> And idk what you’re referring to regarding “vulnerable”?

Not OP but worked in the industry and enjoying a casino visit once in a while: People left so far behind by society that they see their only hope of escaping poverty in gambling. Or people with issues (poverty, domestic violence, PTSD, ...) who don't have access to other outlets for their frustrations. Lotteries and gambling are called "taxes on the poor and stupid" for a reason!

> Vulnerable to addiction? Alcohol is addictive and bars are legal.

Yes, but you usually can't drink away your life savings in one night out (expensive whisky, wine and strip club champagne aside). You'll pass out before being able to spend more than 200$ in most bars. With gambling, it's scary how fast you can win and especially lose a lot of money - I watched someone at a roulette wheel winning 35k $ in one round (bet a grand on a single number), and lose that and more the next ten minutes.
Gold makes up a tiny fraction of the total reserves.

Yes, but it will be large, ~40mb zipped. Net6 release broke trimming (tree shaking) with entity framework at least which caused an app of mine to balloon quite a bit.

Native AOT is on the roadmap for net7 which is good but very minimal support. For instance asp.net mvc is a non-goal (https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/61231), so probably another 3 or 4 years before it's well supported.
Someone I know went to a college where the final exam was 100% of the grade, in most courses. You could retake it as many times as you want, but only if you scored below 70% (presumably to limit the amount of retakes). The result was that if people weren't feeling confident on the test day, they would recycle their test (not hand it in), thereby receiving a zero and guaranteeing the ability to retake.

Designing systems of incentives is hard.

That said, several of the mentioned problems seem like they have solutioms.

- Excessive detail: keep both or several sets of instructions. The detailed version is authoritative in the case of a dispute by the student, but as long as they don't dispute, it's fine if they follow the spirit of the instructions.

- Deadlines: Give X "extension tokens" per semester, which allow students to submit one day late, no questions asked. Max 2 tokens per assignment (48h extension). My undergrad CS department did this and it was great.

I would guess the latter would work well for regrades as well. A generous but bounded number of regrade tokens. You could even do something like make unused tokens worth 1 bonus % on the final exam, if you want to further disincentive abuse.
And unfortunately sometimes people grow up with parents who are quite lacking, then themselves fall into the same patterns, and think, "Oh, now I get it," while taking away exactly the wrong lesson. I know people who grew up in an abusive household, then eventually went on to have kids, and different siblings from that same family ended up going in completely different directions, from carrying on many of their parents' hated behaviours on one side, to being excessively permissive on the other. (And one ended up being a great parent, having put serious thought into their childhood and what they wanted to do differently.)

No point comparing like for like. The end game is a stabile balanced grid. If that is fulfilled by 100% intermittent or 100% deterministically dispatchable does not affect anything in regards to the end user. All they want is reliably the cheapest power at the time of consumption.
Global nuclear special operation.
Grid solar is statistically significantly safer than Nuclear. Climbing on rooftops can be dangerous, but solar is much better in a dessert than on top of a roof.

Nuclear takes longer, is more expensive, has lower ROI, and higher risks. Solar has a lower capacity factor, but having 1/3 the availability at 1/15th the cost is a net win. Especially as we need vastly more power in the daytime and idling Nuclear is really expensive.

Currently 3% of global electricity comes from Solar and 16% from hydro with Nuclear only proving 10%. Scaling Nuclear to a significantly on a global scale take not just massive construction and new regulations, but also training etc, we simply don’t have the time.

I think this means everyone will always refer the detailed version. Especially if this is stated up front. Nobody wants to be fucked if the _do_ legitimately need to dispute.

When people mention US aggression the first gulf war is never really one of them. I think most people still consider it pretty justified. I'm sure their motive was more about the oil but Iraq totally started it.

It also didn't leave a power vacuum in the country afterwards that allowed a worse enemy to grow (Like Isis in Iraq, the Taliban's return in Afghanistan). Civilian casualties were also an order of magnitude lower. The local population was better off with the intervention than if it hadn't taken place.

PS I don't despise Americans at all! Although I was opposed to the wars in Iraq (2003) and Afghanistan and my own country's involvement in them. However I don't blame the American people for it, same way I don't blame the Russian people for Ukraine.

These wars are orchestrated by interests so far above the heads of common people that they really have no control over it.
Oral exams sound fantastic. Unfortunately they don’t scale. Sounds difficult for a class of 30 let alone 300.
NY defines a resident as someone that has spent at least 30 days in the state (particularly someone that has been living in the state before).

So residence in the literal word sense is moot. If you travel there enough, regardless of where your official house is located....for tax purposes , NY bureaucrats will consider you a resident of NYS.

Now keep in mind, as mentioned earlier, if you go to an out-of-network provider, and get billed for the balance of what that provider charges and your insurance won't cover, that is now between you and the provider because the insurance claim is technically complete.

This is why in some cases you may want to redline the financial responsibility statement and specify you will pay up to a set amount over what your insurer disburses. Technically, the provider can come back and grumble, but if you absolutely cannot afford to get nailed with a notorious "surprise" medical bill, that's a much more "good faith" way to approach the transaction.

It sucks... I know.
Maybe full on EF/EFCore is better, but I know with basic Linq to Sql I often needed to check the generated SQL because sometimes it was non-intuitive how to get it to generate the simplest form possible (my biggest example was to do a 3 part join I had to list the tables backwards from the way I expected, doing the other way lead to a weird bunch of subselects, though note this is also in Framework so maybe they simply fixed the SQL compiler in Core).

You're playing a very dangerous game, even if wartime changes the calculus. Though what you're saying about judgement is true, all of the worst cases of authoritarian repression were similarly justified. "We can't allow capitalist propaganda, we're facing an existential threat/they'll sabotage us", "we can't allow jewish propaganda, we're facing an existential threat/they'll destroy the race", "we can't allow communist propaganda, we're facing an existential threat/they'll destroy our freedom", etc. Viewing information as munition rather than a raw resource meant to be democratically parsed is something all repressive systems share in common.

What distinguishes our society is our ability to self correct and our decentralized method of truth discovery. That can and does get used against us, as will our hypocrisy if we alter our approach. The solution to abuse of that decentralization is not to bureaucratize truth and create a mechanism for centralized information control, however well intended or carefully crafted to attempt balance. The system level solution is to make sure that those speaking the truth within our systems are protected and discovered. The societal level solution is to make sure that those people have enough credibility and leadership capital to be listened to and take that responsibility seriously.

Our major news organizations have been burning their credibility and leadership capital for at least a decade. The willingness of people to defer to random online youtube personalities over more established sources is a failure of those established sources. That loss of credibility cannot be solved by blocking worse sources. Those more established sources need to be more honest, engage in more long form discussion and less narrative crafting, and most importantly, speak with more humility and without patronizing the masses that are falling for the propaganda. If the only people genuinely acknowledging certain grievances and speaking to an audience like equals are bad actors or influenced by bad actors, those falling for propaganda have no reason to switch sources.

That's not to say there aren't other more immediately actionable solutions to online chaos and disinformation. From the technical side, there should be less algorithmic emotional hijacking/feed manipulation. If this industry hadn't pursued click maximization so aggressively and took viewpoint diversity more seriously as an essential design goal these platforms would be much more difficult to take advantage of by propagandists. I understand why things evolved as they did and understand a lot of people have been and are trying very hard to promote societal health, but there's a certain culture of arrogance and desire to tweak human behavior that's won out over a culture of viewpoint diversity that I think would have much more effectively inoculated people against the kind of destructive propaganda state actors we're seeing now.

They are certainly bad for the part of the community who have issues with addiction. As is alcohol and bars. I am not convinced that the misery that these people experience is offset by anything positive provided by casinos or bars.
It's funny you say that because in Los Angeles, mall culture is MASSIVE. Malls aren't stagnant. They are high-end and a lot of fun. Kids go there to hang out and adults go there to shop. I love it and it's sad it didn't take in other areas.
It's funny, because this evolutionary algorithm is actually just peer review. Submit some work, it gets sent back with comments and corrections, authors change their work to reflect feedback and repeat until the result is published. This is what happens when people try to publish a paper in a journal, when people try to get their pull request accepted. Maybe these students didn't learn the material but I'm sure they learned this process.

"The next biggest thing to become too cheap to meter is cryptocurrency transactions. Different layers are being built with lower and lower transaction fees. The next logical step is zero."

Ethereum has similar transaction fee problems.
It's a matter of probability like everything in life.
A good parent can lead to good outcomes, say, 60% of the time. A bad parent, 20% of the time. The numbers are random, but that's the idea. In retrospect, the vast majority of parents I knew when I was a kid were "bad," not in the sense of abusive, but in the sense of having no idea. They didn't have any clue about their own lives, how many could they have about their children?

They didn't even want to inquire and then decide what was best for their children. Too many parents are given a pass because some sort of "sacred virtue" is assigned to parenting and any mistake that does not include beating their children is somehow forgiven or given a pass.

The "they did the best they could" is a cop-out: did they do the best they could given their laziness, poor impulse control, vision that doesn't go beyond the fence of their backyard?

For example, I was an excellent student, the best in the school, in terms of awards and recognition. Not Einstein, mind you, but someone they should have identified as very talented from a scholastic/intellectual standpoint. My parents never saw this in me, for some reason, because now, I would immediately identify as very talented someone who did as well as I did.
My parents never hit me or told me I was stupid or anything like that. They simply acknowledged that I was a good student and that was it. If they had said, this woman is talented, we need to support her, find her mentors, send her to the best universities, I have little doubt that I would have been very successful.

I was successful anyway, after traveling a winding and long road, but my path to professional and financial success could have been (these are my a priori odds) much easier and faster.

Now, you might say, if they had acted differently, maybe you wouldn't be here, etc., which is a very defeatist way of thinking. Their process was wrong and for no other reason than their "intellectual laziness".
I accidentally did that once. Moved somewhere for half a year on a tourist visa, kept working remote for my employer in Germany. I simply did not realize there was a legal issue there.

The vast majority of tourist visas don’t allow you to work at all, so it’s not only "stay too long"
Get real, man. The whole post is premised with "these are the first things you learn on the job when you try and innovate the classroom." I'll repeat myself again saying that any educator who actually is going to try and change parts of the protocols, procedures and practices for the better (rather than just say it can't be done every-time an idea crosses their path) are either going to learn the hard way and waste time, or take into account posts and experiences like this blog post lays out and not waste time trying what's been proven to fail.

Your argument, if it has any relevance to what I wrote, is that these teachers shouldn't innovate because they don't have experience teaching. Okay, well you can spend twenty years running a classroom in all the old ways you like, and you still won't have gained much valuable experience when it comes to new procedures, considering you haven't tried any. When it comes to innovating or experimenting, the most valuable experiences are those related to attempts at innovation and experimentation, so its quite obvious the opening moves and results to those attempts are invaluable to anyone trying to change things.

And yes, like it or not, people sharing their wisdom like in this blog post will make new teachers in general much wiser than the generation of teachers the author was in when they first started - that's the point of sharing knowledge graciously. Teachers, new or old, who have first hand experience or who take writing like this to heart absolutely are better equipped to innovate the classroom than those who have not. The experience only mantra is ironically enough antithetical to pedagogy in general.

The chaos was inevitable, it happens ever time and in every society, specially after 70 years of one brutal regime. I was expecting even worse ( and it was bad ).

And after a certain period of suffering and unrest, people just want "stability" and that's when any well-intention-ed politician in a country with 5min of democracy experience don't stand a change against the quintessential competent strongman savior of the once-great empire.

The problems and solutions for Russia are inside, but I don't see how that society after 70 years + 20 under alternate realities can change to actually modern and democratic ( which is very different from being Americanized ).

There are real practical problems with gold and changing economies. What happens when your population goes up - you need more gold. Or economic growth. Similarly if gold is discovered like Spain's Latin American winnings it causes inflation.

Many people in Latin America totally do this about every living native language which is not Spanish. I'd say the EU is the odd case rather than China here.
Without significantly more information, it doesn't really point out nuclear being uneconomical. It points out artificial roadblocks, regulatory and otherwise, imposed on nuclear generation that aren't imposed on other forms of generation.

Other forms of generation that require GHG-emitting backup generation.
The problem is when water evaporates and come as a rain, it is distributed. And, we need large amount of fresh water in one area. Additionally, you are not considering the time closed loop system takes to replenish the water source.

I agree with your last point. However, I think they still can filter and make it harmless, but we know there is no incentive to do that and the cost is high.
This was one of the early sites I remember visiting as a kid in the 1990s. It had a good amount of resources for learning a lot of things, just for free.

Yeltsin the predecessor was also corrupt. To protect himself when he left office, he helped Putin get into power when he resigned. Putin himself was involved in corruption in the city level in St Petersburg with the help of the mayor. Putin in turn granted Yeltsin protection from prosecutions and also covered his tracks of the corruption he was involved in St Petersburg.

That follows if you are playing Sim-City, or I suppose if you think giving the government absolute control over energy production and you want to leave the market completely out of it. I'm just talking the world we live in.

To answer more directly though, yeah the power is the same cost. Perhaps when renewable penetration into the energy market is saturated, there will be a greater demand for base load at all those times renewables aren't producing at peak, and that will be reflected in those nuclear MWHs becoming very profitable even at a higher unit cost.
NATO was formed to defend against Russia. All letting Russia join NATO would do is make it very confusing for NATO to respond if Russia attacked another member. It's already been pushed to its limit by the war in Syria. Russia joining NATO would probably result in the agreement disintegrating entirely.
Huh.
Ya know what? I'm going to go look through some paperwork to see if I can find regular omissions of that sort, because now that you mention it, that seems a rather glaring omission if true.

> encrypted SNI didnt take off

Says who? I think your data is very old considering that ECH replaced ESNI 2 years ago. IIRC it has ~50% adoption, same as TLS 1.3. Just about every company that cares about security supported ECH for years.

Moreover, someone has to move first. If DoH wasn’t widely deployed you’d be complaining that ECH is useless because DNS is unencrypted.
