They mention it only offhand in one sentence, but my understanding of most of the slowness of the US rail network is that it's mostly passenger trains having to let long freight trains pass that eats tons of time.

Nominally, passenger trains have priority and freight trains have to pull into a siding to let them pass, but freight companies made the freight trains longer than the available sidings and so it's the passenger train that gives way in practice most of the time.

Doesn't really matter how fast the train is, or how efficiently it's boarded if it spends excessive amounts of time sitting still waiting for freight to pass.
Not this again. Watson didn't "steal" Franklin's data despite the myth. Raymond Gosling, a grad student co-mentored by Wilkins and Franklin, took the famous Photo 51 as part of his graduate research. Wilkins then shared the data with Watson and Crick. At worst, you can argue that Wilkins may not have consulted with Franklin before deciding to share it, but if anyone can claim to have their data "stolen" (and I don't think they really can), it would be Gosling, which unlike the others in this story, few people have heard of.
They're going to end up with some sort of corvee forced labour scheme enforced by ICE, the logical conclusion of "other people should go work in the factories".
Interesting. More details about that status can be found here https://immigrationequality.org/asylum/asylum-manual/immigra...

I've heard the legal status mentioned by an online-person-who-should-know-better. I'll let them know.
Ah, totally get it—that’s frustrating. GitLab support is on our roadmap, so hopefully we can help you out soon.

In the meantime, good luck with that hairy review—hope it goes smoothly! If you're open to it, I'd love to reach out directly once GitLab support is ready.

D has not been a good choice for small business either.
I think most people have a very confused understanding of money(currency) and value. Workers produce value, not money. Workers get a cut of that value, which is converted to money. To get by comfortably in the US, a first world developed economy, you need to be producing a lot of value. Everything is made to accommodate high value workers.

Producing t-shirts, window fans, or toilet brushes is not high value work. The slice of value available to convert to currency for the worker is very tiny. So you end up having to play games with the economy which inevitably will blow up in someone's face. $60 t-shirts so we can pretend that the value in a t-shirt is much more than it is, so we artificially make t-shirt manufacturing competitive with, say, automobile manufacturing.
Hey, this looks really cool! Love the simplicity of the idea — getting straight into real conversations without the hassle of scheduling sounds like a great experience, especially for people tired of the usual language apps.

A few thoughts/questions that came to mind:

Why would a native speaker join? Are you thinking of adding some kind of reward system, points, or even social credit to keep it engaging for both sides?

One idea could be to match users who are both learning each other’s native languages. That way, they can help one another — kind of like a built-in buddy system, which might also encourage a stronger community feel.

Have you considered adding interest-based tags or conversation topics to help break the ice or keep chats flowing?

How are you thinking about handling bad actors or uncomfortable interactions, especially since it’s video-first?

Congrats on the early traction — 77 emails is a solid start! Would love to see how this evolves. Let us know when the MVP is live, happy to test it out!
>such as the United Kingdom, continue to exist

They were really close to not existing. France stopped existing, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Yugoslavia, Greece, all stopped existing. China, Thailand, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Myanmar, New Guinea, Guam, East Timor, and Nauru all stopped existing.
So you do think that Texas Christian University should lose all federal funding until it proportionally represents all Americans' political beliefs?

Part of my AliExpress purchasing workflow is checking reviews for the item I'm about to buy on Amazon, as they're (usually) higher quality than the "just received item, 5 stars" reviews on AliExpress.
They did not have "every right to remove him." As the article you linked says, Abrego Garcia was specifically granted a withholding of removal order.
Your link says the opposite of what you claim.

> Although the asylum claim proved to be time-barred—aliens are required to bring such claims within a year of entering the country—in October 2019 Judge Jones did grant his request for “withholding of removal” based on his “well-founded” fear of persecution by Barrio 18. The government did not appeal, so Jones’s ruling is now final.

> The removal being in error does not make him innocent.

Innocent is the default. That's a fundamental part of how our legal system works. The government must prove you guilty.

I suspect you're thinking of a double (floating point). A long long is only a 64 bit integer.

Medicine: first, do no harm.

Why not use MRIs since they skip the problem entirely?

Don’t say cost or supply. That’s just because CT scans, misguidedly, have more demand. More demand for MRIs would unlock savings from scale.
That IS what Biden was trying to do though with the CHIPS Incentive Act. He was trying to onshore production of semiconductors in a partnership with TSMC. Didn't do him any favors, and Harris lost the state of Arizona anyway. Americans had the choice between a party that was serious about trying to onshore some manufacturing and a party that wasn't, and it made the wrong choice because vibes, basically.
How "subtle and insidious" is it really?
I'd say it is shifting the blame of personal responsability to a website. Me and some of my friends use(d) 4chan and we never fell into the pipeline. To the contrary there is a strong left-wing camarederie. And I'd wager that we recognize subtle right-wing views more easily. One doesn't learn about these views by looking at a twitter screenshot but by engaging them.

We should stop treating right-wing ideology as a mind-parasite. And if we do it anyways, we should accept that some people want to get "infected".
Might have something to do with legacy WSUS code still being part of the stack, which relies on IIS.
The components of a strategic manufactured product can be as simple as an injection molded switch, a LiION battery, capacitors, copper wire, etc., so the notion of bringing only "strategic items" back is as much a myth as the idea its mostly coming back to the USA. The goal here is to diversify the supply chain globally so its not concentrated in China. Internally this is sold as bringing MFG back to the USA (will happen to a noticeable degree), but that's not the actual plan.
I feel like it's intuitive for me to think about this stuff as just a second type system rather than to think about the details of how the compiler works or how it'll function at runtime. A given value exists in a kind of superposition, and I pick the form I want it to collapse into (value, reference, mutable reference, etc) based on the tradeoffs I need at that moment. I don't know exactly why this is helpful, or if it's helpful (or even coherent) to anyone but me. It might also be damning me to some conceptual outer darkness where I'll hear the pounding of accursed drums and the wailing of hideous flutes forevermore.
The tariffs that were announced during the campaign - the same way Ross Perot did - and the reasoning was to bring us manufacturing back to the US and reduce the tax burden on US citizens? Such as writing off car payments if the car is American?

People wigged out over non-reciprocal tariffs, where we tariff at 50% what they charge the US. People wigged out at 10℅ flat rate tariffs. "Heard island penguins get charged 10%!)

I really have to wonder how important this Chinese junk is. They make so much junk for the US, that the EU, including Von der Lyon, had to make a plan to deal with Chinese companies wanting to, and I quote here, "dump" all their exports on to the EU market.

The EU is very protectionist over their countries' economic outputs and manufacturing. But if the US does that...
Postiz Introduces MCPs
Hi Everyone!

I just released MCP Server to Postiz, you can schedule all your social media posts!

Just a quick recap:

Postiz is a social media scheduling tool supporting 18 social media channels:

Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, X, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, YouTube, Pinterest, Dribbble, Slack, Discord, Warpcast, Lemmy, Telegram and Nostr.

Being able to use everything from a single chat without accessing any app.
It feels native for Postiz to schedule all your social posts from the chat!

The fun part is that you can connect multiple MCPs, for example:

- Connect it to Cursor and ask it to schedule a post about your work today.

- Connect it to Notion and ask to schedule all the team's latest work on social media.

- Connect it to any SaaS with CopilotKit (for example) and schedule posts based on the app.

There are so many options, and I will use it now.

You can use this from the Public API feature inside the "settings" of Postiz.

100% open-source.
Only people who are wrong consider VAT a tariff. Yes, importers have to pay it, but so do local manufacturers.

VAT has basically the same effect as sales taxes with a much more complicated tax incidence.

As far as I can see, this doesn't directly integrate with github (we currently use coderabbit on github)? Is it on your timeline?
Looks super interesting. I have couple of very annoying workflows that i'm looking to automate but no API's. Can i install my own apps?
I already live in the EU so know about a lot of the irritations of being an American abroad, but I was surprised to hear about the whole shifted UK tax year. I am considering a move there so I'll just remember your post and use it as a starting point in dealing with it all. Thanks so much for all the info!
Do you know how to program? It’s super easy to write a very simple rejection-based program to estimate the volume of a hypersphere (you can do it in <10 lines with numpy). Try it yourself for dimensionality 50 and see how long it takes before the estimate rises above precisely 0
You must remember that Softbank funded WeWork.

We used to call them part-time jobs, not side hustles.
> The kind of slow and steady protection and promotion of home-grown industry that China and most of Asia so successfully used to grow their economies was completely absent as even a talking point

The slow and steady way that post-WW2 Korea and Japan did needs a unanimously agreed 10-20 year long game plan between industry and government, which is incompatible with democracies who change colors and strategies every 4 years where the new administration begins to tear down everything the previous administration did because they serve different voter bases and corporate lobby groups.

It is also incompatible with the US since a lot of corporations made bank due to offshoring and will fight it every way they can since they don't want to deal with costly US labor who can unionize or sue you for millions if they break a finger at work. Even TSMC Arizona had to bring half the workers from Taiwan, and it's not like they're making tchotchkes.
He and his org distributed Hamas written materials. He is on film calling for the destruction of Israel and "the end of Western civilization".

I'm sorry he didn't care for the West, it seems appropriate we should send him home. If he hasn't finished his degree at age 30, we are probably doing his wallet a favor.
I can see how hitting the EU with tariffs is going to improve human rights ... oh wait.

But on a more serious note, tariffs could have been used for what you are saying, and it would have been a beautiful thing, but I think we can agree that's not what's happening here, can't we?
My experience agrees with you — which is why I tried to hedge in my statement — but meanwhile tech culture treasures its stories (perhaps just-so stories) of demanding leaders getting better performance from outrageous targets.
Email is in profile. You're welcome to add me to your list.
I think your logic arrow is the wrong way around. We only run screening for rare diseases when indicated, and then get things like this.

If CT scans are performed on more than 5% * (1 + false positive rate) of suspected cancer cases, having a CT scan in the history of 5% of cancer cases is entirely expected.
The hacker posted a screenshot of the shell on the 4chan server. It was running FreeBSD 10.1, which came out in 2014 and stopped getting patches in 2016. It seems like there was basically nobody doing maintenance after moot sold the site. I wonder how long it'll take for them to get the site back up if they don't have anyone who can do server administration.
You have to call their bluff when they try to pull that, they don't want you to ship stuff back either. I got a full refund after a few back and forths of "are you sure you want to ship that back for a refund??".
Stuff like this hits me in my health anxiety pretty bad, even if I know deep down that there's no point, on an individual scale, in worrying about this sort of thing; it's more of interest to clinicians for decision making. Still... I've had a couple CT scans with contrast in the past year, and that is probably somewhere around 20-25 mSv of radiation. In the grand scheme of things, it's really not that catastrophic of an amount, but it's a hell of a lot more than background radiation. Scary.
Tariffs work against the goal.

The only sane way to bring back manufacturing is investments like the chips act.

Think about it this way, you are a widget manufacturer trying to place a new factory. You could put it in say Canada and enjoy cheap imports and exports of your product globally. It's cheap to produce and easy to sell.

Or you could place it in the US, but now you are looking at a minimum 10% tax on importing the resources you need. On top of that, a significant portion of the world (especially the richest nations) are tacking on an addition 10% or more tax on your product because it came from the US.

Would you build a factory in the US? Maybe if you can source everything in the US and you are fine with your primary market being only the US. Otherwise, it's a bad business move.

When talking about something like semiconductors, global access is really important to be profitable. Low or no tariffs and the proximity to China and other raw resources powerhouses is a major reason why so much of the semiconductor industry is in Asia.
One personal niggle: "Code Review For The AI Era". I hate when people say era in relation to AI because it reminds me of Google's tasteless Gemini era thing.
It probably varies based on item price and how obvious the issue is. I had two sub-$10 items arrive visibly broken recently and got refunds in under 5 minutes.
This is what the healthcare community claims, but they're wrong.

I took a preventative MRI run by an ML/AI company that the healthcare folks say is a bad idea. I didn't discover any hidden cancers but they did find 1-2 emerging health issues that were preventable with simple diet and lifestyle changes.

If everyone showed up to their doctor asking for preventative imaging, it would overwhelm doctors since there aren't enough resources to treat everyone who is sick. Your individual health will always be less important than the integrity of the system.

I'm with you. I don't really understand the complaints, since Amazon's return policy means that you aren't really taking a risk when you buy, even from randomly-named brands.
More like common man does not think long term (and I'd say rightfully so). While democratic regime embraces populist hedonistic solutions.

Who cares about defense capabilities 10 or 50 years down the line? Lots of people in West had a good run outsourcing everything. But once there's nothing else to outsource and IP to sell... It's not gonna be pretty.

Next generations in West will have to work very hard to recover from this mess.
Both at the same time. If you repeatedly migrate in order to maintain a foraging and hunting lifestyle, you are sufficiently aware of the undependability of foraging and hunting to make large R&D investments in experimental methods of agriculture and animal husbandry.

The people involved in international aid in particular know fine well that it's not an easy problem to solve... Exploitation and corruption is at every level here. For a children in Congo it may be a better option if the only alternative is to starve, but let's not pretend that everyone from the mine owner to the smartphone buyer is not profiting from that situation.

As a consumer one of the few immediate means of action we have is to at least refuse these products when we can... Then yeah, vote, donate, get involved for these kids to live decently.
>Unfortunately when doing business with communists, enriching them doesn't help the individuals move out of poverty because that would require wages to rise and that happens for political reasons not merit in a single party system

But poverty has dropped and income has risen under the CCP? You can argue that the CCP doesn't actually care about "individuals moving out of poverty", and all they care about is staying in power, but this is the sort of accusation that could be levied against governments in the west as well.

There are some interesting things in this but there are also some deeply cynical anti-working class stereotypes:

>You don’t have people who insist on being paid in cash so that they can keep their disability payments, while they do acrobatics on the factory floor that the non-disabled workers cannot do.

>Chinese workers much less likely to physically attack each other and their manager. They don’t take 30 minute bathroom breaks on company time. They don’t often quit because their out-of-state mother of their children discovered their new job and now receives 60% of their wages as child support. They don’t disappear because they’ve gone on meth benders. And they don’t fall asleep on a box midshift because their pay from yesterday got converted into pills.

>Sadly, what I describe above are not theoretical situations. These are things that I have experienced or seen with my own eyes.

Really? How does he know if someone is on disability? How he know many of these are not seen in China? If they aren't then why aren't they? I don't think it is as simple as work ethic.
Trump is increasing the debt tho and did in his first term.

Republicans only care about debt when it can be used to either bash Democrats or used as a talking point to eliminate something they don't like. Lookup "Starve The Beast".

Republicans do not care about the debt. They care that it can be used as a tool. That's it.

They run up the debt when they want and then turn around to blame Democrats for the debt they ran up.

Nobody is really concerned with the US debt outside of silly wanna-be patriots and the politicians who use it to scare them. Now, one way to make the US debt a much bigger deal is to cause a recession...hmm...wonder if anyone is trying to do that...
Police in cities will beat homeless people and get them back on buses to where their hukou is, so the homeless that remain are very good at hiding. Hostile architecture is also very common in China. But there is a lot of sub quality housing (eg in sub-basements that lack windows or good ventilation) that allow much of the working poor to at least be technically housed even in expensive cities (many restaurants also provide housing for their staff in the dining area after closing, or did at least 20 years ago). The outskirts used to have more slums than they had today in Beijing, most of the slums have moved into sub-basements as far as I can tell (called the “ant tribe”).

Crime really is much lower than it was a decade ago. People have more money, societal trust is higher. Drug use in clubs has always been a thing, but China differs from the USA in that their is no social support at all for addicts (so they either get clean with help from their family or they die).
Subdomains can be on the same architecture

The weird thing about Heard Island is that it was specifically called out in a list that did not even include every country.

It wasn't that a flat 10% tariff implies that even non-populated islands have a 10% tariff.
