This is one of the biggest issues with unfettered free market capitalism in that long-term issues are incredibly hard to balance out and relatively easy to cover up. By the time people figure out what it is that might be killing them there's little recourse or the damage is already done.

Eventually the free market might kick in and result in companies like J&J being torn apart. Yet are we really willing to repeat the cycle of a shitty company hiding things that are harmful to the public under the guise of a free market? A free market can only theoretically work when consumers have full access to information that allows them to make rational decisions about what they chose to buy; companies hiding information like that very obviously goes against that core concept.
The implied conditionality here is troubling me. Reasons to block a merger should be about market power. This is like pork barrelling, to secure a tactical moment in a trade war.
In the case of dietitians, ONLY a dietitian can be licensed in those states that require it, and only the dietetics board of all dietitians get to decide who can be license. In Florida there are 22 million people, but because of the license monopoly, only 4,000 dietitians.

Nope. There was no high-speed rail in Japan then.

The field of economics certainly has lots of problems with replication and pseudoscience and pigeon superstition, but I'd like to point out that when large-scale events naturally take decades to play out it's a common effect for people to dismiss it, saying "oh they've been saying that for the past fifteen years, let's just move on already."

Sometimes things take that long. That kind of cognitive bias is making it difficult for our species to do any sort of proper long-term planning or even observation of slow problems.
If you're talking public schools, they actually tend to be pretty bad based on standard metrics in even elite metros like New York City. And major cities probably have more explicit corruption than small towns. see Chicago historically.

That said, I don't really disagree with your basic point. To see plays, orchestra, etc. you need to be at least within an hour or so of either a city or a university town.

> If you fine Facebook, you have to fine the small companies too, and even individual developers developing OSS, since the law should apply to everyone equally.

I would agree regarding small companies, but I wouldn't put oss developers in the same boat, fining the entity that provides a service makes more sense. It doesn't matter if that service relies on OSS or not.

It's the company providing the service to the consumer who is responsible to vet the final product.

A OSS developer has no idea if her/his code is going to be used by a gaming app or by NASA for mission critical stuff and shouldn't be made responsible if a bug in the oss project caused a rocket failure.

Similarly a construction company providing wood (and that company isn't making any false claims about the level of quality): it should not be the company's fault if someone decides to use that wood for a bridge where concrete is needed. The bridge builder is responsible of picking a good material.
I'm probably missing some finer points, but I just cannot make sense of the problem here.

Editors of $prestigous_journal are the most prestigious professors in their field themselves, no?

So let's say $prestigious_journal is one of the journals that the university students/faculty get access to from Elsevier. University pays Elsevier, university gets access. Fine.

Now, suppose the editors of $prestigious_journal care about open access. But given the current arrangement with Elsevier they cannot become an open access journal tomorrow.

Is that the problem?

If so, the obvious next chess move I see is this:

Editors of $prestigious_journal resign from $prestigious_journal today. Tomorrow, they start $prestigious_journal1 (modulo some new name-choosing scheme) and post a website or whatever.

Granted I'm biased-- is the problem that the editors don't know how to publish content on a website?

If so, then the obvious chess move is to use whatever turnkey open source journal publishing system exists.

What is it, and why hasn't every prestigious journal already changed its name and started publishing there?

The argument cannot be, "Well, no one would know where to find the new journal." They are the most prestigious editors-- their field will know immediately where they went. Everyone else will follow from there.

The only sticking point I can see is that $prestigious_editors can't take their previously published work with them to redistribute over their new website. But they still get career credit for their previous publications, and they/students/faculty can still access that through Elsevier. And all their new publications can be accessed and redistributed under a liberal license by all, for a publishing fee approaching zero dollars.

We have a rich history of big software projects making much more disruptive changes in a single day. E.g., Mambo became Joomla. The fact that prestigious journal editors haven't done likewise in droves leads me to believe they are saying one thing about open access in public and saying something much more important by doing very little to change the status quo.

The right way, probably, is to educate folks, and nitpick w/ the sales guys. And call them out on the service's non-features, and/or if they lie. Once you're a customer, the support folks don't care, but the Sales folks are thirsty to close the sale.
No, power density is very important, since it directly affects how expensive fusion reactors will be. The cost of a machine is a function of its complexity and size; fusion reactors will be both much larger and much more complex than fission reactors of the same power output.
It's interesting reading their site, considering it focuses almost entirely on the ovarian cancer side of things and manages to cite zero sources for their mesothelioma claims. Their miner and miller statistics have zero data backing them up.

If you had a way of projecting a pattern onto a surface you are taking a picture of, you could receive a hash, project that out onto whatever surface, take a picture, and send back the signed hash of the picture you just took, thus proving that a particular picture was taken in a particular place.

If that picture is of you, you can thus prove that you were in a particular place at a particular time.
> Some, however, expressed concern about the impact on junior faculty members, who must publish to advance their careers. Elsevier’s journals signal prestige in the academic job market.

> many existing journals have an established brand, community, and track record — all helpful markers for junior scholars in the tenure process.

it seems odd to me that academic prestige isn't controlled by the universities. you'd think that that's something they can create on their own.

Another key thing happened in the 70s, Nixon closed the gold window allowing for devaluation of the dollar, which enabled government-led wholesale theft of the productivity of the labor class and direct transfer to bankers and government contractors (mostly defense), and indirect transfer to the financial sector and investment capitalists.

The wealthy didn't make a break for it, it was handed to them on a platter, and continued to be justified on the grounds of centralized management of the economy.
Doesn't Chromium (like lots of other software) embed SQLite? So using Chromium would be (a potentially easily overlooked way) of using SQLite?

It is essentially abusing the UBU to subsidize trade from China. There was an excellent NPR story about it: https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?stor...
Again: It is now objective fact that at least four of his accusers were lying, so we're legitimately evaluating how someone should react when being questioned surrounding false sexual assault and rape allegations after being in the media spotlight for weeks.

Many of these senators opposed his nomination prior to his name even being selected, yet you're expecting him to sit back non-chalantly as senators try to trick him into acknowledging maybe he was just too drunk to remember the raping. Him getting a little testy after weeks of the most intense character assassination I've ever seen is not unreasonable.

> Think of it another way - it's a job interview. If you were crying and screaming about a conspiracy of your interviewers, would you get hired for any other job?

This isn't a job interview, and again: at least four objectively false accusers. If there wasn't any planning involved, then at least four people acted independently to make very conveniently timed false accusations. Both conclusions seem implausible to me, yet logically one must be true.

> The GOP should have pulled him and put forward another candidate, one without that controversy.

It is now political reality that if the stakes are high enough, especially on the Republican side, you can expect false sexual assault allegations. Again: this is factual. It happened here, and it can happen again.

Dropping candidates due to "controversy" stemming directly from uncorroborated sexual assault allegations would only give more power to false accusers. Maybe we can come up with a standard of how we expect people to respond when the mainstream media and political left are openly labeling you as a "potential gang rapist" for weeks, but until then, I can only judge him based on how I'd expect a potential SC justice (and human being) to act in such a difficult situation.
> The victims have included large contractors as well as small ones, some of which are seen as lacking the resources to invest in securing their networks.

That does not compute. If they want to become a defense contractor, it stands to reason not spending resources on securing their network (and educating their employees against phishing attacks) is a non-starter.
Sure, the TGV is a standard-gauge set that can run in most of Western Europe's rail.

The issue is that regular rail can't run on the TGV lines.

Japan/France took a different approach than Germany/Switzerland for HSR. Germany and Switzerland are far less centralized than Japan and France, and that reflects in the network, which began as upgrades to lines between major cities, and new sections with new tracks.

France's system reflects its historical centralization, since the late middle ages. Paris is the economic, political, artistic, demographic center of the country, and just like the first railroads in the country were created to expand central control over the rest of the country, TGV started as a spoke network with a single hub: Paris.
From all I know about past press, it was full of manufactured controversies. It also fuelled wars.

There's not the same blind-optimism to solar power generation.

Well.. it's hard to be overtly skeptical to a form of lower intensity power which works at scale, but lower intensity. The only claims to be rebutted are ones which overstate the pace of improvement to the forseen asymptote.

What's more baffling is the constant jeremiad of hate against solar wind and battery because of prejudice favouring large centrally managed gigawatts. Nobody disputes big lumps of powerstation are good. What we're doing is fighting an ill informed skirmish inside the linear programming and O/R model of future power, rather pointlessly.

I would like nuclear fusion and fission power research to continue. I would like the funding to lower intensity power to continue as well. I would like a grown up conversation about how much each should get annually as funding.
On what evidence do you think that Elon Musk doesn't care about the future beyond 200 years?

Licensing is one way to deal with the issue where the damage done by an inept practitioner is likely to exceed their abilities to pay[1]. Bad dieting advice can cause serious lifetime health issues. It seems possible (or even likely) to me that Florida's dietician licensing doesn't address this situation well, but there is nothing inherently nonsensical about licensing dieticians.

1: I'm not saying that licensing is the only way. If you want a list of a half-dozen others, consult your local libertarian.
Dunno. It seems plausible to me, but there are a lot of potentially conflating factors.
Look the American people have voted for a Republican party who approves of lobbying. Don't get angry when companies actually do it and do it well.

"The American people" is not a singular voting bloc. Those of us who don't vote for such things are well within our rights to get angry, as are those who did vote for the party but feel betrayed by it.

the American people voted for it overwhelmingly. Because Americans always vote for tax cuts.

The American people largely disapproved of the tax cut, and that has held steady in the year since its passage [1]. California soundly rejected the repeal of its gas tax. Americans don't always vote for tax cuts.

Verizon plays the game by the rules and they won.

> The fact that Chromium also saw fit to patch this suggests further that there was likely some way that it could be tricked into issuing queries that did this, allowing some compromise of the browser. If this could have been triggered by a web page, then that explains why they are light on details.

Chromium still supports WebSQL, though, which gives you essentially free reign on a SQLite database. This is quite different from the way most applications expose SQLite to untrusted data (i.e. only through parameter binding).
Whoops, you're right. I got that bit wrong.
You are misconstruing what the laws on unordered merchandise mean. If you have a business relationship with a company, and they send you something mistakenly, they can bill you if you do not send it back. You will not win a lawsuit for fraud or similar unless you have no business relationship, or the company refuses to send you a return mailing label.

What I "find reasonable" only applied to the sentence that contained it. Receiving accidental packages has nothing to do with "reasonable".

If you receive a package that was not intended for you, that's an accident, and you are not entitled to that package. That's my core point.

If you receive a package that is intended for you, but it was a bona fide mistake on the company's part, you'd have to ask a lawyer as to whether that counts as "unordered merchandise" or not. I certainly wouldn't simply assume it is.

Nobody said a "freaking clown" or anywhere near that. The higher up you are at a company or organization, the less visibility you have into the day to day operations. What OP is saying is simply that the CEO of SIPC may not be informed in the discussions that already happened with Robinhood.

Simply put, Robinhood has far more at risk than the SIPC by launching without SIPC insurance. The banking industry is heavily regulated and Robinhood has been in the brokerage game for enough now to know that a major product launch like this in a tightly regulated area requires massive amounts of paperwork and approval. A mistake like this could collapse not only this new product but also their brokerage. It's far more likely that they have done their due diligence before announcing and launching a product that has that big of a risk.
And your ignoring the fact that the Minneapolis metro area is a commuter city and parking is already limited within residential areas.

Where are people going to park their cars if parking is not mandatory for all these triplexes being built? There won't be enough space on the street and you and I both know that developers will save costs by simply not building parking for low or medium income housing projects.

So then you've got people who can't own a car because they have no where to keep it, who are then reliant on the bus system to get to work.

Great,if the bus goes from your house to where you are working. Too bad it doesnt most of the time.

This is a huge problem right now in north Minneapolis: there aren't a lot of good bus routes running through the area that go to where the jobs are and the people who live there that can't afford cars therefore don't have access to good employment.

Sure, just do more routes, right?

There is already a shortage of bus drivers in Minneapolis and the transit system is hemorrhaging money. How are we gonna pay for it?

Or maybe build more train lines?

We've already been planning the new sw metro line for a decade and surprise surprise it's still not built.

The 2040 plan is not a good solution to the reality of the Minneapolis metro area's problems at all.

Since every bank in China is under the direction of the central government it's up to a committee therein to decide which companies end up bankrupt. China might look like it has a modern capital market but it's still centrally controlled for key parts. National banks can and will infinitely extend credit lines to unprofitable companies if it's in the governments interest (for example to prevent public unrest).
The US and the EU have been flooding the markets with money ever since the recession too, though, with low to negative interest rates and bond buys.

The EU is in a worse state than the US with an interest rate of 0.0 and therefore no room to maneuver in case of a new downturn.

For either three of those markets, the flooding can't continue indefinitely.

I like the idea. It has happened before [0], eg the complete editorial board of the (Elsevier) Journal of Algorithms resigned in 2003 and founded the ACM Transactions on Algorithms, effectively taking the prestige and reputation with them. The Journal of Algorithms folded in 2009.

However, this only happened because Journal of Algorithms founder Don Knuth instigated it (because he was disgusted with Elsevier's pricing policies, back then already; see [1] (PDF)). If the process were one-click easy and streamlined, it might happen more often.
