Think of it like a unix pipe. That’s what they’re going for with the concatenative paradigm.

That incident basically ended Uber ATG. I wouldn’t say that nothing happened.

I predict that store-bought pre-packages meals will become more common in Europe over time. I think there’s a clear pattern of food cultures being hollowed out over time. It’s great if your parents know how to cook well and you can learn fr

My first thought was that the term could’ve predated Hawaii becoming a state, which only happened in 1959. But that seems to be false; the term only started getting popular around 1967: https://books.google.com/ngrams/g

There is an incentive for churches to remove government safety nets so that desperate people have to turn to churches for charity. This gives churches the chance to try to convert people they otherwise wouldn’t. I think this is bad because

All models having hybrid options is pretty different from all models being hybrids. That sentence in the article is just poorly written.

> The United States Senate voted 57-43 to acquit Donald J. Trump in his second impeachment trial This is really bad writing. They should have said “57-43 in favor of conviction, below the 67 votes needed” or something similar.

It’s weird and pretty neat hearing England described in the kind of vague, exotic terms that I’m used to hearing from like the Arabian Nights.

Imagine a Twitch livestream with tens of thousands of viewers, and each one is able to independently move a live camera to get the view they want. The complexity comes from scale.

Neat! I would qualify that this is an ASL fingerspelling classifier, rather than a general classifier for the ASL language.

I saw a talk about Lumberyard once. The really special things they wanted to do were integrate it tightly with AWS and Twitch, which enabled some neat features like letting people spectate games and move their own camera around the field to

I would argue that that complexity should be handled by the screenreader through heuristics rather than the .gemini format itself, based on the desire to keep basic clients very simple (~100 loc). But that’s a really good point!

Okay, fair. I meant that dual sovereignty itself isn’t strange, but I see that you meant specifically wrt criminal courts. I’ll defer to you on that since I don’t know much about it.

I’m not sure I would call that “strange”; it’s just the meaning of federalism. Federal means that subnational units have some limited sovereignty, versus unitary where only the toplevel government has sovereignty.

Wouldn’t these plants generate credits under cap-and-trade? That’s a strong economic incentive under the right system. I’m not sure why the article focuses on morality and “dangerous habits” when we understand exactly how to encourage limit

I’d guess they mean the “millenials prefer experiences to things” zeitgeist, which I think is broadly true. Older generations valued having many possessions, whereas newer generations seem to see having lots of stuff as limiting. Of course,

I second “Games People Play”. It’s a very enjoyable read and it has a lot of real insight.

Nit: Congressional elections are held every two years, so complete control may disappear in 2022. If you’re implicitly depending on the presidential veto to block Republican attempts if they take control of congress, then yeah that’s fair.

I learned this at the Exploratorium in SF. They had an exhibit consisting of a miniature solar panel with an output reading and a small token that could cover a single panel. Very fun trip!

It’s not very good as a learning resource for mathematics. That’s pretty minor, but it is the main point about Wikipedia that I wish were better (I know, I’m free to help out...).

For Mars, at least, that would be tens of minutes round trip because of the speed of light. It works for some things, but for pathfinding it isn’t a great fit. The other issue is bandwidth between the craft and Earth, which is quite limited

Dorms usually ban them, but for everyone else you can buy single induction burners relatively cheaply for cooking. Instant pots and similar products are another compact alternative. When I was a student, I did a fair amount of cooking in sh

Be sure to verify that it worked. Some settings of Takeout don’t download docs/sheets/slides files. I don’t remember what the default is, unfortunately.
