Weed is harmless, except for teens. Weed has always hurt teens. The hurt is subtle. It tends to steal their future and their ability to support themselves or contribute to society. But this really isn't about weed. It's about bad parents.
I'll take one more shot at explaining why this continues to be a strawman.

Why would I be running the light all day? The assumptions being made here are unrealistic enough that the answer becomes meaningless. The realistic question here, "how much money would I save by switching from a 100W incandescent bulb to a 14W LED bulb" is not helped by any of this kWh nonsense.
I'm building my own open source analytics solution exactly for this reason.
I firmly believe in TDD where you write the test, watch if correctly fail, make the test in the simplest possible way, and then refactor to make it more readable or idiomatic. Red, green, refactor. I'd rather try and fix ugly code that has tests than try and fix ugly code with no tests. Doing the latter is almost impossible sometimes because you don't even know the exact intent of the code or why some edge case is there etc.

+1 for Zotero. If you are writing academic or technical documents and need to cite the documents you save in a standard format, it is a life saver.
Can this be used for UI callbacks as well, like async/await in C# and coroutines in Kotlin?

In other words, with an appropriate fiber scheduler, could I start a function on the UI thread, suspend it while performing some background operation and then resume the same function again on the UI thread?
Note: L-theanine binds to glutamate receptors and that can mess with psychotropic medications like mood stabilizers and anti-psychotics.

Calling it spying is a little far-fetched I think, when the problem was the transfer ip addresses to US servers, not Analytics itself.
The more examples of DALL-E 2 generations I see, the more I want access. C'mon, OpenAI, get to my name on the waitlist, please! :D I already have GPT-3 access, and have saved a prompt that allows it to generate (relatively) unguided art descriptions, and I really want to connect that up to DALL-E 2 for a fully end-to-end AI artist. (As in, the idea for the art and its execution are both fully AI produced.)

...I also want to generate an image of corgis riding a dragon, but that's less impressive.
Words in my everyday vocabulary are English words by definition, regardless of whether they're of foreign origin, in the sense that I meant.

"Libre" isn't an English word at all; not even as a loanword from a foreign language.

What's really puzzling is that Google Analytics never got banned because of antitrust laws. It's the most obvious example of predatory pricing I've ever seen. How is a smaller company supposed to compete against a free product?
Oh, no doubt. They've 100% been gambling that they could get away with it. The GDPR has deviated increasingly from what their leadership assumed would be a reasonable position (it continues to drift from the American centroid belief on who owns what data; for Americans, the notion that you can use other people's computers without them keeping records of how you used their computers is kinda weird, and Americans lack the direct historical experience to have the kinds of concerns about mass-citizen-tracking that Europe does).

My prediction is that as things move forward, they're going to find it isn't worth their money to offer Analytics for European customers if the GDPR continues to make that more onerous (especially since the monetization story of Analytics for Google is so threadbare) and just offer it for customers in other countries while Europe does its own thing. Win-win.
The Constitution explicitly states well regulated militia and at the time the amendment was passed the lethality of guns was much less than it is today. The Supreme Court is on a clear path to destroy the mechanisms by which a modern state can function. We will soon live in a country where a legal act in one city will warrant the death penalty in another. A state that cannot adequately regulate weapons is not functional. What worked 250 years ago no longer works today.

The Constitution isn’t going to be changed because there is too much divisiveness. SCOTUS is doing what it can to foment this divisiveness. It’s time to be like Lincoln and ignore the Supreme Court. Strict adherence to words written 250 years ago is not a good way forward for the country. The U.S. is badly in need of reform for how its federal government works.
> We don't understand solar "climate" enough to say that it's changing (cycle frequency, amplitude, etc).

We certainly do know a fair amount about the sun's "climate": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle

The sun has an 11-year solar cycle where each cycle has a period of low and high sunspot activity and currently we are just starting Cycle 25 with a corresponding uptick of solar flare activity.
That's why I said "part-employee-owned" and not "majority employee owned."

(FWIW, at least back in the early 2010s when I started a company, reserving 20% of the company for employees was pretty standard for early-stage startups. It's possible things have changed though, and it's true that dilution will drop that number.)
Interesting, I've come to the opposite conclusion regarding the latter. It's too bad it's outside the scope of the topic. It would be a fun finding out how we both arrived as such different results.

Social benefit and profit are different things. Profit is actually private benefit, usually at society's expense, both in subsidies and in externalized costs.

And a for-profit system that's not pulling in enough money will let its service, sanitation, and safety degrade, causing a downward spiral of profitability and ridership.
In UO, you could spend your whole character career in towns (although there were other ways to mess with people in town). In SWG too, where Koster was also involved, there was an entire life outside of combat.

In WoW, for example, everything revolves around combat - and any secondary skills (mining, enchanting, etc.) are support for combat, or require combat to advance.
Perhaps Google could license a third party in the EU to host analytics for EU customers?
If they serve customers outside the EU, then they should comply with those laws or not serve them at all.
I can name a couple of industries where compliance (and their enforcement arm, security[0]) teams require N+1 different monitoring and enforcement agents on all systems because Compliance[TM]. Due to these agents the systems' IDLE load is approaching 1.00 - on a good day. On a less good you need four cores to have one of them available for workload processing.

0: I use the word "security" only because the teams themselves are named like that. You can probably infer my opinion from the tone.
You're right, that one is way better.

Yes, but he also wasn't thinking about the four subsequent years in which anti-Brexit forces tried everything they could (and more) to stop the duly passed referendum from actually taking effect. That went a long way toward causing the collapse of Labour's "red wall" in northern England in the 2019 election.

"Yes it always has been a second class right - you can exercise your first amendment rights within the halls of congress, in the courts and all other government offices and you will never ever be able to exercise your second amendment rights in those places."

Are you really that ignorant of the historical massive prevalence of arms in America? And by that I include things like fighting knives and swords, or even canes in the Congress (OK, that was special case in many ways).

"Let's not pretend these are all equal - they might have been written by some senile, crazy old man who just wanted to maintain his enslaved properties 400 years ago."

Yes, it seems you are. You have some reading to do, I'd start with That Every Man Be Armed: The Evolution of a Constitutional Right by Stephen P. Halbrook. One of the Ur sources that the Supreme Court supermajority used to find this decision and enforce on New York and ultimate the 6 other modern slave states of the Union which have May or No Issue concealed carry regimes. If we want to dream, one or more of those could join the 25 states that don't or won't by the beginning of next year even require a licence to legally carry.

Can you actually point to substantial examples where Disney or Nintendo benefited significantly from a precedent set by an open source court case? Open source has been around for decades, so it should be trivial to find numerous clear-cut examples at this point... if your theory is actually correct.

Congrats. We also chose to do the analytics ourselves. No tracking, no cookie banners, and probably better stats as well. One thing that Google did very cleverly was to only give GA users the search terms that visitors used to end up on their site.
Yes, specifically the CLOUD (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data) Act, which was enacted following a case in 2014 where Microsoft refused to hand over emails stored in the EU (Ireland, in that case) on foot of a domestic US warrant.

The CLOUD Act expressly brings data stored by US-based companies anywhere in the world under the purview of US warrants and subpoenas.

Sigma.js v2 released – A JavaScript library aimed at visualizing large graphs
But why is it immoral? All that code is still out there, if I had the time and the resources I could build a language model. Unlike commons in the real world (e.g. land, fresh water, etc) a code commons is purely additive. With the release of Copilot (which I don't intend to pay for or use) nothing has been destroyed, instead we'll get more code for less work where companies do pay for their developers to use it, some might even find its way back into the commons as new open-source code (whether more code of copilot generated quality in general is an unalloyed good is left as an exercise to the reader).
"I would doubt that a register scans an item every 3.6 seconds"

Indeed, that sounds WAY too slow for me - traffic like this is bursty. Ever try to scan five of the same thing at some self check out registers? On some it's instantaneous (an awesome customer experience) on others there are one second or more delays (horrible customer experience).

Latency = friction and friction is the ultimate deal killer.
I mean, if your only criteria is the intensity of the quality, then kinda.

With NASA and related space weather data products and internal tracking of satellites being a core competence of companies like SpaceX, I don't necessarily see where a commercial data product would fit or provide value. Unless you're actually going to launch orbital assets and have some significant scientific work, I'm just not sure.

The button can be put into any case as desired, of course; it's just a switch. Not sure about the buzzer; those can get annoying. But if the HTTP request gets proxied through a little server on the friend's machine, then the server can play a nicer confirmation sound, add notifications, etc. as needed.

But yeah, if they want full wireless, a USB battery pack will do the trick.
The glaring problem is that police can't stop crime from happening. Some cities have rampaging gang violence, which often are gun-free zones. It seems to me this is a higher priority problem to solve before attempting to disarm everyone... which would encourage the existing law breakers to break the law even more and to claim many more victims. It's setting people up for much more suffering, and also no guarantee that the "bad guys" will never acquire guns.

Take the guns from existing criminals first, it's already illegal. This is why some think there are ulterior motives here, and disarming the public may have other purposes, like police enforcing the whims of those in power.
It would be better for misuse to be criminalized and taken care of by national governments, rather than leave it to for-profit companies to decide what is or isn't "misuse".

Personally, I think using AI to manufacture advertisements on demand is misuse... but will Google agree with me?

I think the primary objection is that to the vast majority of people 'plummet' implies the satellite is suddenly and violently falling from the sky - it's the kind of word people would describe an airplane crash with.

However unless the author happens to know a lot about orbital mechanics (or they've played Kerbal Space Program) they probably just picked an expressive word for the sake of a compelling article rather than something that would give a better picture to the layperson.

People aren't whining because the price is too high, they are upset because some (myself included) believe Microsoft is exploiting developers by copying their work against their wishes and then turning around and selling other developers a product which may or may not be generating code which violates copyright/patent licenses. A developer who inadvertently uses a copilot suggestion which gets them into hot water is going to be spending a lot more than a the cost of a latte to defend themselves in court.
Did I say anything about NATO? How many bilateral deals does the USA have with Europe, where only the USA keeps their side? Every industry I have been in that is supposed to have 'open' trade has had artificial barriers erected on the European side, barriers not allowed by treaty. And when we tried to get the relevant USA agency to require Europe to follow the treaty we were seldom supported. German companies can bribe to get contracts in foreign countries, USA companies (rightly) can not. That puts us at a huge disadvantage. Dude, stop with Trump, and try to understand how Trump came to exist, and why 'lies' have so much staying power. Or just feel smug. Start holding Europe accountable. Who creates and keeps structures beneficial to Europe operating around the world? Who keeps safe open shipping lanes? International dispute resolution that allows international diplomacy to have enough faith in rules to function? A stable enough reserve currency to make long term deals feasible? There is so much 'scaffolding' that is there thanks to the USA the we get zero credit for. But keep demeaning our contribution. Keep making it about Trump instead of maybe addressing American's frustrations (resentments) with Europe and the worlds relationship with us that allowed Trump to happen, that will make the world better. Instead of telling me my frustration doesn't exist (Trump lies) maybe try to understand WHY those lies have staying power, why Trump happened in the first place.
Stop bribing and encourage corruption, start paying (in diplomatic works, in laying 'Western' ideal foundations, and in just sticking to your word, whether that be military commitments or open trade deals) your fair share to the world order and be a partner. Try to understand WHY the average American is frustrated enough that we bought those lies. Or yeah, go after the symptom, not the disease, and enjoy the next iteration of a 'Trump' figure before the decade is out.
According to cursory Google search[1], Miami has more crime per capita than Chicago does.

Even if that isn't accurate, crime everywhere is down from 10 or 20 years ago, so why would Citadel move to Miami now instead of moving to Chicago suburbs 20 years ago?

This is likely more about Griffin's politics than about crime, and mentioning crime is itself politically motivated.

Yep, I completely ignore the docker persistent volumes. My infra is running in VMs which are backed up by Veeam, so there is a bazillion of ways to recover data and services - and no need for full restores and volumes juggling if I only need a one file.
It absolutely adds to the common good in the form of people using it to write more open source code.
It's insane to me that someone with his knowledge was using an online wallet to hold all that money. Perhaps he has muchh= more than that so it was only a fraction of his total net worth? Still, I'm surprised that he wasn't using a hardware or a multisig wallet.
For most realistic conversations you'd be talking about the relative consumption of two devices. Watts/kW is totally fine for this.

Regardless, head-math or otherwise, the vast majority of people will never do this calculation at all, except maybe to weigh the relative power consumption. And if they do the math, having a calculator and having all the units be compatible with each other (so just a natural conversion of W to J/s) is totally fine.
One broad view is that anti-trust is supposed to protect consumers, not competitors.

If a competitor can't produce a quality product that people will pay for, consumers aren't being harmed by the prevalence of a free good-enough product.

In a consumer-protection world where a free and open source Linux had 98% market share in the OS market, Microsoft or Apple would have no leg to stand on to sue its developers over anti-trust. In a competitor-protection world, they would.

The US views anti-trust through a very consumer-focused lens[1], the EU sometimes views it through a more competitor-focused one.

[1] This doesn't mean I agree with it, and there are obvious problems with trying to prove harm in a court of law, if no alternative exists.
> Even if I were hypothetically shown it was a purely nonsensical psychological dislike, that doesn’t mean I could stop disliking it.

AWS was built in the first place to commodify cloud computing and had very thin profit margins in its early years (commodify your complements, as they say), so if that is a threat they are now unprepared for, they've made some interesting mistakes along the way.
While it's true that (at least some of the) benefits of the office only work when others are there, I don't think it's quite black and white.

Not all communication needs to (or even should) be all to all. I can benefit from being able to directly discuss a problem or a design question with a colleague who's also at the office even if others are remote.

My workplace is pretty much optional remote. I go to the office most days, as do some others, while many more are remote most days. But usually at least one of my closest coworkers is also at the office, so there can be benefits to communication.

I feel it's a pretty good compromise. I'd feel less comfortable and focused either at a deserted or fully crowded office. Optional remote is still good for some focused work or if it makes scheduling more convenient.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if the technology catches up to this faster than we realize. I think the actual barrier to large scale adoption of it will be financial and social incentives.

A big reason all the major studios are moving to big franchises is that the real money is in licensing the merch. The movies and TV shows are really just there to sell more merch. Maybe this will work when we all have high quality 3d printers at our desks and we can just print the merch they sell us.

The other big barrier is social. A lot of what people watch, they watch because it was recommended to them by friends or colleagues, and they want to talk about what other people are talking about. I'm sure that there will be many people who will get really into watching custom movies and discussing those movies with chatbots, but I bet most people will still want to socialize and discuss the movies they watch with other humans. FOMO is an underestimated driver of media consumption.
THC is THC, but there are other compounds in the plant that appear important in the texture of the experience. Many people report the same, and following the delta-8 legalization wave they are apparently fractionally distilling the plant extract and separating out many of the active components.
