Precedent works by analogy. What matters is not just the outcome of a particular case, but the reasoning. When similar legal questions come up in future cases, lower courts are required to cite this case and follow the same reasoning, to the extent the reasoning applies to the facts of that case. Of course, no two cases have exactly the same facts, and different facts may produce a different outcome. But if a future case is similar enough to this one, the lower court will be expected to compare the two cases and explain why the differences in facts justify a different outcome.

No legal question is resolved for sure until it reaches the Supreme Court, but most cases never make it there, instead being resolved by lower courts applying higher courts' precedents.
If the US government were politically pressured to shrink their military budget, that would make more money available for Medicare/Education/SSA/Infrastructure, etc. That would be way more beneficial than taxing Netflix more.
I fear that you will remain disappointed, because no prescriptive specification of law written by legislators can be detailed enough to catch every edge case.

If your democratically elected legislators don't like a bench ruling, they are free to make a new law that specifically overrides that ruling. The legislature is the ultimate source of authority in the land. The courts only have a bit of wiggle room in interpreting unclear statutes.

The system is designed well. Unfortunately, democratically elected legislators at the moment would rather obstruct, wreck, and go on wild-ass conspiracy rants, than legislate.

If that legislature spent half the time it complains about activist judges actually drafting law, it would have nothing to complain about. If you, as a constituent are unhappy about the current state of affairs, vote in legislators who are willing to do their job.
> Netflix annual revenue for 2020 was $24.996B, a 24.01% increase from 2019.

Would they go to the trouble of making themselves 25 different companies?

There might be a way for lawmakers to figure this out...

Since getting my first LG I have not gone back. I just picked up an almost new LG v40 for 125 bucks on ebay and there is no need for nything faster in my opinion. It will be sad to see them go. I mean in a month or two you can get the v60 for 259 I bet. Probably not after they stop making their phones. I have two LG televisions in my home that are over ten years each and they still work perfectly also. In fact, I m using one for a monitor I am typing to right now.
Europe has a consistent plug but it is different than what is typical in NA (CCS type 1 vs type 2)
Usually there tends to be a description connecting the music to a specific kind of emotion, but it could also be a generic music symbol that leaves the person to imagine something in its place. Deaf people can still feel a subset of the vibrations that sound creates (usually the low end bass frequencies played with a higher power output). So a subset of such deaf people may be able to relate to certain sounds with certain emotional content too. The number of humans who cannot hear is a union of two sets – those who were born without the ability to hear and those who could hear but lost it at some point in life. The closed captioning indicators for music leave it to the imagination of the person.
Thanks, yes I have been following fodmap for years now and reduced my gluten intake as well and that has helped a bit. Although its only recommended for 3 to 6 months.

I am an Indian engineer in a tech company in Austin and out of the 8 people in my team 7 are Indians / Asians in their late 20s / early 30s who all followed roughly the same career trajectory (Undergrad in India / China from one of 2-3 universities, followed almost immediately by Masters in the US followed by joining tech jobs in the last 7-8 years).

The eighth guy is a white American guy in his 40s who grew up in Alabama, was in the US Air Force for a bit, then did his undergrad in an unrelated field from a relatively unheard-of university, then self-taught programming and worked a few odd IT jobs before landing here.

If you ask me, he is the true source of diversity in the team, but pretty sure none of the teams tasked with increasing diversity see it that way.
That doesn't match the economics at any company I've seen. Dev payroll of $1mm/yr gets you something like 6 devs or fewer in the US.

It certainly is easy to make a mess of it with C/C++. It can be done well and safely but there are no guard rails. I have written this code in C and trusted it to run as intended and it did. I wouldn’t stake human lives on it but that wasn’t my requirement at the time. Val grind and other code analysis tools certainly didn’t complain and I had no memory leaks. Rust didn’t exist at the time. One specific project wrangled about 1000 worker threads, a logging thread, a network server thread, a signal processing thread, and a main control thread to the tune of a very large number of requests per second on commodity hardware. In running it for I think 4 years I had one memory leak initially that Valgrind quickly found. Could probably write that service with a lot fewer LOCs today with a language like Rust of course and with all kinds of memory safety. But at the time it worked well. Oh and it had to do all kinds of fun low level networking stuff with elevated privileges so double danger :)

I view a pandemic like what happens in an airline emergency. The first thing you do is put on your own oxygen mask to make sure you are stabilized before helping others. It sounds selfish, but if the most powerful options lose control because they are busy helping others then they can cause everyone to lose.

Also, let me say that I'm not saying it's all rainbows and butterflies out there. I just think about all the things that were going to end humankind in my lifetime alone, yet here we are arguably in the best position we have ever been to fight something like this. As a kid we were genuinely afraid of nuclear war. Then there was the HIV epidemic. Y2K, tech bubble busting, 2008 financial crisis, and all the smaller things in between I'm forgetting about.

I look out and see the people on ground sharing information, being incredibly cooperative, and trying to stabilize their situation so then they can effectively help others. That is why I'm optimistic we'll work through this.

I believe the strongest, first order, signal for a rally that sticks will be when there's a somewhat effective treatment for the virus that can be deployed in a scalable way. This will mean that the healthcare systems will be under less pressure as they will be operating in a different mode and that will mean that restrictions that have a negative economic impact will be lifted.

Until then, there's always the prospect of resurgence of the virus once restrictions are lifted, and that will keep the lid on the markets.

If there's strong news of effective treatments in the short term, that may kick off a sustained rally soon.

Of course the other things you mention are very valid too and will have positive effects, and may be "the one".

People don't wear N95 masks here, they wear cheap masks you can pick up in any drug store for just a few coins.

How would an entire country obtain N95 masks and training and proper fitting (it's done by trained fitters) and dispose of them properly, and do that daily? (if not more often)

Every time I go out I see the cheapo ones left in the street because there's a vague notion they should be disposed of "properly" so I don't see this idea working at all.
If you can wait a couple of months, Moo show up at Silicon Milkroundabout, a startup jobs fair in London. You can order your business cards and get them sent there. In fact, I think the last few times you get 100 free or something. The event is free plus it might be a good networking event for you.

Docker does handle snapshots of running processes.
It's called checkpoint/restore, it utilizes the CRIU tooling to do this.

In terms of doing this in a CI env like actions where you may have different types of machines serving you, it may be problematic as the machine specs need to pretty closely match.
There's nothing in international law that makes that automatic.

It would create an interesting open question how the IMF would respond. In practice, it won't happen because raising the question would (as you noted) bea colossally stupid move for the US for global influence reasons. They have a lot of leverage from being the printer of the world's currency-of-record.
So, if you apply some critical thought here, you might observe that the equitable math may be talking about the right answer in terms of the process. Not questioning whether 1+1=2 is wrong, but whether it make sense to test students on that or try to teach kids to get to 1+1=2. What do you think is better in a class room? The final answer or the process?
'The State' is not a single entity. And moreover the proponents of this type of education are glad to argue in bad faith that it isn't included in the curriculum while inserting it into textbooks and including the practices in teachers workshops.

We are at a crossroads between those who argue in good faith and those that argue in bad faith because they believe their means is acceptable for the ends they hope to achieve.
I left it out because I struggled with how to say it and still don’t know the right way to tell it. I did become a software developer, and I did greatly enjoy my time at Microsoft. It wasn’t happily ever after, but at least it was happily until it wasn’t. He died 15 years later of a brain injury he sustained in a car accident that occurred around the same time we had that encounter. Just awful luck, having nothing to do with anything. I totaled my first car too, only difference was I didn’t hit my head the same way.
Absolutely. I value my time spent working on hobby projects and end up paying money per hour I spend on it -- as far as I'm concerned it's worth every cent!

Honest question: is there any place in the US where electricity is subsidized or has discriminatory pricing?
The Abrahamic week did end on Saturday, which they probably got originally from the Vedic calendar as that is older and also has the last day of the week on a Saturday, but Constantine moved the sabbath to coincide with his existing sun worship, so since then the situation has been confused and so calendars vary on which day to end with. In the UK you can generally find both examples on sale if you shop around.

Nah, unfortunately that algorithm does not magically make bitmaps scale. The image example they gave is grossly misleading. It works well on certain types of sparse information in Fourier space.
> once almost-as-intelligent-as-a-human level is reached the next step is not that far fetched - quantity, multiple times faster than humans learning and we have progression on a different scale.

But this doesn't necessarily follow. The experience of a mind working at a higher speed will be a slowing down of time -- imagine what you'd do if time slowed down. The machine will not necessarily learn more (we might have a limit of how much we can learn), and will probably experience boredom and frustration (as everything around it will be slow) that might drive it crazy.

author here. I didn't knew about WeChat since it is not popular here in Brazil.

Using a QR to facilitate login is not a bad decision. Having this as the only method to authenticate makes it a bad client because it can't work as a standalone offering.

I don't like when "web clients" are not full featured in the sense of allowing registration and login. Look at Evernotes, you can register and use thru the web client interface, there is no need for the app if you're on a platform that is not supported.
That wasn't "saying no".

RIM cares about it's customers - the carriers and their retail stores.

I'm starting to get perturbed by how much control we relinquish from the consumer - Apple didn't force anyone to wait in line, people did it cause they wanted the device.

There's a price for everything and anyone could have traded their time/money for an iPad earlier, all up to how much you wanted the device.
Some people I've never heard of said no to a small amount of angel money? Stop the presses.
We already have "A centrally-controlled, government-sanctioned/mandated fork of the protocol". It's called the federal reserve system and it is very networked, efficient, etc. and has almost none of the features of bitcoin because it doesn't need them. All the features of bitcoin are there so it isn't possible for any one entity to centrally control it. It would be ridiculous for a fork to be created that would be centrally controlled. It would be like saying someone should fork open office and turn it into a submarine control system.

My grandfather worked at a state prison in NH. He was friends with an inmate who made the prison his home. Whenever his sentence ended, he would break into a house and wait for the owner to find him and call the police to take him back to prison. He was a pretty nice guy, and fairly smart - he even helped critique the first electronic security system at the prison. (He picked the lock with a ballpoint pen and walked into the warden's office to tell him exactly what was wrong with the system!)

> The cores start to throttle at 70C, which is far hotter than even the hottest garage.

Thermal dissipation however is proportional to delta-T (change in temperature).

A 25C ambient will provide delta-T of 45C, but a 35C ambient will provide a delta-T of 35C: so your 35C ambient garage will reduce performance by at least 22% compared to 25C.

----

Note that Intel chips can go all the way to 95C or 100C, making cooling a far easier problem. So you're already dealing with a lower Delta-T when you use these AMD chips that throttle at 70C. (To be fair: AMD and Intel's measurement systems are a bit different, so we can't compare them directly. But IIRC, most people have a slightly easier time cooling Intel chips).

This headline strikes me as a shift burdening users themselves with finding bad actors. Even the statement from e.g. Twitter, make it seems so:

"We think it’s important for people to be aware that this exists out there and that they review the apps that they use to connect to their accounts,” said Lindsay McCallum, a Twitter spokeswoman."

But I would argue that users who fall for these nefarious services should not be the lookout. Instead the trust should be placed on teams at Facebook and Twitter that vet the bad actors, e.g. oneAudience.

I understand vulnerabilities abound and moderation is hard, and educating users is important. I'm just irked a bit that the accountability is shifted here.

It seems that a lot of economics as it’s used for political decisions is way oversimplified to the point of being useless or just plain wrong. The minimum wage issue is an example where reality is much more subtle and complex than what a lot of economists in the news say. Same for tax cuts for upper incomes that were supposed to spur investments in new technologies but seem to have done more to drive up asset prices. Or the argument that lower health care prices will drive up utilization.

I am sure there are a lot of economists that do great work but economics as it’s used in public discourse is just abysmal.
This product says it detects (doesn't prevent) tonic-clonic seizures. Epilepsy covers such a wide array of conditions. Tonic-clonics are the type of seizure that people envision when they think about seizures (unconscious on the ground convulsing), but there are so many other types - absence seizures, for instance, result in a person appearing to just stare off into space. There are many products that aim to detect tonic-clonic seizures.

My almost 7 year old was diagnosed with a form of epilepsy at age 3.5. It's luckily mostly controlled at the moment with a 3:1 keto diet and a cocktail of drugs, but it's been a long few years. We've dealt with many, many tonic-clonics over those years, as well as other types. By far the most common for us (dozens or more per day at times) has been myoclonic seizures, resulting in a sudden jerk of some muscle. This might result suddenly dropping whatever you're grasping in your hand, or suddenly ending up with a wet shirt after the liquid you just drank falls back out of your mouth. But the worst by far have been the atonic seizures - complete loss of muscle tone and consciousness for a brief moment resulting in a standing person falling face-first in to the pavement with no protective reflexes. It's hard to describe the feeling of helplessness as a parent when this happens to your child.

Anyway, mostly venting. It's nice to see any acknowledgment of epilepsy in more general outlets. Not sure I'd consider this solving epilepsy, though.
Hmm... I (was born in 1982 and lived in Moscow) never heard of such deal and American books in libraries...
Supreme Court decisions are the next-best thing to black-letter law. It is important to clarify what the law has been decided to be, once and for all. Lower-court rulings have no shortage of legal jargon and terms of art with meanings that conflict with everyday meanings of those same words, because they're just part of the sausage making that is drafting and interpretation of the law. SCOTUS rulings can have these too, as the other responder indicated, but there's just fewer of them (and more clarifying language where necessary) because again, a SCOTUS ruling is a proclamation to the people, once and for all, of what the law has been settled to be.
> I am one of the lucky cases where I experience basically zero side effects and it's been 2 years so far.

The reality is that most (but not all, obviously) people don't have terrible side effects from modern antidepressants.

It's difficult because most people who take antidepressants without issue simply don't talk about it. Partially because they don't feel like advertising their mental health struggles, but also because there simply isn't much to talk about when you simply take a medication and it just works.

> I always have this concern though that these meds must be doing something sketchy to my brain chemistry.

Given how long they've been in use and how widespread they are, we would have seen any blatant negative effects by now. SSRIs have been in use since the 80s and the antidepressants before that were far less selective.

If anything, the research points to SSRIs being helpful in repairing or reversing damage caused by depression.
