The change to democracy doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's the most likely system to come about due to an advance in technology. So people advocating for it are already swimming with the tide. Also, if a large majority want democracy, then it's more likely to happen, especially due to pressure from other countries who are also democratic and have a vested interest in democracy.

If you want to make a change where the majority (or at list the rich majority) don't want, then violence will be much more effective. For example, I think it's likely that this one killing will do more to cause a renewed vigor in revamping America's health care than any nonviolent protest, because the richest capitalists and shareowners are against it.

The Substack is still live[0]. Anyway, one of the images in his Twitter banner[1] is an X-ray of a spine with a bunch of screws in it. The Substack is also named after Breloom and has a picture at the bottom, and that's also in the Twitter banner but doesn't seem otherwise prominent in any of his social medias. Not very hard to figure out a spinal issue as a potential motive and guess at an interest based on the banner and cook up a quick viral post. I'm not saying it's definitely fake, just urging a bit of caution for the time being.

Have you spent any times with bees? Beekeeping really changed my opinions on bees. They are quite industrious and very gentle.
You can pretty quickly put something together using MUI.com, their community templates (https://mui.com/store/#populars), or their low-code framework (https://mui.com/toolpad/).

I learned all my frontend stuff on LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda). My colleague likes frontendmasters.com. MDN is a good resource: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript

If you're used to writing a lot of APIs and backend stuff, the frontend world is different in that it's a lot declarative markup and not as much logic. There's almost no OOP in frontend anymore; it's mostly just a bunch of HTML (or JSX, which is basically React-in-XML-that-looks-like-HTML). The JS array and object "iterable" methods (map, filter, flatMap, etc.) are used a lot, but not necessarily for data manipulation, just to put API response objects on-screen (e.g. you map through an array to transform each data object into a UI component).

Take a look at some of the example MUI templates to get an idea of how these things are put together. Once you do one or two it should become pretty straightforward.

There's a lot of 80/20 stuff in the frontend, as in you can get the basics of it pretty quickly, and then spend a lifetime diving into CSS rules and all that. But with MUI, you don't really need to drop down to that level of detail – it's all abstracted into well-documented and well-tested components with their own APIs. Modern React is pretty straightforward compared to how it used to be. Or you can check out Vue/Svelte, but they have much less mindshare and ecosystem support than React. There's also Angular (also unpopular now) and I just heard of https://vaadin.com/ for Java.

Edit: Keep in mind, though, that if you want to use React, I'd consider it a different learning track altogether vs barebones JS. In React you almost never directly mutate the DOM (document object model, the parsed node tree of HTML) the way you do with vanilla JS.

He's basically correct though. This statement has also sat terribly with me. Especially given how much we glorify documents like the constitution or declaration of independence.

Like many absolute statements, this claim is just plain wrong. America (and many other countries) were started by revolutions. The revolutionaries had guns.

Countries like India are unique for gaining freedom without violence.

I mean just look at Syria. I don't have any feelings good or bad towards the rebels. But people have been trying to get rid of Assad for ages and it just took the right people with guns.

One man's violence is another's righteous revolution. All political power is at the end of the barrel of a gun.
Sure, this is literally the core of Qubes security model. They run a massively stripped down Xen that eliminates a lot of the complex interfaces, the old legacy hardware emulation models, etc. If you can pivot through Xen, you own Qubes entirely - you can get to Dom0, and do whatever you want. They've gone very much out of their way to ensure that the VM to hypervisor interfaces are as limited as possible, and as hard as possible.

AI's going to kill artists. The "recording industry" will persist

Example: https://old.reddit.com/r/musicindustry/comments/1ao87z5/spot...
> Lobbyist organizations should redirect their power into making the government appropriately tax streaming platforms to fund artists, rather than side with monopolistic corporate players.

Sorry, what? We're talking about streaming platforms here that have contracts with record labels that have contracts with musicians. If those contracts aren't paying musicians enough, why is the solution to impose a new tax on streaming platforms specifically to pay musicians?

From the page they link to:

> The Living Wage for Musicians Act would tax providers’ non-subscription revenues and add a small fee to the price of music streaming subscriptions. DSPs like Spotify offering interactive music streaming services would pass their taxed revenues and royalties to a non-profit collection and distribution fund, that would in turn pay artists in proportion to their monthly streams.

Isn't this what these contracts are supposed to already be doing? If the numbers aren't making sense then the contract needs to renegotiated. If musicians don't have enough power to renegotiate then the government can and should address that. But why would the solution be to use the taxation power to do the job that royalties are already supposed to be doing?

This feels like a classic case of addressing the symptoms (musicians aren't making enough money) while failing to address the actual problem (musicians have no power to negotiate for what they want).
Artba Bridge Report
Im not going to argue against the idea that stupid decisions are stupid or that some people make them.

My point is rather that preferences, including the material reality that you seek, are almost entirely cultural. There is no culture vs reality, but rather some cultural values vs other cultural values
I specified why:

> I don't see the courts failing to uphold the law (save for the supreme court which fails to uphold the Constitution, but that doesn't weigh on the everyday person's life much, as we saw through the elections)

you may of course disagree, I'd like to hear your perspective.
No offense but that is bunk.

To grow thousands of olive trees indoors would be nearly impossible. Perennial crops like this need huge amounts of soil for their root systems, and to replace the amount of olives with indoor plantation would require a massive square footage of greenhouses.

Not to mention that diseases like this can just as easily transmit indoors. Look into the American chestnut blight if you don't believe me. There almost no way to grow a tree isolated from the blight.

The only viable solution in cases like these is a genetic one. In this case, we can actually top the olive and graft a disease resistant variety onto the rootstock. In some cases you may have to actually develop an entirely new tree from scratch and replant.

That is why continuous research into plant genetics and breeding is so extremely important for the continuation of human society.
Grover's algorithm is useful for very few things in practice, because for most problems we have a better technique than checking sqrt(N) of all possible solutions, at least heuristicly.

There is, at present, no quantum algorithm which looks like it would beat the state of the art on Chess, Go, or NP-complete problems in general.
As another commenter pointed out, CLI/TUI isn't that hard. In many cases it's easier than GUI ones. But I have a different purpose. I can configure different pieces (imap for incoming, smtp for outgoing, notmuch & afew for tagging and search, etc) and use it uniformly from a variety of different programs including git and emacs. Not very simple, I must admit. But it's a personal choice. It works very well for my use cases, including realtime full mail backup and offline use.

No-one would solve chess by checking every possible legal chess state -- also checking 'all the states' wouldn't solve chess, you need a sequence of moves, and that pushes you up to an even bigger number. But again, you can easily massively prune that, as many moves are forced, or you can check you are in a provable end-game situation.

This doesn't seem very consistent with what we know about Luigi. I can't find a Monterey within a four-hour drive of Maryland that's likely to have an aquarium; it looks like his mother now runs a boutique travel agency in a way that doesn't seem consistent with this description; and in general he seems to have grown up with affluence that's not reflected here.
That's a stretch. Stand your ground laws are intended for threats of imminent physical violence.
This is a common phenomenon for most things because the people in the lowest intake category of a thing are normally there for a very specific reason.

For example, people who don't drink any alcohol are more likely to die than people who drink a little bit. Why? Because people who don't drink at all tend to be those with liver damage or former alcoholics who have already done permanent damage.

I suspect a similar explanation here. People who avoid added sugar probably have other health complications going on that force them into the lowest intake category.
Even for that to work you need a good random number generator

Completely agree. If we just lived in little old villages without the support systems for advanced technological systems, people like his mother would have just shrieked in pain while we sprinkled her with various herbs, and he wouldn't even have any idea of shooting someone for the unfairness, because we'd just accept our fates with aplomb.

What TDD is good for
I agree. Biodiversity in agriculture is severely lacking. The good news is that we have heritage seeds. However, we don't have the capacity to ramp that stock up quickly. The main issue is that farmers will choose the best seeds for the current conditions/risks. This leads to a consensus winning variety. There's no benefit to the farmer to plant "inferior" seeds for an event that has yet to happen.
The incentives go both ways. In the short term, the minimum medical loss ratio rule incentivizes payers to approve more claims and allow network providers to charge higher rates. But longer term payers can only maintain market share with their most important customers (the large self-funded employers) by lowering total medical expenses.
Do you need to be tried in court to be guilty of something? The guy he killed contributed to the suffering of many Americans. In this country that should be illegal but it isn’t, it’s rewarded.

Ah, cool, interesting.

Does the 50 turn rule make the analysis harder or easier? My gut says easier because it creates some limit that should, I guess, let you prune some extra cases somehow… but it does add some extra state which is weird.

It’s currently just in name only. But that is likely to change soon in some form yet to be revealed when the new government is sworn in.

So legally it isn’t in government yet, however as it is officially part of the elected governments plans, you can make a sensible argument that it is part of the incoming transitional government that has been elected and while having now power due to not being sworn in yet, is indeed part of government by nature transition teams and the president elect having status in government by way of things like security briefings and other rights and privileges normally only held by the incumbent government like increased security protection…

It would be like saying a government in exile (a well established precedent of history) isn’t a government and none of the people in it are in government…

They aren't talking about polyculture as proximity to other types of crops. They are talking about the limited genetic diversity in within a specific type of crop. This issue is very common. Another example is the Cavendish banana. I believe the article advocates for planting resistant varieties.

An Electronic Chessboard Without Turns
I wonder if this is more correlation with the “transport” medium.

Pastries, ice cream, etc are high in fats, and thick, so they may break down and get absorbed by the body slower while soda is just sugar water so it may flood the body faster.

Alternatively, maybe it’s a time-of-day thing? A dessert you eat after a meal means you’re consuming it on a full stomach while a snack is consumed empty.

Indirectly saying lower sugar intake had higher risks and so on but we know you can live just fine without any added sugar consumed without any risks. Some comments above asked if that is the correct reading and the science provided us the answers to this question a long time ago and the answer is no; eating no added sugar is healthy and you will be fine.

You don’t have to take my word for it; you can take one of UCSF professor Lustig.

Edit: yes of course, glucose is the energy of life but you don’t need to consume it. I think all(?) carbohydrates break down into glucose; ergo you can get it from broccoli. Simple test is blood glucose finger prick test after eating.

But I did mean that there are people that argue that you need added sugar for proper nutrition. These people exist.

As someone who started using plaintext emails recently, HTML emails are still awful in 2024. Besides being a ugly hack on top of an originally text-only protocol, it encourages bad practices like top-posting, bad alignment etc. What's really intolerable though, is the external and dynamic content in email. I expect email to be a long-term record, not something that changes after I receive it. They should find another tool for that. Besides, most GUI clients just block external content due to security risks anyway.
