> What grand conspiracy am I missing? How does a miss like this happen?

The actual factual events and details? There was NOTHING safe about how SONGS and to a lesser extent Diablo Canyon operated.

Violations, falsified safety reports, and continued maintenance costs for upkeep make it untenable to keep them open given the immense risk being taken for less than 9% of total power consumption in CA.

I find Tech's view of Nuclear to be so childlike that I wonder if anyone has actually done more than watched some influencer de jour's hand waving podcast on it being the magic bullet to everything and actually taken the time to visit the areas in which these plants are and just look at the physical infrastructure bottle necks they create in the event of an evacuation since they are built along the coasts and more importantly the San Andrea's fault line.

SONGS was built next to a Military base (which means it cannot be accessed by citizens) and one of the most congested freeways in all of SoCal, that means you seriously have no way of leaving without creating a massive amount of traffic. Which means that evacuation is impossible.

Look at how people fled to higher ground during Fukushima's Tsunami, that would be impossible for most residents in the S. OC and N. San Diego areas in the case of such an event. It was simply bad city planning at a time when it was clear that profits > safety and Edison built these with reckless and headlong abandon.

Personally speaking this is so typical of 20th Century thinking that if we have to start from scratch to get these new 'miracle' power plants up and running, or create an incentive for renewable to increase it's share than so be it.

Personally speaking, I just wonder why rather than discussing an endless need to adding more power to the grid is never challenged and the thought about consuming less isn't discussed more.

Then again, that is just another reason why I don't live in CA anymore, either. Nuance seems to be entirely lost on the most critical topics, be it energy, water, housing, homelessness etc...
You mention "most", but that is not an easy qualifier to back up. More likely, it is "some".
>Tons of people have been outraged by the war

I am not talking about the war itself. I am talking about the outrage over spending on wars. For example, there is barely any debate in the public sphere about 'where to get money to spend on wars', but if it helps poor or middle income people, like say increased welfare payments, or healthcare or college, suddenly there is a huge outcry over "how do we pay for it".

> Effectively, we are seeing what happens when people stop working

There are a huge number of inputs going into supply chain breakdowns, and I find all of these takes to be wildly oversimplistic.

Taking a look at even just one aspect, the chip shortage: what you're seeing is a combination of underestimated demand (manufacturers assumed demand would decrease during Covid), bottlenecks in production, factory shutdowns, inflexible scheduling and sourcing, transportation difficulty, increasing demand from both companies/individuals who have shifted to remote and from cryptocurrency attention, etc...

And all of these shortages affect each other too, increasing and redirecting other goods and services, which can form complicated feedback loops. Chip shortages make transportation harder, which makes it harder to manufacture chips.

Employment is certainly a factor, but it's also certainly not the only factor. We are seeing stress fractures in a global system right now. There is no one cause (other than I guess the existence of Covid in general), and there is no single, one policy that anyone, Progressive or Conservative, can pass to fix the problem.

Anyone (Progressive or Conservative) who is trying to sell you the current shortage as simple proof of their ideology is not doing a good job of looking at the issue from a holistic perspective.
Nothing about your correction erases the irony.

Thank you for the correction; I did not know that. I can complain about the elisp maintainers using an established term in this confusing way†, but I shouldn't have claimed that your use of it was wrong; if you're discussing a particular program, it's better to use the canonical terminology used when talking about that program, even if it conflicts with usages in other contexts.

Also, IAP is separate from Apple Pay. This is a position from the Dutch government on whether Apple may compel app companies to support Apple Pay, and not whether Apple gets its cut. Paying through Stripe does not translate to an ability to dodge the IAP, unless we're talking about dodgy accounting.

Neither is this a position that app vendors must support multiple platforms such as Apple Pay. This is a win for app makers like PopEyes who really want your credit card.

This is not a win for consumers who want a choice as to whether Apple intermediates their payment relationship with app companies.

I'm sorry, but I made a factual statement. The money placed into a traditional IRA is a pre-tax contribution. The treatment of distributions is not relevant here; I am responding to a GP claim that money used in self-directed IRAs is strictly money that has been taxed.
But would you not need to use an FPGA anyway for experimentation and prototyping? If you want something more physical, fast and small you need a spot at an actual fab. There is no other alternative. You might also want to take a look at the "Minimal Fab" technology. I found out about it a year or so ago and it looked really interesting!
> the content they are showing is "information provided by another information content provider."

But they aren't. They make decisions about what goes into someone's feed. When they started out and the feed was just a list of items posted by people or groups you followed then it was just 'showing' content.

Using an algorithm to show people content that they will engage with more is not 'showing' something. It crosses the line into publishing. Facebook makes a decision about content
For multi-homing, you can also look at it another way: the only thing you have to do to move downstream hosts from one prefix and router to another is different router advertisements.

In theory, you could actually disable router advertisements on the routers themselves, and run a small daemon that just announces the right information.

I agree, but I don't see how to unwind the tangle we have created. Sometimes, things can be too cheap. We have been sucked into the race to the bottom on prices for goods so that everything is made somewhere else. We did it to ourselves in the end really.

Independently of what the "left" or the "right" is telling you, It's not hard to understand that if you rely on foreign workers to do certain jobs and they leave, you'll have a (temporary?) problem.

There is literally no societal benefit whatsoever to lowering taxes in a way that incentivizes people to invest their retirement savings in crypto speculation.

The entire point of our IRA/401k laws is to give people incentives to save money for retirement in the hopes that they will have a nest egg of stable assets that will allow them to leave their jobs, making room for the next generation and reducing the burden on families and social services.

The whole system was created because penniless old people are a corrosive social problem. These reforms just illustrate how much we've lost the plot on the original idea.
I would hazard it isn't your culture that is /embedded/ in the language, per se. It is more that your experiences are /compressed/ into your language.

You save no time by having shortened words for things that you could describe easily enough, if you aren't having to do so on a regular basis.

As an easy, for me, example. Consider the manipulation of cards. For most folks, you can flip a card. Rotate a card. Put a card on a table. Put a card in a stack on a table. Put it in a pile on a table. Etc., If you are a gamer, you draw a card, discard, tap, activate, hide, trash, remove, etc.. All have distinct differences that are only signified because they happen so often in a game that it wouldn't make sense not to compress them down.

Moving back to ice, I would hazard that there is probably not that many words for "sea-ice" in situations that are not encountered. Would love to know if I am wrong. (e.g., Asteroids made of salt water. Planets of frozen water? I could actually see either of those being in lore, but not sure.)

This type of opportunity is NOT available for low to middle class families, never will be. It's simply being exploited by the rich. These families live paycheck to paycheck more often than not, they're not going to have the ability to invest shares of a company or real estate into their IRA. THey're more worried about paying their bills and the next paycheck. They don't have the extra income to make these kinds of investments.

No, seriously, go read the fucking article and I think you'd understand instead of very clearly advocating for the rich like you are.

Python has a robust and very capable set of locks and multiprocessing primitives. The issue is that the GIL has been giving you atomic/serialized access to a lot of primitives for free since the inception of the language, so no one has really felt the need to do things like lock access to their basic dicts or lists. You can't just take that code and remove the GIL locking without causing chaos. And as we saw with the decade plus transition from Python 2->3 you can't just tell people to go fix all their old code.
> Without the wealthy (who run the company), we wouldn't have great products, and jobs

I watch birds fly around, and they seem to need no wealthy heir birds, inheriting the right to expropriate the value of surplus worker time of the birds searching for seeds to eat. "We", the poor humans, apparently need the wealthy to have jobs. The inhabitants of Sentilinese Island and the hunter gatherers still roaming around the Amazon seem to make do without these wealthy people bestowing the gift of jobs upon them. I suppose Russians had the beneficence of the czar and his family to thank for their living as well - that is until the Bolsheviks blasted and then bayoneted them all. Somehow, jobs seemed to continue in Russia after they were gone.

The problem for anti-environmentalists is that the broad predictions about the environment (climate change, warming) have been accurate. Everything else is noise.

And noise is the problem, on both sides of environment issues.

When you say "no shortage of failed predictions", you are able to cherrypick whatever you like, define failure however you like, and produce whatever resulting number you want. That is noise.

For environmentalists, straw bans? Stupid, spending valuable social "energy" on something irrelevant -- intentionally triggering the environmental equivalent of road rage in people whose cooperation you need. It's noise.
Doesn't gaining 600 points mean that you are able to beat the "old you" (or more precisely, people who you used to be even with) with 99% probability? (Or perhaps more meaningfully, you can now beat someone who could beat someone who could beat someone who could beat someone who can beat the old you, all with 80% probability?)

(I made up the exact numbers, but the idea is there.)

That seems like a meaningful interpretation of "600 points" that applies to anyone -- though the difficulty of actually making this improvement definitely varies with your starting rating.
> A ruling by the ECJ in March said that the EU can force member states to disregard certain provisions in national law, including constitutional law.

In other words, the ECJ considers EU member states to no longer be sovereign. Is this something the citizens of those states wanted? When joining the EU, was the pitch "EU law will be placed above our own laws and constitutions"?

Why can't the EU be merely a trade and foreign policy union - why does it have to spread into every area?
Working class people alone wouldn't create shit. They have to be provided tools, trained to do the job, and then overseen, so that they do not fuck it up.

> One of my favorite news source is PBS NewsHour.

I just started watching this over the past year, not every day, but when something interesting happens and I want a mindless way to follow developments.

I understand and agree with the general point, I just don't think progressives need to be taught this lesson. Everyone understands this.

Healthcare is an example of something we have a shortage of, especially during the pandemic. Are there progressives calling for redistribution of healthcare? I don't think universal healthcare implies redistribution, I think it implies more healthcare that costs less.

It is thought that if chess was played perfectly then it is probably a draw, but nobody knows. So if by "mistake" you mean "not exactly the best move to force a draw from move 1 to the final move", then yes. But in chess "mistake" usually means "large inaccuracy" rather than "not the best move". I just mean games at a higher elo are usually decided by pressing a smaller advantage, rather than someone hanging a queen by mistake, so basically just avoiding massive blunders gets the most elo benefit, rather than worrying too much about tactics or opening theory.
The OP seems to only source its claims to the Daily Mail[0], which itself does not contain any new claims except for this:

> The need to request formal permission also applies to employees offered pay cuts in return for staying at home in cases where the local cost of living is lower than around the office where they are usually based.

To start, this claim is unsourced.

I'm having a hard time interpreting this claim, but it seems like _maybe_ it's saying that FB is requesting individuals who were already approved for remote work to RTO. But it also seems like they're just describing the existing process, which is that if you want to remain remote beyond January 2022, you must be explicitly approved for remote work. Anyway, I can't speak for everyone, but as a remote approved FB employee, I've received no such request to RTO.

I appreciate your challenge here. You're right that my reply was handwavy. I'd love to read your analysis of the question if you'd oblige me. I'll also make another attempt as you ask.

I ultimately believe that there's a progression system of consciousness related to the nature of our being. Modifying our being by forming different kinds of attachments and detachments, in the Jungian sense of alchemy, allows us to achieve different states of consciousness. It appears to me that there exists an "enlightened" state of consciousness that is associated with the "perfect being." I believe the greatest achievement and goal of human existence is to transform ourselves into this perfect being, i.e., attain enlightenment.

Lenina has subordinated her prima materia to the macro alchemical work. Whereas John reserves his prima materia and seeks to work it himself in solitude. John is thus on the path to enlightenment, but Lenina has abandoned the path. If John keeps going, he may develop a pure enough being to see the kingdom of God, i.e., attain enlightenment (see Matthew 5:8). This is why John is ultimately superior to Lenina.

The beings of Helmholtz and Bernard offer us perfect examples of superiority and inferiority in being. Bernard is attached to the collective, but his attachment to the collective is not yielding its expected returns -- hence his misery. Helmholtz, on the other hand, is attached to the collective, but the yield on that bond is not enough to complete him: Helmholtz is yearning for a higher state of development, i.e., for a higher state of being.

When Bernard's status is elevated in the collective by his exploitation of John, he is overjoyed and complete. Helmholtz exploits John in a different way: he uses the Shakespeare in John to help him develop his potentialities, i.e., evolve into a higher state of being. The better man is seeking to evolve, while the lesser man yearns to fit in his place.

This is a brief sense of the metaphysics I subscribe to and the judgement it produces.

> Having said that, Ocaml compiler is one of the greatest miracles in PL when it comes to speed vs complexity of the language. Scala/Haskell/TS are not even close.

Someone will probably come correct me but what I've heard is that the compilation speed partially comes from the Pascal/Modula-3 influence, since Niklaus Wirth took compilation time into account when designing programming languages. From what I understand, OCaml doesn't allow circular dependencies outside of a single file, and that helps. Go doesn't allow them too, and is also known for its compilation speed.
Is there really a difference, though? To me this is all just "a rose by any other name" and calling something news vs entertainment is a distinction without a difference.
