That's very speculative and likely not true.

Not that I have either, but having seen it a few times I don't think I'd recover quickly even without the bereavement. The blood being mopped up - literally with a mop - after my wife's episiotomy was like something from a horror movie.

They vote as they always voted, to the extreme left, nothing changed. It's not like people in facebook or google supported republicans ever. They supported Sanders when he praised Hugo Chaves and they will support Warren when she praise breaking their own companies, exactly like they broke Venezuela. Let's face it, had Hillary won nobody would have heard anything about those "problems" with big tech companies, they would be praised for being on the right side of history all along.
The same that might prevent any team. If I knew what it was, I'd be more wealthy than I am.
By that I mean that in biology things are quite... Undeterministic. Working with computer is (except some very rare cases) a work when non-deterministic behaviour is most likely a bug. It's more or less the same in other hard sciences.

In biology (and other non-hard sciences) the systems quite often behave in non-deterministic way. To be clear I don't claim that this non-deterministic behaviour is inherent to biological systems (although it is when we take the quantum limit), but rather that they are so complex that untangling this complexity to get nice casuality is virtually impossible. Add the complexity and lack of understanding _on top of that_.

> It also seems illogical to say "nobody understands biology, therefore you cannot hope to".

I didn't mean to imply that "nobody understands biology, therefore you cannot hope to". I rather meant to express that (at the current level of our species and tools we have) "biology cannot be understood the same way computers are". IMO of course. Therefore applying the same methodology that you apply to hard sciences (math, phys, cs [, chem?]) may not yield as good results and often doesn't.

> If nobody understands much, that makes it more likely an outsider can contribute.

I can agree that it's easier for outsider to contribute something to biology than physics, mathematics or CS. However, to contribute meaningfully good grasp of concepts and techniques is necessary. Contrarily to math, theoretical or CS in biology it has to be acquired at the front lines of the battles i.e. in the lab. I agree that bioinformatics has made huge leaps in the recent years, but AFAIK nearly all significant new contributions in biology come from the laboratory work not theoretical considerations.
The 68000 is also an excellent choice for these. There's even 8bit bus variants, and some howebrew computers[0] exist using it.

Yeah that's not how laws work. Sure, they can move overseas, but for the business they conduct in the US they would need to comply with the post-breakup laws (assuming that happened, I don't think it will).

And if they don't comply? Fairly simple. Indictments. Raids. Arrests. Asset seizures. Public shaming of employees and executives working for the company. Etc.
> Since Elizabeth Warren shared in a campaign video on October 9 that after becoming pregnant in 1971, she was pushed out of a teaching position—many women have spoken out on social media saying they’ve been denied promotions, fired, and retaliated against for their pregnancies.

I’m sure most of those stories are true. Elizabeth Warren’s, however, was a lie.[1]

People evaluate things differently. Some people care a great deal about social proof, others make decisions based on the color palette of the default theme. Some care a great deal about the programs having features they will never use. Etc.
One could argue that, but one would be wrong, in the United States at least. Federal employees swear an oath of office to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" (see https://federalnewsnetwork.com/commentary/2019/10/the-oath-o...). It doesn't say anything about supporting either the office or the person of the President.
On one hand, yes, the USA has oligarchic components to its government, and we must not ignore them. They are mostly the ones guaranteed by the First Amendment to exist, like lobbying and public advertising. We joke that legislators are bought and paid for. Corporations can pay into and steer PACs. And, from a certain point of view, the Electoral College or any other sort of indirect election is oligarchic. In fact, the pattern of having a political council chosen by an oligos of democratically-elected representatives is quite common around the world.

On the other hand, "Russian oligarchy" [0] refers specifically to a grand looting of wealth during the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the effects of that transfer of wealth and establishment of corporate power structures are still reverberating throughout Russia. To this day, folks study the unique combination of oligarchy and corporatism in Russia [1].

On the gripping hand, there are functional oligarchies emerging from direct corporate selection of legislators, rather than from indirect effects such as PACs and lobbying, as in the USA. For example, Hong Kong only elects half of its parliament democratically, and half oligarchically [2]. On one hand, three of the latter are labor representatives; however, I count six seats going to the bankers, including the "oligarch"/"businessman" of the article ("insurance", "accounting", "finance", "financial services", and "chamber of commerce" twice, once for HK and once for China!) For another and quite different example, Ireland also only elects one house democratically. The other house consists of the prime minister's hand-picked elders, as well as several oligarchic councils [3]. Unlike any other system I know of, specific universities' graduates are constitutionally appointed to choose several seats.

Restructuring the company as Alphabet with a set of subsidiaries was a start to setting up lines to divide the company along.

The way to divide up Google is into the ad network, the search engine, operating systems, and everything else. Allow them to contract each other on public FRAND terms to start with, but setup annual reviews to consider a bigger hammer.

If they play games with moving house to avoid jurisdiction, ban payments to and from them.
Imagine if the mafia went around to collect protection money from business owners and then spent tiny percentage of that money funding various projects, many of which went nowhere and there are some projects that benefit their victims.

This is the setup you're in with the government. Wealthy people pay most of the taxes and support the government system. Tiny percentage of their confiscated wealth was apparently used to create the internet. Government was simply a middleman just like they are a middleman between people and construction companies when it comes to building roads.

People could have come together to create a non-profit that would do some basic research into various things. They could've pooled their money and paid for it collectively. However, you are already taxed, so why not use those funds to create an agency inside the government and do the same thing?
Introducing new technologies is difficult with the supposedly highly educated American farmers. Reality is, farmers worldwide are awfully anti-intellectual with a strong contrarian streak and rarely listen to science, even if ironically science has given them their way of life in the form of fertilizers, GMOs etc...

I think it's time we develop chemical agnostic impairment tests. I don't really care whether someone is impaired because of alcohol, research chemicals, or just emotions & extreme sleep deprivation; I care whether they have their wits, judgment & reflexes up to par to safely drive a car. And we should be able to test for that directly.
I guess in that case I'd be interested in hearing more about the "other mechanisms".
I think this is naive. The HR department is simply the mouthpiece for the policies that the company’s management wants.
Yeah, what next, keep paying people even though they are in the hospital sick, and call it "sick leave"? That's just giving people cash in return for nothing. Why are they trying to give us a communist dictatorship?

And there was already in ancient Greece, some 2600 years ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seisachtheia

"a set of laws instituted by the Athenian lawmaker Solon (c. 638 BC–558 BC) in order to rectify the widespread serfdom and slavery that had run rampant in Athens by the 6th century BC, by debt relief."

"The seisachtheia laws immediately cancelled all outstanding debts, retroactively emancipated all previously enslaved debtors, reinstated all confiscated serf property to the hektemoroi, and forbade the use of personal freedom as collateral in all future debts. The laws instituted a ceiling to maximum property size - regardless of the legality of its acquisition (i.e. by marriage), meant to prevent excessive accumulation of land by powerful families."

I'd prefer to be tracked by nothing. Or at least, by nothing short of a targeted TLA attack.

And yes, Bitcoin is not anonymous. Just the opposite, in fact. Some cryptocurrencies arguably are anonymous. But that's never really been tested, and in any case, they're not widely accepted.

Any VPN service that I connect to directly, I pay with credit cards. Because there's ~zero anonymity for them, no matter what.

But for the rest, I pay with well-mixed Bitcoin. I anonymize Bitcoin using wallets in a series of Whonix instances, via Tor. Using a different mixing service for each step. With N steps, I have somewhere between N/3 and N-1 ~anonymous Bitcoin pools. Depending on how many mixes I consider adequate.

So then I select Bitcoin pools for paying VPN services in proportion to the degree of separation.
The same way that most companies end up when they leave California. The engineers don't move away. They start up new companies that end up being competition to their old employer. Half the time, after some years, the big old company buys out the new competition and ends up with offices in the area again.

This happens all the time in the space industry lol.

Can anyone find on the internet:

1. An explanation of how AQI is calculated? Some initial searching turns up very little information as to the basis of the index.

2. How the safety levels (green, orange, red, purple) are decided.

It seems somewhat opaque. Anyone know why this is?
The worst part about this case was in the custody situations. Even if as a parent you prove the test was false, if they take your kid early enough and for long enough they still won't let you have your kid back. Even if you are totally innocent. And that time span is relatively short.

Ive always been curious and it seems like nobody really answers the question, perhaps because the act of driving drunk is so faux pas:

If you know that you are drunk and you are pulled over, is it better to refuse the breath test or not?

The only advice I have ever heard which made sense didnt answer that question but suggested you stall as long as possible so that the maximum amount of time would go by before you take the 'official' test at the police station, which should in theory result in a lower blood alcohol percent.
Only the first request from a different domain.
I've had good and bad experiences with HR. If you have good HR and a bad manager, you can rely on HR in times of family crisis (and if the manager punishes you, you'll probably have support to relocate within the company; rolling the dice but at least you've still got HR). If you have bad HR and a good manager, you rely on the manager. If both are bad, it's probably best to find new employment.
Somehow the text was hard to read / follow for me. Might be because I'm a bit tired though.

Anyway, OT: Even though there might not be an "official" standard, there is indeed a community standard.

If I explore other projects I hope to see some common structures reflected there, which makes it easier to browse the code.
Don't forget they have the competitive advantage of chiplets which enables higher yields, and the moat of the x86/AMD64 cross licensing agreement with Intel. Intel and AMD are effectively the only organizations that can legally produce modern x86 CPUs even if others had the technical knowledge to do so.

It's just absurd to me that a completely preventable cancer with this vaccine is shunned by groups across this country, because of the implication.

Also, a PSA for young adults and parents of children in the age groups - the HPV vaccine is usually covered (free) with insurance if you're in the recommended age groups, regardless of sex.

Depends on the company. I've worked for companies where horrid HR people recommended horrid policies to upper management.

It was their way of making themselves feel important, and most of the staff feared the upper HR people.
Something I’ve wondered, is there an amount of money that can’t be spent without changing the meaning of money? If I have $1 I can spend it right away on something tangible, like a can of Coca Cola. If I have $1 Trillion, it would be hard to spend on tangible products. I could probably buy the Coca Cola company and the secret recipe but not a Trillion cans of Coke. The value of money exists on a spectrum. The spending habits of the wealthy and poorest of us reflect this. The wealthy invest and save, but the poorest live paycheck to paycheck. The time spent owning the value of the dollars changes the more of them you have. You may own stocks, but the value can change wildly based on public sentiment, unlike my can of Coke. So where on the spectrum does this printed money go? If it goes to the poorest, it would be spent right away and directly likely leads to inflation of the price of consumer goods. If it goes to wealthiest, it may trickle down in the form of stock prices or investment capital that allows businesses and jobs to be created which at some point may lead to the price of a Coke going up. An 8.5% increase in printed money hasn’t led to 8.5% increase in inflation, so what’s the equation that explains this? I’m also not sure how it makes sense to do this math in percentages.
At this point I wonder if we're at the end of our journey, at least for now. I get so much value out of Haskell's type system I can't ever imagine giving it up. Row types would be the cherry on top (if they're ever implemented). It seems that you get so much value out of lack of a type system that you can't imagine ever giving it up. I have no basis on which to understand this point of view. It just leaves me dumbfounded. Perhaps it doesn't help that my most familiar point of reference for untyped programming is Python. I guess Clojure is very different.

> In my dynamic code base these changes are severely localized so that a creative decision over here does not cause a production capability over there to fall over.

This is a very specific claim which it might be helpful to dig into further. How can you ensure that removing a record from a field at the start of a pipeline will not cause a function at the end of the pipeline to fall over, since it was expecting to see it but didn't (and the intermediate parts of the pipeline were completely agnostic to it)?
It’s interesting that the project’s own tutorials do not discuss any of that and not only demonstrate making the API schema exactly equal to table schemas, but go further and claim that adding intermediate business logic or using tools that mediate between the data and business logic, like ORMs, are bad abstractions that should be intentionally avoided.

I mean, I agree with the strategy you state about views or stored procedures, but those are just in-database ways of achieving the same kinds of things you might prefer to write in a different language (thus ORM or query engine) because it puts the app or business logic all into the same version controlled system, leverages programming language ecosystems and tools that are often way more valuable than raw database programming (even in Postgres), etc.

Basically, if PostgREST needs you to do the old tricks of views & stored procedures to manage an abstraction layer that safely allows the underlying data schema to change, I just don’t see the benefit over doing this in a much better language ecosystem, like Python, and using much better web server tools to generate the APIs.

PostgREST looks much more useful for quick prototypes, internal use cases where schema breakage might be OK occasionally, or just mirroring & monitoring data as-is for ops and diagnostics. From a performance perspective, it might be fast enough for production, but that’s almost never as big a concern as managing the intermediate abstraction layer and associated app tooling.

Does not look like a good idea for production applications that need an intermediate API layer adapting the data to the use case.

I'm mid 30s and paid the ~$750 (using my FSA) for the three doses of Gardasil 9 post FDA approval but before the CDC has finished updating their guidelines that would prompt insurance coverage. There are few reasons you shouldn't get it if you have not yet been immunized, as it pays for itself if you prevent even one case of cancer that would've occurred from HPV transmission (whether that be a case you would've experienced, or a partner experienced).

Agree parents need to get over it (disclaimer: am parent, kids getting HPV vaccination as soon as they're old enough). Your kids are eventually going to have sex. BFD. Protect them from possible future harm with a cheap vaccine.

I'm not arguing against bereavement leave. I'm making the very real point that moving on is a choice and that 8 weeks or 80 weeks isn't going to make a difference. At some point you have to move on and going back to work is one of the best things to get your mind off of it. But this is really pedantic so that's all I say to this point.
Internet wasn't created by the government. Government simply stole from mostly wealthy people through taxation and paid researchers to develop basic technology. Also, the value of the internet is purely in the network effects. Internet is valuable because people use it and create stuff on top of it.

It's amazing you can still be productive with Windows 95 in 2019. It shows you how great it was. Imagine getting anything done with Mac OS 7.6, which was current in 1995.

We simply didn't know what dangers lie in connected computers back then, so it's no wonder it would be vulnerable to attack. Still, you'd think the sheer age of it would protect it (who's still attacking Windows 95?) and it probably did keep them safe for some time.
Yes, precisely this. You can't let web sites "opt in" to tracking users. That's the exact wrong threat model to be using here.
Retirement itself is a 20th century concept that requires a ponzi scheme to work. Unfortunately the family unit that used to support its elderly members unable to support themselves no longer exists in America. Instead we have nursing homes which amount to concentration camps for our elderly. But that’s okay, most of us are good nazis and deny that reality in trade for an uninterrupted screen viewing experience.
This is also why everything is mobile-first now. So many web-based applications insist that users install a mobile app for half of the functionality because that gives them a much stickier place to attach.

On a browser, it's drive-by, and your ability to track users is gone once they leave your site, especially with vendors like Mozilla and Apple implementing third-party cookie blockers by default and the ubiquity of adblock.

On a phone, if you install something, you'll probably leave it for at least a few days, and if you watch logcat, you'll notice that many of these apps are anything but patiently waiting for the user to decide open it up again.
Ouch, thats pricey. I guess there's a price for being an early adopter. I work with one of researchers that was involved in developing the HPV vaccine and even I didn't realize it was so pricey.

I'm curious why there kernel needs to be specially compiled for this. Is it somehow impossible to build an EFI program that boots whatever is concatenated to the end of it? Is it similarly impossible to have the kernel boot an initramfs concatenated to the end of it? This would make it trivial to swap out the individual components without recompilation.
