The existence of a black market doesn't negate the impact of legalization.

In North Korea and China there is a massive black market of movies because there is no alternative distribution network.

In the USA there is a smaller black market because piracy offers benefits over streaming services.

If the government decided entertainment was a human right and gave everyone free streaming subscriptions, the black market would shrink further because the utility that piracy provides would decrease.

Now if your goal is to prevent fentanyl from being cut with other things then you would want to shrink the black market. I personally think that a state monopoly on drugs would be your best bet. To eliminate a black market totally you would just give infinite fentanyl away for free.

But if your goal is to reduce overdoses then you would need to balance availability with safety, which is a tricky utility function. Adding requirements like rehab, or rationing fentanyl, or only letting people get high in a location with medics on standby only increases the utility of going to the black market since you can get high without jumping through hoops for Big Brother.

However I don't think anyone in our government or media seriously takes any of this into consideration. It seems like a 50/50 mix of moral judgements on addicts and using drugs as a talking point to manufacture border crisis narratives. Any mainstream discussion of the topic is usually just to scare people so they will be more susceptible to whatever inhumane "solution" is proffered by a talking head immediately afterwards.

Which is exactly the response you see in the OP I was replying to. "Well this policy decision isn't perfect, but the alternative is far worse" is basically the opinion that the media wants us to have when they run stories like this.

> New hires suffer the most. It’s an extra layer of company-specific jargon that you have to learn to even begin to understand what your peers are talking about.

I wonder if that's the point, and why certain people use weird names for things. They're senior engineers, they get a nice salary, it's rational (albeit not in the interest of their employer) to prevent their job getting taken over by a junior developer. So they have to set up roadblocks, moats, barriers to entry etc., and weird service names are one such barrier.

In general team members are going to look after their own interests (e.g. set up roadblocks), but if this sort of stuff goes on it shows bad engineering leadership within the company, as it's the leadership's responsibility to stamp down on this sort of behaviour.
Actually… kind of common in parts of Kentucky. My son in law arranged for us to buy a gallon to subdivide for gifts. Guy showed up with moonshine in the trunk. This is rural Kentucky, so you can't just have a transaction, you have to talk and be social for a period of time. So the seller brought out the AR15 from the trunk and there was some drinking, talking, and can shooting in the hollow… then we bought and paid and he was off to the next customer.

It came in a gallon water jug, like you would buy water in a grocery store. Ultimately I think that was its demise. When I went looking for it to subdivide I couldn't find it. But I had used a gallon of spring water to prime a well, I suspect I grabbed the wrong jug and primed the well with moonshine. The previously clear well kept producing a cloudy material that year.

No great loss, it isn't a "fine drinking" product. They make it from sugar since that's cheaper and cleaner. It's very much a "get you drunk cheap" product.

It's one of those things where if you don't close the gap you'll get other cars constantly trying to jump into it. Same with not speeding, you'll get overtaken constantly.

Aspirin use can result in serious side effects, such as stomach bleeding, bleeding in the brain, and kidney failure.[1]

I was reading something I recall trusting talking about how taking the probabilities of the side effects occurring from taking aspirin regularly were higher than the potential heart attack if you didn't have heart related conditions.

I didn't think fentanyl was what people were trying to buy. I was under the impression fentanyl was used to make the main product more potent and you could use less of the main product reducing costs. What people want to buy is the main product, not fentanyl.

So if controlled then there would be less use of fentanyl and less ODs?
I haven't read statute, but my understanding has always been that if you run into the car in front of you, it is your fault, period. If you didn't have time to stop, you are "Following too close for conditions", regardless of what those conditions are. I agree that culturally a lot of people in such situations say "It's not my fault, they stopped right in front of me!", but as you correctly point out, there are legitimate reasons for someone to come to a sudden stop, and as a driver it is YOUR responsibility to make sure you are ready for that possibility.
In what way will it improve their, or anyone's, lives to rename the Mississippi to The Big Brown?
Is this what happens when the driver ignores the steering wheel nag warning? I've never let mine get to that point but I think the car pulls over and stops? (Not saying what the Tesla did here was ok just curious if that's what it was doing)

I've had the same Herman Miller Aeron for 22 years. It's survived 4 office moves (by office moving companies) and finally a move to my house when I went WFH full time. I've replaced the casters (due to different flooring) and the lumbar support but other than that, it's still in great working condition. All the adjustments are still working, the seat and back fabric are basically like new, the fabric on the arms is still in good shape (if faded).

I got mine used or overstock (been so long I don't remember) and it would be totally worth whatever it costs new.
> If all government services moved to a fee based approach

This is essentially just privatizing everything. Just have all the kids pay for their own schooling. Eliminate Medicaid, kids can afford their own healthcare. All social safety nets would be eliminated, as if they require the people receiving the benefits to fund it then those programs would just never actually work.

> Locally, I pay a separate fee for trash pickup. That's awesome.

Its not awesome when your neighbor decides to just no longer pay for trash service and starts piling up trash heaps right along your property line leading to extremely unsanitary conditions right next to your home. Or when your neighbors don't bother paying their fire department fees and that trash heap right next to your house starts burning but the department won't bother doing anything until its your house on fire.
Home-made black powder cartridges aren't too bad. The caps are hardest to make but easy enough to hide as they are really fucking small and you only need 6 to fill a black powder revolver. A black powder revolver legit is good enough for self defense and almost as useful as a modern revolver if you maintain the load everyday. Also a good 'felon carry' as black powder revolvers are unregulated federally in US.

Also little known but fun fact. Flintlocks aren't considered guns in Canada. You can buy the flintlock, and make the powder all without any scrutiny.
Firearms are literally technology. If you believe what you say you do, then you believe that this social problem was solved with technology.

Ancient Romans had aqueducts and public bathhouses while many (even centuries later) did not. Today, everyone gets treated clean water coming to them personally!

Roman citizens had an average wage which today would be considered extreme poverty. It all depends on what you mean by “living wage”.

Public services are available to everyone. Public WiFi. Emergency medicine. Medicaid. Clean and safe potable water. The only issue is rent and shelters but NYC is inefficient. It’s not even lack of housing: https://nypost.com/2022/04/26/nycs-filled-just-200-of-2500-e...

Also NYC is really gentrified and rents are so high. Yet young people choose to move here and share an apartment, because they like the city and opportunity. They eat out in restaurants, something previous generations couldn’t afford. Today, many people don’t shop in supermakets and cook, like people in the 80s did - they order in. They buy tons of stuff to be delivered.

My friend works in homeless services and says they are using the homeless to create jobs … his own job is to work with the security guards that work with the homeless … ironically it would cost less to just give the homeless homes and jobs LOL.

This is just one example. And the irony is that NYC homeless people are the same as other NYC-ers .. they endure the cold and the high prices but don’t want to move somewhere warmer and far more affordable! Even our homeles are snobs LOL

I was really hoping we'd all be mature enough to not have this petty argument over when people studying the properties of chemicals stopped being called "alchemists" and started being called "chemists". What year was that, exactly? Exactly. I need an exact year, so I don't make this "mistake" again, please. Because otherwise, I think "early chemists" is a perfectly accurate description of early humans studying the properties of chemicals.

The summary under the reference article above states this:

About a minute in, he talks about the work he did at Western Technologies, programming VCS/2600 Raft Rider and Qbert. He also mentions WT getting the contract to make home versions of a Mylstar arcade game that wasn't released called Qbert Circus. I'm not sure if he's confused and was talking about Q*bert's Qubes (which a VCS version was released) or possibly Circus Charlie (which a VCS version was planned but never released).
@dang Why is this story flagged?
It will satisfy the thirst of winning a political fight and nothing else.
I'm old enough to have seen this as a fashion trend unto itself.

If you go back and watch TV shows from the 80s, you'll see a lot of 50s nostalgia.

In the 90s, it was the 60s that was being fetishized. They even brought back Woodstock, twice. I was in high school in the 90s and "hippie fashion" was very popular. Tie dyed shirts came back etc.

In the 2000s the 70s were in. We had TV shows like That 70s Show etc.

Then it was the 80s, and now 90s nostalgia is starting to come in.

It's the cycle of aging. All the kids and teenagers from those decades are now middle aged and they want to consume nostalgia. If they had kids in their 20s, then those kids are now teenagers and young adults and are becoming curious about their parents lived experiences and all the things that they just missed out on (during the 00s I was very interested in the 70s since that decade happened right before I was born).

But this is a specific exception, not the rule. Middle aged consumers are not the trend-setting hipsters who create new fashion trends (the stuff that they will fetishize when they are middle age).

What's really ironic, though, is that in tech there really isn't much that is new. Even AI/ML was being researched as far back as the 1940s, we had working proof of concepts in the 80s. We knew how to do this stuff ages ago, and had practical applications. We just needed the hardware and data accessibility to catch up so that we have the storage and computing to actually train these things. Every advancement over the last 20 years has been small incremental refinements. The big stuff is not new.

But the industry still fetishizes it like it's new.

"Cloud" is just resource sharing. We're back to mainframes, complete with the vendor lock-in caused by proprietary APIs. And yet it is branded, marketed and fetishized as if it's "new."

OOP is soooo passe. We tried that in the 90s and 00s and there were ... gasp... problems! People wrote buggy and difficult to maintain code. Enter Functional Programming and now this is the way that we do things. It's impossible to write bad code in this paradigm ... right?!

Relational databases are slow and complicated and require DBAs to maintain. In comes NoSQL and key/value doc-stores ... now THIS is the way we do things. You can't develop a bad product using a doc store database ... right?!

Restful APIs require strong collaboration between backend and frontend developers and simple, single-purpose contracts aren't very flexible. In comes GraphQL now ALL web apps need to use it because you can't develop a difficult to maintain application using GraphQL .. .right!?

This is the point of the article and after 25 years in the industry I have a hard time finding the lie.

I would generally agree with that approach but I think that there are so many other issues at play that will claw back any progress that would have been made.

> Early chemists gave cutesy names to chemicals, like "vitriol", "salt", and "cholesterol". Today we know the proper descriptive names for these substances, of course.

That's not what happened, and nobody is saying that the chemical serialization is the "correct" name. The reality is that originally we didn't know the internal structure of these chemicals or understand how they functioned: referring to something as an acid didn't matter because we didn't understand how acids worked. The naming grew as our understanding of the function grew.

But, critically, the old names are still useful in some contexts, because the chemicals serve different functions in different contexts. Nutritionists don't necessarily need to know that Vitamin C is an acid, and they certainly don't need to know the exact chemical structure of cholesterol. In fact, it's telling that your chemical structure actually is just one form of cholesterol, because cholesterol is a group of chemicals, not one chemical.

More fundamentally, naming the structures of chemicals is different from naming services, because chemicals don't change. Sulfuric acid will always be H2SO4, and it will always react the same given the same conditions. That's not true of services.

> See, the problem is that what's "descriptive" is opinionated, and a hot topic for bikeshedding.

Sure... but the answer is just "don't do that". If you spend 30 hours a week arguing over whether something is a "adapter" or a "converter" that's a waste of time, because those terms are both pretty similar. No one is saying that's a good idea. That doesn't mean that we should just throw up our hands and name the object "SamuelLJackson", it means we should give things the most descriptive name we can come up with in, say, 30 seconds. Which, for something that changes objects from one format to another, isn't SamuelLJackson.

Part of the problem I'm seeing here is that people seem to be concerned that name changes are a waste of time. That's true to some extent, but having to figure out what a poorly-named entity does is a much larger waste of time. And if it isn't, I have to ask, why is changing names taking so long? Perhaps it's a lack of tests? Poor editor tooling? Whatever it is, fix whatever is making your names hard to change, don't give up on descriptive names.
Yep. And what rent-controlled units exist, have huge waiting lists. If you don't like the place, or if your landlord is negligent or an abusive jerk, then too bad, them's the breaks. You're "happy" to take such a place because the alternative is worse. That doesn't mean it's good.

Galmon reveals fun stuff including the horizon around each receiver. I don't have the link handy, but one of the contributors was plotting "where in the sky a given receiver has ever seen a satellite", and it's plain to see which ones are next to mountains and stuff, because the outline of the mountains is vividly traced on the horizon.

However, that's all long-term stuff. Moment to moment, GNSS receivers try very hard to mask momentary blips in data. I think you'd need to be down at the RF/baseband level to see the stuff you're trying to see, rather than taking "cooked" data from the receivers.

The SDR GPS receiver in the KiwiSDR may be a good start.
