While living i a "nicer" neighborhood does greatly reduce the chance of your child being the victim of violent crime in general, especially outside of school, the majority of deadly school shootings didn't happen in particularly "dodgy neighborhoods".

Columbine High School was not in a "dodgy neighborhood". Nor was the shooting at that school in Florida a year or two ago. Nor was Virginia Tech in 2008.

In fact, I don't think any of the mass shootings in American schools have been in poor schools at all. Of course, they have their own problems with violence stemming from gang activity and poverty, but the mass shootings are in schools with pretty well-off students.

I believe this will definitely be true. I'm sure that Swarm will have a very difficult time obtaining their next license for whatever they launch. It is already very difficult for a commercial company to get an FCC license. Especially when you are a small company with limited resources like Swarm.

I worked for a different smallsat company, including working on the FCC application and it was a nightmare dealing with them. We submitted our initial application for a license, got comments back from the FCC and then we provided them with more data in response to their questions. Then after 2 years of the FCC just sitting on our license application we got a 3 sentence letter saying out application had been denied with no explanation of why.

Mass elementary shootings in the US are presented as happening far more often then they do - I think there have been only two mass shootings at an elementary school in the US in the last 20 years, with a total of 32 victim deaths.

And remember, the US a has a large population - 60 times more people live here than in, say, Norway. So for a given incidence rate per capita, you would expect the US to have more. If you use per capita figures instead, in the past twenty years, more people have been killed by mass shootings (5 or more strangers), in Norway than in the US. (I totally cherry picked Norway, bad me! Though I could have also used France, which also had more per capita deaths from mass shootings than the US in the last five years.)

Now it's still an absolute tragedy, but on the list of things to worry about, your child being killed in a mass elementary school shooting in the US is about an order of magnitude less likely that you being struck and killed by lighting.
Enhanced edition universally hated? Might you be looking at the new baldurs gate game they made recently?
Enhanced edition is just easier to run on newer pcs
Mine:

- Clumsy installation process (unless you where in a position where you didn't have to rely on OEM crap, i.e. unless you where an IT pro or enthusiast)

- Performance. My builds would easily take 50% more time on the same hardware with Windows. Git was slower. Node was slower.

- Ecosystem. Until WSL getting access to standard tooling was kind of clumsy (respect for Cygwin, but still). Even after WSL it is still clumsy (who can tell my how to activate WSL without consulting duckduckgo? I've done it twice and I still cannot say for sure).

- Package management: Used to be non-existent (except again cygwin). Now it is just clumsy (a mix of Windows Store, WSL apt-get and Chocolatey should get you most of the stuff you need.)

- Licensing. I'm no die hard free software person, but many of the standard programs on Windows are directly user hostile (Acrobat Reader comes to mind).

- Until recently Windows also lacked basic desktop manager features like multiple desktops.

- Not directly Microsofts fault, but if people like me are using Windows it is often because someone I work for demand it. Usually that also means having to deal with an IT department running Active Directory and all the "interesting" consequences that has, even for someone who is part of said IT department like I've been. (Getting locked out from your files because an admin flipped a switch? Check! Someone swapped regional settings across a group of machines that I was responsible for and locked them, causing all POS systems to fail with no way to fix them? Check! Having to wait for all kinds of scripts that run on logon? Check! Accept having basic parts of your user experience set by it department? Check! Again this is not MS fault directly but back when I first experienced working with Windows in companies for some reason Active Directory seemed to attract people who wants to to those kinds of things and/or it has a power to make them want it. </rant>

The 2018 Farm Bill made growing hemp legal under federal law. This will allow farmers to grow hemp and participate in USDA programs, get greater accsss to banking, etc.

Hemp, specifically “industrial hemp”, is just cannabis that has a THC content under 0.3%.

There are a lot of products that can be made from hemp; a popular one is CBD oil. There are different methods of extracting it, CO2 extraction being popular, but it’s also sometimes done with solvents.

The CBD oil industry is currently unregulated and basically the Wild West. People make bold claims, and it’s not always clear what you’re buying. Though, some companies post 3rd party testing results that correlate with batch numbers on the product label.

What this article is really saying is that now that there will be a lot more hemp in the US, the FDA will be taking an active regulatory role. This will likely have a big impact on the CBD oil industry which currently markets as a cure-all in many health food stores.

This is good for consumer safety in the long run — hemp is an effective soil cleaner and the heavy metals in the soil can end up in th CBD oil you’re consuming. But it will likely make it a harder process to legitimately sell CBD oil, and require going through a more expensive process involving FDA approval. We’ll see.

Taking part in a big new project to switch to something else can certainly be interesting, if it's a new technology, and even if it's really no better than the previous technology. If nothing else, it's really good for your resume.

Just to expand on this: if I were to take part in a project to move a critical service from Postgres to MongoDB (which I believe to be a worse solution), this would still be a better learning experience for me than just maintaining an existing installation. I'd have to learn about both DBs, and write a lot of new code to work with the new DB. That wouldn't happen with a Postgres system that's already set up and working fine. And my resume wouldn't look like someone that can come in and get to work on a big project and see it through by working on a maintenance project.

>At some point, the constant rewriting will have to stop.

At that point, the developers and managers who pushed for the big new project will have moved on to another company. Remember, moving companies every few years will generally yield a much higher salary than staying at the same company for your entire career.

>In contrast, maintenance work on a well-engineered critical system can be quite interesting in its own right

Sure, but you're not going to get a great salary doing that.
It is very likely that if you had poutine and didn't enjoy it, you ate what we call tourist poutine.

It bring me shame to say but a lot of tourist spots will sell the worst possible poutine. If what you had was some dry french fries with some low quality gravy on top, it isn't poutine. McDonald's poutine is also a joke.

Poutine is an incredible diverse dish. My favorite kind has chili, caramelized onions and pulled pork over it. Freshly made fries in quality oil and the best possible quality local cheese curds are a requirement.

To get a good one, you need to either go to a restaurant that specialize in poutine or to a pataterie.

Here, take a look:

All of this being said, poutine is greasy fast comfort food. It is not for everyone, especially if you usually eat healthy.

It is best eaten at 3 AM after the bars close for the night (a lot of poutine stops are open 24h/7 or close very late in the night).

>The kernel of a nut is called nut meat, //

It can be, but it's exceedingly rare IME.

I'm trying to remember but can't quite, there are other non-flesh things someone referred to as meat too, after a similar line to your nut example. It's an analogy, you peel back the skin and underneath is the "flesh" (like a peach, or any fruit).

You could say, when carving a pumpkin, "get right in to the meat of it", but it's euphemistic in this case.

English language is crazy.
And just like all of those, everything should be enjoyed responsibly.

Cannabis can quite easily be abused when just consumed "out of boredom", which sadly tends to happen quite often.

Imho it should enable or enhance what one does, and not be the sole reason one does anything at all.

> "Laws are unlikely to change without a bit of violation"

The flaw with that argument is that something like 99 of 100 laws exist because, basically, they should. They benefit society, so essentially the whole population wants them.

Someone will disagree with almost every law, and some subset of them will violate it in protest. No single person knows which law is the 1 in 100 that shouldn't exist - even someone who thinks they know. Often, the people who so passionately think a law shouldn't exist that they're willing to break it are actually the least representative of society.

(I'm completely ignoring whether space launch access is or isn't a worthwhile law; it's moot.)
Have you found that your users really want a decentralized marketplace vs what the one you've built already (which I think is really good!)? Additionally, remember that all transactions on ETH are public, so if anything transactions would be less private than if you were to contain them to a normal web2 marketplace.

There are two hard parts of hazard avoidance: identifying the hazard in the first place, and dealing with large numbers of different hazards moving around. Transponders, TCAS, and maps solve the first problem well enough for boards and airplanes.(there are time where they fail but they are rare enough to ignore). Except at ports/airports traffic is generally light as well meaning drones and boats only need to worry about a small number of hazards which makes this easier.

Autonomous cars are hard because children, and wildlife do not have transponders, and worse have a habit of jumping out from cover right into your path. Killing children is obviously bad. Even though who morally would argue that wildlife don't matter still do not like the damage hitting the wildlife causes to the car.
The gameplay is different, but as someone who was both a fan of Baldur's Gate AND Fallout 1/2, I find it noticeably superior, especially when it comes to combat.

Offer all you want, but remember that if you're doing something, you aren't shadowing. Offer to take notes in meetings for them -- that's probably the most useful thing you could do.

Also, not to doubt your skills, but someone who doesn't have experience in the space "offering to help on sales calls" probably would be a net detriment.

> a function the market would have provided immediately.

This opinion would seem to be at odds with reality at large.

The reason the Food, Drug and Cosmetic act was passed in the first place is because of all the harm that the (then unregulated) pharmaceutical industry was doing. The market had centuries' worth of time to correct for people taking all sorts of drugs that actively kill people, and it didn't. It was only regulation that started to get the mess under control.

And it's the loopholes in regulation where things are worst. The supplement industry continues to do far more harm than good.

It's just possible that, despite the best efforts of some economists to argue that everyone is perfectly knowledgeable, rational, and emotionless in order to simplify their models, people continue to be merely human.
The FCC regulates the spectrum allocation for satellite communications. However, part of getting the approval process involves proving that your satellite will meet the deorbit/disposal requirements. So the FCC has also inherited some of the preventative measures for orbital debris.

On an international level, the ITU [1] sets guidelines for spectrum usage and de-orbit. But each country typically has their own regulatory agency depending on where the satellite was built.

One Third of Americans Thinking About Leaving Country to Live Abroad
This is good stuff. You're proving my point: "dangerous" is a value judgment!

Do you live in the US? I do, and I've never felt unsafe in any of the places I've lived in. Maybe I'm 4-5x more likely to be murdered here compared to Germany, but a 0.00535% chance of getting murdered this year doesn't really move the needle for me. I also know that there are wide variances in that rate based on the community I live in, the people I associate with, and the activities in which I partake.

If you think you'd feel safer in North Korea because the murder rate is lower, feel free to live there instead! I'll take my chances here.
Well, it's not a significant amount of new plastic on a global scale. However, why does it make sense to spend gobs of money on something that at best won't help and at worst will make things slightly worse? Why not invest in proven strategys, like bag bans or trash collection around populated rivers and bays? An example of this is the Baltimore trash wheel cleaning up the bay. It's cheap and effective, because it cleans up garbage when it is:

a) Not broken down to be microscopic.
b) Concentrated.

I should also point out that they claim they can finance a big part of this by recycling the degraded ocean plastic. I shouldn't have to tell you that that is absolutely whackadoo.

Let's start a new LLC for every launch. After all, launches are expensive, and LLCs are cheap. FCC will only penalize us a little because it's always the first launch.

A little later: the FCC said we couldn't do that with LLCs that we own or are directed by people who work for us, so let's hire a series of unconnected LLCs, one per launch. We'll have to pay a bit more, but it's always the first launch. We just sell them satellites and connect them with buyers.

1. Facebook definitely doesn't have full and complete trust in their own systems, they are vulnerable to hacking, downtime, and mistakes just like any other service, and they know it. This is the same reason companies release messaging products with end to end encryption.

2. A traditional centralized database doesn't allow offline transactions with any degree of trust. I don't know if this is a problem they are solving, but in principle, something with a blockchain-like architecture makes it possible to provide cryptographic proof that you have the money and intend to transfer it without any server round trip and still be secure against many kinds of attacks.
Panics about secret societies and fraternal organizations are a useful leading indicator of an authoritarian political tide. When you look at who worries about them, and governments that make pronouncements about them, looking back on who the good guys were, it usually wasn't the ones threatened by what happens when good men find a way to connect with one another.
Cross compiling isn't hard, not really. But software building is hard. There are a lot of libraries and linkage magic needed to turn source files into something executable. And for a host system, all that work has been done for you.

So if you want to have a cross toolchain for, say, RISC-V on x86, it's not enough to have the compiler and assembler, you need a RISC-V linker script (for your particular RISC-V target), a RISC-V build of the C library (again target-specific), the libgcc helper library, headers for all the relevant platform code (they seem simple, but in my experience headers are routinely the biggest mess).

And unlike the host toolchain where there is an unambiguous "correct" answer for all that stuff, a cross environment might be asked to support all kinds of crazy alternatives. Your ARM gcc might be used to produce a binary to run on Fedora, or for a busybox/uclibc build on an ancient kernel, or to target Zephyr (my world)...

It gets messy very fast. But it's not "hard". Putting it together for one system isn't any harder than it is for any other.

The problem is if we rely on lobbying gov't for change, then we're going to get change written by corporate lobbyists (including by your employer, Amazon / Jeff Bezos - no offense). They tend to build up barriers to entry to competition and entrench themselves.

> Unfortunately this would weak our duopoly parties, allowing third parties to win seats. So they (D&R) will never change the laws.

(1) They will change the law if the choice is being displaced as major parties (i.e., if people care enough), and

(2) for state government, in many cases the elected members of political parties would not need to act, the citizenry could change the laws directly,

> In a FPTP election, 10-20% of the votes are wasted on a 3rd party. In a PR election, 10-20% of the votes get 10-20% of the seats.

Assuming you mean party list PR, that's true, but then also individual candidates aren't accountable to the general electorate and no one has anyone they can point to as “their” representative. That's a significant trade-off; there are systems which achieve rough proportionality (far better than FPTP) that don't have these problems (i.e., STV with small, e.g. 5-member, districts), but if you look simply at a naive “wastee vote” metric as you've constructed here they may not be better than FPTP.

In Poland it's not about vegetarianism (until recently, nobody cared about not eating animals), but about religious (catholic) traditions.
