I am a CPA with 20+ years of experience. I laugh at the lawyer/accountant/medical analogies, not because they aren't true, mostly for people who insinuate medical professionals should work for free or are obligated to work for free because medical is sacred?

I have no problem telling clients these days, if you don't want to pay me for my knowledge/skill/experience, I will go home and spend time with my family or doing something I enjoy. My time is not yours unless we both agree you will pay for it or I give it to you for free out of my own choice. You do not own my time and you do not own your medical professional's time either.

PS: To the person who said you can willingly go to the open market and find professional "X" somewhere in this thread. Good luck. CPAs, lawyers, any professional with experience is in such high demand its hilarious. We name our price and chose the clients we want to work with these days. I know people in my industry from a variety of locations across the US, same problem everywhere. If you don't want to pay for experience from any professional industry, go ask ChatGPT or spend half your day watching Tiktok or Youtube videos, good luck. Not saying it to be pompous, it's reality and has been for ~5 years.

As someone who recently bought a house in the EU, IMO the best place to make money is the US. But, the best place to spend it is the EU. Much like doing the location/CoL arbitrage in the US, it's even better if you can get higher end US salaries and do a quality of life arbitrage to the EU.

We moved to a booming resort town last year. We’re seeing a similar attitude among the locals.

There are about 250 units of short term rentals in a city of thousands and thousands of housing units. Neighborhood are going up with more units than the entire short term rental market.

To say short term rentals are driving cost is insane when there is clearly a wholesale shortage.

That being said, I understand the legitimate frustration with what are commercial entities moving into residential areas.
Developer grievances about Apple have been simmering for years, and even longtime Apple fans aren't happy about what's been going on lately. This is not a smart path to follow.

They need enthusiastic small developers to help build the Vision Pro ecosystem, and so far it doesn't seem to be going that well.

I think it is because most of those things are just regular sysadmin things and homelab more refers to setting up hardware or software that you wouldn’t normally find at work.

As for your actual problem, a lot of ports are blocked by ISPs because a LOT of computer worms have used them to spread malware in the past. However you usually can test to see if the port is open as well as try alternative uncommon ports like 47364 to see if they work.

Some ISPs, although I believe mostly mobile ones, also use something called CGNAT where your Internet IP is actually an internal network IP within a part of the ISP, and you can usually test for this by checking if your IP is in a private range.
Here's a brief article I found about this. They talked to a former security director at LAX who says...

“The majority of folks” who are found with firearms “are what we call low-risk passengers,” Jeffries said. “These are your more frequent travelers. They’re the ones usually in PreCheck. I don’t think there’s any malicious intent. The number one thing that we would hear out there, and I’m sure it still stands to this day, is, ‘I forgot it was in my bag.’”

This maybe more a reflection of how many people in the US own guns and less about people intending to stage some kind of shootout at the airport.

Maybe there would be an incentive for them to engage if they were getting paid for it... granted there would also need to be an incentive for them to not abuse it. But that's already an issue, for example: I had a dentist who would routinely recommend procedures I didn't need.

I know a few primary care doctors and they are all overworked and overbooked. I can't imagine any of them going above an beyond unfortunately (not because they don't want to but because they don't have the time). But most of the one's I know hate the system too.

Why does the website headline say "train" instead of "finetune"?
I wonder if there will now be a large number of similar suits from others that have been discriminated against in the same way. Maybe the eventual total liability could be meaningful?
I am not sure about this?

Volatile memory is at this time merely an outgrowth of the uptime of the system. Back when people routinely turned their machines "off and on again", it became part of that convention. But now uptime can be measured in years, and even personal laptops can enter and exit suspended state for weeks on end without clearing volatile memory.

What we have developed in software systems to accommodate this on long running processes is garbage collection.

If the volatile/non-volatile distinction had never developed, all that would have happened is that R&D into garbage collection would have been more intense, and earlier.

In fact Lisp had garbage collection from day 1.

Systems like Smalltalk were also built from the ground up on an image-based model where all reachable state was persistent.

In other words: transient data does not necessitate volatile memory. It necessitates garbage collection, though. (And likely also a distinction in programming between "performant" memory areas and non-performant, assuming our NV storage is the latter.)

In a way, programmers having to deal with their garbage upfront and not relying on "have you tried turning it off and on again?" could have created better software engineering practices earlier? Maybe?

All pricing is artificial. Money does not occur in nature. This is such a generic point that it isn’t worth debating. And if you think “but you know what I mean” then no, I really don’t.

I run a randomness company. It's impossible to prove it 100%.

To me it seems like you solved the first problem when building a company which is building something that at least some people are willing to pay for. The next problem you have to solve now is figuring out if there are more people who want it and how you get to those people.

The first and the best, synthetic dissociative discovered to be an analog of Ketamine, called "Methoxetamine" / MXE, has since been made illegal (shame, it is a euphoric, warm, bladder-safe, highly coveted and respected chemical, RIP); there has been 3-4 generational iterations in the immediate field that yield similar affects - especially the lingering narco-metabolites that leaves the user with the "warm afterglow" after a single dose, which is the mechanism of action for it's remarkable, immediate, and 2-week lasting of it's depression-treating behavior.

Their legality (grey) is dubious but so is the Federal Analog Act.

They are also extremely cheap and relatively easy to find, often on the clearnet/"research chem" communities and purchasable with a credit/debit card.

Their safety profile is well understood - the only common issue is the short "manic" phase some report, but that is nearly exclusive to classic PCP.

But the tuple still cannot conform to Equatable because it is not an "existential type"? It is pretty handy when you want to pass data around generic type T which is Equatable. Now if you want to add a little bit more data (through a tuple), it doesn't work any more because tuple of Equatable's cannot be Equatable itself.
How in the world does a test of 'does this colored text match its name' test 'self-control'. 'Self-control' as used in the article means things like 'can you stick to a diet', or 'can you keep your word', not can you control your thought processes enough to quickly name a color. You can be highly self disciplined and bad at this task, or highly undisciplined and good at it. In fact, I'd imagine undisciplined people might be inspired by the entertainment value of this 'game', and spend useless time practicing it rather than doing what actually matters.

What is on the title is absurd. Somebody linked to the actual paper, that isn't open, but from the abstract:

- 2 cans a week is the amount it will start to be harmful. Effect size is proportional to the extra consumption.

- It's a correlation detected over a large, but very homogenous population. There is space for all kinds of spurious results. That's reason to look for other studies, not to simply dismiss this one.

- What it actually finds is that exercise benefits do not interfere at all with harm from excessive sugar. You can have either combination of them.

- Non-sugared beverages effects (if any) were indistinguishable from noise. (IMO, that one is very surprising.)

Well, it would be occasional for you to ask questions to your doctor, but your doctor wouldn't be just occasionally answering questions from their patients

Imagine everyone sending non-urgent questions... Isn't it even more irritating to be receiving non-urgent questions than urgent ones if you're a doctor? I guess the doctor could reply with a FAQ.

Honestly, this is where I think personal LLMs should come to the rescue. Just ask a doctor-sanctioned/fine-tuned LLM for trivial questions.

> we can support a larger population, but we can't support a larger population at the current meat consumption levels

All environmental encroachment and emissions scale with demand. It's reductionist to only talk about meat; it's not the only reason people want to migrate to the West. Notwithstanding, demands for alternatives have shot up in Western countries and land-use for cattle has not actually increased in the US. As countries in developing world lift themselves out of poverty, they consume more meat (and fuel, gadgets, etc).

Even if you hypothetically cut down meat consumption in the West, emissions would still rise to levels that would exacerbate climate change. It's not enough. And "degrowth" is such an injust hardship to demand of developing countries that it's amazing people consider it an actual possibility. Some combination of tough policy measures (in the short-run) and innovation is what we can expect, probably after things get worse.

Ultimately global population growth is going to stall, in less than 100 years. by then whether people eat meat will be a moot point. Demand won't grow, and renewables will have taken over the market.

Or, to put it another like, like visual programming, like "programming languages should be able to wear syntaxes like themes", like "there ought to be some sort of nocode type solution with all the power of conventional programming but easy enough for anyone to pick up", there are reasons why this is not how all programming works already. Good ones and big ones. And none of those reasons are that nobody has had the idea before or put work into implementing it. If you want to succeed with an approach like this, you're going to need to understand them.

To be honest, such experience as I've had with automated persistence has generally actually strongly convinced me of the opposite, that it is a positive good that we do not get persistence everywhere. Consider the understanding that we get from functional programming that state is generally dangerous and to be carefully managed. Pervasive persistence fights hard against that careful management. Now state is not just in your program up until the OS process is terminated, but it's all permanently and automatically persisted. You get a huge new class of bugs involving path dependence on what bits of code were running across what bits of state when, and who ran which versions, and you hit them all the time, and they are nightmares to debug. At least when the program has the courtesy to completely cease existing and leave some particular concrete bit of state behind for the future, and then run through your code to load it back from that location, you have boundaries, and procedures for minimization and reconstruction. I actually shy away from too much automated persistence, and also have a very skeptical eye on the ever-present promise of memory that is as fast as RAM but persists like SSDs... I rather expect the computing world will discover that "rebooting" is not just a crutch, but actually a pretty fundamental and useful tool. However much in theory your software should never need it, in practice it's just too useful.

That said, best of luck to those jousting with this windmill. I'm not saying don't joust, people in general probably don't joust enough, I'm just saying, learn the history of why this hasn't worked before and learn the challenges. Success is at the very least more likely if one learns from the previous efforts.

Each EU member is responsible for analyze the food that is imported crossing its borders, and they just report the results to destination. The destination of one of those consignments of contaminated strawberries from Morocco was the Netherlands; the destination was warned of the analysis, and what happened next, who knows.

What you are suggesting is to use coaction, blackmailing, to stop analyzing imports into the EU, or to hide the results, that cross the EU's southern borders.

That's precisley why official/standard build systems suck, they are extremly cumbersome to wrangle when you go off the beaten path.

So the irony is that standard build systems/package manager are whats good for hello worlds, non-trivial programs require custom build steps.

Just let me write a build.bat/build.sh per platform/compiler/configuration that are explicit and precise in compiler flags, paths, output files, pre/post processing, etc so nothing magical is happening under the hood.

I can't quote it precisely, but here's a gist from The Glass Bead Game:

> Intelligence can find its own way, the teacher's job is to address stupidity.

Overlooking the crudeness here, I think it's a good idea, and translates to medicine. Most of us are not qualified to define good care, but we know bad care when we see it.

One example of bad care is when you don't discover how expensive a treatment will be until 3 months after it has occurred.

Another might be cases where medical professionals are expected to work insane long shifts with insufficient sleep time in between.

Whatever the examples are, let's make a list of them. Build consensus around the worst offenders, and then start revoking counts-as-medical-insurance tax status from the insurers who fund the bad behavior. If you want pre-tax-medical-insurance dollars, you must:

- be able to turn a "what if" treatment scenario into a dollar amount in less than 10 minutes

- not have organizations be in-network which create unsustainable working conditions for medical personnel

- [other example of bad care goes here]

...and we add to that list over time. Markets don't do design, they do evolution. We have to kill off the ones we don't like if we want more of the ones we like.
