While I view the modern approach--give the infant some anesthetic--as best, here is another thought about not being able to remember the pain afterwards (reportedly babies that were operated on without anesthesia have no memory of it, even years later).

I have had several colonoscopies, dating back 20 years or more. (Yes, I am that old, and get off my lawn.) For the first couple, I remember it as at best uncomfortable, and at times painful. But ten or so years ago, they started giving some kind of anesthesia. I've heard that you're not really unconscious from this, and from what I've been able to squeeze out of the doctors and anesthesiologists, it sounds like you still feel some pain. But I (and apparently other patients) have absolutely no memory of that; I can recall getting the IV and being told to lay on my side, and that's all until I woke up in recovery. And the odd thing about that is, I'm perfectly ok with it. I don't go into colonoscopies now dreading the discomfort, and I don't worry afterwards that I might have been in pain. I don't understand it, but There It Is.

> "Eighty percent of California's water goes to agriculture" is very literally saying "Eighty percent of California's water feeds people"

Alfalfa doesn't feed people [1]. It feeds cows that feed people. And nobody is going to starve because almonds and pistachios are pricier.

Moreover, California's agriculture is notoriously water inefficient [2]. Why wouldn't it be? What other behavior would you expect from agricultural multinationals for whom we've effectively zero rated a commodity input?

1) To be precise, I've heard the water quality concerns from some conspiracy theorists for many years, but I don't know which of them have specifically said why this is happening. That comment about a docile population was solely my speculation on its effects, and not a quote from anybody.

2) Certainly it's fair to point out that mind-reading isn't a thing and you can't prove why anybody does anything. Thoughts and motives of others are internal to their brain, and while they can be in evidence, they cannot be fully known. This idea that you can mind-read is something that virtually every media entity, whether it's a mainstream corporate outlet or some indie conspiracy theorist, gets wrong. Many news headlines are literal mind-reading headlines that are impossible to verify. Once you start looking for this, you'll see media mind-reading everywhere.

3) I'd like to point out that you arguably committed the same mind-reading error in your post that you're critiquing. By saying that that "the former sells more books", you're stating an assumption that their motives are fiduciary and not driven by a genuine desire for human freedom and quality of life. Your statement may or may not be accurate, but certainly isn't a provable summary of their motives.

4) A lot of the ivory tower crowd likes to scoff at the conspiracy theorists, saying they always get things wrong. That can be debated until the cows come home, but I'd like to point out one small thing. There's no war in my lifetime (other than Ukraine, imagine that) that a large chunk of the corporate media weren't hooting, hollering, and cheerleading for, and I can't think of many conspiracy theorists who ever supported the constant random wars. Just think about that when deciding if contrarian voices are needed or not.

Good article breaking down the limitations of the science driven approach to productivity that Accelerate presents, and some of it’s harder to prove claims.

I did find the capabilities and KPIs that Accelerate emphasizes useful, however. I agree with the author that there are a lot of other issues (such as building the wrong thing) that impact a businesses overall success. However if you’re on a team that’s focused on developer productivity, the four metrics offered (Deployment frequency, Lead time for Changes, Time to Restore Service, and Change Failure rate) are pretty good ones to focus on.

I also found surveys useful at identifying gaps in monitoring, detecting sources of toil among an engineering team, and gauging overall employee satisfaction, though they are not great at getting granular data. That said, they can provide good areas to dig in with more ethnographic research methods.
What's next? Are they going to start their own overpriced clothing line too?
Sure. But you can't ask California to solve "its" water problem while solving everyone's food problem. One of them has to give.

34" of consumptive water use (per your source) across the thousands of acres planted is simply unsustainable—plenty of crops use half that, even with 19th century techniques that agribusiness insists on. Also that's more than half of the draw (again per your source) so "most" is quite the exaggeration. And the majority of the loss here is simply surface evaporation!

Mature? I don't know about that. Each time I upgrade I'm faced with new inexplicable bugs. This time on 5.25.0, I'm hit by:

Brightness controls are broken, both from the keyboard keys and plasma applet thing. echoing into /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness still works fine at least...

Not introduced with this update but still broken: Every time I unplug and replug in my USB mouse, my inverse scroll direction preference isn't respected. I have to go into the mouse config GUI, uncheck it, apply, recheck it, and apply. Every time I plug in my mouse. Never in my 30 years of using computers have I see such basic functionality broken this badly. How how HOW does KDE not get a mouse configuration GUI to work correctly? Such basic functionality getting broken has seriously shaken my confidence in KDE as a whole. I just don't understand how something so basic and conceptually simple could break, let alone remain broken for so long.

Other issues I've experienced in the past few months that have now seemingly resolved: Symlinks to files on my network share wouldn't thumbnail in the Folder View applet, but would in Dolphin. Power management (plugged in, unplugged, battery low, etc) notifications stopped working.

I care, trust me. I really want to like KDE. But when each update inexplicably breaks basic functionality, how can I recommend this to any of my friends or family? I think they'd hate me for the recommendation.

California's "average water use is roughly 50% environmental, 40% agricultural, and 10% urban" [1]. 80% of California's discretionary water budget is used by agriculture. This is about agricultural versus urban use.

I'm by no means an expert or a lawyer or someone you should listen to. But this may hint at the complexity. A lot of water rights come from Spanish land grants ~330 years ago. And those were guaranteed by treaty after the Mexican American war. So, the U.S. can do whatever it wants, but treaties are in this weird space below the constitution but above a simple bill through congress to become law.

Water rights are generally old, old law and weird and complicated and special for each little town.

It also means that if you get “bequeathed” $1000 and use it to buy tools, start a contracting business, and expand it into a large construction corporation over 30 years, you didn’t “self-make” anything either.

Glucosamine is both a precursor metabolite and major component of complex carbohydrates in the cell.

Glucosamine (GlcN) gets acetylated to form GlcNAc, which is found in pretty much all the complex carbohydrate types in humans. It’s also the main component of the chitin shells on our insect/crustacean friends.

You can also find GlcN in glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), in heparan sulfates (transformed from GlcNAc to an N-sulfated GlcN by the NDSTs) as a prerequisite for further sulfation. The pattern of sulfation on these sugars is important for determining the bioactivity and interactions for each of the GAGs. For example, the sulfation pattern on heprarin is important to tune to avoid HITT while still maintaining anticoagulant activity.
KDE 4.0 was abysmal, so bad it seemed like deliberate sabotage, and it didn't get much better through 4.2. That's when I gave up on KDE for several years (until about a year or so ago.) Now I'm trying to like it again, all the right pieces seem to be in place, but the constant introduction of new bugs to basic functionality has me questioning why I'm even trying.

> Not to mention that too much empaty would be highly detrimental to any innovation and even survival. You would never fire someone and would use all the reasources to "help the poor" instead to invest into high risk high reward projects(i.e computers, space exploration). You would die of starvation instead to slaughter the cow because you are too empathic.

This is a fantasy of objectivism, reactionaryism, and the like, a transparent attempt at justification for their selfishness. Empathy makes you care about the people you will feed with the beef, including yourself (empathy starts with yourself) - it doesn't turn you into an idiot, except in the imaginary strawperson fantasies of the aformentioned groups.

> "help the poor"

Why is that in scare quotes? Also, if you invest in people, many more will eventually invent high-reward things.

My wife returned to a hybrid schedule a couple of months ago. Every day she has to drive to work (30 minute commute, +- 10 minutes with traffic) taxes her emotionally and physically. She only goes in two days per week, and her actions and mental state are noticeably different on those days. She doesn’t really collaborate at all while she is there; there’s little value in her being present. Why demean people like this? Seems like a combination of management ego and sunk cost fallacy for existing leases.

I loved my old 6100/66. had like 264 (2 x 128mb + 8mb onboard) RAM, that AV card, and a Sonnet G3/233 card. I absolutely loved that machine for as long as I could until the OS X era came around.

the bottleneck became the SCSI drives and then networking, being limited to the 10mbit AAUI port.

I too have happy memories of those days. Computers were a whole lot more fun.
> The Colorado River supplies water to nearly 40 million people in cities from Denver to Los Angeles

> “We are 150 feet from 25 million Americans losing access to the Colorado River"

> roughly 80% of the river’s flow is used for agriculture, and most of that for thirsty crops like alfalfa, which is mainly grown for cattle

Somebody needs to wake the people in those cities up. If they don't start screaming at their representatives, they won't be able to use their faucets, because some cattle farmers don't want to import feed. This is ridiculous.

But then again, this is America. If 25 million people need to go without water so my burgers will be cheaper, so be it, right?

I would guess that there is not much room for them to develop the battery technology further, as it seems they are close to the absolute limit of the materials' performance.

So to start a plug-in hybrid program using that battery technology, could be very bad (outpriced, outperformed) if there was suddenly a huge leap forward in Li density and safety.

From a sermon I heard years ago: A dog looks at how its master cares for it, feeds it, takes it on walks, gives it treats, and generally loves it, and says "How my master loves me! My master must be God."

Yeah no people like you say that yet shelter children from seeing graphic images of where meat comes from. It’s it ain’t so bad then you’d think there would be more pride in it.

But animal cruelty is actually one of the weaker arguments for becoming vegan because it requires, as I said earlier, an a-ha realization that animals are aware, intelligent, feel pain and sadness, deserve more from us as the stewards of this world.

Like people can high five over loving bacon and what have you, but honestly the eating habits of most people are deplorable and selfish and they can numbly read about ecological devastation caused by industrialized animal farming and the rampant use of antibiotics which in turn is creating super bacteria immune to it (let us not forget covid came from a meat market as well as the seasonal avian and bovine “flus” which manifest constantly).. you guys can cry in carnivore all you want but the worst thing of the situation is that eating meat or drinking dairy is not necessary: it is all done for pleasure. It’s just pathetic that people can look at all that and reply “.. but cheese”.

They are mostly happening for those reasons, but in many states it is legal through 3rd trimester with no restrictions [1].

If this argument was obvious partisanship, there would simply be a national ban on elective 3rd trimester abortion (as you argue, it's a no-brainer). Yet that is not a bill which can pass congress today, suggesting there is considerable support for elective 3rd trimester abortion.

Congress has come together to pass sweeping bills to prevent far fewer deaths than those abortions (think Patriot Act).
