I’ve always viewed it that replays keep their face in the public arena disrupting privacy. If you film something 20 years ago, and then all of a sudden it becomes hugely popular again via streaming you will also be propelled back into the public arena which can have negative effects on your life (unable to go out without paparazzi, interference from strangers etc).
What's the net worth of the film and TV studios, their executives, and their major shareholders?

Famous actors can use their fame to highlight the issue, and that's how it becomes a news story, but the issue affects all actors, especially the ones who are not rich and famous. They won't get their names in a news story.

I've seen that too. Especially in situations where a team has specialized skills, and are not easily replaceable. If you treat them as subordinates instead of peers who need direction on the big picture (and reminders that profit has to be balanced with cool work ideas), then you will sink the ship. But what I usually see happen is someone else in management sees what is going on and gives them a silent demotion with pay. They get sidelined before they cause too much damage amd everyone just ignores them until they mess up bad enough to let go without worrying about a lawsuit.
Military infrastructure isn't always as well-engineered as it should be all the time. It can be very costly and time consuming to deploy new encryption keys, especially for technologies like radios. It's not as simple as deploying a configuration file or running `ssh-keygen` and publishing a few artifacts. Many devices need to be rekeyed by hand, which can be labor intensive depending on the size of the inventory. Additionally, sometimes new hardware needs to be hand-delivered to the appropriate organizations for keys to function.

I think a lot of people are overgeneralizing the dynamics of urban poverty from what they have observed in the last decade of home ownership trends, but affluent white flight from cities only really ended in the mid-00s-2010s (for some cities) and there are plenty of significant poor populations near urban cores able to remain because it's either where section 8 housing was built or by rent control.

They just take public transit or walk. Not biking.

"Interface evolves toward transparency. The one you have to devote the least conscious effort to, survives, prospers.

The real cyborg, the global organism, is so splendidly invasive that these things already seem medieval." -Gibson

Grade school is less a place for learning as it is a socialization experiment. Did you actually advance your level in any subject during grade school? Did your kid advance above their grade because of the grades that came before it? What's the utility in the school servicing your special child's aptitude when the school had nothing to do with either their current level or the lack of others'? But there are advanced level classes in some cases
Agree, but I don't like the framing of "accelerating." Math in school is for the median student. If you want a quantitative career or just want to have quantitative skills, you should be aiming for way above median. Aiming for median outcomes makes zero sense in the current world. Find your niche and hit it hard.

Kids intuitively understand this -- they like doing what they're good at. Unfortunately, most schools are not good at serving this need. A very important part of being a parent is to encourage kids to start compounding positive habits/learning early, and to prevent the schools from dragging them back to the median.

I run a similar open source app specifically for my little community in Gary, IN https://millerbeach.community and run a RAMP monitor provided by a local company Sensit Technologies, and a PurpleAir II and have about ~4 years worth of data in 15 min intervals.

Yes, but I think you're being too strict with the definition of draft. It is not "draft" as in "first draft of my paper" it is "draft" as in "we submitted this to journal/conference and are just making widely available" or "here's the same copy that is behind a paywall, fuck jstor."

There's a reason most papers that end up in journals or conferences don't get a revision, or if they do only get minor ones. In general it is the same exact work which got sent to a journal or conference. So that is either the final draft or near. I do not want people to confuse this with "early" or "first" draft.

The history of arxiv is a few physicists getting annoyed that, like many of their peers, that sending per-prints (papers awaiting review by a journal) by email was burdensome. This was about just making access easier. It was about literally making peer review easier. Because let's be real, your colleagues reading your work closely is better review by peers than a few random people who are annoyed about having to review and know it is easy to just dismiss and reject.

This guy went to prison for a year and 2 months, for not disclosing his Facebook password: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-45365464

He was accused of murder. Ultimately, he was found guilty and sentenced to 33 years: https://www.hampshire.police.uk/news/hampshire/news/news/201...

And then there's the other direction, which I must confess I thought would have involved the RIP Act but ultimately didn't, instead it used anti-terrorism legislation.

A French employee of radical French publishing house that the French government is very cross with, arrived in Britain for a book fair. He was arrested and held for 24 hours using anti-terror legislation. The cops also confiscated his phone and laptop, and held onto them for more than 10 weeks, and they threatened him "with never being able to travel overseas if he failed to hand over a password to his confiscated iPhone and MacBook": https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jul/21/police-watch...

The general concern is that France is not allowed to do that, so asked Britain to do it for them, and Britain did it. There wasn't even a hint that he'd broken the law in Britain, and all that was wanted was for the French government to get ahold of the contents of his phone and laptop. Perhaps this is the only reason (that they had absolutely nothing on him) that they didn't twist the knife and use the RIP Act to imprison him simply for not unlocking his devices for them: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/apr/19/french-publi...
Looks very nicely thought out.
really?

Tokyo is very oriented towards pedestrian traffic, considering shinkansen and most rail service - yet satellite suburban sites, like Saitama, etc have tiny residential rows that literally don't fit both a car and a pedestrian. And that's where most people live. Yet Japan is highly pedestrian.

Now, South America. Most if not all urban centers of 1M are extremely well covered by bus networks. And they have to, since most of the population cannot afford a car. However, the moment you step off the old city centers, you are literally walking on the main road, sharing space with speeding cards and buses driving like maniacs. You will often find a major road has literally no sidewalk, only dirt, weeds and sewage.

Compared to those situations, the US is a walking paradise.

The problem of distance is very different from the problem of safety and confort in the US
> How would you compare the whole chain of command thing?

Not op, but…

It depends on how “ex” this vet was and what his MOS was. Specifically:

1. A lot of modern military leadership (esp. in the battlefield) is about giving the folks on the frontlines (figuratively and literally) the information and autonomy they need to make the best decisions for the mission. Some older vets may not have experienced this shift.

2. Some MOSes lend themselves to a strict hierarchy and SOPs, often because it’s just prudent for the job at hand. Others are not as highly structured.
Even per capita of bike riding vs. car riding, the deaths from drivers are disproportionate.

> bikers aren't routinely failing to yield to pedestrians

I didn't say that, I think it is true. That said, I also think pedestrians sometimes have an expectation that a biker would yield in a place where they wouldn't even try with a car (ie. crossing the road between two vehicles into the bike lane).
I'm curious what the rates of walking are in Sacramento now, given that it's got that whole "City of Trees" moniker and is also hot as Hell during the summer. I've honestly never been there in the summer, so I couldn't even share anecdotes. I'm not finding anything useful on Google.

What you say makes sense, when I walk in my own (new-ish development) neighborhood in Orange county, I specifically go to the areas where trees are more developed and provide more shade.
Encryption respects no authority...

Not true. They were definitely intended to plow right through cities. That’s why they built highways/freeways right through urban cores, or planned entire metro regions around them.
> Yes, but a more important function of debate in school is to expose people to new ideas and to question assumptions.

While this is definitely the overall goal of teaching debate, it's not clear to me this is actually how policy debate in school should operate in order to teach that. For one thing, I think other events (congressional is more persuasive and iterative, group discussion more freeform and collaborative, L-D more moralistic) have the potential to do this better. Policy's structure is really meant to force you to defend an evidence-based position in depth. Basically inherent the format is that at least 50% of the time you won't agree with it.

Another way to think about it is that up till now, if you had subscribed to The Atlantic, you would have got him + a bunch of other writers in the bundle. To me, what the a-la-carte model has revealed is what media-savvy people had always said it would reveal: a bunch of individual writers who all want me to pay $70 a year to get their periodic newsletter updates.

"If only my five favorites would get together and do something collectively, I'd pay $100 a year," I thought to myself. "And I'd bet they'd get vastly more subscribers and come out way ahead."

Whoever said there are only two business models, bundling and un-bundling, seems to be right, as far as I can tell. I'm looking forward to the next bundling cycle.
Yes that's a good point.

It probably makes sense to put it on a separate WiFi network (or a guest network) if access to the monitor is possible for unauthorized persons.
I think your comment was fair; you also want them to learn when to bring a gun! I also wholly agree with you that the article's case as presented is quite weak. I read it hoping to learn some kind of actual radicalization of policy debate was happening, not the same pro-K vs. anti-K retread we had 25 years ago but with artificial woke/anti-woke flavor. The author did not develop the ability to frame their arguments in a clear way so that even those who disagree can engage with the ideas therein. (Which itself is maybe the best argument against my defense of policy debate; well, that's also why I left it my senior year in favor of other events...)
It did come out snarky but that wasn't my intention. I'm one of those who vote for "socialist ideas" and I'm also one of those who disagree that "communism is a different matter".
It's become increasingly difficult to avoid systemd, making Slackware one of the few remaining reasonable options for that.

> The thing is, purely out of context, I'd be inclined to agree. Roads are for cars, it's just that roads shouldn't be the only way to get to places.

If roads are for cars, then you will have no problems with abolishing people being inside of them while they drive on your sacred car only roads?

> Add more walking and cycling paths and bikes/pedestrians won't have to use the roads.

Add them where? Because in your scenario it's either cars or pedestrians and guess who have better lobbyists?
It's an important point that Twitter's main relevance comes out of its relationship with the press. That is, if there was some famous incident on Twitter you are much more likely to have read about it in the press than actually having participated in it.
This is cool! Didn't know
you're not exactly making a good faith argument here [0] but sure i'll play ball

i'll ignore the infrastructure costs, it's free to drive on I-5 after all. an N700S costs about $50M and holds 1300 people. amortized over 30 years, you're looking at say $3M/year including a very generous maintenance budget. i'll throw in another $0.5M/year for misc personnel costs (driver, station staff).

even if you ran only a single weekday peak hour round trip per trainset with tickets priced at $20 one way, revenue would be about $13M/year. so you could charge $10 for tickets, follow american "best practices" of running only peak service and idling your expensive rolling stock for the rest of the day and still make ends meet.

in reality, the infra would be built following best practices to bring the runtime between portland and seattle to just under an hour[1]. this facilitates an hourly takt. running short turns between portland and seattle each trainset would make 5-8 round trips a day, which even with low occupancy factors is still tremendously profitable.

[0] see the other comment where you say that "transit dorks" never talk about how much things cost. "transit dorks" are _obsessed_ with how much things cost. alon levy, who is by all accounts one of the more influential voices in internet transit world these days has a multi year project in collaboration with several other transit activists to find out exactly why transit projects are expensive as they are in the US. not to mention dozens of blog posts analyzing individual projects. Clem Tillier has a site going back 15 years where he publishes very detailed analysis on the bay area portion of the california high speed rail project, its cost overruns and policy driven technical failings. that "transit dorks" don't care about cost is a conclusion you could draw if you only follow reductive normies like alan fisher, but if you uncritically accepted that such sophomoric reddit tier dialogue was the state of the art in transit twitter - well, one would have to really question how much critical thought you've put into your stance on car dependency and EVs.

[1] a route following I-5 is 260km so this is a reasonable assumption.

>Legislation is only as powerful as those enforcing it.

While this is generally true, it doesn't necessarily stop the provisions within the bill being used as a political weapon to wield against someone.

In other words, just because it's generally not used against small fry, doesn't mean it won't be used as a club against a particular small fry that's a thorn in the side of someone politically or judicially connected.

> It turns out that offering urban-level services at suburban density isn't sustainable.

What do you mean by "urban-level services"? If you mean urban-style mass transit, then yes, I agree--and I don't want such services in the suburbs. If I'm going to live in the suburbs, I'm going to own a car and that's how I'm going to expect to get around in the suburbs. If I wanted to live in a place where I could walk or use mass transit to get around for all of my daily activities, I'd live in the city, not the suburbs.

> It turns out urban areas are subsidizing suburbs quite extensively.

No, it turns out that politicians and ideologues who think everybody should live a certain way, are trying to impose that way of living in areas where it makes no sense, and using our tax money to do it. That's not a "subsidy", it's just incompetent leadership. Living in the suburbs, I get zero value from all the public expenditure on mass transit in areas which are too low density for it to make sense. So I would be fine with all those expenditures just stopping altogether.

In fact, such expenditures can have negative value to the very people they are supposed to be helping. In one suburb I lived in, I could drive for about 15 minutes to a commuter parking area and catch a bus that took a half hour to get to a stop within walking distance of my workplace. Then the urban planners decided that it would make more sense to spend public money to extend the subway out to that area and outlaw the bus--meaning that from the same commuter parking area, I would now have an hour's trip to the same stop within walking distance of my workplace, during which I would have to change trains, at a higher per-trip cost than the bus was. Which meant it no longer made sense for me to take mass transit to work.

> car-dependent suburbanites demand access to urban areas

What kind of access? I'm fine with using, say, a train to go into the city if I need to do that. Or parking somewhere on the outskirts of the city and using mass transit to get in further.

> non-car-dependent suburbs do seem to work.

Again, I think this depends on what you call a "suburb". To me, if you're living in an area that has a high enough population density to make street-cars, for example, workable, you're living in a city, not a suburb. If I want more space than such a place can provide me, I'm going to live in a less dense area where mass transit is not workable, and as above, I'm going to own a car.

You have to treat your NCO/officers like humans, but there's no need to care about your joes. Tell joe to get things done and they can't stop until it's done or they get extra duty. If they refuse/complain? Article 15. And no one is going to risk requesting court martial instead of just getting the article 15 so commands have pretty wide latitude to do whatever they want.
