Private companies have no more right to discriminate based on thoughts and ideas than a hotel or restaurant can based on race. These businesses are places of public accommodation and cannot discriminate.

And we can dispense with the "calls to violence" argument, which has been the democrat party platform since 2016.
> That said, in the video I can’t hear anyone issue a verbal command such as “Get back or we’ll shoot!” or anything like that.

Reminder that the rules of engagement for the US army are way more rigorous than those of the police forces and engagements are scrutinized more thoroughly. There should have been warnings until there was no other way to keep the protesters out of the perimeter.

Now that I think about that woman's profile: could it be that this veteran, because of her training, was expecting to hear warnings, didn't and so thought it was safe to keep moving forward ? We'll never know. I have seen the scene and there are other elements I can't explain. We'll never know the whole truth.

It's so sad that people who served their country for years get swallowed in this.

I've been having all my clients sign up for a Mandrill account for sending email since it's so unbelievably cheap (usually free) and it completely fixes the email problem.
Mike, I have the interviews. They're interviews I recorded over the past 6 years.

I'm trying a new way of distributing them. It's an experiment to see if giving 1 interview at a time will get more people to listen to each interview. In the past, I put all the interviews on a single page, but I looked at the data and noticed that most people download the interview with the biggest name and ignore the others. I think the less known people are often more helpful.

And I would never spam you. I'm asking for an email address because that's the easiest way to do this. The original idea for this was to have it come out via RSS so you could get a new one in your podcast app every couple of days. But that seems like a pain.
is "autistici" a plural of "austistic"?

it's interesting that registering it as a domain seems to be a way of reclaiming something that is becoming derogatory - as a badge of honour instead. like civil rights movements.
As a Current Alfred customer in NYC I can say that the service has been a huge help, and not in the "shut in" way suggested by this article.

Having my laundry, groceries and packages taken care of for me allows me to maximize my weekends.

I think one of the other reasons Alfred is so useful is that it removes 100% of the cognitive load of chores. Services like flycleaners and instacart are actually only marginally helpful since the user still needs to think about laundry and groceries.
I do too, although there is no reason to really. You outsource when you pay for anything - from tax to broccoli!

That's a good point. And I can understand that Apple, esp. if they are targeting creative / ad people, are probably aiming for a completely professional look (v. Flash, etc.). Until the other browsers catch up, I suppose they have every justification for doing what they're doing. One could argue, that they don't want browsers that aren't fully conforming which might give a bad impression of the viability of this post-Flash world.

On the other hand, browser sniffing, as you mention, is a slippery slope. Maybe all they might do is acknowledge that until other browsers have fully implemented 3D CSS, etc., they are only recommending Safari.

ETA: Never mind, I went back and read the page:

Not all browsers offer this support. But soon other modern browsers will take advantage of these same web standards — and the amazing things they enable web designers to do.

Good enough I suppose...
Thanks a lot. I will give it a try.
It would be great if more people did this sort of thing - not because it saves money, but because it saves throwing away electronics that otherwise work fine, and well... because I like pulling things apart!

In the past, I've rescued a cordless telephone and a friend's PC (dead battery on motherboard) from being premature landfill. I plan to do this with my electric toothbrush when the time comes. If it contains a battery, there's a fair bet you can get a straight replacement on the web.
Which brings about an interesting question; every independent country either needs to be self-supporting (which would be friggin badass, and hackers seem one of the most likely groups to grow their own food etc- but still unlikely) needs an export. What export would a computer geek nation produce? Skilled labor is hard to export.

*: as for hackers growing their own food, I consider myself somewhat of a hacker in the frame of mind sense, and I find I can absolutely obsess over any topic if necessary- so I can just imagine hackers obsessing over farming...
It's amazing that only in 2010 are we reaching the point where the vast amounts of information that are inherently made public (like SSIDs) are actually sensitive information.

Long gone are the days when public policy could be dictated by what people specifically made public or private by opting to publish it (in a newspaper, for example) or not.

As a society, I don't think we quite know how to handle this. Technically, this information is public by definition, but having it used like this by a corporation just doesn't "feel right" to most people.
Do a WHOIS query on the IP's netblock to get the abuse address and send them an email. BTW it looks like the IP (112.140.184.245) is registered to Sparkstation, which is in Singapore (APNIC). Their address is: noc@sparkstation.net
I believe that is what the poster was saying (as well as the author of the original article).
I'll take umbrage with one statement:

It's about selling a vision, not presenting analysis.

From my experience that's a sure way to receive a polite "no thank you" from VC's or angels. Good venture capitalists demand meaningful analysis in your pitch. Every single pitch I've been a part of has inevitably zeroed in on market, financial, and performance analysis within 5 minutes of starting. Those slides about vision and big ideas just don't play well in those rooms (again, from my experience).

More than anything, money-folks seem to want entrepreneurs who have an eagle eye on the performance metrics of their business.
> If a person cannot learn that on those skills on the job, I seriously would question his/her ability to be an effective manager.

Well, since a lot of learning comes from failures, I think an MBA should teach you at least how to avoid common causes of failures. As a boss of mine used to say: "By practice alone, it will take you one hundred years." (meaning that a little theory goes a long way).

An MBA does not make you an effective manager anymore than knowing OOP and the syntax of a programming language makes and you an effective programmer.

Theory without any practice is entertainment. Practice without any theory is a bet.

I'm not familiar with this developer or that project, but what I inferred is that perhaps he deliberately spread out these relatively minor commits in order to keep his streak going. Of course, I have no idea if that's true. Busy work can be valuable, but purposefully spreading out minor commits makes the streak statistic less impressive (especially considering how easy it would be to automate).
Not good enough. I use it at a bank.

Indeed, I read the abstract:

>we stabilize a rare monoclinic γ-sulfur phase within carbon nanofibers

and my mind jumped to "sulfur inside a nanotube again". But the sulfur isn't "within" the carbon nanofibers, as they later specify, and this is new.

>We demonstrate that despite an exposed “un-confined” deposition of
this sulfur phase on the host carbon material, the carbonate-based
battery exhibits high reversible capacity

The sulfur is in contact with the electrolyte. And it works! That's not supposed to happen, but now it does. So the process you described doesn't make carbon nanotubes, it makes nanofibers, which are much simpler (you don't need axial concentric planes).
Ultimately, OP was looking for a low power server without relying on a MicroSD. So no, it's not strictly an alternative to a Raspberry Pi because once you boot from USB, MicroSD durability is no longer the issue.
> As a political move to advance the cause of memory-safe languages, as Alex Gaynor clearly intends†, this is obviously kind of a fiasco.

I’m not sure about that: there’s been a few people vocally complaining but it doesn’t seem like they’re getting much traction. I’d see this working as well for other maintainers saying “people using hardware which has been dying since the 90s aren’t a major constituency and I’d like the huge safety and productivity benefits of Rust”.

I find it interesting that you describe Rust as too complex to replace C, when I generally see it as the reverse: I’ve written C off and on since the early 90s and it’s almost always felt like a chore because you have to do so much yourself that newer languages do for you. Rust hit a better comfort level after a couple hours because it was so much more productive that I could start making progress on design refactoring which had been postponed due to how tedious it would have been to do it before.
If you use GKE, you have been spoiled. Other Kubernetes platforms - in particular EKS, which is what most people are going to use since most people use AWS - are way more work to setup and maintain. (Emphasis on the "maintain".)

Also, I think a lot of companies have really terrible devops practices that don't work in Kubernetes. So their move to Kubernetes includes a lot of extra work that isn't really caused by the move to Kubernetes.
To follow up: it was hard enough for the two parties to agree on policy when they couldn't agree on the impact of those policies. How do you predict the second and third order impact of a new law?

Now the parties, or at least their supporters, can't agree on the past and present truth of what's happening in the country.

When there's no common agreement on what basic truth is, you can't expect agree on policy to address the problems we face.
Understandable. I put my trust in activists who do it for the cause. When government and activists actually work together instead of in opposition, great things can happen. We've seen it in New York and we can see it nationwide.

It's not just targeted bans of specific people, Shopify banned Trump for completely benign merch and Apple/Google banned Parler (non-partisan Twitter clone which only removes illegal content).

When half the country are feeling discriminated for just expressing their views you've gone too far. Twitter could just have enacted manual approval of Trump tweets instead of banning him for absurd reasons [1], and there would be far less hate all around.

[1] The reasons stated for banned him was his two latest benign tweets that 1. his voters would have a voice and 2. that he would not attend Biden's inauguration. https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspensio...

It’s not like this is a new concept for me. I’ve had plenty of conversations with women who want other women to carry pregnancies to term against their will. It’s almost always god’s will. One of my dearest friends takes a feminist perspective on it, but only in terms of cherry picked historical positioneering. I’ve yet to hear a single explanation for forcing a woman to carry a pregnancy to term that isn’t dehumanizing to the woman. Because it’s inherently is dehumanizing.

I’ll ask you again: isn’t forcing a woman to use her uterus to host another life against her will misogynist? You don’t have to be one of the women who share that view to agree that the women who don’t (and the large number of women who do but get abortions anyway) don’t deserve to be forced to be living fetus nurseries.
He is special, of course.

The Finland-Swedes are essentially Finns anyway, so you are talking about 99% homogenous population.

I moved to Finland a couple of years ago and have two kids at school. The key differences I see (compared to Aus) are:

- later start (7 years old grade 1)
- hot lunches
- every kid gets the same education, almost no private schools, no advantage in going to a different school
- multiple languages are taught
- teaching is quite a prestigious and reasonably well paid occupation
- lots of small schools (they scale wide, not high, from a hardware perspective)

Of course these are basic observations, not a study. I have no idea how they get such good results, but they do.

That would mean taxing most productive or enjoyable activity (raising kids, going to business trips, fine dining) and rewarding depressive low-carbon-footprint sitting in front of the TV and waiting for death. I would rather spend that money subsidizing greener alternatives to common CO2 sources (e.g. EV subsidies), but that's already being done.

They're not interested in making the vision of cryptocurrency a reality any more than it enhances their bottom line.

Except this wasn't the federal bailouts. Those are an entirely different beast. It's talking strictly about income stagnation.

The study shows that if wages kept up with productivity (as was the case in the immediate post-WW2 era) the bottom 90% would earn $2.5 trillion per year more.

> We document the cumulative effect of four decades of income growth below the growth of per capita gross national income and estimate that aggregate income for the population below the 90th percentile over this time period would have been $2.5 trillion (67 percent) higher in 2018 had income growth since 1975 remained as equitable as it was in the first two post-War decades. From 1975 to 2018, the difference between the aggregate taxable income for those below the 90th percentile and the equitable growth counterfactual totals $47 trillion.

> It amazes me why most people do not grasp this. I think it is lack of education.

We should be careful about wording here. The lack of education is a direct consequence of the top "1%" politics and very well thought decisions. They have everything to gain from us plebeians not thinking about these issues.

> (you choose)

It's much more complex than that, especially in America. If you can choose between A and B but the right answer is C you have everything but a choice. Even worse than that, if the entire culture and education of your country is built on making you think only A and B exists, C being the right answer will never even materialise.

We're past the time of blaming "the people", when the entire system is corrupt to the bone we should stop blaming eachother and look up, when all the parties converge to the same point you know you're being played
I think the mistake is assuming this kind of thinking is rooted in flawed logic (and can therefore be corrected). It's not. It's rooted in feelings like fear and trust and distrust. If you want to combat it, you have to help people on an emotional level: build connections, show compassion and nuance, set an example for a saner way of being. They will never be talked out of it, but they may be eased out of it, even if just partially.

Our bridge to reality does not and could never be purely rooted in facts. Other people, and our connections with them, determine our sense of what's real.

We can see it play out in this case. We have isolation:

> His dad, who’d been divorced from his mother for many years, had recently died...Sam quickly noticed his mom was spending almost all of her time online.

...followed by a new sense of belonging:

> Sam’s mom had found a community that not only validated her fear, but also encouraged her anger.

The "ban" can be evaded by telling semgrep to ignore it for one line. https://semgrep.dev/docs/ignoring-findings/ This doesn't really scale though - if someone bans it with a different tool, you'd have to tell each tool to ignore this line.

You're making the presumption that people adopted agriculture because it "gave them more", when there could be a vast number of other reasons for adopting it.

More than likely, the first tribes that started becoming farmers did so because the area they lived in become bad for obtaining food (whether due to the extinction of big game events, or moving to a naturally inhospitable area). Because of the nature of agriculture, this gave them a lot more power, and they started conquering tribes.

When your choice is between "get slaughtered by the farmers", "have your food supply diminished by the farmers", or "become a farmer", guess which choice you pick?

This is all speculation, though. I'm merely trying to get you to realize that there are many reasons for technological progress (esp. the adoption of agriculture), the least of all being that "it's human nature to want more".
I am someone who tends to work from first principles, to a fault. It slows me down a lot. But it's like a compulsion.

StackOverflow has improved my programming life dramatically, because it makes it a lot easier to "memoize" the search from what you're doing down to first principles.

Well, it doesn't help that the piano is one of the most unergonomic instruments in common use. I don't know which is worse, the piano or the guitar.

True, this is one thing that online course materials can't give you. But I also don't think a school like MIT has any real advantage in this respect over other schools.

No, not for this. It’s a survey with a specific question asking if they use the internet, and here in this context “use” undoubtedly means “access directly” and not “indirectly benefit from”.
