This is some 19th century othering.

By your definition every group that is subject to different constraints than you has a pathology.

People who cannot afford everything they need (even once in a great while, or intermittently) sometimes have to make a choice you don’t: their credit score or keeping their housing, or their credit score or keeping a job, or their credit score or eating.

This makes them an increased risk systemically. However representationally they do not have the ability to pull themselves out of poverty because there will be poverty in the system we presently exist in. So if they pull themselves out, someone else slides in, and the systemic risk is the same, and in that context the credit rating is a largely worthless lagging indicator that says “This person at one point in recent history could not afford the commitments they made. We have no idea why, or what those commitment were, or even whether they were the result of financial practices that are now illegal.”

What is happening is the world waking up slowly to the idea that a good credit rating is in part a privilege, and not any reflection necessarily of a persons’ ability or willingness to pay for housing.

According to the description of this NASA image [1], they flew a 7-million-cubic-feet super-pressure balloon in 2009. Approximating as a perfect sphere, that's around 120 feet in radius / 80 yards in diameter. And "When development ends, NASA will have a 22 million-cubic-foot balloon", which is around 170 feet in radius / 110 yards in diameter. These things also look squashed when inflated [2], so they're probably even wider horizontally. Basically, you can fit an entire football field inside along with some stands.

Youtube's system is extremely heavy handed. You can sometimes notice your comments getting shadowbanned if you see the same comment from another account/computer. And I think you can notice it for other people when you get a reply notification, and can even read the comment, but it doesn't show in the comments if you open the list of comments in notifications ?

(Posting multiple comments for the same video seems to be an easy way to get them (shadow)banned. Even more posting links, even when it's literally a timelink to the same video using the mm:so format !)
> Another great thing about YouTube not mentioned is the quality of comments. Something happened in the last 5 years or so that changed them profoundly.

It's not uncommon to get spam from bots trying to impersonate the video creator (same username, same avatar) and trying to push crypto scams everytime one answers a comment. Youtube hardly does anything about it.

On the flip side, the federal government is still prosecuting people for distributing cannabis, albeit at a decreasing rate: https://www.marijuanamoment.net/federal-marijuana-arrests-co...

Responding even though I know it’s not going to be fruitful.

The way I came to that conclusion is I read what you wrote, which primarily discusses the language, not the idea. See your references to “doublespeak”, “framing”, “headlines”, and “the word sideloading”.

You claimed “Installing applications on iOS 17 might be allowed in Europe” would be a more accurate headline. It wouldn’t be, because you can install applications via the App Store. If you wanted your headline to be both accurate and to discuss the approval process and fee, you would need to include that, as the original headline does by mentioning “sideloading”, the word that you take issue with but does at least actually raise the issue you’re concerned with.

It's not possible for human beings to write correct code.

The hardest bug I ever found in a C program, one that took cumulative weeks of work until a tractable reproduction was found, came down to a ‘<’ that should have been ‘<=’. No language would have stopped that.

Yes, different languages have different levels of expressiveness, and can preclude or expose different kinds of errors. You'll never have a stray pointer in Python, and you'll never OOM making an accidental copy in C.
The storage market has been revolutionized in the past few years thanks to LFP chemistries, and it's only going to get better soon. There are massive new US production facilities coming online, and Bloomberg is estimating that US cell costs will be $83/kWh, just a few dollars more than Chinese costs. Add in the IRA tax credits, and the cost will be less than $50/kWh. Packs will be more expensive than cells, of course, but the future looks very rosy. Could see that pack at half its current price, even in quantities as small as 50kWh.

Sure. Convince yourself that that an infinitely worse system is an improvement on a system that is already terrible. Either you are entrenched due to sunk cost fallacy, libertarian brain-rot, or you are naive. I hope the lesson you end up learning doesn't cost too much in the end.
Cool story, I disagree, it's legalized here in CA.
Indeed. The most liberal metro areas, like NYC, have many fewer firearm death rates per capita than Republican-leaning areas like Florida and Texas.

Alas, when faced with facts that disagree with their beliefs, most people will immediately get busy finding plausible explanations that would allow them to continue believing the same things without losing face. "Surely there must be something wrong with these figures," they'll think.

It's human nature.
> when I talk about iterating on quality

What does iterating on quality even mean? I challenge you to define this term in a way that is clear and objective. I guess the whole point that I'm trying to make is that "quality" is never well-defined, and thus is basically an arbitrary goalpost used by mediocre engineers to throw a wrench in things and justify their existence.

Well, there is also the separate issue that the feds basically legalized marijuana through a not-thought-out-too-well loophole when they passed the hemp farm bill in 2018.

Hemp and marijuana are the same species, so the 2018 farm bill just defines "hemp" as a cannabis plant with less than 0.3% delta 9 THC by weight. So some enterprising folks decided to take these low-THC hemp plants, extract the THC from them, and put them into gummies. Since the gummies still need to be < 0.3% THC, they are just slightly larger gummies than "normal" marijuana gummies, but they're not gargantuan or anything, and they come in pretty standard 10-20mg per gummy doses.

I live in a state that has hardly any legal marijuana (there is some medical but only for very limited conditions like epilepsy, and it's strictly enforced, unlike in some other states where anyone saying "my back hurts" can get prescription), and you can go into a well lit, clean CBD store in a strip mall on a major street where friendly employees will happily sell you these D9 gummies.

IIRC Florida (ahh, Florida) was trying to close this loophole by limiting the total amount of THC in any single package, but not sure where that went.

I find it humorous that people think this is some sort of deception when it is probably simple tradition. Roman numerals used to be common and are still used in many places like for preface/introduction in many books, is that also some sort of deception? they could certainly used 0-<page number> for that or even a different font if they needed to separate it from the pagination of the text but they use these confusing Roman numerals instead.

I've thought about doing this but never got around to it. I've never noticed any major inefficiencies with doing it the usual way, but I'm also not old enough to be storing 30 years of documents.

On a related note, one minor annoyance I have on Windows is all the old programs that put files that should be in %appdata% in %userprofile%\Documents instead. On Linux, it's all the programs that clutter the home folder with config files instead of using ~/.config . Sometimes you can fix this in the program's settings, but sometimes you can't and you're stuck with what the developers chose.

It's truly disheartening to go back through your favorite creators and liked videos and see how many have been removed for violating new community guidelines or deleted by their creators because they no longer fit a marketable image. If I hadn't already had complete archives of my favorite channels due to an obsession with carrying media on the go, I'd probably have broken down and wept at the devastation of channels like Retsupurae and ChipCheezumSA. I learned that if there's any chance I'll want to watch something again in the future I need it saved to disk.

That is a fairly good point, zo1. Sadly I think that, with generative AI and fake bot accounts, it will become very easy to create all kinds of negative associations and destroy reputations. A thread somewhere deep inside Hacker News won’t rank highly for teaching.app when it launches - but in a year from now, far worse things would be going on (primarily because of generative AI making such attacks cheap).

My entire comment history has been one of discussing in good faith and standing up for what I believe in. You prefer that I back down and agree to something when I can correct the misunderstanding. That’s your prerogative. I see nothing to be ashamed of.

If someone wants to misinterpret what I say or take it out of context, I can’t stop it. Most celebrities cause far worse outrage when they get famous, I am rather careful with my words. I have made a decision for myself long ago that integrity and standing for what you believe in, in good faith, is worth it to me more than attempting to be too political. I could be wrong. We’ll see.
The "agency" that is dominated by the influence of their peers, schooling, and media you allow them to consume as impressionable and innocent individuals.

Normally I'd say let them grow, have their own agency and learn the world in their own eyes with parental supervision. But right now, the media and culture are so highly toxic and degenerate, that I say it's our duty as parents (and humans) to shield them from that, and instilling positive values.

It isn't. It's a pure driver bug with all of these. There's a pending patch to clear the MSI registers on disconnect that I'm planning on driving to testing tomorrow. I hounded them for 4 months by sending full stacks with symbols and they don't have any hardware in the lab (which is very common now, unfortunately)...

If you want to recover, set a ifdown script to `rmmod igc && modprobe igc` and you will never panic or hang, just have a longer interface bounce time. I'm running this on a 6 nic system which is completely egregious, but it hasn't crashed / hung / panic'd in the field since doing that.
There’s a very good chance that that’s at least part of the reason.
The governor who was against legalization said of his not veto: "I came to this decision because I believe we've spent far too much time focused on this issue, when Delawareans face more serious and pressing concerns every day. It’s time to move on."

It sounds like people are realizing it's an old, useless battle to fight against marijuana legalization. Finally.
It's likely far cheaper than buying the electricity from the grid, but it will depend on local commercial electricity rates. Utilities usually have to set up pretty perverse schemes in order for solar to not be an economical choice.
The data are interesting but I’m not sure they support your point:

Yes, and your comment seemed to imply that state between commands in make recipes (and thus use of oneshell) is somehow more important with a python shell than with the default bash shell.

And I'm curious why you say this, as I wouldn't have thought it to necessarily be the case, so I thought perhaps you had some nice insight about the use of python as a make shell that I hadn't considered.

> ...since each state is unique in it people and geography.

This is just so wrong on so many levels it's hard to know what to respond to.

Maybe try going outside, you'll find it's actually completly continuous, there is no species change when crossing state lines 8-)

Even more to the point, typical (media prtrayed) state based differences all have gapping inaccuracies:

- california has more republicans than texas
- texas has more democrats than new york

The division into states is one of the biggest problems facing actual democracy in the us. Coupled with first-past-the-post, and the electoral college, the us is far far from a government that enforces the public will.

And as far as the specific issue of marijuana is concerned, this is such a poster child for how locked into the "leave it to beaver" american dream state of the 1950s the eastern us still is.

The whole: "Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, like the little baby jesus intended" mindset.

Having said that, I actually do agree that the state level is about the only place anything at all can be acomplished. Because the DNC and RNC have both blocked public health care repeatedly, and you're NEVER going to see either of those parties back any policy that disenfranchises their donor class.
Interesting. Apparently some people consider the Armstrong Line [1] (where pressure is low enough that water boils at body temperature, at about 18km) to be the start of "near space". As opposed to "outer space" which starts at the Kármán line at 100km (unless you are in the US, where outer space starts at 50miles/80km instead)

Indeed, you can get by with a little bit of training post high school, but even those jobs are drying up. Notice they are already at the margins of society. Previously high school was a significant achievement. You didn't address the car example.

>Disclaimer: work at cloudflare and this is the first time I’ve heard our business is monitoring users.

You didn't read that at all. You read a claim that cloudflare depends on its ability to monitor individual end users.

That's not actually a nitpick. Given you work at cloudflare can you point me to the part where clouflare state in some legal doc of consequence they do not monitor individual end users? I'd appreciate that.

Have the feds been enforcing anything in states that have not made marijuana legal? It seems that maybe only state level and below authorities are enforcing them.

There are sometimes cases where laws that go unenforced for a long time can eventually become unenforceable. I wonder if this could happen federally to normal marijuana possession. The legal principle is called desuetude.
I've also wondered before if it was somehow related to the trauma of childbirth...not a memory per se, but a trauma imprint. But who knows...
