None or few of those options are particularly accessible (EDIT: for people who cannot walk/cycle long distances). Public transportation often is quite inaccessible while still claiming to be accessible (like the London Underground and the New York Subway). Central management of driverless cars could solve the problem in a more inclusive fashion and isn't just more of the same idea. We should still reduce the size of the vehicles, though.

EDIT clarification: Accessibility for wheelchair users, blind people, and anyone with ambulatory restrictions. Most stations are not wheelchair accessible to the train and having to go on much longer routes to compensate is not equal access. And many 'encouraging other use' initiatives block all cars, leaving these people in the lurch. Something that gave door-to-door access to everyone, equally, via a fleet of cars, could be superior.

By all means, I agree that everyone should be responsible for their actions. It is by this same principle that I believe that YouTube should be responsible for what they publish. The "the problem isn't the library" argument falls short if the library is actively banning books that offer information on the hazards and risks of the "how to manufacture large amounts of chlorine gas using just kitchen appliances" books they happily put on the shelves.
Most places in Massachusetts sell a pretty wide variety of oil-based tinctures that you can precisely meter out (5 - 10mg/ml, with a little dropper). Often there are varieties with high ratios of CBD:THC as well, like 1:1 and 10:1. Easier than cutting up a gummy.
I'd venture to say that internet food snobs have also ruined proper food lessons.

Snobbery can be good or bad. At its best, it allows people to learn from the experience of others and protects against mistakes that aren't bad for the individual but bad for the overall system. But snobs for the sake of signaling status not only make everyone more unhappy, they also ruin the concept that experts actually exist.

The right thing is almost never the opposite of the wrong thing.

To be fair, "Beyond" products (Beyond burgers, beyond sausage) require grocery stores that carry them to place them in the meat section (though the store may also place them with the vegan meats).

The idea is that people will get introduced to "close-tasting" plant-based meat alternatives, and it seems to have worked out pretty well for them, since they've been incredibly successful.

It's been 18 years since I've eaten real meat, so I'm perhaps not the best judge, but they seem very similar to me.

Cheap local colleges are good “enough” but it also depends on the student body, teachers and community.

I personally have come to the conclusion that if you’re an American, you will benefit more from doing it a bit DIY via Western Governors University while you live abroad. That’s what I did and I’m glad for the experience, I was able to enroll into local universities in Japan and complete a Bachelors at WGU.

It’s a great talking point when it comes up for the HR screenings and credits transfer to higher education if I want - but I don’t think I need more than a bachelors.

If short of WGU I’d say find a program abroad that is recognizable by a USA credit body.
Likee: The new app that is putting kids in danger
Yeah, I sort of expected a lizard brain/mammal brain split: features like object avoidance and the ability to pull over don't require the car to know where on Earth it is, and if the car can't identify to side of the road and drive to it safely with local sensors, then it just isn't fit to be on the road. That sort of stuff needs to be operate with an antilock-breaking/"fire the airbags?" level of reliability.

"Where on Earth am I" on the other hand is basically irrelevant to safety. Run it on the entertainment console or whatever. Interpolate position, come up with heuristics, whatever. I mean, it should be like two reasonably competent people on a road-trip -- if you are the driver and I'm the map guy, you aren't going to just stomp on the brakes when I inevitable lose track of where we are (I'm bad at navigating). You'd probably just go along the road while I worked it out, unless I was really confused, in which case you'd presumably pull over somewhere.

Yeah like Plutonium Fountain on the edge of Lastarria in downtown Santiago.

I have witnessed, defended against, or interceded in 6 crimes at this one intersection. One at the fountain itself, which is technically a beautiful statue of Neptune and Amphitrite. Like urchins bathe there, dudes washing their clothes.

It's a dangerous intersection because there's five streets radiating from it. The traffic system is a little anti-pedestrian, or pedestrianophile, out to fuck pedestrians. So in Santiago there's three crosswalks per residential intersection, figuring if a pedestrian wanted to cross on the missing crosswalk all she'd have to do is cross all the other crosswalks. More efficient. So Plutonium Fountain has a really short light, just really timings, so you have to walk across on a red all the fucking time. And like motorized bicycles crossing reds, cars almost running you over...several traffic violations, just rough. It's also the point where the grid of the city gets warped by the Cerro Santa Lucía, beyond there it is all squares, this is where the Manhattan geometry meets the actual geography, the Cerro Huelén as its also called and the road to the river. Like a bottleneck.

This is where the shit hits the fan.

I can predict with 1 likelihood there'll be twenty crimes at that fountain in the next month. Not with machine learning! Just spinal. And of course I'm not going to waste the sight I have on figuring out how many more crimes there will be, but there will be twenty and there will be more. Like twenty and six, twenty and seven, there are twenty and there are also seven. Twenty and some other amount.

> Alcohol isn't naturally occurring in harvested produce - it's an output from a process.

Ethanol is naturally occurring.

That said, I agree that including alcohol here is bizarre. As far as I can tell there has never been a monotonic increase in ABV; instead, there is a large selection ranging from high alcohol content to even alcohol-free (which is so unpopular in the US as to be barely worth mentioning, but quite popular in Germany, and I'm now seeing large and even regional breweries in the US produce AF versions of their most popular beers).

> Unless they're talking about distillation

Most alcoholic beverages are made through some sort of distillation process, so I'm not sure what difference you're alluding to here.
weird, I have the exact opposite for where I shop for cheese. The blocks are usually cheaper (usually like half as much). Though they like to play games with the prices. Where 16oz will be one price one week and 2 8oz will be more than the 16. Then 2 weeks later the opposite will be true. The downside is grating it takes time. But if you do go with block get a firmer cheese. Some of the brand names will not be very firm and slime out the grater. I usually have pretty good luck with the 'store brand'.
This "Helios" is Drew DeVault's new kernel, an seL4-inspired microkernel, not the old Unix-like Transputer OS by Perihelion (https://www.geekdot.com/helios/helios-the-transputer-os/)

Of course, a port of Doom to a Transputer (network), e.g. the Atari ABAQ/ATW, would also be nice to have :). If you don't have enough Transputers, there's an emulator for the Raspberry Pi Pico (2040) now which also implements Transputer links using the 2040 PIO programmable state machines - http://trochilidae.blogspot.com/2021/07/stack-based-with-os-...
And put toilet paper rolls on with the "feed" side towards the wall.
> Alcohol isn't naturally occurring in harvested produce - it's an output from a process

Fermentation is a natural process. Alcohol naturally occurs in overripe fruits. Humans first discovered it by accident - fruit juices or grain-water mixtures left out would become alcoholic. In fact, non-fresh non-alcoholic fruit juice only became a product in modern times, because it was only in the modern period we developed the technology to stop the natural process of fermentation.

That said, natural fermentation (without distillation) can only get you up to 18% ABV - beyond that, it poisons the yeast and they stop producing alcohol. To go higher you need distillation/fortification.
> It's not just a "commonly taught idea that businesses should focus solely on generating profit", it's the fundamental principle upon which economies are built today almost anywhere in the world.

It's hardly the fundamental principle. The fundamental principle is that people need things to survive and its more efficient if people specialize and trade than if everyone creates everything they need.

The pervase idea that businesses should focus solely on generating profit is also directly responsible for lots of problems almost anywhere in the world from driving out less vicious competitors to rent seeking to externalizing costs to everyone else e.g. via pollution.
In arguments in which the opponent is more concerned with winning as opposed to discovering the correct answer, I don't believe any strategy is particularly effective.

That being said, what steelmanning can offer, is to change the nature of the argument. If done correctly, you can sometimes de-escalate your opponent enough in order to tap into their humanity, and make the argument not about winning. Steelmanning is just a logical way of empathizing with your opponent.

The whole point of the 'trusted news initiative' [0] is to combat the so called 'fake news', and disinformation and to replace that (or at least flag these videos as 'misleading') with actual fact checked articles, videos, etc.

What is happening here is the direct opposite of the TNI [0] and especially YouTube is removing videos unveiling the dangers in these fractal wood-burning videos and are instead promoting these absolutely hazardous and high risk videos whilst still aiding and 'sharing dangerous falsehoods.'.

This isn't the only occurrence but it's quite clear that YouTube as well as the rest of the TNI is a giant failure in stopping disinformation and are instead doing the exact opposite.

The TNI should not be trusted in the first place and is now a disinformation source.

It could easily be the case that a popular channel warning 'DON'T DO THIS' could make the situation worse by telling more people about an idea they would never have heard of otherwise.

The fact that some (presumably less seen) videos haven't been removed (yet) doesn't change this calculus.
Forcing the code to be open is the kind of freedom where restricting locally something enables the freedom globally. Granting the freedom to do whatever with the code will make the code end up used in closed ways, empowering those who close the code.

A similar line of thought is the "paradox of tolerance", which posits that if a society tolerates the intolerant, the tolerance of that society will lessen.

> Things in the realm of anti abortion and pro death penalty break down when you get down to the root of things, which is free will and innocence of the unborn soul

...no?

The essential point of steelmanning is understanding your opponent's perspective, perhaps even finding a better argument for it than they have, even if you disagree with them.

It's perfectly possible to do that even if you think their position is nonsense.

Sometimes you may even find that your perception of their arguments and ideas is incorrect.

> There is literally no evidence for an immaterial soul

There's no hard evidence, but there are things that are, let's say, weird. The hard problem of consciousness is one, and the steady trickle of reports of veridical observations from medical staff treating unconscious NDE patients is another. For that matter, NDEs themselves are odd in absentia the supernatural.

I don't expect people to grant souls or the supernatural based on those things, but they're certainly observed phenomena that some people interpret as evidence for those things.

> there is actually evidence that free will is an illusion

If you're referring to Libet's analysis of the Bereitschaftspotential experiments, there has been some acceptance in the past few years that this paper shows he misinterpreted the data:

So now explain why the left can ignore that amendment, but then pull something it clearly doesn’t say from another?

Getting back on track, you’ll notice what the right is doing is about protecting life. Access to guns is self defense, and now fetal rights for the unborn. The left is about ending life, with Dr assisted suicides, wanting to restrict or remove firearms, and now ending it before it even opens it eyes. Now the left is making a huge deal about not being able to push their life ending ideals on all of us and running around like the world is ending. I reiterate, this is crazy.
