Your last point is pretty much the one I was trying poorly to make. Individually, cell phones are a safety feature [1] even if they lead some people to think too much in terms of make a call and someone will zip up the mountain and help them down.

[1] In fact, I'd argue that while over-reliance on electronics generally is a poor practice, a cell phone (along with external battery pack) should probably be considered essential safety equipment in most circumstances.
Also, prisons are often located in depressed small town as a stable source of government jobs. Those people don’t want to go back to being in a depressed economy.

The most extreme example of this is that the site of the 1970 Lake Placid Winter Olympics was designed to be used post games as a prison, which it is today.

> make the university a cosigner

I like this idea. It seems that university degrees are a dime-a-dozen these days, and are not necessary for most jobs, just a weed-out requirement.

If universities have to cosign, then they'll probably accept less students, be more stringent on kicking them out, and possibly reduce the bloat and rising tuition costs.

If less people get accepted into college, more will probably look at trade schools.

Universities will have to take a more active role in making sure their graduates get jobs, and that the loan payments (tuition cost) is low enough and an attractive enough option to be payable.

batteries bloating seems to be a common problem. i had my gdp pocket battery bloat after more than a year i think, although it kept working for quite some time after that. i didn't know how to get a replacement though, and eventually replaced the device with a one-mix 1s, whose battery started bloating less than a year later. that too kept working however until i found how to order batteries online. i managed to get batteries for both devices, and revive the gpd pocket.

the new one-mix battery seemed to have problems though, and i thought the problem was that i may have gotten after-market batteries instead of an original one.

but now i figured out how to contact the manufacturer and they asked me to send in the device (which i did without sending the battery) and they discovered that the battery controller was broken. they fixed it and added a new battery for a total of 30USD + shipping.

the gpd pocket battery cost a similar amount.

so the problem is really that getting batteries from overseas adds to the cost.

Using a gun often has a victim. A seriously injured or dead victim. Getting high does not. That difference cannot be overstated.
A majority of prisoners are in for violent crime; or committed a violent crime and pled down. IF more resources were devoted to fighting heinous crimes prison populations would increase since many murders and to a much larger extent rape go unsolved. Not to mention fraud and child abuse.
Actually almost... E.g. the murder rate in the US is about 5x higher than in the UK, in Canada it’s “only” 2.5x lower, though.
It's okay, it's very unlikely that it's not a hybrid.
Also important to note that indigenous people in the US are also often disproportionately affect by these policies. Oftentimes at even higher rates than Black Americans
Given what I keep hearing about laws in general, I assume almost everyone is guilty of enough stuff that if you could prove it and the sentences were consecutive, they'd die in prison.

But at the same time, I'd be surprised if less than 5% of convicts had done the specific crime they were sentenced for even under the assumption of the entire law and justice system being fair, impartial, and skilled.

(I don't have a word for what I am: I don't believe in anarchy, but I would radically liberalise as much as possible. I would also wildly reduce the punishments for most of the remaining laws are enforced so that perfect enforcement wasn't completely bonkers, and then make enforcement perfect. Normally I see people aiming for one or the other, perfect enforcement or liberalisation, not both).
In this case, it's grammatical, just for a different reason. You can sometimes drop the leading article or pronoun of a clause -- don't know why, just happens sometimes.

("I" don't know why, "it" just happens sometimes.)

Or for instance, if you're viewing a house on the market: "Kitchen is to the left, sitting room to the right; office is upstairs." It's certainly a casual register, but it's no less grammatical than including the articles explicitly.

In the ancestor comment's "Exception is when ...", the article is implied but elided, in the same way. (I inferred "the".) You could argue whether it's effective to drop the article there, because it's ambiguous in the way you noted, but it's still grammatically valid. (Chomsky's "colorless green ideas" is the usual example where semantic sense diverges from grammatical validity.)
> donation they made to some non-profit

Which is another way if saying that they took it upon themselves to redirect a chunk of their customer's own charity budget to causes that the company prefers. And to compound the damage, are doing so out of the customer's remaining income as already reduced by taxes.

Amazing that the public keeps falling for this, over and over.
The only thing that can maybe be understandable for us is an infinite universe. What was before 0? -1. What before that? -2.

But how can we ever understand how out of a state of nothingness came something? That is where the science "ends" and the door to philosophy opens.

Those are similar problems like "Why is there not nothing?", "Why are the laws of nature not different?" etc.

Reading the first chapter alone (in particular the section on commodity fetishism) will tell you all you need to know about how economists think, because it tells you why economists think. This is a domain of inquiry that is necessary for any science, but that the economists since Marx have ran from for reasons Marx exposed in Capital itself. Notice that the OP article doesn't even try to justify its categories. How do economists think? Marx responds very simply: ideologically, dogmatically.

It can't work. Prisons in places like Indonesia and the Philippines are objectively degrading and inhumane. That's not winning, and that's not a working system. That's focusing on one aspect of a greater whole at the expense of our humanity.

America has had more than a fair go at a heavy handed anti-drug policy and it was and continues to be a spectacular failure. To sit here at the end of it and say that they didn't go hard enough, (particularly after horrific actions such as poisoning marijuana and therefore smokers with paraquat) is monstrous.
This is a novel concept. I wonder if / when Marginalia will get onboard and implement support for it, too.

It would be cool to be able to push the update signal to a bunch of search engines when I publish a new page (even if all of my websites get virtually no traffic and don't even come up with the appropriate, highly unique keyword combos in Google, Bing, or Marginalia - they don't even have any ads or anything terrible, perhaps terribly boring or SEO unoptimized, haha).

I wonder if there could be a market for something which collects website change information and offers an API to query for new pages / updated pages over the past X time interval across Y set of [interesting] websites. I could see this being useful, sort of like RSS but 100% general purpose.

I'd call it something like Invertdex.

This might be the best comment I've ever received in reply.

It seems like it's either a shared social failure where everyone has access to the same semi-inefficient gov't monopoly, or it's an uneven distribution with some guaranteed failures that are exceptionally painful for a smaller number of people. The net amount of pain/suffering is constant, it's just how we distribute it.

A lot of that violence is the obvious and inevitable side effect of the government pretending it can ban certain marketplaces. Much of that violence disappears if you stop forcing people to conduct business as outlaws.
Is it a fair comparison though?

Norway is relatively small and homogenous compared to the US. And doesn't have a puritanical and pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps culture.

EDIT: I don't mean to defend the US here. It's a terrible system. Rather just point out the societies are so different I don't think what works in Norway can transfer directly to the US.
How could you even get into that business? It seems like something that only the university administration and the lenders can participate in.
All other things being equal, e.g. subscription cost, I'd probably go with the redundancy for safety equipment. Of course, if phone sat is cheaper, that starts to look more attractive in a lot of scenarios, especially less hardcore ones.

Is an investment foolish if it has a positive ROI? I live in Belgium, and even without subsidies and before the current increases in electricity prices, solar panels had a payback period of ~ 10 years (while they generally last ~ 25 years). Why would it be foolish to invest in this?

You say that they would be 10x as efficient in Southwestern USA. But how would you transport the electricity from the USA to Germany? Isn't that exactly the problem that the previous commenter is pointing out? I.e. production is not the problem, transportation is.
Just to be clear, “heavy-handed policies” include the death penalty for trafficking in (at the very least) Singapore and the UAE. It would be intellectually dishonest to not name these things by name.

This argument veers a little bit into “sure it’s harsh but their trains do run on time” territory, at least for me.

What authoritarian countries are able to achieve at the cost of human rights would preferably not serve as inspiration, or even as a point of comparison.
It is a response to:

> The government strains, at extraordinary expense, to pretend they can stop drugs from being made, bought and sold, but they can't.

My point is that whether or not something still happens once illegal does not have much bearing on whether it should remain so. Nor does it signal failure of the policy as long as there is reduction.

Because marijuana being illegal did reduce the production, and consumption.
> I can predict which hospital will have better patient outcomes.

That is quite besided the point. The point being every patient who goes there believes the hospital us doing western blah blah blah...

Let me simplyfy it even more. The common mans dependence of "science" is based on beliefs. Just as it was on religion at an older time.

That scientific method is more trust worthy, does not make that dependence not based on belief. That is the weakest link in the chain, and that link is common to both science and religion.

Ryzen is only 6% behind for multi-core PPW, but The M1 appears to still have a huge advantage in single-core PPW.

I have a half dozen thoughts on this, but the foremost is;

Apple keeping memory on chip, is likely providing a huge memory latency advantage, (1) as well as some power benefits. It would not surprise me if this is a large part of (if not the majority) of the advantage here outside of the bigger decoder.

Think about a single threaded vs multithreaded benchmark; In the case of ST, there's only one thread the prefetcher can deal with, that one thread is going to be waiting for data. In the case of MT, there's a much greater likelyhood that you'll have multiple threads making memory requests, and the latency can be amortized by having the threads do other work (i.e. Thread 1 can start working on data it got back while thread 2's request is already in-flight from controller to DRAM.)

This is one of those moments I miss David Kanter (RealWorldTech, [0]) doing CPU arch breakdowns.

I'm in Canada, and every loaf of bread I've bought in the last few months (Ontario and BC) has cardboard bread ties. The loaf currently in my cupboard is Dempster's brand (a major bread producer), but I'm don't know what the other brands were. The cardboard ties look exactly like the plastic ties, except they're made of cardboard; and they work just as well.

Milk bags still come with plastic ties, but that might be because milk is much heavier and condensation could potentially cause the cardboard ties to get soggy.
Assumptions aren't needed as there is a well-documented history of the US using drug laws to attack certain minority groups. That's not the end all, be all of drug laws (in my opinion) but it is an important part of the history of drug prohibition.

One obvious difference is that hairdressers don't run around yelling "free haircuts we will give you free haircuts look at us how we give away free haircuts".

What the companies are doing here is that they are trying to kill paid competition, hold on longer and raise prices once competitors don't exists. They really dont have a standing to complain about situation they themselves created in the hope that competition will die sooner and in the hope users will be locked too much without any chance.

> Millions will walk by a painting in a museum, but very few have prints, posters or even inexpensive original art in their homes.

Now, this analogy does not work at all, because going by the painting in the museum in no way implies you would want it at home. And that many people dont go to the museums in the first place ... and those who go are more likely to buy some serious art. The other reason it does not work is that people have tons of inexpensive art in their homes. It is ridiculously competitive market. Posters, cups bought only for their pictures, figurines, people buy all of that.
you’re drawing strict lines here and being pretty uncharitable against any hypothetical opposing view. here’s a (real) view which your comment claims is impossible:

TBH, I want legit content for my (previous model). I have a few of the new homebrew console titles on it, and stuffed it with a few PS1 discs I owned (these can be imaged on a modern PC optical drive).

I seriously considered getting a tool to dump the actual legit cartridges I own to populate the unit, but they're surprisingly pricey (I think like 50USD+ last I checked), and it felt like the sort of thing that you'd get a lot of questions about if Customs opened the package. So it largely sits in a drawer waiting for me to play the FF5 PS1 adaptation.

With fentanyl being so potent these days and most guns never winding up killing anybody I wouldn't be surprised if the body count per "retail transaction" wasn't on the same order.

This isn't your 70s hippie weed or 80s crack. Dealing in hard drugs these days is a business with a pretty high body count due to the low LD50 of the substances involved. It's like the addictive substances equivalent of giving dynamite to teenagers. A lot of fun will be had but a lot of bad outcomes too.

The irony is that NEPA has nuked the ability to densify and build infrastructure to respond to climate change. It takes huge amounts of money to even do an EIS, say to build a rail line. So you get voters to sign off on that. Then whatever enthusiasm you built up for that dissipates in the 4-5 years on average that it takes to do the EIS. Then you litigate it for some more years after that. Then a decade later you ask voters for more money to build the thing. By then the project is substantially less attractive due to changes from the EIS process. You present this worse thing to voters, who think they already paid for the subway, and ask them for even more money. And they’re like wtf.
