Um, "devil's advocate"? I didn't say anything about that.

But let's roll with it: "devil's advocate" is a phrase appropriate for the situation described in the original post ("let me hear your suggestion, I'll try to find any flaws or objections to it for the sake of debate"), so it has the correct context, whereas "I'll play the straight man to your suggestion" makes little sense outside comedy, and if the offended person had understood it, they could even have thought it meant "you're the person saying funny crazy things, I'm the sensible person hearing them".

> Metaphors are meant to be used out of context.

No. Let me reiterate: every form of human communication needs context in order to be effective. Metaphors must be deployed in context, otherwise they risk being misunderstood, as it happened in this case.

The context of a metaphor is NOT its literal interpretation. If you think that's what I'm saying, I apologize: that's not what I meant at all.

The context is a situation where the metaphor makes sense or applies. A situation where there's a contest and a "best" position is the right context for saying "I'm in pole position", though it doesn't have to be an actual race; a situation where this doesn't apply is not the right context.

US is 18th in deaths per capita.

(And falling.)

In a thread criticizing the US, it is odd that this simple fact isn't mentioned. Or, alternatively, the importance of the fact is minimized.

(Even more odd that the US per capita death from covid is less than U.K., Netherlands, France, Sweden, Denmark and many other countries whose health-care systems are routinely praised on this site.)
That's not how I read it. Odds are my bank isn't using local storage for that.
The US states are like EU nations. They only give up control of anything that passes their borders (and a few other things like the right to leave the union unilaterally).

As the US is much older than the EU, its economy has evolved so effectively everything passes a states border giving the federal government the right to control almost every aspect of life (except things explicitly barred from it).

However, the moment the federal government institutes a state by state lockdown, control immediately reverts back to the states since nothing crosses the borders any longer.
Why don't you let restic upload directly to backblaze? I am sure you know this is possible, just wondering on why you made that choice, not trying to be a smartass ;).
Last time I used piratebay, I saw a lot of porn and malware/scam ads. I had to find and install a torrent client. Then I had to make sure I was downloading a movie that had enough seeders. And then I couldn't watch the movie until (and if) the download finished.

When I use netflix, I have a much better experience.
If this lockdown works in stifling the current trajectory the looming concern then becomes, what's next? NZ can't open borders as it'll lead them right back to community spread. Remain closed to the outside world until they achieve plentiful vaccination?

You're the third person in this comment section to mention Fossil. I'd never heard of it, but I'm definitely going to check it out.
Sure!

The 2008 recession clobbered my IT company - most of our customers were in the construction field and many of them went bankrupt.

We did the right thing - we cut deep into the workforce to protect what we could and that was the right thing to do. The remaining employees were able to confidently work knowing that their job was secure.

But the act of cutting deeply, and laying off people I liked and admired cause me to want to act like a turtle and to not want to venture out.

In hindsight, I should have marketed and reached out to new potential customers because other IT support companies were going out of business left and right. I estimate that my timidity after the traumatic cuts cause my company four years of growth.

If I have to do it again, I will. But afterwards I'll act like it never happened - I'll keep growing the company.
Yes this too :)

Sure, and I'm not saying people do... I'm just saying that if one company decides to include a Snapdragon 865, then you heavily pressure other companies into including it. It's only when everyone collectively agrees to not include the latest that you see that happen.
One of the problems I have with MyFitnessPal (aside from the fact that I hate their UI) is that the nutrition information is not very robust beyond the basic calories, fat, etc. Unfortunately, they try to tell you more nutrition, like, say, potassium, but they don't tell you that the number is likely too low, because most of the food items don't record a value for potassium.

I recently wrote a free iOS app, Eight Brains Nutrition Diary [1] that queries the very comprehensive USDA database and displays nutrition values computed from the meals you input.

“94% of Republicans approve of his handling of the crisis”

That is incredible! Is that number real? If 94% is real:

Is this because of a trait of people that are Republican (a taught behaviour, or a self-selecting bias)?

Or maybe this reflects a trait of all Americans: maybe partisanship before sense? Or some underlying support for authority? A failure of media or social media?

Is this result something that could happen in any other country?

Edit: my comment is probably too political and off topic, but that number just freaks me out. Gotta love that BBC bias (at least it is predictable!)

I agree. The thing about economic deaths is they are silent and nebulous. See the opioid crisis as an example, or crime rates in areas with poverty and economic uncertainty. Or look at illnesses in impoverished regions, such as obesity and diabetes. Look at unemployed people without access to healthcare. Even suicides jumped after 2008. [1]

You actually can't assume that will be the case, based on longevity data from the Great Depression[1]. If Covid runs rampant and collapses the medical system the U.S. is facing anywhere between 500,000 to 10 million dead based on current understanding of the numbers[2].

I can't think of much you could do other than maybe something through TOR, but that comes with its own set of issues.

Your idea of running through a residential node is probably the best solution, I would suggest getting a couple of cheap routers that are compatible with DD-WRT then leave one at home or with a friend and travel with the other. That way you can connect your devices through wifi with no extra setup.
I have a router that I setup with HMA VPN about 5 years ago and it seems to get past most geoblocking schemes but I think that may be because the IP pool they put me in has not gotten burned yet or Im in a pool specifically assigned to legacy rather than new customers.
one thing that might help is this blog post I'm (slowly) putting together:

https://wattenberger.com/blog/react-and-d3

I've done a lot of work that uses d3 within a JS framework (React, Vue, Svelte, & Angular), and the key is to understand 1. how to create shapes in plain SVG, and 2. how to use the parts of d3 that don't do DOM manipulation. I've found the least-hacky way is to handle DOM manipulation with the framework, and use d3 for things like data manipulation, creating SVG path strings, creating scales to map from the data domain to the visual properties, etc.
Thanks, that looks really interesting!

I keep reading people talking about "freedom of assembly" and "freedom of movement" in the context of covid quarantines.
Freedom of assembly isn't about you meeting your friends for a beer at the park, and freedom of movement isn't about being able to leave your house and go to the pub.

Freedom of assembly is about your right to assemble with other people protest publicly. None of these "freedom of x" are absolute.

That's just a failure of your imagination, though. The world was not always as it is today, and it is not bound to be so in the future.
I don't think price would be very meaningful, since the price will be dependent on area. A major metropolitan area with a high cost of living will have higher prices, as will a small town that's 30 minutes from the nearest small city. And across countries, not only is there different tax rates, whether the tax is included in the price (US: no, Europe: yes, I believe), there is also the variation in exchange rate, which could be substantial. Then some stores may use the product as a loss leader, while others do not.

basically this same story was posted last week and i commented on that one as well.

i have a summer internship with FB and i reached out to both my recruiter and team lead. both said that it's still on but possibly WFH. from what i've heard Google isn't cancelling software internships (the cited cancellation is for UX design) and doing online onboarding and WFH at the discretion of the managers.

if you're in the same boat you should probably email your recruiter and your matched team lead.

You should just use the same tricks for images that you would use for binary files. Instead of doing a diff, and merging the bits and pieces of conflicting files, you want to select the version from the two branches that you want.

In a merge, select the desired version (eg `git checkout --theirs -- logo.png` for the version from the branch you're merging into the current branch or `git checkout --ours -- logo.png` for the version from the current branch), then add the file and complete a normal merge commit.

git merge foo
git checkout --theirs -- logo.png
git add logo.png
git commit -m "Merging foo into master"

Usually when there's an ongoing divisive story, follow-up posts get flagged by a coalition of (1) users who don't like the article because they favor the opposing view, and (2) users who are just fatigued by all the articles on the topic. In most cases the first group alone isn't enough to win the tug-of-war with upvotes.

Moderators sometimes turn off flags when an article is good and the discussion seems able to be substantive (enough). That's arguably the case here, so we'll try overriding the flags. (This is not an endorsement of the article.)
I'm just confused. How is syncing supposed to work?

1. I start a "watch party"
2. I give the link to friends.
3. They click the button "Open the movie and check for autostart."
4. The video opens. At the beginning. Not where the other people are at.

What is "Autostart"? You mention to "Open the movie directly and ask in the voice chat what time you should jump to". How is this different than just sharing the link to the video and pressing play at the same time or having them skip ahead. I don't understand.

Some interesting experiments on rat empathy from the article:

> "It all began with a study in which the rats refused to press a lever to obtain food when that lever also delivered a shock to a fellow rat in an adjacent cage. The rats would rather starve than witness a rat suffering. Follow-up studies found that rats would press a lever to lower a rat who was suspended from a harness; that they would refuse to walk down a path in a maze if it resulted in a shock delivered to another rat; and that rats who had been shocked themselves were less likely to allow other rats to be shocked, having been through the discomfort themselves. Rats care for one another."

> "In 2011, the issue of rats’ empathy resurfaced when a group of scientists found that rats will reliably free other rats who are trapped inside a tube. It was not that they were merely curious or wanted to play with the apparatus: if it was empty or contained a toy rat, they would tend to ignore it. And the tube wasn’t easy to open – it required effort and skill – so it seems that the rats really wanted to free their fellow rat."
