I generally love the stuff Pudding does but I found this really hard to follow. Key colors not matching map colors, very similar (indistinguishable) colors used in one case, and the crux new-zone projection looked like a word salad. Haven’t looked on desktop but on mobile I found this whole thing borderline illegible.
It was also a great example of the 'feelies' that came with games back then - the peril sensitive sunglasses and little baggie of belly button lint. It helped bridge the virtual text world with a connection to the physical.
You're right - 1/5 more so than 1/4. And yes, it wasn't all for a single drug at all.
This is red-baiting. Every politician is politically motivated and doesn't actually say anything about why it's bad to ensure people have housing and keep out obnoxious airbnb tourists from residential areas.

Spooky scary socialists, send shivers down your spine. Free healthcare will shock your soul, seal your deed tonight.
That section you quoted doesn't disagree with me. It says that morphemes are monosyllabic, which they are. I'm talking about words, not morphemes. The second paragraph literally says that, "There is a general tendency for words to have one or two syllables". What do you mean "basically - monosyllabic".

I know other Vietnamese speakers who also believe the language is monosyllabic. Honestly, speaking the language is a disadvantage for you here. It's like how most Chinese speakers think that other Chinese languages are dialects and not languages. Or how native English speakers will confidently say that "upward" is a preposition. Speaking a language does not give you insight into its linguistics, only a false sense of confidence about it.
You could, you know, just build more housing. But that would be far too sensible. A 30% social housing requirement seems equally nuts. Who is going to want to build anything with those margins. If you want social housing, that’s great: raise taxes and pay for it. Throwing a massive wrench in the market machinery helps nobody apart from the politician who wants to create the impression that they are “doing something.” The unaffordability crisis is just going to worsen, until you end up with an S.F. situation, where the middle is hollowed out and only the extremes remain.

What could possibly go wrong ?

My money is on what happens every time governments stick their hairy knuckles in the delicate mechanics of the free market: the economy works around them.

IMO, in this case, it will foster a huge black market (because there's strong demand for the stuff) and make a stream of taxable income disappear underground altogether.
How does high drug price incentize to increase the price further, at least any more than low drug price would do.

And US doesn't compel rest of the world to give money in fact it's the opposite. Almost all pharmaceutical company in the world would die if US refuses to increase their price like the rest of the world.
This is about Koppen and simulated shifting due to climate change:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köppen_climate_classification

In the US, for construction, the IECC's system is used, and there was a recent update to a few dozen counties:

> However, with new research based on measured temperature data from over 4000 weather stations throughout North America over the last 25 years, the IECC designated changes to the CZ map for the first time in nearly 20 years. The outcome was that about 10% of counties in the U.S. were placed in a new CZ. In nearly all cases, the shift was to a warmer (lower) CZ, reflecting a general warming of the climate in those areas. The first set of maps below show the old CZs on the left and the new ones on the right. The shaded area across the west in the image on the right highlights the "dry" sub-climates. In most cases, the shift in CZ is relatively subtle.

> claim the roof of the science centre is at risk of collapsing.. the same year that he is proposing to move the science centre to Ontario Place.. "to support a private foreign spa company".. allows public infrastructure to fall apart in order to advance private interests.. "Closing a world-class science and cultural institution is heartbreaking".. "The [province] could have invested in revitalizing the Science Centre, but instead it's using our public money to concoct a sham business case against this important community hub"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario_Science_Centre

When it first opened [in 1969], the Science Centre was a pioneer for its hands-on approach to science, along with San Francisco's Exploratorium and the Michigan Science Center in Detroit. Unlike a traditional museum, where exhibits are for viewing only, the majority of the exhibits at the Science Centre were interactive, while many others were live demonstrations (e.g. metalworking). The Communications room contained a number of computerized displays, including a very popular tic-tac-toe game, run on a PDP-11 minicomputer. By 1974, it hosted about 250,000 students on field trips annually.

Over 50 years, the Ontario Science Centre has introduced hundreds of thousands of students to scientific principles via interactive exhibits. It will now be replaced by a commercial theme park in a tourism venue, rather than serving local students via the new Science Center subway station.

The Ontario Science Centre Science School (OSCSS) offers grade 12 University Preparation courses in STEM subjects.. [and] an interdisciplinary studies credit in science communication.. the program.. is available at no cost to students from anywhere in Ontario. While at the Science Centre, students earn practicum hours through volunteering and interacting with visitors..

Ontario Science Centre was used by David Cronenberg as a location for his 1970 film Crimes of the Future.

Does Canada not have a tech lobby that can outbid construction boondogglers, to defend the next generation of tech talent? Alternately, the US tech lobby could defend the Ontario Science Centre, as part of a talent supply chain that leads to U of Waterloo and subsequent engineering labor pipeline to US tech companies. If the Ontario Science Center and future labor pool must be sacrificed, can they at least fetch a higher price at the altar of special interests?

What the 'Warming Stripes' Tell Us About Climate Change
> Adding support for OIDC is not that difficult. I prefer OIDC over SAML anyway, but neither is that difficult.

Since it seems that you know what you are doing (and you've done it before), how about a blog post detailing the steps one would go through when writing some SaaS app for a client who wants SSO?
Pricing moves at margins, not necessarily driven by totals. Ie. Pricing is primarily driven by the immediate demand and supply situation at a given time. Small changes in availability can have a dramatic effect. Good ways to understand this is to look at underlying data of auctions (richest in data) but pretty much any demand supply granular transaction data will show rhis. For eg. this is why small hoarding locally in emerging markets (where giant supermarkets will not immediately or easily truck in containers of products running short) also generates massive profits for traders.

Housing is of course a bit more complex - pricing is more sticky on the upside than downside (as home owners don't like to rent for less than before and may let units sit idle etc) and "instant" usually windows over weeks but fundamentally similar mechanics work. As an example, in Singapore, the government raised excise duty for non Singaporeans to purchase housing to 65% when housing became overheated. The number of rich foreigners buying property has always been small in absolute but was growing fast in rate as rich family money and bankers from Hong Kong started flowing to Singapore. Prices and also rentals across all classes of housing, not just the super premium properties favoured by the wealthy came down and people who had been pushed down at the margins into less than their preferred value housing (including ourselves) moved back up.

> there is almost no difference with latest versions of Java, and the feature gap closes with every release

Java may be implementing features that Kotlin has had since day 1 (or close-to), but Java's syntax will always be what it is due to it's legacy. It's not "modern" syntax, and the way it handles fluent expressions will always be kludgey.

There is nothing special about Kotlin that required IDEA, other than it's convenient. Kotlin is a bundle of libraries and gradle plugins - so it can work on any IDE, including Eclipse or whatever you prefer.

Java's Optional is also much more kludgey than Kotlin's nullable types

Also, generally when writing Kotlin you don't need to make sure your code is interoperable with Java code - usually you are consuming Java code in your Kotlin code... so things like the suite of `@JVMxxx` annotations are not used. If you are writing a library or framework - then obviously concerns are different.
That is exact thing I am thinking. Funny enough, going there next weekend, haha.
Apple users in the EU aren't going to abandon their iPhones, ecosystem ties and AppStore purchases en masse, and move to Android or some boutique maker like Fairphone just because Apple disabled AI feature for them. A handful might but not enough to scare Apple.

Once people are tied to an ecosystem for many years, they're not just gonna abandon it without a major life inconvenience.
A suite hotel like a Residence Inn has a lot of that. Doesn't replace a whole house rental at the beach and probably doesn't have as many bedrooms. But it's pretty reasonable for a lot of purposes.
Yeah, the concept is cool and there's a lot of neat visual effects going on here, but it doesn't come together well
This completely neglects the opportunity cost of the real estate being used for something else (like housing citizens) instead. Housing is also not fungible - so if you "export" your most desirable real-estate you can't just make more of it.
We take an infant car seat and use the European belt routing (or if that fails due to short belts in American cars, American belt routing) to secure to the back seat.
`jlink` was released for Java 9, I believe, so it's unlikely people who are upgrading from Java 8 already have the infrastructure in place to seamlessly transition to that instead of however they were managing their JAR files before.

"But this should be simple! It's almost like a Go binary!" I've learned not to underestimate how long it can take to change infrastructure. DevOps isn't seen as a profit center in most places, and they might well have much bigger things to worry about than transitioning from a kind of working JARs-on-VMs approach.

>Why SMBs Don’t Deploy Single Sign On (SSO)

Bullshit article. The reason SMBs don't deploy SSO is because SaaS and other tooling puts SSO integration behind very high tier paywalls.

I'm talking pricing schemes where sure, you can sign up for a 20 person team on a service because that's the only expected user base in house, but the moment you ask for SSO they demand you license your entire employee headcount.

Among many ridiculous schemes I've dealt with.
I grew up and live in a city that's often top of the list for tourist destinations and where people are moving to. It is a great city, but it's also a curse with so many people here and more every day. Many of the things I used to do for fun are no longer feasible/easy to do. But, more jobs also came and property values have gone way up - both items are/were good for me.
They did some driving in some Arizona suburbs too

I think you are really understating it. I believe Chandler, AZ has been Waymo's proving grounds for years, and according to this article (https://www.wsj.com/us-news/waymo-phoenix-arizona-self-drivi...) the Phoenix area is the leader of autonomous vehicle service.
In my experience Waymo has been much worse compared to Lyft/Uber for longer rides.

A big problem with Waymo in its current state is how its routes are terribly inefficient.

It purposely avoids freeways and higher speed roads, opting to take more inefficient routes without regards to the number of stop signs, hills, and other factors which will inevitably lead to a longer travel time. It's almost like it's using a worse version of the "Avoid highways" feature on Google Maps, and getting to a further destination can take almost twice the amount of time as compared to a Lyft/Uber.

Another problem is its lack of human intuition and strategies when driving in the city during some kind of event where many of the roads are blocked off. A human driver would have been navigating the blocked roads throughout the day and already know where to go to avoid the crowds, where as Waymo naively follows its navigation system and gets stuck in a bunch of traffic for no reason.

It also drives annoyingly slowly which leads to frustration from human drivers who constantly try to overtake you.

my usual go-to here is to observe that cancer is 100% all-natural.

I have been tempted to put it on a T-shirt to be worn at gatherings where I might find myself in the company of people who celebrate or promote "natural" as if it were an axiomatic good.

In reality I could never bring myself to wear it in public out of concern for by-catch side effects: griefing random strangers for whom the miseries of cancer may form a very real part of their daily experience is not something I'd want to be associated with even if it was not the intended result.
One of my most distinct memories of visiting Barcelona in 2018 was going to a hip hang out spot with a few cousins who live there, turning a corner and seeing the words "TOURISTS FUCK OFF" graffiti'd in large letters along the side of the building. I remember thinking "oh they're talking about me."
Airbnb has made it unnecessary to have friends in city X who will gladly let you couch surf - because lets face it: hotels are a prohibitive rip off. Hotel owners must hate it.

To me it seems much more likely that this is the reason for such bans because in housing terms the number of Airbnb properties seems far too small to make a difference.
You didn't answer my question, just trolled it: what is the line between being a tourist apartment and/or a remote work apartment if you want to rent one for two weeks?

How will you separate it into two types?
Watching them again recently, I was struck by how well the set and prop design of Alien and Aliens sold the idea of an industrial sci fi future.

Something about all those chunky CRT or VFD screens fiercely glowing feels, to me, much better and futuristic than, say the sleek transparent holographic flatscreens of the new Star Trek properties.

Businesses are unable to plan around seasonality? What's up with that? In the US, businesses in touristy areas often will shut down for the slow season.
Sure but cutting down larger ingots only affects the vendor, and these rectangular wafers could be handled by the same (or at least similarly sized) equipment for all the other downstream processes. It's way easier than retooling everything to a larger circular diameter in one go.
> But I don't see how it's not authoritarian.

If this thread continues for a few more levels, I think you’ll end up justifying hiring your own private police force.

Ownership requires that a state exists to enforce your rights. There are tradeoffs with this arrangement, one of which is that the state gets to set boundaries/limits on how you can use the thing you own. Ideally, acting with the best interests of the population. This sometimes includes ensuring areas are off limits to transient inhabitants so that a society can develop.
First of all in traditional stock/futures exchanges you cannot connect to the exchange itself, but must go through a broker due to the regulation. This means you cannot directly interact with the order book, needed for the high frequency trading.

Cryptocurrency exchanges are direct-to-retail so anyone can run HFT strategies and act as a market maker. Thus, cryptocurrency trading is “more democratized.”
I am not sure why this comment is being down voted. It's true. A good example is the combination of psychotherapy, and psychiatric drugs is the best solution for many mental illnesses. Using either one alone is less effective.
They are aware it is not a complete solution. As the article quotes him:

> “The measures we have taken will not change the situation in one day. These things take time. But with these measures we are reaching a turning point”

While some of the chosen phrasing in the article does read rather ideological, as you quoted, that could just as easily be the bent of the writer.

Your comment itself is actually more ideological and unfactual than anything in the article…

> In this case, facts and logic, being so inconvenient to ideological and political forces, likely had nothing to do with the decision.

Neither OP nor you nor any other commenter thus far has pointed out any factual inaccuracies. And nothing about the measure is illogical since incremental changes are still a step in their desired direction. And how did you determine their “likely” reasoning from a single article alone? Again, as quoted, they are aware their concerns are not fully addressed by this action alone.

One can be a political actor and still be factual and logical. Claiming otherwise is illogical and untrue. And doing so to diminish a policy you do not like …well that’s ideological and political.

At least the company driving .NET releases it under MIT and does not have a trap SDK that should you make a mistake of using makes your company liable to legal action by Oracle.

Surely you're not gonna say that OpenJDK and GraalVM (both owned by Oracle) is somehow an issue, would you? And Mono lives well in dotnet/runtime, serving targets like Browser WASM and iOS (until NativeAOT replaces it in full at that target, at some point).

But you're not using .NET, so no need to worry. No one is gonna pry Java from your hands, but we'll get to laugh at the choice - it is both slower in performance-oriented code and more verbose in LOB one. Pretty much the only driving reason behind choosing it is if the company is an Apache/Java shop or when a vendor offers an SDK in Java/Python/JS only due to their popularity which is a common issue in the industry.
On top of that, if you use the TypeScript version, the abstractions are often... weird. They feel like verbatim ports of the Python implementations. Many things are abstracted in ways that are not very type-safe and you'd design differently with type safety in mind. Some classes feel like they only exist to provide some structure in a language without type safety (Python) and wouldn't really need to exist with structural type checking.
I'll never know, as mine isn't nicely decorated :)

Its hard to tell from the site, but given that they seem to be hiring human cleaners,
I was viewing the robot as a tool, like a vacuum cleaner. If it can offload tedious manual labor from the human cleaners and allow them to be more effective, then that's fine with me.
Seems legislation here is more lax. Generally rules and regulations here assume people play nice. Sadly that seems a bit naive these days.

Atomic Agents 0.1.44 Released
For those who don't know yet, Atomic Agents ( https://github.com/KennyVaneetvelde/atomic_agents ) is designed to be modular, extensible, and easy to use. Components in the Atomic Agents Framework should always be as small and single-purpose as possible, similar to design system components in Atomic Design. Even though Atomic Design cannot be directly applied to AI agent architecture, a lot of ideas were taken from it. The resulting framework provides a set of tools and agents that can be combined to create powerful applications. The framework is built on top of Instructor and uses Pydantic for data validation and serialization.
For those who have been following it for a bit, it just got a lot easier to build new agents using any client supported by Instructor, including local agents.
I highly recommend checking out:
- The basic custom chatbot example: https://github.com/KennyVaneetvelde/atomic_agents/blob/main/...

- Yelp agent to help find restaurants on yelp: https://github.com/KennyVaneetvelde/atomic_agents/blob/main/...
This demo essentially shows how an agent in Atomic Agents can be given a schema and figure out the best way on its own to ask the user the right questions in order to gather the necessary information for performing the API call. This logic can essentially be applied to any filterable API or endpoint, ... such as for a webshop's products (hint hint, product idea)
