I absolutely do. Being able to understand other individual's point of view is at the center of my argument. May I suggest that you conflate support for Trump and support for his policies? It is not a meaningless distinction. Without going too much into the weeds and reciting quotes from "Hillbilly Elegy", it helps to understand that Trump supporters, on average, were not in that great of a shape financially. They were literally abandoned by the elites, called various forms of deplorables, and then expected to vote for not-Trump, because... what exactly? They just had their livelihood decimated by trade deals that brought money to conglomerates, but left them in the dust. "Their" representatives in congress and senate pay lip service to what they think they want to hear, but nothing ( some cynically note by design ) gets done. Their farms are slowly being bought out by agrobusiness as they are effectively forced to compete with low wage immigrants. No politicians would dream of suggesting companies should stop hiring them, so fines don't follow, but a token level of enforcement makes it look like something is going on.

Along comes Trump and uses that pain to his advantage. We won't go after the companies, but we will sure deport them all. Kinda stupid idea given the sheer number of illegal aliens, but it is better than nothing. Some people nod. We will then build a wall. Kinda stupid, but it is a good visual. Some people nod. We will renegotiate NAFTA. People are listening. They know this is one of the reasons their little community fell apart. Nodding intensifies. And so it went on.. Trump was better than doing nothing.

It was a scream for help and it was ignored by everyone, but Trump, Bernie and Yang. Everyone else pays lip service, but do not seem to understand the underlying socio-political current in the US.

And more to your point, all the policies that you disagree with, the discrimination and all that jazz stems straight from that pain. Those people feel persecuted not because someone is getting equal rights, but because the country that they were born and raised in, sold them out in a truly American fashion. They felt betrayed. They would likely give zero to no shits about LGBTs, foreigners or women if their bellies were full and were left alone. But they are not and were not. Foreigners are a proxy for NAFTA issues. LGBT is a proxy for change. ( I think you may be onto something with women.)

And you have no sympathy for that? And you are surprised they are lashing out?

Then get ready for another 4 years of Trump. Unless you.. we somehow manage to go beyond our comfort zones and openly talk about what ails us, there is no hope for reconciliation, the polarization will increase with likely even worse results than what we have now; though I fear to speculate.

Thus, little sympathy is advised.

If you're going to do long-term care, make it easy on yourself. It can quickly become extremely taxing both mentally and physically.

It may become a challenge to get the help you need - either time or finances.

Spend money early on helpful tools. It is easier than you realize to get things like patient lifts, stair chairs or helpful beds. Older folks use them for a time and sell them for a pittance or give them away.

A good bed can help with reading, sleeping and snoring, and there are some amazing ones that transform (as cool as autobots and decepticons) from beds into chairs that can roll around.

I always found Bezier curves strange - they seem awful as a way to approximate curves. When you "draw" with a Bezier curve in Illustrator (or Inkscape), the lines tend to fly all over the place - they can be an OK approximation but they're often very unstable. The problem, I think, is that any polynomial or equivalent higher order is going to have this instability property.

If I was in your position, I would start with a labor attorney. First off, there are plenty of them. Second, they specialize in the employee/employer relationship. Privacy is one very common aspect of this relationship.

Hi all, really cool that you have taken an interest in this project, a lot of your comments below are very insightful and interesting. I work on the team that deploys this tech on set. We focus on how the video signals get from the video output servers to the LED surfaces, coordinating how we deal with tracking methods, photogrammetry, signal delivery, operator controls and the infrastructure that supports all of this. As noted in some of the comments, the VFX industry solved tracking with mocap suits a long time ago for the post-production process. What we are exploring now is how we can leverage new technology, hardware, and workflows to move some of the post-production processes into the pre-production and production (main/secondary unit photography) stages.

If you are interested in checking out another LED volume setup, my team also worked on First Man last year. This clip shows a little more of how we assemble these LED surfaces as well as a bit of how we use custom integrations to interface with mechanical automation systems. [https://vimeo.com/309382367]
> > Trump had to conquer the corruption of the Republican Party

> You mean "increase," not "conquer."

“Conquer”, as in “forcibly assume control of”, seems quite accurate. Insofar as there was corruption in the Party before Trump, that corruption is now firmly in service to Trump.
I suggest taking a look at Cljfx

https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx

It's built around JFX, but it's very Clojure-y (much more than the alternate Swing library). I've been making small GUIs with it and it's convenient and "just works". The only issue I've had is when some callback blows up somewhere in the guts you don't get clean call stacks so it's very hard to debug, but then.. isn't most GUI code? You just need to work incrementally which is easy to do with a REPL
I have two OnlyKeys I backup against the other to handle the lack of ubiquity of FIDO2. So many places are still only using SMS, but as an alternative, have built proprietary, in-app authentication systems that can't be audited. I had a phone break, and I wanted to purchase a new phone online to have it ship when I returned; and I couldn't access my remote work paycheck transfer (in-app), I couldn't log into my bank (SMS + in a different country so not the same SIM), and I couldn't log into the more popular online shopping (SMS).

Auth needs to be able to be decoupled from phones. With the OnlyKey, I've stored the important TOTP keys as well like my email as well as password for my password manager. Being as 'dumb' as they are, I've had it go through the wash still working fine.
They're secure right up until the point someone with the ability to do so spoofs your phone number.

And yeah, Signal will detect that and inform the other side that "security number has changed". At which point they'll promptly confirm the new one, because they don't understand its purpose anymore so than private key management etc - because they simply installed the app from the store, and expect it to "just work".
"At the moment broadcaster is in Alpha, and should be considered a working design document."

"It currently supports Redis PUB/SUB, and Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY, plus a simple in-memory backend, that you can use for local development or during testing."

I think this is something the Python Web scene very much needs to see grown and mature.

Also the Postgres backend is interesting, didn't even know it could do that!

> Mitt Romney, John McCain, Paul Ryan, Bill Kristol, both president Bushes and Jeb, Colin Powell, Condeleeza Rice, James Comey, Robert Gates, Schwarzenegger, and literally dozens of Republican Congressmen all prove you wrong.

In what way are those “the corruption of the Republican. party” that Trump has “conquered”? While there might be some sense that that phrase makes sense, it certainly isn't in reference to the people you name, whom are neither particularly corrupt (certainly not the scale of Trump) nor has Trump conquered them (he certainly has conquered the Republican Party at their expense, but that doesn't justify the claim about corruption.)
> Because they are perfectly compatible with industry-standard Béziers, there is very little disadvantage to be had.

Anyone know what "compatible" means as used here?

As an aside, I personally prefer NURBS, they feel much more "pure" if that makes any sense. Plus they can produce real circles, which is a pretty nice feature of a curve-system.

Most corporations would have a very difficult (i.e. impossible) time tracking down all of their owners for a signature on those contracts.

That's why we allow them to be a legal person. So Comcast can sign a contract to purchase a new toner cartridge, rather than requiring a signature from each owner of each of their 4.5 billion shares outstanding.

A few years back I wrote a basic bezier curve library with boolean operations in C/C++. Bezier curves are fantastic when you get started, they're easy to deal with and the math is well documented online.

However the edge cases are nightmares to deal with. Intersection (and similar operations) typically work by approximating via subdivision, so you'll never get an accurate answer, which is important when dealing with boolean operations. You'll wind up piling on hacks. One edge case I wound up being due to a floating point arithmetic error, which was fun because my computer science degree finally wound up coming in handy.

It makes me appreciate the work that the guys who made paper.js. They've done some outstanding work, and it's by far the most superior open source vector graphics framework out there.
Note: the Work Number is effectively a collusion of employers against labor, an employer's "union" of sorts . Much lie the one where "competing" employers agreed not to recruit from each other to avoid bidding eats. Remember that next time your employer tells you you don't need a union.
>That’s why they call it “the orient”.

Not challenging your claim that East-on-top is common (since I have no idea), but: it's called the orient because oriens is Latin for rising, and the sun rises in the east. Many other languages also have a word for east based on their word for rising. For a cursory reading, check out the Wiki article on the etymology Orient: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orient#Etymology
I bought a Purple mattress a few years ago. It was debilitatingly uncomfortable. After three nights I gave up and called them for a return. Their customer service spent quite a long time trying to convince me to keep trying: their pitch/theory was that their mattress is so extremely comfortable and all other mattresses are so extremely uncomfortable that the body gets used to that discomfort and it will take a few weeks or more to switch over to accepting the comfort of Purple. After repeatedly saying no thank you and eventually having to explain to them quite bluntly that their theory was complete horseshit, they processed the return... the "return" was a Salvation Army truck, which, when it arrived, already had two brand new Casper mattresses in it. I asked the guys in the truck if this was normal and they said "yeah, we get at least 1-2 of these every day".

FWIW, I bought an IKEA foam mattress + memory foam topper for about 1/3rd of what the Purple cost and it's been very comfortable for a few years now.
This paper shows what can be done when you carefully run an ML program alongside a wet lab experimental program tailored to feed back into the ML program. The results end up far more interesting than some recent "ML aided drug discovery" papers in that they actually discovered a drug that functions very differently than known antibiotics (AB).

Even though the structures that came out look AB-like, they work differently than known ABs, probably by disrupting the pH gradient across the cell membrane. Other ABs might do the same as part of their activity, but work better under different conditions than this one. The result is an innovative structure, and a molecule that can hit resistant strains.

Combining ML and wet lab is the real way we'll get new drugs. You need to regularly check in with a high content ground truth or you'll come up with either uninteresting or useless results. I'm a bit biased though, that's what we do at my company ;)
Is there any other reputable site for a US citizen to buy crypto quickly with a credit card or bank account?

I have used Coinbase for lack of alternatives. It's awful. Every time I sign in (a few times a year) there's some new problem with my account. Either they need more ID verification (done it 10x) or they decided my purchases are going to be delayed 3 days or blah blah blah. I just got an email from them today saying my account is suspended if I don't take some action.

This is not the decentralized future crypto people want. It's a half-assed bank that doesn't need its customers.
Not by anyone with half a clue there isn’t.
I agree I don't see AWS and Google becoming simpler, but instead becoming more complex. They are also catering to workloads that are completely different and they really need to have every single possible knob and dial and configuration possible to satisfy these enterprise customers.

Doing what they do is complex and takes a certain skill set, but also doing simplicity right is it's own skill set.

I would say that I would be more worried in the past when AWS was more of a single player, but now that Google and Azure are firmly in the picture, AWS has some real competition in their core market which takes their focus away from us which is great.
Because its really hard to objectively rate a mattress. IKEA sells them at a fair price and they are great, but people in their minds see them as shit because they are cheap so they can't possibly be as good as the $2000 one.

A conversation between Jacob Appelbaum and Juan Branco.
I think it was covered either in the article or one of the comments here. But the companies don't really care because the mattress cost very little to make so they don't really make a loss if the customer was never going to buy it anyway.
In 2018 those laws were actually passed, and there's a tonne of uncertainty around them (which is probably on purpose).

I'm pro right to die, but it's complicated. If we start killing people "because you are a burden to your family," that's a rather ugly slippery slope that flies in the face of most moral and legal precedents that say "Love and legal obligation mean staying to the bitter end and never faltering in your duty."

Most people with something terribly wrong are holding out hope for some new breakthrough -- some new drug or therapeutic treatment -- that will finally fix them. A lot of people can't quite commit to euthanasia because "what if they find a cure a week later?"

I think I should have the right to say "Nope. I'm done with this crap." I don't think other people should have the right to decide "Well, if you conveniently die now, we can still afford that vacation....um, I mean, we hate seeing you suffer! That's what I mean!"

I watched the original trilogy in the theaters when they were released. (Admittedly I was a bit young for the first one.)

I've seen all the follow-ups/addons/sequels/rewrites that exist. Rogue One is the movie that I waited 30 years to see another story in the SW universe. It wasn't perfect but it was damn good enough.

"According to CDC, this year's flu season has led to at least 12 million medical visits and 250,000 hospitalizations. In addition, CDC found that the percentage of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness increased to 6.8% in the week ending Feb. 8, up from 6.6% in the week ending Feb. 1. The national baseline for those visits is 2.4%. Between 14,000 and 36,000 flu-related deaths overall occurred from Oct. 1, 2019, to Feb. 8, CDC estimated."

The season is far from over.
I kinda worry about this.

I wish I could tell people that having that much access raises legal issues for me.

It's not enough to have them sign a contract limiting liability because as a business they have far more lawyers than I do.

When I work on a contract I want to be able to say in court that I couldn't possibly be in any way related to the event of a bug, security breach or data loss because I simply do not have access.

It is genuinely worrying on my part to carry around credentials with that much data.
