Buses aren’t that sexy but they are probably a good compromise for cities like LA. They don’t require a ton of infrastructure and can still remove lots of cars from the road. Make them convenient (better bus stop UX, wait time no more than 10 minutes, GPS track them, modernize them) and people will consider buses.

Send surveys to all the biggest companies in the city to figure out specifically the routes that need to be created.
The thing is - you might be right. Or you might be completely wrong - these discussions happened almost 30 years ago - even if Russia was allowed into NATO when it was originally planned, its descent into autocracy might have caused it to be kicked out, or it might have left on its own accord. Or it might have decided to attack Ukraine anyway, even while itself still in NATO. I wouldn't be so hasty to declare that if only Russia was let into NATO 30 years ago this war wouldn't have happened - we don't know.
Cooperation is never a zero sum game compared to non-cooperation.

Surgery for hemorrhoids sounds like trying to cure the symptom.

There is something going wrong in your body that has hemorrhoids as a downstream effect. Surgery can't fix the root cause.

If you have constipation then consider the following: the large intestine has bacteria that process your undigested food and this can have many nasty consequences. What is going wrong in the small intestine that leads to this?
I'm curious where you see Libya fitting in this pattern.

Personally I'm more inclined to believe that the ally-turned-foe's invasion serves as a convenient excuse for the US to attack, rather than the root cause. One thing that at least Gadaffi and Saddam have in common is nationalizing their oil industry. This to me seems like a much more believable reason for US aggression.

>I haven't reached a conclusion as to what it was in that approach that led Europe to becoming the dominant power of the last five hundred years

500 years is a blink. Anatomically modern humans have existed for 150,000 years, yet civilizations as we understand them are at most 5000 years old. You are comparing two continents that have been isolated during that timespan, with different geography, diseases, and domesticable animals, and which developed a virtually independent separate history until the 1500s. How can you assert that all of this is irrelevant and that it was pure "Northern European superiority" or whatever that meant European colonialism was successful?

Your comment sounds reasonable, but it doesn't allow for nuance.

If a hellish residency improves patient outcomes by 0.1%, at the expense of every single resident suffering twice as much as they need to (and likely leading to some stimulant addictions and deaths among the resident/doctor population), that's not a fair tradeoff.

Medical workers don't exist solely to sacrifice themselves for others; they are humans also and their needs should be weighed as important like everyone else's.

As it so happens I think some of the strain of medical residency is related to supply shortages in the health care industry. If it's not crystal clear that working 80+ hours per week is necessary to significantly improve patient outcomes, and it is clear that working 80+ hours per week makes a lot of people choose other careers (limiting supply artificially), then reform here is imperative.
That's quite a jump of conclusion. Astonishing actually.

First of all, poors, worldwide, are the vast majority by any measure you pick.

So poors, becoming majority, is a no point. Moot.

Now, to another point. Poor prospering.

Have you ever considered that poor prospering can actually be a good thing? More consumption, more taxes being collected across, more wealth spread and circulating on the economy. More opportunities for the poor, and the rich, who will have a broader audience to become more rich?

And now to the subsides. Think this improvement on wealth circulation as a business, a good business outcome, shall we? As so many business, owned by riches, which make riches more rich, are already heavily subsided by governments across the globe for so many reasons (internal/external).

It's not such a big leap for yes, to advocate to some sort of subside to improve poor's situation.

Your comment sounds very classist. A true symptom of the very problem we're and will be dealing with.
It's not really a hot take when it's the general consensus.

> NATO, while being hostile towards Russia attempted to expand to Ukraine, which is just not acceptable at all.

That literally didn't happen. Ukraine and Georgia sought NATI membership, and in the 2008 NATO summit were (largely at Russia’s urging) rebuffed from being given Membership Action Plans; Russia immediately invaded Georgia, and Ukraine abandoned pursuit of NATO membership.

Then, in 2014, the Ukrainian people threw out the pro-Russian leadership that had come to power in the interim. Russia invaded large swathes of the country and, after that, Ukraine’s government again started seeking NATO membership.

There were no approaches by either side being made before the invasion. Pro-Russian propagandists like to pretend the 2022 escalation was the initial Russian invasion, ignoring most of the time the war has been being fought, so that they can blame the war starting on Ukraine’s response to the invasion by which Russia actually started the war.
Yes, you did forget a scenario where a EU, US and possibly other countries military presence is on the table as a threat to deter further escalations by Russia, but does not actually occur.

To be more specific, you give Ukraine what it needs to freeze the current lines, a cease fire is signed, Russia gets to stop fighting while saving face, and the unoccupied part of Ukraine gets what would amount to NATO membership without formally joining .

The status of the occupied territories remains ambiguous, with the West and Ukraine banking on a change in leadership in Russia at some point in the future.

As far as I can tell, this is the type of deal that Zelensky thought he came to DC for.

If France can keep Sweden from resuming their own nuclear weapons program, they don't have to worry about getting into a nuclear war with Sweden 40 years from now. (Unthinkable? So was Sweden joining a mutual defense alliance like NATO.)

Drones make nukes obsolete anyway. After you nuke a country its generals no longer have any incentive to surrender; they have nothing to go home to when they leave their bunkers.

Maybe I misunderstood. I took the first bullet to refer to wrapping operations in a lock and the second to refer to single writer multiple reader.

At least in the single writer scenario it all breaks down if a lock free reader requires multiple items that are related to one another. It's an easy oversight to make though.

Fixing it sucks because you usually have to go and add locking to your previously fast and efficient lock free setup.

Again, the point is - at that point we're guessing. If Poland gets radioactive fallout on its terittory we don't know how exactly NATO would choose to react.

>>It's not a start nuclear Armageddon article.

I didn't say it was - but Russia "dropping a nuke" brings us closer to the possibility of nuclear war, not futher away from it. And according to people who are actually working with/for NATO, military generals in eastern european countries, it is not completely unlikely that NATO would decide that a strike into Russia(nuclear or not) wouldn't be off the cards if Russian nuclear strike on Ukraine brought fallout into NATO countries - and if such a strike was conducted, we don't know how that ends.

Yeah for sure they were also less likely to end up eating unclean food, involuntarily fall victim to the consequences of war, unable to escape famines (oft related to the former), and countless other such things.

But in many ways I think this is a desirable bias. Because when we look at past vs present life expectancy, what we're mostly interested in, as far as these topics go, is how medical technology is improving things. The implied question is 'What would ones life expectancy be without modern medicine?' And the upper classes of times past basically answer this for us.

The one thing we need to ensure is that we're not picking a literal survivorship bias. So for instance when looking all the way back to Ancient Greece one again finds an average age of death of about 70 years old. But many people point out that if Plato died when he was 20 instead of when he was 80, then we might never have heard of him. So the sample is somewhat biased. This is kind of true, but it's also true that nearly all of these people we would have known about if they died when 40, but anyhow this is all a really annoying and subjective debate - so things like the Founding Fathers are much nicer because there there's 0 argument of survivorship bias.

Did they also control across types of medicine? If the higher-scoring doctors go into types of care which are more competitive, could those practices have lower patient mortality within 7 days?

For example, maybe burn unit care is high-mortality and low-barrier, compared to sleep medicine which is low-mortality and high-barrier (I don't know how accurate this is, just providing some hypotheticals for clarity)
To be brutally frank, then you shouldn't have stopped Europe and the EU from building an independent military for the last few decades.

Like, it's totally fine that the US wants to return to isolation, but don't expect to keep all the benefits of the post 45 world order if you do so.

If I were a US citizen I'd probably be more concerned about the upcoming oil tariffs from Canada, but whatevs.

In theory you could set up a simple sync server that implements the necessary endpoints and nothing more, nothing less. Guides like these run the official, Mozilla-maintained sync server, which is obviously based on serving millions of users rather than being a minimal implementation for someone in a home lab.

One could fork https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs, take out the plumbing, and reimplement it all without a secondary database and the Google Cloud base architecture, I'm sure, but like with so many things, you'd first need to gather a group of people with enough interest and spare time to do the development.
Then they should be happy with Trump who also seems to want to end the war. Considering US was always a war machine this change is surprising.

I don't think that's what's being suggested. Tests not failing when your code does implies that you are missing test cases. In other words things are underspecified.

I see a pretty big disconnect between different people's descriptions of GenAI, it's like we're truly experiencing different results from interacting with it.

Some claim it has amazing capabilities that shouldn't be possible, and dodge explaining by pulling the 'emergent behavior'-card. Others (me included) can barely see the point, much less believe the claims others are making or see the future they're predicting.

Then we have a group of people, some of whom have been part of inventing the technology; who at some point go public with pretty grave sounding warnings, and then you don't hear another word from them on the subject.

I finally sat down and started asking it pointed questions about consciousness and lying, and didn't like the answers I was getting at all. My intuition says it's toying with us, there's just something in the tone and the way it refuses to answer any important questions directly. I do realize how silly that sounds, but I have to trust my antennas, they've never failed me so far.
