I see this as a great way of focusing on the process instead of the goal, to have more fun and reduce press! To everyone here who argues for finishing things: You could still use this philosophy to start a project like ”learning how to finish something well” (to make finishing less goal oriented). And, if you have a good sense of what spontaneous projects to start, one day a bunch of your quickly started and disregarded small projects could accidentally turn out to fit well together to create something bigger. Starting many small things can lead to big things too.

You assert that anti-legalization is about revenue. But what about millions of people with health issues caused by weed use/addiction? The ones discussed in the article. Is this all just made up?

My point was simple: millions of people using weed will probably cause greater net harm than a much smaller number of people going to jail. Alcohol is similar: the net harms of alcohol are astronomical. People tend to underestimate net harm when it's diffuse and overestimate it when it's very focused on a few people.

How can you guarantee the build is from the open source code? (i.e. doesn't contain a small patch with hostile behavior)
You know, you're only saying that it's in a manner of speaking anti-rational to deny the existence of a god who is, presumably, supremely rational. It's an amusing observation, but it doesn't follow that it's reasonable to think the being exists just because the being is supposed to be reasonable.

And this argument certainly sounds similar to the "God of the gaps" argument. Instead of "there are things science can't explain" it's more like "the scientific world view doesn't satisfy my gut feeling that things happen for reasons", but that's a similar kind of gap, just a more philosophical one.

One of the GL.iNet travel routers [1] would probably work for you. They run OpenWRT (or a thin veneer around it), so you can SSH in and install packages and whatnot. They explicitly advertise Wireguard-based VPN support.

I swear the modern programmer doesn’t realize how extremely bad Git is. It does do a lot of things better than SVN. But it’s a long, long ways from “good” imho.

I blame GitHub. Git didn’t win because it’s good. Git won because GitHub won. If only HgHub had won instead, alas.

My dream VCS system would have a virtual file system, copy-on-write storage, and a system wide blob cache. The goal being to allow open source repos to commit *ALL* their dependencies, up to and including toolchains in many cases.

> The total society wide harms of legalization are higher than the total society wide harms of criminalization

Can you please elaborate why have you concluded so?

I can see that legal consumption is naturally larger than illegal, as illegality is a deterring factor for some unknown to me fraction (all I know it's a lot more than 0%, but significantly less than 100%) of the population. Without the concrete numbers (how much bigger is legal consumption exactly, what's the probability of adverse side effects like those psychotic episodes, what's the probability of trying even less safe substances - like opioids - if cannabis is illegal vs with access to legal and well-regulated cannabis-only dispensaries, etc etc - lots of factors) it's really hard to me to make any sensible conclusion.

According to the article, it estimates 18*3=54M users, out of which 3M (about 5.6%) have a use disorder (which, as I get it, is effectively a term for addiction). It is, however, unknown, how many of those actually exhibit any severe side effects, how many of those would be addicted either way (just illegally) and so on.

E.g. if we have to weighting legalization with tax-funded information and rehabilitation/anti-addiction support services for people who are affected, vs full prohibition or medical-only cannabis - it's really not clear what's the best strategy (in terms of least adverse effects on the society in general).
Slightly off topic: I'm a fan of solutions like https://webwormhole.io/ - which lets you send the file directly from one computer to the other via webrtc instead of uploading to a middleman server... at the expense of not being able to generate a link that you can send to someone else and forget about.

>Sometimes its a good thing that tools slow you down.

This has been a major learning in devops too. Sometimes you want the tool to go slow, at least to start, to give a chance to Ctrl-C when you realize you've made a mistake. A bad deploy that gets replicated to 10% of your fleet could be far better than one that goes to 100%.
Because it’s not a big deal and people are looking for something to be mad about.

They changed the rules for public accounts, so that if you block somebody they can still see your posts just not interact with them. That’s no different than somebody being able to create a second account to get past your block anyway.
As the saying goes, you pay a consultant to look at your watch and tell you what time it is.

I don't see it catching on that this is a "supply-chain attack" (from the article, but what came to mind when you said that it seems pretty damning). It isn't an attack because it's done deliberately by the owner (yes, owner) of the platform users are downloading from and not some upstream platform. The part of the chain involved is only one level deep. Maybe it's time to stop hyping up the term "software supply chain" because it gives me You Wouldn't Download a Car vibes.

Judged on its merits and not an exaggeration, I predict that the court of public opinion is going to go the same way as the court of law – a light pushback.

Which kinda makes sense. The work of an SWE at big tech can bring in a ton of cash due to (almost) infinite scaling of software and (almost) zero marginal cost.

But as an SWE at a manufacturing company, how much can your work increase their revenue/profit? The bulk of their income is still coming from the widget/commodity they are producing.

> Not sure how exactly React became so standard, but I'd assume it was a combination of the backing of Facebook and the frustration with performance and developer UX of Angular, which was most popular at that time.

I believe React became so standard because it provides the right abstraction for managing GUIs expressed as a tree of compostable UI components and controls that are automatically updated when it's underlying view model is updated. It's approach is so well-suited to the problem domain.

I frankly do not understand why Next.js managed to get any traction at all. I dare say that it was kind of forced upon the whole world with create-react-app dropping out of favour and newbies looking to quickly create barebones React projects.

If that were the case here, there wouldn't be a government probe, right? It would be a normal "multi car pileup with a fatality" and added to statistics.

With the strong incentive on the part of both the driver and Tesla to lie about this, there should strong regulations around event data recorders [1] for self driving systems, and huge penalties for violating those. A search across that site doesn't return a hit for the word "retention" but it's gotta be expressed in some way there.

Is there a proposed mechanism by which non-ionizing radiation is said to be harmful? I am willing to believe it could be (I would guess at certain wavelengths more than others if so), but absent any statistical evidence of such an effect and without a testable mechanism of action it is just as unreasonable to believe the contrary assertion. I haven't heard of either, so I default to the position of if this was such a significant problem we would be able to prove it by now. Unless or until that happens it's not something we need to worry about. But absolutely keep doing research.

So one thing a person could do would be to identify radio emitters and compare the rates of, say, cancer among people living within a certain radius. Even if the planet is awash in electromagnetic radiation the intensity drops off significantly according to the distance to the emitter. Large emitters are well-documented so it shouldn't be hard to find this information.
It’s not solely management or shareholders. If you have worked for Boeing or with them as a contractor or supplier, you have probably experienced some of the cultural issues with their workforce. A lot of the companies biggest failures have a mix of people who caused them. Remember, the door plug was meant to be secured in final assembly by an IAM worker. And even if you go back to the two 737 Max hull losses, the design of it and choices like having no redundancy on a cheap sensor were done by SPEEA workers (the union for technical staff). Boeing is also failing due to the low quality workers it has, their demands, and the inability to freely replace them. It’s not just bad executives.
This explicitly doesn't answer your question as written, but just in case it's relevant to you anyway: you can run something like pfSense in a VM on a server or really any machine you have available on the network where you want an exit node. At least on Linux, the software networking support is good enough to make such a VM appear as just another machine on the network the VM host is connected to.

My primary home router is a pfSense VM set up as a Wireguard peer for tunneling in from various other devices and locations, and I'm very happy with it.

What would the effect be? How would it show up? What mechanism can explain radio waves affecting brain structures? What tissue can receive radio waves? What frequency are we even talking about?

Anyway, the way to start with your hypothesis is really simple. Relate the amount of relevant electromagnetic energy in the environment to whatever symptom you think it causes and measure the population for that symptom. Get people who exhibit the symptoms to places where that energy is absent (removed from society, in a Faraday cage, whatever). Check if the symptoms disappear. It doesn't have to disappear completely, just gradually. If you believe that even the slightest amount of EM radiation will still have an effect, so a test free of it is practically impossible, I have a surprise for you.
People in this thread have said that harms caused by criminalization exceed harms caused by legalization. I think that's wrong.

My sense is that people have a cognitive bias here. Diffuse harms are hard to measure and usually underestimated. Whereas larger harms focused on a small number of people are very noticeable, draw a lot more sympathy, and are easier to measure. But the diffuse harms generally end up being greater in sum.

Exactly. And the relationship seems to be that if your income goes up 1%, your available wealth at a point in crisis goes up 2.8%.

However your willingness to spend at the moment of crisis is dictated by your problem and available wealth. And now how that money is going to be split among different parties.

The contract is set up in such a way that there was initially some development money (that wasn't actually enough to cover development), but the bulk of the payments in the contract come from flying the actual operational missions, which Boeing is yet to fly any of.

The neat part from government perspective is that it doesn't matter how much Boeing has already lost on the contract, whether it makes sense for them to go on depends strictly on whether they believe they can fly the remaining contracted-for flights for less than the payouts. And this is probably still true. Yes, they will lose money overall on the contract, but they will lose less money if they complete it.

The idea that it is "irresponsible" to deploy it in its current state seems conclusively disproven.

Do you call it immunity when there's simply no mechanism for interaction?

Either way, we evolved on a planet orbiting a giant fusion reactor spitting out EMF. The ones that are close to the limits we call "ionizing" are widely used by life, because evolution was able to take advantage of interactions between chemistry and physics. The frequencies far away from that line simply aren't used by life because there's no viable mechanism for chemistry to interact with them. That's the same reason RF is considered harmless.
