That's because what we need is deregulation of cannabis, not "legalization". You need only look at the massive tome of over 200 pages that California has proposed to regulate recreational marijuana starting in 2018 to see what the issue is. Laws and regulations have their place in society to a certain degree. Our country has gone way, way overboard as far as laws and regulations are concerned. This massive over-litigation on every level acts as a massive drain on our resources, our economy, and our society as a whole. Any regulations "needed" for cannabis should be able to fit on a single sheet of paper - but we would be far better off if the government had no role at all. The burdensome, poorly-written, oft-conflicting tangle of regulations written by unintelligent politicians at the behest of their wealthy donors do far more harm than good in most cases, and certainly as it regards cannabis. It isn't some sort of an accident that startup costs for regulatory compliance are massive - that's the whole reason for their existence. We are $21 trillion dollars and debt on the federal level and saturated with even more debt on every level from state to county to village. Our bridges and roads are falling apart, our pensions are underfunded and every year more Americans slide into poverty. Not only is the nanny state a terrible idea, but its an idea that we no longer afford - especially when the nanny is a corrupt Wall Street crony.
That line of thinking in regards to bomb threats is dangerously wrong. Politically motivated bombers often make warning calls to spare innocent people. Today it may seem legitimate bomb threats are rare but this was certainly not the case in the late 60's and early 70's in the US.

From the memoirs of Richard Nixon. "From January 1969 through April 1970 there were, by conservative count over 40,000 bombings, attempted bombings and bombs threats-an average of over eighty a day. Over $21 million in property was destroyed. Forty-three people were killed. Of those 40,000 incident, 64 percent were by bombers whose identity and motive were unknown."
Or just general torque in the United States. Electric vehicles still have tires that are joined to wheels which are fastened to an axle by the tightening of a nut on a threaded stud. For safety, we generally state that the nut should have X foot-pounds of torque applied to ensure it doesn't fall off. Unless Tesla et al. have suddenly decided to use a more universal standard in the states, I'd assume they still publish that value in ft/lbs, since 98% of tools designed to measure these things owned in the U.S.A. have this unit on them.
Catnip and marijuana are different enough that I wouldn't expect them to cost the same.

However, I don't see why it wouldn't be similar to growing bittering hops like the ones used by beer homebrewers.

I can buy a pound of "Mosaic" hops -- 450 grams -- for $30 at my local homebrew supply store. That's less than 7 cents per gram....

Not in the active shooter scenario. The standard approach now is to not even wait for SWAT, but to go in as soon as at least two officers are on the scene. The rationale is that active shooters usually stop killing people as soon as they get any kind of resistance, so timing is very important.

Of course "going in" does not mean shooting indiscriminately.
I think people care because when was the last time someone stabbed 546 people, killing 58 of them?

Guns are an efficient tool for killing people, much more so than knives or baseball bats.

This is, incidentally, the same reason other things that are efficient for killing people and not constitutionally proteced, like dynamite, are not something you can walk in and buy in Walmart.

> I'm missing the crucial design bits which would influence
> embeddability:

Your points are crucial but mundane. For people who have done extension and embedding with other languages like Perl, Python, Tcl, etc, what really matters for productivity and maintenance are the more subtle details.

For example, in Lua you can create _instances_ of a wrapped C function that has upvalues, which are analogous to closed-over variable slots. In other words, you can implement C callbacks as closures, a more functional-oriented approach which also generally more performant than many alternatives. In many languages to associate instance data with wrapped functions (as opposed to wrapped methods where you're always passed an instance object) you're stuck using some sort of global registry or other coarse mechanism. Lua supports many such alternatives, as well, including some novel alternatives. But the upvalue mechanism is particularly elegant and useful.

Another useful feature, which is discussed by that paper, is how Lua designed coroutines--the semantics, the implementation, and the public C API. Languages like JavaScript, Perl, and Python don't support stackful coroutines (i.e. being table to yield a coroutine from any arbitrary function, not simply the function initially invoked/resumed). They neither support them within the language nor outside the language for use by C, and with exception (a brilliantly complex Perl XS module comes to mind) you can't even begin to fake this. This is because implementations of those languages conflate the host C stack with the logical call stack of the language. And because you can neither grow the C stack nor easily yield and resume, these languages simply eschew stackful coroutines altogether. The implementation restricts the semantics they can implement at the language level.

Lua not only supports stackful coroutines, but it provides a mechanism and API for resuming and yielding a Lua/C function, all in strict ISO C. This was more limited in Lua 5.1, and made more powerful in Lua 5.2. In any event, this mechanism makes it easy to, among other things, write asynchronous I/O frameworks in Lua that behave like green threading. You don't need to pepper your code with async/await everywhere, nor do you need to create trampolines in your FFI binding code to get yield semantics from the C callback, which results in messy and complex modules.

Lua is awesome as both an extension and embedding language because it was built from the ground keeping those requirements and constraints in mind. The only serious concession most languages make for integration with C is either to avoid moving pointers, or providing a special type to wrap objects visible in C. All the rest occurs as an after thought, and while the results are often acceptable, they're just not remotely as convenient or seamless.

The biggest exception to my points above are Tcl. I find Lua more elegant and powerful, both the language and the C APIs, but Tcl deserves its due.
debit cards(not to be confused with bank cards) are closer to credit cards than ACH. in some cases - for example "signature debit" vs "pin debit" - just about identical from the flow perspective.

which is why you can use debit cards in most situations where you would use a credit card where instant check of funds availability and hold is required - e.g. hotel incidentals etc.

Yes, to some degree.

You'll notice almost everything I point out is powerful automation handed to a user that doesn't really understand it is something to be avoided.

And when I say refactor, I don't really mean "code cleanup" so much as "removing technical debt that doesn't change the current buisness logic".

Keep in mind, my original definition of "Top Performer" was someone who resented even 10% Toil and basically would rather automate it shoddily than deal with it.
Mark Blyth – Why People Vote for Those Who Work Against Their Best Interests
1. Tesla Roadster is a luxury car. It is literally order of magnitude more expensive than a common middle-class car. There's no possibility it can ever be considered as a replacement for common cars. As a toy for rich people with money to burn - sure, why not. But if we're talking about people not spending 200-250K on a car - which is vast majority of drivers - there's no point in considering such cars.

2. Again, Tesla is a luxury car, so describing it when talking about replacing common cars is pointless. Even the cheapest one is sitting on very top of what common middle-class car could cost, and it's not even released. If you want to replace common cars, you can't have cheapest model to cost $35K. There's literally no possibility most people would be able to afford that.

3. Charging from 110V would require whole night and even more. My house has one (1) dryer socket, which surprisingly is occupied by the dryer. Which leads one to think to have such car one has to undertake a costly (min. hourly rate in CA is about $100) project requiring a contractor, licensed electrician, permits, etc. And if one lives in an apartment which doesn't have built-in charging station - no chance.

4. Great to hear it, but again that was Tesla, as I understand. Can I expect the same from a car that doesn't cost six figures? I don't know. And the fact that it's simpler doesn't help much if the mechanic doesn't know it. Well, maybe it'll break down less, but we need to find out if that's still true for cheap models used in mass-driving conditions.

5. That's exactly my point - there's no developed market, so very little can be said about how it would look like. Sure, luxuries are always valued by people who are into luxuries and have money to spend. But about non-luxury market, that's different.
As a long time employee and employer in this industry all it signals to me and people like me is that you managed to survive that environment for two years. The name brand on the resume -is- worth something. Maybe more than it ‘should’ be, but that’s reality.

There's also botting and the true nuclear option, swatting.

Thanks for clarifying. I couldn't phrase it any better.
Granted that the innocent should not be shot. I don't think you'll find anyone to take the other side of that argument. Nonetheless, the question of "proving" guilt does not even enter into the consideration when the police are initially encountering a suspect. At that point it is about restoring order (making sure everyone is safe) and beginning to gather evidence. The notion "proof" having relevance in the initial police encounter with a civilian is the portion of the comment I was reacting to.

> The more I think about it, the more I like the model that Michael Wood Jr. has been promoting, "Civilian Led Policing"[1], which attempts to directly fix this impedance mismatch between police goals and community goals.

Your link has some good ideas. Maybe civilian-led policing would get la policia to stop arresting anyone for anything. How does this address how the criminal justice system has standardized on harmful practices? "war on drugs", punishment for everything, fines for people who can't afford them, etc. Police have a very difficult job thanks to mistakes made by politicians.

>Electric cars are baller. They are fun to drive.
My Tesla Roadster does not corner like a Porsche 911, it's true, but it does not matter for everyday driving, because it is so effortlessly faster than anything else on the road, when I pull away from a stoplight, whoever I want to cut in front of is 50 feet behind me.

See I drive a Miata and there is nothing like it in the electric car world. The way you zoom from corner to corner without slowing. It’s interesting that people say electric cars and fun , then quantify it by saying it’s really fast but saying nothing about the handling. The good thing about a balanced and good handling car is that you can enjoy it all the time whereas straight line speed is becoming increasing irrelevant due to traffic and zealous speeding enforcement.

Put it this way how many seconds of full throttle will get you banned?*

*in the UK where a speeding ticket of 100mph plus is a ban.
I'll double down on that one by saying most gamers know SWAT are trained killers that are more likely to use force than regular police. This is features in shooter games a lot. Especially in Call of Duty, the players have to regularly do "breaches" that hit a room SWAT-style with bad guys shot as quickly as possible. Many breaches also simulate chaos that happens where player initially has trouble identifying friend or foe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5wjHeUS1ZE

A CoD player who isn't mentally impaired or something specifically sending in a SWAT team on a target who is shot by the team should be charged first degree at the start. Similarly for anyone else that clearly knew what a SWAT team does from games, movies, or other media. Prosecution might act mercifully from there depending on the circumstances. They better know they can do first-degree, though, with enough locked up to hopefully be a deterrent.

> The costs will drop, sure, but that's not particularly relevant for performance cars.

Conversely, cost is highly relevant for non performance cars, which, from the perspective of displacing transportation petroleum use, are far more important.

Once the typical EV range reaches the limit that a person can comfortably drive without taking a long break (~300 miles?), range anxiety becomes a non-issue.

> 'climate change deniers,' on par with holocaust deniers

The number of people who will be killed by climate change in the next hundred years because we didn't act is going to make the holocaust pale in comparison. Climate change related deaths are expected to be just a little under one holocaust a year by 2030. So I think that is fair comparison.

The cost benefit ratio is incalculable.

But if you were to calculate costs:

- Renewable are generally cheaper than alternatives

- Renewable create far more jobs than would be lost

- Cleaner air is undeniably linked to healthier people

- And we save one hollocost a year

I used to be agnostic as the other poster puts it too but this is ridiculous. The steps we need to take not only will definitely help the climate but also help the economy and health. It is a win-win-win even if the models are completely wrong, which I doubt.

I think the turning point for me is when I learned sea levels are rising FASTER than the models predicted. Are you going to wait until the water is at your door to believe it is real?
Here in Virgnia they have police set up on the north side of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Alot of contraband moves to NYC via US Highway 13 North and the police are pretty good at spotting smugglers. Coming out of the tunnel you are in a pinch spot and they use this area for recon.
The tax on cigarettes in NYC is so high they smuggle from Virginia. Lot of guns move the same route and the NYC people keep complaining that we have weak enforcement.

I don't think I understand what scenario you're talking about. If you're talking about the scenario I posted a video of, I think you are completely off base.

If you're talking a cop straight-up murdering someone, and it getting covered up, then, of course, that's wrong.

I think there is a lot of gray area between these two scenarios, however. I also think if there was a ban on guns that would solve most of it.

Main memory is significantly slower to access than in-processor registers.
