As someone with a first hand experience in that, I find it extremely peculiar these arguments are almost elusively made by 30 something year old white kids that grew up in upper middle class US suburbs.
Afaik it was a combination of several things. On the one hand it was a referendum against the Kreisky administration supported by the OEVP to damage him. On the other hand it was the beginning of the green movement with a more important role of civil movements and protests.

> is what billboards do as well

not really. in theory there is some kind of process where we could collectively decide about the existence / frequency / size of billboards, as can be seen in many towns that have advertising banned, or as can be seen when you contrast New York with any European city.

with wanna be gangster teenagers and adults with Peter Pan syndrome ? not really.

p.s. I hate billboards as well, if you ask me both should not exist

The more you do blood doping, your risk of a blood clot or other major complications increase. If everyone in sports blood doped, a noticable number of athletes would die or have career ending complications because of it.

> we should just allow for a type of competition where everything's allowed.

Blood doping is not illegal. You and anyone who agrees with you are 100% free to host your own Cyberpunk Olympics with whatever eligibility rules you allow. You might not be allowed to use the word Olympics because of trademark.

But if this were allowed at the Olympics, the only winners would be those who put themselves at more risk. It would effectively be mandatory if you want to even get close to the top.
You forgot to mention the price increases. As our daily paper has become thinner, they've charged more and more for it. For example, from Jan 2023 to Jan 2024, it increased on price by 60%.

Peter Attia did an analysis of this study and pointed out the use of casein limits the conclusions we can draw.

https://peterattiamd.com/protein-anabolic-responses/

Effectively the upper limit of protein absorption was increased by stretching out the absorption window with a very slow absorption protein (casein). Whether this applies to other proteins is less clear.
The point is that you have to lock in a source of power while in use. There is no battery in the device and you’re meant to move around while using it! The other end is a special plug that locks yet can spin around so you can move the battery pack or with the regular power cable more freely.

Plain old USB-C cables are simply not suited for this kind of device. That’s why USB-C is only used to charge the battery. Hopefully you’re not too blinded by political agendas to see the engineering that went into this.
It makes LA look more like the sci-fi I grew up reading! Funny how the world works and how accurate old sci-fi was.
The cable needs to withstand a lot of flexing and rough handling. Much easier to make it durable when it doesn't need to transmit 10 gigabits of data.
I'd say that applies across the board. For most, that kid is more important than anything else.

I think GP means that picking fruit has a direct, meaningful impact on consumers--fresh food--whereas the positive impact of the next saas thing is indirect and often dubious.

Gandhi and Mandela are interesting cases, that I think serve my point. Both highlighted the injustice of current laws with _relative_ civil disobedience. Think how differently their message would have been taken were they to conduct unrelated civil disobedience, such as throwing soup on a work of art.

I actually find it a little offensive to compare these people to Gandhi and Mandela.
You may have done some, but you can negotiate with the insurance company and either seek legal help or file a protest with the department of insurance if they are not in good faith servicing your claim.

For me it's not so much about the property owner who owns the place where the billboard or graffiti is put up, but the people who are forced to look at it when they walk around town. From that perspective I think graffiti and billboards are about equally lacking in free choice on the part of who has to look at them, and billboards aim to manipulate you, grab as much attention as possible, and make you spend money, while graffiti is mostly just sitting there. So as long as cities are full of billboards I will never complain about graffiti.

> “There’s a long standing view that these kinds of assaults — this kind of abuse — isn’t as real and not as serious,” she said.

That's the "view" - it's just a matter of perspective. Sure you or I might prefer to be "raped" 10x in the Metaverse over just once in real life, but that's just because of our prejudices. "Experts" assure is it's just as real - after all, the article opens with an "attack" that made a researcher's heart race. Like watching a horror movie or being a real murder victim of a killer clown, if it both makes your heart race, then it's the same.
Don’t beat yourself up over it. But also, post the learnings not just the mistake without the context only for both of them to come out later after people point them out.
Modern C++ is great and I would choose it today if I were starting a project from scratch. I think people’s problem with C++ is the existing projects/code. If I were to join a random company today working with a C++ code base, it is very likely I’d be dealing with legacy code complete with all the 1990s footguns C++ dismissers dismiss. That code base would also likely have problems like requiring Visual C++ 6.0 to compile, emitting thousands of warnings that have been ignored for decades, and the company shipping the DEBUG executable because nobody can figure out how to get the RELEASE build to not crash. Often existing C++ projects come with 1990s era problems, so detractors can still legitimately use 30 year old arguments.
I mean, sure, legally. But how many large-scale structures like this, that were paused for 5 years, end up completed?

I only know of 22 Bishopsgate [1] — and that’s with the big caveat that they gutted the structural core of the building and replaced it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love for someone to have been maintaining it, and for construction to complete rather than going entirely to waste. But given the levels of fraud that have been alleged around the project, I’m not holding my breath.

Rich hickey has a nice talk about this exact problem. He uses this scenario on why “classical” dependency management is flawed - you might only want one function of a library that has no dependencies itself, but you have to import the whole thing.

It never quite worked for me either though.

Things that do work:
I am in the habit of using a push notification when I am at a shop to receive my shopping list.
Same for stopping for fuel for more than a few minutes - notifications to check tires, oil, etc.

When you can make the task or chore context sensitive, and based on either a measurement so something really being low = call to action, that helps.

Basically, "pull notifications", not push.

The 3 numbers are per person, per accident, property damage. Above 100k per person is 7 tiers up from their recommendation. Though, to be fair, the incremental cost is pretty low...~$9/month to jump up to that 7th tier in this example.

Also, I wonder if the issue is wholly "cheap" insurance or is it also expensive health care?

Ok, can you explain what is a contract scientist as opposed to a scientist? Susan Crockford on her blog defines herself as "a zoologist with 40 years of experience" and "former adjunct professor at the University of Victoria"- that sounds like a scientist to me, without any need for further qualifiers.

She also has a consulting company that specialises in identifying bone fragments of North American fish, birds and mammals- the clients are mostly universities, museums and park/ forest services. I don't see references on the company's page about searching in "the scat of wild animals for ... items", which seems at one time very specific and vague. Curious choice. (*)

More, just on the lede: "she is a blogger"- no, she also runs a blog, as many scientists do. "her blog posts on polar bear biology which are unsupported ..."- imprecise, we don't yet know what those posts are about- and yet we already know that they're "unsupported by the consensus". Ah, by the way- this is just wrong: consensus is not a support for anything- you might go with or against the consensus, certainly not look for its support.

The "Early life and education" section fails to mention the title of her doctorate thesis, but instead dedicates half of its seven lines to a completely out-of-context, minute controversy about what one "Lars Olof Bjorn" thinks of one line of one article by her in 2009.

Career section "Business" ends (after two lines) with the following sentence (again, at the same time very precise and vague): "Since the start of her career, she has worked primarily through paid contracts for specific work on a variety of topics". What is it even supposed to mean? You know, that would also apply to me. "Paid contracts" indeed, for "specific work" on "a variety of topics".

In the "Books" section, only one book is cited (Google gives me 5 or 6) and again, half of the space is dedicated to the criticism from a single person.

The "Polar bears" section is basically entirely dedicated to a controversy- and still we don't know anything about what Susan Crockford claims about polar bears, why she does it, what are her points, how does she go against the "consensus". Nothing.

I'll stop here. A cursory read is enough to understand that there has been no attempt whatsoever to approach this subject with a minimum of detachment- the entry almost reads like a parody, or a satirical piece. If you don't see it, I'm sorry, think it's a problem.

* If I can pinpoint what feels wrong with these statements, is the constant oscillation between extremely vague ("a small business", "other items", "known for posts about polar bear biology") and curiously precise ("contract scientist", "in the scat of wildlife", "gained her interest in elementary school") etc.
Which book? There seem to be quite a few, and I wouldn’t mind picking one up, if you have one to recommend.
Hackernews is similar to ChatGPT in that regard. Lots of correct sounding answers that are really just a word salad.
Some of my friends from Poland went to Western/Northern Europe to pick tomatoes, salad, cherries etc. None of them ever spoke about meaning of the job, only that it was long, hard, uncomfortable hours in sun, rain etc. and that it paid good money.
It is incredibly easy to start a business in the USA.

In most areas, you can form an LLC for $200 or less. If your product is a service or delivery based (not a physical storefront with local customer traffic), you may be able to legally operate from a home office without a business license.

Getting started is easy, succeeding is a little more difficult. The single biggest hurdle most technical people face is probably marketing and/or customer relations --- finding paying customers and dealing with them in order to actually get paid.

Techies often have a glaring lack of real world experience in this area --- which may or may not be a significant problem depending on the nature of your business.

Commodore had great engineers but terrible management. Jack Tramiel didn't even use computers until he got an iPad later in his life. Jack would have been just as successful if he had been selling bicycles.

After Jack left, Irving Gould was in charge and along with his henchman, Medhi Ali. They purposefully destroyed Commodore. Irving was getting old and it seemed he cared more about having more, expensive paintings in his home when he died than keeping Commodore going by giving their R&D any money.

Thomas Rattigan was the best COO (and potential future CEO) Commodore ever had, but Gould fired him before he could do too much good. Without him, the Amiga 500 and 2000 would not have happened and the Amiga 500 is what kept Commodore going as long as it did. Over half of Amigas sold were the 500 model.

Jack's biggest mistake was getting into a position where he needed someone like Irving Gould to invest money to keep his company from going under. In retrospect, it would have been better for Jack to go bankrupt and start over than let Gould have control.

If Commodore had survived until today, their hardware would be the same as PCs and Macs, but they would have their own OS and the custom Amiga chipset might be a contender in the GPU space today.
He is in Australia as per his website.

The ironically terrifying evidence about what a horrible idea this is is that it was just in the news that the FDA said that recalled CPAP machines made by Philips killed 561 people: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-sleep-apnea-philips-recall-...
We lost my wife’s CPAP while traveling. Through insurance it would have been a month of paperwork, an exception made, and $600. Without insurance it was no wait and $650.

Guess which way we went…

I’m sorry the author had to deal with any of this. A lot of pandemic scarcity and multiple recalls made it hard to get supplies for a long time. My wife’s first CPAP is out of commission because the parts will simply never be made again. In between the pandemic start and the “well we all gave up” point three new models, recalls, and various mergers happened but not one replacement set of filters were delivered.

If it was any sort of other filter I’d just buy a replacement from Amazon and call it a day, but that doesn’t seem appropriate for this situation. Some people did and apparently (per doctors not my own research or anything I can verify) old OEM and new but improperly made third party filters can start flaking off while the machine runs due to how CPAPs work.

Now though? Apparently it’s easy to get a new model and all the components from a supplier… at least if you skip insurance.

You really need a professional to configure the CPAP, otherwise it can mess up your lungs (too much airflow) or make your sleep apnea worse (not enough airflow).

That's why these are considered a prescription--the prescription is the settings on the machine.

>> this indicates that 80% is better than 100%

> Better for what? 50% is better for long-term disconnected storage -- actually, voltage is better than % and for storage you're aiming for 3.7v/cell (which is roughly 40-50%) which is where the discharge properties slow almost to a halt. 80% is the kind of standard "I'm not discharging this charge immediately"-recommended state (see: EV charging recommendations).

I meant better for the battery health in general, if kept permanently plugged in at that level. I agree 50% is likely much better than 80%, which is still better than 100%. It's just that very few OSes/software/BIOSes allow you to set it at 50 or 60%, while a few (like Apple) do fallback to 80% which is at least better than 100%.

Interestingly, I think my Framework BIOS allows me to set it at any value between 1 & 100%. I have set mine to a relatively "lower" 75%.
Just Finished Greg Egan's Orthogonal Trilogy (it was very interesting if you like hard science fiction but want to spice it up with a universe that operates under different fundamental laws)

Am about half way through "The constitution of Liberty" by Friedrich A. Hayek (it's got a lot of correct in it but is way too preachy/needed a better editor to cut down on some of the repetition. It's nowhere near as bad as something like Ayn Rand's Atlas shrugged in this regard though).

Started Vernor Vinge's "rainbow's end", so far it's decent but I am also very early in so that isn't really a qualified opinion until I get through another 50 or 60 pages at least.
I mean, I believe you, because obviously people don’t care enough about petty crime that LAPD doesn’t do crap about it (and yes, I admit that’s a cheap target, I really mean the LA City Council and more broadly, the LA County Board of Supervisors).

I'd think that the original Amiga arrow pointer could have got its stubby style because hardware sprite could only be in low resolution and 2:1-stepped lines did not look very good.

The style was changed to a sharper point in Amiga OS 2.0 but it was still slanted 45°. First on the Amiga 1200/4000 with AGA could you get a high-resolution mouse pointer.
