> According to the lawmakers, CVS, Kroger, and Rite Aid said that "their pharmacy staff face extreme pressure to immediately respond to law enforcement demands and, as such, the companies instruct their staff to process those requests in store."

THIS. Expecting indifferently-paid and often-overworked pharmacist assistants, clerks, etc. to stand up to law enforcement - who can easily be armed, uniformed, belligerent, and right in their faces - is cruel and delusional.

I agree that the US defense industry likes the status quo, and lobbies congress to keep the money flowing.

I agree that the US gains considerable influence over Europe via the current arrangement.

I don’t think it is a great idea for European countries to be US client states.

I followed comp.lang.fortran for many years before joining Fortran Discourse. Some people say Google abandoning Usenet could be good for Usenet, since Google Groups was the source of so much spam. The article ends with the following advice for people who still want to follow Usenet. Does anyone have other suggestions?

'If, going forward, you want to keep an eye on Usenet--things could change, miracles can happen--you'll need to get an account from a Usenet provider. I favor Eternal September, which offers free access to the discussion Usenet groups; NewsHosting, $9.99 a month with access to all the Usenet groups; EasyNews, $9.98 a month with fast downloads, and a good search engine; and Eweka, 9.50 Euros a month and EU only servers.

You'll also need a Usenet client. One popular free one is Mozilla's Thunderbird E-Mail client, which doubles as a Usenet client. EasyNews also offers a client as part of its service. If you're all about downloading files, check out SABnzbd.'

Most people live lifestyles that lead to conditions. For example, most high cholesterol that cause people to use statins is caused by diet. Less than 10% of Americans eat a healthy diet. Doctors almost never deal with that and usually aren’t even taught that in school.

Because it's the largest existential threat human civilization has ever faced.

But perhaps two things can be bad at the same time, and we should stop flooding earth with microplastics without taking away any attention from climate change. There's plenty of attention to go around. It's not like humanity is wholly committed to fighting climate change. Quite the contrary.
Iterations and assigning roles to the GPT help. Give a small block of code, ask GPT to review this with a panel of developers (frontend, backend, ...), users and UI/UX experts for 5 iterations, and then provide the final code. GPT 4 works better. However, a lot of times the code is outdated and creates new issues. Manual review and fixes are needed for most custom code blocks. It works well for standard code modules.

For a few months I had the feeling that a good switch-expression requires the bottom type... It turns out that the `assert(0)` idiom, used in a lambda, is sufficient:

var u32 a = switch b do {
1 => 2,
/* ... */
else => function(): u32 => {assert(0, "crash");}()
};

The `else` case (similar to C `default`) simply crashes the program but the type system is happy because the lambda return type is compatible.

This is how it should be and I think we should go back to this approaches. Too many buzzwords, too much agile ideology. Not that we should ignore Agile but the solution to a problem must bring in the expected value for the customer. On the other hand I feel the pressure with my clients that they go into a strategic direction with decisions for specific platforms and technologies. So sometimes you are forced to use platforms and tools which are not an ideal solution for a specific problem

>> They really aren't even cheap anymore

The kia rio is the 2nd cheapest car in Canada by far. The first cheapest is 3 cylinder for like a hundred less, while rio is a full car with an impressive range of amenities. Basically nobody else wants to sell me a basic cheap hatchback - Ford doesn't do fiesta anymore, Mazda killed the 2, Honda dropped the fit, Nissan doesn't do the micra anymore etc. In Canada at least, it's all suvs and pickups :-(

Quality, up for discussion, but it's definitely the only manufacturer in Canada who sells a basic nice cheap car.
Not disagreeing with you, but noting there are still a lot of companies that raised so much cheap money they can basically run for 200 years, barring investor pressure. Typically they raised at such high valuations they may never achieve a positive investor outcome, but they also will never run out of money.
So many interesting non-technical threads get flagged these days. This post appears to have been flagged by administration as I cannot vouch for it. Or, is that because I already commented?

Sometimes I completely understand, sometimes I somewhat understand, but in this particular case? There is a good exchange of ideas going on.

Yes, I know the first rule of HN club, but this is a deserving topic.
One way to make unknown waste mixtures safe:

* Burn it hot.

* Take the exhaust from the burnt waste and fractionally distill it to extract the Nitrogen, CO2, water and other safe gasses.

* Take the ash and extract things that are worth money (metals), then vitrify the rest (turn it into glass)

* Take everything else and stick it back into the input, letting it go round again and becoming something safe this time.

1 ton of household waste probably only makes 5kg of vitrified glass - turns out nearly everything in your house is carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

I suspect the energy in all the waste makes this process "free" from an energy standpoint. But obviously the capital cost of a plant big enough for the worlds waste is huge, and unless laws are written to ban landfills and regular incineration, it would never make financial sense.
> Probably a doctors visit could make a big difference in this type of lifestyle for some portion of the population.

Most doctors are never taught to deal with lifestyle. It’s sick care with things like medications and surgery. Doctors office visit won’t address this for most.
> They are wise to allow this because self-driving cars increase safety.

In Health and Safety we prefer to rephrase this as decreases danger. Same as "more secure" in Computer Security should be phrased "less insecure".

In Bainbridge's, "Ironies of Automation" (1982) [0], one of the paradoxes highlighted is the amplified impact of failures in automated systems, despite their infrequency. This is in stark contrast to the more frequent, yet less consequential mishaps of the past.

An illustrative example from the article is the scenario of autonomous vehicles obstructing access to a burning building.

This implies a shift in the nature of accidents - from numerous individual incidents causing fatalities, to fewer but more catastrophic events. For instance, instead of 100 separate fatal crashes, there might be a single incident resulting in 20 deaths.

Being a NATO member is not being a client state... And the thing I support is a stronger EU defence industry, not the US leaving NATO or whatever you read into my comment.

And yes, the idea of the US leaving NATO is so bad it is only loughable, the only ones happy about that would be Russia and China. US influence is not limited to Europe so, NATO activities stretch to Afghanistan (past tense), Iraq (same), Ukraine, Africa, the Balcans...

As bad as NATO intervention was during the war on terror period, and boy was it bad, tue alternative would be either Chinese or Russian dominance in those regions. And that would be even worse. NATO, human rights and all that is a different topic so.
I don't think inefficiencies are going to be the answer either. I'd bet that those other countries have just as inefficient medical bureaucracies.
I think there is more than enough attention on climate change (it’s constant hammering at this point) and that it is predatory to awareness about other environmental risks.
>Growth projections become more conservative (and IMO more sustainable).

What good are any of their growth "projections" if they oscillate between extremes at the whims of the economy?

If two years ago they predicted huge growth, and now those projections have to heavily adjusted down, are these even forecasts? Or are they merely saying "if tomorrow is like yesterday, we'll be fine"?

The time for projecting slower growth was years ago, when everything was going crazy.

I fully agree with this. I lived about six years and half, altogether, in a rural area and I loved every moment of it. Connection to nature is not a one-day trip during the week-end and it's certainly not a walk in a city park.

This.

I agree. The HN community largely likes to criticize media but fundamentally they don’t understand it.

“The media is a business to generate income by grabbing attention”

This has always been true. Media has been sensationalist since it first started as word of mouth being spread by sailors and politicized as directed by government and business interests.

Once adopted by business interests, it has been forced to reach as many eyeballs as possible in order to be profitable.

Imagine how much windier would it be, if they didn't extract that energy with wind farms.
Only the companies in an investor’s portfolio that they truly believe in get a bridge - otherwise it’s a bridge to nowhere.

IMO bridge rounds aren’t driven by the investor’s fear of a markdown - they’re driven by the belief that the founder+team can figure it out and get to the next stage. When risking even more cash on a company that isn’t an obvious winner, you really have to believe in the team.

I don't understand what the author is trying to say with this post.

"Don't be a solution looking for a problem"?

Okay, but there's little insight beyond that pithy statement, no guidance of how to avoid that trap, just an anecdote that someone did that once?

Or is the point the middle about Kubernetes? The author brings up questions and says:

> What problem was Kubernetes trying to solve? How did the solution address the problem? What problem was Agile trying to solve? How did the solution address the problem? It’s only by examining these questions can an organization make the solution their own.

But then doesn't go onto to actually examine or explore these questions in the blogpost, just moves on and ignores those questions after bringing them up.

Overall, this post feels half-baked. The author seems to want the audience to do the work in fleshing out his thoughts.

What does it mean to "own the problem" and what advantage does that have over "[owning a] solution".
> Perhaps if childcare was not such a crushing financial burden people would have more kids!?

If expense was the main thing limiting fertility, you’d expect that fertility would be positively related to income, but the reverse is true.
Really glad to see this rebuttal. I understand the sentiment behind the post from the other day, and most days when I look at the repos I work on, I feel the same way, but it just isn't true in a general sense. We write code because it is _bottom-line_, valuable as fuck. It really boils down to: time is the most expensive asset around.

This debate does bring up a very interesting thing though: At what point do you ditch the old code and re-write the whole damn thing? (I am currently struggling with this)
The problem with the "victim blaming" concept is that it prevents us from giving good advice about how to avoid being a victim. It's clear that women shouldn't stay with male strangers. Men should think carefully about it too.

It's not about blame. If someone drugs and/or rapes someone else, that person is to blame. But it is possible to avoid situations where you're vulnerable.
