The difference is that SUVs and Pickups are literally everywhere. They're the new default. It's all manufacturers sell, it's all consumers buy. It's a massive problem.

Sports cars, by comparison, are very rare. Not many people buy them, and even then they're often not a daily driver.
The problem is high pop growth. If they regulated the growth to a manageable level, the problem would be manageable. As it is they are importing other countries' housing problems. We saw that in the Us in the 1920s where we had slums and boarding houses. At least in the US we have land. Places like the UK and Japan have limited land. Canada, Brazil, Argentine, Libya have lots of land, the UK does not.
Just a note. Ukranian manufacturing has really stepped up. They are making 80% of the ammunition now.

They also have a well trained army still alive while the Russians have only conscripts with weeks of training.

Russia manufacturing is diminishing daily.

I'm not sure Russia will have any bullets left by the end of the year. And north Korean reinforcements were such a bust, they were all slaughtered.

The main worry is if the US starts buying Russian oil, but that won't be an issue if Russia can't move anything.
You know how long and expensive it is to build and operate a nuclear powerplant?

UK House ownership rates are pretty high, but they went down right after the global financial crisis, presumably because the banks had tighter lending rules: https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/214874/economics/why-its-...

House prices are also way up. Lots of people who own them really like this, but it makes it harder to become a home owner in the first place.
That's an interesting take that I've never heard before. Why do you feel this is the case?
Still way better than Microsoft’s spyware and adware sadly.
ARP is for the LAN devices. L2 switches don't rely on ARP to build up their forwarding tables, they can just inspect the source MAC of every Ethernet frame they receive, and correlate it with the port they receive it on. Frames with unknown destination MACs are broadcast, but that stops as soon as every device in the LAN has sent at least one frame.

Ultimately it comes down to trust. And the current US administration is doing its best to destroy trust built up over the last 80 years.
Always thought that the parking meters should be changed out for chargers that act as parking meters too. City would get more money and the infrastructure would be there to help with downtown charging. Duel use meters would still allow ICE to use the them too.

As EVs become more popular, big name stores should start adding a few chargers to their parking lots.

Apartment complexes could add them to entice maximum capacity too.
Well, “common knowledge” around here tends to be wrong, constantly.

This sounds like a basic STT/Transcription app. What makes it a "Healthcare Virtual Assistant"? Presumably it's been trained on a medical dictionary to recognize vocabulary from this domain? Dragon has been making transcription apps since 1997, originally based on Hidden Markov Models, I assume since updated to use transformers.

OTOH that could also be an advantage. For at least a year or so after they change the name, all info you can find about how to do something with it when you search with the new name is likely to be current. Instead of 7 year old guides that are completely out of date and don’t work with current versions.
DuckDB is specialized in efficient storage and fast query for analytics (OLAP), using a columnar storage (in contrast to row storage, used by usual RDBMSes doing OLTP processing). It's nothing new, it's been there for couple decades already. But this "distributed" DuckDB can indeed be beneficial for training.
There is a lot of planning going on now in Europe, both on international (EU, UK) and national level, that would've been politically impossible just a few months ago.

I didn't miss the point. This waste could have been avoided, is the thing, and anyone who cared about running and knew how to run an organization well, might have. Such a person might even have guessed there were excellent reasons that the executive has not, previously, been run by one single person issuing surprising and very specific decrees that reach down to the lowest-level workers, across large swaths of it at once, and not done that.

> I don't have a strong opinion on the matter, but if the way we discover that government offices were sitting vacant for years (i.e. big waste) is by having people return to them and be unproductive for a few days (i.e. small waste), then the trade will be worth it.

This doesn't save anything. Now utilities and maintenance costs are higher. It's more spending. Leasing out or selling the buildings would have cut waste.

> I doubt anyone wants employees to be sitting in offices that aren't functional.

I don't know how many times and ways people involved in the admin have to say that their goal is to wreck the federal bureaucracy before people believe them.
iPad (A16)
I've read that point, and in my view it contains an obligation to call for a UN Security Council meeting and to seek a certain action by it.

The GP said:

>> The memorandum also said they would provide assistance

The memorandum does not contain an obligation to "provide assistance". "Providing assistance" and "seeking UNSC action" are very different things.

>> they are not keeping that promise.

They are not keeping promise to "provide assistance" because they have never made that promise.

Well, Apple employees can’t work remotely :) But if you do, and you like working outside your house, the cheapest 10+-inch M-series model you can get is the answer. With Sidecar, it’s at minimum a wireless external display everywhere you go.

At this new model’s cost, it’s hard to recommend. But it does make last year’s M2 models (and older M1 models) more sensible for this purpose.
I owned multiple iPads and never found a compelling use case for them. I don't know why I keep buying them but they have been great computers for my parents so it's not like I buy to shelf them.

Are there any use cases (apart from drawing maybe. I can't draw a stick figure if my life depended on it so that's not for me) for developers?
I had been hoping that apple would one day produce an M-series chip powered version of the 12 inch retina macbook air. They discontinued those in 2017 and I have one of the last ones that were sold but the battery is very dead and it has stability issues now. I may consider this product if the keyboard is solid and the screen doesn't shake when typing.

Yep - Trump's actions are going to weaken the US's position on the world stage by pushing everyone else to provide for themselves what they had previously got from the US (security, advanced compute, etc).

Trump appears to only think in short term transactional way - no long term strategy.
There was no nuclear disaster at Fukushima. There was a tsunami and there was a destruction of a nuclear power plant. There were a couple cancers and an undetectable release of tritiated water into the Pacific Freaking Ocean.
In Japan numbers have meaning. Haiku have a 5-7-5 pattern - which gives you 17 as a sum. And saying the number 17 in Japanese sounds like youth and vitality. Might not be so odd after all.
It increases it by 30 min every 3 hours, rounding down. My family used to do 7 hours once or twice a year, roughly 500km, so an EV would have added an additional hour. But we also typically stopped for roughly 30 min for lunch, so it would have only added 30 min to our half-country journey. Add an extra 30 min to the journey if we had a cheap EV with sub 160 km range, or an extra 15m to each stop for a top-up for comfort. This of course depends on charging infrastructure, but I'm betting it's developed enough for most trips at this point.

This was pretty rare for us, though we had family that did 12 hours trips in 2 segments with the same frequency. They already stopped for lunch, so they could in theory have gotten away with only charging then, not adding any time to their trip, but more reasonably it would add an extra 30 min to each leg.

Interested to know how often this stuff happens in the EU.
I think my next phone will be a linux phone, and since I already run Alpine on my desktop there could be advantages to running it (or a distro based on it) on my phone. It would be an interesting project at least.

I have always heard of different conclusions from too many choices. It was from a study known as the "Jam Experiment." [0] They found that in a grocery store that if customers had six choices, they bought more jam than if there were 14 choices.

A minor concern compared to pollution from other energy sources, including "renewable" ones once you include all materials needed.
I bought the iPad Pro in 2020 (13”, last on the A series of chips) and the screen is so much nicer than on any iPad I’ve ever used before. I was planning to buy a new one this year if there’s a notable release but OK with waiting another year.

That said, with the Air having M3 and being available in 13”, I’ll have to take a long hard look at whether that screen is worth the extra money to me. I’d imagine that’ll remain one of the differentiators between the Pro and Air.

I do get an iPad about every 5 years and I don’t use a computer at home so splurging on the high end isn’t a huge concern for me. So not sure if I’ll be willing to give up the really nice screen.
Yes, this also gets me mad, but the strategy works I guess? I recently bought an iPad for my wife and I ended up getting an Air (M2) instead of the basic one just because she wanted to draw and sadly the iPad doesn't support a Apple Pencil with pressure sensitivity. But also the Air doesn't have the features that I wanted (120Hz display), but the Pro is too expensive, so I ended up compromising.
What an insulting and willfully obtuse answer, that does not address any of these perfectly reasonable questions. When you leave your house on vacation, do you rip the cords out of the outlets and pile them on the floor, and dismount all the TVs?
Right, but it's not apples to apples. And what about all those people driving ICE sedans?
Sure there's a lot of truth to that, but you used to be able to know what mattered to the US. It wasn't erratic. The magnetic poles of the US just flipped.
I liked my teaching assignments, because I could talk to a lot of users/students. Talking to users is always the best.

But I didn't have to worry about writing min. 2 papers a year. I only did some nice conferences. And I could easily work on the side.
> "Tiranny" in the intented context ("tiranny of the majority") is close to the actual meaning of the term, of "unfair power" (that of the usurper: illegitimate, hence dubious).

I mean it closer to 'unjust rule'. For example, Jim Crow laws were an example of tyranny of the majority, and that power was not sized illegitimately. If the majority really wanted to restore something like that, there isn't any system in place that would stop them, not ranked choice voting, nothing - we have to rely on good education so they wouldn't want to do that, but we would need a clean slate to do that as well.

To many people are poorly educated, and raise their kids to be skeptical of education. That's such an immense problem that I'm not sure the US can really recover.

If we were starting from a clean slate, where everyone was well educated, it should work in theory, but even so I think we can have a much better system to any form of democracy we have now.
This person is almost certainly firmly and vocally in the camp of “The iPad hardware is wasted because of the software.”

Then they extrapolate from this, “If you buy an iPad Pro you are just doing it to flex.”
You forgot vaccines, education, NATO, porn, the courts, Canada, women, and renewable energy.

My biggest mystery is how these people have the energy to hate so many things so deeply. It sounds exhausting.

It may be because I have read this like 20 years ago but I remember something in a sense of accomplishment from Leto II when he was killed. Like: there is no way of stopping it now - the spread of humanity in the universe.

So according to me first book was a bit dark:
- Paul accomplishing his goal but failing ultimatively - per what you are saying - starting the jihad
- In the second he is killed but we have his children - so again a bit dark but with hope.
- In the third we have - making a new empire and change from desert to a green planet - so again hope for something better coming even if it is a but slow (god-emperor living for hundreds of years)
- Then we have really two strange books but last one, at least last written by Herbert, ends with one character asking other one if the purpose of all those events is understood, and the second chacter realizes this purpose with kind of awe.

So to me in overall Dune was a positive tale. according to you it is just grim sentence: do not fall for the words of false prophet.
Imho if this would be just it, would be little sad.

But maybe I should read them again maybe after so many years, the reception will be different.
You are right that most international agreements are essentially unenforceable, especially with a world hegemony like the USA.

That being said, the US still has not broken any agreement, binding or non-binding. So your point is somewhat beside the point.
You don't even need lobbies. Anyone who owns a house isn't bothered by this, unless they are particularly fair-minded. It only affects people who don't own their own home, which is a much smaller voting group.

The U.S. declined to provide a security "guarantee" because that would have amounted to a backdoor accession to NATO, and the U.S. could not grant that unilaterally. (An example of the U.S. honoring a prior commitment, by the way.) A "guarantee" would have required the U.S. to commit its military forces to the battlefield if Ukraine was invaded.

The U.S. instead provided a security "assurance" which was understood to mean a level of support short of U.S. troops on the ground. And in fact that is what the U.S. has been providing: intelligence and material, but no U.S. forces.

In other words, the level of support has been commensurate with the agreement signed. Until today, apparently.

Getting into government to make it worse to show that government is bad has been a pillar of the Republican party since Reagan. They just used to pretend about it.
Since DOGE has wrecked any semblance of data security in the US government, we can assume the codes are also in Moscow by now.
The government can, and has, taken a vested interest in parenting when parents fail.

Car seats? Seat belts? Curfews? Hospital reporting laws? Child safety standards? Mandatory smoke detectors? Curriculum standards? Mandatory education?

All not necessary if parents just did their jobs, right?

On that note, the US government states in their own papers in the SCOTUS case that parental control filtering is so niche, that it is at the level of complete irrelevancy in fulfilling the government’s interest in preventing children from viewing porn. One SCOTUS judge with children has already said that in her experience, it’s impossibly complex even for a devoted parent.

Tech can’t point to parental controls when they failed miserably in their implementation.

To clarify, the upholding of the security assurance is still left up to the discretion of nations in the agreement, based on how important non-proliferation of nuclear weapons is to them. It seems that recently, nuclear proliferation is no longer a concern for the US, hence they no longer enforce this agreement, which is their right, for better or worse.

I see my colleagues using iPads at work when on Zoom calls as a whiteboard. It's pretty cool when done effectively. I'd like to practice that skill.

I bring my iPad to the coffee shop and leave my laptop at home when all I want to do is send emails and read. I don't think I could do "heavy" work on it, but it's great for quick stuff. The fact that it has 5g means I don't mess around with finding wifi. I wouldn't pay extra for the 5g (tethering works perfectly), but I got a few free unlimited data lines back when various US cell companies were fighting to churn customers.

The remastered versions may have just replaced those dependencies with other new ones that similarly can't be publicly released. Game middleware and sdks tend to be very aggressively NDAd.
