> I wonder how we will prevent ourselves from making this and similar mistakes in the future

Just listen to the teachers, parents, and students. In high school I was among the last year groups to be pen and paper. All the younger students had laptops and iPads. I distinctly remember during the change that very few people thought it was a good idea, except for those students who got a free laptop or iPad out of it. I imagine the change was mostly brought about by administrators and politicians.
"Similar to" in what way? If you mean that it's an episode of a new show with new characters that uses similar plot points to another show then you're all good. But if it's straight up using the same characters, fictional setting etc then you might be in trouble.

Interesting post. A possible more general restatement would be "under consequentialism (or utilitarianism) everyone's happiness (including the crime perpetrators') is weighted equally. Should that be the case?"

I suspect that specifically "family punishment" fails the cost-benefit analysis due to practical reasons, but the question of "should we weigh the suffering of good people equally to the suffering of terrible people in our ethics system" is interesting to me, and I don't currently have answer.
It really just added a nicer food court off to the side.

Something weird about this is that humans very often ascribe the sensation of d^ns/dt^n, to feeling d^n-1s/dt^n-1.

So people will say that something which accelerates quickly is 'fast'. Or they will say, when they feel themselves initially being pressed back into their seat as a plane starts its takeoff roll, that they are experiencing 'acceleration' when what they are experiencing is actually jerk.

The thing is, you can't actually feel motion at a constant speed - so the only thing that tells you you are acquiring speed is your body's experience of acceleration - so when you feel yourself accelerating, you associate that with speed. Likewise, your body also can't really tell the difference between constant acceleration and just... being at a different angle, and maybe a bit heavier than normal. So it's when you experience changes in the apparent direction of 'down' and the overall 'weight' you're feeling that you think 'oh, we're accelerating'.

My favorite way to get a sense of what acceleration, jerk and snap feel like is to focus on what happens when you're in a car that's braking hard. You're decelerating at a relatively constant rate while the brakes are applied - it feels as if 'down' is pointing slightly forward, meaning you'd be sliding off the seat if it weren't for your seatbelt holding you back. When the car finally stops though, there's a very abrupt change in acceleration - a 'jerk'. 'Down' switches to pointing straight down again, very quickly. You're pulled back into your seat. That's jerk. And specifically the sudden onset of that swing in what direction 'down' is pointing, and then its rapid disappearance is snap. Your body feels like it's being 'jerked' around when the car stops precisely because that motion has high snap - you experience a sudden high amount of jerk, then the jerk ends.
I'm old enough to remember when USB was promoted as the end of cable madness :).

The idea was that you would have one cable from your computer, and all devices would be chained. Life would be so simple.

Instead we have several USB cables, plus HDMI and DP, and lightning, and probably some I've forgotten. Thankfully we lost the enormous parallel ports. Although many EU televisions still use something equally bulky.

> Out of the 866 subjects of the study group, four subjects (0.46%) met full case criteria for PSSD (see Fig. 1B). These subjects were 32, 34, 37, and 42 years-old. They used antidepressants with at least a partial serotonergic mechanism (escitalopram, paroxetine, imipramine, or nortriptyline) for 4–8 months before initiating treatment for erectile dysfunction with PDE-5 inhibitors (all used tadalafil and vardenafil, but not sildenafil). They continued to have erectile dysfunction after drug discontinuation as evidenced by 3.6–14.8 months of PDE-5 inhibitor treatment at the end of the study period. The prevalence of PSSD in males of ages 21–49 years of the population of the CHS Tel-Aviv district is 4.3 per 100,000 (4 in 92,476).

4 in 866 is pretty good odds, but everyone has different risk profiles. I’ll be sure to mention it next time Prozac comes up.

GZDoom. I know that Doom is an old game, but the GZDoom sourceport has enabled all kinds of cool and crazy mods. Doom is no longer a game but a platform. Because of the mostly 2D nature of the engine, creating maps is so easy that anyone can do it. I think it's extremely fun and accessible.
It doesn't matter what it chip it has. Bottom line is the iPhone doesn't have USB 3.0 which android phones have had for a decade at this point.

> I am curious what percentage of iPhones have ever, over their usage lifespan, made a data connection over USB.

It's actually a security vulnerability to do so, I'm very cautious to never click trust and I wish there was a setting to disable USB (data) entirely.

When that dialog pops up which asks if you want to "trust" the connected device, saying yes creates a token which is exchanged between the phone and the host and stored on the host. That token has special privileged with iOS and can exfiltrate some data from the phone without user interaction (this has become more and more minimal over the years, with the original iPhone as I recall it could literally take a full backup like from iTunes -- and there wasn't even a prompt on the phone to allow that). That token can also be exfiltrated from your computer and inserted into special boxes made by companies like NSO which have in the past utilize proprietary exploits to basically privilege escalate that minimal access and exfiltrate data from locked iPhones.

I sound like a conspiracy theorist and I should probably just delete this.

The takeaway is that people vary hugely in their sensitivities and the different medical histories behind the same condition. I know someone who is extremely sensitive to salt, and even on BP meds, they must have quite a low salt diet to control their blood pressure.

Why do you hate capitalism? Not engaging in monthly services, consuming additional ads, or letting Apple sniff your data in the cloud.

I agree. I've had a leather jacket for 20+ years. I have leather boots that I keep clean and re-sole every now and then. I wore a pair of leather Birkenstocks through several sets of soles until the cork bed literally fell apart.

It doesn't natively, but you could have (in AWS) an auto-scaling group based on CPU load where new nodes automatically join the cluster.
I've had several lightning cables fail from moisture getting from my fingers onto the exposed contacts and causing galvanic corrosion. The tube from USB-C seems to prevent that.
Apple promised in 2012 that it would support lightning for 10 years - yes the EU helped push them to USB-C but they had a good reason for not doing so before 2022. And it kinda worked out perfectly, in the 11th year they switched, right after they had met their promise.
>I love how people are asking "what are you doing with data transfer anyway?" Such deflection of the principle of the issue

I think it's a legitimate question from people trying to understand the use case -- I haven't done a USB data transfer with my phone in years. I wouldn't want to pay even $5 more to get faster cabled data transfer.
But today that does not happen, so given how people like this are punished today, what is the correct financial penalty?

In general threats and stalking are only meaningfully punished when brought up during sentencing for subsequent assault.

However it's worth noting when thinking about how "unreasonable" a financial penalty is, that all your future employment options get severely limited. 500k over a lifetime of employment is in the region of 10-15k/year, you can hopefully see how the financial cost of a criminal conviction can easily dwarf these costs. Obviously the impact of a conviction is incredibly variable and filled with all sorts of bias - the financial penalty of a record is lower if you're rich than if you're poor, or social status, race, etc. But in general I would guess any meaningful criminal penalty would easily have a lifetime financial cost of more than 500k.

Keep trying. I don’t want to give you false hope, but it’s entirely possible that you’ve just gotten unlucky for a variety of reasons.

It’s worth keeping in mind that long ago I was prescribed Prozac but didn’t take it consistently, so I didn’t notice any effect. It wasn’t until I did it every day for 60 days that I noticed changes. It’s like https://youtu.be/D8BZPAeCGEc?si=xjYSD9t5DprFfMRm but easier, since you just need to take a pill every day.

So keep consistent, and keep your head up. I believe in you.
Yes, we all know that. The problem is that some people make ridiculous anti-EV "safety" rules anyway.

I don't understand your logic.

>Right morality maps itself to reality... buuuut man believing irrational things is also 'one such' reality.

These statements either contradict, or open up too many possibilities. If irrational man is one reality, then what's the real reality, the second, true reality?

If you're going to sacrifice giving belief 'a pass', then it's really hard to draw a firm dividing line on whom-gets-a-pass and whom doesn't.

I'd always lean towards giving irrational people mercy.

Tying mercy solely to rationality and logic can become too reductive for humans to lead good lives.

> Factories used to have bands and axels taking power from one central steam engine to all corners of the building. And then they got redesigned once electricity came in.

Fascinating fact you might enjoy: many modern industrial facilities use compressed air to power many of the devices inside.

At a lot of Amazon facilities, a main compressor is somewhere on site keeping a large tank full. The compressed air is piped throughout the facility[0], and used to power a lot of moving parts in an open loop, making a distinctive 'hiss' sound[1] as the device moves and releases air. Not everything, certainly, but a lot of simple devices that need to move quickly and with some force.

It's all computer controlled and yes, electricity is a major part- but the driving force is coming from compressed air. And that's pretty neat.

Exactly. If you look at YouTube bitrate for a 1080p video, it's 8mbps, which is 1.67% of the theoretical max data rate of USB2 (480mbps), so there's more than enough bandwidth for CarPlay.

"The botulism concern" isn't limited to garlic, botulism spores will be present on nearly anything you can ferment. Since lacto is also anaerobic, you're depending on the halotolerance of the lactobacteria to outcompete botulism early, and then they produce their own lactic acid to make it completely inhospitable.

Botulism gives up a lot of vigor for its sporing ability and doesn't do well with salt at all. The situations where it's a problem are when you don't have a source of acidity, like when you use heat which wipes the LABs but not botulism. Which is the domain of canning and things, not fermentation. Combining them is advanced level for this reason exactly though.

> it broadly fails because most individual punishments already, due to the nature of familial relations, do punish families both directly and indirectly.

it doesn't.

Familial punishment encourages the enforcement of the rules inside families, lest they get punished. But the rules must be acceptable to the broader family, otherwise it makes for rebellion against the authority (presumably the royalty or dictator in this case).

It only doesn't work under _today_'s laws, since families today, compared to the medieval times, is a lot less close and more like acquaintances than family (i'm including things like in-laws, uncles and aunts etc as family).

The market has spoken. Rugged phones don't sell. Or people have compensated by buying a case. It is very normal to see a phone with smashed front or rear glass (1), or a degraded battery. A worn out battery is often part of people's rationalization in buying an entirely new phone. At least on the operating system side Apple is ironically leading the industry. The remainder of the smartphone industry that's not Samsung or Apple churns out disposable products so it's a low bar to clear.

I also just plain old like it... It makes sense to me. I never got hugely into achievements but I liked the Gamerscore on the 360, it was a good proxy for how much you had achieved overall on the console, and how far towards 1000 you got on a game. Most games you'd get ~ 500-600 out of 1000 just for beating the game, and then you could go out of your way to master it and push towards 1000.
In a pinch you grab what you can, and if what you need is USB-C, you have a lot more options.

Yeah, I'm a fan of it being an optional standard that's separate from the core display protocol. The problem is that it needs to be a standard, not 3 different standards because it wasn't standardized so 3 different groups created their own things, and all of the standards needed to replace X11 as it was actually used should have had a 1.0 spec before the whole mess was shipped to end users, let alone before users were told that this was the future that they needed to get on already.
