Not necessarily but there's lots of examples if that's the path you want.

BBC, NHK, CBC, PBS, France 24, ... these are all generally regarded as pretty decent. Even AJ+, RT and Al Jazeera has done decent journalism.

We can speculate based on fears or look at existing systems.

Some people gnaw at their fingernails and couch faint whenever "government" is mentioned like it's some masked moustache twirling cartoon villain from a children's show. I hope we can be a bit more reasonable and sober about this. The 101 year old BBC isn't the last thread being unwound from a totalitarian sword of damocles about to befall on an unsuspecting public.

To go back to the previous conversation, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, MIT, Caltech - all private. There's models that don't involve the government.

Even religious organizations like Christian Science Monitor are decent.

Teen Vogue does decent journalism as well these days, using the funds from their fashion and fluff to do real reporting. (Ex: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/harm-reduction-young-people-...)

Playboy funded some great journalism as well, for instance their 1985 interview with Steve Jobs https://allaboutstevejobs.com/verbatim/interviews/playboy_19... and I quote (again, 1985)

"The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it into a nationwide communications network. We’re just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people—as remarkable as the telephone."

There's lots of possibilities. The point is to not link the Hayekian homoeconomicus profit machine to the institution of news production. That's what leads to clickbait advalanches

In terms of link syntax, I think it’s advantageous to simply have URLs, rather than linking with provided text. I prefer the footnote approach of pointing to a website [1]

> Why would anyone want that awful connector back in their life?

I thought the same thing when I saw that. No, never mind. I’m solidly on the way to USB-C only now, and I’m hoping the new iPhone will finally bring it after those rules changes in Europe (not that lightning is bad exactly, but I really enjoy having the same ends on both sides of the cable).
His entire channel is brilliant. I also love his homemade GPU. I forget sometimes just how fast CPUs are so watching him 'race the beam' (not literally anymore, but HDMI has timings just the same) is fascinating.
This addresses the title but not the content. The NHS is failing to meet its own goals in a pretty bad way, pretty much everywhere. Whether this is true in every country I don't know, but it's certainly not an inevitability.

> The analysis assessed how quickly patients can access health care in each of England’s 533 constituencies — the British term for electoral districts — and found that nearly every single area is failing to meet even half of eight key indicators tracked by the government, from hospital bed availability to ambulance waiting times. A fifth are meeting none.
Healthcare across the entire west is crumbling, and not through defunding. It's driven by demographic shifts that nobody has a real plan to fix.
I really appreciate attempts like this, but I encourage people to actually attempt living without a smart phone first. It isn’t easy. Just viewing a menu in many restaurants is difficult as you lack a QR code scanner hooked to web browser. Next, many people will expect you to have MMS, Signal, WhatsApp or something else. In moments where you realize that you need to look something up for something immediate, you can’t. If someone wants to split a bill and you don’t have a cash, you could Zelle, ah… but nope.

Personally, I hate smartphones and I hate how humans have changed their behaviors in response to them. I also love the utility that a smartphone provides, and I don’t know whether or not we’re better off with or without them.
With all due respect, I think this is a bit too simplistic.

You cannot “teach” anyone anything, especially as they grow older, you can model the behaviour you desire, but even then, they have to want to ape their parents behaviour, unlikely for a lot of kids, hence the prevalence of “influencers”.

It’s also a bit flippant to say gender is outdated, boys face different pressures and drivers than girls, see risk appetite for instance.

We do need a discussion about the differences in the genders, and I especially think boys options need to be reviewed as their traditional outlets are eroded more (breadwinner, hunter, gatherer, agression etc..)
I know this headline is about "pre-dating" chronologically, but I keep reading it as a T.rex predator om-nom-nomming crunchy, puny humans.
I'm also defending science by, as you say, pointing out that it's like what most people do all the time. But it's precisely for this reason that I don't think that one can draw any clear distinction between scientists and non-scientists or see scientists as somehow distinct from "citizens."

Of course, we can use various terms to describe people belonging to specific institutions or working in specific disciplines, but I don't think it makes any sense to draw a general distinction between "professional scientists," "amateur scientists," and "non-scientists." (Few, I think, consider "amateur" a compliment.)

I think we're talking about different things: I was talking about the physical risk to the humans inside and outside of the truck, not the cost of insuring the truck. Trucks can simultaneously be involved in fewer non-injury accidents (meaning preferable insurance terms for you) and be involved in more injurious accidents/produce worse health outcomes.

IIHS and NHTSA have figures that are generally consistent with my speculation[1]:

1. Overall car occupant deaths have nearly halved since 1975, but have risen by 25% in the pickup category.

2. Trucks have fewer rollover accidents as a category, but those rollovers that do occur make up a far larger percentage of occupant deaths.

3. Consistent with (2), truck drivers appear to drive without seatbelts more often than other categories do (based on overall incidence in accidents), and suffer higher fatalities as a result.

Fully agree. About 40,000 eons ago I wrote a Forth compiler in ZX81 basic. It went from taking 19 seconds to print 1000 numbers on the screen to instantly. I also learned a great lesson: I looked at the machine code it generated (it had a pinhole optimizer because the output was PUSH HL, PUSH DE, POP DE, POP HL everywhere), and I thought it was perfection - impossible to improve. The day later I came back and made it much faster.
Nice sounding story, but do you have a source that debt lent to PE backed companies has negative real returns, on average?

I think the elephant in the room is actually the fact she’s a woman. Liberals would find so many issues with it, if it was an article about models of femininity, written by a man.
Gen-Z grew up in a world where the old, searchable internet was already dysfunctional and overrun with siloed apps. I think most of them don't know what they're missing. It's no big deal to do documentation in Discord for them, and I can even see a few pros (comments, chat, pins, multimedia, likes/emojis). At the very least, the format aligns with things that are already ingrained in their minds.

Personally, all of that can go to hell, just give me documentation generated from source on a static site and get out of my way.
Of course they would be more likely to believe a book, they should be. That's the point: making a web page is super easy, anyone can do it. Making a convincing fake issue of a science magazine would be a lot harder, it's highly unlikely someone would do it just for a joke.

But really, if there were something as bizarre as a tree octopus, you would have heard of it.
> You'll need to find a truck that is at least 25 years old. In the US, cars more youthful than that must comply with FMVSS (safety standards). If you buy a more recent vintage, you won't be able to get it registered anywhere, so pay attention to that model year!

Not quite. The US government cares about the date of manufacture, which doesn't always align with model years. Today you could legally import a vehicle manufactured in June of 1998, even if it is a 1999 model year.
I had mostly given it up for dead - but it appears there was some significant news this June:

They should have thought of that before they put non-ASCII characters in their language.
I'm not a car guy, but I do know that people get really passionate about them, join local clubs and make new friends through their shared love of some particular old vehicle.

They also put huge amounts of effort into maintaining them, learn new skills and keep themselves busy.

So while vintage cars and the culture around them do obviously cause deaths due to accidents, I'd suspect they also perform a huge amount of social good in terms of reducing social isolation, depression/despair, Alzheimer's and a whole lot of other subtle things I didn't even consider.
You might be thinking of a spiral dive. A spiral dive is what disoriented pilots in IMC often get into, and if you don’t have your wits about you it can really ruin your day.

The problem is that in a spiral dive your butt feel is like you are going straight and level, but your airspeed and feel of the airplane is telling you to pull up.

It will appear that the artificial horizon has failed (it will usually be indicating the truth, but it will feel wrong and you will think it’s broken, or it may be past it’s gimbal lock limits. )

If you follow your instincts, you will try to pull up. That will have the effect of tightening the spiral component of the dive but will not cause the aircraft to regain level flight. It will also have the effect of drastically increasing the stress on the airframe, which may already be beyond its maximum structural speed.

Recovery from a spiral dive is very easy… but you have to know you are in a spiral dive, and without visual reference to the ground that requires awareness and correct interpretation of the flight instruments.

You are in a spiral dive if:

A: you are going at an inexplicably high speed for your engine and airframe configuration (you are in a dive). Most pilots recognise this easily.

And

B: your rate of turn indicator is off center or especially, pegged to one side. You have to be looking for this.

Aside from that, a rapid descent showing on the VSI and altimeter.

Other gyroscopic instruments such as the heading indicator and the artificial horizon may be showing erratic or incorrect information.

Recovery is easy:

1: immediately pull the throttle to idle.

2: neutralise the turn that is indicated on the turn indicator using normal control inputs. Do not attempt to pull up until the turn has stopped completely.

3: gently pull out of the dive. Avoid abrupt control movements until the aircraft is below manoeuvring speed.

4: continue to fly the aircraft. If you are in clouds consider carb heat to avoid icing.

That’s really it.

I was thinking about something similar the other day — why does anyone besides my family really care if I wear a seatbelt or not?

You know what vehicle I see all the time that doesn’t require a license or minimum age, doesn’t have any safety features and can go 15-20 mph alongside traffic and often on a city sidewalk amongst pedestrians? A bicycle ;)
There's also true names in DND which were given by gods and if learned would allow you to control the creature. If I'm remembering NVN correctly :)
I'd note that pickup trucks made in north America were last to have such simple safety equipment as head restraints in the back seat. Whereas I'd note that import trucks on the domestic market had them first. Some of us aren't made of money and a Japanese import even at 15 (Canada) or 25 years old may have a much better price and lower milage then a domestic vehicle half as old. Trucks have been last to the game for safety and emissions standards. I'd argue these imports with engines half the displacement of sub-compact cars are a boon for DIY and handy-people.

>We have to invest more in identifying and tackling disease earlier if we want to “stop the hospitals from falling over and the GPs from being overwhelmed,” he said.

Demographics and shrinking labor forces alone will bring the system to its knees regardless of money. It's absolutely baffling in the face of this trend that preventative, systemic policies are practically never discussed and everything centers around individual care.

Countries like Singapore show how you can tackle this, strong interventions to prevent entire populations from being obese, a regulated medical sector to bring costs down and private savings funds to encourage personal responsibilty.

It is hard to tell, as someone else said Jones town is a good example of insane ideas taking hold of a group.

Historical accuracy is difficult even on short time scales. Penn and Tell on their show BS used the "official" recipe of Elvis Presely Banana Bacon Sandwich as an example of how even in living memory two people in a position of authority on these things could have two very different recipes.

To be a little more high brow, Pliny the Elder was the one that wrote of Emperor Nero playing the harp as watching Rome burn. He wrote this 150 years (?) after the fact and was very skeptical of this claim as it had been passed along verbally and manipulated heavily along the way.

Could be similar here.
I'm just saying that faulting a F-117 for not being a dog fighter is silly when it was designed to be a bomber.

The real reason to retire the F-117 was because the B-2 could stealthily deliver more bombs anyways and they wanted to free up funding for other projects, not because the F-117 couldn't dog fight. That wasn't its job.

There is a plaque with hex dump at the entrance of Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

I immediately recognized the opcodes on it because I knew Z80 and they were in 8080 (I don't remember seeing any ED B0 or similar Z80 extensions). 01, 11, 21, C3 and CD’s all over. I think it was either a boot loader or a BASIC ROM startup code, but not sure.

8080 probably implies Altair BASIC because there was “(C) MICROSOFT” string in the code.

> Where can one learn more about microcode,

Provided you can find a copy, the book "Computer Organization", 2nd ed, by V. Car Hamacher, Zvonko G. Vranesic and Safwat G. Zary, published by McGraw Hill, contains a very understandable chapter of microcode control. Depending on your background, you may want to read some of the prior chapters first before starting on the microcode one, to get some foundational knowledge.

Do note that the 2nd ed was published in 1984, so finding a copy may be difficult. I do not know how (or even if) the microcode control chapter was updated in subsequent editions.

Of those only CEL was involved in a token sale, and it wasn't an obvious scam at the outset, so the fact that it attracted capital wasn't unreasonable. It had known functionaries, and that meant that they could be arrested later on when it became clear they were engaging in fraud.

Celsius and FTX (FTT) also attracted much of their capital because reputable and established exchanges like Coinbase were prevented by regulatory gatekeeping from providing competing products. The SEC ordered Coinbase to cancel its LEND program that would have competed direct with Celsius for example.

>>but the people being scammed with lambo dreams in 2016 were a fraction of those getting scammed in 2021.

I have no idea what the basis of your claim is. In any case, a proper comparison is to look at what fraction of token sales were fraudulent at the beginning of the token sale era, and at the end of it, in 2018. That tells us whether free market development works to create a progressively better functioning market.
