The food desert phenomenon really bugs me. But I do have hope the pendulum will swing back.

The whole paleo thing. What I jokingly call the "troglodiet". Beans, wild rice, big leafy greens. Much less meat, dairy, starchy carbs.

It's weird that cheaper is more healthy.

I really only need a pressure cooker, cutting board, knives, a few bowls, some storage. I've unloaded most everything else. I'm basically camping at home.

But I had to get more wealthy to even become aware of these options, choices.
The Taco Tuesday battles
So, this $600/ton plant sits on top of... an incinerator. So uh, they're literally starting a fire for the sole purpose of capturing SOME of the carbon and shuffling it off to... be released into the atmosphere again elsewhere in greenhouses which will not capture it.

Ugh. 𐑜𐑸𐑚𐑩𐑡 𐑐𐑰𐑐𐑳𐑤.

Why do people like this take the future of our species for granted? This isn't funny.

Upgrading was opt-in with python as well, and look at where breaking changes got them... A decade in and there's still a massive rift in the python community over 2 vs 3.

PHP is backwards compatible almost to a fault, but that doesn't mean you can't use new libraries or frameworks that hide those warts away from you, and that's a MUCH better choice in my opinion than making a significant percentage of the internet incompatible with the latest PHP so that your function arguments for a handful of old function calls can all look the same...
Ehhh... very few (if any?) major orgs that take credit cards use Letsencrypt. Many, many malicious actors do. It's the go to cert for securing malicious sites

A security team reviewing that baways.com site would definitely make note of the fact that it was using letsencrypt.
That's hilarious, I was working on https://pomax.github.io/music-theory-js/public/ over the weekend (working on adding a chord arranger to complement the cell arranger, so you can write a C3-root I–V–vi–IV as literally a "C3 I" cell with some duration, followed by just dropping in V, vi, and IV cells with some duration.

Your reaction seems a little extreme tbh.

In effect someone named a complex concept wrong. Is it not better that they wrote about it at all, then that they used the correct names for everything.

There’s some space for empathy here imo.

In this example:

macro swap {
rule { ($x, $y) } => {
var tmp = $x;
$x = $y;
$y = tmp;
}
}

var foo = 5;
var tmp = 6;
swap(foo, tmp);

the article says it expands to this:

var foo = 5;
var tmp$1 = 6;
var tmp$2 = foo;
foo = tmp$1;
tmp$1 = tmp$2;

Is that really true? The statement "var tmp = 6" appears in the source code before the place the macro is invoked. Can a sweet macro reach back and modify statements that occurred earlier in the file?
Exactly! What is the alternative "safe haven? The only alternative to US debt are hard tangibles like food, water, and weaponry (shelter was once included in the list of hard tangibles but property rights are also a fiat).

We basically have no alternative to the system of fiat currency and debt.

> The day Amazon feel threatened they can become the cheapest in the market quickly again.

> Given purchasing power scale and people like fast delivery there will only be a handful of companies that can complete with Amazon ever, so it seems unlikely there will be a 'started in the garage' business compete with them now the market is maturing.

I'd rather just walk into Target (same day pickup), Walmart (same day pickup), Best Buy (who price matches), B&H, Buy Buy Baby, Home Depot (same day pickup), Bed Bath & Beyond, or Kohls. I can't buy clothing online because I'm not willing for it to take a week to try something on, ship it back if it doesn't fit, get a different size in the mail, etc. The few bucks more at a physical store is worth it to have the size that fits today. I'm not willing to buy human consumables worried that they're counterfeit from an unscrupulous third party seller I will have no recourse against. I have to go to the Apple store for anything Apple related because I can't trust Amazon's reviews or their supply chain that what I'm receiving isn't a Chinese knock off that is out of spec. I buy SD cards and USB flash drives from Walmart because I don't trust I'll receive an authentic version from Amazon (having received many in the past that did not match advertised capacity).

I won't even buy baby formula from Amazon; I buy direct from the manufacturer, and it takes 3-4 days to get to us (cheaper than worrying its counterfeit). The horror of having to wait an extra day or two and plan ahead!

ashelmire's sibling comment hits the nail on the head: I do not trust Amazon anymore (without even touching on their labor practices). The UX is still great for me to track down products I might like or need and then go shop for them in person.

I agree completely with you, but I remember during the crisis that a large part of the outrage was directed at banks "taking advantage" of the poor by lending them sums that they couldn't hope to pay back.

I can remember a couple years later trying to buy a house and being surprised that the formula for loan size was so concrete. They didn't care what you actually spent your money on, just that your payments be no larger than 30% of your income. Because we're frugal, we could have afforded quite a bit more house than they were willing to lend to us for. Indeed, we paid way more in rent than we could get for a monthly mortgage payment. We ended up wishing that the banks had tried to "take advantage" of us because that would have meant giving us more latitude to manage our own affairs.
In a lot of ways, the current expression of the tech sector (certainly from a valuation standpoint) and the startup scene particularly feels like a consequence of the response to the financial crisis. Critics of the Fed spent years loudly worrying about how the various QE programs were going to drive up inflation. Of course, this didn't materialize, at least as measured in the usual basket of goods and services. What did happen was a broad and sustained inflation in financial assets / collapse in yields that drove everyone further out along the risk curve, with VC being the furthest point out.

The tie in to inflation is darkly amusing the because the classic precursor to inflation is wage growth. Broadly, there hasn't been any--except in the tech sector, which has seen a veritable explosion in pay from where it was a decade ago.
Right, while the above are all disgusting side effects of the shitty implementation of American drug law, I think good old fashioned American Puritanism is to blame for the original targeting.

Which of the wars following September 11 were necessary for Pax Americana?

Could it be that these wars exposed how primitive guerrilla forces can bleed the mighty American military dry? It's not like the world has seen a very convincing show of force.

I for one worry that the bluff has been called and that every dictator in the world now knows that apart from the threat of nuclear war, the American military's capabilities are far more limited than some perhaps had thought. When relatively poor and simple battlegrounds such as Iraq or Afghanistan cause trouble one or two decades on, then what could America do against more advanced enemies or against more enemies?

This is to me the biggest worry: occupying two such relatively simple countries is a challenge. The Russians, the Chinese, Iran, heck even the tiny Syrian government, can now see that America had lots of trouble with what is currently nation No 54 and nation No 111 measured by GDP. Yes, I know that GDP does not equal military strength and that the US was officially not fighting the Afghan government. But in reality, the US was fighting primitive guerrilla forces in a primitive country. And the US didn't really come out impressing anyone with their strength.
>Evolution only selected for those of us who manage to reproduce individually and societally, not for those who tend to live to a ripe old age with a minimum of misery.

Once humans developed complex societal structures, any such discussion of "evolutionary selection" borders on the ludicrous. Who reproduced and survived was (and is) far more dependent on you're relative power and status within these systems than anything even closely resembling natural selection.

It's unclear whether you know what "precedent" means in a legal context.
Outbound and inbound verification are sides of the same coin, as you need both in order to reliably track overstays. Congress has recognized this since 1996 when they first passed legislation requiring biometric entry-exit, and multiple times since then. The exit part of that has never really been implemented except for small trials.

It really isn't about replacing personnel (that another strawman you've made up, after the strawman about weapons). Rather - instead of humans (TSA agent + gate agent), it's now a human and a machine. It helps that the kind of mismatches made by CNN's are generally different from those made by humans.

> And consider that to the extent you automate security you permit automating measures to subvert the system.

I'm not sure what you mean by automating measures to subvert the system - there are financial and physical barriers (you'd need to get a hundred people or more into an airport, and buy them all plane tickets) If you have that level of resources, you're better off bribing CBP officers[1].

Companies like Costco and Wegmans are known for being socially responsible, so it's possible. Both have a strong and loyal customer base.
A few of observation/speculation:

1. Most American/European (with a few exceptions [1]) only focus on the spending cost of their own countries but less concern about the cost of the nations that the wars involved. i.e. Iraq, Libya, etc. Breaking an exiting stable eco systems have huge impact on local people. In Iraq, 200k - 600k direct or indirect death. It translated to 2 million - 6 million American if we put population into account. In Libya with a chaos satiation waves of illegal immigrants have a chance to go to Europa from the country , which changed the political scenery of many Eurapean countries. Again the cost is not counted into the war.

2.Perception defect of modern human let the war criminals being defined to only those who kill innocent people. For example Hitler is considered to be responsible for deaths of millions so he is a war criminal. This is visible to modern human mind. But most Iraqi deaths were not caused by US bombing but their killing with each other or indirect slow deaths by some other reasons , say sudden disrupt of power in a hospital. Not many modern human being consider US is responsible. I would praised the old Bush stopping the first gulf war to let Saddam survive and avoid unpredictable risk of destroying stable eco system which has worse result that more distributed deaths happen with no visible war criminals

3.(Omitted) Sorry, will be down voted so just to be brief: Assange said "Journalists are war criminals". I didn’t understand the meaning initially. But seeing so many comments here being down voted because they are not aligned with public belief, I realize that how easily the mass population can be fooled. The reason that Journalists can fool public opinion is they really report truth but only when things can be verified. Otherwise they are very likely just selling their beliefs and some time they fabricate stories to support their beliefs.

You can beat the market in two fundamental ways:

1 - Higher returns
2 - Lower volatility

Effectively, everything else is a variation on those two (e.g. same returns with lower volatility; or really low volatility, but better than the AGG; or really high returns with really high volatility (highly leveraged funds) ).

The reason this is important is because different investors want different things. If you can beat the AGG at the same or lower volatility after fees, then it doesn't matter how much you charge - people will beat a path to your door.

One interesting example is Renaissance Technologies. Several months ago I was reading through their SEC filings, and if IRC, they charge 4 & 40 ! Yes, FOUR and FORTY - to their own employees! For the record, it's a monster fund, and you can't invest in it unless you work there. Yet people will do anything to get a job there and pay those fees because the fund is so good.

I'd recommend going to the youtube Channels Rotor Riot and UAV Futures (and possibly Mr. Steele) if you want to get a nice series of well-sourced introductory materials by veteran professional drone operators.

I'm by far an amateur, and don't really have enough sim hours to fly the drone I'm just about done assembling.

But: the aerial camera gimbal is by far the hardest part to get right, and why vendors like DJI charge what they charge. Software exists to make it work, though.
> anarchy means absolute freedom

No, it doesn't. It means the absence of government. Nobody has absolute freedom; even in the absence of government, everyone has to deal with other people in some ways.

> In a completely anarchistic system, I can't trust you and you can't trust me.

This is simply false. Do you trust your friends? If so, would you stop trusting them if there were no government?

There are plenty of ways for people in the absence of government to build trust relationships with each other.

> We need an impartial third party to manage our interactions so that if one of us decides to screw the other, that person is appropriately admonished.

And you think government, as it actually is instead of as it might be in somebody's idealized model, is such an impartial third party? Surely you jest.
As I commented elsewhere credit rating agencies are not the same things as banks. Why should bank executives be prosecuted for something credit rating agencies did?
The borders of the US Empire are not physical. They are financial. It all revolves around the Petrodollar system ( https://youtu.be/JN5q_0H41VE or any other "Petrodollar explained" video on YT).

Basically the US cut a deal with the Saudis decades ago "price your oil only in US dollars and we'll support your monarchy". Bottom line is that any industrial nation that needs energy must hold US dollars to purchase oil, which vastly inflates global demand for dollars, artificially supporting our currency and also essentially acting as a tax on the global economy. US hegemony is essentially reliant on the US military keeping everyone else in line with regards to oil pricing as well as central banking. Consider:

Saddam Hussein ditched USD for EUR in 2000 ( https://www.theguardian.com/business/2003/feb/16/iraq.theeur... ). Deposed in 2003.

Iran opened a non-dollar-denominated oil burse in 2008. Promptly sanctioned and eventually cut off from the SWIFT banking system. ( https://apjjf.org/-China-Hand-/2719/article.html ) Invasion was discussed. Remember McCain's "Bomb bomb Iran" moment? But the US military was already overstretched and in no position to crack open Iran (a MUCH tougher nut than Iraq or Afghanistan).

Qaddafi wanted to create a new pan-African currency, starting in Libya with gold/oil-backed dinars. Deposed in 2011. ( https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2016/01/06/new-hillary-... )

Some websites have argued that after Ukraine's revolution all their gold reserves disappeared as well, possibly into US/European hands. I haven't found super-reliable data on that though.

Point is, these are the borders of the empire, one that is maintained by the global distribution of US military might, as well as international organizations such as the IMF. Before anyone can posit solutions to American's bank-busting spending on the military-industrial complex, you must first understand the hidden context of what really motivates American actions on the world stage.

See my responses to bena and PeterisP downthread.
The question in my mind is "who is we." Where we is "we the people," or somesuch acting through our medical establishments.. we get what we have. Medicalizing & treating as we do other ailments. The reason we use drugs instead of talk or behavioural therapies is because they are cheap or rather that recurring 1-on-1 therapy is very expensive.

What does treating this systemically mean? We are increasingly treating mental health as systemic/epidemic problems via the medical systems. However, this generally means doing more diagnosing and treating of mental health in the same way.

There isn't really an embodied "we" that makes decisions and takes actions at a cultural level. That is, no way of changing how people interact with eachother individuals doing it.

A religious society might have a church that could do this. A local cleric could (for example) try and relieve loneliness in her community.

I don't know of any body that could really affect how work culture works.

Some things just develop in societies and "we" just don't act as a non-metaphorical "we." Cultural change works this way, mostly.

If we're talking about a "we" that's me, you and a few other people, then we could definitely do a lot about mental health for some people.

That's an... interesting.. take.. There's a slice of that which is probably accurate, or at least something we could have a legitimate discussion about. However there's a lot of very REAL mental illness that is extremely detrimental to the people suffering from it, and from those around them, that has nothing to do with societal norms (in the way you mean). I'd also point out that the DSM isn't just used by psychiatrists (who give medicine) but is used by courts, psychologists, therapists, etc... who are dealing with treatment and therapy outside of prescribing drugs...
>1) The day Amazon feel threatened they can become the cheapest in the market quickly again.

Can they? They aren't the ones selling those products, individual companies set their own prices - and they have to pay a cut to Amazon. Even if that cut goes to 0 (making Amazon lose lots of money), that only puts them at barely better than the rest of the market. Walmart sets its own prices.

>2) Given purchasing power scale and people like fast delivery there will only be a handful of companies that can complete with Amazon ever, so it seems unlikely there will be a 'started in the garage' business compete with them now the market is maturing.

I think this has been proven wrong time and again. There's always a way into the market.

>3) With the extra profit Amazon are making vs a competitors they can develop and buy technologies or business to keep a moat around them for a long time.

Just the same way every other company has maintained an iron grip on every market it's in...?

History repeats itself, companies rise and fall, and they gain and lose market share even when they have an endless supply of money.

The most important part of running a business like Amazon is consumer trust - and Amazon is playing a losing game right now.
Oh no, that was well from harsh.

I'm fine calling that guy smug, because that's an extremely smug thought.

Also, you do have an internalized bias against McDonald's and you just showed it. To you, a restaurant isn't "a place that serves food" but "a move expensive establishment..." That's not to say you're a bad person, just that you're shifting definitions from what something objectively is to what you think something should be.

Here in the US, restaurant workers across the board are not paid enough and there are massive labor issues tied to the industry. Fast food workers especially are treated abhorrently because "that's not even a real restaurant" or "that's a job for a kid to get out of high school".

I'll fully admit that my past influences my thoughts on the matter, but what I'm trying to do is say that this sort of behavior isn't cool, and remind people that these places are often franchises run by a guy employing people from your neighborhood.

McDonald's food is objectively of a lower quality than that of other restaurants. It's still a restaurant, no matter how dismissive people want to be.
