Your link says that the number of new laws was regularly in the 600s or 700s in the 70s and 80s; in the last decade it’s been down in the 300s (it crept above 400 once, for the 115th Congress, which was a Republican Congress under a Republican president).

Sure, the total amount of legislation in Congress has gone up (since the 80s - the 70s we’re far more prolific), but the bills don’t make it through. Bills that die in committee or get voted down don’t matter.

The president doesn’t need to veto things outright - leaders in Congress get the message and don’t bother passing bills if they can’t get enough support to override the veto.

It's certainly a lot more challenging when the relative velocities are high. You're precluded from using long exposures, and resolution will be limited. Getting close (similar orbits) is going to yield much better results, no?
what does "augmented" mean to you?

to me, listening to a podcast while driving is probably augmented reality, and that has nothing to do with driving or the route I'm taking.

this does augment the activity intended.
You clearly don't watch any political videos if the ratios you're seeing are universally that favourable. Almost all mainstream news content was heavily downvoted. More recently content promoting vaccines, LGBT politics, diversity / BLM related topics, etc have all come under significant fire from viewers and is very often downvoted.

I strongly suspect YouTube is having the same problem rotten tomatoes has been having in recent years... In their case we've seen films such as Captain Marvel do very poorly with audiences, while largely receiving praise from critics. What's the problem with that? Well, if you happen to land on a certain side of the culture wars you may start asking if the film's audience review is actually a reflection of the films quality or if it's just a reflection of it being vote bombed by misogynistic trolls. If you think it's the latter then you might feel the need to take action, and in the case of rotten tomatoes you might start altering and deleting audience reviews to ensure the audience score is conforming with what you know to be their true opinion of the film.

I'm not saying YouTube did remove the dislike button for political reasons, but their reasoning for doing so certainly doesn't make any sense. If creators are being harassed by the dislike button they can just disable it as many creators had been doing. And if you disable the dislike button you're only encouraging hate in the comments, which is probably worse for a creators mental health, and already enough of a problem on YouTube as it is. The timing of this move is also extremely suspicious. Nowadays my YouTube homepage seems to be full of mainstream news channels which I haven't subbed too often pushing the mainstream narrative in regards to COVID vaccines or some other hot culture war issue.

Right now I have 6 mainstream media videos being shown on my homepage none of which I have subbed to, 5 of which are COVID related and the other is about Ghislaine Maxwell. I have absolutely no interest in this content, in fact I actively try to avoid the news but YouTube for whatever reason has been pushing these videos onto my feed recently and therefore if I do end up watching them I'm likely not going to enjoy it much and am probably quite likely to downvote them.

I guess I'm not saying big tech have an interest in controlling what information you see and how you perceive it, but it certainly looks a bit suspicious.
Agreed.

For example, a recent report on the SF homeless population flags 15% of them as having a traumatic brain injury.

You can spend as much as you want on other things, but those people need permanent, long-term medical care and nothing less is going to help.

This is the analogy I'm going to use from now on when people ask how I liked them.

I think Engo has a chance to win though, at least for a while. They could release v2 next year with improved hardware and a slightly lower price and cyclists would eat it up.

Meanwhile, Apple is going to release their AR glasses but I don't think the initial version will be rugged enough for sports use. And I imagine they'll be MUCH more than $300.
A simpler way for the shipper to avoid the chargebacks or otherwise figure out what site the item was ordered from might be to include a card in the packaging asking the user to submit some survey that happens to ask what site the product was purchased from, in exchange for a discount/rebate. Maybe mention the official sales channels and say that if it was purchased from another channel, it might not be legit

> There's nothing wrong with the phrase "deep state". If you're concerned about associations with Trump (which I think you should not be), you can use a former Obama official's favored term, "the blob".

To me, 'deep state' implies an illegal conspiracy against democracy. 'The blob' is a large organization that is hard to change, which describes every such organization. Ask an executive at a Fortune 500 company about blobs. The executive branch has the added complication that the CEO has limited powers and doesn't make the rules, Congress does. At work, you follow the boss's instructions. In the executive branch, you follow the Constitution first, then the laws made by the American people via Congress (accumulated over centuries), then the President's instructions - including instructions of prior presidents that haven't been changed.

Maybe 'deep state' was used before Trump, but the meaning has changed.
Of course, the context here is that every additional security measure is because a scammer has already used that method to hijack accounts or perpetuate fraud... which means that every succesful company with a similar market will either eventually follow the same trajectory or see its support and verification costs balloon into total unprofitability.

This is a good solution. That way, knowledge hoarding is often averted if the creator is willing to add info when it's fresh or lacking a procedure, and finder searches the docs before asking.

I really hate the antique-mindset, amateurish shops where they don't use DVCS, wikis, or configuration management. "Oh yea, only Jim knows how that works" is one signal of intense knowledge hoarding.

Let's take the AWS CLI as an example. Run "pip3 install awscli --upgrade --user" and you're done. Drop the "--upgrade --user" and you've installed it globally. Easy Peezy.

Maya has been getting worse. But a lot of studios have built a lot of “pipeline” (ie automation and software to move and manage large projects) around Maya and apparently the Blender API is crap somehow (because everyone keeps telling me it is?)

Gig economy counting as gainful employment coincides with that zero productivity year in 2011. Watering lawns and babysitting is not exactly the Hoover Dam. A job is quickly becoming a luxury.

There's also illegal immigration. Politicians no longer need to do good for others. Just dump in voters who are happy as long as you don't arrest them.

Then there's depopulation. Boomers left their prime earning years at that time. Now they're being taken by retirement homes which cost $9,000 a month which all goes overseas or squandered on junk with some rich guys name on it that will soon be abandoned. Or they go home, and their children and grandchildren get a front row seat at what's in store for them, a horrible agonizing death that awaits us all. Quite a sobering event that turns you into a contemplative monk for the rest of your life unless you're some psycho. Why is that happening?

You’re projecting your own interpretation of “deep state” onto a straw man and then tearing it down.

J. Edgar Hoover was a perfect example of what people are talking about with the deep state. You can claim that’s just “institutional inertia”, but it’s still some unelected official with massive power wielding it in nefarious ways.

Most Germans, on the other hand, would be surprised that insults are legal in many countries. Wikipedia has a map of this.[1]

There is another aspect regarding the legal situation in German that might be relevant to understand the difference to the US: The US constitution speeks only of the "freedom of speech", while the German consitution (Grundgesetz) goes much more into the detail:

(1) Every person shall have the right freely to express and disseminate his opinions in speech, writing and pictures and to inform himself without hindrance from generally accessible sources. Freedom of the press and freedom of reporting by means of broadcasts and films shall be guaranteed. There shall be no censorship.

(2) These rights shall find their limits in the provisions of general laws, in provisions for the protection of young persons and in the right to personal honour.

(3) Arts and sciences, research and teaching shall be free. The freedom of teaching shall not release any person from allegiance to the constitution.[2]

So the right to personal honour is directly acknowledged.

As an aside: "teaching" ("Lehre") refers to higher education only, but includes both, teaching in the narrower sense and learning. As a consequence a student at a German university has the right to learn as he or she seems fit and can only be forced to attend a course, if his or her physical presence is really necessary as there is no other way to learn a particular skill. So the presence at laboratory courses or courses focused on discussions can be made mandatory, but not at lectures. (The student must only attent the course exam, if there is one.) Isn't it interesting that a student in Germany has a constitutional right to be an autodidact?

This explanation is very poor. At their core countries have no feelings, there is no ill will or true adversary. There is a current interest for your people and economy. It is very much in Russia's interest to annex Ukraine, it has nothing to do with US bullying, etc. If Saudi Arabia were not a US ally the Iranian government would find no reason to really look at the US as a foe. Iran and Saudi Arabia have a balance of power to dominate the middle east and Saudi Arabia (with the help of the US) stands in the way of that, and that is why Russia helps Iran to counterbalance that. Historically Iran and Russia do not have alignment in their interests otherwise.

I suspect you see the world this way because you basically 'stand where you sit', but you have to look at it from the point of view of the other side and where people stand where they sit there too. I.e if you were born & raised & were wealthy/vested etc on the other side would your opinion flip. Your opinion should flip, and then of course with both opinions against each other it ends up becoming about having more power, having alliances and playing cards right.

I agree in that there needs to be some interaction between real-world objects and virtual ones to be considered more than a simple HUD.

My dad is 81, bricklayer by trade and had his own small construction business, he worked 6 days a week. The physical strength certainly helped him for a good while into his old age, but walking is becoming increasingly difficult (now using a walking stick, very slow). He also fell twice in the last few years.

In my research i found this clever stair-lift solution https://assistep.com
It's mechanical, and helps prevent falling, also encourages to further "workout" and contnue to walk up and down by himself. I contacted this company to see how expensive it is - definitely way more affordable than a chairlift and a more "active" solution.

But here is the bummer: He doesn't want it. Too stuborn, and just turns me down.

>Counting money is complicated.

Is it?

>When I deposit $1000 in the bank, then even if the bank loans out a portion of it, my account still has $1000, and I still act like I have $1000.

I...think I agree. Check my previous comment. The depositor "Me" has $1000. No negative sign, is there?

Maybe you meant to say something about the bank.

>When you deposit $1000 of real cash into a bank you exchange $1000 of central bank money, for $1000 of commercial bank money.

If you exchange $1000 in "blue" money for "pink" money, you've got $1000 more "pink" money, I guess. But you've got $1000 less "blue" money.

>When the bank loans out $1000 to someone else, they credit that person's account with $1000, creating $1000 of commercial bank money out of nothing.

"SomeoneElse" who got the loan has $1000, right.

It's the bank who doesn't have $1000. The $1000 deposit of "Me" plus the loan to "SomeoneElse" of $1000, means they have a total of $0.

The gas leak originated from the stove. The only thing I can think of where I might have had some involvement is bumping into the knob to turn on the gas flow.

Careful though - the phone GPS can be significantly worse than a watch. I don’t cycle, but run a lot (I average ~135 miles a month). Anytime I’m on a long run where I care to know what my actual distance or path was (like a marathon), I have to turn off the Bluetooth connection between my phone and watch. If I don’t, then the GPS in my phone is used. That GPS signal is susceptible to fluctuations based upon which tower is “visible” (A-GPS). I’ve had it happen where I go through tunnel and the phones GPS thinks I’ve magically run a mile in the opposite direction. Some of my Strava traces look like they are all scribbles. I’ve had this happen with multiple phones over the years.

Also, over the course of a marathon, with my phone GPS, the distance has been up to a mile off. For my last marathon, my watch (w/o Bluetooth on) was only 0.1 miles off.

I’m not sure how much of a problem this is for cycling, given the differences in speed and distance, but for running, it can be quite the problem.

Note: I have the cellular Apple Watch, but I don’t think it uses A-GPS.
