Actually Quebec is one place where the regulating body has been most successful controlling the use of Engineer as a title (and that isn't saying much).

Damn, I didn't think of your use case. I'm on an iMac/MBP and use the Magic Mouse as my primary input device.

Indeed, and the number of people who would be interested in a Constitutional convention to discuss that (as well as other things that are assumed necessary for a free and stable American society under just laws) is higher than a younger me would have anticipated.

... but a younger me was born before Columbine.
Yes, US has a lot of school shootings compared to other countries. But it is not like all those other countries use surveillance to prevent it, the problem is elsewhere.
What I dislike about a lot of his writing is the weird "mostest contrarianist" vibe I sometimes get. It's kind of hard to describe, but here's an example:

The growing YIMBY movement calls for, among other things, some deregulation of our cities so that more housing can be built. A broadly left-leaning movement pushing for fewer regulations might be something the average libertarian might find encouraging, but galaxy-brain Cowen seems to take the opposite tack in some of his argumentation, that maybe all that regulation is good.

That, and he seems to enjoy just saying random provocative stuff. Today it's that Donald Trump and Greta Thunberg are great orators: https://twitter.com/dwallacewells/status/1201544920110174208
uh huh...

I much prefer his co-blogger, Alex Tabarrok, who seems much more a straight-shooting libertarian-ish econ guy. I mean, you can disagree with his conclusions or policy ideas, but it's much more "what you see is what you get". He's someone I'll read even if I disagree, since it's often reasonably well argued.
Some good points but I disagree. I got caught up in a situation where I really needed a gun. You say that guns aren’t useful for street crime. That just isn’t true. My experience made me an overnight 2A advocate. It’s insane that we give all this power and leniency to criminals and strip innocent people of the ability to stand up for themselves. Nobody will ever convince me that guns don’t help because I have lived it. I am living proof that that isn’t true. And it’s a shame that people in liberal communities have to live it in order to understand it.

There are countries with guns and low crime. Uk has no guns but a stabbing epidemic. The key to public safety is preventing crime with good education, opportunity and very generous disincentive, preferably a swift execution for violent crime.

For my particular situation, in the USA, the people who want gun bans are the same people that refuse to let police do stop and frisk. So it just doesn’t make sense for me to give up my right to have a gun. We shouldn’t need a ban in the first place. It’s other things that cause the underlying violent behavior.

You are so right about the civil suit. Especially in liberal states, you might as well just shoot yourself instead of the bad guy. But that’s a problem with the legal system, not guns. The legal system in general is responsible for all kinds of problems. A person who loses their case should have to pay the other persons legal fees, too. Lots to change. In the meantime I’ll defend myself in a way that is legally sound and with a gun camera that automatically captures an image of the guy attacking me before the trigger is pulled.

Great collection of tools and articles. Plain text is also a great (and the best) choice for datasets. Do NOT use JSON, YAML and friends, for example, as your input format but use plain text with a custom parser to import into any SQL database and than you can easily export to JSON, YAML and friends. See the football.db and the Premier League or World Cup match schedule as living examples [1]. [1]: https://github.com/openfootball
> I'm going to go on a limb and say that the intersection between "people who don't trust the stock client" and "people who don't know about the stock openvpn client and how to set it up" is very small.

I would say the overlap is actually quite big between that. People who don't trust the PIA client would be the ones who know or are able to find alternatives. It's just that the former group is insanely small as is.
I made me a script to load country data from Wikidata. And what do I see in the output? Weird numbers linked to the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. It has zero land, two citizens but 13500 order members, 80000 volunteers, 42000 employees. And it has diplomatic relations with 108 countries—which, according to analysis by experts in whatever field this is, exhibit the signs that the order is indeed a de-facto recognized sovereign entity even though this recognition is not so firm as that of a full-blown state.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_Military_Order_of_Ma...

BTW, if we consider just the members and volunteers, the order would rank twelfth least-populous country, between Andorra and Antigua-and-Barbuda. And its population would be almost 1/5th that of the current population of Malta.

> synonymous with a windfall to owners

It's not. It's just inflation. If I double your salary, but jack the price of everything up 50%, you "got a windfall", but have in real-world dollars earned nothing.

If you own a house worth $100k, but a luxury condo goes up next door full of $600k/each units, and your old house is now "worth" $300k, have you really gotten a windfall?

You still need somewhere to live, the windfall doesn't cover even half the new cost of housing. You could sell it, but there's no where safe for you to land nearby without doubling your mortgage (since your house went up, all nearby ones did too), and paying the extra on your mortgage just to remain housed is a destruction of wealth, not a windfall. You could get a home equity loan out of the new equity, but you'd just have to pay that all back with interest.

It's technically a "windfall" on paper, but it's mostly fake wealth. You are now liable for this "windfall" and owe taxes on it anyway, despite it the fact that it's never physically existed in the real world, and is mostly unusable (except for a few specific scenarios, like cashing out your home to Gentrify some other poorer people out of their homes, in some other different place)

I think there are a few things here. First, a lot of people go to the doctor for things that don't require a doctor at all. Your smashed fingernail is a perfect example - why would you even go to the doctor for that unless you really think your finger is fractured? Same with basic illnesses - waiting rooms are packed with people who have a basic cold and haven't even given it a week to resolve itself. This is really where telemedicine/remote doctors/whatever you want to call it should fill in the gap.

On the other hand, your ankle sprain example is a good one to use for a reason why doctors can be really important for basic things like PT. A rather large percentage of people straight up will not follow a basic PT regimen (let alone a diet/exercise change) to resolve a problem unless 1) a doctor tells them to, and 2) they are instructed on exactly what to do at regular on-site sessions. Ortho offices are packed with people who just want an MRI and some injections rather than having to actually do some work over the course of a few months to get better.

For people who are self-motivated and take care of their own health, doctors are rarely actually needed until you get to the point of needing specific tests and prescriptions. But for the other ~80ish percent of people, doctors are pretty much the only route to getting better.
Can you recommend an objectively more fair alternative? It costs money to run things, and it’s fair for any vendor to charge what they will for a vig, participation in the marketplace should keep them “fair” in the sense that an unfair market wouldn’t have any participants...

Also, if limiting the high percentage does end up being the plan of attack, who exactly is in charge of that?
I was honestly not expecting any comments regarding scrolling but as you've suggested, I think adding a toggle would be beneficial.
Thanks, I have been looking for a good HUGO theme for documentation.
sure, but... I mean, the tech has changed so much and gotten so much better.

If we threw the sort of effort (and by effort, I mean money) into reindustrialization that we throw into, say, selling ads, the problem would fall pretty quickly. Heck, the net effect would be that the same people would work on it, if the money shifted.

(I actually think the bit about using most of the same people is... pretty true? half the programmers I support are actually trained as some other sort of engineer; but writing code is massively more remunerative, say, than actually working as a chemical engineer or mechanical engineer, and programming is something that can be done by nearly everyone who can handle the education, as far as I can tell, required to become a real engineer)

I don't see how that is possible as most of these people are doing subsistence farming. They eat their economic output themselves, there is nobody to underpay them. On the contrary their main problem is that there isn't some large corporation there to enhance their productivity with heavy machinery and fertilizers in exchange for a fraction of the yields.

Would be more interesting if the demo video wasn't such a blatant copy of Beethoven's 9th. Isn't the point to create unique original music?

Of course it is going to be able to create something if you feed it something that is already from its training set.

Good idea to make a DOM example for the calculator! I'm very behind on examples.

Someone recently got very close to having the moxie-native calculator working in a browser's wasm/webgl, which will be mindblowing if they get it to work.
I agree, let's look at the numbers. ~ 300 school shootings in ten years averages out to 30 a year. There are about 100,000 schools in the US. That's a risk rate of 0.03% per school per year risk. Considering that very few people within a given school die per attack, this means that your risk of being killed in a school shooting is basically negligible. Further, your article talks about ANY shooting on school grounds including gang shootings, domestic violence (adults), and accidental firearms discharges so A. almost certainly incidents will be clustered and a middle class school in some random place like what's in the article will have far less overall risk, and B. the actual number of real shootings of the kind that would make the news is far less than 300 over ten years.

The risk of being involved in every other incident class I listed is higher, so that is where we should be focusing our efforts because ultimately a death is a death regardless of what people are scared of. This is basically the terrorism problem: terrorism in the US is this big scary boogieman until you actually look at the data and realize that there's very little terrorism. The school shootings make the news precisely because they are very rare and surprising (and because some media outlets have readership that is in favor of strict gun control so it will play well).

If you want controls to stop school shootings anyway then why not just put in place general healthy population controls: stop bullying, keep a cop visibly on school grounds to deter criminality, engage with parents, and create a healthy environment for learning. All of that costs basically zero dollars and would likely do far more overall good than these silly, expensive, and invasive surveillance systems.

There is an amazing amount of fairly high quality content on youtube these days. For my personal use, it has given all the "traditional" media sources a serious run for their money. If it wasn't for my partner I could easily cancel cable, netflix, HBO, and everything else and just live off of youtube content.

To me, the coolest part about youtube is it is "direct to consumer" with no middlemen. With few exceptions, all the content I watch comes directly from regular people making videos about things they are passionate about (be it mine exploration, building stuff with CNC mills, urban exploration, documenting abandoned malls, filming their day driving a train, picking locks, etc). There isn't some production company that sets guidelines or provides funding... it is just regular people.

I do agree it is a problem that youtube is the only real player in town to host this sort of thing. Hopefully that will change over time.

Hi there! I'm Dylan. I'm excited to help you (and your team, as applicable) to grow, to build, and to ship. I genuinely enjoy listening to, and deepening my understanding of, your needs; working with you to design and develop appropriate solutions; and putting them out into the world. In a pinch, I'm happy to help your growing company migrate from Heroku onto AWS.

Technically, my specialization has been around developing and deploying Ruby on Rails applications and the infrastructure underpinning them. My experience with systems and networks-cum-DevOps well predates the term DevOps, going back about 20 years.

I've long worked with social impact-focused organizations, particularly in education and healthcare. I'm professional, well-exposed to the particularities in these markets, and pragmatic regarding business needs in the social impact sector.

My recent projects include designing and building the backend for a push messaging service utilising Twilio, plugging AWS Translate into a Rails app to machine translate content, encapsulating parts of a source code build pipeline within Docker containers, building out GitLab pipelines, and improving the deployment pipeline for an Elixir/Phoenix app.

Let's have a conversation to see if we can find ways to help each other get better. I look forward to hearing from you.

All desirable properties of a job are either going to come at the cost of fewer desirable properties elsewhere (including lower salary) or at the cost of making the job more desirable and harder to get (both because more people are applying, and because people are slower to leave the job if they like it).

Appliances are cheap-ish. The structure and space for extra bathrooms or a full kitchen are much more expensive than a full appliance package.

So you can save money - but not much - by not having full appliances. You can save a lot more by not building a full kitchen and a second bathroom.
First, I think you need to be realistic: we're going into the third decade of the 21st century and no kids are going to be POKEing, not even on Facebook.

Second, I think you underestimate how tangibly incredible it is to hit play on a basic scene in Unity and see it come to life. I think that this is the reason Roblox is so popular, and Unity is the next step.

I only know of Honda.

Their CEO came to us personally to look at the product we built for them, and set with me on the PC. He was an engineer, and asked very interesting questions. Later this product was used to win the next five Formula 1 championships. Unfortunately Honda had to sell it to Daimler.
They certainly would. Also, bra-ket would be pronounced "brocket", rather than "bracket".
Sure, there's also a city in Croatia (Pula) which means "dick" in Romanian. People don't usually verify what their brand means in other countries, especially if they have no desire to expand to said country.
Yes, exactly. A land value tax is not actually a tax on the land but rather a tax on improvements people have made in the area around the land. Literally unimproved land has no value to tax.
You’re right about the gold rush being over. But what certainly remains true is that, although your product may be failing, it could be possible to identify individual features or adjacent markets that are more promising.
I think my usage of horizontal scrolling is the big objection at the moment.

Do you have qualms with that line? IMHO we provide content for a number of social networks with questionable returns. Yes we have community and can connect on shared beliefs and learn something new but lately it seems that we'd be better off tending to our own spaces and sharing with the larger networks should we choose to do so.
