> Then why was it necessary to close the lake to students in the first place?

To protect salamanders who at the time lived in the lake. Even during draught, the university did periodically filled water in to keep them alive. That biome upstream got restored between original closing is super cool, but does not negate anything.

Also, students are not 2 years old. Overwhelming majority of them is able to process the above without having emotional meltdown over sandpit.

> If your logic is "the university is the owner and can do whatever they like", pretty soon students will be living in pods like one of those Japanese hotels. The university supposedly has the welfare of its students as one of its priorities.

This is quite massive logical leap from "university is entitled to close lake or part of campus despite single fraternity having made sand hill years ago". Students wont and did not had any lasting trauma from not having lake accessible.

> The university supposedly has the welfare of its students as one of its priorities (and gets tax breaks and donations on that basis).

This is in no way contradictory with single fraternity loosing their sand hill or artificial lake not being available to students in general.

> Yes it would. You can say that water in a drought would be a bigger expense and only allocated to the highest priority uses, but per this thread they apparently found it worthwhile to keep the golf course sprinklers running.

The complain that university should have stop wasting water on golf course is perfectly valid. They should. That does not imply that closing lake for salamanders or during that draught is an outrage.

Yes we want raises that beat inflation. But I think what we really want is a bigger share of the profits a company makes without them raising prices. Unfortunately, Wall Street demands ever growing profit margins and revenues. Meaning that whenever wage increase, they simply do their part to cancel them out by raising their prices as well.

I get that some companies have slim profit margins and can't do this easily, but others can clearly choose to pay their employees more. They just choose not to. This is an ideological thing and not an impossibility. See Gravity Payments.
Printing $4T+ into asset markets didn't cause inflation, but printing $0.4T+ into peasant hands did?

Just to add that if you keep and maintain a car long enough (Around 40 years), you never have to pay tax again regardless of how polluting it may be!

Buying an historical car is very cost effective - easy to fix yourself, no tax, etc
Your car has gone the wrong way down an express lane some distance, and deactivated when a semi trailer traveling 75mph in the opposite direction is detected. There is no shoulder, and it's stopping distance plus yours is greater than the remaining distance between you (.1 mile is way insufficient)
You are always required to drive the car. Autopilot does not replace an attentive human driver, there is no excuse for being distracted or spacing out.
What are the alternatives? Better weapons, better ad targeting systems, better gambling hidden behind a veneer of gaming on mobile? We can look at where our government and our society currently allocates money and find that the allocations looks bad enough that even building a bigger particle accelerator that might not find anything is an improvement overall. As a singular species, I think we would be better for going down that route given the average of what would be given up.

Problem is that humanity is not unified for our own betterment, so that ends up being a bad metric to judge actions upon. I think you are right in the outcome, it would mean losing influence, and even if we get funding it'll likely be diverted from the areas we least want it diverted from. You're probably right and I find that unsatisfactory.
You realize that grocery stores have some of the smallest margins, on average, of any business at around 2.2%? [1]

What do you expect them to reduce that to?

With margins that low, don't you think they are already very focused on operating with the absolute minimum number of employees they need?

A friend of mine managed a very busy grocery store for years. It's an extraordinarily difficult business.

Many grocery store chains treat their employees very well, they provide good salaries and training programs. It's one of the few businesses left where you can start out as a bagger and work your way up to senior manager, with all costs paid by the store.

Other than inventory cost, this is their highest cost.

Would you have them change it?

> Raising wages with Consumer Price Index (CPI) is dangerous, because it could cause spiraling inflation!

Inflation isn't homogenous [1]. Geographically, but also across different income brackets.

In a stable price environment, it makes sense for both workers and employers to negotiate wages market to market. America has historically had stable prices across the relevant time periods. We don't, presently, which is causing wage negotiations to start paying attention to a new data source. That the data wasn't considered before isn't some grand scheme or conspiracy; it's just that it wasn't the most relevant component.

Why are browser vendors ignoring PTC? V8 chalks it up to two main reasons:

* It makes it more difficult to understand during debugging how execution arrived at a certain point since the stack contains discontinuities, and

There are medical procedures parents must decide to pursue or not, many are voluntary. Should I get my toddler's fremulum snipped even if there's no guarantee it helps their speech? Should teeth be extracted to help straighten out other teeth even if it results in weeks of pain? Are you saying that straight teeth are of more value than religious identity?
There are many hard choices a parent must make; I think circumcision is singled out because it bears cultural and religious value but no clear medical value. So let's get down to the core of this discussion: ritual circumcision bears religious and cultural value and that's pretty much it. So long as it's done safely, of course. If you want to debate the biological merits of circumcision, you're missing the religious or cultural value.
> What is the downside of leaving it until the age of 18 when they can decide to get it done if they want?
My understanding is that if you wait until 18, the procedure is much more involved/more difficult, more in terms of pain and in terms of health risk. Judaism puts health above all other factors, whether it's driving to seek medical attention on shabbat, or not increasing the risk of infection in newborns. Oral suction goes against the highest Jewish principle. If circumcision caused harm - bodily or psychologically - Jews (or most would not practice it. I'm not sure I understand the physical or psychical harm done

The article mentions new build developments. A property developer must have approval to build, there is no legal right to build on acquired land. Approval comes from the local council, according to various local criteria (like, are local schools at capacity?). Therefore, they could conceivably require that property developers must obey these new rules to be granted permission ("do you agree to only sell to people who don't already own a home?").

Also this article is weird because phase 2 for the LHC is under way. Currently run 3 is happening and just started but this article talks like the beam upgrade isn't happening.

Also particle physics has gone far more than 10 years between major discoveries.

I'm gonna guess this author is yet another person who needs to stop whining about supersymmetry not happening. Like the only point the article makes (but makes it obliquely) is that supersymmetry is no longer a good motivator of higher energy beams. However, all our theories still break down at that level. So there's still a crap ton of things to explore.

I'm somewhat concerned that Science would go this click-bait with an article. The mood is hardly a nightmare.
Oh, they were definitely different people.

I was thinking more in terms of the Neanderthals he was talking about later in the article, rather than the million-year-old ones.

Here's some actual data I just pulled from the report, showing number of incidents when using a level 3-5 system, sorted in descending order and then alphabetically by reporting entity. Despite having the greatest number of FSD users, Tesla has only a single reported accident when FSD was engaged. Other level 3-5 systems with much smaller installed bases are doing far worse. The data for level 2 is further below.

# of incidents, levels 3-5:
Waymo 62
Transdev 34
Cruise 23
GM 16
Zoox 12
Argo 10
Ford 7
May Mobility 3
Mercedes Benz 3
Pony.ai 3
Easymile 2
Toyota 2
WeRide 2
Apple 1
Beep 1
Chrysler 1
Hyundai 1
Local Motors 1
NVYA 1
Navistar 1
Porsche 1
Robert Bosch 1
Robotic Rsrch 1
Tesla 1
TuSimple 1

Here's the level 2 data -- number of incidents, again sorted in descending order and then alphabetically by reporting entity. The biggest caveat with these figures is that the NHTSA does NOT know how the rate of adoption & usage of level 2 technologies varies by reporting entity. It's likely that Tesla and Honda have the greatest rate of adoption & usage of level 2 technologies, but we don't really know:

# of incidents, level 2:
Tesla 273 <-- figure quoted by the OP
Honda 90
Subaru 10
Ford 5
Toyota 4
BMW 3
APTIV 1
Hyundai 1
Lucid 1
Porsche 1
VW 1

EDIT: After a quick look at the report and the data, my take is that it's way too early to reach conclusions other than non-Tesla level 3-5 systems appear to have more accidents despite being used in many fewer vehicles. Shame on the Washington Post for publishing such an unjustifiably alarmist piece!

The grass is always greener for sure, but none-the-less software engineering and tech offers a very high quality of life with significant earning potential and a ton of flexibility.
In a sense the GIL (or actually GVL as it's called in current ruby versions) has already been removed for ruby.

It's only the original MRI Ruby that still has it several over Ruby implementations already removed it. e.g. JRuby.

Concurrent-Ruby[1] is probably a good place to start if you want to work with GVL free ruby on JRuby. It's quite well supported and is currently used by Rails.

If you just want async or non-blocking IO I'd take a look at the Async Gem[2]. It looks pretty solid in Ruby > 3.0 and it's been invited by Matz to be part of the stdlib, which I think is a pretty good endorsement.

For MRI itself I don't think it's likely they'll ever remove the GVL. Ractors are probably a better solution for CPU concurrency in the long run, although I think they're pretty experimental currently.

Unless Tesla's Autopilot is far more reliable than the rest of the industry, so Tesla's drivers use it more. That cannot be inferred from the current data but Tesla does communicate this figure for their vehicles.

US, Canada, and some parts of Europe could also have a similar "silent" perspective... things will get worse, buy they'll be able to maintain a competitive advantage (so relatively speaking it could get better for them) at feeding people and keeping them healthy (and helping them live longer - don't undermine future monopolies on real anti-aging and medical techs... if you're a 140+ IQ individual and have a change of living 20+ yrs in another country, you will emigrate there), so all the world's best brains will "drain" towards them, giving them even more advantages.

I like WeMod[0], which is a unified GUI for trainers. It supports a lot of games, handles a lot of the heavy lifting (e.g. starting the game in offline-only mode for multiplayer games), shows any extra steps that you might have to take for a specific game, and the developers are very quick at putting out trainers for new games and updating trainers for older games when needed. You can even see the queue of the games that they're working on supporting/updating.

I also like the Xbox Gamebar widget for those games that are hard to alt-tab out of.

Yeah, because there are no corrupt middlemen and grifters in the crypto industry, are there? It's all honest and upstanding citizens doing their best to make freedom a reality for us all. If they happen to "lose" a few billion in the process, you have to ask: shouldn't we be willing to take a few risks for freedom? It's really quite selfish of all these freedom-haters to complain when their money vanishes (after the freedom-fighting whales have cashed out, of course).
I am sorry but you are wrong about road tax - the name "road tax" never existed in the law, the tax that became VED was always legally called something else. Calling a fee required to drive your vehicle on the road a "road tax" is a perfectly legitimate use of the English language.

In all other regards you are correct though, there is VAT to be paid on electricity, and electric vehicles must be registered for tax even though they don't have to pay.

The phrase I hang on to is something thrown out by someone I used to work with - "Agile isn't an excuse not to do things". Too many organisation use "we're doing Agile" as an excuse not to do any design thinking and instead "just code".

What Agile actually is (in the most general terms) is a different order of doing things that increases the amount of knowledge you have when you do it, and reduces the chances of wasting your work. In my example, you still do the design work, but rather than doing it for the whole system at once you do it for the piece you're about to do, and then implement that piece[1].

But yes, it's nice that the internet has discovered Waterfall!

[1] Although many systems, even in an agile world, do require a degree of up front "whole system" architecture and/or design thinking.

Programmers seem to think that code is somehow its own documentation. It is not, no matter how readable it is.

Documentation is there to provide structure to the reader (no, the class hierarchy in your code and your build files do not do that) and to eschew the unimportant details. Code has a lot of unimportant details that provide cognitive load when reading it, but do not give insight. Documentation is about transferring insight.

These are very different things.
