I am sure that they concluded that because I read that part of their conclusion at one point.

I don't know what else they may have concluded. But standard legal practice is to come to a conclusion about each charge regardless of what others you decided in case some of your conclusions are overruled on appeal.

For example if you conclude that either the condom or the sleep charge is sufficient, then the extradition can go forward even if the sleep charge got dropped.

I was sure of my childhood vaccination history and not sure whether I had received an adult booster shot or not. The pharmacist was happy to give me the shot. My doctor subsequently said that medical advice about this might depend on one's particular situation (e.g. travel plans), since different people's risk of either acquiring or spreading measles could vary.

Subsequent shots don't decrease one's immunity, but they can still produce the same side effects as the initial vaccination, which are usually mild. For example, I experienced mild arm soreness for four to five days, which is the most common MMR side effect.

Feel free to ask your own doctor or pharmacist! :-)

Thanks for writing me back!

I’m glad that you’re seeing a therapist and since you’re seeing someone, I’m quite concerned about contradicting you. However, I don’t agree that your post was self pitying. It was well written, balanced and showed a heck of a lot of insight into yourself. If that’s self pitying, I know a lot of people (myself included) who could use a good dose of self pity.

As far as confidence, it sounds like you’ve been through a heck of a lot. Thanks to my own meandering experience, I understand how job stress can sap away at your confidence.

Again, I don’t know you from Adam, so take this as you will, but I’m an outsider and can see a whole lot of strengths. As I mentioned, you’re an excellent writer. In a few hundred words, you have managed to convey some interesting parts of your personality. For one, you strike me as a heck of a nice person. Second, you have one heck of a lot of insight into yourself. Third, I have an immense amount of respect for how you don’t blame anyone or make excuses. That shows a tremendous strength of character.

Finally, you’re fucking brave. Seeing a therapist is damned hard. Coming on here and being as open as you have been is damned hard as well. At this point, courage will only serve you well.

Between those things, I honestly wonder if you’re perhaps better than you think. You strike me as one of those glue developers who may not be the strongest IC, but who multiplies your team’s performance.

But, assuming that you’re correct and you’re not as good as you would like, if I were in your shoes, I would focus on positive things and start writing some cover letters. If your personality shines on a cover letter as it does on this thread, I might be asking you for a job in a couple of years. :)
I think we mean the same thing but we're expressing it differently!

What I meant was - the motivation isn't there because you can just get people to do your bitchwork for way less than it would cost to invest in a robot.

You asked so many great questions that could be part of a LongNow debate / discussion. I think this is a very relevant question / exercise:

"I wonder, is there some sort of an alternate future where this could be avoided?"

There's a dystopian set of novels called "The Domination" where the author explores this. Instead of the Internet, because of a protracted Cold War between two superpowers (not the ones you're thinking), this alternate world has iron fused memory cores immune to any hacking that we can conceive of in our timeline.
I mostly just phrased it that way because if you're going to argue that vaccines are responsible for an autism epidemic than that pre-supposes that there is an epidemic. I've read the same things, but I don't really follow the issue especially closely enough to have any strong opinions on the issue.
I agree with this, but getting colleges to get rid of their athletic programs is unlikely to happen.

I saw something at one point that said that colleges now are luxurious compared to the colleges of 30/40/50 years ago. The implication there was that once students had easy access to student loans, state schools in particular no longer focused on being cost effective. Anecdotally, I live in a town with a state school (Illinois State), and the apartments that have sprung up on campus over the past 10-15 years are insane compared to what I saw in college. Flat screen TVs in every unit, pools, etc. This is probably the most extreme example, but there are many similar: https://thelodgeonwillow.com

There was, and is, always the chance of encountering someone unvaccinated, or who can't be for some reason. Particularly those travelling - for whatever reason. Transplants and chemo can rob your immune system of protection.

That's why you need enough vaccinations in the general population to achieve herd immunity that gives indirect protection to those exceptions too. A case cannot spread reliably or rapidly enough to become a significant outbreak. The amount you need to vaccinate to achieve it varies depending on disease - measles needs quite a high percentage vaccinated, others less.
> I go to Whole Foods here in Maryland and everything is grown in f—king California.

Well yeah. That's true for a lot of the world; California is the leading exporter - and sometimes the only significant exporter - of a rather absurd number of varieties of fruits and vegetables. California's Central Valley has the right intersection of climate (plenty of sunshine, and snow is rare to the point of statistical irrelevance), good soil, adequate water (occasional droughts notwithstanding), and size (enough room for a lot of farmland) to be an agricultural powerhouse.

Not really. People do this when they move between public companies. It's just part of the negotiation over compensation. You ask for enough to make up for what you are leaving behind.
> I don't see how man-made climate change is even controversial

What's controversial (at least, if we're talking reasonable discussion) is not that climate change is happening, nor that human activities cause at least a good portion of it, but whether we understand all the factors involved well enough to predict with high confidence that spending trillions of dollars on drastic measures to reduce or eliminate CO2 emissions will stop it from happening. If we don't have high confidence that spending the trillions of dollars will do that (and I don't, nor do I see how anyone could given that climate models are overpredicting warming and our ability to predict economic consequences is even worse than our ability to predict future climate), then we shouldn't be spending the trillions of dollars--or at least, not on measures aimed directly at drastically reducing or eliminating CO2 emissions.

That's not to say, however, that there aren't other things we could be doing, that might help with climate change as a side effect. One is switching to non-fossil-fuel energy sources (see below). Another is making our infrastructure more robust, which helps civilization to withstand change in general. Still another is bringing more people out of poverty, since the richer people are, the more easily they can adapt to change.

> I don't see why we shouldn't transition to renewable energy asap anyway

A better term than "renewable" would be "non-fossil-fuel", since that would include nuclear (which is not considered "renewable" by most definitions). I agree that switching to non-fossil-fuel energy is something we should be doing anyway, both for scarcity reasons and for national security reasons: much of the money we spend on foreign oil ends up funding terrorism. I wish more people would realize that we don't need to agree on climate change alarmism in order to work on switching energy sources.
>The number of people who die due to lack of healthcare is ZERO for countries that have universal healthcare.

The design of any health care system needs to acknowledge the fact that people are going to get sick and die even with an unlimited budget, and there is not an unlimited budget.

We can't all get billionaire treatment for our ailments, no matter what system we have in place. We should be adults and accept that
In reality, Some Apple's implementations tend to be just as half-assed as everyone else's.
> I doubt Amazon would want to deal with all of those employees.

Amazon is the second largest private employer in the US, they seem to be fine with paychecks. I was just pointing out that buying Uber so you can deliver stuff is a phenomenally dumb idea, it would be cheaper to buy a company like FedEx that is valued by real assets and has proven capable at delivering stuff.

> With Uber they have a 24/7 flexible contractor workforce and physical interaction with millions of potential customers.

Amazon already does this and since Uber relies on contractors, they could sign up every driver in the country without paying a penny for Uber.

> Amazon could help them save a ton of money by moving their infrastructure onto AWS and reduce their marketing spend by promoting it on their properties.

Uber also already uses AWS. Getting paid for it seems better than spending billions to not get paid?

tl;dr I don't think Amazon buys either company, but there is no way in hell they buy Uber.
But we have that now. The idea of setting a term limit for Supreme Court justices is that it would minimize the effect of politicized appointments. Assuming the party that gets to make the appointments shifts over time, the makeup of the court is likely to be more balanced overall.

I don't know a lot about supermarket economics but I recall seeing articles about how supermarkets put impulse food right by the checkout. I just succumbed to that, and when I'm with my kids, I get chills when I see Paw Patrol or Frozen branded crap. That is intentional by the store and gives me zero value.

Also recently heard a story on NPR about the dynamics of shelf space. No one who needs to get that space other than a Canadian company would talk on record. And, if I heard correctly, not only do you pay for placement, but you can pay to position your competitors.

https://www.npr.org/2019/04/30/718711109/how-grocery-shelves...

For these reasons, I really like that online shopping is becoming an option. But, I'm not sure Amazon will use any fewer dark patterns to fill their virtual shelf space.

Well yeah, it's like three years of full-time study to get to an undergraduate level. Doing that part time is going to take you a decade or so. You need to put the time in. I'm not sure there's a shortcut.

There's no 'Royal road', as they say.

Plants and fungi are living beings. We eat them for complementary reasons - what nutrition we don't get from one, we get from the others. I suspect you wish to engage in a veganist conversation, but until the "rules" are considered and applied with equal determination for fungi life forms, I have no interest in the debate that is most likely to emerge from this composed type of questioning.

Verbal cherry picking is annoying to all except those in the echo chamber. Nobody has ever said they eat hamburgers only because carrots are so hard to come by. Scarcity is a clever ruse, but doesn't work here.
The "MQ" part of the name is unfortunate, but apparently came about because of the original idea to come up with a "better" implementation of AMQP (http://zeromq.org/docs:welcome-from-amqp).

But you're right -- ZeroMQ doesn't do queueing (except in some very limited circumstances), and if you need reliable delivery you must implement that yourself "on top of" ZeroMQ. I've done that, and while it's not a simple task, it is certainly possible.

You can get reliable delivery "out of the box" with other software, that in fact does do queueing. (kafka may be one, but I don't know enough to say).

But what you give up when you do that is performance -- ZeroMQ can easily be orders of magnitude faster than those other solutions, and for some applications (e.g., real-time market data) the work to provide a custom reliability solution on top of ZeroMQ is worthwhile.
I really like this idea, a small QR code would save a lot of paper, _and_ avoid the requirement that I give the store my email address for an electronic receipt.

>Since the sun doesn't shine all the time and you don't get peak output all the time 750 square meters per person doesn't seem terribly unrealistic.

At current prices, that much PV capacity would cost around 25 trillion dollars. That price doesn't include any storage capacity.

The climate is changing far too rapidly for us to hope for science fiction solutions. We need a major reduction in emissions now, which means both a vast increase in renewable production and a vast reduction in overall consumption.

These two statistics aren't directly comparable because the former is "against some [i.e., any] disease" and the latter is specifically the MMR vaccine. My guess is that in many developing countries the polio vaccine is the most administered because it's extremely cheap, extremely effective, addresses a very serious disease, and isn't at all painful for the child.

Another important childhood vaccine that would be covered in the 85% global statistic is the different variants of DTP.

The problem isn't really that the tractor breaks down and becomes scrap metal. The problem is that if the tractor breaks down during harvest, you will lose a lot of produce during the week or two it takes to repair the tractor. A better solution would probably be to force JD to provide farmers with a replacement tractor within 24 hours for free until the broken tractor has been fixed.
There’s also insurance, accounting, etc.. Even the little things like phone bills add up when your “business” has $50k in revenue like the Uber driver I saw on Reuters the other day.

Finder is awful IMO, this thread is probably fully of Apple-y types who will disagree, but if you're actually interested:

- Why does hitting the enter key not "go into directory" or "open file"?

- I can't even see a path tree to know where I am in the filesystem out of the box.

- Search, by default searches the entire system not the directory I'm in

- The default presentation is some weird list of random stuff from my system, recent files and temporary files and assorted irrelevant garbage. I had to fuss with options for quite some time just to get this to be intelligible.

- What the hell are all these colors? Why would any sane person want to group their files by color?

In the end I wiped OSX off the machine as I just couldn't put up with it's constant annoyances for no gain - more of window management than file management though. I shouldn't need 3rd party tools like Spectacle just to make things tolerable on a modern OS. Having used dozens of different desktops on Linux and Windows I didn't think a "user friendly" one would be such a pile of annoyances. Turns out that part was marketing wank too I guess.

Just in case anyone reading this has noticed the problem here but hasn't quite woken up to it: I really hate that people seem to accept their marketing at face value and not analyze any further, think they're doing something wrong if they run into problems with an Apple product. It's not just you. They make garbage and promote it like it's gold and people fall for it.
Perhaps we should come up with a system where people are free to use whatever search engine they like, and the government can't tell you what search engine to use, and the government can't tell the search engines what to publish. It would be so much better than the current system where we're legally required to use Google.
