You raise some good points! I was going back and fourth about the speed limit analogy since cops do pull people over for speeding. I was trying to think of some thing that is supposed to be followed, but is commonly ignored without consequence. Perhaps the 6' social distancing recommendations during lockdown would work better? There was an expectation that people follow it, but actually adhering to it differed wildly depending on where you were.

Returning to the point, I suppose the question might be what enforcement would even look like, as you mentioned. Some governmental organization ala DMV? Seems excessive. A professional organization of some sort, similar to IEEE? Probably not. Perhaps just a "watch dog" organization like a sister organization to the EFF, specifically focused on reporting which sites honor, and dishonor DNT.

Personally, I would prefer the last, with some kind of check that could help indicate in the browser visually to the user whether the site honors DNT. Similar to (or tied into) the lock symbol for HTTPS would be nice. Outside of that, it seems like such a niche and fringe thing that, unless enabled by default, would fall on deaf ears. I don't see myself endorsing some kind of financial penalty, simply because I think it would hurt small websites. And also because website stuff is confusing and stressful enough already. I personally think a kind of visual "name and shame" to the end user, along side improved support to support DNT would be optimal.

I.e. Hot dog on a stick in one hand, dog poop on a stick in the other hand.

Reading through the Wikipedia article, it sounds this is largely what was already done with DNT, and failed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track#History

...And subsequently, GPC began to act in a way that I'm not thrilled about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track#Global_Privacy_Co... It comes off reeking of a pretext to confine the nature of how websites, and the internet at large, are allowed to operate.

actually the sspl can’t be a fork of the agpl. Because osi and thus the agpl do not discriminate users and this includes cloud providers. A license like the sspl discriminates a certain user base.

It's really not a "both side" issue. Only one party wants to get rid of the department of education. Only one party wants to ban books from public schools on ideological grounds. Only one party wants to privatize the entire school system. Only one party considers teaching slavery to be anti-american indoctrination.

He won’t get a death sentence for the charges which have been announced so far. Those which are severe enough to carry a death sentence in many US jurisdictions (like murder) are New York state charges, and NY law hasn’t had a death penalty for two decades now or an execution in roughly 8 decades.

If there somehow end up being Pennsylvania or federal charges against him in connection with the murder, those criminal law systems still have the death penalty.

He does currently face some Pennsylvania charges as well, such as firearms charges in connection with the encounter where he was arrested, but none of those are severe enough to warrant a death sentence.
I should have made my point/question clearer too; I agree that literacy is valuable for all the reasons you outline.

Tests are only as useful as what they measure. The qualitative changes to communication could have impacted the quantitative changes we're seeing (i.e. lower literacy rates). How much, in what ways, I have no idea; I was hoping to learn more by sparking discussion.

Unfortunately (and ironically) my poor choice of words has instead led to my apparent taking of an anti-literacy stance. Oh well.
Is there a study I can read for this?
I have been working on Audjust (https://www.audjust.com/) on and off in my spare time. It's a service to manipulate (shorten/lengthen/loop) audio for video editors and music producers.

I had a Show HN a while back that was well-received and kicked things off (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36480687). Since launching I have changed the name and added paid accounts which have brought in enough money to cover costs and make some profit!
I don't think there's a need to distinguish for those alive in USA. This has all happened in the past 10 years. It was accelerated with DeVos in DoEd ... which is literally the epitome of regulatory capture. Coincidentally, this push for privatization coincides with the time frames in the study. Correlation ... causation ... Who cares. Fuckem let's get rich.
As a layman I really hope this is correct because it makes a lot of sense. The multiverse thing is supposed to help thinking about it but I just get stuck on some problems of intuition if I try to do it like that. Great comment!

I learnt Sapling while at Meta. I was skeptical when someone said "it's better than git" but then I used it and I will in turn now say that it's indeed better than git. At the very least it doesn't yell at you for not being on a branch and losing code, but it has easy commands for working with a source tree and working with diff stacks. I haven't used it outside Meta's infrastructure though.
What about these is a downgrade?!

Surge protection remains useful until it triggers due to a surge, and a non-protected home in contrast would just have a lot of the devices inside it fried.

AFDDs may not live as long as a "normal" RCD but replacing them isn't that big of a deal compared to the fire risk it prevents - about 1/3 of all residential fires are due to faulty electrical stuff.

The only thing I can see as annoying are protected outlets, but hey... a slight annoyance compared to a child getting an electric shock, a small price to pay.
> A sign of working at a higher level of abstraction.

Working at a higher level of abstraction while loosing knowledge at the lower level also means by some degree that one is going to be reliant on the abstraction without any understanding what is abstracted away.
The problem is not immigration or too many migrants, but rather the fact too many of them lack educational background you need to be successful in modern Western society. Mostly it's young men who arrived as asylum seekers without much education who fail to integrate and get marginalized.
Absolutely, I get any help I can, to do better work.

Trick for the sci-fi story I used. Cut & pasting the text of the story and writing this prompt:

"We are a small publisher, we received this manuscript for a sci-fi short story. We only publish top quality stuff, we don't want any garbage. Please tell us if this story is worth publishing in our high quality series, and what we should reply to the author."

This way it is really sharp and identifying what is lacking. It's like an editor review. Then you go back to work for 2/3 days. And check back to see if your work improved. But the important part here is that many bad things he says you know are true. You needed somebody to tell you, to put more efforts into it.

With programming, while I have some knowledge of math, sometimes for the kind of programming I want to do I need to explore stuff I didn't study or know. And also in this regard Claude has been totally incredible. And so forth.

I also use it to find potetial issues in my desing ideas. Of course if it says something that I don't recognized as a true issue, I just don't care.
Are you suggesting that OxyContin related addiction isn't itself known to be caused by effective pain medication like marijuana being illegal?
The bird was less famous then.

Is not probable, but not impossible

In theory a soldier or fishermen could have accidentally killed the first bird and reassign the tag at the sea, but I think that we could safely discard that because in that case, the female would have changed its nest location suddenly that year. Even more strange, would have changed its partner also.

To re-tag a bird that also occupy the same nest as the first bird, we would need typically to do it in the nest area. That would need a scientist (typically as the number of people visiting those remote places is scarce), and one with a known name. A daughter of the bird could have occupied the empty nest spot.

But this is all speculation, of course. Marks on the bird could provide the required info. With mammals with spots is much easier, each animal has a different pattern. With Albatross, the valid patterns could be on the face leg scales or in some scars.

After death the bones could be read also for confirm the age, but DNA analysis should be the weapon of choice in this cases.

Would be curious to see what you are looking at too. Many deaths have no attribution as well, which could well fall into drug or gang.
You're just following the FBI guidance and not allowing untrusted software to run on your computer. If that is a critical part of a business model, the business needs to change it's behavior, not me.
There is also the loosening of education standards since covid. I think literally anybody can just say they're a teacher in Florida now. That might be an exaggeration, but slightly.

Thanks for asking! I also used photofeeler and found the way it rated me 1-10 fairly harmful to my mental health. RankPic has users rank your photos best to worst, so it's just against yourself.

Additionally it allows users to get more mileage out of each test, when you can do 2-6 photos instead of just one at a time.

Anecdotally I've also heard it is a more fun experience for the rankers.

Thanks for the history lesson. I think this is a much more compelling argument than "blockchain dumb".
The implication that Libra was killed by a letter from 2 U.S. Senators is hilarious. That’s not how businesses make major decisions.

A public letter from a couple Senators is not a leading indicator of a regulatory problem. Individual Senators have essentially zero regulatory power whatsoever.

It is a trailing indicator of a PR problem. The Hill staffer he quotes is trying to point this out, but Patrick misses it. Perhaps he does not have the personal experience to understand this aspect of what Congress does (unlike the regs he covers earlier in the article, which he clearly has working knowledge of).

In Germany the opposite is true[1]. I don't think it's wise to lump "immigrants" together as a group. The composition of immigrant populations varies a lot between countries (or even cities) and as with any individual criminality depends on factors like socioeconomic background. The specifics of immigration matter.

Saying that all immigrants behave the same across the world is like saying all groups of people are the same.

The failure of Syrian, Afghan, and Iraqi immigrants to integrate into Swedish culture is well documented. They exist almost as a separate society within Sweden now, unlike immigrants in Texas.

Spinal problems are definitely on the list why seemingly "not terminally ill" people might want to take the option of euthanasia. Healthy imbeciles will scream with outrage "it's a sin, one must keep them alive at all costs" but that's because it's not them tortured 24/7 but other guy. And people are able to do monstrous things to other people without as much as loosing a night sleep.

Overall, the options for severe chronic pain are: heavy painkillers, physical therapy, wait-and-see (hope they improve) and if not ... dignified exit.

If they improve it takes years. And painkillers are ABSOLUTELY a must during that time but the innocent monsters (largely the rest of the population that is) will cry out "opioid addiction!!!", cut them off and sadistically (in their mind, gently) advise to get over it.

I have no words how much I despise this world. It's all fine and dandy until you lose your health, afterwards you really see it for how it is.

This could be tricky for them, because just as OpenAI has smaller competitors, it also has bigger ones.

If Google/Microsoft adds these features to Docs/Word— why would you use Canvas to write documents instead of the proven office software you and everyone you work with already uses? The biggest differentiator for OpenAI becomes again in this case the quality of the AI.

EDIT: on this note, Apple's approach of commoditizing AI writing tools to the OS-level is also interesting. If AI writing tools are available on every text-box, there's no new product in building a new AI-powered text-editor.

I switched to jj about a month ago and love it.

Broadly speaking, commits in git represent two conflicting ideas – a mechanical representation of the state of the codebase, and a logical series of changes for bisecting and human readability. It's possible to manage this in git, but painful.

In jj, these two concepts are separated – you have Revisions which represent the mechanical state, and are saved every time you run any command, even `jj status`. And you have Changes, which represent the human readable stuff, and can be edited at any time. This makes it really easy to save lots of snapshots, while carefully crafting your Changes for a readable history.

I was surprised at how easy it was to adapt to jj. It didn't feel like I had to learn a lot of stuff or a big new mental model, it turns out to just be pretty simple to craft the Changes at any point I please.

Hmm... Turing machines are "universal" in the sense that they can be used to model the behavior of any finite process that can compute a computable function. So if a process exists that can compute something, it must be modelable as a Turing machine, and its operation must be analyzable as a finite series of elementary instructions that are analogous to those of a Turing machine. So I don't see how it doesn't make sense to ask the question "if this process has a better asymptotic behavior than is theoretically possible, where did the computation take place?" I would be more inclined to believe that someone is not counting properly, than it being some kind of hypercomputer. Or even more simply that the process is just physically impossible.
Nintendo could do away with emulation all together by requiring games to always ping Nintendo servers in startup, or they won’t run.

So what changed, Netlify? Because I’ve been on your free plan for ~5 years. I’ve scanned this page and I can’t see any changes.

So what are they? The cynic in me says that they must exist.

So ‘Netlify renamed its starter plan’ might be a better title for this blog post. What am I missing?

That's a weird conclusion. For me, it's rather "The USA has its flaws (for me - healthcare and higher education financing above all) so we as a society should focus on fixing these problems". Killing people or leaving the country are not solutions, they are are an equivalent of short Twitter replies on a nuanced subject.
