However, that doesn't mean that annotating content or making it more clear that a different (Firstname Lastname) did something might be a better response. For example, I have never created an account on facebook, linkedin, twitter, etc. I refuse to give any one company a defacto monopoly over social discourse and interaction; those tools belong on OPEN, FREE (libre+beer), well defined minimum interoperable standard platforms. Currently that's email; it really sucks, but the standard is well defined, anyone /can/ implement it without barriers, and everyone is forced to federate to at least some degree.

Assuming perfectly spherical cars on perfectly consistent highways in a vacuum.
I have a similar but not exact conclusion. I'm jobless, long term. I have a diploma and enough brain capacity to get a good paying job. For reasons I stopped. I went to pursue lots of things, with some success (I managed to crack stuff that I couldn't for years outside of school, group and help). And at that point, I'd serve coffee with pleasure.

It's not really that I need people to care about my things, more like I value a lot more sharing/helping people. And tech/science very rarely do so directly. Maybe it's an age thing. At one point you don't want to satisfy your ego, but take care of others (while earning a living).

Also, I have enough parts and ideas to have 10 companies. But as you say, to be fulfilling it would require partners in venture.
And if you combine this nonsense with the pending SB 1204 in California, just the act of helping someone screen a client (or even handing a streetwalker a condom) will become pandering and therefore a felony punishable by 3+ years in prison. Do you feel safer yet?

A prospective Eric could engage in some formal process to require distinctive detail be added to that 'accusation' so that it does not defame the Eric which did not drive drunk.
There is a team at NASA tracking all that stuff though

>NASA and the DoD cooperate and share responsibilities for characterizing the satellite (including orbital debris) environment. DoD’s Space Surveillance Network tracks discrete objects as small as 2 inches (5 centimeters) in diameter in low Earth orbit and about 1 yard (1 meter) in geosynchronous orbit. Currently, about 15,000 officially cataloged objects are still in orbit. The total number of tracked objects exceeds 21,000. Using special ground-based sensors and inspections of returned satellite surfaces, NASA statistically determines the extent of the population for objects less than 4 inches (10 centimeters) in diameter.

So why make it a felony to do sex-worker outreach then? Because that's what being proposed in California with SB 1204.

The idea of sex as a human right isn't absurd, just controversial. An example is a severely disabled person unable to find a partner. Criminalizing prostitution between two willing parties, could be seen as restriction of the right to a fundamental human experience.

That's the basis of the argument anyway.
In the same way that hiring illegal immigrants hurts the market position of low-skilled domestic workers, hiring prostitutes hurts the market position of women who could otherwise demand more in exchange for sex.

Where did taxpayers come into it?
You can't create gists without an account anymore, but there's no account requirement to simply view them.

Trying to get a traditional employer to hire you is a radically different proposition than entrepreneurship -- which holds vastly more appeal for older people, who are possibly wiser, and probably more financially secure, than their younger selves.
I think about it in relation to how much responsibility each person in the team is comfortable taking.

If you're responsible to solve tickets, you're probably junior. If you're responsible for implementing features, mid. If you're responsible for making sure the whole project will work in time for delivery, senior. And if you're responsible for making sure your team can deliver the project on time, lead.
Structural sharing. It means you don't have to copy the whole data structure but just the path to the root.
Exactly. I am personally all for replacing it with open source decentralized options, I am even working to further that cause, but do you actually think that'll happen anytime soon? Network effects are not so easily replaceable...
That's the problem with platforms like slack, the question is decoupled from the answer and it usually isn't archived in a searchable way. The next person googling that question will have to ask it again instead of just looking up the answer.

That makes a lot of sense. Ultimately, credit card breaches are merely inconvenient to consumers, because fraudulent charges can be reversed. It's the card companies who care, because they eat the cost.
Are you saying that they just want more work?

I was thinking that they wanted it to be more hidden... so that they could ignore it.
Shall we go back to the old days, then? Because there were no crap games then.

The solution is better curation and discoverability. Not harsher gate-keepers and horribly difficult development.

So many incredible games wouldn't exist without modern development tools. Just because you were mildly inconvenienced the last you time browsed an app store, don't wish it all away.
It's still far more seamless with java 8 than any other language. I don't care about superficial syntax similarity, that is not really the point. Nicer interoperability with java streams would be good though.

I'm trying to figure out what the basis is for the implementation of the sorted map. For example, in related project https://github.com/orium/rpds they explicitly note that they are basing their sorted map on Okasaki red-black tree.

People (women or otherwise) who are trading sex for goods and services in the market are prostitutes.
Saying investigators are interested in the details surrounding individuals at the time of a crime (and presenting those individuals, not even as suspects, but merely as 'persons for which additional information is desired') is a truthful and accurate statement and does not assert any actual accusation of guilt. As such a fact it should be part of the public record regarding such a matter.
This looks really cool! However I'm confused by in the article it says that one of the downsides us that the blog's style cannot be changed. Then in the glyph readme's, it talks about themes and templates. Can this be expounded upon/clarified? Thanks and very clever stuff.
Yes! This!

We've all read reflections on trusting trust... still my point stands, it's hard to argue that Linux is not lighter than the mainstream OSes.
Most old people I know are either semi depressed, or not very happy (say slightly the middle point).

I also very very very often look a children. I know it's probably near impossible to recapture a virgin mind and its fresh experience of everything. But there's a musicality, in a physics lingo, a superb low impedance to their behavior. They just flow. And it speaks to me. After long periods of getting stuck in loops of browse/todolist/procrastinate. I find the idea of catching my own desires, no matter what, and just get moving; often by starting the motion, energy and happiness make a blip on the radar.

How? I'm only 27 but every time I try to tackle this problem raw panic prevents any reasonable thinking.

I've instead adopted a "when it happens I won't know" mindset and continue to work towards extracting maximum enjoyment from life.
You just have to reflash it and it'll be just fine, only the data is corrupt. But that means that the whole OS has to be wiped; any saved files, programs, configurations, etc. are gone and have to be redone.

Not the end of the world, but if that happens almost everytime you unplug something (possibly accidentally), it can be a huge nuisance. I use my pi with octoprint so I'm not even doing many writes (only on file upload).
The first page I get when Googling "effects of minimum wage", [1], does not take a particularly simplistic view of the issue. The first paragraph says:

> Recent research shows conflicting evidence on both sides of the issue. In general, the evidence suggests that it is appropriate to weigh the cost of potential job losses from a higher minimum wage against the benefits of wage increases for other workers.

An interesting side note is that it is libellous to maliciously publish details of a spent conviction; truth is not a defence (though it is on the prosecution to prove that it was malicious, AFAIK).
The Stack Overflow Age (by Joel Spolsky)
Note: I should add "effectively apply" to my above post. If journalist articles can't be found on aggregators, they being effectively censored even if they are allowed to be published.

That's the entire point of this. Right to be forgotten laws don't allow you to censor the intercept (a publication), but do allow you to force aggregators to remove the publication.

If you can prevent a journalists' article from ever being found, you have effectively censored it. Especially, this would impact a journal outside the "top 100" - Someone could conceivably search the 50 or 100 top publications but after that you need an aggregator. So essentially this would censor journalism.

And to my original point, it's not just about Google in particular since the alternative to Google is pretty much some other aggregator.
Same. I have a 32G Samsung EVO+ I use in a NUC with Linux that just went "read only" this week. 10 year warranty, and it's already setup for warranty replacement, which is sorta hilarious seeing as it cost $12, including the adapter (which itself is only warrantied for 1 year). I got 360 days out of the card, non-continuous use. But also interesting, they want the bad card returned to them - they're including a prepaid return shipping label.

The usage was just as a boot drive no user data: EFI FAT, ext4 /boot, Btrfs / using zstd and ssd_spread as the mount options.

FAT will mount ro or rw, but any writes fail

[140718.615921] print_req_error: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2048
[140718.615998] Buffer I/O error on dev mmcblk0p1, logical block 0, lost sync page write

Ext4 is similar but a lot more complaints from the mmc block driver, including an SDHCI REGISTER DUMP [1] which I can't make heads or tails of, but this is somewhat more revealing:

[142132.340226] f28s.local kernel: mmc0: Card stuck in wrong state! mmcblk0 card_busy_detect status: 0xf00

Btrfs also has lots of complaints [2] but mainly because it never gives up trying to write. So cancel that and mount with '-o ro,norecovery' and everything is there. One thing you'll see in the Btrfs output, is "corrupt 10" which is not a current event, just a counter that I never reset. A few months ago I did have a data file (not fs metadata) become corrupt which Btrfs caught. I was able to reinstall the RPM that provided that file. So who knows how that corruption would manifest without being caught by the file system.

The blkdiscard command succeeds without error, but also doesn't actually do anything, all data is still there.

There's precedent for this in some fields. The UK's Rehabilitation of Offenders Act prohibits asking about most old convictions in most circumstances precisely because it's better for society to give opportunities for ex-cons and yet most employers see a black mark on a record and run away.

I think it is a bandaid, but the proper solution would (1) require massive social engineering and (2) be really hard.
The latency comment for repeaters someone else made is important, but it also won't be going in a circle between satellites, but in straight lines through the circle (as far as geometry allows), which will help shave a few ms.
> However, as far as I am aware, Japanese does does have the /jɛ/ sequence for some reason.

I'm stretching a little bit, because I've looked into this in idle curiosity before.

The only connection I can think of is the brand "Ebisu", written "ヱビス", and sometimes romanized to "Yebisu". The character itself seems to be from a historical "we" kana, and I'm not sure of the reason for that.

Oh, and there's an archaic hiragana (but no katakana equivalent?) for "ye" (/jɛ/): 𛀁.
Out of personal curiosity: I was in Boston for a while maybe 10-12 years ago, and remember thinking that the T was so far beyond what most other cities had, and served even the outlying areas well enough via the bus connections. (And I was previously from Philly, so no stranger to decent public transit)

In that context I'm surprised to hear you say that the T sucks. Is it that my memory is far out of date with respect to how the city grew? Or are my standards very low? (Also viable is that I was lucky in that the routes I needed to take were well served, usually starting from Cambridge)

To give another point of comparison, in Seattle now, I would give an arm and a leg for something even roughly comparable to my memory of the T, let alone SEPTA/subways. Baltimore was similar, in having little to nothing outside of unreliable and sparse buses, and token light rail only along 1-2 "primary" corridors.
Finding better clients and projects beats hell out of returning to standard employee status. (IMHO, and IME.)
I'm not even convinced that illegal immigration necessarily harms low-skilled domestic workers. At least in California's Central Valley (with which I'm at least somewhat familiar, having grown up there and having family and friends there), there's a significant shortage of agricultural labor because illegal immigrants are facing crackdowns while legal residents seem to have no desire to fill the positions even at $20+/hr wages. The only option farmers have left is automation, which would actively reduce the number of jobs available and be just as "harmful".

Taxpayers might be harmed, but I suspect they'd be harmed much more severely by food prices skyrocketing because farms don't have sufficient labor to keep up with the demand from a growing national population (let alone global; California is the leading - and in some cases the only significant - exporter of a staggeringly-large number of fruits and vegetables).

Meanwhile, cracking down on illegal immigrants' ability to work and live in the US gives employers of said immigrants more leverage ("work these long hours for chump change or we'll report you and your whole family to the authorities"). Amnesty programs and other means to convert illegal immigrants into legal immigrants shifts at least some leverage back to the illegal worker, which then allows better negotiating power for higher wages and thus addresses the supposed problem that illegal workers are undercutting legal workers.
If I am understanding what you are asking, then yes - in theory, one (ok - an advanced species; note, that is not humans - not yet) could consume all the materials of the Earth, convert them, and turn them into "things" that are in space; in short, strip mining the Earth until it was completely gone.

Certainly that could be done in theory - but the amount of energy it would take would be of a scale we haven't even begun to barely imagine. We certainly aren't generating that amount to do it, or harnessing such amount either.

So practically, the answer to your question is "no"; what we "send away" from the Earth is negligible.

In order for you to understand why, I encourage you to research the scale of things you are trying to understand. The Earth is big - really big. It may not seem like it, but it really is. What might cause you both a bit of "fright" and "wonder" though is the atmosphere: Compared to the Earth, the atmosphere is thin - very thin. For instance, if you imagined a baseball as the planet Earth, the atmosphere would be a very thin layer over the surface of the baseball, much lower than the ridges formed by the lacings.

Then you compare the scale of the Earth (it's size) to that of say - Jupiter (heck, just the Great Red Spot!). Then compare Jupiter's size to the size of the Sun (hint: Jupiter is tiny).

Then compare the Sun to the size of our nearest neighboring star. Then compare the size of that to other known stars.

Eventually you get to the size of our galaxy - which is an insanely large collection of stars...

Then take a look at the Hubble Deep Space image - and realize that all of those points, far in the background - that all of those are each a galaxy, separated by vast distances from each other...

...and then realize that what we see on that image is only a tiny amount of the whole universe.

The Earth? Compared to all that, we aren't even the size of a quark on the butt of a bacterium...

Contact the platform to demand removal. The porn industry has SOPs for dealing with this problem, I am not a lawyer but I imagine that process can be generalized and legally enforced

It can actually, although perhaps a little indirectly. Off the top of my head, the credit card balance is a direct I put to both the Debt to Income Ratio (small affect), and Percentage of Revolving Credit Available (much larger affect). These are not deal breakers, but did lower the score at both places I worked where this mattered.

Maybe instead of relying on humans to suddently act differently than they ever have in thousands of years, we could just remove the stupid link.

I mean, listen to yourself.

Diet soda is either on the same level of harm as seltzer, or is worse. But I believe both to be healthier than any sugared soda.

Different diet sodas use different artificial sweeteners, so diet soda cannot be treated as a single group. Diet Coke uses only aspartame as sweetener; Coke Zero combines aspartame and acesulfame K to create a more realistic taste.

I readily believe that any diet soda sweetened purely with aspartame is harmless. The chemical structure of aspartame is such that stomach acids should break it down into aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol, the first two being ordinary amino acids. Methanol sounds threatening, but very little aspartame is needed to sweeten a beverage. I thus have no problem drinking diet coke.

What's more unclear is whether the sugar-like taste of artificial sweeteners affect the body's blood sugar regulation.

I think most people getting into electronics won't be doing analog designs. They'll probably be messing around with various sensor devkits (sparkfun, adafruit, etc.) and Arduinos/RaspberryPis/ESP8266. With these you'll be messing around with primarily I2C and SPI which is why a cheap logic analyzer is cool also they are much cheaper than an oscilloscope and some have some analog functionality.
