I think the focus on the early 2000s doesn't provide enough history to holistically address sex work in the USA. Yes, many more additional laws were passed since then but a lot of them are based on the public health concerns, not solely this one dimensional human trafficking idea. The public health concerns can be addressed now.

Syphilis, for example, was a real debilitating problem 70+ years ago. Today, its something everyone actively avoids, and also quickly treats.

So this particular public health issue isn't perpetuated by rampant diseased sex workers.

Regulated sex workers are cleaner than the general population due to frequent testing.

There is room for many state-level prohibitions to be challenged now, due to the rationale that passed their old laws. Sure there are people that will cite the law as preventing and criminalizing human trafficking, but go back to the public policy discussions regarding the drafted laws and you will often see public health issues that are no longer relevant today. The judicial branch can easily then strike them down. Forcing the legislatures hand.
I've noticed that assumption is heavily baked in everywhere you look. I'll bet after the hundreds of thousands of years we have made it so far, humanity, in one form or another, will continue to persist.

Terence McKenna lectured on this at length. Here are some apropos quotations:

"As a global civilization, we can no longer afford the luxury of an unconscious mind. When you can pull down the fusion processes that light the stars on the cities of your enemies, when you can sequence DNA, when you can map the heart of the atom, then it is entirely inappropriate to have an unconscious mind, because the power that is given onto you is a kind of god-like Promethean power. So how can we switch on the lights on our animal nature…? I think it is very simple: we have to de-condition ourselves from culture. We are sick, we require medical intervention… into what is a galloping, cancerous state of neurosis - the growth and spread of ego. Ego is like a calcareous growth in the psyche of human beings, and if it is not treated, it creates the kind of society that we have. A society based on hierarchy, male dominance, accumulation of physical goods,suppression of the weak by the strong… This is why the psychedelics are so socially sensitive, because they dissolve de-conditioning. Every culture is a scam. Every culture is a lie. A shell game, run by weasels, for the amusement of rubes. If you do not want to be a weasel or a rube, then you need to inform yourself of how the shell game works, and what lies beyond the carnival midway of civilized values. And the way to do that is to go back to the plants, to the original gnosis."

"Culture is an effort to satisfy this weird desire human beings have to close off experience, to live with closure, to force closure. That is why cultural trips are so bizarre; why they don't make sense to anybody but the Witoto, or the Guaraní, or the Americans, or the Japanese. If you are not inside a culture, it seems crazy. Cultures do not make sense because they are not trying to make sense. What they are trying to do is produce closure, which then somehow makes a human being, who is living in the light of closure, a more manipulable, a more malleable, a lesser thing… The message coming back at all of us is: live without closure. That is the honest position given that you are some kind of a talking monkey, some kind of a primate, some kind of creature, on a planet, in an animal body,in a time and space. In the face of that, life without closure is the only kind of intellectual honesty there is. If you have to inoculate yourself against the various means of closure that are around,psychedelics do that. That is why they are so politically controversial and potent, because more than any other single act that you may voluntarily undertake, they pull the plug on the myth of cultural meaning."

Go into more detail. What questions/techniques do you typically reach for to do this?
Same goes for virtually any space that used to be male-only. It's become socially unacceptable (and often illegal) to exclude females from anything, while it's still perfectly OK to exclude males.
This is a good example of an association fallacy.
I’ve always sort of thought of it in reverse. You dont pay an executive to work at your company, you pay them not to work at a different company. In this sense Executive pay and employee pay aren’t directly linked.

I wonder how much of the research and technology from that time has trickled into today's tech?

When I was in college in the early 2000s, the DARPA challenge was all the rage. I feel a lot of the r&d from that time had direct influence on today's tech.

Semi autonomous vehicles have been around for a very long time... But the tech still has a ways to go to get to full autonomy.

Since there are only a small number of such chips, the emulator will also have a library of cartridges it supports. You emulate those chips the same as you would emulate the CPU or PPU. Sometimes it's easy: the add-on chip is just a regular SNES CPU at a higher clock speed. Sometimes it's hard, because it's some sort of obscure finicky twiddly bits.

The situation is significantly worse on, for instance, the NES, which had 40 or so different chips for bank switching, which is thankfully natively (and therefore uniformly) supported by the SNES.
They make money while everyone else works. It is brilliant.

I am a strong believer that open source infrastructure companies are extremely difficult to make work. Once you get enough market share and exposure AWS will just take your open source software and wrap their own service. Examples include MongoDB and Elasticsearch, though both went public and are successful. I just wonder as a purely business move if open source infrastructure software is really the way to go.

A line worker must make 1000s of decisions a year, but even if all of them are made wrong, it won't break the company.

An executive only has to make a few decisions a year, but any one of them could make or break the company.

Selecting people and value setting may seem trivial, but that's because you only see the results, and not the process. Start from a blank slate and try to select the right people and choose the right values to make a company, and see how easy it really is.
However people end up in sex work, their worst enemies are authorities and dogooders. While suchlike pretend concern with sex worker welfare, they offer SFA in the way of true help. The best way to help sex workers trapped in their occupation, mostly by financial pressure and discrimination, begins with decriminalization.
I can see the rc runner itself will save output to /var/run/rc.log . This is great, as far as shell-based systems go -- of course not as good as systemd/upstart (which separate by service), but better than many linux's init systems.

Next, I wanted to check if "run_rc_command" suppressed the stdout/stderr of the program it was running. And here is where I hit a first difficulty:

- The rc.subr manpage you referred to does not seem to mention logging it in any way.

- So I looked in the source.. and it is 1300 line shell script [1], with run_rc_command being pretty complex function, with thousands of lines of code.

I found answer to my question (apparently it does not care about stdout/stderr at all), but this was non-trivial.

Compare it to systemd, which just have this information in the official manpages [2].

Are you still claiming shell-based init scripts are simpler?

(Expert level question: you have a third-party Java app, which provides a single sh file for you to run. Can you use it with your "10 line init script"? Why not?)

> Female sexual attraction favors secure men who don't talk feelings.

No, no. Women love it when men share their feelings. But they've gotta be the right feelings. A man should be brave and confident and supportive and strong and happy and secure. Maybe he worries about things a little, sometimes, but then he's OK again and he always has a plan.

He's unafraid to open up and be vulnerable, of course, but what he's being vulnerable to is never anything that would be a burden on anyone else or reduce his usefulness to the woman.
That’s weird — something else must be influencing the translations.

I’m aware that “condescendiente” doesn’t mean “condescending”, but I’m taking it as evidence that Google Translate interpreted “patronize” with the “to condescend” sense rather than the “to sponsor or support” sense, meaning that word-sense disambiguation works better in those instances.
FAIR Health is a claims db. It doesn't have a single price. You think every doctor should be paid at what percentile - 90th? Doesn't make that much sense to me. I know that's typical UCR.

Also, you don't have to do everything, but you could start by doing something other than complaining about doctors who have ruined many people's lives getting paid less.

I had read a discussion on whether Nevada could ever offer the decadent day spa style that you see in Germany, and basically a bunch of sex workers in this forum revealed how lazy they were and benefitting from the continent wide prohibition.

Compare this to $75 day pass to massive grounds that would put anything on Game of Thrones to shame. $150-$200 per hour to do anything private and sexual. A budget Norwegian Air flight, accomodations and 10 hours of your wildest sexual fantasies and you'll still have spent less than any of the bullshit you'll encounter in North America.

I personally see that model over there and it seems pretty awesome, but people are always looking for something wrong to rationalize their opinion on all sex work, but most of whats wrong applies to any job in these regulated environments. People talk to sex workers, and assume they are all being coerced to say something positive.

So you would not build in mechanisms to moderate the heat output of the core, and have it generating at full power constantly? Ok, what state is the core in before you want to fire the engines? Suppose you want to burn to leave Earth, and agin to slow down at Mars, what happens to the engine core on the coasting period of many months in between? If you're carrying several disposable cores, if there's no way to moderate their output how do you store them safely when not in use and switch them on? Also, whole propulsion cores are lighter than the cooling system for a single core? Really?
Yup, I agree completely. There's some people who say that because the longer 737 is less stable in pitch it should have never been built, and I think that's over the top.

Thank you for the discussion and questions!
Perhaps the insurance would choose an amount to reimburse and the patient could pay the difference if they want to go somewhere more expensive. Isn't that the way most other insurances work? If my homeowner's insurance pays me to repair my house, they don't make me go to an "in-network" contractor. And if that contractor has an "out-of-network" subcontractor I don't suddenly get charged 10x more.

If the patient could choose any doctor because they aren't limited to in-network only and the doctors couldn't charge different prices for insurance vs. cash, and if patients actually knew what the prices were beforehand there would be actual competition and downward pressure on prices.
It's hard to say a hypothetical energy source (commercially-viable fusion) is objectively better than one that actually exists.

As a workaround maybe you could, behind the scenes, split large files into 2 (or more) key-value pairs, and then bill appropriately for the use of 2 key-value pairs instead of just 1.

They were following Boeing's advice! Boeing said if MCAS misbehaves then pull the cutout. They did that but then they couldn't move the manual trim wheel because of the forces on the stabilizer. So they reenabled the electric trim, at which point MCAS jumped in again and everybody died.
> allows competition at the market rate

What market rate?

For-profit hospitals mark up prices by more than 1,000 percent because there's nothing to stop them: https://publicintegrity.org/health/for-profit-hospitals-mark...

What kind of market does not allow me, the customer, to know, at all, what my financial liability is?

What kind of market has players mark up prices by more than 1,000 percent because there's nothing to stop them?

That's no market - that's extortion, plain and simple.

> I'll get on repealing Medicare, EMTALA, and now Balance Billing legislation

The EMTALA has been unfunded for decades.

Hospitals bill $50k for a sprained ankle, write it off after they harass a patient to pay $5k for it, claim the $45k as a loss and pay $0 in corporate taxes because of all these "losses".

Hospitals support the EMTALA because they get these large write offs and federal, state support. Not because of the warmth in their hearts.

Balance Billing?

As long as we are talking about unethical principles, why don't we talk about withholding all cash funds that patients walk in with as a "security deposit" and deduct $150 of it as "handling fees"?

After all, they sat down on the chairs, enjoyed the AC, watched the TV - none of this is free you know.

> insurers honest

Let your patients worry about their insurers. Your patients, more often than not give the insurers a very hard time, for troubles unlikely caused by the insurance company in the first place.

The insurance company happens to collect the money they summarily dispatch to providers and drug companies: the business model they follow actually gains from them reducing their premiums, which they would very much like to, if they could.

Infact, the ACA has capped the amount of profit an insurance company can make which has reduced their interest in negotiating better provider rates.

That metaphor of the ladder - at least on the surface - has a parallel in Zen Buddhism. There's even a Koan about climbing to the top of a ladder, then taking one more step.

It reminds me also of another famous expression, that language is the finger pointing at the moon. In that sense, one might say that Wittgenstein's propositions are also meant to be a finger that points to a truth beyond itself.
I don't think your point makes sense. Obviously venture capital exists for biotech. Since the vision fund lost a bunch of money on safer bets, it would've been better if they lost it on risky biotech bets.

Outside of hydroxide and hydronium, which ions are left with “pure H2O (no minerals etc)”?

To be fair, I'm shocked that so many people trust strangers to walk their dogs. That's insanity and no wonder they get so much hate press. Unsustainable and we're just a few escaped/dead/stolen dogs away from them imploding completely.
I’ve been in Bali recently, and although it’s still a very patriarchal society, I’ve had a distinct sense that masculinity is more fluid than in — say — Thailand, which might feel like it should be similar. There are Balinese guys with flowers in their hair, and I’ve seen none of the aggression that occasionally raises its head in Thailand.

It seems like an extreme false dilemma to end with the sentence “We’re not and should not be robots.”

What has that got to do with anything I said?

Dispassionately trying to understand the situation with careful skepticism, focus on facts and holistic data, and calculated consideration for the type of human flourishing outcome we want is compassionate not robotic.

It’s a way of arriving at correct and optimal social policy instead of feel-good social policy that ultimately hurts people.
EVERYONE is racist. So what do we do? Cancel humanity? "Intolerance of intolerance" is just the latest nickname for tribal battles, that relies on insane acrobatics like computing who has the most intersectional victimhood in order to determine who has to be #cancelled and who is a hero "punching up".
Im intensely curious about how well a press-fit, hand-swappable setup could work in these Si-IF chiplet systems.

Add in standardized, but distinct pin-layouts per chiplet? And only the bad chiplet is wasted in the manufacturing process.

Going greener will mean cutting this kind of waste - throwing the whole motherboard out for one bad chip. Right to Repair laws could finally exist meaningfully for computers.

As for the 33mm to 300mm silicon wafer jump - why cant we just make 20-30mm "quilts" of this "fabric"? Sure, it makes for some wild "puzzle piece" designs. But why not embrace that, allowing for distinct-edges to demark such?

Heck, why throw out the whole silicon board when one puzzle-piece / Si-IF "patch" of the quilt goes bad over time, if the design is still used?

Looking at how you dont necessarily want to connect one chiplet bridging different "patches" of this fabric (or rather, when do you? SLI graphics bridges being what they are), the edges make a nice designated place to put smaller heatsyncs.
