I for one do not care about Mars, the science, all his expensive toys. I'm here on earth trying to make ends meat. What has his rocket done for me?

Who's praising the engineers who are grinding their souls to accomplish? It's not Musk accomplishing this. He just stuck up human with money. Like all.

And as an environmentalist in my spare time, why are we trying to get to some red rock of a planet than fixing the climate where we all live?

He's not contributing anything to the real matter yet we are all happy to bitch about climate change and then dish out praise when we allow someone to go and frack for oil. [0][1]

Sorry if it upsets you that I don't want to be under servitude of some egotistical nit. And, as well also sorry that yourself are too stuck in the fumes of fallacy of one who's causing more issues for this planet for his future for one you yourself will never reach.

here is a raku regex (see https://docs.raku.org/language/regexes#Unicode_properties)

"ǅ" ~~ /<:Lt>/ #｢ǅ｣ (matches)
"ǅ" ~~ /<:Lu>/ #Nil (doesn't match)

Lt = Titlecase_Letter
Lu = Uppercase_Letter

raku regex are a step improvement over the original perl5 regex which is used in most current languages (both regex engines were designed by Larry Wall - raku is perl6 with a new name)

deep support for Unicode and Graphemes makes raku almost unique in its support for Unicode properties within this new regex 2.0 (I hear that Swift is also strong in this area)

here is a great blog series by Paweł bbkr Pabian that explains all these unicode things in a very unserstandable way https://dev.to/bbkr/utf-8-regular-expressions-20h0
> Harris has talked about fighting inflation many, many times.

There was this Biden admin. push to not call things a "recession" due to technicalities that probably pissed people off? "Inflation" means 'higher prices' and "recession" means 'economy things suck right now'.
The problem with rm is that it defaults to "you asked for it, you got it" mode and will delete things not intended without warning. If dsw (or related standard utility that defaults the other way) was there you could hand that to users and be a lot less likely to have accidental deletions.
This seems to be missing the iota subscript (aka ypogegrammeni) which is the source of the weirdness of what happens when casing, e.g., ῳ. (This is another diacritical that modern Greek has abandoned since its impact on pronunciation was already being lost in the classical era (when I took Attic Greek in college, pronunciation wasn’t a critical thing, but we treated all the accents as simply a stress accent, ignored iota subscript and pronounced the rough breathing as h.)

In upper case, ῳ can be written as ῼ, Ω with the subscript or ΩΙ with the distinction between the first two often made as a matter of font design (in fact the appearance of ῼ differs depending on whether it’s in the edit box or in text on this site.

You are wrong and that's why you are misunderstood.
I would suggest just saying "increase in money supply" if you mean increase of money supply instead of using a term that means "a continuing rise in the general price level". That will make people understand what you mean.
in insurance we use older statistical methods that are easily interpretable, because we are required to have rates approved by departments of insurance

Have you listened to his interviews? I don’t think you have.

By the way, I’m saying has bought it to some extent — just not fully.

Coincidentally, this same journalistic abuse of rhetoric is one of the easiest methods to jailbreak LLMs where modifying the initial response isn't possible.

Python has no threads or processes hard limit, and the pure Python code in between calls into C extensions is irrelevant because you would not apply multithreading to it. Even if you did, the optimal number of threads would vary based on workload and compute. No idea where you got 10.
If you were buying a beefy AI gpu machine today would you get? I’m in the market and because I’m quite Mac based was considering a MacBook Pro M4 Max but they are painfully expensive. So then I was considering the Mac mini as “chuck stuff at this box” but keep my existing Mac laptop. But if I’m just chucking stuff at the box it doesn’t really need to be a Mac at all…
If you go to space, 90% of the cost is the rocket (depending on your accounting). If rockets can be made reusable, then you can drop costs by 90%, to first order. Cheaper rockets means cheaper satellites for internet and sensors and stuff.
Lmao how? To where?
How did Ashli Babbitt die? She was shot in the head, on January 6th, at point blank range, by the secret service, because she was trying to break through a barrier that was protecting the vice president of the United States, the man whose job it was to certify the election. Why was she there? Because from the top of the Republican party down, they spread a lie that the election was stolen because they devoid of morals and they knew their followers would believe them. The concerns about democracy are very real.

I assumed a large portion of YouTube/ Google management had been in a plane crash as that seemed the only plausible explanation for it to stay up as long and have as many viewers as it did. It really was stunning.
DSi XL (LL) is actually my favorite way to play DS games because the screen is huge (and IPS!) but is in the native DS resolution of 256×192 pixels. DS games on 3DS-derivatives look like blurry garbage because they get scaled up to 320×240px for display on the 3DS's 800×240px (400×240px per eye) panel.
What these stories always miss is a control. Yea, people are judging her as being incompetent but they'll do that to anyone who seems incompetent. Maybe being a woman was part of it, or maybe having the subtle mannerisms and body language of a writing professor was part of it. They can't verbalize the "looks out of place" bit so they'll just latch onto the "looks like a woman" instead. I've worked with tradesmen and despite being a man, received similar treatment. I just didn't look competent. For example, I was about to move a truck to somewhere else on site and somebody offered to do it for me because it was hard to drive. In another case, somebody was surprised that I could weld. Another guy who understood put it as "you aren't as green as you are cabbage-looking".

That legs turn to jelly thing is internal. Some people are just less confident than others. Some can fake or really feel confidence even when they're inexperienced while some are the opposite. How can a professor not understand this when they surely all go through similar situations teaching a new class where the students are judging them on their competence?
That "some" probably won't include most Trump supporters.
There's a tipping point coming. Once 9 minute charging works, charging stations work like gas stations, not parking lots. Nobody stays long. It makes sense for legacy gas stations to rip out the fuel pumps and tanks, and put in fast chargers.
How many palestinians died during the Trump administration? More importantly, what did Biden do that didn't amount to full Israeli support? Like, you are again arguing about more abstract stuff, whereas no matter what Biden or Trump say, the reality is that Israel has been left to do whatever it wants, with full american material, for a year now. That's almost unprecedented and that's my entire point.

And even if we go by what they say instead of what they do and did, Trump at least keeps hammering the point that the war will need to stop as soon as possible. The Biden administration has openly supported the Israeli escalation in Lebanon very recently. And has shown absolutely no care for putting an end to this (other countries like France for example, supported Israel in Gaza but openly condemned what happened in Lebanon).

Again, Trump is a lot of things, but he does not seem to like war. Biden on the other hand seems rather unbothered, and tries to pretend to care while providing almost the entirety of the munitions that Israel has been using to genocide Gaza and invade Lebanon. But at least he doesn't recognize more Israeli annexations I guess (not that he ever condemned the settlements or did anything against the current settlements either, but hey he's just the president, not someone with power to do something about it right?).

So to see the mental gymnastics that Democrats do to openly support Biden while also sweeping under the rug the dire consequences of his foreign policy behind 'both sides would do it' is extremely off-putting. The side that's doing it right now is the side that they are actively openly supporting! I guess I am biased as I have close friends that had to flee from their homes and had their entire family properties obliterated in Gaza but still.

Ps: Netanyahu reacted to Biden's victory in a rather similar way, so what would that mean ?
It wasn't really rising in 2016. The flat wage growth lasted past 2020, with a relatively recent blip, but it has not meaningfully risen to outpace the stagnation that existed for decades.

If wages increased with productivity increases we'd be in better shape overall as a society, but here we are.

Dems are not in the venues where people are talking about these issues. I see tons of right wing youtubers, tiktokers, podcasts, and there is just far less dems in these environments or willing to go to these places. You need more Bernie types (not necessarily his politics exactly) but the willingness to go these places repeatedly and talk about ideas.
He is technically convicted by a jury. It will be interesting to see how they get around that, it doesn't go away just because he was elected president, and he can't pardon himself from a state charge.
Had a single email been altered, you can be sure that the DNC would have been shouting it from the rooftops. Being able to label the emails as 'altered' would have made for fantastic water-muddying, which is a classic defensive tactic in such a situation. Any political operative would be expected to do the same. The fact that you are (as I am) unaware of any such claim, in an episode which was at the top of the news cycle for months, would seem to be a pretty clear indicator that the emails were legit.
"Fighting for a free and open internet", and got paid by Google.

Well, it's really hard.
Wow, your use of `with` is both terrifying and super fresh. I love/hate it.
I think lots of voters want "let's deport all illegal immigrants!"

I think they would be shocked if they understood what kind of operation it would take to deport 15 million and what the side effects would be. For comparison, the entire (huge) prison population is 1.9 million.

I think some terrible things will happen to immigrants (and people suspected of being immigrants), but this scale doesn't seem possible and will be fought against by powerful interests (businesses employing them, etc).
You misinterpreted the massive disagreement of the population (20M people) with an affirmation of neutrality. One can hope the dems will not misinterpret it (as they often do, unfortunately, and they already started on twitter and the mainstream media). Hopefully they can recognize and acknowledge that a large portion of the left disagrees with their policies and start listening to their base, otherwise they will keep losing more votes every 4 year.
We run our nation on oil. Our nation is built on good a relationship with Israel. Nothing about that will change until our priorities as a country change, dem or repb.
So I can use the word 'dog' to mean a cat? Nonsense. The purpose of words is to communicate meaning. Therefore we must agree on what that meaning is beforehand in order to communicate effectively.
Well off people are pulling ladder behind them, a tale as old as mass migration become possible.
I’m not sure what’s behind this, could be endorphins, adrenaline, or something else entirely-- but I wonder if it’s related to that “runner’s high”. The first time I ran a 20-miler on a Sunday, about 3 hours of steady, low-key cardio, I went through an entire box of pasta afterwards and still felt like I needed more food right after. Now, after doing it 20+ times, I don’t even feel extra hunger kick in after the workout.

On days when I wake up and do something intense, like 4x1K repeats or 2x2-mile threshold sets, I feel electric afterwards, but at at the same time thinking about food makes me slightly nauseous. I’m not even close to hungry for hours, which throws off my eating for the rest of the day.

But then there’s carryover calorie deficit. Let's say the next day I wake up for an easy day with a 5-8 miler, I’m sold on breakfast right afterwards, and I can usually eat any amount that's in front of me.
But the economy is pretty great: 4.1% unemployment - I'm old enough to remember when 5% was considered full employment, inflation rate back down close to pre-covid levels, manufacturing up, etc. EXCEPT there's one big problem with our economy: Housing. There's not enough of it so prices for housing are very high relative to incomes. The solution: Build a lot more houses. Harris mentioned this, though I don't recall a lot of details for how they were going to get there. If a lot of people didn't have to pay more than a third, sometimes over half of their income for housing the inflation wouldn't have been nearly as painful.
If you think that's a boondoggle, wait until you find out about the SLS!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_1#Launches

Customers: DARPA, DARPA, DOD/NASA, mass simulator (instead of the intended payload after the first three launches), Malaysia (the intended payload of the fourth flight).

"pre-arranged commitments by NASA to purchase several operational flights" is a subsidy, as were the milestone payments along the way.

I'm a huge SpaceX fan, but let's not pretend they could've done this alone. They very nearly went bankrupt on Falcon 1, per Musk - https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/29/elon-musk-9-years-ago-spacex... - and had they needed to self-fund those launches/payloads entirely they would not have survived. It's a beautiful example of how powerful public/private partnerships can be.
Yes, the profit margin for cloud providers is very real—and quite costly.

I think one point that’s often overlooked is the knowledge gap between the engineers at cloud providers (such as systems, platform, or site reliability engineers) and those that an individual company, even a large one, is able to hire.

This gap is a key reason why some companies are willing—or even forced—to pay the premium.

If average or mediocre management skills and a moderately complex tech stack are sufficient, then on-premise can still be the most cost-effective choice today.
Alaska might even repeal it's RCV. Mostly due to voter confusion blaming it for the reason Dems had some minor successes after it was adopted
> After all, for how massive the UN is and its mandate, I don't think the UNRWA or ill equipped peacekeeping forces avoiding entering a full blown engagement justifies the extraordinary claim they're actually a terrorist organization.

They're either a terrorist organization or useless. Either way, the need to be disbanded and investigated. They should not be able to hide in the USA under the guise of diplomatic immunity. They are not a state.

> Is there a case that would have materially affected the outcome of the election that wasn't dismissed or lost?

No but that never happened with Kennedy/Nixon either. American history is weird. No court is going to touch an election. Why would they. It's national suicide.
The cybercab was a bit of a joke, no? Was more hype than a product.

And we probably shouldn't be cheering on billionaires going all in on political campaigns (not that he's the first)
The "we've given this code to a third party to host and run" part can be a 100% effective stop to any Apple-internal shenanigans. It depends entirely on what the third party is legally obligated to do for them. (Or more specifically, what they're legally obligated to not do for them.)

A simple example of the sort of legal agreement I'm talking about, is a trust. A trust isn't just a legal entity that takes custody of some assets and doles them out to you on a set schedule; it's more specifically a legal entity established by legal contract, and executed by some particular law firm acting as its custodian, that obligates that law firm as executor to provide only a certain "API" for the contract's subjects/beneficiaries to interact with/manage those assets — a more restrictive one than they would have otherwise had a legal right to.

With trusts, this is done because that restrictive API (the "you can't withdraw the assets all at once" part especially) is what makes the trust a trust, legally; and therefore what makes the legal (mostly tax-related) benefits of trusts apply, instead of the trust just being a regular holding company.

But you don't need any particular legal impetus in order to create this kind of "hold onto it and don't listen to me if I ask for it back" contract. You can just... write a contract that has terms like that; and then ask a law firm to execute that contract for you.

Insofar as Apple have engaged with some law firm to in turn engage with a hosting company; where the hosting company has obligations to the law firm to provide a secure environment for the law firm to deploy software images, and to report accurate trusted-compute metrics to the law firm; and where the law firm is legally obligated to get any image-updates Apple hands over to them independently audited, and only accept "justifiable" changes (per some predefined contractual definition of "justifiable") — then I would say that this is a trustworthy arrangement. Just like a trust is a trust-worthy arrangement.
Congrats on the launch!

I’m curious to hear more about your pivot from AI workflow builder to document parsing. I can see correlations there, but that original idea seems like a much larger opportunity than parsing PDFs to tables in what is an already very crowded space. What verticals did you find have this problem specifically that gave you enough conviction to pivot?
There is speculation that the polytonic accents in Greek (which were a late addition to the alphabet, incidentally), originally were tone markers. ΄ represented a rising tone, ` a falling tone and ῀ a rising then falling tone.

Absolutely! You are not alone. We have elected a convict as a president. The person who instigated a mob in attacking the Capital. The person who misled his base about 2020 election. Got impeached... the Trump saga goes on.
Lithium deposits are common -- Nevada has significant ones too. The question is if the lithium is concentrated enough to make extracting it financially viable.
There isn't a way to fix it and they actually aren't responsible. Taking fake responsibility would imply fault and suggest that voters ought to switch sides to the party which actually mismanaged the covid response which is absolutely nonsensical.
Exactly its all messaging and if the messaging is not getting through you need to go where voters are discussing these things (podcasts, youtube shows, tikTok, etc). And they needed to start doing it 2 years ago not 4 months ago.
Rockets that are easily reusable make spaceflight a lot more logistically feasible, which should translate to a massive drop in costs.

We are going to see massively increased space activity of all sorts. It is almost impossible to predict all consequences thereof.
Yes, working on a startup without pay under a student visa (such as F-1) can be legally problematic. While student visas allow some employment (like CPT or OPT for F-1 students), “self-employment” is generally restricted, especially if it involves day-to-day work or responsibilities without proper authorization. Founders may violate visa terms if their role in the startup constitutes “unauthorized employment,” even if unpaid.

For H-1B or O-1 visa applicants, founders need to prove an employer-employee relationship with their startup and show funding or sufficient structure, which complicates the path from student visas.

Sources:
• USCIS Policy Manual on Employment for F-1 Students
• 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(f)
I didn't know about any of these incidents, but I could never listen to the podcast because they all sounded like a bunch of douchebags to me.

Maybe sometimes there's an evolutionary advantage in prejudice?
Thank you for the actually plausible explanation.

It does not even matter than there was no rigging, no illegals voting, no shenanigans. The truth has never been an effective counter to rhetoric, I get that. But it's an entirely plausible explanation for what a supporter would think.

But after yesterday, maybe we will all agree together than the elections are rigged? ;-). You guys can't put that genie back in the bottle. Everyone thinks it's totally cool until the other side uses it right back.
If we want to establish long term bases on the Moon or Mars then yes, you need not only to send crew and habitation modules but ongoing supplies and equipment.

Other use cases include launching and maintaining satellite constellations (Starling / Starshield), and launching singular large payloads like space telescopes.

Even for smaller payloads, having both the first and second stages be reusable will reduce launch costs.
The underlying subtext to the majority of comments here is that the voters are stupid. Its a pretty simple-minded analysis actually.
Price decreases significantly when you can reuse.
This rocket is the same size as the ones that brought the Apollo missions to the moon, but will cost significantly less because they don't have to build one every time they launch it.
>> And this was accompanied by skyrocketing divorce rates: married couples with children made up 40 per cent of households in 1970, but only a quarter in 1990.

The proportion of households with children would be interesting to know: the married couples with children could have diminished in proportion because boomers had aged out of living with their parents and had set up their own households without children (yet).
An operating system is indeed a moat because a user can't easily switch operating systems due to the ecosystem it extends. That's not a UX thing.
Gas stations have a lot of infrastructure for catching oil run off, they could put in superchargers, but it would be a horrible use of land. The superchargers can literally go anywhere with power access since EVs don't leak anything other than possibly some coolant. If gas stations become obsolete, they will be subject to rehabilitation before they used for charging.
I think to me it's the combination of the "voter turnout stuff" and his personality cult.
The SNES and the Gamecube did have the Super Game Boy and Game Boy Player respectively though, but I'd probably count that as sideward compatibility rather than backward compatibility.
