Yeah, this is an interesting aspect of the problem for me. Is it unethical to hurt someone if you're doing it in a way that they definitely won't be able to remember later?

Would you like to go through extreme torture (without lasting physical damage) if you could get a guarantee that you wouldn't remember any of it once it's done?

Are we who we are now, or are we our memories of our past?

This is not just academical, it has practical polic consequences: our perception of how painful a procedure was is based primarily on two things: how painful it was at its worst, and how painful it was at the very end. So a procedure can seem a lot less painful if you subject the patient to pain over a longer time (instead of an intense peak) and end on a softer note.

But of course, that's when you're asked to judge the painfulness of the procedure after the fact -- not while you're undergoing it. When you're undergoing it, you might want it to end quickly, even if that means higher intensity pain.

Who should you satisfy? Patient on the table now, or patient tomorrow after a good night's sleep?
There is a more common version which uses a glass pipette for the suction stage, in order (presumably) to avoid direct contact between mouth and wound, but crucially, this offers little or no hygiene advantage compared to the full-on ritual. The prevalence of either version, however, is of little consequence, considering that they are both legally permitted and widely defended.

I'll be curious to see if this reverses the westward migration in the United States that we've seen over the past 100+ years. Large rust belt and east coast saw stagnant, if not declining, populations as new families moved west for better weather, mountains, cheap land, access to the west coast, ... the Great Lakes, Ohio, Upper Mississippi, and New England (and the Upper Colorado) watersheds are least likely to be impacted by severe droughts. Throw the Mid Atlantic in there, too, despite the increasing risk of severe tropical events.

Why stay away from perfectly mature languages?
Satisfying the interface was just one of the things the article lists as reasons why breakage is quite implausible. Your example doesn't address the others though.

For example, how did you accidentally get an instance of "Set" in the code path doing arithmetic on "BigInteger" instances, and why didn't that "Set" fail earlier during the other operations that are most likely being performed on the BigInteger (parsing it from a string, doing other arithmetic on it, etc)?
That level is a fairly safe target for healthy active young males that remain asymptomatic, and show low levels of aromatization potential. Proper labwork performed often is a must regardless of dosage. Adverse effects obviously would mean it has to be reduced, but usually if there will be any issues youll see it in cholesterol, and ancillary hormone responses first.

High levels of activity can make it hard for certain esters to keep the levels stable if stable is what is desired. For some people longer release solutions are better, like testopel which is a pellet that goes in subq like a chip you put in a housecat's neck. Some prefer to taper over days, or even have smaller doses more often during the week. It's ultimately up to what the patient and doc arrive at that works best. Everyone is different, to an extent.
The big problem with this that I don't have a good answer to... we've been told to use a password manager and have it secured with a long passphrase... and now we write down the username/passphrase on a piece of paper or somewhere else easily accessible - how to adequately secure that?

Maybe encrypt the passphrase under an m of n scheme and distribute to family & friends that you can trust to not collaborate unless you are truly incapacitated?
There are many different lenses in which one could look at Bitcoin and say that it’s making humanity more productive.

One that comes to mind especially for Bitcoin is that it “could” act as a global store of value, independent of any one geopolitical power. Many countries lack stable and non-corrupt currencies, and many people in those countries cannot trust putting large sums of money in their economy, for fear that they will be taken away from them. If BTC stabilizes in value sufficiently, people in those countries could use it as a store of value—like gold, but easier to obtain. Id argue that the idea of having a digital store of value does increase the productivity of the world, because people don’t have to rely on inefficiently hoarding gold, or paying fees for buying gold in the stock market.
> If 99.999% fail do lack of personal empowerment, that is still a failure of the system, not the individual.

A telling miscommunication appears to have occurred.

In my mind, I granted the normal distribution of personal empowerment to that that population — and therefore, the vast majority of the failures were attributable to something else (the "corrupt" system). In the fight to be part of the 0.001% successful, a sense of personal empowerment was necessary but not sufficient — lots of people believed in themselves, but belief alone was not enough.

But you seem to have thought I meant all 99.999% of them failed due to lacking a sense of personal empowerment. All the successes possess a sense of personal empowerment, and all of the failures lack a sense of personal empowerment.

I assert that ascribing success overwhelmingly to personal empowerment is an apologia for the status quo because it serves as an excuse to change nothing.

> I don't think we can continue if you disagree that hopelessness, despair, and feelings of worthlessness are problematic.

Homeless people feeling hopeless is a problem. Responding to that with moral teaching is futile if your goal is to do something about homelessness, although effective if your goal is to flatter the successful that they are virtuous.

This is amazingly slick, I have to say. I routinely run D&D-like RPGs out of PDFs over Zoom-like video conferencing apps, and often find myself screen-sharing to present graphics to my players: scenery, opponents, items, etc. In commercially published PDFs, these graphics are often embedded among game statistics or plot-relevant details that would spoil the story for players if they were to glimpse it on my screen, and it can be laborious to cut these out in a way that's safely presentable.

Tonight, though, I remembered I'd seen your tool here on HN and was able to, in seconds, copy+paste an image straight from Adobe Acrobat into Stylepad.

Very slick. So nice.
When the federal government taxes people, it's not collecting money, it's deleting money. That makes the money of people who are taxed less inherently more valuable. In this regard, if the federal government were to tax people — especially the rich — considerably more than it prints money, then that would be a very effective anti-inflationary measure and a hell of a lot more friendly to the poor than raising interest rates.

In other words, hell yes.

My dad is an anesthesiologist and I've heard similar things from him. Anesthetics have three goals: 1. Elimination of pain; 2. Loss of consciousness; 3. Loss of memory. Of these, he was saying that the most important is the last. If you have no memory of the pain, in some sense it didn't really happen.

It does sort of make sense that they are okay with the patient experiencing some pain because anesthetics (at least those used for general anesthesia) are very dangerous drugs. There is a metric called the "therapeutic index" given to drugs, which is the ratio between the amount needed to get the medical benefit to the amount needed to kill you. Most drugs in medicine have a very high therapeutic index, like 1:100 or 1:1000. (Morphine is around 1:70 for instance.) But the drugs used for general anesthesia are closer to 1:2. So there's very little margin for error which means they try to provide lower doses if at all possible.
But then you'll be too far from a higher-level language like python to be able to make the connection, I think. It's quite easy to make analogies between python and C snippets, but to do that with assembly you have to understand calling conventions, system calls, stack frames, and so so much more.
So, in other words: write a specification document and then build.

Isn't this what many reasonably run companies do anyway? There have been very few instances in my coding career where I've been asked to build something that didn't have a spec doc, design or some form of legwork done prior to implementation. A design I would argue is a form of documentation, visual documentation. The handful of situations where I've been asked to do something was a result of one boss in particular who was an ideas guy and would always come to me and ask me to build demos for ideas based on a few minutes of conversation.

The strongest fingerprinting techniques use a lot of computing (e.g. font, canvas analysis) so they are expensive to use - no one wants to slow down their visitors by several seconds.
The weaker fingerprint techniques can be easily patched and mocked it's just that it's a constant effort to keep up with them.

All it would take is 1 major browser to enable it by default to distrubt whole fingerprinting ecosystem to the point where it would be too expensive to effectively fingerprint people.

The state should cover the cost of grinding these unwanted plants. It's unrealistic to expect farmers to take a more expensive route to dispose of them, if they have a cheap alternative.
The Third Straw
My stock joke is that if the doctor or nurse says it won’t hurt, it will hurt at least a little. If they say it will hurt a little, it will hurt a lot. If they say it will probably hurt, time for serious anesthesia.

Also, there’s pretty much no such thing as minor surgery except maybe skin tag removal.

I know this is an anecdote, but Paxlovid basically stopped COVID dead the day after I started taking it. Other than a crappy taste in my mouth, I felt achey maybe one more day and all of my other symptoms went away. Based on prior experience, I was going to have a bad couple of weeks - it turned the infection into a less than a minor flu like event for me. I just finished day 5 of the treatment today, so we'll see about a "rebound".

To me charging market price for water seemed obvious and easy till the comments here pointed out what should be obvious: the farmers Steve getting their water from the faucet but from their own wells, creeks etc. So that solution is pretty hard to do on practice.

Other than disgruntled voters, I don't see an obstacle for proper beef prices. In fact I wish we could price in carbon emissions, as I wish that pretty much for every price. I personally hope we'll soon see the day where you have to pay extra at McDonald's to get a beef patty instead of cyber meat.

I wasn't claiming it would. I was just saying Shoot() isn't exactly a common function name that would collide with anything to begin with, so it's a bit of a strawman as an example before you even need to list out multiple criteria. I'm pretty sure I've never written a Shoot() function in my life, let alone worried about it colliding with something. Compared with add(), get(), setValue(), read(), etc. which are incredibly common and thus more realistic candidates. That's all.
*a feature for Adobe, not Apple
Sugar cane crops are burned every year, it returns micronutrients to the soil and allows for mycchorizae to re-establish before the next season. Tilling and decomposing not only take longer, but it reduces yield and the tillings can add other fungi that outcompete the natural mycchorizae, making your next crop a season late and less able to intake nutrients efficiently, which increases the cost of fertilizer.

Fertilizer runoff is what causes the yellow/green algae blooms in runoff ditches and holding ponds. That high of a concentration of nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, etc are bad for the environment in that concentration, on a similar level to the waste holding areas of a pig farm. It's a net negative for plant and animal life, including humans in the vicinity.

given the wildly diverging experiences people report, this is my assumption also. at least to my knowledge, I've never received a counterfeit item from amazon, but there are also certain things I avoid buying. for example, I would probably not buy lipo cells, especially not from a third-party merchant. they are trivial to rewrap and poor QC can literally start fires.

would you mind sharing what kinds of things (or just categories of things) you are buying to see such a high rate of counterfeits?

In a quite literal sense, how?

Much of the water being discussed is in rivers and streams, which is taken as it passes through the land that uses it. It is only useful if it is in that exact waterway. There is no such thing as a market rate for water in a dry river.

If you turn it into an open market there are all sorts of weird complications. E.g. ranch A is upstream of Ranch B. Under a market system ranch A can use all of the water in the stream and just pay for it. Ranch B now doesn’t get that option since there is no more water in the stream. Rancher B can buy more water, but what good is buying water in a river that doesn’t go through your land.

So then you get to a rights based system. Rancher B has been watering his fields for 100 years, and rancher A comes along and says he wants to water his fields too. That’s fine, he just has to lay claim to whatever rancher B isn’t using.

The rights system would work fine except that nature won’t cooperate. We divided up rights for 100 units of water fair and square, so what do we do when we discover that we can only get 90 units of water.

Do you all take a 10% cut? Does the newest guy take the full cut (how it works now)?

You say it’s not complex, but millions of lives and industries worth trillions all rely on it. The current solution is a known flawed treaty that is almost 100 years old based on legal concepts that are far older. If it was so simple it would have been solved back then.

Tractors run on fuel, which is burned and costs money. It is significantly less negative impact to burn the field so the the nutrients are returned to the soil rather than put fuel in the air to do something that takes longer to break down into a bioavailable form and can lead to fungii that out-compete the natural healthy mycchorizal colony in the soil.

This is a joke I’m not getting, right?

Somebody is forgetting that comparison and arithmetic operators are an interface on a type, and that almost every popular language (even many that are ostensibly “statically typed”) have ubiquitous nightmare scenarios surrounding implicit casts.

And of course, it’s also common where data comes from an i/o source and then is magically assigned a type by an ORM or deserializer or framework helper.

Or when working with large projects with lots of modularity and abstract interfaces, where the names of parameters, methods, and members become increasingly generic.

People work around these issues and learn how to avoid them with good practice, but they happen every day.

>Cryptographic measures seem promising in this regard

Have you not seen the absolute mess of stable coins? Tether has 'printed' the equivalent of 86 billion dollars from nothing.

>There should be hard accountability on anyone who can create money.

The bigger issue is a lack of accountability on the political systems. Most of which have been rife with corruption.

They print dollars and give it away with 0 accountability of whether economic value is returned for what is being printed.

High speed rail, national broadband, national healthcare, upgraded powerlines, renewable infrastructure, desal plants. Food for kids in schools, shelter for the homeless, high rise infrastructure (rather than shitty suburban shits that bankrupt cities in 50 years).

The above are effective, efficient and provide multiple dividends for the initial capital. Yet are viewed as socialist policies frankly and hence political suicide.

The Government can't even recognize how cryptocurrencies are by itself a negative sum game and hence should be heavily taxed or made illegal.

I've never engaged in this debate before but I'll try this once. We'll see if I regret it.

From what I understand, abortions happen. Period. People get rid of unwanted children before they are viable. The question is not whether or not this should happen, because it will happen -- it happens all the time, even when it's strictly illegal with severe punishment. It's a tragedy, but it happens a lot and apparently we can't control it.

The question is whether -- once it happens -- we want it to be safe, above board, with medical professionals informed. Or if we want it to happen in a moldy basement with a coat hanger, at significant risk to the woman involved.
