Also if you do not assert your right you lose them, case law about that do recently.

It is a double edged sword because sadly the police view the public as the enemy in alot of cases, and if you know your rights under the law they view you as "aggressive" or "hindering" their job.

Most do not understand that their primary job is to protect those rights the same rights that they hate people knowing and exercising. Instead they are deluded into this belief by elected officials that their legal role is one of overseer, or ruler over the residents or subjects in the jurisdiction...

Ended up running AppleScript to query Spotify for the information, and it works for my needs at least.

One weird bug is that it boots up Spotify if isn't already running, so this program has to be quit before Spotify is quit! Should probably fix that...

At 5% or more interest more than half your money goes to the bank rather than the house. At 0% all your money goes to the house. You can call this inflation if you want but then you are ignoring that you are paying a million dollars for a less than million dollar house because of interest.

The fact that spending and price are decoupled make the inflation idea stupid.

> Whenever nuclear fails you can trace it directly to poor policymaking rather than any faults with the underlying technology (...)

This line of argument is pointless because policymaking is not something that you can remove from the equation or even ignore the risk that it fails. It's a kin to claiming that a machine mostly fails because of human error when human interaction is mandatory and a critical part of the process.
I'm not aware of any nuclear power plant anywhere having been fully decommissioned, with all waste safely stowed away, safe from earthquakes and plane-crashes.

As far as I'm aware, even the 1st-generation MAGNOX reactors in the UK have longer to go to full decommissioning than the time that's passed since they were built.

"Proven" doesn't just mean "deployed at scale"; it also means "fully decommissioned". It's not fair to claim that nuclear is "clean", while leaving it to future generations to figure out how to actually clean up.

No.

I flinched hard at this, because this only works until it doesn't.

I've done the exact same thing: give a user a location to upload an Excel set up just the way we'd want to parse it.

Good luck dealing with the absolute morass of formatting troubles that Excel throws at you because:

1) The user didn't format a date input correctly and now Excel treats it as a simple string instead of its internal Date representation

2) Excel mysteriously treats a random entry in a numeric or date column (PEBKAC? Who knows! The user denies all wrong-doing!) as a string and now it's got a leading apostrophe

3) The user used someone else's computer which has different Regional Settings, and suddenly:

3a) Commas are decimal points in numbers instead of periods

3b) Date formatting is messed up

3c) Months and days have their names in a different language

...

And these are just the issues that I can remember without having to dredge through painful memories.

Have you considered any of the solar “generators”? Basically they incorporate a solar controller, inverter, and battery into one easy to use package. I typically get at least one outage/year here in the Midwest. I bought a kill-a-watt to measure what my fridge is using (about 2kwh/day) and it looks like one of these devices could keep that running through a longer outage. If you want to go even further you can buy more batteries!

> Factor in all the externalities that these other forms of energy bring in and nuclear is probably one of the cheapest.

There's a lot of handwaving in that personal assertion. The fact is that nuclear is by far more expensive than any alternative source of energy, baseless assertions on how with some imagination you can inflate cost of alternatives does nothing to change that.
Great idea. I think it's interesting how the hivemind decides what are great books. There are some objectively great books in the list, but also very debatable ones.

For example, The Design of Everyday Things has some interesting content, but I found it almost unreadable. It's such a poorly organized and written book that its design seems to go against almost every rule discussed in the actual content. Keeps surprising me that this is such a highly praised book.

One of the things I am wondering about is how I have found housing that is not affordable to a single working adult but once you have two incomes the price is perfectly reasonable.

My hypothesis is that if there is a shortage of housing, then dual income households will bid the price up and this causes the appearance of unaffordable housing when the underlying cause is that there is a shortage. This effect does not happen when there is a housing surplus.
I guess that depends on if the language supports tail recursion and/or you're 100% sure it won't blow the stack. If you need to retry forever, without using any memory to do so, goto is perfect.
In the political context of 17th century China (and many premodern polities), it's much preferable to blame a scapegoat official for putting a factory in the wrong place than to blame divine intervention.

The former means the government executes a couple of people. The latter meant to most people that the government has lost 'the Mandate of Heaven' and is ready to be overthrown. That's extremely bad news to the government.

Pease be specific and explain exactly what you mean.

Fact 1: If you drink alcohol that has been denatured with an essentially nontoxic bitterant such as Bitrex/denatonium then with sufficient quanties you'll suffer ethanol/acetaldehyde poisoning and in the long term you'll likely liver cirrhosis - but you won't likely go blind.

Fact 2: If you drink ethanol denatured with methanol (and likely pyridine that usually accompanies it) then you'll likely go blind - and if you drink enough of it for long enough then you will definitely go blind. No ifs or buts, just scientific fact - that's if the methanol doesn't first kill you outright. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_toxicity

Fact 3: Ethanol denatured with nontoxic bitterants (denatonium) is considered to have a better public health outcome as alcoholics will still suffer the short and long term effects of ethanol whether they drink whiskey or industrial ethanol but those negative outcomes, whilst bad, are not as bad as combined ethanol/methanol/pyridine mixtures.

The key benefit of pattern matching is not code that is more concise, but code that is more likely to be correct.

Consider their first example, interpreting a command in a textual game. In many places the logic is divided into a few pieces: check that there are the right number of arguments, do something with some of them, pull off the rest, etc. It's really easy to make mistakes with this kind of code, where your conditions don't quite align. With pattern matching, you write a single pattern for a case, and I would expect this to give many fewer bugs.

This is in Napoleonic times, where naval warfare relied on broadsides of cannons. Stability is a far more important factor here. Also note that 4-decker ships, with a nominal advantage in firepower, were employed by the Spanish but eschewed by the Royal Navy for the same reason.
The company did not agree to anything freely. When the contractors striked, the company was prevented, by contract right violating laws, from replacing the strikers with new workers. They were therefore being extorted, and agreed under duress. The agreement prevented other workers, who are willing to work for the previous hourly wage, from underbidding the unuionized workers.
Nah, then they will try to get the information over other channels. Take the laptop and gift it to someone over craigslist or a similar site.

I think it's established that in the opioid crisis, all medication was prescribed by docters, for 2 important reasons:

1) pressure from patients (and sometimes the doctor themselves, too). What is wrong with drugs? I mean, we can all agree that there's a minority in society that doesn't see the problem here. There are plenty of medical people in that minority.

2) pain medication "cures" everything (cheaply!). Can't diagnose what's wrong? Opioids cure it! Not really sure if anything is wrong at all? Opioids make patient happy! Patient scared of treatment? Opioids cure the problem without the treatment! Patient can't pay for real treatment? Opioids cure it!

There is absolutely nothing stopping you from making a copiable FIDO key, and, in fact, most Bitcoin hardware wallets are just that, since they come with FIDO apps and you can copy the keys over to another hardware key. Or, you can write some Arduino firmware to make your own, copiable, FIDO2-compatible key.
It's completely irrelevant to human rights which groups stands to benefit from an authoritarian intervention. Rights are not predicated on whether you're big people, or little people.
