Half the issue is they’re calling 10 in a row “good enough” to treat it as solved in the first place.
A sample size of 10 is nothing.
Frankly would like to see some error bars on the “human polling”. How many people rapiddata is polling are just hitting the top or bottom answer?
more than 300 million Americans
I know wiggle room is the gold standard of journalism… but you can just say “all Americans”.
The boring company tunnels are a problem.
They don’t have the boring normal stuff you need for an actual transit line, like service access or evacuation routes or proper ventilation. They’re being disruptive by ignoring everything we’ve learned since the 1800s about tunnel building. It might be easier to retrofit than dig a fresh tunnel, but at that point you’re limited to the route they dug, which probably isn’t as useful for transporting people instead of cars.
If you have trust, why do you need a blockchain?
Distributed / immutable databases are not solely a feature of blockchain either.
It’s a very interesting thing in a vacuum. Basically any application of it so far (with the possible exception of the original one, if it weren’t just a speculation investment machine at the moment) runs into the problem where it has to interact with reality at some point. And most of the problems Blockchains solve are already solved by a variety of other systems, for less time/currency/hardware investment.
Are they close to feature parity with Steam yet? Like after a quick search of it looks like they added cloud saves but that took years.
I mean service accounts and email groups are a thing.
This sounds like someone asked an LLM how to give them an email account and it parroted the instructions for a regular user because no one involved new any better.
Absolutely it didn’t just get lit on fire.
But that amount of money is enough to end world hunger for a decade. (According to the WHO, ~$7-8 billion a year.)
Instead of being the next Carnegie but with food instead of libraries, and worldwide, Zuckerberg went for a moon shot pet project that an undergrad MBA student would’ve been laughed out of the room for presenting. Diverting time, money, and resources from anything actually productive.
While paying basically no taxes.
Wasn’t the height of Nazi popularity (at least vote wise) something like 30%? They got a plurality of the vote and steamrolled from there because of how the Wiemar Republic system worked but they weren’t the majority, at least until it was actively detrimental to not be part of the party.
If that’s some remnant of Clean Wehrmacht or similar mythology bouncing around in my head I apologize.
It’s also just a very different environment. It was very cumbersome to take a picture in the 1930s. Now we have movie theater quality video with stereo audio disseminated worldwide within minutes of a thing happening, if it’s not live.
Thankfully this one is built of many redundant layers instead of just one layer of metal.
You’re talking about State laws being different.
They’re asking about the Federal government applying federal laws differently to select States.
Which is very not normal.
Very clear.
Secondary examples include:
Dictionaries, Encyclopedias (also considered tertiary);
Tertiary examples include:
Dictionaries and Encyclopedias (also considered secondary);
They do have a handy table later though:
| Primary | diaries - world war |
| Secondary | biography - world war |
| Tertiary | encyclopedia - world war |
You shouldn’t cite wikipedia in a paper because it’s a tertiary source. Somehow that got lost in translation sometime in the 90s.
You shouldn’t cite any other encyclopedia either, because they’re “some guy” writing a paragraph or so about a thing. I think it was Britannica that Tolkein wrote a lot of the “W”'s for. I’m sure he did a great job, but it’s not exactly easy to fact check him either.
At least in my state, it explicitly means proof of citizenship. Permanent residents have a slightly different ID. The documents required to get one are what you would use to prove citizenship. Passport, birth certificate, etc. and it’s all verified by relevant agencies. That’s kind of the whole point.
Frankly even if they’re “just” lawfully present and that’s not differentiated on the ID, that should be enough reason for DHS to not detain them if any remotely reasonable policy were being followed instead of rounding up people based on skin color.
* proof of citizenship or lawful presence. Which is supposed to be indicated on the card. Which is supposed to be validated by DHS.
One of the ways REAL ID doesn’t matter for voting is that putting a ballot in a box is only the very first step in counting a vote, and there are multiple checks whether it’s valid and from person that is allowed to vote afterwards. After several centuries of practice paper voting is pretty thoroughly stress tested. Even if most people have no idea how.
Are 600 player servers impressive? I’m sure they have plenty of hardware and engineering involved but that doesn’t sound exceptional as much as expected for the scope they’re aiming for.
WoW is a simpler game, in that it’s effectively 2 dimensions and doesn’t involve physics, but that would be a fairly low server population, especially back in it’s heyday. Ditto for many other big MMOs.
EvE has 600+ player battles on a fairly regular basis, much less on a server instance in general.
No those are links between two separate systems. I just want to use my phone screen and the car’s speakers / power.
why we started adding computer operating systems to our vehicles to begin with.
Because fuel injection operates better than even the most high tech carburetors across a wider range of environments. And if you have more sensors and active feedback you can better control everything from emissions to warm up time. Everything trickles down from racing / luxury vehicles. Once you have processors involved, might as well do fancy things with them inside the cabin too.
A lot of the dash / center console nonsense is consumer cost cutting, but frankly it should’ve been separate from the start. Any budget phone is a better GPS / media platform than a half-baked system by a vehicle manufacturer. At this point it should just be a USB-C or bluetooth connection so the device without the bargain basement processor can do the heavy lifting for a user interface.
They break this down on their page, but while that’s certainly true-ish for the last year or two the bulk of the collection is from before that.
On their torrent page it’s explained more but it’s broken up into many many torrents and you basically say how much space you’re willing to host and it generates one with the least seeded “blob”.
I don’t really know how that would work on the back end but it seems technically impressive.
This is city center. The park is nice. It was the 1974 world’s fair grounds, it’s a bunch of bridges over waterfalls and there’s been a decent amount of investment / upkeep the last few years.
The business owners in the 70s all opposed it’s construction because they didn’t think it would be good for downtown. Since then they’ve really doubled down on surface lots to charge people going to the park / mall / downtown businesses.
