Can they sue, and if they do are they likely to win? My laymans gut feeling is they will lose because the constitution says nothing about the government being required to provide press access to facilities. However, if they allow access to one organization but not another seems there could be an argument that they're policing speech? Would be great to hear a more informed take.

I'm saving this for Advent Of Code 2025.
Overlapping intervals were a question back in 2023 so yeah, it's useful

Doing this today I'd just have a std::function parameter and have callers pass in a lambda. I may use a third party std::function that doesn't have the weird copy semantics though

Very impressive. The economic angle is a bit confusing. Wonder why China thought this was a worthy investment. Guizhou is a poor part of China, without much international tourism or trade.
Wikipedia indicates it is meant to increase tourism, but even China's most attractive regions (Beijing, Shanghai, Great Wall, Chengdu, Chongqing) are under-visited. I can't imagine that Guizhou will be on foreign tourist's agenda for at least a couple of decades. I think this is an attempt by the local govt. to get more internal tourism. It might work out. We'll see.
Having spent a lot of time in Japan, construction there was a way to provide money to poor regions. You build some big project and pay people good wages and encourage growth of local industry. Not saying it's good or bad but the economics may be secondary to these goals
sour-taste commented on Boeing has started working on a 737 MAX replacement wsj.com/business/airlines... · Posted by u/bookofjoe
I'm pretty ignorant here, but as I understand it
* The design time on a new plane is going to be tens of years
* Boeing is already losing customers to Airbus as a result of the max disaster, doors blowing off, etc.
* The major thing keeping Boeing in business is long delivery time orders of their older planes, and those are drying up
Given these things can this help them in time?

Is there a good public list of Flock Safety cities? Would be particularly interesting to see where they are in blue states.
Because it's relevant to many on this site, most bay area cities are users

sour-taste commented on Rail travel is booming in America economist.com/united-stat... · Posted by u/martinpw
Bikes can work great for travelers aged from, say, 13 to 70 without much luggage. Not so great for travelers outside that age range, with more luggage, or with physical disabilities. I wonder what fraction of travelers falls into the latter category.
I agree standard bikes are a poor fit for luggage. There are cargo (e)bikes that can comfortably hold large bags (e.g. https://larryvsharry.com/products/ebullitt). They may make sense at major rail stations, but the logistics of keeping them in stock at the station would be hard, and of course this doesn't solve the infrastructure or physical disabilities/age problem.
