Can you share some more promising entrants? I like op's solution because it's highly customizable, but too early/ buggy to replace Notion.

Then take a Cauchy or a t-distribution. Basically anything with a longer tail than exp(x^2). The Gaussian summary will be misleading because of the tails.

Charlists with single quotes are deprecated since Elixir 1.17 - the ~c[…] sigil should always be preferred.

So hopefully that will reduce the confusion!
I'm seeing all sorts of negative takes on this. But I read one interesting take on reddit from a father of 2 kids with DMD that had a very specific and logical reason for supporting it (other than the treatment helped his kid).

Essentially the efficacy test is a 3 point scale that measures standing and walking. It's not granular enough to get real statistical significance on, and never will be unless another kind of test is defined. So the tests are basically always doomed to fail rigid scrutiny by the FDA.

In the meantime they're getting dramatically effective results, and Peter Marks is bucking the FDA's traditionally conservative stance to make the product available to the few who desperately need it. I'll eat my words if someone finds he was paid off for this. I think is a truly miraculous kind of therapy, and I hope to one day have regularly available gene therapy for my own afflictions.

Except that the highest layers in that stack is not used by many contactless systems. As an analogy, you wouldn't call HTTP or TCP "web protocols" either, even though the web uses both (but it can also run on QUIC, which is UDP, and you can do non-web-things via HTTP).

Importantly, NFC standardizes a way of storing structured data like URLs or phone numbers on NFC tags; transit tickets most likely don't use tags in that way.

I did an internship for Mercedes and I was able to drive our mid-sized R&D bus as my (routine) American driver's license allowed me to drive vehicles and vehicle combinations up to 26000 lbs GVWR/GCWR. Several of my German colleagues did not have a license permitting them to drive it.
Yeah, pretty much better off for society offering low-interest loans to people trying to start businesses. That can produce value and jobs in products that other people value. A rising tides raise all boats, so to speak.
This assumption is trivialization of the problem.

Free speech can generally be constrained - it is not absolute right (Article 19 of ICCPR), so every case where restriction is considered must take into account the context and the other human rights, rather than granting the free speech right unconditionally. I don’t think SCOTUS understood well the gravity of their decision back then.

When considering free speech for corporations, it must be taken into account that corporations often have more resources at disposal which they can use to amplify the voices of their shareholders or management, distorting the democratic process. Right to choose the government and hold it accountable is also a human right, which is clearly harmed by created imbalance of power.

It's can be traced back to the roots of each OS. Windows has it's heritage in the land of DOS where files had an 8 character name with a 3 character extension and that extension carried meaning for the OS.

Linux being of Unix ancestry which had no such concept as a file extension. It was the responsibility of the application or kernel to discern what type a file was. Typically by the first few bytes of a file and handle it appropriately.

I personally am a fan of the Unix way but I can see why some might prefer the DOS convention.

> "You’re better off building parallel infrastructure and taxing cyclists to pay for it via licensing."

yes, a parallel infrastructure would be welcomed by current cyclists and by many of those who now abstain from cycling because of persecution and threat of death on the roads.

If everyone can agree that a parallel infrastructure is needed, the funding question is trivial. The overall costs could even be negative due to the reduced need to subsidize car usage (also health benefits of cycling, etc.). If it makes you happy, we can let little kids slap a sticker on their bike to take of the "licensing".

Many states have a similar code, all of Maryland might. There are lots of pockets of sovereignty in the US that are misunderstood.

Basically the default behavior is that the state is a bigger government than the county and overrides everything, county bigger than city, city bigger than something smaller.

But non-default behavior is codified to make it the reverse.

Either its directly codified in state law or state constitution, or there is a symbioses for the state to maintain collective support and order.

Haven't seen any AI potters, quilters, muralists or landscape gardeners yet.

It's replacing work that is purely to do with information.

Years ago there was talk about the "anywheres" vs. the "somewheres" - people who can do their jobs from anywhere (home, a cafe, a plane, the other side of the world) vs people whose work is necessaily rooted to a particular place. Your plumbers and farmers and retail workers.

AI can replace "anywhere" work, but there is little progress in robotics. Replacing "somewhere" work is many years away.

That's a great answer, thank you! Yeah, "someone non-consensually has low-accuracy information on me" is experientially different than "someone is using (more-accurate) information on me to serve me ads". The former's still not _great_ (they can still pass that information to other people which could lead to bad experiences), but it's still much better than the latter. Thanks for the clarification!
I don't really watch tv but so can't compare too well but yes it's stressful as hell and you get treated like shit a lot of the time. Some of it is just the normal dehumanizing situation of american wage labor eg no paid time off, no healthcare, etc. But the culture of cooking is particularly bad even within that. I understand this has improved somewhat since I left but from what I hear it is still not good.

I only knew of one genuinely life changing injury in a kitchen I was in, a very bad burn to both the cook's feet. But I saw plenty of cuts that needed stitches, and a few graft-worthy burns. Quite a few concussions too, from slips or accidentally pulling down more than expected from a high shelf. IMO the real menace is just chronic health stuff: substance abuse and other mental illness are common and no one has the resources or support to deal with it adequately.

You don't get even unpaid time off to recover from illness or injury and it really takes a toll over time. Most of those injuries I described, the person finished their shift and was back at work the next day. If they even went to the hospital in between, it was at the expense of their own rest and family responsibilities. Line cook was one of the most deadly jobs during covid, up there with frontline healthcare workers in the beginning. They only got overtaken by police & fire in the second half because so many cops refused to get vaccinated. Which, lmao.
You're quibbling. The portion covered by the congestion charges is a tiny, tiny portion of the whole of London, comprising mostly business and entertainment areas.

There is overwhelming evidence against the increase of dependency on car centric transportation. Yet people just don't get it until it impacts them personally (ie, death of loved one, loss of limbs of friends, paralysis, DUI).

I'm honestly done with trying to convince politicians, car-brains, "traffic engineers", transportation departments that they way we have been scaling our infrastructure is a tremendous waste of resources. Every talking point they have presented has a mountain evidence against it, yet they continue churning away at "wE mUsT bUiLd mOrE hIgHwAyS!!1 [at the expense of the federal/state/local budgets, environment, and communities near these projects]".
I think these aren't more popular because actually, there are things that genuinely suck about small business ownership. Offhand: stress, uncertainty/having to make payroll, having a significant % of your net worth tied up in a single, undiversified investment that's near-impossible to sell.

Given the choice, I think a normal cash-paying salary job (maybe with bonus) is vastly preferable to most people.

You seem to be having an argument with the title of the piece, not with me.
Single tap cards are usually just used with their "hardwired" chip serial number. That is stored in a central system which invalidates the number once you used it. This makes it rather easy (even if its environmentally unfriendly) to issue these cards: load a number of cards into your machine, register the serial number and invalidate it when used.
Autoloading is fine as long as you don't go nuts with gems or write classes that will stomp on other implementations of a namespace if autoloaded. The UX as the article concedes is great most of the time. The problem usually arises when someone pulls in a gem that does a ton of class opening and can poison the rest of the application with unexpected behavior. Yes, making you vulnerable to this is a downside of autoloading, but its within your control when adding new code.
The lottery is the big thing.
What do you mean "stoop so low"? That's how it's always been in every other industry --- people can and do modify and fix things by learning how they work, without any form of assistance from the original manufacturer. I don't need to have the original design documentation to make or modify a new part for my car, boat, washing machine, HVAC system, etc. Why should software be any different?

But for a program to be free software, the ability to study and modify the program must be practical, legal is not enough.

It already is practical. As I mentioned, decompilers are only getting better and what we have now is far better than in the early days when people did "study and modify" just fine. I could also argue that a lot of current free software is not practical to "study and modify" even with the source code.

Instead, the emphasis on source code has created a sort of learned helplessness (see above) that is definitely an impediment to true freedom. Companies have instead used "open source" as a form of virtue-signaling while adapting other user-hostile "security" features that make it so users can see the source and try to contribute to it (with their contributions only accepted if they toe the line) but can't actually make use of those changes themselves. Android, Firefox, and some other Google projects come to mind.

There's a pretty cool word you can spell with your calculator:

They are typically and roughly hemispherical in shape, and come in different sizes.

Although they can gradually droop over time due to gravity and other factors.

They can help keep babies alive, but that is certainly not their only use.

They have small round protrusions sticking out the front.

The number that spells the word has a couple of zeroes in it.

Multiply 7257 by 69. Then add 28. Then flip your calculator upside down.

You definitely not need a human for that. ChatGPT creates a prose and poetry (let alone imagined aliens) that are reasonable composites.

> "Oh, but that is just a known thing in a new shape, not creative, just using old things!!!"

I'm not saying humans are not creative. I'm saying that's exactly what creation is splitting, deforming and glueing known shapes. And AI does the same. I have no idea why do you believe there's anything more to creativity than doing just that, to create something more or less accidently interesting or appealing. And why only humans can create such things in this manner. Despite clear evidence of AI generated art being interesting and appealing to large number of people.

Olive oil prices will soon rapidly climb where they haven't already

My go to mid level olive oil is up almost 50% over the past few month. Interestingly the much more high end olive oil I sometimes buy is up less than 20%.
You could do that, but it still greatly raises the cost for an attacker, since they need to hang around a ticket validator for every ticket they want to clone, as opposed to e.g. a QR code ticket, which can be trivially copied by a simple screenshot.

Also, many of these transit systems are eventually consistent (they're usually offline-capable for resilience, but usually manage to send all validation transactions to a backoffice system within at most a day, and often minutes).

This allows detecting duplicate usage fairly quickly. In systems where you need to tap out as well as tap in to leave the turnstile, that's where ticket inspectors might take a sudden interest in you if you tap out with a cloned ticket.

In the end, as with most security systems, the goal is not to make fraud absolutely impossible, but to make it economically non-viable.
Note that the smallest tactical nuke, the Davy Crockett, is One-Million times smaller than the largest nuke ever tested (The Tzar Bomba).

USA Policy is that all nukes are nukes. The idea being that we've never wargamed a scenario where small nukes were used that didn't turn into the treadmill of larger and larger nukes anyway. (Well, they used a 50 ton nuke. We should respond with a 500ton nuke, then they respond with a 10,000 ton nuke. Then we respond with a 100kTon nuke. Then they respond with a 1Mton nuke....)

So the minute a 'Small Nuke' is used, we should just respond with the biggest nuke. No point dilly dallying, if we are all going to die we might as well get it over with faster and in a way that is to our advantage.

--------

The issue is that Russia or China may not see it that way. They might see the small nukes as a different thing that doesn't deserve the response of the larger nuke.

It's not that the world is composed of madmen. It's that the world is composed of people with different points of view.

As such, Russia stockpiles tactical (aka: small) nukes. USA stockpiles strategic (aka: large) nukes.

------

Also note: we stopped making larger nukes for political reasons. There seemed to be no end to the size of 'Large' nukes. The H-Bomb seemed to scale as large as we ever wanted.

A collection of 10x 10 MTon nukes would deal more damage than a single 100MTon nuke anyway. But there's nothing stopping us from making 10x 100Mton nukes.

No, not even close. The NYC one covered all of Manhattan south of 60th, and almost every ingress/egress to the island. As I said in my comment, even if you only consider people who live in Manhattan (which is a fraction of the NYC residents affected by the proposed policy), it would have covered about 10% of the entire city -- about 800,000 people.
I think it's more an issue of resources rather than raw energy. If this can be produced using much less space, locally to consumers, and using clean energy then it's a net gain.

What I'm interested in is where do the raw materials come from? I suppose this needs a number of "ingredients", including proteins, that must be sourced from somewhere.
