If you read that article and check the latest status, the NHTSA was supposed to make a rule by 2024 and it's 2026 now. [1]
In their latest report to Congress they are not any closer to a rule because, amongst other reasons, all of the impairment detection methods are currently too inaccurate to use. [2]
I personally think it's very unlikely they will pass a rule by 2027 and that it might never get made. I think they'll just keep sending Congress a yearly update saying the same thing: "Sorry, none of the solutions work so we can't make a rule."
I'm confused, the latest LTS version of Ubuntu is 26.04 (released on 2026/04/23) and has Podman v5.7.0 (released on 2025/11/11). [1]
If they're on a 24.04 LTS release is there any reason they would be on a newer version of Podman (without jumping through hoops)? Ubuntu 24.04LTS released on 2024/04/25 and the Debian Import Freeze was on 2024/02/29.
The bleeding edge Podman release at that time was a pre-release v5.0.0-RC3 (2024/02/22) and the latest actual release was v4.9.3 (2024/02/13). That's the version Ubuntu 24.04LTS has. [2][3][4]
So aren't they on the exact version of Podman they're supposed to be on for the operating system version they're running?
The sites like tenor/giphy/klipy all convert to multiple media formats and then have meta embed properties with multiple formats.
Sites/apps like Discord sometimes consume the mp4 instead of gif or webp when embedding (and in Discord's case they're not hotlinking, I believe they're running it through their own media proxy service).
To clarify: UC San Diego is planning to build a cluster of 2000 Pixel phones for computer science class use and Google, in support, helped with a test with 20 phones.
Alaska is already in the top 8 median elementary school teacher salaries nationally, with ~$79,260 in 2025 compared to 2024 national median of $62,310 (couldn't find 2025). They were #2 and #3 in education spending as a percent of state GDP in 2024 and 2025. [1][2][3]
It would need to be more than just competitive, it would probably need to be doctor-tier "I'm giving up my life plans for this salary in Alaska" level (which is what I assume it's like for foreign labor).
It's possible they can afford it. I would think they would need to double or more their education spending (~$2.77 billion (24/25), ~45% -> wages) state wide which would be most of what the Alaska Permanent Fund pays out per year ($3-4 billion) [4][5]
I imagine it would be politically very unpopular for obvious reasons.
It's good because the legal system isn't supposed to be about sentiment or politics.
If it has bipartisan support then it should be easy for congress to do its job and pass it as a law. And it should be easy for the President to ask them to do so.
You can get a $200 to $300 microcenter cpu+motherboard+16GB DDR5 bundle [1], then $300-$400 GPU, and you'll be able to play nearly every game on the market just fine at 1080p.
I'm sure there are pre-builts using stockpiled RAM that are similar $1000 price range.
And if you buy used you can do even better. $300-400 might get you a 5060 or a 9060XT right now [2][3] but if you go used you can get something like a 3080 instead.
I play games at 1080p with a 1660 Ti and, outside of some newer UE5 games that heavily rely on frame gen for performance (Monster Hunter Wilds performance was too poor to play), everything I've thrown at it has been playable and some games even 100+ FPS.
People can't really tell. I would say you can be safest by assuming all visible flooding is too high, especially if you can't clearly see road markings.
A lot of people do monkey-see-monkey-do: observing other people driving through water and then trying to follow. Some people just go slowly until it feels too sketchy and then try to back up.
People inevitably get stuck.
The really big issue is when the road is lower in some spot and you don't expect it.
For example, in my city there is a road that will be perfectly clear until you hit a small section that's a low spot at an underpass. Cars driving too fast hit that section during a heavy rain and quickly get flooded/stranded.

As the article states, you can see in the package.json that the optionalDependencies references "@antv/setup": "github:antvis/G2#7cb42f57561c321ecb09b4552802ae0ac55b3a7a"
I'm pretty sure those commits have been removed from github:
The website's domain was created 3 months ago (site doesn't even have any entries in the wayback machine) and supposedly pulls from USDA AMS data but when I looked at reports[1][2] I didn't see double prices compared to last year.
Some prices even looked lower? But it was hard to make comparisons because of report structure and data disparity.
Set text size as preferred, underline links (or not), turn off display name styles (or not), ui density compact or default, chat message display to compact, space between message groups 0px, turn off all the animated emojis and gif animation stuff if you want.
In client use, there's a button to hide member list (or not).
You can definitely make discord look like a slightly less dense IRC client (mainly because of the channel picker) if you want. And if you want to go really crazy use it in a browser and userscript customize it or use betterdiscord.
I think a lot of the features like embeds and emoji reactions add a lot of value compared to IRC (which I think is also why the IRC world is trying to add those features).
The graphic in the article seems to be the only significant content.
Based on that I think it's more about requests from bots/scrapers having the greatest chance possible of hitting a cache before hitting the blog's origin/real host. Bots will hit some layer of Cloudflare first then they'll hit Fastly and then if not in Fastly they'll hit the Ghost blog's server.
To me, this makes a lot of sense if it's self-hosted but I also thought it was already the standard to shove your self-hosted blog behind a reverse-proxy and cache as much as possible.
And I'm not a professional web developer but all the extra caching layers for a static personal blog seem a bit overkill.
Aside from the graphic, the article is a lot of words about engaging with an LLM to get a full understanding of how caching works for their blog hosting and how it enabled them to change their setup for the better.
It's kind of hard to understand because there are no words about what they actually did or how what they actually did was better.
