Yes, although my question remains: is it worth putting yourself at more risk than flying a MAX just to protest the risk of flying the MAX? I understand these things are irrational, however humans are notoriously bad at managing the incredibly low risk of something very bad happening. There's practically no chance of anything happening to you one way or the other and I think it's easy to forget that.
What do you mean by 'this kind of thing'? You didn't actually state any arguments against single header libraries.
I am primarily commenting on the "they don't need a warrant" bit, and the editorialized label of a "friendly administrative subpoena". A subpoena and warrant have a high legal bar, and the difference is who they are directed to. The way OP's comment is worded, it makes it seem like some significantly lesser bar than a warrant is being exercised. A subpoena still requires a court order, like a warrant! See https://legalbeagle.com/8676593-subpoena-vs-warrant.html.

Furthermore: Clearly, the Fresno police department person who spoke may not have understood the requirements for access or may not be aware of what prior actions (such as a subpoena) precipitated a release of video.

Yahui: The Chinese Art of Elegant Bribery (2011)
Hunting takes some skill in being able to find or attract your prey and place a humane shot so considering the effort required to get to that point it is probably not realistic for most people. But further to your suggestion, what is a normal life for a prey animal often consists of a lot of uncertainty in being able to find enough food to survive on the one hand and constantly being on guard against being eaten on the other. Is that really preferable to an animal that is bred for specific traits, raised under rather stable conditions of shelter, food, outside availability, etc, and then also quickly killed in the end? I'm talking about the best condition under which such animals are raised of course - which is what we should support, if at all. Wouldn't suggesting they visit a farm and slaughterhouse be more realistic and closer to an understanding of the process of meat production that they generally consume?
Cavitation can develop with wide range of energies. In this case, I'm suggesting energy level sufficient to create an audible sonic click, but not high enough to rip infant's head off.

>SIPC insurance up to 500K USD on all (non-crypto) investment accounts? This is on-par with the same kind of protections you get with any FDIC-insured checking or savings account.

While similar, SIPC is not "on-par" with FDIC.

With FDIC, the bank is taken over Friday afternoon and your cash is available Monday morning.

With SIPC, it could very easily be five years before you have access to your assets again.

The difference in the value of the insurance also means the regulatory scrutiny behind SIPC is far lower.

There is no link to the actual data in the article (https://www.wellness-heaven.de/wellness/study-theft-in-hotel...) and even it claims that mattresses were the least commonly-stolen items on the list. It also provides no information on frequency of theft. Are there 300 pens stolen for every one mattress? Fewer than 1 in 20 4 and 5-star hotels even reported mattress theft. Bereft of meaningful data and fluffed up with speculation, this is out of place on HN.
I one time let a friend edit a photo, blurred my skin, etc and posted it to social media, and it got way more likes than any of unedited, unfiltered photos. I never edit photos (rarely do I post any for that matter) but man that was a real disappointment.

There's no question social media has to be bad for our self-image.
>Our chances of survival as a species have improved as a result of technology.

I was totally with you up until this point. Modern humans have achieved amazing things, but have also invented whole new catagories of potential self inflicted catastrophies.

We are one nuclear war or environmental collapse away from being a complete failure of a culture, and taking thousands of other species down with us. The biggest modern advances have only just happened, in historical terms, and we've already had some very close calls, with more on the way.

I think by "surveyed" they don't mean "asked one person for a score" but rather got some overall information from one person including their qualitative feelings and perceptions. There is signal in those as they discuss elsewhere in the article, but the quantitative rating allegedly has no value even when averaging. That's the charitable reading, anyway.
City to city shuttles and buses seems to be growing. The one I'd been taking from Flagstaff, AZ to Phoenix and back got bought out by a national company called Groome, while FlixBus, Megabus, and OurBus have been adding routes in Arizona (my home state) and Florida (where I live now). In Colorado there is a publicly run bus called Bustang that goes long distances including from Denver to Fort Collins. I also took a publicly run bus from Merced to Yosemite, and its service had recently expanded. There seems to be a lot happening in the space with reduced rates of car ownership [1].

I think the place they're in between got squeezed on both ends, and so did some of their customers, for whom neither UberPool nor city to city shuttles is as good of an option, or an option at all.

The first time I landed in the US, I took SuperShuttle from the airport to my apartment 60 miles away. The company I worked for had paid for it ahead of time and they dropped me at the door. Sad to see the business go away, because of VC subsidies.

But many animals eat other animals. Is it better because they don't have the mental facilities to process the morality? Is morality really objective to begin with, or is it just another human thing?

It's not that there's nothing wrong with the food industry, but to say killing to eat is morally wrong without going into the murky details is a bit dishonest imo. I think it's fair to put humans on a higher standard, but literally nobody knows what the long term consequences, across many generations and demographics, of switching off of meat entirely, would do. The default option is to just keep doing what we know works. Meat works, again ignoring the issues with the food industry unrelated to the underlying morality question.
Finally a country not afraid of eating critters! Or at least, not afraid of feeding them to their animals...

Seriously, I've eaten protein processed from insects plenty of time and it's in no way disgusting. People need to get over their ridiculous culinary phobias.

If we are to survive climate apocalypse and accelerating population growth, we're gonna need to learn to eat bugs instead of cows.
Because the coverage doesn't reflect the polls?

Is your logic "He's not suppressed - if he's not getting covered it means he's irrelevant. If polls show he is relevant, your awareness of the polls counts as coverage, and so he isn't being suppressed."?

No matter what the facts were, you'd conclude from them no suppression is happening.

All because the GRU forgot to set their accounts to private.

This is what budgets are used for.
When I used to fly between SFO and Boston, I would always use Knights in Boston. They are a shared van service that often has 2-3 well-planned stops per ride.

I did Supershuttle once, and the length of time it took for me to get home was absurd. All the other stops just made, what should be a 30 minute ride home, absurdly long.

Good riddance. Supershuttle only made sense if you have a large group and can take up most of the van.

You'd think it'd be obvious that they needed to cut down on the number of stops.
Yes if you get good and can pass programming tests and/or have a portfolio.

I know that moral philosophy is a complex matter, but I should hope we can agree that being upset that your car was broken into is significantly different than being upset that there’s a hip coffee shop in your neighborhood.
To... formally allocate money where it's most needed? Agreed. That is what a budget is for.
There's more than one kind of trust.

You should totally trust your client to show stuff to the user. And you can generally trust your client when giving you user data, in the sense that you can trust that the data came from the user. (Unless the client is hacked by third-parties or buggy.)

Basically, you can trust your client as much as you can trust your user. Not more.
This is funny because it's true.
The wired "pro" version works a lot better (it does reliably capture video from just before the motion was detected until the end of the event), but you can still just knock the camera off the wall since it takes a couple minutes to upload the footage to the mothership (even with a solid wifi connection and 1 gig symmetric fiber connection beyond that)
SuperShuttle is garbage. Unpredictable timing, you don't know how many stops so you have to budget in more time. If you aren't traveling alone (e.g. family of 2,3 or more) it is substantially more than a taxi, uber, or lyft. Miserable reviews on Yelp. I have a hard time buying the nostalgia here... It was a bad version of UberPool to compete with taxis back in the day, but obsolete now.

Funny because the article mentions the coercion of NWA in the US as precedent.

>There's a long history of police butting heads with hip hop artists, according to Dr Rebecca Sheehan, who researches the link between social identity and music at Macquarie University.

>"The FBI issued a cease and desist order to NWA," she said. "When they refused to stop releasing their music, stop distributing it and refused to stop playing concerts, local metropolitan police around the United States get the idea to start shutting concerts down for them."
For $99,172 to $166,500 per year, you'll get to help the American government commit atrocities in other countries.

>otherwise do nothing to improve your life.

I overwhelmingly agree, but disagree in one regard; there is some signal in the scream of the noise and in not engaging whatsoever you miss that sliver of signal, which can be very important events in friend's/family member's lives they've chosen to document there, or maintain some sense of contact with people who are now geographically distant, etc.

Overall their effects are indescribably negative, simply due to how they effectively game people's innate insecurities, but they do have 1 to 2 uses that do improve the life of a private individual.

In respect to privacy laws, I've always wondered if the only way we will get any reform is if some politician or other high public official gets persecuted and uses his/her power for change.
Most people would think the government is responsible for all these drug epidemics: the DEA jailing minorities on minor infractions or the CIA hustling cocaine between countries (look it up).

But really the true culprit is just the youth, and always has been. Ever since the early 1900s traditional family values and social community/cohesion has been seriously on decline. Say what you will about Ted Kaczynski, but his essay/book Industrial Society and its Future is a wealth of knowledge on this subject (strange I know coming from a Christian woman).

But look at it this way: people resort to drugs because reality sucks. Why does reality suck? Well, we live in a society, and this very society (and its implicit social network) causes our youth to suffer.

Just look at how much the new Joker movie resonated with kids, teenagers and young adults! Heck, my niece of 12 years was itching to put on a mask and march in the street after she walked out of the theater. It was terrifying.

What? Assuming you live in America, "many" people's bodies are not catabolic for any meaningful portion of a given week. Not even close.

You can force a catabolic state onto yourself...but how does TRT help? Note also that insulin levels associated with obesity also modulate that mechanism, in the opposite direction of your argument, but let's ignore that. Theoretically you prevent loss of lean muscle mass while in a calorie deficit while intermittent fasting, but that's an obscure edge case for someone looking to increase in size.

Also, TRT is a steroid. At high enough doses. And, if that holds, how can it be less effective? Ignoring some of the biology itself.

Sorry for the sharp rebuttal but what are you talking about.

If you look at the research there's a very narrow band of philiosogic changes available to new and intermediate gym goers. The exact figures escape me, but if I recall with perfect nutrition and perfect gym adherence I believe I previously calculated for an average american male for that top end to be around 0.2 to 0.7 pounds of lean muscle mass additions per week. Based on an older paper. And that's the theoretical ceiling.

But, the flip side was that even for "hard gainers" with "feminine qualities in facial structure" (for which I've never seen research for but will take you at face value on that, no pun intended) that also means that gradual incremental changes are probable and positive with enough adherence.

Saying that a healthy strong body is not attainable without growth hormone or steroids seems like a cop out, when just sticking to it will (very very slowly) yield incremental progress.

> A primary point of SGX is confidentiality: the host OS can’t map and read enclave pages because the contents are encrypted and the hardware will generate an exception on any attempt. In other words, your data is confidential from even the infrastructure operator.

You're still trusting Intel to truthfully verify attestation. Intel could lie about this. Ultimately you're trusting the vendor implementing the environment and providing the attestations to behave as they claim, independent of the technical characteristics of the environment.

But in terms of the technical characteristics, it seems far easier to mitigate side channels in an environment like EC2 than SGX. And that's what I based my opinion on.
It depends on the music. Electronic music with no vocals really helps me concentrate. As soon as there’s vocals I’m doomed.
Even if a single police officer costs $1M a year all-in (which I'm significantly high-balling, I hope), I imagine 15 police officers hired specifically to work on car break-in cases would make a huge dent. The car thieves keep doing what they're doing because they know the police won't track them down. Even some minor efforts to start tracking them down could act as a powerful deterrent.

That's not really the point, though. It's not just a simple monetary calculation. Even if the true value of repairs and stolen items was $30M, I would allocate several times that of taxpayer money just for the quality of life benefits, assuming it would do some good.
I purchased a unicorn and as someone who has started multiple companies I am utterly shocked. Unbelievable.
The other thing to consider is the pragmatic aspect. A US bill costs an average of 10.3c to print [1]. A US $1 bill is 2.61 by 6.14 inches (16 square inches). I don't have bulk flex PCB costs on hand, but bulk FR4 rigid is $0.05c/sqin and flex is definitely more. That prices you at minimum $0.80 in PCB. An NFC antenna is a specialized piece of kit that adds cost, tuning, etc. A Dual-Interface NFC/EMV card costs $2. Adding all that flex means we're talking $3.

Now your bills cost over 30X what a traditional bill costs. Since counterfeiting is only 0.01% of US bills, to stop that, you're proposing we pay a 30X premium on the manufacture of those bills?

The treasury prints 38M notes per year, totaling $541M dollars. That's a material cost of $3.9M. If 0.01% of that $541M is counterfeit, that's an additional cost of just $54,000, bringing our total just under $4M. Even if you chose to include "2% inflation" as a cost (and to be clear, you shouldn't) that's still just $10.82M.

To print the same 38M notes in Kong we'd be paying $106M. That means to eliminate $4M in printing and counterfeiting costs we'd have to pay $106M. You're proposing we pay 10-27X as much per year to manage our currency. [2] Not to mention the sheer electricity cost of creating and locking up the value on the Ethereum blockchain. Then, mechanical stress/strain and failure of the secure elements over time takes value out of both the Kong real-world supply and also out of Ethereum, which is already subject to massive breakage.

This is basically why we don't verify signatures on checks. It's cheaper to eat the fraud cost.

“...if they spent this time on actually helping do the work in terms of what's needed and wanted“

Is what good managers do.
But if you schedule a ride for tomorrow they'll wait until the time of the ride and then look for drivers. It's handy if you might forget, but it misses the most handy part of the old model: they'll either tell you yes or know, and then you know ahead of time if it'll be possible to get a ride.

Neither Uber or Lyft will even tell you if historically drivers have been available if you request a weird time. In some places you can call an Uber at 5am, in others that'd never work, and figuring out which requires local knowledge which runs contrary to the whole point of Uber/Lyft.
That's not what scheduling an Uber actually does, though.

"The Scheduled Rides feature allows you to select a 10 minute window for a driver to come pick you up. At the start of the window, the app will send out a ride request on your behalf."

So if you "schedule a ride" at 7pm, it is exactly the same as just using the app manually at 6:50pm. There is absolutely nothing remotely close to a guarantee that anyone will you pick you up at all, much less at the time you chose.
Way back when, I used Knight's regularly and the waiting to pick up someone from a delayed flight and the swapping vans for the drop-off to my house got really annoying. At some point I had the realization that I didn't need to be so penny pinching (and, to be fair, I got more senior so I probably had more latitude).
