removing regulatory power from Federal agencies has long been a goal of the Right & it’s Big Business backers. history shows us lack of Federal regulatory power has generally meant things like labor relations injustices & tainted meat run rampant.

What the Court says today is that the plaintiffs couldn’t show any plausible potential injury to their consciences from the FDA making #mifepristone easier for doctors to prescribe and thus easier for patients to obtain. The FDA’s regulations do not require to the plaintiffs to do or not do anything. Not liking what others do is not an injury to their consciences. 4/

"Margaret Hamilton talks about her experiences over the last 60 years and how a “theory of errors” was derived from the errors made along the way. [...] The pressing issues haven’t gone away, largely because the traditional paradigm continues in force. With a preventative paradigm, most errors aren’t allowed into a system in the first place, just by the way the system is defined."

And here's my occasional Fedi outreach about my dream retrocomputer - does anyone have a Sun Ultra 45 they are willing to part with? I'm just a sad, pathetic person living in Arctic Sweden who has been trying for more than two decades (!!) to get his hands on one.
Boosts are definitely love.

Obama’s social networking was the real revolution NYT (2008):
"More profoundly, while many people think that President-elect Obama is a gift to the Democratic Party, he could actually hasten its demise. Political parties supply brand, ground troops, money and relationships, all things that Obama already owns."
Kind of sounds like what happened to the Republicans 8 years later with ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2024/06/13/obamas-social-networking.html

Dear Pharrell,
Per your prompt to "clap along if you feel like a room without a roof": I don't really feel qualified to say what that feeling is, and it would therefore be disingenuous of me to engage in clapping. I also feel "happiness is the truth" is a little too vague to warrant an unequivocal answer. For that matter, I'm also not really sure what happiness is to me, either, so I think it's best I abstain from clapping for the time being until further clarity is achieved on my part.

I just remembered that part of the motivation for developing Starlink was that SpaceX needed customers.
"But the reverse is also true: SpaceX’s reusability quest depends on Starlink. The company’s ability demonstrate rapid reuse of boosters requires a demand for launches of them that has come primarily from Starlink. Last year, when SpaceX performed 96 Falcon launches, 63 of them were devoted to Starlink. "
Which is cute, but perhaps circular?

Also, I've said this before, but I'm still struggling to believe that throwing satellites into decaying orbits is a more cost effective way to provide internet access in the long run than a proper investment in fiber and related infrastructure. It feels like this makes sense only from a capitalist seeking returns on investment perspective assuming monopolistic capture of a market.

Megaconstellations like Starlink will increase atmospheric aluminum oxide amounts to 646% over natural levels ( +360 metric tons / year ).
It will take up to 30 years for the aluminum oxides to drift down to stratospheric altitudes, where 90% of Earth's ozone is located.
Once there aluminum oxide will act as a catalyst with chlorine harming the ozone layer.

Who had that mighty arm? That split the stone, pulled loose the blade? For on a rocky shore, a crack describes this feat of strength.
The lichen split those rocks, my lord, & made the soils from the stone.
And where now is that blade? In this Lichen’s hand, our future king? Where now lives a hero who the ancient rocks must fear?
Seek the crustose crown of ivory foam, fruticose tendrils ring the dome— in golds & greens:a regal mold.

I'm sick of roguelikes.
I'm sick of luck.
I'm sick of "challenges" that are just retrying over and over, waiting for the perfect combination of unlikely events.
I'm sick of situations where it's not possible to win; where no amount of skill or preparation will ever matter.
It's not fun. It's not interesting.
Just going through the motions, hoping chance lets you by this time. But it never does.
Another all-but-hopeless restart.
Maybe tomorrow.
Life shouldn't be so much of a roguelike.
