Why would anyone want a car accident? Not quite following me huh? Seems like maybe you just want to argue.

Who benefits from humans working on stimulants and psychedelic drugs? How about the entire 20th/21st century? Are you seriously pretending everything from caffeine to opium hasn't been a driving force of production?

The sensing machines we are building are paralleled in their design and utility to the functional parts of our brains. We've networked them all together already, and all we need is a simple spark to set it all in motion.

Cognition rhymes with ignition for a reason.

Someone close to me was in an accident that could have been avoided with sensors other than a camera. The camera only collision mitigation system was blinded by direct sunlight complicated by glare off of fresh snow. Zero indication the system was compromised until it failed to provide any warning or active braking.

Vowed to never own a car with only camera based collision mitigation again.
no, it doesn't, except for the most trivial things.
> One can vote Bernie honestly but also approve of Hillary as a safety.

No, that's the thing. Many people want to express their preference, and really really didn't want to "approve" of these two people at the same level. It's exactly the same with...

> Bernie was quite popular and frankly a lot of people that also voted Trump also liked Bernie because he was an outsider.

...where these people may have felt positively about Bernie, but they really really preferred Trump, and they would not have "approved" of Bernie if that meant putting him at the same level as Trump.

So now you have two groups of people who would have preferred Bernie as their 2nd place choice, but decide not to "approve" him in order to help their 1st place choices win. Supporters of approval voting just keep ignoring this dynamic of how real people vote in the real world.

i just read the article you linked to - what part of it is “attacking” this? The whole article is basically a rehash of the White house press release (which is fine - it just reports the facts)

Or is the “cesspool” you are describing no longer just consist of people who disagree with you, but has now become people who could disagree with you in the future?
Pretty freaking cool
The new Tesla Vaporware detector will ensure that you will be warned if the stainless steel 'cybertruck' ever actually makes it to production, along with all the sports car and all the other late night TV 'but wait there's more' pitches Musk enthusiasts seem to find so compelling
No kidding. Brilliant idea.
A drug-related pardon I'd like to see: Ross Ulbricht.

His sentence "sends a message" to me that there is no justice anymore.

Same with Assange. There is no press anymore, just political mouthpieces.
Fair enough! I hadn’t thought of it in terms of things like telescopes, so good to know.
Does running it in a content script even work? I've only been able to run tabCapture in the popup. I don't see how any screen recording extensions can work in MV3
All set -e does is halt further execution of your script if any line exits above 0. There is really nothing bash can do about this. It can't perform a psychological evaluation on why a program is not giving the expected output. And most of the time, when something fails, if it were made by a less than serious programmer (like myself) they don't bother to exit on error correctly with a code above zero. But if you are building a script collection, or python utility or even an binary, simply exit 1 if you encounter a general error. Then further up the chain in your shell scripts the error can be handled properly. There are more specific error codes you can use that might be helpful to your shell script.

If you are wondering what in the world I'm talking about and I've missed your question entirely, sorry about that. My feet are tired.
Voters already agree the laws need to change. It's congress holding us back against the will of the people who elected them. Republicans have already spoken out against this pardon.

It's not even that. The purpose of mustard gas, for example, is principally to force unmasked troops to vacate the trenches. As a rule we don't do much trench warfare anymore. (Yes, yes, I know... Ukraine enters the chat) With most warfare over the last century having been wars of maneuver, urban conflict, aerial bombardment, or artillery duels... there's just not much use for chemical weapons. They're only useful for clearing people out of confined spaces... hence why tear gas continues to be used for crowd control in cities.

I promise I'm not trying to get too philosophical here, but this is a long-standing issue in all areas of Science - the tendency towards reductionism.

Keep turning the dials on the oscilloscope to try and eliminate the signal noise...but what if the noise itself is an essential part of the phenomenon you're trying to study and understand? You see where I'm going with this?

How does this compare to a WiFi mesh network? Seems it’s running on a similar frequency as WiFi (3.70 GHz) so I’d guess range & throughput would be similar.
Tweets do not official policy make. If you need examples, you need but examine his tweets all through 2019 and 2020 - they're loaded with promises and plans. This is certainly not exclusive to POTUS.

I really don't know actually; I never tried when I was in America because it was cheaper to buy contacts through my optometrist using my vision insurance. So you're probably right. I was told that you could buy prescription glasses offshore without a real prescription (you just had to input the numbers), but that wasn't an American site obviously.

Here in Japan, you do not need a prescription to buy contacts; you can just write down your numbers on a form and buy them over-the-counter.
I know exactly how a CPU works, but I can’t say I ever spend much time thinking about that while I’m writing code. Thinking about low level details is often useful, but I can’t say I sit there pondering logic gates while trying to solve programming problems very often.

If the standard is that People don’t disappear for days and/or completely , then yes US systems is civilized and polite.

The slightest of non conforming information or a honest paperwork mistake in your application can be used to permanently reject a visa,

Even if you been living for many many years , you have to leave in very short time (10-60? Days) if your visa is revoked/expired because you lost your job and potentially upend/split your family some of whom would be citizens if they were born here

Or be deported out by ICE right after serving lengthy sentence despite living in the country your whole life , to a home country you don’t know and never even been.

Despite all the bad press and difficulties US has a better system than most other countries, however if you are unlucky US immigration can upend your life.
I totally agree, but a "sensible drug policy" would also point out the complete arbitrariness of our society's relation to drugs in general. A couple years ago some researchers in the UK basically did a "harmfulness" rating for tons of drugs, looking at things like potential for addiction, negative health consequences, etc.

By far the most harmful drug was alcohol. I might be confabulating, but IIRC some government officials in the UK even asked some of the researchers to downplay some of their findings, because it basically showed the ridiculousness of government drug policy.

Regardless, though, the details of the report itself are worth a read, as I think they fairly assessed harm across different criteria, e.g. harm to oneself vs. harm to others.

What's the gist behind how the flow lines are generated? It looks sort of like the vector field for a differential equation, can we plug in our own values?
Well if I could just impart one idea or concept it would be similar to Feynman's quote:

>“If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generations of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis (or the atomic fact, or whatever you wish to call it) that all things are made of atoms—little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another.” ― Richard Feynman, The Feynman Lectures on Physics Vol 1

This should be generalized and augmented to the idea of analysis and synthesis in general, what we could call "general alchemy". That is physical and symbolic isolation & scientific controls help to understand the world, but we also need to figure out the "chemistry" so to speak of how things tend to combine and transform so we can understand the whole ecology of the integrated system.

The freedom to choose among terabytes would take a ton of thought to actually come up with some optimal set. You could probably churn over thoughts on the subject for years.

It's a solid political play, and I don't recall seeing that done before (I've only been voting since '97). We'll likely see this kind of thing more often now.
They are actually calling themselves incels, they are not shameful of it. I wasn't being snarky, they are really digging the identity and the subculture, along with the rape and the mass murder. Every other post on incel forums is some variation of I'm being rejected by women, thus my bloodline ends with me, but not before I end many other bloodlines, which actually makes me a winner. Incels love violence, it's their entire thing.
This is dumb. If there is a violation, you go to the violator and make the case there. Else you make suit in court. RIAA is using Google like a defacto executor of the law. How can that be constitutional? There is simply no way to argue or get help from google in any shape or form. The RIAA knows this. To protest I will never listen to RIAA music again. Which for the most part, is all old and shitty anyway. Culture is dead.

Funny, he never mentioned the chemical weapons that are used all the time, domestically, on protesters. Here's a couple articles I found:

https://www.newsweek.com/richmond-chemical-weapons-protests-...

My two cents: In general, shouldn't our elected "leaders" arrange to meet with protesters, people who are obviously very frustrated, and spend the time to talk to them, instead of sending in the police to gas them?
Scary, how people argue that war is naturally a much more controlled environment than police action on citizens exercising their rights.

That wealth explosion is a major factor. Oil boomtowns are also notoriously bad places to live. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jun/06/boomtown-oil...
I'm all for public transport, but lying to people and saying it's going to be zero cost because it will completely supplant what they spend on cars is not the way to get support for it. A train or bus line that goes to 20 specific places and nowhere else is not a substitute for a car that can go directly to any place, whether across town or across the country.

We should absolutely invest in public transport, but let's not pretend it isn't going to take making spending money on it a priority. It doesn't come for free and it doesn't completely eliminate the need for cars.

It also requires the entire development to shift to be much, much denser. It's not like "oh we just issue some bonds to build a rail line and then nobody ever has to buy a car again".

Planting false memories is trivial. Most of what we believe was set in ways we don't remember by people we can't place. We do it with ideology all the time. These days we call it advertising and public relations.

Ask yourself how you know the things you believe, and if you can't attribute it to a specific, concrete personal and physical experience, treat it as absolutely suspect.

How is it legal for a President to pardon all instances of an offense as opposed to pardoning individuals? It seems to me this would violate separation of powers since the president is effectively repealing a law, something that should be up to congress.

For me, it's usually until the work starts or until the end of the project. A lot of the people in the biz are there to make lots of money with as little work as possible. The cracks show as soon as they're expected to half the work.

Hackathons have been a good, cheap way to filter a cofounder, with a time limit. You see whether the tech guy is willing to build, the product guy is willing to think outside the box, and the business guy is willing to take the time to research the market and put effort into explaining the product correctly.
For the first point - at least read what I wrote after the sentence you picked to quote, and try to address the example with unlocking the phone.

For the second point, read what I wrote before the sentence you picked to quote. Also, your not liking or accepting some result doesn't really change it.

This isn't how to argue in good faith, and it's overall not very productive for anyone involved.

The whole point of mail order delivery is the convenience factor; you don't have to be home to receive the package. I've seen the promotional video for this thing and it could be one of the dumbest ideas this side of the Juicero. The whole concept relies on you being home at the moment of delivery to greet the thing, walk outside, and pull your own package out of its cargo bay. No fancy catapult or anything. It's a miniature Amazon Locker on wheels. Just a remotely-controlled toy wagon (it's not autonomous, it has a pilot). From the size of it, how many packages could even fit inside? Two, maybe three? The real crime here is that people were paid actual money to develop this abortion of an idea.

> "And, more importantly, RCV is a stepping stone to multi-member district STV proportional voting"

I agree that proportional representation is a huge deal, but I suspect we can do better than STV by changing what the election results mean. Currently in every system I know of we treat it as a binary choice; a candidate is either a member of the set of candidates who won, or they aren't.

A different way to do it is to allow every candidate who receives some minimum threshold level of support to be elected, but when voting on issues each elected person's influence is weighted by the level of support they received in the election.

This sort of system is compatible with FTPT, RCV, or approval-voting style ballots, but the differences matter less as long as you can say of the vast majority of voters (assuming an omniscient view -- privacy of votes would obscure the actual data) that that voter clearly has a representative in congress, and that voter delegated the same amount of influence to that representative as any other voter. (People who only voted for fringe candidates that don't meet the minimum threshold lose out, but that would probably be rare among people who actually pay attention to politics and aren't casting a protest vote.)

If this were enacted for the U.S. House of Representatives for example, the likely outcome would be that each state would have at least one Republican and at least one Democrat who would wield different amounts of power depending on how popular Republicans and Democrats are in that state. You'd also have Libertarians and Greens and Independents and whatever else. A state might have two representatives after one election and ten after another, and it wouldn't be a problem because influence is the same.

You should consider more linux friendly hardware next time if you still want to run linux. I have mostly owned thinkpads and desktops set up with ubuntu/mint, and my issues have been few and far between.

The GS-66 is a gaming laptop with an NVidia card. The nouveau driver does pretty good, but I find trying to upgrade to the latest version or installing Nvidia's official driver causes more problems than it solves. For the wifi, the Intel Killer AX from only a quick google search looks like it has known issues.

There are a lot of hardware companies that are actively hostile to linux users. MSI is definitely one. Lenovo's Thinkpad and Dell's XPS lines have a big audience to test and fix issues.

MSI can make extra money off of window's users after sale, but HW companies only profit off linux users from selling the hardware.
Couldn't read the article. But what about significance? Sure there is a lot of talent around boring things, and I am thankful that there are. But it takes more than talent to demonstrate something of significance. How far out of the way do people have to go to find it? Someone with the right eyes, and having eyes also in their heads that can see in places no one else can, can revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos. And I think that's worth a million smackers at least.

I’ve used it a lot from German and Russian. I lived in Germany for a few years. Auto translation was absolutely essential for navigating official things like government websites, banking, flat renting, etc. Now, all of my in-laws are exclusive Russian speakers. When my partner isn’t around to translate, we use Google Translate’s conversation feature. It works great. My partner overhears a lot of our conversation. She’s never needed to clarify anything.
