I was a photographer on a cruise ship a couple of times this year and when we toured the engine rooms with the engineers, they said that the on-ship desalination plant was not able to operate anywhere near populated shore because they weren't allowed to dump the resulting brine.
We need immigration; the way it is done is the question. I was raised in a very mixed society and always had and have good friends of all sides but those were all 2nd+ generation immigrants if from Africa, Middle East, China. Never saw the difference with myself and they for many things did not either. But a first gen I can understand is very delicate, but we do need them... so better find a way.

My roommate at uni was an Iranian girl studying law and she was very smart and nice and very western; one day she went away visited her family in Iran and after a while the landlord called where the rent was. Never heard of her again... there is that...

Nor have I for that specific context. As Whitman noted, people are large and contain multitudes. Reclassification and transcription are certainly common enough colloquialism even if not formal processes. It's all mappings[0] in the end.

Yes, this is what I said, and elucidated an abstraction process to convey complex technical information I both experienced and have used in practice.

I've noticed that plugging a 4k monitor to the HDMI port doesn't work so well (bad refresh rate). I think it's a limitation of HDMI, not sure.

I use the Thunderbolt dock and plug the monitor there. It works great.
What year did your wife start working? I expect doctors to get squeezed much harder in the coming years. It is go big or go home everywhere, so from the doctors I know, in order to compete you have to join healthcare group, where you will eventually become a cog in the machine frequently owned by PE groups. They are in turn competing with bigger MCOs, hospital groups, etc.

On the other side, politicians are doling out what responsibilities that were previously restricted to doctors to nurse practitioners and physician's assistance, effectively using 1 doctor's license (and liability) to increase the supply of healthcare (effectively lowering the quality of healthcare since you are no longer being seen by a doctor).
This is all very true. The one possible exception would be entrepreneurs who can’t access the experienced, professional investors, because they don’t have the right educational or personal connections. If these people exist, then public investors can find great opportunities that established ones are bound to overlook.

Since the startup world isn’t quite as meritocratic as it pretends to be, and is arguably less so than it was 20 years ago, I’d say that yes, there are investment bargains like this to be had.
In a similar vein, I refuse to use the euphemism "students" when referring to customers of many US university programs (particular MS programs, but applies broadly)
Do you think doctors and nurses exhaust the category of health care workers? Do you think, perhaps, those sentences refer back to moving the needle rather than vast bulk?

Is there a way to turn CH4 into C + 2H2 and bury the C or use it for some industrial use that does not result in it being burned or emitted into the atmosphere? (Plastics? Some kind of building material additive? Roads?) If so it would be a way of getting some percentage of the energy from CH4 without releasing CO2 into the atmosphere.

I can't see hydrogen for cars and stuff due to lack of infrastructure, but if we got better and cheaper H2 fuel cells I could see a natural gas power plant that emits absolutely zero CO2. The loss of energy by converting to H2 and throwing away C would at least partly be compensated for by the high efficiency of fuel cells vs. heat engines.
> Instead of using the funds he raised to create the promised smartphone, he paid personal expenses and debts

Sounds pretty crooked to me. Why are we so willing to give wealthy people (or those who appear to be wealthy) the benefit of the doubt? We don’t usually weave these sympathetic narratives for criminals from other segments of society.

Of course I have no idea if the article is accurate - I’m just going by what it claims that he did.
Why is it mean? The author can use whatever license they like. If you don't like it, you're more than welcome to release your own code under a more permissive license.
Every time European countries so much as hint that they may look at US tech corporations the wrong way, the whole US administration threatens a trade war.

It's an absolute disaster for one. I haven't actually managed to get shared folders to work reliably in years. It ended up being faster and more reliable to run Samba on the host and connect over a virtual network.

Some of the other features of course can't easily be duplicated with other tools and they work decent-ish anyways so there's no reason to try, but shared folders aren't one of them.
I'm sure it is fine for English (American). I'll try it again, but as someone who is English (British) it was awful, and never could get UK localised searches correct.
Yes, those gaps are caused by orbital resonance. Orbits whose periods are related to Jupiter's by ratios of small integers tend to be unstable over astronomical timescales.

I mean, if anti-science trump people use this to be skeptical of results in psychology and sociology, how wrong would they be? these fields are genuinely corrupt and generate unreliable results. We already know the solution: preregistration and registered reports. That may not actually be enough because there are other issues (e.g. almost all studies that attempt to “control for x” or similar are subtly flawed and should be replaced with proper RCTs), but it would at least be a huge and obvious and inexpensive step in the right direction, and the fact that it hasn’t been implemented yet shows that the field is immature and broadly shouldn’t be trusted.

(compare to medical research, which has embraced prereplication because the FDA is actually serious about safety and efficacy and had the good sense to require it. but the FDA is anchored in the real world - if they get it wrong people may die and it’s on their hands. If psychologists get a result wrong, they may generate a bombastic paper for themselves, do a ted talk, go speak on NPR, then write a popsci book, and generally boost their career. So the incentive is for the FDA to be right and for the psychologist to be wrong, so it’s not surprising that that’s what we see.)
That is a good question. Maybe the US has been unnecessarily using over qualified people.

They also have two major rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Why should upstream nations deny them fresh water and then tell them to use ocean water?

Turkey has built major dams to deny water to Syria, Iraq, and Kuwait, and no one cares because Turkey is a strong NATO member.

Turkey also has access to the sea, fyi. Maybe you should recommend they desalinate water and let the fresh water flow again?
Agriculture in a desert is insane anyway.
There are 10s of thousands of bureaucratic office worker jobs in the US healthcare system that are basically just overhead.

A friend of mine used to work as an independent advocate for sick people in NYC. Basically people who were getting screwed by some aspect of the American healthcare system would pay her to do nothing but deal with bureaucratic red tape and bullshit. Like a healthcare lawyer almost. And of course she saved people more money than she cost, so she was constantly getting new clients. She only stopped because it was soul sucking work and incredibly depressing.

Now let's imagine a system that's so broken with bureaucratic BS that it makes sense to hire someone for this. All of the 'healthcare workers' that my friend would speak with on the phone for her clients were essentially overhead and only necessary because the system is geared more towards ripping people off than actually helping anyone.

We don't need any of these bureaucrats. They can all be fired.

Same for me but being on Linux. It's awesome that for certain kind of applications modern programming languages and frameworks will provide you with an API which is most times OS independent.
> In particular it doesn't give you a right to download it

That sentence is wrong, GitHub’s terms of service explicitly give users a right to download, and also run, the code of any project that is publicly visible. Please read the terms, especially section D “5. License Grant to Other Users”. https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-terms-o...
Almost. It's a minor seventh.
As someone with experience with the process, she’s basically right. People complain about the $20 tablet of Tylenol that insurance pays $0.50 for, the gross-net game has been played for decades. It’s just got ridiculous in the last 20 years or so.

Insurers have little interest in negotiating for every single procedure code, and why would they when it’s a handful of codes that drive most of the cost - more efficient to spend time on those.

And on the hospital side, they leverage what the can - if you’re the only acute trauma center in a 100 mile radius you’re dam right the insurer is going to pay whatever you ask - they don’t really have a choice.

So areas with multiple MRI providers often see pretty reasonable rate (not always though). The ones where there aren’t multiple provides see the 5x charges.

It depends, yes but ... (not discounting any of the above).

One sees a lot of 3:1 in practice due to the replication factor. If you have 3 copies of the data and the client can read from any node, you get 3x the read performance as having to have a quorum write on two out of three nodes.

Or the government could just force health service providers to, you know, reveal the price of said services like every other vendor of goods and services, so that patients -- sorry, customers -- have a fighting chance to shop around or plan for medical bankruptcy.
Wow, we need a civil rights lawyer to represent Williams in a wrongful imprisonment suit against the city, if not also a civil suit against ShotSpotter (or maybe even a criminal complaint for knowingly providing false testimony?). People shouldn’t be able to just dust their hands of this.
>No. The roman bridges, the ones still up, lasted so long because they were ridiculously overbuilt.

That seems like counterproductive for defense as destroying bridges were/is a common military strategy. Even the famous Trajan's Bridge (the longest arch bridge of that period) was supposedly destroyed to prevent barbarian invasions[1].

May be it was enough that the superstructure was purposefully weak to destroy it on demand and the substructure, foundation was overbuilt as you mentioned.

>Hopefully cases like this will eventually stop the system being used in court.

I don't see any incentive here. The only consequence suffered by the prosecution was having to drop that evidence. That's it. Maybe there's a civil case later, but that will be separated by a large time gap, etc.
"however git would" is by asking the user what to do. This automatically pushes, even if the push isn't clean it sounds like. It's unclear to me exactly what that means, `push -f` ? A pull with some options first if upstream can't be fast-forwarded? Doesn't sound very...safe.

Former Afghan Minister of Communications is now delivering food in Germany
Every society has an absorption capacity.

For Germany, absorbing 1000 random people yearly is an easy task. A million that came in 2015 was already quite a challenge. Ten million coming in a year would overwhelm even Germany.

(But that is a theoretical scenario; in practice, they wouldn't get there, because Germany is pretty far from the Middle East and the border countries like Greece, Turkey and Italy would sink into complete chaos if tens of millions really came.)
It seems that you're not interested in suing anyone over this. However, you still don't give people permission to use, not even in small throwaway tests. Which is fair.

But your blog post[0] language suggests that you are okay with and even incentivizes people trying this out (even if trying it out might be technically illegal, because it infringes your rights).

I think you should have mentioned something about the license in your blog post. As it stands, "If you’re not interested in how it works and you just want to do monkey patching, then you can find the library here." is misleading. If the user wants to do monkey patching, they better not look at your code and program their own solution.

Using "ls" is also problematic, because it will outright skip large classes of characters.
Well, a debugger on a breakpoint should allow you to inspect any local scope variables along the globals, go through the call stack.. And you can watch vars, execute immediate commands and more in others. If that's not "print" on breakpoint...
Yeah that’s definitely how people who commit fraud like to be described. Doesn’t mean they aren’t scumbag fraudsters who knew exactly what they were doing.
>So the AI didn’t even make the call. The staff did, manually.

(a) The staff of the company who makes the AI, which would have an incentive to make the AI's original judgement appear accurate?

(b) The staff of a company paid by the state/police, which aims to please its customers?

(c) Was the staff trained/experts in recognizing such sounds, or were they random AI company employees, which just made a judgement call? If so, was this call presented as AI-supported to the trial, and was it sold as anything beyond "some devs, no gun experts, mind you, heard this recording and said this must be a gunshot".
I understand all that. You don't seem to have understood my comment, which was asking questions about the suitability/fitness of the "#lang" mechanism, rather than questioning the idea of polyglot code on top of Racket.

I guess it seems to me like it hasn't been established whether the "#lang" mechanism is a brilliant invention, or something cheesy. My initial reaction is that it seems cheesy.
I didn't meant market sorry about that.
They don't have a choice. GS and military pay bands require Congressional approval. The agencies putting out requisitions can't just decide to pay more.

In practice, however, this is part of why so many technical roles are contracted instead of being permanent agency positions. Contractors can and do pay more than the government itself.
Are there pensions and does this $4T figure include that?

If so, that could account for a lot of the "worker compensation".

But, the median wage for a medical doctor is <$250k in the US. I would be surprised if the pay amongst doctors is so unequal that the average is making >$500k.

That being said, there are a ton of people who work in hospitals beside just "doctors and nurses".

I wouldn't be surprised if all this factored in was close to 50% of the total pay.
Same in my experience, but SFTP itself isn't exactly great either. Especially when your connection is less than ideal and you're working with large-ish files.

SMB tunneled over SSH works better in many cases, but of course that has it's own set of problems and is a huge pain to set up.

The real problem is that the docker monoculture discourage good dependency management making packaging very difficult.

The first victim is security.

Linux distributions like Debian do stable releases and painstakingly backport security fixes to give you both feature stability and security improvements *at the same time*.

The cultures of docker and of static linking makes this increasingly difficult every day. The result is a world where you can only chose between:

- update to the latest release of an application or a library used in a build: Lose feature stability and get newly introduced security issues.

- keep an old container or fat binary around, with all the known security issues unfixed.

Needles to say, this is completely untenable in many high-risk environments. Banks, Health, industrial automation, avionics, trains, cars, military, and so on.

They'll just not pay the fines. It's literally not even a rounding error in their annual revenue!

The US healthcare system needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Moreover, I'd argue that containers are responsible for an explosion of open source activity. In the span of half an hour I can spin up a half dozen different open source approaches to a problem and check out their implementations to see which is closest to the solution I am looking for, and then tweak and submit pull requests from there. I don't have to spend hours getting each one to compile and solve compatibility errors just to find out I don't like how it actually works.

When I blow away the unwanted containers there is no crap left on my system, no script changing my network behaviors or cron tasks. It's like it was never there. I have no idea how people can have a problem with a system like that. What a time to be alive.
Agreed, but we need a certain influx we can handle and we should handle. More is... a problem. And a problem we need to solve as a world. Most of this is very complicated and geopolitical going back a long time. We are just trying to put out the fires (and without water, literally in this case).
At least in health care, it is already nothing like a free market.
It sounds like the US healthcare system financially incentivizes people to postpone or avoid preventive medical care for as long as humanly possible, worsening the inevitable health crises, thus suppressing population health and wellbeing in favor of corporate profit.
Seems exactly like what my company would do. We would burn all the new hires we spent years training and then find out that 5 years down the line we have no talent in the pipeline
Top Learning Hacks – Feynman Technique, Leitner System and More
Cosmology is the first field which comes to mind; it fits your criteria, but is far harder (as a science) than psychology and far more reliable. Psychologists can't define "mind" and change their entire profession every few decades, but "sun" has not changed much as a phenomenon for a long time.

The reason why the social sciences (social psychology, criminology, economics, advertising/marketing) are hit hardest by the replication crisis is because they were not actually sciences! They are ways for our society to police its members' behavior (relationships, crime, money, attention) and they pretend to be science in order to gain prestige.

There's also, finally, the matter of scale and relevance. When a chemist reports that a rare chemical reaction doesn't perform in the lab as expected, then this is a failed replication; however, chemistry labs regularly replicate entire textbooks' worth of material for entire classes of undergraduates. Meanwhile, some of the most important claims in psychology, like priming, are failing to replicate.
The specifics aren't as relevant as the acknowledgment that there are cultural factors and feedback loops that are generally not part of the discussion (and might be omitted specifically due to concerns about stereotyping and bias).

How involved in your kid's education can you be if you work 60+ hours a week with a 90 minute commute each way? How do you expect kids to focus or even care about school if they come from a violent neighborhood or a broken home?
My impression is that the 3D modeling in the Blender version has many things that are too small and/or detailed for the output resolution, and therefore look quite bad, whereas the hand drawn version prioritizes clean pixels and readable shapes at the expense of "realism":

- the rims of the stacked drinking cups
- the rims of the stacked plates
- the filling of the pie
- the shadows under the plates, the pie and the mini-billboard

Some objects in the Blender version are also a bit off regardless of the output resolution, for example the huge pipe and the wide forks.

I think more iterations of improvement on the Blender version would have allowed results close to the hand drawn version or even better.

For producing many 1-bit illustrations of this kind for a whole game, mixed techniques are probably the best path: retouching imperfect NPR renderings, assembling drawn and rendered elements in an image editor, using pixel art as a reference for Blender and hand-drawn sketches as a reference for both drawing and 3D models, applying filters to photographs, and so on.
Flying a work gadget sounds way more likely a way to get yourself caught. And lose your job. No, I'd rather risk a $10k toy than risk getting fired.

All kinds of exciting things can get people into serious trouble but they still do it. For example, drifting and street racing expensive cars at night. Some even taunt the police. Here's a good series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clf-KhniImw
