Of course it is lower! You have plenty of rich people living in known places without any special security and no one comes to kidnap them because they cannot just send over their whole wealth in an irreversible transaction in a second. The problem is not to know who has money, it is a system in which it is trivial to transfer it without any supervision and without any way to go back.

Soooo exactly what Zod is doing?

It was a win win arrangement of sorts. Europe got to spend less on defense. US won a reliable ally that would not challenge them much, and help enforce worldwide US dominance. Basically a near vassal situation.

There are way more possibilities. And the main one is that any negative effect would only be visible in a long time (let's say 10 years) and by that time it may take 10-20 years again to change course.

For instance say you lower standards for building bridges, how do you assess the success? First you may notice nothing, because all bridges under construction stay with their design, so consequence 0. After a few years, construction costs may go down because the new standard allow to cut some corners. Great! Success! Now 30 years in the future maybe suddenly the bridge has a failure that costs 20x the savings at the time of construction. Well suddenly not great. But changing the standard at that point would not fix all the bridges built over those 30 years.

Evaluating public policies is often very hard and it's sometimes only possible a long time after. I would also say that weather or not a policy is good or has positive impact has little impact on winning or losing elections. Lots of terrible policies can win you voters. Just like building the best product is not the easiest way to make money. For both goods and elections, playing on emotions works a lot better.

Most brand values exist because purchases are social capital, and this has been the case for a long time.

I have never seen a syntax highlighter for SQL that actually covers the real deal from Postgres dialect. Basic stuff is covered and then suddenly you use a combination that isn't covered and the colors are all wrong. This is even true for pgadmin, which is ironic. Unlike most programming languages, SQL built in syntax is huuuuuge and it is very hard to cover it all, especially as it varies with the dialect.

Emojis are one of the best things about Unicode. They're not even that complex to handle, and they allow sooooo many things.

Hora do you know that? I've seen really well optimized React apps and very poorly optimized Svelte apps. It's not like using Svelte magically makes performance good. Just like using Unreal Engine doesn't mean that a game is optimized. You just have different, maybe better, tools to improve performance.

Interestingly it happened to me a lot in France but never in Sweden. So it cannot be just about temperature

"robust ecosystem" is a rather optimistic view of the rust situation... I would have said "a bunch of 0.x libraries that do 80% of the work and let you figure you the hard 20% while being slightly incompatible with each other, and that will be painful to glue together because of the rules for traits"

Then free speech does not currently exist anywhere, right?

One could argue video players in general just lose relevance in an age of streaming ... And everything has definitely not crystallized around h.264. plenty of sources will give you widely different things, for instance digital cameras, webcam, even screen recorders. Basically most of the input is in completely different formats. If you were thinking about pirated movies then it is of course more the case, but I wouldn't think it is the biggest use case of VLC. I for one appreciate being able to read both Mac screen recordings and clips from my DSLR with the same software without installing a bunch of weird stuff.

I have not seen that's happening anywhere. What actually happens is that parties will just focus on whoever votes and ignore the rest.

Sure, maybe if participation dropped suddenly to 20% there would be comments and reactions, but anything over 40% would barely get a few curious articles and no real difference.

This is obviously not accurate. The 48h delay is not 48h after squatters entered the place, but 48h after you DISCOVERED them. And after those 48h you will still get your property back, just much more slowly because it is just not considered an emergency anymore if you discover a problem and don't signal it immediately. If you go on vacation for 3 weeks, discover squatters when you come back and can prove you are the owner you will get the squatters kicked out in less than 24 hours, plus potentially arrested. And it makes sense, otherwise everyone would be squatting houses all the time!

If you are a large company owning hundreds of thousands of them and knowing you will have disk failures regardless, maybe. If you own just a few hundreds and a failure costs you money the logic may be completely different.

For migration, sure, but it is very related to the history of the US (nearly everyone is a relatively recent immigrant so it feels wrong to refuse that others come in). For abortion and gender this is not correct though. It is not as hot a topic but positions are not that different between European left and democrats. There is also a very wide scale of opinions inside the Democrat party itself. Some people just focus on the very left of the party but plenty of democrats are much more similar to Macron than the French left when it comes to social issues.

Is anything, experiencing WW1 should have the opposite effect given its absurdity. See Journey to the End of the Night for instance

I don't think people are worried about losing access to a particular LLM. They are worried about losing access to Gmail, google docs, google photos, their phone, google cloud just because of a test in an unrelated product that happens to share the same account.

I suppose "by some measure" means "by none whatsoever"? Tobacco sales are at lowest point for 50 years, and even occasional usage is close to 50y low.

I remember when you couldn't go anywhere without smelling cold tobacco, even in trains and buses, not even talking about might clubs and restaurants... Now even outside many smokers are considerate and will avoid smoking in your direction, especially when you have kids, which was definitely not the case 20 years ago!

I do really benefit from finally having a way to use shell scripting. Life is too short to remember hundreds of one letter options with obscure combinations
