You keep arguing with a strawman. I’m not sure why.

No one is saying “advanced” environmental laws directly conflict with building specific projects. First, I would never call these laws advanced. They’re bad laws, in my opinion.

Second, what they do is not forbid specific designs. Instead, they allow many different entities to exercise fairly arbitrary veto power over large projects, unless their idiosyncratic demands are met.

To first order approximation, it is the idiosyncratic demands of unpredictable groups of complainants with the power to use lawsuits to delay projects, that lead to large bespoke projects.

The core of the argument is that the folks planning and designing those projects are responding to the threat of lawsuits. Most other countries have one feedback period, rather than allowing an arbitrary number of unknown groups to embroil projects in delaying lawsuits at many different points during planning and construction.

Yes but Aethelstan's England at least shares a lot more in common with modern England - you could easily recognise that it comes from the same source (same religion, both have a king, controls almost the same territory, speaks a language that's closer to modern English than any other modern language except Scots).

Even some civilisations that control the same territory aren't regarded as the same - for example modern Egypt and ancient Egypt are both called the same thing, yet wouldn't be regarded as the same civilisation due to their lack of commonalities.
> Yes. The question is: Why in this case is the ACLU more concerned with the first amendment rights of billion-dollar corporations more than those of individual Americans?

Because only the First Amendment rights of the billion-dollar corporations are being infringed upon by the state in the case before SCOTUS.

By contrast, the "individual American" here isn't being infringed upon by the state.

If the state sent the law enforcement to arrest someone exercising their free speech (in a way that doesn't cause harm to people - threatening people and worse acts don't count as free speech), that would be First Amendment infringement. Even then, there are limits - i.e. gag orders in court cases.

> The ACLU that defended marchers in Skokie in the spirit of "I disagree with what you say but I defend to the death your right to say it"

They still support Nazis' right to speak their beliefs, but they don't have a right to use another private entity's bullhorn to do it.
> It’s reasonable to expect online games to eventually cease operations.

I know that online-only games will stop working at some point. This is not the problem.

The problem is that Ubisoft didn’t let people know that game relies on a server they don’t control and they didn’t give us shut down date of March 2024 all the way back in 2014 when they released the game.
No, it's because the First Amendment rights of billion dollar corporations are the First Amendment rights of the press, religious organizations, and individual Americans. Don't let your hatred of corporations or the left blind you to the fact that it's the same right regardless of who exercises it.

And "I disagree with what you say but I defend to the death your right to say it" doesn't imply that I must allow you a platform. Much less that the government must force me, under threat of violence, to allow you a platform. Implicit to the right to accept speech is the right to reject speech. Compelled speech is not free speech.
I assume that in 1917, this plane wasn't going 300 miles an hour, but I'm surprised the plane didn't just break apart when it hit the tower. It looks like a dart stuck in a dartboard.

Celebrating/wanting cultural erasure in the name of liberal thought blows my mind.

If people want a festival for having brown eyes have at it. People such as myself have no cultural or religious ties to anything. My heritage is “American”. My co-workers are all isolated at home throughout the country.

We’re social creatures. We need /something/ to give bearing. Even if it is silly!

And to be clear. Human rights should apply to anyone and everyone. Regardless of what/who/where you are. Or are not. Our world needs more equality, equity, and solidarity. But made up social events surely don’t belong under “human rights”.
memory safety is not the only safety. Dangerous machines are more likely to be fucked by nondeterministic timing or OOMing / overflowing more than "is it memory safe".

Physics is simple, because it studies reality at the fundamental level. New ideas in philosophy / religion / politics / art rarely change how physical systems work. Because physics is so self-contained, you can become good at it by studying primarily physics.

Economics is complex, because it depends on every other human activity. You can't become good at economics by studying it. You also have to study everything else.

No, FIRE as I see it propositioned requires wealth to begin with. See the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIRE_movement — note, for example, the high savings rates. Start with the highest bracket: 75%. If you're spending anywhere near the "affordable limit" of 30% on rent (and AIUI, many people find this tough), it should be trivially obvious that a savings rate of 75% is impossible. (Note that the 30% bar is usually in terms of gross, whereas I presume the amounts listed in the Wikipedia article are in terms of take-home … since otherwise 75% is getting pretty close to tautologically impossible, as it's approaching 100% of one's net income, then.)

And we're only counting rent! Add in utilities, a car (+all the stuff with that such as insurance, gas, maintenance, tax), health insurance, expenses not covered by health insurance b/c this is America, food … and yeah. You're not getting a 75% savings rate. We've not even left the bottom two tiers of Maslow's hierarchy here.

This is all on the Wikipedia page, too. ("Some critics allege that the FIRE movement 'is only for the rich', pointing to the difficulties of achieving the high savings rates needed for FIRE on a low income."; though I quibble with "low" in that statement.)

I'm over sixty years old, I started in applied mathematic and geophysical modelling (gravity, magnetics, radiometrics) over forty years ago and have read along to the climate debate in scientific literature and the popular press all that time.

> There are literal quotes of the mails sent back and forth.

And? Does any of that chatter amoung a few people at one institute in change any of the actual hard data and the interpretation tens of thousands of other qualified people about the globe have reached?

There's plenty to read about the Climategate fiasco, the breathless pearl clutching by AGW deniers screaming "Look! Look! See the way people have tried to bend the PR to warn us deniers! It's a smoking Gun I tell you!!", and the cold calm collected analysis pointing out that a bunch of cherry picked emails means fuck all against the actual case.

Sure .. a very long time ago .. and once the Earth had a largely molten surface also.

Right now in the timescale of humans spread across the planet raising crops and having numbers over a billion .. that all came about in a comparatively stable climate - and it is very clearly human activity that has changed the current atmospheric makeup causing mean trapped energy levels and the land|sea layer to rise.

> But there is nothing close to consensus as far as my understanding goes, even from experts.

Incorrect.

There is overwhelming consensus within the community of people that can read the papers with the exception of a very few outliers who also largely "agree" but with weird issues (Lindzen (Sr and Jr) et al).

The consensus within those qualified is covered here:

And then there's a whole body of self declared "experts" that flounder but otherwise make good money blogging and denying while being paid to do so by the usual suspects. You can follow that money outwards from the Koch brothers, Lord Monckton, et al.

Its understandable that people are confused by all this, there's been a good 50 years now of actively running public media campaigns to sow confusion and to question the science.

on the topic of AI and comic books, since ChatGPT was trained on Wikipedia and thousands of other properties with complete records of comic book lore, why does it get so many relatively basic comic book questions completely wrong? For example, I've asked several times to Jack GPT how did Psylocke temporarily gain the ability to move through shadows in the past? It was a side effect of drinking the Crimson Dawn elixir, which saved her life after she was nearly killed by Sabertooth. All of this information is readily available online. But ChatGPT completely makes up hallucinated explanations for this every time I ask it. Why is that?

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.

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).

I really wish consumers understood how produce works. :-(

There is no single food called "a Jalapeño". In the Solanaceae family, in the Capsicum genus, in the annuum sub-genus, there are dozens of hybrid and cultivar fruiting plants, which are all referred to as "Jalapeño". They all have different properties in how they grow and what they turn into. This includes taste, size, color, shape, and spiciness. (https://www.thechileman.org/results.php?chile=1&find=Jalapen...)

If you want to buy "a Jalapeño", or any kind of produce, and have a reliable experience, you can't just wander into a random store and pick up a generic name for 40 different cultivars, made god knows where and how, shipped to your neighborhood god knows how, and expect that the thing you selected is exactly what you wanted.

Imagine you want a burger. You go to the Big Burger Mart. From a giant bin labeled "Burger", you pick one Burger. You take it home and eat it. Will it be the burger you expected, from the place you expected, tasting the way you expected? Maybe not! But it's An Burger! You didn't seem to care what kind of burger it was when you picked it out of a big bin called "Burger". You didn't ask where it came from, how it was prepared, how long it's been sitting there, etc. So you can't really expect anything but "Generic Burger", which personally doesn't sound very tasty.

To get the produce you expect, you should buy a specific cultivar of produce from a reliable producer. And you're probably gonna need to buy it locally, because the food logistics chain delivering a pepper from Chile all the way to Nebraska is not going to result in an ideal pepper. Another way to get what you expect is to grow it yourself. Many jalapeño cultivars (and other peppers!) grow well in containers. If you want to skip the whole gardening thing, you can buy a pre-grown bush of jalapeño online from a nursery like Bonnie, and just keep it alive and enjoy fresh peppers indefinitely.

I actually feel bad for the supermarkets. They have to read the minds of customers that demand so much, feed back that information to growers about what to grow, and then get it into the stores, with 365-days-a-year perfect consistency, unblemished, "ripe", and tasty. It's an impossible task. Yet they pull it off, even to the point that people have grown up their whole lives not knowing what it is they're buying or how it gets into their shopping cart. But that doesn't stop people complaining about it.
Yeah... it seems to me like the main arguments are: ethics, environmental, and nutrition, in that order. If you agree that it is acceptable to eat meat, you might still be concerned about the environment impact. As I look at the data, it seems to me like raising animals outside our factory production system is not nearly the environmental catastrophe as some would like to project. In fact, I'm inclined to believe that there may even be a net positive, depending on the practices. The problem is, those practices don't yield cheap meat, so they often get discarded as impractical.
To quote myself:

> AFAIK gog does not sell games you can’t own.

> I am disappointed they are dropping a ball on this one. They should visit that forum page and check those games.
I’m not trying to defend gog. “afaik” stands for “as far as I know”. It sucks, but in a world where everybody is trying to prevent people owning software they purchase gog is better than nothing. Beggars can’t be choosers.

> Knowingly selling games with restrictions is fraud.

I agree. Somebody who has money should sue them. In the meantime, if there is a better, more ethical alternative to gog let me know (and I am not being sarcastic when I say “let me know” - I genuinely want to know a reliable, ethical place where I can buy games without DRM).

Meanwhile, here's the PJM plan for geomagnetic disturbances.[1] Start at page 37. It's a very real problem, but the people in the control rooms know what to do. The basic effect is that certain specific transformers overheat. This is now monitored.

Most recent event:

104095 Warning Geomagnetic Disturbance Warning 12.01.2023 06:55 PJM-RTO
A Geomagnetic Disturbance Warning has been issued
for 06:55 on 12.01.2023 through 16:00 on 12.01.2023.
A GMD warning of K7 or greater is in effect for this period.
Additional Comments: End time extended to 1600 EST

This never got to the point that action had to be taken.

Looking at documents from NERC and the various ISOs, I get the impression that PJM is serious about this, but there's a lot of hand-waving from everybody else.

It only affects very long wires with a voltage to ground. Most long-haul is fiber now, which is totally indifferent to this effect. Balanced or twisted pair, no problem. Electric railways, maybe.
