This article is specifically about _lead_, which is used (up until now, with very few exceptions like Mogas) exclusively in GA piston aircraft.

In fact, leaded aviation fuel is the largest source of lead emitted to the atmosphere in the US.

Eliminating GA tomorrow _would_ make a dent on the lead exposure of those who live near GA facilities.

See this study that attempts to quantify the damage done to IQ because of this additional lead: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5338738/#:~:tex....

It's hard to empathize with a belief system that thinks pricing a native population out of their own country is fair. I suppose if you hold that everything should be subordinate to economics, including community and nationhood?

While you raise some good points this a very politically biased opinion, and in some points also completely deceptive - e.g. our infant mortality is 8x lower than in 1982: https://www.pordata.pt/en/Portugal/Crude+death+rate+and+infa...

I'll just comment on the taxes, as someone who owns a business - yes, they are high. But not that much compared to the rest of Europe. I'm sure by now you're thinking "but other countries make a lot more money!!" - and that's exactly why taxes are high here. Our GDP is much lower, so if our tax rates were also lower, how would the government afford machines for hospitals, vehicles, fuel, and so on when all these things cost the same as elsewhere in Europe? The only thing that is significantly cheaper here is labor, after all...

Yes, things aren't good. But there's no easy solution either. I personally prefer to pay higher taxes than to compromise our public services further, or privatize them in a fuck-the-poor way.

I disagree vis-a-vis stereotypes. I personally subscribe to the idea that in a society constructs do tend to serve a specific evolutionary purpose. That is true for god, society, or stereotypes. They exist in ways that may obscure their purpose, which is ( was? ) tribe survival.

<<This is significantly complicated when considering that stereotypes weren't created in a vacuum, either.

Absolutely correct, they exist as a result of observed facts and carried down as memes throughout society at large. You can question their accuracy, but there is a reason they exist and thrive.

<< which still doesn't mean they are good predictors of individual behavior

They are good enough for an individual predictions, which is all an individual is concerned with. The issue starts when it is being used more broadly.

<< If 50 years ago a bunch of the population believed that a certain class of people were more likely to commit crimes, and as a result more of those people tended to be arrested, then looking at those statistics today in isolation seems to "prove" the point that this segment is more dangerous.

Ok. Lets say we forget history for a moment. There is indeed an argument to be made that data may not be.. accurate ( but that also opens the question of.. is that accuracy zero ?). What about current statistics of shooting incidents in Chicago? Are those also biased, because they happen to show similar pattern ( I think we can agree shooting people is a bad thing and likely dangerous and those involved likely belong in prison -- self defense and similar being excluded )?
Just yesterday I was listening my grandmother talking me about her life. He told me about a kid about 7 years old who went to the field with some horses so they could eat, and then he was killed by some other kids who were threw rocks at him. My wife asked if the culprits were punished and my grandma told her that was not the case. She told us that the police didn’t cared much, and the parents were too busy with the rest of the kids to try to pressure the authorities.
A good point, although it's worth noting CPS and police are not so statistically anomalous as strangers who kidnap children.

His last book was a group biography of three science-fiction authors (Robert Heinlein, L. Ron Hubbard, and Isaac Asimov) and the writer-editor John W. Campbell. These men, like Fuller, interpreted advances in specialized fields for the public, making forceful arguments about the future, which they said would be science-driven, tech-enabled, (mostly) better in every way. This worked, in part, because these guys had something: preternatural confidence, and personal charisma.

These sort of people, like L. Ron Hubbard, died off because of increased skepticism and increased transparency. After ww2 you had this huge credulous population, and with considerable purchasing power due the post-war property and economic boom. The internet, and scandals such as Watergate and perceived hypocrisy of religious and political leaders and institutions, made people more skeptical overall, and also made it easier for people to verify claims.

Thanks for your patience. I'm trying to understand your first principles, and they seem to be what is lawful is moral and what is moral is lawful. I simply find it difficult to accept that as an axiom.

NAP is the non-aggression principle[1]. I brought it up, not because I agree or disagree with it, but to jump to that part of the dialog were that your basis for framework.

"don't be monopolistic assholes" is in the constitution and laws of several countries, it should not be an appeal to morality. The real problem is that at any point anybody does a move constraining internet corps, they get mocked by everyone as "regulating things to death". Yes that's the goal. Their death, in their current form at least.
In the US the 240v outlet is a physically different shape and size, and there's usually only a few in each home, where powerful appliances are expected to be fitted.

You could probably fit an adapter, but I imagine smart plugs in the US are built with the assumption they will never have to handle such a high load.
If a company stated that all their building materials were able to withstand the impact of a bullet in a public forum. You can sue them when you purchased said materials and found out they weren't bulletproof. You don't have standing to sue, just because you read that post. Its only when you become a customer based on those materials.

Edit: Of course you can sue, it'd just get thrown out for no standing. Nothing stops you from suing.
In the US a 240v plug is a physically very different plug designed for running high wattage domestic appliances like a dryer, oven, or electric range. Most homes only have one of these installed in the location where that appliance is expected to be. They are typically rated at 30 amps and are actually two phases of 120v. It is certainly possible to make a smart outlet that can handle two phases and 30A, but it would be expensive, and have limited market.
Sounds like we should add some type of visual guide to help people realize which ropes to use.

Maybe make their physical shapes different enough so that you can't connect things which fail catastrophically together?
What second amendment violations? The other things don't sound like constitutional violations.
> USB-IF is made up of manufacturers. The primary goal is lower BOM. The confusion is the point. Making everything optional is the point.

Yep. If you start looking at it from the point of view of who benefits and who makes the standards, it makes a lot more sense.

The physical connector is terrible and ends up being the first thing to break on a lot of electronics. The labelling is confusing and no one knows what to buy, so you always end up buying more than you need. Motherboard manufacturers were happy to re-label their marketing materials on old boards to say USB 3.1 so they could sell them to unsuspecting consumers that were tricked into thinking 3.1 > 3.0. It goes on and on.

Look at the big picture and it starts to feel like the goal is to create a bad design because it means the manufacturers can sell us more junk.

> (d) Compute the mean age, and print it out as the median. It's much easier to program, and Mary Jones will probably never notice the difference.

Lol. If it’s not the most important statistic to Mary Jones, I can see why a programmer might do this.

> Mary Jones in the Accounting Department tells you that she has a file of personnel records [2022 update: an Excel sheet] and asks you to develop a program to compute the median age of the personnel in the file.

I’ll probably add option (e) if it’s Excel: Mary Jones, you can learn and do this yourself. Just Google it or something.

I'm a bit skeptical of that claim, although I do agree it's a good change. It will prevent further lead emissions, but if it's as bad as they say, then it's likely they'll still feel the effects from the soil.

I live in the flight path for a small field that had been a round for a long time. Soil lead levels are very low here. I have no concerns about the atmospheric amount either. The biggest source of exposure for most people is likely food.

The cost of these cables is sub-dollar. Like probably less than $0.50. Let's say $0.50 for argument's sake. Bringing the cost down a penny means 2% more sellable product for the same input materials. And when the margins are in the $10 range, that's a huge amount of leverage. They're not passing the $0.01 savings along to their customers. Or even if they are (and say, charge you $0.01 less), it's still a huge differential after you consider the 20x margin.

Quick math:

Let's say 1 million cables at $0.50. That costs you $500k. If you get the cost down to $0.49, you just enabled another 20k cables to be manufactured, and another $200k in profit.
> In reading Mudges' complaint, it really paints the Twitter leadership (esp. Agrawal) as simply not caring about security enough to do anything about it.

I've worked in 3 Fortune 250 blue chip companies. My experience is that senior management is doing just enough about security to check the boxes that the trade press -- and the consultants they say we should hire -- say we need to check to have enough legal coverage to weather a possible lawsuit.

Given that Yahoo! had their ENTIRE user database hacked, and VISA, and endless other examples of major personal data breaches, and that none of these things ever results in anything more than a slap on the wrist, I'd say that even these paltry box-checking efforts are probably a waste of money.

I don't know how this situation would be materially any different at a "FAANG" company versus a 100-year-old manufacturing company.

That's bogus. Having the policies be in the same org as the provider just makes sense. You can run a separate security auditing department if you're keen to do that, nothing is stopping you. You can have independent oversight while you don't totally hamstring your organization.

Those auditors aren't also the ones approving expenditures, are they?

These are interesting reads, thank you. I was a professed atheist until my mid 20s, but I’m not sure I ever fully believed my lack of belief. Then when I had kids the feeling became kind of undeniable. Separately, I had I come to admire Christianity. Coming from a part of the world with generational conflict I think the teaching to live like a lamb turn the other cheek is profound. Secular morality diverges quite a bit on that point.

EDIT: There is a lot of stuff in the second one that applies to me. My wife’s faith is very strong. I’m not sure whether I adapted to her beliefs, or as someone raised in an extremely secular setting she made me comfortable allowing myself to believe things that I already felt.

Wha? Atmospheric CO2 has been rising since the start of the Industrial Revolution in the early 1800s. Besides CO2 industry also spits out a lot of other air pollutants that take a while to break down in the atmosphere. I'd posit that we started polluting faster than natural breakdown rates in the mid-1800s. So the radius that would be able to detect industrial civilization on Earth would be about 170ly, not 100ly.

There's also a few hundred[0] G-type stars within 100ly of Earth, if we include F and K types we've got thousands of stars within 100ly. We're just on the cusp of observatories that will be able to get spectra from terrestrial planets in close (<5 AU) orbits around their host stars. So a civilization within 200ly of us just slightly more advanced would be able to not just detect Earth, life signs on it, but also have at least a guess there's a technological civilization here.
This is 100% correct, but I just want to add that things like the WebView2 runtime on Windows blurs this line. The browser engine is identical to Edge, but you only use the WebView for the UI and the rest is native.

For me, this is the sweet spot for technology. Your frontend can be built once for the browser and "native", and the OS native APIs are all accessible to enhance the experience to a degree PWAs would take an enormous amount of time to catch up to.

Electron is not the ideal solution for this problem in my opinion (having developed an app professionally) - what you want is OS packaged browser runtimes to keep your bundle small and give you the evergreen web feature experience, and full OS API access. It's the best of both worlds.

Something like Flutter would be ideal if you want to avoid the DOM, but it's struggling against the web momentum and still has performance issues.
Still not his. From what I can tell, he only invested in 2021, several years after the founding of the company and several other investors, including the U.S. government. And again from what I can tell, the 2021 investment far exceeds his estimated net worth, so is it even his money or an investment pool?

And he has nothing to do with this conference or the tech. I'm just not a fan of cult of personality, something venture capitalism is rife with. It's always interesting how people, such as recruiters, try to sell the investors as if that has anything intrinsic to do with the company and its people.

Also, the company name is still wrong in the title.

A few years ago there was an advertising campaign run by Australia's massively dominant telco, Telstra. It went along the lines of a new business struggling to get their various comms setup via a number of smaller players, different ones per communications medium: Internet, landline, mobile. This faded to the advertising tagline of "Let's just get Telstra to do it": one-stop-shop for all your comms needs.

Having been responsible for WAN connectivity for a company with branches spread around Australia, I'm aware that the attitude of (added the first two words and comma for appropriate dramatic effect) "Fuck it, Let's just get Telstra to do it" will end up adding a good 30-40% of costs over and above alternate providers.

Moral of the story: The cost is worth it to some people, probably a majority of people because they just don't want to think about it, don't want to go to the extra effort, and probably won't realise the cost difference.

I'm not one of those people. I feel as if I'm quite "aware" of the nature of the world, and I react as per how I feel is appropriate. If that's "really fucking boring" to some internet rando, then, well, maybe I'd better re-think my entire life! Maybe I'll get Telstra to do it...

> this is just fear mongering.

Not OP, I don't think it's fear mongering. The actual numbers are immaterial, all that matters is whether parents are scared that this might happen. If they're scared, they'll avoid leaving their children unattended. As a former educator I can confirm that many parents are scared, and that this fear is likely to continue so long as stories of these laws being enforced hit the news once every few years. We can average 1-2 cases every few years and as long as they get the right broadcast, that's all it takes.
