> It's also why OBGYNs are fleeing red states and some labor and delivery departments at hospitals

I feel like you're conflating 2 separate issues:

1. You are correct, one of the biggest concerns for physicians is malpractice risk, and thus a big draw for physicians (especially in high risk specialties) is states that have low caps on max malpractice damage awards. I'd say there is a tendency of red states to have lower caps, but it's really a mix. E.g. Texas has some of the lowest malpractice caps, while Wyoming has a constitutional provision prohibiting caps.

2. When it comes to the risk of obgyns, the main fear is not really the cost of malpractice, but it's simply that extremely restrictive abortion laws make it impossible to give proper care. Lots of people, and politicians especially, like to see the world in absolute black and white, but obgyns know more than anyone else that there are a whole host of issues that can cause a fetus to be nonviable, or dangerous to the mother, and laws that protect the fetus above all else are not rationale. Obgyns can fall anywhere on the political spectrum just like the populace at large, and there are plenty of conservative obgyns who are against abortion for moral or religious reasons, but they also know the realities of pregnancy and that many of these laws are simply unworkable.
You could say that the Latin-speaking Romans tried to be as unoriginal as possible. Most "Golden Age" Latin literature is a deliberate copy of something that exists in Greek.
I was recently amused at an airport security check in a major US airport when a TSA uniform explained to a person in the line next to me that US citizens can qualify to skip the security lines. I chuckled at what somebody might make of that without further explanation. I finally worked my way up to the screening gate where the person ahead of me presented their gold-star drivers license as an ID; the person behind me only had to present their boarding pass.

I have gone through the checkpoint with somebody who presented a photo id that was printed on an inkjet printer. Meanwhile, my holographic state-issued ID was subjected to four different tests.

The rules differ between major US airports. They differ between lines at the same airport. They differ between people in the same line at the same airport.

So it seems to me that some people already can bring whatever they want onto a plane. Which means that everything else is, in fact, theater.
Nah. This does not work if the conditions the immigrants get are shittier than in their country of origin. Why would anyone move?
Wendy's Is Introducing Uber-Style 'Surge Pricing'
We had airport security before the TSA. It was very different and not at all as bad. Reading this discussion, it frankly sounds like you can't conceptualize the notion that not only can you have a very different model of airport security than this over-arching agency, but that many other countries--as well as our country only a couple short decades ago--manage to do so in practice. You thereby keep asking extremely strange questions like whether we believe people should be able to bring absolutely anything onto a plane, as, to you, either you have exactly the model we have now or we have literally nothing... but, obviously, that doesn't make sense, and you thereby just entirely ignore the stark differences between airport security pre- and post- TSA :/. The reality is that the TSA's way of approaching this problem 1) wasn't what was needed to prevent 9-11 and 2) doesn't even manage to prevent people from bringing dangerous things onto planes (another fact you keep refusing to engage with).
> This is where economic reality meets far-right conspiracy. You're going to have to substantiate that claim.

This person is a nationalist. Their goal is to spread hate about immigrants.
>Bigger farms require more chemicals and more pollution.

Yes, including antibiotic resistance.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/to-fight-antimicr...

>Small farmers can also raise animals for meat consumption, and they can probably do it on a smaller scale, with less environmental impact and less pollution than ...

Absolutely. Here's a good video on the topic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRK4I1bSV5I

>But big ag got those controls removed in the 1970s, leading to lower prices paid to farmers, forcing them to get bigger to survive, or driving many of them into bankruptcy.

And a lot of suicide, sadly.

>The problem is not meat production per se, but rather a distortion of the system by powerful large corporations.

I'm not sure when the US lost its will to keep large corporations at bay, but it's been hurting us ever since. Ever see a M&A the federal government didn't like?
You’re totally right … should’ve thought that one through more.
The WW2 Stork was like that - and I’m sure I’ve read of it flying backwards in a head wind, but can’t find that now.
What in this World can we truly measure anyway?
i see what you mean and i'm sympathetic, but i'm also skeptical of the just-so story that previous generations in america believed in as well (although them believing in it may be a just-so story that I happen to believe in... it gets confusing...)
Yeah, I'm not that worried after it goes into the dishwasher.

The real issue is to get as much as the capsaicin off the cutting board, knife, hands, etc, before it goes into the dish washer.
Don't know about you but every top university I went to had tons of people from overseas. The opposite is true for mid-tier universities. I wonder why that is...
Both Texas and California suffer from the same underlying cause: corporations putting profits over preventative maintenance and future-proofing.

Not all of California is on PG&E, however; Sacramento (where I grew up) has SMUD, and while it ain't perfect, either, it's leaps and bounds better than PG&E - almost as if being community-owned means there's a stronger incentive to actually meet the needs of said community.
I went to school right in the middle of that map. It’s very selectively picked to get to 26%.

The boundary includes a very small percentage of the city which happens to house a large sports stadiums, local and federal government buildings, a large hospital, and one of the largest universities in the country that is primarily a commuter school.

Also the map seems to count some of the underground parking at GSU as taking up space above ground.
Hah. Anti-immigration but more or less on a path to ban abortions. I'll let you do the math and find the sinister reason behind why they are forcing the poorest people to reproduce.
We’ll see what happens with Japan long before Western countries hit the shit storm.
A physical line has historically been a de facto surge price. You have to pay the cost of the meal plus your own opportunity cost of waiting in line. The long line is also a signal of how long your food will really take.

Mobile options almost completely eliminated that, so you have way more orders at a time than you otherwise would (or the restaurant needs a digital queue of some sort)

> Is it possible the metal detectors are actually working and not just security theater?

The results have been consistently poor over a long period of time. Just one example: https://web.archive.org/web/20181009074941/http:/oversight.h...

It's possible that they are doing something for sure, but also possible they're just a tiger rock.
The average software engineer salary in California is about $150k (https://www.indeed.com/career/software-engineer/salaries/CA), which works out to about $100k after tax (https://www.forbes.com/advisor/income-tax-calculator/califor...), or about $8k a month.

If you're living somewhere where you struggle to find a studio apartment for less than $2k a month, you probably don't need a car. You can easily feed a single person for $20 a day, =about $600 a month, even if you don't cook.

75% is a stretch, but it's entirely possible to save more than half your salary. You might not want to, but then a lot of people don't want to abandon their giant NPM dependency trees either.
>The Eastern provinces yes - including places now considered "middle eastern", which back when the Roman conquest happened were run by the Ptolemys and other hairs of Alexander.

I'm not sure what your point is? The eastern provinces were part of Rome.

>The emperors however, when Byzantium was established did not, as they came from latin speaking Roman elites (it was after all the eastern part created from the split of the Roman empire into two organizational units). It took a few centuries for the eastern emperors to speak Greek (and basically rise from the local elements).

Emperor Julian may have spoken Greek as his first language and he was emperor during the 300s.

Regardless, a large number of emperors knew Greek to varying degrees. Many of the Roman elites (in the West) knew Greek.
Oil supposedly also dissolves capsaicin.

Maybe put a half a cup to a cup of evoo and warm up the oil, swirling it around next time? Then you can let it cool down and maybe use this to solidify the oil?

That would also mean you wouldn't need to season your pan again.
Variable pricing on uber or flights makes sense because people value their time or schedule flexibility differently and there is finite or slow to change capacity. An executive cares more about minimizing travel time than a student so they will pay more for the most convenient flight.

For restaurants, a "happy hour" might make sense to bring people in off-peak. But trying to charge more during peak hours only works if I can get my meal faster because all the price sensitive customers are gone. Maybe I don't eat enough fast food at peak hours, but that's not a pain point for me.
These are all excellent fountain pens! I'll add the Lamy 2000 (Fine nib) to the list, as it's my personal favorite and is what I use all day every day. And I happen to also use a Pilot Custom 823 (Medium nib) for journaling every morning. Nothing beats a nice fountain pen with quality ink and paper. Speaking of inks, I've found Rohrer & Klingner's Schreibtinte Verdigris to be wonderful in the Lamy 2000, and lately I've been using Noodler's Sequoia Green for the Pilot Custom 823.
The TSA misses substantial fractions of weapons at checkpoints per internal testing. What this means is that approximately no one is attempting to blow up or hijack planes, otherwise they would be successful, as the test show 40+ percent of weapons will make it through screening checkpoints.

It used to be twice that. They improved to only missing one third.

> And here we go with an entire thread of cynical comments where people assume that the jacked-up Agile implementations they've seen at their own organizations are the only way it ever can be implemented . . .

Probably one of the most agile projects ever was Windows 95. They started by building prototypes of the UI elements they wanted to implement in frickin' Visual Basic, putting them in front of end users, gathering feedback and iterating the next set of UI prototypes, till they converged on the design with the start menu, taskbar, and desktop. About the only thing missing was CI/CD.

But that was Microsoft at the peak of their powers. They had enormous resources and top-tier talent. And they had bet the company on Windows 95; if it flopped, it would be a disaster. It is very, very hard to have the stars align just right, to put together a team that cared enough about the product to actually do this sort of development rather than cargo-cult it to check off some process compliance checkbox.

Yes, I know Windows 95 was a buggy mess. Given the constraints Microsoft was operating under, it's a miracle it worked at all.
I like the Sharpie pens. I assumed they would be terrible but I actually like them. Ballpoints frequently just stop writing. I'm not clever enough for fountain pens. The Sharpie pen is just a tiny, stiff marker that seems willing to put out ink without any fuss.
Pop is a very similar product.
I remember several fast food restaurants were trying afternoon "happy hour" deals a few years ago. Pretty much a simpler version of that.

Growing up we grew 5 jalapeno plants and treated them all different to see what the outcome was.

What if we moved earth closer to sun or more away from sun.

So maybe we are able to detect that at time X there will be solar flares. We know they will be here at X + 8min.

But if we start moving away now from the sun, we will have more time to deal with it.

If it was immediate it should also be immediate even if we moved to 20x distance of the sun, or no?
It's the decision of the business to understaff relative to the expected demand in order to minimize labor costs. They could so easily have another one or two people working to make it better for everyone, they simply choose not to so they can squeeze that little extra bit of profit out.

The freshman classes could be swamped by people who aren't serious about getting a med degree. And why should they be serious? It doesn't cost them anything. Heck, they could have a good time for a semester and never attend class. Caltech was a pretty fun place to be.

If people are halfway through, a motivating thing to keep them going is the money they've already invested in it.

I bet you'll see a significantly higher dropout rate with free tuition. Like we see in public high school.
You may be mistaking the fact that the Romance languages would come to dominate in the former territories of the Roman Empire in Western Europe for some sort of significance of speaking Latin; not at all. Places like Spain and France would come to speak Latin derivatives because the common soldier stationed there spoke a dialect of it themselves, and the Roman governance needed to talk to the working-class soldiers to get anything done. The Roman working class would not have an extensive grasp of Greek.

The educated and elite of Rome, nay, the majority of the Mediterranean would have spoken a form of Greek. Paul of Tarsus writes his letters now collected in the New Testament of the Christian Bible in Koine Greek; likewise the rest of the New Testament, as well as most of the writing of the Church Fathers, largely written by people from middle-class backgrounds.

Hence, the Germanic warlords who would come to be the ancestors of Western European aristocracy today, would come to speak Latin because they primarily were use to engaging the militaries of Rome, both as allies and as enemies, rather than the intelligentsia of Rome.

But don't rush to dismiss it as a fringe area. Unopposed "alignment" will influence everything even slightly related to AI. It's going to be a version of modern social issues with corporate fears driving the norms (anyone who didn't live under a rock for the last ten years is aware of these), but in a subtler way. All the writings, all the articles, everything will look like max-volume DEI report. It may turn out to be a good thing in general, but also the same "good for you" as in your favorite anti-utopia.

I like this because it encourages affluent people to adopt electric vehicles. If we want to live in cities with clean air, quiet streets, and fewer gasoline stations, then it makes sense to encourage electric vehicle adoption. Many people look to the wealthy as role models, and many wealthy people seek status, so this seems like a win.

I don't know that jalapenos and serranos are different enough to say this about. Serranos are more vegetal, I guess? But jalapenos are pretty variable, especially depending on ripeness, and I would claim right now (without being able to back it up) that serranos fit into the spectrum of possible jalapenos (like: there is a jalapeno somewhere that tastes just like the median serrano), minus the capsaicin.

Which is what people are saying they want from a non-industrial jalapeno.

The boy has a rotavap in the basement, I just need to convince him to let me run up some peppers in it to do the comparison. :)

Used Superset back in 2016 and 2020; both time chose Metabase for our clients' BI dashboard and Superset for our internal dashboard. Superset is nice, easy to modify and extend but not user friendly as Redash or Metabase. But after the author launched Preset, it seems to have improved much with the company effort. It looks like to me the best way for OSS to advance is to have a company dedicated to improve it.
(edit above) Church authority was codified in writing. That was basic to the construct of Christianity, directly evolving from the extensive system of Jewish Law. Authority over the written scripture was a closed system.

Authority as a general thing? lots of reasons to fight about authority -- this might need some specific examples to get more context.

It would take a lot less energy to destroy everything we've built, than the energy needed to build them in the first place.

I find it useful for storage. I digitalise everything with an automatic feeder scanner.

I am using hundreds of sheets of paper at any given moment. Those I don't use, I archive in boxes(if they are important) or throw them away(after digitalising).

I travel a lot, so when I need some notes, I just print them again in color whenever I am.

I only process the notes automatically with an AI in order to search. But nothing sophisticated and storage is cheap so they remain a high quality image, I do not bother making it into a proprietary eink format(although I calculate it for searching).

I do not use the iPad for that, because paper and color pens give me way more real state for way less money and eink capabilities.
