> Imagine math if we'd question the basic axioms.

The world we exeprience and the language we use to describe it doesn't have axioms like math, so it's no surprise people routinely disagree about these topics. Most of the subjects in your list contain a great deal of nuance. For example:

> whether crime is up or down

What counts as "crime"? Is it based on a legal definition or a moral defintion? What jursidictions does this include? What time period are we using as a baseline? Do we account for the fact that different jurisdictions measure crime differently and do we use the raw reported numbers or adjust for underreporting in the statistics? Do we weight our consideration by the severity of the crime or is it just the number of recorded offenses? The laws themselves may have changed over the period of consideration, so how do we account for that?

These questions don't have objective answers, so it's unsurprising people disagree.
This looks like it, I think:

My kid was bumped recently, by a similarly unobservant driver. Fortunately unharmed. I don't think the solution is reducing traffic density in my town, however, through taxation. Rather, encouraging accountability and discouraging distraction.
If you want automated fact checking you need to create a god. (... and creating a human team that does the same is playing God)

If you want to identify contagious emotionally negative content you need ModernBERT + RNN + 10,000 training examples. The first two are a student project in a data science class, creating the second would wreck my mental health if I didn't load up on Paxil for a month.

The latter is bad for people whether or not it is true. If you suppressed it by a large factor (say 75%) in a network it would be like adding boron to the water in a nuclear reactor. It would reduce the negativity in your feed immediately, would reduce it further because it would stop it from spreading, and soon people would learn not to post it to begin with because it wouldn't be getting a rise out of people. (This paper https://shorturl.at/VE2fU notably finds that conspiracy theories are spread over longer chains than other posts and could be suppressed by suppressing shares after the Nth hop)

My measurements show Bluesky is doing this quietly, I think people are more aware that Threads does this; most people there seem to believe "Bluesky doesn't have an algorithm" but they're wrong. Some people come to Bluesky from Twitter and after a week start to confess that they have no idea what to post because they're not getting steeped in continuous outrage and provocation.

I'm convinced it is an emotional and spiritual problem. In Terry Pratchett's Hogfather the assassination of the Hogfather (like Santa Claus but he comes on Dec 32 and has his sleigh pulled by pigs) leads to the appearance of the Hair Loss Fairy and the God of Hangovers (the "Oh God") because of a conservation of belief.

Because people aren't getting their spiritual needs met you get pseudo-religions such as "evangelicals who don't go to church" (some of the most avid Trump voters) as well as transgenderists who see egg hatching (their word!) as a holy mission, both of whom deserve each other (but neither of whom I want in my feed.)
> As long as the user keeps using a relatively stable set of devices, they will 'approximately never' be exposed to MITM.

As long as the user keeps a relatively stable set of devices and knows to be suspicious if they get asked for an OTP on a device that they know has a passkey. If they don't know to be suspicious (which let's be real, most people won't), they'll happily follow the instructions and fork over the OTP to a phisher who can use it to complete the authentication somewhere on their end.

Magic links without an OTP fallback are more secure as the initial setup process because they can't be phished unless someone's actually MITM'ing their HTTPS traffic (at which point nothing can save you anyway). A phisher can get someone to send themselves a magic link, but it's much harder to get them to provide the link to them.
The real question is what the next 3 years look like. If it's another 5 billion burned for 3 billion or less in revenue, that's one thing... But...
I fear that I'm about to be nerd sniped because I really want to try to make this work as a "proper" 10G signal.

I feel that if you over sample the SPDIF signal and line code it to not have a DC bias, and do the opposite on the receive end, it would work. That is maybe too much transformation to be interesting, however. So I wonder what happens if you sample the signal at the 10G ethernet sample rate like a 1 bit ADC does, transmit that, and smooth the too-high-frequency result with a capacitor?

I am very worried that I may end up trying this ;)
This. It's not that the Firefox is ignoring your video auto-play settings, it's that it isn't video, courtesy of the industry's greed and lack of any respect for people.
Pulling in lots of dependencies will eventually grind progress on features to a halt as you spend more and more time patching and deploying vulnerabilities. The probability of seeing new vulnerabilities I believe is pretty much linear in the number of dependencies you have.

You ignored the expected outcomes to emphasize your emotional rationalization based on “jailing a child”. That was never likely to happen, based on how US law works. For theft, even felony theft, you’re usually talking about supervised probation on a first offense — the same as felony drug offenses. There’s a whole chart of proscribed sentences based on offense and contributing factors.

> That can happen, but that’s not usually what happens when people get put through the system.

But that’s not the relevant question, eg, you’re ignoring the fact most thieves don’t stop because someone declined to prosecute them, either. You’re holding me to standards you didn’t apply to yourself.

The relevant question is — “for serial criminals who later stopped, what caused them to?”

In many cases, being jailed does stop their repeated criminality or stop the pathway of escalation. By contrast, there’s also many people who because they’re not punished, continue to escalate until they commit a violent offense and the state is forced to jail them.

> Frankly I find this line of thinking pretty tiring, with people pretending that they care about abstract “future victims”, that may or may not exist, as a means of LARPing empathy.

We’re discussing practiced criminals who likely offended before and will again — and who were physically aggressive with their victim.

You’re accusing me of “LARPing” empathy, but you’re showing time after time you’re not engaging in empathy (either understanding the thieves nor concern about victims), but soothing your emotions. That you don’t think future victims matter or people are genuinely concerned about them speaks to your own lack of empathy — both in general (ie, you can’t imagine how the person who stole from you might harm someone else and that person might be hurt) and in particular (ie, you can’t imagine how I’d genuinely be concerned about other victims, because that’s not how you feel).

You’re the one LARPing empathy to cover for your toxic emotionally driven conduct.
I've got a bit of a problem with the example of hospital management software. Given the complexity, particularly in the US, of the healthcare system, why expect the software to be "high-quality"? (Whatever that means).

Agreed on the airline management example though. It's insane how patchy that all is.
When is the last time you've seen an ad and been excited about it?

Essentially nobody is against a local pizza shop putting up a flyer. But most (almost all) ads are by companies like Coca-Cola, who simply want to beat you into submission to associate whatever it they want with their product.

Beach Summer Fun == Coca-Cola.

Childhood Wonder == Disney Resorts.

etc. etc.

You can form an opinion based on facts, but almost all advertising is not about presenting you facts to consider. Its about forming an impression for you.

And yet, tens of thousands of our fellow citizens toil away hours every day to try to convince us one way or another. And in the process make the world uglier and more hostile.
I don’t know where the trash came from, but it’s frustrating to have someone who doesn’t know anything contradicting my observations. Why are you speculating wildly about where I was, and making assumptions about something you haven’t seen in order to contradict an actual observation? All you’re saying is you don’t believe me, but based on imaginary made-up reasons. You should really go see it first. Occam’s Razor will support observations. What I saw was many many miles from a marina (deep sea fishing), lots of samples over several days of more or less constant density trash covering thousands of square miles. Trash from boats does not explain that. Occam’s Razor and all.
Agree about sleep. He managed a newsroom and “put the paper to bed” so he worked from 7pm to 4am. I’m sure it didn’t help.

it's pretty clear by healthcare outcomes & economics, especially the share spent on IT, that software and IT has been a hindrance on the healthcare industry . We should concede that some industries, like voting, are better served with paper records.

It is terrible to just do this on your own, particularly as the n00b.

If there are 5 different standards in the codebase, don't just invent your own better way of doing things. That is literally the xkcd/Standards problem. Go find one of the people who have worked there the longest and ask which of the 5 existing standards are most modern and should be copied.

And as you get more experience with the codebase you can suggest updates to the best standard and evolve it. The problem is that you then need to own updating that whole standard across the entire codebase. That's the hard part.

If you aren't experienced enough with the codebase to be aggressive about standardization, you shouldn't be creating some little playground of your own.
Coke Zero still has aspartame and so still has a bit of that "aspar-tang" to its taste. But there's something in its formulation that masks that somewhat and makes it tastier than Diet Coke. The advertisements used to say "Diet Dr. Pepper DOES taste more like regular Dr. Pepper!" and it's true: something about the spices? they add to Dr. Pepper causes the aspartame flavor to blend right in and be less noticeable.

I drink sugar-free (or occasionally, low-sugar variants like Olipop) soda from time to time but I find I'm drinking way less soda -- and everything else except maybe water and coffee -- these days. Being on a dietary protocol for early T2D has brought my liquid cravings way, way down.
I read with showdead on. I feel like people don't get modded for opinions here. Usually if the comments are dead it's because something is perceived as ad hominem, hostile, aggressive, violent, etc. It's usually the tone that gets them modded out and the content of the message, and a polite version of the same statement would stand.

There are outliers of course, but that's the general vibe.

The only time I abstract something into a function even if it’s only used in one place, is if the generic case is as easier or easier than the code for the specific case.

The "away from motherboard expansion card slots feature" isn't particularly uncommon on cases. One case that came up with a quick look around is the Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2. [2] I've seen other case manufacturers include this feature, but couldn't be arsed to spend more than a couple of minutes looking around to find more than one example to link to.

Also, there are a few smaller companies out there that make adapters [3] that will screw into a 140mm fan mounting hole and serve as an "away from motherboard" mounting bracket. You would need to remove any grilles from the mounting hole to make use of this for a graphics card.

Counterpoint: censorship inherently harms everyone. People I follow on Youtube have repeatedly had their ability to discuss topics such as suicide seriously interfered with. It actually gets in the way of factual reporting when a suicide occurs in the community and of discussing the facts of the situation so that people can learn from it and possibly prevent future deaths.

Not to mention, people just straight up have a right to talk about these things. It is not moral to hold one person responsible for an unintended and not reasonably foreseeable reaction to the discussion. And joking about these topics is legitimately therapeutic for some.
I like this as a joke, but if your moral questions involve natural numbers in any way and your moral framework does not accommodate Peano arithmetic, then it is incomplete. :)
> The difference between antivax sentiment now and circa 2005

The antivax movement literally grew exponentially when vaccine information started to be actively censored on the largest social media platforms and you think that is because there wasn’t enough censorship? People were literally driven into antivax information silos because a bunch of idiots decided that vaccine criticism should be forbidden in the public square

Wow.
That's very neat!

Personally, these days I have less of a need for that kind of thing, given that I can just plug the camera or disk into my phone directly (I suspect a powered USB hub and plugging in both at the same time might even work as well?), but I vaguely recall dedicated "copy everything off this card onto a hard drive" devices being sold, and I don't doubt that some photographers still use these in their workflow.
In theory, it could re-invest those profits into the company, in hopes of further gains down the road. (But like all things, there's a healthy balance.) In practice, I think the answer is "executive bonuses" and [short-term] "stock buybacks".

(But morally I agree; there is no reason every company has to be Scrooge, and I think it's to their long-term unprofitability to be so, by effectively ensuring a lack of experience & growth within the employees generating the value in the first place.)
Could you articulate in what ways it is patchy?

I have worked with passenger rail transport. Knowing the quirks of that domain, I am quite impressed with air travel software. Anecdotally, I have rarely heard of cases of «Computer says no» in air travel, which are abundant in most other domains.
This sounds like you are missing important context. Here is a similar conversation:

"Why do I have to use the system button class. I implemented my own and it works."

"Because when the OS updates with new behavior your button may break or not get new styling and functionality"

"But this works and meets the spec, that's 10x harder"
I'll just explain solar cells really quick then. The gist is that solar-cells are nearly constant-voltage, until you draw too much current and then suddenly they drop to useless-levels of voltages. The scary part is that the clouds change this point severely.

So a 60W Solar Panel might be 12V 5-Amps in the best case scenario (directly pointed at the sun during clear skies). If you draw 5.1-Amps, suddenly the voltage drops all the way to 0.7V or some other nearly useless level.

What is annoying about solar panels is that this point changes depending on temperature, shadows, and other conditions. As the sun sets and hits the solar panel at a shallower angle with dimmer afternoon light, it might drop to 12V 2-Amps, and of course at night it will drop to 12V 0.01Amps or less.

---------

A MPPT circuit "tracks" this point where you can obtain the maximum amps at the maximum voltage (or really: the maximum volts * amps), and changes the current draw of the effective circuit to "find" this point.

It requires some kind of power-sink (ie: hooking it up to the wall power and assuming wall-power can take infinite amounts of energy). Or more likely, a lead-acid battery or LiFePo4 charging circuit that can "store the extra energy dump".
Possibly! Though I think one of the purported strengths of a structured editor is that it restricts the ability to create invalid syntax. What you're editing really isn't _text_, per se. But you could definitely get halfway there with what you describe. That would be pretty interesting.

Fruit smoothies are an interesting case of a "sugar beverage" which doesn't quite act how you'd think. Intuitively, you'd think that speedy ingestion of that much fructose with all its fiber obliterated in a blender could potentially cause spikes in blood glucose. However this study showed that when the fruits had seeds, like blackberries and raspberries, the glucose peak was lower with blended fruit than whole.
