Measure 110 (and the Republican platform on drugs, for that matter) assumes that rehabilitation and punishment cannot coexist for petty drug crimes. I believe they can.

As the article mentions, Measure 110 specifically prohibits recepients of funding from requiring abstinence in their programs. I'm not a psychologist, but it's probably a lot harder to get people to stop doing drugs if you aren't allowed to tell them to stop doing drugs. Hard drugs have to be seen in a negative light in the social zeitgeist, period.

On the other hand, the sheriff's quote basically says "we don't think these rehab programs will work, so we aren't going to give tickets to drug users." That's just as counterproductive as anti-abstinence.

The criminal-justice reform side of Measure 110 is pretty good. Small amounts of drugs shouldn't be punishable with incarceration or huge fines. IMO the asinine rules for rehab programs, and the broken bureaucracy surrounding them, seem like a good place to start.
Yep, we entirely agree.
I think what you describe (honest ranking + relevant and contextual supports) is part of that framework. Heroin requires different supports than marijuana.

And I think a big part of legalization is an emergent social aspect. Government legalization of marijuana in Canada has meant that my father has actually had real conversations about the drug instead of just treating it as evil. He's now open to using it for treatment of pain or as a means of 'relaxation'. His peers/friends are also in that group. Nothing about the drugs abilities has changed -- just his perception and ability to speak openly in his social circles.
Downgrading from a AAA rating to a AA+ rating sounds like the least advantageous from a game theory perspective as well.

The only problem is - it works well. Websites get you invested before sigup on purpose to increase their conversion rate. I'm afraid it's gonna fall on deaf ears.
model s - I would agree with you. It has a weird but better design.

model 3 - they cheaped out this car. the manual release is non-obvious. I don't think there is a manual release for the rear doors.

There is so much corner cutting with the model 3.

I rented a model 3 recently and they gave me a keycard as a key. I could not figure out how to lock the car door.

I eventually googled it, and then locked the door, and got out. Only to find it didn't stay locked and have the door open while locking it.
I’m extremely confused why people claiming to make (or corroborate) a massive scientific discovery are using potatoes to film their evidence.
Maybe consult the very first paragraph of the article you cited.
I couldn't really process your comment because you rounded up to 30. It got me thinking, there was such a huge gulf between 1993 and 1996, at least for me. 1993: derping DOS on a 386; 1996: Windows 95, Quake, dialup, the Web. The pace of change might seem rapid these days, but the 90s were insane fast.
Not dissimilarly, the EU has over the years been famous for absolutely last-minute agreements.

This is a fascinating view on the sedative crisis. The lack of shame from "normal" people feels very real. Complete inaction to the staggering and ever increasing death count rate and bodies piling on the ground IS utterly shameful, but not for 2023 USA.

I've noticed as well that when I've spoke to friends and family about open drug use and markets I become the one who's "out of line."

Do we as a free society have no shame left to express?

I think efforts like this are awesome and I hope to see more in the future, but sometimes I wonder if some for-profit entity will swoop in and yoink all of the hard work these wholesome researchers have put out there for free.

> The USA and a few other cultures have unfortunately devalued shame to the point where it holds nearly no cultural power.

Wait, are you talking about "personal" shame, or "corporate" shame. Cause if anything, corporations have none, and people are *learning* to also have no shame. Doesnt get you anything. Just makes you feel bad for no good reason, cause others are pointing a finger at you.

> Shame is an important aspect of behaviour moderation, a negative emotion usefully experienced when doing something that breaks the social contract.

Simply put: fuck the social contract. I didn't sign it. It doesnt get me any benefits, and all it is a whole lot of "costs", all of which are ill defined.

So, no.

> Devaluing shame instad of targeting the parts of the contract that needed to be changed has cost us a critical tool for self moderation and has created a significant subclass of infantile or openly hostile actors.

Being my username, a "pierat", has actually gotten me standing in communities. I democratize content access to the low common denominator of 0. I help others get the content they need or want. Im doing a lot better than capitalists slapping bills on access to everything... even if it does actually cost me money.

We already are. Its not like anything I can do will affect that. I mean, whoop-te-doo, I make a pile of votes for even worse sycophantic leeches than myself every 2 years. And being in the "other party's state" (I mean, does it really matter?) my votes are effectively wasted. But it costs me 15 minutes.
I understood that the buttons on the women were reversed to make it easier for the maid to handle them (rich women did not dress themselves). Not that men and women dress or undress each other, lol. Anyway, this theme of reverse buttoning has featured in a number of murder mysteries and now I know why.

Ah, so it isn't so much that they don't need to be entangled, so much as, describing them as entangled isn't a good way to frame it, because all the electrons (and the rest of the material) will be all entangled with each-other, so, it isn't a distinguishing feature, and misleading to focus on the two in the pair being entangled?
I am surprised it isn't a requirement for all doors to have an obvious, unhidden, mechanical release to meet compliance for road safety.

toggle-able childlock disable/enable levers exist in the doors to prevent doors from being opened as a "tuning", but that does not negate the (to me) requirement for a door to have a mechanical opener, disabled or not.

(this only applies to the "rear doors don't have one" and "its there but non-obvious" cases)
It is a not solely a two party game with the only outcome a win. It's connected to the economic health of the entire country and likely the rest of the world. Businesses make plans based on future expectations; when Congressional idiot posturing creates uncertainty, this requires planning for volatility, which imposes a cost on every transaction, lending rate, and plan.

The incentive is showing up here. Lose a little rating, it's harder to rotate national debt, and suddenly the ~10% of the budget used to service the debt balloons to 50% as borrowing rates increase. This would be a catastrophe.

That is the "game" being played.

The reason the public isn't outraged is because they don't understand these connections
Yep - the fact that they listed this at the very top of the reasons above any kind of debt or spending numbers is pretty telling.

And they're not wrong
For me, this feels worse than wikipedia using JSON as an example.

JSON isn't a great HTMl representation, and the wikipedia examples are definitely missing details about how the underlying API is used. But extremely simple HTML just feels worse.

Both pages use a bank account as the example, but my actual bank account has dozens of actions available and is certainly modeled in a way that wouldn't be intuitive for people. Which means we've got an example that isn't easily parseable by computers, because we have mixed labels and data in the HTML, and isn't useful for human beings due to how complex real world entities are.

I genuinely can't tell if this is like monads (which are useful, but often poorly explained) or if this is just a bad idea.
problem is not that republican politicians do this shady sh*t. problem is that their voter base just dont care besides that narrow specific thing they care about. IMO this is the big power of team-Red, its an OR of all favorable narratives.

We've all heard it before, that decriminalization will make drugs appear less like a forbidden fruit and remove some of the incentive to abuse. But that's not really true, at least not where things like drugs are concerned and addiction is a possibility.

It turns out that forbidding bad things and punishing bad behavior does reduce their incidence.

Now let's apply that to all the other crime we've gone soft on, like depravity or murder or violence in general. Criminalize drugs, criminalize the production and distribution of pornography, criminalize public displays and promotion of depravity. Singapore may take some things a bit far, but you cannot deny that crime is EXTREMELY low, something that should compel us to get off the sentimental train and consider that adequate punishment is good thing.
It's ultimately on developers as the last, ethical line of defense: They're the ones typing in the code at the end of the day. Without them, the bosses couldn't implement these things. Unfortunately, for every good developer who draws a line in the sand, there's Bob, two desks down, who is happy to implement whatever dark pattern boss tells him to. Fuck Bob.

What we really need is some kind of Hippocratic Oath for Software, that we all agree to and can collectively use to resist this shit. Not going to happen, but one can dream.

Frankly I think GitHub Issues is possibly the biggest barrier, and not just in UX terms, and it astonishes me that it's often the only (visible) option for so many major projects. I've watched multiple coworkers run across issues in other languages and systems (we don't use Rust, sadly), and when they get to the GitHub report they stop cold.

Submitting it there means making it literally public, and relatively highly visible. Can they do that with [internal software X]? Do they need to hide their internal username, which is all over the report? Are they publicly acting in the company's name by sticking it in a world-visible-and-google-indexed location with their work GitHub account? A good number don't even have a separate personal account - GitHub is big, but extremely far from ubiquitous.

These are not hypothetical examples either, I've had newer engs ask me about ^ multiple of those. I've seen more-senior-than-me people asking our legal department similar questions before clicking submit, and mostly getting non-answers two days later. I see almost every case including manual scrubbing of dozens or hundreds of lines of output to try to avoid these questions. With the increasing public pile-ons in GitHub lately, this is all likely to worsen.

All of that is coming from highly motivated people trying to improve things for themselves and possibly dozens or hundreds of others (else they just try to work around the crash). And they frequently stop.

Meanwhile everyone just clicks "report and clear" in Intellij error reports.
It still works, in my experience. Also, stripping out the plus is risky for sites, as it might actually be a part of the address, especially if it's not @gmail.com.

You can get a tad fancier and automatically mark mails without + as spam (only works for new addresses, obviously) or use a dash as separator (if your mail provider supports it). This won't block a targeted attack, yes, but it's usually sufficient to filter a lot of low quality spam and to identify companies that sell or leak your data.
Yeah I was wondering about that. There was another, older market on Metaculous which was also showing lower odds than the others, but I assumed that was due to the resolution criteria being more strict (it ended up getting resolved to "no" because the question was whether it would replicate with the first independent published paper on the subject). With this new one though the resolution criteria seem similar enough to the others that you'd expect them to converge, but so far that hasn't happened.
This is absolutely it!

In the marketplace, only results matter and companies that deliver them displace those that don’t. In this case, result mean profit or at least conversions.

The same was true for banks who were over extended on risky loans in the late aughts. If you didn’t do that, you were criticized by analysts and Wall Street for being too conservative, and anyway look how much these other banks are making. And by the government: you’re being too stingy with loans to the buyers who need them most.

Model 3 owner here. That couldn't be further from the truth. The manual release is so obvious that almost everyone accidentally uses it instead of the regular button the first time they try to open my door from the inside.
Ironic, considering they literally had the power to raise the debt ceiling for two years while they were in Congress. But it's too much to ask that they have less than a year of foresight.

Thank you, I made the original comment on a whim after coming to the thread and being disappointed at how everyone was talking about this result as though it immediately exposed Lee, Jihoon Kim, Hyun-Tak Kim etc as frauds. It was also late at night and I was tired ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯ I really appreciate you putting together some more sourcing and explanatory material for it.

Side note, the upvotes on the original comment have pushed me well past the 500 upvotes mark, so now I have a downvoted button on most comments. Which is actually kind of annoying on mobile because God, they are right beside each other and absolutely tiny, with no remaining visual indicator afterwards as to whether you upvoted or downvoted a comment.
The way I'd characterize it is that they're usually _directionally_ (and mechanistically) correct. On something as sensitive as a band gap the error bars are larger; if the DFT simulations said "yeah, no way this has band density at the Fermi level" I'd regard it as strong evidence against the LK-99 claims, but the fact this is in the ballpark is – to be clear, pretty weak – evidence in favor.
> The second is seeing T in your equation as a fixed quantity and assuming people are rationally capable of solving that equation perfectly over time. I think this combines with #1, but I also suspect you've seen enough people who's Ts have crept up over time to know that equation's a bit fallacious.

I omitted a response to this. I totally agree T is a function of time and tolerance. I fully agree even T can become extremely elevated due to tolerance.

My point though is analgous to drinkers. Most people are looking to acquire a certain BAC and they stop when they hit that. EG: if I want a BAC of 0.12%, I'll stop after 2 pints or 2 shots; just because I have a bottle of vodka in front of me I'm not going to drink 2 pints of it.

Thus, the _typical_ effect of providing someone with double potency is they consume half as much. Typically though, there are exceptions (ballpark 5-15% of heavy users, which are already a small subset of all users)

This ties back into the potency thing though, the inverse is true; decrease potency by half and the volume consumed will double. For those that were seeking a very high 'T' value - they were making up for it in quantity. Thus, the average value of 'T' has not gone up to dramatic levels.

I would guess it is likely that generally more people are getting higher, but it's like 10%, something like 0.35 grams of THC or 0.4 grams in a session compared to 0.3 grams. It's only heavy users I've ever met that can do more than that; and believe me that they were getting plenty high smoking absurd quantities
that makes me wonder if US treasuries get labelled below AAA then would that mean (some) pension funds may not invest in them. I think some have obligations to invest only in AAA. but of course we are long way from that as all 3 rating agencies would have to downgrade & thats not happening until default is in rear view mirror.
That's way too high level and ambiguous. Something could look okay in one browser and totally crap in another.

Wikipedia over-represents the opinions of retired professors. As Max Planck wrote, "Science advances one funeral at a time".

The usual shallow, reflexive objection is that the bones must have been broken and carefully re-arranged via being run over by construction equipment. This absurd suggestion has been very thoroughly demolished without assistance from construction equipment. It is hard for dump truck tires to produce green-stick fractures in 130,000-year-old bone, or to put bone fragments into the pores of stones and then move them yards away, all while underground.
The whole trilogy was great, and I was sad when I finished The Children of the Sky because there weren't any more books set in that universe left to read.

Another space opera I felt the same way about is Peter Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga. There's also a trilogy and some other novels set in the same universe. 99% of the fiction I read is space opera, and the Commonwealth universe is definitely my favorite. So action-packed and enthralling, couldn't put the books down. As a matter of fact — it's been a few years since I've read them, and I'm almost done with Lords of Uncreation, so I think I may read it again :)

People will complain about the debt ceiling -- granted, it's kinda dumb -- but it's also the only speed bump left to unlimited money printing.

The core issue is the size of the debt. The US is constantly paying off old debt with new debt. Except this year the cost of those funds quadrupled -- which means, even more debt.

If interest rates stay high for several years, our national debt will balloon out of control. At a point we'll have no money left for anything but interest on the debt, or we'll just print so much money to pay interest on our national debt inflation will come back with a vengeance.

At some point I'd love to see a grand bargain where we 1) raise taxes a bit and 2) lower spending a bit. I'm not holding my breath...
