People could be called for jury duty either in the
state/county/local court system, or the federal court system.
Few criminal cases go to a jury trail, since >90% of them
plead out (aka plea bargain: plead guilty to lesser charges).

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/how-criminal-cases-a...

Being called for jury duty is a mild inconvenience. Serving on a jury
for more than a few days can be a significant inconvenience,
but most people should be glad to serve if they like
having a right to trail by jury.

Some counties in California like to call a lot of people often
for jury duty, and send most of them home without serving.
Many judges will consider "but I already served as a juror for X days
this/last year" when deciding whether to have a prospective
juror to serve or not.

California uses both DMV driver's license and county voter databases
to generate jury pool lists. The merge algorithm is, well, simple.
If you have a DL as J. Random Hacker and vote as John R. Hacker,
you are very likely to get called for jury duty twice as often.

True, I'm a bit harsh on this, but I also used the word usually instead of always on purpose. Yes, sometimes someone can really get blocked and not able to work, no problem to ask for help in this case. On the other hand I have seen it enough times that people (especially juniors and bosses) continuously ask question without having bothered to think about it prior. Forcing them to deal with a problem by themselves for a bit and not distract others has resolved many of them.

The key thing is being clear what communication and team culture you want to establish. I'm not just a grumpy guy that ignores messages or avoid helping others. It is something that has been discussed and agreed upon in the company and is expected to be respected by anyone no matter where the person is in the hierarchy.

The Album has always been a weird thing. Yes, the album as a concept has largely fallen off. It has very little advantage over a 2-4 song EP at this point. You no longer need to package weak b-sides in, because they're not going to get plays anyway. More bangers, less chaff.

But yea, you can still do a concept album like The Wall or Sgt. Pepper's. Kids doing drugs and laying around listing to weird noises for an hour+ is still a thing these days.

Per the common product safety standards (national standards based on IEC 60950-1, 60335-x, 62368-x), Class I and Class II construction are defined per the level and type of protection from shock for 'grounded' and floating enclosures, respectively.

Per your SMPS reference, the output reference depends on the design intent and intended end-use environment. Depending on the scoped standard, outputs greater than 50Vdc will require a minimum separation from the both exposed dead metal and stuff referenced to an earthing terminal. Where the output is considered safe to to touch, there are only functional spacings required. Also, Class II construction is, in fact, not intended to be 'grounded', and must not be a hazard for a fault condition where the enclosure touches either mains voltage or metal referenced to an earthing terminal.

Class II construction requirements are supposed to mitigate a single fault condition associated with seperation from and contact with a hazardous voltage or power source.

Most potentials between the user and ground are due to current flow through the y caps (noise filter caps rated to between a hazardous voltage level and the user). Touch current, depending on the scoped standard and category and class of equipment is typically limited to less to 5mA (some equipment is allowed 25mA). Class II equipment is typically limited to 250uA. Given the assumed human-body models in IEC60990, the voltage at max allowed current leakage would range from imperceptible to noticable but not effectual.

Shock hazards can exist from improper construction or improper installation and of equipment.

I think you're ascribing an intent that's just not there. Certainly I've never met anyone whose prime motivation was trying to screw rural folks. Certainly there are some people that are quite out of touch, but I think their heart is mostly in the right place.

In actual fact I've met many farmers, loggers, and even a friend in the petroleum industry that all take climate change very seriously.

Once you move away from partisanship, I think you'll find there's a lot of support for this even in places you wouldn't expect it.

Not exactly apples-to-apples but in 2018 Amazon was $180B in net sales vs eBay $95B GMV.

So you're comparing Amazon sales to eBay market value (total stock price). Yeah, it's completely meaningless comparison [Edit: I was wrong, it's Amazon sales versus eBay's gross merchandise value but it's still entirely off as a comparison].

Btw, my quickly googled references show eBay's net sales as 10.75B and Amazon's at $141.92B, which is indeed a more than 10x relations (when I think all other statistics show Amazon an order of magnitude ahead, not that I initially made any strong assertions about this but anyone looking has notice Ebay's star fading).

A bit of advice: Emacs can do so many things (there’s a web browser included out of the box), but that doesn’t mean you should use it for everything. Despite the fact that “applications” within Emacs are usually better integrated than those outside of it, they are oftentimes fairly buggy. Emacs has a horrible case of featureitis, so I try to limit my usage of the bundled features that aren’t well-maintained, of which there are many.

As many others have suggested, take a look at Evil, the best Vim emulation for any platform. Just ease your way into it by replacing Vim, then some other CLI programs, then figure out when to stop when the Emacs version is no better than what you were using before.

Yes, it's common, though in many cases it's an implicit rather than explicit part of the design—"deadline scheduling" is just what happens when you allow kernel-mode drivers to register CPU interrupts (usually, these days, coming from DMA completion events.)
Some airports have shuttles on private circuits to take you from one wing of an airport to another wing of the airport. The ones I've seen that have this either have a rail system, or a human driver. It would be much cheaper to just throw a bus with some software to track digital route markers and some visual matching for unexpected situations than to build a dedicated point to point system rail/track system (and maybe marginally cheaper than hiring someone, depending on other costs).

> The great musicians of 5he 19th century and earlier didn't make a living selling recordings and concerts.

Actually they did, certainly in the 19th century which was the era of the concert hall. Without recording technology, music had to be performed to be enjoyed. The market for live performances was much, much bigger. Because the market lacked the 'winner-take-all' aspect of today, the opportunity to make a living wage as a musician was easier than today.

So many words. What does it mean?
Issue #1 was annoying for me, so I hacked together the following solution: write an emacs function that detects situations where you feel emacs should quit (e.g., no windows left) and have it kill itself and the server when this happens. Then, write a launch agent to poll if the server is running and start it if not (pgrep is cheap enough that you can do this every few seconds). Finally, write an Automator app that will be your launch point for emacs, which receives files and opens them using the server.

It’s an annoying fix but when done right it feels exactly like emacs is a native app.

I am excited for you but that "journey of discovery" is way, way too addictive for me. I find myself chasing edge case requirements in my config rather than getting work done.

I still use Emacs when I ssh into my vps and, if I want primarily on Windows doing dev if Visual Studio, would likely use it for everything (as I did back when I was primarily on UNIX systems). Just writing this makes me think "maybe I'll install it on Windows on more time".

The core issue for me is context switching between Emacs and VS. Even with various keybinding tricks it is always awkward.

Best of luck on your journey with Emacs. Do it for me! :)
> Google profits off of its users in ways that are not aligned to their interests.

See this is not clear cut. Google profits off me, primarily when I click on an ad through search or through the display network. It's not clear either of these are non-aligned to my interests, or that I do all that badly out of it.

If Google shows me a search ad and I click on it, generating payment for Google, it's because I've searched for the item in the first place. I've shown an interest in the product. That's not obviously _not_ aligned to my interest. At best, it's kind of orthogonal. Google's entire search value prop, bear in mind, is 'only pay for people who are interested in your product'.

If I click on an ad through the Google Display Network, again it's likely because I've been on the website of the company that is retargeting me in the first place. Again, not obviously not in my interest.

On the other hand, the benefits that Google provides to me as a customer are so immense in terms of search, mapping, email, organization that it's difficult to say that I don't do enormously well out of the deal.

I'm putting up with a company making a profit from something that I was theoretically already interested in - in order to have an incredible service for free.

For Facebook and other third party ad networks it is less obvious, as their net contribution to society is arguably much more negative. But Google, it's really not clear.

Technically yes -- colormaps are 1-dimensional non-self intersecting curves in RGBA space. You just grab them by the... I mean just straighten them.

I don't know if an explicit formula for the colormap is given, but you can always do "xs = np.linspace(0,1,100); ys = { cm.hot(x):x for x in xs}" and recover an approximate inverse. Then apply this function to each pixel of the image.

Liquid fuel is volatile, but generally does not catch on fire on its own. Batteries can catch on fire if over or under charged. Batteries can catch on fire if punctured - liquid fuel can as well, but batteries do not need an external source. This means you need thermal management for your energy source and your power unit.

It's not as applicable for this class of aircraft, but batteries do not get lighter as they are expended.

Liquid fuel provides the same amount of unit energy until it is completely gone; batteries lose power over time, leading to lower horsepower at the end (this is a simplified point of view).
This interview sets up this false dichotomy where people ostensibly accessed music by spending $15 on a CD or not at all. The contention seems to be that piracy/Napster were a forgone conclusion because there was no real choice.

People listened to ad-supported radio or they listened to records socially or borrowed them. That’s how it worked for about 80 years.

I’m not defending the music industry, its practices, or its stalwart backwardness. But suggesting music was inaccessible is plainly false.

Electric engines have a number of properties that are great for aviation, namely the ability to provide torque at low speeds and easily handle high rotation rates, which removes the need for complicated gearboxes and simplifies design. They have been proposed a number of times over the years, the historical problem has always been getting the electricity to drive things: batteries are heavy and diesel->electric converters (eg. hybrid trains) are too large to be practical.
It’s not unreasonable to heavily critique the fact that Tesla deadlines are blown repeatedly, and yet who among us has gone from 0 to 300k+ vehicles manufacturer and sold per year in 12 years?

The latter what? What does the militia clause have to do with it, outside of providing healthcare to the military? The necessary and proper execution of which federal power? The federal government no longer calls up a militia, so you can make no pretense of this being anything but an unconstitutional reach. Also, militiae are not composed of all the populace, therefore you could at most justify a certain subgroup. Arguably the most vulnerable groups are the least covered by this. Also, the necessary and proper clause is a bs justification in most senses of its use, possibly tied with the commerce clause for most-abused.
