It was always 100ml, but some airports don't comply because their national regulator says it's fine if you have a fancy scanner. Now EC says, no it's not, go back in line.

Schiphol for example lets you bring in whatever whater you want in whatever flask you have.
Agree. In the context of software development, you might choose different tools (programming language especially) if your goal is rapid application development rather than general high quality and long-term maintainability. You can't easily go back and change those decisions.

This is one of the perennial software development questions: to what extent can you improve an existing solution with a flawed or now-inappropriate architecture or implementation? This topic turned up a couple of months ago. [0]

While I agree that the prices (of everything) went up, it wasn't due to adoption of euro. The grocery prices dramatically rised in the year before euro adoption due to inflation and then continued to rise after that.

Also I do find it kind of funny when tourists are complaining about prices of food in touristy places. I've eaten a hamburger in Chicago which was $15 and food prices (restaurants etc) are comparatively much higher then in Croatia.

At the same time, the prices in the grocery stores are completely out of control due to high taxes and makes living on the coast or islands as a local miserable and very expensive. Needless to say that housing is also totally out of wack, Croatia is not going in a good direction for it's own citizens.
Use it as a strength you are not bound by preconceived imagery of what should be. Use the way you recall and collect information to be creative, solve problems and bring a different perspective to things.
That perspective makes sense in America where there is a strong supply response to increasing prices.

In America, enough housing physically exists such that, it's typically just a matter of price.

In Australia, the population increased so suddenly after covid, that we just haven't been able to build enough houses quick enough to stop homelessness.

For context, at current occupancy rates, our housing industry is building enough new homes for about 240,000 additional people per year, but our net migration is about 600,000 per year.

Unlike in America, most of our homeless population does have full time jobs, it's just that there are hundreds of people applying for every available property which means it often takes many months to secure one.

Prices are increasing, and will eventually find a new higher equilibrium, but it's going to take years to build enough housing to solve our homelessness problems.
Your idea of rights sounds much like classical liberalism. Which had, at the time the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was written, failed in very obvious ways. Classical liberals got some things right, but their ideas did not lead to a peaceful and prosperous society where everyone's rights would be respected.

Instead, the countries where liberalism was the strongest also believed in imperialism. They divided the world among themselves and took advantage of everyone else. And when liberalism failed to deliver the promised prosperity to common people, those people turned to nationalism and communism. Which led to two destructive world wars and many other wars.

When the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was written, the failure of liberalism was as obvious as the failure of communism was a few decades later. Liberalism was an insufficient foundation for a civilized society. Something more was needed, and the United Nations wrote up their vision of the future. Which they, as the winners of WW2, had every right to do according to the natural law. After all, nothing is more natural than the strong ruling over the weak.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is not a legally binding document. But it is a morally binding one. Particularly to the 48 countries, including Australia, that originally voted to adopt it.

Then there is the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which is a legally binding treaty signed and ratified by 172 countries. Including Australia (but not including the US). It contains many of the same ideas about the rights to an adequate standard of living, health, education, and so on.

I have lived in hamburg too and went from there often and I have never found besides going to the toilet a way of getting water.

The bigger joke is that the vending machines in an international airport only accept euro and no credit cards.

Maybe this changed since I have moved from hamburg to Stockholm 2 years ago. But the hamburg airport compared to Arlanda is a joke.
Thats true. A better demo is planned and will hopefully soon be uploaded.
You greatly overestimate the capacity of the average person to care about the nuances of their phone's OS, the amount of environmental harm their way of life brings, the corruption of the politicians they vote for, etc.

Obviously if you ask people, they'll say they don't want to not be able to install some apps on their phone, they don't want to destroy the environment, they want an honest government, etc. Yet when it comes time to act, they act contrary to all the above, because it's so hard to act otherwise.

This is like saying shopkeepers are happy with mafia protection because they keep paying for it.
Claiming “many” proves nothing. There has been one claim in this thread, that Hamburg does not.

Exactly! This is what I wrote in this article.

Using LLMs to support code writing gives more space to deal with everything else, and that's the point.
The order relation on computable reals is undecidable - this is well known, and the parent's argument is correct. If both x<y and x>y were decidable then you could easily decide equality too by just checking them and seeing if the answer to both was "no".

Computability theory is mathematics.
That's why he said Every airport I've *personally* been to in Europe does

What's your problem?
Not at tourist destinations in Mexico and Dominican Republic. It is inhumane that those airports offer absolutely no free drinking water options for passengers. Tap water in these countries is not safe to drink.
Its not clear if people are moving in faster than new housing can be built or if supply availability is artificially limiting speed of growth. Prices do matter, because that impacts inventory access more than any other factor and largely explains the desirability of this location, versus other locations, more than any other factor.
Have you heard about having a civil discussion without being snarky for no reason?

Have you seen the dark patterns some airports use like very low taps that don't fit a water bottle under them in the sinks, or hooking up the taps to the warm water lines?

Also, tap water in some countries, while safe to drink, tastes awful, like chlorine, so even if you can get it from the bathroom tap, it's not ideal.

Every day it gets harder for me to believe that the medical and pharmaceutical industrial system's configuration of incentives can ever lead to improvements in health for people.

I don't doubt there are many, many researchers and physicians who genuinely want to help people. It's possible to me that virtually everyone does.

But if that's the case, the incentive structure has apparently gotten away from everyone and become some sort of monster working at cross-purposes toward them at all times, keeping them from succeeding.

I don't know the specific numbers, but what fraction of the U.S. workforce and economy is involved in medical/pharmaceutical or related insurance research, treatment, or administration? It has to be well into the double digits.

If people started actually being cured of things, actually being well, whole segments of this structure would collapse--and if that percentage figure is high enough, so would the economy.

I don't think we even need to posit that there are actually malevolent people involved who are trying to keep people sick. It could all just be a consequence of a whole system that depends on it to keep operating, and consequentially nudges just enough of every benevolent, neutral, or merely self-interested person's work in a direction that keeps it from making people well.
A bubble doesn't mean the underlying demand/industry doesn't exist.

It means there's a mass over investment and over spend in companies trying to serve the demand at the time.
A 100% tax on property for those owning more than 50 properties would cause a large movement in the market. But people will say what about the value being tanked when all those houses go on the market? I say, good. The value of homes should go down. People need a place to live. Houses should not be considered an asset. You don't treat your home like an asset. You don't buy it when the market is right or sell it when it's right. You don't improve it in ways that are most likely to increase value. You live in your house. It's your place to be. Whether it's a flat, a house, or a boat in a canal, it's where you live and feel safe and spend a large chunk of time.

Your comment makes no sense at all. You do not need to get a PR merged before you can use your changes. You work out a patch, use it locally to meet your needs, post a PR, and you move on with your life regardless of whether your PR is merged or not.

In fact, that's the whole premise of GitHub: you fork a repo, you work on a feature branch, you post a PR, anf your fork stays there.

To repeat my point: it's easier to add small features to a parser than it is to reimplement everything, and posting a PR with your small change takes no work at all.
I'm sick and tired of people expecting non-standard behaviour from C/C++ compilers when there are long estabished standards that clearly state what is allowed and what is not. If you are writing something like Unreal Engine and you resort on UB to get all of the performance you can get without writing assembly, then you also need to know you'll have to commit to a certain version of a certain compiler if you want a deterministic behaviour.

> it has made transactional atomic changesets (commits in the git parlance) mainstream

Nope. Subversion made them mainstream:

"An svn commit operation publishes changes to any number of files and directories as a single atomic transaction. In your working copy, you can change files' contents; create, delete, rename, and copy files and directories; and then commit a complete set of changes as an atomic transaction.

By atomic transaction, we mean simply this: either all of the changes happen in the repository, or none of them happens. Subversion tries to retain this atomicity in the face of program crashes, system crashes, network problems, and other users' actions." [0]

>Claiming “many” proves nothing.

And claiming "every one I've been to" proves what exactly?

>There has been one claim in this thread, that Hamburg does not.
It does.

Great, but what does that have to do with my comments? Since I never mentioned Hamburg airport, so why rub that in my face?

I've been to other airports that don't provide water stations which I can talk about, but not Hamburg.
thankyou! its crazy to me that even the README for this project had pretty much nothing on what the project actually is.
In the long run yes, but Australia's problem is that migration has suddenly increased from about 250k pa to 600k pa, and our building industry simply can't keep up.

Prices are spiking, but there isn't much supply response because Australia has low unemployment and few people are willing to switch careers, especially given it takes years of training to become qualified.
Not always, the 100ml rule came sometime in the 2006, I think.

Follow up question: Where in the dotcom bubble is AI in 2024?

Is it already 2000? Or is it in the beginning, 1995? 1998?

For some context, if you invested in Nasdaq in Jan of 1995 and did not sell until September 2001, you'd still be up by 86%. And if you invested at the absolute peak of the bubble, you'd still be up 250% in 2024.

Exactly that is what I am talking about. It is a totally irrelevant feature, which has exactly zero use to the application itself and only adds a mountain of complexity.

Android malware absolutely is a huge problem.
I think a likely and hidden contributor to the BigTech layoffs of 2023 is the development of AI. I know there are other reasons, but it didn't hurt that they had labor saving AI systems built that could handle the load.

After hiring a lot of people, having systems built, and training data developed, they could replace large amounts of staff that used to need to do manual work those AI systems. Less manual moderation, more automated responses. It became "fashionable" to cut staffing levels, so companies followed suit.

Most tech leaders avoid talking about how much labor AI will replace. We don't know yet, but it likely follow trends of making junior roles harder to find while making seniors more valuable with a slight reduction in the overall workforce. This has been present in all industries
I look at it as investor error due to lack of expertise in the business area. If investors understood the economics of internet businesses better (and almost nobody did in something this new) they may have helped grow the Internet economy even faster than it did, without the bubble or burst.
No not exactly, I meant simply restricting access to particular resources.

So, for example, denying access too whatever.whatever/*.mp3 while allowing access to everything else under that domain, potentially applying some form of password/key protection to each restriction rule.

While possible both with nginx and apache I feel the configuration for such rules could be simplified, it’s sometimes a little tedious to configure.
On the other hand, maintaining a custom tool vs a patched fork is not that dissimilar, is it? If patching the prevalent tool makes sense otherwise, I wouldn’t worry too much about upstreaming.
I think the weak arguments are in the text surrounding those quotes.

>Indeed, for the entirety of the Industrial Age, those invested in the maximally efficient extraction of productive outputs from human bodies have been trying to get us to view ourselves — and more importantly one another — as flawed, inefficient, fungible machines destined to be disposed of as soon as our output rate slips below an expected peak or the moment...

Which is a bit strawman. I mean who, as a real person does that?

The second one she's saying why have AI do art when it should be doing my taxes, but people are probably working on doing taxes, it's just the art stuff happens to work well, LLMs filing your tax less so. Although I can see an interesting argument that those false tax deductions were hallucinated by the LLM, not my fault.

> I presume you had the special plug for your 200 range outlets?

The same type of socket is used for "110V" (usually 127V) and "220V", sometimes in the same building, sometimes right next to each other. The "220V" socket might be colored red, or might have a sticker saying "220V" glued next to it, but don't count on it. The only difference is between the 10A and the 20A, the pins on the 20A plug are slightly thicker and don't fit in the 10A socket (the opposite works fine).

But at least, it's better than a couple of decades ago: on top of all that, back then we didn't even have a plug and socket standard. It was a mix of several types, including a "universal" socket which looked like the common USA socket but could also accept plugs with round pins, and all of them (including the USA standard sockets) could be used for both "110V" and "220V". The new plug and socket standard is great; it's better than the USA standard, since a partially pushed plug won't expose live pins (and it's also slightly smaller, allowing for denser power strips). It's unfortunate that they didn't also modify the European standard they used as a base to add keying for the different voltages (while allowing a universal plug for things which can work on both voltages), but I understand that trying to do too much could make it politically unfeasible to mandate the new standard.

> Does Brazil also have split phase AC like the US?

It's more common to have three-phase AC (that is, between phase and neutral is 127V and between a pair of phases is 220V), but we also have some places with split phase (for instance, 110V between phase and neutral and 220V between a pair of phases).

My mother has Alzheimer’s and I would love to be able to blame her condition and lack of treatment on anyone at all. It would be immensely, primally satisfying - which to me is a warning flag for cognitive bias.

I think the logical pathway between “two 20 year old papers that ‘sparked’ the Amyloid hypothesis are responsible for the entire research agenda and billions spent on ineffective drugs” is strained. “Sparked” may be true, but the idea that a few twenty-year old fraudulent images tricked Big Pharma into spending two decades chasing this hypothesis and developing drugs, and all along the way the whole thing was based on fake data that nobody every bothered to test in a subsequent experiment? That seems deeply unlikely to me. If true I would like to see that case made with evidence.

TL;DR What I am not saying: fraud is acceptable. What I am saying is that there are many replication and error correction systems in science, and people with an axe to grind really don’t want to understand that.
I think it is very likely much more time. Fonts are hard and the mere existence of text which doesn't move in a straight line adds enormous complexity. Also don't forget that it's existence requires competitors to implement similar things.
