Many people missed the boat (ironically because of this same attitude) and now need to double down on their biases.
Why would you think so? The signs that worked would look very odd when driven past. Tiny pictures on a screen don’t do these things justice.

On the other hand a different sign is just a different sign.

Your hypothetical poor person isn't just poor, they're suffering in extreme poverty, and the system could be designed to accommodate them.

Tolls on a congested bridge are "regressive" but are practical and make sense. We shouldn't structure society around what makes things less convenient for the rich, there just isn't very many of them by definition. We should structure society around what improves the lives of most people, within the current realities that exists. This is the classic sin of envy where we'd actually rather be worse off if the person we envied was also worse off.

Now maybe there are other reasons to avoid co-pays, such as higher death rates in areas with co-pays. I'd be interested to see a study that demonstrated the tradeoffs of co-pays.
As a software developer, this looks to me like multiple single points of failure, thus a very bad idea -- if any of the dams fails, all development on reclaimed land will be flooded.
The Earth doesn't recycle solar energy; it wastes ≈100% of it by radiating it away into space. Over 99% of it never even gets photosynthesized, just being absorbed as heat and then reradiated as infrared. Far less than 1% was ever accumulated in fossil fuels, and of course accumulating it as heat at the surface would be fatal. Nor does it recycle, for example, crustal iron; once the iron finds its way into a subduction zone and melts into the mantle, it gradually finds its way to the core, never to return. Even the fast CO₂ cycle is noticeably leaky, as a substantial amount of CO₂ is taken up by marine organisms that sink to the bottom and stay there, eventually being compacted into limestone and remaining limestone for hundreds of millions of years (the slow CO₂ cycle), until probably being liberated again by volcanism. So, I think that for most definitions of "waste", it is false that in most natural systems there is no waste.

It's true that recovering materials from the atmosphere and oceans is more difficult than mining them. But most of the materials we're discussing don't end up in the atmosphere and oceans; they end up in landfills. And recovering them from landfills is, generally, much easier than mining them from natural deposits.

Landfills are much more concentrated and heterogeneous deposits of "valuable" elements than the ores from which they are mined; for example, a single accidentally discarded catalytic converter may contain 5 grams of platinum-group metals, which are reduced and relatively easy to recover; commonly mined natural ores of platinum-group metals (the Merensky, chromitite, and contact types of deposits) typically contain 5 grams per tonne of ore, mostly oxidized and thus requiring not only froth flotation but also smelting. And catalytic converter platinum-group elements are far from the only "valuable" elements in landfills.

The trouble is that when the humans go digging around in landfills with their bare hands, it reduces their life expectancy a lot, because of poisons, injuries, and poor safety practices around refining. This is not a new problem for mining — the Spanish silver mines were a death sentence for the enslaved indigenous Americans sentenced to work in them — but the particular measures needed to solve the problem are different for landfills than for other mining. Automation will largely solve them. I suspect that the same ritual-pollution taboos that cause the humans to deprecate garbage collectors, cannibals, and undertakers are a major factor in the slow development of landfill mining.

A Kessler syndrome in LEO will be only a short-term problem, as the lifetime of objects there is limited to decades, not even a single million years!, by atmospheric drag, and the quantity of mass there is limited by launch "costs". MEO Kessler syndrome would be a more serious problem.

Doing things creates messes. Lowering entropy locally — one definition of life — raises entropy globally. Doing more things will create more messes. Doing things intelligently can create safely contained messes.
> For a majority of people, their greatest and most satisfying achievement will be their children.

This sentiment is grossly nauseating, to me. Having children is not an achievement. It may be satisfying and fulfilling, but it is in no way an "achievement".

If your greatest contribution to the world is birthing a child, you have failed as a person.
I'm sure you learned a lot about the problem from maintaining the legacy app.

There is some intuition that develops over the years, but honestly the only reliable way I've found of knowing how to properly solve a problem is solving it multiple times.
As a Greek person who grew up in the region, this conversation has an eerie tone, like hearing two plastic surgeons discussing whether I'd be better with higher cheekbones or with an aquiline nose and how much such surgery would improve my chances to find a mate.

So, could we focus on the fact that this was designed by a man who never lived in the region he wanted to terraform? I have no business advising German people how to change their countryside and that goes the other way too.

I don't really care about a cost-benefit analysis, either. This is just an uncalled for intervention that, er, that nobody called for.
Nursing in the UK is not a matter of "job market trends".

It's predominantly a public sector thing.
Especially since, at least from what I hear from friends, nurses aren't that expensive, and you don't need to hire a new doctor with every new nurse to make quite the difference in patient's experiences.

The whole system amazes me all the time. We have the people who need to think very clearly and be very awake do 18, 24 and more shifts. That doesn't sound like they'd be at peak performance at all times.
They don't just patrol waiting to launch nuclear weapons though. Subs track other ships first and foremost, they have to for their own survival. And as has been pointed out previously in this thread, they can also tap cables as well as eavesdrop on radio transmissions. They can even use hydrophones to detect things like construction, mining, and even weapons testing.

>Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR). Submarines provide the nation a crucial intelligence-gathering capability that cannot be replicated by other means. Operated with care and cunning and deploying multiple sensors, submarines can monitor happenings in the air, surface, or subsurface littoral battlespace, providing a complete picture of events across all intelligence disciplines. They are also an intelligence "force-multiplier," providing tip-offs of high interest events to other collection assets. Submarines are able to monitor underwater incidents and phenomena not detectable by any other sensor. Since they are able to conduct extended operations in areas inaccessible to other platforms or systems, submarines can intercept signals of critical importance for monitoring international developments. The unique look-angle provided by a submarine operating in the littoral region enables it to intercept high interest signal formats that are invisible to reconnaissance satellites or other collection platforms. Furthermore, the ability to dwell covertly for extended periods defeats efforts to evade or deceive collection by satellites and other sensors. The intelligence gleaned from submarine operations ranges from highly technical details of military platforms, command and control infrastructure, weapons systems and sensors to unique intelligence on potential adversaries' strategic and operational intentions. Our submarines can provide real time alertment to National Command Authorities on indications of imminent hostilities. And unlike other intelligence collection systems such as satellites or reconnaissance aircraft, submarines are full-fledged warfighting platforms carrying significant offensive firepower.
There's always email, text, IM, phone, video call, meatspace/IRL conversations. I think the utility of FB is you can passively absorb updates from people without needing to contact them specifically. And send updates in the same way.

But if you can't find the time/inclination/energy to keep in active contact with someone, no matter how infrequently, does a real relationship even exist with them?

>The darkest corners, however, are highlighted more by the news, perpetuating a cycle of negativity and pessimism.

I've basically stopped watching the evening news as a result of this. A guy stealing a wheelchair 2,000 miles away makes the local news, but 100 people helping someone out doesn't merit a mention anywhere.
"Suppose that, at a given moment, a certain number of people are engaged in the manufacture of pins. They make as many pins as the world needs, working (say) eight hours a day. Someone makes an invention by which the same number of men can make twice as many pins: pins are already so cheap that hardly any more will be bought at a lower price. In a sensible world, everybody concerned in the manufacturing of pins would take to working four hours instead of eight, and everything else would go on as before. But in the actual world this would be thought demoralizing. The men still work eight hours, there are too many pins, some employers go bankrupt, and half the men previously concerned in making pins are thrown out of work. There is, in the end, just as much leisure as on the other plan, but half the men are totally idle while half are still overworked.

There are a few reasons this is an unlikely scenario:

2) There isn't just a door to the store, there are security portals that make it difficult to tailgate
3) If a thief is bold enough to steal a phone, they're not interested in petty convenience store theft, they're going to flip that phone for cash
The most infuriating code rewiev was the one where I ended up with code that I considered worst then my original one.

The second most infuriating one was series where I had to rewrite code because rewiever did not knew syntax I used amd claimed it is difficult to read. Three weeks later he was forcing me to use that same syntax - because he found some blog where he learned it so it became necessary. Like what the hell.

As far as I know, all of the other FCC regulated services that permit encryption are licensed in such a way that you need to get the equipment approved, which means they're out of reach of amateurs. I think that, especially in this day and age, there should be a way for hobbyists to be involved in the development of encrypted transmissions - it's been massively helpful for the internet for hobbyists to be involved. But maybe I just missed the existence of one when I went looking?

(Arguably, what I want is another amateur radio service that permits things that aren't brief, personal messages, which could be entirely different from the existing ham radio service.)

The nature article is a fascinating read [1]. Not only is there a health risk, but there seems to be strong evidence that it effects our cognitive abilities. This should be top priority for office workers, and managers to maintain high productivity. Start monitoring CO2 level such that they do not go beyond 700 for too long. Currently, I'm working on in an office with 13 people in little over 20m2. Yeah, we are scrappy, but I think this might the reason that we are all so tired at the end of the day. CO2 levels might be out of control.

Wow. What I would do to be a fly on the wall in the impromptu, perhaps slightly anxious meetings at FB HQ right now. I imagine they're discussing whether or not they should be worried, what they should do about it, or whether they should do anything at all.

This has to be an insane position to be in. If you're responsible for the PR (or anything else) of a company that an ever-growing number of people are starting to suspect shouldn't exist (at least in its current form), what do you do? Where you do you even start?

The only other such case I can think of is big tobacco. Facebook is (probably) not quite that harmful or toxic, but I imagine FB and Philip Morris would have a few things to talk about over dinner.
I don't understand this "unproductive activity" sentiment at all. It's as if we're taking away compute from "productive" processes that are in a dire need of compute! If there are productive processes that desperately need compute, there is absolutely nothing stopping them from getting it.

I can argue that every form of money is fictional, it's only in the minds of people, it's a social construct. In fact, I can go further and say that there is absolutely nothing "physical" in this world, what is physical? just some sensations you're perceiving in your brain? Your brain is making up all the meaning.

There's another (weak) argument: somehow, building all that crazy tech and going to the moon is more important than taking care of humans who're suffering here on Earth. Why is going to the moon more productive?? who benefited from it?

I suspect this is just an intellectual circle jerk.

Sure. Messaging via Signal (or via any other modern mobile messaging app) is designed to be asynchronous and doesn't require all participants of a chat to be online at the same time.
For artistic creation I always come back to this anecdote from the book "Art and Fear":

"The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality.

His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pound of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot – albeit a perfect one – to get an “A”.

Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work – and learning from their mistakes – the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay."
> If I wanted you to know where I took the picture, I would tell you.

That's really missing the major use case, though, isn't it? I like having it enabled so my phone will tell me where I took the picture, because there's little chance I'll be able to a year later.

It'd be nice if the "access photos" API on the device would have a separate permission for EXIF data. Without it, the app would receive only the image itself, not the attached metadata - kinda like how Facebook strips off any EXIF data when you publish a photo there.
Current Apple parts (aka A12X) that are competitive with Intel performance are on a better process node than Intel, have a larger footprint and have comparable power consumption to Intel mobile CPU's. The iPad power advantage is currently mostly OS & chipset, not CPU.
I think it's more related to having to communicate your problem(s) and intention(s) to someone else. I often find myself overwhelmed by tasks at work and home. The best solution is a to-do list, but even reciting out loud the steps necessary is enough to calm the anxiety and focus.

> I suspect the sentiment is different for older generations who are used to losing touch with people.

It's actually the opposite for me. Facebook started nine years after I graduated high school. I was on it in the first year by using my college alumni email address, but most of my high school friends didn't show up until about five years after I joined.

And let me say that it's been amazing for me. I got to reconnect with a ton of people I'd lost touch with! We chat on messenger sometimes, have lots of interactions in each other's comments, and I get to see all the posts about their kids and what they are doing these days.

Some of these people were really good friends in high school but we had no easy way to keep in touch (no cell phones, only phone number we had was their parent's land line, etc).

I would be really sad to loose touch with them again by ditching Facebook.

Yeah, I could collect their current contact info, but as has been said elsewhere, Facebook is a more of a broadcast medium. If I have an update about my life, I'm not going to call 15 people to tell them about it. I'm going to put it on Facebook and let them see it when they have time.

Quality of Service.

Multiple engineer-months of field strength estimates and measurements and extensive deconfliction to provide reliable broadcast service mean the part 73 licensing process is very expensive, yet it results in broadcast services that generally work pretty well. Of course its extremely expensive to regulate that level of QoS.

On the other hand, the Ham Radio licensing process is like: try not to hurt yourself or others, take responsibility for your actions by attaching your callsign (aka legal contact, if it comes to that) to every transmission, and we guarantee absolutely nothing although you folks are historically pretty resourceful LOL. Naturally that costs about $5 to regulate that level of QoS.

Every other service is somewhere in between. Part 87 for aircraft comms is a bit on the expensive side and extensively monitored and interference complaints are very aggressively enforced at a financial loss to the FCC (but, hey, public safety, so its worth it), Part 95-D for CB is for all practical purposes unregulated and as you'd guess its both basically unusable for any purpose and is also free.

Over a very short period of time its tempting to be the first guy to pay Part 97 prices for a license then cheat the system and operate Part 90 services or even Part 73 services on that $5 Part 97 license. Over the long period of time, regulation existed for a reason, the reason has not gone away, and the price and paperwork burden of a Part 97 license would naturally rise up to the existing Part 73 system plus an extra $5 to fund the legacy ham radio service such that its now a net loss to merge parts 73 and 97 services.

The overall process is essentially a wealth transfer from those who are the last to give in and ruin the commons to those who are the first to ruin the commons, which is usually not seen as a regulatory win in a theoretical sense.

As a thought experiment, imagine a world of highly limited internet bandwidth and no net neutrality resulting in massive tiers of bandwidth and billing, and the government proposed regulation that if you set a "I'm a 911 call" bit in your packet, that would be not billed "free" service. You know if they allowed encryption of "911 voice call traffic", that the usual suspects would be trading blueray ISO files by the dozen per month using torrent clients with the "I'm a 911 call" bit set such that the BW was free. I'm not sure that works in the sense of everyone playing along in a system.

In the very old days of radio there was no regulation, as being proposed; it didn't work very well. The FCC wasn't invented just for fun. The FCC is kinda like the EPA, didn't need the EPA in 10000 BC, and the only rational way to get into a future scenario where the EPA is no longer needed seems to be to go back to the population and living conditions of 10000 BC... So I wouldn't bet on "lets just rm -Rf the entire FCC" being implemented any time soon.
