Having actually read the bill: https://house.mo.gov/billtracking/bills201/hlrbillspdf/4634H...

It's clearly trolling for votes. In some ways it's ridiculous.

It could be charitably characterized as a "local control over public libraries" bill. A reasonable sounding proposition that librarians can't use their font of tax money to corrupt the vulnerable children, with, I don't know, whatever it is libraries do to corrupt children. Are they distributing drag queen pop-up books now?

Disappointingly, unlike what the bill's name implies, there is no requirement that the board consist of parents.

The election procedure for the board. It's to be held at a regularly scheduled hearing for your county or whatever jurisdictional unit applies (which the bill is completely vague about) for whoever bothers to show up.

Rep. Baker is lying (or bad at drafting) when he says “Even the bill specifies it wouldn’t be taken out of the library, it would just be put in a section that’s not for children.” The bill says, "Remove from public access to minors," which really means "remove from public access."

Also I'm sorry but I really, really don't care about a hobby if it gets in the way of the progress of the entire human race.

Imagine if a painter in Greece in some century BC convinced his fellow Grecians that building a harbor in the cove by their town was a bad idea because it ruined his paintings of the cove. How was he supposed to look at the marine life if you stuck wood and industry in the water???

Do DoorDash or if it’s competitors allow delivery drivers to set their own prices or max distances before receiving bids?

For example, can you say in advance “Only accept $25+ jobs” or “Max distance 5 miles”?
There is a lot of painting with incredibly broad brushes in this article. Even making a generalization about the life sciences is such an over broad scope that it's ridiculous. Most life sciences people I know are different sorts of macrobiology researchers doing really interesting research and field work - they have their complaints, but very different ones than what's expressed in the article.

While I agree with you that it's super annoying to be browsing in dark mode, just to open an app or website that hasn't implemented this.

But I disagree that Apple should be doing all the work, I really don't want them pushing their design opinions even further upon us (no matter how great they might be)

Not sure if this exists yet (although I think I've seen it before); a CSS parser that will automatically generate all the correct media queries to have a dark mode. Done by smartly inverting colours, possibly giving the chance to quickly override them yourself.
Thanks for sharing; I hadn't seen this before and I loved it. The link to the mentioned podcast conversation with the artist was broken; I tracked it down and wanted to share: https://overcast.fm/+EIubFP3G8
in my experience accessor methods are a particularly nasty kind of YAGNI. I'm not saying you never need to override a field to make it lazy, for example, but the cost of getters and setters has never, in my practical experience, outweighed the cost.
i was an undergraduate 8-hour TA at UC Berkeley for six semesters between 2015 and 2018. i was also part of the union. i'm surprised few of the comments are mentioning the main issue: union contract stipulates that 10-hour or more TAs receive tuition fee remission, but even 9.9-hour TAs receive zero remission. (there was at least one 9.9 hour TA, though not in the EECS department.) in 2015 when the 8-hour TA position was implemented there were initially not very many of them, and there were more 20-hour TAs, mostly graduate students. but between then and now Berkeley's CS program grew exponentially. so more and more 8-hour TAs were needed. what started as a clever hack was beginning harm other departments' workers by setting a precedent (ex, the 9.9 hour TA in chemistry). so the union fought and won.

Berkeley's undergraduate CS education is a unique self-sustaining juggernaut. there are not only TAs officially hired and paid by the department, but also numerous volunteers tutoring, lab assisting and otherwise helping each other out. it would be a tragedy if the bureaucracy destroys this beautiful self-sustaining machine through this decision. but i trust Berkeley will find a way as always to teach the most with the least resources.

This is crazy. Finally with Illumina output data sets life science gets much closer to machine learning, and I see more and more open articles with open downloadable data sets, so the fun for us with data mining background is just getting started.

The field is changing fast, and maybe the more important message should be to have a good understanding of statistics (and using R), but throwing away a successful field is not a solution.
Electrons don't rotate around the nucleus in the same way that planets go around stars, that's a simplification for high school text books. Supermassive black holes don't keep galaxies together either, galaxies rotate around themselves and even that isn't enough, hence dark matter.

I think penmanship as an art is basically dead.

Yes, kids still work on improving their handwriting, but only insofar as it's legible.

I actually think this started out with the death of fountain pens, although computers likely contributed. We might be witnessing the death of connected writing.

I'd avoid introducing Eucalypts to places they aren't already prevalent. Fires don't kill them, but do kill a lot of their competition, they drop very flammable leaf and branch litter, have oily explosive sap, so naturally they spread with fires. With more fires the more eucalypts spread, with more eucalypts there are more uncontrollable fires.

A country where Eucalypts are completely dominant is Australia. In the US California is full of them. Both Australia and California have uncontrollable fire problems.

There are plantations of eucalyptus trees in Brazil, either they don't know what introducing them will do to their country or they just don't care.

Before using eucalypts, consider what introducing a very invasive tree that transforms the countryside into something much more flammable than it originally was will do.
>there are many great youtube channels packed with scientific content, like Smarter Every Day, Veritasium, Mark Rober, CGP Grey, VSauce, engineerguy, Physics Girl, Captain Disillusion, Mathologer, Numberphile, ...

That's what I was replying to. And those videos are not educational. They're 'interesting facts' or 'wow science is so coooooool!!!!!111 yeah science!!!11' channels.

>You don't need to receive a title or a credential to have received education.

Fun interesting facts are great for getting people interested in science, but they are not science! People coming away from a Mathloger video interested in maths? Brilliant. People coming away from a Mathloger video thinking they know maths? Not brilliant.
it's entirely possible that the Berkeley CS professors, who are obviously geniuses but also kind of dolts, knew nothing about these bureaucratic intricacies and took the most obvious way out.
US Army Cancels $45B Armored Vehicle Contest That Drew One Bid
Trying to be careful what I wish for (and probably failing), at this point electronics are such an integral part of Defense that some of the money spent on aerospace really should be diverted to insuring domestic capacity for electronics and computers.

But as several other people pointed out, and several political luminaries from the past have also pointed out, a global supply chain reduces the threat of war. Either goods cross borders or soldiers do.
There isn't infinite labor on a global scale but there sure is infinite labor willing to work for what first worlders consider a pittance. This basically highlights why I consider open borders immigration to be worse for everyone overall. The first world gets dragged down the societal ladder while the rest of the world is robbed of everyone with initiative plus the lost productivity they'd glean from uncompromised first world economies.

Here’s my take on minimalism, expressed as website design goals:

Seems earnest. The test I use is, "would I share this with people who I know disagree with me politically, and would it improve how we related to one another?" The result is a fast filter and a lot of finding original'ish data sources to share.

I think when the internet closed distances (real and mimetic, in the Girardian sense) it created a cultural power vacuum into which everyone in the world is now rushing. The idea of preserving truth and specifically, the power of the institutions that formerly mediated it, is a kind of nostalgic sentiment of people trying to hold on to the vestiges of a culture that has been disintermediated and overrun. In this sense, the media is a failed state.

The other filter is I am careful of adding new words to my vocabulary, because neologisms mean less and less, and are increasingly just shibboleths for group identity among people for whom discourse is just another struggle for power.

Nice toolkit, but it's rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. I have cut out news that takes itself too seriously to recognize that it has lost the plot.

Natgas can’t and won’t die in the short term. It is necessary to balance the intermittency of renewables in electrical generation, at least until there is viable utility scale battery storage. I’m not sure there is another good alternative at the moment. Even if loads were to decrease dramatically (unlikely in my opinion) it would still set the marginal price for electricity in most areas.

There is a massive oversupply globally of natgas at the moment, which is why the long term investment outlook looks bad. It has been overproduced via copious debt, increasing efficiencies have made the extraction price very low, and it’s a pesky byproduct of oil production in some areas (and pricing reflects that in those areas with prices actually going negative at some times). Perhaps if the environmental externalities of extraction were priced in, it would be more expensive but it’s a big reason why the US has been able to retire so much coal over the past decade. Arguably this is a huge net win environmentally speaking.

I think if a website designer does not use CSS then they should not need to implement dark mode either, because if no CSS is specified then the user's settings should be used, so they can have dark if they want it to be. (If a web page has no CSS, then I don't need to put in my own; just since they put in their own CSS rather than using my settings, I have to override them then my own.)
Really? Neat, I hadn't heard about that. I will have to look it up. I wonder if my car supports it.
I second this. Please discuss this with some people in person. If possible see a counselor. You have value in this world that you aren't seeing for yourself. Also, many times in life those periods when you seem stuck are also times that you look back on later and realize you learned valuable lessons. Also, something I try and do when I get depressed is spend some time focusing on helping others. But please, if you are having suicidal thoughts, seek lots of help.
How can you compete on quality when every delivery has been sitting in a box for ~10 minutes prior to pickup and ~15 minutes awaiting delivery? Pizza delivery companies like Dominoes spend $$$$$$$ to develop ingredients and methods that ensure that 25 minutes cold pizza is still palatable. That local hibachi or taco joint can't do the same. A cold, premium taco is just as unpalatable as the janky one from the cheap place.
They aren't forced to pay $15/hour so it makes no excuse to the current circumstances.

Methylation is changes slowly throughout the life, the strongest predictor of age inside the body (that's why it's used as an aging clock).

This also means that it may be the most important thing to learn to manipulate to defeat aging.

Also it's the cause of many non-genetic chronic diseases that come with age.

In summary it's a really really important thing to study.

> supposed to be trustworthy

why is it they're "supposed to be" trustworthy? who told you that they were worth trusting? What previous examples do you have where these organizations acted in your interest or at least to your benefit?

How is it that you expect anyone on this planet to be "trust" worthy? what exactly is it you expect from them? that they tell you the truth as they believe it? that the beliefs they hold are totally accurate and reproduce-able? that your experiences will not diverge from their to the point their advice no longer accurate for you? that you will understand the efforts someone make to communicate to the point that their thought becomes yours?

Incoherent rant; but i hope to make the point that we assign a lot of responsibility to others that we cannot reasonably expect them to be aware of, much less fulfill, here.
Of course, it's subjective. Do you think everyone is born with an innate ability to read Javascript?

I don't know anything about music, but I feel this debate is like guitar tabs vs. standard music notation. I've heard, for example, that Paul McCartney doesn't know how to read music notation. "Yesterday" is still a masterpiece, though. Now imagine if Paul all his life advocated young musicians against musical notation, because "It's hard to learn to read it. And it's overrated."

The truth is - Lisp is fundamental and absolutely essential for anyone who chose a lifetime career in computer science. And it's not going anywhere, anytime soon. So please stop whining about it and at least get yourself familiar with it or stop calling yourself "a pro."

This is a great example of a union doing its job. Why should the TAs be the ones to get less when there is a budget problem. Why not hit the president's salary for the shortfall or any of the other many line items on the budget.

We constantly see people complaining about wealth inequality. Applauding unions for improving workers wages is one of the ways that it gets improved, one small step at a time.
When I was a child, I played a DOS game called Silent Hunter I. Basically, it's a submarine warfare game which you play as a U.S. Navy submarine in World War II, cursing the Pacific Ocean and attacks Japanese warships. When playing the game, I was extremely frustrated about the Mark XIV torpedo onboard - After going through the painstaking process of calculating the projectile, hitting the fire button, I would watch the stopwatch and hoping for the best that the target won't change its course... finally it was the time... nothing! For every five fires or so, there would be one or two torpedoes that never explode - when you need it the most. I was not playing the "hard" mode, it happens even in a "moderate" difficulty setting.

I thought the game developers were making it unreasonable. And a few years later, I learned from a history book about the early unreliability of the torpedoes, and realized the torpedoes in the game were an accurate and realistic depiction of its historical performance. Kudos to the game developers.

Another tool in the game I felt strange was the "Torpedo Data Computer", which is something that you can simply enter the bearing, speed, etc., of your target via its tuning dials, and the machine automatically calculates the firing position for you. I thought it was just the hand-waving of the game developers to make the game more playable while making it unrealistic - why would a computer even exist in the 1940s? I believed it was all pencil-and-paper.

Later I learned it was real as well - totally mind-blowing. When I was a kid, I had no idea about the sophisticated historical mechanical fire control computers in the 1930s-1940s. There is a Hacker News submission of the documentation of the computer. [0]

What's amazing to me is that we built the Golden Gate bridge for $35 million in 1933 (would be $688 million in today's dollars) and it only took 4 years. The Empire State building was built in one year (1930). What happened to our ability to build massive structures quickly? Is it amazing that Musk can do things so quickly or is it just that we got so fucking slow on everything that it seems amazing?
You are what you believe yourself to be. Depression is horrible. I suffer with it as well. But at the end of the day your self worth is what you want it to be. society puts expectations on you to be something specific but that should not define you.

At the end of the day, do what you enjoy and focus on that because the worst case scenario is you "waste" time doing something you love.

Having depression I can tell you its really friken hard to stay motivated but I assure you no matter how bad you feel, it will get better and no matter how hard depression hits you, your not alone in that feeling.

My suggestion is to find a depression group so you can work on mental health and self love first. Once you have a handling on that move forward and do something you love.

"The obvious problem is that I can’t see customers paying that much for delivery - ie. at those wages Door Dash can’t exist."

I am 100% ok with DoorDash and that entire market not existing. We somehow managed without it just 3-4 years ago and it's not like Americans need another ridiculously unhealthy eating option provided with even greater convenience.
Yeah, that’s not a very useful comment. I realize it’s popular to blame NIMBYs for everything bad in SF these days (“NIMBY” is tech for “I’m not getting 100% of what I want, immediately!”), but your comment does nothing to address the substance of the observation: the digging was the fast part of the SF project.

Maybe the whole thing could have been done in half the time without public meetings, but that’s neither here nor there. The work of moving utilities and keeping sinkholes from forming in downtown SF is still incredibly complex, and seems to me to make up the bulk of the schedule.
