Obviously, from only the headline, issuing fines is failing to do the work, with a shortfall on the scale of 5 orders of magnitude.

The FCC needs to start criminal prosecutions, including for officers in the major carriers who continue to enable these crimes. The massive scale of the waste of resources in unconscionable, even beyond the scale of the illegal scams.

This is not a hard technical problem to solve, only requires a bit of will. Perhaps implement a system of verified call call sources, all un-verified call sources pay 10¢/call -- probably instantly uneconomical. Until then, jail for these criminals, and by that, I mean the officers of the scam companies, not the call center workers
In your example you mention combustable fire created smoke, which campfires and cigarettes do.

The reason why vaping is so prevalent and popular is there is actual science behind it. When you don't reach 450 degrees there is no combustion. Vaping is from high 100s to low 400s depending on the device and user setting.

When something combusts it releases 20+ more carcinogens, when it doesn't it still isn't great for you but there are less carcinogens.

I think everyone is pro less carcinogens right? Or should we stop regulating car exhaust because "smoke is carcinogenic", less of bad things is good. Vaping does that.

Vape, or non combusted smoke, is also less invasive in public areas as non-combusted smoke doesn't have the tar and stickiness that really smells more intense.

Vape smoke also does not contain paper like rolled cigarettes or joints, so there is less paper combusted materials also going in.

No butts either that are fiberglass and a massive pollution problem.

A huge problem with this issue is that it is vaping oils that is the area of attack, vaping bud or flower is much, much safer. They are attacking vaping as if it is all one thing from dry, flower to oils, to legal market and black market all in one term. It is more nuanced than that.

Another aside, vaping removes all cigarette butts from pollution, it is one of the biggest problems in our oceans and drainage systems and they last forever. Vaping is a market solution that takes away cigarette butts and most vaping devices are reusable, both vaping and cigarettes still have packaging but eliminating butts is a huge win.

No butts about it, vaping is safer and cleaner for the environment.
Yeah I completely agree that spying on us all is the real goal whenever politicians and high level law enforcement officials bring this topic up.

It's not -- or there isn't any clear evidence that there is.

What journalists often seem to confuse is that fruit sugars eaten as whole fruit tend to be fine because the amount of sugar you can reasonably eat is quite limited (you're not going to eat 10 apples or oranges), and the sugars are bound up with fiber so are slower to digest, so "fruit sugars" are generically considered to be "fine".

Unfortunately that falls on its face when you're talking about juice. Almost nobody is going to eat 8 medium oranges in one sitting, but you might easily drink the resulting 16 oz of juice they produce. In that case it's little different from a Snickers candy bar.
Lucky you. Approximately no one in the countries that these calls originate from speaks any central European language, so they don't call.

I have a strategy based on the inverse of this. Sometimes there's a task that I know I'll spend too long deliberating about, or stretching out by getting on and off task due to procrastination.

> but controlling the government can multiply your investment unimaginably

This statement is ironic since Sawant ceded her vote to an unregistered, non-reporting political party called "Socialist Alternative." Amazon may have influence on Sawant's opponent (or may not - most of the money was spent through unrelated PACs, not as contributions), but Sawant has an organization actually controlling her vote outright.

Worse, the fact that a national party had binding control of her vote was secret until a journalist discovered it

https://sccinsight.com/2019/01/07/sa-sawant/ summarizes it well:

> You may be asking, “Is this really different from the way the Democratic or Republican Party works?” It is substantially different in two important ways:

> 1. While members of a political party in a given legislative body self-organize to form a caucus to maximize the impact of their votes, neither the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party are themselves a caucus and they don’t dictate how elected officials will vote. Further, Democratic and Republican elected officials don’t pledge their accountability to the caucus or the party (if they did, there would be no need for a Democratic or Republican Whip), and some frequently split from their party’s caucus on particular issues important to their constituents. The parties also don’t run the offices of elected officials and hire and fire their staff. Voters expect their elected officials to be accountable to constituents, not to a private organization (political party or otherwise), and to make their own decisions.

> 2. The Democratic and Republican Parties are registered at both the federal and state level as political parties. As such, they disclose their leadership and make regular financial disclosures. Also, anyone can join the Republican or Democratic Party; there is no required financial contribution, and no interview required in which one’s ideology is tested before being accepted as a party member. None of that is true for Socialist Alternative.
iPhone 6 was designed badly, you have clear weak line going straight across the device starting with volume buttons and ending on sim tray and no bracing or even components on both sides of PCB in that spot. Apple knew about the faulty design before introducing the product.

> Almost nobody is going to eat 8 medium oranges in one sitting, but you might easily drink the resulting 16 oz of juice they produce.

There's more to it than that. I was lucky enough in China to encounter a vending machine for fresh orange juice. The machine included a press; you could watch whole oranges roll into the press and juice flow into the cup which was ultimately dispensed.

This is great as a novelty, but the juice you got was only very slightly more flavorful than water. No one is going to drink the juice of 8 oranges. What we drink is heavily concentrated, with vastly less water than would have been present in the fruit.
That's very similar to what the WHO recommends:

Intellectual/social/cultural/artsy etc. curiosity is a very nice test that's not too easy to "fake". Narcissists just don't seem to care that much about the outside world; maybe that also requires a kind of empathy they do not have.
IMO this is not a problem. The people building insanely huge models are expanding the set of tasks that can be done by a computer. Who cares how much memory it takes?

Historically, computationally expensive methods eventually become cheap. In the 1980's, researchers had access to Crays to develop physics model, graphics, etc. requiring lots of floating point math and memory. Meanwhile, for the home computers, game programmers had to implement all their math in fixed point. Nowadays, game engines run the same algorithms that were running on the Crays before.

Same with learning. It's great to use tricks to make models fit on phones. Even better: use tricks to make training new models within the budget of a small academic research lab. That doesn't mean we should invalidate all the work that requires a huge cluster.
The best way to assess your reaction to meals with sugar is an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) _with insulin_ (most doctors don't do the latter), and see which Kraft curve you exhibit.

The second best way is using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), if only for a few weeks. Most people are shocked by the height and length of glucose excursions. And dismayed by the total area under the curve. These can be purchased yourself or by insurance. Your doctor can advise. Use Dexcom G6 if you have a choice, for accuracy.

Finally, you can do spot checks at 1- and 2-hours post-prandial, with test strips, a finger prick, and a glucose meter you can purchase at your drug store, Amazon, etc.
I think that as we automate more things we can comfortably afford to model more beings as being worthy of our consideration. People of the past divided humanity into subcategories they could more easily rationalise the exploitation of. We do the same to other parts of the biosphere. I'm not saying the two things are of equal ugliness, but I think they exist on the same continuum.
I agree with the general thrust of your comment, but I think it's one slice of something broader and more subtle that we should be wary of. The sense I get is that we tend to obsess over purity. Then, having purified ourselves, we feel entitled to indulge. So we set up frameworks where some things are good and others are bad irrespective of the amount or context, and act as though we're doing well as long as we make some discernible effort to limit the bad things (as it happens, there's often an elitist streak through the pattern of what we brand bad and when).

In this case, what I'm getting at is that we can't win by just declaring sugar the new bad thing. That would probably just lead to us finding a way to kill ourselves with fat and protein instead. I feel like we desperately need to, as a culture, develop an understanding of and appreciation for balance and synergy.
I totally agree. I actually find this whole discussion encouraging because it indicates to me that people are trying to find that middle ground by talking the whole thing out.
Whole Foods has these. Sometimes, the juice is more potent and nuanced than anything pre-packaged. Depends on the oranges that go in!

This interpretation imputes a principled separation of the "CLI" from the "data storage side". Not a winning bet.
Re: Unit Tests. To say that they're not exhaustive is an extreme understatement. You test the happy-path, maybe a few sad-paths you can think up, and if you're a really fastidious unit-tester, then you add future sad-paths you discover (often post deployment) to your test scenarios. They cover the narrowest slice of the input domain and the assertions are against the narrowest slice of the output domain. They're _just barely_ better than nothing for establishing some correspondence between requirements and implementation.

One could graduate to property-based tests to attempt to do better than this by being able to specify a more global behavioral/constraint property that the implementation must uphold across all possible inputs. However, except in the case of really small state spaces, the input domain is still just a sampling of potential inputs (though perhaps many thousands rather than a small handful that would be represented by unit testing). You're probably 2-3 orders of magnitude closer to meaningfully establishing a correspondence between your requirements and your implementation this way, but purely by way of having created a kind of brute-force-ish automated generative unit testing system.

Re: The article posted. The final API exposed to the end-user is very simple and fairly idiomatic for interacting with registers (the approach could be applied to other kinds of resources as well). It's no more, and probably even less, baroque for such a task than a typical C API, but with much higher assurances provided to the consumer of the API. The compiler is more-or-less enforcing correct access to the underlying hardware model, so that you don't do something dangerous in any random corner of your program, like incorrectly write a value meant for one register to another, flub a mask, or misalign a shift. The article shows a way to get strong assurances with pretty much no extra effort on behalf of a consumer of `bounded-registers` because the crate authors baked the assurances into the crate via types.

How would you cover the domain of all possible combinations of register layouts, field layouts, field to register relationships and field values using unit testing and enforce those constraints from the bottom of the stack all the way to the top? How many unit tests would it be, and what assurances would you be able to claim, and how would you avoid the run-time cost of constantly checking and/or clamping values, and how could you compose those assurance claims with others further up the stack "by construction"?
> In 1990, the census tracts that make up Mr. Katkuri’s Senate district were home to about 35,000 people — 91 percent of them white. Today, its population of 225,000 is just 64 percent white.

A very rapid demographic change - but not that much faster than the US average. Just change 1990 to 1960, and it's describing the US. I suppose the shrinking majority is upset at losing political power.
I have been starting the process of learning hand woodworking by watching the likes of Paul Sellers. It is amazing how much knowledge there is available on YouTube about craftsmanship. Combining YouTube with niche web forums multiplies the learning power. I'm already able to dimension boards with nothing but a hand plane, a combination square, a depth gauge, and winding sticks. I'm just at the start of my journey but I'm so thankful YouTube and all these creators are out there to introduce me to this new hobby!
Fair enough. I'm just not aware of any overnight routes in the US that are a good alternative to a morning (or even an evening) flight. I do take trains when they're a good option, especially Boston to NYC, but that's rarely the case either with respect to money or convenience.
I've had freshly made orange juice and it was very flavourful. I suspect the oranges used in the machine just were particularly watery in the first place.
honestly I find this a bit hard to believe. when I juice an orange in my kitchen I find the resulting juice to be way more flavorful than anything I can buy in the store (other than fresh-squeezed on premises). I almost want to dilute it with water because the flavor is so bright and tangy. maybe it depends what kind/quality of orange you start with?

Microphones with tattle lights and passive wearables
As a finish carpenter for a number of years and having to deal with fixing homeowners attempts at doing their own remodel efforts based on them watching youtube videos, I've come to general law regarding expertise or 'how to' videos. There's an inverse relationship between quality of video and accuracy of information (or maybe just usefulness of information.)

The majority of good polished videos have the least accurate or useful information. These I've surmised are people that would rather be into video production or youtube stardom than they would being actually good at the subject they profess. Alternatively, some of the worst grainy, shaky cam videos I've seen, usually on the jobsite, are some of the best practices, tricks of the trade or just informational rich videos you can get. These are people that are not into being youtube stars and are just part of the 'sharing community' as it maybe was originally envisioned. But as Rumsfeld said, there's known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns, and when you're a homeowner watching how-to videos, its very difficult to know what you should know.... so most of them go by, instinctively, the quality of video production as their guide to what they should be doing.

Sure there are great craftsmen with great video quality and there are some really poor craftsmen with poor video quality but these are not the bulk of what's out there. What rises to the top of search offerings seems to be equally what's been marketed (poor craftsmen, high quality, "please like,share, and subscribe") or what's been organically liked (poor quality, high craftsmanship).

For the tradesmen out there dealing with homeowners, its now sometimes a bit of an uphill battle after homeowners have done their 'youtube' research and have determined how hard the job they've asked you to bid is going to be.
There’s already several sites like this, or at least there was a few years ago. I think some of them went under due to (big surprise) getting scammed. It’s too easy to just keep the numbers, sell the physical gift card to the company, then use them online after a month or two.
I brought up rush hour because it’s an intuitive benchmark.

If my relative risk changes a thousandfold over the day, then I don’t really care about a ~1 point increase; by living in a city, I’ve already tacitly accepted more risk. On the other hand, if it normally swings from 0.9-1.1, then the damn things are a menace (though still not a huge one in absolute terms) and maybe we ought to do something.
It's entirely possible to be able to grasp the content in a mean message, and also demand that the source be kinder. In other words, just because I might demand someone treat me respectfully does not mean I am mentally incapable of grasping the content of a mean message.

I think your argument conflates "there exist" and "forall" - certainly, there exist people that simultaneously demand niceness and are incapable of processing mean messages. But that's definitely not true for everyone.

So you can believe that people should try to grasp any valid meaning behind a mean message, and also believe that people should be kind.
I suspect that this is reading too much into it. As noted by another commenter above:

> "Most states define extortion as the gaining of property or money by almost any kind of force or threat of violence, property damage, harm to reputation, or unfavorable government action."

Under your interpretation, if Alice took Bob's lawn mower without permission and refused to return it, and Bob told her he would call the police and report this unless she returned it, that would be extortion. The police coming and arresting Alice for theft is an unfavorable government action from Alice's viewpoint.

Similarly, if you were contemplating suing someone for damages over a harm you felt they did to you, it would be extortion if you told them you were going to sue to so unless they agreed to settle.
>and very good at hiding it

Not really, you just need to know what to look for. A shallow, materialistic person with very little sense of humor, curiosity of the social/intellectual/cultural/creative kind, or visibly empathetic interest in others is a big red flag. The "curiosity" part may well be the easiest to assess as an observer, because it's not something that can be faked easily.
In this case it’s a problem with the current implementation, but does not prevent a proper implementation from existing in the future.

Non-fresh-squeezed orange juice is, universally, artificially flavored: https://gizmodo.com/dirty-little-secret-orange-juice-is-arti...

I don't agree with your assessment that fresh squeezed orange juice is watery though - its usually not. The china vending machine must not have had good oranges.
I'm surprised you have never made orange juice at home, let alone the fact you have never drunk fresh orange juice before going to china.
