary Wharf.

Those firms have been accused--indirectly--of money laundering. If they're engaged in that vice, it's plausible to me they would add the additional vice of protecting it from scrutiny. I.e. engaging in "secrecy." It need not collude with the government to do so, but if it did it would hardly be the first time business and government colluded under a veil of secrecy.

As for what the actual City of London Corporation runs, since you didn't answer the question, I'll answer it for you. In addition to collecting bins and operating one school, it also runs a police department.
