> The restricted process around buying pseudoephedrine is imposed by state governments and not the federal government. [...] FDA doesn't have the legal authority to put medications "behind the counter" like you would see in Europe or Canada.

Someone should tell the FDA, because they seem to think that the “locked cabinet or behind the counter” rule, the per person per month quantitative limit, the photo ID requirement, and the requirement for retailers to track personal information of buyers are all federal rules either directly in or imposed by the FDA under the authority of the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005.

Sure, but iOS has to listen for them and do... something... when they see a "Find my iPhone" beacon.

TBH I think it's very unlikely, but it's entirely possible they could add a flag to those beacon messages suggesting other iOS devices reboot.

On the other hand, I can easily see it being an honest bug where being off a cellular network corrupts the beacon message somehow, and reading the corrupt messages triggers iOS to reboot.

Who knows
Despite the criticism of the two party system, I nevertheless wonder whether or not the American public actually wants to have third parties. Even in states that are solidly red or blue, third parties never manage to gain a substantial (beyond 3-5%) of the vote. I would think that in a solidly blue state, the greens (or any on-the-left third party) would see a much better showing. Same for libertarians in red states. I imagine that the whole spoiler vote phenomenon would not be an issue in these states’ races.

I’m curious about what other people think of this. I was once of the opinion that ranked choice voting (in the states that passed this reform) would lead to a renaissance in the viability of third parties there, but it hasn’t come to fruition. It led me to think that many Americans are actually content with having two parties.
>nepotism is a natural mammalian instinct, it propels us to take care of our children

Plenty of primates and human groups have shared child rearing in a non-familial way. Tribes were not aligned exclusively on family lines, and "it takes a village" was a literal statement.

Humans have an instinct to take care of babies, not just our own progeny. Our pets literally evolved to take advantage of that. A cat is not at all your genetic family member, and yet will still trigger child rearing instincts in tons of people.

This idea that we are only programmed to take care of direct genetic relatives is incorrect and a societal choice, not a scientific one.

Identifying a problem and blame are different things. The first facilitates problem solving, the second interferes with it. Look up blame-free post-mortems of problems in the IT world, for example.

Blaming is similar to a victim perspective, IMHO: 'I'm innocent (most important) and injured; the other person is guilty; therefore I can take out my frustration, etc. on them - I can do to them whatever I want.' It often is more about satisfying anger, protection from shame and other consequences, and is a distraction from problem solving. And those blamed, as here on HN, are often the people who are most socially acceptable to blame - whoever is unpopular and vulnerable in the current crowd.

In this case, people driving cars and riding bicycles are in a system that yields problematic results. How can we improve that system? Talking about blame

One thing that I personally found interesting with Mentara is how it catches when I’m being too vague. For example, in one session, it flagged phrases like ‘targeting growth’ and suggested I use actual numbers or goals instead. It even gave tips to make my competitive edge clearer by swapping out general claims for concrete examples. I loved that it didn’t just tell me to ‘be clearer’ but actually showed how to improve. Really makes you rethink how you’re pitching your story.
> Get rid of libc and you gain the ability to have zero global state in exchange.

No you don't, you still have the global state the kernel is maintaining on your behalf. Open FDs, memory mappings, process & thread scheduling states, limits, the command line arguments, environment variables, etc... There's a shitload of global state in /proc/self/

Also the external connections to the process (eg, stdin/out/err) are still inherently global, regardless of however your runtime is pretending to treat them.

And it's not like you even managed to reduce duplicated state since every memory allocator is going to still track what regions it received from the kernel and recycle those.

Our problem isn't that there's a lack of ideas on how to reform. It's that said reform requires amending the constitution, which in US is contingent on 3/4 of states (specifically, their legislatures) ratifying the amendment. It is a very high bar in general, but is especially hard to break through when what you propose is virtually certain to change the balance of political power in the country.

Yes, it's easier to show with an example.

- California has 38,940,231 inhabitants and 54 electors. That means 1 elector every 721,115 inhabitants
- Oklahoma has 4,053,824 inhabitants and 7 electors, so 1 elector every 579,117 people.

James Madison wrote: There was one difficulty however of a serious nature attending an immediate choice by the people. The right of suffrage was much more diffusive in the Northern than the Southern States; and the latter could have no influence in the election on the score of the Negroes. The substitution of electors obviated this difficulty and seemed on the whole to be liable to fewest objections.

They have been trying to reform the electoral college for as long as there has been an electoral college, and all attempts have foundered for the simple reason that those that benefit from the power it gives them will block attempts at reform.

In any event, in this election the point is moot.

You are making the claim, you should be able to back the claim up. You're actually writing very many words to avoid a direct explanation, which is even more confusing.
There's no historical justification for that assertion as far as I'm aware. If you know of one, I'd love to see the reference.

Preventing the tyranny of the majority is what the separation of powers to executive (President), judiciary (Supreme Court), and legislative (Senate and House) was set up for.

Preventing domination of the small states by the large states was why the Senate and House were structured as they are.

Because functional programming isn't infinitely good, such that all need to consider costs is forever and totally erased.

The costs and benefits of a particular programming style must be evaluated in the context of the language under examination. You can't take the benefits of functional programming in Haskell and blindly copy them into the benefits column of your Go analysis. You must actually do the analysis in the target language.

And once you do that, you will discover the cost/benefits of doing what most people call "functional programming" in Go is not very appealing. The costs magnify substantially and the benefits diminish greatly.

So... why would one do it?

(I qualify "what most people call functional programming" because my considered opinion is that "map/reduce/filter" isn't the interesting aspect of functional programming, but I'm still working on my guide on how to correctly bring the real lessons of functional programming back into imperative languages like Go, and this comment box is not enough to drop it all here.)
ADHD Productivity Report 2024 – Personal (futile) journey of (no) improvement
I will add that I also recently tried:

- Planny - interesting but has its own tasks, so not really beneficial for me.

- Arcush - Again, its own rather rudimentary tasks.

- PolyPlan - Todoist, Apple Calendar and reminders, but it either didn’t work, then worked and broke things, and then I saw no benefit in it.

- Zesfy - My god, the UI is not friendly whatsoever. Also, again, its own tasks.

- FlowSavvy - No, I don’t want my tasks to be saved as events.

- LifeStack - Interesting concept, but I can’t connect it to my calendar.

I’m probably missing some others, because I got tired of documenting myself being disappointed .

My problem with it is when people do these things but then maintain they're not directly, and tangibly, economically harming a lower wage person. You are, there's no way around it. It's perfectly fine to be okay with that outcome. IMO, it's not fine to pretend that outcome doesn't exist.

Security has no finish line, unfortunately. But here are a few security-related things Sequoia has that Mac OS X 10.0 did not:

A firewall. VPN support. FileVault and FileVault 2. Secure Empty Trash. Increasingly-secure sandboxing. Library randomization. Address Space Layout Randomization. XProtect. Increasingly-secure versions of Gatekeeper. Increasingly-secure memory management. SIP. Kernel exploit mitigations. New update mechanisms for security patches. APFS and its associated security improvements. Notarization. Read-only system volume. Separation of user data and system files. Activation Lock. Improved system logging and auditing. Signed System Volume. Private Relay. Lockdown Mode. Visual indicators of mic/camera/location use. DriverKit to replace the use of kexts. Secure Enclave for hardware-based root of trust and secrets management.

I'm just someone who pays attention. I imagine actual security experts could list 20+ other improvements off the top of their head.

As a layman I'm kind of baffled by the enduring pop-sci interest in mitochondria.

To me the far more interesting organelle is the ribosome. This elegant self-replicating machine that is highly conserved across lifeforms is fascinating and much closer to the origin of life than mitochondria.

How did ribosomes evolve? Are the ribosomes that we see in modern organisms the first design that did evolve? Why are they highly conserved?

Are ribosomes alive as well?

I miss those days when you could email someone serendipitously and expect a response. Now its all filled with spam and nobody responds to anything
this is the first ive heard of mitochondria replicating separately and distinctly from the host cell, how fascinating!

Are we saying that mitochondria have their own life cycle inside of a cell? living/dying/replicating in the span of the "life" of a single host cell? When a host cell reproduces, how does the mitochondria get produced in the new cell to get things started?

Cant wait to research this later.

> Teaching your skills and strengths to your kid and eventually giving them or helping them [...] get a job they're qualified for is good.

Indeed. If some people are claiming that somehow giving your own child, uh, what shall I say, priority (?) and your full attention, teaching them skills and transmitting wisdom, and getting them opportunities is somehow bad, then sorry, but that's shockingly stupid, evil, and misanthropic. Doing these things basically describes what is more or less a core duty of parenthood. A parent has the obligation to prioritize his own children. The idea that such generational advantage is nepotism screams of envy. Inequality of opportunity is not unfair or wrong. Indeed, one of the purposes of meritocracy is to become better off so that you can give your own kids a better start than you had. It's wonderful to be able to give your kids opportunities that you have access to.

I think people are failing to distinguish two things, namely, prioritizing your own kin on the one hand, and on the other, prioritizing kinship favors at the gross expense of the common good. (At least that's the most charitable interpretation. The less charitable one is that the have-nots are just envious and feel entitled. There is no point in discussing anything with such twisted people.)

If a baker wants to hire his son, that's perfectly fine and completely his business. He doesn't have to open up the pool to check off some ridiculous meritocracy checkbox. It's his bakery. Of course, if he puts his son in a position of authority that he is grossly unsuited for, well, then he imperils his own business. Oh, well.

In a larger organization that's private, there is nothing wrong with hiring your own kid, either. Putting him in a position that he is completely unsuited for threatens the company, of course, and in that sense is simply stupid. It can also be argued that the company is harming the common good of the company. Private ownership doesn't mean you don't have certain moral obligations toward your employees. Good leadership is one such obligation, and putting an incompetent child in a position that harms the company is a failure of leadership.
I think it's fine in a true "family business" e.g. you wholly own a hardware store or a restaurant and you have your family working there and eventually you hand it off to your children (assuming they want it).

In large public companies or institutions that have shareholders or state owners then it's unfair for an executive or senior administrator to carve out a job for a family member. He's giving them something he doesn't own, unlike in the family business example.

I can't find a table for this election, but for 2020, the most Republican state was Wyoming, with 27% (73k) still voting for Biden. Wyoming still got to ignore those 73k voters because the rule says the winner of the state takes it all.

Similarly in the other direction: aside from DC, the most Democratic state was Vermont, which ignored its 31% of voters choosing Trump.

Now consider that these are the most extreme states, and by definition, all other states ignored larger proportion of voters through winner-takes-all. Arizona had 49.36% D vs 49.06% R. Did the republican vote matter? Barely 10k more votes and the whole state decides all of its 11 votes are for Biden.

Yet somehow, no riots, no overthrowing state governments. (Yes yes we eventually had riots but that's a different issue - they were totally okay with the rules, they just didn't like the results.)

Popular vote is basically "Our state decided to choose what the majority of Americans want. The people have spoken, and chose candidate X. We're now honoring the decision." There's no reason why it should fall apart any more than the electoral college should.

There is no evidence[1][2][3] of any meaningful amount of voter fraud in any modern US election.

contrary to what you say, and in practice if you look at the history of tax cuts, you will see that cuts are balanced by a history of tax increases, and progressive tax increases require regressive tax cuts to balance the accounts, it's simple arithmetic.

but don't lose sight of the fact that with or without the cuts, the rich pay most of the taxes

In 2021, the top 50% of earners contributed 97.7% of federal income tax revenue. The top 5% of earners — people with incomes $252,840 and above — collectively paid over $1.4 trillion in income taxes, or about 66% of the national total.
