In that case the same could be done with sexual assault or abuse allegations. There's no end to possible duplicity, this doesn't really extend it, especially as Alzheimer's is going to be a super specific diagnosis.

> I'd like to hear counter points to this because normally when I ask my friends the responses I get are more along the lines of "corporations are evil" more than "could it even work economically".

Corporations are not inherently evil, but any sufficiently powerful entity is in a good position to abuse its power (governments included). Would it really be a good idea to skew the system to benefit corporations over individuals even more, with all the rampant power abuse going on already?
But what they did was what companies are supposed to do - be extraordinarily successful. So successful that they can afford to pay their employees shitloads of money. So successful that they need to hire more and more to grow bigger and bigger.

They didn't dump oil in the gulf. They didn't use shady laws to buy majority shares in a public Telecom utility. they didn't exploit the land with unsustainable crops. They sold ads on websites.

So hence my theory - any issues caused by companies doing well without even being evil while doing well, is solely the fault of the government for failing to legislate properly.

Isn't it a civil matter? Does it involve the Police?
Not necessarily. Heard of the Uyghurs? The Chinese authorities have not been known for thinking Others have human rights, at least since Mao.

Since when did putting millions of ethnic or political minorities in death camps become synonymous with imprisonment for crimes actually committed. You know what you get when you get imprisoned in America? Food, warmth, and lawyer and a judge!

I'm not saying being imprisoned is good. But this level of reverse whataboutism is mind killing.

I haven't read the article, but babies like sugar more than anyone I've ever seen before. In fact, when doing procedures to a baby like inserting a cannula, we often give them a tiny tube of sugar water to suck on. You can then do pretty much anything you like to them and they don't even notice. They're too busy voraciously sucking out every last molecule of sucrose.

By the way, I've tasted that sugar water, and it isn't even all that concentrated.

It also works if they're sucking on a breast, but it doesn't look like they've just discovered the best thing in the world in that case.

Edit: I just thought I'd clarify (it's not the sucking itself) that when I said they suck on a tube of sugar, it's more like someone is occasionally placing a drop of the stuff on their lip. That keeps them occupied for about 30 seconds at a time. There's less than 1mL of liquid in those tubes, so it'd be gone in a few seconds if we let them suck on it straight away.
Thanks for being helpful. Nursing school with a full time job is our exact situation as well. Well, she's doing an advanced nursing school so instead of 2 years its 15 months (and she's still working about 25-30 hours a week).

We do the same with the gaps. Sometimes we have them and it works out. Sometimes it doesn't. I agree with you on the making it work thing. Some of the comments below about "quitting" are not quite in focus.

We have another 6 months before my schedule will be predictable and hers as well.

What do you use for a digital calendar? I find google calendar so annoying to input lots of info in. We are trying to get better about syncing up on weekends but she usually is doing a 7pm (sat night) - 7am (sun morning) shift and needs to sleep while I am awake.

Slightly related, but in the Hanuman Chalisa by Hindu poet-saint, Tulsidas, who was born in 1497, mentioned that the distance from the earth to the sun is approximately 108 times the width of the sun.

yuga sahasra yojana para bhānū
līlyo tāhi madhura phala jānū

yuga-sahasra-yojana = 12000 x 1000 yojanas.

Yojana is a Vedic measure of distance and approximately equals to 8 miles (according to the 14th century scholar Parameshvara, the originator of drgganita system). And 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers.

According to the calculation presented in Hanuman Chalisa
Distance between Sun and Earth = 12000 x 1000 yojanas = 96 million miles = 153.6 million kms, which is much closer to the calculation of modern science.

How could he have known this at that time?

I would argue the Huawei CFO situation is just another escalation in the tit-for-tat battle that accompanies a rising power trying to displace an existing power. Most times, this leads to armed conflict of one sort or another.

First time I'm hearing of TinyBasicPlus[0]. And this works on Arduino!

My first program was in Basic. I'm just wondering - won't this be great to get kids started on?

Not too much worrying about concepts or syntax? Just get your hands dirty and get the thrill of seeing hardware change when you write some software?

Indeed. It puzzles me too how an A-pillar large enough to disapear a motorcycle, or group of children, is somehow accepted as safe. Our indescriminate push for safely has taken control from our hands in many contexts it seems.
I wasn't trying to give China any credit, what they're doing is reprehensible, no doubt about it. I was suggesting that the situation of African-Americans in the US prison system[1] is less different from the Chinese example than we'd like to think.

What human rights are being violated again? You don't have a right to just be in America. That's not a human right.

The whole point of this article is that China has just begun threatening Americans, so what happened last year is irrelevant.
Since when was China a monolith since Mao? Ever heard of a guy named Deng?

I'd suggest reading some Chinese history, and also a bit about the current plea bargain disaster in the USA, if you think all of those people actually got due process.

As far as us being world police and telling other nations how to manage their affairs.. I'm against it. The Chinese government has done a lot of good and a lot of bad. Let's worry about our domestic problems first.

We should continue to trade, keep the peace, and continue the amazing 30-year-run the world has had since the end of the cold war. Starting another one would cause a lot of harm.

It is kind of annoying, but I have a different viewpoint for why code is actually a small part.

For me, I could write all the code that my entire team produces, but I am outmatched in the eyes and minds to turn things on operationally. That is, roll it all out and do investigations into problems.

So, my gut is that this trope is based on context. My context is as an infrastructure service provider. Thus, my big problem is operations.

I imagine if one does UI, then that is 80% people problem.

If the problem is science, then the problem is the code and the science.

Perhaps so, but I see the writing as more of a "The status quo will continue until we take action."

I think there is something to be said about defeatism in this regard. Things absolutely will not change until there is action. Crimethinc is simply stating the obvious -- there is no action.

Lately, The Invisible Committee's books have kept me very enthusiastic. If you haven't read those yet (specifically, "Now" and "The Coming Insurrection") you've been missing out.

I wonder about highway safety. Say I travel with a local tourist guide and would I be expecting him to carry weapons in the car for protection, granted tourists can't just go and "rent" guns and sickles there? From the pictures as epic as it seems to be it also gives the notion of wilderness.
Linux on Windows, i.e. WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is not a VM - it's a separate system compatibility layer, somewhat akin to what MS SQL Server does to abstract away to OS to also be able to run on Linux now.

Or seniors could be allowed to defer their property taxes and convert them into a tax lien on their property, to be dealt with by the estate. You know, a simple and obvious solution. But of course, the two guys in Hell or High Water would still ultimately be SOL. That's what privilege (owning a house sitting on highly-desirable land that's probably worth millions of dollars) looks like in real life. Privilege and greed.
Yes, that's why the above commenter used it as an example of incorrect medieval economic thinking...
It’s the same in the US the property owner should call a tow truck or the police.

There was a story on reddit a few weeks ago where this happened outside a hotel. The hotel staff called the cops who knocked on rooms and found owners.

The tricky part is in a lot of situations it can be hard to find the property owner so they can call the cops. Tow truck companies are careful about having an authorized person request the car to be removed.
Rich people disproportionately represent spent money might be more accurate.

NYC has been shutting down particular lines for maintenance on nights and weekends (as needed) as a regular thing over the past few years. (And while I can't speak for London, the US systems that take night-time breaks hardly use them to inspect every inch every night -- they include DC, where negligence has been chronic enough that partial shutdowns to deal with it are stretching into weekdays.)

Panpsychism isn't "crazy shit" we "tried long ago" and we haven't "moved on".

She doesn't claim that panpsychism was tried a long time ago. She claims that

Now, look, I know that physicists have a reputation of being narrow-minded. But the reason we have this reputation is that we tried the crazy shit long ago and just found it doesn’t work.

She's saying physicists today have a reputation for narrow-mindedness because of their reaction to having tried out crazy shit in the past. Her definition of panpsychism is

I recently discovered panpsychism. That’s the idea that all matter – animate or inanimate – is conscious, we just happen to be somewhat more conscious than carrots.

She furthermore claims that electrons can't have consciousness and gives an argument for why. The author does not define panpsychism as the idea that a conscious particle would somehow affect the number of particles produced in a collision. I don't see how you could have concluded this from what she wrote. Her reason for discounting panpsychism is that

---------

Since the particles have quantum properties, anything that can happen will happen. If a particle exists in many variants, you’ll produce them all – regardless of whether or not you can distinguish them. The result is that you see more of them than the standard model predicts.

Now, if you want a particle to be conscious, your minimum expectation should be that the particle can change. It’s hard to have an inner life with only one thought. But if electrons could have thoughts, we’d long have seen this in particle collisions because it would change the number of particles produced in collisions.

----------

I think you have badly misinterpreted what was written. I make no claims on panpsychism since this is the first time I've heard the word. I do know that Sabine is a physicist and knows physics quite well. You could have seen this by clicking the "About" link on her blog.
Over-reliance on technology is a plague on driving quality. This is actually why I (and I realize this isn't realistic) think that new drivers should be required to learn to driv and pass the driving test using a manual transmission vehicle without driver aids such as blind-spot detection, lane-assist, assistive braking, etc.

Each year, cars become more and more insulated and isolated from the reality of driving, which is incredibly dangerous. Technology is exascerbating(sp?) this problem. As you say, driving via sensors rather than senses.

People must understand _what_ the car is doing in order to really know how to drive safely and competently. Lower-tech cars force people into this.

I could be misunderstanding (I've not yet used Prettier), but I thought Prettier was agnostic to the linting rules used. I was arguing not that Prettier is bad, but the _excessive_ linting rules were bad (Prettier should be fine for reducing arguments over trivial rules that neither impact bugs nor expressiveness), and further, that arguing that excessive linting wasn't a problem because Prettier can let you ignore them is likewise bad.

None of which says that Prettier itself is bad, but that excessive linting rules, with or without Prettier, are bad.

If I'm wrong about what Prettier does, please let me know. If you're discussing a default set of linting rules Prettier uses, cool, but I can't really say if I think they impact expressiveness since I'm not familiar with that set of rules.

Although I can see why a technically-oriented person might say L2L is vacuous, I do disagree. It's not dense or technical, but I got two concrete insights and practices from it (and I don't think I even bothered to finish it):

1. The pomodoro technique really is useful if you're a hopeless procrastinator like me. It's saved my butt numerous times.

2. The explanation of the value of alternating between focused intense thinking and diffused thinking also helped clarify why unfocused thinking is genuinely productive (of course, as long as it's mixed with focused thinking). I've used this to work around mental blocks when I got too stuck in the focused mode.
This, and the other comments that say turning your head is still necessary.

I tried what the link suggests and had many instances where a motorcycle zipped by close to my car -- I didn't notice them until [what would have been] too late because I couldn't see the area next to my car easily that way. Now I have my mirrors adjusted so I can see motorcycles better, and I turn my head to check the remainder.

All humans are legally blind in their peripheral vision just a few degrees off-axis, so I make sure to focus where I claim to be checking.

Private companies owning metros is actually relatively rare. Note that public transit is usually not run for a profit, since many of the benefits of transit cannot be captured by fares. (Those companies that are privately run generally make money by owning the high-value land around).
Yep, and it's mostly a non-issue. It might take you a little longer to travel at that time, but there are buses that will get you anywhere you need to go (and it's partly mitigated by the fact that the roads are empty at that time of night).
