> People can go to work, spend time with family, and even make important life decisions without caffeine getting in the way

Caffeine is my drug of choice for working, but I've found it sometimes affects me badly. As a rule, I only drink coffee in the morning, and try to avoid it in the afternoon.

I know of better substances for spending time with family and making important life decisions.

Saying alcohol, cocaine, meth, etc is not fair. It seems common for people to lump all "drugs" into the same category, even though they have vastly different effects.
TxF is a corner stone of Windows Update, I can't really imagine them removing it. I always assumed they marked it deprecated to avoid supporting it towards customers.
I had the exact same issue with my wife, my theory is that people with an inferiority complex will suppose response 1, and I think that has to do with them frequently exposed to people with superiority complex supposing 1 when they give them feedback.

My take on this is to target the inferiority complex by lifting them up, i now usually say:

I see you used X instead of Y, knowing you, I suppose this was not accidental / was deliberate and I’m now curious
In the West, we’re prone to taking what isn’t ours and acting as if we discovered it, conveniently forgetting its history and context.

If there were already people there, wouldn’t that mean that it had already been discovered? Or is your post supposed to be read as satirical? Sry if I’m misunderstanding here.
That is a generally-useful property in various contexts, such as user-defined stream-processing functions running on shared systems.

I didn't propose to you doing anything for free or additionally inconvenience yourself. But in case if you don't have any preference for media type and if you already have a text you want to publish for free/ads, then it would be nice to duplicate it to other more sane platform, whatever - medium, lj (dreamwidth) or anything else. It was just a suggestion. And if, hypothetically, the only concern is that normal text need more time to be prepared - you can just dump all these tweets as is as a single post and it will still be more readable than in Twitter.
I've designed specific "note-taking" sheets for regular meetings I attend. There are separate places for me to write down "Things I want to say" and "Things I need to take action on" and "Things I need to to pass to other people."

As time goes on, I refined the page. We all travel a bit, so I added a section for "where's the staff this week."

I liked this idea so much that I've created similar templates for each of my regular meetings. A project control meeting has a different format than a staff meeting.
This comment gets it. I think it's disingenuous and borderline immoral to use a big number to drum up sensationalist panic without explaining how it even behaves or contextualizing what it exists inside of. People are reflexively going to complain about how it seems like 2008 all over again even though the beast is, as you say, entirely different.
If I go to a web site, and it's a blank page, that gives me zero information. It's quite trivial to have a fallback, even if it just says "Really sorry, I see you have Javascript off, but this web page does cool things that need Javascript, so you won't see much here unless you switch it on. I promise not to do evil things."

Good point. See the football.csv project :-) @ https://github.com/footballcsv Here's, for example, the Premier League 2019/20 match schedule example - https://github.com/footballcsv/england/blob/master/2010s/201...

The point is as you say - the .csv format is easy to read / parse / write with a script for automation BUT it's way harder to start from scratch to input / type and keep it up-to-date. That's why you need both type of formats (one for hand-writing and one for easy auto-generation).

Apostrophe Protection Society shuts down after 18 years
Personally, I'm happy to trade the mild cancer risk for aesthetics. I just don't make a habit of taking a grinder to my toaster and sprinkling the shavings on my toast.

As for the body, I can report that as of this morning it's within the thermal range of a full-load MBP.

I see the shock hazard as a learning opportunity. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but "Don't stick fingers / metal objects into the internals of electrical devices" seems like solid life wisdom.

Thankfully, I was shielded from the price, but quality costs money. In return, you get a lifetime (or more) of service. You may optimize differently.

And as a final note, there is no toast "ejection." To do so with such violence would be crass and disruptive to my morning calm.

My toast instead gently and incrementally rises to a comfortable removal height, while a chorus of angels sings in the background. Truly an elegant toast maker, from a more civilized age. /Twee

While Opium did cause major problems China was already on their way out due to their own stupidity - as is a reoccurinf "tradition". China had previously cut the navy massively and even turned away from a profitable sea trade over internal squabbling. It lead to being forced to pay ransom to and pardon pirates prior to this and then refused the easiest way to get a prebuilt experinced navy - hire the pirates as the new navy.

While the deeds were reprehensible China already had the taste for Opium. The British were specifically seeking a non-silver renewable trade good to avoid deflationary issues in precious metal standard days and guess what they actually had demand for? Opium. They were imperialist assholes but they never were the original sin - that is letting their targets off far too easily.

I did mention that they were not upfront about the risks. This is definitely not OK, but it is still only one of the factors.

Now, as far as pushing it to doctors: That's not an issue that is unique to this drug or this drug company. It is generally more referred to as an off-label use, which has its good and bad uses. And with things like pain medicines, it gets complicated because there are so many compounding factors. (Yes, they are prescribed too much, but we need more than tight controls on one drug class).
I can recommend it, it is a great primer on the subject.

> It's interesting how it expects librarians to be arbiters of morals and ethics

First of all, nothing you can do in this subject is morally neutral. By calling this "wrongthink", you are also bringing in morality; and implying that perhaps librarians should be arbiters of morals and ethics by retaining certain works.

Secondly, it expects the people paying librarians' salaries to care about these things. Typically this will be the local taxpayers.

Obviously when you found a library, funded entirely from your own personal wealth, then the librarians will arbitrate what kinds of books are or are not kept based on your ideas of morals, ethics, and usefulness.
> In our analysis, we focus on two emerging secure protocolswhich can be exploited to build kill switches: DNSSEC[3] and BGPsec[28]. Both schemes were proposed to provide authentication and integrity to core Internet components, but require global trust in a single central authority (Verisign/ICANN for DNSSEC and ARIN for BGPsec). While it is clear that the authorities themselves can impersonate any entity they certify, this paper analyzes theoperational steps required for an external adversary to disable connectivity by attacking specific points of these key hierarchies.

Chart of PISA results of all participating countries from the source:

https://www.oecd.org/pisa/PISA-results_ENGLISH.png

A quote from the Economist article on PISA results (which the NYT article is also based on):

“In these parts of China the average pupil’s maths score is 591, compared with an OECD average of 489, suggesting local teenagers are roughly three years ahead of the OECD average.”

Note that the total population of the four Chinese provinces that rank global top in all three PISA core subjects is about 180 million.

This following bit of insight from the same article can be implemented and should have impact over time. I would add that small class size might be more important for younger kids. At the junior high and high school levels, larger classes are acceptable when the teacher is engaging.

“Andreas Schleicher, head of education at the OECD, bemoans the fact that lots of countries have, for instance, prioritised shrinking classes over hiring and training excellent teachers, despite evidence suggesting this is a bad idea. As he points out, one place that has given the quality of the teacher priority over the size of the class is Shanghai. Another is Singapore. And they are reaping the benefits.”

https://www.economist.com/international/2019/12/03/after-two...

To handle a larger class, Singapore schools use technology such as an in-class messaging system that allows students to submit answers individually and show them all at once on screen, thus reducing the bandwagon effect and promoting independent thinking. (I saw a YouTube video on it and it was used really well.)

Governments can't just print money (at least not those with central bank independence, like the EU, US, etc.). However they can raise taxes. Central banks can print money but their mandate is to use their tools for the benefit of the whole economy and not just the government. If the US government took over the Fed (to make an example) that would harm investor confidence in Treasuries and cause them to pay much higher interest rates on newly issued debt.

Tolkein apparently furiously denied allegory - although there are preexisting tropes that predate even his influence (decline of the mythic past Götterdämmerungn Atlantis) is hard to not see. Which I suppose probably owes itself both to decline of youthful myths like "parents and ancestors as infalliable" and the distant mutated memories of the Bronze Age collapse where the greatest empires indeed did fall from lofty heights and take millenia to be reached again.

JSON and YAML qualify as plain text, for sure. Plain text is a spectrum. Let's say from "free form" english text as your comment to more machine-oriented structured formats like JSON and YAML. YAML, for example, tries to be a more human plain text format than JSON e.g. it supports keys without enclosing quotes or it supports comments and it supports variants and many shortcuts and much more. JSON is pretty "inhuman" if start hand-editing from scratch and NOT recommended, see Awesome JSON Next for "Why JSON is NOT a good / great configuration format" or "How to fix JSON" and so on - https://github.com/json-next/awesome-json-next

I can totally point out that in similar situations, the result was a market failure, and that it might be good to do something about that before it happens again.

Now, to put up a straw-man against that, why not wait to see, usually these platforms fail pretty quickly anyhow?
Well, if the outcome is either failure of the platform, or success of the platform by capturing (nearly) all of the market, then why no regulate it?
> Because the United States lacks a centralized system for teacher training or distributing quality instructional materials to schools, Professor Koretz said, states and districts did not always effectively carry out the Common Core or other reforms.

I’ve only got a decent sample for one state, but here the state decides what its common core standards and teaching methods will be (rewriting the national standards, I suppose to justify someone’s job) then those are filtered through districts (admin, curriculum advisors) which hopefully turn that into something useful for classroom teachers, who are to use what the district provides. Materials, plans, and so on, are typically not among what’s provided.

Districts usually whip their focus or emphasis between tested subjects (fuck untested ones, who cares, obviously) based on whatever did worst in the most recent test results. Districts can implement all kinds of their own practices or frameworks for discipline and classroom management, materials, teaching methods, class scheduling, class structure in a broad sense, and so on. These are often drawn from popular or trendy books from education researchers and consultants. Admin (principals, superintendents) are often not much on systems or game thinking so tend to partially implement whichever of these they’ve decided on (because some part is inconvenient or otherwise not something they want to do) usually in such a way as to cripple them.

Nepotism is common. Small- to medium-scale fraud is common. Administrators will find a way to spin all their decisions as positive to protect their jobs and pad their résumés for the next one, and no one with the power to correct the record will do so because it’d make the district look bad. Principals do similar things as they all want to be superintendents or at least a principal in some district easier & better known than the one they’re in now.

It’s a mess and it’s impressive it works as well as it does.

You're of course correct, they can still see that I'm a container user because they can only even see me accessing Facebook directly, but fail to see any activity from other pages loading the like buttons and their other tracking crap. So that's a data point to them. Another is that I've disabled the "app platform" or whatever they call it in my profile settings before, so I didn't see their online tentacles to being with and keeping them contained is just to keep them honest (the "do not use app platform" toggle is similar to "do not track" in this regard). But they can't do much with the profile they build on me: they know I'm a container using, ad-blocking, Facebook-barely-using, well-off (I participate in a group about an expensive hobby) dude who they failed to generate a single click off in their entire lifetime. That's not-being-tracked enough for me. Getting protection from tracking beyond that is not IMO scalably solvable using techological means and crosses over to the regulatory realm.

It might also be time for charities to actually be held accountable for the millions they make, instead of paying their CEOs "competitive" pay, and giving them golden parachutes. Also, as more and more billionaires decide to preserve their wealth using charities, it's a no brainer that less people would want to give. In a very real sense, I'd be willing to bet the people that are supposed to be served by charities are getting less than ever before. Remember the Haiti fiasco with Red Cross.
"They also essentially have a eugenic birth policy (with payments that can be made for more children), unlike American which is (let's face it) pretty much dysgenic with the poorest having the most kids and that burden becoming larger and larger on the greater populace."

Um. I don't think any of this is correct, which casts doubt on the factual validity of the rest of the post. Firstly, China's "one child policy" was never as widely spread as the government would like to think or how it appears in international media. In many places, it was "one child, except if you gave bith a girl, try again for free, afterwards there's an affordable raising in taxes, only in sectors that enforce it and you can't grease a palm to look the other way". Furthermore, even if one child policy was effective, it doesn't exist anymore- it stopped being in effect years ago.

As for America and its relationship to the poor and children, this isn't really the case. America's population is broadly shrinking, and its largest burden is actually its elderly. The only population growth in America is from immigration.
