The psychologist producing the report (a custody evaluation) is not the same person or organization providing therapy. I'm not sure, but I got the impression there are ethical rules against it.

> but the costs of therapeutic interventions can run into tens of thousands of pounds.

More like hundreds of thousands. Courts have no limit on what they can order and they often order expensive, private therapeutic schools. In my case, I estimate about $150k per year in therapeutic expenses has been ordered by the family court presiding over my case. Mostly in the form of a few private schools. I'm in support of almost all of it, fwiw.

> Parent: "No, I was actually hurt by this person."

There's nothing wrong with talking about being hurt by your spouse to other adults (though- family courts may order that you can't!). The problem here is talking about it with your children in an inappropriate fashion, such that it damages their parental relationships.

Doubly so when the events never occurred, or when the parent accusing is actually the parent doing the abusing.
Yup. Unlike psychiatrists, psychologists are not MDs.
Incidentally, a continuously updated average price of a burger (et al.) in different cities would be a valuable data set on its own.

I believe flybrand had to look up the word and then just wanted to save time for other folks (like me) who might also have needed to do so :)
I'm a long time reader but I decided to bite at this comment. This isn't going to be a well received comment but here it goes. My partner was going to do the whole parental alimentation at the end of the relationship, multiple DVO and restraining orders but she was a gasped at what I did. I just packed my bags and move in and started a new family with a new partner. You have to accept that once a relationship has broken down, there are no rules or obligations that either of you need to follow. Yes, it sucks for the kids but if it really was for the kids then there would be a incentive to work-out the dichotomy. The problem is now theirs to pick up the pieces like yourself and live the rest of your life, I owe nothing to them and vis versa.

I did recently bump into her new partner during the stroll with my new family which he confided that she was going to do everything in her power to destroy me financially and emotionally but didn't think I would do what I did.
> Do you work in tech? Like writing code?

Yes and yes.

Perhaps with the exception of showing the source code, these things we're discussing are things that used to be quite common place, i.e. you could buy and own a piece of software with one upfront payment and it didn't track you.

I have very hard time believing that things that were the norm a short time ago are suddenly now impossible or prohibitively difficult.

I can understand a company pursuing things like a subscription model and expansive tracking. It's potentially more profitable, just like making it very hard replace in iPhone batter is more profitable. However, it doesn't make it right and is one of reasons a lot of developers don't like to pay for modern software. Nobody likes being fleeced and developers are in the best position to call bullshit on software.

In terms of getting new features. I will (and have) pay for a new version of a piece of software a useful feature appears. Most new features in subscription based software are just fluff designed to justify the ongoing monthly charge.
What Is a Principal Engineer
Stuxnet was a reckless operation concocted by a small group of American and Israel spies and hackers who thought the whole thing would remain secret forever. The recklessness involved setting a precedent by targeting industrial control systems for physical destruction, and also the release of the package to spread over the internet with no external controls. See (May 2021):

https://verveindustrial.com/resources/blog/what-is-stuxnet/

> "This second Stuxnet variant likely did not propagate from an initial infection on a susceptible PLC or controller, but rather gained access to one commodity Windows system through the use of zero-day exploits. From that one infected commodity Windows host, the malware moved laterally from one Windows box to another across the unsegmented network."

Once it had been done once, similar attacks followed by other nation-states:

> "From a historical perspective, the Stuxnet worm signaled that well-equipped, nation-state-sponsored actors possessed advanced capabilities that would set the stage for more serious cyber-physical attacks such as those in Ukraine, Estonia, and Saudi Arabia."

I suppose one positive effect has been the upgrading of security for everything relying on industrial controls systems and PLCs, from nuclear reactors to railways to water supply systems.

This has been one of my “shower thoughts”..

If jet fuel is very efficient and dense for the more demanding take off and low altitude legs of the flight, we aren’t there concepts that do a hybrid of jet fuel and electric powered flights that use the electric propellers only where they are efficient, leaving the existing system for the more challenging tasks like take off?

> The primary goal is to keep children with their parents/parent wherever possible

It doesn't sound like children that are taken away in these cases end in the foster system, they are just taken to the other parent (who may be abusive).
Is there any proof anything is anything but a mechanistic model and actually has consciousness?

Is there any definition of consciousness which even brings it into the realm of things for which there could in principal be evidence distinguishing it's presence from its absence?

The usual argument about intelligence usually retreats into it being a property entirely separate from the observable universe and yet still has it as something for which people demand “evidence” of it existing anywhere they don't assume without evidence that it exists before being willing to accept things equivalent in observable qualities to be actually similar.

Lilium is a shady company

First, it's people without even most basic aeronautic backround designing an aircraft.

Second, the number of flaws with their scheme being pointed by experts is so huge they cannot possibly get certified without throwing out everything, and redesigning completely from scratch.

Third, they finally hired somebody with the background, but so far nobody seen any change from "submarine ramen startup," to a serious company happening. Unlike with SpaceX, where Elon promptly yielded to professional engineers shutting down his fantasies like an SSTO design, 3D printing the whole rocket, or developing an ion engine to replace chemical one for last stages.

Fourth, they lash out on all criticism with "you have no vision," it's "aircraft 2.0," and similar dismissal.

Fifth, they courted investors with physically unachievable performance figures.

To me it's very clear, the company is heading the way of "HTML supercomputer"

It is. Religion is faith based. Science is evidence based. They are opposites. But people can be contradictory. They can believe both are the same without realizing it. You are such a person.

The premise of religion is to believe in things without evidence. Science is more complex, but at a simple level you can say the premise of science is to believe things that have strong evidence. Opposites. Everyone knows this on an intuitive level. Let us assume for arguments sake that religions are all true.

Let's take Christianity for example. If Christianity was evidence based and very likely to be true... Why isn't Christianity called a science?

Why isn't biology called a religion? What is the fundamental difference in categorization if both biology and Christianity (or any other religion you want to put in place of Christianity) are real concepts?

What is it in our subconscious that is causing us to categorize some things as science and other things as religion when both are true and real aspects of reality? Why does this categorization exist? If physics is true and biology is true and Christianity is true, how come only Christianity falls into the religion categorization and physics and biology fall into science?

The answer is trivial. It is because on some level all humans, including you know that religion is "less true" then science. You can see the difference. You know that mythological beliefs like walking on water or coming back from the dead are on Shakey less evidence based grounds.

Everything in science has a high bar for verification. We trust it because it lets our engines run and our planes fly, and every human knows that religious claims have a much lower bar and are less trust worthy.

Again my claim is that the fact that you can categorize aspects of the world as either religion or science, it shows that at a subconscious level you are aware of this dichotomy even when you believe both science and religion are real.

So what I'm saying is you already know that science and religion are contradictory. But your surface level beliefs and behavior are masking this subconciouse awareness.
My experience here is that courts have no way to decipher truth from fiction, and make ruling based on who spends more money and who lies better.

Legal processes -- with lawyers -- inflame conflict and turn things adversarial.

From the article:

I don’t get the hate. I don’t use it often, but when I found it useful for a project it was really nice to have around (orchestrating Kafka/zookeeper, a queue, 3 nodejs services, Postgres, and an angular-based front end).

I suppose I could have kept them in a monorepo and used terraform to deploy like I do with smaller projects. K8s makes lifecycle and scaling management so trivial though, and that’s kind of nice with a large service oriented architecture.

I also set up some nice blue-green deployment patterns, canary releasing patterns, and other things which I’m not even aware of how to do properly with my current tools for smaller projects. I’m admittedly not competent with dev ops, I just found k8s useful in ways I haven’t found other things useful.

We will know soon enough. My guess is that A16 is designed with TSMC 3nm in mind, that is why ( rumour ) only the new iPhone Pro will get A16, and iPhone 14 will stick to A15.
Thanks for this great reply.

Ironic thing though - that 10% most severe poverty mostly lies on the African continent, exactly the place which could stand to benefit the most from China’s intervening, and of course before that it was Chinese people who were in great poverty.

Now I’m as aghast at the militant astro-turfing by that country on these forums as anyone else (and much worse inside), but there I’m not so pessimistic, perhaps seeing their own positive change effected on an outside group can cause some kind of re-evaluation for the culture.
No chance. The weather and access to nature make it a paradise compared to most of the country.
Children are malleable and relying on their testimony encourages parents to manipulate them. Placing the children with the most manipulative parent isn't in their best interest.

There are so, so many cases of children testifying against a parent while living under the care of another, then recanting years later as adults.

I don't have a good answer here because I think often the experts are unqualified and give bad advice, but it's important to acknowledge the depth of the problem

This is kind of cool, but I'm skeptical that these sort of planes will ever be practical as much more than rich people toys. The power density of even speculative near-future batteries favors small airplanes and short flights. This doesn't really mesh into the existing aviation industry, so proponents of these small electric planes usually propose creating new markets entirely; e.g. Uber for Helicopters. But I'm pretty skeptical that laws will allow regular operation of these in residential neighborhoods for long, if at all.

Also, where is the vertical stabilizer and rudder? I assume they're using differential thrust in powered flight, but what if they lose power? Can this plane be controlled in a glide?

Same problem as all hybrid power systems; weight and complexity. You can't get away with generalist designs in an aircraft the way you can with a land or water vehicle. Carrying around the weight and drag penalties of an unused engine would more than detract from any efficiency gain with an electric auxiliary.
I spent 10 hours a day on computers when I wasn't at school during middle school. Started at the end of primary school and continued until now. I pass the letter-reading tests at the GP when I'm not too tired, so I think I have pretty good vision.

You wouldn't use London.time in your query in a script though, because it returns multiple answers. You'd use London/gb or London/ca.time

A pre-nup could handle the best interest of the children far better than a court.

Best interest of the children are to minimize parental conflict. No matter the outcome, a legal process inflames conflict.

Arab countries have this right. There is a strong presumption that kids go with mother up to some age, and father beyond. The rules are clear and simple, barring exceptional circumstances. Some of the Scandinavian countries do to. Barring exceptional circumstances, there is a presumption of 50/50 custody and child support is capped.

There is nothing to fight over, and fighting dies down. The US high stakes system, where child support is astronomical and where everything is up for fighting over, is the biggest loser here.

Similar story here. I started with X10 and upgraded to Insteon because of the X10 reliability & communication problems. I never bought a hub because I did not like being dependent on Internet services to control my house. I do have a few PLMs and a bunch of remote control units that I'm not using, and probably will never use, so I'm going to list them all on eBay! Thanks for the tip!

Insteon made great hardware, but I recently discovered Lutron Caseta and now I like them better. Their switches do a much better job with LED lighting. (No flickering.)
An alternative approach would be:

I think it’s a combination of adrenaline, focus, and ignoring the unimportant.

For example, I can do this in the boxing ring. Been training for 10 or so years, never competed. Most obvious when sparring with a beginner. While they’re just trying to survive, I’m fighting on the level of tactics and strategy. The technique for punches and footwork is automatic, and in those split seconds between the opponents punches I can see where the openings are, how they’re flowing, which punches I need to throw so certain openings show up, where to step to drive the opponent towards the ropes, etc.

You really have time to think and analyze the situation during a 3 minute round. Feels almost like playing chess.

Adrenaline really is a fun drug. When I was super into downhill mountain biking in high school, flying down a single track inches away from trees at 50km/h, yet you have time to notice every tiny detail on the trail. Every loose pebble and tiny twist of the trail, texture on every tree root … feels like you notice and process orders of magnitude more information per second than you can at walking speeds.

> I think if it survives, the crypto community is in for a reckoning much like 2000.

You very well may be right. But the most memorable headline for me from that era is this Barron's article:

https://twitter.com/JeffBezos/status/1447403828505088011

If Bitcoin is the equivalent of Yahoo, what are the equivalents of Amazon and Google?

People love to use Pets.com as a symbol of excess for that era, but it might not be a great example to use to make that point.

At its highest point, Pets.com had a valuation of approximately $300 million (of which ~30% was owned by Amazon). Compare that to the ~$3 billion that PetSmart paid for Chewey.com five years ago, and Chewy.com's current market cap of $12 billion (down ~75% from its high).

It's a bit ironic that the pets.com domain redirects to petsmart.com, given that the PetSmart LBO eight years ago, and its acquisition of Chewy five years ago, and the Chewy IPO three years ago—PetSmart sold a minority interest Chewy to protect it from PetSmart's creditors and to pay down debt—were all motivated in large part by the fact that online retail has massively supplanted in-person retail throughout the economy.

Was Pets.com overvalued? Or did it just run out of runway before it could displace the incumbents? Is Crypto going to zero? Or is it simply that new technologies take time to find their footing?
