Flattening economic inequality should probably not happen at the level of individual places where people spend money, but rather as a general principle across all of society. Most of the economic thought around capitalism assumes that actors have roughly equivalent economic power, in order to get the most benefits of effective capital allocation. E.g. If only a few, select people are allowed to launch new firms because they were born into the right amount of wealth, then we are greatly limiting our ability to improve the economy.

So instead these sorts of equalizations should happen with high progressive taxation and redistribution through something like UBI. In particular, taxing economic rents is something that economists of all political stripes agree is good. And many vast individual fortunes are built on economic rents rather than productive economic activity.

> LHC have absorbed a disproportionate share of these scare resources

As opposed to? This sentiment was bandied around a lot before the LHC went online, but no one ever had a proposition of what the alternative was is the goal was to advance fundamental particle physics. You've got exactly 2 ways to probe subatomic interactions: (1) particle accelerator measurement and (2) incidental measurements of high-energy spaceborne collisions.

We're doing both. Theoreticians being unable to conclusively find a new measurement is a problem independent of the fact the LHC exists to do those sorts of measurements that they'd need.
I was only able to get to 840,000 open connections with my experiment. My machine only has 8GB of memory. https://josephmate.github.io/2022-04-14-max-connections/

> It's not clear at which point Lambda function receives access to more than 2 vCPU cores

This is one of the more annoying things about the service. Why can't AWS publish this information? I might get 4 vCPUs at 5308MB today, but there's no guarantee they won't raise that threshold to 6144MB tomorrow and cause my run times to increase. There should be a better way to figure out what my execution environment looks like than trial and error.

So go devote the rest of your life and all your money to saving some homeless person, no one is stopping you. It's your life to live as you choose. I'm just asking that at some point of spending a certain amount of resources without successfully getting a person of their feet, it become an option for someone like you to volunteer to fix the problem rather than a tax forced at gunpoint.

Remember there is finite money and there are hard decisions about whether to spend some money on say a homeless adult person that has been given many chances vs a young child who may be even more influenceable with the same amount of money. In many case these taxes are coming from families who no longer have the choice to spend that money on their young child or own family members.

Given infinite resources it may be worth it, but at the cost of robbing say a young child of these resources or multiple life-times of labor it may not.

I can't see it as being superior in every way. In most cities where I've spent significant time with the public transit system, it's relatively common for the buses to need to reroute around things like road construction and street festivals. Also, buses frequently need to pass other buses on the same route that are stopped due to equipment problems or running slowly due to overcrowding. A trolleybus would have a hard time dealing with those sorts of things.

It's also, I would guess, a lot more difficult to get off the ground. With battery powered buses, you just buy however many buses, and throw them on whatever pre-existing route. With a trolleybus, you need to install the overhead wire system before you can get started.

And then, I would imagine the overhead wire system itself becomes a problem. Do you have to worry about transporting oversize loads on or across the same streets? Is it going to become another electrocution hazard for people who need to work above the street? etc.

That's not to say there aren't advantages to trolleybuses, too. Just that the claim that it's "in every way superior to batteries" is an overreach.
Much of what you say is true but my point was about the coverage of these issues in mainstream news. I don't think this is particularly a male silence problem.

i'm not in the media advertising business, so i'm glad you opened my eyes on these aspects too

personally, i'd like to believe the reason we have these weird ads is that companies want to show they are "trendy" but they ridiculously, in a way desperately over-express it

As an R user who can't stand working in Python, where Elixir I think has the most potential is not the data science part but data engineering. The whole world of ELT/ETL pipeline and workflow tools written in Python is a mess IMO, and Broadway/Flow + Ecto + what's going on with Explorer etc I think can quickly replace a whole mess of python/scala/EMR type workflows in a language and environment that feels way better suited to the problem space, in my experience.

1. Share a thought

2. How does that thought make you feel?

3. Why does it make you feel that way?

4. Think about your thought in a way that makes you feel differently.

5. How does thinking about it differently change your original feelings?

6. What new opportunities are possible by thinking differently?

Not really trying to create something positive as much as showing the possibility for opportunities. Write down your answers as you complete the exercise.
It’s different than grocery stores and plumbers I think because roads are seen as a public good, and if they’re using space in a crowded city, that space was/is also a public resource. Since everyone contributes their individual sovereignty equally, there’s a sense that govt should serve everyone’s interests equal, as best it can.
Debit cards can do the same job for basically no fee.

Credit card users, however, are likelier to spend more money, and that is why many retailers are hesitant to charge credit card users more than debit card users.

Edit: note that Target does give a 5% discount on everything you buy if you pay with your bank account tied to their debit Red Card, so some retailers do seem to be changing ways.
Yes. For anyone who's not up on extremely obscure standard library issues in Rust, the Range type kind of serves two different purposes. One is the general concept of a range, and the other is an iterator over a range. Range is more of the latter, and copying iterators does slightly weird things (the behavior is contrary to some human intuition, even though the behavior is consistent), and so it was decided that Range shouldn't be Copy. But for the generic "I want a range of numbers" case, you would want that to be Copy. So there's a push and pull here. It seems like some of the latest discussion (and this has been going on for years) is that maybe this decision was wrong and even though the iterator behavior is weird ranges should start being Copy, but no decision is made yet. But when you're not doing iteration directly, imho you probably should just use a tuple of (start, end) rather than a Range, even though that may feel a bit odd.

Also: it's weird and really unfair imho that the GP is downvoted. While it is true that some folks have a different opinion, it's extremely subjective, and downvoting them for a slightly minority opinion doesn't seem right to me. I upvoted it, personally.

Examining Centaur CHA’s Die and Implementation Goals
Good initiative, but might be better idea to provide less apps with similar functionality and concentrate on one that actually works. I'm still searching for a decent privacy respecting (no internet, no sync, no google account required) app for simple reminders and notes, but neither of Secuso apps worked, mainly reminders in "To-Do-List" were not working at all.

If anyone has made a simple reminder/note app, similar to ones you'd find on smartphone pre-installed - please share. No idea how many apps I already tested, and each one has some annoying issues. I just need a simple Google Keep clone without sync, location features.
No one ever actually asked what my solution was!

My actual position is that there does need to be an extremist counterpart to the peaceful climate movement that can plausibly escalate to violence against people. But that there are several steps along the way with chances for those in power to de-escalate first.

Things like targeted destruction of fossil fuel facilities and harassment campaigns against certain politicians and executives are likely to be very effective at raising the cost of contributing to the climate crisis. If those with the power to actually respond to those measures do so, it won't need to escalate further. Hopefully violence isn't necessary but at this point unfortunately, the credible threat of it is.
We have very little first hand evidence about almost any historical figure every existing, for oldest surviving written source about the Second Punic war and Hannibal's invasion of Italy was written at least 50 years after it happened.

Good. It should cause outrage.
> Giving men equal rights in the decision to become a parent would mean giving them the right to legal parental surrender.

That’s the point people seem to overlook.

There is no particularly good reason why all men should not be able to surrender parental rights especially early on say during the first trimester and essentially be treated as sperm donors as far as the law goes (tho from my understanding in some or even many jurisdictions sperm donors aren’t protected from that either beyond their anonymity).

At that point the woman still has a choice if she wishes to continue with the pregnancy on her own or terminate it.

Basically it would turn the equation from do you want to have a child to do you want to have a child without any financial support from the father.
Not really, in the sense that Hossenfelder only advocated for subtracting resources from particle physics, never about what should be funded instead.

They live there because they immigrated through new York and settled down in New York. That doesn't mean they're required to integrate with the modern world, as much as that attitude disgusts me.
If you need to resort to such silly gimmicks, maybe there is something else that's wrong? Maybe you are depressed and you should seek help? Maybe you are not motivated because you are not in a career you enjoy or you don't like the major you've chosen in school or a family member is sick? If you take a step back and assess the situation rationally, something must be terribly wrong in your life if you need to "create a positive feedback loop to become motivated".

Last year I launched a perfect tool exactly for prioritization / item selection from any list.

For example, you can choose your most necessary goals using SMART++ criteria (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-phased, Ethical, Environmentally sound, Positively stated, etc.).
Or you can prioritize weekly tasks, evaluating them by your criteria of choice (Urgency, Importance, Unavoidability, Manageability, Impact, Ethical, social, and ecological responsibility, Financial return, etc.)

Or the author of the article, as an investor, could get help choosing a founding team for funding, evaluating them by the criteria he mentioned: hungry, humble, knowledgeable, and attractive for talent.

I remember back in 2008 people were complaining that they didn't know they had to pay back those mortgages. They also complained they didn't know what their mortgage contract said, because they didn't read it.

Every mortgage contract I've bought included a separate page that said simply "I have read and understand this contract" that had to be signed.

At what point does some personal responsibility come into play?
> and still has no release date

JEP 425 has been proposed to target JDK 19, out September 20. It will first be a "Preview" feature, which means supported but subject to change, and if all goes well would normally be out of Preview two releases, i.e. one year, after that.

You don't have to, but not that only the thread-per-request model offers you world-class observability/debuggability.

> other than "ugh, this again".

Ok, although in 2022, the Java platform is still among the most technologically advanced, state-of-the art, software plarform out there. It stands shoulder to shoulder with clang and V8 on compilation, and beats everything else on GC and low-overhead observability (yes, even eBPF).
I see this kind of argument a lot: Raising awareness is somehow bad if you're not also providing more "direct" contributions to the solution.

Sorry to break it to you, but there's only so much energy one person can contribute, and it requires focus in order to be successful. That's why marketers aren't in the factories, hand-building the product they sell.

But what I DO notice is that people who lodge these sorts of complaints tend to be the same people who themselves aren't doing a damn thing at all. And when one is accomplishing nothing, it often makes one feel better to criticize the doers.
Exactly this. The VA already is hiring as many midlevels (NP/PA) as possible so that they don't have to hire MDs. You wouldn't believe how low the bar is to become an NP. PAs receive substantially better training, but at the end of the day they are still midlevels.

Worse still, many NP programs are now giving out "doctorates" of nursing practice so that NPs can introduce themselves to the patient as "Dr." Smith.

In short, the VA is willing to gamble with your life if it means saving a few bucks. It's pretty harrowing.

While I agree that access to medically assisted suicide is a human right, I also think the author is making a salient point about economic injustice.
Generally speaking, those with generational wealth and connections fare better in life than those who start at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder. Being poor leads to worse outcomes—when you spend all your time working to survive, there isn’t much time for doctor’s appointments (even with universal heath care), daily exercise, or a health-conscious diet.
It’s an incendiary headline to be sure, but the point still stands: when medically-assisted suicide is made readily available, those who are the least loved by a society are most likely to opt out of living in it.
Weird. Seems to have worked.

Judging a book by its cover is actually not the worst strategy for picking a book. And I WAS responding to the content; content like accusing scientists of lying, content like silly photos designed to get you to click.

edit: To sum in Bayesian terms, the prior probability of reading a good book is greater if the publisher had sunk money into a high quality cover, because they believe in its content, while a trashy cover might be the only thing a trash book could obtain. Likewise, the prior probability of bullshit is greater if the tone is shrill, accusatory, and exaggerated, while the prior probability of quality content is greater if the scientific commentary is academic, serious, and professional.
