> There are many, many such organizations. Just look around at political organizations of all stripes.

I'm referring to this: "We the people get together and decide what we want to do collectively".

To me, "we the people" means the population of the country, rather than a tiny subset who actually engage in political organization - I'm thinking (for starters) of something as simple as fine-grained surveys on various issues and policy proposals. Of course, most opinions are going to be pretty uninformed, but then whose fault is that? The population as it is, is a product of the system we've constructed to raise people in.

> That's just your assertion.

Is it a genuine point of contention that there is a substantial delta between what politicians promise and what they can be observed trying to achieve after election campaigning is over?

> It hasn't been my experience, and they can always be voted out of office.

So the saying goes. The system runtime certainly supports it, but the degree to which it is actually possible if one takes into consideration the given system state and historic behaviors makes it seem rather uncertain to me. Technically, what is and is not ~pragmatically/realistically possible is unknown.

> You can do a lot more than that, if you use the power you have been given in a democracy. Having worked on many elections, I can say that it amazes me how much power the few people doing the work have. To stand on the outside and say you are powerless is bizarre - like standing on the shore of the ocean and insisting there are no fish.

I can agree that people have some more power than they often think...but acting individually, how likely is it that one person can make significant change? Do we have substantial examples demonstrating it is possible, and few that demonstrate difficulty? And then also: how would our current state look plotted on an absolute scale of what is possible in the runtime, as opposed to what is possible in the system we've built within the runtime?
The frontend "stack" has become unnecessarily complicated in the last ~5 years.
Wouldn't patents protect a small software development company from having their product ripped off by one of the giants? Essentially force the giant to buy out the smaller developer?
Even that "excess" capacity was capped by what capacity still exists, so economic truths and results where demand exceeds supply still applies. And regulations basically mandate that power distributors/wholesalers must buy it if they need it and are able, no matter the cost.

They aren't allowed to make a judgment call that $7k is affordable but $8k is too costly, and just shut off power to their customers.

There were still govt effects limiting supply and mandating purchases, even at those prices.

And that's not an accident of policy; that's the intent, in artificially manipulating markets in support of agendas they can't outright mandate.

> Generally strong IP rules tend to favor the less wealthy, weaker IP rules tend to favor those with the most capital.

No. If you as a startup need to account for a significant amount of money to validate your entire company's activities for patent violations - including basic UI/UX improvements such as "one-click shopping" [1] - the situation becomes ridiculous and oppressive in itself.

Not to mention that a patent holder unwilling to license their patent can keep progress from society, such as in the infamous Qualcomm saga. Or, assuming you want to build an innovative, high-performant set-top box (which is incredibly easy to do so using something like a Raspberry Pi)... you need to deal with buying licenses for a bunch of video standard patents for that.

All of this is utter bullshit that only benefits the very rich and powerful, and stifles competition (and no, "free usage" exemptions don't count because you still have the fear of lawsuits above your head should your product be more successful than expected).

IMHO: As soon as you want anything to become a standard recognized by major international bodies, you should have to give up all the patents. Everything that is required to follow a government-mandated standard (which especially anything involving RF communication is) should be freely available to read and implement for everyone - looking at you, DIN.

Banks do not take money from other accounts to cover operating losses, lol, thats almost certainly several crimes. [citation needed].

> But banks still operate as described (and using some of their pool of assets to buy private insurance is functionally the same as just adjusting the balances of people it is compensating for losses and increasing risk to others by doing so, except it smooths things a bit over time at the expense of higher average cost.)

It's really not. Customer deposits are segregated from the operating accounts in accordance with applicable law. You're not suggesting they're taking payroll out of customer deposits are you?
I've bootstrapped Rust for RISC-V on FreeBSD, it's not that bad, the issues I faced were solely porting issues, not bootstrapping issues. I've certainly not had cross-compiling issues like Drew. The awful part about porting Rust is that you need Rust bindings for every type and function in your system's libc, which is fine if your OS+libc combination is already supported (though even then 32-bit and 64-bit need some separate implementation bits), but a real pain if your OS isn't yet supported. Rust on CHERI has the additional complexity of a poor design decision in the language that defines usize as a pointer-sized integer, conflating integers and pointers, rather than providing both size_t and uintptr_t equivalents like C has; see https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-usize-is-not-size-... for a discussion of this and ways to resolve it without breaking existing software on non-CHERI which, as you might expect, is to introduce a new uptr type for the rare cases when a usize holds a pointer not an offset/length/machine word-sized integer, allowing a usize to be used in its place on non-CHERI architectures (at least for existing editions) but not for CHERI architectures. Someone needs to do that engineering though and it's not a priority for us.
Interesting thing with that tool, it doesn't show any rise in the great lakes, I wonder if they would rise at all.

It's to increase adoption. Some people still remember migrating to coffeescript and away from it. It's in line with tsc accepting regular JS files, the degrees of strictness, things like that. Typescript is optimized to be adopted by the maximum number of people, which in turn increases its usefulness, the feedback they can get, their influence on JS. People are going to write bindings for popular libraries, even migrate them.

Some other people (like at my job) have some people use typescript, and others the generated code. It makes debugging and reasoning about code easier.

As for Dart, I'm not really convinced. The language seems to have the same philosophy as Go (incremental improvement over old technologies), and while for Go it works because Go is relatively "low level" (lower than Dart), for Dart it's just weird.
This isn't a memory tagging system at all and has capabilities far beyond that (pun intended), so I don't know why whatever other approaches like MTE are out in the wild are relevant.
I also can't find proof, but I think Go the language was previously essentially Limbo the language at Bell Labs in the Plan9 OS world, and when the team moved to Google they updated Limbo naming it Go.

It seems (from simonsarris comments) that GoJS was created in the Limbo naming era, and is itself an acronym.

This is basically the "our only desktop OS is a web browser" company's equivalent to asking everyone to rewrite their apps in UWP.

Which isn't too far from your desired outcome (notably, without relying on argument position for meaning). Although, I guess the argument that "curl is already installed on almost every server", sorta gets moot because I imagine it will take a while for most distros to move to the latest curl that will support --json/--jp
> two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for lunch

People often bring up this analogy as a criticism of democracy, but I have to ask "How would the outcome differ if the 3 members of that society abandoned voting?".

It's unreasonable to demand of democracy that it always bring about outcomes that are acceptable to all participants. At least in a democracy there's a chance that the sheep could debate the merits of vegetarianism and potentially win the vote of one of the wolves.
Welcome to personalized search results, and the phenomena known as "filter bubbles".

This is what happens when a search engine forsakes it's original mission (providing an index of the whole indexable net while elevating certain results based on a Boolean query), and starts leveraging hidden state to omit what "isn't relevant" by their estimate.

Welcome to the Internet brought to you by "helpful people that think they know more about what you're searching for than you do".

It's not, if you plan it right. Learn about single table design for DynamoDB before you start. There are a lot of good resources from Amazon and the community.

Here is a very accessible video from the community:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnDKD_Zv0og

Here is a video from Rick Houlihan, a senior leader from AWS who basically helps companies convert to single table design:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYy8X8t4MB8

And a good book on the topic:

https://www.dynamodbbook.com

If you use single table design, you can turn on all of the auto-tuning features of DynamoDB and they will work as expected and get better and more efficient with more data.

Some people worry that this breaks the cardinal rule of microservices: One database per service. But the actual rule is never have one service directly access the data of another, always use the API. So as long as your services use different keyspaces and never access each other's data, it can still work (but does require extra discipline).

Internal users are a captive audience. One of the key functions of middle management in a tech company is to enforce that internal platforms are used wherever applicable, no matter how bad they are or how much internal customers don’t want to, to promote consistency and synergy across the org. Open source is a more competitive landscape.
While they may share a few similarities, DeepStack was inspired by John Olafenwa's idea to develop a unified, cross-platform AI engine that abstracts the process of using technical intensive tools and process in creating and consuming AI models, yet providing almost same level of flexibility for customizing AI for domain specific use cases, mostly in the realm of Deep Neural Network models.

The DNMT3 mutation, similarly, seems to have appeared from the 8th week of gestation (!) out to about the age of 8."

Having a fireplace, barbecue, outdoor fire pit, or going camping with a campfire, are all situations where people intentionally choose to engage in activities that cause them to inhale smoke. Those activities might contribute to a healthy lifestyle in the whole. Similarly, social activities that include alcohol consumption can be analyzed as a whole, without the pretense that they can always be made 'dry'. There is no 'dry' wine tasting.

It's not exaggerated. Your claim of "no amount of driving is safe" is also not hyperbolic, it's real. You drive, you're at risk.

What's going on here is that the previous conclusion was not "no level of alcohol consumption is safe." The previous conclusion was "some alcohol is good for your heart." All this new conclusion says is that this is no longer the case.

Nobody lives their life off the mantra "no amount of driving is safe"... That would be crazy but it would be entirely wrong to say that, "some amount of driving improves your life expectancy" when this is clearly not the case.

Hence the need for the WHF to take an official stance on this. It's a data driven conclusion, but you of course need to be the judge about what you need to do with that conclusion.
I have not received an email from Google about the changes. It lead me to think that it is for accounts that have more than 1 active user. I have a G Suite Legacy with 1 account only.

Unfortunately reality is more complex than we would like it to be. You're correct that a proper capacity market would likely have mitigated much of this issue, on the flip side capacity markets in other regions/grids are a major driver behind continued coal power generation as coal is the lowest cost type of generation for capacity markets. The lack of a capacity market in Texas is not motivated by environmental concerns, but nonetheless if such a capacity market were created in Texas it would likely be detrimental to the environment given the current overall incentive structure.

The bigger issue is that ERCOT /has/ made a regulation saying generators need to weatherize, which they have done so and been inspected and verified. But ERCOT can't control the natural gas producers, and they have thus far mostly refused to weatherize their wellheads, and therefore we may once again find that we can't drive peaker generation high enough to meet demand due to inadequate natural gas supply pressure. The oil & gas industry and electrical utilities are regulated independently in Texas, although they are often considered to be the same as "the energy sector", and so there is definitely more that can/should be done here.

I guess we'll see how it pans out. With better weatherized renewables, it's likely we won't see this situation re-occur. There was plenty of wind blowing during the crisis, so had the wind turbines been properly weatherized we wouldn't have needed as much peaker capacity anyway.
Yeah, OP is spot on. It's not really EVERYONE either, but I'd say the majority of people I know really like some version of the "doctors don't know what they're talking about" argument. Things are weird now with COVID and the politics around this stuff.

You'll probably see more of these attitudes on the right, but the idea that doctors don't know what they're talking about, and change their recommendations all the time is incredibly popular. So it's not like 100% of people, or probably not even 95%, but I think it's more than eg. 30-40%.
