"Some family of mentally ill individuals believe that the LPS act favors the individual's civil rights too much when weighed against their self-evident need for treatment. It can be very difficult for their family member to be placed on a 5150 hold or on a LPS conservatorship. The LPS Act requires a "grave disability" to provide oneself with food, clothing, or shelter. Thus an individual may indeed be highly symptomatic, displaying paranoia, delusions, mania, etc., but if he or she can present a cogent plan to care for food, clothing, and shelter, he or she may very well be released from psychiatric care"
I probably paid $20 in organic whole milk retail and a few hours of time for a yield of about $7 worth of mozzarella. The economics likely make more sense for aged cheeses where you can have some value add in your process to make it more notably homemade. Everything about dairy in Canada is absurd anyway, so you may have better luck elsewhere. Something I can make in sufficient quantities to age and enjoy over a longer period would make the afternoon more worthwhile, imo.

Good and accurate comment.

Worth mentioning that one can also go to pharma manufacturing and trade shows in China and discuss bespoke bulk synthesis deals and leave with free sample bags of uncapsuled high grade perscription drugs with a "to US patient on US soil" value of tens of thousands of US dollars.
Doesn’t matter how good a car is. The question is if they can pass all the necessary tests and regulatory certifications, and with import tariffs be competitively priced. It’s a very large barrier, which is why when a foreign car company places its flag in America (see Hyundai, Toyota, etc.) it’s a big deal because they are going to be investing many billions in advertising, dealership networks, lobbying, and so on. And they need to sustain it for a decade at least.

A shelter is generally a place that you go to overnight, where you can't keep your stuff, you have to be out early in the morning and come back at a strict time in the afternoon or evening. Very different than an asylum which provides 24 hour care. Also, there are many homeless families (shelters don't serve them that well), but when it comes to mental illness it's not usually a family thing.

> how can we provide a mutual exclusion mechanism on the bare hardware?

This is a bit misleading. It's easier to provide mutual exclusion on bare hardware than in an OS; just do a spinlock, except with modern ISAs the core doesn't even spin.

Presumably core doesn't offer this because it's a massive footgun for devs new to multithreading who would not understand why this is unacceptable to use in an OS-hosted process.
The 1980s story around the closure of institutional behavioral health institutions was that the people in need of care would have that care delivered in the community.

If you look around, you’ll find a dearth of facilities in the community that can handle mentally ill, mentally disabled, and addicted people.

The expenses you reference are mostly Medicaid growth, of which a relatively small proportion is mental health related.
I didn't know about the pigs. That was interesting.

I've never understood paying farmers to not produce. But, it still happens today. Through decades of Republican and Democratic administrations, we still pay farmers to not produce. And we pay oil companies welfare, not sure why we pay them anything. The government is always trying to balance the economy and subsidize some industries more than others (again, the gray area on which is the right thing to subsidize).

Not sure we are dissagreeing. You don't seem to be against regulations on a market in general, just not these regulations. Markets are artificial to begin with, there is no such thing as a 'free market' without some organizing effort that people call 'regulations'. How free does it have to be, in 1900's there were private armies, do we go back to that much freedom.

I tend to think the Gov should step in on in-elastic markets. Sure, 'free markets' are great when there is competition for something like a TV. But not great when there is a monopoly on insulin.

That is why health care free markets don't work. When you are having a heart attach you aren't shopping around for a bargain price.

Anyway, I think we diverged a lot from original post. I don't necessarily disagree with 'classical' economics. But those are a long way from modern right wing propaganda on 'free markets' which I thought the thread had gone to. So when someone suddenly starts talking about real 'markets', have to re-calibrate.
Absolutely this. The burden of proof here is on people proposing some kind of happy regulated system to prove that we are in any way as a society capable of building those systems. And it's not just that mental health and inpatient care in the US is under-regulated, under-funded, and abusable -- our society still has debates about mental health and still suffers from widespread stigmatization of people with mental health issues. We have not shaken off the social attitudes and beliefs that led to the original widespread abuse within asylums.

If someone is proposing forced asylums you have got to grapple with the fact that Florida legislature considers being transgender a mental disorder and that Florida is fully willing to try and weaponize social services and child protective services to attack families with transgender members. You can't just gloss over that, you have to understand how a state like Florida will immediately try to weaponize an expanded system of forced asylums.

"We'll just have strong standards that prevent abuse" -- how? A nontrivial number of states right now are actively trying to use medical standards to oppress or eliminate a minority group. I'm sure Texas is going to have great standards on when the State can lock someone in an asylum. /s

Well yes I obviously need the power to tow my groceries home.

How I paid bills in Thailand:

2. I scan the QR code with my phone.
3. Message comes up from my bank saying, "You want to pay 413 ฿ for your power?"
4. I tap yes. Bill is paid.

Apart from autopay (mentioned by someone else) it doesn't get simpler than that.
Actually it's about ROI.

Larger blueberries weigh more and so there is selective pressure and growing preferences which lead to large watery tasteless but heavy berries as the preference for crop outcomes.

You're defining intelligence as a moral good. That is not part of its definition. So your criticism is misplaced. The conventional measures of intelligence are perfectly appropriate, as they are not seeking to determine what traits have the most universal utility, i.e. are the most morally good.
I have direct experience with this.

The police and emergency responders can be called, but are unable to take any action to help a clearly mentally ill individual unless they are a danger to themselves and others. The same is true for doctors/hospitals/emergency rooms.

It is common for an individual to have 20 or 30 public service calls before they are admitted and start to receive guided treatment. Even individuals with caring and attentive families can and will fail to be treated, with damage to their mental state, or at a minimum long costly delays to their recovery.

A dynamically linked library need only have one image of itself in memory.

If you are running a process that, for example, forks 128 of itself, do you want every library it uses to have a separate copy of that library in memory?

That's probably the biggest benefit. But it also speeds up load time if your executable doesn't have to load a huge memory image when it starts up, but can link to an already in-memory image of its library(s).

The only real downside is exporting your executable into another environment where the various dynamic library versions might cause a problem. For that we have Docker these days. Just ship the entire package.
A friend and coworker of mine went to work for shopify in support. He was the engine behind two amazing support teams at the companies we worked at, and he was so excited and optimistic to take on that task at shopify.

He’s so over it now. He hasn’t been affected by layoffs but deeply wished he was, because it would give him the financial mobility to make a change. He has expressed that the support they offer has deteriorated dramatically since he started, and I’ve wondered how much that’s his own dissatisfaction vs reality… But what I’m reading suggests he’s probably on point. It seems pretty bad.
Amen. I also work[ed] in video games, and this rings very true to me. Git worked well enough for the programmers, but when you're dealing with artists, producers, designers, writers, audio engineers all needing to share work on assets that are also tied to specific versions of source, Git falls apart.

One studio I was at actually had a custom VCS that was a combination of SVN + homebrew asset versioning that worked decently well. By that I mean we all hated the shit out of having to use it, but it worked better than most anything we could get our hands on at the time for a reasonable price.
A centralized closed source file sharing network seems wildly "trust us" in 2023. Am I missing something? (yes, I see there is an OSS client)
The situation on windows is fascinating: everyone links these libraries dynamically, and yet, there are about two hundred of them on my system, every application using its own uniquely outdated version.

The law was not changed to reduce heating temperatures since you can regulate temperature yourself. The law defines a minimal temperature that needs to be reached, otherwise you are entitled to have the heating fixed or get your rent reduced. This minimum was reduced. Ironically this helped my neighbor finally get her heating fixed since she realized she can complain about this to her landlord and they fixed it fast once she did that.

Again, coal use is at a historic minimum and this is easy to find. Here is the chart for electricity production until 2022 [1] and here is the data for the first half of this year [2]:

> The electricity production from lignite was down 21 percent, hard coal was down 23 percent, natural gas was down 4 percent, and nuclear declined by 57 percent, compared to 2022 values.

As far as I know heating with coal is negligible.

I don't get your point about renewables - their expansion has been on a basically exponential curve, but the starting point was practically zero. The world is installing massive amounts and will continue to do so - Germany played a large role in that.

You cannot interpret people's meaning however you want. If someone wants to "bring back asylums" it's entirely possible (and from the context here, very likely) that they want to bring "back" a version of asylums that never technically existed, but nevertheless both this new thing and the old thing are in the "asylums" category.
In the sense of those terms which we use while moderating this site, it was all of those things. I could also have added:

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

and

"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. 'That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3' can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

My point wasn't that an actual password manager would be easier. My point was that a text document on the computer would be as easy/easier to keep track of than a piece of paper.

It might reasonably be argued that it's less secure, since it's pretty hard to hack an air-gapped sheet of paper. But it's not harder to use.

When I was using Redmine I found a great plugin for Sublime Text 3 that could navigate, update and add tickets much more easily than the UI: https://github.com/tosher/Redlime.

Be careful extrapolating macro scale effects into the micro scale. GDP is a function of a huge number of things and its correlation with positive outcomes doesn’t mean everything that boosts GDP is a net positive. Many forms of economic inefficiency end up boosting GDP.
Simply incorrect. The market doesn't want that, you don't want. You, and most others, want a $99 drill. A $99 drill doesn't support your fantasy wages.
As the Hackaday piece says, the TV Typewriter was given to the world by the recently departed Don Lancaster:

My dad built one of Lancaster's TV Typewriters back in the '70s for a black & white TV studio system. It was a huge improvement in speed and correctibility for static onscreen text overlayed on the video output, when previously it was done with physical hardware and chroma key using white letters on a black background.

What good are solar panels without tech to use them; what are the panels for?

Heating and cooling?
I bought a top of the line Hellcat last year and part of me almost didn't want to drive it. That's because right after I purchased they announced they were ending production and switching to the electric models only. So I assume my car will significantly appreciate in value.

Then my car got stolen this year. Thankfully the police were able to recover it but I've heard that thieves are targeting these cars to fill overseas demand.

If you do purchase one make sure to pay for GPS trackers, Sirus XM, etc. and hope you live in an area with a police force that cares enough to track it down.
> In a few years, the WSJ will be advocating locking up people they don't like

Okay but if we need to fear the opinion of the WSJ, we're already screwed. What's stopping them from advocating for locking up people they don't like right now? How does the existence of asylums suddenly turn this frightening power of mind-control that you seem to imply that the WSJ has into a real threat?
If look more closely, you'll see that that's quite untrue.
That’s fair. Though to be clear the following are covered:

* Family doctor or clinic visits for mental health
* Psychiatrist visits
* In most provinces, medications

Talk therapy through a psychologist is what is generally not covered outside of work insurance. That’s a big gap, but also not quite right to say “not covered at all”.
Is the name WASTE a reference to Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49?
Sure.

But a reminder that this didn't happen by accident. Capital went in search of cheap labor, to increase profits. The cheap(er) labor wasn't in the USA.

We let capital do this. We loosened capital flow rules, we loosened profit repatriation rules, we reduced or eliminated tariffs.

That's not to say that Chinese/Asian companies would never have gotten good at doing this on their own. But the situation we are actually is not really a result of their excellence and/or costs - it's because we elected political representatives who allowed the capital class to fuck us over, and so they did.
Why does society need a cheap throwaway tool?

Because, I'm a consumer, who needs a screwdriver maybe every 3 years. I don't care if it's lower quality because i never do more than tighten the hinges on my door frame.

Instead of spending $20 on a top of the line screwdriver, I can spend $3 and it still does everything I need it to.
I responded to you twice already after posting the moderation reply. It's not possible to keep every conversation going—that's nothing personal, nor a function of the topic. It's a function of the unmanageable quantity of material that needs responding to. I wish I could satisfy everyone who wants personal attention and detailed replies, but I only have one me and it's physically impossible.

The comments you linked to were unsubstantive and provocative but I don't think they crossed the line at which we would moderate comments, and I don't think they violated the rules nearly as badly as you did in this thread, and also the other commenters who I banned in this thread, who were on the opposite side of the fight from you—which btw led someone else to accuse us of moderating HN in your side's favor. Everyone always thinks the mods are siding with their opponents. In reality we're just siding with HN's rules and trying to prevent the forum from destroying itself.

It's true that you're in a different situation, because your view is a minority one in this forum. HN is a highly international site but it's definitely majority-Western and that means Western views, Western reports, and Western media are the main things represented here. People in minority situations often get so frustrated that they lash out, break the rules, and behave so aggressively that we end up having no choice but to ban them. At that point they usually feel that they've been banned because of their minority views—but that's not so*. It's because they've been breaking the rules, often very badly and frequently.

The solution would be to represent your minority views respectfully, understanding that you're talking to a majority that has vastly different assumptions and can't easily relate to what you're saying, and to take responsibility yourself for bridging the gap. It's true that that puts extra pressure on the minority, and arguably that's unfair, but it's still in your interest to take that responsibility. If you don't, i.e. if you lose your cool, lash out bitterly and so on, all you do is give the majority a fresh reason to be sure of their own correctness. You become the 'bad' one confirming the righteousness of the 'good' ones, who of course don't notice when they themselves behave badly.

p.s. before someone accuses me of taking the wrong side in this war: I've been making this argument for many years to users representing any minority view on HN, on a wide range of topics.

* (We try to protect minorities here, of all sorts, on all topics—not because we agree with them but because it's better for the forum to have a diverse range of views represented.)
You absolutely see this in insular communities - lots of attempts to hide abuses or family politics that led to a suicide, by hiding it behind accidental death of some kind.
One reason devs work a lot more is that getting paid more causes you to work more, not less, because you miss out more by not working.

(This is why two income families are a sign of high wages more than poverty. And that both of you have relatively equal earning power of course.)
File Transfer: https://xkcd.com/949/
If something goes really badly, and someone wants to try it again, the natural questions to ask that person are:

* What do you think are the reasons why it went badly last time?

* What are you proposing we do differently?

* Are you sure that they weren't already doing that last time?

* How do you think that this change would avoid things going badly again?

Could you explicitly answer those questions? Maybe I'm just bad at reading, but so far, all I can get out of your comments is that we should "make reasonable rules and follow them", but I assume that's what people thought they were doing last time, too...
The opposite of something that is not working is not necessarily something that is working.

EasyGraph: A Comprehensive Tool for Graph Analysis and Social Computing
EasyGraph is an open-source graph computing package based on the Python language, developed by the MSN team at Fudan University. It is the first library to include a comprehensive set of structural hole spanner detection methods, while also covering graph embedding and other traditional graph computing methods. EasyGraph fixes weak links in the field of social networks in existing graph analysis open-source libraries such as igraph and NetworkX. Additionally, it leverages hybrid programming and parallel computing to enhance its runtime efficiency.
