How exactly does a pharmacist not go about breaking a state or federal law and/or not have their license revoked for refusing to fill a prescription, especially since they refused due to their own personal religious reasons?

Edit: Looked into it more, and it appears there are several states that legally protect a pharmacist who refuses to fill a prescription based upon personal religious reasons. There are even some states that allow the pharmacist to confiscate the prescription, requiring the person to get another one (if it was paper only). What the hell is wrong with people...

Currently we're talking about small islands. But why would an industrialized area built enough storage now if we don't have enough supply? Germany for example gets about 40-50% of its electricity from renewables (averaged over a year), with hardly any storage. Yet only a few percent of the renewable supply are wasted. We're very far away from getting 50% of our primary energy from renewables, so we could plausibly wait with building storage until that goal is achieved. If we had a proper carbon price, we could let the market figure out when it is most economical to start building storage for multiple days...

Twitter doesn't say that 5% of all accounts are bots. While I don't have inside knowledge of how Twitter does things, the industry standard is to:

1. Build a classification model to determine whether an account is a bot or not.

2. Measure the precision/recall curve of that model, and pick a threshold where the precision would be >95% (i.e. >95% of what the model labels as "humans" are really humans).

(Higher recall leads to lower precision and vice versa. Higher recall means a higher mDAU, so it's a balancing act between a high number versus a high confidence in that number.)

3. Let the model loose on all accounts.

4. The number the model tags as humans is the "mDAU", though <5% of these might be false positives.

While this model takes a lot of training data to build, verifying its continued precision/recall characteristics can be completed with very little ongoing sampling - easily handled by the "100 a day" figure Musk has claimed.

This is perhaps a limitation on the story since its about Alexander, so obviously it more from the Macedonian or even from Alexanders point of view. The story is Alexander-centric.

Just today my inner voice was refraining the saying(which I learned online, but appears to be of military origin) "fast is smooth, smooth is slow".

Many of my most productive workflows have come from finding smoothness. There's a lot of stop/start in digital: something commanding your attention that is not the task, that needs immediate resolution. Often the "proper" way of dealing with it means stopping again, and the "improper" way blows up down the road. Deal with that a few times and suddenly I find myself browsing Twitter, because I've reached a "good stopping place." When that happens, it doesn't matter that it was "fast". I did one part of the actual thing fast, and then I wasted the rest of the time.

Have you tried using it as an external monitor? It can't even hit 60fps reliably, and there is noticeable lag and compression. As an external monitor, it really sucks.

You can augment your ears and eyes by purchasing night vision tubes (more tubes are better, better light input area and field of view, but they ultimately need to combine into two phosphor screens projecting into your eyes), a active hearing protection headset, and possibly a HUD projector to attach to the front of one of the night vision tubes. Attach all that to a high-cut helmet, and possibly a battery/compute/etc unit under your rear plate. More modern active hearing systems (3M Comtac V/Ops Core AMP/possibly others) let you set how much you want outside sounds to be amplified, and do advanced signal processing to prevent passthrough of not just loud explosive noises, but other noises that would normally prevent you from comfortably turning up the amplification as high as you might want to hear potentially relevant sounds. I guess strapping 50,000 USD worth of stuff to your body just to look like a mix between a 1990s MIT Mixed Reality Lab reject and mass shooter might be a deterrent to people actually doing this though.
So, Twitter got hacked and was pulled in by the FCC and has had to submit periodic reports on how they're keeping data secure. And then they got hacked again, and now they got hacked again.

As a whole for social media at least.

For items that are of national security and high sensitivity in the business world, personal devices are regularly being used in many cases (Non Gov Furnished Equipment) as well, and that thoroughly defeats the purpose too.

The people that seek that level and volume of data are not usually simple amateurs that stumble upon script tools, they are usually engineers, info warriors, and even massive operations themselves with funding, skill, and human resources to get what they want. The best ways to secure data is at the system level and by not collecting data that is not needed for direct relevance to system function to begin with.

Nowhere is it written that a public library must be publicly funded. Thousands of libraries across America have been founded and funded with private donations. Andrew Carnegie alone funded the construction of 2509 public libraries around the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_library

>It seems like your argument is that alternatives don't have PowerQuery. That might be true (I don't even know what it is), but isn't that like saying Linux can't compete with Windows, because it doesn't have Internet Explorer? I mean, it doesn't, but there are excellent alternatives that can accomplish exactly the same task.

It's true that Google sheets and LibreOffice don't have Powerquery, and that's a big pain. But the worse thing is that they don't have tables. As in, the "format as table" button in Excel. As in, the bread and butter of anyone who gets serious work done in Excel.

Maybe it's a problem of naming -- "format" makes people think it's just about aesthetics, but actually it imparts real semantic structure onto a rectangular grid of data. It also isn't the same thing as pivot tables, with which they are often confused. It gives the grid a name that you can refer to in formulae, and the columns are named too, with their names living inside the table namespace ("structured references" is what Microsoft calls it). The table automatically expands its boundaries when you start typing a column header to the right of the current columns, and likewise it expands to comprise the row beneath it if you type values into that row. And it has smart indexing: there's special syntax to refer to "this table" and "this row" in formulae.

So you can have say, a table named "ExpensesTable", labelled "Date", "Type of Expense" and "Amount" in columns A:C. Then you can type "Tax" at the top of column D, it will expand the table to include a new blank column for Tax. Then in D2, type

=[@[Amount]] * 0.2

and it will automatically fill down the Tax column with 20% of the value of the Amount columns. Then in a cell outside the table, do

=sum(ExpensesTable[Amount])

to get the total amount of expenses. These are both simple examples; you can do more complex and interesting things involving multiple columns, ranges of columns, joins, etc. The point is the semantic structure that makes your spreadsheet more than just a rectangular soup of cells, so you don't have to claw through endless cryptic "G70:$K100" cell references. If we add a new row or column, we don't have to alter any formulae at all; the bounds are automatically resized on the cell arrays that the column names refer to. Think of it like a mutable resizable dataframe. It's the core data structure of an efficient, scalable, maintainable Excel document.

More about structured references: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/using-structured-...

Also the "You Suck At Excel" talk by Joel Spolsky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nbkaYsR94c

And no, I have no idea why the eggheads at Google don't implement this for Sheets. Maybe Microsoft has a patent on it? Wouldn't surprise me. But this is why you'll have to pry Excel out of spreadsheet jockeys' cold dead hands -- the alternatives don't have this basic thing.
> There has to be some kind of release valve for software to evolve and break backwards compatibility.

You kinda insinuate that breaking backwards compatibility is kinda necessary at times.

This is not the case. Projects like

* the Linux kernel, or

* the GNU C library, or

* the Numeric -> Numpy transition around Python 2.0, or

* Common Lisp (which is much older than Python) adopting Unicode

are good examples that this is not necessary. It is not true that you have to break backward compatibility.

There are domains where breaking backwards compatibility in libraries is not acceptable at all, like vendor libraries in industrial automation. You don't throw away a 15-year old printing machine or a chemical plant just because the vendor of the automation software is tired of supporting its old interfaces.

That might sound strong, but others have expressed it more strongly. Read this: https://linuxreviews.org/WE_DO_NOT_BREAK_USERSPACE

How it is done? It starts with well-designed interfaces. And when interfaces are changed, the old interfaces are kept and become special cases of the new ones. Numeric/Numpy is a good example.

Here is a talk, brilliant as always, by Rich Hickey which explains why and how:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyLBGkS5ICk

It is highly relevant to Nix and Guix.

Python3 could have gone the same way - keeping the interpreter compatible to Python2 code, making the semantics dependent on whether a source file has a *.py or a *.py3 extension, and so on. It would have been more work but the transition would have been nearly painless, and I guess much faster. Support for old stuff does not need to go on forever - for example, Linux does not support any more Intel 386 CPUs.

It boils down to whether keeping stuff backwards-compatible is a goal of the project leaders or not.

The Anarchists Cookbook used to be found in libraries. I'd hope it still is, along with books on energetic backyard chemistry. Not a 100% match, but in the ballpark.

Not sure about motorcycles, but I'm sure you can find war casualties. Napalm girl https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phan_Thi_Kim_Phuc at the very least.

> Hard core rape pornography?

Libraries do not typically carry porn. In fact, that's part of what the detractors would say this is about - that the pro-trans books sometimes contain pornographic images. (Of course, no one cares about 50 Shades or bodice rippers...)
There's a bit of backstory to how this phrase evolved into a slur. It started out with rumors about trans people online who think transitioning will solve all of the problems for some people. They are often called pinkpillers. This became a pretty common stereotype on 4chan, epitomized as the "discord groomer" who teaches people how to buy dark web hormones.
Then the news about gender stuff being taught in schools started. This, alongside increasing awareness of detransitioners (for example the book Irreparable Damage) gave a new narrative of teachers "grooming" students into being trans.
At that point the whole thing began to snowball and with resentment toward corporatised LGBT stuff everywhere "groomer", started being thrown around as a slur for any and all LGBT, to imply that they're pedos.
I guess it's just another test in the grand experiment of whether our country's firmware is the most successful choice over time. Do people's expressed self-interests (or those guided by some aspect of human nature) being allowed to update the firmware lead to optimum progress of society? On what timescale? Who is to say except on looking back afterwards?
