>Because the discussion was about the quality of the Court's opinions in general. I'm not sure what is so difficult about that for you to grasp.

Because the discussion is about the ruling on this case by the court. Discrediting the court because of dogma is utterly pointless.

>Once again, you are being unreasonable. It's completely valid to talk about the general quality of decisions made by a circuit court. I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that such a thing cannot be discussed "productively" And it seems you are basing your opinion here on the fact that wait for it others disagree with you!

It's one thing to read the ruling and poignantly point out flaws so they can be criticized in ways that are useful. Constructive criticism, as it's often called. Criticizing the judiciary in itself is fine and certainly encouraged. In fact, this is fundamental to the concept of appealing to higher courts.

What's not fine is criticizing the courts solely because you don't like how they ruled. You didn't even read their ruling. You're just trying to discredit an entire foundational institution because they didn't act in your favor. That is nonsense and an affront to rule of law and a functioning society.

>The legitimacy of any court is based on, in part, how it is received by the public. That's the nature of government and law. I'm really not sure how you came to the conclusion that courts cannot be criticized, but it's flat-out asinine.

See prior point.

>The 5th Circuit has done its own work to spread doubt and uncertainty regarding the quality of its rulings, and that is absolutely not the fault of anyone pointing out the deficient quality of a number of its recent rulings. To suggest otherwise seems more than stifling.

If we're going to discuss the ruling of a court, it is a requirement that we read the ruling and consider the points made. That is not happening here, and I am going to call that bullshit out.
Related, I wish there was a good way for parking garages to advertise their vertical clearances, beyond the headache bar at the entryway.

I was recently invited to a vendor dinner at a nice restaurant in a downtown area with no street parking and I had no transportation option beyond my work truck (clocking in at about 6' 5"). I had to resort to using street view to check the entrances to various parking structures and hope the picture was close enough/the text wasn't too blurry for me to read the warning bar. In the end, it worked! But it was a painful process.
Yes, indeed. There are quite a few “nature inspired metaheuristic algorithms” which do exactly this. When I say “quite a few”, I mean countless.

> I rather think that existence was due to a source and a journo - not any public court.

It's pretty hard for me to conceptualize that you are still trying to argue "actually, maybe it's appropriate for the silly lottery marketing website to output unsolicited porn without warning because one user might enjoy that" by literally nitpicking semantics in the idea that the average person is not going to find this appropriate.

A journalist and a source can indeed make for some bunk stories. It's still a point for this being a legitimate concern. Another obvious point towards that is the fact that it made it to the HN frontpage and now we're discussing it.

>The entire project should be outsourced to a Japanese contractor.

You can't do that; it doesn't work that way unless perhaps you transfer ownership of all that territory to Japan.

This is a location that's on the opposite side of the planet. So you could obviously do the design work in Japan, but the construction has to happen on-site, which means

1) using local workers, and
2) dealing with local laws/regulations.

The labor force alone is hugely different between the two countries, not just the people themselves and their culture and language, but also how they're organized: contractors, subcontractors, unions, etc. A Japanese company with no experience working outside Japan would have no idea how to deal with all that.

Local laws and regulations are also an issue, since again the Japanese company would be unfamiliar with all that. In NYC, for instance, there's some crazy regulations about how many workers have to be present for stuff, which ends up driving costs up a lot. Just having a foreign company manage the project isn't going to change that stuff.

The ridiculous costs of American projects are due to many factors present in America now, and simply hiring a foreign company to manage a project isn't going to change those. America needs to fix its issues. Unlike a car or airplane, a bridge or subway isn't something you can just build offshore and transport to your country.

> I believe the standard does not specify what the intermediate progressive renderings should look like.

This is possibly getting too academic, but IIUC for a progressive JPEG, e.g. encoded by cjpeg to have 10 0xDA Start Of Scan markers, it's actually legitimate to post-process the file, truncating to fewer scans (but re-appending the 0xD9 End Of Image marker). The shorter file is still a valid JPEG, and so still relevant for discussing whether all decoders will render the same pixels.

I might be wrong about validity, though. It's been a while since I've studied the JPEG spec.

Very little of skydiving is actually regulated. There are some basic FAA regs (reserves need to be packed by certified riggers, for instance, and no jumping through clouds, and a handful of other rules), but USPA is a voluntary ‘regulatory’ organization and they do the rest.

The rules are written in blood, and lack of compliance tends to be self regulating.

They provide insurance in exchange for following the rules, which generally does what it needs to do.

But anyone crazy enough could pay a pilot to let them jump out and not follow any of the licensing rules, and there isn’t much that would happen until something goes wrong and lawsuits start flying.
If some kind soul wants to point to an email client that has a capability like Outlook rules I'm dying to know about it. I have a mate whose business is entirely based on a big set of Outlook rules to do processing and there doesn't seem to be any good alternative.

When I was really into it, between $5-10k a year depending on effort, which was largely not taxable. I figured I was making around $30 an hour post-tax, which was less than my day job paid, even after accounting for tax.

These days I understand it is probably harder to hit those numbers. When I was doing it in earnest (2014-2016, roughly), it was already regarded as "late" in the sense that issuers had started to take notice and crack down. I'd read people reminisce about the "golden days" (pre-GFC, I guess) when you could get a card with something like a 5%-for-6-months signup perk and just absolutely go to town, we're talking literal millions in manufactured spend.

The EPA themselves defined what is a "new use" as anything that wasn't ongoing as of and after 2015, and the court threw the book at them for being hypocrites with their own logic.

There is a huge honking element missing from this analysis though. The definition of ‘good enough’.

Skydiving fatalities aren’t even in the top 100 causes of death in the US, and statistically if you drive any significant distance to the DZ you’re more likely to die on the drive there. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9859333/]

Unless the DZ is super shitty anyway. Even Lodi is way safer than recreational drugs though, and good luck stopping THOSE.

So I’d argue the relevant regulatory authorities are doing at least as much as they ‘should’ except for perhaps Lodi which is a public safety hazard.
Indeed. MK8 courses are absolutely loaded with mini turbo opportunities— every drift, jump, or bump in the road is a chance to get that little boost. I’m not at all surprised it can make the difference in competitive play.
People keep saying "right to a violent resistance" but it's not a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_resist

Nobody has the "right" to kill other people. That's not a right.

Gaza was not occupied, so they specifically didn't have the right you claim they had that doesn't even exist.

> On the Gaza strip they're denied international relations and trade.

This is also not true. When Israel left in 2005 they pretty much had control of their destiny. They chose to elect Hamas, that said its goal is to kill all Jews in the world. They chose to keep attacking Israel after Israel left. The full blockade on Gaza from the Israeli side was only imposed after Hamas came to power in 2007. Gaza still has a border with Egypt where they were free to negotiate any trade or relationships they felt like. Except the Egyptians didn't like them any better than Israel because they supported ISIS in Sinai.

You might think it's flippant remarks or a sarcastic tone, which I can understand, but I was honestly imagining in my head what a film about all of this would look like. I would honestly, even desperately like to know what is going on in a head of Sam Altman, or if this isn't possible, then any interpretation of what someone else might think that is going on in his head. So while I understand how I am perceived like that, I'm at the same time really curious about the topic, and actually really curious about the output of the OP. When I mentioned the 150 - 250 page novel, I was actually really desiring to read that, because OP had such unique perspective, I just needed to know more.

I was specifically calculating the 150 - 250 pages to possibly contain enough detail to have many of the explanations that I would have energy to read.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to get this book, so I will have to deal with my everyday life instead.

I was kind of hoping that mentioning "Succession" due to its nature would give it away, that I'm respecting the intelligence of the criticism, because I feel like "Succession" is a really intelligent and insightful show.

Obviously the way I commented it, it didn't come off like that and I was trying to be unnecessarily funny when I shouldn't have been, but I don't 100% regret it, I did it, there were reasons for it, maybe not the best ones, but I hope we all learn from it.

I'll try to learn from it. Maybe I should ask better questions, maybe be more sincere, maybe live a better life. Hopefully something works.

In the end I am not happy at all about how my responses are giving off the impression I don't respect OP's thoughts, which I do, but I just miscommunicated here.

Firstly, as i mentioned, there are costs to reducing risk, so it's counter productive to educate poor people on how to structure assets when they have no assets.

So the idea of "stop being poor" is not in play. This doesn't make you rich, it is the reduction of risk that comes with being "rich". (For some definition of rich).

Secondly it's not "taking advantage" in a pejorative sense. It doesn't make other people poorer. It protects assets from creditors. Specifically assets that are not designated as collateral for specific credit.

It's better to think about this like insurance. You pay something to reduce risk. Taking out insurance isn't an affront to poor people, or a sign of excess capital.

Your comment though is a common reaction. There's this notion that making use of financial structures hurts the little guy. Or makes people poor. It does neither. Rather, I would consider that those who should use it, but don't, are either uneducated, or lazy, or irresponsible, or some combination of all 3. The education part can be fixed.

Clearly, just like insurance, to use it or not is a choice. Everyone is free to make their own choices, and determine their appetite for risk. Unfortunately financial management is not taught at school, and those who never learn it tend to be those who also "end up with nothing."

The entire premise of this thread is speculation, which I did. Furthermore, the GPT response prompted me to come up with my own speculation (I won't call it a hypothesis, as this is not science):

I never said anything about a personal attack. You didn't disagree with me (There wasn't anything to agree to, I was speculating), you went on a tirade about how much you dislike people using ChatGPT. I don't have a problem with you, or your opinions about ChatGPT, in fact, I respect them.

You also haven't considered one thing: Posting trash responses by various LLMs on public forms will help weaken future LLMs by poisoning their inputs. If you hate LLMs so much, you should consider doing your part to poison their inputs so they become irrelevant, case in point, this thread is the third result for "uname used in malware" on Kagi, and first on Google. Stop being a passive participant and fight LLMs at the front if you care so much.
