He leaps from the general to the specific and back again when it suits him. Liberals become all liberals in one sentence and certain liberals in another.

FYI you'll be encountering the word heuristics a lot:

Heuristics

Heuristics are mental shortcuts that allow people to solve problems and make judgments quickly and efficiently. These rule-of-thumb strategies shorten decision-making time and allow people to function without constantly stopping to think about their next course of action.

Reality is complicated and ideology is path dependent, implying that almost all movements have certain legitimate claims. But rather than starting from this premise, many liberals rely on unsophisticated heuristics.

If this is your cuppa tea you may enjoy this article. I have an unsophisticated heuristikkk I use, if I see it comes from substack it's probably from a conservative banned from somewhere else.
My intuition tells me this can be learnt.

taxation is not oppression, it is the means of seeking to fund the government. Taxation is applied in almost every EU nation on a sliding scale that almost entirely ensures that it is evenly applied to every single citizen. I would argue that formulating this scenario as "oppression" demonstrates that you do not accept the democratic mandate of government and view government as an enemy which you should hide your earnings from.
It is frequently said that London county council from Victorian times onward destroyed more Christopher Wren churches than the German bombing campaigns of WW1 and WW2.

You can't keep all heritage buildings. I like la defense and the pompidou so if we keep those can we ditch the montparnasse tower? I don't like sacre coeur, I will trade that for a more interesting modern building.

Biodiesel and ethanol (form corn, or better from sugarcane). Instead of a lot of tall gras, just imagine them as self-assembly solar panels with a mini chemistry factory attached.

Not working for me on Firefox 107.0.1 / MacOS. I see the save button and the ChatGPT screen has a blue edge. However, when I hit "Save Conversation" the chatgpt_2022-12-10.json file that I get only shows [] and doesn't have the conversation.
The problem isn't using one of these things, the problem happens when you use each of these things. Now you have a distributed system where data is in different systems and you have data inconsistencies or have to deal with distributed transactions.
The advantage to using postgres is you can continue to use a single transaction for data integrity.
Our current laser printer for >$300 had to be replaced right out of the box, apparently checking whether that thing turns on without errors is asking too much. Then the replacement couldn't connect with the wifi network.

Maybe there are exceptions beyond consumer price ranges, but the only printer I've seen that actually worked was an inkjet over 20 years ago. Probably because it was too dumb to do anything other than print.
The inability to recover an account is bullshit regardless. It’d be like if you lost your bank card, and the bank didn’t have a service desk.

Just because google is free, doesn’t mean they don’t have a responsibility to users. Savings accounts where I live are pretty much free too.

Classic disruption starts at the low end of the market and moves up. Actually good printers need to start out more expensive. Whatever process might eventually result in commercially viable good printers, it wouldn't be a "disruption", not in the good ol' Innovator's Dilemma sense. :(
Is this indexed to inflation? If not, then it's even worse.

>touchscreen controls for moving the AC vents around

Tesla has the same and it has changed the UI for AC operation in the past. To be clear, I'm not convincing people that it is a good thing and I understand the frustration. But I personally like how the car changes, the same way I like how iOS changes.

LOL, you have clearly never had to build a house.
> The thing is, democracy hasn't demonstrated that it can combat private interests.

Sure but I don't get the rhetoric on here where when the EU attempts to combat malicious private interests via financial regulation everyone starts trying to cast it as a tyrannical evil empire.

One could as easily state that the EU is attempting to stand up for democratic interests, which is why I have added that comment making that argument.

The former. They're working to eliminate the need for an energy intensive distillation process and they haven't been able to get it to do what they've promised. They say they have a carbon nano-tube filter that can separate water and ethanol but no one's seen it work at high efficiency.

Alternatively, nationalize the rail lines and make UP pay for access. Privatization of critical infrastructure, historically, leads to poor outcomes with profits getting siphoned off in the process.

Rail workers aren’t getting sick days and trains are longer (leading to delays) because of investors squeezing rail infra and those who operate it. Why allow it to continue? The whole “privatizing profits socializing losses and externalities” is getting old, no?

"Diet Coke is not based on the Coca-Cola formula, but instead on Tab. The controversial New Coke, introduced in 1985, used a version of the Diet Coke recipe that contained high-fructose corn syrup and had a slightly different balance of ingredients."

Why would New Coke have been developed from Diet Coke if it tasted the same as Coca-Cola? Anyway you're wrong, but I admire the confidence.
Counterpoints and counter-counterpoints mentioning all these "studies" and yet not a single concrete example is given. It's a shame when online discussion and debate devolves into "here's my point just take my word for it".
> Is Rousseau correct that adults are correcting and that children in nature are pure, or are humans naturally selfish and children must be taught goodness and culture for them to live good and well.

This is a false dilemma. The fact that humans are capable of many different behaviors means that we are biologically prepared to exhibit all of them... in certain circumstances. Actually, the difference between nature and learning is also a false dilemma. The nature of homo sapiens is to learn. Some apes are born smarter than human babies, but the human babies dramatically exceed them at capacity to learn.

For example, it is natural to be nice to your family and friends, and hostile to strangers. The culture tries to overcome this. Less hostility to strangers, and less nepotism, so that a large civilization can be built. The civilization brings many good things (food, safety, comfort), but also lot of frustration, as we constantly need to overcome our instincts. Sometimes we find out that we were suppressing our instincts more than was necessary, and can relax a bit.

The main thing we teach children is self-control. Children can be super nice, when they are in the right mood. We teach them not to hit or bite their potential friends, when they happen to be in the opposite mood. Does this make friendliness natural or learned? The question is false. We learn how not to ruin the thing that we naturally want.

In education, kids are better at learning by observing than by listening. Teachers often err by talking too much. Instead, they should talk less, and let the kids observe each other as they succeed. Still, the teachers should teach; it is not reasonable to assume that kids will reinvent the entire civilization in 10 years.
That is a ludicrous take.

If exercise reduced risk of dementia by 99% would you still feel compelled to point out that it "doesn't appear to be the singular cause of increased wellness"?

Where's your threshold?

We literally have the solution. What you're saying, while it is technically true, seems to be more of an excuse or justification not to exercise. Perhaps I'm reading too much into your comment.
I am amazed at the number of folks in this thread who are clearly happy about this trend without realizing that are surrendering a fundamental freedom to their nanny state, one probably as deeply important a freedom of speech.

This definitely makes sense, but my initial gut reaction of not liking this is still strong. I just don't trust that this will be used to meaningful ways.

I also imagine the people that may be most likely to take their capital to another country aren't worried about capital controls like this. Surely they have much better ways of transferring their wealth than 10K cash payments at a time, but I'm not rich enough to know for sure.
I think 'rendering' here means something like 'doing what's needed to produce the final HTML for the browser to render'. You can produce the final HTML on the server (server side rendering), or the front-end (e.g., via DOM manipulation), or mix them up (e.g., HTMX replacing parts of the DOM with pre-rendered HTML from the server).

i.e., there's two different steps that each do something that can be called 'rendering': templates to HTML, and HTML to what the user sees in their browser.

I'm inclined to agree with the main sentiment of your post though, and lean myself towards solutions that rely on the server heavily with just a splash of javascript on the front end.

Fortunately this will also make it more difficult for North Korea to employ compulsory labor of NK civilians in the EU, which is one of the principal contributing factors to the regime's continued ability to act as a source of instability in the SCS region. There is a 45 minute documentary by Deutsche Welle (DW) on YT that informs on the issue.

This is one of those edge cases where you have a way of doing business that hasn't moved forward and 'with the times'.

The solution is to make larger denominations, not ban cash sales. But then the government would give up power, so that isn't going to happen.

US dollars say explicitly "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE", it would be ridiculous to say 'under $10000'.

Once the government has control what's to stop them doing like China has proposed, and make your virtual currency have velocity, meaning if you spend it today, it's worth $1, next week .9, and next month .5?
The legitimate/legal solution would be to buy back the bond and cancel it. But I guess everyone allows to continue because it's a cool piece of history.

I hired an editor once who added more mistakes to my writing he removed.

ChatGPT has a hypnotic ability that comes from its being trained to pick the least surprising next word. It is very fatiguing to catch its mistakes and if you falter and let one through your only consolation is that it will also hypnotize most of your readers.
In that case, humans and LLMs are optimizing for different things. One would be environmental fitness, with language as a strategy to use in that environment, so language is about the environment, including humans themselves. Whereas the other is a model of the language humans have used. The model is being optimized for the language, whereas humans are being optimized to use the language in an environment alongside other strategies.

The fundamental difference is that the LLM is not about the environment the language(s) were created for, but rather just the language use itself.
The cost is steadily dropping (see this from 2018):

https://www.science.org/content/article/cost-plunges-capturi...

If someone asked me for a current cost calculation for a large-scale facility producing methane or methanol, off the top of my head I imagine it's still 5-10X as expensive as mined fossil fuels are. Economies of scale might bring that down to parity fairly soon, however.
I've never used literate programming in a large project, but I have used it a few times at work and my experience is mostly that you are right. In a team where you'll have accumulated knowledge among team members about a codebase you are working in regularly, the benefit to literate programming seemed to be very quickly outstripped by the maintenance burden.

There is an exception though: runbook automation. When I write scripts to automate work that comes up when I'm on call, I try to write them in a literate style when I can, and commit them to a runbooks repo. The extra documentation is a lot more beneficial because they tend to be things that people aren't looking at regularly, and someone might be looking at it because of a 3am page or some urgent outage, so having a lot of documentation up front can be a big benefit.
So you bought a printer that is marketed as “Works only with original HP toner; requires HP account, internet to operate” and now you're mad that it requires you to use original HP toner?

Separating the frontend from the backend doesn't necessarily mean putting all of the frontend logic in the client. Your server can also have separate frontend (or "view") logic.
For what it's worth, you can also use voice control.

Or you can put the Tesla on autopilot for the few seconds while fiddling with the touch screen, which (to me) feels much more safer than e.g. messing with a physical radio in a car without such assistence features.

(I'm not arguing with you, in fact I mostly agree with you.)
He didn't specify that it should be a good standup comedian
Sir Pterry was a proper old school journalist and writer. He was incredibly well read and was meticulous in his research. Oh and he wrote some books! He had a facility with language that was often breathtaking and an understanding of people and relationships that is easily relatable.

He chose the medium of fantasy and really ran with it. After the first two Discworld novels he really got into his stride and would generally pick on a theme per book and really go to town on it. Who else could turn stamp collecting ("Going Postal") into a real page turner?

You get characters like the Patrician (a sort of medieval Italian city state despot crossed with ... well he's unique and can thrash a cryptic crossword and has an elderly dog) and Sam Vimes (from guttersnipe to Lord in a very complicated lifetime). You get real witches and wizards (some of who end up playing football - soz soccer). You get the memorable Granny Weatherwax and ... and. Basically you get loads of beautifully crafted and rendered characters. Oh and you get Gods and Death too (he rides a horse called Binky)

Pratchett has been accused of Literature and it would probably stick if his works were not so enjoyable and accessible to read. He has been translated into a lot of languages which implies to me that his world view really is that - a world view that is worth investigating.

The major “freedom indices” are polluted neoliberal ideological wankery that shouldn’t be used to settle a bar argument let alone decide that it’s totally fine to do away with large cash transactions.

Even limiting things to strictly “financial freedom” - while more germane to the cashless question and also happen to stick the US above all of Europe save Switzerland - are highly questionable due to the inclusion of weird subjective metrics like “labor regulations = less freedom”

How to Uncurse Your Dice Before Game Night
We don't, but we do consider prolonged unemployment as a personal failure.

Having Short-term unemployment is fine and a sign of a working economy where people move between companies. Long-term unemployment is something else entirely: it's a sign of people quitting the labor market and deciding not to contribute to society.

People here love Marx, yet they keep forgetting what he had to say on that issue: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". Long-term unemployment means you're not giving according to your ability (and thus shouldn't receive according to your needs).

>But, how does it come, that these procedures to get building permits have been slowed down/bureaucratized to the point that it almost seems intentional?

NIMBY. Whomever owns the land/house right now wants it to go up in value which happens more if there is a lack of supply.

>Also, the anger is not about them intentionally shortening supply - it’s about them intentionally asking and taking the higher prices. Nobody forces them to take more than e.g. a 10% shortage signal markup, but we force people on the other side to wipe the floor with their dignity.

So in a free market if they sell for cost+10% then the first person they sell to will either rent it, airbnb it or sell it for market rates. The only difference is that now someone won a bit of a lottery versus the developer getting it. Of course they had to pay market rate for the land they built on so it's likely they're already selling at cost+N%.
HEIF is an abstract concept like 'binary'. Saying that image is stored in binary doesn't tell much, the same for HEIF. JPEG XL can be stored in a HEIF container.

It wouldn't help with technical compatibility, and a container format containing everything under the sun is going to bring a lot of long-term support burden and attack surface with it. Also, it is going to bring chaos since no one supports the whole format but just some fraction of it.

> I'd like for the metadata to exist in memory tho, in almost every app, I read that metadata within the rom itself, I don't want to be fetching that external file each time I need to display the about box.

Then, you could use my first idea, of the first four bytes skipping past the header which starts with a code to identify the header (such as ASCII text "UXN!META", or whatever else might be agreed on); this is similar to the way that the Game Boy header is working.

There may be not many instances, but this is simply not an argument. That is irrelevant. People should be have the freedom to use cash.

We had instances where a government blocked bank accounts of protesters, in democracies and autocracies alike. This is unacceptable. No government in the world should be able to restrict what people can do with their own money. And with this EU-wide limit, we are one step closer to nothing else orwellian authoritarianism.
