Measure 110 has some flaws, but the sensible approach is to see what can be done to course correct rather than just go back to the thing that wasn't working.
As another yardstick, it will cost about 2x the annual world GDP to mitigate all emissions this way. With normal amortisation rates and operating costs, it will be about 1.5x-2x more than entire energy expenditure worldwide.
I wonder if this is simply a scheme to siphon public money. What a good catch for Fox News!

Of course, if $100 per ton ever becomes a reality, then it's just 3% of world GDP and is probably affordable. But that's a pie in the sky "forward looking statement".

Correct this protection is not offered to advertisers. Advertisers have no legal rights to leverage to get access to such a feature.

However, it is offered to Brands that own legally protected Intellectual Property. Through Brand registry Brands can have their search pages protected when the customer searches for legally protected keywords (eg AirPods).

Context: I was the lead engineer that worked with the Ads teams and designed the architecture to integrate Brand Registry and Ads systems.

Even when I worked there (ie while the feature was still in Beta), Apple was not the only Brand to get this treatment. There were many other Brands in the beta for this feature.

Anectodal, but my friend worked in a prison in illinois - he was forced to work 12 hour days, sometimes consecutively, while being constantly short staffed.

He ended up gaining about 30 pounds in about 6 months from the job, and could only get normal hours from a doctor telling them to stop working him to death.

Wonder how much longer people will put up with this before they simply sit out society, and quietly die. Better than dying exhausted, i suppose.

Now if search were the only means of discovery, that would be bad. Imagine if no two pages linked together: everything had to be found in an index. That's a strawman though.
Search complements other modes of discovery.

How about REdiscoverability. You remember some feature in the program and some words related to it, but ... where the heck was it? Search can help.
The article suggests but does not explicitly describe adding noise, but it doesn't matter because the conclusion is the same:

They're pretty plainly putting it in as a clause of the contract for sale aren't they... not claiming that IP law allows them to unilaterally enforce this (which is the point at which the first sale doctrine would come into play).

Thanks for the citation. It seems to be

1. A case prohibiting this sort of clause when selling to distributors while previously you claimed this sort of clause was only valid when selling to distributors. So I'm left wondering what the basis was for your previous post.

2. Overturned by Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc. Which instead introduces a "rule of reason" based approach for determining whether or not a contraint on resale is anticompetitive and prohibited.

3. Miles, and Leegin, both seem to be about manufacturers attempting to impose a minimum price on their goods. Tesla, strangely, instead seems to be attempting to impose a maximum price (hence the right of first refusal at a pre-defined price). As such the dicta in Leegin seems to suggest to me that attempting to impose a maximum price wouldn't violate the "rule of reason", but potentially only because it wasn't something the court considered at all, so it might violate another ruling.

Similarly, do examples provided for scraper programs and libraries ever include "most real world sites".
How about criminalizing public drug use only?

Just for the sake of argument here, supposing someone is addicted to drugs in private, and legalization is at a stage where they can get quality product that they're not going to overdose on easily. Is that actually a problem for society? Like, if you prefer to live a lifestyle where you sleep under a bridge and spend the money you would've used for housing on drugs, maybe that's just a personal choice that's yours to make? The only problem I see here is -- how is it that these drug addicts are funding their habit? I'm thinking through criminal activity in many cases?

Maybe the drugs are fulfilling some need, so simply escaping the addiction is counter-productive to their lives. Maybe the rehab to escape the addiction needs to be packaged with other sorts of rehabs that help them obtain healthier alternatives to fulfill those needs that are being met by the drugs.

Quick search online:

> Addiction isn’t as simple a concept as it may seem on the surface. From an outside perspective, addiction can be seen as a simple propensity for substance abuse. However, on mental, physical and emotional levels, there’s a lot more to addiction. From a behavioral perspective, using drugs becomes a way of life. Most friends and social situations revolve around drugs, especially as drugs start to replace former social connections and hobbies. --- https://fherehab.com/learning/mind-motives-addicted-drugs/

So, at least, rehab on building healthy social connections is also needed.

Finding a better solution to the drug problem is unlikely to be as simple as just decriminalizing.

I also wonder if the fact that decriminalization is done in a patch-work manner location-wise is also part of the problem. I wonder if it's easier or harder for homeless people to relocate to places where their activities aren't criminal. They likely have less material things tying them down to a location, but they may also rely more on the face-to-face social ties they already have.
Absolutely. We should be able to successfully sue credit rating agencies for monetary damages if they tell a lender false information about us and it causes us to not get a loan or have a higher rate than is warranted. It should not matter whether they know it’s false. The harm happens regardless of whether they were negligent or malicious.

The horror of the current approach is the concentrated influx of drug users from other states that magnified the issue in California and Oregon. I am resigned to the fact that everyone waits around for the current wave of users to simply die off. If the decriminalization was distributed evenly among the states, there would be a chance for somewhat orderly transition.

I don't think it's fixed yet.
The material works by having very low emissivity / absorptivity at sunlight wavelength so that sunlight is scattered back out, and by having high emissivity at typical earth temperature blackbody peak wavelength, so it radiates out heat effectively.

Sunlight that is scattered off the roof can scatter back off other roofs before heading into space. Likewise radiation that is emitted by the roof can be absorbed and then re-emitted by other roofs before heading off into space. Neither of these preclude the roof from doing its job.

At the end of the day, the roof will effectively reflect back sunlight from the high temperature sun, while radiating infrared radiation into the low temperature sky, and have a neutral energy balance with the surrounding earth / houses / trees / objects which are at a similar temperature to it.
The war on illegal drugs hasn't worked because... a lot of people died from other, legal prescription pharmaceuticals?
Measure 110 did two things:

- recreational drug possession became a ticketable offense, similar to traffic violations. You have the choice of fighting the ticket or going to treatment

- funded treatment with $300mm from cannabis taxes

The problem is Oregon took years to decide who to give the treatment money to. Only last year did they actually start funding treatment.

In the meantime, police hadn't been writing tickets, since the treatment options didn't actually exist yet.

Essentially drug use was entirely ignored for a couple years.

So is measure 110 a failure? It's too soon to say. Certainly the rollout has been.

One unintended consequence is that Oregon has no law against public drug use, leaving this issue to cities/counties. If they don't have such a law, public drug use is essentially legal, since police used to rely on possession to stop it.

One thing that has gone right is the reduction of the burden on the court system. The state saved about $40mm over the first 3 years.

Your analogy would make more sense if roofs didn't actually keep people dry, and instead caused several other forms of harm. And people kept insisting we have them anyways based on fundamentalist moralizations.

Without belaboring the analogy, the truth is anyone who wants drugs can get them, right now. So we're not stopping that - but instead we're creating several new kinds of harm. Around marking people as felons, social stigma, loss of income sending people to prison, arrest, and that's before we even talk about how shit the US penal system is. Prison by the way? Full of drugs, and reason for people to want an escape.

Of course making it illegal also creates a black market which is basically the only reason cartels exist.

The reality is it's a mental health issue, and a particularly interesting one - for instance, American GIs addicted to heroin in Vietnam came home and the vast majority of them just stopped using it cold turkey. Fascinating right? [1]

Decriminalization and treating it as a mental health issue -- and sentencing addicts to rehab makes infinitely more sense.

Actually, the way they work is "x company told me y person has <this account> with <these details>". For non-celebrities, it is only defamation if it amounts to at least negligence in verifying these facts - i.e. negligent only if they have reasonable knowledge to believe the information is false. When you report to the bureaus that an account is fraudulent, that is effectively giving them notice that the account in question is not actually yours, and by removing it from your report, it's relieving them of the liability of spreading such defaming information in the future.

Two (?) some years ago a review story about Oregon's decriminalization policy was here on HN and I said that I didn't think it was a good idea, and was kind of shouted down by people saying, "this is the only rational choice, to do what works and stop penalizing people which costs a lot and doesn't change their behavior".

Well, you can make stepwise rational choices all the way down into oblivion and watching your cities and states fall apart. It may be kind and more rational, but you've removed disincentives to use drugs and find yourselves in a society where you've attracted and created the conditions for this behavior to continue.

No matter what your policy stance on the potential solutions, it is not good to be having a society where people are using serious drugs without penalty.

Oh well, lesson learned, especially for people who thought they were liberal. Unfortunately at great expense and pain.
