The main reason is because Americans are unbelievably wealthy and can afford large homes that require multiple cars for the family to get around. It’s a positive sign of American prosperity and the envy of the world hence the massive immigration demand and relative lack of expatriatism.

If America gets to a point where that’s no longer possible and people have to live in smaller and more densely populated areas not by choice but by necessity then the country is truly in decline.

Let the Germans cram themselves into smaller homes and trains. I truly hope Americans can continue to prosper and acquire comfortable homes with more utility and private transport powered by cheap energy for all.
How much of the increased rail use is helping increase GDP, though, rather than being purely leisurely trips with little long term value for the economy? More people going to hike in the forest on the weekend technically increases GDP but doesn't add much value to the economy overall.

Ah, yeah, ignore me.
I think what he means is, if you have an @gmail.com account via Google, that is pretty good proof of control. But if you have any other e-mail (e.g. a custom domain) via Google, it's not.

Similar with Apple, if you were signing in with an @icloud.com, it's pretty good proof, but if you have an Apple ID with a third-party e-mail it's not proof of current control of that e-mail.

That's my guess.
True to a degree but cars also make parenting easier: you get bigger houses, bigger backyards, don't have lug your kids around on public transit, deal with the weather, don't need to worry about rail worker strikes, etc.

All America's missing is laws that allow kids to walk to school and adding more sidewalks to enable this, but this is changing over time (see Utah's free range parenting law).
>The USB protocol gives the drive access to all (physical) memory on the machine

Correct. It behaves like JavaScript and many other languages. You can't modify such variables in the outer scope from the inner scope unless you explicitly use the "nonlocal" declaration.

I think this is unfair. China is leading the transition to green energy, China does a lot. The data from the satellite is useful for China also, and China can benefit from it, because it means that China doesn't need to launch their own monitoring satellite. And if USA politely point to China that China missed something, I'm sure China will do something about it. Not instantly, and probably with impolite responses like "get off my lawn" like they like, but still China will hear.

The first time I tried to type a long public key it took me like 10 minutes, and was a pain in the butt. If it's something you're doing a lot, using QR codes can make it much faster and easier.
Ah, lovely, you're one of those people.

If you produce less value than the cutoff (whatever that means; wages are set based on how little a company can get away with paying, not on some arbitrary "value" you've assigned to the work), companies that employ you still have to pay you a living wage. Or not even, since minimum wage usually lags a living wage.

The funny thing is, I bet you're also the kind of person who is against welfare programs. So if the minimum wage didn't exist, people in these sorts of jobs would get paid so little that they'd end up on welfare. Not sure how that would be an improvement.

you could also work from a car if someone else is driving it like a taxi, but imagine the price difference to travel such a long distance every day over rail versus metro + rail.

Another point I haven't seen mentioned much is safety. Rail is vastly safer than cars and results in less strain on the medical system.
There was a letter circulating around on X recently, showing that the FAA asked the Fish and Wildlife Service to do their thing faster. Assuming that was real, things got moving after the pressure from Congress.

You're correct that it conveys some temporal information. You're incorrect that that makes it a tense. The imperative mood in English ("Go do this!") can be said to convey a future act. After all, you can't order someone to have done something in the past, or to be doing something right now. But that doesn't mean we refer to it as the "imperative tense".

If you look up the definition of grammatical mood on Wikipedia, along with tense and aspect, can you explain why you think this meets the definition of a tense and not a mood?

As explained, mood is implied. This is a common pattern in news reports, etc., not quite colloquial

We used a Dell workstation laptop, which has ECC memory and a Xeon processor like a server. Built-in keyboard and trackpad reduces the risk of random external devices needing to be used.

Protection was BitLocker drive encryption with a manually entered (long!) passphrase to decrypt. Backups were to encrypted USB media never plugged into anything else other than a redundant clone of the CA used for DR testing. Everything went into safes.

This design works Well Enough for all but the most demanding purposes, but the whole rigmarole was undone by a well-meaning but naive admin “just doing his job”.
I think the point is that if they had to do those things every time they used a road it would be more obvious (like buying a train ticket).
lol the quotes in step two
I just got back from a work trip and conference where, for four days, my laptop couldn't go to sleep and wake back up. Every time my laptop went into my bag, I had to fully shut down the entire system then when I got where I was going spend a bunch of time starting everything back up, getting all my context back up, etc.

Good luck trying to search for sleep issues on Linux... I only managed to hunt anything down due to some incredible luck and a couple educated guesses.

Apparently some recent systemd update decided to start freezing user.slice during suspend and either there's something wrong with this or there are bugs in the kernel (I'm not going to try and figure out which) that this fails if you use unusual and esoteric things like "kvm" or "nfs". The only way to recover the machine when this happens is a particular Magic SysRq incantation since even switching to a console TTY doesn't work directly.

To resolve this in the meantime, you need to add a drop-in conf for systemd-suspend.service to set the `SYSTEMD_SLEEP_FREEZE_USER_SESSIONS` environment variable to revert the change in behaviour.

This isn't even getting into all the esoteric bullshit involved in getting everything to a reasonably usable state in the first place. (Never did get full disk encryption working and partial encryption involved a lot of failed starts and reinstalls; Steam wouldn't show anything but a black screen without setting DRI_PRIME; fingerprint scanner required editing some PAM configs and still doesn't _really_ work right; ...)

There is no chance in hell that the hours I've invested in Linux don't completely eclipse the hours it takes to deshittify Windows.

I'm not switching off, but I'm not also going to be flippant about suggesting other people switch to Linux. It's a project, and not one everyone is willing or capable to take on.
Specifically regarding videos: Why would I waste an hour of my time watching somebody rambling on, when the edited transcript can be skim/read in 5-10 minutes? It might save the author/presenter time to just record a video. But in turn it wastes thousands of hours of other people's time.

Yeah, I get it, some people can't be bothered reading anything longer than a tweet. Those same folks watch TikTok instead of hour+ long video presentations.
In-house workers can phone it in as well.

At some point, your recursive watchers of watchers watching watchers has to have a base case of "we trust this entity" (or maybe, "you, the public, trust this entity").

Outsourcing only matters for this if it provides a break in the chain of responsibility. That is, if the person selecting the outsource provider can (successfully) say "hey, not my fault" by pointing to... some entity that whoever they answer to doesn't already trust.

> This was not ideal for us merchants as there was no method to login to track your order information.

You don't need accounts for that. Allow customers to check their order status using the order number and some other identifying bit that you are allowed to get/keep, such as last name or billing zip code. Merchants have been doing this since the very start of e-commerce. (If you can't keep anything, then just make the order numbers long random strings, and use that alone, and/or generate a random, unique URL to send in the order confirmation email.)

If a merchant creates an account for me without my consent, I delete that account and never buy from them again.

Stop abusing your customers' personal information. I'm glad I live in California, and have already opted out to PayPal sharing my information for this, as is my legal right.
Of course a car does, but does that mean you should ignore all the benefits brought by bicycles? And if we go that far, should we overlook our own muscular locomotion? It all enables the same mobility after all.

> First, the problems were manually translated into formal mathematical language for our systems to understand.

Ok so the "AI" wasn't solving the same problem as every other Olympiad, it was solving a "translated" version. I wonder how much of the solving was performed in this translation. If the model is so capable of reasoning, why was this step performed by people?

> In the official competition, students submit answers in two sessions of 4.5 hours each. Our systems solved one problem within minutes and took up to three days to solve the others.

So no, they would not have been awarded a silver medal if they were competing in the IMO.

Not to mention, AlphaProof is not an LLM and has absolutely nothing to do with what I was commenting about.
Yes, I knew all that. "Found" is still the the wrong word to use.
From the linked ESET blog post:

>It is probable that this unknown component finds the last modified directory on the USB drive, hides it, and renames itself with the name of this directory, which is done by JackalWorm. We also believe that the component uses a folder icon, to entice the user to run it when the USB drive is inserted in an air-gapped system, which again is done by JackalWorm.
Crucified?
FAA doesn't care if they blow up the tower, as long as SpaceX can explain why it happened and show that it didn't cause undue risk to the public.

People freaked out and said the same thing after IFT-1 dug up the concrete underneath the launch mount, and yet the investigation was closed within 6 months and SpaceX conducted IFT-2 2 months later.

> the exact date ordained for the expulsion of Jews from Spain

This came up in another part of the thread, but it wasn't the exact date—the decree gave Jews until the end of July [0], while August 3 (not second) is the date he sailed.

It's still close enough that it may have been related, but it's not the slam dunk that "the exact date" makes it sound like it is.

This one has a 'stronger' heat shield though, although they haven't clarified stronger in what sense. The tiles were stripped off and replaced shortly after IFT-4.
How Do you fix a Problem like Magic (the Gathering)?
Yup. PS2 keyboard and mice are still easy to find. As are VGA monitors. If you are super paranoid, you still need something more, as both PS2 and VGA allow for bidirectional transfer. But, at a certain point you need to trust your supply chain. If someone can tamper with your new monitor, they can probably tamper with your new server as well.
Even without compromising the host, you wouldn't want a monitor mirroring the output to an attacker, or a keyboard mirroring every stroke.

High stakes keeping up with organic growth. Doesn't matter what. The business would be a lot less successful and growing a lot slower if juniors were around, even if they paid us to be there.
I’ve found that the best way to learn a new emacs package is incrementally: for something like Auctex, I initially just enable it for my latex documents and then I configure and learn features as I need them, never learning too much at once. Even with minimal configuration, it gives you some nice things like imenu entries for headings and a menu that surfaces some of the basic latex feature

Nobody said that. But if you're gonna spend the public money, you need some way of determining "how much are we willing to pay for this good thing".
Do bigger houses make parenting easier, do bigger backyards? I’m inclined towards a large communual yard (a park, if you will) being many times more efficient at keeping them busy, especially if you have a single child.

Lugging your children around on public transit builds character that chauffeuring them around in a car does not. They’ll be exposed to a variety of people and situations they’d otherwise never experience.

Similar thing for the weather. I don’t want my children to grow up thinking that any kind of weather limits their options if a car is not available.

I realize my opinions might be different if I were living in a US city, just wanted to give a different perspective.

Keep in mind there’s only about 50 miles of high-speed rail in the U.S. so far. With major cities like Dallas and Houston or San Francisco and LA still unconnected by fast rail, there's significant room to boost GDP and improve lives. Expanding rail isn't just about GDP growth, it's about enhancing daily living and connecting communities more effectively. As RFK famously noted, GDP measures everything ‘except that which makes life worthwhile’. Rail development does both, supporting the economy and enriching our lives.

It's a tense. Without it, the verb would be tenseless, in its imperative form:

It's not optional either.
That helps, but I still don't have a full picture. What's the threat here? Is it that: if a hacker gains temporary access to Bob's email bob@example.com, they can create an Apple account attached to it, and use that account to sign in with a service ABC, then that hacker gains access to Bob's private info in service ABC? But if the hacker already has email access, can't he just log into service ABC directly anyway?

Also, is it impossible to have a Google account with a non-gmail address? The original poster seemed to be saying that Google _is_ a directory SSO and Apple _is not_ categorically. But if you can have a Google account without a Gmail-ran email account, wouldn't Google have the same vulnerability?

To be clear, I don't think GLP1 agonists are "negative." I think the blend of environmental, food supply, and other factors that led many adults, in the US and elsewhere, to need obesity intervention is the negative. GLP1 agonists are an inherent crutch.

Much like if we geoengineered cloud seeding or similar light blocking and fail to reduce CO2, the treatment masks the cause and can lead to worse outcomes globally (even if some folks are better off - and I hope they are!).
