For me the interesting part of his argument is that we reframe things we see in real life based on the recorded version of the similar thing we have seen before. It often makes it more compelling and easier to relate to. Then it becomes the way we interpret our world and since so many people consume it similarly it becomes a mass mental constraint on our perception, understanding and interpretation of the real world.
This excerpt isn't really about football per se, so if you take it only that way you might be missing his point.
Companies don't take down listings for many reasons: make it look like they have more money to expand than they actually have, slow down the job seeker so their competition moves just slightly slower, there's no benefit in taking it down, if someone is actually reading the applications maybe an exceptional applicant will come that fits for another role in the company, drive up costs for the competition (hey boss everyone is hiring for my role so give me a raise), etc. [edit: gram mer and spolling]
This sounds likely so thanks. However some of my best matched positions I've found on the site after a day or two after posting, as I check it regularly.
That would be bad. The reality is that government can't micromanage technology. We could be in an alternate universe stuck with NiCad battery packs and 6v lantern batteries because the laws weren't kept up to date - particularly because the NiCad manufacturers and lantern battery manufacturers dumped money on politicians to cement their position.
I think the most I could get on board with was the mandating of USB C by the EU. You can have whatever connectors you like so long as you have the USB C. And then of course we can get lost in what "USB C" actually is.
Government "micromanaging" technology is why you can actually plug things into the phone network. Things like modems. For the internet. Before the government slapped AT&T, you leased the phone and it was wired into the wall and they could take you to court for connecting anything "unauthorized" into the wall.
It's also why PC compatibles ever happened at all.
It's also why Apple phones finally have a standard port. Which you admit.
Interoperability is not natural, and IP laws make it trivial for companies to utterly block as we are dealing with today. Interoperability often requires regulation to force companies to allow people to interact with "their" standards.
The government can manage interfaces in a way that enables standardization and interoperability without limiting capabilities.
You are conflating so many things. I was speaking about the "government" (there are hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of them) regulating battery standards for power tools - you address none of that. Yes I made a broad statement about government micromanaging which I stick by even as a staunch pro-regulation power to the people type of person.
Even if the EU (a specific government entity) hadn't stepped in over the USB C thing it would have been figured out eventually we just didn't want to wait.
I don't see how you can use AT&T as an example for your point. AT&T was our US government forcing us under threat of state violence to use what technology they deemed was allowed.
Amazon Fresh provided lots of good jobs in my community. Family members worked there. Good pay and they employed locally (or can walk to work). Same with whole foods. Too bad Amazon couldn't make it work. Interesting timing with their push for more online grocery offerings.
Went to return some packages at the local Fresh store on Jackson. Huge long line to get in. Eventually wound up doing some shopping. Place was very full (within fire regulations of course). Some good security and organizing folk. A tip bowl at the return desk that said "help the employees get wasted". All the pricing is electronic and puterized so I'm expecting that at the last minute on the last day the last product will sell for within a cent.
Actually knowing Amazon they'll give the staff a huge gimme and nice bonuses. People crap on Amazon but they are a good employe for the little guy. They can't rewrite society so go for that take. Otherwise people are bummed they lost good jobs.
It doesn't have to be the sky is falling, it's reality. In one year Europe went from "can we fight Russia with American help" to "can we fight Russia without American help" to "can we fight America". If Europe doesn't get itself unencumbered with the US they are in a very vulnerable position.
That looks very interesting. Could use a demo or examples for us short attention spanned individuals. Would be cool to feed it into TTS or video generation like Sora.
Rails expand and contract according to the temperature (11mm per degree C per km). They are continuously welded together and installed under tension and heated to a neutral / median temperature for the location. It was around 0C that night in an area that gets up to 47C (and rails might get hotter under the sun) so there was at least 300mm of contraction per kilometre of rail.
The rail fractured into pieces during the derailment. You can see some of those pieces lying around in the photographs.
As the article notes: the initial break left marks on the wheels of several previous trains. The final gap is big enough that no train could possibly make it past it, so it is pretty clear that the gap got larger as the incident progressed.
