I agree that fascism is much more specific than how most folks use it, but as a tangent I would argue that China is no longer Communist (with Chinese characteristics) and instead transitioned to Fascism after the death of Mao.

China is not just nationalist but often racist, two characteristics of Fascism but not Communism (which is internationalist and egalitarian). China pushes a market economy under strict government control, creating three legs of Workers, Business Leaders and Government, a facet of Fascism; this is contrasted with the single leg of Communism where everyone is a Worker.

Regardless of whether they're Communist™ or Fascist™, the Chinese government is brutal to its people and often threatens (former) citizens abroad with harm to family members in the PRC. The label is less important than recognizing what they're doing.

One more reason to stop consuming those. Freshly squeezed fruit juice is already not amazing, but ok in small amounts. It's better to just consume the fruits.

What they are selling in the supermarket can hardly be qualified as fruit juice, and are basically differently flavored soda. Some of them even manage to have more sugar than a Coke.

No, red headlamps help the wearer too. Red light triggers less of an adaptation [1] response than other hues relative to the amount of useful illumination they provide. Red light lets us perceive our surroundings, but doesn't trigger our eyes to close the pupils and become less sensitive to the incoming light.

(Blue has the opposite effect, which is why a room lit only by blue light can feel both dim [hard to see] and harsh [unpleasantly bright] at the same time.)

Now perhaps all of this is just bad science and these correlations are just statistical anomalies. But perhaps they aren't.
I love being in the city and working side by side with my coworkers. But I absolutely do not want to commute two hours daily. I have kids, so I must be home by 5pm and also must help get them ready for drop off at 8am. That leaves no time for work + commuting.

Mass transit in the bay area sucks. Bart is packed, loud, and uncomfortable. I feel unsafe at my station (Fruitvale). So my only other option is to take the bus which is an hour each way because of traffic.

Just to clarify, they were measuring the juices and sodas against the standards for water, not food in general. It's still not great, but I believe the standards for water are much stricter than for food because it is consumed in such great quantities. So this isn't as big a deal as when rice is found to have too much arsenic, or chocolate has high levels of heavy metals — measured against food standards.

> if I'm physically answering the door and don't recognize the person on the other side, I can reasonably expect that the purpose of the interaction will be to eject them from my property

This is exactly what I'm talking about. First, it's unwarranted to think that your only action will be to tell them to get lost. What if they're asking for help? (And while it's certainly one's right to refuse to help someone, that minority opinion isn't particularly interesting)

Second, using this word "eject" indicates that you have set yourself up for a confrontation - from the same exact vein as the social media fueled paranoia I'm talking about. If you cannot answer the door with your priors set to that of civil society rather than action movie, then you aren't being particularly responsible.

> We do [police other gun owners]

Sure, sometimes. But if your buddy is having some mental health problems, and rejects your casual offer to hold his guns, do you escalate the situation to compel him to relinquish them? Or do you look the other way, knowing that he would end up on some kind of permanent flag list? That's the dynamic I'm talking about, and it's ultimately one that requires trust, which has broken down.

> we would much rather risk Armed Crazy Bob than to give the government the ability to apply the "Crazy" monicker to whomever they like.

Well at this point you aren't merely "risking" Crazy Bob. Rather there is an endless supply of Crazy Bobs continually shooting up public places, often broadcasting their psychoses ahead of time, while many gun advocates cling to this possibility that government might declare someone crazy for political purposes - while many simultaneously adopt aggressive craziness as a political movement!

One way or another something is going to break, and I'd much rather have it be this simulated defiance groupthink than most everyone's basic right to self defense as referenced by the second amendment.
Why should customers of a service put up with that service censoring their mentions of other services?
To me, this is the "past generations" litmus test I measure any of my personal preferences against.

AI predicts pancreatic cancer 3 years before it happens
AI algorithms can screen for pancreatic cancer and predict whether patients will develop the disease up to three years before a human doctor can make the same diagnosis, according to research published in Nature on Monday.

Pancreatic cancer is deadly; the five-year survival rate averages 12 percent. Academics working in Denmark and the US believe AI could help clinicians by detecting pancreatic cancer at earlier stages, if the software can reliably predict which patients are at higher risk of developing the disease.

The researchers trained AI algorithms on millions of medical records obtained in the Danish National Patient Registry and the US Veterans Affairs Corporate Data Warehouse. The models were trained to correlate diagnosis codes – labels used by hospitals describing different medical conditions – to pancreatic cancer.

On second thought, these are mostly too closely related, I think that if you want to truly find the ur-specification languages this is closely related to Girard's research program. Specification languages are intrinsically tied to a notion of truth and also of proof (method of establishing / showing truth), these are central questions in Girard's work.

I think a revised list should also include proof-nets, and other weirder specification languages like the [flower calculus](http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/Labo/Pablo.DONATO/drafts/FJ....) or stellar resolution. These also stretch the usual interpretation of language as a syntax tree.

Whoa whoa whoa, I'm the first one to call out perverse incentives in government programs, but even I would assume that dentists had meaningful ethics codes and enforcement that would largely mitigate this kind of abuse.

OTOH, if the "unnecessary" there just means "not satisfying the platonically correct cost/benefit analysis", and there's still some net benefit to the patient, and the government program didn't ask the dentists to use such CBA, then I wouldn't consider that abusive.

(I can imagine Frontline being equally outraged at dentists denying government-subsidized dental care on grounds of failing the platonic CBA too...)
Yeah I'm more looking for shortcuts. With German it was really just a matter of seeing a bit of it, and then boom I could read the newspaper with no problem.

It just seems like a silly thing to steelman. Tethering is almost certainly going to be an optional feature as headset power catches up. FOV and hires screens will continue to be developed regardless of whether or not the headset is tethered, and as-is I think my Quest is perfectly usable for both cases. It doesn't have 120 degrees of FOV, but I guess it doesn't irk me that much.

Put another way, in 10 years I think most consumers will wonder why we even bothered with tethering in the first place. Watching movies and playing games wirelessly is well worth the marginal drop in bitrate, in my experience.
It also lags one iteration behind. Which is a problem because a misaligned model might lie to you, spoiling all future research with this method
> Depending on the design of the tag, it might be possible to rewrite the firmware to violate the requirements in this document, for instance by rotating the MAC address frequently to evade detection (oddly: this document says "The accessory SHOULD have firmware that is updatable by the owner", which is the opposite of what you want here.)

One part of me supports this Stallman-esque proposition as self-evident: of course the owner should have the ability to update the firmware. Another part of me is deeply concerned about the potential for misuse, including modifications that explicitly evade detections of stalking. Tracking another human and violating their privacy shouldn't have been so easy.

NYC is indeed absurdly expensive (and getting worse), but: you're being taken for a ride if someone is trying to rent you a 1BR for $5K.

That's not the argument I thought I was making.

The lower the application criticality and the bigger the project impact, the more leeway you can give if there are legitimate project-killing limitations. It's safe to say that the project is impactful because it adds an important sovereign capability, and low criticality because it won't be used for safety and it's not already slated for use in a flagship mission as a mission-killing component.

The only assumption you have to make is why VHDL would be bad. Could be a technical limitation that would be prohibitively expensive to fix. Could be that this group is coming from a non-space background in Verilog and switching to VHDL would be too long and expensive. Or maybe it's a long-term strategic decision to advance the use of Verilog in space because the ESA feels like VHDL will become a liability in the future.
SLS basically has a single purpose: funneling money to particular contractors. There is no objective in space that couldn't be done more cheaply with F9 and FH, given propellant transfer and some in-space assembly.

They would never do it, but all I want is some sort of common API thing that I can plug into a system like Kodi that would let me browse and search the libraries of any service I'm subscribed to and then let me launch directly into an episode or movie from there. Why do I have to have a billion different apps, some of which don't work correctly or even have remote friendly UIs? (Hidive for example has fast forward and rewind buttons. Other services do that thing where they show frames of things that happened before/after the current spot and it's easier to navigate to where you want.)

Not to mention if I want to watch something but I can't remember which service it was on. It'd be great if I could just search for it and then go. Or see recently played things across services.

My 2023 Terminal, Shell and Command-Line Toolbox
The Hypermodern Terminal Toolbox is a collection of tools I use as a terminal first developer:

- Neovim as a text editor,
- Tmux for managing multiple terminals,
- Starship for a pretty prompt,
- Ripgrep for searching text files,
- fzf for fuzzy searching,
- Exa for listing files,
- Bat for viewing files,
- Sad for find and replace in text files,
- jq for working with JSON,
- zoxide for navigation,
- Tig for viewing Git history,
- direnv for environment variable management,
- Lazydocker for Docker,
- Markserv for previewing Markdown,
- ngrok for exposing local servers to the internet.
