That's why pros put down animals with a Barbiturate injection or a bullet.

Try to kill a dog with a bludgeon and you will either fail to do it or wake up with nightmares for the next few months. Maybe both.

Even the bullet takes some knowledge. A stupid cop in a small town near here once emptied his service revolver on a cow that was "menacing" the high school and had to call a farmer to finish the job with a shotgun. That's one situation where you get better results capturing the animal with a bucket of grain and a rope.

Temporarily correct. I am eagerly awaiting the publication of results from "Evaluating one-time cash transfers to U.S. households during the COVID-19 pandemic", which has the trials completed, and analysis underway.

However, they have had previous programs of their own that ran in the US, such as their Hurricane Harvey relief programs. (Which haven't turned into research papers).
Which country? What do you mean by fine? It might not affect you directly but there's going to be some negative to treating it that way. A lot of countries that provide services like this tend to have massive burdens on their health systems as well.

It's a tradeoff. It might be a better tradeoff for society as a whole but this idea that there aren't some cons to doing it that way is just false.

Personally, I think if your company was able to do without you for 7 months then they don't need you as an employee. My guess is that your salaries are much lower than someone would receive in the US.

Humans can effectively run forever if it weren't for needing sleep, or eventually, needing to replace fat stores.

Without knowing your company in detail, based on what you describe and general business practices, I'd be willing to bet that they'd fire you in no time if you ever stopped providing value for them. So why be loyal at all? 8 weeks is crumbs, and you even had to fight for that. I mean if you've been a solid employee for X years, briefly asking for a bit of time off for a life changing event should be absolutely fine, instead of the miserly response you describe. Just a bit of outsider's perspective, but I'd say you're hardly working with people who really respect you beyond their bottom line.

I've been reading "Mistakes Were Made (but not by me)" by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson. My daughter recommended it to me and I finally got around to reading it. The main thesis is that everyone is prone to self-justification, which is an umbrella under which one finds motivated reasoning, projection, and so forth. It belabors its points a bit, but it's a good read, and seems relevant to this thread.

Finland?

Yes, the US rewards those that manage to get an education. Where we fail is ensuring everybody who wants a top-quality education has access. At the post-secondary level, it's largely a money problem - school is just too expensive. And whole scholarships and other funding sources do exist, a student needs a lot of guidance on obtaining that money.
But land is not where people live. Buildings are. Buildings which can be built higher. Building materials are global commodities. So why doesn’t the US just build more stories than India if the land is more expensive but the commodities to build buildings, relative to cost of land, are cheaper? Answer: zoning codes, “local control,” and regulations.

(Also, the land density per person is actually MUCH higher in India than the US, over an order of magnitude higher, which OUGHT to bid up the price of land even more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependen... )

The reality is we make it illegal to be poor, whether intentional or not.

And then put meanstesting in social programs to target them, which has the perverse effect of making it harder for those who are poorest (ie least able to navigate bureaucracy) to get access to them.

And as far as ideology, both the left and the right seem to conspire to make this happen. It’s worse in cities than rural area due to obvious reasons, but within a city itself, both the mainstream left and mainstream right seem to back the regulations that make it illegal to be poor.
>how would you prevent other bars from selling to people without a centralized database.

Holding bars accountable.

TABC (Texas bar regulator) tells all bartenders TODAY that you cannot serve someone to excess (above 0.08% BAC) and cannot serve someone who is already drunk. I guarantee you that every single bartender in Texas has violated this regulation.

When the regulations step in with reality, and are enforced, maybe fewer people would be overserved.

Dithering can be applied to any palettesd imaged; in the earlier days of the net, restricted color palettes could indeed help reduce size. Dithering however can interfere with run length encoding (RLE) compression used in certain formats (i.e. GIF, or the ancient PCX).

As I understand it, JPEG compression does not play nice with dithering as it is based on a matrix of discrete cosine transformations. Smooth transitions from one color to the next are much easier to compress this way than highly detailed features (i.e. a series of small dots due to dithering). For example, if you blur out parts of a photo, you will likely get a smaller image at the same compression level as the original. In other words, dithering basically creates a much harder image for the JPEG algorithm to compress.
> Hopefully the community will come together and figure out a good solution for the mess that YT is creating.

If youtube won't host the information, it becomes a search problem: who has voted on this link? How have they voted?

Certainly the easiest path would be to create a new centralized site that hosts all these votes. Then create an extension to add these downvotes back in.

Ideally you'd probably want to also have folks be willing to track views too, since downvotes is pretty much a consideration of ratios; 22 downvotes doesn't sound like a lot if there's a million views but it's a lot if there's 100 views.

So now we have an extension that tracks every youtube video you view and submits it to some centralized site, along with upvote/downvotes.

It'd be excellent to try to evolve a more distributed p2p architecture for doing this, but short of recording it on a blockchain- and a roll-up side-chain probably won't help- there's not a lot of good ways to do this. An intermediary step would be to have folks create micro-pages that record their votes. Then we can search "link:https://youtube.com/1a2s3d4f" to use google to go find all the votes people have created.

It's sad & bitter Youtube is de-democratizing this way, is serving their customers & not the audience, but it does interestingly highlight what a hard problem it is to create real demoncratic systems online.

I've experimented with that. It only works if you pick you pick a form of ordered dithering, like a Bayer index or Interleaved Gradient Noise[0][1]. Which looks pretty terrible compared to error diffusion dithering approaches like Sierra3. And even if you use ordered dithering it only somewhat helps with compression.

"Even if they've done this well it seems risky to start trying to learn from the "successful" programs of poor states on the theory that maybe the things they are successful at are holding them back."

You should always looking at what others are doing and draw your own conclusions. I think one thing that may cause or is already causing problems for the US is the refusal to look at what other countries are doing, for example in health care, social programs or drug policy. You don't have to copy what others are doing but having a good understanding is very helpful.

Wrong, 90% of mined blocks need to signal it, not 90% of nodes. Big difference:

To be more precise: 1,815 out of 2,016 blocks mined within a period have to include a little piece of encoded information that indicates that the miners who mined those blocks are in favor of the upgrade.

I don't think it's just pidgin. Let's pretend I want to get started on XMPP -- I just did "apt search xmpp".. my first results were

coyim -- cannot find xep-0313 support, but [0] seems to indicate no?

dino-im -- HEAD supports xep-0313 but Ubuntu's repo has "0.0.git20180130"... from [1] I think it should be fine too?

ekg2-jabbel "0.4~pre+20120506.1" -- looks dead, but based on date, I guess no support

empathy (part of GNOME): seems like no support? [2]

So... 1/4 for initial sample. And I've had to resort to looking at source code in some cases to determine if this exists or not.

Let's not blame pidgin -- most existing XMPP clients do not have offline message support. And if you want to set up a functional XMPP chat system, you have to start by reading forums and then do a bunch of manual compatibility tests on each platform you care about, as there is no guide anywhere on https://xmpp.org or any other official-looking places I could find.

So it's no wonder that people choose Slack. Sure, it is primarily a web app, and the client is atrocious, but at least I am 100% sure that when my bot posts an report with
an image and some buttons, everyone will be able to see and interact with that.

The mistake you make is assuming that your supposed 'noble intentions' justify what you are proposing; they do not. Your noble intentions are absolutely hypocritical and fake. If you really cared about the poor, you would voluntarily donate money from your own pocket; you don't need a law for that. Instead, you want to use the legislator to compel the others to the involuntary distribution of their hard-earned money.

A nation can just as easily 'accidentally help someone' to its own demise. What happens when you incentivize idleness on a national scale? What happens tax rates have to keep going up and up to fund the benefits of the idle? What about all the vast social welfare programs we already have in place here in America? What about the worker shortage that unemployment benefits caused just recently during the pandemic? A worker shortage I saw everywhere, first hand. Whatever country you're from, you're doing a bad job representing it.

Likely, if they didn't include some equivalent of "lawyer tabs" on the dropout. Compared to the general level of risk-taking of doing things like competitively descending Galibier or Tourmalet on wooden rims that added risk is probably a rounding error.
If this is true, I would bet it has more to do with metadata of the art rather than the art itself. Taste might not even enter the equation. The Michelangelo piece has many things going for it before you even get to the art itself: Painter's name value, importance to a Catholics (and probably other Christians, too), the original is a larger part of pop culture, the original is hung in a more iconic building, the importance of who commissioned it, people are more likely to have seen the Michelangelo in person and are likely to have a personal connection to it, etc.

Ask someone, you can have a replica of a piece you've seen, maybe even in person, that has cultural importance to their religion and it is by {famous artist} or you can have a replica of a piece by {some other artist}. I'd guess they'd go with what they know, sight unseen.
I think it's as simple as commenting "dislike" on the video instead. It will fill the comments with negative responses that are easily recognized, and while you don't get counts it won't be hard to tell if a video has a lot of dislikes.

It would be better to get a count and ratio of like to dislikes but Google doesn't want that so comments it is.

The other option is an off-site like/dislike page that is hosted off of Google's servers and not subject to their tos. Maybe accessible through an extension. Abandon YouTube like/comments since they clearly can't handle the engagement and host the discussion on a third party page - one page with a like/dislike count for each YouTube video and with better forum type tools than YouTube comments offer. A good opportunity for a third party to build a tool that solves the problem outside of YouTube.

Very cool. I'll reach out.

When Nick Schrock created dagster, he argued that many "data cleaning" tasks which people attribute to "data engineering" aren't actually "cleaning", but are architecture problems. I believe schema changes also fall into this category. I'm extremely new to data engineering, but when I think about "What are the things which will break this system?" an application engineer thinking "I'm going to rename this column and my tests pass, so this should be fine" will break things all the time. (Similar goes for dropping a column, changing a one-to-many into a many-to-many)

Even that would generally not require removing the right of what people want to build in their land!

You can surely charge people for polluting the air outside their land, or making too much noise in other peoples properties/public land, etc... Without imposing limitations on what people can build.

In the same way you can fine people for littering or putting on loud music in public, you can fine them for doing the same when it's coming out of their property. No need to ban anything outside of the harmful act.

And indeed, such a stance, if applied equally everywhere and across the board, would very much be able to replace the few positive effects of zoning.

For example, instead of having dedicated "industrial districts", simply by enforcing pollution and noise levels on public rights of way you can ensure the harmful impacts of such pollution impact only those who agree to be impacted.

Want to build a loud factory somewhere? All you need to do is buy enough land around it that by the time the noise leaves your property line it's in low enough that its within the same levels as it would be in any residential area.

If you can't afford to buy that much land, you can simply get together with other industrialists and build up a private "industrial area" to make good on economies of scale. Best thing is, since that "industrial area" is entirely privately owned, the general public won't even have to pay for the road upkeep inside it!

The same thing happens with pollution! Feel free to make as many smoke stacks as you want! You'll be charged for every CO2 coming out of your property line! This encourages industrialists to put in carbon capture right at the source!
