To be fair when it comes to this kind of research comparison with modern hunter gatherer societies is the closest thing you can find to evidence, some things never enter the archaeological record.

Perhaps we'll never find conclusive evidence pointing to any one of the theories on these missing-finger handprints.

I'm not sure I understand, epub is both the industry standard and an open format, as far as I know. Why not work on using it or build it around epub from the get-go?

I have to admit I'll have to wait for the project to start implementing epub to consider getting on board, but it's still a great effort.

Any pointers on how to do this? I was thinking about doing something of the sort to some of my books which are too unwieldy to read comfortably but I can't imagine how to get a readable ebook out of this process, and pdfs always end up being too heavy for the devices I read on.

Wow, it's just so enjoyable to watch Remco in a one day race, he's so strong on these sort of climbs I'm more impressed with the others who kept up with him.

Still I think he might still be recuperating from when he fell ill at the giro, simply because he didn't drop the rest of them with 40km to go this year.
He might be in optimal form for Glasgow and the vuelta, but I'm not sure about the second one. I get the feeling his best chance at a grand tour was this year's TT heavy giro, not the upcoming, gc-rider stacked vuelta.

If I were a professional athlete I would feel in the right to refuse to shake the hand of an athlete coming from a country proven to have a state-sponsored doping program significant enough to warrant that country's flag being banned from the Olympics long before this war.

Clearly this was about the war, but let's not pretend sportsmanship was intact before this handshake debacle came to be.

Honestly I think the article is pretty fair, overall.

The biggest difference between having a massive right wing pseudo-fascist party in a government majority and that same party leading the majority is how little they feel the need to feign. Like now the right hand man of Meloni can totally bring up the craziest world conspiracy with no proof at all, say he didn't know it was a bad thing only to repeat the same things a week after.
The politicians just don't have to pretend anymore, and they're slowly stretching the boundaries of what's normal in favour of their own plans.

As for the life of everyday people, I'd be hard pressed to find someone, anyone, actually praising this government in public, everyone I hear talking about whatever they come up with is either disgusted or concerned.
I believe what's happening now is the same thing that was happening back in Berlusconi's days: the ones voting for these people are aware that what they're doing is wrong and they hide in shame until they're sure they're surrounded only by the right people.

Hadn't been able to follow a stage in a long time, I was very happy to follow this one. Nice battle for the win in the breakaway, I'm very surprised that van aert didn't get it, as at one point he seemed so strong.
Also a nice GC battle in the end. I suppose vingegaard comes out the strongest from this stage, it was very a impressive competition.

On the other hand I second what others are saying, something has to be done about those spectators.

Many people here are talking about buying an iPad and the pencil, but if all you're doing is reading papers I think this is a massive overspend. There are many inexpensive android tablets that come with pencils plenty good enough for handwriting or non-artistic drawing.

Of course, you say you have a job so you're likely not to need to buy the cheapest thing possible (even if you don't, you're not forced to buy an iPad, Samsung's tablet software is quite good), but I don't want someone with the same use case, who might just be a student, to get the impression they need to spend a grand to read pdfs.

I agree, these systems are fundamentally a very good thing and the more cars they're in, the safer we are on the road.

I just don't think they'll be substituting human beings at the wheel of cars in the near future, and I personally think it's not so good of an idea to frame it like that.
I mean, we've only automated some, not all metros all over the world, and no passenger trains at all. If we haven't figured that out yet, I can't see how self-driving cars are supposedly just around the corner.

I suppose he is betting on the public accepting these deaths as non-important glitches, and no regulation coming for Tesla. So in a very cynical sense, I suppose this profit gamble is playing out for Musk.

However, how come other car manufacturers using lidar aren't making a point out of this? It can't be out of good will, surely.

The fediverse is the best chance any of us have of experience an internet free of tech oligopolies, that's the biggest difference for me.
Of course mass adoption would make it more likely to have lively niche communities, but most importantly, I think it should be a right for people to exist on the internet without a massive corporation trying to turn them into a nutjob for monetary gain.

I'm not super happy about the way these sprints are playing out, it seems there's always a very dangerous move involved and we've just been very lucky so far.

Of course you can't sanitize sprint finishes to the point that there is no danger, but I'm not sure this is equilibrium.
