> Nurses make over $125,000 easily

Maybe in California, but most of the US is not union and most nurses do not make anywhere close to this. $30-40/hr is much more typical. That salary is far about the top 10% of nursing salaries (which is $106k).

Normally this might seem like a case of sore loser.

But here's the thing: in government it's very important that contracts are awarded on objective merit, because otherwise there's shockingly large opportunity for corruption and favoritism. Billions and billions of dollars of opportunity.

And also in this case, Trump's deep antipathy towards Bezos is well-documented, as well as his willingness to use government means for personal ends. Trump instructing the Pentagon to drop the objectively best bid seems to fit his established pattern of behavior.

So in this case, Amazon's suit seems to be an entirely reasonable response. If what Amazon alleges is true and they win, it will be a victory for good government and correct use of taxpayer dollars. Presidents aren't kings -- it's vitally important for democracy that objective procedures are followed, and that personal grudges aren't allowed to influence multi-billion dollar deals.

Kind of like when I go for a walk in a forest that I haven't been to. A forest with many possible paths.

Whenever I hit a fork or a junction, I go to the places that seem most interesting. I say to myself: "Oooh it looks like there's a cozy lake over there", or "over there, there's a little river that I can jump over, or play with creating a temporary dam".

If I get lost I can walk back (click the back button) and change my choices, or decide to just walk the same way back/go home (stop reading).
I can follow that line of reasoning, but I think it is biased (maybe unintentionally) to the point where its conclusion is inaccurate.

Indeed, the League of Nations couldn't prevent WW2, neither did the UN prevent a lot of atrocities from happening. That is, aside from all the atrocities that it did actually prevent (probably numerously, but we will never know for they didn't happen). If not from starting, than at least from expanding to the point that they otherwise would have. As for WW2, besides its roots in the settlement of WW1, it was also the opportunistic selfish advantages that some particular countries (not talking about Germany) saw in it's unfolding, while pretending otherwise to the public, that made WW2 to unfold as it did (reminder: it was the USA who continued doing good business with Germany, until it was Hitler who declared war on the USA).

The real question to ask is: what would we have without the UN? All there would be is bilateral agreements between individual countries. It is well known from history how easily those create extremely complex situations where a local conflict can often quickly spiral out into global conflicts (because of conflicting agreements between allies of the involved parties). WW1 probably being a good example of that, and in fact a primary motivator behind the creation of what eventually became the UN.

Climate change will indeed cause all sorts of problems, violence no doubt among them. One thing is sure though, with only bilateral agreements between countries, it will be only more bloody and inhumane than with the UN at least striving for a global consensus approach. It's only with collective agreement that the effects of these challenges can be limited to their least worst outcomes. It will be bad either way, but that's no valid argument to fatalistically argue that nothing will matter. Of course, the USA could choose that none of this is their problem, and only look at their own self-interests. But that will rather sooner than later pave the way of their own inevitable demise (which in that case would probably be a very unpleasant one).

As long as a substantial part of the US economy and international political dominance comes directly from how the country profits from conflict elsewhere on the globe, little chance that the USA will ever sincerely contribute to making this world a better place. This is not to say that other countries are benevolent or sincere, but it is the USA who openly advocates breaking down whatever instruments we still have to resolve issues by consensus instead of violence.

The UN is by no means a perfect solution, but without it this world would likely be a far worse place. The world before it existed sure was. Something apparently only the USA (and a few vassals) seems to openly disagree with. I remember only a few other countries that did; mostly totalitarian ones and responsible for some of those atrocities that that the UN failed to prevent.

One could argue that no matter which company is selected.
The actual offense is making handwavy statements like 'we're drugging kids for not wanting to concentrate on things they're not interested in'. ADHD is not as simple as that. And for people affected by it, even interesting things are often physically impossible to concentrate on - it's incredibly frustrating and a debilitating condition to live with without medication (depending on severity, of course). A different environment wouldn't solve the problem.

Aside from all that, I agree that forcing everyone to conform to the narrow range of 'normal' in general is less than ideal, but since this is the way current society is structured down to its very basis, the idealistic idea of turning that on its head is probably not very helpful to those presently impacted by it.

NOAA Satellites Helped Save a Record 421 Lives in 2019
I've used Mint for years. It started as a cool tool to track you transactions. It then turned into a tool to sell me credit cards. The transaction logging never got "smarter".

Example:
I use a credit card for everyday purchases and then pay it off each month. Mint counted every transaction AND my payment at debits therefore each month it showed I was spending double. Despite my efforts to train Mint to stop this, it never worked.

Last year I tried adding all my financial accounts, but it fell flat on it's face and never resolved the issue I had with double reporting (despite Mint knowing everything about my financial world).

I recently pulled all my accounts and added back only my primary credit card. I'll now use it only for the occasional "gotcha" such as a bank fee, double transaction or unrecognized transaction. I no longer am interested in fixing miscategorization.
As the FAQ says, this is written by largely the same team as who worked on Puppeteer, who largely moved to MS last year.

That said, I have severe reservations about their claims that it's cross-browser:

They mention WebDriver, and how they hope to "steer it towards the bi-directional communication channel", but they've not at any point tried to engage with the working group, and they've historically actively pushed back against any attempt to standardise CDP or anything very similar to it before (despite CDP already having an ecosystem around it). They were the owners of the CDP protocol within the Chrome team and it was their lack of support for any standardisation that is the reason why there is no standardised protocol today.

They say they support Firefox, but this is support in the same sense as puppeteer-firefox: it relies on a large patch to Firefox, which looks similar to the one written for puppeteer-firefox, and which has no chance of getting landed. It seems like they haven't taken the feedback on-board from when they tried this with puppeteer-firefox: springing a large patch onto the Mozilla community is unlikely going to get accepted, especially when they haven't addressed the architectural concerns raised previously.

They could've engaged with the work that has been happening around Firefox with a duplex testing protocol over the past year, but they haven't, and they've written their own thing in isolation. The fact that Firefox now already has another protocol partly implemented makes it even less likely that their patch and their new protocol will get accepted.

The group now maintaining Puppeteer at Google is actively engaging with those working on WebDriver and actively engaging with the work happening around Firefox which makes it far more likely that Puppeteer in the future will support an unmodified Firefox binary.

A certain level of procrastination is healthy. We're not meant to be machines, constantly productive 24/7. Downtime to enjoy your life, consume creative works, and unwind is good.

I'm not talking about that here. I'm talking about severe procrastination, when it's very difficult to do the work you need to do. The goal is to strike a healthy balance.

You can use this to your advantage to create peace of mind as I found out.

The mechanism you describe is what is the basis for the "Getting things done" framework. You learn your brain to "trust" the "authority" so it can let go of all loose ends that keep your brain busy (like stuff it needs to remember, like appointment, paying a bill, fixing something in the house, etc). But if you are able to trick your brain in not checking in with the authority (as GTD dictates) you are left with a lot of spare room in your brain to think creative, at least thats my theory.

I think that enforcing traffic law is one of the best ways to use police to keep the public safe. However, I suspect that having 5 cops at one intersection is a mis-allocation of resources. It would make that intersection safer, but at a pretty high salary cost, and even if the salary was available, it's likely at least some of the cops would be more useful at other intersections.
This thread is kind of chilling, because everyone within is treating it like it's just chat software or something.

A local educational institution used a local native american symbol for a long time. It was always done respectfully (no weird chanting or anything). One tribe even regularly sent drummers and dancers to open sporting events. It was a really cool thing to see / be a part of, everyone had a great time in a community that didn't have much in the way of connections between the tribal entities and etc.

But it was decided that the local tribes should vote on if it should continue or not. One tribe overwhelmingly voted yes. Another tribe due to tribal politics chose not to vote. So out went the tradition, away went what was one of the few connections between the reservations and non reservations. I think it was a great loss.

I dunno... I kind of like the fact it hasn't changed.

I've been using it for years. It does what it needs to do, and literally nothing else.

Most of the charts and graphs work fine. It seems to be specifically the investment ones that require Flash, which is a bummer. Honestly I'd never used them before, so hadn't even noticed.

But in contrast to other software that completely overhauls its interface (usually for the worse) every few years, and turns into slower and slower bloatware... I guess it's kind of refreshing to me that Mint hasn't changed... knock on wood.
Just as a counterpoint...I was successful throughout school and college but crashed and burned as soon as I moved to a new city for a software job at Amazon. Later, after quitting due to mental health issues I got a diagnosis for ADHD. I took vyvanse for about five or six months, but it didn't really help with my ADD symptoms and it gave me heart palpitations and made my anxiety worse.

After a lot of introspection, I realized that I was actually choosing to be disorganized, bad at managing my time, etc, because I didn't see these things as a priority. I've been working on my executive function, treating it as a skill that is possible to learn, and so far it's going well.

I got some really good advice from my therapist, who told me to stop saying I "should" do things and instead be honest with myself about whether something is actually a priority to me. She pointed out that whenever I tell myself I "should" do something and don't do it, I'm training my brain to ignore my own decisions. Before, I think my mindset was that I have default behaviors, and doing something productive takes effort - now I remind myself that I'm making a choice even when I default to my old habits.
That is not yet proven. Azure has plenty of other business, so there exist reasons to select it other than corruption.

We came up with the idea while working for a large online fashion retailer, where they were spending a lot of resources building a customer support bot, that basically replicated the contents of their help pages. So we thought, why not use the content that is already on the website, and make it accessible through a conversational interface? Kind of like when you ask a question to Google and get a direct answer in a featured snippet.

We added the "almost" qualifier for two reasons:
1. Our scraper needs to be able to extract the contents of your FAQ page. If search engines can index your page, you're probably good to go, but in some cases it doesn't work yet (e.g. dynamically loaded content)
2. Depending on the topic and the format of your FAQs, the quality of the answers can vary. That's why we allow the creation of demos, so you can try how the bot performs on your page.
An aside:

Why do so many websites (like this one) now have large blank spots near images when browsing with JavaScript disabled? I'm not much of a web developer, but it looks like the site was trying to use srcset but used it in a weird way that has two img tags with the srcset of the images, with one with a data URL in the src attribute that contains a blank image and the dimensions of the image. So right next to the image is a large blank spot. It appears that some JavaScript hides one of these images.

Similarly, many websites show all sizes of the images when you have JavaScript disabled. As far as I'm aware, it is possible to do responsive images without JavaScript, so I don't get why people do things like this.
When I say governance I don't mean political theory, but something more akin to leadership.
