Arbitration is a contentious legal issue, despite being present in many types of contracts.

It is contentious because legal research has repeatedly demonstrated that there are legal fields in which for an undetermined reason the plaintiff faces far longer odds than they would have in court.

This concerns arbitrations that in 90% of cases are in favor of the defendant. While in 'normal' case law you see rates closer to 60%. (Yes the research also accounted for cost differences by comparing similar classes of cases, no-cure-no-pay etc..)

It is also suspected that the plaintif usually gets less compensation for damages through arbitration.

Another issue is that arbitrators sometimes earn a lot money and are obviously incentivised to attract 'customers'. The problem is that there are and will always be many more plaintiffs than there are defendants. So the selection of arbitrators depends on decisions by the future-defendants. (Unless a specific organisation is legally mandated, but I've not encountered this before)

Depending on your use case, devbox (https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox) could be what you're looking for. It is powered by Nix, but abstracts the nix language away, so that you can use it like a "regular" package manager.

Currently it works on a "per-project" basis, but we're planning to add support to use it as your primary package manager for global installs as well.

Reminds me of something that happened in HS.

I had a very religious teacher who went on a rant one day about the book 'The Clan of the Cave Bear'. Having read, and loved, the book I was at first very interested in his opinion on it.

He completely misrepresented both the book and the things that happened in the book. I was actually astounded, he very clearly had not read the book himself and got his opinion from somewhere else (this was mid 90's).

I'm completely onboard with ensuring teachers limit how much of their political and religious beliefs make it into the classroom.

OTOH, there was a controversy in the late 90's where a teacher asked a little girl not to wear a "I love jesus" t-shirt to school. Apparently there was a Mexican boy named Jesus in class and it got everyone giggling and was disruptive.

You can understand both sides there, but at the end of the day it's a place for learning and if it's being disruptive due to the students age then it's being disruptive.

So I don't think it's all that simple, but I do think we can do better.

>It's the modern equivalent of disallowing any research that conflicts with the bible, for example.

It's ideology being put above all else. It can be religious or non-religious. You don't need to look much further than Stalin's Russia.
Lysenkoism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenkoism?wprov=sfla1 ) was the nonsense hoops that academics had to jump in order to align with the Ideology of the Russian state.
Those who aligned their work efforts to the ideology were rewarded, promoted and those who didn't ended up much worse.

We don't have this extreme level here in Western countries, but we are starting to see the seeds of it. It's nice to see MIT standing up against this. Stanford seems to be all for ideology.

If only they'd tell you. We had this exact issue on AWS. Seemingly random packet drops. Metrics on both clients and servers were ok, latency specifically was very low when it worked.

Call up support "yeah, you're running into our connection limit". "Oh. What's that limit?" "yeah, I can't tell you that". His solution was that, since this was somehow related to connection tracking in the security group, I could set this to allow all/all, and set up filtering at the NACL level. Turns out I could do it for this particular issue.

This was before there was a possibility to monitor this [0]. Called up our customer manager. "Let me check". A few days later, "yeah, that's not something we divulge".

I needed to write an official letter today.

I could have written it myself, but that would take some effort.

I could google it, scroll past the ads. Click on the first result, hope it is kinda what I need. On that page scroll past the ads and SEO blabla-text. Copy the information that I need. Paste it in a doc. Rewrite it to what I need. Fill in my information.

I went to ChatGPT told him what kind of letter I need. Told him what personal information it should put in. Got a good enough text back. Told it what to correct. Copy pasted it and formatted it a bit. Done.

way better experience then with Google.

> These people have the advantage of having abandoned civility, but they still get to weaponize civility to make sure their voice is heard without interruption, without immediate critique or debate, without consequence.

This sounds similar to conservatives/right-ish people complaining about cancel culture. Generally most of your text strikes me as hyperbole, having actually made an effort to understand conservatives despite not really falling into their camp. Nothing you assert sounds familiar to me.

This matters to me because the thing that made me listen to conservative voices in the first place was that their self-expressed beliefs never lined up with what people told me they thought. Crying wolf etc. At worst they’re religious freaks that don’t want to call a gay marriage a marriage (petty) and think trans stuff is a sexual fetish (out of touch). Yet I’m to believe in 2022 I’m going to get lynched for liking dick. I actively stopped caring about politics bc I can never tell anymore when people are trying to freak me out to get me to listen to them. This being said as someone who grew up gay and scared in the traditional underbelly of the US.

Some specific reactions follow:

> I don't agree with what this guy is saying about wanting trans people dragged away by cops and beaten

Are you referring to some specific event, or is this just what you believe all non-lefty people secretly want? In what context, just generally if a born-X person publicly presents as Y? This version of trans opposition is foreign to me and makes no sense.

> Leftists don't want Matt Walsh giving a talk at a university because he's going to do what he always does and in some form call for violence against LGBT people.

I’ve only ever seen his JRE interview, do you mean explicit, general advocacy of literal physical violence against LGBT persons? I think he exploits general confusion around gender vs sex and concern for children, but I’ve never heard anyone advocate anything close to that. Matt specifically comes off as a troll.

> So... when is that? When will we get to debate Steven Crowder in a public space?

Doesn’t he literally go to public spaces with signs saying “change my mind”?

> Leftists are forced to lash out at the false definition of civility that lets people say "I dunno, trans people are icky, let's just not let them pee in public,” but doesn't let people say "that's fucked up, where are trans people supposed to pee then?"

In the bathroom associated with their biological sex? Also who is preventing trans activists from speaking? I think you have the power dynamics mixed up, every major US institution appears on-board with affirming trans identity. Honestly I don’t really understand why women need a whole separate bathroom to begin with.
I don't understand why you're trying to take my comment on this weird tangent.

What the fossil fuel companies did was hide what they knew about global warming and manipulate governments into continued investment in reliance on fossil fuels. It's not like it's all a big conspiracy against nuclear.

Also, as other commenters indicate, wind and solar are quite effective in displacing their business, even if not entirely (due to the intermittency problem) - as they are cheaper, renewable, safer, don't have the waste issues and do not involve problematic geo-politics for the fuel. Not to mention how wind and solar don't preclude the use of nuclear for night-time generation.

Researchers can’t wfh except in scenarios where special equipment makes it untenable?

I feel like we’re clinging to yesteryears normalized agency and ignoring experimenting with alternatives to preserve existing privileges; researchers who rely on essential workers to keep them alive, often produce results that years later are invalidated, because our statistical tools were not designed with government/social problem solving in mind [1], should not be protected from reality; their value to the society providing them their necessities is not what it once was. Horse and buggy drivers, rotary phone makers are saying they should get in line.

The knowable world is experimentally bounded; coloring inside the lines gets arbitrary and subjective fast. It’s not something society should be on the hook to coddle given the established constraints are accessible to all. They can speak freely about their ideas in a park over chess, or via Zoom, and otherwise contribute to real work keeping their meat bag alive.

> Because that innovation is market driven and turns out "brick of glass" is what people want, no matter what you or I or the Brussels bureaucrats say.

History has countless examples of how the market is very bad at accounting for externalities.

People may very well want just a "brick of glass", but regulation comes in and drives innovation when it turns out that selling people what they want in the short term actually needlessly harms society in the long run.

"What the people want" actually has a lot of nuance and variability over different timeframes.

I have friends on Mastodon for some 5+ years and this isn't really an issue. If it actually keeps happening than either the instances you're picking are run by teenagers, or you're actually engaging in some sort of a behavior that perhaps warrants a ban?

The primary purpose of some dams is for water control, whether to control flooding, provide for irrigation and consumption, or both. You cannot divorce the power station from the reservoir in judging a particular hydro dam's environmental impact, because generating power is only one purpose of the dam. The Hoover with Lake Mead is certainly, objectively, and effectively of this dual purpose.

All of these criticisms fail to address a big elephantine question: Are these hurdles insurmountable?

If ChatGPT's model fails to differentiate or understand the question of credibility, how tough would it be to build classifiers that could do a 75% decent job?

If AI presentation of knowledge is imperfect - well, fine. But is human presentation or selection perfect for that matter? Criticising a thing for imperfection is not a viable take.

If ChatGPT's knowledge is limited, how tough would it be to plug it into larger and larger datasets, including the live internet itself?

It's like there's a wall between the people who see the potential of this and the people who feel so threatened by it that they refuse to look over the wall.

my hat off to the scientists behind this very remarkable work.

so you can't get the clotting without that IGLV3-21*02 gene. now the interesting question here is that, with current tech, is it possible to manufacture very affordable (e.g. cost comparable to those COVID antigen test kits) rapid test kits that can detect such positive IGLV3-21*02 gene. some false positive level is fine, false negative must be very low.

surely people in low income countries who only have access to the AZ vaccine can benefit from such tests if affordable test kits can be made available to local healthcare workers administrating the vaccination.

It is discrete, and very much not a spectrum. However, there are activists who are trying to override empirical findings to justify their ideas about gender (I have no horse in this race).

Seems like a lot of people are very excited about throwing IBJIYONGI [0] under the bus for being outspoken but few are actually interested in reading Nasa's account of the situation [1:2] released in November:

> Based on the available evidence, the agency does not plan to change the name of the James Webb Space Telescope. However, the report illuminates that this period in federal policy – and in American history more broadly – was a dark chapter that does not reflect the agency’s values today. Understanding this history will help to guide NASA in its work to advance full equality for LGBTQI+ Americans, and equal opportunities for LGBTQI+ NASA employees. By sharing these findings, we also hope to promote public understanding of the history of discrimination against LGBTQI+ employees throughout the federal government and strengthen our efforts to confront the barriers that LGBTQI+ Americans continue to face.

It is disappointing that most of the pro-change activists continue to waste their breath arguing semantics instead of letting it go. It must sting for the engineers and scientists working on JWST to see so many non-stakeholders still complaining about the name.

It is more disappointing that so many new members of the conversation seem happiest to tear down and bully the individuals who asked for change. Eternal September, yet again.
