Absolutely agree with this. In fact even if the minimum they do is walk back to how the country was before Modi, that would be a huge step forward. Not talking about politics here but just to a time when comedians and journalists didn't have to fear harassment for doing their jobs.

Also a fun fact - Modi has not done a single open, unscripted press conference in his entire 7 years of being in power! Can you actually believe that. He hasn't taken a single question on camera that was not pre-determined. Most likely because of the lesson he learned after the one interview he did with a reputed Journalist a while back before coming to power - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAGAYL8dtic

The effort that he puts into forming his public-image is actually impressive at some level.

I'm not a mesoamericanist. The relationship between indigenous mayans and archeologists is indeed complicated and highly political, but not particularly relevant to our discussion here.

Since you seem to be fishing for someone to point out the issues in your pet theories, I find it useful to start from the assumption that historical peoples weren't stupid about how to achieve their goals. Let's look at the cooling platform hypothesis in that light:

1) It takes a lot less labor to build a tower (like they did at palenque) than to build a pyramid.

2) It kind of defeats the purpose of a breeze driven cooling platform to have a big temple and narrow doors taking up most of the usable area. Triadic pyramids might fit the bill except for all the obvious reasons they don't.

3) The stairs are uncomfortably steep even for modern people.

4) The pyramids are pretty far from where they would have grown crops. Instead they're on elevated rocky ground that could support them.

5) Big fields of crops weren't really the classical mayan style of agriculture. Mayans tended to live in reasonable proximity to their fields and it's baffling why they'd walk a fair distance to the pyramid when they could retire to their much closer, presumably comfortable houses.

6) Cooling platforms would have kept being useful, but mayans stopped building, maintaining, or even using these structures in the postclassic.

People will tell you a lot of things, particularly in tourist traps. Many will also agree with whatever crazy ideas you come up with in the interests of appearing friendly and/or for money. You don't necessarily need to take everything at face value (a lesson I've been trying to teach my father for years).
I do not think that's the slippery slope being made though.

The distinction between "thoughts" and "content" here could be made as "whether it is shared with others".

For example, if someone has a private journal they keep using notebook.exe + a local "journal.txt", and in that journal they write a fantasy work (with a header "this is a fantasy") about overthrowing the government, should they be arrested for that?

What about if they write it in google docs, but don't share it with anyone? What about if they write it as a facebook post? What about as a public facebook post without the "this is fantasy" disclaimer?

In the case of AI Dungeon, my understanding is the stories are by default private, and obviously have an understood "this is fantasy" header by their very nature.

If AI Dungeon were creating facebook posts and the limitation they imposed was "you cannot post this to facebook if our algorithm dislikes it", I don't think so many people would call that "thoughtcrime policing".

What they're doing, as I understand it, is closer to someone requiring that notebook.exe can't edit private files that are deemed "bad" in some way, regardless if anyone else will ever see them.
You've painted the above comment as a negative spin, but I'm not really understanding, in your post, where it isn't just a less extreme version of this same spin.

You're suggesting a human should spend otherwise free time (which would otherwise be spent enjoying leisure, which we can presume has high positive value for that human) to generate value for others, in the hopes of receiving value in return?

In a system where this isn't an iterated version of the game (e.g. you're only playing against other actors a small number of times each), I don't see how this could function without systems like social credit which are abusable at higher levels than the individual actors.

KDE 4.0 was a necessary stepping stone to get where KDE/Plasma is today.

It would for sure have been nice to have a more feature-complete 4.0 release, but I don't see what the dev team could realistically have done better. There were only that many developers, so the only way would have been to further delay the 4.0 release, thus rendering KDE obsolete in a different way by not shipping anything for even longer.

The parent is talking about Fort Collins, which decades ago went to almost entirely underground utilities. Partly for aesthetics, partly because of all of the lovely old trees in the downtown area which kept taking utilities out.

There are some poles around, but most of the city is underground. So in this instance, yes, it was cheaper to run the fiber than to run the fiber AND set up poles. :-)

Most people say they believe some of the ideas in their religion, but often act like they don't.

Extremists believe many of the ideas of their religion with certainty, and act in accordance which can lead to behaviour that is illogical from an outside perspective or ethically unhinged. Extremists are the ones who take their religion too seriously.

You can be an extremist about other ideas too. Like a raw vegan. Arguably regular vegans too - there's no health reason to be 100% vegan vs 95% - probably the contrary.

This point the author makes is an interesting observation:

9. Institutions part 3: global incuriosity

The eight above factors all explain why American infrastructure costs are higher than in the rest of the world, and also explain high costs in some other countries, especially Canada. However, one question remains: how come Americans aren’t doing anything about it? The answer, I believe, has to do with American incuriosity.

Incuriosity is not merely ignorance. Ignorance is a universal trait, people just differ in what they are ignorant about. But Americans are unique in not caring to learn from other countries even when those countries do things better. American liberals spent the second Bush administration talking about how health care worked better in most other developed countries, but displayed no interest in how they could implement universal health care so that the US could have what everyone else had, even when some of these countries, namely France and Israel, had only enacted reforms recently and had a population of mostly privately-insured workers. In contrast, they reinvented the wheel domestically, coming up with the basic details of Obamacare relying on the work on domestic thinktanks alone. The same indifference to global best practices occurs in education, housing policy, and other matters even among wonks who believe the US to be behind.

This is not merely a problem in public policy. In the private sector, the same problem doomed the American auto industry. American automakers have refused to adopt the practices of Japanese and German competitors even after the latter produced small cars better suited for post-1973 oil prices. They instead dug in, demanded and got government protection, and have been in effect wards of the American federal government for about 40 years.

That's part of why I love my current job. I often have to do the whole project from figuring out requirements with customer, all the way to developing the solution.

I find getting close to the customers really helps me understand how to deliver a good solution, and is also very motivating in that I see my concrete suggestions making a real impact for the customer.

For example, not long ago a user asked for a new private feature. I knew that we had some customers that might be interested in it, or at least a variation of it. So I rang up a few users from those companies that I knew worked a lot on the module in question, chatted a bit with them about how their workflow was and what kind of data they had at which times etc.

I used this info to come up with a much better general solution for the original customer, which was very useful for several of our customers.

When sales is doing demos I frequently hear about jaws hitting floors and questions about "how soon can we be up and running?" before any price has been mentioned. It's the sum of those features that has that effect.

A necessary fuel transfer, at least, wouldn't make sense. If fuel was needed to come back, sending it down and back again would have just meant wasting more fuel for no benefit to lug it there and back again.
I came across this in desperation trying to get a Lit element to work in the browser. That requires "bare" Node module names on imports, something the Lit folks admit doesn't work any any browser! Good times. Also, Lit works in JS but is more elegant in TypeScript.

This Vite server handles both transparently with instant hot reloads in the browser as you change any files. You can <script src="someFile.ts"> and it just works. It also resolves bare module imports so you can suck in Node modules.

Finally, it has a "bundler" function to package it all into a final app when you're done w/ developing.

I would also like to know, as I started on something similar myself. My plan was to allow calling an impure function from a pure function as long as the mutation was contained to state that had its entire lifetime within the pure function. To ensure that the impure function only did mutations in such a way I planned to add a special keyword that could be type checked. Never got very far with it though.
As intuitively appealing as the arrow analogy is, it is misleading. In any airplane with a separate stabilizer, you have two horizontal surfaces, and in the case of a canard configuration, the larger surface is at the back. Also, in both configurations, they are producing a net upwards force (equal to the weight in unaccelerated flight.)

But then don't you have to answer to all the media queries?

"They knew about this problem, they even attempted to half ass fix it, but it's obviously their mind is on the subscriber money, and not preventing blatant CHILD EXPLOITATION!"

Then you throw some more money at a yet unsolvable task, and then in 2 years, when some other outlet gets triggered, you have to defend yourself once again.

Getting the text of the policy isn't the whole issue. As you pointed out both the policy and method of verification need to exist, or there is ambiguity.

Given the information in the article, you can't verify any of the traffic or actions that were supposed to break policy.

Because this information could be used to circumvent our proprietary detection system, we’re unable to provide our publishers with information about specific account activity."

On an iphone, when you send a text message, apple will take a look at the phone number you're sending it to and check if it's linked to an imessage account. If it's linked to an imessage account, you're not sending a text anymore, you're using an internet service just like whatsapp.

It's not genuine skepticism. It's people on social media wanting Internet points for pointing something out. It's devil's advocates and "well akshully..." people just saying something to make a point. People don't do it on CIA stories because it's not honest skepticism in the first place. It's not fun when the sarcastic and cynical responses make you even more jaded about your own country.

When Steve Jobs passed in 2011 I was certain that Apple would lose its way and start diluting their products/brand. To the contrary the last 10 years where an absolute tour the force in expansion of the spirit of Apple. Sure there where some issues. There always are. But in general it is incredible how they scaled to such epic proportions while maintaining this high level of discipline and excellence. I am amazed. Congratulations to the people who made it possible.

Edit: typo
> The LM does return to the CSM before the burn so it is conceivable it was needed for some preparatory step before TEI.

The flight plan makes clear that this is not the case.

> Perhaps a fuel transfer or some guidance calculations or some other maneuvers.

Even without reading the details of the flight plan, the LM was designed to carry just enough fuel to get down to the Moon's surface and back up again, with no extra fuel for other maneuvers; there wasn't any margin for any extra if the mission was to be doable at all. So it doesn't seem plausible that the CSM would have had to depend on getting some fuel transferred back from the LM in order to execute TEI.

As far as guidance calculations, that doesn't seem plausible either. The CSM, having been in a single stable orbit the whole time, would be expected to have much better guidance information than the LM, which had just executed a series of maneuvers, some of which were under manual control.
Sorry, what are you asking?
From the article:

The most famous example (the one Musk was asked about) occurred when Navy pilots reported a craft resembling a Tic Tac that was moving unlike anything seen in the U.S. arsenal: They said it “wasn’t behaving by the normal laws of physics.”

The craft’s movements were, however, typical of both military and civilian UFO reports: Descending from 80,000 feet to 20,000 feet in an instant; stopping in midair and reversing direction without inertial effects; exceeding the speed of sound without generating a sonic boom; and submerging into the ocean
Yeah sorry I may have been too harsh in my initial reply, and really nothing against you in particular, but I did get through it feeling a bit angry over it. FWIW, I agree with some of your points for sure and disagree with others I just felt misled and I think that's why in part I responded so harshly.
Highly recommend getting a cheap CO2 meter. We have a couple around the house. It’s amazing how fast a room fills with CO2 when cooking or having people over (pre-COVID). You can become more attuned to it — I have a pretty good idea what 800PPM feels like compared to 500PPM compared to 1000PPM. Weird party trick too.
Builders can be a huge help when you get up to a dozen arguments and above. Seriously, I never want to see foo(13,15,91,39,LIB_YES,LIB_NO,5.0,183.5) ever again haha. Good engineers would comment each argument, good languages support named arguments, but when you have neither it can be a mess unless the library author used builders to force annotation of the values. A close relative of builders are settings struct arguments, which have their own pros and cons. I think Vulkan uses settings structs.
