I don't understand why this was downvoted, I have noted the same. Many pro-Putin posts go around, pro-Ukrain posts get loads of hate comments and there are also lots of fake news posts trying to spread doubt about US/Nato intentions.

Republicans abandoned people who are in favor of abortion. Republicans abandoned liberal Republicans like Bill Weld. Every party abandons people. Democrats consistently hold majority views on a wide range of policy issues and consistently have more votes in national elections. Gerrymandering so that urban centers lose their voting power and other election rigging techniques is what is holding back Democratic policies. The Democratic Party should not abandon its highly popular core principles to cater to the deranged apportionment that the U.S. has.
My understanding of this, is that the signal intensity required to be detectable on earth means that messages would have to be intentionally beamed at earth with ridiculous energies. It seems unlikely that any significant fraction of civilizations would be doing this toward any sufficient fraction of sky.

If we were trying to detect a duplicate civilization to ourselves, (assuming our signals had propagated further than ~100 light years) we're certainly not producing signals of sufficient intensity that we could detect our own signals with the detection equipment we're using.

It also seems like there's likely to be a lot of pressures on a civilization to become more energy efficient for a long time before progressing to expensive technologies like dyson spheres and whatnot. I still think such things are our best bet for detecting ET civilizations.

If you're interested in this, then you might be interested in "The Dig", a recent dramatisation of the discovery of the Anglo-Saxon burial treasures at Sutton Hoo.

In addition to the discovery of the treasures themselves, the real-life story of the finders, Edith Pretty and Basil Brown, is also of interest.

No, it may not. Perhaps occasionally it does. That is a bug that you must fix - a pipeline that takes even 30 minutes is horrifically slow.

All laws cater to the exceptions because if a behavior was the cultural norm there wouldn’t be a law against it.

Your solution has the same level of bureaucracy but delays it and even adds, essentially, an addition licensure so it’s not really the bureaucracy but the timing.
This YouTube video is the best example of a Shepard Tone I've heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsBanpBQj0k

In a dystopian way it's the ever rising desire of intensity and panic for the economy to eternally grow.

Similar to the visuals of this eagle's wing and lion's fur: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e5/34/b3/e534b3beef8e2e2d5765... continually flowing outward, but the overall look staying the same. Together they have become how I think of human generations ; forever birth, aging, death of individual people outflowing to the isolated edges of old age, but the overall structure holding. Differnt to a river made of individual water drops or history repeating like a spiral.

I skimmed the linked document and I didn't see the actual steps, did I miss those? Can you give me a page?

There are again tables about number of steps etc. I find that ridiculous.

It would be funny if the regulators respond by combining the steps though. Instead of 1. book sanitary checks 2. pay sanitary check fees, maybe it can be solved in one quick step of 1. booking sanitary checks and pay check fees

Your second point reminded me of an interesting different between US government services and German government services. Not for businesses but for individuals. Here we have, since the 1980, “peoples offices”, either run buy the municipality or the county (never both) to address most common in-person government interactions for folks. This allows not only consolidating multiple interactions in one visit but also increases the geographic density of the offices as they have a lot more visitors.

The services they offer range from registering your apartment (doubles as voter registration), getting IDs, passport, and driver licenses, changing the registration of your car, getting proof of (the absence) of your criminal record.
For many of these services, they have delegated or assigned authority from whatever government agency is responsible while for some they merely operate as a service center.

I wish more of this could be done online, but it’s certainly nice I don’t have to go to 15 different places to do all of that.

i don't want to be too philosophical about this, but:

i love history and it's lessons, but at the same time i prefer the future.

we tend to cling to the past, historical lessons, historical figures, but this usually hides our own insecurity about the future. i think there is a lot less to be learned from our past that can improve our future than many people believe. but we continue digging up our past, hoping to learn more about ancestors, when in fact we simply don't know the future, and this scares us.

Of course the difference is: Does the company believe that "doing good" contributes to their bottom line or not? A company that does will do good, a company that doesn't will not. You could then realize that this is true about humans in general. In fact, you could replace "company" with "human" and your point would still apply, making us assume that everyone is evil and only out for themselves, and always assume bad faith, since the same drives control humans as well.

The song reminded me of a much more recent one, Jonathan Coulton's "First of May", which I decided to look up the inspiration of.

From https://wiki.jonathancoulton.com/First_of_May:

> * The chorus is a variation on an old folk/schoolyard rhyme, "Hooray, Hooray, the first of May! Outdoor fucking starts today!" In an April 10, 2007 blog post, JoCo credited John Hodgman with the idea for the song, and mentions that the modern dirty rhyme derives from an older, traditional dirty rhyme. Commenters Mike and Bry tracked the reference down to a poem in Another Almanac of Words at Play by Willard R. Espy.

> * The poem which Espy cites, in turn, derives from ancient Pagan customs celebrating fertility on the eve of Beltane, the Celtic name for the month of May.

So, there's the exact cultural reference? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beltane

Incidentally, May is also International Masturbation Month for entirely unrelated reasons.

Many of the counted steps are required state wide, and not in the ambit of the municipality.
State licensing processes for various Barbers, and so on.

This is the state legislature's doing.

Others are standard nationwide, and not going away:

Setting up a corporation, or LLC for example.
Or filing for a "doing business as" d/b/a name.

I am unsympathetic to counting these as a step.

I cannot get worked up about building permits.
Here is why:

This is a national regime, and most states operate under the "International Building Code", and similar Electrical and other codes, and the requirements there, for commercial structures are often based on factual risks and deaths from lack of proper construction.

That means every building needs to be up to code when renovated in various categories: electrical, plumbing, heating/ventilation, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire code compliance, structurally, and more recently for energy code (typically insulation and heating/cooling related). These are essential for safety and health, and for economic well being in the long run. Yes these take capital. That can be 5 to 10 permits and inspections there, and those requirements are not going away, nationwide.

There can be other municipal department participation for curb cuts, street access, sidewalk access and so on. Deal with it.

Zoning is a municipal level, and that requires City Council and Planning Board participation, and not in control of the administrators operating the regulations. This is political level of regulation, and requires political effort to modify, typicall not in the ambit of administrators.

Other "steps" in which all fees and taxes to a municipality need to be up to date are simply good practice.

- No action if you are overdue on your real estate taxes, or have outstanding orders for compliance with health or building codes.

That is mere enforcement of existing municipal regulations. Get up to date on all of your obligations.
It's logical for any entity to attempt to capture more resources. Thus a government wants more government. Bigger budget, more salaries, more bureaucracy therefore.
There is no one in the world that is overweight because they eat too much unsweetened oatmeal with nothing else added for taste.

An observation, it seems a lot of the big theories in physics are mostly math and thin on observational data. I understand the necessity. It's pretty hard to observe a black hole and run tests on one after all.

It took us to the space age to start getting a lot of practical observational proof of relativity for example. Now its all confirmed relativity for now but for a lot of these other things we are sorely lacking. Hawking radiation is a good example of that as you pointed out. How do you even get observational data on hawking radiation without the starship Enterprise anyways?
> Every small fee is going to be some genius deciding to stay at their desk job and just take a salary rather than creating a couple of million dollars of value for their community.

I feel you are being dogmatic here rather than evidence based. The markets for restaurants in a given neighbourhood is rather static - and roughly zero-sum in terms of earnings, but _not_ in terms of quality. If you encourage some "fragile genius" who can't follow instructions for fire safety, food hygiene, payroll accounting or plumbing to open a restaurant, you will a vibrant mix of more unsafe restaurants, unhygienic food, unpaid employees and clogged sewers, all of which are a burden on the rest of society.

Maximizing shareholder value is a management philosophy that became increasingly prevalent between 1975 and 2000. In both management ("What we should value and pursue") and case law ("What you will be sued and found guilty for not doing").

Why did it become popular? Because there were a huge number of inefficient companies at the time that were continuing business as usual under some guise of "We think this is best." While Japanese companies ate their lunches by working harder, faster, better, and smarter.

Holding management to shareholder value -- and sueing the heck out of them when they didn't focus on it -- was a more objective measurement of effectiveness.

After 2000, it became clear that the metric had become the target, and was now being pursued with a myopicness that was to the detriment of the company.

The idea that entrepreneurs are marginalized in America might just be the funniest motivation for a non-profit I’ve ever seen.

Anonymity is a lot easier in general if money isn't involved because you don't need any connection to a bank or a taxing agency. (Yes, there's crypto blah blah as an option but that's not very practical for just collecting income.)

This is the classic definition of a solution looking for a problem though.

I don't know about "no need for intermediaries" because of course you need someone who creates and maintains this blockchain, since blockchains are not present in nature (perhaps that is a decentralized group of people but the blockchain and its maintainers are then the intermediary between the two parties) so let's focus on the no physical key part.

If the primary benefit of blockchain is that only the registered owner of the house can get access to it, on that blockchain, that's a pretty weak feature and actually pretty shit. I would like my family to also get access to my house, as well as perhaps other people like houseguests or a maid etc. Keys seem to work pretty well, nobody is pounding down the door to buy "smart locks" as far as I can tell.

I'm not saying blockchain won't provide transformative utility, it might, but it probably won't look like what we imagine it will (existing paradigms, but on a blockchain).

There is no known process to make more U235. There is a process to refine U238 and extract primarily the U235 in concentrations sufficient for neutron chain reaction.

There is a process to create P238 via breeder reactors using U235, so could say “create” in that circumstance.

Bitcoin as a process can be considered “discovered”. The fundamental method doesn’t need any intention behind it — intention is irrelevant. It’s the first solution to the Byzantine Generals Problem. Any knowledge work involves discovery connected to the forces of nature.

Bitcoin is fundamentally bound to energy. It has a direct connection with energy, in that its value is derived from energy instead of the word of man.

Dubliners is absolutely beautiful. It's a collection of short stories, which helps to make it accessible to casual readers. There's a feeling of real depth and empathy in some of the stories.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is also relatively accessible, though I didn't enjoy it as much as Dubliners.

I read Ulysses when I was in my 20s. Parts of it are fantastic, but for significant portions of the book I barely understood what was going on. Maybe I should revisit it.

It's interesting right! But it turns out elephants have about a third of the cortical neurons as humans, presumably they need more brain capacity to handle being enormous.

Orca, on the other hand, have more cortical neurons than we do, and much larger brains in general. Part of that is clearly that they have an incredible sense we don't, the ability to make three-dimensional maps out of sound, but orca are also remarkably complex beings and I don't have too much trouble believing that they're about as smart as us, just in a very different way that doesn't involve tools.

Also it's probably educational that the "peasant good" that exploded is actually fuel, which has far reaching consequences, and zero rationale for getting more expensive.

What that did was vacuum a lot of money off the market, additionally causing compensatory raised prices because there's an excuse.

The market never works on supply and demand, not even money, it works on increasing prices every other excuse to the maximum level unless it's forced not to.
This is a great perspective that has allowed me to navigate society effectively
