> I find the UK's road sign for "National Speed Limit Applies" to be surely one of the worst designed road signs in history.

No its not my friend.

Because it is only telling you something that you should already know if you have passed your Theory Test.

Namely that the National Speed Limit is the default state.

Anyone who has passed the Theory Test will know what the NSL is based on the road they are on and the vehicle they are driving. Its not difficult, you've only got to be able to tell the pretty darn obvious difference between a built-up area, single carriageway, dual carriageway and motorway (and whether a central reservation is present or not).

Which is why you only (typically) find NSL signs:

- in locations where the context may normally dictate otherwise (e.g. presence of street lights)
- where temporary limits are changing back to NSL (e.g. after motorway roadworks)

Don't overthink it. Its a lot easier to understand and a lot more sensible than you're making it out to be.
I used the exact same framing you did, less the twee-lecturer "So let's hear..." crap.
I can hear whether they were on or off, and whether they were tuned to a signal or not.

A video signal synchronized up has a very distinct profile, and people who can hear about 15 khz can hear the sync signals modulating the higher frequency component.

I could at one point, adjust horizontal and vertical hold to a stable signal eyes closed.

Some sets were very loud, and I could hear them rooms away. Walking The Halls in my primary school, I could walk by the classrooms and say they have a TV on oh, and nail it a hundred percent every time.
Yeah, thankfully Californians have no such opinions.

What do you sense about technology? Can you describe what you're worried we are creating? Obviously there are unintended negative effects, but I think it's not certain how they'll play out.
Judging by how petty an individual Musk is alone (openly going ballistic at the slightest critique not even of his person but merely his PR stunts [1]) I assume he would never put free speech first, or only if it's people and topics that are 100% decoupled from anything he does, says, or pump and dumps at the moment. And that doesn't leave much.

> The bill defines “low speed conveyances” in Colorado law. These are small profile, low-speed vehicles that people use for transportation and recreation, including bicycles and electric bicycles, electric scooters (not including mopeds), and wheelchairs.

I think including electric bicycles in this is unwise. In a typical commute, they average the same speeds as motorcycles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM8Xli2KTzI
First, I never said it was frivolous. I asked a question. It seems the temperature of the coffee is the reason. The other stuff you mentioned are outcomes and don't necessarily speak to the culpability portion that I was questioning.
Yes, of course, that’s what it’s like for the other side. Those people are all bad. We on the correct side don’t have that problem.
Yes, it would really help to have access to the whole story, not just the part that is favorable to one side of this dispute.

I was mesmerised how the Japanese train operators (and perhaps other similar workers) have to follow checklists where they physically point[0] at everything they are doing even when they are alone.

Now I'm wondering whether this approach actually works.

Honestly I think everyone involved is making good points and I don’t think it’s as obvious as Netlifx / Hulu want it to be. I think Comcast would get exactly nowhere arguing they shouldn’t have to pay the 5% fee if they switched their cable boxes to be “streaming boxes” that went over the internet and separated out the internet and content departments. And there becomes a point where all that digging is there to support a few supermassive video streaming services. And the last mile ISPs get put in a “we get charged because we have to dig but we only have to dig because of these streaming services.”

If you don’t think this tax should be levied at all then that’s all fine and dandy but given the tax I think Ohio has a much stronger case than “obviously wrong, dismissed.”

Why is it not a legitimate cause for firing that an employees can't fit in socially amongst the other employees and take part in company functions? Companies have all sort of annoying requirements and tasks employees must do, how is this one different? Isn't company culture a thing many find necessary to uphold? Maybe birthday parties are part of this company's culture.

One might say it's not necessary to the job, but is this true? Social events and employee camaraderie are arguably necessary to a well functioning workplace. I'm not even arguing that parties are necessary but that a company can decide for themselves if they are no? And that if someone is so uncomfortable taking part then perhaps they don't belong at the company.

Why is it a legitimate expectation that a company and its employees must accommodate your problems to such a degree?

>>If the concern is socioeconomic status: One could still edit from a library, for instance.

Just to be clear, your response to "disadvantaged people would likely have a hard time editing Wikipedia from an 'anon' IPs" is "take time and energy (finite resources that are in many cases more valuable than money) and travel somewhere to edit". This is...not a very good argument in your favor? Also, it makes the extremely bold assumption that the library (or whatever publicly available resource) is not IP banned itself because some vandal had the exact same thought.

>>I think it's important that there are still sites where people don't need an account to be able to participate.

Why? If this is important, why isn't it important for everyone? The point I, and other commenters have made, is that you shouldn't say "We care about a free and open internet" when what you mean is "We care about a free and open internet as long as nobody does anything we don't like and we're able to regulate it as we see fit".

These things are a binary, not a scale, despite what some people want to argue. When you start blanket bans that harm people who have done nothing wrong, you're taking a step towards authoritarian and away from pure openness. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" is pointedly saying "we are not prioritizing your needs" and that's what moderation is.

>>Given that you need to prevent abuse, how would you propose to keep things (more) open?

You're admitting defeat here, and showing how useless a word like "free" or "open" is. The site is not more or less open, it's open or closed for some. You being able to freely edit does nothing for my inability to freely edit. You can't average these things together and say "99% of people are free to do what they want" as if that was a meaningful statement for the people who can't. Moderation is antithetical to "free" or "open" speech. I'm for moderation, I just want people to stop pretending that you can have it both ways.
The argument ”all but one psychedelics researchers have taken psychedelics” is not particularly convincing; many other researchers have taken psychedelics, too. Certainly one wouldn’t expect e.g. liberal arts, sociology or organic chem majors and their cohorts to be completely naive to them.
no, downtime is going to happen sooner or later regardless of your own marketing because customers might suddenly decide to hire someone else or the project might be cancelled last minute etc.

the mindset of "I can only charge $60" is exactly the problem. you cannot sustain a living on that hourly rate on the west coast, not even at $100 or $150. do the math.
> Psychedelic enthusiasts can be even worse in this regard.

Oh yes, I've had a run in with a "psychedelic enthusiast", and this is so accurate. It was my girlfriend during my late 20s, a woman who was 12 years older, very into psychedelics, and pretty obnoxious about how beneficial they were. Of course, at the time I ate it up because I was kinda lost in life, and let her overcome my better judgement with her guru bullshit.

I'd previously only ever used marijuana, and had mostly negative experiences resulting in anxiety, so had mostly sworn off the idea of trying psychedelics until she came into my life. Long story short, I tried mushrooms once with her, fun for a bit, but then led into a crazy making spiral leading me to be convinced I'd never be the same.

I guess I was a glutton for punishment back then, because I also tried LSD with her twice, and it had pretty similar results. In fact the second trip shook me up in such a bad way that I think it took nearly a year to get the negative bits still remaining out of my head.

Of course her reaction after all this was that I was being too resistant and that I simply needed to have a "corrective experience". Fuck that! She seriously couldn't comprehend the fact that everyone reacts to psychedelics differently and that they might be quite dangerous for some people. Which seemed kinda crazy because she was actually highly intelligent, but possibly too arrogant to look outside her world. I seriously could have ended up in an institution if I had stayed with that woman (can you tell I'm venting a tad :) ).

I've later come to learn that I have a genetic mutation that reduces my ability to degrade dopamine in the prefrontal cortex by 75% (COMT met/met), leading to much higher baseline dopamine levels. After learning about this, it makes a ton of sense why I have such bad experiences with dopaminergic drugs like caffeine and Adderall (euphoria followed hours later by intense anxiety). Now I don't know how LSD and mushrooms impact the domaine system, but it does make me wonder if this genetic SNP, partially explains my propensity to anxiety/psychosis on these drugs. High baseline dopamine leads to hyperfocus, which is great for coding or other technical work, but terrible when you're stuck in a spiral of thinking you're going crazy and will never be the same.
Wow, my prediction is Musk will walk away, Twitter stock price will tank, and Twitter will be flooded with thousands of shareholder lawsuits (for breaching their fiduciary duty).
Everyone's in on the slap chop joke until the thing breaks on literally the second slap
The best description that I have heard that most users that I have spoke to agree on is that psychedelics have an aspect of "flattening" emotional significance of things by making any thought that you have just as "prominent" as another experience. The reduction of blood flow to the area of the brain that is responsible for parsing reality means that your thoughts become more prominent, making any thought of change or improvement just as impactful mentally as what you believe your reality is.

This in turn gives lasting perspectives in the form of "hey, I am able to think and feel about things differently and not locked into this pattern of thought", which could be the necessary catalyst for change.
At least you are honest and up front about your bias. Those of us who care about free speech see just what a slippery slope it is. Today you are ok with it because agree with it, but there may come a time where you don’t.

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Sure. But as a practical matter, if your plan is to hook it up to a Roku, an Amazon Fire, or an Apple TV, then what does it matter if it’s built in or not.

Besides, buy commercial panels. You’ll pay a premium for your premium needs and get a much more robust device in the process.
> It's suitable for (some) applications, but not for libraries, and a kernel falls on the "library" side of that divide.

I would disagree with that assertion: the kernel is a service that end user applications interact with through an API. Using anyhow in a Rust library that Rust applications use is a very bad idea. Using anyhow in the kernel might be a bad idea, but not for that stated reason.

> Linux has its own UUID infrastructure, so it seems weird to pull in a whole parallel implementation. At the very least you'd want to disable all the generation code, and it's unclear to me if the uuid crate supports that.

The uuid crate can be modified to support the kernel infrastructure as its backend. This would allow the same API to be available within the kernel and in the rest of the ecosystem. That's beneficial to everyone involved.
Reddit search has always been laughably bad - it is quite amazing that for the biggest and most popular forum on the internet they have not worked harder on this. Reddit should have the BEST search on the internet.

Censorship (automated or human or both) is not the same as spam filtering.

There might be some edge cases where some non-spam content gets caught in a spam filter.

But these should be two separate systems under different teams and leadership. And if your tweet was removed, you should know if this was antispam or censorship in order to craft an appeal effectively.
Millions of people use LSD every year today, in addition to a dozen other hallucinogens.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/americans-increas...

"In the late 1970s... 10 percent of high school seniors reported ever using LSD, compared with 6 percent today."

Ten percent isn't very much. Americans in the 60's and 70's were far more likely to support endless jail time for drug users than to be one themself.

Companies have to increase wages as people job hop to seek better opportunities.

Big companies love the free market, except when it means they have to pay more money to employees...

In fact Wehrmacht members were barred from NSDAP membership. I remember one case of a u boat commander that joined the navy to avoid NSDAP membership. He was later sentenced to death for defatism, despite intervention from senior Navy leadership. After that it took decades for him to be rehabilitated post WW2.

Calling all Germans, 33(39) - 45 Nazis is strong. The truth is as well, so, that the Wehrmacht supported, enabled and perpetrated war crimes and genocide. As an organization, not every individual soldier did so.

EDIT: A lot of the, especially young, officer corps was heavily Nazi influenced. Up to a third joined the NSDAP. In that case it is a clear sign of being a Nazi. As contrasted by practically forced NSDAP membership, e.g. teachers. That's one of the reasons de-Nazification was such a mess, but far from the only one.

That's Hunter S. Thompson on the 60s drug movement. I'm not saying it led to nothing but it certainly didn't lead where its members expected and its legacy is far from clear.

I think we should continue to study these drugs. I just think there's a lot of unwarranted optimism.
Another way to do this, that might be less stressful or painful, is to just spend a week out in nature.

We go four week long Outdoor Adventures, where nothing works except for AM radio late at night.

After a few days, hearing very significantly improves. On the last trip we took a Macbook, and watch the movie about 4 days in, and we're shocked at just how great that laptop sounded! It seems very loud and amazing, where in an ordinary City environment it's just normal acceptable sound.

Any of you that get a chance to try this really should, it's dramatic. And it makes me really appreciate the audio engineering that went into those devices. A lot of that engineering won't ever be heard by people for in urban environments, but it is there, the work was done, and the results are pretty fantastic.
> The issue with Kernel development is that it's a dying profession. Nobody is interested in it.

That's simply false. I'd love to work on the kernel. I have immense respect for the people who work on it. Only reason I haven't tried contributing code is I don't think I'm skilled enough.

This is a fascinating discussion, to which I have little to add, except this. Quoting the article (including the footnote):

> [I]f you carefully craft random data so that it does not contain a Dunning-Kruger effect, you will still find the effect. The reason turns out to be embarrassingly simple: the Dunning-Kruger effect has nothing to do with human psychology[1].

> [1]: The Dunning-Kruger effect tells us nothing about the people it purports to measure. But it does tell us about the psychology of social scientists, who apparently struggle with statistics.

It seems to me that despite rudely criticizing a broad swath of academics for their lack of statistical prowess, the author here is himself guilty of a cardinal statistical sin: accepting the null hypothesis.

The fact that data resemble a random simulation in which no effect exists does not disprove the existence of such an effect. In traditional statistical language, we might say such an effect is not statistically significant, but that is different from saying that the effect is absolutely and completely the result of a statistical artifact.

The nuance of statistics is never-ending.

That's literally the point of the quote and their statement, I think. Any specific thing can be convincingly shot down in a forum of relative experts like this one.

We don't know where it's going or how it'll play out. But we can feel that it is already bad and is going to get worse. Some day people will try to say "we didn't know" but that will be a lie. Some of us did and tried to convince y'all. But because we aren't able to convincingly predict the future in minute detail we've been ignored.
