That's really silly when if you need two/all party consent for the evidence to be admissible; you can object that there was no consent without acknowledging who was speaking. And the evidence can be objected to without being listened to by the judge/jury. Surprise evidence is strongly discouraged, and there's a procedure to enter into evidence before it's shown or heard.

On the other hand, illegally obtained evidence is not always prohibited from trial. It's most likely to be prohibited if it's a criminal trial and the evidence was illegally obtained by law enforcement or the government generally. An illegal recording by a non-governmental party, not acting on instructions by a governmental party has nuance and may be allowed.
In my book, the end of the population explosion is good news.

Only the super-rich reaps the benefits of having a very large population.

I am pretty sure we can adapt easily before going extinct.

This is not a problem yet, and we're historically not very good at predicting the future, it won't happen overnight.

By the way, it is my understanding that politicians in Ancient Rome were also worried about the natality issue, for some time as you can see here :

>I'd hate to be the one to have to tell the minority picked last that their civil rights isn't scheduled until 2050.

Can you give me a specific example related to that, as in, name a minority that hasn't yet had their 'civil rights' granted?

Because my take on what's going on kinda aligns with the guy above, there's been a mass push for stuff that isn't any kind of accepted by the general populace (and affects fractions of a percent of people) and it's caused a blowback effect when people get sick of having micro-minority issues make daily headline news when their lives are getting measurably worse.

If you were talking about extending basic civil rights to groups that were measurably disenfranchised I don't think you'd be seeing the same pushback.

Instead we see 'drag queen story hour' repeat x 10. You don't have to be any kind of conservative to realise that drag shows and culture aren't well understood by the mainstream population and that a lot of people are going to get the wrong fucking idea and be annoyed as hell but the left just keep hammering it over and over again, like, it's NOT HELPING YOUR CAUSE. I can see it isn't helping. I can see it's going to create resentment and increase divisiveness. Why can't they see that? Are the walls of their bubble that thick? Do they have that much contempt for the average person?

When I see a new grad say they're an advanced Java developer, I take it was a grain of salt. Then they don't remember what the associative array implementation is called in Java (HashMap). If you don't know your language's standard library implementation of common collections, you're not advanced.

But I make sure to not judge them on that. They're often over zealous and looking for a job, so I don't blame them. The content of the interview is the real meat and potatoes in my experience.

There's also opposite of this problem sometimes. Some kids built a bike trail with jumps by a river in a local park. The local newspaper started running articles how these kids are destroying habitat and nature. Then followed it up with an actual altercation with some Karen and the kids. After a few more articles. The city paid for a bulldozer to go in an bulldoze the ramps the kids build. A year passes and the city awards a half a million dollar contract to local company build a trail and pump track in the same park. The newspaper raves about it. Moral of the story, no one makes money if things are left alone. Also moral of the story, don't trust your local newspaper. Moral outrage can be paid for.

There have been studies.

On one axis the perfect coin-op is trivially easy to get into but almost impossibly hard to master.

On a related axis you trade off progress/satisfaction vs frustration. In a perfect game frustration at failure motivates the desire to make progress. The game produces just enough satisfaction - likely with intermittent reward - to keep players coming back.

Too much frustration and players give up. Too little and they master the game and their quarter lasts for half an hour.

The original PacMan is pretty close to ideal. It's immediately obvious what the goal is, and then you slowly understand how the game is designed and start to master each level.

Battlezone was a failure, because once you worked out (or were shown) the one trick - dealing with the saucer and missiles by staying in reverse - the game became too easy.

There are certainly theories where falling population is not a problem. (There's a theory for everything.) The question is whether those theories are right. One issue for economic growth is that many modern theories claim that growth is driven by ideas and innovations. Fewer people might lead to fewer ideas and innovations. If so, then we will be poorer as a result.

Here's a 2010 review suggesting population decline is no biggie: https://academic.oup.com/oxrep/article-abstract/26/4/583/453...

Update: here's a paper by Charles Jones. This might be better because (1) Charles Jones is rather famous growth economist and (2) it focuses specifically on population decline rather than population ageing.

> Am I wrong, or would it just be better to create more housing in ways that created affordable housing (rent control, public housing, and so forth) instead of trying to see if "market" forces of supply / demand fix the issue?

I think you're probably wrong, yes. Having lived in cities with rent control, what I've observed is people who get into a rent-controlled apartment simply NEVER leave it. They pass it down to family members. They unofficially sublet it for years. They are not particularly poor, they just are paying below market for rent so why would they ever give up that sweet deal? And therefore one rental unit is off the market, and the rest of us are competing for the remaining apartments and subsidizing the low rental unit. I would prefer we let rents equalize based on supply and demand, and the government just supplement the rent of low income individuals.

But, now that the pandemic is over, anyone not > 50 miles away from the office has been encouraged to get an exception. The implication being, you will return eventually

While I have no argument with the conclusion, I don't see (in brief skimming of the linked Neurology article) anything to address the possibility that it works the opposite way. Dealing with lots of other people can be cognitively taxing, and people who isolate themselves from others are perhaps doing so because they know they aren't very good at it.

Again, I believe the basic conclusion that isolation is bad for your brain is likely true, but I'm not sure I agree that this is strong evidence for it. People who sit in wheelchairs a lot have low leg strength; the wheelchairs aren't usually causing it.

Unlikely as people are already producing semiautomatic firearms with consumer level 3d printer technology. There are even competitions out there already such as the Makers Match.

There are some firearms part manufacturers that utilize 3d printing for part production. The company that made the first fully printed .45 1911 handgun uses printers to produce parts for sale.

I grew up in the rural midwest so my firearm experience goes back to the single digits of age. It was expected I would take the firearms and hunter safety courses that the state provided. I believe that such courses should at the very least be the minimum required for anyone purchasing a gun.

No, but if you're renting an apartment and a pipe bursts, your landlord may be legally required to put you up in a hotel, depending on your local tenancy laws. You're exhibiting some pretty extreme black&white thinking here, and that's really making it hard to interpret your statements as good-faith efforts towards curious conversation.
This effect is probably accelerated by most teams wanting a limited set of technologies and lower mental burden.

The problem is that basic infrastructure is never economical. Say you live in the midwest and your house is only worth $40k. If we looked at everything from a neoliberal market theory angle, the city would never ever rebuild the roads or sewers in this neighborhood, because that would cost millions of dollars to serve a couple hundred thousand dollars of property value for individuals who aren't making more than a couple tens of thousands a year, and they might as well live in mud brick huts because that's about the only way you can turn a profit while building infrastructure with these paltry tax revenues you can collect. This is why we have public services versus anarchy and privatization (the neoliberal paradise), because necessary things for everyone are not always going to turn a profit.

At the time this was done, the Kanopy model was that when you watched a movie, if you were the first one to watch it from your library, it would trigger an expensive purchase ($80–100, as I recall) after which subsequent viewings would be free. This led to unpredictable costs to the library. I think that they’ve since moved to a pay per view model line Hoopla uses which is why movies will sometimes disappear from the service.
Yes, exactly this. Purchasing a DVD is priced differently for a) home use only, b) public screening, c) lending/circulating to public

I don’t think a library would sign up to Kanopy if it wasn’t somehow more attractive to them over DVDs.

The connection between Alzheimers and viral disease has been known and studied for some time, particularly but not exclusively for Herpes Simplex 1. The dead end pursuit of amyloid plaques as causative has delayed other research for decades.

It's time to take a much closer look at viral disease, possibly including influenza, as a fundamental cause.

I wouldn't quite say they're gamechangers, but they're exactly what I happened to need.

Variadic generics will (I hope) be very nice for typing pre-2.0 SQLAlchemy code. `Query[*Ts]` or similar would be a natural type for many values from the ORM API, and hopefully allow expressing types for query transformations like adding or removing columns, joining to specific query shapes, adding arbitrary subqueries, etc.

The self-type might unblock a testing tool I haven't shipped because the DX isn't where I want it. IIRC: normal TypeVar binding plus the TypeVar hack for self-types, interacting with Mypy's particular way of detecting the type of a descriptor, interacting with the way the project uses mixins, sometimes produce types that technically aren't wrong but lead to spurious type errors in user-defined data fixtures. So I'm probably the only one on earth with this particular problem.

I don't know, it's been a while. Maybe it won't work. But the self-type hack is noisy anyway and getting rid of it is nice.

Shipping TOML in the standard library means I can drop a bunch of Tox gymnastics in projects that support pyproject.toml or TOML-based configuration in addition to the older standards, and now I'm not stuck either forcing certain TOML libraries on people or working out a way to plug in their choice. It's not that hard, but complexity multiplies, and now it's one less thing to deal with.

> Fan cars can only suck downward

This doesn't really seem like that big of a disadvantage to me. You can just keep increasing downforce until the tires are able to give you the traction you need for any maneuver. It seems like that should scale as far as you need it to, and be way more efficient than rockets. I guess the limits would be in the tires and suspension.
Does openstreetmap actually actually have a website I can use as a consumer? I thought they provide map data for others to use?

I'm not totally sure I follow, as you can re-reference/manipulate the subquery as much as needed. Is it for some kind of dynamic programming like finding a column containing a certain value

SELECT cols from table where <ANY_COLUMN> like '%foobar%'"

which would need to dynamically insert values into the query

select col1 from table where col1 like '%foobar%' union select col2 from table where col2 like '%foobar%' union ...

This type of usage is not possible/prohibitively difficult in standard SQL but I'm interested to know if it's a different use-case.
Former cyclist here.

Most sports cyclists consider 5% a "steady climb". I don't doubt that you regularly pass cyclists on both, but for a sports cyclist I can confirm that - as the OP said - 6% is considered a mild gradient.

Cycling races regularly have hills above 10%. For example in the recent Giro d'Italia race the final 10km of the Blockhaus climb average 9.4% and the final 6km of the Santa Cristina are over 10%.

If you aren't looking to climb hills you'd avoid it for sure, but that isn't what the OP claimed.
