> Putting people in prison is expensive, it isn't free.

Of course, it isn't free. It is cheaper than what we are currently accomplishing through the homeless industrial complex ($10k/month just for a place to park a derelict RV at a recent project), so let's not kid ourselves that prison is more expensive than the alternatives: it isn't. Someone inside also can get treatments and will find it much harder to acquire drugs (fentanyl is much more expensive in prison and very cheap outside of prison).

> But you're arguing we don't have means to do that.

No, we are arguing about where that responsibility should be taken: when they want to go to rehab (which they may never want), or before they actually start doing drugs.

> People are already on the street addicted to fentanyl, you can either leave them there or the state can try to expend money/resources getting them off of the street and dealing with that addiction.

We have fewer options than that. Usually its a combination of both: the state (actually the city) expends money to deal with the addiction, but they are back on the street in a couple of weeks because they want more drugs and we can't actually force them to let us deal with their addiction (no criminalization = no judge to force rehab, of course).

> If you think prison is effective rehab and that it's worth the increased cost

Prison is cheaper than what we are spending on the problem right now. We've passed that point a few years ago.
That doesn't seem like holding incompatible religious beliefs at the same time ("… possible to hold scientific and religious beliefs at the same time…"). That seems like picking one religious belief over another, on an ad hoc basis.

Interesting results as always, but on the salary side I find it really hard to believe that on the executive level (C suite/VP) the median annual salary is just 6k bigger than that of engineering managers. I'd imagine not a lot of executives respond to this survey so that probably skews the results.

Sure, I'm happy to let the decriminalization experiment play out somewhere else (e.g. in Oregon). But myself and everyone I know for that matter, are not optimistic that this is anything but a total disaster.
I'd agree with your premise that having a problem with drugs is the problem, but it's naive to treat all drugs are the same. There are some drugs that have outsized negative impacts on society. Also, what amphetamine is half the US on? Sounds a bit much like hyperbole.
Exactly, there will be no way to determine that why negative effects you measure were actually due to the emoji.

The only real way to deal with this is to run these types of A/B tests “forever”, which is not desired. Which is why I’m very much wondering, what is the appropriate way to deal with this?
The new economic model will be some sort of feudalism, we are starting to see it already.
Why is that in recent years. The best resources have always been thofficial docs and that has not changed since before SO. The issue is that official docs are often not good and you need pointers too them.
In fact I would say that official docs are getting worse and you need more help from SO now.

Agreed that github issues are very useful for understanding. But even there for popular reps there are too many stupid questions to wade through.

There are lightning protectors that will absorb a direct lightning strike. Most antennas on hilltops and tall buildings have them. They take lightning strikes routinely.
Here's some ARRL material on lightning protection.[1]

It's not difficult, but it's not miniature. A classic design was a soup-can sized device with a coax connector on each end and a hulking big ground connection on the can. Inside was a spark gap with dime-sized silver contacts, and a few turns of copper busbar as an inductor to smooth out the spike that got past the spark gap. That goes where the cable enters the building. Similar units today tend to be smaller. There will still be serious metal boxes.[1]

You need a serious ground. As in hulking big copper cable to a long ground rod. Grounding to a pipe is no longer allowed; there might be plastic pipe somewhere in the system, either now or in the future.

The next stage is a "central office protector". This is a gas tube with three terminals - both sides of the line, and ground. So it's an enclosed spark gap in an inert gas. An overvoltage will ionize the gas and short it to ground. Telco central offices have one of those on each line. They're plug-in devices that sometimes have to be replaced.

There's a lot of obviously fake stuff on eBay and Amazon in this area. 2D logos superimposed on curved surfaces, even. There's a standard, UL 497B. If it doesn't have that certification, don't buy.

First note: the so called smart grid with EV so far is a myth, we do not have not a common and fast enough and trustable enough signaling network nor fast enough spread inverters. Even if we ever arrive to agree a common standard for signalling who can trust it at a grid scale? So far we have just frequency shifting witch is reasonably trustable since it's so dumb that can't be really sabotaged but it's far from being usable at grid scale, so IMVHO we can count on EV batteries where we are at home for our own home backup. Something VERY local, for a very local microgrid. No more.

II note: with the premise that I do not know how electricity grid in USA was made, in EU the grids was made by States years ago, then get privatized and so far almost no real upgrades have happened, witch is a classic plot for all privatization: profit for the company, no investments, cry for State money and help "it's an emergency!!!!". This model MUST be ended ASAP if we want to have something still working at certain scale in the future.
If you actually take the time to read the book Bob explains the choice.

And fwiw modern Java is decently expressive without adding the unneeded complexity of Scala or something similar.

Distribution systems are designed for unidirectional power flow from the transmission system at the top to individual users at the bottom. If you start doing things like reversing power flow and exporting power through already very heavily loaded distribution transformers you create bottlenecks, stability issues, and safety issues that were not originally designed around. If you expect users to be importing and exporting power from their residence you need to have automated protection that can disengage those residences from the grid at a minimum, and probably a lot more that I am not an expert on. My day job is designing control systems for renewable generation and as a result I have some exposure to transmission level and generator bus level protection schemes and they can be quite complex!
This is correct. Programmers read licenses like code ("If I use the GPL, I need to release my entire codebase."). That's not how the world works. The worst-case outcome is damages. Damages tend to be reasonable.

In most cases, damages are set to make both parties straight, not to be punitive. People cite how trillion dollar companies might have billion-dollar lawsuits, but that's pretty reasonable. $1B damages are 0.1% of a company's value in a battle between FAANGs, which have big-O trillion-dollar valuations. If you have a dispute between $1M businesses, the analogue is $1k damages. That's not atypical for a commercial dispute.

A few years back, Oracle created OEL, that is, Oracle Enterprise Linux.

However all they did was to effectively clone Redhat's src rpms/repos, and call it a day.

Later, as their stuff was 100% identical, they just used redhat's rpms for security updates. Essentially, one paid corp contributing not a single thing, and completely and totally leeching off of redhat.

Redhat, whom they wanted to take market share from.

The next step was to aggressively market OEL, and of course claim that it was better. Of course Redhat did a sensible thing, and moved its security patches behind a wall, and required a subscription to get them. Subscriptions were free, but the terms meant Oracle couldn't just copy them. And of course, Oracle couldn't tell people to use Redhat's url/servers for updates on the OS they claim to have "created". Bad image, and all that.

Angry at the idea of having to manage their own security updates, and you know, do actual work, Oracle hid all security patches, and security update info for mysql.

This made it impossible for not just Redhat, but everyone (eg, debian) to backport security fixes.

And there is no equivalency here in Oracle's response. After all, Redhat security updates were created by bug reports about CVEs, and patches in software (eg, a ssh or apache patch), which Oracle could easily obtain and do themselves.

Instead, Oracle stopped communicating specifics about security issues, and providing any patches for security updates,
purposefully obscuring security fixes in massive single patches, with loads of other fixes and changes.

This is the reason the entire open source community embraced mariadb, everyone had no choice.

It is also the reason redhat threw money at centos, and essentially bought them. This allowed them to give security updates to centos directly.

All this because Oracle threw a temper tantrum, at not being able to build an entire OS, for free, and leech off of the company they wanted to take market share from.

Oracle is rotten through and through, pure scum.

I think there is a high interest factor on HN for competitors to google search. Brave isn't the only one that comes up. Some combination of google being frustrating for power users, increasingly evil in moral alignment, and obnoxiosly dominant in its role makes competition an interesting topic here.
Let's say a person outputs 500W and we can somehow capture all of it. That would be 10cents worth of electricity in an hour.

Note that these are very generous estimates, but it does demonstrate how silly the idea of trying to generate electricity by capturing exercise output is (in a purely economic sense).

Um, no. My family are all immigrants from Europe. Most Americans are raised to despise Europe, and the situation's that resulted in our families having to flee to another continent with nothing (this manifests as being anti-big government, because we have family memory of big government banning our existence/trying to wipe us out). I don't think Europeans understand the average american's psyche or the damage it does when your country tries to eliminate your existence (Irish Catholic, Russian Jewish, small sect German, non-Catholic French descent here).

Any other similar platform (weibo, facebook, G+) just allows the post/tweet to be long and editable.

It’s a proven concept. It leads to many people sharing their thoughts in a more readable way than a thread of tweets, and has a lower barrier than having a blog.

What I see here feels overspec’d and convoluted, as if hundreds of people had to have a say on what could be a very simple and singular product.
Of course. But the question at hand is: does it matter that the competition is using chromium to power their browsers? At least with chromium, competition is somewhat viable, in case Google goes over more lines than even the general public can stomach.

Isn't this true of SSH as well? What's stopping someone from letting sshd listen on 0.0.0.0 with password auth? Anyway, I would expect that whether you're using ssh or rsh/telnet/etc that you're not configuring it for password auth, but rather using tailscale authentication. Specifically, I would expect (perhaps naively) that tailscaled handles the ssh/telnet/rsh/whatever connections rather than passing them off to another process (sshd, telnetd, etc) and thus allowing it to handle the authentication and daemon configuration (e.g., what address it listens on).
I’m not sure you’re engaging with the previous comment. In the realm of college football appears, THE is quite reasonable associated with OSU.
I can see the logic behind the narrow presentation. If most people use this on pocket computers, the writing will likely be tailored to that format e.g. with generally shorter paragraphs so as not to tower. Keeping the presentation consistent might help with readability.

For an example of what Twitter might be trying to avoid, look no further than this website, which has driven me to inject `.comment { max-width: 70ch; }`, among other things.

Russia had already invaded Ukraine in 2014. This is similar to claiming the US would invade some N+1 Middle eastern country. He makes a lot of claims and some of them happen to be right.
Good thing I never did much with Revue--which this is replacing if I understood the account's bio right--after Twitter bought it. I'm sure all the portability will vanish in the name of "better integration" or some other weak CEO-speak.
Please mock everything. It's just annoying when your CI starts failing because a third party service is down multiple times a month
This misunderstands trademarks. Trademarks don’t mean you own the word or words being trademarked, they mean that you successfully registered the word as representing your business/firm/trade in the categories your business operates in. There’s no need for them to be unique words, Apple, Ghost, Monster, Bang (sorry my mind is stuck on energy drinks) are all trademarked.

It’s the legal equivalent of having the name “the” on NPM.
Yes, that actually sounds reasonable. Especially if you also account for the deaths caused by reckless driving.
No evidence, but that doesn't mean that they're unfounded, that means that they're unproven. There's only one party that profits from the confusion, and it's a party that spent a fortune on bribes (or "grants" or whatever) during the OOXML debacle.
Well, Justin Timberlake will come around and tell them to drop the word The from their name and forever be immortalized.

There are people who don't need to do that. Their use case may be writing the monthly newsletter for the local rabbit breeders club, or writing that novel they've been working on for decades now (and totally are going to finish any day now! I can relate, because I've got two or three of those saved somewhere).

To these people, there are no benefits in upgrading.

I don’t see this going anywhere unless a) it becomes costly/risky to hold customer data, b) it’s mandated by law, or c) there is massive customer demand

I used to work in EDA/Semi-IP as well. In addition to the common argument that tool changes are avoided to mitigate risk because of expensive iteration costs, another rationale is that the design and manufacturing costs of making a chip are so high that integrators are less fixated on switching tools for savings because they are not that significant to the overall budget.
There were a couple of articles in February that stated 90 percent of the neon used in semiconductors came from Russia and Ukraine, among many other critical supplies for western technology:

"Some 90pc of the world supply of neon, used as laser gas for chip lithography, comes from Russia and Ukraine. Two-thirds of this is purified for the global market by one company in Odessa. There are other long-term sources of neon in Africa but that is irrelevant in the short run."

At the end of the day it does not matter much whether he is right or wrong. Our elites have quite the Malthusian outlook and it informs a lot of the decisions we are seeing on a global scale. Why do you think is there such a big push for reducing energy production?
In what way? US manufacturing output is almost the same as the EU in absolute value.
How does that work? First of all, I would expect that rsh-over-tailscale doesn't use password authentication, and secondly can a local user sniff traffic before it hits tailscaled?
I think you're right. Thanks for the reply!

Why doesn't HN let me link to a Twitter search? I submitted

https://twitter.com/search?q=tiktok%20search

But HN keeps removing part of the URL? Making my submission here useless, as it just goes to twitter search. I deleted my original post, and re-submitted, but got the same result.
So would you say the process and / or tech do you use to identify & trust the other side of the transaction is a zoom call with photo ID? Literally the next sentence of the paragraph you quoted?
Yes but simply linking makes it more difficult to automatically censor content. Aside from the problem of redundancy (sorry, old school here, redundancy must have a reeeally good reason for me), as I have already mentioned, this would get your readers used to reading you ONLY on twitter, while by linking to an external blog your readers will already be used to read you elsewhere, in case your account suddenly disappears.

Of course I imagine that in addition to the intent to expand outward control (and let's call it aggressive "moderation"? the infamous dangerous "unfettered conversations" come back to mind ;)) of content as an alternative to blogs, there is also the intent to offer it as an alternative to long threads, which to me, however, does not seem like a good idea as well, because it is known that the average reader is more likely to read in chunks rather than deal with long text (as others have already said). Not to mention that with threads you can reply point by point, to individual tweets, which as I see it is smoother and neater.

Maybe I'm biased (that's why I started out with "I don't know") but I see it as more of a political move than a functional one, that's all.
And by the way, if one really doesn't want to think about censorial and narrative control intentions, in the least worst case scenario to me it looks like a push toward increasing the already troubling monopoly of a few giants on content, data, attention, etc.
Everyone is connected, but they are connected to nothing. We don't need more highly accessible trash.

I didn't /specifically/ qualify this because if you're gardening in your city backyard, you likely don't have enough acreage to be providing a very substantial % of your yearly calories via your own garden.

Strictly speaking, though, you're right that urban soils have accumulated unpleasantness--so if you're not cash-constrained, maybe container gardening or raised beds is worth it for peace of mind. I haven't personally done research on which plants uptake heavy metals in which amounts, but I'm inclined to figure that a summer's worth of tomatoes, even if grown in leaded soil, will still have less lead than I would have gotten had I lived in the leaded gasoline days. Totally fair to want to do your own math, or/especially to insist on container gardening if your family includes pregnancies/toddlers, though.

On the topic of pesticides from gardens--in general what is available to homoeowners is not going to have a lot of persistence. (What is available to farmers is not going to have a lot of persistence, either). The places I would be careful of long-lasting pesticide residues are railroad right-of-ways and (depending on your state & power company) around transformer stations.
