It turns out you can put whatever text you want in the alt text field and it won't get clocked by the scolds because they don't actually care enough to check. It's enough that it appears compliant in a surface-level audit.

However, there is an issue suggesting adding an automated scold in the Mastodon client (and Megalodon already has such a scold, plus a (!) of shame on images without alt text) https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/13894

I have yet to find an actual vision-impaired person complaining about missing alt text. I'm sure there is one somewhere, but it mostly seems to be a phenomenon on Mastodon for a few people to use as a cudgel to feel superior.

> The most up-to-the-minute example I can think of is "CSAM" which removes all pain of the victims. For those not in the know "kiddie porn" as it was once known was rebranded to "child rape images", then "child abuse images" now finally "child sexual abuse images" which is now so long that it is oft abbreviated CSAM.

There are several good reasons for this, one of which is that poorly-thought-out child pornography laws have beem used to charge and convict children for taking photos of their own bodies. Explicitly defining the prohibited material as "child sexual abuse images" puts a stop to that when it's obvious that no abuse or exploitation occurred.

And of course we use PTSD instead of "battle fatigue" because it affects many millions of people who have never been near a battle.

These are not good examples.

It's a classic market failure. But attacking cost is not the way forward. Improving quality is the way forward. There is a level of quality at which 17% GDP would be a bargain.

Edit: To be clear, the 17% is more a system footprint than a cost. The number we want is GDP delta with one system versus some other system, irrespective of system size.

It's definitely not funny.

Germany's GDP is estimated at $4.4 trillion for 2023.

In 2008, the high before the crash, it was $3.7 trillion. Inflation adjusted that should be $5.4 trillion just to be even with 2008. They have never recovered.

During the good years of the 1990s for the global economy, 1995 was the peak for Germany, and that high was $2.6 trillion. That is $5.3 trillion today. You can pick most years from the 1990s though and it's a bad outcome inflation adjusted to today.

28 years later and the economy needs to increase by 20% just to catch up to where they were in the mid 1990s.

The reason Germany has passed Japan is because they have been suffering from an even worse economic stagnation the past two decades.

How long can Germany pretend things are fine?

> It can not possibly "go deeper" then sourced factual history

Honestly, I think that's wrong. "Proper" historians make up a lot of stuff; they tell stories, because otherwise their work would simply be lists of citations. What they do is called history, because they are professional acaemic historians. But professional story-tellers can make up stories based on the same citations.

> It can not possibly "go deeper" then sourced factual history.

OK, well I think "factual history" is a dodgy concept. "Facts" about the past change every decade or so. The past becomes foggy immediately, then it turns into legend, then into myth.
Many countries that aren't systematized to the same degree as advanced economies don't report the true level of crime, and those who rely on tourism have additional incentive not to.

I don’t think that’s the problem. There are so many different ways to look at a system. An architectural diagram shows you how components connect. A procedural diagram shows you what steps a program takes. An entity diagram shows you the major high level entities you’ve selected into your system. I just don’t see how a single language can express all the detail. Maybe a new one can be invented but I don’t see how S expressions solve this (the link you posted don’t have any indication that any diagram generation is part of the language). Also, diagrams can be useful even if they have birotted because discrepancies are a good teaching tool - “why does this diagram say x but the code seems to do y” is a tracing opportunity, an opportunity to update the diagram, and highlights which engineers are paying attention.

Maybe if LLMs get sufficiently advanced they can generate this stuff more automatically with some minor prompting with the code as context, but I doubt it. Not until AI can actually start understanding sentiment from code.
lots of bitcoin from large old blocks have moved before, it is news within the crypto space and pretty fun drama. bitcoin from blocks from when satoshi was mining have moved before, and people start rumors that this exact thing is occurring and turned out not to be a satoshi block.

price dips have happened over these movements. the rumor mill is pretty cyclical. the price dips have had less and less magnitude over the years, as there are so many computing bullish and bearish forces in bitcoin now. headlines today that move bitcoin up 1% would have crashed bitcoin 35% a decade ago.

bitcoin has a lot more liquidity now, or in some periods of time has a lot more liquidity than now. a large sell can be absorbed. people's confidence in the bitcoin concept doesn't really shake just because someone selling ... runs out of things to sell.

many large bitcoin holders don't want govbucks, or state currency. they can do so much with their bitcoin, mostly earning yield by depositing it into something yield producing in the crypto economy, investing in other projects, supporting causes they believe in. it isn't important to them if a team or merchants gets govbucks somewhere down the line or immediately.
There's some arguments behind why you might want to not lay blame plainly (and especially publicly) on an individual, within a business team setting.

- Laying direct blame on someone may lead them to trying to hide problems to avoid the pain/shame in the future.

- Related - everyone makes honest mistakes. Creating and environment where people feel ok admitting to these is a lot more ideal than the alternative.

- Teams should be encouraged to take collective ownership, such that if someone who works with xyzelement sees them failing to prioritize, they need to do something about it, even if it's just raising a concern early in the project with those who need to hear said concern.

That all said, sometimes people do need direct feedback (in private), especially when they are struggling in general with their job.

Hi, author here. Thanks for checking out Bifrost. The short pitch is: any protocol over any transport with seamless cross-platform (browser <-> native) communication.

Building internet applications often involves writing code that is tightly integrated with the choice of communications transport, for example, one has to make the design decision to use either WebSockets or WebRTC, and then all other design decisions are driven by that.

Bifrost aims to allow developing applications without knowing or caring which protocols are used under the hood. The app can just say "Open a stream with peer X" and whatever configured transport(s) make that happen.

I'm still working to improve the docs and new user experience, if you have any suggestions on how I can make it easier to understand, I'd greatly appreciate it!
And women are underpaid relative to men because for the past 4,000 years they have statistically been diverted away from the workforce and into child-raising. By the magic of basic math, that means men are overpaid!

you must realize that a high end butcher has nothing to do with a meat factory where the bulk of our meat is coming from?

Bring your family to the one where they crush the male chick on a conveyor belt next time. ( chick culling, you can find video online and watch it before the omelet dinner )

Or just a good ol’ bunch of pigs understanding very well what’s gonna happen and try to escape.
It’s kinda cute.

Or you could discuss why a cow produce milk.
That it needs to had deliver a calf recently. And how impregnate the cow ( it’s a “rape rack” device ) and then finish by the cow following the calves in despair over cookie and milk.

A butcher is not a industrial meat factory.

The latter are the issue.

You're right, they now are required by federal law to provide "just compensation", but that wasn't always the case, and even so, they are not required to reach a settlement with you. If you like the price or not, that's what they are paying and that's what you're getting. It's also true that if we go back in time far enough, the land is always being taken from someone. I am speaking about the times since the government was established, because it would be hard for me to say things about something before it existed.

It wasn't always the case that land claimed with eminent domain was for public use, either. There's a long history of the government taking people's land, throwing money at them and using it for things not in the best interest of the public.

> The Supreme Court's decision in Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005) went a step further and affirmed the authority of New London, Connecticut, to take non-blighted private property by eminent domain, and then transfer it for a dollar a year to a private developer solely for the purpose of increasing municipal revenues.

> Eminent domain has been used to acquire land from African-Americans for urban renewal redevelopments[25] and in other cases to dispossess them and remove them from areas where their presence was not desired by white neighbors, e.g. Bruce's Beach subdivision in Los Angeles, California.[26] Seneca Village was an African-American majority settlement in an area of what became New York City's Central Park. South Glencoe was an African-American neighborhood in Glencoe, IL[27] Central Avenue was an African-American neighborhood in Tampa, Florida.

> Eminent domain was used to take property from Japanese-Americans incarcerated by the United States government during World War II. For many, their homes and businesses were then sold while they were incarcerated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminent_domain_in_the_United_S...

So, you're right, people are paid when their property is taken without consent, as they should be, but the whole practice is still a shit one to have happen to you. I think my main point, that owning land, the thing America was built on and was preached to me growing up, isn't a thing you are ever guaranteed, even after you purchase the land.
I wonder if making it easier for patients to find the most promising trial would improve the advancement of medicine.

To start, Dutch company T-Minus will launch a rocket from the German-Offshore Spaceport Alliance (GOSA) mobile platform.

This company apparently doesn't even produce orbital rockets:
https://www.t-minus.nl/post/barracuda-rocket-at-esa-pac-symp...

Their largest in-development rocket is tiny, like a 1/4th the size of New Shepherd? Nowhere is it mentioned what orbital rocket would be launching from this spaceport. Just back of napkin I can't imagine you'll see any orbital payload delivered from this pad by 2030?

The obvious thing for Europe to do would be have ESA fund a replica of NASA's COTS/CCDev/HLS programs, which have overall delivered stunning return on investment and arguably the only reason China isn't absolutely dominating space launches now. This type of token "spaceport to nowhere" pet project is going to deliver absolutely zilch. Ariane 6 is a dead end and there appears to be no plan forward.
> In the US healthcare is 1/5 or more of the entire economy, so who profits from 1/5 of all US economic activity is a silly premise.

It's really not. If you asked the same question about Russia and their oil economy and oligarchs it would be perfectly reasonable despite the size.
Well this is just wrong, so I don't really know how to respond. You're probably thinking about monopolies such as Facebook, Google, or the like, where not only does code quality not matter, but not much matters at all. Most businesses do not have this luxury.
I've been in those situations. Your description here does not match my experiences at all.

I _hate_ the vernacular of "fighting cancer". As a leukemia survivor, it wasn't a fight. You don't punch back. It's more akin to public flogging. My body was absolutely destroyed by the treatments, and as I watched myself turn from a human being to a not-yet-dead skeleton, I had to endure people calling me "brave" and a "fighter". It absolutely felt like public mocking (though the people around me certainly did not intend anything of the sort). I was forced to watch my loved ones struggle with my impending death. Only a couple people were able to actually discuss death with me, with everyone else dancing around the topic like I had nothing more than a bad sunburn.

I never lost hope, but I was expecting to die. The "fight" worldview kept my loved ones emotionally distant and distracted. Maybe that was good for their own mental health, but it certainly didn't help mine.
> after dealing with both negligence and worse overselling elsewhere.

Glad that I’m not the only one who notices this drop off in practitioner quality and focus on upselling. The only thing they even discuss at dentist visits are the optional, expensive cosmetic treatments. When you make it clear you have no interest they end the conversation and leave.

It’s like they have all bought the same practice management course. Once you realize what they are doing it feels very sleezy.

If you have someone running around threatening people with a bow and arrow if they don't give up their money on the claim that Robin Hood will give it to the poor, the people who refuse are not inherently doing it because they hate poor people.

I get what you mean.

But we also have this thing called Science. Where a firsthand encounter with nonlinguistic reality is considered key. And Science has proven its power over and over.

And you'd think that would impress people. Even if you lay the forms and products of our modern scientific culture aside. Just that philosophy. The supremacy of observation. You'd think it would lead to a momentary pause in the babble.

But no.
