> If you listened to a "local conspiracy nut", who was telling you that vaccines don't work,

A broken clock is wrong twice per day, but that doesn't mean you should consider one as a valid NTP server. (and in fact, the conspiracy nut was still wrong, vaccines do work, to prevent hospitalization and death) Basing a guideline off of data, and updating when wrong, is a more rigorous methodology than fabrication and conjecture.

The quantity and quality of evidence available to support an opinion is a relatively way to measure that opinion's validity. That doesn't make them infallible, but it makes them less fallible than opinions that lack quality rationale.

> So, do you want a platform that lets all opinions, "correct" and "wrong", to stay there, or a platform that lets wrong 'facts' (because some authority told them they're facts) stay, while deleting true 'conspiracy theories'.

Usually something in the middle, depending on the specifics. I think too many people are quick to apply broad free speech ideals to everything, when in reality, context, audience, venue, and impact matters a LOT.
I agree with the idea that I would like to see roads redesigned to make them safer.

I'm not sure why it's an either or though. Redesigning roads can certainly slow people down and make them safer but that often comes at the cost of a large planning process and a lot of money spent. Dyanmic speed limits and speed governors could be much simpler to manage.

I think most proposals for speed governors would make it difficult to go over 10 mph above the speed limit under non emergency operation. I don't think anyone would argue that it's safe to drive 10 mph over the speed limit on a redesigned street so why wouldn't a speed govenor be another tool in the toolkit?
> I don't know if I agree. If you look at the most profitable gaming sector - mobile gacha games - some of these games are extremely "horny".

Oh I'm not arguing horny games don't exist or can't be popular. That's the thing with being dishonest with yourself and maybe with regressive attitudes towards sex in general: it's not that people are any different biologically than they used to be, it's just the social climate that people are living in. People will happily parrot on about how everyone is "pornsick" nowadays and then open an incognito window right after. I've experienced the whiplash of witnessing people like this personally. I'm sure it's not literally everyone... but I think in general it's underestimated just how two-faced the average person will happily be.

I don't really know a ton about gacha games, but players of gacha games have certainly developed a ... reputation on the Internet, and media coverage of this has not been very kind either. If social norms hadn't been shifting so much, I'd imagine that micro-transactions and a cutesy art style would be the things people lambaste the most about games like Genshin Impact and their playerbases. Instead, it has taken an oddly dark turn.
"No recovery plan is worth anything if it is not tested regularly."

"An untested recovery plan is worth less than the paper on which it is printed."

> Easy to favor simplicity when the basics in your field hasn't been fully mapped out yet.

Partly this, and partly because average college professors are being compared to some of the greatest scholars of all time.

Figures like Einstein or Feynman were able to simply inherently difficult/complex problems well into the 20th century, and similar people are surely doing the same today.

But often a difficult problem needs to be understood the hard way before it can be simplified down to something that is easier to communicate.
What is 'news about video games?' Can't you just read a dev blog for the technical aspects, and ask the game store clerk what to buy?
Body cameras like this typically have a pretty wide angle lens. They will "see" anything in the wearer's field of vision, unless perhaps he has his head turned far to one side. Easy fix: the camera should be head-mounted or in some way track with head movement.
Why? This doesn't line up to the reality of how headcount is allocated or how budgets are set. Every position has a range the hiring manager can place the new hire in given their experience and fit.
As a consumer, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, I don't want businesses to find it cheap and easy to reach me by text message.
Won’t they likely place you into a salary band once you actually start interviewing and they see what level you’re at? L1 starts at $100k and L7 tops out at $700k+. I would think a range that broad is using a single listing for all levels.

What, there are still people that believe this? That Nathan Grayson never wrote reviews on any game by Zoe Quinn is easily verifiable, like you can just go look at the webpage. The claim has had zero veracity for years, that its false is widely known and documented, theres multiple Wikipedia articles discussing how and why its wrong.

I don't think I've ever read an article on Kotaku, I never read any games news and barely even play them anymore other than occasional Doom Eternal to blow off steam. But I know Grayson and Quinn's names because of how widely and loudly this argument getting disproved was.

I'm honestly kind of amazed to see someone still claiming this. Like I'm back editing more stuff into this because my brain is so confused and still thinking about it.
Well, yes. It’s why national defense is important. As well as laws to prevent that from happening within the nation.
Because police officers are people too and should not suffer the indignity of being recorded while conducting whatever business they need to in the bathroom. On top of the fact that other people could be in there and recording random people in the bathroom should not be allowed either.

It's arguably an asshole move, even if legal. You really just gain the same time as the other people collectively lose between the off ramp and on ramp. In addition you cause additional traffic on the ramps, which might hold up other road users using these ramps normally.

I imagine the Nash-equilibrium of this pattern if more people does this is that there is blocked traffic on the highway between the ramps and also on the ramps.
You have the freedom to choose between 2 identical services and one inferior one. At least where I live, T-Mobile stops working if I head 10 miles west or north. There's even a dead zone half a mile from my home in the middle of a suburb of 100,000 people.

Isn't that only true for civil trials? When pleading the 5th in a criminal trial, the jury is not to make an inference about the lack of testimony. Otherwise pleading the 5th would be pretty meaningless if it was always inferred to mean "I'm guilty".
That sounds like an issue with the evening news to me.
Yes, and I believe the authority of courts to do such things hinges on the difference between "legal sovereignty" (which parliament has) and "political sovereignty" (which it does not). Long article on that here [1] which I'm still reading.

Intel: "LOL get your own microcode."
Huh? Usually (using any of the `embedded_hal` crates) it'll be something like

`let mut gpioa = dp.GPIOA.split();` to get the GPIO A port from the Device Peripherals list `dp`.

`let pa5 = gpioa.pa5.into_push_pull_output();` to declare which pin in that GPIO port you're using, and set it into a push/pull output (input pull up, input pull down, input floating, and output open drain are of course also defined) and then

`pa5.set_high();` to set it high (`pa5.set_low()` for low).

There are HAL modules for most common MCUs, and a few uncommon MCUs. Use the HAL.

The official embedded Rust book also includes how to write such a HAL, which seems to be the bit you stumbled on. Ignore it if you're not writing a new HAL crate.

Not surprising. Twin studies show just how remarkably heritable well-being and life satisfaction are. If you are avoiding the obvious life destructing experiences (addiction, financial insecurity, etc.), I think it's safe to ignore people telling you how to live your life.

That's why you don't leave stuff as important to the people as housing, to a for profit corporation who's accountable to it's shareholders not to the taxpayers.

This scenario feels more like the fictional OCP in Robocop.
As far as I can tell the historical context around the decision is lost, but I wouldn't be surprised if Massachusetts could have been a legitimate barrier to actually eliminating the sections. One piece of historical context we do have is this:

> In 1967, Maine’s first Indian affairs commissioner, anthropologist Edward Hinckley, discovered Maine had received $30,000 from Massachusetts in compensation, but the state never actually set aside new land for the tribes.

If you're Mass. and you created those articles for a reason then I wouldn't find it surprising if you didn't want to help Maine throw them out after they've already violated your will at least once.

All of that is secondary to the fact that they did renege on their promises repeatedly and unabashedly for the next century. Hiding the sections from print could have been an attempt to stop legal challenges before they started, it could have just been out of spite. Who knows, maybe they were very eco-friendly and were worried about all that wasted paper! I find it quite silly to extend such extreme benefit of the doubt to the state government that we already know wanted to escape those treaties and successfully did so before, during, and after passing this amendment.
> the average review score on any large site is not 5/10

Because this score is in relation to the whole market, not just the reviewed games. Journalists only review the promising games, which means usually from established studios, or from unknown developers when they received some positive feedback from the community. But as it's their job, they still see the whole market, they know how low the bottom, and how high the ceiling is.
Yes! Youtube ads have at least doubled in frequency and intrusiveness.

I returned to twitter after over a year, so I could see some links on a few email newsletters I get. Lots and lots more ads, mostly video, and mostly from what look like ChatGPT-generated company names: Dulale, Tuzely, Lucazoo, Lureza, Beitro, Keybla, Starcess. I see the exact same video posted by multiple "companies". How do I know? I make a habit of blocking all Twitter ads. If I see the same video, it's from a different "company".

Session Description Protocol – Definition, History and Explanation
The title is a little misleading: the sections are not "unprintable" due to technical reasons, they are just currently not printed because the constitution itself says they shouldn't be printed...
I would like you to consider that a) the police may be nice to you, a local small town boy, in ways that they are not nice to others, and b) people who are nice to some can in fact do terrible things to others.

For example, consider slavery in America before emancipation. Lots of apparently perfectly lovely people were slave owners. It wasn't a few bad apples or a sprinkling of the lower orders. It was a wide swathe of the society's best, many Founding Fathers included, whose lives were built on massive cruelty to a subset of people because they didn't see them as people. Many were surely nice to their own and to those they saw as peers.

And it's not like that sort of doublethink died out. For example, I am a nice person and I eat meat pretty regularly. I do that by ignoring the cruelty and violence performed on my dime. And when I can't ignore it, I have clever justifications for it. On the rare occasions I meet a cow I find them as charming as I do dogs and cats. Intellectually, I recognize the contradiction. And yet, I'm sure I have many more cheeseburgers ahead of me yet.

Detecting nuclear materials using light
IME whenever I live with someone else my health gets worse. But I'm in the US, where the majority of people don't have healthy habits, and I've worked pretty hard to make my personal habits healthier, which is exceptionally healthy against the US average.

And of the few friends I've known well long enough to see them both single and married, it's become quite apparent that they have a tendency to enable one another to do unhealthy things. For example, one half will decide they want to drink less, but the other half keeps bringing home six packs of beer and drinking in front of them. It's pretty rare IME for both parties to be coordinated in these wagon rides, so there's more temptation in the home to keep falling off the wagon, because the other half isn't on board.

There's also the obvious cycle of single people working hard to make themselves lose weight and get that beach bod going. Once they're hooked up and living with someone, IME it's practically without fail that they get lazy and fatten up.

For me, it's a whole lot easier to stay fit and maintain that physique and not have shitty foods in my home without someone else interfering with my plans. I'm quite confident my long-term health is probably better off without another American sharing my living space. It would be an exceptional American for it not to be true, and I'm just not that skilled in attracting such a catch. It would be a huge failure to let in one of the averages.
Yeah there's stuff there but there are literally bugger all people using it. Even the VHF repeater nets in the UK are pretty dead.

I'm not the original poster, but here's my estimate and source for the same:

2022 production: 1.57 TWh of batteries - https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/lithium-ion-b...

2022 total global electricity use: 28,527.8 TWh - https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/electricity-demand?tab=ch...

1.57 TWh / (28527.8 TWh/y) = 28.93 minutes.

-

For stuff like this I assume batteries will have 50% capacity after 1000 cycles even though this always gets surprised responses insisting they're good for far more cycles, as I think lowballing is a safer assumption. You can always just multiply as appropriate for different assumptions about cycles.

However, that last 50% is still useful in this context, so that's half an hour every day going down to 15 minutes/day after 3 years; assuming it's exponential decay, I think that's a steady state equivalent to 4.3-ish times the production rate? Not sure though[0].

Same graph also forecasts 6.79 TWh/y manufacture in 2030, which is ~2 hours each day instantaneous or 8.6 hours steady-state if my previous assumptions were correct. At that scale, I suspect you also need to start accounting for the impact from variable day lengths meaning there won't be demand to fully discharge the batteries 365 days of the year, and also that demand is lower at night while all the demand numbers I've given assume constant use.

A realistic estimate also needs to account for the impact of nighttime renewables getting used preferentially, further lowering the overall frequency with which the batteries need to go through a complete cycle, and conversely increasing battery demand to account for how well the grid they're connected to can compensate for renewable-unfriendly weather, but that's not the topic of this sub-thread.

Also also, I expect these batteries will probably mostly get used by cars.

Finally, I think recycling is a red herring because I can't believe that getting metals out of batteries is harder than getting the same metals out of literal rocks in the ground.

> but some people are against paying their fair share.

You're right, but you also left it as an exercise to the reader about who the "some people" are. Those "some people" are mostly large corporate entities, like Amazon, that do all sorts of tricks to keep their losses inside the US and their gains outside the US so they can avoid paying taxes on income that was made from US consumers. While I'm more anti-tax than the average person, it's important to understand that anything which sends US consumer spending outside the US en masse is ultimately a detriment to the US society because it enriches other countries while depriving the US of that money continue to flow through the economic cycle. Dead money sitting in accounts in Ireland, Cayman Islands, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Macau reduce the velocity of money in the US and directly contribute to economic slowdowns as well as increasing income inequality within the US society.

It's the biggest reason why, despite being relatively anti-tax, I'm also very much pro buying things made in the US, locally if possible, because it's important that a dollar coming into the community gets spent many times over in the same community to actually improve community welfare. As soon as that dollar exits the community, it's likely lost.

Yes. Given what Netflix pays in general, I would guess that the bottom parts of that range are negotiating shenanigans and no senior security engineer they hire actually makes that little.

> Much current C code is somewhat safe-ish because of Herculean efforts to not screw it up.

Came here to post this but you beat me to it.

We have reasonably safe C/C++ code in some places because of a combination of a huge amount of extra effort to be careful plus years of prior bug fixing and rewriting of that code to use safer practices.
It's a classic thing to take anything printed in that style as gospel. Have you actually read it?

$70-150k is completely reasonable for mid/mid-senior developer position at a small but profitable and growing company, for example. And you can parse a lot of good info from that. $150k is a reasonable if slightly-below-market cap for a mid-senior role. It also tells you that if you're far enough in your career to be looking for $200-250k+ TC roles, you won't waste your time. And if you're stuck at an entry-level role making $60-70k it's worth your time to spend a little more time on that application because it could be a big leg up.
Oh wow, no idea. But that's definitely a big red flag.
The game can't be played with higher stakes; the whole point is that the 2X payoff can only be guaranteed in the first place if the stakes are too low to make any real difference. In the real world, people who refuse to invest in such schemes when the stakes are enough to make a real difference are being rational, because in the real world, nobody can guarantee a 2X payoff with stake amounts that actually matter unless they are running some kind of scam.

That is the basic reason why these games played in academic settings are useless for understanding the actual world outside academia.
Google would not have considered constructing 15k homes had interest rates not been at historic lows. They're not in the construction or real estate business.

And I fail to see what is absurd and obscene, except perhaps the inverse, that low interest rates caused such extreme market distortions that you have a massive company outside of the real estate industry looking into creating 15,000 homes. What is not absurd or obscene about that to you? We don't live in the company-town days any more (not that Google was trying to create a company-town, but they are, again, not in the real estate business).
