“When bridges don’t have weight restrictions”
There are 25,437 bridges in PA. 9.59% of them were rated in “poor” condition last month, with only 34.37% of them being “good”
Do you really want that extra weight on those bridges

TikTok is feeling emotional damage over the market crash

My TikTok For You page is generally a wonderland of soothing cooking videos, lesbian carpentry, dieticians frothing at the mouth at fitness scams, and whatever it is @yoleendadong is up to.

The Halo Infinite Players Who Look Amazing Without Spending A Penny
Since its launch in November, much hooplah has been made about Halo Infinite’s customization options. Between the dearth of variety in free options (too many grays) and the sticker prices of paid options (too many $$$s), there’s a sense that looking great in 343 Industries’ popular multiplayer shooter costs money.

Google could bring the fight to Roku and Amazon with an even cheaper Chromecast
Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge
Google is working on a lower-end Chromecast with Google TV that would slot in below its current model in price — and also video resolution. According to Protocol’s Janko Roettgers, the upcoming, cheaper Chromecast will run the same Google TV software as the existing hardware and will still include a remote control. But it will be limited to a maximum of 1080p video quality.
Playing to that limitation, Protocol believes Google might market the device as “Chromecast HD with Google TV,” similar to the branding of Apple’s Apple TV HD. The product would be marketed towards consumers with 1080p TVs who don’t necessarily care about having the very best picture quality. Other specs mentioned in the report include a maximum of 2GB RAM and 60fps...

The Surface Duo is getting Android 11 at last. | Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge
At the beginning of this month, my colleague Monica Chin published an article with the headline “It’s 2022, and the Surface Duo still doesn’t have Android 11,” pointing out that Microsoft hadn’t brought Android 11 to the dual-screen phone despite having said in September that it was working on delivering the by the end of 2021. That’s finally changing, as Microsoft has begun to roll out Android 11 for unlocked Surface Duos in North America and Europe, as reported by 9to5Google.
Not every Surface Duo will be getting the update right away; if you have a Surface Duo that’s tied to AT&T, it sounds like you’re going to have to wait just a bit longer. “For locked or unlocked AT&T Surface Duos, we are testing this release and it is pending...

NASA’s revolutionary James Webb Space Telescope reaches final orbit in space
After traveling hundreds of thousands of miles through space over the last month, NASA’s revolutionary new James Webb Space Telescope performed its last big course correction maneuver this afternoon, putting itself into its final resting place in space. Now, the observatory will live in perpetuity at a distance of roughly 1 million miles from the Earth, giving the vehicle a front row view of the most ancient stars and galaxies of the Universe.
Launched on Christmas Day, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, has had a wild ride to its destination. Too enormous to fly to space in its final form, the telescope had to launch folded up inside its rocket. Once it reached space, JWST began an extremely complex routine of shape-shifting...

Tesla Cybertruck walkaround video shows the absurdly huge windshield wiper in detail
Even in handheld video, the truck looks a little unreal. | Image: Cybertruck Owners Club
We got the closest look yet at an alleged prototype of the Tesla Cybertruck, thanks to a walkaround video posted to the Cybertruck Owners Club forum (via Electrek). We get to see a good deal of the vehicle, including its giant windshield and wiper. You can watch the whole thing below.
We saw the wiper last month when a drone video captured a Cybertruck doing laps on the company’s test track in Fremont, California. Tesla CEO Elon Musk commented on the wiper at the time, saying that it troubled him and that a wiper you could stow away in the front trunk would be “ideal, but complex.” (Is getting out in the rain, sleet, or snow to put on your windshield wiper _really_ideal, though?)

Meet the auto repair professor pivoting to EVs
With the number of electric vehicles on the roads poised to skyrocket this decade, millions of drivers are going to need auto mechanics who can fix their new batteries-on-wheels. But today, the vast majority of auto repair professionals do not have the training or equipment to repair EVs, which are anatomically very different from their gas-powered predecessors.
As a result, many early EV adopters have been forced to rely on vehicle manufacturers and dealerships to service their cars — a situation that can drive up repair costs and lead to frustratingly long wait times.

Coinbase, one of the largest and most popular cryptocurrency exchanges, is adding a new tax center to its app and website to help US customers work out how much they might owe to the IRS as a result of their crypto transactions, the company has announced. The section is designed to gather every taxable transaction into one place to simplify matters come tax day.
Although cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin often appear similar to the fiat money we’re accustomed to, in the eyes of the IRS, the digital assets are actually property, according to this FAQ from the federal agency. That means cryptocurrency transactions may need to be reported as capital gains or losses, and that means keeping track of a cryptocurrency’s value as it’s bought and...

An OpenSea bug let attackers snatch Apes from owners at six-figure discounts

A bug in OpenSea, the popular NFT marketplace, has let hackers buy rare NFTs for well below market value, in some cases leading to hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses for the original owners — and hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits for the apparent thieves.
The bug appears to have been present for weeks and seems to be referenced in at least one tweet from January 1st, 2022. But exploitation of the bug has picked up significantly in the past day: blockchain analytics company Elliptic reported that in a 12-hour stretch before the morning of January 24th, it was exploited at least eight times to “steal” NFTs with a market value of over $1 million.
One of the NFTs, Bored Ape Yacht Club #9991, was purchased using the exploit...

Ditto here. The seed of truth behind “do OSS in your free time” and “work at startups” is really “practice your art” and “find groups of people that support & challenge you in that art”.
OSS and startups are just one way of accomplishing that, and they have well-known downsides!

AT&T’s new 5-gig and 2-gig fiber internet is here, starting at $110 a month
Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge
AT&T is rolling out 2Gbps and 5Gbps speed tiers for its fiber-optic internet option. The company made the announcement to kick off its Life Gigified event, where it said new and existing AT&T Fiber customers will soon be able to take advantage of these multi-gig connections.
If you don’t know what multi-gig is, it means a single connection that offers speeds higher than 1Gbps. AT&T’s new multi-gig speeds need Wi-Fi 6 technology for “optimal” performance, which means you’ll probably want to upgrade your router, and of course, AT&T has a new “All-Fi” device ready. The company may offer even faster speeds eventually; AT&T says it reached speeds of 10Gbps in a lab environment.
The 2Gbps plan will cost $110 / month, while the 5Gbps plan is...

@zkat__ I hear you. This definition makes the conversation more complicated IMO. Keeping a job and seeing reasonable career growth should be average. Not "super successful". But this is where I'm learning how things are different for people coming up behind me.

@zkat__ I don't think you were saying that. I was trying to overcommunicate that I'm not telling people they need to do that either. You have to work hard to be clear. Otherwise all people hear is "pay your dues".
@zkat__ ("kat.rs") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:
@polotek Re “super successful”—I mostly meant having a good steady job that pays a reasonable wage and makes you feel satisfied with your career growth. For a lot of people that means those six figure tech salaries with flexibility and good benefits
@zkat__ ("kat.rs") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
@polotek I absolutely do not think they’re inevitable parts of getting ahead! That’s the point I was trying to make—I don’t think they’re inevitable but I, personally, have not experienced otherwise so it’s hard for me to advise others, if that makes sense?

What does "super successful" mean here? I *don't* think all of the things listed in this tweet are an inevitable part of getting ahead. But we do have to talk about what it is people think companies are rewarding them for.

Social media conglomerate Meta is the latest tech company to build an “AI supercomputer” — a high-speed computer designed specifically to train machine learning systems. The company says its new AI Research SuperCluster, or RSC, is already among the fastest machines of its type and, when complete in mid-2022, will be the world’s fastest.
“Meta has developed what we believe is the world’s fastest AI supercomputer,” said Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a statement. “We’re calling it RSC for AI Research SuperCluster and it’ll be complete later this year.”
The news demonstrates the absolute centrality of AI research to companies like Meta. Rivals like Microsoft and Nvidia have already announced their own “AI supercomputers,” which are slightly...
