>The nation was founded on the principle "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants".

No, it wasn't. That is a quote by Thomas Jefferson in a letter he wrote about Shay's Rebellion - one man's opinion, not a foundational legal or moral principle, and not every founding father agreed with him. While Jefferson was sympathetic to the spirit of revolution that brought Shay's Rebellion about, he also condemned it as having been the result of ignorance. As is often the case with pithy quotes from the founding fathers, the speaker and their opinions are a lot more nuanced than the quote, stripped of all necessary context, is meant to imply[0].

As to whether an increase in political violence reflects negatively on the citizenry or negatively on the ruling class, Jefferson (a member of the ruling class, mind you) would likely have seen it reflecting negatively on the citizenry, as reading the letter in which the "tree of liberty" quote appears[1], it's clear that Jefferson draws a distinction between the necessity for the potential of rebellion and the commission of political violence itself. In fact, just before the quote you provided, Jefferson says the answer to such rebellions is to "set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them," not to support them on principle.

Something about this seems off. If there were a bunch of hungry buyers for almonds in-state at some given price then why would a farmer even bother with the shipping cost?

And also exporting goods is necessary for a healthy economy. If an area exports more money than goods and services then it gets poorer.

'Unbearable': Restaurant customers are being nightmares lately
Agriculture is a small part of California's economy in terms of population, but in terms of land agriculture is the dominant industry in perhaps more than half of the counties. This means that for many members of the California state assembly, farmers are their most important voting block. This leads to the agricultural industry having a disproportionate political influence relative to its raw GDP.
hate speech is relative. allowing speech to be banned means that the group in power can ban whatever they deem to be hateful.
Your definition of objectivity on both counts seems to be subjective.

If someone said "black people kill each other for crack corners, facts don't care about your feelings" you'd at the very least say they were painting with a broad brush. I'd agree with you. There's a difference between a race and a profession, sure, but you're generalizing a diverse group of people.

And is it objectively better rhetoric? Objectively? Empirically I see it has a very divisive effect, much more prominent than any positive effect you can find examples of. But say it is effective, that's more important to you than it's truthfulness? Do you want to live in a world where we pretend to believe lies because they're effective at achieving some end?

I'm all about reigning in the police, cutting budgets, cutting staff, whatever, not because they're racist (as a group they're not) but because they're goons for the state, it is their job to go sniff your butthole and ask you what you've been doing under implied threat of violence. That's objectively better rhetoric because it's true, and it's all inclusive because they do this to all of us equally.

Is it really the money? I'm willing to believe that it is. But I'm also willing to believe that farmers are a politically popular group. Who wants to be the politician who drives farmers out of business?

"The wild card is what happens given the additional atmospheric water capacity in a warmer climate."

Haven't quit the day job, but am making decent money.

I've found a sort of sweet-spot where working a couple of hours before work, and sometimes on weekends forces me to really focus on what I'm building. So I don't see myself quitting my day job until the support workload becomes unmanageable.

China will hand America its ass either way - in the next decade or two. A large, highly-skilled population with strong national unity is going to be an unstoppable international force. America is more fractured than ever, and more incompetent than ever (the soaring college graduation rates notwithstanding).
It’s just that Americans are slow to adjust to a rapidly changing reality.
Also, let’s not pretend that America does not indulge in pretty unethical behaviors - I have no fondness for Russia, but think America is intrusive, unethical, and untrustworthy as a national.
I think you can validate a market exists by talking to people and looking at existing products, but you can't validate product market fit without building the product and seeing if people will pay.

I built a dev tool that helps people jump-start React development projects (think boilerplate, but way more customizable). As soon as it hit $2k/month, where I could barely live off the revenue, I felt that was product market fit for me. It was solving a problem for some amount of people and I could continue to work on it full-time. Now doing ~$6k/month.

You really don't know then. As someone who lives where it is 21, I'm qualified to tell you that you're very likely wrong.

Before the "Source? Study?" parrots show up, you're darn right this is anecdotal. The "real data" is going to be from kids who aren't telling the truth.
There are not such flags, but they would not be useful if there were. Real C++ programs link code of many different ages. Generally, you can only afford to make the new code, that you are writing now, the new way, and maybe modernize stuff immediately around it. The old stuff is typically well-exercised, and as long as it does its job you have no reason to touch it or, often, see it.

But it is for the new code that the most value is available.

Generally, if there are two ways to do something, and one appeared in a recent Standard, using that is usually the better choice. Cppreference.com helpfully tags each bit with when it appeared.

This might as well be the same thing. GPL variants are viral and the big corporation lawyers won't touch it with a mile long stick as a result.

It's a perfectly competitive license and fair. If they change your code and offer it as a service, they must publish the changes which will benefit you, the original author. There's also a chance it will require they open source some of their other code as AGPL.

It's the perfect trap and most corporations won't touch it. What constitutes a change is very fuzzy since it covers access over a network.

> In the first month of the pilot: 911 operators routed approximately 25% of mental health emergency calls (138 calls) to B-HEARD teams. In the coming months, this number is projected to grow to approximately 50% of all 911 mental health calls. The remaining calls will either involve suspected violence or imminent harm, or an individual who requires transport to a hospital for physical or mental healthcare.

> A New York City pilot program that dispatches mental health specialists and paramedics instead of police for certain nonviolent emergency calls has resulted in more people accepting assistance and fewer people sent to the hospital

Are fewer people being sent to the hospital overall, or do B-HEARD calls result in fewer people sent to the hospital than police calls? The later would be unsurprising because of the particular calls they are being routed. Also B-HEARD only operates during daytime hours. I like the idea of this program but still would like to see an apples to apples comparison wrt. the stats.

> The Commercial Astronaut Wings programme updates were announced on Tuesday - the same day that Amazon's Mr Bezos flew aboard a Blue Origin rocket to the edge of space.

This was already for a program that designates who can be classified as a “commercial” astronaut. If the FAA regulates this, why wouldn’t it be necessary for them to clarify the difference between passengers and crew? We just had two such flights, I believe the implication is there will be more flights into space.

Not just for an overactive imagination. I was a young teen playing that game, and everything else I'd seen before was comic mischief, and suddenly people in my point and click game are gruesomely dying, coming back to life but maybe evil now, losing limbs. That was scary stuff for the genre.

I have no idea if the game holds up, but for who I was when I played it, it left a big impression. I thought the ending was really great, although maybe it'd have read as hokey if I'd've had another decade of Sci Fi under my belt.

Or raise the price of water to include the cost of externalities, which will naturally price out water-costly crops like almonds. I really doubt that almonds are profitable enough to justify a massive nuclear + desalination plan on their own.

It's a tragedy whenever anyone kills themselves, but I can't help but feel a little tinge of anger when a rag jumps on these cases to hammer away at a political motivation, and more so when they ignore equally egregious cases because it goes against that political motive.

I don’t necessarily disagree, but prioritize water bottlers like Arrowhead above agriculture. I’d also like to see more money put into ocean desalination (solar powered, to cover another great natural resource we have).
At least among the NYPD, which is what this article about, it's not actually true that police are "goons for the state." The state has no effective control over what the police do. They quite literally turn their backs on elected leadership. They engage in all sorts of petty abuse of power like parking illegally in ways that are bad for the ends of the state (like promoting commerce). Police are, if anything, goons for themselves.

I agree that if it were untrue that the police are racist murderers, then building public policy on it would be bad for society. But it's true, so it's fine to base policy on it.
As for that last link, it's worth noting that certain libretro developers were actually part of the mob bullying Near (and KiwiFarmers themselves):

So I personally find it rather insulting that they posted an obituary, when they were a big part of the problem themselves.

An opinion does not require evidence. And even if it did, it should be clear that no such study on such a vague and politically sensitive topic, such as the efficacy of hate speech laws, could ever be conclusive.

If you have an opposing opinion, that's fine, but maybe voice why you hold it instead of demanding evidence for others opinions.

Personally I think it's silly to jail an 89-year old grandmother for denying the Holocaust[0], but things like that can happen with hate speech laws like Germany has.

Your final sentence seems like an alarmist take to me, although since it isn’t specific in its suggestions, I cannot really say. I feel we need to respond but not to extremes. For example I don’t think banning gas cars or banning gas stoves or moving away from capitalism, all of which have been variously suggested, are necessary. However I feel subsidizing wind, solar, and nuclear energy and instituting carbon trade structures connected to net carbon reductions (like direct capture) would make sense.

As for tipping points - scientific matters require evidence and precision, not hyperbole that has come to occupy our news and social media. This paper uses the phrase “tipping points” in highlights and introductory blurbs but doesn’t actually provide proof for those tipping points. It feels like a sensationalized headline to me if the model cannot actually prove irreversibility, which is what the phrase “tipping point” implies. That’s not to say we can’t speculate about that possibility, but if we are to speculate, we should make it clear that this is what we’re doing - not wrap speculation with a scientific paper.
Oh?! So it will aim to generalise even when the semantics aren't 1:1? Mind blown.

There are a variety of strategies tractable to people who may not have a high degree of expertise in a given topic.

- Ask an expert you have developed substantial trust with for example your own general practitioner.

- Look at what the broad consensus in the field is amongst credible subject matter experts especially ones foremost and respected in their field. Look for institutions that are widely respected by people in the field which have both a history of integrity and longevity.

- Learn enough of the basics of science to know when people are presenting complete nonsense

- Learn enough of the basics of logic and persuasion to know when people are using THAT on you in place of good arguments or evidence.

On the last point look at this quip. It carefully avoids expressing a position although a probable position can be inferred. It implies there is credible disagreement amongst experts insofar as whether to get vaccinated. There is none. There is a clear consensus bucked by crackpots with a political ax to grind. It achieves this while asking an obvious question you knew the answer to. It is entirely manipulative. When you see posts like this assume the party advancing the argument has no real ammo.
I can tell when someone gets their California agriculture hot takes from popular media, because it's always almonds.

Half of California water (period, not agricultural water, water) use is for growing alfalfa to feed to cattle. An industry where we have no comparative advantage, unlike almonds. But the water is cheap.

California almond production could also be a great deal more frugal, Israelis use about 1/20th the water per almond. Their big innovation is buried irrigation, California almond ranchers spray water on the ground and it mostly just evaporates. But water is cheap.

Abolish the water rights system and auction the water at a reasonable price. Almonds would stay, alfalfa would diminish or disappear.

But "conversion of water into money" aka farming is good. People like to eat.
