I lived both in normal (not sure why you focusing on very dense ones) cities and suburbs, and I absolutely disagree.

Go to cities like Copenhagen or Amsterdam or many other great cities around Europe you can easily walk or bike through.

I don't want cities built around cars, whether it's waymo or FSD or you like to drive, they are congested hells. What you're describing is distopic hell of people interacting less and less.

Cities should be built around humans, not roads intermitted by buildings with endless parkings and traffic.

Public transit is only dead in US because all planning has focused on cars. Which is also the reason why you have so many hell holes and slums we don't. You can't afford a car, you can't even get to a job if you live in those suburbs.

I have nothing against people wanting to live in their own house, but the endless suburbs I've seen in US are just unlivable, they're again, perfect for people wanting to distance themselves from other human beings as much as possible.
> What you misunderstand is what "looks good" means.

No, I don't.

> Before AI, art that looked good was valuable and impressive precisely because few artists could produce it.

I didn't say anything about valuable and impressive, I said "useful". For an analogy, clip art isn't particularly valuable or impressive, but its useful for lots of things. Yes, exchange value is dependent on scarcity, utility is not.
They were subpoenaed because of the judge's personal dislike for those accounts. It had nothing to do with the law.
This is not true in my experience in the US (thanks sneakily-placed rapidly-changing speed limit signs enforced against out-of-state plates in Utah!)
> It feels like perpetual money laundering of shareholder value into contractors (and employees, honestly, too).

I've come to view the economics of tech this way too (although much more so true of contractors than employees). Workers are supposedly the downtrodden sucker class beneath BigWigs. But, if positioned the right way, workers can make out like absolute bandits, often at the expense of executives and majority shareholders. I've worked many useless, bloated projects that lined consultants' pockets before ending in layoff-inducing/executive-firing failure, projects that - ironically - were initiated at the behest of said executives themselves.
The social contract was to show ads. Gathering people's data even on websites they don't even own was not the social contract. Google broke the contract and to suggest otherwise is gaslightling. Google can either start blindly showing context-relevant ads with no tracking or they can eat the loss from those willing to use free services.
It's not that they don't care, it's more that they are used to centralized social media and unaware of even the possibility for a different paradigm.

I have seen them respond with intrigue and support once these things are explained.
It has a front light (though its lowest setting is brighter than I wish it was)
Mobility is a right, that includes driving.

And walking comes with responsibilities too, a ruthless walker also endangers others, it's just harder to kill somebody by bumping into them, until you bump them in front of a car or train or down the stairs.
Because they're not talking about software development cost in the first place.
I have been slowly getting acquainted with the language over the last few months and I really love it. It combines great features from multiple languages into a single one that is perfect for building back-end web apps:
- It is strongly typed, and has sum types like Rust, with very similar syntax, nice error messages, full type inference and first-party LSP implementation for great IDE tooling;
- Unlike Rust, it is a high level language with garbage collection and a sane concurrency mechanism;
- It follows the same concurrency paradigm from Erlang, since it is compiled to it and runs in the BEAM. It is quite performant for I/O stuff, apparently in the same ballpark as Go;
- It can also be compiled to JS either to run either in the back-end or the front-end side, making it possible to build isomorphic web apps if that's your thing.
Thanks for the correction, but all these families and funds (don’t look up Blackrock, I should have listened) have similar goals of self perpetuation of a system that benefits them at everyone else’s expense so even though there are multiple players it is highly likely their goals are aligned as if they were acting in concert.
I hear the Hisense a9 front light goes really really low. It’s comfy for me in darkness an inch from my face.
Mostly because there's really no way for them to. When I was young and poor, I didn't have much way to pay less taxes (not that I paid that much - but if I wanted to pay less, I couldn't) - I just had my salary, and whatever is deducted from it was it, I had no realistic way to change it. Even such things as charity donations wouldn't change it because to get out of standard deductions etc. I'd have to donate way more than I could afford.

When I got a bit more money, mortgage, stock options, investments, etc. then I started to have options - do I pay this way or that way? Do I invest in this account or that account? Does HDHP/HSA make sense for me or not? Should I sell the certain investment to harvest the tax loss or keep it? Etc. etc. then my asset structure is more varied, so are the opportunities to pay more or less tax. I imagine for really wealthy people (definitely not me, still) there are even more options how to pay less taxes, and they are doing right serious considering them (or paying people to seriously consider them) - if I ever get rich, that's what I'd do.
Wow this sounds cool, would love to try it. Somewhat similar problem happened to me during flights — a couple times I’ve had a longish layover in a random city, and just wanted someone (anyone!) to hang out with. There are apps for this, but none worked for me.
That's one of the ones I was thinking of!

A military coup d'état is unconstitutional in nearly every country, to prevent that and protect the intended way of change of government isn't a magical right but simply a duty of the government.

And Musk didn't fight as hard in India or Turkey for accounts of people that did far less.

There's obviously a bias, I wonder why?

Apple absolutely leverages their full-stack platform control to optimize their silicon. They know with insane accuracy how many cycles would be saved across a billion phones if they added (say) another integer divide unit, and if they decide that’s worth it, they can rev every major developer’s toolchain to schedule instructions for the new ALU months before the new chip ships.

After opening this web page, I pressed down arrow a few times to scroll the page. At first, I didn't understand why it only scrolled a few pixels.

It looks like there's a scrollable area within a scrollable area. The outermost scrollable area only scrolls a few pixels.

This is a badly designed web page.
honestly, it's mostly just a matter of trying to give myself the time to work with bugs as people hit them, and stage the rollout. I don't want clueless newbies running it until it's completely bulletproof.
For an average person, there's not. Like, if I pay twice as much taxes as I do now, literally nothing would change in anything paid by taxes, and I have no ways to effect that change. Same if by some miracle I stopped paying all federal taxes, there's literally nothing that would change in federal government's actions or budgets.

Could you be more specific? As I’m aware, all you need to look for is where DI is being messed with.

But there is no delay, even if I've been in Spain for 10 years I still can't vote for the parliament there.

I know about the local ones but it's not that important IMO.

I could go to the trouble of obtaining Spanish citizenship after 10 years but it is incredibly difficult and long.

I understand the problem of touristic voting but then they should let me vote here after 3 years or so.

Right now I can only vote for the Dutch government which I have nothing to do with in my life (and which is an extreme-right regime since the last election anyway)
I'd like to see more train cruises, just like we have sea cruises today. Stop in a city, see the area, train travels overnight, etc.
because maybe the point is "The basic premise of democracy is that the citizens/ordinary people are trusted as the ultimate source of the law, and the law is to serve them, not them to serve the law."

Nice twist to the premise at the end, but no, the point is that the person got punished for using sound and reasonable judgement in a situation where the regulation (not law) was ill thought out.

Bare categories do not give much insight in pure mathematics either, it's just a common language; interesting things are categories with lots of extra structure like toposes, derived categories, infinity-categories, and so on.
I'm a big fan of Pieter Abbeel. Hope he got a big bag out of it.
The fact that it went so well is not evidence that no original issue existed. On the other hand, maybe it's evidence that we over-invested a bit into diminishing returns.

A perfectly fine-tuned response would have a little bit more to fix on January 1. Of course, expecting society to perfectly fine-tune the response for something poorly understood is hard.
I tried their 25 inch monitor. E-Ink is such a better experience. I don't feel so jacked in to the matrix when I use it.

The ghosting and refresh rate are holding this technology back though. Definitely not main driver status yet.

LED and LCD screens seem to shift the brain into an agitated frequency. I wish they'd make more progress with E-Ink!
That doesn’t really have anything to do with this article which is about running JS quickly on server wasm runtimes.
In the US, it is legal to film anywhere public (out on the street, in a government building, etc). You can even film inside of private establishments (restaurants, stores) until you have been asked to stop.

This is part of the protection of free speech and press. You cannot use the footage gathered for commercial purposes without permission of people you filmed. Journalism for pay, and art for pay are not considered commercial purposes.
Yes shelled I screwed up by saying unshelled
I have been seriously considering picking up one of these for a dedicate e-reader device just for The Economist (using a custom version of the Economist I create every week), mostly for around my house.

The main thing holding me back is still needing to carry two devices when im mobile, and of course, investing in hardware for a single publication.

I really prefer reading on e-ink, I like the form factor of this, and the performance seems decent for reading.
If you're just using YouTube for hosting - there's other ways to pay for that, Vimeo comes to mind.
Can you explain this a little more? This is for running JS server side right? So why would there be a DOM? Is the issue that JS libraries or other things you would be using assume a DOM?
Or if you don’t want to see ads you could pay for it instead. Like an adult. Works great.

They present a perfectly valid choice to you, and it works great. It’s a reasonable enough price (not great but reasonable), but it supports the creators you watch with part of your subscription money.

Plus it has other benefits if you care, like free TV shows and movies and YouTube music. I don’t use that stuff but it is there.
I don't think it is. I think the assertion is that people who have been accused of supporting something that has been seen as a coup by supporters of the administration should have their speech banned, anyone who helps them speak should be arrested, and anyone who listens to them speak should be fined $10,000 per violation.
Compilers don’t have to disassemble instructions, so the fact that x86 is hard to disassemble doesn’t matter. And it’s not actually hard in practice if the binary contains labels for function starts.

Neither x86 nor arm are easier to compile for, because they both have different quirks that cause headaches. X86 has two operant forms, which require more work. Arm has restrictions on conditional jump distance and immediate encodings, which requires more work. So, an instruction set that had no two operant forms like x86 and that allows any instruction to have any sized immediate would probably be easiest to compile form. Allowing any instruction to have a 32-bit or even 64-bit immediate would lead to either all instructions being huge or to variable length instructions. X86’s use of variable length instructions allows 32-bit immediates everywhere, so in that sense, it makes compiling easier.
Progressive The Guardian conveniently conceals "local laws" actually are "censorship for anyone that doesn't sing and preach by the current Brazilian Government". Shameful.

There are plenty of third-party video hosts out there that let you do this. Wistia, Vimeo, etc.
No. The most plausible explanation is they sold stock and paid capital gains. They do it all the time. Don't believe me? Just look at the insider transaction reports that all public companies file. e.g Bezos sold 1.2 billion last month: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMZN/insider-transactions/
You'd need to pay based on traffic too not just video total. And have a system in place to add payment if your videos became hits. Would really curtail amateur uploads.

Conceivably an option for professionals with business models but hard to see it being a default for a service that wants traction.

And frequently equally bad results, such as picking a logo almost exactly the same as another company in the same sector. For instance, the NBC TV network in 1975 hired consultants to make a logo almost exactly the same as Nebraska Educational Television:

http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2011/09/one-of-nbcs-great-blun...

I worked as a webdev for the Cornell University Library (more than 70 web sites) at the time when Cornell changed their logo from a nice little square that looked like the J.C. Penny logo except it said "Cornell" on it and then they made everybody doing any kind of visual communication change their logo including hiring a friend of mine as a consultant for almost two years to change all the letterheads and similar things for suborganizations that didn't have graphic design talent in house.

We got this thing instead

https://brand.cornell.edu/logos/

which I think is OK graphically on its own but unlike the square it is demanding on the environment that it is in and might force you to change things around it to look good whereas I liked the square because you could just put the square near an edge or a corner and it always looked OK.
Yes; the ordinary thing to compare is MSAs, which take this into account; Calumet Park (and Blue Island and Oak Lawn) are all part of the Chicago MSA.
In fairness to Google, costs to host video would scale with viewers. Unless creators are willing to pay increasingly excessive costs as their viewerbass grows (which I doubt) some kind of per-viewer cost (like ads) needs to be charged.

There's no guarantee creators can collect as much income without Google either. Google has proven they can get way more income from ads than pretty much everyone else, and even bug channels with sponsorships still derive a very large income portion from Google ads (based on what I've heard from LinusTechTips videos)

In this scenario you’d also have to pay for bandwidth since that’s the variable cost here. The more views you get, the more you pay. And obviously you wouldn’t get any money from YouTube for views since they aren’t making money from your videos.

Genuinely curious, would you still go for it?
I noticed my very old Youtube videos have degraded in quality. I'd rather pay monthly then be surprised to find out important videos I trusted to Google have been effectively destroyed.
The variable-length instructions make very little difference in building a compiler at this point, that it's practically negligible. If you look at GCC or LLVM, while there is some extra code to deal with the variable length encoding, it's not anywhere near big enough of a challenge for them.

> I once extended a Common Lisp compiler to emit machine code for SSE4.2 instructions (specifically minss and maxss). The experience was a bit bad due to subtle differences in prefixes and specific fields needing to be set to activate some mode for SSE4.2 instructions.

I assume this was some toy compiler or a non-optimizing compiler. LLVM or GCC (or any other industrial strength optimizing compilers) have no trouble whatsoever dealing with any of those. The difficulty with more complex instructions like vector instructions is in optimization / being able to find the code pattern that can take advantage of the complex instructions, and that has nothing whatsoever to do with them being variable length encoding or prefixes or knowledge about instruction set themselves. If the program is already written for it - e.g. using intrinsics - emitting and mapping to the machine code is trivial, regardless of how complex the instruction encoding rule is.
"Sound and reasonable judgement" to save a couple seconds?

That still just seems like rationalization of bad behavior.

You're right that the basic premise of democracy is that citizens can be trusted as the source of the law, but it seems to me that this particular citizen can't actually be trusted? I mean, they're demonstrating a lack of integrity, are they not?
Silicon economics mean that whoever has the highest volume can invest the most in better designs and better process.

Apple gets volume from the iPhone.

This is also why x86 outperformed expensive (and so low volume) RISC workstation CPUs for a long time at single thread perf, and then eventually on multi thread perf too.
Let's try it. 20 seconds to first start on a M2 mac mini, not amazing. Search takes about 3-5 seconds. Navigate to video another 3-5 seconds. No 4k. No casting. Can't change the playback speed. Can't jump on timeline with 0-9 keys. Doesn't sync to my other devices. Doesn't know about my membership perks, of course.

After a few minutes I would say this is easily the worst way to watch YouTube short of printing the videos out.

I have the solution - someone else should pay!

When you say "the rich" don't pay enough, you're essentially saying "don't tax me" then launch into a selfish, ad hominem tirade about how greedy "those" other people are
The terminology here can be a little confusing, because WoL isn't a precisely standardized term but rather sort of a general label for a family of behaviors, the most common of which is the "Magic Packet" that originated with AMD. For some time a magic packet was mostly the only thing that could wake a computer, because the NIC had to originate a power-on event and most NICs were only capable of doing so in response to a magic packet. There were, though, particularly in more "enterprise" contexts, NICs that could be configured to wake the machine on other types of traffic. This kind of thing went in the option ROM of high-end NICs.

Today, though, with various low-power states and "hybrid sleep," packets received while in a low-power state can actually be delivered to the operating system to make a decision on waking. That's made WoL a lot more complex: with a supported network adapter and power state, Windows will wake up in response to pretty much any network traffic directed at the sleeping computer. That detection is surprisingly sophisticated, unicast packets addressed to a computer will wake it, but so will certain recognized discovery protocols sent to broadcast when they specify the computer's hostname.

One the one hand, it's pretty neat that e.g. attempting to connect to an SMB share on a Windows computer will wake it. On the other hand, it means that "nuisance" WoL has become an occasional irritation. For that reason you can configure Windows back to the original behavior of only waking on a magic packet specifically. To be fair, the whole idea came about in part because of all the implementation limitations with magic packets that made them very flaky.

Microsoft refers to all of this functionality with the term "WoL," while Apple seems to have decided to avoid the confusion by calling the entire concept "Wake on Demand" instead.
Not quite - even among those people who take the standard deduction, contributing to a tax advantaged account would reduce taxes for most of them. And a significant proportion of low income people don’t even file a tax return, so by doing nothing they literally give away money.
