>See I actually think that it's a good thing to call for, say , "stamp out racism".

Does stamping out racism to you involve preventing people from freely and equally participating in the political process? By which I mean being able to utilize the same means to advocate for their interests and political beliefs as any other law-abiding group would be - able to gather in public spaces without fear of physical retaliation, able to utilize the services of major companies that provide electronic resources like payment processing and social media communication and other internet services, and things of that nature.

>Would you say this if you believed there was an actual possibility that, one day the target of their racism would be you?

Yes, I would still say what I have said.

>Just imagine that you're living in your country, born there etc, but the brewing racist population happens to not include your particular ethnic group

Certainly I would not want to share a country with people that thought that way about me. You must be able to rely on your countrymen in times of serious crisis, and obviously I could not rely on those people. I would advocate for physically removing them if I believed that they posed an existential threat to people of my ethnicity and if I believed that such a removal would be feasible. If it was not feasible due to their numbers or influence or whatever I would get out of there for my own safety.

What I would not want under any circumstances is for them to remain in my country but be prevented from advocating for their perceived interests in the same way that everyone else is able, or in other words for them to see that the interests of others are being openly and plainly put ahead of their own perceived interests - if they are not themselves able to advocate for their perceived interests, why should they trust anyone else to further their interests for them, least of all people that are preventing them from advocating for those interests? That is a recipe for civil war, and that is the outcome I would most seek to avoid if I believed they were too powerful to be physically removed.

>but there is really no reason why they would not continue being racists

How many people are you talking about? Enough to influence the outcomes of a democratic government?

>Everywhere in the world and history where such a situation occurred, it happened with some amount of tension and suffering (ranging from economic inequality to holocaust).

What do you think that telling certain people that they can't advocate for their interests using the same means as everyone else is going to do to tensions?

>I think you're underestimating the amount of neonazis today. Not all of them are quite as on-the-nose with their logo as these guys, for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Dawn_(political_party)#....

A neo-nazi is not a Nazi, and only the dress-up types actually call themselves neo-nazis.
Sounds more like he wasn't reading far enough into it
In addition to setting up backups, there’s another step you should probably think about: make sure whatever credentials you are using to store those backups (if using an object storage service) are only allowed to add/append/upload and _not_ delete. I have seen attackers wiping backup locations a few times now, and it isn’t immediately obvious to people.

Sorry it happened to you, but it’s a good lesson learned. Better luck in the future.
Broken Captive Portal detection on older Androids
It seems like the captive portal detection on older smartphones is broken. During the last days, I had several (cheap) tablets and smartphones in my hands which showed an exclamation mark next to the WiFi flag indicator.
After some research, sniffing the phones wifi traffic with wireshark, I noticed several DNS resolutions for the domain "status.eqoe.cn". Searching for the domain yields not much results. However, checking the output of "adb logcat", I noticed an error message about not reaching said domain. This was the proof, the devices attempted to connect to that server, failed and assumed, there is no internet connection available.
It is unclear to me, why they use a server in China, known to be behind a solid firewall, for such an important check. Maybe the manufacturer expected the devices to be only sold in China and saw no problem with that. Or the server died recently and the owner does not now about the importance of it.
The fix was rather easy (given the previous research and input of a colleague of mine): Attempt to change the captive portal detection server to something reachable which produces a valid 204 response. Issuing one of these two commands configures the phone to either use a google server for such checks or disable the captive portal detection altogether.

adb shell settings put global captive_portal_server clients1.google.com
adb shell settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0

Lesson learned: Cheap is not always best. I really hope there are no other Chinese-Special features in these handsets.

Really? I'm not familiar with the terms so those platforms but does that mean you couldn't run your own delivery service as well as being on ubereats?.
I'm still unable to leave any code reviews, and occasionally I'm getting error pages.
On the topic of other languages taking over these tools, fundamentally it comes down to this: At the end of the day, these javascript tools (beyond just npm/yarn, which I think could be written in any language much more easily), like webpack, babel, or rollup etc., create very hard to replicate advanced ASTs. Even microsoft hasn't bothered to port typescript compilation to say, C# or F#, and I think largely because its a lot more complex to create the foundations for those languages to understand javascript on that kind of level.

You could argue (and I can see the validity of it, see the Closure Compiler for a counter example), that it can just as well be done, but it seems like its far easier to implement in JavaScript these kind of tools.
There's this paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/all.14238

"Low prevalence of smokers, and no allergic diseases despite of drug hypersensitivity and urticaria was self-reported by any patients, indicating that allergic diseases and smoking history may not be the susceptible factors for COVID-19."

And this one: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.05.20020107v...

"Together, this study indicates that smokers especially former smokers may be more susceptible to 2019-nCov and have infection paths different with non-smokers."

They reach opposite conclusions.

Depending on where you live you can get a flu shot at your local pharmacy. You just have to pay, unless you're over a certain age, then it's free... Again depending one where you live.

One issue may be the availability of flu shots at this point. Also there is a small risk of getting sick from the shot, which would put you at increased risk if contracting Covid-19.

I actually used the microSD to SD adapter before in my old Galaxy Note 3. Since the Note 3 had a removable back which you could use to access the both the battery and microSD card slot unlike most phones today, I replaced it with one normally used with a Zerolemon extended battery, and used it with a 512GB SD card since microSD cards did not come in sizes that large at the time.

It’s not 5% though. It’s more like 50-100%. I’d wager you’re in the minority and most people are not willing to pay a premium if they could avoid (or maybe even knew about it).

We're talking about whether he has to sit in a bulletproof box, or next to his lawyers like any other accused person.

If you look at it from the point of view of "am I going to die from corona virus?" then yes, the panic is overblown (for most people anyway). The real fear is that enough people are going to get sick and have to stay home (to eventually recover) that it will severely disrupt the world, ranging from economic markets to supply of food/drugs at grocery stores. I'm not necessarily saying I buy into that doomsday/prepper hype, but seeing news like Japan recommending school closures definitely makes me worry.

If you're up for it, I'd love to chat and see if Hasura could've worked in your case[1]! Especially on the read side, if we're able to model the authz with Hasura your API consumers get a rich read API "for free" and Hasura can delegate the CUD stuff to your existing REST APIs.

Hasura aside, GraphQL will save your API consumers time more than anything else. Like the other comment/reply to this, you still have to build a GraphQL server.

Wait that doesn't sound right. Unless H1B legislation changed drastically since I had one, you cannot change jobs "safely" on a H1B. You can change job if your new employer files a petition to hire you. This petition is almost always approved and not impacted by the CAP, but you need it to work for them.

Again, I'm not a lawyer and I was on this visa more than 10 years ago, so maybe a lot has changed since then. Can you link to official documentation explaining this?
This appears to be another "Indians are taking my job" thread, cleverly disguised as an attempt to help an underpaid colleague.
Note that the quote above is the background of the paper, not the conclusion, which states:

"The study found that, to certain extent, temperature could significant change COVID-19 transmission, and there might be a best temperature for the viral transmission, which may partly explain why it first broke out in Wuhan. It is suggested that countries and regions with a lower temperature in the world adopt the strictest control measures to prevent future reversal"

Nothing about SSPL bans them from contributing. But like the GPL, it requires contributing back. The idea that GPL is open source and SSPL is not seems logically incompatible.

I think you are correct, naive would have been a better word.

I was not trying to shame empathy, but I felt it would be cruel not to point out the difficulty of the situation. "Move fast and break things" does not apply when you have only one shot.

There are some situations (for example medical conditions) where a simple checklist approach can provide tremendous value. These are situations where most of the variables are fairly known, and none of the steps are likely to have bad consequences.

I don't think there is a good checklist unless someone has been in the exact position as the friend (same industry, same skill base, same visa, etc) and can come up with helpfull pointers.

I think you're referring specifically to the "political and cultural pressure in China" part of my original post. I was basing this on reporting from the New York Times [1] of the original outbreak. It very well might be that the reporting has improved since then, but I do think that there is evidence to say that there was manipulation of data, or at least a very strong incentive to under-report cases initially.

When I tried them a few weeks back to compare, Hasura provided a nice interface, but has a lot going on itself (managing relationships on its own, some Auth stuff on its own) and its own tooling. Postgraphile relies more on postgres, it embeds it’s configuration in comments (or external to the dB). Both had difficulties with complex relationships and introspection across schema boundaries (I want a schema to house my data, and views in a separate schema that are accessed by the API tool). Both felt like I could configure this problem away, hasura wanted me to use their interface to do it, postgraphile wanted me to learn magic comments to attach to tables/columns etc (again, to tell a view that the table it’s drawing from has a relationship with another table).

PostGrest has none of these problems, but/and no graphql. It’s where I landed.

Also, check out dbmate for agnostic rollback management. All it needs is a way to template the sql and I’ll be happier. Some folks using Postgrest use Alembic and SQL Alchemy to build/manage migrations—I’m not sure where I sit on that yet.

This is bad, but 'another seasonal flu' is not dominating the news day and night. Governments aren't preventing people from doing business with, and traveling to countries due to the seasonal flu. Seasonal flu isn't giving closet racists license to come out of the closet.

That's definitely not universal. I frequently see restaurants that have stickers for multiple delivery services.
Yes, but I also dislike copyleft for the same reasons. Personally, I draw a distinction between "open-source" software and the more restrictive and viral "Free Software" which Stallman argued for, but that's been argued ad nauseum.

My opinion is obviously far to one side of this debate, but you said that you had users who didn't like your license. People who feel that open source is important might see extra restrictions as extra liabilities.

Hey, did you ever hear about that time when IBM's lawyers had to ask for an exemption to a license which required that the software be "used for Good, not Evil"? :)

The new company can apply for an H1B without jeopardizing his existing visa status (current employer won't know). If it gets rejected, he can simply stay put and try for another job.
“H1B visa abuse does result in people getting fired and their visas dropped for asking for a raise. No one will say that outright, but other reasons can be found after someone disturbs a stable situation.”

I have never seen such a thing and never heard about it happening. I have only heard about people being afraid of it. But if your company really does this kind of stuff it’s time to look somewhere else. it will be a miserable with H-1 or without. And it’s very possible to change jobs H-1. Especially in big companies it’s not a big deal.

You can't fix this alone. You can't even lead by example and get results, because a sustainable lifestyle in terms of climate change essentially has you living under a bridge if you account for your share of infrastructure. Personal responsibility is just not going to be the solution, so we need to look elsewhere.

I need to clarify here that I agree with GP that taking personal action is empowering and can lead you down a virtuous path. I just think that the goal needs to be changing society, not changing your own life. So if you want to make a difference, you have to be part of society. You have to take part in the economy, even if that means you will personally directly contribute more to the problem than you would if you went full hermit in the woods. There's no simple solution, but if there is one at all, it has to involve a lot of people working together.

Rocket League CD Key Latest Version PC Game Free Download
As a former power user in SF I have to agree. Prices have doubled and quality has plummeted. Riders are making deliveries with other apps while they are “supposed” to be delivering mine (can’t blame them). Food is always cold and items are constantly missing. Aggressive tipping and feedback modals (especially for Postmates) are a big turn off - I always tried to tip generously in cash but they tried to force tips through the app for unscrupulous reasons.

The whole thing is just absurd. $25 for a cold $8 hamburger?

My own personal opinion is that the Great Recession and it's repercussions (inequality, deaths of despair, the hallowing out of middle American economies, the opioid crises, Flint water crises, etc) over last 10+ years have really ramped up a zeitgeist of inevitable doom. I don't really blame anyone in the Midwest for being full of doom and gloom, because for the most part that's all they have known for the last decade.

My other opinion is that more so than racism and actually believing Trump would make America great again, that most of the support that pushed Trump over the edge came from wanting to burn the whole thing down.
