Great essay, really enjoyed it! In particular all the beautiful photos!

Typography is a bit of mystery to me. I can somehow recognize "bad" or "strange" fonts, but often I can't put my finger on it. I was immediately put off by the font of the essay, but I kept reading, and right in the middle came the big reveal (spoiler alert):

> (This essay is typeset in a strangely-spaced version of Century put together for Selectric Composer typewriters and recreated for on-screen use. If that didn’t bother you before, it will bother you through the rest of this article.)

Well played!
The flagged comment implied thinking vaccines work is a religious belief. It’s not.

Instead it’s based in observable evidence. I’m reasonably sure quantum mechanics, relativity and chemistry work because my cell phone relies on them, and there are reproducible scientific experiments that test those theories. The same is true of vaccines.

If we were well into Trump’s 25th term in office, and no other living being had seen a cell phone turn on, but some underground cult worshipped broken iPhones, then you could argue they had a religious belief in things like relativity and quantum mechanics.

That’s not the world we live in. Hell, Mitch McConnell is apparently old enough to remember that Polio vaccines work. (Which is why they let him vote against RFK.)

Your experience is bizzare. Was it Verizon (or AT&T/T-Mobile) and did you use a Cat-1bis/Cat-M/NB-IoT or higher class modem?

Normally US carriers require Firmware-Over-The-Air (FOTA) capability for the modem firmware. This is not the case for deployments outside of the United States, to my knowledge.

It would be interesting to hear more about your story!
> The reality is none of us can confidently declare things as unequivocally as you do.

You can absolutely confidently declare that Google has not been ordered to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. First, because that hasn't happened, and second, because the President doesn't have the authority to do that.

You're retreating from your claim. Google isn't "just following orders", they made a calculated decision.

The brakes on my VW lasted so long that I called all the shops I’d been to see if they had a record of me buying new pads. The last guy said they were aftermarket, so I don't know if there’s a shop I forgot or may have accidentally gotten new pads because someone read a work order wrong.

But they still last a long time because the DSGs of that era used engine braking and lots of gears to get better gas mileage than the manual version. Which was rare up to that point. Manual almost always got you better mileage than the automatic.

Engine braking saves you a ton because the brakes wear out faster the harder you brake. I don’t recall if it’s just the pressure or if it’s the heat.

Now he did tell me the aftermarket’s don’t have copper sinters in them, which is how he clocked them as replacements. Sometime after I bought my car they banned copper in brake pads due to metal pollution.
I assumed it was a typo of “ISO”.
Can confirm the same with a manual transmission'd vehicle.

About 140k miles in and I've replaced the pads+rotors once (but will replace next summer)

Yes because usually the other option is focus on those things you advocate for up front and then they go out of business before they get a chance to have the problems you're arguing against.

Corner 3s are shorter because the 3-point curve flattens to give enough space to move between it and the bounds. The action in the corner is also less dynamic because it's hard to drive to the basket from there, so either you shoot a 3 or pass to center which resets the play if you can't find someone driving up center court. Here's a diagram of a regulation NBA court showing the issue. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/Basketba...
EVs can be pretty bad for tire wear, not just due to vehicle weight, but the amount of torque available (and consistently available) that leaves most ICE vehicles in the dust.

Depends on driving style of course

Warm is not the same as comfortable. Listen, I'm from alaska and have several family members who routinely ride bicycles to work and around town in the winter. Except when it's storming. Except when their hip hurts. Except when it's breakup. Except when they need to get groceries or run an errand across town at the end of a workday. Except ad nauseam. You still have to own a car to make life in alaska livable in the winter, and snide remarks by able-bodied dipshits about just using the trike referenced above deserve derision.
speaking of shell pipelines, what is the "right" way of implementing pipes?

- Elixir: data |> process(12) puts data as the FIRST arg of process (before 12).

- Gleam: data |> process(12, _) puts data as the "hole" arg ("_") of process.

So far so good, but these approaches are mainly just more convenient function calls - i.e., they don't have fancy error checking in them. Then you have Haskell:

- Haskell: >>= "binds" actions to guarantee execution order (even for actions that don't depend on the previous action's output!). This is more fancy because it uses monads to encapsulate the computations at each step, and can shortcircuit on errors.
Powerful in how it puts it all into perspective is all I could say.
I find it very interesting that oversight of nuclear power and weapons was gutted without thought. That's a serious public interest story.

living in an old farm house, where rodents can be a problem, with feed and manure and old buildings providing , food and shelter for rats and mice, this year is exceptionaly cold,and now everything is frozen solid, so rodents can dig and tunnel, and all the water is frozen, so the rodents are having a hard time, invading looking for food and water and warmth, and I am doing my best to be inhospitable, rat, bat, splat.
Also the preditors are finding it easier to get them as rodents are forced to expose themselves, I even had a close encounter with an ermine, which is one tiny sleek, fancy killing machine, huge eyes for the size of the head.
Rats can not survive outside of areas without human development in areas with hard winter freezes, and face heavy predation by snakes further south, so are again limited to human and snake(other preditor) free areas, like islands.
Also rats are essentialy imune to poisons that were deadly to them, and are likely becoming imune to whatever is thrown at them now.
So numbers will be up, and the reasons for that will vary.
I dont like rats at all, and study them, as I hunt them, and other vermin.
NAL either but D. J. Bernstein [https://cr.yp.to/publicdomain.html] says that you can use a work under public domain in Germany same as any other country (e.g. copying), but there's a separate right to be credited for the work where applicable and protection for the author's reputation.

“The ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.”

I know your comment is sarcastic, but yes, of course.

I consider myself someone with "liberal values", but I don't understand why so many liberals like to pretend that the reality of economic incentives don't exist. Sure, it would be nice if we could all sing kumbaya together and build things, but the real world largely doesn't work that way. And it's not just "big developers" - most people would choose the more polluting energy source if it saved them 5 cents.

Other similar situation: so many people in "liberal cities" like to rail against "big evil developers" when it comes to housing, and as a result they have a giant housing shortage that is responsible for tons of social ills. In Austin we've built a shit ton of housing, especially rental, by letting developers build, and surprise surprise housing and rental costs in Austin have fallen a ton since their (admittedly ridiculous) peak.

There are types of wood that have antibacterial properties which make them more rot resistant.

New Zealand has Totara trees which are truly beautiful. Over 100 year old Totara fence posts are still on various farms and some research group was buying them and extracting something out of it as a trial acne treatment.

Plenty of other woods have rot resistant properties too. Puriri comes to mind, it used to be a common house pile, but wow is it horrible to cut.

Ionizers make small particles plate-out on surfaces instead of floating in the air. It makes the air itself cleaner to breathe etc, but I suppose it could make surfaces dirtier than they otherwise would be with these especially fine particles. Usually an air purifier with ionizer will have the ionization at the filter outlet, so only the very smallest particles are affected by this process.
> "Or a completely new form of currency (or many new forms) including bartering should be created. The entire financial and economic power structures that exist today should be made null and void."

That's what the billionaires want; "Peter Thiel stated in his book, Zero to One: “PayPal had a suitably grand mission — We wanted to create a new internet currency to replace the US dollar.” PayPal’s “co-founder” was Elon Musk, showing both parties aimed to replace the US dollar from a very early date in their careers. Marc Andreessen has also been instrumental in financing the rise of Bitcoin." "Peter Thiel has also been a central figure, stating in 2022 “Bitcoin is the most honest market in the world. It’s the most efficient market… It is telling us that the central banks are bankrupt, that we are at the end of the fiat money regime.”"

Tearing down the financial and economic power structures that exist today is what Musk and Thiel and Andreessen and Srinivasan and Ellison have been funding with this Trump administration; not even in the shadows. And replace it with dictatorships which they rule without regard to the residents opinions:

"“The basic idea of Patchwork is that, as the crappy governments we inherited from history are smashed, they should be replaced by a global spiderweb of tens, even hundreds, of thousands of sovereign and independent mini-countries, each governed by its own joint-stock corporation without regard to the residents’ opinions. If residents don’t like their government, they can and should move." (“[A patchwork] may also import menial laborers, as Dubai does today, but they are not to be confused with the actual residents.”)

We can’t transition everyone consumption to "clean energy" and make every consumption "green". What we have today is because coal and oil are cheap and efficient and we’ll need a substancial level of consumption reduction to remove those from our toolbox.

Dollars are great to incentive some consumption shift but the hard work is to be done in the consumption quantity.
AFAIK if you take open source software, provided without liability, and use it commercially then you take the liability for that product, since you can't shift it to the creator, since they're volunteering for free.

Since many thought experiments allow for objects to be composed of infinite one-dimensional points that somehow form higher-dimensional bodies, an infinite curvature could be interpreted as the apex being a single point supporting the point at the bottom of the ball. Both points should be perfectly aligned and in perfect equilibrium.

It has no reason to roll unless the placement was uneven, and if it was uneven, it would not break determinism.
Right. As much as I like nuclear, you could overbuild solar or wind by a factor of 3 in half the time and pay the whole project off before the nuclear project even gets finished.
Someone selling a convenience product does not necessarily mean it is not flawed.

No, because hand-checking was allowed back then. Smaller guards like Mark Price for example, would go off in some games but stronger, bigger defenders would ultimate shut them down because they could feel and follow their movements with their hands. Now, if you so much as think too much of a player, they call a foul - supposedly to help the offense and make the game more entertaining. The result? A watered-down product where any team can win on any given night, but no one cares because defense is nonexistent during the regular season.

The only basketball that really matters happens in the playoffs; the rest is irrelevant and says nothing about the true power rankings.
