> Which is neglegible.

2% is not negligible at all. Only 5 countries emit more than 2% of the total, for the rest are all of their emissions negligible?

2% is double the impact of making all international flights carbon zero. It's like making all international shipping carbon neutral.

So it's honestly a large result, but not only that it also saves huge numbers of lives, and improves the health of many more. If you want to argue it's a bad thing to do or focus on, you cannot simply ignore "also it saves millions of lives a year".

Nope. These type of regulations looks good, but it's not fun or easy to do business in an overly regulated marked. If this continues, the US will improving financially faster than the EU. People are not likely to move to a worse economy because they value regulations like this.

I'm not sure I'd call the story inspiring, but it's certainly _interesting_. Public school or no public school, it is very unusual for someone to change a country's culture so dramatically, seemingly largely by accident (or at least you don't get the impression from the article that he _set out_ to change the mainstream culture).
In the current economy who cares if the company is destroyed? Shareholders with insider knowledge will already have reduced their exposure. See what PE firms are doing, only thing that matters is ROI. I don’t see how it will change until we go back to pre-Reagan times, I.e. companies purpose are not just to make money for shareholders.

I don't get this gene treatment at all. We are told:

> The gene therapy consists of a harmless virus carrying new otoferlin genes in two drops of liquid that are delicately injected down the length of the cochlea, delivering the genes to each hair cell.

You just squirt some medicine near the cells, and then the cells are sorted? This is no explanation at all.

You could say, 'the cells absorb the protein and as the completes the bio-circuit, it is now activated correctly and the patient can hear'. Obviously I just made that up! But how does the thing work?

Eg, if this was cancer and you operated to take the cancer out, fine - I get the principle. It if it's chemo, you insert some chemicals typically and it kills the cancerous growth, I get that too.

But what is the gene therapy doing, at an engineering level? It's a mystery to me.

Frankly, while I can understand a gene therapy working when treating a fetus, I don't get how it can work once the cells are developed and in place. I'm sure I'm dumb, but there it is.

The whole article reads like a gene therapy promo, with no details that help understanding what the treatment is. You might as well say 'magic'.

My Journey Submitting to Cran
Yes, at higher speeds (like towards the end of that recording once the link is fully established) dial-up modems sound like white noise.

There's an interesting reason for that. A digital modulation that is going fast enough, if it is well-designed to make use of a channel, will approximate white noise. A primary frequency or harmonic can be thought of like a "hot spot" and the more relatively powerful it is, the more it will distort the other frequencies. So, an ideal encoding will have constant average power across the entire bandwidth. Essentially, white noise.

Modems got there by the late 1980s with the jump to 9600 bps, when a single bit started being spread out over many symbols using convolutional modulation.
NPR reported today that Alaska is "considering options" that don't include the MAX 10s they have ordered, which presumably means looking at Airbus?

I somewhat doubt it's going to happen quickly, and it is likely a combination of sincere anger and saber rattling.

I've been witness to some major product meltdowns, and executives threatening to migrate from a vendor is one of the big guns to pull out post mortem.

Edit: Another topic, NPR said "there is only one commercial plane competitor to Boeing, Airbus". What about Embraer?

Sure they have, it’s the only medium capable of offering anything close to the presence of real life social interactions.

The worst social experiences in VR are worlds ahead of anything you can experience in any other medium short of meeting someone in the physical world, which would be my preference but for many people, is not always possible.

“meet your friends in reality instead problem solved, it’s better anyway”.

My friends live all over the world now, but thanks to VR, we’ve still been able to catch up and hang out in the same space and converse, watch movies, play games and even dance and exercise together plus many more activities in a manner that is simply incapable of ever being delivered through a monitor and keyboard.

I’m a gamer (though I hate to use that word) but it’s not where I see the value to this long term and it’s never really been where I see it, though it’s a value add to me of course.
Pressure loss can be mitigated by dropping oxygen masks and descending to a lower altitude. The plane falling apart is more tricky. The door leading to pressure loss is a red herring. What about a wing falling off?

The 5-10% layoffs in tech started well before Musk showed up at Twitter. eBay is simply copying what every tech company has done since mid-2022.
We cant. Its a very complex history.

One reason for this huge differential is because hospitals get paid a % of the losses in fed subsidies based on the nominal charge number stated on the invoices,[1] not the actual COGS.

For some history; with reimbursement formulas in our prior cost-plus system, a hospital's reimbursement was partly determined by its charges (the invoice). Hospitals discovered that by manipulating the charges, they could increase their total reimbursement.[2]

This was the bastard origin of the charge gaming culture at hospitals. It is hard to uproot now. This cukture found a new home with the federal loss subsidy.

This subsidy was an ask by hospitals to the government when the govt was trying to get uninsured to be seen at hospitals. So now they scratch each others backs.

Insurance play along with it. In theory you would think it's harmless (since the amount paid is the allowed, full stop) but it muddies the waters further. Why would insurance muddy the waters on itself on purpose? It makes them look amazing in front of employer clients. Think discount of 75% on a $200 charge vs a 50% discount on $100. 75% sounds a lot bettet to the employer. But the employer is paying the exact same. Its a marketing gimmick for insurers.

Hospital makes more federal dollars on that loss. Govt pays more in healthcare subsidies. Hardworking people without Insurance... get royally screwed.

1. Why would dutch gangs attack people who produce evidence? Presumably it's to dissuade other people from producing evidence, but if the people are compelled to do so I'm not really sure what purpose it serves.

2. Is "I might get hurt" a valid reason to refuse to testify and/or ignore a subpoena? At least in the US you can be compelled to testify against others, as long as it doesn't implicate yourself or you're given immunity.

Then cut open the solid beans and extract what you need. Once you're done, re-assemble, re-vacuum and then heat while applying vacuum to remove the resin.
Raising rates still helps to maintain price stability even if it is a supply shock, it just does it via demand destruction.

The aim is to stop inflation i.e. achieve price stability. Keeping unemployment low is a nice bonus if it can be done.

Also although the start of the inflation seemed to have been a supply shock due to the pandemic, whether that has continued to be the cause vs. the pandemic spending, isn't so clear now. Of course, the war in Russia and now the Middle East isn't helping the supply side either.
If you have a security camera that likely has footage of a crime. Then you should give it up willingly to punish the criminals.

Here in Canada, police have the opposite viewpoint: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12953465/Canada-war...

So your package is stolen, you have video of the criminals. you post it online for the police to catch the criminals. The police punish you for violating the criminal's rights? lol what?
Didn't we know this decades ago? Back when we also stopped allowing pop up headlights (even though I think they're so cool).

I think we should have banned or restricted sales of SUVs and "trucks" as Americans call 'em, a long time ago.

When I was growing up, cars were a very reasonable size, even for a family. Now the streets are full of giant SUVs, mostly driven by a single occupant, and usually with a driving style that the confidence and apathy of being in a larger vehicle gives them.

Too late now, I guess.
There are conservatively 100x as many economic migrants as true refugees, many of whom enter through the same immigration routes and are devout Muslims who hold beliefs that are incompatible with western legal systems.

In 2014 there were 13 Salafist mosques in the country which rose to 27 in 2018. The number of Salafist preachers was more than doubled in the same time span, from 50 to 110 according to the Dutch counter-terrorism authority (NCTV).

In 2019, an investigation by the Nieuwsuur TV programme and the newspaper NRC, investigated fifty mosque schools, obtaining educational material from ten Quran classes given by fundamentalist organisations. The investigation showed that children were taught that infidels go to hell. Punishments against homosexuals and "enemies of God" were glorified. In an ideal Islamic state operating under sharia law, heretics would be punished by the death penalty, adulterers stoned and magicians killed by the sword. Children were warned against having social contacts with non-Muslims. [0]

I worked at a place that kept their legacy servers running through eBay parts.

The only reason they started migrating was because it started getting too expensive and hard to find old parts.
They are not. Edit: the net-total that the entire "problem issues" are about, is some thousands of people. On a population of 17 mln thats "nothing".

It's an entirely fabricated and inflated "issue", that was invented purely by politicians who want to use the fear and outrage (that they themselves caused!) for win. Both by elected parties, who deliberately defunded or scaled down on immigrant issues, knowing this caused problems - that they then could use as "proof" that there are problems, and by non-elected parties.
Some clear signs are that strong anti-immigration parties did very well in villages and cities that have zero to no immigrants: clearly shows that it's more fear than actual felt pain.

How often is this footage "useful" for anything?

At best, if you need to make an insurance claim, the video proves that something was stolen. I guess if you need to get cops involved to write a report for your insurance, they have to collect evidence in a certain way in case it needs to be used in court. Cops probably don't need this specific duty, but it's who we've given it to.

At worst, it gives probable cause for cops to hassle people who might meet the description of someone in the video. Yes, these cameras aren't always the best quality, so a lot of people will probably meet the description.

This happened recently. My one neighbor's car was stolen in front of my house. The cops asked me for the footage. I obliged at the request of my neighbor. My other neighbor got questioned for meeting the description of the perp. The only similarity was skin tone...
It should be a two-way street: As long as I am contributing, I should be able to access other citizens' footage.

> But contributory negligence should never depend on the relative damage level.

The angle I’m thinking about is that the person operating heavy equipment should be expected to exercise greater caution. If a pedestrian sets foot out of a painted crosswalk, it seems harsh to say that means the SUV driver who plowed into them is off the hook for 30% of the damages when the situation would almost certainly have avoided any injury had everyone been on foot/bike/scooter or substantially less lethal if the driver had been in a normal sedan.

Basically when I drive I’m cognizant of the fact that it’s the most dangerous thing most of us do on a regular basis. I’d like that attitude to be the default.
The scale of the issue is so big I am beginning to suspect industrial sabotage.

This. Each regulation by itself sounds like something reasonable / potentially good, but trying to run a business in an environment like this is excessively complicated, and ends up being only something huge businesses are willing to put up with.

An app mentioned in that article, Krita, led me to learn more about it. In the first two paragraphs of the "About" page for Krita we find the theme that open source supporters simply cannot agree with each other.

I wonder if companies like Adobe stay off of the Linux not because it would be difficult to make Photoshop and their other apps work natively but because doing so would, for better or worse, force consensus on a desktop/compositing engine, etc. and remove a lot of obstacles that creative people have to writing worthy free competitors on a more than worthy free operating system.

If they really wanted to get you, all of the above can be proven with a bit of legwork. For instance, the service provider can be subpoenaed for logs (for whether the recording occurred, or whether you issued a delete command) and/or subscription information.

I'm unsure of the legal side here but in the UK the police are required to provide proof of where the evidence came from and it's provenance for it to be admissible in court. This can mean the person in control of the evidence becoming a witness to speak in court to the veracity of the of the evidence, especially if only a copy was taken from the owner so as not to leave the owner without the original thing (ie, a phone used to record something).
