Did you study Macroeconomics? It's a fairly accepted phenomenon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_price_equalization (identified there by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Samuelson, about as "mainstream" as it's possible for an economist to be).

"Whichever factor receives the lowest price before two countries integrate economically and effectively become one market will therefore tend to become more expensive relative to other factors in the economy, while those with the highest price will tend to become cheaper. An often-cited example of factor price equalization is wages. When two countries enter a free trade agreement, wages for identical jobs in both countries tend to approach each other."

It could be argued that this is a good thing if one considers the benefit of bringing third-world people out of abject poverty to outweight the loss of slightly reducing the living standards of first-world semi-skilled labour.

Cherry MX Red switches are probably what you want, there are tons of keyboards with cherry switches and frankly not a whole lot of difference between them in terms of typing experience. Corsair K66 is a decent example, one of the cheapest at $60 from amazon currently and doesn't have the ridiculous "gaming aesthetic" that plagues so many mechanical keyboards.
I think you're trying to be overly clever in your definition of the words. The sheriff gets to keep the budget surplus. It's his personal money now. That's what keep and retain means in this context: that it's his money, no ifs, ands or buts. Yes, he is following the letter of the law, like it or not. I think it's crummy and the incentives to shortchange inmates and tax payers seems obvious to me. Alabamers, if they get sick of it, can legislate change if they want... it's on them.
I was hit with a huge tax bill because my foreign tax credit was somehow blown away in my tax return. I was able to refile my forms, and getting an ITIN for my wife, changed my filing status to go from a huge bill to a smaller but significant refund.

I did this by myself without a CPA but I knew what I was doing. The IRS was pretty understanding the whole way and quickly understood my situation. They never tried to threaten me or anything like that. It didn’t help that their mail to china kept getting lost, however.
That's an estimate at best. How many if tbise who profitted actually cashed out?

Indeed. Looking at simplicity, I'd say Docker Swarm compares to k8s as Digital Ocean to AWS.
Excel still is excellent for the most tasks for most of us. It's not going away any time soon. Google certainly has tried with google sheets. They all might just co-exist in harmony fulfill each individual niche even with some overlap.
It is absolutely not a form of bias in the experiments (it is of course technically a bias in which experiments are funded, but this does not affect the integrity of the results).

Promising a breakthrough means I must either be lucky or force my results towards something that sounds good. That is bias.

Having an experiment where there is promise of a breakthrough simply means my experiment could deliver something huge.

I could fling Fabergé eggs at a wall and it'd be expensive but exceptionally unlikely to reveal anything big. Testing the warmth of fires lit with Rembrandts would be similarly unenlightening but expensive. Firing particles at each other at energies we've never tested before with newly designed detectors has a chance of a breakthrough (however you choose to define a breakthrough). Picking the latter over the former because it can give a breakthrough does not mean the experiments done with it are biased.
I have not written anywhere “Just provide some way to disable the garbage collector”, rather that they offer other ways of managing resources.

In Modula-3 or D, as possible examples, a solution might be destructors or scope attributes.

The only way to actually be 100% safe would be if everyone would be programming with formal logic, which still requires a lot of research to make it approachable by the average developer.

The Senate Intelligence Committee Report on Torture
But when most of the commonly used "regular expression" libraries aren't regular, I think if you really mean solving something with only regular expressions, you should probably specify that explicitly. The term's been corrupted enough that using it by itself to rule out things like backreferences isn't clear communication.

You have to understand what is known of the physics before you can philosophize usefully about the metaphysics, and that is what the physicists who are thinking about things like "naturalness" are doing. As Eliezer Yudkowsky pointed out, millennia of epistemology did not prepare us for quantum mechanics, and Bergson's intuitions about time did not prepare him for relativity.
No, he’s saying exactly that they (the non-rich) have both a higher marginal propensity to consume and thus the wealth of a nation grows much faster with their income growth. But undoubtedly, he nestled it in crazy grammar.

If you insist on calling everyone corrupt, you remove all incentives not to be corrupt: after all, why bother if you red-faced constituents will scream invectives at you anyway?

By and large, a tiny fraction of civil servants steal from official accounts. This case is a strange consequence of the rather peculiar legal standing of the sheriff’s office, in one particularly backward US state.
This looks interesting... No pricing listed, but I'm guessing it will be between $200 to $400. My main issue with "smart" devices is the price vs the longevity.

(Cameras + bulbs + switches + doors + sensors) * how many rooms you have = this automated home thing get's expensive really fast.

And then you end up with a not so smart home. Not to mention the struggle that's to figure out what devices talks to what system and the many apps... everyone want's to make their own app, and then you need a middleman app to talk to other apps. All of this work, and in 5 years you will probably need to replace everything. Just thinking about it, a smart home today will probably devalue the price of your home in 10 years.

It's not about sticking up for sheriffs. It's about telling the truth without sensationalizing it. What the sheriff did was bad enough, there's no need to embellish.
When you add energy input to a system, it doesn't immediately reach its new equilibrium temperature. That's not an analogy, it's another example of the same physical process.
As a woodworker, I'd appreciate that kind of amperage in my garage.
I think you're splitting hairs now. Once you have a hypothesis, you can come up with a promise. IF there are (or are not) more supersymmetric particles at higher energies, THEN we can leverage X plus this to move towards possibly curing cancer [or whatever, I have no idea].

The word "promise" doesn't just mean that something will definitely happen, it has a secondary meaning of something being promising, having "the quality of potential excellence".

It's about articulating where this experiment slots into the context, articulating why it's interesting to look at this thing, and not the fifteen other things that won't be funded if your thing does.
Probably true, I am extremely picking about UI/UX and have opinionated views on software.

Airtable does have much better documentation (case-studies, intro videos, API docs, forums), better marketing, wider adoption and growing numbers of features, these were some of the reasons I chose it over other options at similar price points / features.

Normally when I adopt a software for long term use, I benchmark as many aspects as I possibly can (e.g. setup a simple db schema, see how many metric reviews on reddit|slant|g2|alternativeto.net there are, dig through all of their documentation quickly to see how easy or difficult it is to search things, check how user friendly forums are, compare features, gauge their business-level decisions / longevity, etc)

My use of "mediocre" might be overstated here, they are fine alternatives just not to my liking.

Legal recourse for a small homeowner against a large corporation is/was not a likely solution.

I have two mechanical keyboards. One is a Corsair K70 with Cherry reds that I use for gaming at home. The other is a Velocifire T11 with brown (non-Cherry) switches that I bought for $37 on Amazon, which I use at work.

The K70 I've had for at least 5 years now, and it still works flawlessly. The T11 I've had for about a year and a half, and it also works flawlessly.
It seems important to distinguish between wire rating (guage, junction, and length) vs fuse rating. Typically, you would fuse well below the wire rating (at least 25%) so unless you're worried about the breaker box flipping, ruining at 90% of the fuse rating is reasonable (if it is a stable 'non-inductive' load). Besides, Tesla (non-super) chargers are typically limited by the vehicle.
Can we make mental health diagnoses as routine as blood work?
> A good hypothesis results in the same experiment as its negative: "There are more supersymmetric particles at higher energies" is the same hypothesis as "There are not more supersymmetric particles at higher energies" because you test both hypotheses in the same way. Contrast this with a promise: you can't promise something and its opposite.

Again, use the word promise here with its other meaning and it makes perfect sense. Both framed questions have the promise of revealing something big. They are not a guarantee of a big result but there is the possibility of a big result.
What Is the Difference Between JSP and JSF?
"Starving" probably not. Using expired food, creating gruels, making the inmates sick, forcing inmates to steal food with violence -- is a bit more accurate title. Here is an example Arizona sheriff laughing as he makes inmates rotten food [1]. I would suspect many inmates do begin the starvation process and become violently ill. (NOTE: many of these inmates have not been convicted of a crime, this is county jail).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGLDnRX10gA
"To starve" is sometimes used informally to mean "to withhold food from" without implying a long-term, chronically-deprived condition.

I do agree with you, though, that the author shouldn't have used the word.
This is my memory of it, albeit from a long time ago.

The retail market for personal computers was very different in the mid to late 80s. I remember going to Ferranti-Dege, a camera store in Harvard Square, to buy an Apple ][+ when they first came out, and then upgraded to an Apple //e a few years later at the Harvard Coop. Buying computers and accessories like floppy disks meant going to specialized, usually small retailers.

Commodore saw an opportunity to market their very inexpensive VIC-20, and then Commodore 64, through a much broader range of stores. You started seeing VIC-20s at Toys R Us and other big chain stores. The mom & pop computer stores could not compete on price with the bigger stores, so they stopped selling Commodore machines.

The Amiga was a serious computer when it came out, and it was too high end for toy stores, etc. to carry. With the bridges burned to the other distribution channels (at least in the US) the average shopper never saw an Amiga on the shelf. Mind you, this was still in an era when Texas Instruments was selling the TI-99/4A and Atari was selling the 400 and 800, so there were other options on the shelves.
Browns, clear, grey, green, white are nonlinear as well: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_(keyboards)

Subjectively I like cherry more than Mathias so far from the typing feel. I built keyboards with blues, greens, and reds, and I got one keyboard with Mathias switches. I like Topre even more than Cherry. But it's all very subjective.
My experience is also that the randomness increased over the recent years. That also means sometimes I get 40+ points for something that wasn't even worth one upvote in my opinion.

Seeing as how Scott Kelly is not severely mutated (or dead, as the article says), this should be an indication that something is wrong with the reporting.

The profit motive keeps the grid healthy. If utilities suddenly become strapped for cash, the grid suffers. And transitioning from internal combustion to pulling power from the grid will decrease resources needed for creating energy and upend the gasoline distribution economy.
Your preference for bigger government is so incredibly dangerous that you have no idea what kind of Pandora's Box you are jonesing so hard for.

Strengthening property rights could accomplish most of the same objectives. Why is it that every time we have a problem people run to government which always and forever seeks to expand its powers and levels of control at the cost of the individual? Seems to me if a coal company was washing shit into my well and poisoning my water supply on my property I should have a strong case there. But no, instead of holding that company accountable to the damage done to my property, we have corrupt officials running interference for Joe's Coal Mining, Inc. because they are bought off. The EPA hasn't helped much, either, because they are bought off by lobbyists, too. Stronger property rights does away with EPA lackeys, the lobbyists, the corrupt politicians. But we never do that. Now ask yourself why is that? There could be much simpler legal remedies with TEETH if we wanted to have them, but we don't.

The US needs to rein in its corruption and there is a lot of it. We should do it before we're a hopeless 3rd World nation, and we're heading there fast.
Lots of our technology cannot work without the support of a complex society and I think you can't have that without court and some kind of rules. We are interdependent.
Maybe Nobody Wants Your Space Internet
That's simply not true. Once you have a hypothesis, you do not come up with a promise. You come up with a test.

Promise and Promising do not have the same meaning.

promise = statement that something will happen

promising = showing signs of future success
I don't think anyone should be shamed for trying to make a conversation more honest, even if they seem to be serving the bad guy. Criticizing the word usage doesn't tip the scale toward the sheriff much at all.
> Uhh Satoshi is Nick Szabo...

My bet would rather be on Dave Kleiman

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Kleiman

His death 2013 fits well with the public disappearance of Satoshi Nakamoto. Also Dave Kleiman worked in computer forensics and was from very early on involved in the Bitcoin community.

It is well-known that Dave Kleiman and the "self-claimed Satoshi Nakamoto" Craig Steven Wright knew each other (Craig Steven Wright claimed that they collaborated when creating Bitcoin). Also the fact that Craig Steven Wright could convince people that are deeply involved in the Bitcoin community in a one-on-one interview that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, provides strong evidence that Craig Steven Wright knew lots of obscure things about Satoshi Nakamoto "that only Satoshi Nakamoto should be able to know". If he knew this information from Dave Kleinman, this can be plausibly explained.
Can someone explain to me how this works? Who are the miners? Where is the competition to mine blocks? How is the system distributed such that one entity can't back-propagate fabricated blocks into the chain?
"It seems like a poorly constructed argument to suppose that creativity is a required element to be the party responsible for creating a copy."

It was. I elided, either deliberately or otherwise (I'm honestly not sure myself), a discussion on the idea that creativity is the standard in the ability to have copyright on something, and thus if you use that as a sort of guideline by choice, then you can make an argument that somebody who isn't bringing any creativity to the party can't be said to be the one who has produced any useful work. Therefore, the question is, if the end-user can't be said to have had any hand in creating the work, who did? Well, the only people left are the developers of the merging code. If it's not legal for said developers to simply distribute the result of the merge, how can it be legal for the result of the merge to appear on someone else's desktop anyhow, if the user didn't really do anything to produce it?

Basically, this asks the question "What is distribution in a world of computing devices, anyhow?" And I reiterate I'm not trying to take a position here per se, but simply pointing out that there is a question here. The ideas of distribution were created before we were all equipped with multiple powerful media engines of our own.

So the copy machine metaphor is not relevant, because copy machines fit into the old paradigm handily. We're not talking about simple copying or we'd already know the answer as to whether or not it is legal, give or take a bit of EULA.

Fair use is unlikely to be even slightly relevant here, for all kinds of reasons. The internet conception of "fair use" does not legally exist, and the legal one seems irrelevant anyhow, since we're stipulating that the end-user has a license to at least the original manifestation of the copyrighted work anyhow. This is the sort of thing I was referring to when I said that step one is understanding there is a problem at all; in my experience most people grappling with these questions get so hung up on the things they want to be able to do that they can't see past those to the underlying issues. The simple truth is that just like pretty much everything else in life, a fair, equitable, and coherent legal answer to these questions may result in you being told you can't do something you want to do, but you can take some comfort in the fact that you won't be the only one, and the result is fair and equitable. (Of course the odds of us getting a fair and equitable legal answer approach zero, especially in light of the fact that virtually nobody has even thought about these issues coherently in the first place.)

Due to property rights, all pollution was illegal prior to the EPA.

The EPA's purpose is to determine how much pollution is allowed.

During the immediate period prior to the EPA, it wasn't so much it was legal, but the courts began to ignore property rights due to the pressures of what was believed to be common good to let industries thrive.

In some cases property rights are much stricter and can be better enforced, in other cases they are more difficult in areas such as air pollution.
> Rust's (safe) pointers and references don't throw exceptions on explicit use

Which essentially goes at the cost of having Java-style semantic memory leaks (very generally, _any_ kind of keeping-an-object-as-long-as-at-least-one-reference-exists suffers from it) => we still have to pick our poison (personally, I _strongly_ prefer to avoid refcounting, and it does work like a charm in a few very serious million-LoC/billions-transactions projects, but I do agree that opinions may differ).
> This is an incredibly defeatist/self pitying line of thinking that I'm seeing more of (the world is stacked against me, you have to be born into it, etc) and is related to a lot of other self-defeating thought patterns.

Can you back up this statement? Why is it self-defeating? You put it in your post as if it somehow logically follows from the rest but it doesn't.

The claim is that people who were not born or just lucked into connections with the rich and powerful are going to have to work significantly harder or get lucky to get access to those opportunities. While the people that do, can put some work in and basically claim the opportunity or just simply try again without significant loss or even having to settle for less.

"Lots of counterexamples" don't mean anything unless you can show that there are in fact so many counterexamples that they outnumber them in a similar ratio as the people in the first group utterly outnumber the people in the latter group. Or even by a factor of ten.

But they don't and almost nobody would be having this discussion if they did.

> Maybe it's just that bad news is much easier to see, thanks to the web, so people think bad behavior is more common now, and it's turning people cynical.

And you're going to need more than those words to properly argue that this is a bad thing.

Because a lot of bad news wasn't visible enough. And people have been underestimating the magnitude of bad behaviour. And a lot of people in a lot of places in the world most definitely aren't being cynical enough.

Sure there are psychological downsides to being bombarded with bad news and negative information all day, and we need to find ways to handle that, for our collective mental health. Doesn't mean the bad news is somehow wrong or faulty.
