You have your own head in the sand about something else : most Europeans you spoke to were probably all too familiar with the kind of North American identity politics you were pushing onto them (what you describe as a "progressive-minded conversation"). Most of us (including progressives) find it alien, over the top, polarizing if not sometimes downright harmful and counterproductive. Our choice not to partake is a conscious and informed one.

You mention fascism being on the rise throughout Europe because of our supposedly poor understanding of these issues, but the intersectional flavor of progressivism you're advocating hasn't exactly demonstrated it could make society less divided (quite the opposite). In other words, I guess we're not quite prepared to get lectured about fascism by the continent that brought us Trump recently.

In fact, this article is a powerful cautionary tale against the backlash that comes with ostracizing young white males. And yes, I'm pretty sure most Europeans shook their head reading the piece of insanity below, thinking "only in America"

One morning during first period, a male friend of Sam’s mentioned a meme whose suggestive name was an inside joke between the two of them. Sam laughed. A girl at the table overheard their private conversation, misconstrued it as a sexual reference, and reported it as sexual harassment. Sam’s guidance counselor pulled him out of his next class and accused him of “breaking the law.” Before long, he was in the office of a male administrator who informed him that the exchange was “illegal,” hinted that the police were coming, and delivered him into the custody of the school’s resource officer. At the administrator’s instruction, that man ushered Sam into an empty room, handed him a blank sheet of paper, and instructed him to write a “statement of guilt.”

Did you forget about abandoned houses in the worst areas in making your list? And it matters because what are you going do? Don't allow apartment owners to wait for new tenants? Don't allow people to have houses for sale? Don't allow foreclosures? Force people to live in unlivable conditions in areas with a huge crime rate? Etc. None of this is even remotely realistic.
> Surely the important skill is knowing when you don't know, recognising when you need to know

The astronomy students who get it wrong are generally initially quite confident. At least some of the med students both knew they didn't know, and rejected the correct size. So we're not doing great even on such recognition.

> how big cells are

Attempting to teach a sense of scale is part of most every undergraduate science and engineering program. So some first-tier medical school students lacking in such, at least raises the question of how well that teaching is working, even among more successful students.

> knowing where to look up the relevant facts

Beyond recall of individual facts, is integrating them into understanding. One challenge when teaching stoichiometry, is apparently students not thinking of atoms as real physical objects. It's not that they are missing a fact, that atoms don't locally pop in and out of existence in large numbers, but that they've failed to make a connection, that after some chemistry happens, those atoms must still be around.

Having a misconception about the color of the Sun might lose you a game of trivial pursuit. But it will also interfere with your understanding of say blackbodies and color. And by hindering integration, make it less likely that you'll catch your misconceptions with those too. Recurse.

Lacking a sense of scale, means missing a powerful framework for integrating physical phenomena, and not having a feel for reasonable numbers, and thus struggling with rough quantitative reasoning.

Ok... but awareness of the magnitude of current problems, and of available opportunities for improvement, is nice to have, no?
Where I live, in Europe, we have now Uber, Mytaxi, Bolt (prev Taxify) and Cabify. Not sure if there are even more. I regularly switch between them (to make sure their algoritmes think I am a critical user = lower pricing).

Then there are also electric bikes and electric scooters (4 or 5 platforms).

And there is DriveNow, a on demand rental offering of BMW.

Just saying: local competition seems 'too easy' (as platform one could even use libretaxi.org or tagmytaxi.com)

The question is not how much market share, but how much sustainable profit they can make. In the mobile phone market there are several bigger suppliers that are making no profit.

Another thing to keep in mind: VC's and other investors are in it for the money. If there was more money to be made by keeping the company private, they certainly would do that. They decided to do a IPO because it will make them more money then not doing an IPO.

I think it is - you're being rewarded with "progress", even as the game gives you the concept.
It's because the document/body itself isn't scrollable. Only the ".content_scroller" div within the body is scrollable, which causes all sorts of problems.

Rather than having two fixed height scrollable divs beside each other, you should remove the fixed height on .content_scroller and fix the sidebar to the side with `display: fix`.

About time this farce of a subpeona was ended. Chelsea already testified once on the matter the subpeona was about iirc.

The above article ignores the reason for her release: the expiration of the grand jury investigating Assange.

Washington Post article here: https://wapo.st/2E11CUW
It's not quashed.

> "Today marked the expiration of the term of the grand jury, and so, after 62 days of confinement, Chelsea was released from the Alexandria Detention Center earlier today," her lawyers said in a statement.

> "Unfortunately, even prior to her release, Chelsea was served with another subpoena," the statement adds. "It is therefore conceivable that she will once again be held in contempt of court, and be returned [to custody].
> Chelsea already testified once on the matter the subpeona was about iirc.

The article said that too. Is she saying she spent 62 days in jail because she'd rather not repeat herself? That seems extremely odd if true.
The curve isn't necessarily implicit or explicit; multiple forms exist. Think of the standard form of a line versus a parametric form.

For beziers you might explicitly evaluate them at time t if you're doing animation of implicitly evaluate them at position x,y if you're rendering them.

No, it doesn't.
Right click bundle icon, click `Open', follow instructions (such as they are). It's been like this for years.

You might have to tick the 'App Store and identified developers' option in the General section of the Security & Privacy preference pane? - but my recollection is that if you don't, you just need to right click a bit more often...

I'm genuinely confused as to why you're being downvoted. I live in Seattle, having bought a couple of houses in the last 10 years, watching the market pretty carefully and you aren't wrong. This is one of the most expensive markets in the country.... fourth or fifth. It's kind of ridiculous. The "drop" is in the last 3 years after a 12 year steep rise, and it's not even really a drop, more of a leveling off instead of a continued steep incline. A lot of that has to do with over investment in companies buying properties for apartment complexes, on speculation that population growth would continue at a steady rate instead of curve like real world models.
Broadcasts can be done efficiently on AMD systems. I dunno about NVidia, but I would assume NVidia PTX has some kind of low-level broadcast mechanism too.

A lot of optimization is just knowing all of the special ways you can move memory around. Broadcast was common enough that they've given AMD GPUs a special instruction just for it.

So in the case of neural networks all reading from the same input, you'd want to do it through the broadcast instructions, instead of through shared memory. Shared memory would create bank conflicts.

Signal has absolutely normalized encryption for anyone that buys illicit things or does protest/organizing work.

>”And the fact that some can’t imagine to build a full app in SQL is sad”

You are outlining some general purpose programming language that allows querying, information retrieval, maybe declaratively or functionally or using objects? I don’t know - you provide no other details.

How expressive would this language be? What abstractions would it provide out of the box? How expressive is it? Your examples allow some code reuse via naming/aliasing specific clauses... is that it?

Specifically what apps would it allow someone to build? And what trade offs result from those decisions? Is it better suited for mathematical operations or data science vs building general enterprise applications? There’s a difference. Is it interpreted like SQL? Would it need to be compiled?

You’re doing a lot of handwaving, and when pressed for details, you respond with a thinly veiled insult - the problem is with the reader or me specifically for not being able to read you mind. We should take you at face value without question.

Good luck with that attitude in your career.
I've long held that if you want to get healthcare costs under control, if you end up impacting provider salaries, you have to tackle the education side of the equation as well.
"her lawyers reportedly asked that she be confined at home due to medical issues, but the judge said US Marshals would address her care needs."

That is a terrifying sentence to read after having learned about the medical care provided (or not provided...) in US prisons. It almost reads to me as if they planned on killing her.
The most important thing the US needs to do to its healthcare system, is cut costs by 1/3 to match the top end of what the other wealthiest developed nations are spending.

That will require hammering downward what doctors (for one example) are earning. No more radiologists making $650k per year.

The side conflict to that, is you have to simultaneously make it a lot cheaper to become a doctor, otherwise you generate a shortgage of doctors that gets worse by the year.

As the Federal and State governments take on ever larger responsibility in the US healthcare system, I'll be curious to see how this problem is dealt with. I suspect at first they'll simply avoid the conflict entirely, and try to keep paying healthcare workers what they're presently earning. However, you can't have universal healthcare in the US in any manner at the current expense levels, it's financially impossible. Something will have to give, and it ultimately will have to be the costs in the system.

I didn't realize this about US law but if you've already been convicted of a crime OR they give you immunity you can be forced to testify.

They did this in Aaron Swartz's case and gave people immunity to force them to testify.

I was friends with Aaron and felt that he was mostly a hero in this situation though he was probably guilty of misdemeanor trespass.

It was troubling to see how upset it made my friends that they were going to be forced to testify against someone they loved or were friends with.
The Supreme Court's ruling on same sex marriage didn't have that effect, as least so far. "If given the chance, they would roll back what we just achieved, which makes them immoral monsters" seems to be working perfectly well as a replacement argument.
It's not up to grand jury witnesses to decide that.

The art of noticing: ways to experience a city differently
Of course you can be forced to testify. That goes all the way back to English common law. The public has a claim to every man's evidence.

A strict privilege against self-testimony is somewhat distinctive to our US system. Even countries that share it with us, like the UK, limit it; for instance, in the UK, your refusal to testify against yourself can be held against you.
There is currently no legal precedent for joke theft. Many people create the same current event jokes.

So, this comes down to Intellectual property theft.

That's right. The 5th amendment only protects you from self-incrimination. If theres no risk of you being charged with a crime you can't refuse to testify.

You could perhaps come up with a 1st amendment case but I think that wouldn't have much of a chance of going anywhere.
That must be why it’s a problem in other cities... Dog owners know to use a bag and pick up. People can also use a bag and dispose sanitarily, but no. Why, I can just do it on the sidewalk. But, oh no, what’s that, a plastic straw?

If the city can afford injection sites and needles I’m sure they can afford to have bag dispensers or ports johns, if it’s an unmet scute need.

My partner recently had her Amazon account comprised. The scammers ordered a “random” pair of white socks for $20 that showed up at our door.

Since the fraudsters never received the package I don’t think they gained anything directly by stealing from my partner’s debit card. So that made me think, how could they be gaining from this? I’m assuming some unscrupulous merchants or “marketing consultants” are using this kind of fraud to boost sales for themselves or their clients.

The current setup seems to favor the card network providers / banks. There's not really an incentive to change. Why it's like that in the first place? IDK.
Mass transit is only a feasible option when the city has been designed around it or has evolved around it for a long time. Specifically, you need both high density commercial and residential spaces where you can place transit hubs, and those spaces need to be laid out so that routes between them are fairly direct. You also need transit vehicles to come at very regular intervals (no more than ~5 minutes, and preferably ~2 minutes). Ideally, you would also have a lot of low cost rental vehicles such as bikeshares or micro-cabs that could be used for the last mile to a destination commercial space.

If you have to drive a car to a transit hub, wait 10-15 minutes for a vehicle, transfer multiple times (with wait times for each), then walk more than ~5 blocks to your final destination it becomes a shitshow. Los Angeles is a perfect example of this.

I investigated into developing in Half Moon Bay, which is zoned by San Mateo County. There's wide swathes of land up for grabs, but the county or the council forbids development unless you buy enough land and come up with a proposal. This ends up costing in $5-$10 million of undeveloped land alone (no sewage line connection and no electricity). And these lands are planned unit developments, which in practicality means homes only for the wealthy.
