What the heck is wrong with them? They're awesome for many miscellaneous items. If there aren't grocery stores, that's on the local municipality to attract/incentivize the type of businesses they want in their area. Most dollar stores aren't grocery stores anyhow, nor should they be forced to be anything, they're more like bric-a-brac American drug/discount stores mixed with convenience stores. It's a strawman/red herring to blame dollar stores for people's health... that's their municipality's and personal responsibility to have farmer's markets, grocery stores, health food stores, fresh food stands. They are what they are.. vote with your feet, or tell the muncipalities to also bring other type of stores. And if they don't like Walmartification, keep them zoned out.

>Yes, but the bible is a work of fiction.
First off, you should capitalize the name of the Bible. Secondly, fiction books are based off the animation where the Bible is a compilation of scriptures that include events that actually took place.

>magical fairie text

The Bible was not written by magical fairies, but by regular people.

>it's not a single homogenous group

True, but most of the teachings remain the same throughout the different denominations. Sexual immorality is condemned constantly throughout the Bible, both in old and new testaments.

>are they not allowed to evolve and improve over time

Yes, Christianity has evolved over time. If by improve, you mean turning things that are sins into things that are not, then I will disagree and say that you can not do that. You can not simply go against God's word. If God said that something is a sin, you can't just reply back that it's 2019 and He should get with the times.

The East and Midwest is a lot more humid than the West (especially the Southeast), and humid air transfers more heat. Thus, 100 degrees in Alabama's 90% humidity is a lot worse than 100 degrees in Arizona's 10% humidity.
A single host stuck at 100% CPU also has a nasty effect on your tail latency, in a system with wide fanout. If a request hits 100 backend systems, and 1 of them is slow, your 99th percentile latency is going to go in the toilet.

It's well known in SF that public transit is worse now than it ever has been. In particular, the trains and buses are slower than ever. It's been a long-term, multi-decade trend, but more recently ride sharing significantly increased the amount of traffic, disrupting SF's mostly surface public transit.

Those are a lot of big conceptual ideas, I think at the end of the day people just want to know what will make their lives better. And if the big conceptual idea of democracy starts to lose its shiny appeal then fewer people will jump in to defend it as an inherent good.

Or to put it another way, what would be good justification to reconsider our political system? If the answer is nothing then we're just following our system like a religion. We ought to be able to discuss the upsides (there are some pretty great ones) and downsides (everything has tradeoffs).

Why not simply offset property taxes by social good?

In the US we have tax-exempt businesses, but I don't think we have partial tax?

Yet it seems like a host of businesses provide value to the community that would make up for their property tax income. Full service grocery stores, child care, etc.

Of course, in reality businesses would expand their margins as much as possible. But at least they'd be there.
Why do thy use it if they can't afford it?

Besides, "lower income customers" pay little to no tax.

The thing is that all of the passwords in his database, are ones that the blackhats already know. As in, they not only have the hashes, but the full in-the-clear passwords. His sources for these lists are blackhats themselves, who happen to leak their copies of their password lists, one way or the other.

And all the major password cracking tools will typically try all the known bad passwords, before they try anything else. And they'll try all known likely variants, before making any potential brute-force attempts.

So, it doesn't matter if the password you want to use is on this list and you want to use it anyway, just because it has never been associated with your userid.

The simple fact that you're trying to use a known bad password that has ever been used before by anyone else, is enough to increase by many, many orders of magnitude the likelihood that someone will be able to crack your new favourite password.

Bad passwords are simply bad, regardless of who tries to use them. Some are worse than others, but they're all bad.

This aspect of HIBP helps you discover if any of your passwords have ever been cracked by anyone, and therefore now on the list of known bad passwords.
How much would something like Wireguard mitigate this?
City near us had Target, various drug stores, and some new grocery stores.

Then, they had riots where the police were told to do nothing. The black panthers and the organized crime gangs coordinated to knock over all of the drug stores, shoe stores, and liquor stores. However, many other stores were also hit.

Now, they have no Target, no drug stores, no grocery stores. It's highly unlikely without adequate security that they will ever come back.

The next city over, they had smaller riots, but several grocery and walmart/target projects were cancelled.

It seems to me that poorly run cities and politicians following misguided policies are far more hazardous to health.
> Booth babes are not sex workers.

They usually are (which is fairly specifically indicated by the label “babe” for the job) by common definitions of sex work (which include labor whose role is indirect, including visual, sexual stimulation as well as that involving direct sexual contact.)

> They are generally actresses or models.

Both acting and modeling overlap with sex work rather than excluding it.
That is turning out to be one of the most misguided xkcd comics ever.

The problem is that bot traffic is virtually definitionally not neutral; it is trying to attempt some goal, overt or covert. That might be advertising, link farming, submarine placement, karma whoring (to some later use), vulnerability probing (if only for anti-bot defences), information gathering, or various forms of propaganda: disinfo/misinfo, instigation, or just overwhelming channels with noise (the Chinese model). Even putatively benign and declared bot rapidly become at best annoyances as experiences on Reddit and Mastodon are showing. Good bot practices require very judicious and closely administered use. Wikipedia and IRC service and janitorial bots are examples of positive use. Each is controlled and deployed by specific administrators.

I've seen and reported appearance of covert bot accounts across multiple networks. They never prove benign.

All of these reduce the human-to-human trust of a network -- the presumption that a given interaction is with an actual human, absent grossly obvious ulterior motives.

As a few others have noted, excessively mediated experiences seem to become lower rather than higher trust, a characteristic I've suspected for some time is a generalised case, with some possibly exceedingly deep cultural and sociological implications.

This rapidly veers off into my own hypothesis and theories, but; looking back at histories of communications technology and practice, particularly over the past 200 years or so, the practice of imprved coms is parallelled by routinised and standardised formats, and far less obsequious and religious language. (See especially research by James Beniger and JoAnne Yates on commercial and business communication). As comms latencies fell (from weeks or months to days or minutes, or less), the need to specifically prove and swear allegiance, loyalty, thankfulness, and debt in every exchange falls.

I also suspect (though I've found no discussion) that a major role of empirical religious traditions, which every major preindustrial empre seems to have had, is building a shared social trust basis. This would be a social mechanism of religion.

Other interesting observations are that it was the greek god Hermes represented trade, merchants, commerce, roads ... and thieves and trickery. It was as the first high-spped comms networks (telegraph) and motorised highway system emerged (Mississippi steam-powered river boats) that the idea of the confidence man emerged in Herman Melville's novel of the same name. The elements of distant communications, and speedy entry and exit, create the space required for fraud.

A different tack is taken by Kyle Harper's The Fate of Rome, looking at the co-emergence of disease, epidemics, and plague with both urban density and high-volume (for the time) trade, commerce, and travel. Though he doesn't touch on fraud.

The whole question of how and why high- and low-trust cultures develop is an interesting one.
> What a joke, where are the visual designers for HTML/CSS, with automatic binding generation for database backends?

Did you ever actually use a PowerBuilder (or similar RAD tool) application? The experience was horrible, slow, and basically a waste of titanic amounts of money.

I once saw half an accounting department quit after a switch to a RAD financials package.

There’s a reason all those 1990-2005 era vertical-market app companies got bought by PE firms and are just basically dead except for milking maintenance revenue. Building “data-model centric” apps with RAD tools optimizes for ease of the developer instead of the end user. Which is exactly backwards.

Their goal is to bring attention to their employer’s product by titillating passers-by.

That's the whole reason they are called “booth babes” and they are selected for their ability to succeed in that modality of attention-getting.

They don't generally wear revealing clothing and act provocatively just out of personal preference unconnected to their specific job duties.
I wonder if my reaction to this is more based on how they implement auto-renew rather than the fact they do it at all, as I agree that companies need to have auto-renew for many reasons.

I just find something very unfair about a policy that doesn't warn you about a significant annual renewal coupled with the fact you aren't warned about it nor is it refundable (even if you immediately contact support). It feels like a very deliberate design. As I mentioned, other services have a much more honest and open approach to this, where they email a couple of days in advance warning you about the charge.

But maybe I'm just naive in this instance and should assume companies will do it (so plan around it)
Furthermore, I did my grad studies in compilers. I've thought about writing an optimizing JIT for Python. I really feel like CPython is needlessly slow, and it's kind of embarassing,

Asking what the heck is wrong with dollar stores is like asking what the heck is wrong with Amazon’s predatory business tactics. There’s nothing inherently “wrong” with either one, but both have extremely ill effects for the larger system they exist within.

Dollar Stores usurp business from grocery stores and turn neighborhoods into food deserts. What the heck is wrong with that? Dude, a lot.
Most Elixir projects have very few dependencies because the Elixir and Erlang stdlibs are very batteries included. You don't typically reach for a dependency unless you need most of its features. Often you will reimplement the parts you need in your own code, except where it's reasonably complicated (pooling, DB connections, ORMs, web frameworks) or tricky to get right (security, password hashing, paxos).
Dollar stores don't sell lettuce.
They're a 501(c)3 private foundation, similar to a 501(c)3 public charity like COTAP. This makes offsetting contributions tax-deductible. The point is by making it tax-deductible, along with other things like helping folks offset monthly, they've already tried to make it as compelling and easy as possible to offset, but no dice relative to time/effort/$ put in. Similar to StandforTrees.org. I'm basically saying I don't think Wren is different enough, other than charging higher margins, something not in their favor. It is good they're transparent about margins, but that's not unique either.

Mine are flush with the ceiling, there's nothing to hook onto. Just regular plumbing pipes can freeze, too. But the sprinkler pipes all run in interior walls - it's the ones in exterior walls that are likely to freeze. (I've had floods from frozen pipes in a non-sprinkled house - the pipes were in an exterior wall.)

Anyhow, at the time I did some research and found that nobody had died in a fire in the US in a room that had working sprinklers. It's pretty darn compelling.

I never felt like there was only one way to do something in Python. Every Stack Overflow question has a multitude of answers ranging from imperative to functional style and with various benefits and drawbacks.

Python is one of the least "only one way to do things" languages I've used. This even extends to its packaging system, where you can choose between virtualenv, pipenv, pyenv, etc. Same goes for the installation method too, do you want to install Python with Anaconda or use the default method?

As for my personal take on this feature: I think it's really useful. When web-scraping in Python, I oftentimes had to do this:

while True:
html_element = scrape_element()
if html_element:

Now I can do this:

while not html_element := scrape_element():
sleep(10)
And why does Android have that enabled by default when in 90% cases it's better for the user to have it disabled?
Were they Dollar Generals or Family Dollars? These are the stores mentioned in the article and in my experience aside from a few loss leaders like cold drinks everything is more expensive.

I don’t think the UK vs US situation is comparable.
No I haven’t seen that correlation. It is a question of culture and what is normal where.

If you had a typical danish city in the US the dynamic would be totally different than in Denmark, where nearly every city has a decent standard when it comes to public transport.

I can’t judge whether your corellation holds true for the US, but certainly not for the parts of Europe I lived in.

We see a lot more weather hype in the news than we used to. Winter storms have names. We get "arctic vortexes". And normal summer temps are flogged as a massive heat wave.

Someone in the biz was telling me that the reason is that many 'news' orgs would rather have an article about the weather than about a lot of other subjects, so they've steadily increased the number of weather related coverage.

It is not exactly SDR's but getting further into the weeds here, the radio is split into two parts, this actually started with the introduction of LTE. The BBU (Baseband Unit) is centrally located or can be collocated and the RRU (Remote Radio Head) is essentially the PA/LNA radio chain (Power Amp, i.e. transmitter and the Low Noise Amp, receiver) and some other things. The connection between the two is CPRI which carries the I&Q (Phase and Amplitude) information, basically the modulation scheme is QAM. So the BBU's are generally somewhat programable but it depends on the exact type manufacturer. For 5G the BBU function will actually run in a VM instance on a server stack. The RRU is sort of "dumb". So for 5G I would say it is pretty much an SDR but depending on the vintage of 4GLTE it may or may not be. Older BBU's are not re-programmable but many of the newer ones were designed to allow an upgrade to 5G, when they were made it was anticipated that the standards would firm up and then new firmware could be uploaded into them.
Subways are expensive and displacing buildings to build grade level rail is a problem for many people. Sharing right of way with freeways makes some sense.
