When all the acceptable solutions are taken off the table, people start turning to unacceptable solutions. It's not good, because the erosion of social institutions will worsen the situation for everyone, but the only way to deal with this is to put the acceptable solutions back on the table. If we don't want to live and die through the inevitable consequences, our government needs to stop the corporate abuse of power that has led to this.

This sort of intuitively makes sense to me, it’s not the cost of transit that’s the limiting factor, it’s the convenience. The transit center closest to my house is hardly in walking distance of anything and has a parking lot that fills up by 6am.

If the parking was free and plentiful? That would probably help.

Essentially inside the group head, there is a silicone ring which only lets water past with a small amount of pressure. When you turn the pump off, whatever pressure has built up will still be released into the coffee (we are talking like half a gram of water maybe) and at that point, water neither can neither exit the machine from the front or the back. If you want to flush all the water out entirely, you can put a cup below and the pump will blow it all out with air pressure.

You seem to have the concepts logically inverted. Mistruth is necessary for defamation but not sufficient. You are quite certainly allowed to lie, generally. You are even allowed to lie about me, and there is no exemption to the recognition of God-granted freedoms for it in the US.

However, there are very specific exceptions. You are not allowed to lie under oath. You are not allowed to defraud. You are not allowed to defame. Those states are each defined separate and apart from “lying,” which is freely permissible.
From the url: When inevitable death is imminent in spite of the means used, it is permitted in conscience to take the decision to refuse forms of treatment that would only secure a precarious and burdensome prolongation of life, so long as the normal care due to the sick person in similar cases is not interrupted. In such circumstances the doctor has no reason to reproach himself with failing to help the person in danger.

The affordable care act is the most reasonable path from the current american system to a system on par with other first world countries. This especially given the sort of republican opposition it's liable to face. It's current form is due in substantial part to the republicans gutting it, so you can't really blame the dems for it not working very well.
No, it's totally overblown. As discussed in the comments on that issue as an example, the failure was in whoever wrote Flutter's `uuid` feature.

It's simply incorrect for them to have naively used a PRNG there, regardless of whether it has a static seed or not. They should have used Random.secure all along, and anyone working in a cryptographically sensitive module, like `uuid` should be familiar enough with the distinction to make the right choice.

There's nothing especially harmful about having that static seed and there are even some diagnostic and debugging advantages offered by it. Shuffling the seed on init is a generous convenience for people who want to make sure there's more per-run variety in their randomness without setting a seed themselves, but (when using in a non-secure context) it quickly doesn't matter since anything but toy programs tend to have enough complexity, branching, and data-dependency that the sequence of invocations isn't consistent anyway.
Comparing zig error handling to no error handling is a bit disingenuous. Error handling does work and therefore costs something. This whole thread is about how exceptions are very expensive when thrown. The question then becomes how different error handling strategies handle real workloads (which will include some percentage of error cases)
"anecdotal evidences" is an oxymoron. Anecdotes by their nature cannot be considered evidence of anything, not enough to satisfy any level of scientific rigor at least

People can write a blog if they want to document their own stories. We don't need to use taxpayer funds to go interview them and we definitely do not need to be trying to draw scientific conclusions from small handfuls of people's anecdotes
This is the great illustration of the hokey thinking that happens in economics. They don't focus on modeling humans as agentic systems. What happens if GDP is pushed to 1000%, 10,000%? When there is so much agricultural production that food is free? How does that affect geopolitics, human social values and demands? It's clear to me the models completely breakdown and are really only epsilon valid (e.g okay for modeling small, but not catastrophic pertrubations)

It is weird—I would expect only the folks who make decisions as to which procedures are medically necessary (just doctors ideally) to have a duty of care. But insurance companies are bouncing back procedures are not medically necessary, so maybe we’re due for a re-adjustment in the expectations as to who has that duty.

It is surprising if insurance companies what to sign themselves up for this sort of obligation. But obviously they’ll take all the privileges of the decision making process if we don’t also hold them to the responsibilities.
This already exists on the SNES with the usb2snes/SNI family of protocols. On original hardware, it requires a flashcart that can sniff the memory bus and interface with a host PC over USB.

These days? A programmer that does anything but CRUD for web apps.

In the before times the terminology came from system 360 and descendent mainframe systems where the system programmers tended to be intimately involved with the deployment and programming of the operating system and associated "exits", and such tasks tended to presume some working knowledge of assembly language (operating systems were very crude at that time...and many shops tended to "customize" them if that makes sense...you would sometimes have serious problems with operating system level things and at that time the generic response would be "contact your systems programmer", who would either fix it or get in touch with IBM...so TLDR is basically a sysadmin that is good at assembly). Big companies could afford to have systems programmers on staff and needed them because every shop was different and computers were very custom and crude at that point in history.

That's where the terminology came from originally but now it has expanded and can mean different things.

The "systems programmers" terminology was mainly just a differentiation from the more generic "application programmers" (who would probably program in COBOL or something similar, doing business related tasks) or "system operators" (who would not usually be programmers at all, and would do a lot of what we would now consider sysadmin work).

Nowadays it just means anything that isn't bog standard CRUD or frontend web app stuff. The terminology has evolved but has a somewhat similar meaning to when it originated. It's tough to understand exactly without the historical context which is why I have included that.

For obvious reasons, this has some overlap with the more modern definition of "programmers that build systems that other programmed then use". Because the application programmers on those mainframe systems would be relying on the systems programmers to not screw up their assembly wizardry or else everything would fall apart.

I'm suspicious of most claims of AI growth, but I think screenwriting is an area where there's real potential. There are many screenplays out there, many movie plots are very similar to each other, and human raters could help with training. And it's worth noting that the top four highest grossing movies right now are all sequels or film adaptations. It's not a huge leap to imagine an LLM in the future that's been trained on movie writing being able to create a movie script when given the Wicked musical.

Is that generally how unused memory is used, and will this kind of "cache" be released if another application truly needs it to load actually vital things?
Self defense can give mitigating circumstances in some legal systems, but it’s not an ethical joker to kill whoever we self-decreed feels as representing a threat.

For example, we can go into treacherous schemes that pushes our neighbors into paths where the only obvious option they can still perceive as a way to escape our shenanigans is an attempt to kill us, and as they come with this very real intention to kill us, press the button we had prepared to trigger some mortal trap.
I don't design satellites so I don't know. As I wrote, if there are reasonable measures that can be taken to reduce the effect of satellites on astronomers (or potentially creating space debris) they should be taken. However, there's a clear trend towards more (cheaper) satellites that serve useful purposes. And I very much doubt the public cares much about any inconveniences it presents to academics in this case.
Nope. Many important results have names that are familiar to everyone in the subfield, so you might say "by So-and-So's Lemma, this module is finitely generated". Failing that, you could maybe cite a paper or a book where the result appears, like "We can then conclude using Corollary 14.7 from [31] that...", where [31] is in your bibliography.

Part of it stems from the fact that wholesalers, in addition to raw ingredients, also sell partially prepared pre-packaged meals to restaurants. A number of restaurants resort to this model, in particular major chains (Applebee's, IHop, Waffle House, etc.) as it means less kitchen staff to hire. This is at least very common in North America, where Sysco is the goliath and has cornered the market on this front. Perhaps the same thing is happening in Spain?

I am in former soviet country. My relative is refusing to go for optional surgery, bcos they would put her under full anesthesia. She already had "too many anesthesias" in her life, and her brain may not take it well.

Speaker mute, volume keys, navigation keys all fine.

All changes to the status quo can have political repercussions. But there is a difference between a change that is a byproduct of someone trying to do what is right in a given situation vs a change that someone is making directly relating to external ideological processes.

For this example, was the decision made by academics who analyzed the situation and felt that some aspects of study were underfunded? Or was it outsiders who entered the process with a specific objective and didn’t bother with the details so long as their ideological objectives were achieved?

Both are “politics” but they aren’t the same.

Could you clarify this? What problems would you run into just from having the default RNG be secure?
Depends on your philosophy I suppose. For example, Christianity teaches that failing to do good is itself a sin. So that suggests that an omission could be considered to make someone guilty.

I suspect that all modern legal systems have the concept of negligence which could result in someone being considered guilty for someone's death. I imagine in that case whether that's "murder" would come down to whether you mean a legal definition (which might call it something else like "manslaughter") or the colloquial definition.

...and what is the implication here? After I broke a bone, I was given a choice between surgery and a cast. I chose surgery - which cant be undone - and I half-regret it because when I bump into things and the titanium bits transferred the force straight to the bone, resulting in exquisite pain. Should I have been denied surgery because it can't be undone? I think not; I was given the choice, I hose what I thought was best. Did I make the correct choice? Probably not, but it was my choice to make, and expecting a system with 0% regret rate is impossible.

It's unfortunate that the article doesn't point at the most obvious cause of the shortage: Russia deliberately and systematically destroying Ukrainian power grid for three years, and Western unwillingness to put a stop to that.

The scale of necessary repairs is mind boggling. Here's what just Europe alone shipped to Ukraine to repair the damage [1]:

- 8 827 power generators… with an estimated 1 258 590 kVA in power generators

- 3 597 transformers + 5 autotransformers

- 3 364 generators and 14 transformers from the rescEU stockpile

Then there is US support:

- 18 autotransformers "with more on the way" [2]

- 59 transformers just for Kharkiv [3]

…and that is just scratching the surface and is barely enough to keep the lights on, with Ukrainians installing private batteries and generation up and down the country.

Just last night Russia launched another massive attack at the energy infrastructure [4]. More expensive, rare, long lead time transformers getting blown up, and the raid doesn't even get any attention in the West.

Occult blood stool sample? Colonoscopies are a lot more accurate. Something on the order of 50% vs 90%.
+1 there is so much unnecessary synchronization in things. It's crazy how much cost we pay for unnecessary locking in single threaded applications. Even multi threaded applications can end up scaling poorly. There are better ways to achieve partitioning of state that scales better than to simply litter granular locks everywhere.
> It wouldn’t just be covered as screening (since it was an incident rather than preventive at that point). She said it was better just to get the colonoscopy due to health insurer rules.

Well yeah...it isn't screening then. It's a treatment. So the question becomes whether or not the treatment is necessary. If the prior "screening" didn't show definitive evidence that the treatment is necessary, then...what are you doing, exactly?

I understand that colonoscopies mix up the notion of treatment and screening, but the doctor is basically saying "our screening tests don't work very well, so we should just do the treatment without evidence because they'll pay for that."
