The substance is causing the anti-social behavior though, it’s putting people in a state where they’re not able to control their behavior or reason rationally about how it affects them and the people around them. In such a situation, you cannot just focus on the outcomes, you need to control the inputs as well.
> We've plainly seen

I have not seen that.

> over the past several decades that the War on Drugs is an abject failure.

It was not. WoD helped to _control_ the amount of drugs. It certainly had not eradicated them, but it helped to reduce their prevalence.

Given this poster's history, I would not do that

> If someone wants to get high in their home

That doesn't work in a society in which housing is not guaranteed, and in which almost all "last-resort" housing options (such as shelters) require sobriety. Achieving and maintaining sobriety without stable housing is virtually impossible, and yet somehow society expects everyone to be able to do it and then complains when this doesn't magically happen.

The "tough on crime" mentality says, "well, this should give you an incentive to stop using drugs", except that attitude is completely fantastical: it goes against all clinical evidence of how substance use disorders actually work, and all empirical evidence of what resources a person needs to stop using drugs (assuming that is even the end goal, which is not a given).

To spell it out: if you don't provide housing options for people who use drugs, then you will wind up with homeless people using drugs in public. And criminalizing drug use doesn't change that; it just moves those people "out of sight" to jails and prisons, where they keep using drugs, at a monetary cost to society that is literally orders of magnitude greater than the straightforward option of just giving them housing.
> I’ve never received so many emails commenting my blog posts.

I've always wondered if there's is an easy way to have a pre-moderated, owner-sorted list of comments section.

Emails are private, but sometimes users can say something interesting for others to see. And I don't mind if website owner deletes/edits/down-sorts my comments -- it's their web property.

This article makes a mistake calling RMM0-2 APIs „JSON APIs“. JSON is data format just like HTML, XML or protocol buffers and it can be used both by true REST or RPC APIs. Focus on JSON is indeed what makes this article ineligible for Wikipedia, it’s just the wrong angle to look at the subject.
"how long you think a US company ( or any) can ignore block requests."
- Funny thing is I posted about this issue with cloudflare many moons ago when there quite a few articles boohooing CF - many from euro / uk - protect the children type things.

At the time I suggested that Cf should get ahead of the issue by splitting up the company and the infrastructure - so they could have a CF_UK and a CF_US and CF_Whatever - bifurcating the services as each country and area starts crafting more and more demands.

Big companies often do manage to do business in many parts of the world and have different ways of managing business in one place different than the next.

It's strange how highly controversial web sites can exist with ICAAN not prohibiting domain names, and sites can usually find hosting somewhere - but as soon as you get to DDoS protection, and domain re-registration different places start throwing up morals and panics, refusing services.

Cloudflare got a lot of people using it, and big money investing it by offering to protect the pipes of the net.. they did good for a long time protecting information by staying a neutral pipe.

As I saw the NGO demands that CF grow louder, I assumed legislation would force thier hand to either start blocking when X or Y place asked - not just when DOJ had a court order - and that feild would get murky, meaning they'd have to bifurcate to handle different cultures in different ways eventually..

But it was not courts, it was not new laws. It was the emotions of a single guy that turned big pipes into blockable canals - it was one guy that decided time and time again to start to judge words / pics / information and block things. On a whim, in a knee jerk fashion, without warning - and now no one could know if they are safe when seeking the safety of the open web.

It's a fuzzy needle - what's okay changes on occasion with no fanfare, not committee, no rails. It's their own trivial changes, I assume are controlled by the fbook or twitter feed that CEO gets pushed in his emotes.

So CF is now fair game for all the cancel culture to push around - get the 'right' demanding X thing be blocked - get the left to demand Y thing get blocked - let's enjoy this fun game. Our censor wars got to the point where mural of Washington had to painted over and kids books are banned.

Cf can protect all the PG-13 content of the net from DDoS and be a multi-million dollar company! I guess it could be, there are those who want to remove sesame from the airwaves - it might need protecting.

It can be a big company following all the rules of each country in the world and the extra rules that run the emotions of the main guy and the demands whatever groups that think whatever X should be blocked.
US weapons, US intel, US alliances and organizations... I doubt Russia looks at it and thinks "Oh, OK, the US is totally not involved. They're our friends!"

Scientists once thought they understood domestication. Now, they're not so sure
They didn’t, but the police force stopped enforcing those laws, generally in response to defunding or threats of defunding.

The police forces in these cities are in the majority comprised of individuals who live outside of the city and commute to perform enforcement in an area they don’t want to live in.

This is the difference that never translated between the Black Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter/Thin Blue Line groups: in one, in the majority the enforcers are not and have never been part of the community. In the other, the deputy’s kids go to your elementary school and they volunteer at the pancake breakfast.

Apple worked with Pixar on USZD back in 2018 (making a file format around USD). This initiative is simply making an open consortium to guide the evolution of USD.

Apple has been preparing for the VisionPro for a long time. LIDAR makes zero sense on a smartphone, but was foundational. ARKit was foundational. A lot of their scene technologies were clearly targeting a headset, and smartphones were just a temporary kickoff.

> You have no natural right to a profit at other's expense

Another thing is that the stock market doesn't work here. It promotes shortsighted trading without an eye for long term side effects. In principle shareholders should be accountable too. If you owned stocks of a company that caused damage during the period when that damage occurred, you should be accountable and at least you should not be able to profit from it. The stock market should be retrofitted with an accountability system. This is the only way shareholders will start caring about our future.
Ah, the same old rhetoric of denying economic disparities and systemic challenges that clearly impact workers bargaining power. You seem so eager to downplay the struggles faced by certain individuals, but let's not pretend negotiating a fair wage is a walk in the park.

Sure, you keep harping on about not tricking someone into accepting an unfair wage, but the reality is far from your idealistic view. Many workers, especially those facing economic vulnerabilities, have no choice but to accept whatever is offered, even if it falls short of fair compensation. And don't give me that "transaction never takes place" nonsense, exploitative agreements happen all the time, whether you care to acknowledge it or not. And don't use words like NEVER and FUNDAMENTALLY, unless you think that labor relation between slave and master in slavery period was a fair transaction, do you?

As for your dismissive attitude towards the importance of the labor market's representation of resource allocation, it just shows your lack of understanding. While it might not fit neatly into your narrow worldview, it's crucial to recognize the market's influence on labor value and the allocation of resources. Don't believe me? Here, educate yourself by reading these two reports from OECD and ILO with data and sources to research:

https://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/---ed_norm/---relco...

https://one.oecd.org/document/DAF/COMP/WD(2019)43/en/pdf

Things like economic disparities and systemic challenges in context of labor that I mentioned so many times and that you dismissed are discussed there and supported by data.

And don't even get me started on your skewed perception of scarcity. Yes, supply and demand play a role, but that doesn't negate the fact that unfair practices can still arise, leaving workers struggling while companies rake in massive profits. But I guess it's too much for you to grasp that concept.

You keep going in circles, pointing fingers at the initial comment as if it's some holy truth. Well, newsflash: discussions evolve, and we're addressing a broader issue here. If you can't keep up and insist on your one-track mind, then by all means, spare us your pointless circles and let those who are genuinely interested in understanding the complexities have a meaningful conversation.
The World Wide Web is a smashing success of HATEOS and REST, properly understood.
Alcohol use exerts enormous tax on society which chose to tolerate it for historical adoption reasons. Adding hard drugs is going to exacerbate the situation, and a number of those are worse than alcohol by any metric imaginable.
Google is not thinking about ad blockers at all here.

The first example in the WEI doc is enforcing that ads are viewed by humans: https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/...
Discoverability for the kind of content I want to see is completely broken. I can barely find anything on the web anymore. Google gives me Reddit, Facebook and a million crappy review sites.
I think it's also basically useless for user interfaces.

The purpose of HATEOAS seems to be to provide web crawling clients (human or otherwise) visibility of the arbitrary actions/links that a particular endpoint provides in a particular state - but the links are disconnected from their context and intended interaction with the page. HATEOAS doesn't seem to acknowledge that a UI needs to provide context for user actions, or that API integrations are designed up front with full knowledge of the API contract .

It seems to me the only thing HATEOAS is useful for is browsing black and white pages with a bunch of blue and purple links. Or maybe SEO
The legal pot industry’s problem is that it’s a legal no-man’s-land because pot is actually illegal at a federal level but states just ignore it and the government ignores them ignoring it. It should be legalized at a federal level because that’s already true de facto

5 years of litigation: Meta apparently switches to consent for behavioral ads
Of course I wouldn't pick it just because someone likes it, but it's still... data. Data that I'll combine with other sources of data. It provides a small but non-zero amount of weight to one side. Aka it is not useless. If you see patterns in people's unjustified recommendations, it starts to be a lot more than non-zero.

Your take appears to be: "for an idiot reader who will do exactly what they're told, this information is useless". Well! The readers aren't idiots. Easy.
It's basically the sovereign citizen movement, but judges and politicians take it seriously because it enriches them and their cohort and friends and family and economic class.

If you gently poisoned millions of people, entirely on accident, as a private citizen, you would never see the outside of a prison. If you incorporate and claim it's a standard part of your business, you won't even lose your private mansion. Judges have significant leeway in piercing the corporate veil and depriving bad actors of their ill gotten gains, but they don't. The US DOJ has significant leeway to go after companies aggressively and really push for seizing assets of criminals, a cop literally doesn't even need a real justification to do it, but they haven't since Enron.

We've had forty years of the only "punishment" for doing anything wrong as a company being a 1% of ill gotten gains fine, even though none of the actual underlying laws have changed to cause this reduction in punishment. This has been an entirely internal choice. Of course this results in companies largely not giving a fuck about anything that isn't profit.
> US attracts talents because there's much more money in US than elsewhere and the political and bureaucratic environment favors entrepreneurship.

I agree. The attitude towards immigrants doesn't seem to affect how well they do anyway. The opportunities matter much more than anything else.
> do u have any sort of logging structure for organizing your thoughts?

Yep, I almost always carry around a little black book of blank, gridded note paper in my back pocket (because quickly jotting a note on paper is somehow better for me than running an app).

I also use OneNote on my laptops/desktops to organize my jotted notes. I use OneNote because it's always been "free" to me because it's included in MS Office. I've also heard that Notion is good and maybe better. One essential feature of any note organization system for me is that it must be structured, meaning I can collapse/expand one line notes into larger sections with sub-sections and that this nests recursively.

If everything is visible at once it quickly gets overwhelming so I need to layer it into a structure that makes sense to me.
In addition to siblings notes, we need to assume that a large chunk of AI generated content will be generated by bad faith actors using custom implementations. If you're generating a lot of images, it's going to be cheaper to run your own infrastructure.

Also, many digital asset management pipelines are homebrew hacks built into bespoke CMSs and are terrible at maintaining metadata.

> The one difference though between alcohol and some of the drugs is potency and how quickly one can be addicted to it.

This is a good point.

If I go to the liquor store, I can buy bottles that are 90% alcohol or bottles as low as 3% alcohol.

If we legalize "hard" drugs like opiates, meth, etc. then we'll get a similar differentiation along with the benefit that the drugs will be checked by Trusted Sources (both government and industry) to effectively eliminate certain adulterants.

And for the folks who become addicts (physically or psychologically), there's no legal risk in telling their doctor or therapist or anyone, and they can better enter treatment.

There are folks who drink 750ml (~24oz) of 40% liquor every day. It's rare but they have an addiction. They can also get treatment, while the rest of us enjoy 5% beers and 13% wines more moderately.

> Thanks to the power efficiency of Apple Silicon, the M1 Mac mini was the perfect hardware to test out PoE, as on idle, the device only consumes 6W. When some load is applied to the internals, that power draw can go up to 40W. After some thorough research, we found out that the maximum throughput of Power over Ethernet was 15.4W and that too over varying voltages, which are details that Ivan had left out when showing off his findings on Twitter.

The last sentence has enough typos that I'm not able to follow what they're trying to say. What happens when the machine requires more than 15.4W? If the thing isn't actually usable or stable in real-world scenarios, this becomes a lot less exciting.

It'd also be more interesting if the full components list of what was added to the inside of the machine to make this possible was shared.

Edit: Thanks to @ravetcofx for revealing how more power can be delivered over PoE https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36962808
> Policing language sounds a bit Orwellian (insert doublespeak quote).

And that only applies to criticizing phrases like "killing it", without even demanding it to not be used -- but not to bringing out Nineteen-Eightyfour? And doublespeak? No, doublethink means holding two contradictory things to be true at the same time, doublespeak is the verbalization of that. You're thinking of wrongthink, and either way you are doing what you criticize. Instead of saying "this is horrible" you say "this is dystopian", it changes nothing.

More importantly, your reply contains nothing specifically applying to my comment. Maybe you missed the point, which is that people delude themselves to compensate their lack of agency, being restricted to partake in a rat race that will leave them empty-handed in the end -- all of which Hannah Arendt explains in the context, but I didn't want to post a wall of text. That they don't actually mean what they say, because what they mean (and do) would be to pitiful to say without such flourish, and that they aren't actually violent and powerful, but "poor meek little fellows", is precisely the point.
I think getting out and leaving the car is the only way to fully reboot the car. There have been other issues where restarting the MCU (main screen) is insufficient. But I would think there would be a button in the UI to do a full reboot. But maybe they don’t want you in the car while that happens.

One thing that is fun is how the car is still drivable (and Autopilot/FSD still functions) when the main screen is force rebooted while driving. The Autopilot and car computer are separate from the actual UI computer. So you can be mid reboot while the car is autonomously changing lanes, but the turn signal sound effect isn’t playing because it goes through the audio system which is rebooting. Good for safety that it works this way and doesn’t just stop driving, but can be quite an adventure.
>I am not sure how much safer can Fentanyl get

Proper labeling/packaging would make it easier to know what dose you're taking. I believe many overdose deaths were blamed on fentanyl added to heroin, where the user was expecting just heroin.

(I don't know how true my memory is of those initial news articles about fentanyl overdoses in the early 10s)
I'd love this here in Seattle. I am not against modern home design with its excellent safety features and efficient usage of available land, but boy am I tired of the 'contemporary' aesthetic consuming every plot of land that comes up for sale.

They'll have to bump it up to 802.3bt (Poe ++) which can support 60W.

Cool Project though, I've been wanting to mod my Mac Mini m1 to run off USB-C PD which should be possible with modification because it uses the same PD IC as the Macbooks (CD3217) which could mean I could get it to eventually run off of a battery pack

JSON is fine too, if it carries the same semantic information.
I have suffered tremendously from the drug use of family and friends. Way too much attention and undeserved sympathy is given to drug users while basically nothing at all to the people around them whose lives they derail for no fault of their own.

As far as what to do, half of this is cultural. People in the US need to grow up, we can’t have a nation of people who require perpetual care of their community, there just aren’t enough “adults” to go around anymore. The US is super rich compared even to other “first world”/G20 countries, even so-called poor people in the US have US dollars to get drugs smuggled to them, creating endless human misery outside the country as well as in.
