I work remote now, but before I switched to my current job, when I still had a commute (and by Bart in bay area too, no less -- a notoriously uncomfortable commute if you're not familiar), the last backpack I used was this "Slim Laptop Backpack". https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RRHNLXC/

Basically, I realized that pretty much the only thing I needed to carry to and from work was my laptop (13" MBP at the time). I had a few other things like earphones, ibuprofen, etc. but they all fit inside small compartments in that slim backpack.

That was my favorite commute backpack by far. On the train, it lets you not take off your backpack, and still not be a bother to others. It satisfies your bonus points for water/snow resistance if it's raining or snowing, because you can just wear it underneath your bigger jacket.
No, of course not. But over the years I’ve heard tons of anecdotal and second-hand stories about yelp doing variations of this but nothing concrete or well-documented. That, and knowing that these kinds of scammers exist.
The big picture: Scott Walker, 1943-2019
How many people are actually detained? How long they're detained for? What requirements have been made for the population when they're not detained (e.g. submitting biometric data)?

These are all questions to which the answer is at best murky.

Facts answering these questions would empower opponents of Chinese oppression. Whether that would be enough to offset the privacy issues is a fair debate. But it's not like you're losing anything the Chinese panopticon hasn't already taken away.
I’d trust a reputable news outlet to do the vetting of the story, but that never seems to happen with these Reddit posts. They just become cultural artifacts and get repeated ad nauseum.
Because I don’t know what a “stolon helm chart” is, other than possibly some kind of Norse relic, and in the amount of time it will take me to find out I can have an easily-scalable, reliable, secure database in place using something like RDS.

Sometimes—if you have the skill, knowledge, and resources—it will make sense to run your own HA database cluster, with a good backup system, automatic failover, and all the rest of the nice things you want. Other times, it would be more expensive and less reliable to set up and maintain that infrastructure versus a third-party service. There is no “one size fits all” solution to this sort of problem.
Do you mean OTA or just any attack because I think non-autonomous vehicles would have the same concerns... or really any equipment with embedded computers.
I sent you an email, hopefully we can talk. I find this intriguing and would like your opinion on whether or not my idea has legs. Thanks for posting.
This. So many people in this thread seem to think that an email needs to be from a Nigerian Prince to be spam.

This isnt necessarily an experiment, users' perception of how might not be a concern at this time, and there's different kinds of Wizard of Oz exercises.

For example, when I first learned the term (in HCI, or human factors engineering), they used the example of a mockup by photocopier designers, in which obviously the people using it knew there was a human moving sheets of paper to the slots.

Maybe there's a better term?
They've been out of use at the major supermarkets in Melbourne since last year. I support the change.

However, I find the "bring your reusable bag" system unworkable for the following reason: I don't always know I'm going to go to the supermarket in advance, and don't always go straight from home. Sometimes I'd like to go on the way home from work, but I can't, because my bags are at home.

Can anyone explain why we don't simply have a system where you borrow reusable bags for a refundable deposit, then bring them back all at once when you're ready? I want to just pay 50c for each bag I borrow, let them pile up at home until I have 10 or 20, then bring them all back and get my money back - maybe minus 10 cents to run the system. This was we reuse bags, but I don't have to bring them with me, which is just impractical sometimes. This seems obvious to me, but I haven't seen it anywhere. Obviously, people would be free to still bring their own bags if they prefer.
I rewatch it about once a year, and it's amazing to me how well it's held up. Honestly, it's just a really well-made film from every angle; not perfect, but very solid.

The sequels don't hold up as well, graphically-speaking, but they are definitely better than most people give them credit for. Deeply, deeply flawed movies, but still enjoyable.
Because Arwen could not have ridden against the 9, at all. They could have replaced Glorfindel or removed him, i understand, but the powers he had came from having lived over the sea. Arwen was born in Middle Earth and simply could not do what was attributed to her in the films. (It is the earliest lore incompatible change that springs to mind)
What kind of tin foil hat is this? Isn't it simply more likely that any number of announced opponents, Republican, Democratic or independent would dig up dirt (real or otherwise)?

I ask this every time a Yelp story emerges: where is the evidence commensurate to the claim about Yelp’s reputation? It would make a fantastic news story, any reporter would leap at it, so where is it? Every time I ask this people “cite” Reddit and a bunch of blog posts, so I’m still waiting for evidence.

Now I don’t like Yelp. Fakespot often finds loads of fake reviews and that’s a problem, but one unrelated to Yelp’s social media “reputation.”
I can be in favor of a per bag charge or tax or other alternatives, if that’s what needs to happen. I’m not arguing that a ban is the solution, just pointing out that single use plastics do use a crazy amount of resource compared to the benefit they provide. That’s tautologically true regardless of environmental concerns, right? We don’t put on a brand new shirt every single day or buy a new car every time we drive, right?

I admit I’m a tad skeptical that there’s ever a true “need” for single use bags & containers. Entire countries are proving this isn’t the case. Once time has passed and everyone expects to have to bring their bags, there’s no problem. This is what already happens outside the U.S.

Keep in mind when citing numbers about the environmental offset of cotton bags that plastic single use bags are not offset at all, they’re basically 100% damage. And how many re-uses of a plastic bag would it take to offset them?

Estimating the reuse numbers isn’t comparing apples to apples, IMO, it’s using narrative to make reusable bags sound tedious and inconvenient. My wife and I have some reusable bags that we’ve used daily for years, possibly a decade. I’m sure we’ve used them thousands of times, if low hundreds of uses is all it takes, then it’s really not very hard to achieve offset once you get some good bags.
Perhaps the real question is not whether we will survive the AI apocalypse, but whether we will survive the existential tsunami that will probably pour forth if we fail to build God and devoid of a God that could be dug out of the past or created in the future, humanity is, in a way never before known, condemned to be free and everything is rendered impossible.
Oh my God they're literally bike shedding bike shedding.
Of course, but the opcode is lower level than that. And that was what the parent comment mentioned.
I don't see it that way. The comments are there to prevent others from re-inventing the wheel, to share insights, etc. Yes, sometimes that also highlights a "bug" or some other "flaw" but that's the rare exception.

Maybe it would help if you listed some links to language docs that you feel the rest should use as benchmarks?
> To what degree is a culture's view of moderate speech different than its influence of "soft power"?

Google/Facebook/Twitter are pretty darn conservative about what they censor. "Hate speech is bad" is technically a cultural statement, I guess, but one I feel wholly comfortable spreading everywhere.
> they explicitly mention not being allowed to send it externally[0]; they hash it via SHA1, encode it as base64, and use that value.

If it's sending that value out, then there is no logical difference between that and just sending out the machine-id in the first place.
ITT: this person is provided with many alternatives to help not use plastic, but is somehow able to find a problem with all of it.

Newsflash: we fucked up. big time. we're all very comfortable with our wasteful lives. It's going to be uncomfortable to change our behavior. It's worth it.
> In most places, regulation is a minor hurdle for a decent real estate investor, all of whom regard single-family and small multi-family dwellings as a slobber-inducing opportunity when demand is high.

But you're conflating the two types of places: most places aren't "high" demand, and those that do have super inflated costs also have processes by which developers are regularly stopped. California in particular has this problem.

In fact reading your post really made it clear to me the dichotomy between places that welcome new people and have governments that try to serve the people (by letting developers build), and places that try to enrich current residents by blocking out newcomers and thereby forcing demand to be far higher than supply.

China itself is Taiwan's top trading partner

https://www.trade.gov.tw/english/Pages/Detail.aspx?nodeID=94...

Followed by the US. China does not need to "pressure its trading partners".

Taiwan has its own currency, does not pay tax to the mainland, has a real democracy, and is an ally to the US.

Chinese passports can devote a page to whereever they want, it means nothing.

Interesting fact... phone numbers in the Taiwanese capital begin 02. That's because when the KMT invaded, they reserved 01 for Nanjing, their base of operations when they were the mainland government, and for whatever reason they wanted to believe they would be able to retake it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_numbers_in_Taiwan#Ar...

Does this mean Taiwan owns Nanjing? :-) Nor does the passport page act as a deed of ownership for Taiwan...
This type of deferral does end up being a tax dodge if the ETF is inherited. As of 2018, you get to leave up to 11 million to your heirs tax free, AND they get a free step up in cost basis.
Clinton has said that she won't be running for president. Would be interesting if someone picked her as a VP but honestly seems like a political third rail, at least in this cycle. I think running for president puts you in a different news spectrum; everyone's going to be gunning for you if they can because it'll rocket a journalist's career if they take down a candidate.

Dallas had something similar during the short period of time we had a 5¢ (or was it 10¢?) plastic bag fee [0].

CVS and 7/11 replaced their bags with "reusable" plastic bags that were thicker and sturdier than the usual bags. They made a huge stink in the press about how instead of providing single-use bags for the fee, they were getting rid of them entirely, but it was just a smokescreen.

This at least was a better solution than what everyone else did. Walmart brought their self-checkout lines to a screeching halt, because you had to go up to an attendant and tell them exactly how many plastic bags you wanted before you could bag anything. I came close to just getting rolls of quarters and saying "as many as this can buy". Other supermarkets, such as Tom Thumb (owned by Safeway and later Albertsons) would've been seamless if not for the cashiers insisting on overstuffing the bags to the point stuff falling out and the bags ripping because they "just want to save you money". I had to keep asking them "please split that into two bags, because it's going to rip open on the way home", and the cashier would shout at me "But I'm trying to save you money!". Again, I fantasized about handing them whole rolls of quarters and saying "this many bags, please", just to shut them up.

[0] Yeah, that was a disaster. It was massively unpopular, and less than a year later, we had city council elections, and the new council voted to repeal the fee. Not terribly long after that, there was a court ruling that determined that cities in Texas couldn't put any kind of restrictions on plastic bags because Texas has a really ambiguously-worded law about reserving waste-management decisions to the state government only (the legal challenge had actually begun before the Dallas bag fee even began, and there are still a lot of arguments over that ruling because that law is so poorly-written that it can be interpreted in so many ways).
> Removing it just makes it more difficult to write legit programs

Yeah, that's something I simply could not care less about.

That said, I don't remove it. I set its permissions so that it isn't world-readable instead.

Basically right, except for one detail: Heavier recumbent bikes are slower to get up hills, due to being heavier. But that extra weight actually makes them faster going downhill. Not enough to be faster overall if the power source is still one person pedaling, but still.

Source - I was part of a project in college that built a recumbent tandem bike. We built the frame out of large-diameter steel tubing, and it was quite heavy. I followed it on a normal bicycle several times while testing. Even with 2 people pedaling, it was easy to keep up with going up hills. It would tend to get away from me going downhill though.

Do you not read the news? Is it not weird to you that everything appears simultaneously everywhere all of a sudden, immediately after the guy mentioned that he _might_ run? It's like with Trump: before he ran, he was a beloved American icon (no joke, just take a look at what the magazines said of him like 5 years ago), immediately after he entered the race _all_ of the "free" press does a 180, and he's literally Hitler all of a sudden. Why would that be, I wonder. Could it be because basically all of US "free" press is owned by like 5 people who coordinate the narratives and work with powers that be? Is that a tinfoil hat or does this sound plausible to you?
Scalar replacement of aggregates means replacing an object allocated on the heap (for example, Point p = new Point) by local variables corresponding to its fields (double x, double y)

Removing the object allocation saves time and puts less pressure on the GC. Replacing the instance variables with local variables may also allow the compiler to optimize some things that it would not have attempted to optimize before. For example, storing them on machine registers.
I agree that, short-term, emotions change perception of reality. Or at least, past trauma and other experiences from the past feed heavily into perception. But my own experience is that the link from perception to emotions is more profound and effective. A few words, formulating crucial information, can turn around your emotions 180 degrees. „I‘m pregnant“, „You have cancer“, „I‘m sorry“, etc. The other direction seems way more subtle to me.
You can easily recognize 500 words (~750 characters) within a month. Picking them up after you learn everything else becomes even harder.

As a person who learned and teaches it, don't skip the characters.
MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) is one, though it has quite a few problems, as you can read here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics

Another interesting one is Superfluid Dark Matter (first proposed, to my knowledge, here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1507.01019).

Those are just a few, there are probably more theories that I haven't heard about. Whatever the case, Sabine Hossenfelder recently posted three videos about Dark Matter/MOND/Superfluid Dark Matter that I wholeheartedly recommend:

>The problem is that there's just too much out there--too many books, movies, TV shows, news articles, blog posts. No one has time to keep up with it, so some sort of cultural selection process is necessary.

As an economist, you'd expect them to have trouble attracting highly skilled people seeking only wages.

On the other hand, also as an economist and from my own personal experience, there's a whole host of non-monetary benefits a flexible business can provide (which other businesses and corporates seem to balk at), and there's also the little talked about preference of some people wanting a negative correlation between pay and hours the job at the margin.

I've got my own stories. Issues I've had at previous employers include remote working, flexible hours, leave, intellectual property disputes over my own work, or non compete/ non publication issues.

When I left my previous job at banking, I actually interviewed for a lower paid position at uni of Melb. We got to the stage where we were all happy, only I said "I'll work for you if I can do 4 days a week, because I want to send time with my family and working on my own projects".

The bureaucracy said no.

I walked away and I'm back in a higher paying job again...(but with better hours and conditions than my previous ones).

Its always amazing to me the lengths businesses will go to in order to not hire the right staff...

Not true. It's a completely standard technique to pull down on the handlebars to exert more force than your body weight on the pedals. Watch any video of a pro cyclist climbing hills, or sprinting on a straight.
I think there's lots of work to be done in quantifying and comparing discrepencies and lack of confidence in neural net classifications and sensor/model outputs. Part of this is human interface design.

An example of this is the "sensor disagree" light on the Boeing 737 max (which unfortunately was optional equipment not installed for the Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max crash), although I do believe we can do much better than a mere light. A full screen and a sound system with over-the-air updates means we ought to be able to field a really good (and continuously improving) system for communicating when the autopilot's sensors disagree or if the model has low confidence.

This is likely going to take years or even decades of operational use over millions of vehicles to refine with good confidence.

> Keep in mind when citing numbers about the environmental offset of cotton bags that plastic single use bags are not offset at all, they’re 100% damage. And how many re-uses of a plastic bag does it take to offset?

I don't understand what you're saying here. Both cotton and plastic bags produce some emissions; which one produces more will vary depending on how often each type is reused. I need some way to carry stuff.

> My wife and I have some reusable bags that we’ve used daily for years, possibly a decade. I’m sure we’ve used them thousands of times, it’s really not very hard to achieve offset once you get some good bags.

And I'm guessing you have a car.

To be clear, my life will continue without plastic bags, so in that sense, there's no "need". But I heavily suspect I'll end up producing more carbon overall, for a bunch of reasons I've explained upthread: I'll be using more paper bags (which I can't reuse), and I'll be buying plastic trash bags.
Hey thanks for the feedback! Mobile was definitely an after thought so I'll have to look into the swiping idea.

- Prefetching next follower makes a lot of sense

- I originally only wanted to show the last 5 tweets, but Twitter's API is weird. Adding the option to hide retweets should be doable.

- "Sort by last activity": YES! I 100% agree it makes way more sense to list by oldest follows first, however, again Twitter's API limits this :( I could go through and pull ALL follows up front, which I may do eventually.

- I can definitely display the bio

Thanks again for the feedback!
> That is not a sustainable Vision because it is defined in negative terms rather than positive sentiment, and it doesn’t provide a reason to remain in the Rebel Alliance after the Empire is defeated.

This is also the main problem with today's Democratic Party.
FWIW, I’ve been in the industry even longer than that. And yes, senior developers have the leverage to sometimes negotiate for more. But that doesn’t mean it’s not the most common policy or that most people (especially those in less in-demand occupations) aren’t stuck with it. Nor that it doesn’t influence how people interpret unlimited-PTO policies.

As for me, most of the 10-day-PTO gigs were earlier in my career (startups seem to almost universally opt for “unlimited”). Going into the most recent one, I had other priorities to negotiate for.

But mostly, the way we think about time off and work/life balance in the US bites.
