Southern Bhutan’s Lhotshampa people, who were 100,000 mostly Hindu ethnic minority were cleansed under the “One Nation, One People” policy aimed at forced ethnic, cultural, and religious cohesion. They now live as refugees in Nepal.

Behind Bhutan's Shangrila facade is a discriminatory policies favoring Buddhists & Drukpa culture remain in place as do discriminatory citizenship laws and restrictions on civil, religious and linguistic rights.

Alas, as I am not in the EU, my cell phone is not covered by the regulations of the GDPR.

That being said, I do continually have to click through ridiculous GDPR cookie announcements, as I generally browse incognito, and thus am subject to cookie warnings on every web site every time. "Thanks, EU. Somehow, because I have cookies disabled, I get every cookie warning imaginable. Good job, idiots."
I had this experience when shopping for a highly rated doctor. Luckily I was able to get in on a great doctor after a few weeks of casually calling around, and now can get appointments no problem.

When I was younger on crap insurance, I was able to quickly find one by having no standards other than "be a medical physician". And the doctor I went to was definitely lower rung.
That’s an article about Peloton’s IPO.
Same, had to call around a lot to find primary care, and was being given multi-month waitlist estimates for seeing an ENT specialist. I've had more luck recently as I was able to get into see an ENT in less than 30 days. It's also crazy how much everyone tries to upsell you. It' hard to tell what tests or procedures I really need.
Question, and it's completely innocent: are you good at what you do? I found that once I became really competent in may areas (SRE, Python/Golang, architecture) it was just a matter of finding the right company to work for. I had many of the same problems and frustrations when I did work I was not truly confident in. (Just a thought)

Consider who builds American EVs:

1) a SV/Texas "tech" company, which, by its very identity, must yield insane returns to shareholders
2) Legacy auto companies who must yield insane returns to both shareholders and, to a lesser extent, retired employees. In their defense, the second group actually did work

Compare this to Chinese EV makers who are dumpi - I mean, willing to take less return on their sale in order to establish market dominance globally.

Yeah, no wonder American EVs are expensive.

Some captchas are getting pretty discriminatory, not everyone lives in the West and can identify the objects they are asking you to. Another recent one sticks out where they asked me to pick a shape as the same number of conoids on screen. If you ask people on a street what a conoids I bet a significant amount will give you blank looks

Also at least now I know some people call those markings crosswalks
There are also residency slots not funded by Medicare or any foundation. They pay the same as the funded slots. These slots exist because it's usually profitable to pay a resident physician to deliver care at a fraction of the salary of an attending physician.
Your two examples of "lies, conspiracy theories, fantastical inventions" were that minimum wage wage costs jobs and that tax cuts generate growth. You are under the impression that there is broad economic consensus on these assertions to the point that they are "proven" false. Just from some cursory searching this doesn't seem to be the case. For instance:

"""
Steve Kaplan of Chicago Booth strongly agreed that raising the wage would adversely affect the unemployment rate: “A $15 minimum wage rise makes entry level/low wage jobs very expensive. It would move the US to be more like France, Italy, etc.”

David Autor of MIT disagreed: “I don’t think the evidence supports the bold prediction that employment will be substantially lower. Not impossible, but no strong evidence.”

And Oliver Hart of Harvard was uncertain: “I worry that it will, but we don’t know enough. Firms may raise prices and the Fed may accommodate some inflation. But the change is large.”
""" [1]

And from NPR on tax cuts:
"""
Many — but by no means all— economists believe there's a relationship between cuts and growth. In a 2012 survey of top economists, the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business found that 35 percent thought cutting taxes would boost economic growth. A roughly equal share, 35 percent, were uncertain. Only 8 percent disagreed or strongly disagreed.
""" [2]

It doesn't seem like these things are as proven as you think they are. I encourage you to step out of your echo chamber and challenge your ideas more, and try to be less partisan in your analysis.

This isn't really accurate, they're targeting industrial wastewater yes but they are working with and have tested brackish water up to several thousand TDS. They had a working EDR system for drinking water installed in Gaza until relatively recently and several in India as well. I'm also skeptical they can make it work with seawater, but it absolutely works with undrinkable brackish water in many other cases too.

Never even heard of them, so I doubt they're the only ones "doing it right" vs other car companies that actually sell EVs.

You can set the bar lower. Have it invent another n log n sorting algorithm. Or omit all merge sort implementations from training data and see if it can re-invent it.

But I certainly agree in general. It’s been years and there are still no independent novel discoveries afaik.
Entertainingly bad is different from simply bad in every(?) art.

So-bad-it's-good film isn't the worst film in every dimension—often it's competently- or even well-made in at least some ways. Films that are simply all-around bad, made with no amount of skill at the craft and insufficient effort, usually aren't entertaining and aren't the kind of thing anybody wants to watch. So-bad-it's-good is defined by being a kind of bad that one can still appreciate, even if part of the appreciation is of the ways in which it is bad.

There was a thread on here about bad songs the other day, and the kind of bad people meant wasn't, like, an untalented and under-practiced 9-year-old screeching out their original composition on a violin. Obviously that's worse than nearly anything, but nobody means that when they talk about something like "what are the worst songs?" A credible effort has to be put in for anyone to even care to think about it to shit on it.

I think it's still useful to call those categories "bad", even if they're not the most bad. Often the badness is what distinguishes them from the merely forgettable.
All this seems to be conjecture. Maybe its true that their economy will falter hard, maybe not.

I wish we could hear from actual Bhutanese people rather than look at statistics. I suspect the reason people leave is more complex than this.
That lacks context*

Obviously it might be pointless for a company like Tesla, as it might not favour their financial numbers.

It is actually a phenomenon going on specially with European brands. They have abandoned low margin cars, it is, cheapest segments, to improve their financial performance numbers (ROIC...)

* That was mentioned during Tesla's earnings call in October this year, in the context of the shift of strategy towards FSD and the Robotaxi.

> In that case, an alternative to extensive testability is to design the code in such a simple way that there isn't many places for bugs to hide.

I like this as an ideal. But I struggle to see how code can be both so simple that it is hard to make a mistake and also difficult to unit test.

Most of what I have seen forcing tests to be overly complex and brittle has been coupling code that have very different responsibilities (for example, testing business logic requires testing UI components that perform it). Separating those out would have been better design and more testable.
These are not "Anonymous" calls though.

I laugh to myself whenever I read some disclaimer that says “ask your doctor” because… how? I’m supposed to call the office, wait six to nine months, and then ask about a mild health concern I had that’s long past?
Of course, you can also dig around and find actual footage of the Madison square garden rally held by the Trump campaign... Which looked pretty Nazi-adjacent at least.

There was a time before the Nazi party was orchestrating a genocide. The party didn't start obviously evil. It found its way there through a series of circumstances and a need to maintain control in the face of global opposition and no policy within the party itself to actually address successfully the problems Germany was facing, leading to blind trust of a leader and his his inner circle over sense, reason, and morality.

There is a real and tangible risk that the modern American GOP is following the same path.

And hey, the German people who supported the Nazis didn't want to hear what they were turning into either. Their descendants got to live with that on their consciences.

Dorchester Brewing Company

DBco is Boston’s hottest Tap Room filled with fresh craft beer. It’s right on Mass Ave in Dorchester! Admission to MOBA is free only because DBco allows (even encourages) MOBA to adorn the walls in the taproom, game room, the stairwell, even on the outside of the elevator shaft and a walk-in refrigerator. While you’re there, try house-made craft beers, cider, seltzer, and wine. Here’s the Taproom menu. Enjoy lunch or dinner from their onsite food partner, M&M Barbecue.
DBco has a Rooftop Greenhouse and outdoor roof deck with views of the Boston skyline; Game Room with skeeball, pinball, arcade games, pop-a-shot, and tabletop shuffleboard; and public events like Yappy Hour, Trivia Contests, Crafting Sessions, and more. Event Calendar here.

Meet the MOBA Staff

WSBE RI PBS (Rhode Island Public Broadcast System) came all the way to Boston to learn about the Museum Of Bad Art. The result is a 7-minute video introducing MOBA’s people, history, and art. It was broadcast on their weekly show, Art, Inc. and is now available on YouTube. If you want to meet Curator-in-chief Michael Frank and Permanent Interim Acting Executive Director Louise Reilly Sacco, aka Mike and Louise, take a look here.
That sounds to me like something that will be subsumed by the combination of ITP and AI.

also, discord is free to use and has very thorough documentation, on top of all the things previously mentioned. so there’s definitely upsides to it.
This is an image the business works to maintain: Your manager is there to help you and make you feel like you belong so you don't leave, but the things that actually matter (pay) are untouchable algorithms defined by the faceless machine above. It's one of the ways modern businesses (at least in the US) have inched the shared rewards of capitalism away from the employee (and inched the shared pain of negative economic trends toward the employee) over decades.
Also: way better hours (no nights/weekends/holidays); less likelihood of malpractice lawsuits along with far lower medical malpractice insurance rates; much less stress; happier patients.
I'm a web dev that takes REST data and puts it in the database, or the other way around. It's not rocket science, and I do consider myself a good developer.

Of course I learned long time ago that there is zero correlation between my knowledge and getting a job, and in anyway the amount of companies I want to work at, can be counted on one hand (and most of them rejected me anyways, but I guess it would turn out to be the same feeling eventually).
Maybe not swatting, but bomb threats were probably the equivalent. My junior high had at least 2 that I can remember where we were all cleared out for hours as the school was searched. Swatting had the internet to fuel it's rise, local news programs didn't use things like reporting on every fake bomb threat to generate views or "engagement" and in turn did not spread the idea to a massive amount of people. But they still happened, quite a bit. Like many things fueled from the internet it rewards the more extremes, bomb threats are childs play now--but at one time they weren't
Its not fuel economy laws, its the highway safety laws. Light cars are usually more efficient.

Maybe you're thinking of the strict emission laws regarding NOx and SOx that prevent diesel cars.
When the cops think they are actually likely to encounter genuine armed resistance they ambush the suspect outside their home. If that's not practical they set up a perimeter. Police are not profession combatants. Their tactical doctrine is dominated by "gotta go home safe." SWAT raids exist mostly for the image and spectacle.
> I don’t think companies are penalized for producing small cars

They are. CAFE target formulas have the footprint of the vehicle(s) in the denominator. Larger footprint = easier fuel economy targets

Currently in Europe right now the smart purchase is on second hand EVs. Depreciation is extremely high (mainly fueled by fear of second hand batteries), so you can get an EV equivalent to an ICE counterpart for around 30-40% less money (Golf vs ID3; BMW iX vs X5; Model 3 vs BMW 330i/340i).

If I was in the market for a second hand car I would go electric for sure.
First, I don't see the problem with conflicting interests.
Sad for them is not necessary sad for us.

Then, in my case it was more "sad" from a commercial point of vue, because it is means that despite their models potentially be betters, almost no one use them, and they are not well known. And it will probably not change as there is a high barrier to entry to have to trust them to suddenly start using their models with their APIs out of the blue.
Not that many persons will test, benchmark and then recommend the models.

Also, sad on a last aspect that is not inconsistent with paying their employees:

- If you only offer an API but not a way to self host the commercial models, you are limiting yourself a lot the potential customers that are looking for alternatives to OpenAI.
This is the same somehow shitty move as Adobe forcing full "cloud" solutions.

Lesson 1 about competing with Google should be "don't be even more disrespectful to your users than Google is". Otherwise people will just use Google.

Relying on the goodwill of a small number of "never-Googlers" to carry your business, in spite of the way you do business, is not a path to success.

While hCaptcha trashes its reputation, the rest of the world will go on using reCaptcha and not giving the faintest whiff of a fart about hCaptcha's existence.

> How other engineering industries deal with this phenomena?

They don't. CAD, the "programming languages" of most other engineering disciplines, is as much of a Wild West.
If we wanted a cheap American electric car, the way to do it would be to allow Chinese EV manufacturers to sell to the American public!

Of course, that is not allowed, because it would benefit the American people and hurt the American car cartel.
Imagine a Star Trek existence where any meal imaginable was just a replicator away and a holodeck could enable one to be anybody, have anybody, and do anything - any time and for seemingly no or next to no cost.

Many people seem to think this would be a utopia, but I suspect on reality there'd be a mass epidemic of suicide, drug abuse, and so on.

It's not about having external constraints, but about having a purpose in life. Of course one could create a purpose but endless hedonism is far more tempting. The history of ancient emperor's, who could have or do essentially anything, and how they approached life is a clear example of both sides of the coin. The only difference between Aurelius and Calligula is one created an artificial purpose for himself, and the other simply indulged in the pleasures of life as an end in itself.

The era of computing that the story claims to come from sounds like the late 1990s. By that time UNIX could have had that fairly easily; the resources were available. However at the time we were not that far off from the era where every byte counted, and there were a lot of people who had been programming for decades who were still in the mindset of "every byte is precious". In that era we still had the last few people running around claiming that writing code in anything other than straight, raw assembler was a waste of resources, though they were fading fast by that point. Anyone who has learned programming in an era of gigabytes may not understand just how expensive once upon a time even so much as a "nice error message" was, and every disk block of code that was going on to every system was a disk block unavailable for the user. UNIX used to be a lot sharper-edged than it is today.

Compared to other countries American cops aren't really trained at all.

In Germany the training period for a police officer is 2 to 3 years, in the US it's usually less then 6 months.
I did a bunch of work with WinPE for Win 7,8, and 10. Customizing the environment for automated deployment was a ton of fun. I really came to appreciate the tooling available in WinPE (and it's eccentricities). It's probably what really paved the way for my transition to Linux.
They have a mandate to monitor and set standards for water systems. That's what they're doing here. Implementing those standards is left up to the municipal water supplies that actually manage the water systems. Similarly, CISA has a mandate to monitor and strengthen infrastructure cybersecurity. There's no contradictions here.

If you have questions on the extent of the EPA's mandate and why, you'll probably find the Wikipedia page a better resource than me.
I doubt coding is the only thing you can do. A lot of us get into coding because we are good at problem solving. If you can define your long term goals, and make an inventory of your resources, I bet you, along with the help of your family, can figure out a solution. I quit my IT job at 35 and became a massage therapist. The act of building my own house at 30 gave me the confidence to try the career change. You can gain a lot of energy doing things you care about, even if it's hard work.
