These are fun, but they're pretty dense and hard to read (even for someone with good vision, native high English literacy, and no known major cognitive deficits).

The current post title is "Sex and gender education banned for K-3 in Florida," though that doesn't seem accurate. According to the article:

> The bill prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through 3rd grade...

I'd imagine whatever has been traditionally included in "sex education" in these grades (aka "Family Life", meaning "how babies are made"), would still be allowed.

FWIW, the actual OP title is "Governor Ron DeSantis Signs Historic Bill to Protect Parental Rights in Education."
You have as much support for that claim as I do for this one: you are wumao.
Given that it was in a paragraph where they describe what exactly they are doing to increase pilot supply, it does not seem out of place.
Asset price inflation is more or less eating the children. None of the younger people can afford to live on their own which means keeping the same production requires civilization destroying high rates of immigration (and even that isn't really working.)

It doesn't really matter now, it's way way too late to fix but these two things will more or less end the US, it's how most of the large Western empires ended.
According to the website, banned up to 3rd grade, which apparently is 8-9 years old. I do not recall being interested on knowing anything about sex until 11-12.

Let children be children. Also, even if one uses the LGBTQIA+ classification for older children, where "A" stands for "asexual", would sexual education not discriminate against the "A" part, who will feel uncomfortable?

I think that's a significant step up from your earlier guess at "maintaining" the software. There's a big spectrum between "project has been shut down" and "round the clock SLA".

The problem with this strategy is that there are only a small number of people willing to pay 10x more for first class. If every seat was first class airlines would have to charge much less for the first class experience and so the formerly first class passengers would be spending much less.

Yes, if HI becomes universal healthcare in the U.S., like most developed nations, then funding will be through a variety of means, inevitably involving income tax.

That said, depending on the splits, it's much more probable that the cost to "employee salaries" will be less than their typical OOP expenses anyways.
I mean, maybe because those people face discrimination and bigotry basically everywhere they go and having a program to specifically support them will help bring in more new staff, particularly during a time when staffing is difficult? It says it at the beginning of the sentence: "To bring new pilots into our ranks"

Further, it's not "political" to make people feel welcome at your organization. It's just being a good person.

Overhead wires would involve a significant infrastructure investment. Not too much of an issue with more densely populated areas like Europe - and countries like France and Japan already do use overhead wires - but it is not cost competitive in sparse locations like much of North America.

It's true that it's contingent on a carbon-free source of hydrogen. But if something like thermochemical hydrogen production through nuclear [1] or solar takes off, hydrogen fuel represents an energy-dense fuel that could be used in lieu of fossil fuels in many applications.

GNAT is a frontend (written in Ada yes) to GCC which might be one of the strangest pieces of C++ code in this world. And don't go there with AdaCore's SPARK examiner/prover implementation either because it's mostly an Ada frontend to Why3 (I'm simplifying) and you don't want to know what's behind Z3, CVC4 and Altergo. I'm a huge fan of SMT tech but I'm glad I don't have to open the hood.

These tools are enablers. Would it be nice to have an all-Ada compiler? Well, no! I want most of the gcc engineers to work for me! As long as the gcc backend improves, I get more perf! As long as SMT tools improve I get faster automated proof of contracts, or automated proof of far more complex contracts!
What would be the best price, and how would you get it there?
I don't know how it compares, but many of the retro computer channels on Youtube (Such as Adrians Digital Basement) use and speak highly of the RetroTink 2X($130) or 5X($300) pro:

The energy grid is a prime example of why carbon offset do not work, and in some cases, actually create perverse incentives.

For the last decade or so the major strategy has been carbon neutral energy grid by using the logic that if the total exports of green energy surpasses the consumption of fossil fuel energy then the net sum is positive. The assumption is that the export will displace fossil fuel energy. The result is that under this plan fossil fuel plants can continue to operate since its more profitable to export green energy than shutting down fossil fuel plants, and since nations need large capacity in transitions lines to do exports they can also increase imports. More and longer life time of existing fossil fuel plants, and increased consumption of imported fossil fuel generated energy, while politicians can claim that the grid is green.

The strategy share much of the articles criticisms of carbon offset. The assumption that the exported energy will create avoided emissions is taken as a fact rather than a theory, with poor evaluation of the quality. If Everyone Did It, the strategy wouldn't work. Everyone can't just export massive amount of green energy while continuing burning more fossil fuels. Someone somewhere need to actually stop burning fossil fuel for emissions to go down. And like the article noticed, the market forces do not align to encourage people to stop emitting carbon.

I am paying about $450 per person per month, and I thought it was the best plan listed from the provider. As of this morning's doctor visit, however, I do agree - much is broken!
> require massively expensive carbon guzzling infrastructure when not at grade

If you think that building rail viaducts and rail grade separations are carbon expensive, wait till you learn about the carbon used for roadway viaducts and roadway grade separations.

You can argue that rails usually run on much more consistent of a grade than roadways but that's only to decrease the amount of acceleration that's required by train cars and to increase top speeds. Freight rail is a special case because freight companies try to avoid as much wear-and-tear on their train cars as feasible within their delivery windows, unlike passenger rail which necessarily cares more about speed and less about wear-and-tear.
That's a bit of a reductionist way of looking at any sort of learning; I'm not sure how it's helpful to use memorize/interpret in terms of distinguishing what language models do compared to other types of learning.

I might be missing the point though?
Ask HN: Set up different email address for 'meaningful' personal correspondence?
I was reading Jay Caspian King in the New York Times today ("Email Is Slow and Creates Distance. That’s Why It’s Great")[1]. The piece is about when email was used more often for lengthy personal correspondence (i.e., writing 'letters'). I came across this paragraph:

"""
I have one piece of advice for anyone who wants to return to the old days of email: Set up a separate account for all of your lengthy correspondences and check it about once every two or three days. This, more or less, is the relationship I have with the emails I receive from the readers of this newsletter. As I mentioned in last week’s edition, my reader email address has resulted in dozens of meaningful exchanges, the sort of stuff I rarely find on social media

Nope but if I did it still wouldn't make the point. I've bought Gold from dealers who will tell you it's going to the moon straight to your face, doesn't make it an investment contract. Ferrari dealer might tell you this model is going to be a classic worth 10x in 20 years, doesn't make it an investment contract. Real estate agent will tell you to your face that this home will appreciate 20% in 5 years, doesn't make it an investment contract.

If all you had to do was say this thing will be more valuable in the future then half the commerce in the US would count as an investment contract.

In my view, it's mercenary if you're exploiting a power or trust relationship. In the case of exit interviews, if businesses want to benefit from access to that kind of information, they can lobby for statutory protections for workers who disclose it. Or, they
The OP probably didn't spend much time with macOS. Here is a more serious rant with macOS:

1. The Spotlight program will randomly consume 100% of your CPU while you are doing actual work.

2. The iCloud integration will decide to disappear your desktop/document folders when you most need them, and nobody understand how that thing works.

3. macOS safety features not allowing you to install some software. Worse, it doesn't give you a hint that it is the responsible party.

4. macOS parental control blocks randomly your localhost, failing some requests. Spend 6-10 hours investigating to find out the real culprit. Good luck deactivating that.

And these are just on the top of my head and I hadn't used macOS in the last two years. I can't imagine what a cluster-fff it must be right now with all the crap they have been adding.
Self-defence has nothing to do with Russias invasion. This was not a war for survival but a war for subjugation.

Nobody outside of ex-Soviet Union countrys hated Russians before the war.

If you really want to invoke and analogue from US history then the only example that comes to my mind is the US war of independence and I'm pretty sure on which side of that fight US would like to be.
My caution: I worked for a $megacorp that had retained numerous outside counsel firms and had over a floor in the HQ skyscraper dedicated to in-house lawyers.

If they felt like making an example of a person, they could (and likely would) litigate you into the ground. I honestly don't know if your present/past employers would or wouldn't do that, but it's a nontrivial risk and if it occurred you would be in one heck of a tough spot.

I'm not sure what I'd do, tbh. Without a really good story ("My relative had an exotic disease named after her and I needed to raise cash for an experimental treatment only available in Gstaad during a full moon."), you not just risk legal action, but also risk leaving a bad taste in someone important's mouth ("Will hashxyz two-time me/my investment, as well?").

Is it possible to find someone else to be the point person, while you hang back for the initial phase(s)? If it comes out after you've already got momentum, things may turn out alright. However, as you know, it's a dice roll.

And yet US airlines (United/American/Delta/Southwest/Alaska/JetBlue) are barely profitable, if not losing money many years.

They're right. Current inflation is not a result net tax of spending policy. Current inflation is the result of sabotaging the supply chain (due to Covid, not saying it wasn't justified) + Russia attacking Ukraine ...

That doesn't really change the reaction central banks/MMT/all of finance should have. It doesn't matter what causes inflation to start rising. It only matters that we don't get it feeding back on itself: we must have inflation ... without raises (because demand for goods needs to go down).

You're of course right that it'll be politically toxic in the extreme. So they will try everything in their power to avoid doing that.

I would say something like it comes down to a fundamental distrust of our society and its various institutions of power combined with the fact that despite this distrust _people_ are being made to go along with something they don't believe in.

But ya, _people_ are just uninformed and building a narrative that isn't there.

Even if the narratives are inherently false, can't we at least consider why the mistrust is present instead of essentially accusing _people_ of a lack of logic and borderline calling _people_ crazy?
I haven't used the folder option, but but search seems to have worked well enough for me. I believe the client at least is open source. (That is, when updating on Arch-based Linux, it's going through a JavaScript-based build process. Should all be there somewhere.)

Their selling feature (to me) is the privacy focus, because end to end encryption is the default, and a very rare one among other note apps I've taken a look at.

Sync works well, and is one way I use the app, even when I have other things like org-mode in play on some devices. It is typically quite handy to just paste something on my Linux desktop, and copy-paste on my iPhone to send somewhere iOS-specific.
Ok, so let's say there is a circumstance and a process by which they obtain justification from a judge, in the form of a warrant.

Then they execute the warrant on the wrong address.

Why should a cop enjoy immunity for an unjustified felony trespass and property destruction just because they were justified at another address? That's the kind of problem we have now. It's not that cops can't get a warrant for what they do. It's that they are not punished for the stuff they do without a warrant, that you and I would (and rightly should) be punished for.

It's more just an advancement on English really. Gendered terms aren't really useful. Especially with most written English being online now where no gender is known, it just becomes natural to use a non gendered term in all cases.
> It isn't like people were relying on business then business owners got greedy.

Do you actually believe that? That all these business owners were running their factories out of the goodness of their hearts and that they only stopped because the government took all the money they had to give out as charity?

If that is the case why do we see ultra profitable businesses returning to this form instead of trying to carve out any section of their work base that they can, ex. The FAANGs turning most job positions into contractor filled roles like the janitorial staff?

Just did some doodling in OsmAnd, connecting a few cities big enough that I've heard the name (at least I'm presuming that's why I know their name).

https://snipboard.io/0aunhF.jpg

You can do Sacramento–San Francisco–San Jose–Los Angeles–Las Vegas–Salty Lake City–Reno–Sacramento (round trip) in 2500km as the crow flies, with as longest stretch 700km (SLS–Reno) and an average of 300km (of course you can then branch off and make lower-speed connections to towns in between). Checking inhabitants on Wikipedia for a few real quick, it seems they're bigger in my imagination (or in movies perhaps) than in reality, e.g. Reno is only like 200k inhabitants, but at least to/from, say, Los Angeles, which is a small country in itself from my Beneluxian perspective, there has to be travel demand. Or between SF and SJ, they're so close and there's other stops you can make in between. Hard to retrofit into a city if there's no existing train or metro that can at least pave the way to the edge of town, but otherwise it's hard to imagine it wouldn't earn itself back in a handful of years if it doesn't exist yet.

Across a continent east-to-west is obviously less practical, same with any other continent, but it looks to me like connecting big cities that are similarly nearby as European big cities isn't the problem. It's probably more about everyone needing a car anyway, extremely low fuel prices, public transport is deemed for peasants, no good walking/cycling/bus options to/from stations, that sort of issues (it's a thing here as well, a rich German has a lot of trouble getting into a bus when they can drive something fancy instead—of course I'm generalizing and this doesn't apply to every German with money).
How is this Apple UX specific? Windows UX and Linux UX work the same way.

I'd argue a lot of power user feature are more accessible on macOS than on Windows. The shortcuts and gestures for macOS can be found in the system settings and you can change the shortcuts. How are you supposed to find them on Windows?

I think people see macOS as more intuitive because it doesn't offer as much customization and is relatively consistent compared to Windows. Also it doesn't have as many nested menus. The system settings on macOS go maybe three levels deep while on Windows you can go at least 5 or six levels deep if not more. Now guess which one will feel more intuitive?

The downside is you have to install some third-party tools if you want some features. But I prefer that to a lot of bloat.

Solar panels have a very limited life span. Damage isn't the only concern by far. Their output drops proportional to their age.
A cat's whiskers can detect very minute air movements. Even without whiskers, a human face can feel slight puffs of air at tiny speeds, speeds that falling objects hit within inches. Wind alone should give the cat enough directional information within milliseconds. Whether it can adjust its body position in time is a different issue. It certainly knows in which direction it is falling practically instantly.

Cats also have memory. They remember in which direction gravity was pulling them before the fall. Absent every other sensation that memory should be enough to get the process going even absent new sensations.
I write software (usually) and technical manuals (sometimes) for a living. I started out doing both of those things at Apple in the late 1980s.

I spent 10 years at Apple and then six years at a startup that was acquired by Cisco.

Then I developed a chronic illness that took me out of the workforce and bankrupted me.

After getting a diagnosis (after two years of trying) and adjusting to my new reality, I got my health under control, starting working again--mostly as a consultant--and gradually reconstructed my life to fit the new circumstances.

I've been working as a consultant for about sixteen years now, and life is good. I like my work. I live alone except for my elderly mother. My children are grown and our relationship is good. In my spare time I write stories and songs and software and draw pictures. Despite my health-related bankruptcy lo, these many years ago, I am now rich, not in the sense of owning a lot of capital, but in the sense of having a good and satisfying life and expenses that are less than my income.

I've done a bunch of work that I find interesting. Over the past couple of years, it's been helping an engineering company with software development, AI, and product development. The work is interesting and my colleagues are congenial.

Am I living the dream? Yes, I think so. At least I'm living a modest, reality-adjusted old man's version of the dream, and I'm pretty happy with it. I expect to keep doing it as long as possible, until nobody wants my help anymore or I fall over.
