As long as both secular and non-secular schools are eligble for vouchers in both law and practice then that is fine. You could imagine a situation where they have vouchers 'available for all' but in practice there is some kind of bureaucracy that only allows vouchers to be eligible for religious schools. If the state prevented religious schools from taking vouchers then arguably that is violation of the separation of church and state because they are punishing religious people.

Sure, but that's why I say

>Living in community can happen by choice, not just by [employer || school] coercion; it just requires that you make that choice.

As other replies have pointed out, the school/work bonds more often than not fade as soon as the coercion is removed. Why is that?

One possible explanation is that those bonds were not genuine or desirable bonds, but were artificial or unwanted-but-required ones. In this case, is it really better to enforce artificial, unwanted constant association?

A different possible explanation might be that the replacement of one enforced -day-to-day coercion with another one leaves no room for the previous-coerced-context's bonds. In that case, is it really better to strangle out all your previous connections by unnecessarily forcing you to inhabit a new space on a constant basis?

This brings up the question again of the false dichotomy between "enforced connections with a single artificially-constructed-and-destroyed community away from home" or else "isolation"; I still think _chosen_ connections with a _multiplicity_ of communities that are _close to home_ is a better option.

I wasn't going to encounter some of my coworkers at the 60-mile-roundtrip job outside of work context _ever_ unless I made a point to suspend my non-work life so that I could go all the way "over there" and away from my family and my local community. Encountering them at the park, or in downtown, and having a casual conversation, or even having them over for dinner -- that sort of thing wasn't going to happen (at the very least, not without a sufficiently-significant amount of planning and commute-time sacrifice as to make it extremely rare).

I recognize that remote work comes with a similarly-high "minimum intentionality requirement" for building connections. I just also recognize, from having worked in the all-too-common situation of "commute to/from the office means driving over an hour each way", that in-office work is not much better than remote work in that regard; it just means that you're spending all your time together in the business-activities rather than in the contexts of what each person actually cares about. When I spend time with friends who live nearby -- like taking a walk with them in the middle of the day, because we're both already close to home -- we're not talking or faux-bonding about the latest deliverable or project, because our relationship isn't defined in those terms, and we're not in an office context that's _framing_ our relationship in those terms.

But the costs that in-office work brings compared to remote work are way higher than the marginal benefit of "now we're in-person more, free to mostly talk about work together while we're in this artificial environment that the company controls, until the company decides to can either of us."
But it also makes us not dependent on a place that China has their literal sights focused on.

A very interesting project. Btw, I could not find a way to delete my account when created. I've also found that the generated report is very generic and quickly goes outside the actual question or specific theme/keywords used.

A final point, the notice states that "The risks associated with this study are minimal. Study data will be stored securely, in compliance with Stanford University standards, minimizing the risk of confidentiality breach." When I use STORM, I can see other people's request. Are they supposed to be confidential?
The cynic in me wonders the extent to which this is a result of people who can get clean (enough to support themselves more than they would otherwise) doing so, and thereby reducing their risk, because the friends/family who tend to at least partly subsidize their lifestyle need to reduce their support as a result of economic conditions.

While not all, likely not even a majority, of people most likely to show up in OD stats are receiving that kind of support the share is likely high enough to be readily visible in statistics were the support to change substantially in quantity or quality.

Uh, that's not how I interpreted their comment. At all.
Since you seem knowledgeable on this topic I'd like to ask - how risky is it to expose a computer on your network to the internet, if you're somewhat tech-savvy but not very familiar with networking? Is it relatively "safe" with modern tools and VMs or do you need to stay on top and (for eg) always ensure you're updating software weekly?

I've thought of setting up and running a server for a long time and finally have a spare laptop so I'm thinking of actually running a NAS at least.

"Our" it ain't ours, that's the whole point of not being communist. So who cares where the products come from
Well actually, Alexander Hamilton is the father of mercantilism. And it's been followed and promulgated by pretty much every country at some point in time.

It's not wrong, it's one strategy given the political goals of a nation. There are other strategies and other goals, like economic liberalism.

Saying a behavior or approach is wrong and/or outdated shows a particular misunderstanding of what policy is for.

What "most" economists believe in the West (and "believe in" is a perfect way to put it, because it's a belief) is economic liberalism. Underlying/embedded in that belief are a number of assumptions, policy goals, and desired outcomes.

For a limited subset of countries on earth that worldview has been incredibly successful. However, for the vast majority of countries on earth economic liberalism has been a failure, and a costly one.

Unfortunately, there aren't many new alternatives out there, and the current system is heavily biased towards economic liberalism.

But it's important to remember that all this is relatively new. The era of modern states is relatively new, and the current postwar order is well, 80 years old or so. The Wealth of Nations was only published in 1776, Report on Manufctures was in 1791, and Das Kapital was in 1867.

How many orders of magnitude of difference?
I saw a similar situation to the headline, where a pregnant woman working for an Indian outsourcer was worked to the point that the stress caused a miscarriage. She was forced to return back to work the same day, directly from the hospital.

The work being done by that team was utterly pointless. It was a software deployment that had failed twice already because they hadn't followed the procedure in the manual, and were trying the same guaranteed-to-fail process a third time just in case it would succeed. They all knew it would fail, but their manager insisted they go through the motions anyway, for 12+ hours a day, 7 days a week. The manager knew it wouldn't work either, but his boss had signed some document that basically said that they "had to" do things this way. His boss had no idea about anything, wasn't there, and didn't care about the technical details to begin with.

It was an incredible farce, with deadly consequences, for no tangible results.

> Selling pagers to Lebanon citizens is legal if I'm not wrong.

This is true. But only the thousands of Hezbollah pagers blew up, right? There are a lot of details needed to see if they knowingly supplied Hezbollah or just sold a big batch to a random customer. I assumed, perhaps falsely, that a 5000 pager order for Lebanon is pretty specific and does anyone really use pagers any more? My thinking was that this is a specific tech used by Hezbollah. Although it is a consumer tech, maybe pagers are super popular in Lebanon. But 3000 people were injured so I thought that the vast majority of these pagers were used exclusively by Hezbollah.

My point is their stuff was already in a war. Israel making them explode doesn’t seem to change that.
"US manufacturing is about to be reinvigorated"

Oh i'm going to be downvoted into oblivion for this one.... but I think this is a win we can give to Trump. It was a hard focus of his, I think he put the right people in place to do it, and I think time is going to prove he was right to do it.

I didn't vote for him in 2016, but I think it's important to acknowledge it.

While the libraries and the documentation for otel are bloated messes, I maintain that any platform that isn’t using some sort of tracing system is practically negligent in their engineering duty. If you’re still out there querying logs with some giant sql statements you’re missing out. The pure wonder of being able to click on an http request and seeing every service it touched, every application log outputted, and every database query it ran, and all the timings of each of those is magical.
For the purpose of searching, wouldn’t it be sufficient to do NFC normalization for text? Could hide that behind a command line flag even…
Yes, and it's not possible to delete the account (or association with).
Yes, that is obviously the case, which is why almost everyone does it.
That's still off.

I take these things a bit personally, because for many years, I sort of owned my job, and the valuations of my home and my job added up to more than 100% of my wealth. Fair enough, having a well-paying job is valuable.

But with the way we usually compute wealth, most wealth is ultimately connected to an organisation skilled people doing well-paying jobs, and the person who has a well-paying job is seldom the person whose wealth is proposed to be taxed. Taking that into considerations makes the proposals look rather… wrong.
I think law and order needs to exist, or enforced rules, but that's not "government intervention".

Raspberry Pis ending up in Russian weapons used in Ukraine is currently an issue actually, which it's illegal to export them to Russia.
For the US, at least, I am forced to confirm that those 5000 raspberry pis aren’t going to a terrorist organization. Isn’t the EU the same way? So it’s not that it’s a military export, but that it’s a sanctioned organization (Iran and Hezbollah).
Proportionality is at the center of defining a war crime.

"The principle of proportionality (Article 51(5) (b) API) states that even if there is a clear military target it is not possible to attack it if the expected harm to civilians, or civilian property, is excessive in relation to the expected military advantage."

https://www.diakonia.se/ihl/resources/international-humanita...

So, the case that Israel has to make here is that the expected millitary advantage from the operation exceeds the collateral damage. The fact that civilians died doesn't automatically make it a war crime from an international law point of view.

Israel has no support outside of hardcore Zionists. I don't know if you've checked out the global reaction to this terrorist act that Israel just pulled, but they just multiplied the intensity of their enemies (i.e. the rest of humanity) 10X.

You are protecting your ego. The modern circus is the algorithmic feed. And we are consuming it more obsessively then any previous form of entertainment.
Next level:

foo -a -b \

| baz -e -f \

...means you can safely (arbitrarily) add more intermediate commands to the pipeline w/o having to worry about modifying the trailing slash (eg: `yyp` won't cause a syntax error).
Well usually what you do here is start randomly sampling.
Considered by who? Dentists, or scientists? Dentists seem to be about 5-10 years behind the research on this topic. I know of a single practice that has started doing oral microbiome testing.

We know that caries are caused by acid eroding the teeth. And we know which bacterial species produce this acid, how quickly they secrete it, and how common they are. The most significant source is Strep. Mutans. Sugar is an input to this process, and Xylitol (a sugar alcohol) can kill this bacteria selectively.

Diet is probably the most significant way to affect gum disease. Gum disease is associated with systemic inflammation and auto-immunity. The same dietary interventions that are used to treat those conditions also treat gum disease.

Thats just not a good analysis.

Blockchain and NTF are and were stupid. A lot of people knew about this and the hype was more of a news hype because we had nothing else to talk about (until ai came).

I have seen so many really good and helpful ai demos/features internally, its impressive.

With AI / ML we are getting self driving cars, robots (talking, listing, walking), agents etc.

LLMs are not crazy good because they can generate stories, they are crazy good because they are a very very good interface to humans.

Facebooks Segment Anything ml model basically solved segmentation problem. Alpha Fold solved protein folding. Nvidias Omniverse with Robots solved the robot motion problem.

AI is not a hype, AI delivers left and right every week there is something really cool new.

Instead of writing uneducated blog posts or just blindly rant about it, at least try to follow up on AI news, you will be amazed how much it solves. And Until we are seeing ANY slow down or ceiling, until then i do believe that this right now is what the iphone was or the internet just crazier.

Its frustrating that people are not even able to understand AI, Blockchain and NFT good enough to be able to separate them. Just because something gets hyped doesn't mean its the same thing as the other thing which got hyped.

And no you were not able to talk to a computer system as fast and good as you are able to do that today with OpenAIs voice input. And no you never had a system which was able to answer that many questions in such a high quality.
Yep. We should be investing our tax dollars in our economy and our people.
I think LLMs have some killer features which solve real problems.

Translation (the problem transformers were invented to solve), Document QA, Embeddings for more semantic search, and unstructured data ingestion are all areas where LLMs excel.

When you have documentation to reference and keep in context, it’s pretty easy to achieve a low hallucination rate.

The hype is around like content creation and AGI, which is a nothingburger.
In R, you can build Single Page Applications with Shiny, created by Posit https://shiny.posit.co/ It is very useful, if you don't know HTML,JS,CSS and want to create an interactive dashboard, showcasing your analysis, models, visualizations, or even to create an internal tool for your organization.

It seems that reactR provides functions for building react components directly from R that can be used in Shiny apps.

I’m exaggerating a little (but not much): the risk with tiktok is that it is brainwashing Americans—particularly young ones—with anti-American sentiment. Not only does that suck for the individual, but diminishes the civil-service talent pool and weakens US institutions.

It’s like the CCP looked at what social media was doing to mental health and cable news to our political discourse and said “I can do something with that, I’ll take the extra large.”
