That's also consumers accepting the risk and agreeing to pay for a flight. Here's a quick thought experiment in capitalism:

Two relatively new Boeing 737-MAX airplanes crash in relatively quick succession. A critical flaw in the aircraft is exposed to the public. Significant numbers of people refuse to fly in a 737-MAX.

Southwest made a substantial investment in 737-MAX airplanes, and cannot make their money back. They approach Boeing and Boeing gives them a 75% discount on a 737-MAX replacement. Or, Boeing shrugs their shoulders and says, "huh". Southwest cancels all future orders with Boeing and buys Airbus.

Or, Boeing waves their hands and says, "We fixed everything. The 737-MAX is perfectly safe now." The next week, Southwest relaunches their fleet and books 100% occupancy. They negotiate with Boeing about the $millions lost while the fleet was grounded and get back to business as usual. For the next 5 years, a 737-MAX crashes every year killing everyone aboard, but bookings stay high. All ticket prices go up $25 to fund the payouts to crash victims. Bookings stay high. Business continues as usual.

See all the very different directions capitalism can take you? I continually struggle to understand the mindset where all blame goes to the government and there is no individual responsibility for consumer choices. We've seen it over and over with Wells Fargo, GM, Facebook, and the list goes on.

Government can serve a meaningful purpose in the regulation of capitalism. But also, capitalism can and must serve a critical role in the regulation of capitalism.
I think the claim of people who talk about privilege is that there is a society-wide context where being white or whatever gives you privilege.

It's not like America has a white police force that discriminates against black people and a black police force that discriminates against white people. We have one police force and it's a white one (in the sense that it tends to be run for the sake of white people and embodies white values).

It's not like we have a white tech sector that discriminates against black people and a black tech sector that discriminates against white people. We have one tech sector that is run (disproportionately) for the sake of white people and embodies white values.

Does that mean that every white person has it good? No. But being white does have privilege associated with it. You're part of the dominant group and have an easier time navigating the social world because of that.

That being said, it's possible to be white and also mentally ill (for example). That doesn't mean you don't have white privilege, it just means you lack the privilege of people without mental illness. Saying someone is privileged doesn't mean that their life is good, it just means it's better than it would otherwise be.
The issue I have is the goal posts are constantly moving in an ever frustrating way.

In one setting being mindful of one aspect that may affect the group will be acceptable but may be perceived as a slight with another group of listeners.

It truly feels like a no-win situation.

Yes, I do think micro-aggression is real, but when disparate groups, even if they are morally or politically aligned, have vastly different definitions it becomes a tool to oust instead of include.

The five minutes seem to have been inadequate because a bunch of these explicitly say they were not conclusively attributed to that specific problem.

Copa Airlines Flight 201

"but after an exhaustive and extensive inquiry, they concluded that the crash was caused by faulty attitude indicator instrument readings."

China Southern Airlines Flight 3943

"CAAC blame the pilots for improper response to an autothrottle malfunction. "

Silkair Flight 185

"The NTSB's report found that there was sufficient evidence to rule out mechanical failure (based on examinations of the suspected PCU/dual-servo unit recovered from the SilkAir crash), and that the probable cause of the accident was "intentional pilot action" by a pilot"

And so on.

The default should be to show the password input for normal users. Chances are, most corporate users are 1) using a fast connection paid for by their employer and/or 2) used to shitty stuttering UI, so it will be less of a problem if it takes a couple of seconds to load their 3rd party auth provider.

If the number of auth providers are small and tied to specific domains in the email address, perhaps you could speed up the process by pre-loading a hash table of domains => auth providers.
Life hack: don't store anything you don't want to explain in front of a judge.

For practical purposes, "store" includes "put in a computer".

Consider that:

--Saying you committed a crime is definitely incriminating, so storing that is probably not in your best interest.

--You are not qualified to know that you are _not_ breaking the law.

--In fact, the only way to determine this affirmatively is by trial.

--If you think no one important cares, you might still piss off someone important later (Corollary: pissing off someone important is a good way to find out whether you have broken the law).
This American Life had an interesting episode.

A car plant in Fremont California that might have saved the U.S. car industry. In 1984, General Motors and Toyota opened NUMMI as a joint venture. Toyota showed GM the secrets of its production system: How it made cars of much higher quality and much lower cost than GM achieved. Frank Langfitt explains why GM didn't learn the lessons—until it was too late.

Don't think bot; think botnet. Ratelimits do not work against botnets since they appear to be independent actors. e.g. if you think it's fine for everyone to do something 1-3 times, then you are letting a botnet of 10k hosts do something 10k-30k times.

[edit]

Also, NAT means that there could be hundreds or thousands of individual users on the same IP address (many dorms at smaller colleges are setup this way), so you don't want to rate limit by IP address either.

There is very little that doctors and physical therapists can do to treat certain types of chronic pain. Sometimes root causes are impossible to determine, or we just aren't capable of fixing the damage. Powerful analgesics come with serious risks and side effects.

Part of the problem is that we don't even fully understand how pain works.
Because a voter's preference cannot be expressed solely through their affiliation with a political party.

We look at gerrymandering through the lens of "fairness", and we find it unfair when one group cannot get reasonably proportional representation in the legislature. But we are all members of many groups. We belong to political parties, racial groups, regional groups, economic groups, social classes and personality groups -- how can all of them get a voice which is proportional to their numbers? There's no clear-cut solution.

This is the core problem with most gerrymandering jurisprudence -- it looks at at the problem mostly through a racial lens, and more recently, a partisan one. But the world is more complex than that. Voter's interests are not solely determined by the color of their skin or their political party.

The court is not saying that gerrymandering is okay. The court is saying that they don't have a solution, or at least not one that can be imposed by courts. The court is more constrained than a legislature in finding a solution, because the court must override state laws based on a reasonable reading of federal law, in this case the Voting Rights Act, or the Constitution. And unfortunately, both of those sources are nearly silent on the matter. It is not within the courts power to create law from nothing, notwithstanding Kagan's dissent.

In the past, we decided that the appropriate grouping for the election of representatives was geographic. It's not ideal, but it's the best of bad options. Our current gerrymanders are a perversion of that principle, and we are right to look for a solution that leads to cleaner, more compact districts.

The court has said that it's not theirs to decide the issue. I'm not sure I agree, because current gerrymanders are an incumbent protection racket, and that looks to me like a civil rights violation. But in any case, it is well within the power of Congress to fix the problem through an amendment to the Voting Rights Act, and they certainly should.

It does matter for RF, as TFA says. So the tools do it for you. Since it's automatic and easily done with the tools, everyone just does it.

Sure, you don't have to shy away from 90° but you also don't have to avoid it. I strongly disagree with "looks wrong". It's simply an aesthetic choice, there is no right or wrong about it.

I wonder if they did this kind of optimization back in the day when traces were hand-taped. The sensitivity is to rise time, not actually frequency, so even for the slower designs of the day, maybe 45° or arced corners were still useful?
Exactly. Social skills can be learned, but often that requires a lot more effort and pain than learning a new programming language or framework. Listening with full attention is the most underrated "best practice" in tech.

Honestly... if it's the same team that did ReCaptcha 2.0, this is a team that pulls out all the stops. Per https://github.com/neuroradiology/InsideReCaptcha ... they implemented a freaking VM in Javascript to obfuscate the code that combines various signals. There's a lot going on here that's likely highly obfuscated and quantized before it's displayed to us.

Isn't that simply because they can hear very low sound frequencies which often come shortly before an earthquake? The technology we have now is far superior at predicting such events using geological vibrations and weather data etc (which still gives quite short warning times, but still).
To be fair, I use my phone significantly more than the laptop I have at home. $1500 is a bit insane, pretty sure $500 dollar phone and $1000 for other stuff is better value for me personally.
But that doesn't make sense. If the gerrymander is strong enough, running as a centrist in a heavily partisan district means you lose to the partisan (most of the time).

For that singular district the answer might mean color yourself purple, but if done correctly this allows for a party that represents a minority of voters to control things on a state or national level. It's the same problem people have with the electoral collage. You can win a majority of the votes (either by being a partisan or by being a centrist) and lose because maps.

Vote either way.

Yes, the rules of the game suck and should be changed. As a citizen, there are many ways you can work towards that end. Regardless, the game is still being played and not voting is a move in the game that almost never benefits your own interests.

Do you know who got the most votes in the 2016 presidential election? It wasn't Trump. It wasn't Hillary, either. It was no one. The number of people who could have voted outnumbers the votes either candidate got.

People who stayed home chose to affect that election more than any other group of people.

No, most countries will not allow their courts to assert original jurisdiction for torts or crimes committed in other countries by foreign actors. The US has more exceptions to this then most other countries, for instance the controversial https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Tort_Statute

But even the Alien Tort Claims Act only applies to torts, and only to those which are "...committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States."

Actually, it's been proved for ... longer than PERL exists ?

The various features in PERL allow you to emulate context-free languages. There is a proof somewhere, but it's trivial to see you can use backreferences to parse languages with well-nested parens.

Languages of well-nested parens are known to be non-regular, and thus impossible to write with regular expressions.

Also note that knowing if an arbitrary context-free language is regular is undecidable. That doesn't mean you can't try to optimize down some PERL grammar to a regex, but your optimization will never be complete.
In Tier 1 markets (big metro areas, in the US), aggregate platforms are the way to go. The main driver of this is liability insurance and worker's comps.

There is also pressure from municipality laws on how delivery staff are titled: if they're delivery then you can subsidize their hourly rate w/ tips but they cannot perform more than 20% of their work as a regular employee (stocking, packing food, etc.)

2nd Tier markets (suburbia) have their own issues and intricacies since delivery is driven and liability insurance become a bigger issue + range. However, they haven't been as aggressive to move over to 3rd party delivery (unless we're talking large corp.)

Credential-collecting workflows have myriad ways to break the "standard" of USERNAME<tab>PASSWORD<return> that are present regardless of how many pages the workflow spans.

Maybe I'm using terms interchangeably when I shouldn't be (I haven't jumped on the containerization bandwagon), but a Docker container is still just a "VM light", right?

The single metric of "cost of living by country" is misrepresenting reality in certain areas, let me tell you why.

USA on average is cheaper than Switzerland, sure. You are correct on that front. But you never live "in a country", you live in a specific city!

Try comparing Bay Area with Switzerland, or even better, San Francisco with Zurich, and you'll get a very different picture. Let's look at it quickly.

One of the most important metrics to determine real cost of living is "Cost per square foot" (or square meter) to buy a house/apartment in the city center.

San Francisco and Zurich are both at ~$1,200 per square foot [0], but San Francisco is more expensive on pretty much any other metric, and remember that home prices are affected (reduced) by a much higher property tax in San Francisco compared to Zurich.

Renting a 1-bedroom in downtown SF is at ~$3,410, compared to a bit more than half (!) in Zurich at ~$1,790. [0].

In 2019, San Francisco displaced Zurich as the city with the highest salaries [1, page 8].

So, to summarize: San Francisco is actually more expensive than Zurich.

> Except it IS clear what unfairness looks like, and it's this.

That’s not sufficient. You need to be able to also identify what districting maps are fair enough. As soon as you open the door to these kinds of lawsuits, every districting map will get challenged in court by the minority party. If you don’t have a standard for being able to throw out most of those cases, you’ll have the federal judiciary deeply enmeshed in redistricting disputes.

“We’ll only have the judiciary step in for the the most egregious cases” never works. You see that in contexts like Establishment Clause litigation, where people are suing over whether letting religious student organizations use school facilities is an establishment clause violation. In that area, legitimately egregious conduct is long in the past (if it ever existed at scale) and courts have become just another political tool in the culture war. There is a reason the Supreme Court has resisted the urge to take a “we’ll step in only for the most egregious cases” approach with the First Amendment. Video games marketed to kids where you blow away prostitutes? Go for it. We’re not going to police that.

You can’t get judges to police everything. If duly elected Democrats in maryland want to screw over republicans and strip them of voting rights, then there are problems with our society judges can’t fix.

I'm reading this as both sides agreeing that it's unfair, but the majority doesn't see a way for the Supreme Court to devise a fair test to apply as they can with race, or a way to do so under the Constitution.

I'm inclined to agree with the majority. I don't see a solution for this problem that isn't a messy and partially flawed political compromise, and those need to come from the States or Congress.
They can be learned to some me extent, but they are harder for some people to learn than others, especially those far off to one side of the spectrum. Actually, it is really easy to tell naturals apart from those who have to consciously study social skills, the latter being much more stilted and systematic than the former. I admit I find it really off putting when interacting with someone with heavily trained social skills (and I’m definitely not a natural). I prefer people to be themselves rather than pretending to be something else.

So what is the recourse to this decision to prevent partisan gerrymandering?

Basically what I am seeing is a class of laws that can be appealed at a state level, but not at a federal level. Not an expert on the legal system, but is there precedent for this on a constitutional topic (like voting)?
Presumably the less purple a state is (i.e. the more pure red or pure blue) the less it matters, no?
