US taxes are already complicated, in large part due to the effort to build incentives and disincentives in the way that you describe. And yet the process to build the existing incentives is inescapably political, and for good reason: if you impose a significant change to taxation, there are winners and losers on day 1. Nobody likes to lose, especially if they feel they are doing nothing wrong.

For your specific idea, the red/blue political map shows you who will probably lose.

Israel is using AI apparently to target their bombings:

https://www.npr.org/2023/12/14/1218643254/israel-is-using-an...

These are the bombings that Biden has referred to as indiscriminate, which is technically a war crime. Does that mean that the market of the AI software is partially responsible for war crime enabled by its software?

Israel is, I believe, the place in the world that has the most desal, and is actually already using it for ag. I'm not familiar with domestic/development policy in Israel, but I have trouble believing it's as restrictive as the CA. So not only has CA not already done it, but neither has Israel, who, at the very least must have different roadblocks.

The point is, it's not only California (which I agree is pretty anti-development and where this plausibly might be disallowed even if it did make economic sense) that is leaving this supposed $100 bill on the ground.
Its not just tesla. I had a similar experience driving a prius. Is it off? Not sure, theres a low hum and the headlights are still on. I had to wait a minute to see it actually shut off before I trusted that I actually shut the stupid thing off and could walk away. Never getting a keyless car for myself. Zero point, nothing gained, other than to add another vector for carjacking from spoofing these radio frequencies.

I don't get this. It's highly difficult to find vast troves of military reserves (ie: bodies who can do military stuff) in war time. That's what bootcamp and sergeants are for.

Hell my sister (print sales) joined a new firm and she had to spend six weeks in an intense classroom style training program the company ran to get new staff prepared for the nuances of their product.

It seems straightforward to setup a Fortran internal bootcamp for experienced developers at these massive legacy institutions, worth the upfront investment...no?
The LCS's mission modules were based on the Danish Stanflex system, which seems to be working pretty well. Since the modular mission packages have gone away, the remaining ones are going to be installed more permanently, making the LCS into more of a purpose built ship. This won't really help the LCS though because it was already purpose built to operate in the littorals, which was a role that never really made sense
Odds for a never smoker aren't well estimated, but I'd say it's in the single digits. Definitely less than 5%. It depends on one's radon exposure, asbestos exposure, exposure to gas stoves/coal burners, smog pollution, and genetic background. Many lung cancers in non-smokers are driven by single gene alterations (i.e. EGFR, ALK)

Your second question is also interesting. For a nonsmoker to get to 25% lung cancer risk, I guess he/she would have to live past 80, which few people do.

Your statement that we all probably get cancer eventually is mostly true - as we age there is an accumulation of mutations which eventually should cause cancer. Some super-elderly people in their 90s and 100s may have more senescent cells than others, and paradoxically lower their risk of new cancer later in life.
This argument is so 2023.

> In 2021, Yaden and Griffiths proposed an experiment, the only definitive study that could disprove the importance of subjective effects: the administration of psychedelics to individuals rendered fully unconscious via deep anesthesia, and who subsequently reported no memory of the psychedelic experience. If full and lasting therapeutic efficacy remains under these conditions, the subjective effects — importantly, not limited to the mystical experience — would be proven irrelevant. The RECAP study, currently underway at the University of Wisconsin, is investigating a variant of this: whether the coadministration of midazolam, an amnesiac sedative, can effectively wipe participant’s memories of the subjective effects. Results are still forthcoming.

I am by no means a desalination expert, but pumping vast amount of a salty water 100+ kilometers (Pacific Coast) or from the Sea of Cortez (closer to 200kms) seems strange as compared to building the desalination plant on the shore and transfer the electricity generated in the desert.
One can also replace some drinking or agricultural water used way closer to the coast in CA from the Colorado Basin with the newly desalinated one.
Way less pumping. Or do I miss something?
You realize that desal is already being used in various places in the world, including for (secondarily) ag, right? So there are already places producing the brine. Why aren't they mining it for value? As far as I'm aware, it is universally being discharged.

So either it's harder to extract value from it than this person supposes or no one else has ever thought to try and get value from it.

The second one isn't impossible but I'm not just going to believe it with no evidence.
Well, no, if you have a preponderance of evidence supporting a position, effectively no single "existence proof" data point would really convince large numbers of scientists to change their status quo belief.

I would love if you could give some examples. One that sort of seems like it could qualify is the discovery that gastric disease is mostly caused by a bacterial infection, rather than stress, but it doesn't really seem to qualify.

To put this a different way, if humans actually behaved in this manner in any significant numbers then humanity should have discovered the sciences and been uplifted a long time ago.

Instead that's not what we see at all. A more likely reason is Bullshit Asymmetry, that is, humans throw out so much made up crap that using arguments alone will burn the observable universe away in a puff of entropy.
I deeply hate dynamic pricing and certainly won't go to restaurants that do this. But I already don't go to restaurants that can't give me an actual menu, and it sounds like the overlap of those two things is 100%, so perhaps it changes nothing for me.

Are you unconsciously keeping nuclear energy out of the equation, or why is nuclear not an option in your mind - where then bird populations will be better off, and where solar also isn't destroying the surface environment where life and forests could otherwise thrive [if we're talking about having energy generated locally, then most of the world doesn't have convenient desserts nearby, which arguably we could also turn green if we wanted]?

Expectation of a bull market. Right now companies arent being penalized for layoffs because there's some uneasiness about the impact of the feds actions. A lot of people expected a recession from pushing interest rates this high, but it hasn't happened. Once it's clear that there will be no recession from the fed's actions (ie: when rates drop), CEOs will be fully responsible for their company's poor performance in the eyes of the market.

I didn't want to bore the reader with various definitions of immersion but you're raising a very good point. Apart from the "immersion for entertainment" that I'm mostly talking about, there's also the "flow" and the "tech as augmentation". I have obviously no problem with people being more productive through technology. What I have issue with is the (unwitting) funneling of the world's talent and resources into tech that makes us immersed in non-existent worlds just for the sake of entertainment.
The bigger the company the less likely anyone will attempt to give you specific information about why you are being terminated during the termination meeting - I think your expectations of how things should work don't match the reality of how they do work. Competent organizations will have given longer term employee more prior feedback about their performance issues, but in this case the employee was likely still in their probationary period. Even then you'd expect them to get SOME feedback about not hitting their numbers, but we only have one side of the story here - she may have gotten feedback and ignored it.
I mean, the title is in response to the specific, observed phenomenon of people in oil/gas/coal producing areas arguing for environmental restrictions on solar/wind/nuclear, but not arguing the same for oil/gas/coal.

In the context of "what is a reliable, clean and affordable energy source?", we need to address that whatever we pick will necessarily hurt somebody's bottom line, and they will dig in and fight tooth and nail to prevent that happening, even if their livelihood is at the expense of the species. So rationally addressing a bad faith argument against many options that answer your question is, I think, worthwhile.
The sort of problem that is often best solved by hanging out around the water cooler, mixing and kvetching with random coworkers, ones you might not see at your regular meetings.

Oh, that's a good point, and I think you're idea is a better behavior model vs. the "stick with prior" idea.

What if the conclusion forces behavior though? For voting, you can abstain from voting if you're unclear, but what if you're in a position where you have to choose two distinctly different options.

In this case, I think you pretty much have to stick with your prior, but I'm curious if you have a more nuanced approach here.
They're not a deflection, the domesticated cat is in fact one of the incalculable harms done to the environment by humans. They're an extreme environmental problem that humans created and are solely responsible for.

B) These arent fluff features we're building, and one of the most important features we need aggregate data on is core to our business (fingerprinting). The over rotation on generative AI in the topic is the problem - thats not a focus for us.

C) This has nothing to do with investors, and Sentry's well capitalized both from prior rounds as well as cashflow. This is simply us needing to be able to develop stronger features that have moved beyond what we can easily capture in hand-to-hand development.

Not the OP, but I think humans in general find it difficult to scale up. Whether in software or manufacturing or politics or environmental issues, we're much more equipped to deal with 1 or 10 of something than 100,000 or 1 trillion of it.

At the end of the day we're still limited by our biology and brains, evolved for very different setting than the world we now live in. We try and we get by but by and large we're not doing great at large scale issues, whether it's jobs or housing or healthcare or saving the planet or just plain getting along with each other.

We're primates adapted for small group living in local communities, abruptly given way more power than our biology was designed for. Is that misanthropic? I dunno. If dolphins had opposable thumbs, they'd probably have gotten themselves into a similar bind.

>Another aspect that I'd be curious about is who these religious people were... What denomination. No Christians I know would agree to doing this .

The study participants were all Christian seminary and theology students, of mainline protestant denominations. The study was run by an ordained minister (and doctor!) who was pursuing his PhD. Permission was granted to use marsh chapel by howard thurman, who (i hope) needs no introduction.

A statistically unlikely high percentage of study participants were subsequently ordained, and described the experiment as a spiritually significant / formative experience. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_Chapel_Experiment#Doblin... and linked citations )

I don't think your objections hold water.
I don't think ambient and immersive are mutually exclusive. Ambient tech just widens the potential space in which someone can become immersed. Before ambient tech, I primarily interacted with my computers. With ambient tech, I interact with my computers and the environment in which those computers exist. Now, I'm one with my apartment. A thought leads to spoken words which lead to direct control of the devices around me.

So, this essentially boils down to "someone else, ANYONE not me, should simplify the bureaucratic process for me (because there's the actual issue), and I've picked OpenSSH maintainers for the job. Oh, and for free, too."

You're not expecting the toolchain to appear out of thin ether, that was my misunderstanding: you fully expect volunteers to provide you with it for free, for your highly specific situation; in return, you offer...nothing? That's not a very enticing trade.

I sense there may be other ways around this, but those would a) cost you (in a broad sense; after all, the infrastructure is supposedly critical) money, and/or b) cost you (perhaps in a stricter sense) time, effort, perhaps influence. I agree that's rather inconvenient, given the alternative.
Yes my org was recent DDoSed too repeatedly. It was honestly inexplicable. We're still not sure why.
Also what I think. And it feels like partitioning would imply much more work and potential future implications rather than figuring out what was the issue with some queries or indexes. Postgres should be able to handle billions of rows.

And if the issue was with the queries per second, it would feel to me like it would still be less disruptive to just have some sort of replication going on for reads.

And partitioning really makes sense to me only if you are going to have it on multiple boxes, because otherwise I don't think there really should be many performance gains compared to just indexing?

I'm not seeing if/how they put it on multiple boxes?
