> it happens only when you don't specify who your vote should go to if your first pick doesn't have enough supporters

And your second pick, and your third pick... right?

A big reason for electoral reform is to encourage a wider range of candidates to run, which means voters may be faced with having to come up with a total ordering across a dozen different options.

You seem to be saying that voters who aren't informed enough about their relative preferences for all available candidates, deserve to have their votes thrown away, or at least that voters who can remember an ordering for a list of a dozen names should be given more electoral power than their fellow citizens who cannot manage that feat.

That's maybe not the biggest distortion and potential unfairness in the US right now (with the electoral college and partisan gerrymandering being two aspects that courts openly accept, not to mention other more insidious methods of disenfranchisement) but I think that reform advocates need to be careful not to support the equivalent of "literacy" tests, which have a disturbing past.

Aggressive taxes create a black market for goods. To protect the tax revenue the govt must be aggressive about prosecuting unlicensed operators who do not pay taxes. This is counter to the social politics of wanting to end the war on drugs.

As a compromise the govt heavily taxes legal businesses while allowing the black market to thrive with minimal punishment. C’est la vie.

> Linus wrote git in days, and it was way better SVN.

Linus designed and coded some data structures, and some basic utilities to manipulate and store them, in just a few days - based on a fundamentally better model and as a replacement for an existing product they could no longer use. Designing and developing git into a usable product and system took a whole lot longer and involved thousands of people.

The examples you cite are all similarly flawed gross simplifications or mischaracterisations.

I also didn't really know. High school was thirty years ago, at my school civics was an optional class taught by the football coach, and when learning about how the government works the details of pardons aren't terribly important.

I'm sure I read some textbook that said the president can pardon Federal crimes, but my test was something along the lines of "what powers does the executive branch have" and "the pardon" was a good enough answer.
Us pop: 331,893,745
% Pop w/Felony: 8%
Felony pop: 26,551,499
Pardon pop: 6,500
% Felony Pardoned: 0.02%

Unfortunately, the 8% of population with a felony includes state felonies, not just federal. Wikipedia claims 6,106,327 [0] as the 2016 total felony population but only includes states. 20M federal felony population seems large. In 2020 66,761 federal felonies were adjudicated with a 94.4% conviction rate [1], so annual rate of 62,755. Of those felonies "Drug" was 18,418 with a 92.6 conviction rate, so 17,055. If the total population of pardoned people is 6,500, that is a bit over 1/3 of felony drug convictions in 2020 alone.

Given a conviction growth rate of about 5% over 30 years ending with 62,755, there would be a federal felony population of 936,422. That is barely 1M much less 20M. Something is off about the numbers.

For lecturers? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sniff. Sniff. Oh, I haven't laughed that much in a while. Sorry. I couldn't help myself. But, seriously, now ...

Please do be careful to separate "tenured professors" who earn a salary and do research from "lecturers" who get paid by the course and do not do research.

"Tenured professors" get paid ... oookay ... sorta. "Lecturers" get paid absolute garbage.

I know that Stanford, for example, paid $4000 per course in the CS department not that long ago. Yes, "nominally" that class was only 6 hours per week lecturing so it looks like that's $55/hr. In reality, if you want to do a good job teaching that class, it's a 40 hour per week commitment for 12 weeks--which means you earn below both minimum wage and McDonald's.

Alternatively, you can give that same course to professionals and get paid $4K per person for a one week course.

Being a good lecturer is more akin to social work than a job.

"when legalization happens" is perhaps the part you missed about my comment.

It's not how the law is written, as I understand it. It is how it is implemented and that is up to the President, Director of Homeland Security and ICE. Applications used to be returned or clarified when they had been filled out incorrectly. Now they are perfunctorily denied, and the applicant has to file an appeal. This change was brought about by a change in executive policy. I cannot say for sure whether it was started under Obama or Trump, but I did hear that it caught immigration attorneys off-guard. For example, if there is no middle name, they are not supposed to leave it blank. But if they use the wrong magic word to fill the space or cross it out, the application is now denied.
"It's a stroke of a pen."

False. If you look at his student loan forgiveness plan, it was immediately challenged in the courts. And when he tried to suspend family separation at the border, it was challenged in the courts. And he's been fighting to change DACA rules for 2 years straight, in the courts.

Biden can't just write whatever he wants.. He needs to get legal opinions, and structure the order so it complies with existing law, to ensure it withstands challenges.

The idea that he can just waltz into the oval office and start writing his wish list on paper.. and have everything completed the first week of his presidency is a simplistic and naive view of how the presidency works, and the restrictions we place on the office. It contributes to the erroneous view that some have, that the president is some sort of king.

That was no idle musing; he had in mind a reversal of the situation.

He put that into action by making a language so embroiled in its own implementation that cloning a new version would be a pointless exercise in failing to replicate the internal details of the original program. That nicely solved the problem of it being hard to port a script.

Then he made it incredibly hard to build. Cross-compiling it wasn't even a thing, and probably still isn't; we just use distro builds that have Qemu.
This is strange. Boston Dynamics initially partnered with the US military. What did they think they were going to used them for? They were created with the idea of making them weapons from the start. I guess they feel bad about that now.

I'll echo the others saying that "a few terabytes" is utterly massive and could easily fit the English version of Wikipedia several times over, so this isn't much of a constraint. But to take a stab at it:

1. The Bible (original languages and modern translations)

2. All of (English) Wikipedia

3. Medical textbooks

4. nand2tetris

5. Anything not already in Wikipedia about fabrication processes and manufacturing, especially the more "exotic" stuff - exactly how transistors work, photo-lithography, that kind of thing

I'm a little uncertain about the ordering of 4 and 5; building computer hardware is hard, but the mental models to use it are also unintuitive. On the other other hand, it only took us ~60 years to invent modern software the first time once we had the hardware, and Wikipedia hopefully already covered the mathematical background, so worst case we could probably reinvent everything else if we could preserve knowledge of how to fab transistors and simple microprocessors.

EDIT: I'm blanking on the name, but isn't there a set of textbooks that's basically "here's how to bootstrap a modern industrial civilization"? That seems tailor-made to this question, without needing to make people wander through wikipedia to stumble on little things like "levers" and "engines".

Yes. Plain and simple. Go even further and legalize. Decriminalizing doesn't solve the many issues that trafficking brings. This is low hanging fruit. Harder drugs would need to be tightly controlled but revenue could be spent on helping users... rehab facilities, safe use facilities, counseling, etc.

Same thing with prostitution. Human trafficking could be significantly reduced by legalizing prostitution. Government should not be involved in policing morals.

I’m rooting for both Intel and Samsung. It sounds to me like Intel is ever so slowly getting back on track with Pat there (good interview on the Decoder podcast with him recently, if anyone is interested), but I’d guess we won’t really be able to see if Intel can get their crap together until ~2024-28, considering how long the lead time is for stuff like this. I don’t think Samsung had basically a failed decade like Intel did, but they haven’t been as quick or have as good yields on the last few nodes as TSMC has been, if I understand correctly.

TSMC being a node or 2 ahead has basically let them hold their customers by the balls, forcing them to take price increases and extreme lead times because there’s simply nowhere else to go for the same quality and performance. It would be great if we got to a place where we had 3 foundries on roughly equal footing, especially for national security and global supply chain robustness. But also because competition is good for us mere consumers as well, of course :)

> If it were a sincere and principled choice

It's literally a choice for Biden to make this an issue and successfully execute on it. But I don't know how it could be "principled" by your standards. For most of his career, Biden has outright opposed the legalization of marijuana, and still has health concerns about it. By the end of 2020, he and the Democratic party made decriminalization part of the party platform, i.e. he made a policy change right before the election, so even if he had the power to decriminalize on the first day of office, wouldn't you still cynically accuse him of doing it only for election reasons?

But in any case, while Biden made the promise to pursue decriminalization, that was never his main thing. I think he should've done it by end of 2021. But seeing how difficult and surprising it was for him to execute on his bigger plans, e.g. infrastructure, clean act, and student loan forgiveness -- it's possible that pushing for pot reform would have sidelined one of his bigger priorities. I don't see how perceptions of "sincerity" obviously outweigh the virtue of actually getting it done.

I bought one of these for my brother when he joined the Army almost 20 years ago - solar with radio sync. I noticed that he was still wearing it a couple days ago. I'll have to ask him whether it all still works.

The last time we talked about it he said it had been a great watch and he wouldn't go anywhere without it.

I don't wear watches or other jewelry (except wedding band) and haven't worn a watch since the late 1970's when I found a Timex in the dirt while walking a pipeline looking for oil spills in central Texas. I picked it up and cleaned the dirt from it and it started ticking. It was an auto-winder model. I wore that for a couple years and eventually gave it away since my own internal clock keeps me accurate to within 15 minutes all day long and if I really think about it I can be accurate most times to within 5 minutes by mentally replaying my day.
I have an obviously better explanation:

In this case, the correlation has to do with being health-conscious which leads to better health and is linked to ingesting o3. And the reason we argue causation is the simple fact that the mechanism behind the correlation is not explained in a clear chemical way.
I experimented with nootropics in the past and currently I just stick to vitamin D3 + K2 + Omega 3 (DHA/EPA). In case I need to focus I just add 300/600mg of Alpha GPC (but I don't use it frequently, once I start to become irritable it means there's enough acetylcholine in my brain).
That's not true.

Look up Omega3 algae oil. It contains EPA and DHA.
