Yes, but a lot of us already understood that America no longer has a functioning judicial branch so expect nothing less from our highest office. The judicial system in America is simply a stack of bribes and a lobbyist in a trench coat. More or less the only system of justice in America is whoever spends the most money wins. It's a system of pure evil run by money and the most corrupt attorneys, known as judges.

Our family court system is broken beyond repair and the simple fact that we lock people up based on their skin color should be proof enough to anybody that America is simply corrupt to the core and has been for a generation. The court system is broken and corruption is incentivized at every step of the way. Even a good judge would turn bad in the face of so much money.

At a certain point it's just beating a dead horse. A bit like screaming "Embrace Extend Extinguish" in every Microsoft thread, you're not really adding anything the discussion when you necro certain topics, and this one in particular has passed this threshold.

Great, so talk about the ways they're actually doing that not just getting mad about something that's no longer an issue.
It's not a regressive tax, and it primarily assists commuters and small businesses, and I've already explained how.
It's true they are not that much heavier in terms of pure numbers. But road wear is a proportional to the difference in axle weight to the fourth power.
This is just not true, sorry.

EDIT: Okay, to expand, it's true that speed limits in progressive cities have been falling for a while. This is meant reduce the number of pedestrain fatalities and overall make the cities safer and more pleasant.

HOWEVER, this does not mean that traveling by car is worse. These, in combination with anti-congestion legislation, make driving faster. The thing about driving is that broad roads and clear visibility encourage bad behavior, like speeding and tailgating. This actually increases traffic. It's counter-productive, but reducing speed can improve flow.
Mobile is still nearly everything. Google continues to develop and improve Android in substantial ways. Android is also counted on by numerous third-party OEMs.

Ah these... There was a "secret" sushi place like this near Irvine in OC (maybe still exists?). We'd call it informally "sushi nazi". The kind of place with only a few seats and as soon as it'd be full, there'd be a sign "we're closed".

Chef tolerated me because I asked for "kujira" (whale: which obviously they won't serve in California but in Japan there are places where the "whales only hunted for scientific experiment we promise" actually end up as sushi...).

Now seriously: unless you're in japan, TFA is all bullshit. The only one that's not all bullshit is that, if you're in Japan, you eat the nigiri sushi with your hands.

Enjoy your sushis however you want as long as you don't disrespect other customers. Meanwhile chefs living thanks to my money can thank me for being in their restaurant.
It's not as impressive if I have a 5-letter .net I found last year, is it?
No, it was funded by Google.

Advertisers paid money for Google for totally unrelated services. Google invested that money in a number of ways. One of them was to build this very profitable non-advertising business. The advertisers didn't fund that business any more than the advertisers funded US treasuries, or the dozens of startups that Google has invested in as a VC.
"Corporations themselves cannot donate directly to federal candidates, but they can make donations through corporate PACs. The owners of companies and their employees also can make individual donations. For donations that exceed $200, campaigns are generally required to ask for information about the industry in which the contributor works, and they are required to disclose that information if provided.

In the 2019-20 Congressional funding cycle, Sanders received more money from people employed in the field classified by OpenSecrets as "pharmaceuticals/health products" ($1.4 million) than any other member of Congress. He also received roughly $400,000 from people employed in "pharmaceutical manufacturing."

This does not mean he received nearly $2 million from "the pharmaceutical industry," — it means the money was from people employed, in any capacity, in that field."
So pharmaceutical companies cannot donate money directly to candidates, so they fact check it as false, saying it was the employees donating the money and not Pfizer directly, but acknowledging he did receive $1,400,000 from people that work in pharmaceuticals/health products, and $400,000 from people working in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Are we to presume that there is no strings attached when Bernie Sanders is receiving the money? Or are we supposed to offer the benefit of the doubt you wouldn't offer to a Republican politician who said that he didn't receive 1.4 million dollars from the NRA, but employees of the NRA, and a further $400,000 from people in Firearm Manufacturing
No sane healthcare system that puts ordinary citizens first should ever have this distinction.
I am from Ukraine, and we have KGB archives opened for a while now.

It is a massive amount of information and it is studied rigorously by a lot of researchers. Unfortunately, most of the information I consumed are in Ukrainian. For example there is a book in Ukrainian released just few years ago from one of those [0]. But basically any researcher can get access to the whole archive and domestic ones wrote a lot of material. I am sure that it will get more popular on the west as well, while people will get understanding of the systems at work.

As far as I know Timothy Snyder is well known for his researches into Russia in his books such as [1]. However I've read only excerpts from it as we have better material in Ukrainian.

West generally doesn't understand Russia, it overestimates its military power and underestimates its propaganda influence. It also completely misunderstands its culture. Also west have a history to dismiss the voices of countries who do know Russia very well. But it is changing bit by bit.

Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI into Operating Systems
A Case for Lua Performance
The tragedy is in the flawed thinking this type of article promotes to the layperson.

A professional has a duty of care to diagnose correctly, delusion by its very definition is a false belief that is believed to be true. The professional may lose their license if they do not diagnose correctly.

The layperson will read this and say, global catastrophe, fear of poisoning, persecution etc, and discount/nullify these entire categories regardless of whether they may be true or false given the circumstances. They choose to ignore it, and worse through nullification compulse others towards that false belief.

Now when it does happen to be true because hey, WW2 happened, and hey Hitler's rise to power followed milestones which Trump has been following, or better yet the collapse of the currency which is a known fact to happen and based in science and history when money-printing gets out of control... these fears are warranted, and should be listened to and inspire action to correct, but these type of articles condition people to discount and nullify such things and by extension ensuring those things happen when the circumstances are true because they have blinded themselves.

That's how evil works in people. It is a self-blinding to the consequences of destructive acts, to the point where those acts are repeated until they are forcefully stopped.

A fear of poisoning may be quite relevant in cases of new technology where we have no frame of reference for adequate safety because its new, like those who are part of the vaccine injured.

I think its quite important for every one today to objectively revisit their sentiment and beliefs, following Descartes Method.

Many of the things believed today by many are quite delusional, and mass delusion does happen in systems where the people have been exposed to torture whether they know it or not.

The delusional don't base their measure in objective external reality.

Robert Lifton, Robert Cialdini, Joost Meerloo, are well established authors who touch on the elements of torture, structure, and clustering.

If you've been significantly downvoted for a personal opinion, technically you've been exposed to torture.

Few in fact realize this though because its indirect, and most people won't follow the indirections back. It takes advantage of a strategy which Nazi's, and Mao used, but also the Stasi perfected, and really everyone uses today in sensitive positions.

The separation of objectionable concerns.

As for why we see this in so many online platforms. Its 5GW, and the platform maintainers are complicit, either through a corruption by dependency scheme, or just improper priorities believing its better to do or provide something than nothing even if they can't solve the problem. There is a financial interest towards this which drives this forward.

Either way, action or inaction is a choice they made. Regardless of initial hope, destructive outcomes (negligence) and intent (choice to act or not) turn this into malice/malevolence. Even if they have isolated themselves so they don't know willfully, they are still accountable for their actions and choices.
Yes, however there is little urban planning for whole metro, and the administrative level we are talking about here is the intra-muros one. When the mayor decided to reduce the speed on the outer loop, she didn't notify nor discussed with the rest of the metro, for instance. And the measures discussed in the article are specific to Paris.

I’m not unaware that piracy was part of their strategy for market penetration, and I guess it’s now a case of “we have the market cornered, let’s monetise”.

I live in a house next to a moderately busy street with car traffic and also some public transport (bus lines). I noticed that the windows (and frames) facing the street get dirty much faster than the windows facing the garden. The dirt on the street side is also pretty gross, sticky and hard to clean. It's just an anecdotal observation, but I could not come up with a better explanation so far.
From https://personal.math.ubc.ca/~CLP/about/ :

> For various reasons we have christened these notes “CLP” - none of those reasons can be found [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLP)

Presumably it's an inside joke or something.
For me, I guess it was the experience with the public transport, the cleanliness of the city, the way everything was built to interact with your phone seamlessly and automatically once you have the local apps(at the cost of privacy, I am fully aware), and the dazzling look of it all. Everything is new and shiny and feel safe. And not just the sterile kind of clean, but one that has a vibrant life under it.

Yes, the english localization is trash. But I mean, I am in China, I am happy enough they even have some english available. I speak some other Asian languages and not sure if it was obvious, but the US also have trash translation to those languages here too.

Maybe that was the biggest difference. I can read a bit of chinese so my experience was more "the way it was meant to be" I guess? I assume it can disappoint if you expect just an upscaled Western experience there. China is big enough they don't need to cater to rich foreigners. I knew the feeling well enough when I first came to the US so I am not surprised. But maybe it is a novel experience to Westerners.
EVs have very low brake wear because you simply aren’t using the friction brakes at all most of the time.

A lot of EVs even have smart “blended” brake pedals that preferentially apply regen braking when you press the pedal. Only in particularly hard stops will the friction brakes get used.

An easy way to test/observe this is simply to check for wear on the brake pads of EVs compared to combustion vehicles of similar mileage.

Tires, on the other hand, do tend to wear out quicker in an EV. Partly due to weight and also due to higher performance/acceleration compared to combustion models.
I seem to recall whether 0xE1 in codepage 437 is supposed to be a Greek lowercase beta (β) or a German sharp s (ẞ) is intentionally a bit fuzzy, so its perhaps they intended it to be both a delta and a dingbat.

I'm not really sure if a house fits it that much, wouldn't a generic "house" symbol have a chimney (although obviously, it's hard to fit one in with such a low resolution).
That’s certainly not being posited in this particular thread.

On deleting chats, I accidentally discovered that AI Studio creates a 'Google AI Studio' folder on your Google Drive with all the links to chats. If you delete the 'link' from there, it will disappear in AI Studio...interesting UX :-)
> Which wasn't a problem when everybody could afford to drive before Europe ruined everything.

It was still a problem, because a lot of those people died or had reduced quality of life. The reality is driving is very dangerous. In the US, it's the primary cause of death for many age groups.

And the pollution kills. And it kills pedestrians. And car-dependence is a lot like heroin. You depend on cars, so you build things further, so you must drive more. It's a self-eating beast.

Once cars started becoming less polluting and less deadly, i.e. _less cost was externalized_, they got more expensive.

If you truly think Europe is "ruined" because morbidly-obese people aren't puttering around in stinky automobiles for 2-3 hours a day, then I don't know what to tell you. To me, it's nice to have beautiful cities were people can walk. It's nice to go to work and not have a sudden urge to kill yourself.

These people can always move to the Land of the Free, of course. Suburban concrete hellscape after suburban concrete hellscape. I'm referring to the US, of course. The land of varicose veins, fatty liver disease, suicide and smog. Ah, beautiful.

There are many more gasoline cars than diesel cars in the European Union. The latter are used more though and heavy vehicles are also diesel so there is a higher consumption of diesel than gasoline.

For me at least, Bsky acted that initially but it tapered off after a certain threshold of training. After that it was pretty solid.

For Xitter it didn’t matter how much I trained it, eventually it’d insert something I didn’t want to see and even the slightest hint of engagement would push my feed that direction. This could happen even after multiple weeks of training.

I would consider that evil, much as I want the current administration and it's allies to have some healthy respect (and thus restraint) for the power of the people.

This is not only a reasonable question, but it is a good one, too. Unfortunately, the line beforehand:

So far, Bluesky hasn't been inserting alt-right nutjobs into my feed like Twitter has.

Bluesky seems to focus on curating your own feed, to the point where mass blocklists will block hundreds or thousands of accounts, and not every blocklist is reliable. The "block first, ask questions later" approach is very freeing and I've been practicing it on social media long before it gained traction on Bluesky.

I expect the platform will be very painful for people who believe everyone should be subjected to their opinion (the people who will cry censorship because Reddit shadow-banned them). Good riddance, I'd say; they can be happy on Twitter with the rest of their kind.

On average, my experience has been a lot better. I'm guessing that's mostly because I had to fight and subdue Twitter to exclusively show me content from the people I follow, combined with social media's general attraction to alt-right nutjobs (and of course, Twitter's owner being an alt-right nutjob doesn't help either).
This is a stupid idea because you’d have to make fasteners and high voltage interfaces that can survive an order of magnitude more cycles than they have to for a fixed pack. It would also be significantly more difficult to use the pack as a stressed member of the car structure. It’s better to just have less batteries and use them more efficiently through weight savings.

Thank you for the background explanation and the link. KIT is actually my Alma Mater (cs).
You are right the overlap is not that large. I was thinking about the WissZeitVG, Exzellenzstrategie, Tenure-Track-Program.
As for the Länder, I personally think the transition between the Abitur and university could benefit from stronger collaboration between the involved ministries. For example by better aligning the educational goals of high school to the demands of universities and by integrating education research into schools. By this I mean the continuous application of the results of educational research to schools and the constant monitoring of schools.
Good point.

I'm quite sure it was brake dust because during COVID 19 lockdowns everything was the same (heating etc) but streets were void of cars.

Then I've read some scientific article about brake with pics and it looked exactly as what I got inside my house.

I can't conclude 100% it was it (or just it), but it seems to be the most probable cause along tires.

There are plenty of hotel groups big enough for that, but their properties are geographically distributed and I can't imagine they'd benefit from running fibre for their own multi-site network. Better to just connect each property to a local ISP like everyone else.

Maybe there are some exceptions. Disney World? MGM Resorts in Las Vegas?

It is also amazing and sad to see positive comments on such technological developments in China where similar developments in e.g. the USA would be lambasted on this very same site: Flying taxi drones? They'll fall out of the sky on the heads of the elderly and Musk should stay away from this. Tech and integration? Big brother getting even bigger and no I don't want Musk to be part of this. Is it just that the neighbour's grass is always greener or is there some deeper reason for the oikophobia that has become so popular, especially in 'progressive' circles?

I also notice you're mentioning SF without mentioning that this city - like so many others - has been driven into the ground by decades of mismanagement by so-called "democrats". California is on a road to nowhere while building high-speed trains to nowhere, the streets in SF only get cleaned up when the leader of the Chinese Communist party comes to visit, the place is a dump and people are leaving it in droves. It wasn't when I was there for the first time in 1979 - people on roller skates, some left-over hippies, disco really made it - but the last time I visited - 2003, for the IETF conference - the signs were already clearly visible and I was warned that the hostel I stayed in in the Tenderloin district was 'not in a safe area' and that I should not walk around the city (which I did anyway, I'm stubborn).

California should kick the "democrats" to the curb for a while, try to repair the damage they did to the place and its reputation and maybe, just maybe the "Golden State" can once again become the place of dreams it once used to be. This is not so much an endorsement of Republicans but simply a statement of fact, a single-party system nearly always leads to decline. To slightly paraphrase MC5: Kick Out The Dems! [1]
