In fairness 29 US states or territories have minimum wage higher that that federal minimum of $7.25/hour

Still nearly every state’s minimum wage is still too low.

partial_accumen , to technology in Hyundai Motors Announces Intent to Share Tesla Charging Infrastructure

Yeah, they’ll be beholden to Tesla in order to use Superchargers, just like they’re beholden to Electrify America to use their chargers,

I’m not following what you’re trying to say. That use of “beholden” usually means “trapped” or “obligated”. If most of North America is using NACS chargers (Tesla and other brands too), then where is the trap? A consumer can simply use another brand of charger is a NACS connector (of which there will be many brands). With the open standards its not like there is a lock on who can make a charger or where that charger can be placed. If anything, most Tesla chargers are not on the best real estate.

What is your concern with all EV companies in North America using NACS once it is ratified by the SAE as a true open standard?

That was my conclusion from the article too, but where I’m interested in is if the amyloid build up causes permanent damage to the brain, causing dementia, or with the removal of amyloid (which was never possible before) does the patient gain back anything they lost?

It seems surprising they left that answer out as it is very compelling to how the disease actually works.

“should we use an open standard for this new plug?”

“No, no. Make sure we as a society are beholden to one company forever until about the end of the year .”

Fixed that for you.

First, the signally protocol used for all non-Tesla cars at superchargers CCS, which is already an open standard. Tesla cars made after 2022 can also talk CCS to all non-Tesla chargers (with a cheap retrofit for many pre-2022 Tesla cars).

Second, the NACS physical connector is going through SAE standardiztion right now as we speak and that is expected to be complete about the end of the year. If you like you can already start calling it the open standard SAE J3400.

It cleared amyloid plaques completely from the brain in some participants, who were then taken off the drug.

What was the result to the patient outcomes? Did the patients return to pre-demenia state or did their demenia progress simply halt when all the amyloid is cleared (from those patients that got completely cleared of amyloid)?

partial_accumen , to news in How a Vast Demographic Shift Will Reshape the World

At least in the USA, the various world crises in the 1960s were quite a bit worse for the prospects of your new born children. We just had the Cuban Missile Crisis where we got closer to global thermal nuclear war than ever in history. The war was raging in Vietnam where young men were dying. The Soviet Union was flexing its power in Eastern Europe where they had just rolled tanks into Czechoslovakia. China had detonated their first Hydrogen bomb.

Frankly it looked pretty bleak then where there was a chance you and your entire family would die in nuclear hellfire potentially any day.

Interestingly, the richer a country gets, the fewer kids it gives birth to. When there’s a good chance you’re going to lose 3 to 4 children before they reach adulthood to hunger, war, disease, or general violence you hedge your bets by having 5-12 kids. Also historically, you need more kids to work your land/trade to support the family.

In an advanced economy you don’t need to have kids for either one of those reasons. Further, life is pretty good without raising kids so yet another group decide not to become parents. The big drop of fertility rate in the US happened in the early 70s likely before most people reading and posting here were born.

Its not all that kids are too expensive to raise in modern economies. Its partly sure, but not even the largest part.

I don’t see that going well for those headscarf police. The populace isn’t putting up with it anymore. Those police are going to be beaten up pretty badly at least.

partial_accumen , to mildlyinfuriating in Boss man said I have to listen to all the voicemails on the phone.

This right here. You get paid either way. Since its just voice mail, there’s no reason you need to sit in an office for this work. Go to the beach, the mountains, or forest with a second device to turn on some nice music. Bring a cooler with your favorite beverages and a picnic lunch. Kick back with your sunglasses on, and start listening to those Voice Mails.

Boss: “Where have you been for the past 3 days?!”
You: “Doing exactly what you told me to; listening to the voice mails. I even my notes sorted them into categories for you. There is apparently some really diligent people interested in letting us know about our car warranty.”

partial_accumen , to nostupidquestions in Is there any more ethical solution to our current circumstances than "murder all billionaires"?

Raise taxes on people making billions of dollars a year.

I believe higher taxation on the wealthy is necessary, but how do we actually implement that?

Our tax code is base upon “realized gains”. Most of these billionaires aren’t actually getting deposits into their checking accounts for a billion dollars a year. Most their wealth and their gains come in the value of their assets increasing (stock is one example of an asset). The tax code does tax them when they sell the stock to get money to deposit in their checking accounts, and the billionaires do that, but just not with very much money. Certainly nothing even close to a billion dollars in a single year.

So how do you tax them? Do you tax them on the value of their assets? If the value of their assets goes down, do you give the tax money back? All of these questions and more would need to be answered for a coherent tax code that could be enforced. I don’t have the answers, but I’m very open to those that do.

partial_accumen , to nostupidquestions in [Solved] Is there anything funky going on with comment replies?

EDIT: SOLVED - Another poster listed the solution. There is a dialogue box below the text area listing “Select Language”. Once I selected “English” my post is posted.

I’m experiencing something similar. Here’s my data:

  • Replying to a post in this thread
  • When I put in my text and hit “Reply” the “Reply” button displays a rotating partially open circle graphic, but never posts.
  • The edit/preview buttons still work, but “reply” keeps spinning.
  • Refreshing the page show the reply didn’t post.
  • I came back about 12 hours later and attempted to put the same text as a reply. No success. Still spinning circle on “reply” button.
  • Prior attempts were on Firefox. Instead I opened Chrome and signed in (using incognito) and attempted to post the reply to the same comment. Exact same failure mode in from firefox. Spinning circle on "reply button"
  • I attempted a new text post on the same topic. That was successful.
  • I attempted a reply to my new post. That was successful.
  • I attempted my prior text reply on as a new reply on my new post. That was successful.

So something about the actual user I was replying to will not let me post a reply to that user.

partial_accumen , to explainlikeimfive in What way did the Titan submersible implode?

I don't think anyone has any real data on the failure point, which is the needed info to know how long it would take to die. There has been lots of speculation that the carbon fiber used (rejected by Boeing as being out-of-spec) or the use of dissimilar materials each with different thermal expansion and contraction coefficients, to the "bubble window" being way under spec because the CEO didn't want to pay for a proper spec one.

Without those we don't know exactly how fast. We don't know if they passengers had any indication of a problem (sounds?) or if it started leaking before it imploded or if it was an instant catastrophic failure.
