With all due respect, the firm's data is 100% anecdotal and I would say meaningless. There's no reliable data on this question since there's no control studies (and can't be) on the relative merits of filing EB1As with or without premium processing. We file 99% of our EB1As with premium processing because most of our clients don't want to wait 6 months to hear back from USCIS.

I wonder how much of Ferris' latency is related to net speed and rendering speed / computational horsepower of their local machine. I've seen several different evaluation regimes which try to objectively measure web-site "responsiveness" independent of net and rendering speed. Maybe the OP could use one of them to show how different sites were using techniques that unduly reduce the perceived performance of their site.

Think about what happens if you're on a site that loads hundreds of images and has keep-alive explicitly turned off. Or if you're doing a TLS handshake across a high latency network (TLS, for all it's benefits, requires at least one back-and-forth to setup the secure transport before sending "content.") Or you have a weird / inefficient dynamic loading process. Each of these will cause perceived latency, but have different solutions.

I tend to agree with the OP, it certainly seems like sites I use on a regular basis are laggy, but we may need a more objective evaluation framework than "ugh. the web is slow." And who knows, maybe most of the problem could be solved by getting the OP a better ISP and a faster machine.

I wish the press would dedicate ink to the endless War On Meds That Maintain Quality Of Life.

I have a loved one who takes 1x/day of lowest dose of Ambien - and has for years. It's effective for them and is key for their functionality. They have never exceeded their dosage.

Their Dr (2hrs away) was replaced by a Dr who is hostile to responsibly prescribing sleep meds - a reflection of ever reactive medical laws being added to the books every year. It's the primary reason my loved one is migrating to another state.

Another loved one has the exact same story except it's ADHD meds. Their newly assigned Dr is openly hostile to them.

I have the same story as above. After 15y of responsible Adderall use, the practice I use was bought out and my Dr replaced by one who is slowly yielding to the ceaseless gov (DEA, state agencies) pressure stop prescribing ADHD meds.

A close/aging friend has crippling arthritis which he kept at bay with responsible opioid use for years. Until the nuance-less drumming against opioids led to the state to pass a 3-day-max Rx law. Afterward, his choices became black market or crippling pain.

Thankfully, kratom has walked that back somewhat. At least until short-sighted lawmakers take that away too.

Fed & state govs continually ratchet up pressure to abandon these effective meds; our doctors keep giving ground.
"Hardcore anti trans-activists on the right would like to make life so miserable for transpeople as to essentially eliminate them from public life entirely."

You may be right, but the anti-trans backlash in the context of the anti-woke backlash is much wider than just a few hardcore anti-trans activists on the far right. And it mostly revolves around two issues:

a. Very young kids being treated in invasive or hard-to-revert ways on flimsy evidence.

b. People with male musculature competing in women's sports leagues.

If these two things go away, the popular reaction will significantly moderate itself, maybe into gay-marriage-like acceptance levels.

But these two things won't be broadly acceptable anywhere soon, if ever.
If you want an average quality of life you need to compete for it because the average person competes.

Hi! I actually forgot to mention this in the README, thank you for pointing it out.

The app would work for any language, but the definitions and exercises will be written in English. I created a list just now for German words and added the German word "Zeitreise". It generated this definition:

<<"Zeitreise" in a German mystery series means time travel. It refers to the act of a character or characters moving through time, either to the past or the future, often as a central element of the mystery's plot.>>

Exercises were asked in English.

"What does "Zeitreise" mean?":

- Time travel
- Train journey
- Long wait
- Difficult puzzle

Maybe a feature where you can choose the language would be cool. I mean, someone might prefer to learn German using German, or say Spanish using Turkish.

Again, thank you for pointing it out. I will update the README and hopefully add inference language preference feature.

The same is true for people born into war zones not fully under US control. I still wouldn't write this off. All it takes is a compelling argument for a new interpretation of "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof".

It's pretty easy to make a compelling argument.

The 14th Amendment was intended to address the citizenship status of freed slaves and their descendants post-Civil War. It was not meant to apply to the children of immigrants, particularly those who were not legally present or had not pledged allegiance to the U.S.

A stricter interpretation of "subject to the jurisdiction." means it should require complete, exclusive allegiance to the U.S., which might not apply to children of undocumented immigrants due to their parents' legal status or nationality.

You could also argue that the current interpretation dilutes national sovereignty by automatically bestowing citizenship without a clear reciprocal pledge of allegiance from the parents.

The fact that children of diplomats do not automatically gain citizenship due to not being "subject to the jurisdiction" in the fullest sense could be expanded to include children of undocumented immigrants, arguing that these parents, too, are outside full U.S. jurisdiction.

Finally, United States v. Wong Kim Ark was decided under different circumstances. The socio-political context has changed. This could be used to justify revisiting the original interpretation.

>I think that yours "wait, we need to be more cautious about this" or is this just another "I do not care about answers, I just want to pretend so".

I don't know what you're referring to, but if you would like to get specific about it, many authoritative medical organizations, such as the one that presides over Sweden, have declared a halt on procedures such as prescribing puberty blockers to minors. This is an example of a "wait, we need to be more cautious about this", saying that the risks outweigh the benefits.

I made something custom. I can't share the code for it (see my other reply for why), but here's the general deal:

Wedding website was a django site, with accounts for everyone I invited. I had a separate part of it where the guests could choose an RGB colour, and then choose tracks by searching. I used a spotify API for this, so when they chose a track, if someone chose a similar one (say a specific mix) then they could see this and vote for that. Each guest could choose 10 tracks. I used some HTMX for this as well (first time) and it generally worked pretty well. Database stored the spotify ID/UUID/whatever for each track

Once everyone had voted, I then bought all the tracks which we were going to play - reason being that I couldn't rely on WiFi on the day, and wanted to be 100% sure it would work, plus I couldn't "DJ" from spotify tracks.

All of the tracks were then renamed including their spotify ID/UUID/whatever, so the system knew who had voted for a specific track.

I then made the playlist up in Mixxx, and trimmed tracks to fit better, and made it work musically (my wife is excellent at this, she made it really work, mix wise). Made sure it all played OK.

The other part of the system was a custom light setup, with sound-reactive LED bars I made up (using ESP8266 and WLED firmware with 150 LEDs per 'stick') with them all being controlled by a custom controller. This system read the track from the Mixxx system (via HTTP request to a flask app I wrote that read the sqlite dB from mixxx to know what track was playing), and then coloured the lights with the colours of the people who had voted for the tracks. Also if you went onto the dancefloor you could 'swipe in' via an RFID label which was in the wristbands, which also reacted to lights and were colour-controlled over DMX.

The light patterns were sometimes random, or if one was good for a specific track then I programmed that into the system.

It was all spaghetti code, and the first time I used FastAPI. The code is terrible, and I'm only making it public as I thought it might be useful to someone.

What do you mean "a couple days notice?" A couple days notice for optional beta firmware availability for only one model with other models having completely undefined release dates. This supposed "short notice" is factually inaccurate.

You can read the blog post that way if you want and insinuate the most negative possible interpretation, but I'm just going through why I choose not to do that.

For one thing, I'm failing to see how this supposed "walled garden" is going to magically materialize and benefit them financially. The best answer I get from all the alarmed people surrounding this subject is that they'll want to charge monthly fees for premium features in the software, especially to print farm owners.

But they don't operate in a competitive vacuum and that would instantly shift users to their competition. Print farm users pay off their equipment very quickly. I've seen cost breakdowns done by actual print farm operators online and the initial and ongoing machine cost is essentially the smallest part of the cost of doing business. Print farmers would pretty much switch away to other brands instantly if Bambu started charging fees for print farm scale.

If they charge even a Netflix-like fee of someting like $20/month, that essentially pays for a $1000 Prusa printer minus the cost of a Bambu printer in only 3 years. They have no room to charge monthly fees against comptetition.

I think I just dislike the framing that

not investigating something = being dumb

You can just ask if you aren't sure. If I welcomed you into my house, and asked you to turn on the lights, while not telling you it's wired in a three-way switch config where another switch has to be turned on first, I think the dumb solution there is flicking on and off every light switch for 5 minutes till you get it, rather than just asking me. To me, holding the knife up to my phone's flashlight, or gently grazing the side against my palm has the same sort of "why are you doing that" energy everyone wants to avoid.

> To be comparable to natural gas, you need electricity to be about $0.10 per kWh retail. That’s basically the PNW, the mountain west, and parts of the Deep South.

Shouldn't that also take into account the variations in natural gas prices?

Using natural gas rates by state from here [1] and electricity rates by state from here [2], here are the states where the ratio of natural gas price to electricity price is higher than that of Oregon and so should be places where you have the best chance to same money switching from gas to electric.

I like the way I can queue up songs and then let the Auto DJ play. I know other audio players can in principle do that but in Mixx it is very explicit. I also like to see key and BPM just to satisfy my curiosity.
The imprecision is something what I start to call the foreign-correspondent-culture-war-pipeline: Something happens in a country. Because of misunderstandings it becomes a minor topic in public discussion for two days or so. A foreign correspondent starts to write about, because it touches on a culture war topic in their own country. But because any foreign journalism have limited space for context and culture the article has a slightly distorted and abbreviated view. Because a lot of people a monolinguists and of course have little time, that English article becomes the authoritative source for the Anglosphere.

"I learned that the world of men as it exists today is a bureaucracy. This is an obvious truth, of course, though it is also one the ignorance of which causes great suffering.

“But moreover, I discovered, in the only way that a man ever really learns anything important, the real skill that is required to succeed in a bureaucracy. I mean really succeed: do good, make a difference, serve. I discovered the key. This key is not efficiency, or probity, or insight, or wisdom. It is not political cunning, interpersonal skills, raw IQ, loyalty, vision, or any of the qualities that the bureaucratic world calls virtues, and tests for. The key is a certain capacity that underlies all these qualities, rather the way that an ability to breathe and pump blood underlies all thought and action.

“The underlying bureaucratic key is the ability to deal with boredom. To function effectively in an environment that precludes everything vital and human. To breathe, so to speak, without air.

“The key is the ability, whether innate or conditioned, to find the other side of the rote, the picayune, the meaningless, the repetitive, the pointlessly complex. To be, in a word, unborable.

“It is the key to modern life. If you are immune to boredom, there is literally nothing you cannot accomplish.

You could say the same thing about electricity infrastructure, pretty well established and unlikely to increase in cost drastically.

Except with electricity, the likelihood of supply running out is a lot lower because it has a diverse set of generation options, which includes natural gas.

On top of that, you can generate your own electricity at home and store it in batteries (obviously, only if you have a roof you own), and the cost of doing that has only been decreasing.

In his book "The Deep Hot Biosphere" Thomas Gold argued that life probably originated deep underground. Gold is a pretty controversial figure, but this hypothesis makes sense for a number of reasons: the underground environment is a lot more stable than the surface, and the chemistry to extract energy from the chemicals in that environment is a lot simpler than the chemistry to extract energy from sunlight. So it makes sense that underground chemosynthesis would emerge before photosynthesis.
