I'm angry because if we agree that that work was important (not sure I do, but not the issue), then the sacrifice of basically torturing a bunch of animals to death in service of science should be treated soberly, with reverence. I'm kind of baffled that you think that I, or anyone, should have no problems with the described conduct.

A surgeon, while operating with all diligence and conscientiousness, may from time to time kill a patient. That's life, it's table stakes to having surgery at all. The notion that it's cool if she jokes about killing the patient to "cope with her emotions" -- esp in an auditorium full of people -- is just fucking ... I dunno what to tell you if you think that.
Probably because the M1/M2 are kings of the roost as far as consumer hardware goes. No consumer ARM chip comes close, and Intel needs 3-4x more power draw just to match Apple on performance.

The M1 is the stick by which all new ARM chips are going to be measured for a while.

RE "constant amount of sunlight", this is actually untrue. The suns energy output is increasing roughly 10% per billion years. So it's actually never been stronger. It also means that we have much less habitable time on earth than we thought
And with less photosynthesis happening, less CO2 is being absorbed from the atmosphere.
Yeah, I remember a detailed walkthrough on how to use something like that to change the amount of money you had in SimCity. It would take over the system, and could write the RAM out to disk and compare with a previous write, etc.
Ah yes - a bridge from the top of a peninsula to the other side. Surely nowhere else would people think to make one of those. Just have everyone take the long way around where they will then need to cross TWO bridges if they want to travel north!

Fewer people smoke, and fewer people have a problem with stepping outside to smoke nowadays.

Payment card networks specifically forbid merchants from taking payment for damages that the customer has not specifically agreed to pay (via chip or tap to pay), so any chargeback is easily lost by the hotel. Technically, the smoking fee can be pursued in court, but no hotel is going through the effort of proving it, and even if they could, the legal fees would be huge.

Smoking fees are mostly just a deterrent, and the real consequence is you get put on a “do not rent” list at the hotel.

I am waiting for Hilton/Hyatt/Marriott/IHG/choice/Wyndham to roll out company wide do not rent lists. They might not have much motivation, however, since they just franchise hotel brands and the hotel owners are the ones that pay for all the damage.

One more thing to add the above comment. The ruling in Loving v Virginia, which is what allows interracial marriages like Thomas' to exist in Virginia in the first place, is also based on substantive due process (which is what underlies the privacy right in all these cases).

Quite conveniently, Loving v Virginia was not one of the rulings that Thomas argued needed revisiting.

Interesting. Also gives another reason why roosters so aggressively attempt to lead predators away from the hens and all the hens scatter even though you'd think they might have strength in numbers. Creates a situation where only 1 or 2 will die, instead of the whole flock.

A fox got after our chickens two years ago. Our rooster, a beautiful and gentle Barred Rock tussled with the fox for about 300 feet down to the road (there was a trail of feathers) and then dashed under a passing car which was forced to stop while the fox brazenly circled. All the hens scattered and hid and were fine.

We rescued him from under there and chased the fox away and cleaned him up and gave him antibiotics but the poor guy had wounds we didn't see that festered, he got a fever, and died about 3-4 weeks later despite us doing our best for him.

(Turns out foxes long teeth and mouth bacteria/biome are also engineered to create a situation where prey may die later even if they can't be taken right away. Then the fox can come back later when it's weakened or dead)

I'd never been so close to an eastern red fox. They're usually super skittish but this one must have been extremely hungry and indignant that I took his kill from him. Beautiful creature but I don't look at them the same way anymore.

We planted a lovely native flowering Eastern Redbud tree over the grave of the rooster ("Jacques")
The problem with this argument is as follows:

1. National governments do not have control. That implies that for each government, they could ensure the outcome they wanted, which is impossible in a shared legal system. In the era of the veto, you could argue that they had at least the very minimal level of control over change (by stopping it), but the EU has been systematically removing national vetos.

2. Even when vetos did exist, they were hardly 'control' as a regular person would understand it. That would be akin to arguing that as long as a car has a working brake you're in control even if you can't move the steering wheel or stop the engine.

3. We don't actually know the national governments control who becomes EU Commission President. We believe this to be the case because in theory the treaties say that's how it works, but the EU routinely violates its own treaties. For example the treaties say that the Commission gets Commissioners allocated and the national governments control those assignments. In practice the former president (Juncker) boasted in public that he vetoed any commissioner he didn't like. This is not allowed under the treaties but, happens anyway.

4. The actual process by which vDL became President is entirely and completely opaque. The national leaders walked into a locked room and ... something happened. Then vDL was announced as leader. How was that decision arrived at? Which countries voted for her or against her, and why? Was there even a vote at all? Are leaders being threatened or bought? The question may sound absurd but actually the EU has quite bad problems with corruption, and effectively buying support via massive subsidies to poorer countries is a core tactic.

The point is, nobody can answer these questions because the EU is completely opaque. vDL refusing to release critical negotiations in direct violation of EU law is entirely expected from this system; the EU has lots of laws and regulations but they are always ignored the moment they become inconvenient. No system that claims to be democratic can tolerate such levels of opacity.

One last point. The assumption in your argument above is that if voters elect a politician they will actually represent the people who elected them. At the individual / leadership level it is fairly well known that the EU routinely corrupts politicians into going against voter's wishes by offering to hire them into the Commission temporarily after they lose elections. These jobs come with absolutely massive "pensions" that are well out of line with any normal pension, which require virtually no work to obtain, which can be claimed before reaching retirement age and which can be rescinded if the recipient is disloyal! In effect these so-called "pensions" are legal bribes.

The extent of the pension bribes problem can be seen in the scale of EU payments to UK politicians (who of course all became strong remain supporters):

You sound like an incredibly wonderful and loving parent who has gone to great lengths to navigate the world of empowering two neurodivergent kids in two households with different rules and expectations in a school system without adequate funding and support for any type of learning that diverges from the norm. It's amazing how powerful a force love can be.

Thank you for raising these amazing beings and helping them thrive in spite of the obstacles. And for being grateful.

It's fantastic that your son found his way through the pressure of college. Clearly he has a lot of grit!

With regards to your daughter, I see that you feel that online learning would not be a viable option for her and that socializing has been challenging.

I need to do more research into autism, agoraphobia - and how to support students with autism that want to pursue careers that would require more socializing than they are comfortable with. However, I do know that there are a lot of innovative new models coming out. I feel a lot of hope for your daughter given the challenges your son over came. It helps to have a goal that makes people learn how to adapt to situations that are complex for them.

I don't have much to offer you right now, but I promise I am going to look into this more deeply and see what I can come up with. I am sure that there are therapies that can help make your daughter feel more at ease in a social environment and paths to her future career that we might not know of at this time.

I promise to get back to you soon.

I will also say - Loneliness is an epidemic in our society, even for those of us who are extreme extroverts. The more you can hook into inclusive communities the better.
It's scary how little you think about the unintended consequences of messing with a complex system like that.

It's funny seeing that people's attitudes haven't changed in 100 years. Today in San Francisco you still see a small minority of NIMBYs protesting every little change. But the difference is, now they actually have the power to completely block projects. What changed?

If I had to wager, I would say CEQA making it much harder to build, and much easier to block any construction.

"You are complaining about something that would cost huge amounts of money to develop not existing for free..."

I was not implying that such a project be started at this late juncture as clearly what you said would be correct if it did.

Perhaps it's best to illustrate what I meant with an example (there are of course many variations on this theme). Had the seemingly dead-in-the-water project ReactOS had at its outset decades ago in 1996 charged a small sum of say $10 to $20 for its Windows-like compatible operating system sufficient to cover costs then by now we'd have a viable clone of Windows that Windows users would be very familiar with and actually use.

Right, in the broad sense Linux is also an alterative to Windows but even with Wine installed it's still a very difficult call for many Windows users - the proof thereof is in Linux's take up numbers - even after decades, Windows users haven't moved to it in sufficient numbers to bother speaking about.

If the ReactOS project had paid its developers a living wage from the outset then it's hard to believe that by now - over a quarter century on - that ReactOS wouldn't be a viable alterative to MS Windows.

Given the longstanding and continuing angst many users have with both Windows and Microsoft's profiteering monopoly, it stands to reason they would readily jump to a viable alterative if it were available, especially so if its price was cheap in comparison to Windows. Similarly, there'd be precious little difficulty in getting large numbers of talented developers - and many developers means a quick finish to the project (er well, at least a much quicker finish than the current haphazard arrangement has produced, as the project stands now it could be strongly argued that it's not much further ahead than when it first started).

Perhaps this is a bad example due to possible controversy but I think not, specifically because there are many, many users who are disgruntled with both Windows and MS. Furthermore, as much of ReactOS's development has taken place in Russia, I doubt that any potential cries of plagiarism and or of copyright breaches from Microsoft would hold water, as we're all tragically witnessing, Russia isn't too enamored with the US or helping its corperations not to mention the way it's protected Snowdon. Any objections from Microsoft would be further weakened if the project were to demonstrate openly that it enforced clean room code development.

There's a lot more I could mention about this matter but I'll leave it here for the moment.
Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson covers this topic well via some insightful sci-fi story telling. I think his concept of a sulfur cannon(s) is more realistic and likely to be implemented in near future.

There's a difference between governance PoS and consensus PoS (Ethereum). There are also several variations of PoS.
So you're expecting the government to solve a problem created by the government? That seems rather unwise, especially since in the interim you are losing rights as time goes on.

Especially when people are cheering on the side that's removing said rights because people would ban abortion, same-sex marriage etc no matter the cost.
A constitutional amendment to enshrine a right to privacy/abortion is about as likely as Texas leaving the union to become part of Canada.
You would be surprised about how many things we still don't know in Biology.

But we do know a few things... for example that European and American polecats are mammals in the same genus and close genetically.

So close that both are susceptible to the same diseases and in particular to the same viruses. How do I know that? Because I'm interested in pathology of vertebrates.

We know also that the American polecat went extinct, and that diseases played a main role in that. Check the bibliography.

Are you following me?

So when you say that there was "not any measurable effect". Yes, in fact there is a clear perfectly observable effect. The closest carnivore to European polecats went extinct in the wild. Why?

Not sure if OS fits into the 'tool' category but for me it was FreeBSD where I finally found home after trying various Linux distributions, OpenSolaris, Mac OS X and Windows.

I tried to gather some of the reasons 'Why?' I prefer FreeBSD instead of other OSes but I probably did not covered everything that it brings:

- https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2020/09/07/quare-freebsd/

From 'smaller' tools I definitely appreciate that these exist (and use them daily):

- POSIX /bin/sh shell for scripts
- zsh shell and its completions
- firefox with plugins
- transmission
- geany editor - also use nvi/vim daily
- deadbeef audio player
- mpv multimedia player
- gimp and inkscape for various graphics related stuff
- caja file manager (from MATE)
- thunar file manager for its bulk rename feature
- xnview image browser for finding similar images
- audacity for simple audio modifications
- rsync for its versatility in transferring/updating files
- wine and dosbox for allowing 'alien' executables run with native speed on FreeBSD
- ZFS Boot Environments with beadm(8) for bulletproof upgrades
- Jails containers for flexible, easy and fast separated environments

Probably I forgot about something - but these are most important.

> Flu vaccines are not designed to stop Alzheimer's. There is no argued or known biological pathway through which that might happen.

You might want to read the paper before saying untrue things like that so confidently:

“Mounting evidence indicates that systemic immune responses can have lasting effects on the brain and can influence AD risk and/or progression. A diverse range of microorganisms and infectious diseases have been associated with an increased risk and/or rate of cognitive decline, particularly among older adults, including influenzal respiratory infections [5, 6], pneumonia [4, 7], herpes infections [7], chronic periodontitis [8], urinary tract infections [4], gastrointestinal infections [9], sepsis [4], and most recently COVID-19 [10]. Prevention or attenuation of microbe-related inflammation may therefore represent a rational strategy to delay or reduce the risk of neurodegenerative disease. Consistent with this hypothesis, studies have found a decreased risk of dementia associated with prior exposure to various adulthood vaccinations, including those for tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Tdap) [11–13]; poliomyelitis [11]; tuberculosis [14, 15]; herpes zoster (i.e., shingles) [6, 13, 16, 17]; and influenza [11, 18–21].”

Unlike your Nick Cage theory, this has a clear mechanism and is compatible with the understanding of similar effects.

> What do you think is the applicability of this to fiction writing?

Possibly. Knowing how to be terse and how to be meandering is a valuable skill in itself. In the business world, a long winding approach can be helpful to take the spotlight off of something. In the fiction world, maybe you could use long-winded dialogue to establish a particular personality for a character.
I think this argument really suffers from the fact that aerosols from the burning of fossil fuels is currently suppressing the full amount of warming we should be experiencing given the composition of the atmosphere. In other words, we're already masking some of the warming and as we move globally off coal we're going to see warming spike.

>Because that is what the ruling in the case of Roe vs. Wade was, so it's been precedent in the United States for almost 50 years that the right to an abortion explicitly results from the right to bodily privacy.

Your argument appears be that precedents should never be overturned. If that's correct, your argument is obviously bad on the face of it. If that's wrong, I wonder what your argument actually is.
If it is, I have yet to see it. Managers, owners and middlemen making everything a slog to work with is very much a thing in Europe. And when you realize European managers are also sitting on ivory towers relative to ICs, it becomes pretty apparent why this behavior is somewhat universal.

Apple unlock drama was over "all writs act" where FBI compelled Apple to write new software to access user hardware versus using alleged (non)existing capabilities. FBI ended up using third party solutions, but after US gov decided to simply cirvumvent user layer via CLOUD act to simply legistate that manufactures have to make such remote access capabilities available, aka adopting PRC requirements. Seems to me, functionally US is not substantively different than PRC in having legal framework to gather any user cloud data. And with respect to Apple, for reference Apple maintain they didn't have capability to give user data to any government including PRC. They also handed icloud keys to PRC control a few months after Cloud Act, so technically Apple was "compromised" in US before PRC. At end of the day, US domestic lawfares achieves it's nationals security goals.

It is cleaner, but unfortunately it is not explicit. It is a function or a variable? I used to love those things until I noticed its defects.

For example, in C++, a = b can invoke anything. Not sure it is a good idea (except for generic code, there it is useful).

Zig has a philosophy of nothing hidden that I think it is mostly good.

That said, I find D a very nice language, the only problems are:

1. small ecosystem
2. last time I tried, packaging of download and use was... improvable.
I mean it's fine for a system where the only thing that matters is the symptoms. The only reason we care about the extra CO2 in the air is because it's effect on the planets temperature; if we fixed that who cares about the CO2?

It's both funny and sad to see Thomas basically say he wants to gut pretty much all decisions based on the right to privacy and then explicitly carve himself an exception for the interracial marriage decision because vague "well this one has historical precedent" (as if people weren't gay, or having butt sex before 1776).

It really shows that he decided he wanted to overturn Roe, worked backwards and then realized this decision might affect him.
