This was already pretty well hashed out (heh) during the 'core'/'cash' issue when there was an attempt to fork in an expanded the block size. Both chains still exist. Bitcoin operation is entirely up to the miners to determine the heaviest chain, and that's like two entities (the number of entities required is called the Nakamoto coefficient). It's not magic, but there is a huge cult built up around it by scammers, rubes, opportunists and speculators.
Well "Outlook (new)" finally stopped OOM-ing on my very normal-sized inbox, so I went back to using it over Outlook Classic... Can't say I notice a difference much these days.
(Not a residential inbox, the "I work in IT" sized inbox with all the email alerts about jobs failing...)
"Classic" was never very stable to begin with, and seems to be getting less stable every monthly patch cycle. Decades-old problems remain unfixed, and "new" Outlook still doesn't have all the features of the old one (or compatibility with in-house programs that use MAPI integration, or COM add-ins). "Classic" must have been such a spaghetti-fied mess that they thought they couldn't actually fix it at all and needed to replace it. But I'm not sure that's really the solution... is it ever?
We're literally right now building a huge high speed rail project that is planned to link san diego to san francisco through LA, bakersfield and fresno. Progress is made on it daily. https://www.youtube.com/CAHighSpeedRail
The initial segment in Central Valley has current date of 2032. It depends on if federal government restores funding or if California has to fund itself.
Phase 1 from SF to LA is estimated for 2035-2040. They might do end-to-end service before that with existing tracks and slower speeds, especially from Palmdale to LA. The SF and LA segments require tunneling to get over the mountains.
What's notable about the initial segment is that it parallels (and thus duplicates) an existing Amtrak service between Bakersfield and Merced. So the initial operating segment gives us zero new destinations by rail.
But, hey, you'll be able to go really fast between California's 6th and 80th largest cities!
Caltrain, from SF to SJ, is part of the California high speed rail system, and you can ride it right now. It's now electrified at 25KV, welded rail, concrete ties, and compatible with high speed rail. The Stadler trains are capable of 125MPH but are run slower because there are so many stations.
If you have something precious on home movie film, this lab in Burbank, CA that does a lot of the movies will have sometimes deals on film transfers for holidays, or you can call them for a quote. No relationship, but I did have some done and they were very good. https://www.pro8mm.com/

This says statistics, i've seen unsourced articles saying that they pull Unemployment Insurance numbers as part of it which are part of the payroll process, but BLS seems to say sampling and surveys.
I know, I've just... never found someone who says, "Oh! The BLS survey? That's meeeee! I fill it out!" Ever. Admittedly I haven't necessarily hit up any other platforms, so maybe those people don't visit HN. Totally viable explanation. But... Still pretty weird when I've been periodically poking for years now but never seem to locate anyone who even claims to know of or have been annoyed by having to implement the process of responding. Might bump this search up my todo list for hahas.
I'm ignorant of most C64 stuff being an Atari kid, but I did find this pretty impressive (it's a cheat) with seemingly 9 sprites at once. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws4twUyt-MY
The demo has brilliant pacing. When it starts with the sprites moving in a big circle, initially I'm not impressed at all, because C64 has 8 sprites per line, and changing the sprites to be drawn when the screen is halfway drawn is pretty much the first trick you learn. Then the sprites move to the top of the screen, where they are all on the same line together, and my jaw drops.
