Nothing (AI slop to create an unnecessary product, funded by A16Z).

The US is younger than a single Chinese dynasty.

Eh? There are like 60 Chinese dynasties throughout history. The US has been around longer than most of them. And some of the dynasties that were around longer than the US has been will lose that title if the US lasts another ~30 years. The Qing, Ming, Tang, etc. dynasties all lasted ~275 years, and the US has been around for 248 by now. But the vast majority of the Chinese dynasties lasted like 10 to 50 years.

Also many cities in America are walkable.

I fault the people complaining about performance of a city builder running at 1440p more than the developer. You're looking at concrete and asphalt and brick textures and shit like that. You don't need anything higher than 720p.

If you buy pine or oak or cedar you can be pretty darn sure it is regenerative. That's how the industry is able to exist: they cut the same fields of trees every 15-30 years.

If you're concerned, you can always plant a tree or two somewhere for every project you do that uses wood. There are lots of places that let you plant trees even outside your own property.

The hardwood family this article is about, ipe, is not grown at all in the US.

I'd sooner have real IDs tied to internet personas than this shit

That's not really "full self driving" if you are referring to the SAE scale. Level 5, the top, is fully autonomous driving, everywhere. What you are referring to is level 4; fully autonomous driving in specific geofenced areas on predetermined routes. Think Delamain in Cyberpunk 2077.

Buying a diploma is not really a bragging point.

As if college doesn't also require a lot of certification and training which is time consuming and costs money.

Oh my god yes trying to watch Carnival Row is freaking impossible during the day. But also, I'd be OK with worse picture if they would let the sound guys actually get a microphone within 20 feet of the actors.

Yes, actually. According to current FTC rules, canceling a subscription has to be as easy or easier than signing up for it. Lina Khan is great, and a shining example of why votes matter and both parties aren't the same.

Depends on your latitude. Here in Georgia in the US permanent DST is far better than permanent Standard Time. It might be bad up in Canada I suppose.

The vast majority of users never post an answer or a question, and most of those that post only once or twice never get upvoted (or get downvoted more than upvoted), so their reputation stays at 1.

I think they said a couple years ago that over 50 or 60% of registered users have 1 reputation.

Well, IE has not been receiving feature updates for over a year. It only receives security patches, and these days only critical ones. It is a dead browser; do not use it unless your job forces you to.

It's likely that Amazon and GM want far more control in the car manufacturing process than someone like Elon Musk would be willing to give. So it's not so much why Amazon and GM aren't willing, but that Musk isn't. Rivian makes superb trucks, but it's incredibly small right now and not likely to last a long time without some kind of deep-pocket investment... especially considering its business strategy is as much an electric vehicle platform as it as a 'traditional' electric automobile manufacturer... that last bit is probably super enticing for a company like Amazon.

The main things you should learn to become decent at CSS are:

- the box model

- how cascading, specificity, and inheritance work

- googling CSS problems with the site:stackoverflow.com filter

Bit tongue-in-cheek with that last one, but the rest will give you a solid understanding of why certain things work the way they do when your code doesn't look the way you expect.

I can't do anything basic on CSS without turning for help

The thing is, if you are working with a whole website (even simple looking websites can have a lot of HTML and CSS), then there are often no "simple" problems, at least with layout, because every element can and often does affect every other element.

Sometimes you just need a good old analogy or picture to demonstrate some things: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33132586/why-isnt-my-mar... (disclaimer - I wrote that answer). In a lot of ways, your elements and their CSS are like rocks in a river... the water/document flows around them in certain ways, which affects stuff around them or downstream. Removing one or adjusting it can change how the water/document flows, and thus can affect other rocks/elements, etc.

Happy with a lot of stuff 65 introduced (this is a nice trend in a lot of recent Firefox releases)

One thing I'm not happy about; opted-in recommendations for addons when you browse websites.

That will never happen in a capitalist system

.NET Core is the future just like moving on from COBOL and FORTRAN was the move 30+ years ago, eh?

by and large, btw

In the past: holy grail layout

Now: masonry layout / infinite scrolling

"protecting the cyclist from the wind" is simply the layman's way of saying "eliminating aerodynamic drag"

Apple's got a market cap of $1 trillion and $285 billion in cash. It can afford to do whatever the hell it wants, frankly.

That's probably a lot to do with two instances of virtual desktops running, though.

I actually deal with this by marking every "liked" tweet shown to me as "I don't like this Tweet" whenever it happens, and then after each time I tweet at Twitter and TwitterSupport to stop showing it to me ever. Works well for about 3 or 4 months until I get another batch of 10 or so "liked" tweets.

But academia is not the professional world, it's the opposite...

Start with not sending people in the wrong direction, there's a free tip.

Maybe we should replace seatbelts with roller coaster over the shoulder covers or roll bars that drop down or something. They can be controlled by the passenger except during takeoff and landing. Then they can be lifted/opened in small groups or in some ordered fashion to help control disembarking.

About time, dang
