> If it's true they are from out of state they are just people passing through the state, not commuters on their way to work each day.

Have you looked at a map of where this school is [0]? It's literally between the Washington/Oregon border and downtown Portland. Why wouldn't there be a large commuting population in the Wash State Portland suburbs into downtown Portland?

I'm not deeply familiar with Portland's geography, but it sure looks to me like the urban area goes right up to the Columbia river, so "the traffic thinning out once it leaves the city" would likely be... in Washington.

Apparently the mortality rate from ICD-10 X44 (stuff like blood pressure medication, antibiotics, etc) causes has risen more than 5x over the last 20 years. It seems these deaths are getting grouped in with X42 (heroin, cocaine, etc) in all the reports we hear about.

So who is paying for the increased health care costs of the kids?
The title is poor, yes. The content of the article is pretty clear that ODOT is the problem, though. I don't think the title was claiming that "rich commuters" should pay for it, so much as it was trying to emphasize that the children are in no way responsible for it. The author could have chosen better, though.

I wonder what is the impact of social media in this rate increase. People are getting more and more addicted to it, thus making people more depressed about their lives which in turn find their relief in drugs and alcohol. I am not saying that social media is to blame for everything but as a former heavy user of Snapchat and Instagram, it must be up there as one of the main causes. The sad and hopeless part is that its all by design...
Wealthier ppl have new cars with stricter emissions.

In fact, gasoline cars since port injection have made negligible amounts of particulate emissions (which is the only pollution that matters in this case, CO2 are only globally important). Direct injection might screw everything up soon (their intake valves foul like crazy).

The emitters, therefore, are ppl with old cars; tractor trailers; city buses [0]; working class ppl driving, old ill maintained vans and pick ups.

Really, the only significant particulate emissions I can think of from rich suburbanites are their gas mowers and blowers. But they're (a) polluting the air around their homes (b) quickly switching to electric.

Now, if you want the rich sub-urbanites to pay to relocate the school, that's cool. I'm down. But they're really not the problem.

[0] In my mid western city, at least, the buses are diesel powered and not LNG, and they appear to have the particulate filters ripped off. Dunno about Clark County's buses in particular.

The worst thing to happen to facebook from a security standpoint is either that page preview token or someone logging into some of their back end accounts a while back, and in both cases the people who got in didnt get very far.

Yes, this is the answer. Moving the interstate is a non-starter. And even if there were political will to do so, the costs would be dramatically higher than just building a new school farther away.
Exactly. Part of the reason that Apple's chips do so well against Intel at a given power level is that there Apple is operating at the frequencies their chips are designed for whereas Intel is far away from their sweet spot. You can cover a variety of power targets with one microarchitecture but you're going to do so less efficiently when you're far away form your design point.

And while I bet you could overclock an Apple core somewhat if you used liquid nitrogen or whatever it will still have more logic between clock latches than an Intel processor does. That deeper pipelining means that Intel will be able to clock higher than you can for any given process/voltage/temperature combination. Apple has some very talented CPU architects and I'm sure they could design a high performance chip. But it won't be the same one that runs in iPhones.

haha that's funny! Now that you say it, I can't unsee.
My primary concern with this is that different applications are inherently optimized for the platform on which they were originally designed. There are some applications that have a very dense UI because there's simply alot of functionality that the program handles (think of a video editor, an IDE, etc). Trying to slim down those applications to make them reactive so that they will scale onto a phone or tablet just seems silly, and I fear that in the name of making "everything work everywhere", we're going to compromise a bunch of apps that worked beautifully on one platform in favor of making them work adequately on several platforms.

> Maybe I’m missing something, but discussions on the cost of medicine never seem to question whether using prescription drugs is the right choice to begin with.

Because it's pretty darn obvious that once you have Hep C, yes, prescription drugs are the right choice. No one's pumping Hep C drugs into people who don't have Hep C.

> Surely the solution to this epidemic is to address the underlying drug problems first?

I'd recommend addressing both problems at the same time. There's no reason we can only do one.
I think this and the chain that follows is the conversation to be had.

It can be done but there is a meeting in the middle from many sides.

I believe it centers around the simple laws of thermodynamics, the path of least resistance will be taken.

Microsoft also attempted it, and also failed quite miserably.

> we should simply give up on it?

Not necessarily, but at the very least you could avoid lying by omission (mentioning Google and Apple which don't exactly attempt convergence and pointedly ignoring every pre-existing attempt at the concept) and maybe consider humility and avoid overblown claims given you're not the first to attempt it, nobody's succeeded, there's no evidence available that you are succeeding, and you've really not shown anything which would made anyone think "this is going to succeed where everybody else failed".
If you treat the drug problem without addressing the cost of the treatment, you may end up doing too good a job. The Hep C treatment could become less profitable for drug companies, driving prices up for the (smaller number of) people who still get Hep C.

You need to address both issues. By your own admission, "Hep C kills more people in the United States than all other infectious diseases combined." It would be outright unethical to do nothing to address treatment for people who already have the disease. And besides, sharing needles doesn't cause Hep C infections: sharing needles with someone with Hep C does.
On the other hand, other Asian countries are throwing tons of money at the problem.

It's not that easy though because you need to take the chemistry into account. Some pollutants react distructively with others, so if you reduce those first you'll get more pollution than before. Oops. (China is in that situation, for example.)
When I was the only guy in my team writing code, I found it helpful to put a bit of processes - like having a threshold of test coverage, and running some kind of analysis (flake-8, for example) on my codebase. Another thing I did was letting one of my friends look at a random piece of code in my codebase. He would suggest changes, but what helped more was that I wrote code more consciously than I would if I did it all alone.

I too find the argument compelling that driving is under-priced, but I'm always leery of any reasoning that stops there, as the next step usually seems to be "well, we need to correct the price," which is only a good solution in a vacuum.

As the Macron government in France learned the hard way, underpricing one mode of transport for decades has a profound effect on multiple other markets, and suddenly trying to correct it has a very real human cost. When driving is underpriced, public transport can't compete, and investment in it wanes. Meanwhile, residential development adapts to automotive transport with sprawl.

And so a significant part of the population has no fallback if they become priced out of driving. A good policy solution must take the transportation, housing, and labor markets into consideration when pricing in the externalities of driving.

Are you confusing with 'an order of magnitude'? Exponential is a rate of change, so you simply can't determine it on two data points. Order of magnitude is the relative change itself, so you can determine between two data points.
A monopoly is naturally self-sustaining. It's absurd to think there couldn't possibly be a "better way", that C is somehow perfect in its niche (that all-encompassing niche, that once covered anything and everything that wasn't grabbed by perl); But major experience in developing OS's is with C.. the knowledge, experience, tooling, etc depends on C, because C already has complete and total dominance in the area.

It's difficult to consider working on OS's in not-C, because C owns the market and ecosystem, and everything revolves around it.

But that's certainly a different reason than the absurd imagination that it's impossible to produce a language with stronger guarantees on bug-prone programming tasks (there are many languages that do, some with GC, some with stricter typing, some with static lifetime tracking, and so it goes on). That our CS theorists are so utterly incompetent that they couldn't manage to come up with even a single useful improvement to the divine language, 50 years after the great wizard Thompson etched its wisdom into a core dump

Let's quit pretending that (continued) market dominance correlates to (continued) quality.

I know exactly where it is. It's several miles south of the border and all of this intermediary space - in Oregon - is taken up with very high density city, mostly residences. In these residences are people who work in Portland and drive to work each day, taking the several on and on ramps along this route. As you drive south through this area in the morning, there is heavy congestion at each on-ramp as people are getting on 5 to go south to work. The school is also directly south of the 405 exchange and north of the 84 exchange, both being major point of congestion that daily intrastate and intracity work commuters use extensively.
The school was there first, but they have added another building since the freeway was built. That may be where the confusion comes from.

And beyond that, platforms have affordances which you should want to leverage. A smartphone has a very direct and tactile interaction model, but my computer pairs an extremely precise pointing mechanism with a good way to input oodles of text and chord shortcuts.

Here's a report of the effort involved with making the Subsurface dive log desktop application run on mobile as well. The tl;dr seems to be that

1) it was a lot of work

2) users don't like the result very much

https://lwn.net/Articles/780031/

There's a huge mismatch between how users want to interact with desktop and mobile applications that makes convergence really hard to do effectively in a single codebase.
As a developer I'm fairly disappointed in how Ballmer messed this one up for us. C# is a nice place to spend your day. And the promise of write once run anywhere is really starting to materialize.
> Still, there are a few areas where the A64 architecture is theoretically "better" than x64, due to the lack of legacy.

Every extant A64 processor needs to deal with ARMv8 instructions, thumb instructions, thumb2 instructions, shift encoding, microcoded multiple load/store instructions... It's true that the subset of the ISA that makes up the overwhelming bulk of instructions actually executed is very simple. But frankly that's true of x86 as well.

> when an ARM CPU is in A64 mode

That's... not the way hardware works. Those transistors are still there, it's not like you can make them go away by switching "modes". They still are ready to switch every cycle, and in any case having transistors that "aren't needed" doesn't make anything faster, because they all execute in parallel (or at worst in an extra pipeline stage or two) anyway.

Either you have a simple architecture or you don't. A64 is a simple ISA. Real CPUs have complicated legacy architectures.

Jack Dorsey (CEO) and Vijaya Gadde (global lead for legal, policy, and trust and safety) from Twitter recently was interviewed on Joe Rogan's podcast along with Twitter critic and journalist Tim Pool.

Link to the stream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZCBRHOg3PQ

I have some criticisms of Twitter that tightly align with what Dr. Doyle experienced, what was discussed on Rogan's podcast, and my own experiences:

* Twitter is not a free speech platform, regardless of what Mr. Dorsey and Ms. Gadde say. They have prior assumptions that guide their decision making especially when it comes to identifying what is called hate speech.

* Twitter is largely guided and controlled by progressive ideals. The people that make decisions there admittedly live in a bubble. Tim Pool does a very good job of pointing this out.

* Twitter is a giant echo chamber. The limited functionality of the platform make it that way.

* Twitter cannot be completely free speech because it allows it's algorithms to run wild. We've already seen where ML can be viewed as racist (https://towardsdatascience.com/the-new-hot-take-machine-lear..., https://medium.com/source-institute/how-to-stop-racist-ai-de...). Presumably Twitter's algorithms can be shaped in such a way to allow extreme progressive ideals to make decisions.

* Unlike Reddit, which has decentralized command over it's sub-reddits, Twitter has a centralized decision making body of which is too small to look closely at the nuance and detail of every report.

* The suggested jury review system only re-enforces the echo chamber problem Twitter already has. It's different than American/English common law juris prudence in that there are relatively no bounds, no tight controls on what can be said and discussed by a judge.

* For every account ban, Twitter should publish a chain of reasoning for the ban. Twitter only bans (at least, this is their claim) based on the content of public tweets and not DMs. Since the tweets are already public providing that chain should not be an issue.

In my mind Twitter is no less evil than Facebook.
Journalists make up a minority of those being tracked in that operation. Most of those tracked are involved in organizations that encourage and assist illegal immigration, like Pueblos Sin Fronteras and Border Angels. Founders of both of those organizations explicitly encourage illegal immigration, and have been organizing migrant caravans for some 15+ years.
Compare that to ten years into what banking was.

The spreadsheets, math tables, the manual toil...you aren't looking at it realistically. Things don't just pop into existence perfectly but iterate into a local and idealistically global minimum from the reality of what people want and need, not what devs and larger organizations think they want and need.
