> This is just the same principle as private organization boards of directors delegating the minutia of running the organization to the executives and their teams.

It isn't, because the board can replace the executive leadership at any time, whereas the President can only be replaced every four years and isn't elected by the legislature whatsoever, bypassing checks and balances.

The proper way to delegate minutia to an administrative agency is to have them propose rules that Congress then votes on. The rules might be a thousand pages long and 99.9% uncontroversial, so those rules get rubber stamped, but controversial changes have to go through the political process because it gives Congress the opportunity to refuse.

> Congress remains free to overrule the agencies by passing further legislation, if they so desire.

But that's not how it works, because now you've inverted the default. Before you needed a majority of the House and Senate and the President's signature in order to make a change. Now you need all that to undo the change a President makes unilaterally -- implying that the President would veto it and the legislature would need a veto-proof majority. It's not the same thing at all and is handing too much power to the executive branch.

> There is certainly value in stability and predictability, but there is even more value in having an executive branch of government that is empowered to make decisions quickly and a short feedback loop between the public and the government.

There is value in allowing the executive branch to remove bad rules unilaterally, in the same way as the President can veto a bill. Allowing new rules to be created without the appropriate process is tyrannical.
Yeah I'm curious myself. Did you find an API for it, or did you build your own that scrapes the internet for services that offer this content?

I believe the point is that they could've been blacklisted from the start and instead carriers would just put up their hands say "there's nothing we can do" despite there being something they can do.

It's like when your apple laptop gets stolen and then starts using your applecare support and apple won't help you get it back.

Of course, if you decided not to pay your phone bill I'm sure that device would get blackslisted real fast.
Nope, it's just a regular ATM operated by a 3rd party company. You get cash from it then give them the cash. The store will also often reimburse for the ATM fee.
>able to walk and read the newspaper.

Reading the newspaper is a 'maybe' here, but the notion of patients just generally walking around while on ECMO treatment as we know it today is absurd. Letting a patient be ambulatory during ECMO treatment is still in the realm of very, very, very small-n clinical trials, and the risk of near-immediate death from things like a cannula dislodging are very high. Even if it was safe, you're looking at a massive cart of equipment and 1-2 dedicated personnel to walk around with the patient while tweaking its settings.

In general, nobody being treated by ECMO is 'reading the newspaper', if they're cogent and conscious at all. It has absolutely brutal effects on the body, and people are kept sedated while receieving the treatment for good reason.
> Crash-only software is actually more reliable because it takes into account from the beginning an unavoidable fact of computing - unexpected crashes.

This is a critical point for reliable single-machine systems, and for reliable distributed systems. Distributed systems avoid many classes of crashes through redundancy, allowing the overall system to recover (often with no impact) from the failure or crash of a single node. This provides an additional path to crash recovery: recovering from peers or replicas rather than from local state. In turn, this can simplify the tracking of local state (especially the kind of per-replica WAL or redo log accounting that database systems have to do), leading to improved performance and avoiding bugs.

But, as with single-system crashes, distributed systems need to deal with their own reality: correlated failures. These can be caused by correlated infrastructure failures (power, cooling, etc), by operations (e.g. deploying buggy software), or by the very data they're processing (e.g. a "poison pill" that crashes all the redundant nodes at once). And so, like the crash-only case with single-system software, reliable distributed systems need to be designed to recover from these correlated failure cases.

The constants are interestingly different, though. Single-system annual interrupt rates (AIR) are typically in the 1-10% range, while systems spread over multiple datacenters can feasibly see correlated failure rates several orders of magnitude lower. This could argue that having a "bad day" recovery path that's more expensive than regular node recovery is OK. Or, it could argue that the only feasible way of making sure that "bad day" recovery works is to exercise it often (which goes back to the crash-only argument).
Please say this is a joke

The US has been outperforming since the Second World War but the most notable property is how consistent that performance has been decade over decade. Those consistent small differences in per capita GDP growth rates compound to a big absolute difference over the course of a century.

As an interesting correlation, modern institutional venture capital was invented in the US immediately following WW2, and was producing notable outcomes by the 1950s. That has never really been replicated anywhere else.

I built a series of iot sensors and actuators for home heating. All based around the same modular firmware and hardware concept [0].

We have 3 of those boards scattered around the house and one sitting outside reporting external temperature, humidity, pressure and air quality. The 3 boards inside measure the same values as well but also control the heating system.

Finally, all the data is sent to a raspberry pi over mqtt for logging. Data is presented over a web interface which also allows to set the desired temperature.

Oh, and also a clock with date and time synchronized over NTP showing the external temperature and humidity. Super useful to get dressed in the morning ;) [1]

This is misinformation.

Biden directed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to reexamine the scheduling of marijuana in October 2022.

Nearly a year later in August 2023, the HHS wrote to the DEA recommending that marijuana be reclassified from Schedule I to Schedule III.

A month ago, the DEA was still "writing [their] recommendation" on what they should reclassify marijuana to (if any change was to happen).

And just now, April 2024, the DEA agreed with HHS (as reported by AP, DEA hasn't confirmed this yet).

So no, this isn't "just happening" now, this has been going on for years.

Yes, rickets and osteomalacia (when caused by vitamin d deficiency) are both treatable with vitamin d. Randomized controlled trials clearly show this, unlike the vitamin d trials for most other things that people are pushing vitamin d for.

Everyone should probably have their blood level of vitamin d tested. Most people are not going to see dramatic changes to health from vitamin d supplementation.

Very briefly. Until recent history the 10th amendment was understood to constrain the government from going outside enumerated powers, like intrastate commerce. This is why they needed an amendment instead of law to federally outright ban alcohol. Thus weed had an essentially unpayable 'tax' that got overturned by Timothy Leary

Then it was legal for like a year until feds realized they didn't need to follow the Constitution and they just outright made it illegal, no matter if it's actually interstate.

I understand what you are saying. The iPad is the best choice for some people and the worst choice for others. I have an older iPad Pro and it’s by far my favorite computer mostly because it doesn’t really feel like a computer.

My favorite apps are Procreate and GoodNotes. For me, either one is a killer app that justifies having an iPad.

I also have a ThinkPad for my personal projects and a desktop workstation for my job. Each machine has its strengths and weaknesses. Each was chosen because it was a great choice for what I need to do with it.

I’m one of the few people that hope the iPad doesn’t get more computer-like. I miss the days when you had an Atari or Amiga or PC or Mac and they were all very different and exciting and in competition with each other. Now we are approaching a very boring endgame where cross platform apps look the same everywhere and there’s nothing fun about any of it.
React 19 Beta: Major Updates to Async Transactions Are Here
I don't think it's so much that we kill people. It's that we let them die. If we are truly, brutally honest with ourselves (and overcoming denial, social, religious, whatever conditioning here is a huge struggle), much of the time, the efforts we put in to keeping loved ones alive is really often more about us than it is about them.

The elderly (and I'm generalizing, I realize) are far more accepting of death. It's easier to accept that when you feel you have lived a full and happy life. Contrarily, that full and happy life often involves having the presence of loved ones, who are NOT ready to accept that their life will be - or rather, will feel - less full and happy without that person.

Even just simple denial is a huge thing. One of my first experiences in emergency medicine was an older gentleman, family patriarch. The rest of his extended family had been able to gather at the hospital while he was in and out of arrest.

A provider and support person went to talk to the extended family, who was adamant about following his son, the 'number two patriarch', and his steadfast insistence, "He is a good strong Christian man, and he is going to be okay." (I say this not to mock Christians, to be clear, and also to be clear, he didn't mean in the "eternal life" sense, he and the family truly believed almost that divine intervention was going to take care of things).

After some discussion on this, a decision was made to bring the son into the ER where we were working on his father. Seeing the hopelessness and futility, seeing his father the shadow of the man he knew, and all of that assorted detail was no doubt traumatic, but it also made it viscerally real to his son. No matter the concerted efforts of nearly 10 medical professionals, drugs, defibrillation, ventilation, we were not going to be able to keep his father alive, and there was not going to be any divine intervention. He watched this silently for a few moments, and then asked us to discontinue CPR and if his father's organs were suitable for donation.

My heart broke for him. But this is a struggle we have not figured out, recently. We had it figured out, historically, by necessity, but we are complacent now.

Leaving aside the separate issue of healthcare costs, you can still look at the ratios:

In the US, on average we spend more on healthcare keeping someone alive for the last year of their life than we do on the previous decade. And we spend more on that decade than we do on the rest of their life. Some of which seems obvious, given youth, but nonetheless.

The most ethical position is utilitarianism, up until the point where people who aren't weak or sick or poor or otherwise downtrodden have to sacrifice a single grain of rice, after which it's deontological ethics and how dare you infringe upon property rights. (And I'm not just criticising other people, here.)

It's a hard problem. We have different intuitions for large groups (do whatever saves the most people) and individual cases (how dare you even consider killing someone for spare parts!); and somehow, improving society somewhat – say, funnelling some of that yacht money towards lifesaving treatment – never factors in to these life or death decisions. So what can you do, with limited resources?

It's a coordination problem, more than anything. https://www.principiadiscordia.com/book/45.php contains about as much actionable advice as this here complaint of mine.

I would rather that these things happen preemptively so that there are no such challenges to fight or tickets to contest just because an AI flagged something and humans went ahead with it.

Of course, the actual hacker was to blame, but systemd was implicated. The fact that the attacker was willing to settle for compromising just Debian and Red Hat systems indicated that they perceived the path from xz to libsystemd was the easiest way to effect the backdoor and that doing it any other way would have been too much work for marginally little gain (Red Hat and Debian systems being so common).

It has been a multi-year effort to get the DEA to reclassify marijuana, starting in 2022. It starts with the President telling the HHS to provide a new recommendation to the DEA, and the finally for the DEA to decide what to do on that recommendation.

It's a good point! I've addressed it.

I referred here to the following definition:

"2.4 Other Language-Related Specifications
POSIX.1-2017 is currently specified in terms of the shell command language and ISO C. Bindings to other programming languages are being developed."

But, you are definitely right that some of the tools, defined as standard "utilities", such as AWK, also have their own language. Although, it is only defined in the "utilities" section, https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/a...
However, "sh" is also defined under "utilities", although it has an extensive language specification that is provided as a separate document.

It's kind of funny, the 148.3821nm light being used to excite the nuclear transition is undoubtedly ultraviolet. However, the distinction between X-Rays and Gamma Rays is that Gamma rays originate from the nucleus. So in some lights, the photons emitted by the nuclear phase transition back to it's base state could be called "Gamma Ultra-Violet."

No one WOULD call them gamma rays, but just a fun thought!

Even if the artist wrote their own citation of a work saying "I intended it for it to be loved, and that's the only correct interpretation", it's still not correct if one subscribes, as I do, to the literary-focused "the death of the author('s authority)" once they release it. They really don't get a say how it's taken once someone else perceives it.

I think the parent's free use of 'hate' stands in for a conflict in emotion and interpretation this way, and less it being completely despised or loathed.
