NIMBY is the wrong term for this. What we're really talking about is eminent domain.

To get the rate of progress you're talking about requires bulldozing through neighborhoods and often buying up private property. So you have to be comfortable with personally taking away someone's property for public use.

If you aren't ready to do that, then you're distracting from the fundamental issue by substituting terms. You're also using proxy to put these moral dilemmas onto someone else, maybe an elected official. It's analogous to convincing someone of murder and then having another person pull the switch for the electric chair.

Without getting too far out into the weeds, we're seeing this problem in recent Supreme Court rulings. I've chosen for myself to use proper terminology now. I expect that from others and will be pointing out this issue in future discussions. If the people I'm debating continue to use hand waving to avoid the crux of issues, then I will make light of it and point out their inadequate communication skills. Basically questioning their leadership authority if they don't have an understanding of debate and continue to insult the intelligence of their constituents.
It doesn't seem like there's any real guarantee that the 'generated text detectors' will outpace the 'generated text generators'
Also since Firefox for android removed one of its distinctive features a few years ago; once you could set it to ask how to open a link (send to another device, share, copy to clipboard, open normally) when an app tried to start a browser; now you can no longer do that.

I use different browsers for different things so I want to chose how to open external app links.

I would install a shim browser that does just that if I knew of one.

I strongly agree with your opinion here: The reason people have issues with modern Star Trek is simply cognitive dissonance. They have strong beliefs and Star Trek is calling them out on it, and that hurts. Meanwhile, the Star Trek they grew up with is preaching stuff that they've already accepted, but was definitely pretty aggressive towards certain political groups at the time.
The author is in DevOps, which seems like it should have its own interviews process distinct from general SWE. Seems like putting such folks through the Leetcode gauntlet would be a mismatch in expectations.

I don't think this is a great example of "sound C program turning into unsound Rust program". The crate isn't "unsound" in the way a C program would be - it's unsound in the sense that, given either 'unsafe' elsewhere or changes to how Rust constructs work (that are not guaranteed) a consumer of this crate could accidentally violate one of the necessary guarantees.

For a Rust program the bar is "has to be safe, even if some other part of the program uses unsafe". That seems like it's arguably a higher bar than C where everything is already "unsafe" in that same way.
Why not just do statistically valid polling?

The problem is that politicians run this weird highly skewed sampling method of "community input" and then think they've got the pulse of the community, where in fact they've just heard from loudmouths with too much time on their hands.

A statistical poll would at least show what the actual constituency wants, not the loud, bored subset.

The subset problem is also why we see much more extreme politics in cities among elected positions that have less visibility: city council members tend to be much more extreme than mayors, because the latter has greater voter participation.
> AND even fewer know how to fully validate that the tools themselves are valie (e.g., not compromised by a bogus cert).

Kind of, but once you have a single verifiable channel back to the source (in this case, some statement by the president) it's now possible for anyone to construct a web of trust that leads back to that source. For example, multiple trustworthy independent outlets reporting on the same statement in the same way, providing some way to locate the original source. This is why new articles that do not link to (on the web) or otherwise unambiguously identify a source wind me up. "Scientists say" is a common one. It's so hard to find the original source from such things.

This falls over in two ways: sources become non-independent and/or non-trustworthy as an ensemble. Then you can't use them as an information proxy. This is what is often claimed about "the mainstream media" and the "non-mainstream media" by the adherents if the other. All the fact checks in the world are worthless if they are immediately written of y those they are aimed at as lies-from-the-system.

The second way is that people simply do not care. It was said, it sounds plausible, and they want to believe it.

So I would say that actually the risks here are social, not technological. Granted, perhaps a deepfake-2'd video might convince more people than a Photoshopped photo. The core issue isn't the quality of the fake, it's that a significant number of people simply wouldn't care if it were fake.

Doesn't mean we're not screwed, just not specifically and proximally because of falsification technology, that's accelerant but not the fuel.
Hmm yes ... maybe the word "view" was not chosen well. It's more of a "there and back again" thing.
>...and having the courage of making it a bilingual show.

Exactly this. That was my hope when I saw trailers for the show and it added so much more depth and realism, having the actors speak Japanese.

For sure, In my opinion I think this is totally fine as long as it's clearly specified in the likely first point of contact (Generally the readme on GitHub) & license file and as long as the other licenses aren't breached upon clone/download of the source alone, potentially acting as a license trap.
Words in English often have multiple meanings. Nobody is confused that you can use a string in a computer program, or use string to annoy your cat or tie up a package. "Organic" is the same way; when it's on food, it's not referring to the branch of chemistry. No computer scientist is confused about string being a physical thing. No organic chemist is confused by the "organic" label on their food.

My takeaway is that we should start asking mechanical engineers to "reverse a string" in their interviews, though.
Does a similar high resolution image of the same region before date of impact exist? If so it would significantly strengthen the claim that both craters are due to the same recent impact.

Looking at the density of craters how can we exclude the possibility that one of the craters simply existed before the new one?

What alternative scenarios have been considered and ruled out? It would be nice to see what other explanations were considered but ruled out, and how it was ruled out. For example, did the object hit a lava tunnel? (I don't think so, nor do I see how it could explain a double crater, but I would like to see the thought processes of elimination of hypotheses).

If the conclusion is correct, what was the second mass on the opposite end of the rocket motor? Is it some taboo failed project? A "stillborn" crew capsule?

I mostly work using T-SQL but I like PRQL.

Are you able to add in the examples the following:

1) Use of delimiters for names that include space, etc. I don't know if PRQL uses double quote or square brackets.
2) Use of two/three/four-naming convention to refer to servers, databases, tables and columns.
I'm not that familiar with the Fourth Turning and this also originates from the US, but I did find it quite helpful when considering where things are, have been and might be going and how the US is in a cycle along with other nations:

I'd also not heard of Glocalization, but it reminds me of a couple of topics that are covered in Fritjof Capra's Systems View of Life book (also a course), around emergent behaviour in complex systems and how this competes with top down command and control ideas (or in organisations as the formal and informal networks).

The commenter your replying to is talking about "sweet" oil. According to this adage, US refineries are setup to process sour oil but in the US we drill for sweet oil. As a result we need to export sweet oil and import sour oil.

I've heard from one person, who delivers oil, that our refineries are able to switch relatively easily. So, I'm unsure what the whole story is, but that's what the other comment was referring to. We definitely do refining in the US and there are several refineries near me.
A duopoly has 90% of the problems of a monopoly.
While I do understand where this view is coming from, I think it's also a major waste of time to complain about it.

Let me put it this way - you are not entitled to a high-earning FAANG job. It's really that simple. It's a free market, and companies can select the way they recruit their people. You feel like it's a waste of time to learn Leetcode questions? Then don't do it. Case closed.

> To believe this shows total ignorance of the history of the healthcare system in America. The whole thing is a crazy pile of hacks and accidents with 0 design or intent.

No. The health insurance companies spend a lot of effort and influence on lobbying to make sure they are there in the loop to cash in on every health care transaction. It's all very intentional.
Proxxon tools are way overpriced. You can get much more for the same money elsewhere.
Sad thing is I didn't know what country we were talking about until I clicked into the article after reading your comment, because it can describe a few others than just Sri Lanka.

For the record, I was thinking about San Salvador Island which is also not a country, but during the time of the Salvadoran civil war, tourism at San Salvador Island suffered because apparently people confused it with El Salvador (all of this based on a vague memory of an NPR story I heard roughly 30 years ago).
I don't understand why Apple seems to get a pass for anti competitive behavior.

Microsoft lost that anti trust lawsuit for merely including IE in Windows. Apple not only bundles safari, but they don't let you use any other browser.
There's nothing 'wrong' about it. There's nothing 'right' about it. It's a fact. It's the current value of that market at current prices. GDP is a temporal figure, it's not the value of France, or the market cap of france whatever that means, it's the value of what France produces over a time period. So this comparison is just not useful.
>It's all Monopoly money to corporations.

Surely you don't mean by this that they don't care about money. Isn't the cynical take normally that corporations are amoral money maximizing juggernauts? Why wouldn't they respond to adequate threats?
> Chrome actually managed to compete on the merits

Uh. Anyone else here remember the constant bombardment of Chrome ads across google's multiple(!) monopolized services? Non-tech-nerd people I know with non-default browsers were either pushed onto it by a tech nerd friend (this was responsible for most of Firefox's early success) or were convinced by an ad to download and install it, possibly not even understanding what it was, just "a thing Google keeps telling me I need".
Imagine a system where of 500 teachers, 25 that have a track record of doing much worse than average are let go. You then roll the dice to get new teachers.

Could you pay more to attract better teachers in that situation and get better overall value for the kids being taught?

So how do you identify poor teachers? I would guess that if you let each member of the faculty vote for the 25 top teachers and then have parents do assessment of their children's teachers and then average the results over 3 years, you could come up with something that has virtual no false positives as to who the worst teachers were.
Trying to never use the word "you", it seems a bit aggressive. Using "we" or "one" instead, or rephrasing to get rid of pronouns completely.
Do you test in Epiphany? That’s what the WebKit project recommends you do.
The distinction is important, because many on the right are suggesting that ‘gay sex’ specifically is the transmission vector. This given that at present we don’t even really know that sex of any kind is the major transmission vector.

I don’t see any terminological difficulty here. You can easily catch a cold from someone by having sex with them, but no-one suggests that colds are STDs.

The ‘trend’ also has to be viewed against a background of underdiagnosis and limited testing. It may simply be that gay men are more likely to end up getting tested for Monkeypox.
No that's not true, you could oversize the system or improve your insulation. The condensing temperature is typically 45 F and the evaporating temperature is typically 120 F - in layman's terms if the building were perfectly insulated, you could get it to 45 F as long as the external temp didn't go above 120 F.

>The actors would need to learn the new characters and lines?

Yes. Or, maybe you could find a different set of actors with similar physical measurements to use the same costumes. If you were on a sound stage and could limit yourself to 12-hour sessions, you could theoretically shoot two completely different stories for only the cost of the second set of actors, directors, writers.

The poor don't get free housing. Homeless shelters do exists, largely subsidized by private charities, and there are way too few of them, and they are incredibly dangerous. For those who get Section 8 vouchers (after waiting for years), nobody will take them.

There is a good chunk of free food out there, but not in food deserts, which of course disproportionately affect poor minorities.

If medical care is free to the poor, why does everyone have to go to the emergency room, and why are firefighters acting like EMTs with big red trucks? Why are there so many physically and mentally ill people on the streets?

School lunches continue to be defunded (even this year, during a pandemic, during massive inflation) and not available enough in poor minority communities.
Internal recruiters are pretty useful.

External recruiters are generally pretty bad and will never get you the best rate you can get. Also you'll be able to negotiate more if your client doesn't have to pay 20% of your annual salary to the recruiter as a finder fee.

Thank you. Look, I get everyone is afraid of Chrome; I don’t use it either. But Safari is a case study on why competition is good: MobileSafari still railroads you into patent-encumbered codecs, whereas Safari on macOS, where Apple, certainly begrudgingly, must compete on a somewhat even playing field, magically supports WebM and other things they will never do on iOS.

You ever wonder why Opus isn’t used more often considering how much better it would be for bandwidth, the fact that it’s not patent-encumbered, and the fact that Google dominance has absolutely jack shit to do with it? Check the notes on the funny green-yellow columns and you tell me.

I don't understand why NIMBYs have been taken so seriously in the US in the past 50 years.

Don't discount that your elected officials may be NIMBYs themselves, or well-funded by NIMBYs. Consider this if you still have an upcoming primary election or when you go to the polls in November.
Honestly, when people have gone so far as to redefine common words it makes it really difficult to have conversations with people.

2. The advent of your truth instead of the truth

3. Constant injections of "x" into every existing word apparently?

Medicare didn't cover drugs at all until 2003 when Bush put together Medicare Part D to bolster flagging support. Medicaid doesn't negotiate prices either, but it's mandate that it will pay the lowest negotiated price in the market. When Part D was passed it almost had a similar structure. In 2016 there was a move to add negotiation but it fizzled. In both cases the CBO estimated that negotiating prices would save precisely no money. The way Medicare plans actually work is that plan provider bid to be part of the program and they are selected on a cost basis, and they then negotiate drug prices. Could Medicare administrators do a better job? Well the CBO has twice said no. Medicare Part D was a huge hack to cover a made up problem, which is to say seniors too wealthy for Medicaid not being able to afford their heart medicine. It was essentially GWB trying to buy voted before the 2004 election. So I think you're wrong on the history here.
This is simply not true- you can purchase this cheap generic insulin from Walmart for not much more than that. However, most people group all sorts of new versions of insulin into a category of drug, and those new versions are definitely not "old tech".

I have no idea on what the costs to develop, produce, and distribute these insulins is, or even what is being charged for them. Maybe it is too high, but it is not so simple as a generic 5$ per vial drug.
We have plenty of refineries tuned for all kinds of crude. The vast majority of US crude gets refined here, and exported as refined products.

That's not to say the industry wouldn't go belly up from suddenly having a bunch of unused, expensive oil refineries, but our ability to refine US oil wouldn't be in peril from a lack of refineries.
Exactly. And what do people do when there are tasks that: a) most people don't care about and b) are fundamental to the well being of the community? They offer a reward for accomplishing those tasks.

Why would they service your area at all? Are you sure that your area has people that would go around keeping the streets clean 8 hours a day for nothing in return? Not choosing a forum just because it's monetized is an odd choice to be fair, considering that this conversation takes place on a website that's, well... monetized.

Read the article again and see the context that the sentence was used in. Yes, plenty of forums exist with community moderation, but if the goal is to make a forum a place that is not going to become a disaster, a motivated and well compensated employee is the only solution. Otherwise you're relying on someones occasional contribution to the well being of the community rather than have things go smoothly at all times.
I would like to see a project which addresses food shortages/availability --- why can't I have a pair of windows replaced w/ a pair of an aquarium and terrarium?

Grow shrimp in the aquarium, lettuce, cherry tomatoes and so forth in the terrarium

Each is monitored by a small computer w/ sensors which adjusts for nutrients, water, light, &c. --- at need, a vendor comes along, unlocks the outside access (which can only be unlocked if the matching inside lock is secure) and tops off/adjusts things.

If I'm having a dinner, have an option to drop off tilapia or a lobster in the aquarium.

I lack the green thumb, knowledge of electronics, and biological credentials --- it could be a nice gig for some person who is talented at growing things and has the computer programming/electronic sensor skills
