Actually my takeaway from the Snowden leaks was that the government tried really hard to stay within the confines of the law, even if they wildly stretched the legal theory to get there.

Doesn’t justify what they were doing, or make it legal, but it’s an important distinction when trying to reason about government surveillance programs.
But so do lat long ranges.
Yep, exactly this. There's been a boom in Montessori-labeled schools, but there are comparatively few real ones. Partly, it's very hard to find real Montessori teachers, so the ones that aren't accredited don't have many, if any, real Montessori-trained teachers, and it's not something you can just wing.

I ran the hiring processes for a Montessori school my wife and I helped run, and the difference in even Montessori-trained and very experienced teachers was stunning. If you want the real experience, you really have to find one that lives and breathes the principles.
I got stuck at ”after invoking the spirit of their dead chief, they later annotated me the king of their village”. What kind of interviewer doesn’t ask a follow-up question on that anecdote?
> Just... regulate the fuckers.

That's true, however we must also keep in mind that Uber (and alikes) happened because regular institutions failed to do this for some reason or another. I won't try to speculate why, because I have no idea (and of course it looks obvious in the hindsight).

There was a demand for safer and more reliable taxis. There was not enough supply for that. Government haven't paid enough attention to the sector. So, naturally, someone came and used that whole situation to provide supply for this demand.

Of course it's not this simple, and there were a lot of other things going on. But if we narrow the scope down to just this, then we can see that the core problem here wasn't Uber, it was that that governments were too slow to react in time.

Yeah its funny, there was a brief period in history where artists and labels made money on recordings and performances were a sideline but before that and arguably now too the only money to be made is in touring and merchandise for everyone except the 0.1%.

I'd also add "Surgeon's hat":

Coding using only exacting, mechanical transformations that can be reasoned to be safe. Used when coding in poorly understood, mission-critical code bases. You do the bare minimum change to get the result, using verifiably safe operations.
If going for minimalism, why have any framework/runner at all? Use the raw bash scripts.

if [ ! -f /tmp/foo ]; then $maybe_dryrun touch /tmp/foo; fi

There will be a bit of boilerplate, but it would be much easier to understand and debug.

(I'd say different things for a more complex system which can, for example, track the files created and show if any of them were unexpectedly modified. But your system does not seem to implement any of it, it's just a overcomplicated shell runner)
In theory when you live within walking distance to a grocery store it becomes much easier to do many smaller trips, rather than a once weekly "shopping trip". Your right though this article doesn't really talk about that.

We live in a city down the street from a grocery store. We sort of treat the store as an extended pantry. When we need to make something, we just go down to the store and get the stuff and make it. Door to door time to the store is 2-3 minutes, the lines are usually never long because it's a smaller store but they have about as much staff as a larger one.

Whenever we need to get a little more we just bring one of the carts from the store up to our apartment via the elevator and bring it back.

As for the rest of the things. Again if you can walk or take good transit there is no need to drive.
Quantum mechanics tells us that the qubit (coin) can exist in any linear superposition of heads and tails. To express this you write a|heads> + b|tails> the only constraint is that a^2 + b^2 must equal 1. Now why would that be the constraint? It is because a^2 and b^2 are the probabilities of measuring heads and tails respectively.

In this example the coin is put into the state where an and b equal 1/sqrt(2) to give an equal probability of each outcome. So there is exactly one state associated with the coin. Now this state does lead to two possible outcomes but the underlying state (that can not be directly observed) is exactly one thing.
The shafts are so enormous and heavy that they must be driven by an auxiliary motor when not in use in order to prevent them from permanently sagging.
After almost ten days of deafening silence and broken Internet access, I guess we have to paraphrase Adam Martinetti, the Cloudflare Product Manager from 2022 and conclude that in 2025:

Cloudflare DOES want to be in the business of saying one browser is more legitimate than another.
> The position of the DMA maintainer seems also to make sense for me, to keep code maintainable over decades it must remain in a nice and tidy state.

Perhaps so, but that discussion was two or three years ago. Stalling other contributors' work now is counterproductive, especially for changes that do not touch files maintained by them.

This does not justify any brigading behavior, though.
Complete waste of time. At this point I am not sure if its Europe not wanting to understand, or the lack of abilityto understand.
The Triangle of Talent
author of the post here, yeah this is a really good point. I think we're going to see more people investing in building OAuth compatible apps and more thorough APIs to support agent use cases. but of course, not every site is going to do so, so agents will in many cases just be doing screenscraping effectively. but I think overtime, users will prefer using applications that make it easier and more secure for agents to interact with them.

I was an early engineer at Plaid and I think it's an interesting parallel, financial data aggregators used to use more of a screenscraping model of integration but over the past 5+ years, it's moved almost fully to OAuth integrations. would expect the adoption curve here to be much steeper than that, banks are notoriously slow so would expect tech companies to move even more quickly towards OAuth and APIs for agents.

another dimension of this, is that it's quite easy to block ai agents screenscraping, we're able to identify with almost 100% accuracy open ai's operator, anthropic's computer use api, browswerbase, etc. so some sites might choose to block agents from screenscraping and require the API path.

all of this is still early too, so excited to see how things develop!
Right, its safer to have private capital police state.
Merkel shut down cold the entire German nuclear power industry, and did not even allow it to do it by attrition; perfectly good plants were shut down.

This move advanced zero climate change mitigation goals, and strongly advanced Russia's agenda of making Germany dependent on RU energy supply. In fact, switching from nuclear to NatGas significantly undermines climate goals.

Keeping the nuclear baseline load and letting it wane by attrition while allowing a pipeline is one thing. Maximizing Germany's dependence on RU is another.
Zip codes are great for anything with delivery logistics.

Anything else is a loose correlation at best, that will likely change over time.

It’s refreshing to have a president that won’t standby while American companies are routinely harassed by Europeon bureaucrats.

They’re going to find that Europe is much more dependent on access to US markets than vice versa. I would imagine top folks at LVMH and VW have to recognize the perilous course their governments have taken.

It is still a regular language. I do not introduce references.

You are right in sense the `sed` is far superior editor. But here I see some advantages:
- the current implementation is super small; it is direct translation to an automaton
- the complex patterns may be compiled in a more efficient way using deterministic transducer. I can't defend this claim now but I have some evidences
- there are some tricks you can do using 'generative' part of it, e.g. and you even can find levenshtein distance of 1 between two strings just by generating substitutions/insertions/deletions and implement a simple spell checker.

Overall, I think you have a good point. Maybe it is just marginal improvement (if any). It was more comfortable to write in this style instead of group usage. I used it for some time and found it handy (especially as extended `tr`).
It would be really fun to see a Nanite demo where the Reference PoV and and Viewer PoV were independent.

That way I could see exactly which meshes are being rendered (w.r.t to the reference), and then rotate around the scene (as a viewer) to get a better idea of where mesh cutting/optimizing is happening.

Right now, all I see from these demos are highly performant scenes with rabbits in them. I want to peek behind the veil and see how deep the rabbithole actually goes!
I feel Apple is one of the few companies that has the market power to say, Fuck you, we will just not sell or offer any services in your market, and I suspect that would be enough for voters to knock some sense into their government.

Unfortunately now Ubers are exactly the same experience but more expensive/unpredictable. It’s only nicer if you spend more on black and such, which makes it easily double a standard cab fare.

The problem is that there are none.

The correct assessment of all these political parties is that by default, they all cannot be trusted. Especially both labour and the conservatives.

Yes. The second problem is that the United Kingdom is incapable to changing itself historically and is fundamentally destined to never be open to change.

In concept that's a good idea, but the fingerprinting potential is VAST: user-agent, TLS, JavaScript quirks, CSS, Canvas, proprietary features like Chrome's Topics, maybe WebGL, WebUSB, etc. In practice it's very hard to do.
I also don't like this ruling from a moral point of view. I know others may disagree with me, because we obviously all value scientific research here and a lot of us don't really like social media in general, but the fact that you want to research something and that the results of that research will have value to others doesn't entitle you to someone else's services.

I might encourage X to volunteer this data, to the extent that things like privacy can be safe-guarded etc. But force them to with the strong arm of the law? No thanks. There's no rights basis here. We could benefit from the results of the research, for sure, but I don't think anyone has a right to the data other than those who produced it (individual users with respects to their personal data + X itself).
This is really cool (and timely for me). Lovely work with the UX. No accounts, no nonsense. Kudos.
Also i want to add to digg a little bit deeper about the myth about the person herself:

While her teaching & educational approach is (in my opinion) superior to others, she for herself was also highly critized for some "specific behaviours/traits": the German Wikipedia article is telling more about these:

Nontheless: My kids like it and i perceive them as very happy, esp. there is no homework and they also have very good kitchen/cantine for the kids.

These chargers don't necessarily require subsidies to exist. The subsidies are to jump start and accelerate their development along strategic corridors.

But yes, gasoline production and distribution gets a lot of subsidies.

https://www.rd.usda.gov/hbiip

Do roads require subsidies to exist? Won't the free market just build all the roads people demand? Do you support the corruption of the government taking MY money at GUNPOINT to build YOUR roads? Or maybe there's a point in building out infrastructure that isn't directly and immediately profitable.
Its more of my own ignorance and lack of experience to be able to appreciate that kind of lifestyle because we have a two story home with lots of space, two car garage, and three cars. There is a lot of freedom but lack of walkability. We have to drive to walk somewhere like an outdoor style mall. Or to plaza's to doctor's, optometrist, Target, Walmart, Aldi's, etc
The cheap $20 versions of those things have awful wheels and are pretty much unusable anywhere that has weather or uneven pavement. I had one and never used it. But then I started using a $500 baby stroller. Of course at first I only did it including a baby, but once the baby got too big for the stroller I kept using the stroller for groceries because it worked well. Eventually I replaced the baby stroller with a "garden wagon". https://www.google.com/search?q=garden+wagon

It’s pretty clear.

There were a few shifts that happened:

1. Musk bought twitter

2. Musk, despite being the wealthiest person on earth and running companies that are genuinely fascinating, has nonetheless—against overwhelming odds—been considered a loser.

3. Because of (2) and his fragile ego (part of the reason he was widely considered a loser in the pre-Musk dominant circles) he went hard to the right. Petty grievances, anti-free speech, “burn it down”, etc.

4. Twitter made changes under Musk that compensated large accounts based on the number of views or engagements.

Effectively a rev share for ad spend

5. Because Musk can massively amplify content and has a fragile ego, aligning yourself with Musk’s pet issues directly affects income for influencers. Accounts in the other direction can be demonetized and deprioritized on feeds.

This has led to large accounts, in the run up to the election, being very vocally trump even when they’ve had publicly leftist leanings in the past. It wasn’t a shift in policy positions. It was a shift to ragebait and memes that were more likely to get Elon’s attention and retweets.

So it is both pretty clear and a result of active decisions in one specific direction. We don’t need a multi-year quintuple blind study by esteemed Ivy League research fellows to do the basic observation and deduction of the situation.
I've always liked the idea of combining distance criteria, especially when something is good for public transit to work, but not good in terms of walkability to anything I care about. (Some people walk for fun, I always seem to need an errand.)

I recall that Walkscore used to have something like this, and then it went away, and then it showed up on some other housing site... I was always surprised the type of feature didn't get more popular.

In terms of new features, there is a tricky problem of how to define things like "near a grocery store, the large kind, not that one tiny mini-mart". This brings in several overlapping challenges: How to get business locations and categorize them, how to allow the user to tweak that categorization or result, and how to efficiently turn a union of those the set of valid destinations into a combined region.
I assume this sag is something that would only become relevant over a fairly long period of time? Otherwise how were the devices constructed originally, I doubt they were spinning instantly.
I dunno, given all the constraints it actually seems to be specified in a pretty reasonable way to work in an approachable manner even (or especially) if you had never read a spec in your life.
> Why do you think those items are labeled?

Because labeling cost is close to zero, and cost of drive-by lawsuit is much higher, and the prop 65 is written in a way that practically invites drive-by lawsuits.

> But what would you know about this since you're incapable of reading laws.

That you for going ah hominem so quickly, otherwise people may think you had a valid argument. Unlike you, I lived in California and witnessed the consequences of it - e.g. pervasive prop 65 warnings on practically every building open to the public and most of the goods that theoretically could contain even one molecule of any substance that could theoretically be linked to any harm. I.e. pretty much all of them. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_California_Proposition_65... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_California_Proposition_65...

Yes, it is always fun to read things set in a future time from the author's perspective long after the future date is past. I remember plenty of SF growing up in the 1970s about the "future world" of the 1990s or even the year 2000. But KiY with its "future date" in the 1920s is the earliest I've encountered.

> For example, James Hansen predicted the west side highway in NY would be underwater by 2008

This is a good example of how the fossil fuel companies create the impression of uncertainty by finding any possible cause for doubt, exaggerating it, and then claiming it discredits entire careers or even the field. I’ve heard that claim from many people over the years but when you look at it you realize how weak it is. That was not in a peer-reviewed publican, or even a single claim:

In 1988, he was speaking casually with a reporter who asked him to speculate about what would happen 40 years later if CO2 doubled. The reporter put that anecdote in the book.

In 2001, the reporter gave an interview to Salon and briefly mentioned the conversation but misremembered the timing and left out the most important claim about doubling CO2 entirely.

https://skepticalscience.com/Examining-Hansens-prediction-ab...

This seems like an excellent distraction from the fact that the actual scientific consensus has been consistent since the 1980s and the publications like IPCC forecasts have proven quite accurate.

The reason, of course, is that scientists have already been doing what you’re asking for. Those papers and reports represent enormous amounts of time spent creating and critically reviewing experiments, models, data, and thinking of new ways to cross check them. It would a career-making move to find a significant flaw, and the idea that there’s some perfectly hermetic conspiracy is laughable if you’ve ever been around a group of scientists.

Now, contrast that with the deniers who promote those talking points. They get lavish funding from a range of industries (some got their start on behalf of the tobacco companies) and they’ve played games which are familiar to anyone who has dealt with creationists where they toss out various theories and move on to new ones as the old ones are disproven. While scientists have been converging on the truth from a variety of independent sources, the deniers have been all over the map and wrong in many different directions. If there are concerns about openness and reputation, the double standard is quite striking.
I doubt that the average quantum physicist would have a better time with the jargon of category theory than the programmer. If you want to say something to people, you need to speak their language.
