No, I don't. Early jewish communities in Central Europe spoke the local language, then carried this language with them as they moved into Eastern Europe and the Baltics. Over centuries it diverged from its ancestral origin, as all languages do. At no point did anyone look at another jewish language and go “oh that's interesting; let's do something like that.”

network television is on life support; cable news’s doomsday clock is ticking;

The thought's occurred to me recently that television (OTA broadcast, networks, and cable) are about to get, or are in the process of getting, newspapered. In the sense that the evisceration which hit newspapers from ~2000 to 2020 is about to hit the video sector. Mostly because of advertising flight and audience shifts to elsewhere.

I don't know what the end result will be. Maybe the situation in the radio industry, where increasingly there's little more than hit-driven track-programmed pop stations, increasing dominance of Spanish-language broadcasts, and at the left end of the dial (in the US) a smattering of public, religious, and college broadcasters. Rock radio is all but dead. Classical all the more so. What TV's analogue to this might be I'm not sure, though I suspect it's already somewhat represented by present offerings: shopping networks, non-English broadcast (particularly Spanish), and highly-automated syndication, all chasing smaller ad spend and, likely, less lucrative audience segments.

Having largely avoided TV for the past four decades I'm really not positioned to observe what's happening here, though I'm seeing increased general signs of stress from articles and news reports.
Hate to break it to you, but your Libertarian fantasy will not work out the way you think it will.

We are going to see more pollution, more child labor, more exploitation of poor immigrants and more hoarding of wealth by the few among other side effects.

This just shifts the problem from homelessness to crack shacks and drug dens. I don't want to deal with either.
I’ve witnessed similar and in a way, I think the person was kept alive too long. I personally think they would’ve died from other causes well before it got to the stage they were at. Euthanasia is probably a pretty important thing because of this. If we’re going to resuscitate people in their 80s, then maybe we shouldn’t let them go through the “long death” a few years later.

All in all it’s a tragic thing the only constellation is that I guess after 24 hours in that, one welcomes death with open arms.

I have an "Intelligent Human Turing Test" when I sell things on Craigslist (usually professional/pro-sumer music/audio equipment). If someone doesn't pass it I don't respond. If they do they are generally thrilled to be getting a real deal on gear that's in the shape it's been described. This has worked in the greater SF Bay area through good and bad economic times over the last 20+ years.

"In person, cash transactions ONLY, no shipping or trades. Scammers will be ignored.
Prices are firm, please don't respond if you don't understand what that means - I monitor markets daily on (CL, eBay, Reverb, XYZ music sites), here are links to recent similar condition gear sold for $xxx more.
Respond with a phone # and 2-3 times this week that work for you to talk or meet."

At my work some of our best employees (including myself!) were found through Craigslist. And as a hiring manager, CL ofter brings me better applicants than Zip Recruiter, Indeed, Idealist and other "mass application spam cannons" HR inexplicably favors that have made being a hiring manager a real PITA in the last 5 years.

And Neil Gorsuch concurred in the court's majority opinion!
Foucault was a genius with many of his critiques of power. The panopticon, biopower, his genealogical historical narrative techniques, etc. His works are also often a surprise to people I know who read them for the first time because they expect chattering gibberish like Derrida, Lyotard, etc., but instead meet fairly sober minded critiques grounded in historical evidence (that can and has been argued against and critiqued itself, but that's par for academic discourse)

Unfortunately, he was terminally French, leading to some very bad stances that were sadly popular around that time (that petition...), and was slandered by a fraud and reactionary (Sorman) who admitted recently to making it up. This has allowed the dimwitted and incurious to discount his trenchant analyses out of hand rather than engage critically (for example, look how much of the conversation in here concerns salacious rumors rather than biopolitics or the disciplinary society ).

Him being openly gay and one of the first major AIDS casualties also fuels this discourse, as when I search for "Sartre" here, I see next to no discussion of his hobby of (heterosexually) raping young girls with the aid of Simone de Beauvoir. I temper my expectations because this is a tech/stem centric place, but the general lack of philosophical literacy is always disappointing to me in such crowds!
Nice! In my experience small issues can escalate if left unchecked because you start compensating and your body also "learns" to do things the wrong way.

On the other hand... one of the people I supported did exactly the right things to her computer as I watched... and it didn't work... I recommended she avoid computers, and she's now a very happy motivational coach.

> If it is truly de-jure illegal to be poor now, you'd be able to point at a law on the books which says that.

Boise recently had to deal with this.

Passed a law that said it was illegal to sleep on the streets or public property if a shelter bed was available.

Problem? No shelter beds were generally available but two religious shelters said they were "always available", even when they had no actual beds. Ergo, police made arrests because the shelters were available, even if, factually, there wasn't. That the shelters SAID there were was enough for the police to arrest.

Adding to the problem was both of those shelters required both attendance AND participation in multiple religious ceremonies per day as a requisite of you being there, even if there did happen to be a bed.

So now you had a situation where the police were able to arrest homeless for refusing to go to these shelters, which may not have beds available, and that forced religious participation to be there.

That was a law that made it onto the books, until it was rightfully challenged. But the fact it made it to legislation in the first place is problematic.
I'm not familiar enough with rowing volume to comment on that. And I'm not sure how running shoe selection impacts rowing . . . .

The overwhelming majority of runners are running less than 30 miles per week. Competitive amateurs might be doing 40-60. Most would see better than 4% improvements adding 10+ miles to their training volume.

Both Mint and Boost are "MNVOs" but are sub-companies of T-Mobile.

I do agree its a good experience, but they all are from the same corporate tree today. If T-Mobile's main business starts to get into trouble, you can expect a shakeup.
How about we start with 1000 feet away from housing, schools, and businesses?
I think it was after they met for the debate. I don't remember Chomsky calling Foucault a phony. The quote I remember is Chomsky calling him "amoral".

The debate is a fun thing. Some people hear Foucault make no sense, others see him slicing Chomsky up into so many pieces he appears to not even notice.
That's a sweeping generalization and not true for a lot of users. I stay with T-Mobile so that I don't get deprioritized, but also because I get free global roaming, which I use a lot.

And also because I can add tablets and watches for only $10/month extra. Once you start adding secondary devices, the MVNOs get expensive very quickly.

I laughed at this comment

sorry
I made a similar comment already but I kind of agree. I’m not sure if it’s about profit it’s also about legal concerns. I think legally doctors are supposed to keep you alive until they can’t anymore?
The moment a court is asked to make a decision on one of these matters there will then be case-building precedent.

What your comment suggests is that there will _never_ be 'solid precedent' which is an inaccurate interpretation.
> - Why is there an assumption that just after a mass becomes a black hole the matter inside it suddenly compresses further when the actual gravity of the object has only slightly increased?

Yeah, that seems like an important thing to address. Black holes don't even have to be high density, or have much matter in the center at the time of formation. If you arrange enough big chunks of metal into a spherical-shell constellation, then drop them all toward their mutual center, they can reach the threshold to become a black hole before they even start colliding. What happens around that time, and what specifically does "singularity" mean (because I see people using it in very different ways).

> - Is there a maximum density of matter in the universe and if the black hole even reaches that?

> - Wouldn't you need that number to be infinite if the black hole itself is infinitely small?

Black holes are the benchmark for maximum density. The event horizon is always exactly at the limit. By "black hole itself" do you mean something other than the event horizon?

But that maximum density depends on size, smaller things can be denser and bigger things have to be less dense.
How are real businesses selling bowls with leaded glaze and no warning? Not referring to a farmer's market but something like West Elm. If they're getting away with this, then yeah, the law is broken. If Daiso is just over-using the label, maybe they shouldn't do that if they want to sell bowls.
I would be surprised if there exists a country where people never die like this. You would have to euthanize every single person who died of a long list of natural causes.
There’s a really fun YouTube series where a virtually no name ex-NBA player challenges top amateurs to 1 on 1. It’s not even close. Brian Scalabrine is his name and his famous quote is “I’m way closer to Lebron than you are to me.”

My read was different. That this is an IDE with plugins and whatnot, and they have a similarly named but entirely different offering:

“Note that Eclipse Theia IDE is a separate component from the overall Theia project's related Eclipse Theia Platform, used to build IDEs and tools based on modern web technologies.”

No idea why they didn’t brand them differently. The base is different (built more on VSCode platforms and not Theia the platform), unlike old Eclipse that had a split between the base and the IDE built from that base. I think that is very confusing.
Slightly tangential, but I believe this article segues into a discussion about assisted suicide or euthanasia at the end of life.

My entire family has been suffering over the past 18 months watching my 88-year-old grandmother slowly pass away from age-related deterioration and AD.

I worked with mice during my PhD training in the US. If a lab was caught with lab mice suffering like my grandmother is without euthanizing them, the lab would be liable to be shut down.

So I ask: why am I forced to sit and watch my grandmother suffer slowly to death? Why can't there be assisted suicide/euthanasia protocols in place to prevent this suffering?
The fundamentalist stance on Schiavo's case (to continue care at all costs) was always interesting/puzzling to me. On some level I would assume that people with a strong belief in the afterlife would be more open to letting people pass from this mortal earth than those of us who don't have strong beliefs about an afterlife... but clearly that wasn't the case :P

> US spends trillions of dollars a year supporting homeless and otherwise disadvantaged people

Horseshit.

It's less than $50B, most of which goes to subsidized housing. The actual amount spent directly on homelessness is likely less than $20B.

> In most cities something like half the homeless refuse free shelter.

I guarantee you there aren't free shelter beds for half the US's homeless population.

These are just talking points.
No, truly, doctors are not legally required to keep people alive against their will. It’s just that you have to have made it clear in advance what kind of life-saving and comfort measures you want. You have to say “yeah actually I don’t want all that.” It’s hard on the doctors to watch people dying painfully with too much life support, too. They know what kind of death they want, and it’s not that. (As the article reflects.)
This is referring to the massive ad campaign they ran where they said they would not do what they're doing now. That's something courts will take into account.
> The concern now, apparently, is that administrations are using agency flexibility to subvert electoral politics.

That's very charitable. A less charitable view might be that their concern is that regulatory bodies and other executive agencies are standing in the way of personal and corporate profits, and that overturning Chevron means that the courts can now cripple the ability for federal agencies to function by overruling the reasonable interpretations of statute those agencies have been operating under all this time and instead limit them to only the most narrow interpretation of the law. Law that has, for decades now, been being written under the assumption that Chevron exists, and not with the expectation that an adversarial judge will try to undermine the intention of the laws being passed.
My assertion is that we don't know whether or not fraudulent votes have changed the outcome of an election, whether coordinated or not. You keep saying it's never happened, without any evidence.
> There is nothing confusing about it at all.

It comes up as an item in our internal corporate audits all the time. The fact that parent and child can have independent access is a surprising one in most mental models and a problem that just doesn't exist in the simpler unix model.

The ability to create permissions for things that don't even exist yet is another surprising thing that catches administrators up. It does not help that the windows GUI tooling is exceptionally inferior compared to the command line tooling.

This is on production servers in sensitive environments. That linux home users chmod 777 is one thing, but I don't see the same types of problems in professional linux environments; granted, you don't see as many comparable linux environments at all. Likewise, explorer makes it easy to just "give permissions to Everyone" and I've seen that just as much in home installations. In any case, these are probably not great comparisons.
I wouldn’t judge myself so hard. You were reacting to what the web was back then. It’s pretty hard, perhaps impossible, to foresee what it would become.

I remember reading “you can go to the Louvre and then the MoMA, all with a click of the mouse”. But taking a plane felt almost as slow and expensive, only way more fun.

I deleted Netscape to claim back the 20MB or so it occupied in my 250MB drive.

I suppose Congress could use its power under Article III’s Exceptions Clause to strip the federal courts (including the Supreme Court) of jurisdiction to hear cases challenging an agency’s adherence to its enabling statute. Courts would still always be able to hear constitutional challenges, of course.
So, I don’t think I’ve seen this language used, but does this basically end the use of “executive orders”? That’s what executive orders were right, advice to agencies on how to interpret laws?

The strange thing there is that for a few decades now federal courts have required a plaintiff to have suffered some sort of injury before they can sue, and the notion that a credible threat is equivalent to such injury seems to overstretch that concept.

How is that anyhow helpful? Jail is much worse for the homeless and it's actually much more expensive to society than providing a home. If the goal is harm reduction, provide them with housing and support. The cruelty of the law is the point.

You've just touched upon why this hasn't worked in the past. With Chevron the interpretation was left up to the agency, and courts never got to decide anything.

Without Chevron, the courts will now be able to do exactly what you're suggesting.

You're _actually_ in favor of disabling Chevron, which the SC just did.
Actually, in Boise, it literally was. If a religious shelter said they had a bed (and one of them said they would "always take someone in", even if they didn't have a bed), it was an arrestable offense to be sleeping on public property.

Ahhh, AirBnB for the homeless, of course. Because when you're profoundly troubled by mental illness, or addiction issues, everyone opens their doors and homes to you.
