From page 14:

"What are landowners to do if they want to build on their property? The EPA recommends asking the Corps for a jurisdictional determination, which is a written decision on whether a particular site contains covered waters. But the Corps maintains that it has no obligation to provide jurisdictional determinations, and it has already begun announcing exceptions to the legal effect of some previous determinations."
> When I go to the office, my productivity really drops.

Same for me. The first couple of times, I became really frustrated with spending a week in the office. It seemed to be a cycle of "Plug in laptop, read and respond to a couple of emails, unplug laptop, go to a meeting, bullshit for the first 10 minutes of the meeting, listen to other people talk for 40 minutes, bullshit for the last 10 minutes of the meeting, close laptop, stop by the cafeteria for coffee, bullshit over coffee for 10 minutes, go back to desk." Repeat 3x-4x a day for five days.

I "got over it" by finally accepting the fact that my week in the office is not going to be productive in my traditional sense. The cycle above is the work I am doing for that week.

I'm not sure much changes. High voltage systems are fairly complex and basically impossible to work on at home in a safe manner. This will direct pretty much all repairs that require disabling the high voltage system to mechanics / dealerships. We have a living example of this sort of transition with GM and their Volt / Bolt. Mechanics working on EVs today have be specially trained on high voltage procedures, which are fairly cumbersome in the shop to perform. Even things that seem simple, like the heat pump, end up with a fair amount of complexity due to stuff like special procedures, special oils, more valves with addition of a battery loop, etc.

Dealerships do lose the oil change up-sell loop, but my gut feeling is they can make up the cost with big margins on high-voltage repairs. Check out the workshop service manuals for some existing EVs today -- its staggering how much more complex a battery cell replacement is compared to say, an ICE engine swap. Dealer prices on these two procedures are priced accordingly, with procedures that involve HV components regularly costing more than the depreciated value of the EV itself! The Toyota Prius seems to be the first and last model with any kind of easy repair kept in mind for high-voltage components on cars.

I think presidents typically grant pardons right before they leave office. So you can’t look at Biden stats until he’s out of office.

If you look at Trump [0] he granted 6 pardons his first full year year in 2017 and 116 in 2021. Similarly, Obama granted 0 in 2010 and 142 in 2017. Bush had 0 in 2002 and 32 in 2009 (although his highest year was 44 in 2008).

So Biden is not stingier than Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, First Bush, and Reagan from similar points in their career.

The problem is also shared, unfortunately, by you as well on the first point: that IQ is a meaningful measure and a comprehensive signal of ability. The field of microvascular neurosurgery is orthogonal to stock trading and orthogonal again to international intellectual property law. There are occasions for intersection but there is no substitute for accumulated domain experience that takes time and energy to deliberately follow each path towards mastery. This is why someone similar to an entrepreneur is usually best served by adopting an attitude of inquisitive curiosity and deference to subject matter experts.
I think it's important to point out that wetlands and floodplains are a major part of what protects your home from flooding, and aren't just a simple nature reserve.

A wetland acts like a big sponge. A massive rainstorm drops a pile of water, and it absorbs into the wetland. It releases slowly. It's a buffer for water.

This means your infrastructure for moving the water through, past, around the city and urban areas can be smaller, since they don't need to handle so much water as once. Or that they can handle a larger rainstorm.

You want a wetland or ten upstream of your home. They are low cost to maintain, and provide a lot of value.

I got the chess one pretty easily but I'm stuck on "The elements in your password must have atomic numbers that add up to 200". I haven't found a way to satisfy both this and "The roman numerals in your password should multiply to 35" simultaneously. Iodine (I) and Uranium (U) have high atomic numbers which blow out way higher than 200 and I haven't found a way to avoid them.

Edit: OK, just realised that it's case sensitive. So I can use a lower case "u" to avoid it being interpreted as an element.

I recently started a new job and went from working hybrid to fully remote. The department I worked in was spread across two different locations with most of the team working from the one I wasn't at. There was a huge push by management to force people back into the office more and more; I'd often end up sitting there alone all day while people from sales had calls and meetings on speaker at max volume along with an expensive, stressful commute on a packed train either side.

This was one of the things that pushed me to finally look somewhere else (there were lots of other issues) and there's no way someone could get me to go back to pointlessly working in an office, spending hours per day and thousands per year commuting unpaid just so they can exercise further control while ironically reducing productivity significantly.

Our laws are supposed to be interpreted via precedent. We are not a fly by night French civil system. Our legal traditions are rooted in maintaining centuries of stability within the law, altering those interpretations only in accordance with new laws.

If the courts cannot be expected to consistently interpret the law, how can citizens be sure what that law means?

To turn over fifty years of precedent on a whim is certainly within the power of the supreme court, but only in the same manner that doing a poor job of running the federal government is within the powers of the executive.

There is nothing to stop them from doing their job poorly, because they are themselves the ones responsible for setting and maintaining high standards.
Many of the significant bills in the Wikipedia article are budgetary bills, which are not subject to the Senate filibuster.

I suspect the current Congress has not passed any meaningful non-budgetary legislation.

Some of the most important pending bills include restoring the Voting Rights Act (which was crippled by the conservative wing of the Supreme Court in the Shelby County v. Holder decision). That bill is still being blocked by the Republican party. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lewis_Voting_Rights_Act

The Voting Rights Act used to be a bill that was renewed with bipartisan support, but once the Republican party realized that the invalidation of this bill made it easier to suppress minority votes in red states, they've been opposed to its renewal.
The reason services like AWS or Azure are distributed is so that your resources are not concentrated which helps with fault tolerance. If your datacenter goes down, your whole service goes down. Also as was mentioned in other comments, asynchrony also applies in the same datacenter.
Years ago I found myself in an online discussion over usurious credit card interest rates, which I felt (and feel) should be illegal. My interlocutor objected that if that were the case then people would be unable to buy basic necessities such as groceries or household supplies.

I really wish I'd realised the proper rebuttal at the time: that if large numbers of people are unable to meet current ongoing expenses without going into debt, then they simply are not being paid enough.

The iron law of wages and the law of rent are a cruel pair. The one denies necessities, the latter takes all excess and then some.

Their argument is mostly based on a single study.

> Personally, I blame Apple with its supposed "safe" walled garden more for the many stalkerware products than Android where the ability to install apps from third parties exists. Their whole walled garden shtick revolves around how they protect their users, after all, which rings pretty hollow when they allow apps like these to exist on their platform. Shows how much Apple really cares about your safety!

These kinds of apps do not exist on the App Store, and are absolutely impossible on iOS outside the realm of security firms and black hats with zero days. Not sure what you're talking about here. Of course with physical access to the device, almost anything is possible. But the key issue here is Google allowing these things to fester on the Play store.

My company is still fully remote and one thing I’ve noticed is that individuals are more productive compared to the office, but teams are much less productive because everyone is just working on whatever they feel like instead of collaborating. It’s interesting to me that every individual seems to be more productive but our organization as a whole is clearly much less so.

They are perfectly aware that their excuse is flimsy and doesn’t hold scrutiny but they don’t care. Like they didn’t care that Parisians didn’t want the game and it’s just an ego trip from the worst mayor the city has ever had. They didn’t care that they won’t be ready in time despite having made the city a living hell for the past three years. And they didn’t care that the tickets were completely unaffordable for the average French.

These games will probably be the worst ever. No one wants them in France. I can already foresee mass strikes and protests and to be honest it makes me very happy. The Olympic Games are now a purely commercial endeavour which would make their founders ashamed of what they created.

As someone who isn't sold on EVs (as they exist today), I just don't how EVs will wind up being better economically. Energy costs will wind up going up as demand on the grid strains our infrastructure's ability to supply enough electricity as most folks switches over to EVs. Worse, costs for all electricity (home, industry, etc) will go up as demand surges. My ICE vehicle won't lose range like an EV's will over time. Nor, will it need an expensive battery to be replaced.

From a practical perspective, I can store 100+ miles of range in a $30 plastic container that I can store in the yard. If there's an extended power outage and I have an EV - I have to wait for the grid to come back up in order to drive my EV. Backup home batteries are still very expensive. Even at half their current prices they're prohibitive (compared to say an emergency gas generator).

Will these problems be solved? Probably, just not in the next few years. My wife just got a new car and we chose an ICE. I will probably replace my 2016 ICE vehicle in the next 5-10 years and I think I'll wind up with another ICE.
An issue down to coin flips should be seen as a signal of a bug. However, I would argue that more often than not, it's not actually down to a coin flip. There is a default position in a liberal society, and that is that of minimal authority. Every legal question is fundamentally one of "does the state have the authority to do this, and if so, at what level?" If the answer is unclear, this should always resolve to no, or if yes, at the most localized level specified.

> if given wetlands are not connected to interstate navigable waters

How many endorheic basins do we even have in the United States? And one of the major ones, the basin of the Great Salt Lake, is clearly navigable for commerce purposes (although obviously not for "interstate" commerce, which may be what matters here).

> if they affect the water in other states, eg. through ground water flows etc. However, they will need to pass a new law to assert that

Why do we need to pass a law to assert something patently obvious to everyone? All waters are connected to major U.S. rivers except those in small endorheic basins. If some random person wants to build a house on a lake (which is a euphemism for: some major corporation wants to dump toxic waste in that lake), of course that affects all downstream waters of that lake, all the way to the ocean.

I'm not here to make assumptions. I'm here to point out "being able to open a web page in a context like that is not necessarily a security problem", and I'm sure you can think of an example if you don't like my example.

With an existence proof, you only have to worry about the narrowest possible interpretation. The skill of considering what an exploit could lead to is very important, but it fits oddly into such a hypothetical. Finding a possible flaw doesn't invalidate an existence proof unless you also can't think of a way to mitigate it.

Also if the video is small and says youtube and tricks a user I'm not sure I would call that a security problem. You can trick users with a post-it note, and that doesn't mean there's anything wrong on a technical level.

I think it’s pretty clear that rto is a way to get people to quit, but I’m not so sure about the first to leave theory. The best employees in my org are the ones who are most committed to the product. They’re not super likely to leave just because they’re so personally invested in what we’re doing. The average employees are still able to get offers, they’re the ones that tend to leave.

Why is congress even involved in software, open source, AI, any of this?
It's already being implemented into the OpenAI API to reduce per-token API costs. It's not as complicated as I think you're envisioning, you just take the current state in memory of the model at a given token, and then put it in storage when you want to suspend or share the conversation. When you want to continue from that point in the conversation, you just load the state into memory and after inputting your next prompt it works normally. Think of it more like Quick Resume from the Xbox technology stack or the way save states work in gaming emulators.

The video made it seem like the mics were on the _outside_ of the vehicle. But now I wonder if that's true.
I think you will find that there is a certain tolerance for complex systems, and when one part of the system gets simpler, you have to scramble as a user to claw back that reduction for yourself. Only some companies pay that dividend entirely to the user. Some keep it for themselves, and others split it with you.

Which is to say, if the drivetrain gets simpler, the rest of the car will become more complex. Some of that could be good, like more/better heat pumps, but some of it will be complecting other parts of the car.
