One of the ways to deal with this is to provide a positive assertion that includes the asker - "we shall need to work it out". "I don't know" is negative, reflects solely on yourself, and provides no path forwards.
Wow, you are so confident when you provide literally zero evidence to back up your claim either.

Though that's not what I was addressing. I was addressing the criticism of universal healthcare that we'll somehow run out of doctors. The issue is it costs money for a school to run a med school. Making the government pay for it enables more med schools to be built.

This. Somebody already filled an issue https://github.com/Microsoft/FASTER/issues/2
Better nutrition would help a whole lot. It is more effective and more humane than the drugs we prefer. If psychoactive drugs help a mental health issue, you can assume it has medical roots for at least a portion of the problem. Treating the medical roots, which can include various infections, is a good path forward.

There used to be an article online called "Diseases of the mind." One thing it talked about: When antibiotics were invented, thousands of people in asylums were successfully treated for syphilis and then set free. Another point it made: Mental illness tends to occur in demographic clusters exactly like infectious disease, which implies it might actually be due to infectious disease.

Let me suggest this for a little related reading:

Being homeless and helpless is crazy-making. I want to help people start making money, setting goals, etc while still homeless, like I did.

Video from The Loneliness Project:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYc85A8f2CM

It's aimed at the issue if isolation in the elderly. Homeless people also suffer from social isolation.

It's late. I'm tired. I will add that not all personal problems are about being crazy. Some people have learning disabilities or other barriers to regular employment.

I feel like this answer really sucks because of the framing of the problem in this subthread. I have tried to answer your actual question, which is a legitimate question, but I think the problem is more complicated than that.

:/
I like bread. I like wheat noodles.

As a child I was allergic to all dairy products with serious eczema from head to toe, even a drop of dairy would initiate it, entire body covered in scabs, arms in wet bandage inner-wrapping, dry outer bangage should I get exposed to even a little milk product. Yet I do not want all dairy products to be banned, they bring valuable nutrition to diverse groups of people, I was just unlucky, but very lucky to be born in a country with a health service that cares.

Wheat is a wonderful food, extremely nutritious, that has been the cornerstone of the development of multiple civilisations.

Why eradicate it? Just avoid it.

As a rubber tramp, I have EBT/SNAP (for the next 2-3 months until the Republicans take it away), 2 propane burners and Costco but no fridge (it needs servicing). It’s often buy fresh as-needed, which is expensive, or buy things that keep like protein bars and bag of rice/lentil/quinoa. Giving homeless people canned goods is a waste because they usually require can openers or are too heavy for the amount of food contained.

Grocery Outlet and WinCo often have hydroponic LiveLettuce for cheap that keeps for a long time. Apples and some citrus last. I wish I had fresh tomatoes, they’re so good. Fresh tomato, basil, onion and garlic salad is to die for: see FrenchGuyCooking on IG. If I had a solar-powered hydroponic greenhouse trailer, I’d grow all of my own vegetables. One modern adaptation is some farmer’s markets take EBT and offer extra incentives... which all well-and-good if you have refrigeration.

The bigger problem in the produce industry is the parallels with swipe dating apps: optimizing for looks, but not taste or nutrition... hence why store-bought vegetables taste like cardboard. As an example, a former coworker had a job at one of those fruit stands. Blemished fruits and vegetables were fine to eat but wouldn’t sell, so they went into pies and soups. It seems to me shrewd farmers and shoppers would find a way to rate/compete produce, shorten the supply chain and deliver naturally-ripened food.

Finally, a Russian hustler friend of mine fregans all sorts of stuff: steaks, salads, takeaway meals, whatever. I should do that more TBH because expiration dates are very conservative.
I agree with what others have said, that there is no best system/framework because it depends on the use-case. But I haven't seen Sphinx (which I'm currently attempting to use) here, so I'll mention it. It's often used for web-based docs but has built-in PDF output via pandoc. The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python is one example of a book produced with it:

Worth noting that probabilistic reasoning via approximations are actually pretty cool. Its just that the same sort of thing that makes them great is also a thing which makes them terrible. The upside of not being thorough is being fast and the downside in being fast is not being through.

I find it neat that the person arguing for speed is employing heuristics which short circuit reading.

A great way to look at human biases is through the lens of the good they cause. It makes them all make sense in a way that looking at them through the lens of failure cases doesn't. The world is awe inspiring in its complexity and coping with that efficiently and in real time requires trade offs. Catch the same person who appears delusional in one real-time context at a time wherein they can think for longer and their thinking can become much more logical and mathematical.
Yes, don't fund students, fund schools. The government shouldn't pay tuition bills, it should ban tuition for schools receiving public funding.

Though I question why an AEI schill should be considered a credible source on anything.
> It would be a large increase in government intervention, but those like Alex Jones and his supporters would see that as a huge gain in liberty

I've got no cognitive dissonance on this issue and to me it doesn't matter which govt. takes over. The state is the state and you want less of it, never more.

> A liberal government does the complete opposite, it's authority in leadership comes from the people which are assumed to be independent sovereign agents.

Nope. No such thing as a liberal government. It is an oxymoron as far AFAIC. Government by its very definition requires that the people give up some freedoms and allow a degree(large or small) of state intervention. I want less of it. Only the judiciary & law enforcement - and even then, way less of it than we have now. Everything else people should do for themselves at absolute local levels or even better, at the familial level. The King was the original sin but I'll still take a monarchical govt. over a democratic govt. any day.

Why did you abandon ancap ideology? I get that it may not be plausible to attain it in its entirety, but I still view it as an ideal - something to aspire to and get as close as possible to. Ideals are good to have because they act as a north star of sorts.
In some European supermarkets, you can borrow a scan gun and scan things as you put them in your bag. Then you use the self checkout machine for payment. Sometimes you get flagged for verification, and an employee has to scan X random items. It's very smooth, especially with card-only terminals.
That is exactly why this is funny :). You have to dif. expected and actually were able to find. From my understanding only the CTO would more or less actually fit the description.
Yes I suppose you're technically correct. But government grants hardly pay for poor people's education, especially considering they trap them in the cycle of being unable to pay for books and food without earning too much to lose the grant.
It seems that industries have become negative-sum games.

In the software development industry, there is a similar problem; SaaS services have been replacing free open source solutions even though they are expensive and they take away flexibility from those who use them.

Advertising has become too powerful - It allows for-profit companies to use big VC funding to fund campaigns to trick people into making bad decisions. They end up paying more for the same thing.

In effect, they're changing the world for the worse but they're packaging it nicely.
There are some fruit juice places that do use everything. Growing up we toured a couple local farms that would outright use all oranges no matter what. It was kinda gross to watch but I guess that’s part of learning where food comes from.

It’s probably more of a cost thing for the large companies. Just cheaper to only use a certain grade to entire their product is consistent.

The IPv4 equiv cannot and does not happen because of address pool size.

Most ISPs charge extra for a fixed IPv4; and many default to CGNAT which makes it impossible to correlate even within a 10 minute period.
> Only the judiciary & law enforcement

What is the purpose of the judiciary and law enforcement if there is no legislative power? If there are no laws for the former to apply and the later to enforce—which is the case if there is no authority to create law—then they are pure waste.
They could also be receiving less social support to seek help and when they do are less likely to be taken serious because of gender stereotyping.
It's not small farmers that this is helping though. The article quotes Imperfect Produce as saying they need to be able to take at least a truckload of produce off a farm each week for it to be economical, so they don't deal with small farms. This is helping the large agribusinesses, not the mom and pop farms.
You'd think, right?

Government loans aren't a tax on those who don't need them, who are the very people who should be taxed the most.

Same old tired argument. Free speech is sacred, we are regressing to the middle ages, bu-but the Enlightenment!, etc.

Read some Wittgenstein for a change: https://daily.jstor.org/wittgenstein-whether-speech-violence...

"Why do we describe hurtful words as a punch to the gut or a slap to the face? For so long, the free speech debate has been built upon an incoherent premise: that speech is powerful enough to solve social ills, but can’t inflict as much damage as a fist."
> These key tropes—“we will not tolerate” and “this is not a debate”—are now frequently deployed to curtail discussion of issues deemed to be taboo, invariably to “protect” people deemed vulnerable from speech deemed hateful.

The point is that denying trans people (for example, as they're targeted the worst by both rightwingers, "centrists" and some lefties aka trans-exclusionary radical feminists) the right to choosing freedom over their bodies is a direct attack on their basic human right to exist. Either one supports letting trans people live in peace or one does not - and the latter position is directly and actively intolerable in a society that calls itself "civilized" and "respecting human rights".

There is no valid position in any society that denies a group of people the right to exist. We had that already with the Nazi regime and with Stalin's Soviet Union, no need to repeat history again.
>That's actually correct. The stock market is a mechanism for investment to be transferred from less productive uses to more productive use

No it is not. Imagine a stock market consisting of two people and a single certificate representing a corporation. Now imagine both people constantly trying to sell to each other that certificate at a higher price and buy the certificate at a lower price. This is essentially a scaled down version of the stock market. Nothing of value is created, only a game is played similar to gambling.

You can scale this example up to thousands of companies each divided up into shares with thousands of people making transactions, the principle is the same. The act of a transaction is just paper and money being traded. Without farms, food and factories no utility producing action is happening. Issuing stocks can generate utility, but trading stocks generates nothing because you are trading paper.

>That doesn't follow. Just because wheels are very useful, doesn't mean wheels are the only thing that need be produced.

It does follow. You can have an economy of farmers, factories and other products WITHOUT stocks. Because these things are the primary drivers of an economy.

You cannot have an economy of just a stock market without physical goods because the stock market is just an abstraction on top of what is essentially the true nature of an economy: the exchanging of products with utility. A stock certificate only represents utility.

>No, they are not. Ideas and execution have value, too. That's why, for example, libraries have value - in the form of the information in the books, not the physical manifestation of the books.

What does it take to form an idea? You need to feed yourself food to sustain yourself, you need energy from the physical world to formulate the idea.

And it doesn't stop there, an idea by itself has no utility until it is deployed into the physical realm as a physical product or service.

The formation of an idea up to it's crystallization into the physical world involve the injection of energy. THe process from beginning to end involves the reversal of entropy.

The ideas in a library took energy to form. Additionally even the storage of those ideas require physical tomes in order to be set in stone. An idea, like utility is not as ephemeral as you think. All ideas take physical space to store whether it be on a hard drive, your brain, or the pages of a book.
Scheduling theory says you need idle units to take up required work, otherwise your latency increases by the time remaining for the next task completion.

Given how poorly people multitask, I'm surprised things like devops aren't over-filled so that failures that need responding to don't affect schedules.
You don't understand. We should have a global government, and then regulate software all over the world at the same time
Have you had a look at Apple iBooks author? https://www.apple.com/ibooks-author/
A couple of reasons.

One was that I tried to do it on an Indian site, Make my trip, and the email address for privacy they had on their site did not work. [This one has](https://www.makemytrip.com/legal/privacy_policy.html) email id listed as 'privacy@go-mmt.com' but the mail bounces when sent to this id. So, they complied in the name only, and wanted to see if others did as well.

second, I am curious as to what data these guys store on their customers. We saw the kind of data spotify stores, which has a lot of depth. If travel companies are storing a lot of data, this could give me another data point whether or not to use the sites in incognito mode (they dont function if you disable cookies).

Also, the more pertinent question is that if they have a lot of data and really rich user profiles, why have the OTA sites not evolved much in the last six seven years? (the new ones try to, but I think they rarely raise a big round in B2C unless they are doing something like Airbnb. Probably because of the consolidated market.)
The fundamental difference is this. With locking, when a thread’s time slice expires while holding a lock, the dispatcher switches to a different thread and no other thread can gain that particular lock until the dispatcher resumes the thread holding the lock.

No locks means this can never happen.
I'm not sure. I get the impression with such old-school macro languages (like M4) you have to use a lot of quoting tricks, evaluation order hacks, and use low level primitives like divert and dnl to build up even the simplest of useful things. Many scripts seem to start by inventing a looping construct.

While modern templating systems (like Jinja2 or T4) use a proper programming language (like Python or C#) so using even high-level constructs and complex data models is trivial.
> Technical rules are about what we "can" do.

And legal is about what recourse we can seek afterwards, when we understand we've messed up the implementation and security had failed.

Relying on legal protections alone is absurd. Relying on technology without any legal recourse for failures maybe somewhat less so, but still not suitable for this "real" world we live in. Not without reconsidering our approaches and attitudes to way too many things.

"why do people who are poor buy so many lottery tickets?"

Answer, all people buy lottery tickets at the same rate for tickets which might materially change their life. If you are rich, spending 20 bucks for a 1 in a million chance to win 10k is not going seem worthwhile.

The problem food stamps are solving is to keep a lid on the brow beating from taxpayers toward the poor. It is a mild form of punishment masquerading as help. It would be cheaper, easier, and more effective to just give cash (and because it would be cheaper, you could give more).

The main issue poor people have in managing money, is simply that they do not have enough.
Stanford has/had a strong AI group, SAIL, that got passed around and now resides affiliated with GSB. When I was at SMI/BMIR, they had an old SAIL sign over in MSOB.
Food stamps don’t suck just because they don’t solve all your problems. Rather, they solve a baseline universal need, and they do it in an extremely attractive way which is even better than handing cash.

A lot of people don’t realize that “food stamps” are just a debit card that you use to checkout at the supermarket, yes, even Whole Foods. There are some limits to what you can buy, but generally speaking if it’s unprepared food you can pay for it with the food stamp debit card.

I was on food stamps for a short while. While the value of the balance wasn’t literally cash, it was equivalent because I was spending at least that much on groceries anyway. You can also carry a balance forward from month-to-month so there’s never a need to spend it down wastefully. It’s only about $100/person/month so it’s never too much for just food.

Food stamps have low administrative overhead and low levels of fraud. It’s a government program I have very few gripes about, which is indeed saying something.

And it’s not a small program either, around $100B per year (less in the last couple years due to very strong employment numbers).

It's perhaps a problem where you live. I've never had any problems with any of them in Belgium. As misterman101 said, you can either borrow a scanner and then put it back. Or do it all at once at the self-checkout which is almost always faster than waiting in line for a checkout.

I vastly prefer self-checkouts, I hate having to hurry up at the checkout just so the person after me doesn't have to wait for me to put everything in my bag. Let me take it slow, I honestly hate the "normal checkout".
