Ha, have also slept outside Biarritz station whilst interrailing. Must be the sea breeze.

Wow that's a fantastic deal. I seem to remember it was about £280 in the 90s for standard class, 30 day unlimited.

Thanks, great to know. I hear you on at least knowing where you might sleep. Age 18-23 even this isn't that critical, when 'beach' or 'park' are viable answers.

The best part of interailling for me was turning up to a major train station, looking at the giant departure board, choosing an enigmatic destination and just getting on the train. No booking or reservations or even planning at any point.

Is this not possible any more?

This is absolutely needed for media companies in London, some of whom may pay freelancers many months after invoicing and only if the freelancer repeatedly reminds them and escalates towards legal threats. When I ran such a company we made a point of paying people the same day they invoiced in order to stand out as being great to work with, it was the easiest win ever.

They should give the data to people who ask, which will be a snapshot in time presented in a spreadsheet. Then what you are paying for is the interface that shows you who clicked yesterday with a thumbnail and a link to their profile, and who will click tomorrow, as long as you keep paying. But refusing the download option is not on.

So you don't want to be accountable to users, or to bureaucrats? If you had to choose one who would it be?

Your question ramp makes sense to me except in two ways: 1. why this "destroy lives in seconds?" question? 2. where do you see sugar sitting here?

Okay sounds like we agree that sugar and junk food should be on the wrong side of the line, but turns out those industries have very little stigma. Who is standing outside the school gates protesting against big cola? My point is it's complicated, ambiguous, sometimes hypocritical, differs by jurisdiction and so on. None of it is clear.

There are plenty of other products that literally ruin people's lives: alcohol, tobacco, sugar, pharmaceuticals, credit cards, firearms, timeshares, junk food. Society has them all on very different parts of a stigma spectrum.

Honest question: why is this line so clear for you?

Search for the MinaLima edition of the Wizard of Oz, it's absolutely stunning.

Great work, thanks!

I'm making placards now. Meet you on the corner of Pioneer and 78th st.

Wow. Downvoted for factual clarification and helpful citation. No idea what drives such people, but must logically assume deception and obfuscation.

Both are featured in the video and both have credits visible through the microscope.

Watch the video if you believe it's worth being clear. The credits are perfectly visible on both the LaserDisc AND the CED. Approx 22:00-24:00 is the laser disc and 25:00 onwards is the CED. Enjoy.

Not simply repeating patterns, readable text from the credits as shown in the video.

It says its tailored for beginners, but I don't know what kind of beginner can parse multiple paragraphs like this:

"How wrong was the prediction? We need a single number that captures "the model thought the correct answer was unlikely." If the model assigns probability 0.9 to the correct next token, the loss is low (0.1). If it assigns probability 0.01, the loss is high (4.6). The formula is − log ⁡ ( � ) −log(p) where � p is the probability the model assigned to the correct token. This is called cross-entropy loss."

You claim to cite 'technologies' but include a few brands and companies for some reason.

The one you keep citing, here and in the article, Quibi, lives on in technology-form (the spirit of your article we must presume) as an 8 billion dollar business in China and is rapidly upending every Hollywood film studio.

So, arguments about substantiation or even 'this time' fall flat in the face of not even understanding your own message.

Glad to see this here, Balearic slinging has a rich and impactful history. But sadly this is not much appreciated today on the islands.

The Federation hosts open days where only a handful of people show up. Top slingers from the islands are treated with great acclaim when they travel to international competitions but at home few know who they are. The Balearic Government and local councils show little interest in supporting or promoting this activity.

I can't help feel it could and should be much more popular, with an injection of support and enthusiasm, especially as the islands try to rediscover a post-tourism identity.

But I don't see any evidence of this yet. I continue to do my little part in telling everyone I know how fascinating this sport is.

And yes, how incredibly difficult! I had probably 50 attempts before I hit a large target just 7 or 8 metres away.

I think you mean complaining about metrication 50 years later :-)

The counterpoint is that without the metric system how could we make snarky comments on US-based woodworking videos?

Thanks. It's very easy to miss, as I did.

The central idea that we all have the same tools which now represent an infrastructure baseline, therefore we need to look harder to establish our moats (not just in knowing things although that's one) is sound and well put. Thanks.

Nice, except, first game I clicked is now only pay-to-play on major platforms. I'm not against that, but it doesn't feel like a Show HN game anymore which I kind of expect to be a little rough and ready and certainly free to play. Perhaps this could be noted in the listing? I mean it's a success for the developer, not a downside. Game was Holedown.

Note this digitisation was by a company called Mad Pixel, and supported by Google in 2009. It was the first experiment that later became the Google Art Project in 2011 (now Google Arts & Culture).

Not familiar with Mr Kraus. Shortcut to remembering how to pronounce Sòller is to say 'So yeah'. We're surrounded by scarcely-maintained groves with owners pleading to do something with the fruit and there's only so many marmalades (wrong kind of oranges) or Aperol copycats one can make. Orange blossom ice cream a big success this year.

That may be true of modern farms elsewhere but is not the case for historical groves here. They are sometimes spaced appropriately but that's about it. Usually on vehicular-inaccessible mountainside terraces.

Plenty of orange trees in public places, plenty of abandoned groves around and a handful of eco-fincas where you can pick for next to nothing.
