The unofficial BR Fares[1] website does a lot to untangle the complexity, although it can only do so much to mitigate the expense.

An example:

Earlier this month, The Denver Gazette reported two of the four e-buses Colorado Springs' Mountain Metropolitan Transit acquired in 2021 are not running. They cost $1.2 million a piece, mostly paid for by government grants.

A suburban - a massive SUV is 18ft long. This is not a normal SUV though.

Where I am, in seattle, buses are from 60 ft to 30 ft long. This is the same as a London bus, but the double length buses are pretty common too.

In modern days we generally stand in awe of ancient structures that have stood for millennia.

But in some sense, many ancient engineers had to drastically overbuild their bridges and other structures because they didn't have the tools to know what the "barely stands" threshold was, so they had to build for a big margin of error when they lacked the tools of precision.

The rotors aren't the problem, the pads are. Rotors are just cast iron, and they wear very slowly compared to the pads.
Sounds like it’d hurt poor people unless they make what you call more responsible choices. A difficult part about being poor is you often don’t have as many options. There is a lot of reasons why that turns up, but it’s there all the same.
The people were talking about are slapping shitty cat deleted straight pipe exhausts on what are typically engineered to be economy or family cars, or small displacement motorcycle engines. People who don't see the offensively selfish stupidity in tripling or quadrupling the noise output of their mode of transportation just to get an extra 10% power, if that.

They're not running million dollar F1 cars around closed environments dedicated to the purpose.
Does it come out instead in PR reviews?
Yeah, I've done something similar twice for embedded systems. First one was modelling a BLE protocol between a mobile device and a piece of hardware to confirm that the protocol the vendor provided would definitively lose messages in specific circumstances. The second was to model the LoRaWAN protocol as a state machine and prove that the SM model I'd put together couldn't deadlock; the C implementation of it modelled the TLA+ model very closely. I was honestly pretty shocked that after getting the first version of the implementation done there was exactly one bug in it and it was a typo (used the wrong variable somewhere) and not a logic error. Other than that the implementation basically worked perfectly first try and just kept running indefinitely.
Last time I checked, yes. There’s a machine where you press a button for a free ticket that works the ticket gates.

Unfortunately the days where you could ride the buses for free around the whole Heathrow area are gone, however.

The fake chip is definitely weird!

The logo you mention (four arcs actually) is owned by EMVco though, and they let people only use it for credit and debit card contactless payment cards.

There’s also an NFC logo, but as mentioned elsewhere, these cards aren’t really NFC cards, so that would also not be the right thing to use (I believe the NFC forum wants something to happen when you touch anything bearing that logo with your phone).
> Imagine using AI to drop an object and it falls perfectly where you want it.

There is a fantasy series that depicts this as a game that two young gods would play together when they were growing up. (Or rather, since one of them had vastly superior foresight to the other one, he'd bully his brother into playing with him.)
regional coordination of services like transport is the big one. as a general example, if it were just the councils, Crossrail probably would not have gotten off the ground. And TfL is probably the only authority bucking the general British trend of bus services totally collapsing.
I mean according to the suttas there's no directed thought after the second jhana, right? That seems different from what she's describing.
Why dry? Doesn't the jhana lube make it smoother?
Poor Ohio Bob. Well done.
Probably something from either the CBT Tape[1] or the MAME ROM set or Software List.

As for files I created myself, probably emails from 25 years ago, as I lost pretty much everything I had from the '80s and early '90s in a fire (and all my older emails migrating from older ISP/university email accounts, and didn't really do anything worth saving in the late '90s).

Stretching the definition, I did recently uncover a video tape containing an award-winning media fair project I did with a couple friends in the mid '80s that I hope to digitize just as soon as I obtain a VHS deck I'm certain won't damage the tape.

Probably a mix of plastic and metal: Full metal cards don’t actually support contactless interfaces!

Two common ways of getting around that is to either sandwich a plastic part containing the antenna to a metal one, or to punch out a circular part in the middle of the metal card and put the antenna in there (and close it all up using more plastic).

One card that doesn’t do either is the Apple Card – and as a result, you can’t tap it!

You seem to misunderstand the founding principles on this country, which, among other thing favor private property and individual over society as a whole. Most people do not suggest everyone but them has to sacrifice. Me, for example, am saying 'apply rules across the board', which in this case means liceses for bikes if they want to drive on the road with everyone else, who is licensed.

Is that narcissist to ask that the same standard is applied?
Why is the symbol an anus?
If you're a beginner, you'll need to work your way up to at least 45-minute sessions. You're not going to be able to enter jhanas in 20 minutes unless you're very experienced and entered them consistently for a long time. For me, it was when I got to 1 hour sessions when I started to experience the deep absorption for jhanas.
people are already doing that manually
The revamped Folgers makes it much easier to get access to those books, no tunneling required.

I am really glad for that. I run a Shakespeare theater troupe just outside DC. I have performed at the Folger. And I couldn't get at the library because I wasn't an academic.

It's still not going to be every day that I need their very specific collection. But it's great to know that I can.

> ”Is it not possible to top up a digital Oyster card on an iPhone or Apple Watch via an app or Apple Wallet?”

It is, there’s even an auto top-up option that adds credit automatically if your balance drops below a certain level.

But there’s no “digital” Oyster card, only physical ones. If you want to use a device to pay you have to use contactless.

And either way, it’s still kind of a pain to have to maintain a balance - especially if you’re a tourist or visitor and don’t know exactly how much credit you’re going to need.

I agree that being able to load a transit card into Apple Pay etc is also a good solution. The convenience of not having a physical card that can be easily lost or forgotten is probably the biggest benefit for me.
It's much more economically viable, but it comes with a lot of ecological and environmental risk that we care about a lot more now (which is right and good). Same with preserving Antarctica, the other one people always bring up. The fact is we care hugely about the environment in the modern day, people who don't care about the environment are a loud minority, so in terms of making new habitable land on a large scale space is the most realistic even though it's more difficult in an economic and engineering sense.

I guess not; looking around I found that mod online here: https://netlabelarchive.org/1998/03/06/mtk-rel14/ and it's March 1998.

I wouldn't believe all the MODs dated 1990 anymore either then, though one I've checked is from about then ( https://demozoo.org/music/97104/ ), another is 1992 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oadg4mc9ww - check this out it still holds up today despite being 4 channel 30+ years old, in a way that the techno one really doesn't).

Monkey Island was released in 1990 so that could be accurate, QuickBasic 4.5 was released 1988 (although no way I had it in 1988). Summary: the oldest things I have are my brother's mod interest, my coding interest, and some PC games.

It's about signal transduction, the process of cells taking up a wide range of external signals, sometimes environmental, sometimes from other organelles within a body in multicellular organisms (single celled critters on the eukaryotic lineage often have many mitochondria, too). It's a very analog process, not really that digital on/off in nature (e.g. many genes aren't really turned off, they just have very slow transcription rates when the trigger isn't present).

The references in the paper have some more general information, this one looks good for a broader overview of the history of mitochondrial research:

I learned some TLA+ and started reading about Coq, but I was pretty disappointed to learn of the "verification gap" between the the algorithm to be delivered in a normal programming language and the manually-restated algorithm that passed the checker. We need to make a checker's input language ergonomic enough for daily use and then "synthesize" something that runs efficiently while still being known correct, or make a checker understand everyday programs (which, not being so minimalist, probably have a much larger space of reachable states to check).
John Conway makes a solid case that this is backward: https://www.ams.org/notices/200902/rtx090200226p.pdf
I wasn’t affected by the dot com bubble luckily. I worked for a consulting firm in Atlanta during that time, and we had an office in an incubator called TechNest. My boss lent us out to various people there. I worked with a guy that ran a company called Dot Com Graveyard. Basically helped him with the backend for his site that let people buy all the stuff like Herman Miller chairs and other dot com stuff he got from the failed companies. Also helped a few guys that got the remains of real estate.com get hooked up with Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac using Biz Talk Server as that is what they got with the deal of salvaging realestate.com. It was a decent time for consultants to help clean up the pieces from what I remember.
And anyway… isn’t it the case that Theravadan meditation practice went practically extinct before being reconstructed from the suttas and commentaries sometime in the 18th/19th centuries? Vipassana at least was reinvented as such. Unless some enclave somewhere preserved an actually unbroken thread of jhana practice based on what was written in the suttas (maybe there was?), it weakens the authority of interpretation argument anyway!
MIFARE (classic) tags were never really compliant with any industry standard (whether freely available or patent-encumbered) and are not actually NFC tags, so many systems betting on that but later wanting to e.g. change reader chip vendors ended up with issues such as this. (There's a way of writing NFC/NDEF-formatted data to them, but it's only readable by NXP chips.)

If you buy any standard NFC forum tag, chances are pretty good that it'll work with any Android or iOS device. The Ntag series has worked pretty well for me on both OSes and across various phones; I have one that instantly and cross-platform rickrolls everybody tapping it.
It’s true, and I did get a player and a handful of favourites to watch on it, so maybe in fooling myself that the hdr is more important than the resolution.

I think the difference is that I’ve already watched 4K content on my computer but hdr is genuinely something new.

Vitakka and vicara are these two terms translated as applied and sustained thought or so, and are kind of famously debated in terms of their specific meaning.

Some translations/interpretations just take this to mean that the second jhana is “stable” and doesn’t require constantly redirecting your attention at it to sustain it, while the first takes active maintenance. Others interpret it in more of an “any kind of thinking” sense.

"Prior to attempting the jhanas, I’d guess that I had maybe 30 hours of lifetime meditation experience, scattered over a decade or more: in other words, not much. But with just over 20 hours of practice, I progressed through all nine jhanic states."

Okay, after that passage I stopped reading, as the author clearly doesn't know what they are talking about. The truth is, people devote their entirely lives living as monastics and still not reach Jhanas (although there are many other benefits, and the life of a monk/nun does take you closer to getting there). In fact, many respectable monks teach that Jhanas are pretty much the end of the Path. From there it is just a small step left to final Liberation.

Yes, I am aware of "Jhana lite", as taught by some lay teachers. But those are certainly not the real thing. Real Jhanas are incredibly profound and powerful states that are worth exploring and understanding, devoting a life to, even. But please get your information from a reputable sources (eg. Ajahn Brahm certainly knows what he's talking about). Not a random person on the internet with "just over 20 hours of practice".
All people do is confabulate too.

Sometimes it is coherent (grounded in physical and social dynamics) and sometimes it is not.

We need systems that try to be coherent, not systems that try to be unequivocally right, which wouldn't be possible.
This is my first time encountering the issue myself rather than reading about it in an existing comment, but with JavaScript disabled the site doesn't render any text at all; it only showed up after I end enabled it for both this domain and `squarespace.com`. As far as I can tell, the only part of the rendering that's dynamic is the content slowly fading in as I scrolled (possibly with some faux scroll-like effect rather than actually native scrolling).

I assume from the need to whitelist squarespace.com that this is more likely to due to something done on that platform rather than an intentional decision by a developer, but it's unnecessary for a site with some basic text styling and an image or two not to just render the content without animations when JavaScript is disabled. Has anyone here used Squarespace before, and if so, is this typical for sites made with it?
Only in the most broad definition of central business district.

The NYC one was just a toll, which would have created a variety of problems without really solving a bunch of others beyond revenue generation. The people gridlocking the west side to get on the tunnels aren't going to blink at a surcharge for the most part. The alternative in most cases is a $100 Uber, so a $25 toll is an annoying bargain. But massive industries, like specialty healthcare, would have been boned by patients who cannot handle the fare.

In the healthcare example, advocates would be like "not a problem! just get an exemption permit!". When my wife was being treated at MSK for an aggressive cancer, it took almost 5 months to get a NYC handicapped permit -- she unfortunately didn't live long enough to benefit. The street closures during COVID were often cited as a quality of life improvement... closures don't require a toll.
On one hand, my brain kinda shuts off when people start applying structure to spirituality.

On the other hand, doing an extensive search amongst possible head spaces you can occupy is a no-brainer for a consciousness implemented on a primate.
I was not entirely convinced by the article, being used to box plots myself for several decades. I've used them in school, college, and at work.

But after having read these comments, it really drives home his point that you can get a room full of lots of very smart people who all know what they're talking about, and they'll all disagree about the understanding and interpretation of box plots.

It's a little surprising, but the evidence in these threads pretty much cinches the argument for me.
I find that multiple sessions is the way to go. not necessarily longer. Like, dedicate 3 days to chill stuff (walking, cleaning...) and meditation. Meditate, say, 6 times a day for 20-30 minutes. That'll do it. Fasting helps too.
Typically this means they stepped the design and didn't bother to revise the doc, or used up the stock of manuals for the old version before starting on the new ones.

The biggest fucking problem with NB-IoT or LTE-M is the goddamn carriers--both managerial and technical.

1) Managerial--Just like back in the old days when the carriers stupidly fought the change from voice to data they are stupidly fighting the change from humans using the network to machines using the network. And it's just as stupid this time around and it will be just as stupidly profitable for them after the fact.

2) The carriers refuse to support older firmware so you have to be able to do multi-megabyte firmware updates every 3 months. This is anathema to anything running on a battery as your firmware updates are like 2 to 4 orders of magnitude(not exaggerating) larger than the total actual data your device will transmit over its lifetime.

The carrier cranio-rectal impaction is why LoRA still continues to exist and expand.

No, as the sidethread comment notes, there is only one way you can compute quartiles. You seem to be arguing that the correct thing to do is to impute them, and that calculating them is such a deviant practice that it would need to be specially remarked on.
Given that these things are essentially QR codes via another medium, I'm not surprised that it never caught on: QR codes are much cheaper to make (it costs nothing to include them on a leaflet other than some extra ink/toner!) and basically serve the same purpose.

Where they make more sense is when they actually include dynamic information: Some of the newer tags can e.g. include an authentication tag in the URL part, which lets you verify the tag's authenticity (together with a web service that keeps track with the high watermark of opened sequence numbers).

I wouldn't call that "RFID" anymore, though; to me, RFID means transmitting only an identifier, with all the logic happening on the backend, but ISO 14443 tags get most interesting/useful when they go beyond that and do things like authentication or local processing.
Another one to read would be the Uppakilesa Sutta (MN128) which the buddha is giving specific meditation advice to someone who is experiencing lights but not yet cultivated first jhana. It's an awesome sutta as it also connects that depth of practice with communal harmony and how that sort of inner emotional "good-with-oneself" connects with deep meditation and it's also a clear example of the buddha talking about first hand experience in a phenomenological way that we see common today.

this problem isn't entirely windows-related/driver-related either. even with the very last-gen 2020 macbooks with ice lake, they still have a pretty significant amount of discharge while sleeping. and apple is running their own OS tuned to the exact hardware with the ability to get whatever source they want for drivers (and again, the will to perfection to use it).
