This is another one of my friend Jerry Paffendorf's civic projects in Detroit. He is the founder of Loveland Technologies better known as regrid.com.

While I would prefer that the statue be on Woodward Avenue (Detroit's main drag) preferably near the Tigers, Pistons and Red Wings stadiums I think politics inevitably led to a different location.

Eastern Market which is both a farm market and food wholesale distribution point East of the downtown area. However on non-market days, especially around dusk, it's not an entirely safe area.

General admission is usually either standing room or lawn seats. I can't think of a show I've been to that had GA tickets and capacity defined by the number of hard seats, for exactly that reason. I'd believe it could happen, just not commonly.

There are many reasons you might want to split up your group at a GA event, like say some people wanting to push up to the front. Or in your seat example, if your group values being closer rather than being together in further back seats. But that's your own choice and not a result of the venue forcing you.
Oh gosh... TCP/IP is a resilient protocol and would route around any countr(y/ies) opting for modern standards. The world would continue to spin.

It happens at low speeds too! I hit a pothole on my bike and flew off the front and had a concussion/sternum fracture, and I was going like >5mph. I couldn’t believe it. It has made me permanently scared of electric bikes.

Ironic, given the subject matter. It could do with a corollary: "when making a statement, consider the most simplistic and/or uncharitable interpretation possible".
> No, they don't. CPS does not need to investigate observations that, even if they are true, imply nothing. That's just sentencing everyone who deviates from orthodoxy to constant investigation.

I think you're taking a slippery slope argument well past the point of reason.

For starters, there'd be no reason for constant investigation: once you've completed an investigation, there is no reason to have another investigation in response to a similar report. At worst, every family would get a cursory investigation once. Admittedly, that's not great. Realistically, that would not happen either, as CPS does not have unlimited resources and would of course prioritize their time. So, the more people make spurious complaints, the less likely they'll get investigated. Similarly, it's pretty trivial to identify cases where someone is just spamming the system with complaints, and deprioritize it accordingly.

While it's not unusual for complainants to exaggerate, it's also not unusual for complainants to understate; you get a call about a family you've never heard of before, from someone who has never called in before, you just have no idea what you're going to find.

> Or you can be a black man with a white stepdaughter, or a white-passing daughter, and literally get authorities called every time you walk outside with her.

...and again, in that case, you're going to learn to ignore those calls pretty quickly.

Did your father work with legislators to try to pass laws?

“When I went to California to try to fight into it, I thought, ‘Well, there’s only 120 legislators. I’ll talk to them all one on one,'” Bankman said. “I found that in order to do it, I had to hire a lobbyist because I just couldn’t handle the details or get the meetings. In Congress, when I went there, now there’s 500 plus, and what I found everywhere I went is that Intuit had already preceded me. They’d already met every representative I was going to meet.”

Did your mother create a political fundraising organization?

“In 2018, the secretive Stanford-connected Democratic fundraising group Mind the Gap (MTG) funneled over $20 million toward competitive U.S. House of Representative elections and get-out-the-vote (GOTV) organizations. In 2020, MTG wants to increase that number to $140 million.

“MTG is led by Barbara Fried, the William W. and Gertrude H. Saunders Professor of Law; Paul Brest, an emeritus professor of law and director of the Law and Policy Lab; and Graham Gottlieb, a Stanford research affiliate. Of the three, Gottlieb has the most direct policy experience, having formerly served in junior roles in former President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign and in Obama’s White House.”

Proof of reserves only proves (for the sake of the argument let's assume it's an actual proof) the exchange has some amount of reserves, which is mostly meaningless. The quantity of interest is the share of deposits that are backed with reserves, not the absolute amount of reserves.

I attended a Montessori from Kindergarten to 5th grade in the 90's.

I loved it. The teachers let me teach an art and drawing class in 2nd grade. Another student taught an algebra class (he's a brilliant cancer researcher now). I co-wrote, illustrated, and sold a comic book with another classmate in 4th grade during class time.

It allowed me to complete the curriculum on my own time and held me accountable.

Montessori was something I made my own, not something that was happening to me.

The transition out wasn't that bad. I did 5th grade again (June baby) at a standard private school. The biggest things:
- I had never written a formal essay, or an essay outline.
- I had never taken nor prepared for a real test

Like others here, I never really enjoyed school as much after Montessori.

For the right kid, it can cultivate curiosity, independence, collaboration, and a love for self managed learning. For the wrong kid, it can be an unstructured nightmare.

'Histrionic' originates in the Latin 'histrionica,' which refers to actors and acting, supposedly because actors first came from the Greek colony of Histria on the Black Sea. I'm not sure why any of that is insulting to women.
I'm not saying either of you are wrong but the we'll be needing the robots to do it other ways or 10x as many farmers. It takes a ton of labor to deal with weeds and other issues in a more sustainable way
People assume a "bike" is safe, and a "motorbike" can be dangerous, but there's no real difference between them.

I've reached 35 MPH downhill under pedal power; if I had wiped out I would have been in a world of hurt, or dead, depending on how it had gone.
Very unreasonable. Large firms like Sequoia, Blackrock, Softbank invested and sports teams like Miami Heat or Mercedes F1 actually advertised them.
Servicing marine nuclear reactor units requires very special skills and is expensive. So is the initial capital cost. Servicing large marine diesel systems uses labor that is much more available globally.
The problem is the dumbing down of complex mechanisms into sound bites. Both dopamine and rewards systems are a lot more complicated than they're presented and not very well understood. But you can buy self-help/popsci books that give you very incorrect simplistic pictures of how these things work.

Maybe the term "dopamine hit" is fine when it's just that, but people base their whole understanding of their brain based on dopamine does this, seratonin does that, etc.
The author is right from a medical perspective. There is a technical difference between observable signs and reported symptoms. Most people conflate both terms and there's nothing wrong with that but people in the field should understand the difference.

Hypothetically, how would I go about trying magic mushrooms for the first time?

I live in a US state where they are illegal and have no idea how I'd even get some. I suppose I could travel to somewhere where they're legal, but wouldn't know where to go or what to do when I got there.
> I imagine my question would be "hey, where'd all the deposits go?"

But we know where they went. To Alameda Research. Then Alameda Research sent them somewhere else. The money isn't coming back, and Alameda Research's collateral of FTT tokens is worthless. So that's that, its done.

Its actually quite a simple story here. FTX lent the money to someone else (even if Alameda Research is also owned by SBF), and that other group lost the money.
It seems lax of CPSC to issue such a damning statement without an accompanying comparative analysis to other board or motor sports. What’s the injury rate vs other similar sports and how much of that is to blame from undereducated or reckless riders? Also, what’s the rationale for the recall if the issue is people ignoring the obvious warnings the thing is giving that the battery is about to die? This doesn’t seem to be a matter of system failures or inherent design flaws.

Paramotoring is risky, but no one is chasing all paramotor manufacturers to recall their products. Similar for dirt bikes. It seems somehow these are getting singled out due to their uniqueness and being a product from a single company, not because there’s a flaw in the design that makes them inordinately risky.
Yeah, as I've said elsewhere, I'm not sure that the family plan, as described, makes much sense given the situation. I get that it was a temporary measure while they were doing their investigation, but it still seems pretty impractical and disproportionate.

They could just do what we do with every other crime, and only punish people AFTER we find that they're guilty. You say this like the parents absolutely NEEDED to be supervised, despite saying "we only did this because we didn't realize it was illegal" - this is not exactly a High Threat situation.

If CPS is going to force this sort of thing on parents, they could also reasonably be expected to compensate for the involved expenses - force CPS to pay for a nanny if CPS really thinks that's essential. If CPS can't afford to do that, then we as a society have already voted that the nanny wasn't actually worth the cost.
If you type `func "arg"`, you get a generic syntax error.

If you type `print "arg"`, the syntax error is a bit more informative, but I wouldn't say that the compiler "understands" what you mean. It's just making a guess based on the fact that the previous token was "print".

On the other hand, supporting a special call syntax just for print, which includes more than just parentheses, would be substantially more complex. And then Python code in the wild would be more inconsistent and there will be endless debates about `print <args>` versus `print(<args>)`.

Working more than 40h/week. So, if you have family and/or kids, you’ll see then less than you see your colleagues at the office. Simple back of the envelope calculation:

- 10h/day at the office
- 25 min commute each way
- 8h/day of sleep
- 1h/day for chore (shower, dinner, breakfast)

That leaves you 4h/day to spend with your loved ones, plus weekends (unless “hardcore” also means working a little bit on Saturdays). And those 4h won’t be your best 4h. So anyone staying at Twitter will commit a suicide in terms of family and friends life.
Brain work efficiency peaks at about 25h/week. Musk should know this, but obviously doesn't. Why is this important? Because humans make mistakes. And the rate at which we make mistakes raises with exhaustion. Actually working 40h/week (you know, not 40h being at work, but actual focused work) is draining your batteries massively, and I won't go into the 50h/week or more, because this is technically suicide and only works for very short periods (a week, 2 weeks is already a stretch by a long shot). Also note that the time to recover from this takes even longer, assuming you are given the time to actually do that.

Sum this all up and Musk is doing a very stupid thing: He tells employees to be more inefficient and create more bugs and problems because they have to work long hours now for ... what exactly? If I were someone looking to do "black hat" things announcements like that are a golden sunrise in the morning, an opportunity in the waiting.

From a business perspective this is just many levels of stupid.
It's quite easy to assume given Ukraine isn't firing in that direction and that it's a weapon that goes back to Soviet times.

Using inappropriately technical jargon (especially “dopamine”) is one of my pet peeves (which I just get more of the older I get).

Why, say, describe fond feelings or affection as “oxytocin”? Do you know anything about this neurotransmitter? Or are you just using it as a fancy synonym for love and affection? Is the vernacular English language—but I guess pop-neurotransmitters are vernacular now—too impoverished to talk about love and affection?

Same thing goes for “dopamine”. Did reading a factually wrong comment make you angry, or did you get a “dopamine hit” that motivated you to reply to it? Were you validated by the upvotes, or did you get a “dopamine hit”? Why describe pleasure, anger, comfort, etc. etc. as just “dopamine”?

It seems to me that fetishizing things by pinning pleasure on something ostensibly tangible like dopamine is just too irresistible. Now we can pretend that we actually know ourselves in the ancient Greek self by talking about our indulgent and sinful behavior as just “dopamine”.

For similar reasons I don’t like when people in meditation circles obsess over “the ego”. Every little mind-wandering and slip-up becomes the fault of the fetish that is “the ego”.

Edit: Of course this is how laypeople relate to neurotransmitters while the submission is about psychologists. So this is a side-topic.

I picked up an e-bike not too long ago and took a bit to decide between class 2 and class 3 - I didn’t have enough experience with a bike and a speedometer to gauge whether the 20mph limit on class 2 would be enough. Having ridden around for a while now, yeah, absolutely agree - anything over ~15-20mph is above my comfort zone for “able to adjust to sudden changes in the environment.” Folks who get the “class 4”s are baiting a date with a reconstructive surgeon.

This story is, in a nutshell, why me and my family have a plan to leave the US permanently within 2 years. We have a 4 year old and a 6 year old, and the possible futures we can see for ourselves and our children as they grow up are all dystopian to us.

We can have freedom for them to play outside, if we only live in a rural area where my wife and kids will be the only non-white people around, where we will be bound to use a car for every errand, and where the politics of everyone nearby will be opposite our own.

We can have a walkable neighborhood if we sacrifice safety and health (density in US cities is built on the busiest, most polluting roadways), or all of our savings to live in one of the very very few walkable, safe urban communities in the US.

These things don't appear to be improving. We have half the country engaged in absolutely insane conspiracy mongering including human trafficking stories that spark the behavior seen in the article (when the woman calls the police on the child walking alone outside). We have cities and states that prioritize the car over every other means of transportation, which creates unhealthy air, unsafe urban environments, and fractures communities as highways get wider and wider. We have defacto segregation in schooling and housing, coupled with rising nativism, that means if you are non-white, your options for where to live without sacrificing your basic dignity are severely constrained.

I'm not anti-US in a general sense, but I do think the above factors make it a sub-optimal place to choose to permanently settle at this point. The only reason I can see at this point to live in the US is the higher salaries, but once you've got enough where you can choose to forego that, I can't see good reasons to stay.
Maybe you’re right. Actually wrote this before reading the article (typical!) and the article is not friendly to him at all, weirdly he seems to confess his activity.

One issue I've noticed with these new forms of electric wheeled transport (longboard, transverse and longitudinal one-wheelers) is that the people riding them often don't come from a sports background. They aren't "safe" devices exactly - it takes skill to pilot them, and when things inevitably go awry, it takes good reflexes to avoid damage.

Novices to action sports often throw their arms out to catch themselves when they bail instead of rolling through the fall. They also don't know how to navigate obstacles via strategic weighting and unweighting of their implement.

The energies involved are also substantial -- to put it bluntly, some of these things fuckin' rip, which is super fun, but also makes safety gear a good idea. You can take a lot of trauma and abrasion bailing at 25mph+, potentially life-changing or fatal in the worst cases. There's a reason why downhill longboarders and an increasing number of electric wheel riders wear a fullface and leathers.
I wonder what would happen if there would be more "Karens", that would complain about this?

Looking at the screenshot, let's say it's a cat food ad... if that "Karen" would call the cat food company and complain that their ad wasted her time with an old relative, or whatever, and in turn waste that companies time... and multiply that with 10.000 karens,... but it needs people to actually be proactive about stuff like that.

In existing code bases, new subsystems can be fully modern.

Old code can be modernized incrementally, e.g. replacing uses of naked pointers with smart pointers and then deleting destructor code, or replacing C-style for-loops with modern range-style for-loops or calls to standard algorithms, passing a lambda. Many class declarations can be eliminated by using lambdas inline. A sweep throughout a big codebase just modernizing one kind of thing may take only a few days. This typically results in deleting a great deal of code, and all the bugs in the deleted code evaporate.

Deleting masses of code always feels great.
So what's the temp inside at early morning before sunrise? The video shows 65 degrees inside with the sun out in 30 degrees weather, not 17 degrees at night with no sun all night.
