I think part of the problem at hand is when laws written poorly can be enforced in ways that don't align with the meaning behind the original laws.

The solution really is simple - write clearly defined and contained laws or don't write any at all. Most people wouldn't be comfortable with that, though, and in a world where news stories and political debates are forgotten in a matter of weeks people won't find it acceptable if legislators spend months or years writing laws that are easy to understand and don't come with a mountain of edge cases and loopholes.

I think the EU is affected as well by this. If there was any foreign region that needs access to the police services of the UK, I would bet the neighboring EU countries would be at the top of the list.
How about both? LEO satellite internet service providers aren’t super reliable yet. Unless there is a Carrington Event, hopefully local and global service outages will be weakly correlated between the two networks.

Rather than disregarding the concern, how would you propose the overreach should be handled? And is it possible to handle the overreach before it harms citizens caught in the middle, or can it only be dealt with after innocent people are on the wrong end of the overreach?
Originally I had mentioned that but I think the real driver is the number of lawsuits, do you know if those declined after those legislative fixes? I haven't been able to find any up to date statistics to show that lawsuits are in line with the rest of the country now.
I appreciate you listing some of the complexities and issues of human trials. I learned some new information and perspectives that I have not considered before.

However, I am not entirely convinced such trials could still not be efficiently and ethically conducted in some way.

If I can have little "Organ Donor" checkbox on my license, then I do not see why I could not have a little "Alzheimer's Experiment Donor" checkbox either. I'm not saying it would be easy to conduct, and obviously there would have to be more stipulations than I have mentioned.

Alzheimer's is an ultimately fatal disease and ain't a pretty way to go out. What do these sufferers have to lose? You can't kill a deadman.

One idea is to start it as a skunkworks project, with a very experienced and skilled person starting solo.

With the express understanding that, if this is successful, you'd expect them to ultimately lead it (head of engineering, R&D, CTO, or whatever fits).

Greenfield development is appealing, and the big growth potential adds incentive to do that greenfield in a way that's aligned with the goals of the company.

Don't make it super-lucrative initially, to help weed out the serial job-hoppers and the transactional hours-billers who aren't as invested in the long-term success.

On your end, you only need buy-in that, if this succeeds, then company will want to follow through.

With that understanding, it's only a single hire to justify.

If, when you review every 3 months, it's not looking like it will work out, start over with a new champion. Your only lead time is to find one candidate who you're willing to give a shot at it.

It's their responsibility to make the skunkworks so successful that the company is confident in taking the next steps of greater investment.

A complementary possibility to keep in mind is that, if you really execute well on this system, maybe you could spin it off into a subsidiary that provides IT solutions to other companies in your field. (Especially since your own purchasing experience sounds like there's market opportunity.)

Elias Canetti is best known for “Crowds and Power”, which is best known as the inspiration of the poem “On Reading ‘Crowds and Power’” by Geoffrey Hill.

Canetti had only written that one book when he got the Nobel Prize, and was mostly unknown.

It’s hard to imagine the Nobel Committee elevating an obscure journalist, giving him the highest honor for a writer, and then him returning to perpetual obscurity.

If it was in a fictional book, it would be dismissed as unrealistic.
> The first time you build a physical rocket and test sending it up, it's almost certain to fail.

That's not true. Many launch vehicles have succeeded on their first flight:

Titan II: Apr 8, 1964 (Gemini 1)

Saturn I (Block 1): Oct 27, 1961 (SA-1; only 1st stage active, 2nd and 3rd stage were present but disabled)

Saturn I (Block 2): Jan 29, 1964 (SA-2; only 1st and 2nd stage active; 3rd stage was present but disabled)

Saturn IB: Feb 26, 1966 (AS-201; first Saturn 1 flight with all 3 stages active)

Saturn V: Nov 9, 1967 (Apollo 4)

Space Shuttle: Apr 12, 1981 (STS-1, Columbia)

Atlas V: Aug 21, 2002

Falcon 9: Jun 4, 2010 (Dragon Spacecraft Qualification Unit test; the first stage disintegrated on re-entry, but that's irrelevant to success of the payload)

Falcon Heavy: Feb 6, 2018 (test flight; center core recovery failed, although again that arguably doesn't count)

Vulcan Centaur: Jan 8, 2024 (Peregrine lunar lander; the lander failed, but for reasons unrelated to the launch vehicle)

Indeed, I'd even say the norm is for success on first flight. And even when they do fail, most of the time it is a partial failure not a complete RUD – e.g. Delta IV Heavy's first flight reached orbit, but a lower orbit than planned; Ariane 6 reached the desired orbit, but the second stage failed to relight a second time for its deorbit burn.

What SpaceX has been doing with Starship is very novel – deliberately flying very early in development, when failure is more likely than success. This is different from traditional launch vehicle design process, in which you spend years doing extensive on-the-ground analysis, simulation and component testing, resulting in a high probability of success on the very first flight.

I think a lot of people are being misled into thinking SpaceX's way of doing things is the industry norm, when it isn't. Conversely, many other people misunderstand that SpaceX is intentionally doing something different, and are judging Starship's (expected) failures by the standards of earlier programs in which they aren't expected (failure after years of exhaustive on-the-ground development is a sign either of incompetence or really bad luck).
No, it really shouldn't. If I acquire a drug company that has, say, 100 patents on a suite of drugs for $1B (just using nice round numbers), I don't get to say "I spent $1B on "R&D" for 1 drug" as a sunk cost.

R&D is a sunk cost. Presumably acquiring an active company with a portfolio is an investment.

If you’re talking about connecting to Kubernetes and create resources programmatically, Pulumi allows you to interface with it from all the languages they support(js, ts, go, c#, python) including wrapping up Helm charts and inject secrets( my personal favorite).

If you want to build your own Kubernetes Custom Resources and Controllers, Go lang works pretty well for that.

This is deluded. "Capitalism" is not "structured" in this way at all. This is a failure of regulation, and it's extremely easy to see why: because competent regulators would take anticompetitive action against large monopolies like Google and Meta, as well as enacting laws to prevent undesirable things like personal data being sold.

> The perverse incentives of capitalism will never create good social change

...and you just outed yourself as being extremely ignorant of basically all history, as the vast majority of socially beneficial inventions and rights of all time have come from capitalist countries.

You can certainly do that, sure, but any Cortex-M MCU can do that, and plenty of others have hardware AES acceleration that would make the process much less asinine.

Also, 520K of RAM wouldn't be enough to fit a the whole application + working memory for any ARM embedded firmware I've worked on in the last 5 years.

Representatives aren't emotionless puppets that respond to money. They're people, and they can be good or bad. In this case, they're bad, and they're the ones to blame, because they're responsible for protecting consumers from bad companies.

> that too is another avenue of ensuring maximum profit

This is also insanely deluded and ignorant of reality. Every communist country in existence has power deals between bureaucrats in charge of the state, and bureaucrats in charge of producing things. This is a result of human nature, and capitalism doesn't come into it at all.
I read House of Leaves last year and it was interesting. It was a good story and I enjoyed following footnotes to footnotes and tracing them back and turning the book and figuring out the hidden message.

I have S. I'm waiting to read it since there isn't a whole lot of ergodic stuff. I'm excited.

I should have bought The Unfortunates when it was available on Amazon, but it hasn't been available for some time. $50 for a used copy on Ebay seems a bit much.

Infinite Jest was basically ergodic with all the end notes flipping back and forth, plus the vocabulary.

Something Happened also requires a bit of traversal with long and sometimes nested parentheticals. I remember coming to an closing parentheses one day when I had read the opening parenthesis the previous day. I spent 10 minutes scanning backwards to find the matching parentheses to figure out the beginning of the sentence was that the parenthetical was in.
The problem isn’t the absolute number of humans. The real issue is the dependency ratio.
The one paragraph that isn't a gratuitous insult (the one ending "... no way of knowing which is which") would probably be fine on it's own.
I'm aware that 'pixel perfect' doesn't strictly mean 'totally fixed layout'. That's not really relevant here.

You can't have, for instance, consistent alignments down to the pixel level, on systems with arbitrary DPI emulation, e.g., when you set DPI manually to something other than 96 in Xorg. This is where the usual caveats for 'fractional scaling' come in (because you have to render at a higher resolution and then scale it down), why such scaling often results in blurry text, why HiDPI displays are required for the normal scaling on macOS, etc. Such changes come in part in pursuit of enabling 'pixel perfect design' on the desktop, and they suck.

Commenters on this site will frequently point out things that are apparently misaligned by a single pixel. What is their complaint, if not that the UI element in question fails to be pixel perfect?

Whether the System Preferences pane must have a fixed size in order to achieve 'pixel perfection' is perhaps debatable. That such inflexibility makes pixel alignment easier is obvious. You think Apple have some other, better reason for System Settings being completely unresizable? What is it?
If you know IRC well enough to want to mandate it for your company, you can probably set the server up in an hour or three. You can then install https://thelounge.chat/ and have your employees log into that for browser and mobile apps vs. native IRC clients.

I wonder what other uses people will find for it. It's one-way data transfer, I wonder if it could be hooked up to a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 peripheral, or an ethernet PHY, or something else.
Since the original citation was for a Subaru, it made me wonder how Subaru's X-Mode actually works. It says, among other things:

X-MODE in Subaru vehicles is specifically engineered to push through tough conditions like snow and mud. By adjusting the throttle response and controlling the transmission, it ensures that power is distributed effectively to the wheels, reducing slip and enhancing grip.

Writing textmate grammars for VSCode extensions. I took over as the lead maintainer of the Godot engine VSCode extension, and one of the first things I worked on was adding syntax highlighting support for Godot 4's improvements to GDScript.

Textmate grammars are basically hundreds of nested regex snippets that recursively apply tags to regions of text. This is made worse by the fact that the grammar is written in JSON, so any escapes need to be double escaped, which means you can't easily copy your regex into something like regex101. You sort of just have to suffer until you get good at it.
The “average” SoC or the high end ones in flagships? Don’t be surprised at how much Qualcomm charges for their flagship stuff. Even if Qualcomm is a node behind, they also need their “margin” for making the thing. Apple pays a big design team, but they don’t pay the additional margin on the SoC… just whatever TSMC charges. Remember, Qualcomm has to pay TSMC too.
Then what are you worried about? Embrace the change and live a full life. You have nothing to lose, the world around you will change regardless, and we all die eventually.

The fertility rate has collapsed even in Mexico City, for example.

> In Mexico City, one of the world’s most populous metropolises, babies are becoming a rarity.

> Official figures show that the average number of children expected to be born to a woman over her lifetime — the fertility rate — has collapsed to 0.96, from 1.34, in only five years. That fall matches an astonishing decline on a national and regional level: Latin America’s aging, slow-growing population is now similar to those in Europe and North America.

There are plenty of projects smaller than the Linux kernel that have developed and employed DSLs (to varying degrees of success, I'll grant). I wonder, are there any languages out there designed specifically for kernel programming?

Given the number of preprocessor hacks used in the kernel, and the amount of GCC-specific behavior that the codebase depends on, it seems like they are already halfway there.
Stop wasting time, take advantage of it from now, let's build
I want to start my community on social media, but I do not know how, which would be the best for it?

I've been seeing that social is a great resource if you know how to use it, I want to be someone who creates valuable information, and I do not want to continue wasting my time by just scrolling.

Right now I am 27yo, and comparing myself with other people with the same age, I see that they have had more progress than I have until today. I do not want to waste more time, I want to take advantage of my time from now on because, I want to be a person of inspiration, who helps others through my knowledge and the products I can build as a software developer.

In conclusion, I want to be (I will be) a person who will be successful, but right now I do not have a clear path on how to start, any recommendations?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks, I learned a few things there!
How do you even get this stuff?
Just like Bangladesh, right?
They've done that because other readings require some pretty significant twists and turns to get there. Some are more reasonable than others, but take "guns" out of the equation and the individual right becomes obvious. Consider the following text:

"A well educated electorate, being necessary to the proper functioning of a democratic state, the right of the people to keep and read books, shall not be infringed."

A reading of the 2nd amendment that doesn't see it as an individual right means we must read the forgoing as protecting the right to keep and read books only for the class of people that are eligible to vote, and only in the service of educating them. And realistically, if you put that text on a multiple choice SAT with the question "Who has the right to keep and read books?" I don't think you're going to get many people answering "only people eligible to vote".

Beyond that, to read the 2nd amendment as not protecting an individual right would also require an interpretation of a right of "the people" to mean something other than every other reading of "the people" throughout the rest of the document:

* The right of "the people" to peaceably assemble as outlined in the first amendment is not limited to members of religious orders or members of "the press".

* The right of "the people" to be "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects" is certainly not limited to some government defined collection of people who only have that right while they are collectively acting.

* The "person" whose rights are protected by the fifth amendment has been time and again ruled to be an individual.

* The tenth amendment clearly distinguishes between the federal government, the states and "the people". If "the people" are supposed to be the militia, how then are they distinct from the federal government or the state?

* The fourteenth amendment refers to "persons" and their privileges, immunities, life, liberties and property. But how could the state infringe on the rights of those people if the people are the militia and the militia is an arm of the state?

It seems strange that in a collection of amendments specifically in place to outline some hard limits on government power and particularly with respect to individuals under that government, that one and only one of those limits was to restrict the government from limiting another arm of the government, but in terms that referred to individuals in every other case it was used.
Although I rarely donate to highly visible projects, this one is one I'll explicitly avoid given the power tripping board.
I don't think so sadly, even an iron willed CTO will have to risk a lot of c-level trust to justify rewriting something "that works" (at first glance).
You're right and I agree with what you're saying here.
Layoffs are piling up, but the stock market went up on better than expected unemployment claims today.

I wonder how many employees for these mega corps even qualify for unemployment after a layoff? I figure most get severance, and long term employees possibly have healthy investments earning dividends.

> in the US it is commonplace for a bar to serve only alcohol and no food

Depends on the state; in mine, a bar can sell beer without a liquor license, but getting a liquor license (required not only for booze but for wine as well) involves jumping through a lot of hoops, one of which is that no more than X% of your sales by dollar amount can come from alcohol. There are no bars that are just bars, unless they only serve beer.

A practical side effect is that lunches are very competitively priced in restaurants that have busy bars, because they take the hit at lunch in order to allow wine/liquor sales.
And innocent people that get harmed by non action are irrelevant? Laws can and will always be abused but if they are about online discourse the only possibility seems to be that there will be nothing but abuse. As long as you are in a country with an intact democracy and separation of power you'll be fine and if not vote against it.

Why would the average distance a neutron has to travel to strike a nucleus increase?

I suppose it does eventually, as the number of undecayed nuclei falls, but that wouldn’t be a significant effect until the criticality reaction had very significantly progressed. In other words the reaction can’t go on forever.
This is the worst part about a weekly reminder. It's highly inconvenient to be in the middle of a zoom meeting, ready to start my presentation, and then apologize to everyone because Apple decided it's time to ask for permission again
Yeah, that's a cop out no law will ever be satisfactory initially with your requirements. Every constitution gets amendments and the same can go for a law like we are discussing now. That the only conclusion is "do nothing at all" is mind boggling.
