> Presidents should perhaps have Congress ratify/codify decisions with long-term implications, which would make it harder for the next administration to change?

This is how it works. Lets take the JCPOA as an example. That was the Obama era nuclear deal with Iran. Because of the voting situation in Congress there was no way to get it accepted there. What could have been ratified by Congress would not have been accepted by Iran. Therefore Obama signed the deal as an executive action. He couldn’t have done that if the deal would be bidding with long term implications, so they worded the deal such that the executive of the USA had to re-affirm their commitment to the deal periodically. Trump did re-affirm it at first but when it came up again the second time he refused.

In short: it works exactly as you say already. Obama just simply didn’t have the votes in Congress to push through a binding treaty.
Everyone knows Cuba's a major political issue for Florida. Trump admin publicly signalled support for a new cable[1], but then it was apparently dropped. Biden administration so far has been quiet on the topic. Given that this should be an executive decision, I'm curious as to what FOIA requests would turn up.

How do you ensure everyone has it cloned (and up to date)?
A lot of it isn't actually copy paste, but just quality-of-life tricks to speed up card creation while going through lecture notes / reading an article.

e.g. we have tooltips+hotkeys that let you append the highlighted text to the front/back.

One-click card creation for language vocab is on our roadmap and will be a focus-area soon. We're focusing on students / teachers right now.

This blog post has a update here -

People join specific social groups because of conversational bias. It might be a mums group where the content is mainly baby related. Or a theatre group with talks about fine arts. Or a retro gaming group that talks about old computer games. They will have policies in place to ensure the content of their group stays focused. Some groups will be aimed at families or being safe for work so might have a no nudity rule. Some might have a no trolling rule because they want a friendly atmosphere. Some might have a no sales rule because they don’t want their group to turn into yet another market place. These are all TOS, censorship rules if you will, that are placed in specialist groups.

Your reasoning would say I could join a kids cartoon group and post extreme pornography because it’s legal and if any parents object then they should have the law changed to ban porn for everyone.

Quite obviously that’s a dumb way of managing online content. Let the platforms manage what content they deem appropriate for their specific audiences and if you really want a zero-censorship community then you personally should join one rather than forcing every man, woman and child into wading through the same content you personally enjoy.
I got sick of things changing too, so I developed my own platform which abstracts away from the underlying OS, so I won't have my settings changed randomly or have hard links broken. It may seem like overkill but stability has a price.
Fine. Estranged widow. The point is if anyone has control of his legacy, it's her, and the director claims to have consulted his widow which couldn't really be anyone other than her, which means one of them is lying about giving the go ahead to do the deepfake voiceover.
Hundreds of millions of people around the world have decided to refuse the vaccine. If policymakers decide to maintain the restrictions until, say, 80% vaccine uptake, they will be waiting forever. At the end of the day, governments are beholden to their constitutents, and the people have decided they would rather get sick.
Might be worth stepping back and thinking about why you want to make money. Money is a store of opportunity but useless in itself. If you were to be shipwrecked with no hope of rescue would you rather be washed up with a cargo container of dollar bills or camping gear?

'Streetonomics': What our addresses say about us
Causation, from the article:

> Ethanol, the form of alcohol present in beer, wine and liquor, breaks down to form a known carcinogen called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA and interferes with cells' ability to repair the damage.

> Alcohol can also increase levels of hormones, including estrogen. Hormones signal cells to grow and divide. With more cell division, there are more opportunities for cancer to develop. Alcohol also reduces the body's ability to absorb certain cancer-protective nutrients, including vitamins A, C, D, E and folate.

> Some people claim to get a lot of creative work done while stoned but those people probably haven't tried doing it sober for too long.

After smoking every single day for about 5 years I decided to test this hypothesis about a year ago (I had my first kid on the way and didn’t want to be one of those parents that smoked weed.) I also surmised that maybe I really needed to get it all out of my system - by not smoking for months - to know how much an improvement it would be to stop smoking. In the past 11 months I’ve smoked exactly twice (both times around Christmas.)

I can’t honestly say stopping smoking has increased my productivity much. I’m so mentally exhausted from work at the end of each day that the idea of doing anything involving my brain is stressful. Weed helped with that, now I seem to lay on the couch and watch YouTube more. Before I at least used to sit and contemplate work-related stuff a lot more since I was able to relax.

Back when I was getting high every day I used to use voice memos a lot on my phone to record the random “brilliant ideas” I’d have each evening. The next morning I’d listen through them, and they actually led to some of my best answers to technical problems. Stuff I was stuck on at work, I’d be able to find solutions to while high. (Implementing them was another story, I had to wait for the next day for that.)

I’m still not going to go back to smoking weed because of the new kiddo, but I honestly think weed was a net positive for my life.
When Will Cannabis Be Legal? – Karen O’keefe
Could cannabis be made legal in the US under President Biden? The signs are mixed. Most Americans want it, but the federal politics of cannabis remain unclear.

In a surprise move, conservative Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas recently called into question the constitutionality of federal bans on cannabis.

Montel gets the latest updates on state and federal legalization progress on this epsiode of Let’s Be Blunt from Karen O’Keefe, director of state policies for the Marijuana Policy Project. She manages MPP’s grassroots and direct lobbying efforts in state legislatures, is responsible for updating MPP’s model legislation, which formed the basis for several laws. In 2011, she was appointed by Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley to serve on the state’s medical marijuana work group. She earned her J.D. from Loyola School of Law, New Orleans, where she received the Gillis Long Public Service award and the Crowe Scholar award. She is admitted to the Bar in the District of Columbia.
It depends on your personality. Some people can live without a calling. I can’t.

What helps me a lot is to review the Ikigai attributed framework regularly and to think which of the dimensions is important for me and who I do currently along them:

1. What are you good at?

2. What do you enjoy doing?

3. What is paid money for?

4. What is good for the planet?

My focus is on 1-3.

Isn't the underlying main problem (censorship), as (nearly) always, growing up along with the size of the society, that is to say mistrust?

I have yet to encounter a small group of people, let's say less than ~15 people (all adult and responsible, children and fools are another matter and must be protected by adults), where someone thinks that others shouldn't access to some content (because they are irrevocably dumb or evil-minded), that he detains the Truth and has to forbid everything he dislikes.

In all huge groups (modern nations) it is the norm. As each one doesn't know most of the citizens, he/she is at best mislead into thinking of them as a bunch of children, and at worse is afraid of them.

Even if many people cannot, for the time being, tackle something useful/necessary (for example to distinguish raw bullshit from consistent information) they may "train" by being exposed to it, thus building some experience (living and dialoging with others will enlighten them).

How may one accept to live among others while thinking that most of them are dumb and unable to learn, or evil-minded? How may one who doesn't think so want to bar them from any content?

No, here are some better ways.

1- Raise from VCs/Angels with just a pitch deck. Loads of people do this and there's lots of advice online. Big downside is that you give the VC most of the company. Big upside is low personal risk. If you really need to hire engineers immediately (despite being technical) then this is probably the only route.

2- Sell the product to a client before the product exists. Use the money the client pays you to build the product.

3- Save 70% of your income for a year, work evenings and weekends. Quit your job when you've got enough runway saved up.

4- Become a contractor, work 4 months for clients, 8 months on the startup.

5- Start the company with grant money. There are lots of grants for small tech business

I've worked for people who did all of these. Currently I'm trying #4.
What exactly is this letter calling on governments to do? It seems obvious to me that most people are capable of isolating themselves if required. It isn't like keeping away from other people is hard just because the government makes it legal.

Why is it necessary to have a government mandate to lock everyone down, given that UK has been vaccinated?

What is “drink” here? How many milliliters, what percentage of alcohol? 40%? 15%? 50ml or 200ml?
Realistic and pragmatic I'd say ...
In fact, alcohol can extend life in low doses.

> “I can use it safely” is not a good argument

Rust could comparatively easily implement goto, and it’d be unconditionally safe (as regards memory safety). I’d even honestly like it to, mostly just because it’s possible rather than because it’d be useful—most prominent goto patterns can be expressed better in other ways in Rust, e.g. RAII (destructors) instead of goto cleanup, and break/continue let you emulate any structured uses of goto. (I live in hope that https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/48594 will one day land, so you can use break to skip the remainder of a labelled block, no loop required.)
Oh, no worries. Lists of doables are infinite, and life is very not. It's merely something I reflexively note out of long habit.

Fwiw, one remediation which appeals to me, when using flawed content, is adding a "bogus" tag. As in "Figure N Mumble (source WP) Somewhat flawed." Or sometimes "Bogus <attribute or issue>". So the reader maybe gets a heads-up that there's a known issue - a "first, do no harm" thing. Modulo esthetic constraints, and I've no idea if it actually helps. And it might be phrased more accessibly. I dont know of any associated education research.

Big picture, societal-level impacts of commonly flawed content seem unlikely to improve without being addressed systemically, and so don't seem a priority focus when pursuing local excellence. For example, students are told the Sun is yellow in Kindergarten, and repeatedly thereafter, with only a few later getting an "oops, nope, our bad" in astronomy grad school discussion of common misconceptions in astronomy education content... and careful avoidance of yellow Suns in say one weather app seems unlikely to move that needle much.

Thanks for your nifty work.
That's not correct, the text with more context is:

> This includes information about public voting procedures, political candidate eligibility based on age / birthplace, election results, or census participation that contradicts official government records.

There is no wider applicability of "government records" specified.
I guess it depends on how you use the system. I know you learn more if you make your own flashcards carefully, but sometimes the perfect is the enemy of the good. I am using Anki to learn Chinese vocabulary with a huge preconstructed deck that I downloaded, I've been doing this slow but steady for over two years, and it's working wonderfully, at least IMHO.

Of course it's hard to know whether other alternatives could have worked even better, but this way I devote 30 minutes a day which can be on the bus, in bed, etc. and make progress. If I had to spend the time and involvement of making the cards myself (which requires not only more time, but in practice a more dedicated setting with a PC and keyboard, etc., as I'm not going to make flashcards with my phone on the bus even if it's technically possible) I would probably have quit a long time ago.

So work on making the creation of flashcards easier seems like something that could be of interest at least to some people.

It's worth figuring out what your colo provider's power usage policy is. Mine were pretty lax (nominally 0.5A at 240V, but I had a PowerEdge 1950 there which would definitely draw m

> But who gets to make those decisions at Google

Does it really matter who? The point is it is a corporate term of service and if anyone doesn’t like it then they’re free to use another platform (of which there are many).

> what happens to your data when they do?

That’s a more interesting question. In an ideal world everyone would have offline backups of anything posted online but clearly that’s an unrealistic expectation. I’d hope the platform would offer its users a path to migrate off, even if their account has been publicly banned. Sadly history has demonstrated that’s almost never the case.

Maybe that is where the government legislation needs to be? Stating that banned accounts have a grace period to back up their content?

> These massive corporations have found that they don't need to value customer support and that includes immediately blocking you from everything you have at their discretion.

I agree but that’s a tangential point and legislating that Google et al host any content and all legal content wouldn’t fix the customer service problem.
Are you referring to the SOAR features?
I don't intend to contest the capabilities or robustness of current generation of KDE, but it is not "strange" that KDE is not the default or equally popular if you take its history into account.

A lot of people have faced quite a few frustrations with both bugs and performance regressions when updating to new KDE releases in past. And it doesn't help that really awesome apps like Konqueror got discontinued. And also given the history of myriad shenanigans around Qt's licensing, it is not surprising that the open source community gravitated towards a platform (Gnome) that was built and evolved in the open.

It is interesting that you compare this with Firefox, because these parallels can be extended to FF too. A lot of us moved away from FF because chrome was a breath of fresh air in terms of performance when it arrived and has since had trailblazing support for modern web standards.

Sure both FF & KDE may be in much much better state now, but it is worth acknowledging that for the wider population there is a lot of inertia when it comes to foundational technologies that are critical for their day-to-day work. If it works, and is getting better, there is usually little motivation to jump ship. Even less so, if you have already jumped across the same ships in past.

Some competition is, of course, always good to have and I am very happy to see both platforms evolving.

Doesn't that fit 90% of small sized companies ?
The motivation for explicit allocation is explicitness, not adaptability. The adaptability is great, but it's a consequence of the language designer's design principle that all function calls will be explicit via (), and all allocation will be explicit via allocator-passing, so no user of a library can be surprised that a call performs an allocation.
Most of the time if it work you are making something people want, thus money is a proxy for usefulness to someone.

I think that money is often a poor motivator past some point, it’s like food, once you are satiated food loose it’s interest. But making something useful stay and keep on growing.
I have started on the java applet fase. You could add an applet to your website and pass parameters in the html code to customize it. Being young and not knowing a lot of programming I would spent a lot of time searching for free applets on the internet. Menus, games, banners... Did not take long for me to learn java and write my own applets.

I guess I'm still interested in this kind of stuff, since my last project is a clone of the Flash software, using JavaScript.
Glad to hear you liked the app.

Yes. We have cloze deletions. Hit Ctrl + Shift + C for cloze deletions (or hit the "Eye" that says "Hide Text")

RE: the issue with reviews piling up.

- We have some modifications planned for the algorithm that will make this easier. See the Load Balancer addon in Anki + algorithms like Half-life Regression which are making this easier to deal with.
