I actually don't think they are hypocrites, at least not necessary. I think these things cause the problems:

1. Do not know how other countries work. A lot of stuff seems far fetched until you learn about about the places where it already happens.

2. Don't know much history so essentialize the last 50 years as the way it always ways (similar to 1)

3. Believe in "monotonically of virtue": i.e. that various compromises and half-measures at least deliver half the value.

4. Lack a sense of a urgency, or have faith that "at the end of the day, American institutions are good will work it out".

5. Might be more "idealist than materialist".

When you base a prediction on something else then science and it turns out to be too alarming, that's exaggerating.

When science predicts something that turns out to be too alarming, that's the model being perfectible.

What else do you suggest we should trust, if not science?

I think I might fall prey to this but I'm not sure.

In this situation, if I were Kim, I'd try to objectively evaluate my relationship with the ticker holder, and adjust accordingly.

When I have an objective measure, I think it is a cognitive distortion to view it in any way other than the facts: the ticket holder decided not to include me in the group that was going.

In this case, my adjustment would be based on my expectations from my relationship: if I'm very close to the ticker holder, and they know I would have wanted to go, it informs me that the relationship isn't reciprocated, and I need to adjust my expectations.

If I don't really know the ticket holder, or I know them well and know that they don't think I'd want to go, then my expectations from the relationship are met, and no adjustment is required.

So, is this a cognitive distortion? Am I assuming the worst possible interpretation of events? I think so. I'm 46, and the reason I do this is because my life has taught me that more harm results from assuming best intent when the evidence is clearly contradictory.
We need better mass transit in western WA. Not just municipal but wider scale. to deal with traffic congestion. I live south of Olympia and needed to go to Seattle, so I checked amtraks ticket prices and it was cheaper for me to pay gas and parking driving there and back then to take a train. So that means another car on already congested road and taking up one of the limited number of parking space. I want better mass transit but it needs to be affordable for anyone to use it and what we have isn't

Full Linux CLI, all the game systems of the 90s playable, all the hardware devices of the 90s emulated but much better (the Pokédex app was very good, TI emulator, etc), OTG docking for wired devices or you can use BT for hardware. They can do 90% of what your current phone can do but everything is a bit slower and worst, so using it as a dedicated device for various purposes like a Linux man page app at your computer, a device to game on, attach a controller, spares your non easily replaceable battery, if you have an iPhone and didn’t jailbreak, having a handheld Linux computer in your pocket is convenient to easily use CLI tools and SSH/MOSH.

It seems like it's just a fundamental rocket equation type limitation, battery tech has a very low mass vs energy density, and it's paired with an aircraft that will always be much lower efficiency than fixed wing.

I'm sure much longer flight times could be achieved using combustion engines, but obviously that wouldn't be a great idea inside a mine or in sensitive areas.

One workaround could be a sort of blimp/dirigible, but I don't think it could be scaled down the same size as a quadcopter.

Yes. F# 6 was just released with .NET 6 and Visual Studio 2022. It's an awesome language with a vibrant community. Plus, it's fully open source and cross-platform, so if MS were to abandon it, I think it could carry on anyway.
The very phrase 'denying the speaker's internet' posits and assumes such a thing which is beyond the speaker's pure self-conception.

I would say the problem here is that, in a vacuum, what establishes the speaker's intent as any more authoritative than the assumptions of the listener? The right to choose what it is you meant and to choose what it is you interpret are equally weighted here. Any additional weight that is to be applied must be applied within the context of a specific interpersonal relationship at a particular point in time.

Therefore generalized mappings of the weighting of such interactions cannot likely be established preemptively through a process of pure reason.

The divorce of intent (or lack thereof) in various scenarios exactly points out that there is not some unified notion of the necessity of intent (or lack thereof) being applied in order to come to judgement, but instead the conceptualization of when intent (or lack thereof) should matter is deployed, seemingly, on the very fundamentally subjective basis of 'I know it when I see it' or in terms of society: 'when it has been culturally deemed such'. So the friction here would not seem to be one of the misapplication of a schema, but the friction of running against a social more.

I don’t think torrents are any different in that aspect from the rest of the web.

Just as you would download and run an executable from a trusted source, you can download a torrent of an executable (from that trusted source) and run it.

E.g. many Linux distributions offer torrent links next to regular downloads; if you trust that website, you can download either file.

The EU doesn't have the 'free market above all' philosophy of the US. As a result venture capital is more restricted. In the US failure is not a bad thing, just a reason to try again. The EU is more risk averse. There's much more restriction on businesses, building megacities etc.

However there's a flip side to this like our much better social welfare systems and affordable healthcare. I personally prefer it this way. It does hurt us economically but economy isn't the only thing that matters.

In Europe we limit how high you can climb and this limits the amount of risky investment we attract because a big win is not automatically a mountain of profits due to more taxes and more regulations. But on the other hand we limit how far you can fall too. As a non-entrepreneur nor investor the latter matters much more to me.

Slightly tangential, but I got curious how is Google selling the whole "Privacy" Sandbox idea. Found this little nugget right on the homepage[1]:

Sadly, it seems to be power for the sake of power. I've been involved with a few govt green papers over the last 20 years, and most of the proposals are about bureaucrats extending their reach. It's why I vote Green now, as both Labor and Liberal have become so focused on preserving their power that they ignore the Rest Of The World and The Science.

For non-Australians, our Liberals are your Republicans, with all their faults, and our Labor is your Democrats, with all their faults.

Our Greens seem to have broadened their platform to include social justice and true libertarianism, so they're no _as_ powerhungry.

I'm putting this delicately, but if we're worried about things that might cause cancer, we might want to look at the past 40 years of novel chemicals approved in household or environmental products.

I'm not saying short-term, high-intensity FDA et al. EUA is ironclad, but it's a helluva lot more stringent and reviewed than what the EPA approves (or fails to ban) due to "economic considerations."

The famed Seattle Process "Consensus thru Exhaustion"
I think one of the best expositions of a possible world based on similar philosophies is The Disposessed by Ursula K LeGuin.

It's now presented as a material utopia, and the first time I read it, I found it to be in many ways as oppressive a way of life as the other forms presented in the novel. But, it has the benefit of feeling plausible and realistic, and as I have aged I find it more compelling than I did in my youth.

In any case. A great novel that should be more widely read.

I got my first iphone previous year coming from the android ecosystem. All the things the author mentioned are true. Luckily there was a simple solution to it. I deleted all of those apps altogether. Apple music, tv, wallet and even itunes, removed all of them. Also offloaded a bunch of apps. I’m not letting apple off the hook by saying this though, but at least I can delete the unnecessary apps so that’s alright.

Also, slightly off topic maybe but if you’ve seen the show Ted Lasso the advertisement of apple products is so aggressive that it becomes ridiculous after a point. Almost every other scene contains an apple product.

McMaster-Carr's website is great for finding items, but it's really irritating if you're just ordering one or two things and want to know what it'll actually cost.

Alright, I grant you, at least half of humanity wouldn't voluntarily wear a mask even to save the lives of their own family, as we've seen time and again. But the purpose of the masks is to save lives, like wearing a seat belt, or not drinking and driving. Sure, most people would rather drink alcohol while driving without a seat belt. But we don't allow it anyway.

That's not dehumanizing. It's the epitome of humanization. It's about civility, compassion, kindness, and overcoming cruel dispositions and rude habits to become or be made more humane.

>I haven’t read the books, but I found Gaal Dornick and Salvor Hardnick’s storylines very difficult to follow. The actors felt miscast and the character development felt extremely rushed.

As I said, it seems that a lot of the story has been sacrificed to the altar of "what works on TV." Which is really dumb IMO, but happens all the time.

In the novels (which I really do recommend highly!), the former is a minor character and the latter is much, much more than the series makes out.

If I had to hazard a guess, the treatment of those characters is an attempt to appeal to the female 18-34 demographic more than anything else.

Which gives Asimov's storytelling short shrift.

For what it is, the first season of the TV series (which covers the first third or so of the first novel), is so far from the novel that I kept saying "what the hell just happened?" "That makes no sense!" and "I hope Asimov's estate was compensated handsomely for this. That's the only good that could come out of it!"

That said, I tried in my submission, to ignore the novels and look at the TV "adaptation" separately. And the best I could come up with was "the production values were high" and "the story line wasn't too terrible."

I torrented the episodes, even though I have a free six-month subscription to AppleTV+.

Given that it's been my only experience with Apple's productions, I certainly won't be using, let alone renewing that subscription.

Then again, as a middle-aged man, the series is definitely not geared toward me. Perhaps it will find success with the target demographic.

But do go and read the original trilogy and, if it sparks your interest, the follow-on novels as well. They are much more coherent and tell an interesting story with astonishing scope.
Many companies buy directly from farmers or actually own farms. This however isn’t a major cost savings. Those distributors are actually doing a lot of work relative to the effort needed to produce it at a farm. Consider even just someone driving a semi truck from Idaho to NYC takes over 30 hours of labor one way and roughly transports one acre worth of potatoes. That’s excluding loading, packaging, unloading, etc or any effort needed to actually sell to each customer.

It’s not a “strategic reserve” in the traditional sense. Typically a strategic reserve is a store held by a country to survive through difficult circumstances. The reserve here is basically overproduction from Quebec’s maple syrup cartel. There is a state government-granted monopoly to this cartel, which forces all syrup producers to only sell via the cartel, at amounts allocated to each producer by the cartel. Any excess is held in this reserve across various warehouses, and it is only sold in years of low production or unusual demand that exceeds production.

I personally find the idea of this cartel really disagreeable. There’s a Netflix documentary series that covers the background here (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7909196/), and the person running the cartel is basically an egotistic power hoarder whose family managed to steer the state government into implementing this cartel to the benefit of a few producers, which then forced every other producer to join in. Small farmers who want to operate outside the cartel cannot do so. The lady in the documentary tries to get around it by selling her small production to distributors from other states instead of the cartel, but the well-funded cartel uses their legal team to shut her down and basically drive her to financial ruin.

One way to get around the cartel is to buy maple syrup from Vermont.
`init`, `self`, the comment syntax, `and`, `or`, and the import syntax are all pretty clearly python-inspired, to name a few. "Curly braces or no curly braces" is not the only syntax decision a language has to make.

There's obviously a lot more inspiration from typescript, but they do list python second in the title, so that's fair.

No. There are roots and you can install any root you like including one you create. Is that some amount of centralization? I don't think so though convenience and efficiency encourage it on a single and not very important dimension. Once a CA signs a cert they are no longer involved in the HTTPS protocol and really that's the bulk of the use case.

Kubernetes Cluster API v1.0, Production Ready
You've been severely misinformed. You can read for example the UK's pre-pandemic playbook at (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...) - note they specifically call out universal masking, border closures, and restrictions on public gatherings as bad policies they don't plan to implement because there's no good evidence they help. Maybe they were wrong (I definitely think they were wrong on masks!), or maybe the difference between true influenza and a coronavirus with similar symptoms matters, but it's just not accurate to present these kinds of policies as the pre-pandemic consensus.
