I'm not saying it's a reasonable interpretation. I'm pointing out that the article tries to make it seem like one judge is throwing the Constitution out the window, while it seems more a case of a state policy of trying to save a buck at the expense of the accused.

There are a lot of shitty state governments trying to read stuff like Roe v. Wade out of existence. Singling out one particular judge who happened to make stupid comments in an interview won't change those policies. That has to happen at the state level.
So just don't push yourself ridiculously hard. Enjoy it, pace yourself, don't feel competitive pressure.
I am not surprised that you don't like exercise. There is a general trend in society to exercise instead of just live an active lifestyle by playing sport, going for walks, helping your friends move house, and so on.

Being active develops your body in a much better way as well. Muscles and tendons are much more complex than what is suggested by people who lift weights. Squatting heavy for 10 reps is only going to result in a very specific type of muscular development. Muscles have multiple compartments as determined by the various nerve endings. They have different types of muscle fibres and there are multiple smaller muscles all over the place.

It is pretty easy to recognise people who lift weights and don't do anything else because their bodies look strange. Many people at gyms have bigger chests than the worlds greatest fighters, bigger legs than the fastest people in the world, and wider shoulders than the fastest swimmers. Their muscles are counterproductive to being athletic as their legs rub together when they walk and so on. It is not just about size, it is about everything.

No it was the fault of crossfit. Most likely you had overdeveloped internal rotators which caused impingement due to poor posture. Any responsible trainer would get you to do facepulls and rows and maybe posterior chain exercises like deadlifts to correct your posture before you did overhead work. Injuries at the gym are extremely common because the body is more complex than some people think.

Having fun outdoors should be people's main source of exercise, not rep 1, rep 2, protein shake. Nutrition is another topic. Weight lifting is to being active as supplements, frozen meals, processed shit is to actual real food. And no you don't need 500 grams of protein per day. The whole fitness industry is garbage. It presents these bizarre bodies that nobody finds attractive as ideals and so people try to obtain them.
Adult life isn't quizzes game and videos. A lot of it is interacting with strangers, communication and dealing with boring and repetitive actions.

Electronic assistance to education is fine abut a big part of the school system is to introduce people into society, its diversity and also how to interact with your global community of fellow strangers. I like computers they have helped me immensely in learning but I prefer human teachers, that not only possess the knowledge but have applied it in real life and can also impart a bit of one-on one insight.

I think we are loosing society by gluing kids eyeballs to an LCD most of the time.I think we fix education by not making it just a vehicle to pass tests/ enter college/employment but also encourage the human factors.
The only term that avoids all confusion is the term "Native American"

The Canadians use "First Peoples", which is arguably better.
Because it's a feedback loop. The effectiveness of government agencies to do their jobs serving citizens is related to how much citizens trust them to do that job. If you don't trust cops to protect you, you won't call them when there's something bad going on, thus they won't be able to protect you. It seems to me that you can, in principle, reach the point of so little trust being given to the system that the system suddenly disassembles.

If public trust is an important part of effective and good governance, it's important to combat the efforts to destroy it, especially if we're talking about some statistically insignificant infractions being blown by journalists out of proportion, like it seems to be e.g. with the police brutality issue in the US.
I just switched out a tired old Dell Precision T5400 (~7 years old, ran 24hrs a day but began randomly crashing) which has ECC memory for a new box built out of bits and no ECC memory. It'll be interesting to see what difference this makes regarding error rates and hardware failures.
The weak link is always curriculum. Without a "plan" and mentorship kids learn very little. Sure, they can follow step by step instructions, click things together but they are learning very little.

Most kids learn nothing about strength of mechanical shapes by clicking together lego blocks. However, a curriculum that explicitly teaches how different structural shapes behave under various loads does teach them a lot. Ergo, the vast majority of kids only learn so much by following lego assembly instructions kit after kit.

That's not to say that these toys are not useful. They are. What I am pushing back against is that the cost of the educational toy or tool is directly related to the level of learning it can provide.

BTW, I do think that "little bits" can be useful with the right curriculum. Yet, we are talking about $200 again. This only strengthens my argument that a dive for the bottom it utterly meaningless when it comes to delivering usable value, either for education or for other applications.

In the case of poor countries or really poor people, yes, of course, lower cost could be the difference between access and no access. Yet, that's not the whole story because they need to spend at least $100 to play.

Is that the primary argument and mission of the various Pi boards? To serve the poor? Because, if it is, then I'd like to understand why it uses a video interface that requires fairly recent monitor that will cost somewhere around $80 and $100 in the US. Anyone who can spend that kind of money can afford something much better than a Pi. And far more useful...

Something like this:

or this:

Most Pi's end-up off in a corner collecting dust or in landfills. They are neat, but I have yet to find them useful. They are not the best financial investment in terms of education. And they are certainly not good enough to be used in commercial or industrial systems. I think their popularity is more of an emotional reaction than a rational decision. You can buy a fully functional Windows laptop for $100. And, if want to run Linux you can dual boot or install a VM.

I just don't see it. And I am talking out of experience with kids from ages 9 up to 17.
Indian Buddhists, Jain, Muslims, etc. must love that.
I cant understand this obsession with terrorist death risk, the over reaction to what is actualy a relativly low risk, according to recent stats, over that last 10 years you have been 8 times more likely to have been shot and killed by a cop than killed by a terrorist, and i dont see the resulting "War on Cops". If you look at almost every other major risk factor they all by far outweigh being killed by terrorism. Driving a car, crossing a road, heart desease, obesity, travel of any kind.

Society has apparently lost its ability to weigh up risk in tne face of shock terror acts. If we want to save lives there are far cheaper, less invasive areas we can focus our attention on.
If you continue to be under the impression he was killed because he was "jaywalking" then you believe a narrative and not actual evidence. You are basically Judge Gordon from the article since the facts of a case don't matter just a narrative put forward by people looking to push an agenda or, in this case, ratings.
You are seriously misstating the legal standard for use of deadly force. In order for someone to lawfully use deadly force in self defense, they have to possess a reasonable belief that there is an imminent threat of death or gross bodily injury. As in, someone is already using deadly force or is threatening to. In certain circumstances and jurisdictions, there are additional requirements such as the duty to retreat. And there are rules like the fleeing felon rule that only apply in rare circumstances. But in no American jurisdiction is it sufficient justification to use deadly force merely because someone feels like a life is threatened.
Yeah, it makes sense that users have to tell them theres a copyright problem, just like a copy-righted YouTube video.
Didn't know this was a medical device. Was expecting it to be classified more like a ladder or a pair of shoes. On the one hand, being a medical device means that it can be purchased with insurance money and by hospitals and so on. On the other hand, having done some work with robotics and having glimpsed the regulations involved in being a "medical device"... If the European and Japanese regulations are anything like the American ones, may Turing have mercy on their developers' shells.
I read that as "medival" device and was confused until I read the article.

The author might be better off going with the flow and treating Udemy-imposed discounts as a loss-leader for consulting gigs.

Udemy is creating a race to the bottom for their course creators, to the benefit of the students, who will always be able to find quality courses for $10. The winning course creators will be the top 2%, plus those in the top 10% who are able to convert the courses into other forms of income.

However, this is not much different than almost every other form of content creation and centralized distribution these days, where there are winners who are good enough that they can make a break and create their own distribution channels, another tier who can make a living by hustling in multiple modes, and the hopeful replacement-level masses who keep the broad distribution channels afloat with a deep catalog.
Just the long-range one in this release[1], but the short-range replacement is targeted for the next[2].

> That's not a rock-star, it's not what the term means.

How are we defining "your best devs" then, exactly, if "rock star who's also a jerk" isn't a contradiction?

> As for your main point, most people don't want to deal with jerks, so what? That doesn't mean anything when it comes to whether the jerk is a good leader or not.

Do you not see the inherit conflict between being "a good leader" and "driving away the talent on your team"? If your leader is toxic enough that everyone would rather quit than work with them, how are they supposed to function as a leader? There's going to be nobody left to lead!

Let's say they're not quite that toxic. Instead, they're merely driving down morale, merely making everyone want to think about anything but work, stressing them out. Will these people be bringing their A game? And doing their best work? And communicating effectively with leadership so the correct work gets done, instead of avoiding the jerk as much as possible?

Let's say they're not quite that toxic. Instead, they just forgot to bring doughnuts into work on your birthday. Are they actually a jerk?

> Naturally they find ways to take charge of a leaderless group

No such thing. There may be no official leader, or no clear singular leader, but if nothing else people will always lead themselves. Anyone displacing that leadership must provide more value than what exists for their leadership to be a net positive. That may be a fairly low bar at times, but sufficiently toxic individuals won't clear it - as they'll be removing value instead.

> The smart guy you think would make a better leader, generally doesn't want to be leader and will let the jerk take charge; that actually disqualifies them as good leaders because a good leader wouldn't do that.

Well, I'd agree it isn't good leadership. I've seen people learn from this mistake.

> Unfortunately it also attracts a lot of fakers and cheapos -- in this case, the Udemy owners.

Or, from my experience, most Udemy courses.
Nonetheless, advocates across the country continue to expose judges who unlawfully deprive defendants of lawyers or throw people in jail simply because they are too poor to pay small amounts of money.

Is it possible to figure out, from court proceedings, when such a thing happens? I'm wondering if a "search engine" could be built, that trawls PACER reports and digs up cases where poor people are being sent to jail for small amounts of money. I'd be willing to chip in a little bit of money into a Kiva-style pool, from which the poor can tap the money and repay it later.
Given that everyone else's reporting is worth the same or even less, I wonder where do you still find salt for all of that? I've run out of mine long ago.

> The HR manager scares me, although I am not sure why.

I'll simply and very generally (so, don't take as advice, per se) say that you are not alone in this.

Generally speaking, HR works for the C suite, not you. Always. And, in my experience, the kind of people who tend to populate HR are much more about "resources" than "humans".

In particular, if you don't fit the convenient box they have in mind... you are a problem. The only question then is whether you are a problem they have to deal with now or accumulate "evidence" against for some anticipated future use.
This sounds like a neat start-up idea..

To say that Apple gains nothing by licensing and developing their own ARM chips is disingenuous. They make some of the best, if not the best, ARM processors for mobile/general purpose systems. Consistently great battery life and performance packages, compared to competing ARM packages. After all, iOS is specifically tuned for A*-chips, and vice versa.

By continuing to develop their own chips based on existing ARM specs, they can take advantage of the rising tide while maintaining the freedom to make changes as they want, without waiting on the industry to deliver. I doubt that Apple has that sort of influence, if any at all, over the architectural minutiae of Intel chips. It seems more likely they just take the latest of whatever Intel dishes out, like virtually everyone else.

ARM may never fully compete with Intel processors, but if it ever does, Apple will be in a great position to own its entire processor lineup. That amount of top-to-bottom control costs money, but it gives them a greater position in the market. It doesn't sound crazy at all to me to imagine Apple continuing to blur the lines between their ARM and Intel systems, to the point at which maintaining separate architectures no longer makes sense.
I can't be the only one here who regularly drinks coffee all day and night, maybe its the constant stress of working more than a dozen hours a day. Studies like this help validate my beverage of choice.
> There is a general trend in society to exercise instead of just live an active lifestyle by playing sport, going for walks, helping your friends move house, and so on.

Your friends move house only so often. The trend to exercise is unfortunately a direct consequence of technological progress - the move away from physically demanding jobs towards sitting for most of the day. Also, honestly, there's so much other stuff to do besides work, that not many have time for "an active lifestyle". So it's exercising for most of us, because it's more efficient.

> Having fun outdoors should be people's main source of exercise,

It should be, but it can't be. Not in our society, while we're still expected to work. Maybe after UBI comes, we'll have time and means to have fun outdoors.

> The whole fitness industry is garbage.

That I agree with, but it's mostly because it's pseudoscience and making money off people's vanity.
Interesting, I just remembered about 10-15 years ago, I had laptop with "infrared" support. Never quite knew what that was for. But one day noticed in the lab I was working the HP printer had an IR window, after a quick search on the net, sure enough I could print a few pages using IR from my laptop. That's all I did with it and had forgotten it since.
I think you've basically explained the political effectiveness of terrorism. It perfectly taps into a particular human bias, if society had any ability to weigh risks (has it ever?) then political terrorism wouldn't exist. But since society is made up of humans, who are irrational, it does exist and it works extremely well.
Couchbase Mobile has an optional on device rest API we use for p2p sync. You can also use it to push data from edge devices to a handset or base station, but typically phones will ping devices.
As an Israeli, I just want to let you know: no, we don't support your government. We basically consider every single government in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and basically every other Arab country to be an enemy who will only think twice about invading us because the IDF would soundly beat them.

Paranoid? Hell yes, and I should say triple-yes because I am a Meretz voter. But it's got one virtue: whenever someone in the Arab world says, "El-Sisi, or Abdullah, or Assad, or Da3esh, are tools of the Israelis", they are dead wrong.

Fuck, if Abbas at least was our tool, we could get him to quit with the anti-Jewish incitement and accede to a damned peace deal.

I sometimes wonder about this too. But then I'll turn on the radio or get trapped in an airport with a TV set to the news. I feel my anxiety level creep up and up. Not from the factual content, which is familiar to me from print news. But from the emotional tone.

In some ways this is unsurprising. The business model of most broadcast media is to sell viewers to advertisers. The people running them are steeped in modern managerial thinking, where most individuals are yoked to a system of gaming specific metrics (e.g., viewers, pageviews, revenues, share price). We're (correctly) hardwired to treat danger as a priority. The obvious outcome is a sophisticated machine that can produce fear on demand.

For me, the winning move is not to play. I don't watch broadcast media. I don't listen to the radio. I use an ad blocker. I consider carefully what I click on. My anxiety level stays comfortably low. But I'd love to find a way to help more people.

> But is it really necessary to serve up personal fitness with a double side-order of external validation and group identity? Good health is it's own reward,

For some, it may be. I feel like it could be good for me, as a way to hack my mind. I hate exercising - not because of the physical effort, but because I'm too attention-deficient to experience it, or "good health", as any kind of reward. Exercising feels like a waste of time that could be spend on something else, e.g. reading a book or helping someone with some problem. I know my mind simply doesn't factor future health in day-to-day computations. I have to consciously and explicitly force* myself to care about it, and any way to push that care back from System II to System I is something I appreciate.

Software is part of the problem with education. Honestly. It's part of a trend in social isolationism amongst schoolchildren that robs our kids of social and emotional education.

Having kids work together to do something in real life, like grow a garden, is what education needs more of. It does not need more prison-time where you sit still all day and take multiple choice questionnaires by yourself. Or worse, play some videogame that cultivates no actual accomplishments other than knowing academic trivia.

Computers are also not helping kids learn math or reading any better. That's only been getting worse since the calculator was allowed.
