The analogy only falls apart if you are applying a double standard.

You might say "Certain kinds of felonies don't indicate a person is unfit to wield a weapon/the military, and certain kinds do." I'm a supporter of the 2A and I'd listen to that. As long as you intend to apply that across the population.

But if you're saying "A bunch of people don't like this particular conviction against this particular person, so we should have a separate standard for him," well that not how the rule of law works.
Process a UPU PDF with all available airmail destinations into a map that could either show the routing a package will take or the availability for airmail for a given route.

Practically, airmail is just thrown in a sack under a plane by bored airport workers, it often ends up in the wrong country, where a bored airport worker will place it in another sack, and so on until it gets to its destination. There's little elegance to it. Nothing fancy enough to parse a 200 page PDF over.
You can remove carbon from the atmosphere for $1000 per ton. That would be a reasonable emission tax.
The basal metabolic rate doesn't matter at all.

You want the Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) which is all the energy you use in a day. Tracking your calories and changes to your bodyweight lets you do that. (You'll want to use weekly averages of your bodyweight to smooth out fluctuations that don't reflect changes in tissue.)

Yes strength training with sufficient protein is a signal to your body to maintain or even build muscle mass, so every pound you lose will shift to mostly or entirely fat.

Weather is, at least in my part of the world, pretty unpredictable.

I’ve left for outdoor activities in clear skies and sun, and within 30 minutes been standing in a thunderstorm, being pelted with hail, which was strong enough a tornado formed a few KMs away.

On the flip side, they can forecast thunderstorms every night for a week and it never rains.

I would have to carry rain gear everywhere, and it’s easier to just get wet. I am waterproof, after all.
Thankyou for a clear explanation of how this sort of thing can happen. I've seen similar issues in profit-making parts of businesses, so I imagine it can only be worse in areas seen as cost centres

Yep. You can also do most of it or even all of it with a number of other tools as well.

IMHO the main sell is that you can do "all of the above" regardless of what domains you are working with without having to switch tools or negotiate different formats, etc.

So a systems engineer can model, simulate, and build a test framework for a project for all the bits (including the inside of the hardware and the physical world around it) without changing tools.
Have you never heard of sanctions before ?

These are legal mechanisms that dictate the behaviour of companies and are routinely imposed even when the company has no presence in the country. It is extremely common in the financial sectors e.g. AML/KYC.

Right now the EU for example has sanctions against Russia and Chinese entities.
Simone Giertz talks about invention
I'm inherently mistrustful of arguments for "state's rights" that don't explicitly state what rights are being advocated for, that the existence of a Federal government is standing in the way of.

It's usually something gross and regressive, like wanting to mandate Christian doctrine as law, or to reintroduce racial segregation or to send all the gays to conversion therapy. Otherwise it would be something normal they could just, you know, pass a law about. Because states do have rights, they just don't have absolute sovereignty.
Oddly enough, the information is just as available to businesses today yet it is less available to individuals. The digital databases have existed for decades. Certainly longer than the Internet as a publicly accessible network. Yet the phone books, that were accessible to anyone, no longer exist. (I also believe that cost of phone books were included in the price of telephone service, which meant that they were "free" for most households.)

(And, for the sake of accuracy, the yellow pages were a business directory that companies paid for higher profile ads. The white pages were the directory of individuals.)
Not sure, but as you can see from the pinned post of the account you linked, Elon even livestreams himself driving.

Could it be related to not wanting to give too up to date information that could be business related? I am just guessing, but maybe there is a fear that his flights could be used to derive information about Tesla/X/SpaceX incidents etc?
I guess you could extrapolate this in _some_ scenarios as: not using AI-generated code could get you fired. The conversation about how people are doing their work 90% faster feels exaggerated, but 20-30%? I can definitely vouch for that. Some employers will certainly want you to deliver results faster, especially if they are seeing results with your colleagues.

Buckle up, LLMs are here to stay and will likely continue improving for a while before they plateau.
Fat itself is a nutrient [1], providing one of the most important bodily requirements of energy. The body requires other nutrients as well, and has methods of storing them. Fasting does not mean going without them. The nutrients of most interest to fasting are probably essential amino acids which can not be synthesized and ionic electrolytes.

Free protein and amino acids only last a couple days in the body before being used for muscle or being irreversibly converted to fat. When necessary, the body can break down muscle to obtain essential amino acids.

The relevant electrolytes the body needs are sodium, potassium, and magnesium, which it maintains fairly deep stores of in the bones.

City directories often carried more information than that, such as people's occupations, etc.

And, newspapers of all sizes carried personal information in blurbs, such as "John Smith is in town for 3 days, visiting with relatives here."

However, when the Sexual Revolution kicked in, it became customary for women in the 1970s and later to conceal their identities in White Pages listings, and request listings of simply "J. Smith", if they were listed at all. Because otherwise, the White Pages were a good "shopping list" for obscene/prank phone callers.

Remember the PHP 4 era. The average developer is incapable of implementing everything from scratch securely. Django and similar big frameworks perform a vital public service, by providing sensible defaults to people who need them.

Year free off my notes app for whoever can help me identify flows
I recently launched the 'second brain' web app I have been working on for the last year:

https://app.hyperspaces.live/

It ties all your notes to a real timeline. Such that you can have a scrollable of your time, represented as 'life events'

You can write about your life events, and you can set their locations, timings, and even connect calendar events to them.

I want someone to help me with the closed demo, identifying any flows and potential improvements. In exchange I'm happy to provide them with 1 year worth of timeline for free (normally the trial is 2 months).

No platform lock-in, full data control, and full privacy.

Do ligatures in fonts count? I once modified a monospace font with a ligature that squished 4 spaces down into 3. It was purely for a technical argument of spaces vs tabs to demonstrate that you could indeed have adjustable indent even when using spaces. The fun part was seeing IntelliJ place 4 dots representing spaces even spread over the three space gap :)

If you have a RISC-V machine with an operating system and a C compiler then it will already include all the extensions from RVA20 (older boards such as VisionFive 2, Milk-V Pioneer, LicheePi 4A, Milk-V Duo, HiFive Premier), or RVA22 (the very newest boards such as LicheePi 3A, Milk-V Jupiter, DC-Roma II, BananaPi BPI-F3) ... and in 2 or 3 years boards meeting this RVA23 spec.

The only things that have mix-and-match extensions are embedded devices where you choose exactly what chip you buy (or build), you know what extensions it has, and you compile for that set of extensions. There is no confusion because everything is under the control of one company.

Machines intended to run software distributed in binary form follow the RVA specs which are few in number, only added to every few years, and each one includes everything in all the previous ones.

There is again no confusion -- or at least no more than in any other ecosystem that is not permanently frozen.

RVA23 is pretty much equivalent to ARMv9 or the latest x86_64 spec with a variable length version of AVX-512.

I highly recommend js13k (https://js13kgames.com), an annual game jam where your entire game must fit in 13 kilobytes. The tight size limit forces you to get creative with optimization - think procedural generation, custom minimal engines, and code golf techniques that actually matter. While the games might be "useless" in a practical sense, you'll learn more about low-level JavaScript optimization than from most serious projects, all while being part of an incredibly supportive community that loves sharing tricks and tips.

I would expect anyone caring enough to compare CD quality 44khz and 192khz/24bits to be using lossless or uncompressed audio, otherwise what's the point? Pretty much all lossy codecs will put a low-pass filter and trow out any sound above 16khz~20khz anyway, and some will even resample to 48khz, no matter what lol.

Honestly, from the outdoorsy type of hiking apparel I've invested in during the past few years, most of my casual clothing is fairly waterproof, and I don't need to worry much about incidental rain on me.

However, if I'm dressed for church, with a button-down cotton shirt, slacks, and a matching hat, well I'd better take measures to protect that.

It's really weird in my urban environment, where it is simply assumed that everyone owns a private vehicle, parks in the parking lot, and drives around in a climate-controlled, dry, private bubble. Nobody in their right mind walks into church off the streets!

When I grew up in CA, my grandparents had a home designed by an architect from the Midwest, and it showed. One of its features was a "Mud Room" on the side: a private entrance for family and close friends only, where folks could don/doff their raincoats, snow gear, muddy boots and other stuff, leave it in there, and enter the house without tracking it all inside. Buildings in Phoenix simply don't have those amenities. They don't even have hatracks or coatracks here: you just leave it in your car!

Once Google came out there was no going back to Hotbot, AltaVista, etc.

Entanglement is like splitting a coin in half, so you have a tails and a head half. Then you put one in your left pocket and give the other to a friend.

Musk and Zuckerberg have both allowed vile content to thrive and spread on their platforms under the guise of allowing free speech.

Banning people from sharing links to public tracking data demonstrates that their commitment to speech is extremely shallow. This suggests that despite their claims, supporting free speech was never a priority on their platforms, and was simply cover for allowing content which helped metrics or aligned with their political goals.
I think of this whenever I think of expenses vs. impact of SF's budget for looking after the homeless.

This has been down for multiple hours now. During this time we have migrated off of fly to coolify/digitalocean.

This is the second time this happened in recent months. The last straw was one of our customers reaching out and letting us know our site was down. We had paid for two machines with fly to have redundancy.

Pretty sad as apart from the outages we really liked fly. Hopefully they fix things and learn from this experience.
in Italy gypsies are associated with travellers that live in makeshift trailer parks. they dont have access to stable temporary jobs and the stereotype is that they steal to make a living.
