This is the overreach of a foster parent who had good intentions. Unfortunately, as the saying goes, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." This foster parent, who may have had first-hand experience of what can happen to unsupervised children, caused an issue where none had previously existed.

Regarding the other aspect to your comment, in all US states there is a division or department for the welfare of children. Those are all staffed with people who can make immediate administrative decisions for what they believe to be the welfare of a child. They can immediately take a child away from parents, who they believe to be abusive.

When the person makes the right decision, they and this system are hailed are wonderful. Unfortunately, things like this often happen far too often - administrators turn the life of a family upside down, due to their own beliefs, biases, and power over others.
Not sure why you’re downvoted. I think you just put into words what most of the vaccinated population has been implicitly doing anyway.

I've encountered a few Ricks. The dirty little secret is, they aren't actually as good as they think they are. Have you ever looked at a solo developer project? It'll be full of strange code that matches the mind of the solo developer. THAT's what's happening here. One you let a Rick go, they'll fuck up the codebase, rewriting everything into their own style and pushing everyone else out (because who wants to work on Rick's weird code?). When other developers try to become involved, the Rick will effortlessly jump through layers of abstraction (which Rick wrote) and help them solve the problem. It would take them 10x as long to solve it on their own. Oops - shouldn't have let Rick loose to begin with!

It isn't a matter of stacking more Ricks. Ricks don't like working with Ricks. That'll lead to high drama and one or more Ricks flaming out in a blaze of glory. Each Rick has their own code style, why would they work with someone else's code? If multiple people are all claiming that "The existing design is terrible, let me rewrite it", while the person who made the existing design is still there, and is a Rick, then you'll just have a codebase being torn in multiple directions.

Yes, poor management enables this. If you know how to handle these people, you can surround each Rick with non-Ricks and force them to document their code, and justify every rewrite, etc. Like a nuclear reactor surrounded by graphite. But ideally you want to turn a Rick into a non-Rick. Usually that involves taking them down a notch. Maybe you can set up a John Henry vs the Machine style situation. Have the Rick try to out-code a team of non-Ricks. The Rick can't compete, despite writing 10x as much code. It's almost like layers of abstraction aren't a universal benefit. Huh.
Yea. This reads like sponsored content to me. The claimed downsides of keys are never expanded on beyond the surface layer, nor is there any mention that there are many workflows to remediate / sidestep those downsides. Just a pitch that we can solve all our problems with this one easy SaaS payment.

Defaults very clearly work in matters such as consent to organ donation. In countries where you need to opt out of organ donation, few people bother to do so.

Another question is whether this increases the total amount of successful donations. I was looking around for studies and found this one [1], which basically says "in some countries, yes".

At least at the moment, it's usually more efficient to recycle the good cells from an old pack into a new pack for automotive use. The chemistry between automotive and residential use diverges significantly because they are optimizing for different things: Car batteries minimize weight and maximize power input/output. For residential, weight barely matters at all, but # of discharge cycles and thermal stability matter more*. In 10 years, who knows what the economics will turn out to be though.
Their methods are particularly draconian, but China has managed it. To my knowledge without the mass starvation or collapse of their medical systems alluded by your comment. Probably they couldn't go to Wendy's for a bit though.

I grew up with CPS being reported against my family on multiple occasions. At one point we had 7 CPS reports against us. At the end, CPS sent two people -- one being a supervisor to make sure nothing was missed -- and two sherrifs with a wagon to take away the kids if anything untoward was found. The supervisor determined nothing was wrong and that the CPS reports were malicious and put a note on our file and address stating that further reports need to go that specific supervisor.

We didn't have any trouble after that. But it was very very stressful.
In some contexts +∞ = –∞ (e.g. tan ½π = tan –½π; these both represent the orientation of a line at a right angle).

In other contexts +∞ ≠ –∞ (e.g. log ±0 ≠ log ±∞; these quantities can be thought of as the two opposite ends of an infinite cylinder)
> First, think about how difficult, and time-consuming, it will be for others to digest and review 2500 new lines of code that sprung from someone else's mind.

There's a tradeoff to be made. Have a feature sooner or later. Review now quickly and more carefully later, or review carefully now. Part of what development teams do, is risk assessment.

Put a feature flag on it, do a demo of the branch. If it looks good, do a quick once-over to see if it's interactive with any limited resources, merge it in, make a ticket for a re-review later.

We always love to blame the busybody snitch for this, and we somehow let the government off the hook, or even paint it as a victim.

If somebody reports child neglect, but doesn't report any indications that would invite a reasonable suspicion of child neglect, the government shouldn't be spending any more time on it than on all the other people who don't have any evidence of neglect. They're fearful of doing this, because if there turns out to be abuse or neglect and they got a call, they'll be lynched for it.

They should just triage with consistent rules that respect the individual freedom of parents and their children, accept that sometimes this will cause them to miss something, but not accept that they made a mistake as long as they have a record that they stuck to the rules. If the rules are not good enough, update the rules.

Child protection agencies should do this regardless of the justice system's view of what has happened. Keep a fund for settlements, make guidelines good enough that you won't have to pay them out often, and immediately settle whenever something happens, without taking responsibility. It may not appeal to the sense of justice for an agency to pay when it's done nothing wrong, but child protection isn't a person, it's a function of government, and compensating people who have lost something important to them (like a child, sibling, or grandchild) is restorative.

edit: Blaming the busybody is similar to being content to punish SWATters. We need a system that can receive an anonymous report about an innocent person, and not show up and kill them. There will always be borderline attention-seekers and people who will call in false reports; we need a system that expects them. The system failure is the problem that we can improve on. The scapegoat is an excuse not to improve.

It’s a temporary state. There’s nothing at the core that would make batteries not a commodities, production just needs to pick up (and both suppliers and raw materials producers are making huge investments to make that happen). Plus we’re in a weird state where COVID supply chain issues and overheating of economy makes it very hard to reason about true state of the market.

But please tell me who has that competitive advantage? Tesla? They’re Panasonic/CATL shop, with negligible amount of in house production.
The best online printing I've used is mpix.com. amazing products, great customer service, and good value. I've used them for basic 4x6 prints, larger photo prints, canvas prints, and even a few album books. Never been disappointed in the quality of what they give. You need to start with high quality photo images though, regardless of what you choose to get printed.

For one, Ford also made 1.7 million total vehicles in 2021 (down from 2.5 million pre COVID) so using their EV only rate doesn't necessarily capture the whole picture.

But mainly, they don't need to actually make 600k EVs in 2024 for it to be true that they have contracts in place to purchase that many batteries if needed.

As for Tesla's mining chops, they bought mining rights in 2020 and as of April 2022 they haven't even broken ground, with Elon saying "price of lithium has gone to insane levels! Tesla might actually have to get into the mining and refining directly at scale, unless costs improve."

I guess while Elon has been screaming about it other companies like BYD and CATL have been the ones actually scaling global production.
also, the question is how much structural elements influence outcomes (not merely decisions), not whether they do or not. that’s the extra complexity of a social system built atop a biological system built atop a chemical environment built atop a physical one. we’re complicated. physics is nigh child’s play in comparison.
> Yes it is annoying, but I rather live in a world where the police or CPS chase every frivolous compliant than them unable to do anything without a court order or not stopping abuse enough.

This is what everybody always says. There's a serious problem with that however. Unfortunately CPS makes the situation of children worse, when they interfere, rather than better.

Everybody is always in favour of detecting abuse (never mind that there isn't any reliable method to do that, and most kids get placed effectively randomly, according to research). But when it comes to footing the bill of decently caring for the children ... nothing of that favour seems to be left. CPS is terrible for kids, and of course this raises the question: are they better than abuse at home? Or ... worse?

https://sci-hub.se/10.1257/aer.97.5.1583

Or, more dramatic:

https://www.kansascity.com/news/special-reports/article23820...

The biggest investigation ever into CPS had to come to the conclusion: a kid is better off abused at home than helped by CPS, even in the "average" case of actual serious physical abuse. Worse: most placements are effectively random, depending more on the CPS investigator than on the kid or their circumstances, so most kids in CPS haven't actually been abused. There's all sorts of extra investigations equally bad, for example one concluding that the violence in the life of a child increases when CPS intervenes to protect a child, rather than decreasing.

And that's ignoring the many CPS scandals where CPS employees get caught abusing kids themselves, even renting out children for sex, using them as drugrunners, ...

> Depends, if a person is really abusing a child which unfortunately happens more frequently than we all want to believe, then you would rather have the government intervene without complicated red-tape as soon as possible.

NO, I would not want the government to be enabled to do this. I would want the government to provide options for those children to escape such an environment IF AND ONLY IF they have the "durable" agreement of the child (meaning if the child wants to go back, they can immediately do so).
I just learned that an acquaintance of mine flew on a plane knowing they had tested positive for covid. Or my partner's family just had a family get-together (she didn't go) while one her family members had covid.

In the former case, policy changes to reduce likelihood of people flying with covid (temp checks, affidavits, allowing removal of obviously ill passengers), and to increase ventilation and filtration on planes, and perhaps to even bring back masks or at the very least encourage or incentivize them in times of high transmission.

I don't know that we can do much about the latter case other than better public health education and perhaps PSAs.

Just to think out of the box: How about not creating archives, just leave the files as they are in a directory. For transferring, use a client that preserves directory structure.

The space of such clients and their features or popularity is limited though. Rsync has millions flags that add complexity. Then you have bit torrent. From what I know it doesn’t compress. Others: git, nfs, ftp.
Folks that live in UMC* neighborhoods seldom see much of the "dark side" of CPS.

I know about it from both sides.

First, CPS exists for a reason. I have family that used to run a group home for kids that were made wards of the state. The things that people will do to their own children is infuriating and heartbreaking. I have also been involved in an organization that deals with a lot of this stuff, for years, and have seen it, firsthand.

Child abuse also happens in UMC neighborhoods, but those folks are usually better at chasing away CPS cases, so you generally hear about them in less affluent areas, where the people don't have the means to fight (and also, the stress of living poor will often exacerbate child abuse/endangerment).

Second, CPS is notoriously "un-constitutional." Parents are guilty until proved innocent, and the caseworkers have great authority to be absolute tyrants. Anonymous tips from skeezballs, are given the weight of a policeman's sworn affidavit.

As a result, ratting out single moms to CPS is a favorite pastime of jerk ex-boyfriends. They make the poor girl (and, I guess, nowadays, boy)'s life a living hell, which they often can't bear, as they are already on the balls of their ass; not to mention tying up resources that could be better focused on real child abuse.

People can really suck.

A ton of people in industry don’t know what this period of time was like because they missed it or didn’t have access to computers at the time. This was the short period in history where the following two things were simultaneously true:

1. It was normal and expected to program a computer, if you had one.

2. Computers were inexpensive enough that many families could reasonably own one at home.

If you go too far back in time, computers were either expensive or made from kits, which meant that very few people had them. If you look at more recent periods in history, it was no longer normal & expected to program computers. During this period, your computer came with a manual that explained how to write BASIC, and you could get these Usborne books from the public library.

Nowadays, it is easier than ever to learn programming. There are all these wonderful tools like Scratch. It’s just that the normal way to use computers these days is to use premade software. There are tons of children who could learn to program, could even teach themselves, but who are unaware that the option exists.

I think Mach-e is the only BEV Ford sold in 2021. The E-transit and F-150 Lightning both started sales in 2022. They were selling anumber of PHEVs but many people don't count those as "EV" production.
As a base law, that's helpful, but I'm wondering when it gets into cfaa territory. What if you violate the terms of service to scrape it? What if you have to implement tricks like IP rotating or useragent lying to get the data? What if you accidentally scrape some creative text which is copyrightable, embedded in the recipes and accidentally sell it?
See "useful" — it may not be not quite as strong as you're thinking. It may be possible to write a minimal C program without UB, but I'm thinking of larger programs, more than a few hundred lines. Common UB includes: array access out of bounds, dereferencing a null pointer, use after free, use of uninitialized variables. -Wall -Werror can catch some instances of some types of UB, and runtime libraries like UBSan can catch more. But they're not exhaustive.
The article seemed largely focused on database performance being the deciding factor in scaling. If everything else has been low-code with a traditional rdbms (even if cloud-hosted), would the same conclusion have been drawn?

May be UK is especially cheap for car repair but costs you mention are unrealistic for major repairs on those components. I had gearbox problems on 10 year old car and independent mechanic suggested to sell car to scrap yard - in his opinion trying to fix it will end up costing more than car is worth. It was before Covid inflated used car prices though.

From quick check in google: If you are extremely lucky, you’ll get your transmission replacement completed for $2,500 all in. If yours is one of the more expensive types, it could easily range to $6,000 or even more.

By that criterion, Japan and Germany are likewise "vassal states".
Isn't it obvious?

In theoretical physics, one of a researcher's main concern is to not to make wrong claims. Granted this risk aversion has its own downsides, but the upside is that he is extremely careful on what he takes to be true. So it's not true that not reproducing the research you rely on has limited benefit. It has the huge benefit that the researcher convinces himself he's not introducing wrong premises. Research is already difficult enough without making mistakes in this silly way.
I like the OCaml version. It's both very easy to read and comes out really well in the benchmark.

I also looked at the "simple" Zig version, which came out really well in the benchmark, and to me it didn't look simple at all. It seems you need to make a lot of low level details explicit.

But IMHO AWK takes the crown here. :)

That’s what I was saying, the military used to be socialist, even in the capitalist US. It was definitely socialist during WW2. I think it started becoming real capitalist once the (first) Cold War ended, I think the contractors thing started becoming more and more important throughout the ‘90s and the wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq were fought by a capitalist US military. It’s telling that these 20 years of war (2001 - 2021) didn’t bring us almost anything worthy when it comes to science funded by the military, unlike almost all the other wars in which the US had been involved.

Starlink is mostly a marketing thing, and is mostly based on science that had been funded during the Cold War.
Glad they did this. It should be taught in UX/UI design classes as a cautionary tale.
I guess my problem with your view of 'transness' is that you view it as illness or dysfunction. And it's not that. Turning transwoman to a man is equivalent of turning man to opposite gender in a bad case of gynecomastia. That's not the mind that is a problem, I hope you understand my point.

Dysphoria goes deeper than just bodily dysmorphia, it's about how you see yourself, not only your body. So changing my mind to make me something I'm not (a man) sounds like a horror - some kind of upgraded lobotomy. That's much more invasive than any surgery.
And it's not about culture, it's about understanding that people identities is not a part that you can/should fix.

And speaking about data and science, there is pretty clear evidence that trans people who receive proper care (hormones) and accepted by society live normal happy life as the rest of the people.
