> The original no-action letter offers no justification either,

This is also not the correct place to look.

The original no-action letter is after the discussion was had, and everyone was already on the same page, so of course that wouldn't be the place where they explained their premise.

Twice in a row you've looked in a place nobody would ever put it, and said "well it's not there, so I guess nobody ever explained it."

This conversation holds no value to me. If you choose to be unable to find this wholly documented thing, so be it.

.

> Nothing in any of the letters has anything resembling justification

You've only looked in two places for an explanation, and they're both after the decision, where an explanation would never be.

Once this could be excused as a simple mistake, but you circled back around and did it again with a bright light already shone on the mistake.

Good luck to you.
> When The Men, Sandra Newman's sci-fi novel in which everyone with a Y chromosome suddenly vanishes from the face of the earth, came under fire for what critics termed the "transphobic" implication that people with Y chromosomes are men, one of the chief questions was whether the author had engaged a trans sensitivity reader.

Could movies like Children of Men be made today? Would it be seen as anti-trans because it doesn't account for trans men? It's one thing to say there is sex and there is also gender. But the current trend is toward denying sex and only ever talking about gender.
That's fair, everyone's mental health journey is unique, and you deserve a lot of credit for working on yourself and figuring out what's contributing to your depression.

When I say capitalism, I'm mainly referring to it in the sense of "internalized capitalism", as an ideology. It's the idea that your self-worth is only as valuable as your income or economic output and that if you aren't capable of that, you aren't worthy of basic things like shelter, food, and healthcare and therefore don't deserve to live since you are a burden on hardworking people with money. I'd really encourage you to research that since it can help untangle assumptions you might have about yourself, based on what society has been teaching you is the "right" way to live and what expectations you should have of yourself.

I think the things we think of as societal trends contributing to social decay have capitalist ideology and assumptions as the underlying thing that ties them together. Capitalism promotes individuality over communities sharing resources because that increases consumption, since then everyone needs to buy their own instance of something. You're expected to leave home at 18 because that's just what you're supposed to do to be a "normal" young adult, even if you're not financially or emotionally ready, and that also means that you have to consume more to support yourself instead of your parents continuing to share with you. We're taught that "greed is good" and hoarding individual wealth and power is better than making small sacrifices to ensure the well-being of everyone in the community.

Personally, rejection of religion was a positive for me, since at a young age I recognized the hypocrisy of Christianity as it was being practiced versus how it was presented in the gospels. This article written by a priest articulates this feeling that I've had for a really long time, that most of what is called Christianity in the US barely resembles it:

> Inasmuch as the two major political parties in America are both “liberal” in the classical sense—the one devoted a bit more to something like John Stuart Mill’s economic philosophy, the other a bit more to something like his social philosophy, and neither of them to the communal ethics of Christian tradition—it is hard for most Americans to make sense of such views. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Christianity has never really taken deep root in America or had any success in forming American consciousness; in its place, we have invented a kind of Orphic mystery religion of personal liberation, fecundated and sustained by a cult of Mammon.

My self-esteem improved immensely once I became an atheist and stopped guilting myself and tried to stop living up to others' expectations of how I should think and act, and this helped me become a more open-minded and empathetic person. Though, I will admit that although there's a lot to be gained from rejecting organized religion (as a human institution), there's also a void of community and spirituality that's left.

Anyway, thanks for being open about your struggles.
I’m an atheist, lol, but I still geek out on biblical archeology and ancient languages.
Haxe is really unusual and interesting, and I don't think it gets talked about enough.

> Haxe can build cross-platform applications targeting JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP, Flash, and allows access to each platform's native capabilities. Haxe has its own VMs (HashLink and NekoVM) but can also run in interpreted mode.

Compiling from one language to another isnt particularly unusual, but compiling from one language to so many is very unusual. On first impression it sounds unserious—real compilers output machine code—it's tempting to denigrate it by calling it a transpiler. But there are a lot of advantages that come with this approach. You always have access to the full capabilities of your target platforms. From a single language you can write code that is massively portable while also targeting specific platforms with just an if statement.

The "real" compiler authors spend months working on linkage, calling conventions, runtimes, symbol mangling, allocators, and debuginfo trying to get their native code to link properly to the objective-c frameworks on iOS—and it never feels quite right. If you instead compile to objective-c, a lot of things get easier. It's a very pragmatic approach.

Spacemonger is probably the oldest piece of non-updated software I still use. I've been using it continuously for over 20 years, about the same length as I've been using Winamp 2, and just recently used it to clear out some large files to create a full-disk backup.

It still works blazing fast on hard drives that are 1000 times the size than the drives that existed when it was programmed, and nearly as well as 20+ years ago (there are some occasional crashes when removing some system protected files, but easy to just open it up and scan again). I never made the jump to Spacemonger 2 because in the early years that I started using it, I was in high school without a credit card.

I emailed the author in December 2020 to see if there was a way to enable HiDPI on it, since that's the only real flaw of it right now. He responded 3 months later with a very personal message that I really appreciated.

This is not very surprising: you should know that inflammation is a very non-specific and general phenomenon. It's difficult to think of *any* disease where inflammation doesn't play an important role in the pathophysiology.

If you have any medical condition whatsoever, you can pretty much assume that inflammation is in play. That applies to obese and sedentary people too, as well as people with bad diets.

Therefore if a doctor were to tell you that you have inflammation, it would arguably not be adding much useful information, other than serving as basic patient education.

Indeed the systems used for real engine design generally make use of the differential-algebraic equation form in order to have conservation and preserve the rigid body properties. But to do this accurately, you usually arrive at an Index-2 DAE, so you then have to use Pantelides algorithm to do an index reduction before hitting it with an integrator like DASSL. So it takes an order of magnitude of work to hit that extra accuracy and efficiency. But if you don't have Dymola or ModelingToolkit.jl hanging around, this at least decent. Agreed RK4 is a weird thing for people to default to: with almost no work you can at least do better than RK4 at least with Dormand-Price, Tsit5, or SSP methods.

> a fourth-year Yale medical student describes how the specter of step one affected his priorities. In his first two years of medical school, he had “immersed” himself in a student-led committee focused on diversity, inclusion and social justice, and he ran a podcast about health disparities. All that political work was made possible by Yale’s pass-fail grading system for classes, which meant that he didn’t feel compelled to put studying ahead of diversity concerns. Then, step one “reared its ugly head.” Getting an actual grade on an exam might prove to “whoever might have thought it before that I didn’t deserve a seat at Yale as a Black medical student.”

> Virtually all medical schools admit black and Hispanic applicants with scores on the Medical College Admission Test that would be all but disqualifying if presented by white and Asian applicants, and some schools waive the MCATs entirely for select minority students.

> The solution was obvious: abolish step-one scores. Since January, the test has been graded on a pass-fail basis. The Yale student won’t have to worry that his studying will cut into his activism. Whether his future patients will appreciate his chosen focus is unclear.

> A physician-scientist reports that his best lab technician in 30 years was a recent Yale graduate with a bachelor’s degree in molecular biology and biochemistry. The former student was intellectually involved and an expert in cloning. His college grade-point advantage and Medical College Admissions Test scores were high. The physician-scientist recommended the student to the then-dean of Northwestern’s medical school, where the scientist worked at the time, but the student didn’t even get an interview. This “white, clean-cut Catholic,” in the words of his former employer, was admitted to only one medical school.
In answer to your second question: no, not really. The only thing to learn is that, like a certain North Pole elf, Tonto is a work of fiction. As is the Lone Ranger.

Not true. Protein folding is just as incomputable as the halting problem. Read up on chaperone proteins. They manipulate the protein as it folds to change the final structure.

Producing a list of biologically common folds of a protein sequence without access to the actual environment they see is directly analogous to producing a list of all reachable statements in a program over all possible inputs.

Biological processes are analogous to running a program once on a well tested input.

Prion-based diseases are like fuzz or pen testing the folding process.

Yeah that's what I meant by save them.

> Reverts are not too bad becuase they are pretty meaningful.

I was responding to: "I still revert rather than reset and don't force push".

Say you are working privately on a branch, saving your work, etc. You realize you made a silly error, and need to undo a commit. Creating a revert commit here is a pretty serious error of git organization imo. Typically you do not want to save this work... it is just your private mess as you were working through the problem, and when you are done and have solved it, you want to save the final result, as clean history, perhaps as multiple commits, perhaps as one.

After you have published your work publicly, then yes, you need to do a revert commit if you made a mistake.

https://github.com/dion-systems/metadesk seems to be the repo for their prototype.

It seems like it's vaguely similar to SGML but with small but significant differences: instead of <a>blah blah</a> you say a: "blah blah", the node labels can be user data instead of just structure, attribute values are full subtrees instead of just strings, and attributes syntactically precede the node, so you say @foo(bar) baz instead of <baz foo="bar"/>.
I see where you are coming from but I can also see you are missing the point.

> No money was created in the above example because neither Alice nor Bob are banks. You could also argue that even if Alice was a bank, there is no actual problem because the money has not actually been created, the bank is merely claiming the money is there, as people discover from time to time when there's a bank run.

Creation of money is an abstraction. When Alice made a loan to Bob, Bob got a deposit in their bank account but Alice never lost her deposit. Alice sees the same thing as her asset as Bob sees as his liability. However, both can trade the asset/liability for goods and services. This is creation of money, via fractional reserve, since both the lender and borrower can trade goods with the same base money.

> Not quite. The above example is a thought experiment just to demonstrate that a common argument about money is false, but if we want to take it seriously then by the end of the process Bob has no money but he now owns a productive business. In reality of course there are more people than just Alice and Bob, so Bob will hopefully sell to more people and get rich that way.

And that is the point. Bob can pay off his debt by selling goods to others. But those others they sell the good too also only have money if it was created via debt somehow. Not a single human bootstrapped with dollars. It was all created via a loan on some balance sheet and the human simply acquired it via trading of their work.

> You're mixing up several different concepts. No wealth was destroyed in the Alice/Bob example. Both Alice and Bob ended up richer. Alice ended up with widgets, and Bob ended up with a business. Wealth was created, not destroyed.

Wealth obviously was destroyed. At the inception of the loan, the total amount of money in the system was money owned by Alice2. When the debt was payed off, the total amount of money in the system was Alice1. While it is true that Bob ended up with a business, it is also true that the amount of money in the economy has shrunk. Wealth was created with the new business but wealth was also destroyed with the asset/liability draw eliminated to zero.

What helps really understanding this wealth effect via fractional reserve is scaling your example to the entire dollar economy. By your example the total amount of money in the system effectively is zero because ultimately it is all two sides of the balance sheet. Yet, wealth is still measured in assets whose value goes up by that asset being more valuable through others spending money that was created via debt.

LOL. Reputation is laggy, easy to manipulate, and easy to bypass.

> warranties

Insurance contracts are even harder to analyze for quality than cars, so you have replaced a small problem with a big problem.

> Miele dishwasher.

I am glad you are happy, but I am not in a position to assess if there is wisdom in your happiness. In markets where I am in a position to analyze the wisdom in premium options... you have to pay a very high dollar premium for a very small edge in quality. Buying cheap and hoping for the best (70% 1x, 30% 2x) absolutely pummels buying premium in cost efficacy (90% 2x, 10% 4x), even though the cost premium to produce quality is small. In other words, "market for lemons" fits my observations of market price structure while "reputation and warranties are totally great" just doesn't fit the evidence.
No one here claimed that every problem has been solved by public policy.

There could be mutiple safety redundancies built into the vehicle, like emergency deployment of large balloons in case of mechanical failure and a smaller propeller that lets the driver navigate to a safe landing spot in a parking lot. Also, emergency batteries, emergency propellers, airbag deployed below the vehicle so it softens the landing (and any injuries for the people smooshed).

Laptops are not an emergency item. when the power goes out I for one don't go immediately looking for my laptop. I look for my phone, and then immediately go looking for any flashlight, because I need to save as much power as possible until the power is back up.
