Yes. And local authorities in the UK routinely have grants of arms and banners/flags of them (albeit most of them are newer and less classy than the City's).

Ditto police forces: although most smaller authorities' police have merged into larger county or larger forces, there's nothing odd in principle about a municipal police force. The City's is strange, in that it's entirely enclaved within the Met, but there are plenty of oddities out there (the Mersey Tunnels Police, say).

There are several ancient cities with 'Lord' mayors, including York.

Sibling gave a link for Swing. I've also seen it done for Jetpack Compose but that's definitely more experimental.

None of this stuff is very smoothed over though. There aren't many people doing it. But, the results are pretty magical.

What good does it to do make corporate things more efficient if you also drastically reduce the total number of jobs and make it where the average person has no money to buy your precious goods? Make no mistake, so-called "AI" will end up taking away every non-menial job if we don't reign it in somehow, or start providing UBI.

Any agreement between a patron and a server to exchange an offer of value is also just "paying the bill". Any agreement between the patron and venue is a separate transaction. The law in most jurisdictions makes this quite clear.

It's not clear from your post, have you tried Gumroads API? They have an endpoint for verifying licenses that works nicely.

curl https://api.gumroad.com/v2/licenses/verify \ -d "product_id=SDGgCnivv6gTTHfVRfUBxQ==" \ -d "license_key=YOUR_CUSTOMERS_LICENSE_KEY" \ -X POST

Example in React/TS:

const checkLicenseKeyWithGumroad = async (licenseKey: string) => {
try {
const isValidLicenseRequest = await axios.post(
process.env.GUMROAD_VERIFY_URL as string,
{
product_id: 'SDGgCnivv6gTTHfVRfUBxQ==',
license_key: licenseKey?.trim()
}
)
const isValidLicense = isValidLicenseRequest?.data?.success ? true : false
return isValidLicense
} catch (error) {
console.log(`Error checking license key: ${error}`)
return false
}

}

For your language issue, you could self-host the platform and only run purchases through Gumroad. This is how I do it.
I consider myself aphantasic and would describe my process similarly. I can kind of "draw" shapes in my head with sort of strokes of light like a kid writing their name in the air with a sparkler. While doing it, I can in fact feel my eyes physically moving around under their lids. Anything that isn't a rudimentary shape is out. This comes in handy while thinking about software because I can pretty easily create and trace connections between things in a sort of imaginary network.

I experience basically the same thing with sounds, which I've never heard anyone talk about. If you ask me to imagine the guitar solo from "sweet child of mine", I'm not going to hear the actual song in my head, I'm going to hear essentially the same thing as if you asked me to describe it (with lots of beedly dee type sounds). I can recognize a person's voice, but I can't will it into existence without hearing it, instead I would hear my own imitation of them, however bad that is. I'm not sure if that's a common experience but media tells me it's not.
Euro-NCAP would do virtually nothing to alter the design of a Ford F-150 or Dodge Ram, unfortunately. It's a very weak testing protocol.

However the US regulator is already floating a proposal to include similar pedestrian testing in its requirements.
"Can give" seems not super relevant honestly.

If you ask an AI for historical pictures of Hitler shaking hands with Zulu fighters, you might get them, but you'd be a fool to think that's facts. Text is exactly the same. The tech is exactly the same. The result is exactly the same. People are just so used to text being about facts via school that they are fooled, but they know about paintings from before kindergarten.

Your example isn't about facts or search though. In the case of code we can easily check the result. It's not a case of facts really.

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

I think it's worth talking about taxation here. Roads are generally in the top 3 costs for most municipalities along with police and firefighting.

Even when you add together tolls, gas tax, vehicle excise taxes, it doesn't cover the costs of road maintenance, and needs to be supplemented by sales tax, building property tax, etc.

If bike infrastructure reduces the number of cars, SUVs, and pickups that are on the road just to carry one person around, the reduction on road wear means it's a total cost savings.

(For what it's worth, I think the same argument applies also to buses.)
You're the one doing monkey patching when you're writing a program. Don't do it if you think it makes things hard.

Probably a few factors.

1. Scaling. You want to reap the rewards of someone else investing billions, and while billions of ICE engines are built every year, most of them are much bigger than 50cc.
2. Tolerances, as you say. I know for example that jet engines have low efficiency at small sizes due to efficiency being driven by the gaps between certain rotating parts, which are relatively larger.
3. Certain parts that need miniaturisation are more expensive on smaller engines. For example, a 50cc would typically have a carburettor, a bigger engine fuel injection. A fuel injector would be significantly larger per unit.
4. Some parts are just harder to miniaturise. For example, small turbochargers have to work harder and at much higher RPMs to achieve the same boost due to area scaling quadratically with diameter.
I learned how to program on that PSION II! My dad brought one back from the UK (must've been '93 or maybe '94) and I got hooked. I still have BASIC (or I guess OPL) scribbles from when I was like 7 years old in a notepad. Nostalgia overload :)

Your argument doesn't work because people are terrible at making good choices as individuals. Public enjoys smoking too, especially when pushed by advertising. Yet we somehow managed to push back on it a bit and people are now die less frequently from lung cancer and you can now breath in many cases you couldn't before.

Driving is like smoking only much worse.

Gemini. I asked it to remember my name. It said it'd remember. My next question was asking it what my name was. It responded that it can't connect to my workspace account. It did this twice.

I asked it what was in a picture. It was a blue stuffed animal. It described it as such. I asked it what kind of animal it thought it was supposed to be. It responded with "a clown fish because it has a black and white checkerboard pattern". It was an octopus (at least it got a sea creature?).

I asked it for directions to the closest gas station. It wanted to take me to one over a mile away when there was one across the street. I asked why it didn't suggest the one nearest to me. It responded with "I assumed proximity was the primary criteria" and then apologized for calling me names (it didn't).

This model is bonkers right now.

Drivers need the freedom of plowing through pedestrians without consequences to their lives or their cars. It still puzzles me my whole neighborhood is full of stroads with large interesections and bollars are nowhere to be seen. Every single one of these intersections should be fully surrounded by bollards to provide safety to pedestrians but who cares about pedestrians, right?

Seconded. It is unfortunate that social media polarises the two camps. I'm happy that people start considering this subject as a "spectrum", which allows for some more interesting discussions.

What I find strange is that so many people actually believe that their brains have a built-in raytracer. Why did, say, Boris Vallejo need real-life models and photography if there are so many people out there who can simply visualize everything in an instant?

I tried to get a 3 node bare metal cluster running, and i came to the conclusion that its not worth it unless you have over 50+ services running on over 5+ servers and really really need instant automatic failover. Otherwise docker compose is so so so much easier.

I found very poor documentation on how to recover from failure scenarios, i dont like how the control plane has to be separate from the workers, i happen to choose k3s which was abandoned, i never understood why etcd NEEDS more than 2, i hated all the "beta" configuration tags/domains whatever they are called, there was no good way to know when they changed or what they changed to, I thought the whole point of helm was that you could update things easily but its the opposite: it breaks things. I couldn't believe there was no built in support for uninterruptible power supplies? maybe just a k3s thing.

I am sure it works for huge scale entire/multiple data center stuff, but anything in one location i bet is a mistake
I do visualize images I have seen in the past that represent class hierarchies, I can visualize UML representing design patterns, and also can visually compose these UMLs, I can even write code in my head as I see it on the screen, for example I can change background color or font. I can only do it for small snippets, but I do see them they are not just text. Whenever I want to solve a high level design problem I actually see the systems stylized, a cache, a database, client, server, arrows between them, the same way they appear on the screen. I can easily imagine all kinds of dashboards charts and whatnot. All these to some degree of complexity, I need to make some effort to actually take a mental picture of the screen remember and visualize it after a period, unless is something I see every day. So yes people can use images to do their work every day as programmers.
Yes, people in general are terrible at driving. Teaching them is hopeless that's why we need solutions that works. There are two right now: infrastructure that makes it hard and very inconvenient to go fast and heavy handed enforcement. The latter option only works in very well developed civilised societes like Switzerland or Nordic countries have. Most others are stuck with traffic calling measures as their population has too little too lose to care about safety.
This sounds very similar to my experience as well. Memory and mental visualization are very fuzzy. Like a camera with a dirty lens and very narrow focus. I can't even imagine my wife or children's faces clearly. I can picture an environment, but it's like a low res image or impressionistic painting.

I can think very clearly in text however, so I can imagine vivid descriptions of a physical environment and with descriptions of fine detail. But it's stored as text, and only blurrily rendered to images.

Recently, I've gradually realized that I struggle to recognize faces and some significant chunk of my social anxiety comes from this. If I see a face often enough or in large enough doses I can recognize it, but if I see it only occasionally and for brief encounters, I really struggle. I think it may be related to my inability visualize.

Not all numbers can be run in isolation. One of the most valuable things a business can build is a sense of community around it. Businesses who attempt to extract each marginal dollar from any goodwill they have built will suffer in the long term.
I'm not sure American democracy is in place to be a system we might want to see in the rest of the world. If we're speaking idealistically, I think there's a far more reasonable idea than hegemony. Imagine a multi-polar world, with certain limited global rights.

For instance we could have a guarantee of free emigration: If a person, of no real criminality, wants to leave their country (perhaps because they feel oppressed or whatever) then their government cannot prevent them, if another country is willing to accept them. Alongside this there should also be a global agreement for countries to not interfere, directly or covertly, in the matters of other countries. That would include things like funding or otherwise providing support to various groups within other countries.

It seems this would be a zillion times more viable, effective, harmonious, and productive - than trying to Americanize the rest of the world, which seems more likely to lead to the end of the world than anything else.
Perhaps you live somewhere were everyone is content? My neighborhood is full of people (admittedly, many older) who mobilize at the slightest rumor of change anywhere in our vicinity. Bigger road? No way, that means more traffic. More houses? No way, that means more traffic. The neighborhood associate is quite active about staying on top of anything planned for this region of the city so they can light up our inboxes with information.

Probably the one thing they wouldn't really be bothered by is expanding that cul-de-sac, as long as it will still be a dead end and not a new connection that traffic might choose to use to transit across the neighborhood.

I carefully designed the architecture, which is very flexible. The "backend" is currently running on web worker & service worker. It should be possible to deploy it to a web-standard runtime environment for self-hosting.

IMO we are going to see a massive wave of interoperability, and "good enough" software to compete and drop the value of software dramatically.

This will drop profitability drastically, and put downward pressure on salaries.
I would hope that we have invented error-free software development by then, though. Otherwise, a small error leading to the wrong coordinates could really ruin your day (or head)... ;)

We will see backlash like this, and justifiably so, as we continue to iterate AI/ML as product.

A better use of the tech, though perhaps below the justification threshold for purchasing it as SpotShotter, would be to use it as confirmatory forensics after an instance versus investigating every shot.

Reasoning: if a loud noise happens and no one calls the cops, no harm no foul. But if someone calls the cops or a crime with a weapon is noted, such a murder, wounding, or other violence, this could help narrow down the timeframe the shot may have been observed.

70 years is not a useful timeframe for analysis of human warfare. Historically speaking a 70 year peace could be considered brief. Recall that empires have lasted thousands of years, city states have warred on and off for centuries, warlords have emerged with a cadence measured in centuries and great conquests on a cadence of thousands of years.

70 years is a blip. Compare that to the 6 known close calls where all-out nuclear war was narrowly averted and we’re not looking great. (What is that about once a decade?)

I’d say there’s a 50/50 chance I’ll see a nuclear war in my lifetime. And if it gets out of hand billions of people will die.

I’m not sure the invention of nuclear weapons was a net positive for the world.
Costco could easily triple their cost of their hotdogs and still be cheaper than everyone else. They don't because they know it would be foolishly destructive to their reputation in the long term.
The only rule about rebasing I care about is the golden rule of rebasing: "Never do it on a public branch". In general I'm not going to waste my team's time by messing about with it otherwise one way or the other, and personally use either rebase or amend depending on context to tidy things up locally, and use merge when interacting with public branches.
It can't be the best. It's only one of many positive consequences. Not even a main justification, but only a point of defense for those so irrationally against the concept.

> This might be true now, but it wasn't when all these massive highways, roads and stroads were built.

I guess that depends a bit on how far back still includes 'now'. Portland is the nearest big(ish) city to me, and they absolutely killed road expansion about 40 years ago; that is when most of the freeways and major arterials in the area were being built out. There have been a few small extensions built since, a bit of widening now and then, but they are the exception and they take many years to get buy-in.
Stores aren't going to change the price six times a minute. Like you said, existing laws would stop it from happening and customers would revolt if it did. The headline is just hyperbole form NPR even if it's technically true.
I worked for a small legal company decades ago. I used a reverse ssh tunnel to administrate a Windows box remotely with Remote Desktop. Then I realized that I was circumventing a firewall. At a different company I had to be careful about such things. So I decided not to show this little hack to my boss. When a problem cropped up before going on commute I just logged in to the system from home and fixed the problem. Then at the box my boss asked me how long would I need to fix the problem and I said, I don't know. I rechecked my solution and after fifteen minutes I told him that all is well.

Looking at all the companies listed in the page two things are obvious.

- They generated billions of dollars for investors

- None of these companies make anything that really matters meaningfully, and the proof is: If they would disappear tomorrow, no critical technology, functionally, innovation or business process would be lost to the world. Their marginal utility is already covered by similar competitors, or could be within months.
