For 1., again, the standard isn't 'someone might not have known a detail in the story', it's 'does the title represent the story'. If that particular detail is worthy of highlighting, it's easy to find (or even write!) a story about that or point it out in a comment. For 2., that's been the unfortunate case for ages but more importantly, see 1.
"To monitor compliance, we conduct onsite audits, approve corrective action plans, and verify implementation. "

This means nothing in itself.

My wife has worked fairly extensively in the fashion industry and according to her colleagues there's still major UK retailers where things are still being made by children (whose families depend on the income, BTW).

Effective inspections must be:

* unannounced

* unguided (ie, allow the inspector to visit any part of the factory they wish).
Which Apple's don't seem to be.

Otherwise:

* Workers get a crib sheet with answers they give to auditors.

* Anyone who shouldn't be there is let off for the day, making up the time before of after the auditor visits.

* Production outputting chemicals into the environment is ramped up prior to the event, then shut down during it (the dye plants temporarily stopped dumping into rovers during the Beijing Olympics).

What is Jelly? I'm intrigued.
We only need a ball-park estimate of the distance between keys not an exact measurement. Anything better than random should be an improvement.
What if the data in your array are, for example, names?

offset = (key[0] - min) / (max - min)

doesn't seem very hard to me. Or you could even go by the first 2 digits:

offset = (key[0] << sizeof(key[0]) + key[1] - min) / (max - min)

The issue, of course, is that names aren't evenly distributed, so this algorithm could degrade pretty poorly... you'd probably be better off with a simple binary search.
Nice. I love the vim keybindings and markdown support.

There are indeed things that are disputed if they are biblically prohibited or rabbinically. Usually it's not the nature of the item that is disputed but the degree.

But not meat and milk. That has not changed. So if what you are reading is saying that, then yes, it's blatantly wrong.

For example the time delay in between eating meat and milk: That's in dispute. It's a multi level dispute, of: what delay is biblically required (if any), and what how much of a delay is rabbinically required (the two numbers are not the same), and how large a delay is required depending on which food was eaten first, and the type of food (aged cheese, young cheese, or milk).

But eating them together? Absolutely no dispute.

Just as a side note, there is a tendency to say "Rabbinically required, oh that's not as important." But the requirement to obey rabbinical prohibitions is itself biblical. So once a rabbinical edict is accepted it has total and complete force of law with virtually no distinctions between it and biblical edicts.
Here in the USA we're more focused on the important things, like passing identity politics legislation.
I guess it depends on what you call a redesign. They likely need to modify the fins to counter act any new control authority on the upper stage, but other than that I see no reason why the first stage would change.
> Trying to hold down the giant button (which takes quite a bit of force) while trying to drag your finger... ugh. It's miserable.

Not wishing to detract from your personal experience but "quite a bit of force" is at odds to mine - on this M1 MBP, it takes less force to activate the trackpad click than it does to activate a keypress. And once you've clicked, you can use a second figure to drag; no need to try and drag with the force finger (I use my thumb to click for power*, then index to drag for accuracy.)
If I'm reading that study correctly, those figures have an R² of around 0.23, which is quite low for explanatory power of wages as dependent on union membership (quite low as in the "none" or "very low" range)
Sure, but there are definitely more than 436 AAA titles, and decently sized chunk of that tail includes indie games with a reasonable number of sales.

So you’d expect the epic store to have many more games, even if it doesn’t approach the garbage dumpster of steam’s marketplace
Authors choose to publish in these journals. They could choose to publish purely in open source journals and this would be a non-issue.

And “communal resources”? What if a private institution publishes a paper? You have a right to access that free as well? All public ally funded research is already available for free.

I don't think the problem is things you enjoy but don't have skill to match your taste, the issue is identifying things you would enjoy if you had more skill, so you know where it is worth investing the effort to get over the lack of current skill.
That's a sick comment, just like the top one in this thread. You would probably call investing anything in studying Einstein's General theory of Relativity as a waste of money for Indians as well right? That serves to make accurate GPSs, which is an industry in itself, generating employment. Should India wait until feeding the last hungry before making ANY technological progress? Which part of world you are living in?
The code backing things like Numpy and Scipy is not small, has been well optimised over many years, and would be extremely difficult to reimplement at speed even with a faster Python. The freedom high level languages give tends to prevent many low level optimisations that are really useful for big maths and data routines.

For the language I work on we were able to write macros and functions to allow our C libraries to continue to work when we changed our VM, but we've spent considerable effort optimising things so the C has to reach back into objects as little as possible, and we could only do this because recompilation and refactoring was okay.

One of the problems is that net loss is fictional. Companies use well meaning tax credits and deductions to offset income. His point is fair but the specifics need a little tweaking.
By "fix the root cause" you mean shut down uber right? because if all the "solutions" I have seen just in this thread were required (everything from Uber outfitting every car with Hypoallergenic compartments, to paying drivers extra for different types of customers (with out charging extra to the customer ofcourse) ) then the cost of the ride would be so prohibitively expensive that no one would use the service

People seem to have this mythical belief that uber can pay every driver to drive a brand new car, at 100/hr, providing the best service for every customer every time all for 1/2 the price of a taxi

It simply not economically possible

FYI, paper > phone > fax > email > web form at at least one Congressional office. If you want to make an impression, buy a stamp. (If you want to make a bigger impression, you can hack the system a bit: send a certified letter with return receipt requested to your Congresscritter care of a committee they serve on. A staffer will open it, quickly discover it isn't committee business, and send it to the Constituent Services staff at the politician's office in one of the committee's envelopes. You think they ever forget to open physical mail from the Ways and Means Committee?)
Most guides to getting Vitamin D make blanket statements about how much ultraviolet light is available. The amount of sun varies throughout the winter and by time of day, as well as latitude. You can probably get more UVB at high noon in December than you can at 3pm in October.

I'd love to see a guide that shows you how long you need to be out at a specific time, date, latitude and skin color.
Yes, because of all the issues surrounding the prevalence of copyright infringement, surely the pedantic argument around it being referred to as "stealing" is the most pressing issue to lay to rest.

Does anyone actually care about this oh-so-important issue other than people who are regularly committing the crime?

Dish towels and vacuum bags do a better job of filtering, but make breathing quite difficult. A simple cotton t-shirt material is fine. And there's no sign that double layers help; and they make it harder to breath as well.
Updating mostly for myself: Using convection worked great. The time needed went from 26 minutes to 16, and the crust is better. I baked at 500, but will probably reduce to 475 next time.
Audacious is pretty slick (especially with this latest release), but lacks the features that foobar2000 has that I need (namely, a directory/folder view that can replace the active playlist when clicked).

If anyone is looking for a decent foobar2000 alternative, Foobnix (https://github.com/foobnix/foobnix) has worked really well for me. It has some rough edges and doesn't seem (that) actively maintained, but it gets the important stuff right. Haven't come across anything else quite like it for Linux yet, unfortunately.

If there was a foobar-like folder view plugin for Audacious, I'd switch to it in a heartbeat.
Apple Kremlinology [1]

I love this term. What a fantastic way to look at this story and take a step back so that we recognize what we're doing here. Maybe Apple, like the Soviet Union, doesn't have it all figured out? Maybe they're just trying stuff to see what sticks?

I think, deep down, there are a bunch of people at Apple that know they'd have to pry the Terminal, vim/emacs, and command line tools out of macOS developers' cold, dead hands before they'd ever switch to iOS full-time.

The point is you can trace back the shell trajectory to its source and counterfire on that source location, unless the gun had already moved. I don't see how what you quoted changed that. Are you saying that because the trajectory is more dynamic that it's harder to trace back to its source, even if it's still there?
A stack of books with a couple of rulers under the top one works better - it's height-adjustable.

Moving a bit further up the quality ladder, I've just built myself a solid laptop/monitor stand out of plywood, and I'm going to attach a strut sticking out the back to hold up a webcam-as-document-camera and (when it arrives) an LED ring light.

There are actually a whole lot of cheap products based around the phone-as-document-camera idea, e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000309823825.html, a stand, phone holder, and ring light.

A few days ago people were comparing the coronavirus to the flu.

And you want people to understand 2.2mm?
We can live with uncertainly only until there is no food available in the grocery stores (or anywhere, due to loss of production or logistics). If that happens, then what happens next is certain, people will take food with guns to feed their family. At that point we reach a place from which there is likely no easy return.

This might also happen if enough people have no money to buy food with, or no place to go to be fed. Not everyone is willing to die quietly of starvation.

Do we trust our state governments (or the Federal one) to be able to prioritize feeding 350M people, or to concern itself with long term business survival?

I fear this more than the disease.
After interacting with a few lawyers I realized I am severely lacking in communication and people skills. Their emails were inviting but not over the top. My emails were either too curt or too verbose.

Just wrote a brief blog post about putting the store together here in case anyone is interested: http://getmochi.com/blog/sell-retail-on-your-salons-website-...

To summarize, it was a pretty painless process. The setup is very, very simple, and adding products seems easy enough. We're running a test with the 5 product (free) version to see if anyone actually buys! Hopefully we generate a few sales and then we'll upgrade to the paid version.

I'll post a follow-up in a few weeks with some numbers either way.

Two complaints thus far:
-Store is slow to load
-The 'Options' area is a bit confusing to non-tech people
> swine flu but have been lucky that they haven't mutated to be airborne and infectous from human to human

As far as I can remember, most of the flu last year was of the swine variety and was spreading human to human. We were lucky it wasn't so deadly as it might have been. It spread far and wide though.
Yeah the name was picked using the "Get it up now and fix it later" methodology. The domain wasn't available so I got x/t instead which I thought was clever, but probably doesn't help.

I original had my samples in Google charts but I wasn't sure if I should be proxying the charts to the user, redirecting requests to Google or something else. I have a bunch of different usage samples to put together

Anomaly detection is a good idea, I'll put that on my speculative list. Cheers.
I'm sort of in a similar situation, but in the UK. The visa/work permit situation is a lot easier here though. So, soon after I started working on my startup I quit my job and got a new visa which allows me to do any kind of work (including self-employment). I also like it here and would like to stay until I get permanent residence. I saved up enough from my job to keep me going for a while, hopefully until my business takes off.

I'm finding working alone on my startup quite hard. And all that emotional rollercoaster stuff I heard about also seems to be true. I'm doing it fulltime and still feel like I'm moving painfully slow. So I can totally understand your frustration and fear.

I think I agree largely with what edw519 says. Keep the job and keep working on your startup but try and slowly build up the momentum.

Is there a chance for you to get another less demanding job? It sounds like you must have a decent paying job, so presumably you can save a bit of money from that which could help.

Finally, given your situation, the classic route of consulting might be a good option.
I notice that you have perverted the meaning by adding the word "ineffective" which was not in the statement you are replying to, though you imply it was and that teachers are.

As if the only way a person can be overworked is by not being effective at their job.

And thus it is the teacher's failing that they cannot keep up with the workload, not the people assigning the workload.

It seems you have had a very rare and fortunate life. I am happy for you, though I wish you had more respect for others.
Prosecutors do a lot of work, but the idea that they lose a lot is questionable. In the federal system, more than 90% of defendants plead guilty, and only around 1% of defendants take a case to trial and ultimately win. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/06/11/only-2-of-f...

The numbers in state courts may vary, but in NY they are similar to the federal system. https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Documents/New_...

Obviously a guilty plea still requires work, and maybe a lot of it. But in terms of outcomes, they rarely lose.

Your anecdote sparked an old thought for me.

In your story, the customer would perceive the service as inferior if their food was late. A cook, knowing that the service isn't really inferior (there was just one little snag), justifies a little action to put appearances back closer to reality.

That last sentence is a study for me. I see it in everybody including myself. Somehow we convince ourselves that our ideal is the normal and the actual reality is an aberation. Then we rationalize little efforts to hide the aberation.

It can be hard to acknowledge the truth about ourselves and accept the consequences. But it is very hard to improve otherwise.

(At the same time we need to be careful of imposing overly severe consequences for mistakes.)
Your original reply was nicer. Why did you change it?

Indeed, and it doesn't even have to be someone trying to do something malicious like create a virus that targets a certain ethnic group. It's completely possible that someone trying to create something as a novelty causes some mutation that results in massive damage.

Say someone is trying to create a glowing plant (there are numerous companies and individuals attempting to make these that glow bright enough to be commercially viable) and they accidentally encourage some mutation that can spread in the wild that ultimately results in creating a dead end in the species with a bunch of plants that can only be cloned and you end up with a precarious situation cough like we have with Cavendish bananas cough.

Or what if someone is trying to cure their own disease and uses some bacteria or virus to deliver the gene edit to themselves and it also happened to pick up a mutation that makes it highly contagious to certain individuals and causes some unintended issue.

Or someone wants to help sequester carbon so they try and engineer some incredibly fast growing tree (I know of people actively looking into this) and go plant some in the wild and create the next terrible invasive species like kudzu.

Or someone actually sits there trying to intentionally create some super-bacteria or super-virus because they are mentally unwell and hate the world and creates something that makes the Spanish Flu's death count look like amateur hour.

Human rights are universal as established by the Nuremberg trials. If they were not then Nazis could not have been prosecuted for crimes against humanity. Nazi Germany never recognized the authority of these trials.

The point is that human rights are above national laws. If an American citizen commit serious human right abuses abroad he/she should naturally be put on trial.

In particular American involved in kidnapping and torturing foreigners to obtain information ought to be put on a human rights trial. I am thinking in particular about all the human rights violations during the Bush/Cheney years.
That is not what the note said. It said that screenshots made their way outside the company.

I would associate that with an email account that wasn't the work account, a printed page that was taken off-premises, a non-work cloud-hosted storage service, or to a computer that wasn't a work computer. It does not say that the place the information was sent to was any third party.

It could turn out that the information was sent to a third party, but that has not (yet) been claimed.
If you purchase a Carepaq, can actually extend the service beyond that?
