Except that's not what's happening here. The law itself is carefully drafted and abuse of the law for deceptive reasons like saving money in healthcare would not be lawful.

Secondly, if the state fails to provide a regulatory framework for assisted dying, people tend to take matters into their own hands. Recall that the Canadian system for assisted death was established as a result of a sequence of court decisions dating back to 1993 [2]. Unlike the United States, the Supreme Court of Canada is viewed as largely apolitical.

Someone can only be eligible for assisted death if they have a "grievous and irremediable medical condition," they've asked for it without external pressure, AND they give their consent AFTER being told of other options such as palliative care that might otherwise serve to alleviate their suffering.

The concept of a "grievous and irremediable medical condition" is also defined carefully in the law. To qualify, they must "have a serious and incurable illness, disease or disability; they are in an advanced state of irreversible decline in capability; and that illness, disease or disability or that state of decline causes them enduring physical or psychological suffering that is intolerable to them and that cannot be relieved under conditions that they consider acceptable."

Mental illness is specifically excluded: "For the purposes of paragraph (2)(a), a mental illness is not considered to be an illness, disease or disability." The government was set to allow mental illness as an eligible category in March 2023, but that has been delayed for further study.

Mech E here. The reality we’re paid less is because it’s harder to make a profit (but to be fair, MechE in tech get paid well still). Making good margins is really hard. You have one shot to do anything. Worse of all, anyone can take apart your design, reverse engineer and sell your product by 20% less because they don’t have to worry about recovering R&D. Most Americans won’t even bat an eye, they’ll just buy whatever works and is cheap and affordable to them.
Most "legitimate" robocalls from a school or doctor's office are better off as SMS. Does an appointment reminder really need my immediate undivided attention? If it's not worth having an employee manually make the call it's probably not worth my time to answer.
Can this thing even word wrap? Last time I checked out Lite or some variation it couldn't even word wrap.
> they tend not to survive too long.

Usually they try regulatory capture or anti-competitive behavior first.
I used to think that, but then reality struck.

For the financial companies, the process varied greatly by company. Some were OK, others were terrible, some flat out didn't work. The bottom line is that this isn't a super common business flow for them and its not something they make money on, so it gets very little attention. When you actually need to go through it you realize its a very difficult process.

Oh and it always takes a LONG time, even with the better companies. Easily months to get everything fully done.

How is Couchbase in general and the mobile sync in particular relevant to United not having this disaster right now?

I've worked with airline scheduling software at almost the scale of United (about half the size, for the largest customer). That was using an Oracle database, which was a bit of a pain and a big expense, but worked fine as long as there was competent admins and competent devs. Would Couchbase be disaster-proof even when run by clowns?

Not saying there aren't better and worse choices for databases in any given situation. Just saying that there are lots of them that work perfectly well in competent hands.

I'm so glad I failed the "Professional Engineer" qualification test just after I graduated. I had the worst cold/sinus infection of my life, barely maintaining consciousness during the test and losing consciousness between sections. I failed by one point with a 74%.

Had I passed, I would have likely been stuck in mechanical engineering for life due to salary lock-in. Instead, I got an average job, learned systems admin and development on my own time and was able to transition to a sys admin position after only 2 years as an ME.

I continued learning development and made a career as a software engineer which was an infinitely happier path for me.
This looks like a very cool project! The docs include this description of the core algorithm:

> The space repetition algorithm in Trane is fairly simple and relies on computing a score for a given exercise based on previous trials rather than computing the optimal time at which the exercise needs to be presented again. This will most likely result in exercises being presented more often than they would in other spaced repetition software. Trane is not focused on memorization but on the repetition of individual skills until they are mastered, so I do not believe this to be a problem.

Could you say more about it?
It has been so long since I last used an editor that could handle very large files or long lines, that I'm struggling to remember one. Maybe SlickEdit? The Forte Agent newsreader?

> little to no effectiveness to prop up your numbers for the domestic public

Citation needed. This is borderline beyond "useful idiot" hot take because even DoD propaganda/analysis or defense wonks do not allege this, and they allege a lot of dumb shit with respect to PRC modernization. Western assesment of PLAN in last few years, with respect to blue water surface combatants, being commissioned at tremendous rates, is one branch where recent DoD writings / analysis has no substantial tech/hardware criticisms, relegating to, their hardware good but maybe software (training/jointness) lacking.

Also to repeat "Many of which more modern". PLAN's blue water surface combatants built since 2010s are considered on par, if not superior with equivalent USN platforms in terms of systems and armaments, including latest flights. Certainly more than the significant portion of USN's aging hulls, many of which are not modernized to latest tech and are held together by duct tape / soon to retire. Like USN isn't going to have anything comparable to a type 55 for another 10+ years in DDG(X). It's hard to overstake the amount of USN program/procurement fuckups in the past decades and ongoing state of US ship building that enabled PRC to catch up in both quality and quantity. Majority of which concentrated in PRC backyard, on new hulls with better maintenance and readiness rates, that widens regional blue water naval power gap even further.
That’s why it’s better to have a mix of assets, some that can be easily liquidated, than cash.

$1m in the right assets could become $4m in youre scenario with the same purchasing power of the $1m before inflation.

In reality, you’ll probably lose some value though because the people holding cash that now have far less purchasing power, which torpedoes demand. Still better to be in assets than cash though.

I gave this serious thought.

The core problem is I'm not sure my child will want to use a graphing calculator much. All of these things feel like relics, compared to Python, Desmos, and similar tools. The HP Prime has a 320x240 display, to his 4k monitor. It has 512MB of flash, compared to his 1TB SSD. For casual use, there are cell phones.

It's necessary for AP and SAT exams, but I'm just not sure if it's not otherwise a relic of a bygone era.

I'm inclined to get one and see how it goes.

I agree. I go weeks at a time without having to do any critical thinking whatsoever.

There probably are some situations that do actually require a looping reasoning process that a simple feed-forward neural network can't do, but they are fairly rare.

The most common ones probably actually involve complex parking lot navigation tasks, where you have to negotiate the space with other drivers, understand their intentions, yield space, take space, etc.

Australia is largest lithium producer; why are battery startups leaving?
"Because I'm trying to figure out "the unique" angle for the startup"

"my ambition with the startup is to eventually match my bay area salary."

If your primary aim is to replace your bay area salary, you don't need a unique angle. You need to focus on creating a business that does enough cashflow to replace your bay area income. Very possible even without a co founder and the real startup definition. You just need to create a small business that brings in say 500k at some point for you ?

If this is your primary goal and you don't care about changing the world and all, just pick a good boring idea in a vast space with real problems and focus on getting enough customers in that space first by yourself. learn how to sell by trying to sell. If you get lucky along the way, may be you will find a couple of good people who could end up being part of this or not.

Another option is to buy an existing small business that may be doing something already and you can grow it further. If you work in bay area and have saved up well, you could buy a biz for say 500-600K that brings in 150-200k cashflow per year give or take. Then work on expanding that cashflow further.

What a strange comment,

It seems like you're trying to make a point for Tesla but the arguments you present make Blue Cruise seem like a more carefully planned and safer technology, lol.
We don't have the manufacturing capability in the US to make use of a boatload of really good MechE's here. There's sort of 3 paths I've seen among ME's I know: 1) Product Design at large tech company who can make consumer electronics in the millions overseas, 2) SMB work/freelance – doing odd jobs for themselves or small businesses: making specialized manufacturing equipment for low-volume high-value US MFG, doing small runs of "designer" accessories for tech (e.g. phone cases), or specializing in a niche field that interests them like mountain biking, and 3) switching to a better paid field like EE/CS after they discover that mechatronics is on par with biomedical engineering in terms of demand for engineers who know a little about everything, but aren't super deep in one particular area.
Yeah; unfortunately, none of the core dev teams work on Macs, so while being known, it's hard to fix on our end. We'll get it eventually.

I assume they do. But of course if someone has lived most of their life outside of the USA any criminal record they might have will be outside of the USA.

Why should they only be concerned about terrorism?

> Most of us are able to drive instinctively, without fully engaging all of our attention; we certainly aren't solving problems with deep analytical thinking

Depends. Many of the type of situations where FSD runs into trouble or disengages are also the ones where a human would slow down/pause and ponder a moment what to do next. In the FSD case, it then often eventually gives up and disengages, because it can't confidently predict what action to take. Humans show better performance in those cases.

If you ask me what separates a human from ChatGPT right now, it's that ability to use reasoning to fill in for bad training data. If, as some people have posited, the training data for ChatGPT-like systems is possibly already exhausted, we need some new ideas.

But humans are good at that. :-)

Aside from that, note also that your learned instinctive predictions take into account many more parameters than the models a Tesla currently runs anyway. For example you have an understanding of social dynamics (so what those other human drivers think and what might be acting on them, etc.) that is far in excess of what the Tesla models can learn implicitly from videos that observe them driving. With some of these things we have no idea yet how to feed them into the models.
Transferring financial accounts I found out to be a very difficult and time consuming process. In some cases it was just flat out not possible even though I had everything I needed. I was shocked by how bad it was.

Other things were also required. E.g. my father had a small business. It was big enough that it had real income and we wanted to keep it going, but not big enough that there was tons of redundancy for this type of event. Without having his passwords the business would have ground to a halt in 2 weeks (payroll). Add to that all sorts of business accounts (domains, mail, accounting, etc, etc) and having this emergency access turned out to be the key to keeping things going.

Even his personal email - he would have wanted us to have access, but how does he give access without just giving us his PW? Turned out that emergency access was the perfect solution.
> Commercial VPNs are not as useful and secure as you think.

That's highly contingent on the "as you think" part.

For example, I use ExpressVPN on public WiFi networks because I trust them a whole lot more than random public WiFi providers. Sure, they have access to the URLs I've accessed while using their service. Then again, so does my ISP.

The crucial part is, said random public WiFi providers won't have access to that data.

Additionally, and much more importantly, some public WiFi providers try to MITM secure connections, which is effectively prevented when using a trustworthy VPN.
> ...and how does it not destroy the nutritional value of the food?

Acids destroying whatever they touch is mostly a "kiddie" version of reality. 99.9% of acids found outside of chemistry labs and industrial settings are no more dangerous or destructive (as acids) than soda pop, lime juice, or human vomit (all of which are acids).

The reason is that some far stronger and/or more dangerous acids occasionally show up in household settings. Example: "battery acid", splashed on the skin, can cause horrific & life-long damage in seconds. Teaching kids to stay far away from anything labeled "Acid" is kinda like teaching 'em not to play with fire.
In some cases, raising the rent will do it [0]. This one looks like political brinksmanship gone wrong for all sides, and the article suggests that it's being undone right now.

Random citizen asking obviously does nothing, but foreign base COs are always desperately trying to keep their forces on best behavior to minimize frustration. That's not easy when you import a bunch of guys in the age range that most often causes trouble, give them significant spending money, and remove them from past anchoring influences. It's worse when the receiving society is more orderly; I have Japan in mind.

Fighting against those problems is that all political leadership generally benefits from the arrangements. The foreign host nation gets economic activity and some amount of bargaining power, and the US gets a location that obviously is helpful for some strategic objective.

>Right, so what for are the US military bases on European soil then? (Please spare me the part about protecting Europe from outside threats story).

An anomalous, peaceful Europe is the water that you're swimming in, and I'm trying to point out that it's wet. I recognize the limited prospects of the endeavor. Though, if it's the outside part you're rejecting, I'll acknowledge my imprecise wording. Russia is the outside threat, being outside the Western European culture that is defended, but threats come from within Europe too.

Devaluing anything that isn't what the executive considers value. One wants optimize systems, not just increase the duty cycle of the thing that is expensive.
