> until their voting demographics have turned over sufficiently to elect more progressive representation

Which for a large number of states is never. Let's not pretend there aren't many states out there that would eagerly overturn all social progress we have made in the last 50 years tomorrow if they could, fully supported by a voting majority of their constituents.

We didn't wait for states to abolish racial segregation one by one. Marijuana legalization (and drug laws overhaul in general to favor rehabilitation over criminalization) similarly has to be enacted and enforced at the federal level.

I don't want to give up semver. When it's adhered to by dev teams (you can fuck right off, Spring 4.x where minor versions had major incompatibilities with previous version), it's a great contract to based your dependency management upon.

All of my major issues using semver is coworkers who just upgrade to "the latest version" in a library that explicitly states it's using semver, and then complain that it's backwards incompatible.

We did this in 2009, called it “The High Test”: http://petrustheron.com/posts/the-high-usability-test.html

What is the high test?

1. Find a stoner buddy who is high and drunk.

2. Instruct them to use your service.

3. Shut up and listen to them shouting questions at you.

Eliminate your inebriated testers' questions and your service will be a dream to use for sober users.

I dug around and found that Mozilla considers Web Serial API to be "harmful" to the web.

> Mozilla's Position - Devices that offer serial interfaces often expose powerful, low-level functions over the interface with little or no authentication. Exposing that sort of capability to the web without adequate safeguards presents a significant threat to those devices.

The number of people incarcerated on marijuana possession charges alone is a rounding error.

This page suggests 0.1%: http://www.therecoverycenter.org/resources/weed-through-the-...

I'm not sure to what extent that's a political advocacy organization, so let's just call 0.1% a lower bound. The absolute upper bound is ~5%: https://twitter.com/JohnFPfaff/status/985996204986241026 But that assumes that everyone arrested for marijuana possession (even if it was only one of the charges) was incarcerated. But that's absolutely not the case. Rather, marijuana arrests are almost always pretextual and used to intimidate; basically, catch & release.

There sure are a ridiculous number of arrests, though, and these days having any kind of arrest on your record can be a significant handicap.

Then people just discriminate on the basis or race/appearances. I don't think there's any getting around the fact that employers want to know this information and will try and infer it if they don't have it.

That's pretty clear given in their terms under the section titled, "Products or services that are otherwise restricted by our financial partners". Like most companies, they are beholden to their upstream providers.
My guess is that Netflix was still trying to establish itself. Many investors probably were skeptical to invest in Netflix so they wanted to create something more splashy to engage people.

At some point Netflix went from a niche service to being a mature established company that people are going to seek out. The splashiness was no longer needed.
Whether they're bad for society or not, my point was that normalization of pot is more of a climb than "just a couple more states, then progress!".
Marijuana is a bit different from purely social issues like gay marriage, it has majority support among Republican voters too. (Nationwide, that is, not in every state.)

Like maybe having a good supply of oil to run diesel generators to supply power for charging stations, maybe?
The state was purple-red for my whole life there (I moved away in 2002). It’s shifted gradually with the urban/rural map and recently the suburban gap. It has one of the most suburban-dense and prosperous counties in the country. It’s been a tipping point in recent elections, and increasingly politically aligned with solid blue “left coast” states all of which have legal cannabis.

I’m looking at it as my childhood home and so it’s not unfamiliar. But it’s so good to see Virginia keep growing.

I here predict that there will not be any producers of fuel from atmospheric CO2.

The prices of extracted petroleum and CH4 will plummet as carbon taxes increase and demand decreases, until only the absolute cheapest extractors remain, and those products will be used only where the carbon tax can be afforded: mainly aircraft, and then only until the much more cost-effective LH2-powered airframes ground them. (Those will be fueled with LH2 generated on the spot at airports using regional solar.)

Solar-powered CO2 capture projects will bid for carbon tax credits. Only the cheapest processes will win bids, so will not produce fuel. Probably they will blow it underground, in places where the ground is porous, and let it react with rocks down there. Turning it into fuel and selling it will not qualify as reclaiming, because the carbon doesn't stay claimed.
How will this play out over the next decade? Huge numbers of useless unemployable druggies?
What's the point of this? M1 has conquered the laptop market (at least the "thin & light" end, gaming is another matter). I'm expecting to see Chromebooks and other ARM devices go wild in 2021.

Intel should ignore M1, it's irrelevant to Intel's business model (making desktop and server CPUs, and mobile CPUs for heavy desktop users who want the same programs on the go).
I think the unknown really is the progression of battery technology. If in 5-10 years every EV's range is 1000 miles, charging stations could be very limited in their economic viability if apartments and homes have ubiquitous installations. Commercial is a bit different but still battery technology would likely have similar effects where it would still push charging to be at the home base.
I was a little surprised that Trump didn't. That seems like an easy beat-the-establishment policy win, or more likely, he'd put the media in the position of having to defend drug laws.
I went through stage IV colon cancer in 2020 at age 37. Just had my 3-month follow-up CT scan today, actually. I had 3 surgeries (colon resection, port installation, liver resection & ablation), 12 rounds of chemo (FOLFOX + Vectibix), 9 before liver surgery, 3 after. I had plenty of fatigue and cold sensitivity in my extremities. I have some peripheral neuropathy maybe 9 months in, and continuing. It was worse, but improved some. It could take up to a year to go away, if ever. Theoretically, I'm in remission or "no evidence of disease" (NED).

One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is that being diagnosed with cancer can give you some anxiety. Doctors can prescribe an anti-anxiety medicine like escitolopram to take care of it. Having a clear head during a hard time can help you make better decisions, ask better questions, and get better care.

maybe a dumb question, but how do we know this is actually a problem? How did they determine what levels were harmful? And ppb seems like an odd unit to use, given that you consume very different volumes of various things.
I do, and i see what the web has become now, and it makes me less likely to be giddy about the next new thing. I think we're at a point where the net is no longer novel enough to be magical, and we see the reality is a lot more mundane and even harmful than anyone predicted.

You can't just throw out grand concepts and wish for magic now; there needs to be a lot more reflection on the technologies people introduce. Are they sustainable, in that they can maintain their original purpose? Do they increase the attack surface of people, groups and societies greater than the benefit? Do they require skill and vigilance beyond the average person to use safely?

I don't think optimism and "it will all work out" is a rational position any more.
I honestly think it’ll pass federally before most of the remaining holdout states come on over. I’m saying this from having worked in the industry. There’s very little resistance at the federal level other than inertia, and quite a lot of red state resistance.

I think you misunderstand the impetus for freeing the people arrested for breaking marijuana laws. It isn't just to reduce crowding in jails -- it's to free people who were arrested and imprisoned under an unjust and insane law.
woah the legislature is creating an automatic expungement process

>What is stopping a law from being passed that operates in a similar way to a pardon?

Nothing. In fact[0]:
"As of this writing [12 March 2020], 26 states, D.C., and one territory have legalized or decriminalized marijuana to some degree. Eleven states and D.C. have done both. Seventeen states and D.C. have enacted expungement, sealing, or set-aside laws specifically for marijuana, or targeted more generally to decriminalized or legalized conduct. Four states have pardon programs for marijuana offenses."

Those people tested their theories, did experiments. They didn't just stick something up their nose and assumed it worked with no further investigation.

Smaller fabs do exist, but they don't enjoy economies of scale unless they could project very strong demand down the road. Nobody invests in such a venture guaranteed to lose a lot of money.

Another issue more pertinent to automotive manufacturing is certification. For example, car makers once had to wait almost a year for Renesas to rebuild their facilities in Naka following the 2011 earthquake despite the company operating fabs in multiple countries. The latter were perfectly capable of producing the product in demand but the cost of certification is so prohibitive that moving production elsewhere was never brought up as an option.
A lot of the places have legitimate reasons for it. You drug test sometimes because drug users can and will steal you blind if they are addicted enough. You don't want drug users operating heavy or critical machinery, or in any job with a modicum of danger. You don't want your day care provider with workers who show up high; by the time you realize it to fire them, they may have done damage.

Not every reason people drug test is invalid.
I have never had the experience of working for any of the FAANGs. But I have worked for several multinational big-name corporations. Much later in my career I decided to take a sabatical and do a PhD in software engineering. I expected it to take 3 years, it took 8 (some of it on part-time basis). I studied and live in Australia. The situation in California USA is reputed to be far more advantageous. From what you write, I suspect you are in Germany. The top German universities have very high standards and a focus on mathematical rigour in most areas of software research.

My observations are:

Teaching is hard work. Preparing lesson plans, drafting assignments and exams, marking assignments and exams and completing the myriad of bureacracy. You can easily spend 2-3 times more time on it outside of the classroom. And you don't get paid for those hours, only the "contact hours".

If you persue an interest from your working career experiences, it might be very hard to get a surpervisor who can relate to the industry side of your work.

Popular research areas form cliques. Negative results are buried, so it's easy to go down the wrong path because it looks obvious, yet nobody has written it up so it's like a bear trap you walk into.

You are expected to publish several papers in "important journals / conferences", the very same ones that seasoned academics have trouble getting published in. Yet, you as a newcomer, are expected to meet the same standards. You might be lucky if your supervisor is well regarded in your field. But second authorship is often not highly regarded.

Publish or Perish - starts from your PhD days and continues until you retire if you choose to go down the path of academia.

There is a great deal of competition for academic jobs, so the chances employment in that area are dismal.

You actually diminish your employment prospects if you decide to return to industry. Being "over-qualified" becomes a very real issue.

Have been an adjunct lecturer (part-time before starting my PhD and during it). It's not well paid for the hours you actually work. And you can have your courses dropped with just a few days notice if enrollment targets are not met. You have to remember that you develop the course material on your own time and without getting paid for it.

Of course, there are existing course materials. The tenured academics tend to grab those courses because they require far less work. The adjuncts are left with the courses that nobody else will touch.

Oh, last but not least, between 50% and 70% of PhDs are abandonded. ABD: "All But Dissertation" is an all too common outcome.

BUT, there are positives:

It is an amazing personal development adventure. As difficult as it is, once you graduate you will feel that it was all worth it for the experience and sense of accomplishment.

As long as you research something that you have a strong interest in, then you scratch a very personal itch and become the world expert (at least for a short-time) on that topic.
If we free people for marijuana possession and sale why not free people for cocaine possession and sale? And so on.
You don't know the elasticity of demand for the non-meat parts. Parent was hypothesising that the demand for it might be inelastic so the price would go up.

Further, a lower price for meat may stimulate demand but it will more likely suppress production rather than increase it. It depends on the costs of raising the animals and the opportunity costs of the farmers. Excess profit is what generally attracts competition and more production. Lower prices are not normally associated with larger profits. Only a few "markets" are much different; e.g. oil, gas, etc.

There's two sides to every price setting action, supply and demand. The current price is where they cross now, so the shapes of the respective curves aren't necessarily clear.

The most interesting thing to me about this is that this is not about Intel competing with Apple. Apple has no interest in selling its chips.

Your is Intel trying to name sure other PC manufacturers don’t jump ship to other architectures and chip makers. Intel doesn’t really care that Apple’s gone, but they do care that everyone else might leave too.
First, those sources are terrible. The first is a single treatment center, with an obvious bias, that provides zero methodology. The second at least seems like a decent authority, but provides no reason to believe his statement.

Second, the actual number of people in for marijuana far outnumbers those charged with possession. Both sources ignore those arrested for "drug trafficking" violations which would still be misdemeanors at best under the new laws, neither considers what various three strike laws have done, and god knows how many people took a plea for something not labeled possession.

Weaken them by making a state where electoral prospects are just decided by them? That is just counter intuitive. If you don't divide the state, they aren't in the majority anymore but it does increase the administrative burden.

Also, you are talking about the same person who gave away land in other states, even the Himalayan ones to the community. They had very limited presence there before.

If you read the history of the religion and subcontinent, there is no reason he would even want to weaken them as well. Leaving the small separatist voices aside, the vast majority is so intermingled with the dominant religion in North India, that there is no reason to do this.
