잃어버린 낭만을 찾았다…그것도 일본 양아치들에게서 [오마주] www.khan.co.kr/article/2025... "그런데 갑자기 ‘시큐리티’라고 써진 옷을 입은 경비원들이 등장해 두 사람의 싸움을 말립니다. 이 학교에는 일촉즉발의 상황을 막기 위해 싸움을 말릴 경비원이 상주 중입니다. 그렇게 말려진 두 사람 입에서 나온 말은 가히 놀랍습니다. “앉으라고, 여기 사랑하러 왔잖아.” ‘훅’ 하고 들어오는 로맨틱한 말에 웃음을 참기 어려워집니다."

It is so clear to me that Waymo, Zoox and other robocars are an existential threat to public transit, they exist to kill and devour it, every robotaxi win is a transit loss and vice versa. I'm sounding the alarm as loudly as I know how. But I feel like a Cassandra with how many urbanists won't see this.

Threads主管Connor Hayes接受訪問時指,Threads和聯邦宇宙互通的功能進入「維護模式」(maintenance mode),會繼續支援、維護這方面的功能,但不會是平台的賣點功能。坊間指Threads似乎不會在互通方面加入新功能

Threads和Fediverse互通一直充滿限制,在Threads用戶追蹤Fediverse方面數字就更少。數據顯示,2025年1月為止,在4億活躍的Threads用戶中,只有800位有追蹤mastodon.social的帳戶

the UNIX v4 tape reminded me of this story by Ali Akurgal about Turkish bureaucracy:

Do you know what the unit of software is? A meter! Do you know why? In 1992, we did our first software export at Netaş. We wrote the software, pressed a button, and via the satellite dish on the roof, at the incredible speed of 128 kb/s, we sent it to England. We sent the invoice by postal mail. $2M arrived at the bank. 3-4 months passed, and tax inspectors came. They said, “You sent an invoice for $2M?” “Yes,” we said. “This money has been paid?” they asked. “Yes,” we said. “But there is no goods export; this is fictitious export,” they said! So we took the tax inspectors to R&D and sat them in front of a computer. “Would you press this ‘Enter’ key?” we asked. One of them pressed it, then asked, “What happened?” “You just made a $300k export, and we’ll send its invoice too, and that will be paid as well,” we said. The man felt terrible because he had become an accomplice! Then we explained how software is written, what a satellite connection is, and how much this is worth. They said, “We understand, but there has to be a physical goods export; that’s what the regulations require.” So we said: “Let’s record this software onto tape (there were no CDs back then—nor cassettes; we used ½-inch tapes) and send that.” Happy to have found a solution, they said, “Okay, record it and send it.” The software filled two reels, which were handed to a customs broker, who took them to customs and started the export procedure. The customs officer processed things and at one point asked, “Where are the trucks?” The broker said, “There are no trucks—this is all there is,” and pointed to the tape reels on the desk. The customs officer said, “These two envelopes can’t be worth $2M; I can’t process this.” We went to court, an expert committee examined whether the two reels were worth $2M. Fortunately, they ruled that they were, and we were saved from the charge of fictitious export. The same broker took the same two reels to the same customs officer, with the court ruling, and restarted the procedure. However, during the process, the unit price, quantity, and total price of the exported goods had to be entered—as per the regulations. To avoid dragging things out further, they looked at the envelope, saw that it contained tape, estimated how many meters of tape there are on one reel, and concluded that we had exported 1k to 2k meters of software. So the unit of software became the meter.

“명절도 아닌데…” 고속철도는 오늘도 매진, 대책은 돌려막기? www.khan.co.kr/article/2025... "평택~오송 구간은 중부권에서는 서울, 용산, 수서발 열차가, 남부권에서는 부산·광주·목포·여수·진주·마산발 열차가 모두 지나가는 구간이다. 하루평균 190대만 운행이 가능하기 때문에 열차를 새로 투입할 수조차 없다. 앞서 한 차례 예타 탈락으로 사업이 지연된 뒤 문재인 정부의 ‘국가균형발전 프로젝트’에서 예타 면제 대상 사업으로 선정돼 2023년부터 공사가 진행 중이다."

황제펭귄 번식지서 새끼 70% 죽은 비극…"빙산이 길 막아 굶어" (영상) www.dongascience.com/news.php?idx... "난센 빙붕에서는 바람이나 파도로 해마다 빙산이 떨어져 나와 바다로 유입된다. 이번 빙산의 크기가 이례적으로 크진 않은 것으로 분석된다. 지구온난화가 가속되면 빙붕에서 빙산이 떨어져 나오는 빈도가 늘어날 수 있다."
