Do you think the collapse of insects in the protected Peurto Rican rain forest could be because of pesticides? Maybe. But more likely because of the increases in intensely hot days that kill insects in huge swaths. Insects are incredibly sensitive to temperature.

There is nothing lazy about these studies. Climate Change is the most studied science in the world now. Nothing is lazy about the work they are doing.

No, it isn't literally what they told me. In many other countries, there is no possibility of being charged for any medical treatment you require when you visit hospital to give birth. It is free as in you don't need to have any money or any way to pay and you can be diagnosed and treated for any medical condition that might become relevant while you're there giving birth, and give birth and have any related issues handled, and you never have to pay anything at all. In the US, that is just not true [1].

I'd feel better about this if they gave a discount (even a modest one) to all customers simultaneously. Then it would feel like the plan is revenue neutral and redistributive. They'd get some additional revenue from high-usage customers and give up some revenue from their other customers. Instead it feels like a heads-I-win-tails-nothing-changes situation.
There's a good book called _Police Union Power, Politics, and Confrontation in the 21st Century: New Challenges, New Issues_, [0] and it feels highly relevant to understanding how all of this is playing out.

I found reading code from Nixpkgs to be very valuable as well, and can't recommend it enough. I managed to get by using NixOS without writing my own derivations for several months until I inevitably ran into a need to package something new. Even then, Nix Pills isn't a super useful reference, it's sort of like learning Git by understanding blobs, too focused on details.

Another pain point is looking for documentation of Nix library functions, I've solved this by using Manix[0]

When I release open-source software, I usually release it under MIT. I don't think my projects are as essential as a kernel where the GPL would shine, and I also don't want to hinder companies from using my software.

BSD is fairly similar to MIT, but I feel like the clauses cause confusion. Ideally, I think 2 or 3 clause BSD are the right choices (4 is fine too, but I prefer it less).

What other licenses are their to choose from? What would be the advantages of licensing under different terms?

I've also been curious if a CLA is a good idea or not, I've implemented it to one of my projects (using a GitHub bot) and it hasn't been a problem, but I'm still unsure about the implications of licensing this way.

I'm also unsure about if Apache would be a good fit.
Even with SMB, it is very painful to use - you can't create bookmarks and if a connectivity test fails to the server - it gets removed from the list and you have to add it back again.

The maternal mortality rate in the US is about 50% higher than in the UK for white mothers (8 versus 12), and the same for Black mothers (about 40): https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-47115305.

Asians, meanwhile, in the US have a maternal mortality rate of about 13, which would be 4x higher than Finland, but a life expectancy of over 86 years—several years longer than Japan or Korea, and 4 years longer than Finland. Indeed, the life expectancy of Hispanics in America is about the same as people in Finland.

It would be odd to see such disparities between maternal mortality on one hand and life expectancy on the other. Likewise it would be odd for Finland to be so much better than the UK. So I suspect there is more to the story than “large parts of America are a third world country.”
Understanding the Raspberry Pi HQ Raw format
Close your eyes and try to remember a space from your childhood, like your home or a particular room of your home. Now mentally walk through it, e.g. room by room or nook by nook. What kind of details do you remember? Colors? Objects? Are you impressed at all by the fidelity with which you can remember those things?

Using the Method of Loci is premised on leveraging that sort of visual-spatial fidelity, providing a large number of distinct loci that you can readily recall. Often times people will reuse their childhood home or similar space (e.g. a bus route between home and school) precisely because they can already remember the details so well. Most people usually only have one or a handful of "palaces" that they use. The hard part of the Method of Loci is creating mental narrations for placing facts with the imagery. That can take alot of practice.

I would absolutely do the same if I worked a low wage job. Despite our messed up insurance situation, US laws regarding access to emergency care and bankruptcy are very progressive.

Someone making $15/hr is likely does not have any assets that would be surrendered in chapter 7 bankruptcy. A lot of people would gladly crater their credit score for a few years to delete an $80,000 bill. Plenty of people crater their credit scores over dumber stuff.
Er, no. Different laws at different times. If CC were made illegal, it would be illegal for her too. Or is she actually advocating for different laws for different people?

Definitely agree - I struggled beyond basic integration in High School, and my "why" and "what is it" type questions about calculus were met with annoyed "read the book" replies and young me lost interest in higher maths at a time when my mind was more plastic.

As an adult having these personalities enthusiastically breaking down the fundamentals and using analogies to help cement the concepts intuitively has been a taste of what I imagine having a brilliant and engaging math professor would be like.

Could this really be a difference in fertility rate? The fertility rate in Finland is 1.46 children per women. The fertility rate of hispanics in the USA is 3.08, more than double that of Finland. The third (or more) child born to a woman is not equal in maternal mortality rate as the first child. The rate goes up with each child born. I don't know if we would expect it to go up to 4x higher, but certainly 3x higher wouldn't be unreasonable.
Thanks for the answer!

More gun control is actually shockingly well supported. 83% of gun owners support universal background checks. Even 72% of NRA members support universal background checks.

It’s mostly just the NRA itself that doesn’t, and they control a lot of lobbying dollars. So universal background checks stay dead, despite massive bipartisan support.
HVs are typically 200V/200A ~50kW, Nissan Leaf, Tesla, other various BEVs are 400V/1-2kA ~500kW, except I think Porsche and NIO is 800V/0.5-1kA ~500kW, higher or lower within classes depending on models/generations.

They always make it into parallel blocks of series cells that each has the nominal pack voltage.

By the way you don’t want 3.7V/135kA cable running next to you!

Guix rejects non-free software in their repos, so I would be unsurprised to hear that no contributors use Apple hardware.

I agree that what you are trying to accomplish should be doable and even non-trivial. This is definitely a disadvantage of having a more automated installation procedure.

If you want to have an iPad that can also run Xcode, they're going to point you at an Apple Silicon-based MacBook Air that can run iPad apps.

It’s illegal to turn anyone down in the ER for their ability to pay (at most hospitals). If you show up with an emergency, you will get treated, and the bill comes afterwards. Now, you’re definitely not going to get a luxury treatment, but they will patch you up so you’re not dying.

I've used it on and off for the past 14 months, but I have little love for it. I know VSCode is more or less the industry standard. But coming from Sublime Code, the performance of VSCode is pretty mediocre. On top of big memory demands, the Code Helper uses massive resources and about once every couple days ends up spinning out of control causing the CPU to cook and the fan to spin constantly until it's restarted.

I stuck with it until recently I found out how to configure VIM to do TypeScript code completion, refactoring, auto-imports, and goto definition. Every once in a while I pop into VSCode to refactor a file rename or some other little piece which I haven't figured out in VIM yet, but I don't miss the CPU and memory abuse a bit.

(Note: I suspect if I invested the same amount of time into Sublime, I'd have equally good results with fairly decent performance as well)

Health care is not free at the point of use “in most developed countries.” The UK NHS is an exception. Also, you’re comparing apples and oranges a bit. In the US, an epidural is standard, which requires the expensive services of an anesthesiologist. Meanwhile, the UK NHS is famous for steering women away from epidurals. In the US, getting a private room after giving birth is standard, while in the NHS you’ll be in a maternity ward.
Well, they closed the issue 21 days ago... if that’s the case, they could at least add a comment to that effect.
We are indeed. Neither of us enjoy DevOps so we pay a premium to not have to manage servers. It brings a huge mental health benefit (we are a two person company), we're profitable and our monthly Lambda cost isn't that significant. Honestly, the biggest inefficiency (in terms of cost) is our use of SQS/RDS, which we are ditching soon.

> If you have functionally unlimited funds, you can just use them to astroturf, which, as we've seen, can be far more effective than advertising.

Exactly, the amount of psy-ops via bots and entities like the CCP's Wumao Army are going to be way more effective at steering the narrative in your favour way more than any short-lived 'viral' ad or targeted ad campaign.

Furthermore, it can be sustained for much longer periods of time and can foment and incite way more resentment than any controversial or persuasive ad, because of the associations to other conflict-based facebook groups.

This is all really to say that the underlying surveillance economy is entirely indifferent to labels such as 'communism' or 'capitalism' and seem ephemeral and fleeting when the means/methods and desirable ends are the same as each other: manipulation by discord.

The fact that this takes place is not a surprise as psy-ops, conspiracy and counter-intelligence have been the mainstays of every single Nation-state's intelligence agencies; what is a surprise to me is how widely adopted and how pervasive it has been for so much of the Human population when there is SO MUCH MORE interesting aspects of the Internet. And how readily people are drawn to go for such shallow fodder when presented the opportunity to do so.

It's all so High School, and for those of us that got fed up with it when we were (forced) in it we cannot see the value or appeal to any of it: I got a small chuckle in passing from the whole 'Space Karen' spat with Elon after he supposedly tested positive for COVID and was not able to go to the Cape, but rather than waste my time digging into it or anything else related to that drama that led up to it I just kept the stream from the Crew flight on throughout the entire mission and then stopped listening to anything related to that entirely until I had time to watch the Sentinel launch this morning. Which was pretty rad, and dedicated to an amazing man who devoted much of his life to the pursuit of studying and monitoring Climate Science and Ocean levels and made incredible contributions to the discipline before tragically losing his battle with cancer this year: Michael Freilich [0].

His children's recounting of their father was incredibly touching and it made my day to hear their story and relationship with Micheal.

By contrast, I felt physically ill for several days trying to follow the impact of Anonymous' Blue Leaks on twitter without an account during the riots. I'm not prepared to subject myself to such a degrading sense of mental health for what seems like vapid forms of entertainment, especially with so much more beneficial and fruitful things to be in engaged in, both on and offline.

The concept of 'de-evolution' comes to mind anytime I hear about the latest twitter beef that spills over into real life that often leads to violence: Follow Live: Violent white supremacists (proud boys) clash with Liberal snowflakes (BLM protestors)! Its often feels like we're filling in the missing parts to the prelude of Idiocracy.
