The entire world sucks for cycling.

A few urban areas, mostly in Europe, are an exception to this. I'm sure that the entire UK isn't good for cycling, are you talking about a relatively small area in a city?

N=1, or, Story Time!

In 2017 my wife and I were living in Portugal for several months. When we needed to refill her prescriptions, our short-term rental host said, "Go to the ER."

Backstory: we're well familiar with ERs in the U.S. Due to various conditions, we've been to at least a dozen ERs a total of perhaps twenty times. For anyone who doesn't know, unless you are actively dying, visiting the ER in the U.S. is sloooow. The average time to see a doctor, in our experience, is about an hour.

So we replied: "the ER? seriously?"

He assured us it would be fine, so we walked ten minutes to the ER and signed in. We had barely turned in the history paperwork when they called us to go back. No preliminary check-in with the nurse -- straight to the doctor.

She said, "Why did you come to the ER? We could have been busy and you would have had to wait."

We explained how our host had assured us this was the best way to go, and that the ER would take care of us.

The doctor nodded and said, "Sure, I'll sign for the prescriptions, but just remember it might take more time the next time."

We went back to the front desk. Remember, we had no travel insurance, this was full freight. "That will be twenty-eight euro." We happily paid, and walked out the door, prescriptions in hand, less than 30 minutes after we walked in.

Bonus: the cost to buy the prescriptions, again with no insurance, was less than the co-pay in the U.S. with employer-healthcare.

N=2: When my daughter was visiting me in Bangkok, she got a bit of a gastro issue. Same as in Portugal, we had no insurance for her. I took her to Bumrungrad, one of the best hospitals in Thailand. We were in and out in under an hour, including picking up the prescription, and the total cost was under $100.

I'm not trying to rebut the article, just throwing out some details.
That is not even close to what would happen in reality..

first of all, all the communication infra is already in place, american companies pulling does not mean the infra goes down immediately... people communication and emergency services would keep working as usual for a long time..

And there are LOTS of chinese companies that would gladly come and take over the market..

This is why american tech companies will NEVER pull from EU.. EU market is huge and they need the money from it.. while the EU market have alternatives if they need to...
And how is that distinction relevant to whether a given act should be labeled "terrorism" or not?
Tells you a lot about the state of the industry.
M43112609 (2008-08) was discovered prior to M42643801 (2009-06), so that order is not really strict. I agree that there is a human tendency to test smaller primes (thus faster to verify) first, but it should be also noted that every single Mersenne number smaller than M124399361 has been already tested at least once by someone even though that limit would be way higher than what we have for primes. There are also some groups of people that specifically look for prime numbers that are barely enough to be 100,000,000+ decimal digits [1]. Given we didn't see any new Mersenne prime for many years, new prime from a random range seems much more likely than ever.

[1] See https://www.mersenne.org/primenet/ and scroll down to the starting exponent of 332,000,000. There would be an unusually large number of assigned LL/PRP tasks around this range. In fact, this holds for virtually all available PrimeNet statuses in the Wayback machine!
With that line of reasoning you could claim that the American Indian Movement is a foreign occupying power within the USA, as they receive support from and serve the strategic interests of other indigenous liberation movements around the Americas (including Nicaragua and Bolivia); Or you could flip the script and claim that the Nicaraguan Contras were a US backed foreign occupying power in Nicaragua.

That is simply not what a foreign occupying power means. Let’s take the contras for example. They weren’t just mindless drones of the US empire, they had their own strategic interest which happened to align with US interest in the region. Would they have been active without US backing, for sure, they just wouldn’t have been so successful (and therefore not as brutal).

The Contras main interest were to reinstate the pre-revolution powerstructure, and to make sure no wealth and land redistribution occurred, they adopted whichever strategy they saw fit, including a heavy anti-communism in order to secure US backing.
Wow, this thing can reason now? How come it keeps getting my basic word problems wrong?

I think there is a deterministic algorithm (based on GPS position?) for determining who climbs and who descends.
I'm not so sure that's the healthcare system. The USA doesn't do well in preventing that which is preventable.

The System is only as healthy as the population it serves. In the USA demand is high, price naturally follows. Reduce demand, prices will fall.

I mean, I'm just guessing, but AUS becomes one of the busiest airports for non-commercial planes this weekend every year. Even an old Cessna is literally a private jet, and they clearly weren't listing to ATC, so it's either entitlement or some sort of minor disaster that almost became a major disaster.

It's a choice to fly your airplane across the land/takeoff trajectory for a major airport. They also essentially flew by the F1 track on the way.
That, and also adding that naive reformist attitudes are incredibly common. Chesterton’s fence is a cognitive tool a lot of people don’t have, or that they only manage to apply in one narrow field of expertise. “I don’t know how anyone could think X” where X is a naive position, is kind of funny, so I replied kind of funnily to remind people that the underlying principle is not obvious.

A Cessna 182 isn't a private jet.

Yup, and since they routinely oversell flights, I have zero sympathy for them. Negative sympathy even

This whole ordeal could be best summarised as "everyone else is the problem, it couldn't possibly be me."
I am on the airlines side really. They set the fare from A to B.

If you start have people skipping they can no longer offer the competitive fares. The solution could be fines for doing it as a general principle.

They also may cause delays due to final calls, security and manifest checks etc.
I’m Australian and have been living in the US for the last 7 years, working for the same employer the whole time. I was originally on an E3 which was renewed twice, before transferring to a H1b and finally a greencard.

The E3 is not “automated” in the sense that some interactions with CBP are. You have to attend an interview at a consulate outside the US (my first was in Sydney, renewals were all in London) and while it’s not really stressful or has a high rejection rate it’s not something I’d personally risk without a lawyer having prepared the paperwork.

As for how I communicated this when applying for jobs, I always selected that I needed sponsorship and then the first sentence in my cover letter explained that I’m eligible for an E3. I interviewed with probably 100 companies back then and only one of them that I got to a first phone screen with cared about the visa thing and it was because they wanted to fill the headcount asap. Once companies get to a certain size they are either ok with sponsorship for all roles or not ok for any, and it’s just something that gets handed off to legal after a hiring decision is made. I wouldn’t worry about the companies that automatically cull your application based on needing sponsorship.
The most amazing theory I ever read was from The Second Messiah, which is totally fanciful and speculative, but even as a work of the imagination its strikingly impressive.

What they said was that it's not fake, but its not exactly real either, in the sense that its not Jesus. What we're seeing is the image of a man who was tortured the way Jesus was said to have been tortured, including the crucifixion. But the man was a crusading Knight, and the authors even think they can name him: Jaques de Molay, commander of the Knights Templar. After being tortured he was wrapped in his linen shroud (one of the few personal possessions that the template owned) and he recovered to be put on trial and ultimately burned at the stake. The shroud was folded up and put away and then he image formed slowly over years, by some chemical process which the authors explained but I can't remember.

This explains the carbon dating and the apparent mystery regarding the details of the crucifixion injuries: traditionally Jesus is depicted with holes in his hands but apparently that does not actually work. The wrists must be nailed instead, as seen in the shroud.

They also claim to have proven that the mans knees were bent as apparently this is the only way to explain the proportions.

I doubt it was a very scientific assessment but it was still fascinating to read.They even claimed that the shroud first appeared in the possession of someone who might have been a relative based on the name (can't remember the details now)
> Even an old Cessna is literally a private jet...

No, it isn't. It's a small non-jet aircraft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_182_Skylane

They are not required to in that airspace at that altitude.

Reminds me of the famous Interstate Commerce Act of 1887.
How about we jail airline executives and fine airlines for overselling flights, forcing people to give up their seats, banning people for skiplagging, kicking people off based on clothing, etc. If they can be so arbitrary and refuse passengers, we should just revoke their license to operate.
Agreed. I like the idea of being hostile to the airlines so I’ve used Skiplagged to search for flights before but I’ve never found a hidden city itinerary that I actually wanted to take.

I’m guessing it probably makes sense with certain airports with high fees near concentrations of wealth? E.g. maybe London->NYC costs more than London(->NYC)->Albany because NYC airports have high fees and airlines presume wealthier clientele bound for NYC?
San Francisco Learned to Love Self-Driving Cars
Not really. Their goal shouldn't be to maximize profit and they should take care not to price people out from access to cultural artifacts. If the goal is just to reduce the number of visitors then a lottery system or limitations on ticket sales issued on a first come first served basis is far more fair.
Which is funny, because atheism is fundamentally and quite literally irrational.

It rests entirely on the premise that reason plays no role in the existence or structure of the universe. That, for no reason at all the big bang happened. Then also for no reason at all, the laws of physics permitted the formation of stars, planets, and so on. And then, also for no reason at all, some of that matter became alive. Of course we don’t really know how to define what life even is satisfactorily. And then, still for no reason at all, except apparently some built in drive to replicate (why? No reason of course) that life evolved over billions of years into something that fancies itself rational, for no reason at all.

It’s quite a puzzle!
> NHTSA said it was opening the inquiry after four reports of crashes where FSD was engaged during reduced roadway visibility like sun glare, fog, or airborne dust. A pedestrian was killed in Rimrock, Arizona, in November 2023 after being struck by a 2021 Tesla Model Y, NHTSA said. Another crash under investigation involved a reported injury

> The probe covers 2016-2024 Model S and X vehicles with the optional system as well as 2017-2024 Model 3, 2020-2024 Model Y, and 2023-2024 Cybertruck vehicles.

This is good, but also for context 45 thousand people are killed in auto accidents in just the US every year, making 4 report crashes and 1 reported fatality for 2.4 million vehicles over 8 years look miniscule by comparison, or even better than many human drivers.
What is the risk of releasing the files, is it about to expose that the Rodin Museum has fakes?
Yep, it is not just travelers going to destinations that compete for chairs on an airplane but also workers of the airline too. The larger airlines have to balance these priorities
I always try to force the timeout to 0 on those really annoying download sites that try to make me wait.

That's essentially the approach for the landing to the airport. I'd assume the AA flight was on its way in for landing.

It definitely strikes me as a place that wouldn't be a great idea to fly your plane past if you're not planning to be on comms with ATC.
First, we are about 41 million people and every year we welcome about half a million new people to freedom and safety. That's about 1.2%. About 300 000 of these come to us in the economic immigrant category who are decidedly able to take care of themselves or they wouldn't be to immigrate so. A bit more than 100 000 of them are coming as family, 70-75 000 come as refugee and about 10 000 come as Humanitarian / Compassionate other. I always thought a nation as rich as ours should welcome a lot more refugees.

Anecdotally, two stories:

- A while back, I had dinner with two friends who do pharma research. At the time they were working on treatment for T2 diabetes. Naive me asked, "Why not just focus on prevention?" They said it's doesn't happen. Too few people are willing to change.

- More recently I had a conversation with a doctor at a social event. A similar topic came up, again I suggest prevention. And again I was told the same, it just doesn't happen.
I hear a lot of complaints about Apple’s generated passwords, but I like them a lot and find them quite easy to memorize for the reasons listed in the article.

Safari also (sometimes) can recognize when “special” characters aren’t allowed, but doesn’t always work and doesn’t seem to detect password length limits, forcing me to manually adjust the password. Usually this just means deleting the hyphens and/or removing the last cluster to bring the length down to 16 or 12 characters.

Parsing out the password requirements from webpages seems like a good use for Apple Intelligence…
> Skiplagging is not illegal, but airlines view it as a policy violation that is grounds for termination of a traveler’s entire itinerary since the airline can't sell the empty seat in the onward flight.

'Can't' or 'aren't supposed to'? Airlines oversell flights ALL THE TIME. This just allows them to double sell the seat without having to ask anyone to volunteer for a free flight credit on a later flight. Seems like a win-win.
Expanding Our Code of Conduct to Protect Private Conversations
The former is more common than you might think: hub-and-spoke airlines compete on route pricing, but if an airline doesn’t offer a particular direct flight, then it has to offer an indirect one for a comparable price.

This is why you get these weird pricing patterns where the direct flight costs more than the indirect one. They’re deliberately trimming their margins on certain passengers to compete, hoping to make up the lost revenue with direct fliers (or fliers on more expensive routes).

The restrictions aren’t that onerous if you’re really trying to fly for cheap. Business travelers probably won’t do it, but there’s lots of folks who just fly for personal reasons (think: sports fans going to their team’s game, people visiting family, etc.) and who might be willing to put up with the slight risks for a cheaper fare.
Pretty easy! I have plenty of immigrant friends that never learned mandarin and they've been getting by for anywhere between 6-14 years without issue. I recommend learning mandarin of course but for any given thing you need to do there's usually an English escape valve e.g. the English speaking counters at the tax office.
Will the review assess overall mortality of the vehicles compared to similar cars, and overall mortality while FSD is in use?

You mean no checked baggage, right? Carry-on is fine.
While good cross-compilation is one of Go's strengths... I don't really think a unified assembly language contributed to that? Any assembly code can't be shared across multiple architectures in general, so the only potential benefit would be the easiness of parser development, which doesn't sound like a big thing. Rob Pike himself even noted that it can be offputting to outsiders but considered it's a worthy trade-off nevertheless [1], the conclusion I don't really think justified.

Private plane then. The point is the same. If you're flying a couple miles away from a commercial airport and across the path of the runways, maybe you're not required to be listening to ATC, but that's definitely a choice you're making to risk it.
Any idea what percentage of their sales are actually hidden city itineraries? Every time I’ve searched with them I’ve seen few or no hidden city results, but I guess it’s neat to be aware of the option if it does exist.
> Requests for public funding almost always claim it's for the betterment of the public despite almost never being so and no one ever gets called out on it.

That's just corruption and we should absolutely be calling out every instance of it. If that's not the exception right now, I hope that changes in the near future.

That doesn't explain why that would make the price cheaper to keep someone on the flight than letting them get off. It may be a meaningless difference, or even the same price, but cheaper to have the extra leg doesn't make sense if there is competition. That person has weight if nothing else and that costs money to haul.

I'm not sure that's the case, "offering competitive fares" implies that they are trying to charge less, however no business is going to sue for their right to charge less money. They want to charge more, and are using the legal system to help achieve that end.
Will this verdict stop Skiplagged from continuing its business in the future, either legally or financially? Or is it more like a one-time penalty they have to pay
No one here gets it, even though @sama has said it countless times.

I will write it explicitly for you once again:

The plan is to make inference so cheap it's negligible.
I wish we had TCAS for small aircraft as well! PCAS is great, but it's passive, so it doesn't help if two small aircraft are in dangerous proximity.
the view of coups as one faction replacing another is quite a rabbit hole, but it's a political analysis that has some experimental and predictive power.
there has to be guarantor or benefactor on the other side of it. in this view, leaders are figureheads accountable to the small essential coalition who keeps them there. the idea of secret cabals orchestrating these things is usually backwards, where a revolutionary (or politician) is really just an entrepreneurial dealmaker between elite factions.

> Private plane then. The point is the same.

No, it isn't. You can get a Cessna for less than a Cybertruck. You cannot get a private jet that cheap.

> If you're flying a couple miles away from a commercial airport and across the path of the runways, maybe you're not required to be listening to ATC, but that's definitely a choice you're making to risk it.

There's an explicit system of controlled airspace around airports.

See the picture illustrations in https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/97110/why-do-ai...

The Cessna was operating in airspace it had the legal right to be in and no need for ATC coordination. Near some of the busiest airports, etiquitte requires you try not to make a nuisance of yourself as a GA pilot to ATC.
