according to the document, there were more than twice as many homicides as suicides, and other causes (including accidents) were vanishingly few.
I figured firearms and ODing would be on the rise, but suffocation surprised me. It's still low, but also one of the few that's trending upward. What could be the cause of that?
Government salaries are not comparable at all.

Government staff in india get ton of perks - cheap housing , very good pensions, healthcare for life and so on .

There is no easy way to cost this, that mission headline number is probably only the incremental mission specific expenses that got budgeted not the actual costs which are far higher if done via contractors (nasa) or private initiative (spaceX)
American healthcare is excellent at keeping people alive that would probably have died under other healthcare systems. That is, it extends the long tail out, with rapidly increasing marginal costs (in a "money is no object" situation). This is why a lot of people who could afford to go anywhere and obtain any medical treatment they want often come to the US for it.

It's not so good at keeping regular people healthy so that they don't need expensive care to begin with; though I'm not sure if this can be blamed on the "healthcare system" per se, versus cultural or educational factors. The average American is quite unhealthy.

It's quite bad at delivering routine care at reasonable prices. Get in a car wreck and break your leg? Want to deliver a baby at a hospital? It will get done at high standards and short wait times, but the bill if you're uninsured or underinsured will be eye-watering. This is a result of broken incentive systems surrounding healthcare in America, and probably deserves a lot of policy attention.

the FBI has a very thorough crime database, I am sure you can make a public request

afaik school shootings are a tiny fraction of youth gun homicides

similarly, "assault rifles" represent a tiny fraction of all gun homicides
I believe a framework gives you consistency and can be used to predict or understand the weighted probability of a human's decisions.

We want to believe we are all unique individuals. To the Nth DNA strand, we are & to our localized "social circle", we are. But in groups of 100, we are not. Society and individuals group themselves to a set of dominant behaviors & social norms - those are what MBTI looks to group.
How is "charge for checkmark" different from "charge for advertising"?

Whether the rates are `"outlandish" and "meaningless."` remains to be seen ... but $1k/mo is probably less than is being spent on advertising by all but the smallest companies

If you want longer tweets, get the checkmark

If you want 'normal' tweets, don't

But complaining that a platform that basically let you advertise 'for free' now wants you to pay for advertising seems far more "outlandish and meaningless" to me
One of my deepest fantasies is that from a case like this some court rules that using DRM prevents you from claiming copyright protection. I know it will never happen, but let me fantasize, please.
I mean yes, you technically put them on separate axes, but there was a ton of implication in your comment about an either/or mentality and that one is superior to the other. Just wanted to provide a soft push back there and provide a little context for why. I get what you’re saying though!
Firearms are designed to kill, lethality is kind of the point. A 9mm does literally every single thing they describe as being part of this "blast effect" (which is not a term in ballistics), and so does pretty much every other cartridge.

Well, except for the things that no bullet does:

> News accounts rely on antiseptic descriptions from law enforcement officials and medical examiners who, in some cases, have said remains were so unrecognizable that they could be identified only through DNA samples.

Color me skeptical. I've been up close and personal with bodies shot multiple times by 5.56mm, .50 BMG, and some things in between. In no case were the remains identifiable "only through DNA samples" or remotely close to that state. Nobody is disputing that an AR-15 kills. What's the point (other than propaganda) of pretending that it also turns a person into beef stew?

Yes, guns are for killing. Do you want your government to be the only entity that has them? Yes? Now imagine it's a terrible authoritarian government, because someday it will be.

Car were safer and safer, ABS and stuff helped, Also the whole world started doing crash tests to help protect the drivers and passengers.

Note that the trend continued past 2014 in Europe (stabilizing now). Two differences:

- Less SUVs/light truck on the road in Europe (it's changing)

- crash tests in Europe test small cars against SUVs, SUVs against trucks... All different combinations. If your utility vehicle / SUV doesn't perform well on those crash tests, you can't sell it (hence no F-150).
Monopolies probably aren't the right angle to approach this from. A corporation can be "too large" without being a monopoly, though in the past that was their primary route to getting to that size. Perhaps it would be better to simply have a law that any company whose average market cap during a two year period exceeds 1% of the country's GDP is automatically broken up. Such a law might not even need to be used, as companies wanting to avoid a government lead break up would on their own either start spinning off parts of the company or paying dividends to shareholders to shed value from the company. Shareholders could then use those dividends to invest elsewhere or use it for spending in the economy. Buying up competitors or merging with them would also be tempered at the higher levels since it would risk creating an entity that gets broken up by the government.

I'm sure the companies with the potential to be broken up by such a law would be very much against it and spend whatever it took to defeat the law. They might also try to convince the public that they have to be allowed to be gigantic in order to compete with similar entities from other countries that don't have a limit on size.

I wouldn't word it as harshly as "remoting into customers devices" simply because we are used to auto updates, The publisher updated the title on the store, kindles then downloaded the updated title.

If an app dev did the same, completely rework their app into a completely new product and allow auto update replace the app installed on users devices, would you lay the blame on Google/Apple or on the publisher?

IMO its not a black and white case and I would say neither party are completely in the clear, more an assignment of blame, but I would put more blame on the publisher than on Amazon, but that doesn't mean Amazon are in the clear either. Amazon should have either a) required the publisher to issue the new book under a new ASIN b) give the owner of the book the ability to choose which revision they would like to read.
This is a very niche and very specific workflow you have. Spotify is the only thing that can do what you want as far as I know.

Ironically Apple used to offer a product to do this more than a decade ago, the Apple Airport Express. It's a wifi access point with a line out. You can still pick one up for ~$20 on eBay and I believe it will still work with Apple music as a target device.
Firearms, motor vehicles, and overdose all jumped large % amounts from 2019 to 2020. One has to wonder how much of this is mental-health related, given that 2020 had a, uh, significant impact on many people's mental health.

I've gotten a LOT of these, either your data was sold or compromised. Easy to spot where the data came from because they are sent to masked email addresses (notice they sent it to your `+ifit` address) which makes me think iFit was compromised (not Gmail).

Change your password and email for iFit, poison your data (put in fake names/info if you can). Search your email at the haveibeenpwned website and it will return any data leaks it was a part of.

I don't do much python anymore but recently, I decided to try moving from Makefile files to simple command-line python scripts for this type of thing. The python standard library has pretty much everything you need to replace `make` so there's no need for virtual environments and...
1. They're way more readable and intuitive
2. Cross-platform across Linux, Windows, MacOS, even if you have to branch off to platform-specific commands inside the script
3. I'd much rather maintain commands using the python standard library over complex command-line things with `sed`, `awk`, etc

I saw a post on here recently talking about how they got Paypal into court. I'll have to try and find it again.

It makes more sense to me that money should have intrinsic value in and of itself rather than exist as some nebulous digit in a computer that represents nothing but a unit of debt, which is easily and inevitably abused by those with the power to create it from thin air. I don't know if precious metals are the best answer, but money as a commodity makes more sense to me than money as an infinitely dupe-able fiat token with no intrinsic value

The technology never should have existed in the first place. Adding to it is still adding additional harm.
Salaries doubled in 3 years for certain IT professions pushed by the Covid online spike I assume. In my company we were hiring and we kept getting candidates with less and less experience asking for more and more money. IT salaries went up faster than inflation, at least in some European countries. I think now these layoffs are necessary for companies to bring average cost of IT employees back to normal. I did not go along with the demanding salary expectations, I lost business revenue because of it due to lack of people, but now I don't have to do any correction. Basically, we are all adults in the end, employers and employees, I think everybody knew the tech salary situation was not sustainable and some kept pushing up, some stayed more conservative.

The US direct transfer system is supposed to launch later this year. If it works out, it is going to absolutely crush PayPal, and Roundrect Cash or whatever they call themselves these days. I can’t wait.
You have a lot of time though, it's just that it gets harder to reverse.

Netflix' fraud detection is garbage and someone created an account with random letters, some throwaway email and my bank account. I didn't notice until it was like three months in. For the two later transactions, I could reverse them immediately and the money was back in my account on the next business day.

The other one was outside of that window, but my bank filed a request with their bank and it took forever, but eventually they paid it back. I believe this works for something like 13 months. Beyond that, you could still sue the person (and their bank) who fraudulently debited money out of your account, but you don't get a default win.

So at least in Germany you have about a year to notice.
Think about it this way. You can find new methods to measure fluid imbalance in your body. Or you can create better statistical models to more accurately assess the weigh each planetary body has on you horoscope, or you pinpoint which negative ions has positive health benefits. It doesn’t mean anything about whether or not these effects are real, just that you measured your non-effects more accurately.

Personality psychology is there. They have been creating better measurements for over 50 years now, but they are still failing to demonstrate that personality effects in the real world are nothing more then something they believe exists.
Victor here, thanks for the kind words. Regarding issue #60;

Short answer: this is true, but isn't a fundamental limitation and will be addressed in the future.

Long answer: this was quite a surprise to me back then, as it defies my understanding of "optimal", and was quite disappointing, but I learned a lot since. My current take is that, yes, some terms are quadratic on HVM while they are linear on the GHC, but that isn't due to some "catastrophic incompatibility", but just an inherent limitation of sharing-by-lazy-duplication. That said, as a practical runtime, HVM is not restricted to have only one way to share data. Rust, for example, has several ways: `&`, `&mut`, `Box`, `Rc`, `Arc`, `Cell`, `RefCell`, `Mutex`, `RwLock`, `* const T`, `*mut T`. We will add alternative pointer types to address this issue. That said, first we want to get the pure version completely polished, before moving into these optimizations. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that it is easy to fix these quadratic functions by adding strategic lambdas to avoid unnecessary cloning. This will make them linear again, so a functional language compiling to HVM properly wouldn't have any case where it underperforms GHC asymptotically (and would have several cases where it outperforms it!).

> I think most people do this by instinct, and have self-made buckets for people. It's really error-prone and not very accurate, and ends up leading to a lot of prejudice.

I agree with you. I noticed I held myself and others to a very high standard, and could not understand why (to me) their irrational decisions didn't let them meet my standards. Studying MBTI for me, helped give me some rational way to understand the proclivities and possible thinking of another to help me understand how people have different strengths/weaknesses and life journies.
>technology is supposed to help its users

Now that's a huge misconception.

It isn't in technology's nature to take sides, and it's also not regulated to do that, and neither do technologists have a universal moral stance that would support that.

So in the end, technology serves whomever happens to control it, and circling back to notifications, currently service providers seem to have the biggest say in how many notifications go around.

and while Seamonkey and K-meleon work properly, they aren't usable with Discourse, which is a big part of what I need to do on the web.

If backwards compatibility is so great, why can't I select text as I've been accustomed to since Go Corp. PenPoint and Windows for Pen Computing? It's not even good UI from a discoverability standpoint --- I handed a stylus and my Samsung Galaxy Book 12 running Windows build 1703 to a tech at Best Buy and asked them to select text and they were successful, but when prompted to select text on a similar system running Windows 11 they were stymied.

>bring technically inclined is not what makes you good at photography

I think you would be hard-pressed to find anybody who asserts that is the primary skill/inclination needed to be a good photographer, but as I said, in another comment, I wouldn’t necessarily frame being technical as useless or particularly secondary. It is as integral as “having an eye,” which frankly is just another way of saying somebody understands the technical aspects of how to frame a photo, even if they don’t know how to articulate it (which they will eventually have to if they actually want to be good at photography). Even affordable prosumer digital cameras require some technical proficiency if you want to get the best results out of them.

> but crypto still has only one valid use case and that is for criminal activities.

Many years ago, I used bitcoin to pay for web and e-mail hosting. Heck, there were several pubs in town offering the option to pay with crypto. I was paid for remote freelance web development work using bitcoin several times, none of it criminal (one example: a car dealership sales portal customization). All of that was above board, reported to government, taxes paid, etc.

Providers moved away from it because of sentiments like this becoming prevailing (lots of people used it for illicit activities of course) which is a shame.

Public sentiment has nothing to do with what the tech can actually be used for.

That said, the environment impact caused is the larger concern to have IMO.
There’s also apps like Cooking Fever (the original is a great game to play with kids)

The latest version tacks on so many ads and “free to play” IAPs that it’s an entirely different game (and tbh one that’s no longer usable). It’s good enough and holds enough nostalgia for me that I would pay $2-5/yr to keep it clean but that’s not an option any more.

Thankfully I have been keeping backups over the years (iMazing) and so I was able to spend some time going through old versions to find a good one, but that is only a solution if you’re planning ahead or if you have a time machine.
