And some attitudes are changing. A few years ago my state passed a law allowing local jurisdictions to designate a “social district” where public drinking is permitted. This is usually in a downtown area where there might be multiple restaurants/bars/music venues and maybe stores that are open at times that cater to when people are drinking. The areas are clearly marked with signs and if you pass them the alcohol becomes illegal, and I think the alcohol needs to have been purchased inside the social district; you can’t just show up with your own (cheaper) alcohol from home.

Where consider that down in parts of Florida where college students used to go party a lot for times like Spring Break, there used to be a lot of public drinking but the mass crowds of intoxicated young people, often vomiting and urinating all over in public, became obnoxious enough that local residents stopped caring about the tourism revenue and passed laws to crack down on this behavior.

You would probably be able to get away with the opaque water bottle as long as you aren’t trying to take it someplace where those water bottles are forbidden. For instance, a sporting or concert venue might only allow you to bring such a bottle in if it is demonstrably empty, since that is such an obvious way to bring in a beverage that the venue would prefer to sell to you at 3-5x the normal price. And again, if you’re obviously intoxicated or otherwise causing problems police might take a closer look anyways.

Apart from the public drinking being a possible issue with what you describe about the public space parties, many jurisdictions have noise ordinances that would prohibit the loud music after a certain hour, often 10 PM. Usually only specially designated areas, like outdoor concert venues, would be allowed to make a lot of noise later than that. But again, for that to be enforced you’d have to be making a nuisance of yourself enough that someone would call the police. That’s the case with a lot of the laws: you have to be so egregious with it that you attract police attention or aggravate someone enough that they call the police.

Yes, but you said you were using Resolve for color grading. My understanding is you should still be able to use that on Linux, but I haven’t tried it yet myself.

This was always one of my favorite songs on what to me remains one of his best albums. I’d love to see this used in a modern western

If you’re willing to consider something not Wear OS, Garmin watches offer many of the same features and typically multiple days of battery life.

*forked to Mbin now.

It’s not FOSS (IIRC) but I think Resolve is fully available on Linux?

People used to post Piped/Invidious links all the time, but that eventually became a problem because it meant the link often went to a different proxy than the one that might be a user’s preferred server, and it made it harder to copy the link for use with a preferred server. After some discussion, the consensus became that people should just post the YouTube URL as the main link so users could utilize the preferred proxy they likely already have configured, and then (optionally) include a Piped/Invidious link in the body text for those who don’t currently use a proxy but would like to try it.

I’m pretty sure I read the same or a similar story years earlier than that, so I’m pretty sure it’s a screenshot of a repost

Digging deeper by following the link to List of gaps in Interstate Highways, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Authority is finally fixing this:

Local businesses have lobbied to keep the gap to avoid a perceived potential loss of business. Despite this, the Pennsylvania Turnpike has announced plans to close this gap by directly connecting I-70 to the Turnpike in September 2024. Completion of the construction is expected in 8-10 years.

I love when these things come back to life randomly

But people won’t invest trillions of dollars into Simulated Intelligence!

Having not watched the video, was the leak a real accident or one of those times where governments decide to experiment on their own soldiers without telling them they’re in an experiment?

I’ve sometimes wondered what life looks like for people after they get out of the industry and get older. Did your past career affect your future jobs? Was it something you told romantic partners? Did you ever tell family members, at the time or later? Were you ever worried about people finding out about your career? Sometimes you hear about all these people doing online work like Only Fans or similar, and while some are making lots of money, many presumably aren’t, and it leaves me wondering if in the future the ones who didn’t make it will feel like it was worth the effort.

I never understood how transactions were supposed to be anonymous if every single one ever made was recorded on the blockchain. The argument a long time ago seemed to be that the sheer volume of transactions would make it impossible to reasonably handle, but in the past couple years I’ve seen more and more stories where the FBI has tools that let them trace transactions and use them in arrests of people engaged in crimes that have netted millions of dollars. Maybe right now it’s still only worth doing on major crimes, but I assume it will only get easier and more available with time.

I’d be surprised if this takes down Broadcom altogether, but could certainly kill the division. Oracle still exists, after all, even though they basically killed Sun and Java.

Wait, she went on parental leave from her job, as in having a newborn baby, and used that time to get a master’s degree? Either the baby didn’t spend much time with mom or the degree is a joke, because I have a really hard time imagining having the energy to work on a serious master’s degree in a year or less while taking care of an infant!

I would like to have seen Montana.

Is one a lot?

The only thing in the article where Apple seems remotely unhappy is they found some of the tests ambiguous and voluntarily lowered some of their scores by one level in case a third-party tests differently. So by their testing the battery life gets an A, but they’re labeling it as a B just to be safe. They might not like the labeling, but many of their flagship competitors aren’t going to be doing noticeably better than them on most of the metrics.
