Not sure it's so simple. Most of the voting population is past the age where this affects them and people (I must admit I fall in that trap quite often) have the mentality that "it was done to me and look how well I turned out, so I'll do it to them". The only way to see if people want it is to give them the choice when the time comes.

> the population has voted

But as you said earlier, it's the same population and elected leaders who let critical systems and services degrade to the point where they would stop working without forcing children to work. Even agreeing this doesn't put the people in a bad light decision-wise, in this position it's no longer a choice but a necessity. Hence my incessant question whether the government's statement that "services will fail without child work" is supported by some study or it's just a scare tactic to get people to vote a certain way.

Yes, democracy is about getting the people's vote of confidence. How you earn that confidence is outside the democratic process and could be as simple as "feed them BS".
I live across the street from a series of tiny homes built for teachers nearly a century ago.
Sigh, that's not always easy with many of the people here with "unlimited PTO" without guaranteed minimums. Most of the unlimited clauses are based on manager approval.

The base HR justification for unlimited PTO is to not have to pay out unused PTO when they leave. Naturally, it sounds good on face, but leads to less PTO taken due to inherent worries of "how much is too much", lack of manager approval, and the like.

I reject companies that force 'unlimited' PTO. I demand a minimum hard number in place on the offer letter. I've turned down places for that reason.

I work in a place that offers 20 days plus all federal holidays. It's a good compromise, but I'd prefer more.
It is rare that something like this gets written with actually correct details, and refreshing when it actually lines up with history correctly.

It would have been a near perfect piece covering these historic issues, if only .... That last paragraph... If only they didn't falsely asserts a broad generalization that is easily and provably incorrect. Its mistaken in its naivete, and the provided information doesn't support it.

Those of limited intelligence, when they can't win an argument on rational grounds tend to fall back to malign influence and flawed thinking and the conclusion is no different from a straw-man.

As a reader, do yourself a favor, and just skip that last conclusion paragraph. Everything else looks mostly correct.

OR a small seen satellite:

"A potential explanation for Quaoar’s distant rings is the presence of a moon, Weywot. The moon may have created gravitational disturbances that prevented the ring’s particles from accreting into additional moons. Both rings occur in locations near what are known as resonances with Weywot, and the resonances may turn out to be more important than the Roche limit for determining whether rings turn into moons or remain as rings."

How is this calculated? Is this (#divorces/#marriages)? If so, you could get a really high rate if the number of marriages has dropped significantly, but divorces remain constant.

In other words, it may not mean 94% chance of divorcing if you get married

EDIT: Looks like the number was pulled from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce_demography

Which is calculated by the ratio of:

# of divorces per 1000 people per year

divided by

# of marriages per 1000 people per year

Looking at the table, Portugal has the lowest marriage rate per 1000 per year of all the countries listed, but an average divorce rate.

When Walmart comes into a small town and uses it’s economies of scale to force smaller stores to shut down because they have the ability to operate at a loss, is this choice?

The Communist writer known for adopting that passage of II Thessalonians as “the first principle of socialism” is Lenin (in The State and Revolution [1917]), not Marx.

Non-Leninist Marxists tend to not have a very high opinion of Lenin, in general.
I know all of these things sound nice. But in the real world a lot of businesses aren't making the kind of profit that allows workers to just take time off and not generate any revenue for the company. Sure there are some that could pull it off. But most small businesses aren't making that kind of profit. Unless you are assuming workers are supposed to take unpaid time off. But then how are they going to afford to take time off?

Personally in my career I would have much preferred sabbaticals to a reduced work week. I think most companies would find sabbaticals hard to retrofit though. You either screw the people who have a long tenure with the company or you suddenly have an unsustainable number of people who are now eligible for a sabbatical all at the same time.

Rust has a lot of unsafeties. First their stdlib is mostly unsafe. Also their varargs may overflow. That's why they have tons of stack overflow bugs in their issues. They use unbounded stack allocation, alloca is nice but dangerous. To overcome their segvs they just lie and signal sigabrt instead.
They cannot free cycles.
They need to use mutexes for concurrency, which is a big no-no, deadlocking. Their FFI is unsafer than lisp ffi's.
I don't see a safe of dialect of rust, you could trust. Their new safe pragma doesn't help with all of these. There also tons of CVE's.
That's been a long running debate in the community, whether the "MineTestGame" should be included by default anymore. At some point MTG seemed slated to be even discontinued as a project, but instead it got some fixes for outstanding issues and kept intact.

In my case, when I was starting out, it was a nice way to incrementally add game features only when I was ready for them, with MTG being the base to start from. So I have a bit of a soft spot for it.

Great, more propaganda. The first Our Planet was heavily criticized after it was discovered that the iconic images of walruses falling to their deaths due to "climate change" was... extremely misleading. They never apologized, but did quiet down their efforts to make walruses "the face of climate change" afterwards. But it's still on Netflix, and if you watch the evidence in full... it's a travesty of dishonesty.

In the past, a was skeptical of writings describing totalitarian societies/states, especially since it was often politically motivated. Until becoming a subject of one.

Edit: I am curious as to why I get downvoted. Is it a political trope in a particular country to say that one lives in a totalitarian society/state? A rhetorical ploy? I use it in a literal sense: no freedom of expression, no freedom of the press, jailed political opponents and journalists, criminalization of political movements, jailed citizens for saying thinks on Facebook, jailed citizens for having been in a protest, the constant threat of prison for almost any trifle...

Two sides of the same coin. I know it’s difficult to see it while stuck inside the loop but corporate work is like soviet work with fancy iphones and the illusion of free choice (you can chose as long as the choice is right). The politburo is replaced by the board while the apparatus by management. Conformity and obedience are not just desired are actively encouraged. Spreading corporate propaganda and preventing workers from organising are also shared values. All in all both are systems of oppression with the exception that in free societies you can escape - until of course they find a way to replace people at scale. Then you get sucked back in while the proletariat cheers from the sides.
Potentially controversial view: until kids get to high school, and if they're good students anyway, just have them skip school for a week and go on a trip. They're likely not missing anything important in one week of schooling.

For example, I'm definitely not figuring my son's grade 2 timelines into my travel plans. He loves school and everything, but he can skip it for a week somewhere if that literally saves the family thousands.

Yep. Cube would automatically figure out the join path for you on top of the defined join graph in the data model using the Dijkstra algorithm. The best practice however is to use views: https://cube.dev/docs/schema/reference/view/#views. Those can be used to explicitly control join paths and get an effect similar to what Looker Explore can provide.
The article even starts with a bad premise, claiming we have a laissez-faire system. Don't listen to people that binaryize opposing viewpoints: all forms of capitalism are the same.

> arguments for a centrally planned economy

I actually think we're getting close to a point where a planned economy could be feasible. The problem with planned economies is that the economy is naturally chaotic (small perturbations result in large changes in outcomes). So to do this you need a pretty close eye and measurements of the economy. But looking at this requirement, we have to ask what actually needs to be given up. I'd argue that this is the reason that we should never have a planned economy. The solution space is complex and there are no globally optimal systems, so we need to pick what we care about. If you are about reducing harm from potential tyrants from abusing the population (or some subset) and/or privacy and security from governments (not just your own) then this is absolutely not a path we want to go down. Because high levels of surveillance maximize tyrant's power and maximize potential exploitation by adversarial governments.

And there lies the problem. Things that "look good on paper, but don't work in practice" are just things where on paper we haven't been nuanced. It is where on paper we've just had a myopic viewpoint, steamrolling your opinion, not seeking solutions. This is true outside economics and politics, but I think since it is a field that everyone feels qualified participate in and highly encourages blinders. We can't go about solving complex problems this way. We can't solve complex problems pretending all problems are easy and have precise solutions. Life is messy, and so are solutions.

So let's talk about what we actually care about and what our actual objectives are before we even attempt to start optimizing. I rarely see any discussion of objectives. It is fine to assume that people just want a strong economy and well off people, but there are many other variables that we either need to concern ourselves with or not, and we can't have these conversations without establishing our premises. They aren't obvious.

I wonder what the social causes of this are. It’s a shame that it’s just a list of statistics with no coverage of underlying reasons (is divorce easier? Is their pressure to get married when it isn’t really appropriate? Are there legal benefits to being married that make short term marriage useful? Etc, etc)
It makes sense. They implement a voucher system to shrink the public schools. Next logical step is shrink the housing itself. Cause and correlation, etc, but after shrinking the public schools Arizona has the worst schools in the country. Maybe they should try putting the teachers in McMansions instead to get the opposite effect?
> One of my favorite climate change books is How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, by Bill Gates, in which he outlines where the biggest opportunities lie. His approach seems far more practical and likely to make a dent in the problem.

This is one of your favorite books, and it literally, explicitly disagrees with what you're saying?

One of the core points of that book is that reducing emissions is not enough--we have to eliminate emissions, not reduce them, and investing in reduction solutions may in fact prevent eliminating emissions. Natural gas is literally the example he gives of this. He notes that natural gas is a minor carbon emitter compared to other fossil fuels, but continued investment in natural gas means that we'll still be emitting carbon in 2050, which is his target date for eliminating carbon emissions. That reduction won't be enough--elimination is the only solution.

I mean, dude, it's in the Wikipedia summary. Why would you cite this without at least putting in 30 seconds to investigate whether it supports what you're saying?

Overcoming Driving Anxiety

Any advice on the most efficient ways to address the problem?
No, I specifically said "accept invalid syntax but not mark the parse trees as bad". Tree-sitter is supposed to accept invalid syntax, yes, but also tag the nodes as such. And at the time it seemed upstream didn't intend to fix the edge cases where it fails to do so, it just gave syntax trees that didn't match the grammar.
Ukrainian drones strike Crimea oil depot, Russian official says
This is great. I've been interested in understanding how the Soviet economy worked for a long time. I've found only a handful of articles like this one. Unless you're willing to delve into hardcore economic academic papers (I am not) it's hard to get an actual informed perspective. Most Googling around will basically return you the rote response that it basically didn't work. Which, despite the many issues with the Soviet economy, is obviously not true.
It's hard to translate. The law speaks of Erholungsurlaub, which could be translated as “recuperation vacation“. That already sets a clear purpose.

Waitwhat? Nice name.
Windows just nails it. Now that I'm spending most of my time on the desktop with Linux, I've tried to get the same results tere and move to IPv6 only: with clatd it's mostly been a smooth ride.

One small issue: I think T-Mobile is giving /56 but for some reason the Qualcomm 5G card only gives /64 through wwan0.

However, checking the IPv6 returned by qmi with `--wds-get-current-settings` returns a different one each time, so I think the embedded Linux inside the Qualcomm cards does SLAAC and the equivalent of net.ipv6.conf.wwan0.addr_gen_mode=3 to randomize the IID for EUI64
