It was a strange read for me and the first time I’ve felt out of touch with the new generation of writers. The research quality is inconsistent—impressively thorough in some aspects yet glaringly lacking in others. The critique of 19th-century British imperialism is justified and compelling. However, the narrative abruptly shifts to a surprisingly uncritical support of Qing and Mughal Khan regimes, both of which had pretty shocking and unsound policies. Kind of flattening the politics into “British Empire bad, opponents of Britain good.”

As an enthusiast of etymology, particularly when examining the concept of “revolution,” I found the book’s treatment disappointing. It overlooks the nuanced and historical origins of the term, especially relevant to 17th-century England during the Glorious Revolution’s swift rotations in power between Catholic and Protestant monarchs. Instead, it opts for a simplified, pop culture interpretation that equates revolution with the notion of ‘burn everything down.’

The pro-Luddite sections also felt like a mischaracterization of those nuanced movements without a clear working of the economic factors at play there which don’t lend them to be natural allies of the protagonists. Additionally, there’s a poor grasp of the military tactics associated with barricade warfare, comparable to what one might infer from a single viewing of Les Misérables. That whole section was a bit cringe.

Which is to say the huge sections of the book had my face in my palms but I’m happy to be challenged and glad I read it to re-question my priors on a fascinating period with a fun, nerdy take on a magic system.
I’m not aware of a car with headlamps that can’t be adjusted.

Since headlamp alignment has a legal requirement to meet I don’t see how it could be road legal without adjustability.

That exact scenario is why I think self-adjusting headlamps which were standard on most Xenon equipped vehicles should be required for all HIDs whether Xenon or LED.
Partially true, it is more complex than that though. Within the parameters of lifestyle it is not as easy since not everyone will burn off fat the same way in a caloric deficit that also allows them to keep functioning in your day to day life. Some people's resting metabolic is simply not that high either and so dieting alone is a slow and unhelpful process.

Someone in that position will find it really hard to make progress if they treat it like a thermodynamics problem. They need a metamorphic change to their body to increase their energy usage; they will need to get fitter as well as diet. Not just excercise but actual fitness progress that changes their body.

No problem. A lot of commercial radio dealing with many thousands of watts+ gets into some pretty exotic stuff that most people just would never encounter and think about. Stuff that makes sense when you think about it, but most never really need to.

Check out this video, they go into what operations look like at a probably similar but better run commercial AM radio tower. Still probably a lot of the same concepts. There's a cool clip of them arcing off the tower to ground and you can hear the audio through the plasma.

The attack surface console makers are typically concerned about is one which the users have control over - jailbreaking the restrictive OS to customize the software, run custom software, and potentially run pirated games. So, if there were a method to do so through the disc drive, users would indeed go through the relatively minor effort of temporarily unplugging the console to force the disc to be used. Thus, what they're doing wouldn't reduce the attack surface at all.

I think a good start would be to develop useful technology that doesn't have any choke points for the authoritarians to capitalize on. If the internet were gossipped device-to-device at stoplights and in elevators and wherever people congregate, it would be very hard to control the flow of information.

The hard part (besides the engineering) is that those are the same choke points that the capitalists capitalize on. How do you attract investors to back something that cannot be made to respect the investor's stake in it? We'd have to do it because we want it done, not because it'll make us rich later when wet turn it against its users, and that's not something we're well practiced at.

Hopefully one day apple will come to their senses and let this thing be open for real development work, but I'm not holding my breath.
Theres no right abstraction for it because everyones data is different. From my experience what most developers dont realize is that data is more complex than code. Code is merely the stuff that sits on top of the data, shuffling it around... but designing and handling the data in an efficient way is the real engineering problem.

Any abstraction you could come up with wouldnt fit 90% of the other cases

Thanks for the link, and sorry I forgot to check back quickly. Norfolk has since confirmed in a polite manner that the Baker Creek seeds included their patented GMO genes:

Is NHP's Purple Tomato related to the "Purple Galaxy"?

We have received many questions about the purple tomato marketed by Baker Creek as “Purple Galaxy” in their 2024 catalogs. We understand from Baker Creek that they will not be selling seeds of this variety. Given its remarkable similarity to our purple tomato, we prompted Baker Creek to investigate their claim that Purple Galaxy was non-GMO. We are told that laboratory testing determined that it is, in fact, bioengineered (GMO). This result supports the fact that the only reported way to produce a purple-fleshed tomato rich in anthocyanin antioxidants is with Norfolk’s patented technology. We appreciate that Baker Creek tested their material, and after discovering it was a GMO, removed it from their website.

If all four bolts were missing and the door still didn't fall off for months, then it should be sufficient to just attach the doors with one bolt instead of four. This will increase safety as one bolt is less likely to be forgotten, as well as saving 75% on those pointless cost centers of hardware purchasing and assembly labor. I am a real mover and shaker, a true champion of enlightened capitalism for figuring this out - unlike those overpaid engineers who were wasting three bolts on every door. I should pay myself a meager bonus of 40% of the total projected cost savings over the next 60 years due to my artful innovation that has made the shareholders, and therefore everyone, richer.

Drug use and addiction are complex biopsychosocial phenomena with many causal factors and associated harms. It is to be expected that any effective response would likewise be complex and multifactorial. People living with drug addictions are usually living with a multitude of other problems, many of which would still remain if a magic wand were to cure their addiction instantly. A homeless schizophrenic heroin addict would still be in a dire situation if heroin didn't exist.

Drug policy in North America seems to be ideologically fixated both on addiction as a singular problem, and on singular solutions to that problem. Addiction is an important and very hazardous part of someone's life, but it's only one part. Lots of people who live in tents or behave erratically in public aren't addicted to drugs; lots of people who are addicted to drugs don't live in tents or behave erratically in public.

Giving someone an adequate and reliable supply of pharmaceutical opioids is quite likely to reduce their risk of overdose if it gets them away from a highly variable supply of very potent synthetic opioids, but thinking that it'll solve all of their problems is pure fantasy.

Well, the money doesn't go up in smoke. They end up paying it to their staff, suppliers, and so on. If the project doesn't pan out, it's actually just voluntary redistribution of wealth and the society is better off than if Sam's investors hoarded that money or used it to buy up real estate or make other fairly safe and boring bets.

An argument can be made that there is some specific and deliberate way of giving out $10T that's more equitable - say, spend it on education, public transport, or healthcare. But if we could all agree on what to do, nothing is stopping us from doing it without Sam's (theoretical) money.

It’s useful to use the right tool for the right job. Tinder is designed for short term hookups and more people use it for that than not. And that’s perfectly ok. Let people hookup if they want to.

My point is that if your goal is long term relationships, you will likely have better luck using other tools designed for and more frequently used for that.

But it's not just the size of that one column, it's also the size of all the places that id is used as a FK and the indexes that may be needed on those FK columns. Think about something like a user id that might be referenced by dozens or even hundreds of FKs throughout your database.

You seem "forking clueless" about geopolitics. The middle east has been ruled by authoritarianism since the beginning of civilization. America, after the fall of the USSR, at the height of its power, with more relative global influence than any country in history, went on to spend decades and many trillions of dollars trying to create democracy in the middle east only to utterly fail. I think you need to come to terms with the fact that in some places, realistically, no amount of external influence will cause democracy to exist.
Curious what your use case is that API tokens are actually significant expense at this time.

Back when GPT4 came out mid last year my bills were slightly more dramatic (i am what you would probably call a semi heavy individual user) but they never surpassed $200 USD for a single month.
>Does harm reduction include safe access to drugs?

Only if it's part of an evidence-based and empirically validated strategy. We know that safe access to drugs can work as part of a harm reduction strategy, but there's also good reason to believe that thoughtless moves towards decriminalisation or legalisation can exacerbate harms. The Swiss model has worked incredibly well after a lot of difficult trial-and-error, but the Portuguese model is increasingly looking like a mistake. Even with the relatively lower-risk example of cannabis legalisation, we're seeing a very mixed picture in terms of outcomes. The devil is in the details.

If we want to be factually correct though, then it is important to note that sugar (table sugar, the tiny white cubes people sometimes add to their drinks or cereal or baking) is not actually glucose, but rather, it is sucrose, a disaccharide made up of two monosaccharides that have been bonded together (fructose + glucose) and so sugar is not actually good for people, but yes, glucose is fundamental to the functioning of the body.
The human liver can actually create glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis in the absence of consumption of glucose.
