it is crazy to me that all of this still relies on humans giving verbal clearance over radio.

Shouldn’t there be a universal standard to communicate clearances to the computer systems of the airplanes and other runway vehicles? And shouldn’t there be a small, well-tested core system that makes sure clearance never conflicts?

How on earth does all this still depend on skilled individuals not making a mistake?

We got over this in other domains long ago.
> If the first priority is always memory safety, then rust should not have `unsafe` keyword.

You can't have a system programming language without some unsafe layer because eventually you will have to interface with either the OS or a library written in another language and that's unsafe. Even languages like Java and C# have unsafe escape hatches for situations like these.

I believe FDIC limits what the owners can do.
I see the vacuum issue with societies.

But this talks to the heart of the issue - who has authority over the individual? Is a social structure (laws, convention, the understood history provided by that society, religion etc) superior to an individual and their lived experience? Can we say it is right for society to forcibly extract wealth and resources from those it purports to govern, for the greater good? Or is all that self-serving nonsense, to justify slavery?

And then you might wonder what the purpose of this experience is for oneself. Is it to accommodate oneself to power in the best way one can, accepting it as inevitable, thereby tacitly consenting to the system we find? Or do we even embrace the system, to get all the goodies we can? Or does one grasp at something more intangible such as doing right and being guided by truth and love, trying to recover or even improve one's soul?
Escape the complete corruption and chaos that is Charleston, SC. I was recently arrested for waving hello to a police officer with presentable clothing on. That is how corrupt this place is. You could argue Detroit is worse, but at at least lead levels are detectable. This place you don't realize how corrupt it is until you follow your parents out to the suburbs here on your last paycheck to be recycled into the service industry forever, while you freeze and die on the streets without support.

Are you alluding to Allies vs Axis? Because I don't think US have invaded a country unilaterally in that war.

It would be similar if Mexico/Canada/Cuba together declared war at US and then Russia joined them. Because then sure Russia can have a decent chance of successfully invading US across a sea and then strong military could make a difference. But Mexico and Canada won't and countries who could are inconveniently far. This is why I say lack of attempted invasions may be more thanks to good geopolitical situation and civilian population equipped for defense than strong military.
Thx , and this is the idea
Yeah I'm aware of that but that's pretty distinct from "cannot legally be used for commercial usecase".
Tofu. Lentils. Peanuts and peas. Legumes in general, although all would be a "pile of beans" by definition. All are fairly cheap.

Maize, rice, potatoes, and wheat have more than you might expect given they're more famous as carbs. Wheat can be processed to extract the gluten, which is a protein, which you may also know by the name "seitan".

My grandfather was a civil engineer for Maricopa County in Arizona (USA, dry desert, last contiguous state to join the union 1912 I believe) from 195[4-9] to like 1998 about. When I started working on advanced algebra while we we driving out to go fishing he told me that they used to have the 2 interns from ASU (AZ state univ.) find a different palo verde tree and go calculate the log that they would use for the bend of a curve for the new road, by hand. If they had different answers they'd both have to go back and redo it. I was astonished because I was just always taught to just push the log button on the calculator. Pretty crazy how things had changed even in curriculum.

Was about to post something questioning the "forever" part because my memory only starts to link Nvidia generations with scientist somewhere around Kepler. And that's despite having followed GPU tech a lot more in the years before. But according to Wikipedia it goes back to the days of the Riva TNT: the wiki seems undecided about Fahrenheit-ness of earlier generations, but I'd consider that close enough for "forever".

> choosing to pick the negatives

Yes of course there are positives. Don't worry, we have never let negative consequences hold back progress before.

But the blind optimism is staggering, and let's get philosophical: what's the ultimate good, objectively? (Subjectively obviously _I_ and _you_ think it's that we get to be around for longer.) But objectively, from a humanity standpoint, is it (1) the most people in existence, (2) the most people to ever have existed, (3) the most consciousness, (4) the most happiness? Etc.

If we start letting people live forever, over a long time, because of resources, fewer people will ultimately exist. We'll also have slower progress because old ideas will live longer. It's very hubristic to think we've peaked, and it's inevitable that the first live-forever generation will put the brakes on progress/change.

I'd say those downsides far outweigh the upsides you've proposed.

Nope. It's about creating a system that attempts to analyse risks and invests within margins that are acceptable for specific products.

It impossible for a bank for example to put all their money into Dogecoin because someone got a hunch that Musk will tweet about it. To do that they will need to create some kind of instrument that allows others to bet on Musks tweeting habits.

That's not what banks do. You can do that without being a bank, like PayPal did. Most places will have different and much lightweight regulations than banks for this and you will go to jail if you do anything more than holding and transmitting customer money.

These are beholden to themselves, their owners, and to a deity, while the government (in theory at least) is supposed to be beholden to the governed.

There are many problems solved by a government, it's easy to ignore them because we assume they are a given and only think about the marginal issues that ail us at present.
My experience with classical musical notation (as a pianist) is that it gets much easier to read the more you understand the conventions of the music.

After you have a sense of what conventional classical music sounds like, of the kinds of scales and melodies and patterns that it usually uses, then when you look at a new piece, you aren't starting from scratch; you are pattern matching against a document that contains mostly familiar idioms. And that makes it much, much faster and easier than reading something completely unfamiliar or avant-garde.

This is true with some kinds of jazz too: after you've played enough jazz standards, it gets easier to sight-read a jazz piece from a fake book, and have it come out pretty much right the first time. The chords are mostly what you expect, the melody uses familiar scales, and so on. It's not that things have to be 100% in genre, but if they are 80% in genre, then that reduces cognitive load immensely, and it's easy to cope with the 20% that is more surprising.

It's easy to think of a musical genre as being something that provides comfort and familiarity (if not boredom) to the listeners, but it's interesting to think about musical genres as a sort of shortcut that helps the performers as well.

I don't think there is any truly universal musical language and notation. It depends on the specific kind of music you care about. That being said - the other thing that made sheet music easier for me was taking a year of voice lessons. I came away more attuned to melodies than I used to be and better at understanding them on the page.

Nerve damage does not necessarily mean irreversible consequences, depending on the degree. E.g. any amount of sleep deprivation, both in terms of quantity and quality, causes (minuscule) brain damage, but even people with severe sleep apnea mostly recover with treatment.

Likewise, PDE5 inhibitors and presumably other med classes seem capable of nearly reversing mild-to-moderate nerve damage through local NGF release secondary to improved endothelial function and nerve blood supply.

>That's not what banks do. You can do that without being a bank, like PayPal.

Except PayPal has no FDIC protection.

The part of the bank (or credit union) that required the US government to provide FDIC protection was due to dealing with cash. Imagine creating a country with just electronic money. What purpose would a bank with a FDIC protection serve if the government can just operate electronic money accounts itself? And if you want to take more risk and earn a higher return, you find a broker or investment fund or investor.

Londoner for 24 years. I don't know what to tell you, 'Bro'.

Yes beggars walk down tube trains trying to get money, but they don't tend to set up shop on the platform which is what we're talking about here. I'm also pretty sure most of the people that have asked me for a quid on the tube were not homeless people, just chancers and drug users.

Besides which, once you were past the barrier, sleeping on the tube train itself is likely to be a much more viable and comfortable option than the platform.

as for "unmanned stations"? All London Underground stations are rostered to be staffed during operating hours. Stations located underground have specific staffing requirements and minimum staff numbers, which vary depending on the size of the station. This is a fire regulation requirement arising from the King's Cross fire in 1987.
Also, the US basically solved an earlier version of this with the 1936 Rural Electrification Act. In 1936, many rural communities and farmhouses in the US had no electricity while it was standard in towns and cities for decades. It was decided that having electricity was just something everyone should have access to and we were willing to pay the price to make that happen. Eventually it even made sense economically besides morally because many rural areas eventually became suburbs. We could do the same with fiber. It's not some utopian idea.

That's not how the dogs are used. They are told to signal, it's not a mistake. It's a tool of intimidation and a performative gesture towards probable cause. Officers without dogs will just claim "smells like weed" or "your eyes are bloodshot" or a million other things.

When actually searching for drugs, they prefer to destroy the vehicle outright, kick in any box speakers, tear off door panels and fabric, cut open seats, pull out spare tires, etc. They never ever use a dog to find the location of drugs in the car, only for the excuse that drugs might be in the car.

Don't be insane. You know what we want, and that's an end to sexism and racism. I don't care how we compare to other countries, I care how we rank on the "are we sexist or racist at all" metric.

Honestly, your question is one of the worst I have ever read, because it insinuates that you think it's ok to still be racist and sexist as long as we're less racist and sexist than others. We're not less racist or sexist than anyone else in the world, for one thing, so the premise for your complaint is baseless, and the amount of racism and sexism that is acceptable is zero, no matter where you are in the world.

Don't be insane.

>Imagine creating a country with just electronic money. What purpose would a physical bank serve?

Investing customers money, create money.

Most money in the world is digital already, there are many banks that don't have physical presence and traditional banks are shutting down branches more than the open because branches are just the foot soldiers. There are also countries where cash is almost not used. Banks are not about cash, they are about credit.

I don't know what a "physical bank" means though, AFAIk there's no such thing and the buildings that banks own or operate would serve functions like hosting employees/clients/systems but they might choose not to have some of those.
