> Everywhere I look there are nursing homes full of ordinary people. I can't believe more than 0.1% of these people are literally able to afford $10,000/month.

A substantial majority of nursing home patients in the US are paid for by Medicaid; people who have assets often shed them to qualify for Medicaid if they need nursing care.

> People live in those places for 20 years sometimes

IIRC, the average length of long-term care stay is a more like 2 years, with a fairly small fraction over 5 years. And I would think the longer stays tend to be skewed toward assisted living (which is significantly less expensive), not nursing homes.
I'm not convinced the fixed supply of land causes the high housing prices. Here in North America all but the most developed places have a ton of undeveloped space and mostly < three story often detached housing.

Most of land isn't built on at all. Just go through west Virginia, even the stuff that is built is largely abandoned.

I read through Glenn's draft after seeing the outrage on this thread and... it reads like a generic opinion piece.

I think he makes some good points and some dumb ones, but that's besides the point in all honesty - most of the article is him just complaining about the state of the media, making accusations of double-standards, and full of inflammatory language. There's little investigative journalism, no interviews with backing sources, no new facts laid out, just complaining about supposed wrong-doings and coverups. Some of which can be easily refuted.

Look I don't read The Intercept, but this is not newsroom material. I'm not journalist or have any kind of editing experience, but I wouldn't even run this in a school newspaper if I was put in charge. This is editorial material, pure and simple. The fact that he's complaining about censorship is eye-rolling.

I think it's pretty clear that most people here don't understand that the op-ed page and newsroom are different organizations, run by different people, and have different standards, even though they appear on the same newspaper. it's scary that these lines are being blurred more and more by the day.

But honestly, what's really probably going on is that Glenn Greenwald is tired of The Intercept and wants move full-time to his substack page. To do that he's bootstrapping his audience on his new site by manufacturing outrage. I would think most people should see through this...
It doesn’t, which is why benefits are the biggest portion of US government spending.

Technically Medicaid is from state governments or at least some portion of it, but it probably looks the same there.

Is this a shot at the ads being the majority of the content these days, or are you just watching kinda shitty channels?
If you watch so much youtube consider paying the monthly subscription that removes ads which you hate supports the content creators which you seem to enjoy. From what I understand content creators make more money from that than ads. Once google gave the option to remove ads by paying for subscription anyone complaining about ads is wrong as now it's now about the ads but you not willing to pay for the content you want to consume.

The problem with a self-described "problem-based guide" to coordinate systems is that it relies on the user to identify the problem in the first place.

Reality is that these are expensive errors that can be avoided by systematic planning but made far too easy by default software options. I've seen weeks/hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted by proceeding with data analysis without properly considering the coordinate reference system.

If spatial accuracy is a concern and

- your data is vector-based lines or a polygons, there is no guarantee that the edges between your vertices will follow the same trajectory in a different coordinate system. This means that the spatial relationship (intersection, overlap, etc) between two geographic objects depends on the coordinate system and the relative density of points.

- your data is raster-based, you need to resample pixels values to translate between coordinate systems. If your pixels represent absolute/measured values (eg population), you need to consider this carefully.

- In both vector and raster, you need to deal with dateline and pole issues. The earth is not a cartesian plane.

- In both cases, you also need to consider more than the projection. You also deal with datums which define the relationship between the actual earth surface and the theoretical sphere/spheroid the projections are based on. Get this wrong and your results might "look" OK but be meters off - you might not see it visually but it will cause problems for high-precision analysis.

This needs to die in a fire. Like the parent comment said, I will sometimes allow ads to play through if I'm away from the remote expecting the actual content to continue after a 30 second interruption. When you suddenly have the "channel" changed on you from something like this it needs to stop. Hell, I can't even listen to a full album in YT without a "are you still here" after 4 or 5 tracks. That "are you still watching" should come up multiple times in the ad by itself. Maybe the popup should be "Are you still watching? Why?"
Glenn Greenwald appears to be confirming that the source evidence hasn't been verified and can't be examined by him; further, Tucker Carlson has said that he has evidence yet to be revealed.

Sounds like Glenn's colleagues prevented him from engaging in a preliminary bet when no news agencies outside of NY Post and Fox have seen the source evidence.

At best Glenn can play second-fiddle to Fox and NY Post, engaging in meta-analysis from afar. At worse, Glenn was betting a decent chunk of his brand's credibility.
They are saying the DOJ confirms it. So they are about to be prosecuted or this is legitimate.

No, actually friction is closer to the truth. It's air running into air at a shock, a process that generates entropy, just as friction does.

Compression is a process that is adiabatic, generating no entropy. And in an ideal gas the density increase across a shock reaches a finite limit even as the mach number goes to infinity.
A nitpick on technical language: what you describe is a _positive_ feedback loop. A negative feedback loop is one that is able to calibrate its output by applying corrections to fluctuations. On the other hand, a positive feedback is one which can grow out of control, because it does the opposite. I think that's what you meant when describing how failing media outlets will double-down on the wrong strategy.

> reasonable people trust scientists across the globe who spend their entire careers studying this who all say the same thing in the same way.

This appeal to authority is another example of what I am talking about. It's meaningless because if there was a scientist questioning global warming they wouldn't be able to hold a related job or get funding. Additionally, people tend to conform, especially in fields where your career depends on your reputation. For example, the scientific consensus prior to World War 1 was that citrus didn't cure scurvy, even though it had been doing so for hundreds of years prior and had been scientifically proven before.[1] So people started dying from scurvy again. Even the very well prepared, intelligent polar explorers were unable to deal with it properly even though they researched and planned for it, because they relied on the consensus of the scientific community instead of good science.

I remember watching a 20/20 Barbara Walters special years ago on the poor conditions of nursing homes.. fast forward to 2020... My former colleague and I built a QR app-based check-in system for nursing & assisted living - home caregivers to ensure they physically check on each resident as required. I was disheartened & dismayed most facilities just want to turn a blind-eye on the under-staffing issues of their facilities and could care less about improvement...There has to be market-demand to demand change and transparency! I'll keep pushing for change. That 20/20 special motivated me.

Another interesting anecdote about water treatment facilities is the situation in Asia.

For example, Jakarta has a water treatment facility, but every tourist gets stomach illness there. The reason is that industrial facilities siphon off the treated water, and by the time homes and hotels get any, it's untreated.

To give you an idea how bad it is, tourists generally don't drink tap water, but they still get ill from the washed dishes, or not closing their mouth in the shower.

I think the analogies are faulty. The anthropomorphism is used to argue that companies should be allowed to harvest data on a massive scale, because you can not reasonably expect your neighbor not to look out of the window. I find that ridiculous and reject the argument. It also paints a romanticized picture that makes people emphasize with an abstract inhumane entity as if its brand was a person within ones social circle, and that is biased by design. That can be seen when i try to explain the data harvest by some such corporations within the limits of the analogy: my counter example requires metaphors you find absurd and which you describe as "tin foil hatty", because they don't normally happen outside in villages - yet you probably have an extension in your browser that blocks trackers, know how those work and know perfectly well what i reference with the trenchcoat wearing agents of adtech.

> most people do understand that and they simply don't care

That's the thing: if they are well informed, of the appropriate age, and give consent, that is fine by me. But in my opinion the relationship between the mega-corporations and the people is one sided and abusive, so such careless consent isn't worth much. Imagine a village and i say to you "hey that farmer is beating his wife", would you say "well that is how they do things here, most farmers are beating their spouses, and they don't seem to care"? There is something wrong with that village. But i think the corporations as people analogy is overused. For most data farmers the users are more like cattle, not spouses or neighbors. This asymmetry can be seen with other freedoms as well: many people don't read contracts anymore, leave alone know about the freedom of contract. They simply have accepted that the corporations give them one and they sign that unread. After all, what alternatives exist to <monopolised proprietary technology everyone uses>?

> What realistic future do you see where that [unregulated data farming] comes back to bite them

A change of society away from "Liberal Democratic Capitalism" to "Totalitarian Surveillance Capitalism" enabled by mega-corporations abusing their position as gatekeepers for social communication, capitalist markets and even government services.

This is a ridiculous claim disproven daily by thousands of daycares practicing color-coded stable groups.
My conclusion is making sense of both of these.

Why didn't I believe Greenwald initially? Well, I have had the dubious pleasure of seeing many people behave badly and then play the morally-outraged victim to try to legitimize it. There's a particular way they write and talk, and Greenwald's description of events reeked of it.

The Intercept's response made a few jabs but it didn't level any particular wild accusations, unlike Greenwald. It seemed much more credible, although clearly frustrated. I assume (reading between the lines) there he developed a prior history of conflicts and bad blood at the Intercept, and political differences. This kind of blow-up does not just come from nowhere.

Greenwald has since released the emails, and they sound much closer to what the Intercept said than what he did: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/emails-with-intercept-edito...

The editors clearly had substantive journalistic concerns about the extent Greenwald was drawing conclusions from dubious evidence, and the lack of context around it. They're comfortable publishing the parts of the story he can substantiate, but not the parts that are weaker (or less on-topic). There have some political disagreements, but that's hardly censorship.
