You mean, people are the most gullible people on the planet.

I doubt California has a higher percentage of gullibles, but it certainly has more people in total.
Roughly $1 million, marginal cost (if Wikipedia is to be believed). Each 3 engine Starship prototype conceivably only costs several million.

Compared to what NASA is paying for the SLS engines (over $140 million each), it’s loose change.
If it's a law then the people who made it are law makers, aren't they?
I'm not standing up for dark patterns here (as a person who runs a subscription business I hate them because it makes it harder for people like me to run an honest business) but there is a big difference between offering a virtual service (i.e. Slack) and shipping somebody a physical product like a Newspaper.
Fun fact: The law you are talking about (California Labor Code § 2870-2872, enacted 1979 [0]) was cloned from an earlier Minnesota law (Minnesota Statutes Annotated § 181.78, enacted 1977 [1]). Several other states have cloned this law as well (at least Delaware, Illinois, Kansas, New Jersey, North Carolina, Utah, Washington [2]). So it's not exclusive to California, though it would be nice if more states picked it up.

Indeed. The proposition system is the cause of a lot of people's complaints about California's over-regulation. Direct democracy sounds good in practice, but these days pretty much every proposition is written by a special interest group who just want to protect their special interest.
Why are you insisting on going back to the 1970s?

What you are describing is more or less what my first computer terminal was in 1978: a second-hand ASR33 (https://trmm.net/Model_ASR33_Teletype/). If that's too big and bulky for you, there was a Brother electronic typewriter in the mid-1980s that could save small amounts of text in its memory for printing later. (https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/85456117) You could also interface it to some form of computer.

These things were superseded by word-processors: Dedicated computers that had screens, keyboards and printers. That enable you to prepare text, fix up your typos, shift text around, and when you were satisfied with it, to print out your final copy.

Finally we had general-purpose personal computers that could not only do word-processing, but were just as happy doing financial work and also browsing the internet.

This article seems to imply that people purchasing more things, and especially willing to pay more than they're worth is causing inflation. If that follows, what would be the reasons for that? Being at home, stimulus checks, or something else?
you probably have consumer protection laws, in the US they suck
Trust me on this: do a simple phone capture (photos) as immediately as possible. We always delay things, and then they get lost irrevocably - in fire, flood, during the move, accidentally destroyed. Do plan doing the "capture proper", but do this simple one ASAP - it could take 15-30-60 minutes, but at least you'd have some sort of a backup.

Unfortunately, I am speaking from experience: just recently, I discovered that many years of my own notes were quite water damaged by a leaky pipe I wasn't even aware was there... and the slowly dripping water found its way to it through and over a random maze of random things worthy of the Rube Goldberg himself.

Are you claiming that California people are the most gullible?

I’d like a citation. Many other US states believe there was widespread voter fraud in 2020. Or that the vaccine implants a chip.

These believed lies seem like evidence of greater gullibility than belief that “consumer protection” laws protect consumers.
I like the idea but I have describe how hard I'd see being.

With things like either the flight to the moon or the atomic bomb, the basic principles involved were established and the engineering process to accomplish the task needed to be worked out (which isn't to deny these were huge, difficult projects).

Unlike moon shots and Manhattan Projects, large bureaucracies have poor record for automating discovery. Add to that, that nearly everyone is lost on the question of how to get to AGI (if it's not by brute-force training). And those few people who have an opinion on the subject don't necessarily agree with each other and speak in generalities that can't really be implemented. Having 1000 or 10,000 people brain storming seems as plausible as anything but the problem keeping such pure research at all motivated and directed is itself very hard.

The process actually is kind of like ... a university. In fact, universities are already where creative research tends to happen. But our universities, universities across the world, have evolved to keep researchers on a shorter and shorter leash. To get this unlimited speculation, you'd have to undo this - and lots people have an interest in keeping things this way.

And it's worth considering that wingnuts and crazy people are very interested in AGI along with very smart people - sometimes you get someone who's all three things, even.

So managing 1000 people trying to get to AGI would a serious challenge no matter how you cut it. Plus, the results of AGI might not be what anyone but it's creator(s) want, if that. So there are some hurdles.

I think the point is we have up to 80,000 flu deaths each year in the US. If Covid never happened and 80,000 people died of the flu nobody would bat an eye.
You have to price those externalities pretty damn high to cancel out two centuries of exponential improvements and growth.

We simply aren’t all going to die from climate change.
> You more or less admitted it in the following statement: "It is the case that the OB is relatively less powerful than the Supreme court because the Executive Branch and Legislative Branch of Facebook are one and the same, and so relatively far more powerful". That's essentially how Iran works today, and its judiciary is the opposite of independent.

But I didn't admit this. The OB is an independent court that Facebook has the power to (effectively) ignore. That's not the same as the Judiciary being not independent.

This seems like a fairly large thing to take for granted, and I'd love to see what they think works. With the java project I work on, I'm fine having gradle inject the gradle cache paths for the libraries into my IDE.
it's futile as remote work is self-amplifying. The office is now gonna be the place where people go to work remotely. For a while
How many of those are quite aware that if they don't choose, they're on the chopping block? So far I've known exactly two people who actually want to return to the office more than just like once in a while for fun, regardless of what they tell their boss. And one shouldn't count much because she also is going to retire shortly. I'm pretty sure I'm an outlier but not a "no really it's 60%" outlier.
Sure[1], but it was nonetheless a backward break that caused substantial trouble. I'm only trying to push back on the claim that Linux has a pristine and principled record in this regard, not that the removal wasn't reasonable for Linux. Linux can make certain claims because distros make many of the hard decisions for them. If projects were fronting glibc (like eglibc for awhile), glibc might be able to make similar claims resting on technicalities.

Also, the removal of sysctl by distros took away a facility, descriptor-less kernel entropy consumption via sysctl+RANDOM_UUID, that wouldn't be restored until getrandom was added many years later. Until then jail'd processes (or other code that couldn't make too many assumptions about its environment) had no easy way to seed their RNGs. Indeed, it likely created many unknown security issues that have [hopefully] been accidentally fixed with the adoption of getrandom by various libraries.

To this day Linux is still resolving issues and dilemmas caused by the removal of sysctl. There are many scenarios where /proc can't and shouldn't be accessible. (In most of those scenarios sysctl shouldn't be accessible, either, but especially since the addition of seccomp BPF it's easier to filter scalar syscall arguments than /proc opens.)

[1] Though, I don't remember any man page warning prior to 2008. (Or after, for that matter. I just remember the dmesg warnings, which because of the aforementioned dilemma regarding /proc put you between a rock and a hard place, waiting for the sword to fall, presuming you even caught it in time. Embedded developers might revisit a particular codebase only every couple of years.) Perhaps you're referring to notes that it wasn't portable? But there are countless interfaces that glibc documents as non-portable but infinitely less likely to disappear than even a Linux syscall. Do you have a link to a 2001 manual page?
Yea, would guess transmission issues from the rocket to the ground and the clock is added on the ground somewhere. I wouldn't expect the clouds to interfere if the transmission went up to space then back down (would expect them to do something like that at some point). But maybe microwave from ground to rocket could have had clouds interfere with the signal?
Irony here is that the law you’re referring to was a proposition passed by a ballot initiative. One of the many issues with California‘a government is that the state legislature is hamstrung by laws and regulations that passed by popular vote through the state’s proposition system. On some things this is fine, but it limits how taxes can be raised and what needs to be funded. Sales tax is fine by middle class homeowners, but property tax is a third rail. So we end up with a massively regressive tax system. Or the time when the state legalized gay marriage and then the voters decided that it should be banned. This is to say nothing about things like three strikes and victim’s rights laws that sound good as a single item but considered holistically are a serious problem that the legislature cannot do anything to change.

> Please point out where I asserted there are no issues with activist techniques.

Refer to the comment I replied to where you argue "No one was calling anyone a white supremecist", and then justified this conclusion by stating the social justice redefinition of the colloquial term:

> No one was calling anyone a white supremecist in the conversation. They were likely talking about white supremacy as a cultural and political force in the context of how the policy could perpetrate it.

To your other statement:

> all I've done is point out that you constructed an arbitrary binary specifically to decry the creation of arbitrary binaries.

There are many different types of individual viewpoints and behaviors, so a critique of or an unwillingness to accept a type of behavior normally means that you have tons of others you accept. Disagreeing being a binary choice is a social justice dogma that model the world very badly.
"SpaceX challenged the Air Force over contracts the service awarded in October 2018 to United Launch Alliance, Northrop Grumman and Blue Origin."

From that list, which company is actively launching humans to space? Has Blue Origin even been to space yet? Seriously asking, as I thought they kept going to near space for their testing. ULA might be sending satellites up, and Northrup Gruman can knock the dust off of their lunar landers to see if they can retro fit them , but they're not lifting off the ground by themselve either.

I am a big fan of SSGs. I stopped myself from overthinking it and created several Hugo sites. Created a quick Gatsby site that I did not release just to check it out.

In general, I prefer Hugo. Both offer a selection of simple free themes. Both were easy to find my way around and get started. Mostly I like Hugo better because when I make changes (such as add a blog post), the site rebuilds itself faster than Gatsby.

Both are suited for a no frills personal blog. Likely other SSGs you mention can do this too.

The key is to select a theme with your purpose in mind. Some themes add bells and whistles.

I host 2 Hugo sites out of AWS S3 buckets. They get steady traffic but not a ton. Cheapest path to a website ever. <grin>

Yes, fair point but there are limitations.

1. That license comes from a centralized authority. This can (and will change) in the future. Licensing 50 years ago is radically different from today and licensing 50 years in the future will be radically different from today.

2. The fact that there is a license means there are some terms of service / restrictions -- otherwise why even have a license?

3. I'm not sure how the often the data dumps would occur but if they are not as real-time as possible that creates a flaw area (data can be changed). What happens if stackoverflow, goes back and changes/modifies some user data from 2 years ago Sure, when we reconcile old data dumps with new data dumps there will be a discrepancy, but who will be doing these checks all the time? Blockhain has nodes which secure the system so all data matches.

Why use something that comes with barriers when there is a better solution -- true decentralization.

And apart from data access, there is power in holding a part of the project itself -- the tokens that provide governance. You can be a day1 stackoverflow user and post every single day since then and yet have no say in the direction or decisions of its future. Why not truly decentralize the system and let the participants in the network also decide the direction of the product (including the original team as well).

Finally, there is a lot of transparency when it comes to using blockchain (contrary to popular belief). If the founder decides to move his tokens -- everyone can see it in real-time as all token movement is transparent on the blockchain, along with other benefits.

Overall, blockchain and decentralization brings more transparency, efficiency (but not always), and fairness.

The last 100 years has been an insane bull market for the middle man. From grocery stores (middleman between producer of food to consumer of foods), to Uber (middle man between driver and passenger), to Youtube (middleman on video content), to even storing money (banks). And they take a massive cut for providing that service, despite most of the value coming from the participants. Prior to this, everything was direct -- people went directly to the farmer, or driver, or held gold on their own. I believe we will head back in this direction, where the the "middleman" will become a decentralized entity and the "cut" will be passed right back to the participants.
>Obviously, as so often, the US and UK didn't get that memo.

There is and has never been a US vaccine export ban, and the US has not seized vaccines meant for other countries.

The Trump administration last year signed gigantic contracts for every planned vaccine, because no one knew which ones would work. Like, enough for every American from one manufacturer, let alone the current four major available ones. More importantly, the contracts guaranteed the US the earliest deliveries.

The UK signed a similar contract for the AstraZeneca vaccine. The EU and Canada did not assure themselves of such quantities. Canada also bet on CanSino because it was afraid that the US would ban vaccine exports (which, again, never happened). Of course, the Chinese did not live up to the contract.

Before you say "But what about—", the Trump executive order from December 2020 merely sets up the legal framework to prohibit exports if desired. But that does not mean that the framework is invoked. Let me repeat: The US signed contracts that were a) huge in size/scope and b) from every pharmaceutical company working on a vaccine, which c) got the country the largest and among the first deliveries. The UK did the same thing with the AstraZeneca vaccine, and spent a lot of money to retool domestic plants to produce it.

If the situation were different, might the US have implemented a ban on exports, similar to what the EU did implement recently? Perhaps. But, fortunately, the US never faced this issue, because of the huge amounts of money it invested a year ago and the contracts it signed with said money.
As an avid fan, I enjoyed how Breaking Bad wrapped things up. Checking right now, it has a 9.9/10 rating on IMDB as well. Dexter, one of the examples in this article, was falling apart before the final episode. The Simpsons, unfortunately, may end up having more bad episodes than good. Thanks to a user on Reddit, you can see the badness creeping in visually https://i.redd.it/edv7vzciu8r41.png
I dont understand the point of these. Framing is one of the fastest parts to build. Its mainly everything else that takes the longest. All the finishing work that takes much longer than framing.

This isn’t accurate at all. Each province was pretty much doing their own thing. BC didn’t even have a mask mandate until late last year.

The federal govt requires a quarantine when arriving by plane but thousands have said “no” (how is that possible) and been threatened with a fine that costs the same or slightly more than quarantine.

It’s been a major cock up.
It may be that the gullibility has been propagating in the time domain, so people everywhere are just dumber than ever, but it just seems to me that before I moved to California I has never met anyone who thought 5G was a way to activate a government mind-control weapon, or that you could benefit from a "juice cleanse".

The risks on your morning commute are not preventable by effort on your part. You can drive with care, but there is still substantial risk no matter what.

Unknown but remote risks with any vaccine are really quite substantially less dangerous than the known and quantifiable risk of your commute. We're talking like three orders of magnitude or more which leaves a lot of room for unknown risks.
Once you're used to a certain lifestyle, it's hard to go back. My guess is that people are just willing to pay more to maintain their lifestyles... but everything has a limit.
I played CS very non-professionally right at that same time. My go to weapon was the AUG/Bullpup. It seemed to me to have the best combination of spread/range/firing speed/damage. Curious why it didn’t make the cut.

Edit: before I got into CS I played a lot of Delta Force and got pretty good at it. I was very proud of my screenshots where I won matches with a 30+ point lead. My weapon of choice there was a heavier machine gun with a model I don’t remember. It wasn’t scoped and didn’t have great accuracy but due to the size of the hit boxes I could still spray and pray pretty efficiently at snipers from a large distance. I was never fast enough at close quarters but the fact that you could see a dot that you knew was a sniper and shoot them down before they got the chance to move while you stay on the move really did help.
California law requires that you be allowed to cancel a subscription in the same manner in which you created it. So if they have an always available online form to sign up, they are supposed to have an always available form to cancel.

Technically the NYT is still in violation of the law, since I can sign up with out chatting with someone. But at least it's better than the experience for everyone else!
From what I've read this is almost entirely attributable to supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic. Meaning it will clear up on its own once vaccinations are rolled out and won't require any drastic changes in monetary policy.
Yeah, it is a game. Dressing up is just playing the game, to show that you're one of the boys. But you know what? It's also an extremely low-hanging fruit kind of game to play, so why not?
