I've seen people kept around for that exact reason in govt contracting. For example, one employee never pulled her weight, and managers always wanted to fire her, but she was a black senior citizen. Since she allowed them to check off 3 diversity boxes when bidding for govt contracts, the company wouldn't let anyone fire her, so she kept getting promoted because that was the only way the managers could get her off their team.

Starting with (let us say) World war two, cities and states built out substantial, publicly funded roads and road networks in order to connect up newly developed sub-urban centres that were designed for car owners

In the United States, it was somewhat more complex than that. The highway network was and is primarily part of the nation's military defense infrastructure, so that weapons and personnel can be moved around in a time of crisis. (Something from Germany that impressed the U.S. during WWII.)

This is why the system is named after a general who was also a president ("The Eisenhower Interstate Highway System").

It's also the reason why the rails are not usually removed from abandoned railroads anymore: So they can be rehabbed in an emergency.

There's also a lot of social studies involved, including the baby boom.

Like all large human endeavors, it's messy.

[Edit to add:]

Would private roads, paid for collectively by the developers or residents of those suburbs, have helped to alleviate or reduce the problems outlined above?

One of the many contributing factors to the U.S. Civil War was the notion that the North wanted to shed its remaining privatized roads and federalize the whole thing, while the South wanted entirely private road systems.

Email: kevin [at] kevinywu.com

I'm graduating from UT Austin (B.S. Computer Engineering) in December! I've also been doing webdev in one form or another for about nine years now. My biggest personal projects to date are a cloud-hosted note-taking app [0] and the compiler for a programming language [1] built out of frustration with JavaScript. I've had a (tech) internship every summer since I began my undergrad and now I'm looking for full time work. Ideally I'd work at a relatively small company with a product that benefits people, especially creators, on an individual level (Bandcamp and Automattic spring to mind first), but any workplace where I'd get to apply my skills to real-world production would be great!

> But it also means the company becomes very adversarial with their work-force and spends most of its time trying to figure out how to get around the demands of the union.

Companies don't become more adversarial when they deal with a union - what happens is that the union shines some sunlight on any existing adversarial relationships.

When your boss asks you to work an extra hour without pay, and you tell him to pound sand, pointing at union rules, the union looks like a bad guy. Rolling over to his demands, because you lack union protection, is, for some reason, not considered 'adversarial.'
> Can go a whole day working from home without power

Perhaps mine has a defect, but I feel lucky if I can get 2-3 hours of solid work done.

> So not sure what apps you are using that this happens with.

The various windows settings are split between both modes and by default the settings window will open maximized. Also, there are two latest versions of OneNote (which is annoying) for example and the UWP one likes to open fullscreen. I think all UWP apps do.

> WSL has no gaps where I need it.

- I believe if you clone a git repo in WSL and then try to use git for windows or any windows app like VSCode or Visual Studio, it'll get very confused.

- Also I think I remember having several weird file permission issues.

- My WSL terminals open very slowly due to something in my bashrc I haven't pinned down (my terminals open lightning quick in iTerm2 or ubuntu.) And performance in WSL is a good deal slower than an ubuntu VM or native Windows.

> I just unpinned everything from the start menu

I'm sure this works, but there are enough annoying issues like this in default Windows 10 that it really hampers the experience.
Had to deal with a firewall that filtered all unknown/"new" HTTP headers. This included CORS.

A PITA to find the reason why Firefox wouldn't use the Google fonts.
I agree, the Nix approach makes lots of problems go away, but you have to be bought in first. I wrote something distinct a few months back which overlaps on the "we can be smarter about layers" thing[0].

Google folks worked on "FTL", which is a technique for determining layering by reasoning about packaging system information. Jib[1] is one such system. There is a view that it will be possible to use FTL implementations or derivatives as buildpack components in the future.

Yes, Buildpacks are trusted maintained bash scripts. In that way, as you mention, they're better than random bash scripts. That doesn't make them novel. I know you said nothing is new, and I presume you mean completely new, but there's not a single novel thing about this.

Another poster on this thread is using the term 'invented'. Another is describing them as a 'technology' that needs to be understood. Describing a bootstrap script this way sets an incredibly low bar for DevOps.
You are using an experience of a "mentally stable" person to dictate the treatment of "mentally unstable" people.

The effects of Ritalin on a non-ADHD person are the opposite to what happens when an ADHD person takes them.

I appreciate the spirit behind your message however.

I think we are at the point where we can start research with mentally unstable people. It has been shown that there is little permanent issues from taking LSD or Mushrooms responsibly.

The alternative is for the idea agent to send the Origin header on all requests.

Then the server responds with 200 or 403.
That's how I felt in the beginning. However, now that they are open to selling data to drug companies...I'm not so sure my data is going to be used strictly to benefit humanity.
No its not useful. Its a fun curiosity and thats about it.
Yes, that irony was not lost on me either. I was thinking that someone should introduce Google's left and right hands to each other.
Food has pretty much the most inelastic demand curve imaginable. There's no way that agriculture will disappear without subsidies. Prices might increase, sure. But anyone who has any money will pay whatever prices are necessary when the alternative is literally starving to death.

If you're referring to agriculture disappearing from the US, that definitely wouldn't happen either. Some of it might, but not the majority. Most countries don't heavily subsidize farming to the extent that we do, and transportation costs are non-trivial, especially for fresh produce or anything that needs freezing.
Trips often elevate beyond dualistic thinking. Common dualistic spectrums include good and bad, light and dark, heaven and hell, wet or dry, dead or alive, human and non-human, space or time...

The experiences are ineffable and unlike anything perceived by prior physical sense. The integrative aspect - taking the ecstatic vision and letting it into daily life - is an ongoing process which often takes up to a year. And so good or bad is too simplistic a lens in which to judge the psychedelic experience.

Moments of sheer terror, perceiving the blackest of black, are common. So too are moments of pure bliss and the sensation of limitless loving grace. These become trivialized by the overall experience, which is powerful enough to fully reorient a person's understanding of what it means to be a human being.

The result depends heavily on the pre-existing mental framework that engages with the medicine. For example, people from traditional western religious backgrounds may manifest demons, angels, and heaven and hell within their experiences -- if that is what _they feel they need to experience_ in order to realize the intention that they have brought with them into the ceremony.

My personal view revolves around the entrenchment of an individual's ego. Those who meditate and who have comfort with nondualistic thinking tend to ride the wave better than those who have very rigid conceptions of their self identity and its resultant patterning.

A rewarding read was the academic 'Antipodes of the Mind', a phenomenological study from cognitive scientist Benny Shannon. It is the most rigourous resource that addresses the wondrous weirdness of the Ayahuasca experience.
Who mentioned intelligence? This is about skills, a far more valuable and meaningful thing to measure.
To repeat myself

The author of this piece is basically just a competitor in the SAME market. Literally. You can sign up for 16 weeks of BeetBox for a mere 530 bucks (I'm being facetious if it's not entirely obvious... they're asking 35 dollars a box for self pickup - they're selling expensive freaking veggies.)

So I fail to find the argument that this is hurting donations compelling (or even factual) and I don't believe the author's motives are any more pure.

Basically - this is a hit piece against a competitor in the same market, and it should be read as such.
Assume nothing will change, because it probably won't. Given that, consider the pluses and minuses of staying vs going. If the money is awesome, you might want to stay, at least for a while.
To be fair, physicists are quite aware of that. I'm no expert but it seems to me that theories that remove the need for dark energy are researched, and welcomed rather than mocked. Nobody is satisfied with this dark matter/energy need (especially when we know for a fact that our current fundamental theories are wrong)
For a lot of popular press you can check out the confessed social media propoganda experiment @TeslaCharts for before-it-breaks-on-the-news coverage of whatever sourceless negative article you want. You can also use it to read deluded stock analysis talking points, since the goal of the twitter feed is to produce a profit via a short position on Tesla, many of the narratives are aimed at influencing stock analysis.

It's hard to predict what will take hold though, since there are literally hundreds of negative narratives being pushed all the time. It's like a Nigerian prince scam.

For example, the recent NYTimes article on the Tesla delivery hubs (cast as parking lots filled with cars that no one wants) were being pushed by the so-called 'shorty air force', a collection of accounts that look extremely similar on the surface to political influence campaigns perpetrated by the Russian Internet Research Agency. Naturally, the sources for this story didn't want to be identified.

I think this stuff turns out to be surprisingly effective, due to the generational forces which influence news propagation. A grandmother loses her fortune when she messes up and gets scammed, but the news makes a bit of extra money due to increased attention when it publishes the right type of FUD.

Just remember that the account is very explicitly telling you that it does everything it does with the goal of feeding confirmation bias and that they are conducting a social media experiment.

Super disturbing results imo. I ended up writing representatives to get them to look at de-incentivizing bot-based influence campaigns run on the internet when I got a sense for the direction things were going. Kind of excited by the fact that the governor passed a law so quickly on the topic. Wheels were moving way earlier than my writing because of the interest in securing elections from similar threats.

Gotcha. Not my intention to jump down your throat with hiking boots, but the tag-vs-digest thing has been a big part of what I've worked on over the past few months. I agree heartily that keeping the books using digests is the only sane option and buildpacks retain that property. They're just producing and updating OCI images, at the end of the day.

To the disbelievers and downvoters this is true.

I was going to say it stems from Abrahamic tradition, and biblical use as a period of trial, but Wikipedia tells me "The number 40 is used in Jewish, Christian, Islamic, and other Middle Eastern traditions to represent a large, approximate number", with some other older traditions shown.

Presumably Pratchett's inspiration for the Troll number system (many-many-lots) :)
I mean, can't this argument be made against ALL worker protections? We don't need OSHA, workers should decide for themselves how dangerous they want to be. We don't need minimum wage laws, workers should decide. We don't need overtime laws, let workers decide.

We have seen what happens when you remove all restrictions on how employers can treat workers - workers get horribly abused and often times die. If you think this wouldn't happen to modern workers, go look at what goes on in Dubai and the UAE.

I didn't get anything.
That's the point of carbon taxes, isn't it? It's irrelevant what and how people drive, and they certainly don't give a buck about carbon emissions, yet they unwittingly alter their behavior with the effect of reducing the taxed behavior.

By the way, diesel is now typically more expensive than gasoline in Europe too, and the tax embodied in the price is roughly proportional to the carbon content of both. In the past there used to be a lower tax on diesel in some countries as an aid to farmers and the transport industry, but it is less common now.

That's how things work since ages, Windows had mode switches at least until Windows XP. It's quite normal if you think of it: the computer turns on, does some basic self-testing, then enhances it's capabilities, the OS starts and activates more and more functionality.

I know it looks very polished when all this is hidden. But when something stops working, the repair option might then be hidden as well though. The UX of having a dysfunctional system for days or weeks is even worse. In fact this is the reason I switched to Linux, everything is so much more predictable and transparent. Of course stuff looks more stitched together and sometimes things are harder to get running. But once things are set up properly, it just works and works.

Windows has improved a lot over the years, but still, if you keep an installation over time, you end up having more and more spyware and crappy software on your system, even on the Mac it's advisable to reinstall everything from time to time. This means backing up all data, not forgetting anything and also taking care of App reinstallations. For anyone using Computers for things they depend on, this is nightmarish UX.

There was over a 10 year gap between Rabin’s assasination and the election of Hamas and the withrawal from Gaza.

Ironically the largest concessions and the ratification of the Oslo accords were done by Benjamin Netanyahu during his first term in the mid 90׳s and the withdrawal from Gaza was initiated by Ariel Sharon both were ״right wing״ governments.

To me this signifies that under the right conditions even the most hawkish government in Israel can seek peace but at this point I’m not sure which conditions can be met for any one in the Palestinian Authority yet alone Hamas to be willing and able to negotiate in true faith.
I've been more disturbed by the response to this than the papers themselves. Saying,well of course we were duped, you really expected the peer review system to not to utterly fail in the presence of a few bad actors? does not inspire my faith in the system.

This wasn't a hoax it was social commentary and an experiment in prejudice. That nazi language can be published under a progressive guise should be chilling to anyone who is a vehicle for these ideals.
Breitbart was one of the first, and almost certainly the most complete, with the dumps of internal Google message traffic following the Damore incident. After looking at many other accounts, and considering Google's response, it appears that the material was entirely factual.

This ban seems to say more about Wikipedia than it does about Breitbart.
That's really sad, and I don't doubt at all that these things happen, but they are so uncommon, even for the mentally ill, it just isn't something I'm worried about. I've actually been pretty impressed at how restrained QPS officers are with how they deal with drunk and psychotic people. I was involved in a fair bit of this while working as a doctor in ED, as well as while working in a psychiatric unit.

If I was going to be mentally ill, I think Australia would be towards the top of my list somewhere of places I'd want to be.
I’m not particularly looking forward to the day I’m forced into the new interface. It’s slow as hell on Firefox and is continually dropping keyboard shortcut events unless I type each. one. slowly. and. deliberately.
I know that chrome limits the amount of time that the CORS preflight validation response result can be cached (to a maximum of 5 minutes — and if the server sets expiration header to a longer time - chrome still only caches up to 5 minutes). Does Firefox perhaps not limit this? It could be that you are seeing a difference in behavior due to the max time that each browser is willing to cache the CORS preflight check ...?

You can tell your vegetables and fruit not to grow into unaesthetic shapes or colors at the very least. That's why commercial tomatoes and apples don't have as much flavor as heirloom varieties. They spend a lot of money on such things as travel durability, skin toughness, size, and color at the expense of taste.

If you make it so that farmers can actually sell blemished food, that will increase the profits of farmers, making it a more attractive to be a farmer. Otherwise they'll get another job.

> The question is, is learning it useful?

Even that question is too broadly posed. The question is, is learning it in addition to[1] the previously-standard tools useful?

[1] In the context of the article, this might be "instead of", which presents a much lower bar.
The Toyota system seems fairly different than a diesel-electric train system to me. As I understand it in a diesel electric system the three components (diesel engine, generator and electric motor) all do one thing the whole time and there's no batteries. In the Toyota system however the electric motors can flexibly act as either motors or generators. The gas engine in Toyota also doesn't need to always be on to provide power.
(Ted Nelson once pointed out that Mark Miller's name is also his occupation.)
Your comment took an interpretation of mine that doesn’t seem compatible with what I actually wrote, particularly that I explicitly said I did not blame people for credential rent seeking (even if it makes me justifiably angry), but rather I blame organizations that fuel the demand which makes this credential rent seeking profitable in the first place.

Somehow you feel that because I used an analogy of roaches scattering to describe when rent-seeking people looking to secure rents with credential are forced to flee one source (MBA programs) for some other that this makes your interpretation compatible with what I wrote, but I don’t see why. You questioning “why I blame [MBA grads]” seems just as incompatible with what I wrote as before.

Yes! As mindcrime says, Cello is a great platform that compiles Verilog to DNA circuits. Check it out https://github.com/CIDARLAB/cello

True, but labs are backed up. There are thousands of rape kits sitting some where just waiting to be tested. Plus most people, police, lawyers, and etc don't understand how DNA comparison works. You will even hear in court that DNA match 96.8% instead of 100%, because that is what the lab said. People prefer ignorance so they look like they understand then to question what that percentage actually means.
If the people at the top of your discipline can't tell the difference between quality and inane garbage, what do you really have?
The highest mortality was in the first five years of course. Take that out of the comparison and the figures change surprisingly.

Once you got past that, and assuming you didn't get dragged off to war or succumb to some sort of pestilence, life span wasn't so different.

Which makes watching or reading period fiction frustrating when they treat a 40 year old as we might an 80 year old. We live longer, but we sure don't age at half speed.
Take it easy. Work Is not your baby. Don't attach emotions to work. Do all you can for 8 hours and then forget the moment you get out of the door. Don't respond to emails from home. Don't carry work phone unless you must.

Invest in family, kids, hobbies, health, stocks/bonds, travel etc. There's more to life than work.

Remember you work to live not live to work.
