In a "perfect world" we'd all get routine checks, this would have two advantages:

* Most illneses are easier to treat and have better long term outcomes in terms of morbidity, when they are detected early / in a asymptomatic stage.

* We could collectively use the data collected from scanning "healthy" people, and adjust our bayesian priors so that we can more accurately adjust our diagnostic measures. E.g. common virus infections can give you brain lesions visible in MRI scans. However since MRIs are expensive we rarely scan healthy people so every lesion in an MRI is an immediate supicion of MS or other neurodegnerative diseases.
We simply don't have good baselines for this.

The latter would allow us to look at all the indicators more holistically to make a well balanced judgement if more invasive diagnostics are warranted.

One of the issues is that Eurotunnel requires a minimum train length, so that if a train is ever stopped in the tunnel, there will always be an emergency exit accessible without having to walk down the track. DB planned to meet the minimum length by joining two units together, but the problem is that there was no way for passengers to move between the front and rear units.
What does a temporary reprieve help if it threatens to destroy the outlook in long term? That strikes me as a uniquely short sighted pov. I am not surprised though, given your usage of the word "neoliberal" in that way. I am certainly not a "neoliberal", because that's just a soft form of socialism. I am a laissez faire capitalist.

While we're all advocating for our favorite science related YT channels, let me add a plug for "Physics Girl" (aka Dianna Cowern). Note that her channel isn't so much cosmology and deep theoretical stuff, but has a lot of focus on exploring "real world" aspects of science, including lots of field trips to see neat places and things, but explored from a physics perspective.

Another great channel is Dr Becky (Becky Smethurst). Dr. Becky is an astrophysicist, so her channel is more specifically oriented towards astrophysics topics.

They need to be taken to court, and this practice has to be made illegal. A service should have a valid reason for banning someone, otherwise we will end up with a group of people that are perpetually discriminated and punished by AI for no reason.

Blocking your Facebook account can lead to losing access to support groups and local marketplaces that may be important to people in need, and it is absolutely disgusting that they are allowed to kick people out for no reason.
> The idea of "false" is a higher-level abstraction that was successfully back-ported to C.

You're pushing 'back-ported' a bit much. It's just a blatant equivalence that 0 is a conceptual false, when a zero caused a particular behaviour if used in an if/while/etc.

'false' as a concept has always been in C afaik whether it had that name (via #DEFINE) or not.

Haven't we already discussed the failure of the Linux Desktop hundreds of times before? The best Linux Distro is actually Windows via WSL.

ChromeOS seems to be the exception, but even that is moving from a Linux Kernel to use the Zircon Kernel in Fuchsia. So that is disqualified.

The Linux desktop ship has already sailed 25 years ago and they are now arriving at the port 25 years late. It is not early days.
Then it doesn't make any sense to compare it to falling out of a plane. No matter what mass you're talking about, it cancels out when you compare it to another velocity, so the factor would still be 1.6, not 10.

Usually aggregated... then can start looking at "subsets". For example, step 1 is look at the whole dataset. Then you identify that there are a lot of rows with a type of missing value, so you look at the statistical attributes of that subset (all the rows with value X in null).

From time to time you can do a `.head()/.title()` or an `.iloc[X:Y]` to check some things visually. But just as a "refresher".

>Increasing the strictness of license requirements...

Sadly, I'd have to disagree. I think all this would do would be to increase the number of drivers operating illegally. Increase the friction, and people will just find a way to avoid it all together. The only real way to stop it would to have mandatory checkpoints. The push back from the masses for any kind of change like this would be enormous that you'd be asking Roe v Who? in comparison.

Haha, no: It's because if you put an MMU in a microcontroller it's not a microcontroller anymore! That makes it an "application processor" of which there are many tens of thousands to choose from these days.

There's nothing stopping you from taking say, a Raspberry Pi 4 and using it as a bare metal device (no OS) just like an Arduino. Or taking that same chip (BCM2711) and putting it in your own board to do something similar. It just wouldn't be economical for that sort of purpose most of the time.

I've lived in a village in Germany and I never drove. The village center and Straßenbahn stop were a five minute walk from my apartment. And that tiny little village had more independent butchers and bakers than most large American cities. It also had everything else you might need day to day. So the only real reason to take the train besides entertainment was commuting. Depending on where you worked that would be about 10-30 minutes one way by transit.
The worst part is the official app, at least on iOS, is a horrible experience. Apollo is so much better even though I don’t love the UI

You aren't taking into account the money saved from eliminating all the infrastructure needed for collecting and enforcing the fares like OP mentioned..

Unless farebox recovery ratio already subtracts the money spent to collect fares? That's not my understanding though.

This is assuming that your trip starts and stops exactly next to the train station and that there is a non-delayed train available precisely at the right time. In practice that's not the case and those time add up quickly.

Car trip will look like:

1. Travel from start to location (3:20)
2. Find parking (0:5)
3. Walk from parking to location (0:10)

Total time of 3:35

Your train trip will look like:

1. Go from start to train station (0:20)
2. Wait for train (0:10)
3. Train to Berlin (1:50)
4. Train station to location (0:20)
5. Wait at location because there was no better train (1:00)

Total time of 3:40.

It stil might be worth it to use the train, as you can work/read in the train which you can't do in a car.

But for the train to be working it needs planets to be aligned: start location must be within reasonable distance to train station; end location must be within reasonable distance to train station; train travel speed is significantly faster than cars; train schedule is aligned with desired arrival time. If any of these conditions are not met, the train option does not work

You miss the point. ALL managed money is moving towards ESG. The entire point is that the large hedge funds get to shape the world with YOUR dollars because there is nowhere else to put your dollars.

> 4. Scaffolding being put up or taken down. Incredibly noisy, actually has to be done fairly regularly [...]

The fact that it has to be done fairly regularly is not inevitable. It's a consequence of some arguable laws in some cities (NYC for example).

Living in Paris, I can't recall ever being disturbed by scaffolding being put up or taken down. The scaffolding I see generally stays up for months at a time until the work is finished, which means it's only being put up and taken down once. And it's not frequent to see scaffolding.

A big item missing from that list is mopeds (and, to a lesser extent, other loud 2-wheelers, which are less frequent). A lot of food delivery workers use those all day and night round, and they are very loud.

As others have said, someone's list is heavily influenced by where they live. All the items you listed are generally not a big issue to me (mopeds, general ICE noise, honking and random alarms are the main culprits).

Edit: clarification, "ICE" means internal combustion engine here. Electric vehicles are nearly silent at low speed and don't contribute to noise.
Same thing happened to me on my last HN comment (you probably can't see it, it's "dead"). As far as I can tell, I didn't break any rules or say anything controversial. Who do I have to sleep with to get this sorted out?

Edit: It's fixed now.
Oh I got the perfect answer for this one.

As someone who (now after about a year of therapy a while back) has my OCD managed, let me tell you what my brain still does with a moment of free time:

Visualizes the worst possible scenario of any situation I’m in!

Standing in line to get coffee: What happens if I blurt out a racial slur randomly in here? Or what if someone walks in with a gun? What if someone put poison in this batch of coffee?

Walking with my kids to a park: What if that van over there is about to kidnap my kids. What if my oldest pushes my younger one out into traffic? What if one of them falls off the playground and gets permanent brain damage?

Sitting in bed at night: What if that weird feeling in my stomach is cancer? What if I left the heater on too high and it starts a fire that burns down my house? What if a giant sinkhole opens up beneath my house and swallows us whole?

All that being said, I used to spend hours compulsing to try and make the anxiety these thoughts cause go away but have learned to better accept them for what they are.
Very little about the War on Drugs was/is legal let alone moral. But just like "Torture" was gifted a pass during the Bush years, we ignored the reality of the "War on Drugs" in order to pacify the most frightened and ignorant among us... Oh and enrich the makers of fear, weapons and armory.

> while establishing slaves as 3/5 of a person for Congressional representation

No argument against your point, but a similar[0] Constitutional issue persists today:

Residents of Wyoming are established as 3.23 people for Congressional representation.

Residents of California are about 4/5ths of a person.

[0] Nothing is similar to slavery, and specifically here the fact that the voting power of these 3/5ths allocations was given to people who did not represent the interests of the humans that comprised the allocations in the first place!
Yeah I guarantee there will be way less of this bullshit once it’s 100% legal.
> what you call "sex workers" is a euphemism for sex trafficked women.

How involved are you in combatting sex trafficking? I've been involved in this to varying degrees for a few years now, and this is would be new information to me.

Sex trafficking and sex work is a Venn diagram with overlap, certainly, but they are definitely not the same. Many women do sex work as an independent decision, choosing it over other choices that they are presented with, and they find fulfillment in it.

Trafficked people are, at best, highly vulnerable individuals who feel they don't have any alternatives and are brainwashed by people close to them. More often than that, they are simply abducted and traded as property. Sex trafficking is a recognized form of slavery. Very different from independent sex workers.

EDIT:

The reason it's important to get this distinction right is because misinformation around it dilutes the seriousness of actual human trafficking. There are people in slavery who need intervention from police and governments. Not middle-class women in Orange County who do private sessions in the basement of the home they own.
Car is probably not the right solution for all those people then. Even I wish I could reduce my dependency on cars.

> how do you do that in a polyglot Environment?

Cloudflare Workers does it by using a WebAssembly runtime (https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/languages...). You compile your C/Go/Rust/whatever code to WASM, and the embedded WASM runtime executes them at "almost native" speed.

Whichever runtime they use (probably WAVM?), it has support for "isolates" in the V8 sense (https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-0.8/d5/dda/classv8_1_1_is...), which work effectively as sandboxes without requiring host:guest process isolation.

The strong guarantee of isolation for WebAssembly in particular (stronger than that of isolates for Node.js code) comes from the WASM runtime's use of bytecode with no "escape hatch" to native code (no loading of native modules); and the WASM abstract machine's isolated memory model.

Technically, though, I don't think this gets Cloudflare much in latency terms over doing efficient concurrent binary IPC over local Unix sockets, ala the Erlang "C node" model (https://www.erlang.org/doc/tutorial/overview.html#c-nodes). Due to the aforementioned isolated memory model, even a process-embedded WASM isolate will still require a memcpy(2) to exchange data into and out of the isolate. Unless Cloudflare have hacked up something custom, there's no way to do zero-copy SHM messaging with a WASM program.
> Or are people now simply able to pick up the same ambient awareness they desire about the state of the world (or at least the subjective impression of something that feels like it) from free internet sources?

This. People find some value in the news and are willing to pay for it when there's no other option, but they don't value the news enough to pay for it when the free internet option does an acceptable job of satisfying their curiosity.

You mention TV and radio, but the critical difference is that you can read paper or online news on your own time, whereas TV and radio have their own schedules.
