I don't. But w3m don't show much in the way that needs of blocking.

One popular myth these days is the Myth of Progress, you know, the one were we would already be building bridges on Jupiter ("2018!". James Blish. 1956). Adherents of this myth may be found in various corporate and academic environments wherein they may carry out all the usual power and money grubbing activities, cover over, give handsome golden parachutes, have sex scandals, and contribute nothing of value to science...because they're too busy politically infighting or churning out bad papers for bad grants, or doing the latest dutch tulip craze, or so forth, as the humans in those corporate or academic environments aren't very much different from, say, those in the Catholic Church.

Yep, do that in Perl for C libraries (or also in TCL (haven't had a need to do FFI in Common LISP (yet))). I have heard that Python is apparently a good language, but on account of certain members of its community...yeah, no. Maybe when those pythonistas can resist "The Two Minutes Hate" when Perl is mentioned, and stop reaching back down behind where their legs meet for stuff to throw... (such behavior might also help explain your anecdote).

Rust you say... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fjwilm%2Falacr... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnvd.nist.gov%2Fvuln%2Fdeta... off by ones, and where were the unit tests? progress in coding... as for how one regards all the "have you heard the good word of Rust" evangelism and that cod of conduct, well now that's opinion territory

Laptop 2 of 2, and also my desktop at work.

You should have seen the researcher's face when I told them Excel was (and had been) corrupting his data input (of yes genes). I forget what year this was, somewhere in the 1999-2002 range.

"The American model got us through the last 30 years."

Robber baron inequality levels, some romping good fun via foreign military and financial adventurism, not a little biosphere damage, and how's the middle class doing? A good exercise might be to take a walk by the Interstate and see how many homeless are living there.

"“Both are having a renaissance,” Schmidt said."

A renaissance? What long dead culture are we copying from in computing and biology? Or is this some new use of the term renaissance? If so, what does this use of renaissance mean? Feel-good technobabble? Other?

"political issues that are ultimately not that important...I’m not making a particular political point here"

Yes, they are. Yes, you are.

"more than just a medical bill"

Explain why Americans pay that big fat medical bill and yet only have life expectancies on par with Costa Rica? How exactly will throwing yet more tech at that wallet to see what sticks help (anything but Google's bottom line)?

Good. There have been too many glazed-eye douches in Tesla who have nearly run me down in crosswalks. This does not, alas, mean that American car sitters of other vehicle types are really any better at not running down pedestrians, but when you've built a mostly survivable car hell, what can one expect?

Given the decline of coal usage in the U.K. (on a downwards slope since a now somewhat rusted lady held power, though plateaued of late) and that the U.K. has been a net importer of coal over a similar period of time, phasing out old coal plants may be something of a no-brainer. Granted, the U.K. is now also a net importer of gas, and a net importer of oil, but those declines are much more recent than that of coal. It will be interesting to see, moving forward, how the British economy pays to import those resources, having burned through its own easily obtained stocks with quite some abandon...

Methinks this car sitter doth protest too much. Isn't there some Alison Liao you could be mowing down instead?

Everyone? My refrigerator has been turned off for years, and serves the quiet and inexpensive task of holding up the sourdough starter. The space where the ice box used to be has fermenting lemons, mead, kohlrabi, kraut, etc. Any actual productive use for a refrigerator (extending the life of beet kvaas, for instance) would need to be weighed against the noise and energy wasted on that giant of flavor, iceberg lettuce.

The history of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency may also be a relevant line of research wrt corporate power.

It's like gets(3), only different!

Road widening? While I suppose collecting yet more data on the phenomena known as induced demand might be fun and all, there's probably more sensible transportation investments to be made than laying down yet more expensive tarmac everywhere.

And then you run into the high costs of all that needless parking; see e.g. the research by Donald Shoup, and yet you want *four* spots per apartment? That's going to needlessly jack up the rent, waste valuable urban land, or do both in spades. Maybe for a few fancy luxury condos where they've got swerving beamers coming out of the woodwork, and can afford such, but certainly not for every building. Why not instead of your mandated minimums (which is the present system in America, though thankfully not as bad as you propose), let the market decide how much parking there should be, and how much it should cost?
