>This is the point - the second sentence does not actually follow from the first. The person who built the building, either the actual builders or the investors, make it available. At this point, it is a normal service-provision kind of relationship you see across the economy.

If making it available is such a no brainer, why did they sell the building?

If there was no value in selling the land and building to a new owner, developers would just cut out the middleman. The reality is that developers want to build and take profits today, not over 30 years and then build again with no risk of the previous property turning a loss.
It's interesting how more and more cases of women being kidnapped and forced to sell explicit content via OnlyFans[0] have started to surface recently.

I personally don't have any objection to sex work, however it's not hard to see why sex work in certain forms poses an existential risk to a society or would be seen as such by a government.

This is also interesting and something VICE missed, look at the first image which was from the FOIA Request!

It's Firefox, and in the bookmarks bar, you have GrayKey login, GrayKey/GrayShift Support, and a certain page from Apple support explaining how to enter recovery mode...

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263

To me, that suggests that these cops have it bookmarked because GrayShift is using some sort of Recovery Mode exploit, similar to Checkm8 did through Checkra1n for the A10 and below, and the cops have it bookmarked so they remember how to do it.
Meanwhile in Canada the concern is about some sex workers offering insurance receipts.

AFAICT The laws in Canada are similar to that described for Sweden, but I don't think they are enforced as strongly. I could be very wrong though.
> If you have to restrict the language to attain the goal of the language, that’s a bad place to be.

As thesuperbigfrog points out, Ada and SPARK have importantly different goals. You may still be right that Ada is too big and complex for its own good, though. C.A.R. Hoare famously criticized Ada for its complexity.

> « safe » subsets can be defined for other languages like C or C++

It's true that Ada is not actually a safe language, but it's far more easily tamed than C/C++.

The term safe subset is a little misleading here, as, practically, you can't just ban C's dangerous constructs and be left with a safe language. Merely making efforts to comply with MISRA C isn't enough to provide a solid assurance of the absence of undefined behaviour, for instance. For that, you need a full-bore formal verification system, akin to that of SPARK. (For example, SPARK's provers check that there's no way a variable can ever be read before being assigned to. If I understand correctly, in the absence of a prover, the SPARK subset of Ada isn't a fully safe language. I'm not entirely certain on that point though.) I don't know if one exists, but in principle a prover could deal with the full C language, rather than just a subset of it.

This is in sharp contrast to Rust, where there really is a subset which is safe 'by construction' (called Safe Rust).

I’m using Hasura for the first time for my current startup, and it’s been a game changer for speed so far.

What I’m loving most about it is how is changes the team schedule. Let me explain.

Usually, we’d prototype out what we wanted to build, verify with users, then create the overall data models.

For every single new feature, we’d create API endpoints (REST or GraphQL) and then the front-end.

With Hasura (or Supabase or Firebase for that matter), we skip the API step for _most_ pages. If a page can be built 100% using CRUD operations, it’s a awesome!

If a page can’t be done this way (lots of multi-table transactions, TensorFlow, background processing needed), we hand it off to our Express.js app either through Hasura triggers or federated GraphQL to handle it.

In that case, the amount of work to do is the same as if we weren’t using Hasura.

After 13 years of Ruby on Rails development this has been a major change in how I build apps - but one I’m excited about. I wrote up a post detailing more about why I’m making the switch on my startups blog too if you’re curious: https://hardcover.app/blog/the-perfect-startup-tech-stack
Costa Rica is a small nation with favorable geography, a great balance of population and density with some fantastic externalities that let them focus on domestic affairs.
There is an android version as well. It's fast, easy to read, works offline, and makes it simple to leave notes or highlights. I'm not personally used to the NASB translation, but the app is quite nice.

I started writing out the features that I'd like to have in an ideal Bible app, such as multiple translations, commentaries, etc. But I remembered that I used sites like Bible Hub and Bible Gateway regularly. It didn't occur to me until now that they might have apps, and sure enough, they do! Bible Gateway offers an offline mode, but you have to create an account first in order to download specific versions of the text. Bible Hub is little more than a wrapper of the website, even advertising the app within the app.
I don't know if I'll be going back but it's an interesting idea. It reminds me of the geocities/angelfire/myspace/a bunch of other content builders of the early 2000s era of web stuff.

Is there more human trafficking, or is the human trafficking more visible under the liberal laws?
According to the data we have, that is not true. From Harvard Law School [1]:

> Countries with legalized prostitution are associated with higher human trafficking inflows than countries where prostitution is prohibited. The scale effect of legalizing prostitution, i.e. expansion of the market, outweighs the substitution effect, where legal sex workers are favored over illegal workers. On average, countries with legalized prostitution report a greater incidence of human trafficking inflows.

There's a lot more nuance to it if you read the article or the actual study. I am in general for legalizing sex work, but if we want to protect sex workers we can't pretend legalization is a panacea.

But they evaluate on a test set while sweeping on a dev set, so there is no risk of overfitting to the test set.
Let me guess: Getty Images?
I get it. Been there, primarily when I would work on projects I just didn't see the point of. Or if you have spent the last 5 years building e-commerce solutions (just an example) over and over for different people it can get really mundane, unchallenging and frustrating at times.

I think you need to identify whether you are bored/frustrated with the domain or with the work. e.g. do you enjoy being a dev and just not the domain or are you just over writing code and dealing with projects etc.

If domain is bothering you, find a new company and domain where your skills can be used on something that would excite you.

If it is software in general that is causing you to feel this way then maybe you should do the math. Especially if you are younger, starting over isn't unreasonable if you can live on a smaller paycheck for a while. But you'll have to find something that would motivate you and excite you. And I'd suggest if you need training for it that you do that while getting paid at your current job.

If you have kids and are a bit older you can still change but you just need to be more careful and it might take a bit longer, especially being the sole income for the family. But I would suggest you actively start making a change (whatever it may be) or you will get stuck in a rut and fear the change more and more.
That's really cool. Could use a "paste" button though, especially for APL code, which has a lot of characters that are hard to remember how to generate from a keyboard :)
> Some cryptocurrencies may (in some cases, based on past performance) be good on average as long term stores of value

This is a straw man. The argument was not for some cryptocurrency.

It was for Bitcoin. Bitcoin alone has the potential to become the reserve currency of the internet.

It is the only crypto designed from the ground up to withstand attacks from nation states. Bitcoin is the scarcest asset ever created. It is the most decentralized and censorship resistant, and it is secured by the most powerful super-computer in the world.

Therefore it isn't just about past performance, but rather past performance combined with a fundamental analysis of the unique properties of Bitcoin that make it the best performing asset in the history of assets over it's lifetime.

Bitcoin is a unique snowflake. If you cannot tell the difference between Bitcoin and other cryptos you ARE missing the point.

> People without surplus income have no way to save by definition

Poor or rich, most people can find a way to save some of their income for the future. It may not be much to you but giving them the option to access a store of value that grows on average at 200% per year is a revolution for these folks who often have fewer options to grow savings.

You are cherry-picking poor people to suit your argument. Not all poor people have zero surplus income.

Some simply have too little or too insecure surplus income to escape their plight. I for one applaud giving these people more choices for a better life.
It took about 2 months of us being there to pull the trigger and buy a house.

Costs for most things are low, except for cars. Cars are insanely expensive due to the ~50% import tax. Electricity is also fairly expensive per KWH.

Quebec gets most of its eletric power from hydroelectric sources (95%), while Ontario gets >60% from nuclear and 26% from hydroelectric. It's wild to compare the breakdown compared to western, oil-rich provinces which are basically 50-50 natural gas and coal-powered.

It's also depressing to see how electricity is a distant third to gas and other petroleum products in terms of energy demand - even though the eletric supply is almost 100% renewabe, all those transport trucks and cars far outweigh it.

It's a disparaging remark to make it clear that the other person's opinions are wrong and that they as a person is of lesser value and should be ignored or attacked. It's used as a conversation stopper and to polarize the discussion, i.e. rally support from like minded and suppress the other party.

It's also not used merely to say that someone is against trans people, like you suggest. It's used by a toxic community that are immune to nuance and opposed to debate other than to force their own view on everyone else. Very few people are against trans people, but maybe some doesn't buy all of the identity politics. Saying that women menstruate is enough to be labeled a terf by the online mob. There's also rarely any radical feminism expressed by the people being labeled as terfs.
It is incredibly difficult to make access to prostitution easier without causing aftershocks among other social phenomena. (Trafficking, Abuse, Laundering)

Historically, making something legal tends to reduce illicit behaviors like trafficking, abuse, and laundering. What makes sex work different from these things?

Society's "special" treatment of sex isn't uniform, nor is it that special.
Very cool - that said, it appears that I'm not receiving (is it being sent?) the sign-up email for new accounts.

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” ― Brian Eno

Human trafficking. Prostitution is a lucrative racket for organized crime groups and unlike drug legalization, making it legal makes it _easier_ for organized crime to control it.

The legalization of prostitution in Austria resulted in a greater increase in illegal sex work:

“It indirectly supports the spreading of the illegal market in the sex industry,” the report concluded. “Organized crime has flourished and increased its influence in the sex industry.”

That’s fair. Every grocery store has a massive diesel generator sitting out back. Guess they don’t want their cold foods to spoil.

As a counter point, nearly all brownouts occur after 6 PM. So maybe it affects heavy industry less?

Bravo. This is the natural product of a culture that paradoxically wants to be sex positive for women but also sex negative for men. The outcomes are surprisingly similar to what happens to a culture that's sex negative for women and sex positive for men.
These results aren't passing the sniff-test for me.

If I understand, "honest" voters in the score-like systems stick to some magically-shared mapping of their own utility to scores on the ballot (totally unreasonable, but let's grant it). Strategic voters, meanwhile, just use the ballots to maximize their own utility.

Let's take the simplest, common scenario of two clear frontrunners. In score voting's one-sided strategic scenarios:
- Honest voters who support candidate A will put down magical normally-distributed numbers. Their scores for A end up perhaps 10-50% higher than their scores for B.
- Strategic voters who support candidate B will maximize B's chance of winning by putting down the highest score for B and the lowest score for A. Score for B will be uniformly 100% higher than scores for B.

In this scenario it takes perhaps 2-10 honest A voters for every strategic B voter for A to win. Yet somehow, the VSE for 1-sided strategic score scenarios are all much better than plurality, and equal with approval?

This is a commonly-discussed downside for any score voting system, where it gives strategic voters extra power, and, in these 1-sided scenarios, is worse than plurality. The downside is appearing nowhere in this data.
Structure your week. Set weekly goals. Set things up so that you assign weekends free to relax/do fun stuff - so they feel like actual week ends. This enables you to focus on Mon-Thurs without feeling hopeless, as your body/mind know that good time is coming later in the week. It avoids the feeling of just being aimlessly lost in time.

It's important to ensure your mind/body feel there is light at the end of the tunnel, not just at the macro but micro (days, weeks) level too.
Looking at the proposal in question [0], it seems very sad that the alternate, not recommended, choice was made instead [1] , especially since the reasoning seems to have not been put down in writing anywhere.

What are your criticisms of the studies?
That logic would also state that we should no longer call a man a man if he becomes infertile through choice (or otherwise), no?

> Messing about with mechanisms that are crucial to our survival should at least not be done lightly.

I disagree with this. Unsurprisingly so, given that I am non-conservative. I believe in personal choice over reproduction and I believe that this choice simply is more important than any tiny effect on societies survival - something that in fact means very little to me other than the 'coincidental' lack of suffering in people I care about/humanity in general. I'm not sure there's any objective value in the human race surviving, in fact if I could push a button that meant all humans would be incredibly fulfilled and lead happy lives and then naturally (peacefully, painlessly, etc) die out in 3 generations time I would certainly strongly consider doing so... I'm rambling now, though.

> the lack of acknowledgment by trans activists that that's what they're doing

I think that's because it's largely incidental - indeed, it doesn't stop them from becoming adoptive parents. It doesn't stop them from freezing sperm/eggs and creating children through more modern means. It may not even lead to infertility in many cases - I'll admit I don't know any detailed knowledge on that.

But most importantly their right to lead their life in whichever way they want, and to choose not to have children, is not especially relevant to anyone else. Nobody should be forced (or be guilted into) to have(ing) children.

The article totally fails to mention Rogue One, which is in my opinion the best prequel ever made, better than the 3 prequels and better than all following sequels, and demonstrates they can make a great Star Wars movie today using new characters. If they want.

Mando? I sorta liked it, although it still doesn't click. To me it lacks the big breath that has been a signature of the Star Wars Universe since like forever; there are glimpses of it here and there, but it seems it still needs more time to develop into bigger stories. As for now it seems to me sort of a "Firefly with jetpacks", which is not bad per se, but hey, it's Star Wars! Let's give it some more time and see where it goes.
Critical part with that route is to go really through the direct line through the core and bit the long way close to surface.

I think using instantaneous testosterone is probably not the right call. Probably a metric like aggregate exposure to testosterone/other androgens over the course of one's life. It would need to be one signal among many -- for example, cis-men should not compete in women's sport regardless of whether they have very low testosterone. But it seems like a signal like this may be needed at some point.

Of course it is possible that we collectively decide that it's ok that cis women have no chance of winning the Olympic weightlifting gold ever again. That seems like a bad outcome to me, but I am only a single voice. If the relevant stakeholders are ok with that it won't be a great tragedy to me that my opinion is ignored. But, for example, my wife had a very negative reaction when I posed that scenario to her. It seems to me like as the implication of current policy becomes more clear, more folks are going to want to change the policy.
