> If a "developed" country wanted to stop migration they would work to raise the living standards at the source.

Biden at least nominally adopted such as policy. See, for example, "U.S. Strategy for Addressing the Root Causes of Migration in Central America", https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Root-C...

But, AFAICT, it's mostly been a quiet public-private approach that in dollar terms isn't very substantial. See, e.g., https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases...

If you look at Haiti, Venezuela, etc, it seems the limiting factor here is an unwillingness of the U.S. to leverage any political muscle, either domestically or internationally. I presume that's partly a consequence of Iraq and Afghanistan, but also probably because for some large factions, especially on the left but increasingly on the right, in American politics any form of involvement is unacceptable. It's almost like a radical ecological argument: the rest of the world is in a state of nature, and any intervention by an external agency is per se morally evil; the moral imperative is non-intervention, outcomes are irrelevant. Even those who don't hold this belief (explicitly or implicitly) at least understand the consequences: any perceived failure in intervention will be blamed on them, and nobody wants to face the ire of the religionists.

One way to know yourself, as a software engineer, is to write your own software. If you believe yourself to be awesome prove how awesome you are by showing people something awesome you have written.

Perhaps the most clear indication of Dunning-Kruger is when talking about performance. Everybody thinks the software they write is super duper fast, but few people actually measure things with numbers. When I hear people talk about fast the very thing to pop into my mind is: How fast?

> those lawsuits would seem to spell out that denial of life-affirming care that sufferers of ADHD, a federally recognized disability, have experienced could give them legal standing to sue doctors over.

As a person with adhd, why would i want to sue my provider? They have nothing to do with why there's been an adderall shortage since october. it seems to me the last thing I want to do is make providers feel averse to treating adhd out of concern for being sued.

It is different with LLMs. Most people can give a level of uncertainty along with an answer, and often do. LLMs can't, and worse, are trained to put an emphasis on the prompts. Humans are often trained to be skeptical of prompts.

If I said, "the moon is made of cheese. What type of cheese do you think it is?" most humans would automatically object, but with LLMs you can usually craft a prompt that would get it to answer such a silly question.
Further to your point - South Korea built 4 reactors for the UAE at the Barakah site. Took 11 years from deal to first grid connection and cost $25 billion for 5.3 GW of nameplate capacity.
It's expected to cost another $20 billion for operation, maintenance and fuel

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barakah_nuclear_power_plant supply.

Contrast that to the Al Dhafra PV project also in the UAE - $1 billion for 2 GW of nameplate capacity. One can apply whatever discount is wanted to account for solar's shortcomings and it still comes out ahead when planning an energy generation portfolio. Further away from the equator a similar case can be made for wind.

The Barakah reactors will be generating 5.3 GWh from 6 pm to 8am which of course solar can't do. In that time it will deliver 14 hours X 5.3 GW ~= 75 GWh of electricity.

Capital costs for 4 hour utility scale lithium storage are expected to be $250 million per GWh by 2025.
https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy21osti/79236.pdf

75 GWh x $250 million = ~$19 billion to get those gigawatt hours from storage.

The nameplate capacity of the solar plant to generate 75 GWh for night time use in the hours from 8 am to 6pm is 7.5 GW. To prove my point let's double that to 15 GW.

The cost of that 15 GW solar plant, based on the Al Dhafra PV plant would be $7.5 billion. Another 5 GW solar plant to deliver the same day time GWh that the reactors do...let's double that to 10 GW so another $5 billion.

So my back of the napkin calculations say that the cost to replace the Barakah reactors with solar + storage are:
- $19 billion for Li-ion storage
- $7.5 billion for a solar plant to charge that storage for nighttime use.
- $5 billion for a solar plant to deliver (more than) equivalent daytime use.

$31.5 billion in total. Very much competitive with the nuclear option taking into account a) time to completion / general project risk b) the falling cost of storage plus the development of new options like sodium ion storage
c) radioactive waste risks, solvable as they are
d) security concerns - Houthi rebels fired a few missiles at the Barakah site a while back.
e) construction and operational workforce skill requirements

Pharma companies decided to sell a drug that doesn’t work so they wouldn’t lose sales from pseudoephedrine going behind the counter. They could have simply chosen not to, alas. Also, that switch was required by law. It wasn’t at FDA’s discretion.

> The best state of affairs for society is a dating app with high new user signups and high churn as people go off to raise children. Tinder wants lots of people to stay and never leave. So, to compete with Tinder and to drive similar levels of shareholder return, you would need to structure a company such that it captures the value of the relationships it facilitates. Perhaps that is the pairing of a dating app with a vertically integrated marriage organization marketplace like The Knot. Maybe it is an app where you integrate date planning, so you capture the value from dates 2, 3, and 4. In some cultures, matchmakers who pair up couples earn fees only once the couple enters into a relationship. I don’t know exactly what this app will look like, but that’s the point! Someone needs to go invent it.

I think an incentive aligned AI powered dating app could easily be a billion dollar company.

The real answer (IMO) is that ADHD is both under-diagnosed and over-diagnosed. I know many people who would benefit from a ADHD diagnosis, but aren't diagnosed yet, and just kind of struggle through as best as they can. On the flip side, it's also somewhat common for people to be diagnosed incorrectly (either due an over eager doctor, or because they sought out the diagnosis to get the drug).

So really, it's a question of improving accuracy overall, not just "let's make things stricter" (which would make it even harder from those are not diagnosed yet).

(I know you mentioned prescribing, not diagnosing, but I think it's a broader issue beyond just the drug).
If privacy is a big concern you could try using an encrypted disk image/folder inside Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud Drive, or similar. Then put your data inside that.

That is probably less overall headache than self-hosting just about anything. It gives you the sync reliability of something like Dropbox while securing your data so they can't see it.

If you are using Macs then an encrypted disk image is secure and free. But it isn't supported on iOS or Android or any OS that's not macOS.

There's also third-party tools like Cryptomator or Boxcryptor that will do the encryption. If you need broader platform support check them out.

Good luck!
#1 doesn't wash with me at all. You've picked a variety of niche non-gasoline fuels to compare again, but that's far from the point. The point is we generally have a very strongly calibrated sense of what the MPG of a car has, and this number is for gasoline, not gasoline + X nor gasoline + Y, nor diesel, nor lng, nor jet fuel. These are different. What people actually know to compare their vehicles against is gasoline, and that's what we use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_gallon_equivalent

With systems like diesel, it's also very apparent at the pump that the fuel costs a lot more. That diesel has 15% more energy-density is more than made up for in terms of price at the pump. And it's also a bit obvious based on the just-higher mpg that diesel vehicles have.

You're not wrong about #2, but I'm only going to give you the point if you can convince the EPA & every car manufacturer on the planet to also flip the fraction for gas vehicles too. Otherwise the advantage of speaking the common language makes it clear, and the advantage of dumbing-it-down-for-folk doesn't have enough benefit.

There's also a ton of similar problems, but we don't rewrite all our nomenclature to accomodate stupid: we let people live with the basic facts and figure it out. The difference between going 25mph and 35mph versus between 55 mph and 65 mph is far more pronounced in terms of time saved, but we still use mph or kph and haven't flipped that. Trying to attack this problem in only electric car space, only for range, while leaving everything else (like velocity) flipped: it hides & conceals to more detriment than whatever gains we make by trying to flip the fraction.

Also I think the standard kWh/100km unit is just bizarre & cruel use of metric. Way to take a sensible straightforward metric system & contort bizarrely to make even numbers. Screw this. 180kWh/1MM would be fine. Or .18kWh/km. Or 180Wh/km. But 18kWh/100km? Its such a weird contortion, mal-adjusting standard prefixes to get a useful number; it's just so ugly to me. I acknowledge that it has practical value, but it feels like such a betrayal of metric to pick "100 kWh" as your unit value.
> you can’t tell your customers “it’s the browser’s fault!”

Indeed you can’t! Which is the core of my argument for why we also need to be able to properly UA-sniff browser versions. If browsers aren’t holding up their end of the stability bargain, they need to give us a way to version-detect and handle the problem on our end.

Right now what’s pissing me off about Safari is that with their left hand they’re delivering buggy implementations of standardized features and with their right hand they’re cutting off our ability to detect which version of their browser we’re running in (and soon, no doubt, whether we’re running in Safari at all).
> It's almost like a leftist ecological argument: the rest of the world is in a state of nature, and any intervention by an external agency is per se morally evil.

The USA will get flack if it meddles and if it doesn't meddle, they really shouldn't worry about world opinion at that point. More to the point, it is impossible for America to fix the rest of the world, even if that were the moral thing to do. Welcoming some immigrants from countries having problems is probably the best we can do.

As of 2020, South Korea generated 29% of electricity from nuclear, while solar and wind together amounted to 4%:

https://ember-climate.org/app/uploads/2022/02/Global-Electri...

I'd gladly take expensive nuclear power that exists over non-existing cheap renewables. (Of course, renewables are great, I'm totally rooting for them. I just wish that they are actually, you know, available, instead of being only theoretically available and being used as a rhetorical device against nuclear power.)

Also you omitted some relevant details on South Korean politics: the previous president Moon (2017-2022) and his party was staunchly anti-nuclear and tried hard to phase it out, for the sake of the "environment." Which predictably resulted in continued usage of fossil fuels, which these idiots see as a lesser evil.

(Sadly, his successor, the sitting president Yoon, is a raging buffoon. I mean, he muttered "Wouldn't it be fucking embarrassing for Biden" in front of reporters, what more do you want. Being pro-nuclear is probably the only positive thing I can say of him, but I'm not really counting on that - Yoon being such an idiot, there's a very good chance his policies would be put in reverse by whoever succeeds him.)
I think OPs summary is a bit inaccurate. Regular working out is not the issue in my understand. When you start working out after a long break, some of the AST ALT stored in your skeletal muscles gets released as the muscles undergo some breakdown, and this is most common with weight training, not cardio. This is what elevates the bloodstream levels. Once you have worked out for a few weeks it stabilizes to regular levels.

So don't get your liver enzymes tested just a week after starting to do weight training.

> This reads as if the general population doesn't work out

Regardless of the liver enzyme detail, this isn't too far from the truth. And even those who work out usually do cardio, not weight training.
Containers being out of ISO 668 and weak was a risk that worried me for some time, but it turns out this is a risk for existing owner-operators too! Containers are inspected pretty regularly to make sure they're OK, or so our customers keep assuring me.

With that said, I'd really like to have some sort of load path-sensing autonomy onboard, like strain gauges in the corner posts of our sail which detect an incorrectly fastened or out-of-spec container before the other corners fail. Should be pretty detectably nonlinear if one twistlock isn't installed right and one corner post isn't transmitting any load.
Stop taking it.

I’ve been diagnosed three times. At ages 6 , 18, and 23. Taking every drug. Adderall, vyvance, strattera, etc.

The diagnosing is hogwash. There isn’t a scientific test. All ‘psychiatrists’ do is take you in for a visit or two, listen to your story, and write you the prescription.

I used to be ‘unable to focus’, and took pills for it. I even see people addicted to them to the point they take sleeping medication and other pills to make up for those side effects. No thanks!

These are intense drugs, and not the good kind like DMT, LSD, or Marijuana. Which those, actually had a profound effect on me and my way of thinking. For example, weed makes me productive - and makes otherwise shit work - amazing.

Another thing is eating healthy, organic foods, vegetables, and pasture raised meats, along with exercise. These do wonders for your state of mind. Organic foods (and pasture raised meats, eggs, dairy) have up to 200x the nutrient levels compared to non-organic.

Lastly, self discipline. I had to learn to master my mind and truly discipline myself for my actions. And to make the effort to constantly ‘make it happen’, no matter what. It’s a set of values instilled and the courage to back up your own values when no one else is to judge you but your own mind. Don’t let you mind off the hook for so many things - “oh I didn’t make the bed…it’s fine” no, it’s not fine.
The key point of the article here is that this is no longer strict syntactic sugar in C++ as of C++17. The addition operator, like many operators and all function calls, does not specify the order that its arguments are evaluated. In C, and in C++ prior to C++14, neither did the indexing operator; but as of C++17, the order is fully defined (`a` first in `a[i]`).
I think the author adequately and correctly focused on the framing from feedly being an important signal about how they themselves expect it to be used. The repeated implication that protests are dangerous or violent, the assumption that their customers would view protests primarily as a risk to their assets: revealing!

This could have been framed as a way to find nearby protests and labor actions to participate in, for example. I point that out not to say that they should or that it would be better, but to make clear this is a choice they made based on their understanding of their customers and how they would find value in the tool, not an inherently neutral or objective or inevitable framing of the tool.

I think the author is right to be unsettled by it and expressed the core concern clearly. It's not necessary to carefully enumerate every precise threat that it could play a role in. In fact it may even be counterproductive, on the internet, where being precise just exposes more surface for hobbyist contrarian nitpickers to latch on to.

No technology is neutral and the expected use of this one is concerning, especially considering the admitted lack of consideration they put into it. At the very least no engineer should ever participate in a project without sitting down and thinking "what's the worst thing a malicious actor could do with this" and that clearly didn't happen here.
