In my hypothetical situation, we're producing PLA for the sole and expressed purpose of sequestering CO2.

My reasoning was that PLA degrades less readily than plant matter, so less likely to release CH4. But I hadn't thought of the fact that if you bury plant matter deep enough, CH4 emissions likely aren't as high a concern.
> didn't vote for it, or against it

Outside urban centres and select belts of the country, unions poll poorly. A candidate running on pro-union credentials will perform the same as, or underperform, one who is neutral on the issue. Ignoring the trust deficit American unions have with the public is partly why this situation isn’t changing.

> citizens don't get to vote on individual laws

Most American states have referenda. Even in deep blue states, like New York and California, it’s typically a struggle to get pro-union ballot measures through.

Yup. History is a battleground; so is politics, and in some cases geography. Even food can be a battleground; "Biryani" is on my watchlist. It is constantly being vandalized, to state that the canonical version belongs to this or that community.

Interestingly, articles on religion don't seem to be battlegrounds to anything like the same extent.
I find it a good source just for the non-political reason that the "news" is obsessed with "what just happened" and "what's about to happen (maybe)" and Wikipedia is more of a summary of the whole topic.
Interesting! Formal logic is a completely separate series of courses at my University.

Now that you mention it, that is a very odd choice by my University. Formal logic seems very relevant to analysing the rest of the philosophical works.

What I've always wondered is: Does the larger footprint lead directly to a taller truck?

Is is it just that an F-150 that is as tall as a 1990 Ranger would look silly or something? The 1990s Buick Roadmaster Estate is not just 17" shorter in length than an F-150 Super Cab with a 6.5' bed, but also 17" shorter in height, which makes a sharing the road with these trucks bad (even before they are raised, which seems relatively common).

My dad wanted an 8' bed standard cab for his work and got an old one with almost 200k miles and I was slightly surprised to see it wasn't a step-up cab, while it seems like all modern trucks are.

[edit]

The Roadmaster Estate is also 8" shorter in height than the Ford Maverick, despite having a longer length; granted the Buick keeps its maximum height for a longer part of the length, but it has a shorter hood, and from the cab-back the Maverick doesn't go under 50" until the bumper.

One thing (perhaps the thing) that makes Wikipedia great is that it doesn't seek the truth. Instead, it seeks verifiability. This means that editors don't have to be experts to write articles, which is the main reason the site is useful at all.

The truth can be very elusive. So it makes sense to move that burden to the sources.

What would the motivation be, for the rest of the actors in this conspiracy?

If anything, I'd say the "conspiracy" — or at least, the tacit collusion — is on the other side of this battle.

What few demographic studies we've done on the prevalence of pedophilia, say that something like 10% of men express some level of attraction toward children. (With almost none of them ever acting on this attraction, or mentioning it to anyone other than a psychiatrist.)

So potentially 10% of men everywhere — scattered all throughout industry and government — have clear motivation to push back against the creation of laws that would see their proclivities discovered and persecuted.

Of course, such people wouldn't out themselves by just defending the "rights of pedophiles" in any direct way. But they would act on any opportunity to ensure that mechanisms for "complete privacy" exist; and they would also stand behind others when they see them doing the same; and they would also learn all the rhetoric used by privacy advocates, and use it.

(Yes, there are other people on the side of "no wiretaps" besides pedophiles. I'm not saying "we can ignore the people against wiretaps because they're all just pedophiles anyway." What I'm saying is more that, insofar as "10% of men" is an accurate measure, that's a big implicit voting interest bloc! Probably one larger than all the world's egalitarian "privacy advocates" put together! And so there has always — and will always — be this group with their thumb on the scale, tipping any democratic action in society away from panopticons, for that group's own protection.)

Salaam seems like a fine person, but it's worth noting he was basically hand-appointed to restore the Keith Wright political dynasty to power (https://gothamist.com/news/harlem-shake-up-how-a-council-ups...).

I would argue the opposite. There's no way to have a nuanced and constructive topic if it ever touches, either by implicit or explicit association, other sensitive topics. Example, create a list of the qualities that a country must fulfill to be socialist, compare that list with the characteristics of countries that are considered socialist, and find examples of countries that fit those characteristics and ask yourself why they are not considered socialist. At the end of the argument you notice that there are no country totally socialist, capitalist, communist or any other economic theory. Every country is a piecemeal of different concepts and policies that may or may not make sense in conjunction to everything else. But socialism/communism bad.

Before starting intermittent fasting I decided to try out a 24 hour fast, just to see how it would feel, and I felt abysmal and ravenous by the end. But after eventually starting intermittent fasting (which I ended up doing for at least 3-4 years), I had a few times where I would casually fast for nearly two days just by skipping my window one day, and it was not especially difficult.

Our bodies are so absurdly adaptive to just about anything we can throw at them. And so it makes sense, in some weird way, that if you're going to do something - doing it to an extreme degree can make things easier than going half way, since you optimize for the adaptive response from your body.

Parent used "Java 5" as an example. Java 5 somehow in my mind is from like the 200x era.

But no. I practically mean any complicated back end technology that takes corporations months or years to migrate off of because its quite complicated and requires an intense amount of technical savoir-faire.

My point was that ChatGPT bypasses all this and any middle manager can start using it anywhere for a small hit to his departmental budget.

There is no such thing as a "union-contract". What you meant is that
there was a collective bargaining agreement in place at one employer
which prevented them from paying you less than some minimum. That you
then failed to negotiate a higher salary than the minimum is on you
and not the union.

Nope. Unions have barred active members of Sweden Democrats from becoming
functionaries, but have not terminated their memberships. For
developers, unions still offer insurances and have pretty good lawyers
which can negotiate agreements if there are disputes over, for
example, IP, patents, or severance packages.

How can the unions exclude members, let alone based what political party they are connected to? At least here in Finland my union has no idea about my politics.

The Sweden Democrats counterpart Finns party can and do enlist in union elections just like anybody. Their success isn't great, but that may be explained e.g. by the party being quite anti-union? For example as we speak they are trying to push laws to restrict strikes and union representation.

Maybe there's similar dynamic in Sweden?
the word 'care' is doing a lot of work here.

Not all code is created equally, not all code needs to be clean or have a lot of time spent on it. Many times those who "care" about clean code have difficulty understand when it is, and isn't appropriate.
They do need to coerce people for funding, which might as well be the same thing. That’s like saying “people aren’t forced to attend public schools” - well yeah, but by forcing them to pay for it anyways you leave many with little other option. Meanwhile a quarter of American roads are private. Private transportation would exist with or without force. And in anything other than a big city, private transportation continues to be superior than even the most well funded public transport.
Yes, these EU rules only apply to services with a European user count above a certain threshold, and therefore not to unsuccessful services.

The product currently named Google Chat is Google’s replacement for Google Hangouts for the purpose of Internet-based individual and group asynchronous chat purposes, that’s (badly) attempting to compete with Slack and Microsoft Teams rather than iMessage.

Google’s iMessage competitor is already open for interoperability, supporting not only SMS (like iMessage) but also the RCS standard for rich individual and group asynchronous messages, which Apple could add RCS to iMessage but doesn’t want to.

So, within the product space in which iMessage is the US market leader (and which WhatsApp leads in Europe), Google already is open and interoperable like the EU would want, but Apple isn’t. In this comment I’m not discussing motivations or making a judgment (beyond agreeing that Google Chat isn’t very successful), just describing facts.

Disclosure: I used to work for Google, but not for more than 8.5 years now, and I never worked on or set policy for any of the products I’m discussing in this comment. I’m speaking here only on my own behalf, not on Google’s, nor relying on any Google-internal information for what I’ve said above.

Calling Amsterdam an ideal city for cycling is a stretch.
It's coldish, it rains quite a lot and it's very windy.

Things would be a lot easier for people on bikes here in
Milan, Italy where I live... except that they are not.

It's not so safe during rush hour, and it's full of people who
would rather take their stupid car instead of walking half a mile.

Distances are larger in North America, but climate-wise people cycle more in NYC or in Minneapolis than they do in Atlanta or in Dallas.

To sum it up: make cycling as safe as possible, and discourage car use, and especially car abuse -- picking up kids from school with an SUV, for example.
Open a TCP connection from the instance to the cloud service. I don't know about all consumer routers, but I just checked mine and the default TCP established timeout is 7440 seconds. Idle timeouts are supposed to be at least 2 hours.

If you served the entire US (130 million households) and had a 1 hour keepalive, that's only 36k packets per second, which is nothing.

You could also auto-train the idle timeout by using a pair of TCP connections. One uses a known good value while the other probes upwards until it finds its connections start getting closed (with some optional binary search fanciness), feeding new known good values back to the first.

(Obviously the no-cloud solution is better still)
> In theory supply and demand should force prices back down over time, but ongoing consolidation/monopolies/backdoor price fixing (RealPage, Amazon Marketplace) kinda broke the efficient market stuff.

One way this could happen is if salaries increased to match the new prices over time. The issue is that we are not seeing that happening, prices are increasing much faster than salaries, while corporate profits break records.

The money is flowing upwards, at some point people will get very fed up with that...

https://mitpress.mit.edu/author/jeremy-g-siek-37497/ - He has two books, both are also available through open access. One is in Python implementing a Python-ish language and the other in Racket implementing a Scheme-ish language.

I ran through the first half or so of both versions earlier this year while looking for material for a colleague (and a few other books, courses, and tutorials). Overall I like the approach which is based on the nanopass compiler concept mentioned by some other commenters. You get a functioning compiler (as in it produces an executable program) very early, and then spend the rest of the book extending the language and adding passes.

Interesting thought. The notion that GDPpopulation has to grow comes comes from that economic system. The problem is that the economic system dictates policy to such a large extend that democracy is a farce.

Interesting list. It’s striking that there are 10 rules, in a way taking the framework of the 10 commandments.

I’d say this set is weaker, in that it seems to reenforce a bit of self-centeredness and says little to nothing about loving your neighbor. Whereas the 10 commandments are summed up as love God and love your neighbor — both outward focusing. With dos and don’ts that are all outward facing, ex. Do not steal, do not covet, do not bear false witness, honor your mother and father.

That said #6 “‘There’ is no better than ‘here’” is a good reminder. A parallel to “do not covet your neighbor’s house, or your neighbor’s wife, or anything that is your neighbor’s” (paraphrase)

That doesn't make sense. In general, "write offs" just means subtracting a cost from profit, along with the cost they pay for the items that are successfully sold. (Unless you know some special tax result that allows them to deduct more than the price of the damaged item)

I'd guess it's something to do with the margin being much much higher than we imagine. Like it's sold for $100, but it only costs $10-$20 incremental cost to produce. Hence why I'd think the manufacturer would be eating returns, because that allows them to keep their margin higher.
> Can we really use Stoicism to make our lives better, or is it just a ruse to sell more books?

A few takeaways from reading about the Stoic philosophy:

- Focus on what you can control.

- Amor Fati. The love of fate. Transmute everything into a lesson to be learned and something to grow from.

- If it's bearable, endure it with wisdom and grace.

- Does it agree with natural law? Is something in line with nature? If it's an abomination, leave it immediately.

- Memento mori. Remember you will die. Live every day as if it's your last. Don't postpone.

I don't know anything about this situation, but to play devils advocate here, if my goals were not in alignment with the union bosses or whatever group is trying to get me to sign. I would avoid even reading the terms if there wasn't real market pressure to do so. If a group exists explicitly trying to be an authority over how I behave but we have nonaligned goals, I'm never going to make it painless for them to have input on how I behave. I would want them to know I will operate as I deem correct until I have goals that can't be met without their approval.

They could be trying to force me to sign a contract that simply says I'll operate however I want to and if I believed they were an opposing force and not a partner I wouldn't sign it until I was force to sign it.
I was talking about the predominant contributing factor to anti-union sentiment in the US, not that there aren't legitimate gripes against unions.

When looking at the vast amount of energy and resources dedicated by the wealthy and by corporations over the last hundred years to crush unions in the US, the government going so far as to murder strikers and violently oppose them on behalf of those interests, legislation like the Taft-Hartley act, etc etc. -- it seems clear to me that forces external and opposed to the unions are far more influential in the erosion of those unions than legitimate internal gripes by union members.
