- From the perspective of a communist, it's clear.

- From the perspective of a libertarian, it's clear.

- From the perspective of people who want to stay within the bounds of capitalism but would like to have some way to curtail inequality, a group to which I belong, it's not clear.

If you're of the same beliefs but are unable to present and defend a specific solution to address the problems presented, as I am, you should welcome those questions.
It does require a bit of planning. The better EVs have this all built into their nav systems, Tesla is the gold standard there.

Tesla opening their charging network to other brands is going to improve the charging situation a lot in the US.

EVs definitely aren’t for everyone yet, but people calling them junk or thinking they have to charge for hours to go 100 miles are pretty far off the mark.
> there may not be any reason to manage all of their possible failures upfront

You still need to handle the errors you receive to ensure that implementation details do not leak to the next caller. That, at very least, means returning (or raising/throwing) a new error that is relevant to the function returning it - not what was relevant to any functions it happened to call.

To continue with your example: If your database error bubbles up, callers will come to rely on those error values. Then, when changing requirements sees you need to switch your implementation to a web service API – with a whole different set of errors – now everything they wrote is broken.

Which is especially problematic in languages like Go and Python where possible error values are not well communicated to the caller via language constructs. Your code will compile just fine, and seemingly run fine, until that SQL error you were expecting becomes a 500 HTTP error that you didn't know to handle, and now you're in a difficult place. Maybe you can get away with that practice if you have checked exceptions, as at least the compiler will blow up when the possible set of errors change, but it's still a pretty awful API design to leave the caller breaking like that just because you changed an insignificant (to the caller) implementation detail underneath the abstraction they are using.

> (frankly, that's condescending)

Flawed logic. There is no emotional component to a discussion.
I think you are right to be suspicious. For example, back when I lived in the US and went for a checkup at a big hospital in NY: first there were greeters at the entrance of the building, then a greeter on the right floor, then a small army of receptionists, then a nurse, then a PA, then the doctor. All these are expenses. Are they necessary? Here in France there is, maybe, a receptionist that sends me to the office where the doctor does everything, including billing. (Frankly, both ways seem a bit extreme.)

Apple's New Film Strategy Debuts with 'Killers of the Flower Moon'
Yeah, fair, maybe we are in violent agreement :)

I agree it is interesting that ketamine seems to work very quickly for some people. Re: your placebo comment, I also agree it's hard to separate it out.

One of the tricky things with the placebo effect is that there are really multiple distinct types of placebo effect; on the one hand, you have objective measurable biological changes that placebos can trigger, but on the other hand placebos can also affect peoples' subjective perceptions of the symptoms they're experiencing.

In the case of depression though, the subjective perception of misery is the core problem we're trying to fix. Hence why treatments that have no biological effect (like, e.g., therapy) are still considered valid approaches. So, then the question is, does it matter whether ketamine is just a placebo? Maybe all antidepressants are placebos, in which case the important thing is to find the safest, most effective, fastest-acting placebo we can.

Really though I do kind of think peoples' subjective experiences matters in a more concrete way than folks give credit for. Even though it's not directly modifying your brain chemistry, I wouldn't call therapy a placebo, for example. Maybe sometimes medications help people because beliefs like "someone is trying to help me" or "I've found an explanation for why I feel bad and there's a treatment for it" actually help people break out of their self-destructive patterns, regardless of the actual efficacy of the meds. It's more questionable though whether those beliefs actually help with long-term root-cause fixes though, or if they just trap people in a local maxima.

How to Grow Big Table Salt or Sodium Chloride Crystals at Home
[Arbitrary number] is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road, but that's just peanuts to [arbitrary number].

Assuming the binary digits of π are randomly distributed[0], any given n-bit binary sequence is going to come up with a probability of 1-in-2^n at any given point in the whole thing. A 1 kB file of any kind, app or data, is already one in 1-in-2^(8*(2^10))).

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy says that if you hold a lungful of air you can survive in the total vacuum of space for about thirty seconds. However it goes on to say that what with space being the mind boggling size it is the chances of getting picked up by another ship within those thirty seconds are two to the power of two hundred and sixty-seven thousand seven hundred and nine to one against.

This probability corresponds to a file just fractionally smaller than 33464 bytes.

For scale: The universe can have performed no more than 10^120 ops on 10^90 bits[1] (~2^399 and ~2^299 respectively), meaning that no IP-protected content over 299 bits in length is likely to be found even when the entire universe is dedicated to this task, and even if your algorithm for finding extra digits of π is efficient enough that you're not limited by it.

[0] is this proven for any value of "random"? I genuinely don't know.

If you are in CS because you want to make a difference in some way, you will have the drive, and be innovative to the field, and will make the difference you want.

If you are in CS because you want a stable paying job, but you put in the work, in the end you will still be innovative and advance teams and become successful.

If you are in CS because you just want the money, and you get low grades not because you tried, but because you didn't, then obviously you are not needed in the cutting edge or high stakes jobs of the field, because you would slow it down.

If you get low grades but you tried, you might find success, because you are looking for success, failing doesn't mean its over, but people who didn't care about the field in the first place are not going to have the courage to come back from failure and rise again.

>As organisations use Mechanical Turk to create datasets, in this website a more private dataset is shown. Following the logic of the platform, for a small fee workers have been asked to show a glimpse of their private life, their view close to their desk, their working station. At the limit of ethics and labour exploitation we should ask ourselves whether this is an acceptable approach to use in research and in general, if employing randomic workers around the world is the ideal practice to shape future artificial intelligences.

Nice idea, however I don't follow the logic. We're looking out of people's windows. The data are heavily biased for locations within the USA. Cicero is a photo of a cat, and the photo from Boston, MA looks like a fantastic place to work. So again, why should these non-random photos guide our level of ethical comfort? It doesn't make sense.
The USA seems to be cure-before-prevention country, and we're paying for it with our lives.

Does 400e speak to you meaningfully valuing such an item? That's little more than a single meal at a high end restaurant, for a highly complex device that takes many thousands of man hours to create.

You can't even buy many non-repairable smartphones for that much. This does not demonstrate you valuing a repairable device at all.

I agree with you. I’m not sure what the enforcement mechanism would be though. Boards suing CEOs more frequently over negligence? CEOs buying a certain amount of equity in a company before they join?

CEOs are highly leveraged. One wrong bet could cost the company/employees/shareholders more than a CEO (even a multi-millionaire) could repay.

In reality this leaves the board with recouping maybe a few million from the CEO on a shortfall that may be orders of magnitude bigger. I think pragmatically most boards just move on, let the CEO take the reputations hit, and focus on trying to find someone better.

I’m not sure I’ll trust the intelligence any more in a week than I do now. I think that if Israel accidentally blew up the hospital, they and the US will still say otherwise. I don’t imagine any other country in that region telling me the opposite would be very persuasive.

If the runup to our invasion of Iraq taught me anything, it’s that intelligence can be incorrect or misrepresented to the public for quite some time.

>But if we both claim to know a guy called John Brown, but I say he's kind, generous, hard working but a little dim and you say John Brown is hedonistic, self-entered and brilliant, are we talking about the same person?

I don't think this example really is catching the core of discussion about Allah (The God). Because we both know a president who bombed two cities and by nuclear bombs. Some people will call him a war hero because he ended WWII, Some people will say he is a war criminal. You will always find something like this when you are talking about a human. Maybe it is also not just different opinions, but different access to information can give us different view on the same person. But we agree that we are talking about the same person, I just find this person to be different from what you think he/she is.

Things are totally different from religious point of view. The discussion between Christians and Muslims is mainly about the nature of The God, not that there is "The God". This also might extend to Judaism, but I don't know much about it.

Patient privacy would be my guess.
I agree. And on top of that, neither of us have actually met John Brown face to face. Our _entire_ knowledge of him is based on indirect interactions. We've seen things he's (ostensibly) done, artifacts of his work, we've deduced a set of characteristics about his nature based on his behavior. In a sense, John Brown is nothing more than the label we give to the entity having characteristics A,B,C,D.

So like you say, if the overlap between your A,B,C,D and my A,B,C,D is sufficiently small we should probably acknowledge that it's not the same entity. See also: Ship of Theseus.

> Cool story the usual speech of making it the fault of the consumer ...

it's a three-pronged problem with no single faultee. So there are 3 different approaches.

- change consumer demands to be more environmentally aware. This is the hardest but most effective angle. because if demands shift, business will shift to make money and consumers in democratic regions will vote in those who also care and enact proper regulations.

- make a business that creates that demand. The "Tesla of phones" if you will. This is the "easiest" solution (in the loosest sense of the word) but also the least resiliant. It could fail, or you yourself could fall into the very same rush for profits.

- change the regulations. By encouraging others to support certain laws or being in politics yourself as a champion. Middle of the road, in terms of difficulty and effectivenesss.

>But you might have heard of economy of scale ?

yeah, that's probably why we get these duopolies. providing a global hardware product is absurdly expensive, not really something that can be done by a scrappy startup like software. At that scale companies take every shortcut they can.

Unless you convince existing OEMs to provide these products, the "right" solution will never be the cheapest one. And if consumers care about price comparisons over sustainability, that's a stance in and of itself.
If executive pay is supply and demand, and has risen stratospherically over the past 40 years, why has the supply of executives failed to meet demand for them?

Violence in general and domestic violence especially are not always premeditated. What starts as an attempt by the abuser to hash things out can devolve into violence. A protective order can stop abusers from making the attempt in the first place, and when there is an attempt they can help the victim get more immediate help from law enforcement.

I was. But (a) a lot of things are subsidized as a grad student (my dorm room rent was 30% of market price for the area), and (b) savings are nearly zero. It's close to a paycheck-to-paycheck life unless you have some external income (which I did, via Google Ads that I slapped on a 250K MAU/month website of mine). That external income paid for me to eat healthy, buy outdoor exercise equipment, have a couple shoestring budget vacations per year for mental health, etc.

I'd consider "being able to save enough to continue a modest quality of life for retirement" a normal feature of what describes middle class life.

If you are living paycheck-to-paycheck you'll suffer when you hit old age or have a disabling condition that prevents you from working.

Hospitals are required by EMTALA[1] to treat all emergencu patients to the point of stabilization. So it only makes sense to charge whatever insurance is available because there is no turning them away. Im not sure if there are regulations applicable to hospitals that prevent them from refusing to accept medicaid patients for elective procedures. Certaibly there are lots of surgery centers that do refuse medicaid. Also lots of doctors dont take medicaid/medicare. Its within their right to do so.

For example, what happens between 14:26 and 14:31 and 14:50-14:57, and 15:44-16:33?

Or, we might ask ourselves, why does this interaction seem incredibly one-sided? Before people say "nothing could possibly justify", consider what might have happened between 14:26 and 14:31 and 14:50-14:57, and 15:44-16:33, which is literally the entire premise of the arrest (and omitted from the video).
