“My cousin died because he made a choice to try heroin, got hooked on it and made a choice to share needles, contracted hepatitis, which turned into hepatoma.”

Fixed that for you. Truly sorry for your loss, but people make choices, and those choices have consequences.

Can we hold these two things to be true at the same time:

1. No one is forcing people to take these drugs. The choice to start is theirs. They are ultimately responsible for their choice to become addicted.

2. We should view an addict’s behavior through the lens of addiction, not the lens of a rational person making destructive choices. Addicts won’t respond to incentives like a normal person will.

We need to find ways to make it extraordinarily costly to start using drugs. This is how you prevent the crisis we’re in currently.

That means prison time for users. Heroin and fentanyl pour across the border due to demand for it. New users dabble in it because the perceived cost is low. If people understand that possessing or using means automatic and significant jail time if caught, then people are much less likely to even dabble.

Ultimately, people will still try it regardless, get hooked, and eventually get caught and sent to prison. And that’s a good thing. That means there are less users who are on a path to homelessness, overdose, and dependency on family, friends, and government programs. It also means less users out there to persuade others to start using. If we’re not going to run mental health hospitals with involuntary commitments, then prison time is what you’re left with.

Prison terms for using are five times as long as it takes to get users clean. Once they get out, if they’re caught again, the sentence is ten times as long as it takes to get clean. Each consecutive offense ratchets upward.

The result is twofold: users have ample opportunity to get clean and stay clean in prison, but most importantly, we create a society in which we simply do not tolerate drug use. It’s really that simple.

We are going to have as much drug addiction and use as we’re willing to pay for. If you lower the cost of using, you get more usage. Free usage sites with free needles and less risk will, and already has, resulted in more usage. The fact that people won’t recognize this is mind boggling.

Amazing, an exoplanet orbiting (possibly) a black hole!

>"If the present-day compact object is a BH, the formation event may have been a “failed supernova” during which relatively little mass was lost. If instead the present-day compact object is a NS, significant mass may have been lost through a supernova, and there may also have been a “kick”. Nevertheless, the presence of the massive star that is today’s donor would have allowed the system to survive and would have moderated the speed of NS’s natal the kick. Just as it is possible for a binary to survive a supernova explosion, it is also possible for wide-orbit planets to stay bound."

Traditionally car makers offer volume discounts because they have excess capacity i.e. they can make more cars that they can sell.

Currently Tesla is sold out 6 months in advance on Model 3 SR (the one that Hertz is buying).

Currently Tesla doesn't care if Hertz buys cars from them or not because they are sold out for the foreseeable future either way.

So if Hertz wants 100k EV to be delivered within a year, their only option is Tesla, because no other company can even make that many EV cars.

And if Tesla doesn't want to give them discount, they have to pay full price.

wanna make up some more garbage to fit your feelings? you apple people, sitting there "working" at the starbucks with your cracked all-glass slippery phone and your "pro" laptops are funny.

You are also conveniently leaving out the main points of the pro laptop. 128GB of RAM. ECC RAM - because it's not a pro anything w/o ECC. If your work matters, you absolutely cannot risk errors and data corruption or wrong calculations. Which you get when you have a lot of RAM that's not ECC.

Hey, how about a 4k screen? Because the pro laptops have had them for 5 years. Apple doesn't make any that are 4k. Oh, I do wonder if that boosts their GPU ratings too, since they render under 4k, and the real pro laptops render at 4k.

It was funny when iphoneX came out and an apple fanboy showed off his "OLED" awesome screen to me in the elevator. My 3 year old Nexus had an OLED too. But proving to him that Apple's screen wasn't Revolutionary and ahead of everyone was impossible. So I just kept laughing at him. Like I am at you. There is no difference in your thinking, and the "covid is a hoax" thinking. You will twist the laws of physics themselves to fit your feelings.
I'm not surprised by this.

Readdle's apps, namely 'Documents', have always been my go-to on iOS for editing PDFs and transferring files[1].

But they went and added a useless VPN to Documents, then released a 're-design' which cuts functionality (and from the reviews is quite buggy). It's sad to see a quality app degrade as the developer adds bloat and new 'features'.

1: For example, Documents (which edits PDFs as well) has a built-in WebDav server that is super useful for getting files between an iPhone and a Linux machine over Wifi.
The book documents multiple direct instances of Richard Sackler being told that his drugs were affecting people in his community (an anesthesiologist in his kids school told Richard Sackler he would be a modern day Pablo Escobar for example). There is a Sackler family member who had addiction problems and committed suicide. A receptionist an aide to the upper circle of the family/company became addicted.

If there is a positive part to the book it is indeed some very small sense of social justice outside of the legal system (which failed to hold them to account). Nan Goldin is an artist who lead the way in organizing protests and press that would lead to their names being taken off the very museums and universities they had paid to put their name on. They had worked hard, over multiple generations, to have clean name despite their business. Nan and others did a lot of work to make sure that changed.
How would a official package manager solve packages being out of date? Apple has a means to deliver those updates already. If they had an interest in doing so, they'd update them.

"Someone makes intense claim regarding IP law theft": interesting! Maybe it's true? If it's true, that is interesting in itself! It's pure palace intrigue with basically no important consequences (even if Palmer Lucky were to lose all his money he would end up being fine in the way that everyone above a certain strata ends up only falling up).

"Turns out the claim is not accepted by the courts": given that this didn't really matter for anyone beyond the two people, not interesting!

The important aspect here being this is like a dispute around money with really no consequences. Of course doesn't help that the people involved are not exactly super friendly. Palace intrigue. Fun to read about and talk about! Not important

Oh my, this reminds me of a Lyft I got home from the airport once. The driver didn't know how to hold the throttle steady and was constantly on and off the gas for the entire 15 mile drive back home on the interstate. I was nauseous and nearly puking by the time I got home, even sitting in the front passenger seat because I'm already prone to motion sickness.

I'm hoping their car was actually broken in some way, because I'm assuming they had owned a license for decades at that point.

However, I'm pessimistic and curious if some people just learn to drive with the constant coasting on and off the throttle? Maybe it's an international thing? I'm not sure but I will never forget that ride!

I agree with that in principle, but I think the things OP writes about are egregiously bad. Both in the sense of the employees in question being incredibly careless, and the company being negligent in developing process around having this sort of "god mode" access.

> I can't tell why the copy in the article didn't work? You should be able to move /usr to another partition, no?

The way it reads, they didn't know how POSIX permissions work, and maybe still don't. The article says that sudo needs to be owned by uid 0, but does not mention the critical suid bit. Maybe they just recursively copied /usr without preserving permissions?

Also, the mention of sudo makes it pretty clear that they did not do this in an interactive root shell (obtainable with sudo -s/-i or su if there is a root pw). If you do this kind of shenanigans, you better have multiple open root shells in front of you, and some statically linked binaries (busybox?) to recover from the inevitable chaos of missing binaries, shared libraries, and dynamic loaders that you'll transiently have.[1] It's not impossible to perform, but requires careful planning and a good understanding.

[1] Though if /usr was indeed copied without preserving permissions, recovering would have been very tedious.

> Sorry, I stopped reading after your first line.

I can tell, because you obviously didn’t read:

> the 11980HK is clearly allowed to go to much higher power levels than the M1 Max, reaching package power levels of 80W, for 105-110W at the wall

Meanwhile the M1 max:

> In multi-threaded scenarios, the package and wall power vary from 34-43W on package, and wall active power from 40 to 62W

So it’s over twice as fast (2.2X), at about 1/2 the power - hence Anandtech’s conclusion of “about 6x perf/watt”.

It’s ok, you can still complain that obviously a higher clocked processor should have lower efficiency, and Anandtech addressed that too, in the very next sentence!

> The performance levels of the M1 Max are significantly higher than the Intel chip here, due to the much better scalability of the cores. The perf/W differences here are 4-6x in favour of the M1 Max, all whilst posting significantly better performance, meaning the perf/W at ISO-perf would be even higher than this.

Yep, that’s the picture. Lose by a factor of 2.2X in performance and by a factor of 2-3x in power consumption, or lose by a factor of 4 in performance (made up number but probably about right) at equal power.

Apple is way out ahead here, far more than can be explained by “being a node ahead” or “using tighter pitches”. Their design is ahead.
You make it sound it is the news media's fault, when it is just a symptom of the public's attention and interest.
Yep, that's also because: "Earlier this year researchers at the London School of Economics released a paper titled, “Why Do People Stay Poor?” that illustrated how the lack of initial wealth (and not motivation or talent) is what keeps people in poverty. The researchers tested this by randomly allocating wealth (i.e. livestock) to female villagers in Bangladesh and then waited to see how that wealth transfer would affect their future finances. As their paper states:

[We] find that, if the program pushes individuals above a threshold level of initial assets, then they escape poverty, but, if it does not, they slide back into poverty…Our findings imply that large one-off transfers that enable people to take on more productive occupations can help alleviate persistent poverty.

Their paper clearly illustrates that many poor people stay poor not because of their talent/motivation, but because they are in low-paying jobs that they must work to survive."

That doesn't agree with anything I've learned about battling addiction. Do you have any research or studies that support that? Or other programs with a good track record?

Because, unless you are using the term "friction" to be so all-encompassing as to be meaningless, this sounds like a recipe for a lot of failed attempts to fight addiction.
> After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other word? A word contains its opposite in itself. Take ‘good’, for instance. If you have a word like ‘good’, what need is there for a word like ‘bad’? ‘Ungood’ will do just as well—better, because it’s an exact opposite, which the other is not.

Aside from the 1984 reference (which is appreciated), the fact is that hanging a negative prefix (or suffix) on an adjective doesn't actually capture the meaning of the antonym. Or if it is defined to be equivalent, then you're missing out on various useful shades of meaning. Consider the uses of the phrases 'not good', 'not very good', 'not bad', 'not too bad', etc.

For example, 'not good' often doesn't actually mean 'bad', it is (usually) closer in meaning to 'not good enough', or perhaps 'mediocre'. When 'not good' actually does mean 'bad' or even 'very bad' it is because the speaker is using understatement.

Orwell was trying to make a point about the totalization of language and constraining thinking to promote binary thinking (us/them, for/against, good/bad). But he failed to really account for human perversity, which would have immediately produced phrases in NewSpeak such as 'not ungood', 'un-doubleplus ungood', etc., not to mention the use of sarcasm, which in the UK can be so deadpan that it is undetectable unless you have a lot of context.

Oddly, while Orwell obviously understood both satire and parody, and employed both to great effect, sarcasm seems to have largely eluded him. His characters are nearly always earnest and sincere. A few are insincere, euphemistic, even mendacious, but I don't think many (or any?) are ever sarcastic. It's an odd omission.
Cleaning and turning around keys-in to keys-out in 15 minutes probably rarely happens at Hertz in what I've witnessed (I've rented >100 times from them). But that said, most cars probably will come back at least 50% charged, so it is only 15 minutes to charge (while cleaning in parallel).

And perhaps if you're a customer picking out Model 3 cars on the lot and you pick one not fully charged.. you could decide to wait it out or just drive.
You can do both things at the same time, add new features that don't alienate their powerusers while also having a stable OS. Maybe if Apple delivered on both counts more in recent years people wouldn't feel the need to complain so much. It was complaining after all that got them to wake up and kill the touchbar and that butterfly keyboard.
I think a lot of Tesla's problems here have to do with making exaggerated statements about their product's current and future capabilities. The Silicon Valley "fake it till you make it" and "selling ideas" culture just isn't compatible with safety critical products (c.f. Theranos, as well).

> SAS is a query language, so it has a lot in common with SQL, though it's much more powerful.

Well, as I recall it, it's more of a database management / software development package with an integrated data manipulation language (the original one, among the at least three "languages" it contains) to make new datasets based on existing ones. Yes, as an imperative Turing-complete language that's much more powerful than SQL, but it carries with it a huge overhead in the form of the whole rest of the system. Not to mention the lock-in.

I think that especially when you're looking at multi-day rentals, Hertz doesn't really need to turn things around.

rent the car in the morning, keep it for a while, you bring it back some evening, it gets rented out the next morning.

In my experience some people keep making the same careless mistakes, the first time, you let it pass, treat it as a learning experience. The second time, you start seeing that it's always the same person doing the same mistake.

Copy pasting is not an excuse, before you run anything destructive, you double check what you're running.

Anyone who is responsible will double check before running this kind of command, and if I can't get that person off the team, I'd severely restrict his access (in general, I think most people in a team should not have access to production data).

And we do have disaster recovery plans so there's very little that could be done that would be catastrophic. But still, a lot of the disaster recovery plans call for downtime because it's not worth the cost benefit to engineer the system to be completely resilient to idiocy.
> ...why would any drugs even leave the facility.

They wouldn't need to. Supply follows demand. When you get enough users in one spot, you'll find dealers. I'm strongly anti-prohibition and I think safe supply and safe injection sites are crucial, but there's no silver bullet. Every simple solution will cause knock-on problems.
They’ve been fighting the suppliers. It’s time to go after the demand side, too. Every user bought their drugs from a dealer. Throw them in jail with the dealer.

It seems like every solution in this thread is something other than “punish people who buy or sell drugs.”

Can we at least try ruthless enforcement before we try free drugs for addicts paid for by taxpayers?

I recall as a kid that I might hear a pop song on the radio for years without even -noticing- the lyrics (or the artist for that matter). It seems that, while I hear it all, what I'm listening to - is what I'm most attracted to. (I usually did listen to the funny lyrics of novelty singles - often backed by pretty silly music.)

I suspect that, for most of us, unless we get consciously involved, what we're most attracted to is the most pleasing or exciting or interesting 'channel'. (In the case of pop music, maybe we're more enchanted by the singer - or the 'message' - and the music be damned.)

In much non-vocal, 'purely' orchestral music, the melody is the attention getter, and all the other notes might be treated as 'just the support group'. Some conductors work hard to bring out the best parts of that support. (A lot of weaker melodies are strongly dependent on how they're harmonized.)
