I did read the intro, it similarly fails to define what does "danger" or "impaired" mean from the perspective of a webserver and why it would matter as part of the protocol. There's just nothing here that makes me think "this seems like something HTTP should be concerned about":

> create a dangerous situation, there is a pattern of erratic requests with the potential for danger, or the requester is otherwise detected as impaired.

"The risk a given requester represents" I mean... this is just so nebulous. Is this a special status code for webserver running in a breathalyzer? I'm convinced this is some kind of post-AI satire.

To be clear I understand the need for specialized devices to prevent misuse and user error. But the HTTP protocol is like, the worst possible choice for where to build that out. This is a layer 0 concern, not layer 7.

Who knows though. Maybe in a decade when Alcohol-as-a-Service startups are delivering fine liquor directly via the built-in straw of some next-gen Oculus headset, my virtual bartender will leverage this status when they cut me off.
It’s a bit hard to figure out what she thinks she’s going to accomplish here. This isn’t Call of Duty. MS/OpenAI has national security implications. There’s a reason SpaceX gets what it wants in the end with the FAA and EPA.
My mistake.

My question stands, then: does "legalize and regulate" mean that there would be regulations preventing the stated problems in Portland, and that they'd be actually enforced? Or is it essentially just the same as plain legalization?
We are still increasing the usage of fossil fuels.

> If the user chose iOS maybe they chose it because they wanted the curated experience and the locked it product.

This would make a lot more sense in a world where users have more choice. If you want to make this argument, you probably need regulators to step in and enforce standards and interoperability such that consumers have more choice, along more different axes than they currently do (2-ish operating systems, determined by the hardware you buy).

That's backwards compatibility, and most languages give at least some consideration to it.

Hare wants forwards compatibility, for which the equivalent statement for Go would be "Go 1.21.4 code will compile with the Go 1.0 compiler".

For the recyclability of glass - absolutely. But when we're dealing with windows for houses, while they are recyclable, we're not talking about the glass bottle cycle (wine bottles, beer bottles, soda bottles), but rather windows that tend to be on the 10 year (or longer) length of time.

The recyclability of the house that I currently reside in (different house) has windows that are at least 40 years old (and possibly some that are at least 80). The most recent ones were some done about 20 years ago, and I've got no intention of replacing them (they work quite well).

Glass is recyclable and I wholly advocate its use for bottles and the like.

But how old are the windows in your house? When you replace them - will they be recycled or thrown out with other structural construction waste? When your garage door gets replaced (that's 30 years old), will you separate out the three one foot square windows from that top panel and send that separately to the recycling center? Or will it all get tossed in the large garbage hauler?

I'm not saying that this is good, but rather that the use case for glass (or similar material) for a window in construction tends to have a different life cycle than the wine bottle.
Beavers do absolutely everything humans could possibly want. Drought resistance, flood prevention, water filtration, wildfire refuge and firebreaks, riparian habitat for fish and songbirds. I'm always happy to see a story about them coming back.
My view (based on a lot of RISC research) is that this isn't a meaningful question. As computer architect John Mashey said: there are CPUs for which RISC/CISC is probably not a very relevant classification, such as older CPUs or embedded processors or specialized ones. Tortuous arguments about whether a 6502, or a PDP-8, or an IBM 360/44, or an XDS Sigma 7, etc are RISC or CISC do not usually lead to great insight.
It'd be easy to rule this out. Cats who have been indoor-only without access to rodents are unlikely to have it. This would be a good distinction to collect/analyze if wanting to add credibility to the toxoplasmosis theory and rule out other cat related factors.
Hmm. My schizophrenic relative really likes cats. Could it just be a genetic predisposition to like cats is related to a genetic predisposition to the illness?

You can't really read the language at face value. 'Services' is defined term in the contract:

> “Services” means any services for businesses and developers we make available for purchase or use, along with any of our associated software, tools, developer services, documentation, and websites, but excluding any Third Party Offering.

Of course it's still language, and one can quibble with any language, but it's reasonably restrictive.
Well, in Vim, "switching to normal mode" can be thought of as "ending an insert command" instead of "switching modes", which makes sense as soon as you realize that normal mode is, well, normal.

So when you press "o", I don't think "switch to insert mode". I think "insert a line with the following text:", which can then be undone with u, repeated with ., or whatever else you want.

At least that's my mental model of Vim, I don't know which is closer to reality.
In the case of Apple, it's the same market. Because the only way to get access to the App Store is through an iPhone bought from Apple. And the only way to run an iOS app is with the same iPhone.
I think when people say "get rid of the TSA", they really mean "get rid of all the security theater the TSA is responsible for". I don't think anyone means to say that there should be zero security checks on the path to board an airplane. Granted, before 9/11 (after which the TSA was created), airport security was handled by lots and lots of non-coordinating security companies, and standards were not uniform.

But IMO pre-9/11 airport screening was more or less just fine. The two biggest things that deter plane hijackings are 1) armored and (almost) always-locked cockpit door, and 2) the widespread understanding among passengers that if someone hijacks your plane, you should probably fight them, as there's a good chance the hijackers have suicidal intentions and you'll die regardless.

(And even if #2 fades away, #1 is still a pretty damn potent defense.)

Putting people through millimeter wave body scanners is unnecessary. Limiting (and requiring people remove and present) liquids is unnecessary. Removing large electronics is unnecessary. Removing a light jacket is unnecessary. Removing shoes is unnecessary.

Basically if we just made the TSA Pre Check screening process the standard for everyone (and dropped the liquid limits), we'd be fine.

Marketing of legal prescription drugs can be restricted in certain ways, but it has to be allowed unless we modify the First Amendment. Freedom of expression is a fundamental right and can't be casually eliminated just because we don't like the results.
From the way I see it described here, it's more in-depth hardware attestation on newer models. So they're doing the good security thing here, but also not making millions of users' lives worse by outright blocking old phones that don't have the necessary hardware features to perform this attestation. x (5? 15?) years in the future they'll block super old stuff that doesn't meet these security requirements.
That's not what the source meta-analysis[0] says: "Our findings support an association between cat exposure and an increased risk of broadly defined schizophrenia-related disorders; however, the findings related to PLE as an outcome are mixed. There is a need for more high-quality studies in this field." (DOI: 10.1093/schbul/sbad168 linked at the bottom of the editorial)

thank you

I read the paper. That's very cool research! I've never thought of representing UI as a graph before. Their code generation clearly leaves much to be desired (see the figure at page bottom).
I don't think you're looking at the losses the right way. It's not right to say 500 dollars of losses over six months is a drain on the average person, there may be unpriced benefit to them you don't see. For example, I buy 20 dollars of lotto tickets whenever the prize is over 50 million. This has certainly translated into 10k+ of losses for myself over the last 20 years but I am pretty happy with the transaction because fantasizing about what I would do if I won is worth way more than 20 dollars in just enjoyment each week I play.

That being said, I don't know if your conclusion is wrong, and I especially don't like that these sites can ban winners. If they are showing a line they should be forced to honor it for everyone and go out of business if they suck bad enough that a gambler with skill can wipe them out.
I see too many otherwise smart people suggesting that no one but Google could make a safe or otherwise good app store for Android. That makes me sad.

The outcome of this trial should be that ALL Google Play Android APIs are public and documented and that Google be disallowed for a period of say 10 years from developing any new Play Store features on APIs that are not part of that public set. Want to add something to the Play Store, the API is public at or before launch.

Even playing field for app stores. Plain and simple.

Then it's up to Google to make picking and changing and removing app stores and all of that a super awesome experience that keeps users safe and in control, just like any good OS vendor would. It's also up to Google to have a competitive app store in Google Play. There's plenty of room for competition there and I'll wager that 30% cut will be one of the first things to take a hit.
Yes, the real internet where domain names don't cost $20, and where my stuff doesn't need to live on some dude's server.

>I don't think this particular issue has actually been debated on the internet all that much because I haven't seen it come up that much; the obvious solution is to draw a parallel to alcohol. It is illegal to be drunk and driving.

It's already illegal to drive impaired, doesn't matter your intoxicant. It could even be legally prescribed by a doctor.

But it's much more legal to sell alcohol than it is any other drug. Put the onus on the drug sellers to provide a safe controlled place to consume... which I hope comes with some legality and maybe some access to the banking system.

> Working slowly after hours with no promise of getting much if anything concrete done is a deep joy for some of us. I sometimes need to play with my work to know what I'm doing tomorrow. It's often outside the scope of what I'm being asked to do, yet vital to a successful project instead of a mediocre one full of garbage decisions smoothed over by management lies and stress on the whole team to maintain.

Part of me thinks that it's an open secret that this is the only way anything of real quality gets done. I've been burned by investing too much into pet projects, though.
In Portland and generally agree. And the people saying alcohol isn’t comparable should look at the stats - death from alcohol is a huge, but normalized and largely invisible issue.

Legalizing will reduce violence, reduce accidental overdoses and poisonings, and give the state regular contact points with users (to hopefully funnel them to assistance). Safe use sites would go some way towards hiding the problem if managed well.

Legalizing will not solve the problem of addiction. It will not solve overdoses (many overdoses are not caused by surprise differences in dose; people often overdose after relapse, or deliberately seek out stronger than usual supplies).

We have to accept that legalizing will solve some problems, but will likely keep killing at least some people.

Housing is another solution to hiding the problem. But housing just hides the drug use problem. It will probably also kill people - people who overdose on the sidewalk are more likely to be narcaned than people using alone.

Free housing + free drugs for opiate addicts would go a long ways towards solving the issue for everyone who isn’t an opiate addict, and probably cheaper than imprisoning or healing addicts.

I’d prefer treatment but the local officials have already proven incapable of that. The county is already very good at handing out needles, smoking kits, and boofing literature, so handing out fetty should be a very light lift administratively.

If one or both of your pilots are determined to crash your plane, there's not all that much you can do about it. The plane is almost certainly going to crash. So I don't think we should optimize security for that case, which is also very rare. Most likely a hijacker will be a passenger, or, at worst, cabin crew.
Worth noting that the incidence of toxoplasmosis gondii in cats is heavily correlated with allowing them outside, which is where they usually contract it.

Surprise! If you let your animal outside and let it interact with, and even potentially consume, other wild animals, it may spread things!

This article draws conclusions only to support a clickbait title. There's no mention of the prevalence amongst cat cohorts. This is borderline fear mongering.

But don't simply listen to me, ask your vet.

Which is really just a particularly expensive and unpleasant home when you put it in this context.
This just seems like a review of previous studies, picking and choosing evidence/previous conclusions from tangentially related investigations. I can’t access the published paper but the article implies this area has been studied before, so I’m confused what this new paper is supposed to contribute. Is it just a literature overview?

I’m interested in getting a cat in the future so I’m interested in a proper study of this.

> And remember - we did have a long experiment with legally prescribed opioids, and their widespread availability contributed to the current addiction crisis.

Well yeah, when you have criminally-encouraged over prescription of highly addictive, fairly dangerous drugs, you’re going to create an addiction crisis, but the actual deaths happening now are due to the unavailability of those same prescription drugs. Before the prescription crackdown and fentanyl prevalence, some people who got addicted turned to heroin, and some of those people ODed, but now nearly every addicted individual only has access to fentanyl-laced street opiates.

Methadone clinics are a decent example of how regulation helps this issue.
Yes, I'm aware there's been a ton of recent chatter. Most of these are dupes though so it's really just Mixtral, their funding, and now their commercial offering.

My argument is opening up the commercial offering is perhaps the biggest story yet simply because of all excitement this company has been able to generate.
Most likely outcome is probably a consent decree like Microsoft's. Google agrees to publicly document all APIs for Android app store capabilities, and to refrain from certain kinds of business deals, and some mechanism of enforcement, perhaps embedded monitors at Goog or an onerous reporting regime.

Then, with a level playing field we see if Google's Play Store can compete with other app stores, and whether Google can give Android a great app store management experience to end users.
The list of companies that put in serious effort to make a competing store and would have been materially harmed by deals like this is very small. And many were the recipients of these deals.

If this ruling is about helping them, then that makes the outlook even worse for consumers.

I recently visited Downtown Seattle, and most people I encountered shared your opinion, but based on their stories, it’s not that bad by current standards.

Honestly, it’s much better than I’m used to. In a day of walking around, only one drugged out person was screaming uncontrollably. When he saw me, he politely asked for a light, and I said no, so he went back to screaming at nothing in particular.

It’s not like I was tripping on human feces (SF, post-pandemic, though they seemed to have cleaned things up a bit for APEC) or needles (various cities in Europe, pre-pandemic).

I don’t mean to trivialize the problems in Seattle. It is much worse than it was. However, it’s better than average these days.

At least in California, housing shortages are a big root cause, as is the broken approach to mental health care: It’s basically illegal to treat someone during a psychotic episode until they’ve already committed some serious violent crimes.
