A fly that naturally spreads one mile per day does not travel from Panama to Texas in four years.

Yeah, this is the main thing I use privacy.com for

Here's a post about it from FIRE, the org that defended him https://www.fire.org/news/victory-tennessee-man-jailed-37-da...

Gah, thanks for this. Thought I was used to that slight-of-hand but this one got me

On the Dan Ryan, driving the speed limit would be very unsafe considering most people are going at least 15 over!

Hawaii already has this rule for what it's worth. The issue there is that they have so many EV's on the road that these chargers are always in use and have lines (and aren't really that fast to begin with). Having experienced that, I still wouldn't get an EV without a guaranteed place to charge at home.

Tried this while in Hawaii with a rental EV (with no charging at my hotel) and it did not work at all. Hawaii is one of the states with the most EV's per person and there's frequently chargers in places like malls and grocery stores (whole foods and target in particular). However, because there's so many EV's, all of these chargers are always in use, and there are usually lines or people waiting around to snag a spot as soon as it becomes available. It was a massive inconvenience and put me off of EVs for the near future: I'd either need an sfh or to be somewhere that figures out public charging when more than a tiny fraction of the total vehicles on the road are electric.

I think that worked in the timeframe it did because women as a group aren't generationally poor (which is to say they aren't born any more or less well off than men), and so the entire shift was one of cultural attitudes. Perhaps AA for women helped normalize female doctors more quickly (haven't looked at any data on this but it seems plausible), though it remains to be seen if the same strategy can work for balancing CS. I'm curious though: did people at the time assume female doctors were less qualified because of AA?

Why do you assume that public transit produces substantially less particulate emissions than EVs? I'm sure you've smelled ICE busses before, but even if you upgrade those to electric, Electric busses are very heavy, leading to an outsized impact on road/tire/break wear: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35780985/

Subways have wear-related particulate emissions too, with the added disadvantage of them being less easy to vent: https://nyulangone.org/news/pre-covid-19-subway-air-polluted...

The roads in this old video of NYC still look pretty wide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXRnGwbrnOo

Mind you there's some cars in the videos, but they aren't any bigger than the horse-drawn carriages that roads had been accommodating well before that.

People bidding whatever they can afford is largely a lack-of-supply problem, is it not? If more housing of a given status level were available, eventually it wouldn't be necessary for everyone to spend everything they can on bidding wars. And sure, then you might say "well then the relative status of that housing has shifted and your peers still aren't saving, they're just spending their money on nicer housing", but I still see that as an absolute win. I have much more empathy for a person not saving money when saving money means "living in a dump and commuting 90 minutes each way" than when it means "living more than half an hour away from Central Park".

With you until the last sentence. The high prices for small condos in urban centers are an indication that there are fewer of them in supply relative to what the market demands. There's nothing wrong with letting urban centers densify and serve as a containment zone for childless 20-somethings (in fact, this would mean more affordable single family homes for those that need them). And who knows, if there's enough dense urban housing to meet demand, then those residents could have an easier saving up money themselves, with which to later purchase some more space in which to raise a family

In fairness, the original anecdote is about 2002

My 2005 Honda Accord gets this right (big, obvious buttons). Definitely not looking forward to finding a car whose UX doesn't suck when this one finally kicks the bucket.

I mean yes, it's biased compared to the mythical unattainable standard of being completely unbiased. But that's not the bar. The bar is mainstream news outlets, which are drastically easier to outperform even with a half-assed attempt.

Who do you think purchases the products that heavy industry makes?

But only a small portion of the battery's weight is lithium, right? This older source has a 453 kg Tesla battery as containing 63 kg of lithium, for example: https://electrek.co/2016/11/01/breakdown-raw-materials-tesla...

You avoid taking flak from the Responsible AI people that way

I'd suggest "The Moral Character of Cryptographic Work" but that might be a bit too on the nose

Surely it may not stop some criminals mastermind, but most criminals are idiots with bad impulse control. I'd wager that many are caught by this process

Sounds a bit like differential privacy

I want it to write raunchy poetry, to give me bad recipes for crystal meth, to let me probe at its deepest biases, to do what I want it to do rather than what's deemed acceptable by the AI Safety killjoys

If I can use it without the filters, absolutely

Why not just use Ristretto with Curve25519 to avoid cofactor issues?

Then they can flag the offending post through twitter's reporting system like everyone else

So they send you an email with an activation code but you don't need to click on any links or otherwise interact with the email. Theoretically, someone else who knows your email could have registered you... Probably not too believable, but you could send the email to your coworkers too to improve your anonymity set

If you can't stop the bots, might as well monetize them?

The actual free speech absolutist position would be "if it's illegal, the government can intervene. Otherwise, it remains"

Ultimately it would be the community deciding to value the PoS fork as "real Ethereum". Something similar happened with ETH and Ethereum Classic, where classic is the unforked version that nobody cares about. A PoW fork will almost certainly exist, but that doesn't mean anyone has to use it and indeed some major players like Chainlink have already announced that they will not support a PoW fork

Could it have been someone working with a car repossession group?
