If I had examples off the top of my head, I would have cited them. I'll see if I can find time to do some digging through my browser history, but this is a multi-hour endeavor that you're asking for here, so I might not be able to get to it.

And to be clear, I am not talking about people staking out territory or looking for recognition. I am talking about articles being so badly written they are functionally indistinguishable from being "wrong". Yes, you can decipher them with enough outside knowledge and some other references, but it's pretty tough. And this is not a majority of mathematics articles by any means. But the problem is that if you don't know enough you can't tell whether you're looking at such an article or not, unfortunately...

P.S. I just took a quick look at just my recent-ish Wikipedia edits, and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Limit_superior_an... was correcting a small but obviously wrong claim. Which is, to be clear, not the sort of issue I was referring to in my comment about badly-written articles.

I wonder what might be some good examples of that. IME, it's mostly been college textbooks which suffer from being refreshed for the sake of encouraging new purchases (killing the used market), often by someone other than the original authors and editors.

Of course, some AD&D fans would say everything past 2nd edition might be an example of it.

A lovely headline, but aren't we still hopelessly dependent on Saudi Arabia to maintain our monetary system? (Petrodollar)
Most important lesson I ever learned and I share it freely, because I could have saved 2 years of misery had I really understood. People be like “well you say that but some of us have mortgages, families, kids, cats to feed”. Well guess what. If you burn out, not only will you lose that income, but you won’t be able to look for a job at best, or wind up with hospital bills at worst. In other words, you risk a far worse situation than if you had quit with no notice and nothing lined up. There is no possible excuse for risking catastrophic illness, especially when you have more job mobility and are in greater demand than most professions. There is no “if you can” as hard as that may be to accept, or as irresponsible as it may sound to you or look to others. It’s not good but it’s the least worst option. If the job is harming you badly enough then sorry but if you cannot negotiate a better situation where you are, you must leave for yourself and anyone who cares about you.

I have not researched this deeply, but it's my understanding that infants and young children are generally more sensitive to toxic chemicals, heavy metals, radiation, etc than humans. So while it may be the case that the levels in baby and adult food are similar, it may only be a cause for concern in baby food.

>The (rather massive) flaw in your reasoning is the idea that Google and Apple are the solution to the problem.

What makes you say that?

I see nothing in their comment which implies Google and Apple could or should solve the problems of oppressive countries.

If a criminal who wants to commit murder asks me to sell them a gun and I decline, it would be absurd to think that implied I thought I could solve the problem of murder.

Rather, I would simply be refusing to be a conscious, direct enabler of murder. It would be nakedly malicious for me to reason "well, if I don't sell them this gun, someone else will, so I might as well make some money."
Thanks. I'll look into that. I thought I was stripping out all scripts, but I wasn't checking the image and link insertion. Much appreciated.
It was originally. But agreed, less so now.

They've been adding some really more edge / line noise type features. Consider the walrus operator? You can do pretzel magic with this which make figuring out scope and what happened to what difficult.

I’d like to start contributing money to Firefox. Can anyone weigh in on whether that’s best done through a donation to Mozilla or by paying for the premium Firefox features like Pocket or their VPN? I don’t necessarily need or want these, but they seem more Firefox-focused than a donation to Mozilla.
I believe you are mistaken about welfare checks being unlikely to end in arrest. It's not uncommon for police to find reasons, or create them, to arrest people in the course of conducting one.

A quick Google search for "wrongful arrest welfare check" finds numerous results, including a woman who was arrested when the police entered the wrong address, and a Black woman who was killed when the police officer failed to identify himself.

The unfortunate truth is that anytime a police officer is involved in a situation in the US, it can escalate into a wrongful arrest or worse.

I'll go ahead and admit that I'm a dummy: I find anything related to math on Wikipedia to be an incomprehensible nightmare. There's a consistent failure, in my view, to consider the audience. It's like people are writing to impress a technical in-group rather than to inform the general public.

Maybe I should try the Simple English pages instead. :-/
When we originally implemented the Doxygen command support we looked at the most used commands in the code bases we profiled, and settled on about five, which we cut down to those three. Support for more commands is on the roadmap as we look to cover more of the Doxygen spec. This is a reasonable thing to have that many people would find useful, we just didn’t focus on it for the MVP.

>>> It depends on how the legislation is written, which will determine who makes various decisions and how the decisions are made.

--- Given the regulation itself this is not a bipartisan effort (this is different from support bipartisan)

>>> Can you tell me about examples of legislation that you think have been done well

---I think the constitution is a sound example. Only the takings clause seems to have some pushback . Another hugely succesful act is U.S. Airline Deregulation Act. This is the only relatively recent act of congress that eliminated an entire US Agency (CAB), which itself makes it a rarity among the rare successes. Sherman act is one that everyone seems to come back to (and generally seems to be underpowered vs abused), the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Internet Tax Freedom Act, Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. Most acts restricting the power of the federal government tend to enjoy broad support over time.

>>>Can you also give an example of legislation that has not been done well.

---No child left behind ACT, Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Patriot Act, etc.

You can tie together almost all bad laws passed when they are (a) a reaction to specific events and circumstances (b) not bipartisan (c) usually sponsored by a very specific group. Such laws tend to not pass the test of time.

The reverse is also true, of course.

I was given a huge gift early in my career. When people are upset they do not communicate clearly. They get confused about their own boundaries and demand the wrong things. They are a storm that you sit through and try not to lose your shit too. The information content is negligible, perhaps 2 or 3 bits worth of data.

People ask questions when they are honestly trying to figure out what they need that they aren’t getting, and because you have experience, you can often see where they are headed (a vector value, if you will) “Out of the mouths of babes” comes wisdom that only you appreciate. Questions are, to me, the highest quality critiques I ever get, and the magnitude is relative to the number of people who ask me the same question.
Interesting! Thank you!

I've always argued that while Bitcoin itself cannot be regulated or modified by any government, governments have free reign to regulate citizens' use of it.

> pinpoint people's homes

In the context of a city, I guess it makes sense that this is fairly anonymous.

In my moderately more rural part of the world, where owning a home is much more common, a person's house is part of the public record, and very easy to look up.

Granted that doesn't work for people renting, but the number of people renting instead of owning drops pretty dramatically once you start looking at demographics older than 25-30 around here.
From what I've seen, in C:S, all vehicles are 1:1.

Vehicles will despawn, though I'm not sure what it's based on. Dunno if it's total time on the road, or if it's based on being stuck in a jam for too long, or what.

In any case, a vehicle that despawns is a cancelled trip. A commercial building won't receive its goods. A worker won't get to work. If your city's traffic is bad, a significant number of trips won't complete, and your commercial districts will abandon due to lack of workers or lack of goods, industries will abandon due to lack of buyers or lack of raw materials, and residential will abandon due to unemployment.

Despawning affects service vehicles too, so if they're frequently being despawned, garbage piles up, people get sick and die, crime goes up, etc.

There are mods that will disable despawning. But in a large city, this will likely make your roads turn into gridlock. Once this happens, nobody reaches their destination, and your city quickly goes to shit.

i have felt the same many times... i think the "bug in the program" is: donation doesnt give you a vote/ownership.

i sort of feel like an interesting experiment might be an idea where donating above a certain amount (say 5 dollars) should give someone "a years ownership" and a vote in major policy decisions for that year, sort of like a consumer cooperative

also, in that model, a company couldnt just buy more shares and get more votes (like a stock)... that might be a better model... maybe
You nail that issue on the head. Humanity, at least at the 2+ billion population levels, is truly fucked. We are projected to be just past our 10 Billion peak by 2100, and yet climate projections for that point indicates that even at a 100% vegetarian/vegan population, it is unlikely that the planet could support more than 2 Billion.

We would have the land to grow things, but not the topsoil, fresh water or hospitable and predictable climate with which to do so. Most of our current agricultural lands will, by that time, no longer be capable of agriculture at scale, or any agriculture at all.

This is why I now consider having offspring to be explicit and malicious abuse of those offspring: we now know what is coming down the pipe, and it will lead to lives - even in the first world - to be nasty, brutish and short at some point after the 2050s. And certainly starting well before, for the poorer parts of the planet.

Unless you are a card-carrying member of the Parasite Class (and therefore can pay to delay the fallout for a generation or two) having children now is to doom them to a viciously painful adult life.

> A&G have a binary choice - serve users in (Oppressive Country X) or not

I've said this before, but if you only do the ethical thing when it doesn't cost you anything, you aren't actually an ethical person. You're just an opportunist.

Companies that say they have to do the unethical thing because otherwise shareholders will get mad or fire them, well they're doing the same thing, but it's avoiding personal costs (risking their cushy job) by doing the unethical thing. Doing the wrong thing because your boss will fire you if you don't doesn't mean you didn't do the wrong thing.
french secularism is beautiful. all are equal under law. and freedom FROM religion. if your friend and his friends had this thing where they chopped of skin from their babies genitals. would you be ok with that? why is it ok when religious people do it? clearly following dogma in this case over reason is the symptom of mental illness or damage. religions are much more oppressive if you ask me. they function without a state or government. they are a low evolved form of government used to gain power.
My personal pilgrimage seems to always end up designing designing a stack virtual machine and writing a compiler for it for a toy programming language. I tend to pick this up every time I learn a new language to get a feel for it.

I usually get it to run a simple loop to print hello world and do the inevitable Fibonacci generator and get bored. No fancy things like functions!

One of these things was crudely repurposed into a domain specific language for a job as well which was handy.

You can define code cells in Spyder and execute them with a shortcut. I’m on an older version, but for me it’s “# In[]” to start a code block, then shift-enter to execute. -Edit: to clarify, that string starts a code block, which continues until end of file or you designate another block.

Executing the current line or the selected lines is just F9.

> It's rarely ever been above 5%. Plus, a default doesn't necessarily mean the creditor lost money equal to the full value of the loan plus all interest payments. Some defaults are haircuts, some a break-even, and others simply fail to realize their full value.

Citation on ~5%? I've seen occasional claims that it's that low, but I've often seen it quoted in the ~20-25% range as well. And that ignores the money spent on trying to get borrowers to make good, as well.

> you just have to be willing to ignore fairness, consumer protection, environmental protection satisfaction, and employee satisfaction

Nah, some of the most profitable corporations score really well there. High profit is not well-correlated with bad behavior, even though some bad behaviors can bring high profits. It often just means the company is really good at bringing people things they find useful.

> So, do they merely have these opinions because they are uneducated or because they're misplacing blame in the system?

The people are often educated -- they're merely uneducated on the relevant info for that particular question. Most people don't know how the major systems they interact with work; we should expect them to misplace blame.

_Build Your Own Z80 Computer_ by Steve Ciarcia is fantastic. You will learn the basics of computer architecture, digital logic, assembly language, power supply design, and a basic operating system.

Microsoft suspends donations for politicians who tried to overturn 2020 election
And I recommend self-forgiveness and humility. I gave one of my former, extremely highly toxic bosses the DSM test for psychopathy and he scored like 26 or something. He was very open and upfront about it and how he saw the world. Frankly, the average person is not mentally capable of dealing with that level of ‘personality’ without some serious side study, knowledge, and support. He wasn’t that smart of a guy either. His neuro makeup just made him a natural at manipulating everyone.

But management doesn’t have to be a five star psychopath to be incapable of correction from below. This is one of those times where simply desiring to act in bad faith and the societal backing of management makes a direct report or worker unable to counter the bad faith actions in any meaningful way on average. I’ve done it, I know how to do it, and it takes an incredible amount of wisdom and luck to pull off.
