> storing chemical emissions(CO2) is not.

My comment isn't talking about CO2. I'm talking about e.g. benzene.

Nuclear waste disposal is concerned/stymied by the possibility that the water table in remote areas where no one lives currently may be moderately contaminated in thousands of years if it fails, and this contamination may last thousands of years.

Whereas we have contaminated the water table in populated areas with benzene and aromatics -- where they will remain contaminated for thousands of tens of thousands of years.

That is, we're trying to prevent theoretical harms in the distant future, and in so doing, we're accepting much larger present harms.

The folly is that if you did upload to github, they would have wanted to see steady commit history as well, which would have given away how much time you actually worked on it.

The key is lying because you already had a similar code base to use, most likely from interviewing so much you'd seen it before.
Pork works really well actually, it's the grease that allows useful projects to go forward. The DOD is getting lead around by the nose because they themselves insisted on consolidation during the Reagan era, and none of the administrations since have bothered to correct the problem. They've been hoisted on their own petard.

> For national security, we need a state of affairs wherein it is profitable to build and run a plant in the U.S. that responds primarily to the dynamic needs of private actors.

National Security should revolve around the profit motives of a handful of private actors? Hard pass.
> Home prices used to be included in the CPI formula, which is how you get to similar number.

Sorry, I thought you were making the geometric mean argument. Yeah that would definitely add significantly for this year in particular. Home price inflation is about 20%, and is replacing housing inflation at maybe 3% in the CPI calc. Owner occupiers are ~64% of the housing market which contributes around ~33% to CPI. So including that would add (.2 - .03) x .33 x .64 = .036 so 3.6% to CPI.

So around 10%. Comparable to most of the 70s, but not the high-teens emergency points.

And yes the Fed doesn't always accurately predict inflation, but in the long run no one else does either (and one could make billions doing so, it's not like no one's trying).
I don't understand why people are so opposed to pork spending? Pork is how things got done historically. Sure on the surface it's wasteful, but it promotes compromise and greases the wheels of government. None of the great works in the US would have been completed without it. Pork reform in my opinion is one of the reasons why things are so partisan these days - everyone is in their own corner and there's no incentive for Democrats to help Republicans and vice versa.

I would figure from a self interested perspective a repeat of 2008 would be pretty advantageous to an aspiring homeowner. Home prices peaked at $262,600 median in March 2007 and bottomed at $205,100 in March of 2009.[1] Rates were even about a % lower in 2009.[2][3]

Of course if the hypothetical aspiring homeowner with excellent market timing lost their job the point would be moot, but if their income stayed the same and they put 20,000 down their monthly payments would have gone from $1,302 to $994.

> What makes group messaging so much harder to implement?

Group messaging requires MMS, so you don't get it for free by just implementing SMS. Most up-and-coming platforms seem to stop at SMS - which you do need for MMS as its control messages are sent via SMS, but it's not enough.
The wast majority of people care about their relative status and power, not solving the problem. The people in the environmental lobby are far more concerned with keeping the problem than solving it.

This just highlights difference between a student project proof-of-concept and a product... and thus, you need to know what kind of software you're developing.

> Exactly like they did on Iraq.

That was very shocking, because it eroded public good will towards the US, making it obvious the government would use whatever falsehoods to justify an illegal war despite the fact international experts on the ground were clearly stating the opposite. That and using its privileged position in the UN Security Council to avoid any repercussions, effectively nullifying the organization and showing it has no teeth against the US.

The Russia thing has some interesting facets however. Did Putin actually plan on Trump being elected? I very much doubt so - nobody in their right mind would expect that. Was he pleased? I bet he was. We know Russia has been financing disinformation campaigns in Europe to destabilize the EU, and the far-right has embraced that as a convenient way to reach power. The damage that caused to US politics will take decades to repair, and even if it can heal itself is debatable at this point.

With these sorts of proposals, I don't understand why government funding would make much difference (other than cash can sometimes help a bit).

How does it help to recruit specialists? How would it help them buy the manufacturing hardware which I heard is usually on 1 year+ lead times? What do you actually physically do with the money if you get it?

People like Intel have the cash to build a plant, if they can get hold of the hardware, they have almost guaranteed 100% utilisation as soon as the plant is open and will quickly recoup their costs to extend faciliites.

If they can't get the hardware and people to operate it, then the money seems useless?
> I sense that they are intentionally covering the situation in non-inflammatory way.

We want more of this though right?

I sense that many people can't understand the difference between opinions or editorials and news.

I sense that many people actually enjoy the inflammatory way news is sometimes covered unless it's different from the way they'd like to see it.

I sense that people can't understand how a single new outlet can have varying opinions and points of view on a single issue and will choose a single one out of many to make their point.

Imagine how different things would be if people were intelligent consumers of news.

I don't think you can have a news industry dependent on clicks and profits and have no sensationalism. I also don't think you can have a completely unbiased media when people, based on their consumption, don't seem to want it. It's unrealistic given the different biases and motivations that people have.
This sums up the country as a whole.

I can't speak to the Apple store, but I do have years of experience with on-site repairs for both Dell and HP.

Both Dell and HP business on-site repair service is really good (though I prefer Dell to HP). Depot warranties for consumers are horrible, no matter the company. I've been advising friends and family to purchase business-oriented equipment and pay for on-site warranties (for the intended duration of the lifetime of the product). It makes life ridiculously easier.

Consumer warranties on PCs are universally awful in my experience.
Hi,

I don't have preferences on the interface. As far as it is accessible, I can learn to work with it. E.g. VSCode make everything possible to make their interface accessible and they are continuously fixing any reported issues.

When it comes to code, verbose is better. Abbreviations take effort to decode. I can remap some symbols to have different pronunciations, but it does not work always. E.g. I've maid the sr to speak the ":=" operator in python as "assigned from", but brackets have nesting and orientation, and too many of them get nasty to listen to or follow.

There was a great interview between Peter Attia and David Nutt on the research and effectiveness of psychedelics on various disorders https://peterattiamd.com/davidnutt/

He touches on the history of governments banning various drugs through junk science and propaganda (mostly from the US which influences the rest of the world). The scheduling system for drugs is a joke.

Also interesting that the inventor of AA credited LSD for his ability to quit drinking.

Edit: David Nutt authored this study in the NEJM https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2032994 which pitted psilocybin against lexapro for the treatment of depression and it showed the same effectiveness (more nuanced than that but you'll have to read or listen). Peter talked about how he is very familiar with Lexapro and it's side effects (libido, a blunting effect on life) in his patients and remarked that what was most exciting about that study is that it showed it could be as effective as Lexapro with less side effects.

You forgot Alabama and Michigan.

Kentucky, Alabama, and Michigan are huge automobile assembly states [1] who are hurting from chip shortages. KY/AL are especially dependent on the auto assembly industry for non-ag employment.

California has Tesla, of course, but also likely to benefit from chip fabrication.

Wisconsin is kind of a historical auto state, so some solidarity makes sense. More importantly, though, I think WI+IL see potential for chip fab in their states because of their globally-unique fresh water source (Lake Michigan), and NC is probably on board because they see potential to benefit from domestic chip fabs in research triangle. Pennsylvania probably fits into this "one foot in because of auto suppliers and the other foot in because of tech" camp also.

The huge elephant in the room is that Ohio, also a huge auto assembly state, isn't on board. I can't really explain why Ohio's not on board, other than maybe their governor playing petty politics.
