The solution is for the distro to provide multiple major and minor versions of a package. This is quite common.

If a program depends on a specific version of a library that's not provided by the distro (because it's obsolete, vulnerable, too specific etc), it still can be installed by the package manager, if the vendor provides a suitable version within the package. The nice way of doing this is to avoid colliding with the system-provided package either by using a different name or by installing it under a different path. Many vendors do precisely this when offering their packages.

In both cases, it's easy to uninstall the no-longer used dependency - on the first case, it'll be marked as automatically installed and can be removed with a cleanup command. On the second case, uninstalling the package should also remove the library.
how can one think both of these things:

1. drugs should be legal

2. the sacklers are evil
What I find interesting is how the story is framed. In particular why do articles about corruption in the US (and other first world countries), never feature the word "corruption" explicitly? It is implied that there is corruption but it is never explicitly stated.
If this article was about some less developed country, the word would appear endlessly throughout the text.
Seems like western journalists have bias when it comes to using that word.

Companies can have more money and power than countries. There's not much keeping them from running into the same inefficiencies. Money is often secured through oligopolies that naturally occur, allowing enough money to be spent on inefficiency.

No one will ever be convinced by such autistic data crunching.

Yes, it will. In asynchronous conversations, there is time to think. But with in-person conversations, people feel an imperative to fill gaps with talking. The result is either that (a) you are talking without having the benefit of pre-thought, or (b) someone else is, which makes it impossible for you to think.

There is some Talmudic justification for this kind of behaviour, which contributes to the relatively high exhibition of these traits among those who practice Judaism or whose environment is heavily influenced by that culture (the Sacklers are indeed Jewish)[see below].

The Talmud teaches us quite explicitly that non-Jews may be treated as we may treat cattle - they are ours to exploit in pursuit of our own security and prosperity. There is little that is not justifiable so long as it serves that goal. In fact, more concern is afforded in the Talmud to the interests of other Jews who may be harmed by conflicting exploitation of goyim, than to the subjects themselves.

Of course this is taboo in the extreme by the standards of modern Western society, and of course I have no idea of the Sacklers' private convictions, but just as some may use their Bible as justification for their homophobia or the Koran for justification of their misogyny, some may well use the Talmud as justification for xenophobic sadism and exploitation - which includes the deceptive popularisation of opioids for extraordinary profits in spite of (or because of) the physical, spiritual and financial suffering of others.

[Some quotes for the uninitiated]
"An orthodox Jew is not bound to observe principles of morality towards people of other tribes. He may act contrary to morality, if profitable to himself or to Jews in general." Zohar, Vayshlah 177b

"On the house of the Goy one looks as on the fold of cattle." Mas. Shabbath 31b

"The non-Jew is consequently an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the Jew day and night." Zohar, Shemoth, Toldoth Noah, Lekh-Lekha

Sanhedrin 58b provides that Jews may not be held responsible for the deaths of non-Jews.

> Another, to me reasonable, explanation for the results is that teacher's grading includes potential, based on their experience. It's hard to know, and would be very hard to ethically test.

Before discussing this, I'd like to make sure I don't strawman the point you're trying to make: the only way I can interpret this, as of now, is that you think it's "reasonable" to believe that girls inherently have more potential than boys. And, even disregarding that, that it would be reasonable to grade based on "potential" than on actual performance.

I ask to make sure because there's no way I got that right. Mind you, some groups of people say stuff like that in earnest so I'm not sure if this is an instance of that or, I hope, I misinterpreted.

Personally, I think it's outrageous. OTOH, it's been a while since I last saw a modern computer with an 8" floppy too, so I'd guess it's understandable.
In a project like this I look for a "related work" section (that shows you know the context and are at least not reinventing [square] wheels and have some reason why your thing is different/better than all the other things that do what your thing does already) and a formal grammar (that I can feed to a parser generator etc.).
Chances are, almost everyone, including me and you will act exactly the same given the right circumstances. At this point I don't even think of it as something "bad". It's just the way it is.

Possibly they annoyed the mayor or something.

Notions of consent are different. You do what the doctor tells you, and its an enormous ethical violation to recommend drugs without revealing the way you personally gain from it, or to encourage people to recommend drugs that are not medically necessary.

With legalized drugs there isn't this trusted arbiter telling you what to do, so you can consent easier when you buy and take them.

I agree that it's fraught and there are tons of ethical parallels that need to be worked out but that's one reason.
Taxes are pretty much that, but I suppose "with coercion".

Otherwise, if it's truly pick and choose... how much thought did we give to this? :)

Will everybody pay equally for each law, or rich people pay more?

If rich people pay more, and they decide they don't like the tax avoidance laws, will they be disproportionally funded?

If everybody pays the same, this will be proportionally harsher for poor people.

Most people will not pay for 97% of the laws which may be overall important but don't impact them directly - e.g. I live in Toronto so don't car about fisheries laws, etc.

Some people will not pay for laws they personally don't want to abide buy - from speeding tickets to financial regulations to fitness of goods and services etc.

> In Toronto, Canada a simple renovation of a subway stations entrance (painting, tile, basic refresh) can take several years. All the while they will rope off large sections or shut down escalators for months while there is ZERO work being done.

This most likely happens because of insufficient government funding for maintenance.

Government budgets reset every year; governments can't take unspent program money at the end on one fiscal year and bank it for next year. There is no way to "save up" for big expenses aside from directly allocating sufficient funds in the funding legislation.

That sort of lump allocation is a lot easier to get for new work. The main reason is, new work has better optics--you go from nothing to something. Maintenance, unless it changes the cosmetics, looks about the same at the end as it did in the beginning. Boring! "What did we get for all that money??" citizens ask.

And maintenance is harder to budget for in a lump sum because you don't know how bad things are until you actually start the work. This is generally true of maintenance--anyone who has renovated an old home knows this. Until you open the wall, you don't know how much work needs to be done.

So what you do in government is start the maintenance projects you have at highest priority, find out how bad things are, and then do as much as you can with the budget you have. It it's not enough to complete an atomic unit of work, you just sit on partially-done work until more money becomes available.

And ironically, the irritation caused by unfinished work can help get you the money to finish the work.

If maintenance was properly budgeted, then the subway system could afford to do a full refresh all in one continuous go. Usually it's not, so usually they can't.

Most digital cinema I've been to is actually 2K, including so-called IMAX screens. The black levels aren't all that black either, and the luminosity is low. The only upside is color accuracy and less compression.

Calibrated TVs and home projectors have had better potential quality than movie theaters for a long time.

ISTM the system you describe could lead to more data collection. I.e., a site like HN knows emails, pseudonyms, and posting history. What if they got a request like this from someone who claimed not to have access to the email they used to sign up? HN couldn't possibly comply.

Maybe that doesn't matter because posting history is public. One could easily envision another site that had some non-public data associated with email address, pseudonym, and no other PII. That site definitely violates the requirements you describe.

What do you do to need a symmetric 1Gbps connection?

I have 150/150Mbps which seems more than sufficient - I upgraded from 30/1Mbps because the uplink could be a bit painful pushing databases or container images around, not because I needed 150 (symmetric 30 not an option).

Ya I have a 2018 15” and I feel the same way. It’s slow and the fan runs constantly and battery sucks.

Wouldn't this same argument apply to Starbucks or even just any restaurant in general?

I can make coffee or cook food at home, why would I go some place and pay to do the same thing in a crowd?

The reason is because these businesses are able to deliver a better product than most of us have access to at home. There is also a huge communal and social aspect to doing these together in public rather than alone or in very small groups at home.

I'm not sure Main Street was ever an intended benefactor of 401k/IRA sourced funds to be honest. If they actually were, I'd have expected to see far more growth in the sector rather than the massive degree of consolidation/M&A/diversification we see in big Wall Street actors. I've always seen it as a way for industrialists to double dip into whatever they're paying employees. If you can essentially recoup whatever you match/your employee tucks away in a retirement account, are you really paying out the money? At most you're effectively paying out a token percentage to your loan granting institution for facilitating the transaction.
Who though? The alternatives are just as bad or worse ...
One thing you should make sure to retain is some trust in yourself. A fitting psychiatrist might help, but any random psychiatrist might not. Trying out stuff might take some time and be a delicate balance, but all this can get difficult if there isn't a two-way relationship of trust and respect with the doctor.

The first psychiatrists I met diagnosed me with the wrong condition and prescribed completely ineffective meds (I'm talking an entirely different category of meds altogether, entirely useless stuff that I still took just to show them that I am trying). I then met a better psychiatrist who was definitely more on the money when it comes to the diagnosis but was still inexperienced and not really interested in developing any kind of relationship of trust, so he prescribed to me whatever was at the top of his checklist and pretty much disregarded feedback, trying to double-down on the inefficiency of treatment with MORE treatment and without reasonable explanations when I asked "what about alternatives?".

After a good 6 months of that, I had started to talk in parallel with the person I've praised in my first message, and he agreed to take me on as a patient if I wanted. I politely moved on from the previous experience, pretty much immediately started changing the prescription to something that came out naturally out of a more in-depth and non-judgmental discussion with my new psychiatrist, and since then I've basically been stable. Every follow-up since has been about fine-tuning things, discussing potential alternatives if any side-effect would become difficult or the positive effects of the meds would wear off, and what tradeoffs different approaches could have from a medical standpoint but also with personal logistics (including cost).

To the first ones I met, I was barely a line on a piece of paper, and their own confirmation bias made them prescribe what they had on the shelf in their office.

To the second one, I was a person but "the whole thing" was still a blur and he "stuck with the script", correctly diagnosing things but not deviating from what his textbooks probably indicate to be the go-tos.

The last one saw me as a person, established right away that he was open to my input and very much no-bullshit, pragmatic and digging into a longer history of psychiatry and interactions with patients. I'm not there to make a friend, I'm not there to get free meds, I'm there to figure out how to not constantly suffer as much and what proportion of that can be to an extent carried through medication (until I can do without, if/whenever possible).

I stopped trying to die already at the second one, but I only started living with that third one. And that makes a world of difference. I hope that whatever journey you're on, you get to alleviate the pain in your way.
What you are describing are not “tough conversations”, they are hardly a conversation at all. Trying to misrepresent the parent comment’s claim that they want to suppress all discussion of these topics and then calling their description an attempt at “gaslighting” is fairly poor-faith.

Just curious how many of you made it to generating revenue for your side-project.

I would also argue that we've noralized the idea that if you achieve massive wealth that is the real success and you shouldn't be held responsible for the bad things you had to do to get there.

Most people can't achieve that level of wealth without sacraficing some morality along the way, but when very few of them are held accountable it's just the cost of making billions of dollars.
Employers don't want the liability of sorting. They are outsourcing the legal status of being non-discriminatory.

If a large company were to give an IQ test to every applicant, they would get sued and asked to prove it does not discriminate against a protected class. If a large company hires only from Harvard, they just say that Harvard is non-discriminatory, so that policy is as well
Furthermore I’ve heard it is worse than this, that some very large percentage of opioid addicts were not previously prescribed opioids.

That the path to addiction in many cases was purely extralegal.

But I wish I knew the truth of this, because it would be one of those things where the common narrative is upside down.

Also note that the pre-Contact Aztecs weren't exactly nice people. I believe it was Neal Stephenson who observed that one measure of how much the Aztecs sucked was that when the Spanish Inquisition took over, things actually became more humane.
