Article says the average cargo theft is $214K, which I'll guess is more than average shoplifting, meaning cargo theft is less frequent. Logistics companies are less relatable than physical stores where people have been.

Cargo theft is just less relatable in every way.
I suppose some of the design choices were guided by the prompts chatGPT got from me, so to be fair I’d be to blame for confusing design. I figure the best way to get the hang of the rules was to play a couple of throwaway games — they are quick to play. However if you can share any suggestions for making the experience more intuitive, please let me know, I’d be happy to try making it better :)
My point is, blaming SM and only SM is a (false) oversimplification. There are systematic societal issues getting a free pass because of our collective willingness to buy into a distraction that the cause is SM.

Just because adults have normalized the baggage of negativity and lack of progress doesn't mean the kids aren't feeling beyond the lies. FFS, any reasonable adult should be feeling pain and distraught at this point.

p.s. I forgot to mention climate change / environmental damage. Imagine being young and thinking "someday this shit-show will be mine." It's foolish and naive to blame SM for this.
Seems like a pretty unfounded assumption. Why do you think all of our knowledge and sources of societal stabilization are embedded in the communities most vulnerable to natural disaster?
That's the sound of changing configuration from descent to landing. Involves increasing power to the engines which is the main source of the sound involved.

Properly executed landing in airliner doesn't use airbrakes until touchdown (where they are used among other things to ensure airplane doesn't accidently lift from runway and are triggered by pressure sensors on main gear).

To quote a certain pilot's response to ATC: "Air brakes are for when I fuckup, not for your fuckups"
Didn't say it was. Do you think I'm putting words in your mouth? Or that perhaps I missed some subtle tone?

What's there for you to be baffled about?
Everybody sure can find something to handwring over when it comes to climate change. We fucked the environment pretty good and we’ve barely begun to feel the effects.

Let’s just fly around really fast and enjoy it for the next century or os.
There is a correspondence between words and reality. When you explain something you do it with words and then you must define those words.

Once you understand some "model" it does not matter what are the words you gave to the components of the whole and the relations between them. You would create such a model out of colored wires. You could attach a note to each wire giving it a name. But the name does not really matter, the connections between the wires are an accurate presentation of reality. Once you have such a wire-model you can throw out the words.

> It's an introductory class to various techniques used in algorithm design and analysis

I feel like you're being a bit too pedantic here, because I don't really see how "learning various techniques used in algorithm design and analysis" doesn't somehow fall under the umbrella of "learning how to come up with efficient solutions to various problems"; an algorithm is certainly a solution to a certain type of problem, and efficiency is certainly a property that would be investigated as part of "algorithm analysis". Every single problem on our numerous homework sets and every question on every exam we had required us to design and then analyze our own algorithm for solving a problem presented to us, so it seems kind of silly to claim that we weren't supposed to be learning how to solve those problems, given that it's literally what they graded us on.

My best guess is that you objected to my characterization because you read it as a "why" rather than a "what". Whether the course was intended to teach us real-world skills or just try to teach the prerequisites needed for a career in algorithmic research doesn't really change the point I was trying to make, which was a potential answer to the question posed by the article, "Why take a compiler course?".
> If that means your startup idea no longer scales - good riddance.

And if that means no startup can possibly compete against the existing players in the industry that have the bandwidth and resources to implement the regulation?
> The faster the plane goes, the more fuel it consumes due to the drag increase by the square of the speed. In a world where fossil fuel is needed to fly airplanes and where oil is causing a destruction of the world we inhabit, it's dangerous to suggest we should make the flying industry polluting more than they already are.

Just tax fuel to price in the externality and let people decide how much they want to spend?

> Flying faster than mach-1 to save time will be reserved to a small elite. How does it benefit the masses?

The elite are also people.
It’s unfortunate for anyone to lose such a sum of money. It’s a precautionary tale. Hearing these types of stories, if I were in a situation where I held a lot of equity in one stock, I might purchase put options to hedge my risk.
I think its both. Per OP, the process of producing their art no longer takes weeks when using AI, therefore, less people will be needed.
Cynically? Because people understand shoplifting more, and the media can blame it on the poor/homeless and use it as fuel to increase police budgets. Wage theft is also in the same order of magnitude (the infographic on Wikipedia says >$19 billion in 2012), and similarly doesn't get the same kind of coverage. Capital and the police scratch each other's backs.
Now I feel old.
First, you are thinking about the airlines that exist today, rather than the businesses that would exist under the new regulations. If it's more tax efficient to operate the hypothetical supersonic business jets under a multi-industry conglomerate, that may well be what's going to happen.

Second, international refueling has historically been the main reason why jet fuel cannot be taxed properly. In many European countries, gas has long been much more expensive than jet fuel. If you try taxing jet fuel without coordinating the tax scheme with nearby countries, the end result is increased emissions. Planes will refuel under a more favorable tax regime, fly with a heavier fuel load, and maybe even trade some payload for fuel. Airlines may also route their flights suboptimally to take better advantage of cheaper fuel.

Third, if you want to tax climate impact, it's not enough to tax fuel. You have to collect data on where the fuel is actually used and build new systems for ensuring that the reported data is correct. And then you need a model for calculating taxes from the data, which is going to be a politically contested issue. Especially when the model is changed according to the latest scientific understanding.
5 people died in j6, at least 72 during the 2020 riots.

Which has more media coverage and more prosecutions?
Well, here’s their definition of such a company (from the same link):

155 (9) "Social media company" means a person or entity that:
156 (a) provides a social media platform that has at least 5,000,000 account holders
157 worldwide; and
158 (b) is an interactive computer service.

So, size is really the only relevant discriminator.

Well gee, to actually estimate that you'd need a medical expert to review the claims.
The Democrats have their own flaws certainly, but I’m having such a hard time finding a consistent ideology among conservatives. Free speech absolutism, mixed with parent choice, no choice for women, censorship for some kinds of speech, anti-regulation limited government but strong regulation of tech products. I just can’t square any of this.
I would love it if you would state what you think the viewpoint opposite yours is and then try to defend it, then explain why that defense is wrong.

> legislates away industries because you don't want to handle the parenting yourself.

What are your thoughts on pharmaceutical/heroin legislation? What are your thoughts on making it illegal to advertise unhealthy food to kids? How do you feel about the idea of product placement in children's TV shows? How do you feel about letting pharmaceutical companies directly market to children?

You look at parenting as black and white. Good parents would prevent their kids from doing bad things. Bad parents can't prevent their kids from doing bad things. "If a kid does something bad then it is because they have bad parents."

The reality is that parents are just one element of the childs environment and that their choice to do bad things can be fit to a bell curve based on the complete set of environmental factors for which parenting is one element.

Holding parenting ability constant, the government could make changes that would improve outcomes for some set of children.

It always seems like VCs. They did great and started growing a lot. More VCs jumped into the next possible “unicorn” and they had even more money. They had to do stuff with it.

But they weren’t paying back fast enough, and K8s was making waves. Better make money fast while you can. Time for the squeeze play so the VCs can win.

If they had been allowed to grow at a more natural rate maybe it would all be fine. If they were allowed to be happy with a 40% share of a big future market, things could be great.

But that’s not the VC-shoot-for-the-moon way.
> The only thing he managed to do was to convince people that scots isn’t a real language.

I would say rather that the fact that Scottish people did not stand up a substantial Scots Wikipedia until this story blew up indicates that it recently became important that Scots is definitely a real language.

Not only the automation is a problem. Cigna is the only one that knows the rule set.

The myth of Concorde's inefficiency is pervasive, but Concorde was reasonably fuel efficient and generally brought a lot of income at least to British Airways. It's engines were efficient enough that it supercruised at Ma 2.0, something only matched by few models of Tu-144 (there were multiple with different engines, not all of them supercruising), combined with high altitude it could use many efficiencies not available to other airliners.

Ultimately it was maintenance issues (which in turn were caused by corporate political fights) and 9/11 (which required expensive modifications) that killed Concorde, not fuel costs - all combined with BA finding out that they could well enough replace the super-profitable Concorde routes with other aircraft and still make a bank even if individual tickets had to be made cheaper.

Even early Wittgenstein was never a positivist. One of the reasons he quit philosophy for so long was his frustration at that interpretation of works (see some of the interactions between him and Russell for example). What you are describing is exactly the opposite of what he was trying to say. If you're interested in another (much better) take on him, look into "the resolute reading", especially Cora Diamond and James Conant.

The lead editor of the SEP is a big Frege guy, and unfortunately, the site is extremely biased on anything tangentially related to Frege, and unfortunately this is one of those areas.
Thank you! Indeed, it’s still a fair amount of back and forth, and would have probably been even more frustrating if I didn’t know anything at all about HTML/CSS/JS. I think it’s been pointed out in other contexts that the AI tools can be substantial boost on top of some elementary code literacy, but it will still involve effort (both on the prompt engineering as well as verification and subsequent nudging).

All that said, the experience still felt empowering… in particular, I am not sure that I’d be able to pull this off on my own in a comparable — or even, say, double — the amount of time. So that’s a win overall, I suppose!

Also glad you found the logs useful. Thanks again for taking a look :)

What went bad is a little thing called trust. From the community.

Probably, especially from those who think in the long term. Like those who builds things for themselves. They don't like to read news from Docker every day and keep in mind that their project images and even base images can just disappear overnight. It's too expensive for them to track docker decisions. It just takes resoures.

Making bad decisions is not bad at all. Losing trust is.

Absolutely zero chance, SO was the only resource on the internet that had simple enough explanations for me when I started out programming at 11.

I agree, and along that same logic we should also be extremely concerned about what the local libraries are up to.
I don't like this explanation. It's putting him in a box that doesn't fit. Wittgenstein tested the boundaries of logic, and certainly didn't cheerlead for it.

His thoughts on group classification are the most crisp refutation of classic logic I've ever heard, far better than Godel. Godel worked inside the system, Wittgenstein challenged it from the outside.
You grow WAY faster with a free product. There is no downside for people trying it out.

Get a ton of users then try to monetize later is a very common SV play for VC backed companies.
From other comments, it seems the definition is not "what you assume is a social media app" but "any service with over 5 million users that facilitates chat via posts". I am 99% certain this includes Hacker News, Steam, probably also bugs.chromium.org and bugzilla.mozilla.org, and maybe even any website that allows user comments if they happen to have over 5 million users.
I have to say these time zone files are fascinating. Any place/time when a jurisdiction has changed the definition of time is in those files, along with a detailed history of why.

Example, California had an energy crisis soon after WWII, and changed when day light savings started/ended. There are time zone rules that track this history exactly, including a note about how clocks lost 6 minutes a day because PG&E changed AC from 60 to 59.5 Hz:

I think generally the market for productive apps not geared towards enterprise has moved towards free (to try/start anyway) as the baseline assumption, with either an explicit pricing link or recognizable subscription implications (edit: or obvious app store links, natch).

That was the first thing I thought of, personally. The internet is how I came to learn what transgender identity was in the thick of the Bush era, when you could not talk about these things with anyone in person. In many parts of the country, that hasn't changed since then, or it's even gotten worse. The internet helped me put into context a lot of things I simply couldn't talk about with mom and dad, or even god forbid, let them find out it was something I even wanted to talk about.

This wasn't mentioned in the debate over the bill (only it being marketed as some "common sense" bipartisan initiative), but I strongly suspect it benefited from the culture war over queer kids, and they will be disproportionately harmed by this.

One thing worth mentioning is that it only affects platforms with >5M users, and many of the resources I used back then were garage-run websites with much fewer users. I'm kind of mixed on this because I do believe major platforms are better equipped to handle abuse reports than rinky-dink forums. But on the flip side, said rinky-dink forums weren't constantly manipulating you for attention.
I'm sure our parents would have all let us sign up for a programming site. This bill still allows for that.
