100%. Vendor drop BSP releases with no upstream plans are so annoying. Getting proper usage of IPs on the SoC is hard, if not impossible, when not using the "blessed" kernel by the vendor. Even when using what's blessed it can be a pain. depending on what kind of integration you are doing.
I was on a run last night and noticed the glow. How many times has that battery plant caught fire? Seems like grid scale battery technology is not ready for the lime light. AB 2514 forced utilities to build out this dumpster fire. It's ironic that California's climate solution is burning while the state blames climate change for the LA fire.
Does Iowa have the same heavy handed government regulations to strictly build out renewables and take non renewable power plants offline?
I agree with you, Texas has the most renewables, and power is relatively cheap. The problem is the strict regulations prevent utilities from make better economical decisions.
Agreed, some are easy to classify like nude content, but what about a website about war history, that content is simultaneously factual and explicit. This is why I say its up to the website owner to register for the blacklist. That in itself has an incentive to reduce the surface of liability of the website.
Social media is a hard problem. What is exactly the issue? Is it creating a larger social hierarchy than children can cope with? Is it meeting and interacting with strangers? Is it reinforcing dopaminergic pathways from superficial digital content and approvals?
This is a very complex problem. Its not just social media, but porn and other content that is not intended for young eyes.
One issue I have is with the age verification system. This will either be totally ineffective or overly effective and invasive. I feel legislation is drifting towards the latter with the requirement of ID.
One idea I had is a managed dns blacklist of inappropriate content. The government can have a requirement that a website register their site in this list to operate, otherwise they are subject to litigation for their content. At the same time have isps and network gear support this list in a 1 click type fashion. I have multiple dns blacklists I use at home. I know this may be a little more technical for the parents and guardians, but that is the world we are living in.
Limitations being:
Section 230 - user posts explicit content and the site isn't in the blacklist.
Network scope - This blacklist will have to be added to all networks accessed by children. What about public wifi? coffee shops?
IDK, I love being able to be anonymous online, but I do see the negative effects of social media, porn, and explicit content on our youth. I don't really trust the government to solve this effectively.
Outcomes change as the needs of the municipality change. Members get voted in and out. Do you think there is a misalignment between the city council and the constituents? Or is this what the residents want?
I think most municipalities see growth as a general good. The issue starts when the cost of growth starts to outweigh the benefits. Roads/water/utilities/waste management are all municipal services that need to be able to handle the growth.
I don’t understand how more state control is preferable. I live in California and the state government is not very in tune to the needs of my locality and seems very corrupt.
Some cities do not want housing/population growth. Why is that not okay?
I feel like class status trends with age in the US. The younger folks have had less time to acquire assets. The older folk who worked hard and invested wisely are benefiting from said decisions. I think the income and wealth inequality is a type of motivation, I can see what I can attain with an opportunistic and hard working mindset. This kind of economic mobility is the beauty of the US system.
I think the better question is, Which entity can better allocate the capital? The government or the billionaire? Given the historic track record of government spending I would argue the we are much better with the capital staying in the private sector. As a bonus, if capital is grossly misallocated in the private sector, the company may go out of business, and those resources are freed up the the highest bidder. When the government grossly misallocates resources, the burden falls on the tax payer and rarely gets fixed in any reasonable time horizon.
I don't like how diversity seems to default to racial diversity. The diversity I like is more perspective based. Someone willing to challenge my assumptions, constraints, and train of thought, not just a different color of skin.
Hmmm. Changes the scope of public view with a bird eye view.
Begs a bigger question about property ownership and airspace. How high off the land you own is yours? Is flying a drone over a fence the same as climbing a fence for the officer?
I’m all for using technology when proper guardrails are in place to prevent misuse
Oh the unintended consequences of government regulations. CAFE and Section 179 incentivize larger vehicles, so the market reacts rationally and fills that demand.
