I'm surprised it's still politically correct to use words "right" and "left".
Radical individualism leads to absurd ideas like "I have the right to harm myself if I choose". Heh, nope. This is the ridiculous liberal "notion" of "right", which is incoherent and absurd. The very idea of "right" presupposes an objective good. Harming oneself (drugs, suicide, whatever) is objectively evil. You cannot have a right to an evil thing.
I did a ctrl+f on the page of the link I posted, I do not see what you're suggesting? Is there a different link you're referring to? If it's subscribing, I'm already on their email list, that's how I got the link I posted.

I see on this page: https://www.cisa.gov/about/contact-us

Is that what you were referring to? I'm not an industry partner, the text indicates it's for them. I'm a US citizen trying to get word to CISA that their web page notification (in email or the web page) is difficult to read.
Sure. The U.S. could run a surplus like it did under Clinton. Surplus & time -> debt paid off.

But the only way we know to get back to those days involves raising taxes on the rich. The people ranting and raving about the debt would never agree to raising taxes, so the deficit hawks will continue blowing up the deficit until things fall apart completely.
The original Dart language designers gave Dart Smalltalk semantics with JavaScript syntax. But Dart’s users rebelled and forced Dart to adopt a more compile-time-type-checked type system.

Some of the original Dart designers have developed a new language Toit that is Smalltalk-like: https://toit.io/company/about

While of course I want latency to be as low as possible, the difference between 100ms and 500ms of latency doesn't register in the engagement metrics for these experiences. For millions of laypeople, it doesn't seem to matter that much. However, going from 670ms of time to first image (this service) and 2.5s (worst case) increases bounce rates by as much as 5 percentage points. PureWeb, which typically takes 35s to load, isn't suitable for any mass audience at all.

So imagine downloading a USDZ file for some AR thing. It's real, it's something people try to do. But the bounce rates on those experiences are insane, I don't know why Niantic funds them, there isn't anything you can do about it. There isn't a future for "it takes a while to load" on phones. That's the real constraint.
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

In a later comment you ask ...how should I provide help & compassion?

I would say one-on-one as an individual walking the streets, you probably shouldn't, especially if you have children in tow.

We need to address our nationwide affordable housing crisis. California is disproportionately impacted and takes a lot of the blame for it, but I think they are basically the dumping ground and whipping boy for a national failure.

Decriminalization is helpful in part because if you criminalize use of the drug, it makes it harder to seek treatment. People who expect to go to jail for trying to get the help they need are more likely to not come forward and to continue to try to fix their problems themselves.

We need a better understanding of why people do drugs, what the underlying root causes are. It's hard to solve a problem without knowing why it exists. Given our long track record of not getting results, I think we have room for improvement in how we frame this problem.

That was S&P. Moody's still rates the US 'Aaa'.
How many emails did you "send from your personal email account"? Do you think it only counts as a "marketing list" if you send it through MailChimp?

I must say I am really puzzled by your reply. Having the option to email you to ask to be removed definitely does not excuse the lack of an unsubscribe link.
I am not endorsing drug use at all, but I have seen highly functioning drug users. I have never met a homeless man that could still function after being on the streets for a year.
Personally I won't even consider a posting without a range listed. Even my teenage son won't apply for a retail job that doesn't list pay up front.
I met someone once where it later developed that they had begun lying to me from the very beginning.

It ended poorly.
Except it's not.

> Ratings Downgrade: The rating downgrade of the United States reflects the expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years, a high and growing general government debt burden, and the erosion of governance relative to 'AA' and 'AAA' rated peers over the last two decades that has manifested in repeated debt limit standoffs and last-minute resolutions.
We've been using https://tailwindcss.com/docs/typography-plugin to style our Tiptap and content and it's worked great so far.
We know how to reduce the deficit: raise taxes on the rich. It's not rocket appliances. It's just a complete non-starter given the current GOP. The people screaming the loudest about the deficit are the same people preventing any real steps to fix it.
Good question though! Within the YC program, we're able to do exactly what you mentioned: We can focus on Tiptap and continue to iterate and improve it. Before that, it was quite popular, but it was a side project. A project like this, with the speed at which everything is moving, is time consuming.

We love being part of the open source community, but as I mentioned in another answer, a project like this can't be sustained without the business side in mind. The whole project has been bootstrapped by us in addition to our work at our digital agency. With YC we can focus on the project and develop an ecosystem and harden our open source core, which will always be free for everyone in the future.

We don't have an exit plan, but we have a lot of ideas for more features and want to respond to the community's feedback.

Your PR fixing our bad English in our markdown documentation is always welcome ;) Thank you for your valuable feedback!
>To give an example, if one trusts the newspapers of the United Kingdom, the NHS is supposed to have been "underfunded" ever since Cameron became prime minister in 2010. The reality is that expenditures on that system have remained at around 9.7% of GDP until COVID when they rose to 12%, remaining at that level since then. And GDP is a quantity that's growing every year.

The reality is that they cut the things that add cumulative pressure to the NHS itself. E.g - social care cuts meant that thousands of beds occupied by medically fit people were occupied because they had nowhere to send those people to. The "underfunded" thing is a simplistic and borderline misleading way of phrasing it but with the attention economy that we're in I can see why they'd phrase it that way
Maybe PIE speakers invented all of chemistry, general relativity, and quantum mechanics 8000 years ago, but owing to lack of any written language or higher-math educational institutions, their descendants have since forgotten it all. But it is not the way to bet.

You already admitted that an ancestor to the PIE-family languages existed. Are you objecting to linguists calling that ancestral language PIE? Maybe you have some other name to propose, and would like to persuade the entire population of modern linguists to switch to using your proposed name that you have not revealed to us yet?

You were downvoted for reasons you could learn from. Maybe read the posting guidelines?

They do care about those -isms, as those divide the worker folk and keep those from uniting and demanding more.
It is and it isn't. You can't continue to fund the country on high levels of debt or continue to grow the economy and eventually pay off the debt by continuing to leverage the country. It's more like we aren't certain of the limits of debt/deficit for the US economy before we get back knock on effects whereas in personal finance your creditors will come calling much faster. There are other nuances of course but on a large macro scale it is similar.
> We also had an employee with a 'powder clause' in her contract. Any day with over a certain amount of snowfall meant a day off.

This person is my new hero.

I wonder how common this is, though. I mean, I've mostly worked for medium-to-huge sized companies, and as WorkerBee number 56612, I have zero ability to get anything non-standard or cute into my actual employment contract. I get the same standard boilerplate as all 50K other WorkerBees, and if I don't like it, I can go pound pavement.
Congress passes the budget. If they want to reduce spending, they should pay the political price of having to attach their own names to those cuts. As it stands, it is simply used as blackmail for extracting concessions without actually decreasing spending.
My knee jerk reaction is.. Does this mean anything?
people can drown in water they can stand when they walked in on their own two feet, how do you human factor that in into your UX?
Thanks for being so eloquent — this was exactly what I was trying to say.
I am optimistic that a social graph can help with this, using transitive trust and making it easy to transitively "cut off" bad parts of the graph with a blocklist. The problem is that commercial graphs do become useless, as you say.

But with the Fediverse we now have a graph that is resistant to this. I'm not aware of anyone building a reputation system on top of it, but this is something I expect will develop in the future. The system's opinion about a particular data point would then be personalized based on the people you say you trust to indicate that information, combined with the people they say they trust, and so forth.
WV is a half continent away, has massively different demographics, poverty rates, culture, history etc. Comparisons like that are extremely difficult to do properly. What we can easily compare is Oregon a few years ago vs Oregon now and deduce the impact of it's policies with nearby similar states as a reference.
I don't know what people expect. We have a nationwide problem that states are trying to solve at an individual level and failing. I lived in Virginia and Texas, both had severe drug issues, homeless problems and those states are strict on drugs. They're experiencing rises in deaths due to fentanyl, rising homeless rates and more. No one talks about the issues in those states because they aren't doing anything to try and stop it, so there's no new policy to criticize.
How reliable are these ratings? In the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis we learned their algorithms can be easily beaten (repackaging dog shit securities) or just outright fraudulent.
I agree. For some reason, Airflow really sucks at running something on a cron-like timer. I can't remember the all issues I had with it exactly (this was several jobs ago), but getting it to run a job at the same time everyday was a nightmare. One issue I do recall was that it treated the first run differently, basically ignoring your defined schedule. And I think "first run" meant every time Airflow was restarted. So if Bad Things happened if that job ran the wrong time of day, you had to add extra logic into the job itself to abort if it was being called at the wrong time. How they managed to make this so difficult is mind boggling. By contrast, Jenkins will reliably execute a job on a timer without issues.
Spot checking this, I don't see any manufacturers making a $1k laptop in the same ballpark. Closest seems to be Dell trying to sell last gen processors for the same price as current gen and those are at least 2.5x faster. Excluding them, everything else was 3.5x faster with some far exceeding that.

That being said, it would probably be enough to service many computing needs and one device is a great deal more convenient than multiple.
Yes, I know people with kids. They did do multiple loads daily for the first few months but stopped doing laundry every day once each baby was ~6mo. (Though neither parent found time to make workout clothes sweaty during those months.)

When I was a kid, our three-kid family did laundry once a week and there were fewer than 7 loads.

To me it seems dangerous to go to the author's side of the split, if you work in tech: you won't be exposed, at all, to the web that most people experience. Which is bad for you, professionally speaking - it's bad to be completely in the dark about "the web" as most people experience it. It's bad if you work in a startup which is on that web. And it's bad if you're entrepreneurial and would like to make money off that same web: you literally don't know what most of your customer base is seeing. I would even go so far as to say it's not a viable strategy if you expect to be employed by tech cos. or startups. It would be like trying to get a job at Disney or Paramount, while saying "oh I don't watch tv or go to the movies."

The problem with printing it is that we'll always be able to just print more, because it's effectively a number in a database and we probably don't even need to literally print out dollar bills for it.

But we'll have piles of currency and we'll be lacking in actual things to buy with that. It acts as a regressive, stealthy tax so it's always politically favorable even if it's bad for us economically.

And it has downstream effects because of the demand for inflation-proof goods that are easy to get cash for (gold, silver, property you can rent out), which has other effects like making housing an investment and it being hard for people who actually want to live in those, etc.

Then you game the inflation metrics to make things look good and people wonder why numbers keep going up and they can't make any progress on actually improving their lives because they have no idea what they're really being taxed.

They'll keep getting away with it as long as people see numbers going up and never realizing the source of the problems.
With the population edge they have, they will still have more young people than us. More of their output will have to go for caring for the elderly, but that will scale with technology.
To my knowledge, that number from the original researchers and no one has yet independently verified it.

External researchers have not even begun to purify and test the limits of this material.
As an alternative to the VNC method suggested here, there's also the Termux-X11 add-on[1].

In my experience, VNC is more stable, but when Termux-X11 works, it feels snappier than VNC, and the resolution of the Linux environment is automatically scaled to the available screen space you have (making portrait/landscape switches and soft keyboards feel seamless)

> I can see why that would be a scary thing to look at in humans.

I don’t get it, are you say because of race? Wouldn’t that be more interesting to know that is the case that scared of looking into it?
In Sabine's opinion. I've seen Sabine's video when it was posted and intend no disrespect to her. The predominant theoretical explanation for the alleged new superconductor is that it may be a new type of superconductor, not type I or type II, or it may be presenting in unusual ways. There have been a bunch of confusing theoretical prodictions, like anisotropic conduction (how would that affect the way levitation looks)?, chance-based copper substitution in the lattice that could lead to superconducting clusters in what is otherwise just normal lead apatite (how would that affect the way levitation looks in a bulk chunk like that?), etc.

Plenty of people who know the theory of superconductors are sceptical. They're not wrong about the theory. It's also worth pointing out that every previous time a new superconductor critical temp limit was broken in a major way, superconductor theory saying it shouldn't be possible was a cause for early scepticism amongst those who knew the theory. Sabine's gut reactions in a YouTube video doesn't make the result very unlikely. It doesn't make her wrong either, she's right that all existing superconductors, if pure and homogeneous, would not behave like that on a magnet. It is also the case that all existing superconductors do not superconduct at room temperature and ambient pressure. It is also the case that (absent fraud, which is on everyone's mind after Ranga Dias) we don't know of any material that could plausible behave the way that video shows something behaving. The only thing I can think of that could behave that way would be impure/heterogeneous diamagnetic material, but like 15x as diamagnetic as the next highest non-superconductor, which means if that material exists we don't know about it. If it was fraud, it would be with a magnetised sample on a magnet like that. The reason I think fraud is the only option if it was a magnetised sample is because that's a really, really obvious explanation for the effect and they have to have measured the sample for magnetism before putting it on a magnet. They would also literally feel it/see it/hear it while placing the sample on the magnet. Also it would almost certainly have to be composed of different elements than they describe, because lead apatite with copper definitely should not be ferromagnetic at all.
Alcohol as a "luxury market" is really just a marketing gimmick. It's dressed up to be palatable and to entice people. Dealers gotta make money.

"Society" isn't really a unit. Plenty of people would happily make alcohol illegal if they had power. It's not ethically acceptable to drink in a lot of communities (even in the U.S.). Some countries prohibit alcohol present day.

My point is that the status of alcohol as "ethically acceptable" is far from universal.
Statistics is a science. "Uncorrelated" means something concrete and quantitative. Learning what that means might enable you to produce the sort of educated guesses the rest of science does routinely, and that lead inexorably to the expectation that an abundance of cheaper experiments produce greater value than a few expensive ones. "Expectation" also means something concrete and quantitative.
It's not absurd. It's your body, you can do what you want with it.

There's been plenty of evil done by do-gooders, who are so certain in their rectitude about what's best for others, that they feel justified in imposing that rectitude upon them.
The way I see it, variables are designed to be quoted. I think everyone assumes they aren't for some reason, which is is mistake. Just because you sometimes can get away with not quoting doesn't mean it isn't incorrect. I can think of exactly one situation where you don't want to quote a bash variable, yet people do it constantly. it's frustrating.

Thank god for shellcheck. It can yell at everyone for me
Why isn't it enough to combine a few approved drugs to target multiple pathways ?
This was me too. I had used many substances (cannabis, ketamine, benzos, cocaine + every other stimulant under the sun) and was able to keep them in my possession and only use them at most once every 4-6 weeks, and only ever in the company of others. This lasted for many years. I was arrogant and thought I was above addiction. I tried heroin and was addicted before I finished my 1g bag.

I think your point about "stop[] scheduling every drug as equally dangerous" is very salient. I really don't want to shift blame anywhere but myself, but if society had been honest about treating heroin as much more problematic than (for example) cocaine or amphetamine, maybe I would have listened. But when they were all considered equally bad and the others didn't form a grip on me... you can see how I ended up where I did.

Thankfully, I had every advantage one could need: a loving spouse, a lot of savings and a medical system that treated it as a health problem, not a criminal one. I told my doctor about my addiction and he prescribed diazepam for the withdrawal. He wrote a referral to admit me to a psychiatric hospital. I was able to take a month off work (and keep my job) while under the care of professionals. Without all of those, I'd probably end up dead in a few years.
Can’t do the decriminalization and legalization without proper resources devoted to rehabilitation. This is a health problem and the US doesn’t like to provide free healthcare to those who need it.

Oregon did the right thing by decriminalizing, but massively screwed it up by under investment in care.
Imagine mom and dad need to stash money away because they are going to retire in 20 years. So money can't be saved without being borrowed, and the USG acts as a safe borrower of last resort (because the world has lots of savings needs ATM). Now if the USG used that money productively, this wouldn't be a big deal, but if we just waste it on military ventures that are never going to payoff, we are going to have a problem when mom and dad need to actually retire.

A lot of country's debts can be attributed to people getting old and needing to save for retirement, things will get bloody when those countries go off the demographic cliff (e.g. Japan, western Europe, China eventually, and of course the USA).
