> My argument is that you are picking a specific group and saying the law is only for them.

I'm saying that people can make mistakes and incur the consequences of those mistakes. The only way to prevent this is to remove all choice.

This has nothing to do with whether you have some kind of disability. Have someone read it to you, use a magnifying glass, look it up on the internet with a screen reader, buy it from a store you trust not to carry controversial products, do as you like.

> The law can make it so you have guardrail on your roof if it is publicly accessible. The law can also make you put up suicide guards if it's really a problem, all of my favorite bridge have them now.

Guardrails are for preventing accidents, not purposeful action. You can't convert the entire world into a padded room. Suicide guards are a political maneuver meant to demonstrate something being done when politicians don't want to address underlying causes, not any kind of solution when there are an unending number of other bridges or tall buildings etc.

Their purpose is to prevent enough people from jumping off the same bridge for a newspaper to put a morbid number in a headline, when they should be addressing why those people wanted to jump.

> Rat poison has actually been getting more scrutiny lately, the traditional pellet form was banned this year in favor of bricks in the US, and non-professional exterminators are limited to buying it a pound at a time.

Excellent example of regulation created by the need of legislators to be seen doing something even when nothing needs doing.

Poisons aren't rare. You can also buy a bottle of methanol, or various cleaning solvents, petroleum products, coolants etc. Many over the counter drugs are fatal in high doses.

Someone could drown, in water. Which is also fatal if you drink too much. Or too little.

Danger is everywhere and it's fine.

> The same can't be said in reverse, we don't have a real, pressing problem with an overabundance of safety.

That's exactly what we have. Safety measures with body counts. Mandating inaction in cases of uncertainty is a harm in every case where something is better than nothing.
You claim in your other comments to not experience jealousy. This is the same as not valuing monogamy. That’s completely fine, but it means my comments aren’t for you. They’re for people like me, who don’t have your gift, but are perhaps vulnerable to being convinced by others that they do. There’s no reason to feel insulted or to insult me in turn; my honest feelings as a human being are not bitter snark, thanks.

Talking about people who mutually decide to engage in polyamory is off-topic for this particular thread. Quinzel’s scenario is someone in a monogamous relationship deciding to seek out new partners.
It’s a very not important difference. One is doing it for commercial improvements and make your car better another wants to build maps and spy on you thinking how to destroy your golden billion good life . And their range of thinking goes from purely economic to having a direct war.

There are tons of interviews with regular people in China directly saying they are preparing for the war with West. So yeah no difference
Why would there be insurance penalties if my car can't talk to its servers? Or why would a car go into emergency mode every time I took a holiday up in the mountains?
I'll have you know that Pugs, the first implementation of Perl 6, was written as a result of Audrey Tang reading TAPL and then getting interested in Haskell. Audrey was at that time known as Autrijus but she later underwent a sex change. I guess I'm no longer allowed to joke "this is what Perl 6 does to people".

Kids pick up new language patterns and use them all the time. I have a young friend whom I can always tell has been hanging around with someone new, or has become a fan of someone new, because of all the new lingo and colloquialisms that suddenly spews forth.
I promise these didn't. No vent connected to one that was supposed to have it, easy to see in the cabinet above it. The other two were microwaves that eject the air straight out the front. They're designed to do that.

So, it's a thing.
Programmers just haven't been able to make computers as good at language as humans are at language because they're not good enough at their jobs. There's no inherent reason that programming language statements need to perfectly follow regular grammars and have exactly defined vocabularies (functions) that compile to ASTs, etc. that's just the highest level of language technology we've invented. It has essentially no error recovery mechanisms because it's hard/tedious and error is hard to model using logic.

Being frustrated that this is the case is expressing an underserved need in the market. You're aware of the limitations and have grown to be okay with them because otherwise you'd probably hate programming, but that doesn't mean we should all always be okay with them forever.
I see it as a polite way to redirect the conversation. I usually respond similarly -- although not that exact wording. From what I can tell it's never agitated the cop, and they've never insisted that I answer their question. They just move on with the traffic stop. Sometimes I get a ticket, sometimes I don't.

I have a similar pet peeve in software, what I refer to as ‘Don’t Suck’ Buttons.

A ‘Don’t Suck’ Button is a setting, turned off by default and usually hidden in a corner of the UI or configuration file, which fixes a common issue that new users experience, and/or turns on the behavior that everyone wants from the product in the first place.

The best examples of ‘Don’t Suck’ Buttons involve settings with no obvious disadvantage to turning them on. They’re just turned off by default and the software makes you go through extra effort to tell it “No, I don’t want you to suck.”

Usually these originated from some kind of automation, new protocol or new feature that started out as experimental and was locked behind a setting, then became universally relied upon but somehow never enabled by default.

I used to have a list of examples of these. One that comes to mind from my TV: “Allow HDMI Devices to Control this TV”. If you have an Apple TV or something, it won’t change the volume or be able to turn the TV on or off automatically unless you know enough to go into settings and tell the TV “Don’t Suck”.
My friend bought a used Honda Clarity last year. It is a hybrid but all electric for the first 30-odd miles, which doesn't seem like a lot but he runs a roadside assistance company and that 30 miles is his typical range, it's saving him 1-4 gallons of gas a day depending on the timing of his calls.

He really likes it and would consider a new one when he's done with this one but they quit making them.
Will anyone revisit their strongly held beliefs based on this?
An example is the 2013 failure of a Proton-M at Baikonur, nearly full of propellant shortly after launch, carrying several hundred tons of hypergolics:

>It's not the best deal for us, though, since they're not part of our tax base, nor are they growing families and social networks here for us to benefit from.

It's a fantastic deal for us because they're not immigrating here and therefore driving prices of housing, social services, etc. to the unsustainable levels we're seeing now. Outsourcing over the past decades has been a huge boon for the US. They're generating value for US companies and we're able to take advantage of that. The US needs to grow its own families and social networks organically. Every country should.

>but the one thing it doesn't do is optimize for the interests of America.

Generating wealth for US companies and providing stability to their home countries is a win/win. This is optimal for US interests.

After clicking through a few, its kind of timely to go with today's other post about how random is random.
You can just prefix features with --experimental so people can use their own judgement. Software should warn users when they do something that might harm them. But it shouldn't patronizingly refuse to run.

It's not short sighted. China recognizes that America has a stranglehold on its future and is working hard to free themselves from western IP regime. They will build their own, regardless. In fact, they've been working on it for a while.

All that the isolation did was slow them down. It was smart.

Frankly, I don't like the Chinese government or their industry, but they deserve the same rights to self-determination that the west has enjoyed for decades. They are investing heavily in that capability. I don't blame them at all.
I don’t think it’s possible to have 12 relevant ads in a page. And even it was, I would definitely be pissed off if I saw 5+ relevant ads. Because they could be revelant, meaning they could be informing me of something I would like to buy at some point, but they would be distracting as hell.

I want to know, eg if it’s possible to repair a broken headphone cable by myself, not learning about repair shops or multiple interesting new headphones and cables that exist in the market.

About your last sentence, it is pretty clear to me that most of ads are irrelevant most times. So I think you are more annoyed than your nonchalant tone in these comments make it look like
Youtube has some videos of highway road tests at 70mph (just search "highway range test EV 70 mph") if you're curious. Actual road tests are nice because they give you a good idea of wind resistance + some elevation variance - which is what you'll likely encounter doing road trips which is when range is most important.
If you will it, it is no dream.

US has all the rights to say fuck the EU because despite all the investments people there are still as blind and don’t want to look into reality like before WW2. Let’s send billions of dollars to a country where every day on tv they discussing how to invade EU, sure let’s do it . Lets reduce the number of troops and cut military spendings while same country is doing through rapid militarization , oh yeah that’s very smart , sure . But someone said fuck EU while throwing away billions to make at least more weak your direct enemy. What a bad ally
Most of the developed world has radar cameras that take a picture of your car and license plate if you go over the speed limit (plus a margin of error). Sometimes even if you pass a red light. No cops having to "fear for their lives" at random traffic stops, no inconvenienced/dead drivers. Just a flash to let you know you screwed up and eventually the person the car is registered to (and who is therefore liable) receives a letter with a pretty picture and a fine.

Mean or median?

You should not use mean for things like this, if 3 guys buy a Ford for 33k and 1 guy buys a Ferrari for 300k, average price is 100K

If 1 guy is dead from hypothermia and the other guy is on fire then on average they have a healthy body temperature

Simiplicity is nice, but there are reasons why Perl and PHP were the popular choices for web stacks in the early 2000's--they are faster and easier to develop with than C and likely safer than C too.

mod_perl (https://perl.apache.org/) and mod_php (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/plugins/servlet/mobile?c...) helped to make Apache httpd (https://httpd.apache.org/) the number one web server in the early days of the web.

I own both, currently reading some chapters from Coders at Work. The interviews in Coders still seem relevant today, but Programmers at Work just seem to be all imperative C code with Hungarian notation, not as relevant to a modern programmer.
Regarding insuring young drivers: I bought a bmw using their excellent European delivery program in 2001. I was about 20yo at the time. As part of the delivery process, you are provided a zero deductible insurance policy to cover the car until you drop it back off at the port to be delivered to you at home.

I took a glance at the paperwork - the insurance premium for a month long policy for me was 900 euro. In 2001.
Indirectly.

Yup and you know what? That's exactly the kind of detail I don't need a government IT worker sweating over. They should just pay the premium to cloud providers and move on to more important things
Solar is unique in that it reliably "trips" for extensive periods every day and seasonally. It is also unique in that it does not take fuel that can be stored.

Solar cannot act as the backup to a nuclear power plant. Whereas a nuclear power plant can (and does) act as the backup to solar.

I'm grossing up to make the point that after about 60-70% solar penetration, the circle cannot be squared without massive investment either in batteries or in distribution, a fact which seems to never quite fully make it into cost comparisons between nuclear and solar such as those being made in this thread.
I should fire it up, I haven't tried it in a while.

Yeah, it is textbook. It was textbook a decade and a half ago already.

Bravo to the designers of this site; I use vim but I've never stumbled onto this version of the help files. Excellent translation of a terminal aesthetic to hypertext, pleasant and utilitarian color choices.
What an odd thread to be negative in.
You are answering the wrong question.

The question was NOT whether it spreads information from the articles to people who wouldn't have paid for it. The question was whether it suppresses sales of the articles to people who otherwise might have paid for it.

That's a more complicated question of fact. Some people now read Wikipedia and won't buy the article. Some people encounter the reference on Wikipedia and decide to buy the article. Which happens more?

I don't have data. But publishers do. And https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2022/11/01/guest-post-wi... shows what publishers concluded.

Publishers concluded that Wikipedia references are good for sales. And so jumped on the chance to cooperate with https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/. Which is therefore able to give free access to 90% of subscription only databases to you if you can prove that you're the kind of person who is likely to add citations to Wikipedia.

Legal questions are funny like that. You have to answer the question actually asked. If you merely answer another one that sounds similar to you, your answer is generally wrong.

I hesitate to accept Tyler Cowen as a source for anything. He's similarly a type of public intellectual where everyone else goes "well he's wrong about this but he's very smart" and then you count that up and realize he's never actually right about anything.

(And he runs an economics blog where all the commenters are anti-immigration racists, about the most economically senseless thing you can be.)

An example of other people right there would be a war on Ukraine was US intelligence, which is why we started that deterrence strategy where Biden gave speeches saying what Russia was about to do the week before they did it.

It does not include Mearsheimer getting all the details wrong, making up an excuse about NATO even Putin doesn't believe, and predicting Russia would instantly win or else that resisting would lead to nuclear war.

For other highlights, Mearsheimer thinks Japan didn't want to invade China in 1937 and Chiang Kai-Shek provoked them! Realism is just victim blaming.

Their reasons are financial. They have risk profiles set up for cars and age brackets, and that's fine for the overwhelming majority of use cases. If they and the insurance company get it right, they make money, they get it wrong, they lose money. I'm not sitting around caring particularly much if a car rental company makes money or goes under.

Celebrities, high net worth individuals, etc., make sense to get exceptions from a business perspective. Verstappen or Taylor Swift or whoever isn't going to skip out on paying for it if they crash one of these cars. There's just not a reason not to rent to them even if they are outside of your usual risk profiles, because their net worth makes the rest of the profiles irrelevant.

Why exactly do you need an enormous car to feel comfortable on a commute? This attitude is frankly leading to an enormous ballooning in the size of vehicles on the road, which is having tragic consequences for pedestrians. As somebody in the 98% height, and who is perfectly comfortable in well designed "econo-boxes" (vw seems quite good at this), I find the desire to get enormous SUVs for a highway commute terribly unfortunate.

It's ironic because there's an appearance of desiring the attention of passing readers via posturing.

When the vast majority of such readers will, at best, spend a few seconds reading, and then dismiss it.

If they write genuinely convincing, well elaborated, arguments, then it wouldn't be ironic. Because then there would be a reasonable expectation of some readers actually buying it, instead of, at best, joining in on the game.
