I think that's misunderstanding politics. The Democrats actually wanted to talk about adding a permanent, general laid sick leave benefit, but blame Republicans for it being unfeasible. This result gives the Democrats the best of both worlds - they earn more votes in November but don't actually have to figure out how to pay for such policies.
1. 3% is an annualized number.

2. The _entire_ economy is not shut down even in the hardest hit areas. In fact, most people are actually still working - from home.

3. Most countries are not in lockdown, or are only partially shut-down.
I remember once on a complex project a senior manager going "That may be what I asked for, but its not what I want" and in a startup I joined where the CEO was adamant that any feature he could think of could be implemented in less than 48 hours - and this was a video technology/devices startup not a web app!

I've made horrific technical mistakes at various points in my career - but at least it is possible to learn straightforward lessons from those. Learning about people - now that's a challenge!

much of rome's ancient history is "mythical" in that it the only historical evidence we have are the legends handed down from that time. many of them appear to be attempts to reconcile the status of the early republic with the foundational history of the village/town/location of rome.

I have found that as I get older it takes longer to find a job, but I don't think it's ageism. It's just that I have over 30 years of experience, and I want to be paid accordingly. But you see job postings for "senior software engineer", and they want 5 to 7 years of experience. If that's what you need, then I'm not your guy.

There are employers who understand why I'm worth more than the younger people, and who will pay for the experience. But there aren't as many.

Yes. My plan is for the image dumping facility to support tree-shaking and direct linking. I think tree-shaking by itself might produce reasonably-sized images, for my purposes at least. If not, the direct-linking would make Babel/Google Closure applicable.
But there isn't much value in people spending their lives driving delivery cars or bagging groceries either.

The point of UBI proposals is that there is enough total value in our national economies to meet everyone's basic needs— the question of where the money/value "comes from" is simple, it comes from taking it back from where it's been concentrated over decades of inadequate taxation.
I assume most LPRs aren't really in a position to have to think about being engaged with public policy, and the LPRs I tend to know work in a field that intersects a bit more with policy.

America for some reason now trusts politicians and bankers, it isn't working out.

We need to go back to not showing our cards on politics, who you vote for used to be secret and in invasion of privacy to know. Why do people put themselves in tribes and lose out on leverage? I can't tell you, it makes no sense.

I'd like us to go back to not saying who you vote for, being tough on bankers and politicians, and carry a big FDR/Teddy Roosevelt anti-trust sword to chop them down.

The market/economy is a garden, the struggling plants need help and the overgrowth needs to be harvested and trimmed back.

> The SBA had 3293 employees in 2015. They don't have the capacity to process all the applications either.

You glossed over the IRS which has the data on what people/companies pay. They know more than the banks.

IRS is used in FAFSA and it works great for getting student loans approved, then you select the servicer. Same should have happened here for the banks/small business. Once approved you go select your bank (servicer) that gets fess on free guaranteed money for the bank.

There are 30 million small businesses, 22 sole proprietors, and most are < 10 employees. There was nothing for these people, zero leverage, zero help. They make up 99% of America. America truly is a small business long tail.

> These companies are shut down at the moment. They don't have other money. If they did, I'm interested to see proof that they're just messing with accounting.

The point is they used this for a cheaper loan. They had access to other capital and assets for leverage, small businesses do not.

The companies that are on the public markets, many of them are, have direct access to more capital.

The problem with sandboxing is it only works for server processes with very narrow behaviors - it's completely unable to express broad ideas.

My file browser should be able to see my whole system - that's what I want it to do. But I really don't want it to scoop up a list of files on my system, and send it wholesale to a network address I didn't type in specifically, after some specific actions.

AFAIK no security mechanism anyone currently proposes properly captures this sort of intent: there isn't a firewall which defines what can be done with the actual bytes of data an application has picked up in those terms - when they're in memory.

Of course this is a huge challenge: proving that my file browser doesn't have a way to, without gating through a user system, transform my file list into any code paths which can send it via network traffic.

But it's what we desperately need.

> but is it really the responsibility of the department of agriculture to feed 380 million people?

Given that the primary goal of farming is to feed people, why not? USDA was created by President Lincoln and was critical to ensuring food distribution throughout the Great Depression. Which agency is better equipped to handle this responsibility than Ag?
Grocery stores are notorious for over-staffing and then giving people very few hours, treating them like crap and telling them they'll cut their hours further if they complain.

> By removing from power the corrupt officials who colluded with JPM and other large corporations to steal stimulus money from small businesses?

Bluntly, I think that this is a polyannaish idea. The best pop culture representation of how US politics works is the Simpsons one where Kang and Kodos ran for President. The choice presented to the American public is rarely a choice between a corrupt politician and a non-corrupt one. It's much more typically typically down to deciding which corrupt, power-hungry individual spews the platitudes, half-truths and lies that you think sound the nicest.

Yes, we should still vote. But voting is not a panacea. The real province of democracy is grassroots organizing. It's probably never enough, but the US Constitution and 200 years of supreme court decisions around it have (tacitly, if not explicitly) made it so that that's the only piece of real political leverage available to those of us who don't have enough money to purchase actual political influence.
It's not about the process taking less time (even though aiming to reduce that is a valid approach, which is usually tackled by using ssd/flash and not over-provisioning). It's much more about being able to handle a second disk failure during rebuild. With raid 5, if that happens, you are in a world of hurt (think 3k fees to send raid to data recovery place).

I've learnt all this the hard way.
Faster horses.
No shame in hating a job but it’s much easier to find a job while you have one. You can take your time and find the right fit instead of grabbing the first place that gives you an offer. A few years ago I found myself out of a job with quite a bit to savings and while I eventually found a job, the stress of not having one was real.

With that said, any other time I’d say go for it if you’re comfortable spending full time job searching, but during a pandemic... it’s going to be harder to find places hiring.
Because they are giving the corporate handouts to customers who are at the greatest risk of defaulting on loans to their own bank - that's their incentive.
I'm very skeptical of any state that outlaws what they label as pseudoscience or fake news. Odds are that means they're banning some of what I would consider pseudoscience and fake news but sometimes permitting or mandating what I would consider to be other kinds.

For example, imagine the US government as it exists today banning everything they call pseudoscience or fake news. Even if you say it's just "sensationalist stuff" and not political things, I wouldn't trust them to make either distinction.

Hopefully you see that "because since all news sources are government approved then there's no fake news to worry about" is essentially a verbatim line out of any dystopian novel. And with the added context of this article saying the state is refusing to allow Facebook to operate unless they censor posts that criticize the state, the allusion isn't even necessary, since the dystopian aspect is already so incredibly blatant.
GIF only allows 256 colors per frame, so not really lossless when it comes to photos/video that exceed that limit. I guess there are some hacks around this, but typically they're not used.
It's a Qt application in this case. IIRC, Qt draws controls itself, rather than relying on native platform controls.
I am exactly like this as well. Some days I am just in the mood to listen to 'old' music. Music I listened to growing up. Other days, I crave something new.

I find the same thing with foods as well. When I discover a new dish/restaurant I love, I will have it several times and relish in the new flavors/atmosphere. After a while, I still love and enjoy that dish/restaurant, but now the thrill has been replaced by a more comforting and familiar association with a fun night out.

Another example, growing up, I was only allowed to drink Coke when we ate out or went on picnics, or attended sporting events. As a result, as an adult, my brain made an association between drinking coke and having a good time.

> While the spelling is undecided, we intend something like: 1234X would result in an integer literal with the value 1234 represented in an _ExtInt(11), which is the smallest type capable of storing this value.

That “smallest type capable of storing this value” is a disappointing approach, IMHO. It’d be a lot more powerful to just be able to pass in bit patterns (base-2 literals) and have the resulting type match the lexical width of the literal. 0b0010X should have a bit-width of 4, not 2.

Possibly relevant quote from Stephen Hawking, Brief Answers to the Big Questions (talking about the early '60s):

"The prevailing attitude at Oxford at that time was very anti-work. You were supposed to be brilliant without effort, or to accept your limitations and get a fourth-class degree. I took this as an invitation to do very little. I’m not proud of this, I’m just describing my attitude at the time, shared by most of my fellow students."
This might be controversial but this is why I like Python a lot. It just allows me to think about the problem without wrangling with syntax.
Network protocols immediately came to mind for me. They love packed structs of weird bit sizes because anything that's not payload is overhead on every message for the rest of time. Fields can also be large, e.g. VLANs are 12 bits, VXLAN ids are 24 bits, MAC addresses are 48 bits, IPv6 addresses are 128 bits so it's not just limited to a couple of small sized bitflag style things.
Each Chili's if I remember correctly has about 150 people total. Pei Wei's tend to be around 50 or so. Those are the only two I vaguely recall being told by someone.
This is the key here, and what all these "masks don't work!" people seem to constantly miss somehow. No, masks are not 100% effective at filtration; any idiot can see that. They don't have to be 100% effective, they just need to be better than nothing, and that'll slow the spread of the disease. Keeping people from spewing germs 20 feet when they sneeze or cough is a big help in slowing this pandemic.

There's a reason masks have been commonplace in Asia for many years now: they're meant to protect society, not the wearer. When someone thinks they're sick in Japan, they're supposed to wear a mask to keep everyone else from getting sick: it's good manners. It only works when lots of people are doing the same thing.

Similarly, the cloth masks are actually called "surgical masks", because they're normally used in surgery. They have absolutely nothing to do with keeping the surgeon safe from the patient; they're in place to keep the patient, who has a huge gaping wound in his body, from being infected by droplets from the surgeon as the surgeon bends over the wound site, and is breathing and talking to other people.
In a recent thread somebody mentioned the My Analog Journal YouTube channel called and I've found so many great things through there. I had no idea that Japanese funk was a thing until listening to:

Yeah, writing was supported too. Absolutely was the harder part, since you have to worry about allocating new segments for your directories as your filesystem grows.

Ironically, looking at my code now, it seems like I never got around to actually writing file contents. I seem to have stopped after finishing the overall FAT16 filesystem structure traversal and mutation.

The SD card module was a little simpler, because I only really needed to implement flows for the commands involved in initialization and single-block reads and writes. The SD card presents a block-oriented storage interface, but it doesn’t really care what you’re storing otherwise.
I don't believe the github has the STL files or instructions on how to actually make the robot, just the API and simulations are open source.
A reproducible panic can easily take down your whole fleet of servers, so you'd end up with a one process per request model without planning for this.

Plus if a webserver handles more than one request in parallel (affects both multi-threaded and node.js style async designs), you want to finish handling all the other requests before shutting down gracefully.

In my experience with C# even exceptions caused by bugs/failed assertions (which would map to panics in rust) almost never cause issues which require a server restart. It's a bit worse in Rust, since a GC collects memory more reliably in case of errors than Rust (but even in Rust leaks should rarely happen on panic)

I'd say organisms are not so much vertical organized but homeostatic, the likes of cybernetic control of old cyberneticians. Like the brain doesn't say each cell what to do, cells share the environment, each signals their state, needs and reach to their local environment. In that sense you would share information (on production, on the state of the environment, on needs) and each local community would react in accord to move that shared environment towards homeostasis. But even organisms aren't perfect, think of your body, when you consume great amounts of carbs your body secrets insulin in a negative feedback and actually overshoots sending glucose levels bellow optimal which eventually fixes itself after several cicles of self correction.
So businesses are not a charity, but the US taxpayer is? Why do we keep sending money into the banking system with no strings attached? In 2008 as well as now, banks have collected billions of dollars with no strings attached, and engaged in fraud and corruption with no consequences.

Doctors are not working for free, no, but they also didn't just vacuum up 10B of cash meant for patients either. Only the banking system has the tenacity and lack of shame to do such a thing.

That is pure fantasy. If engineers cared about fb doing shady things, fb had already done enough to tilt the scales.
That wasn't the point of this. These businesses are labor heavy and suffered 80% revenue declines. Widening the acceptance (and it was the 72 exclusion not the 500 that mattered) allowed for unemployment to be substituted for loan dollars.

Your 50x50 example is also not relevant as there is a loan cap.
Building upon @m_ke's note, when you have the sentence embeddings indexed, you use query similarity with those sentences as an additional signal that can be used further. For example, you can weight sentences that appear earlier in the document higher, you can take the top N sentences and use those, you can apply clustering to find hotspots, etc.

I'd treat it as a base signal like BM25 for a field - which is frequently tuned and used as one of many features for relevance.
This makes sense. Banks have always treated top clients with priority. This goes with pretty much every business.
Yep, this is why you should call BS when tech companies claim to make product decisions based on data or customer feedback. Their north star is revenue and as long as that's trending up (because of the secular trend of creators needing better monetization), who cares about UX /s.

Well in that case that seems entirely philosophical, and entirely out of place with the other two claims, which can actually have results.

But you do seem to be arguing for the theory as well.
For what I support and consume, it's actually less. Personally, I'm happy just using Patreon as a way to pay the creators and consume their content elsewhere.

Some of the people I support make videos, and while they release them early on Patreon itself, they always eventually make it to YouTube. No matter what investment Patreon makes, it will never be as good as YouTube for watching videos. I could watch these videos early on Patreon, but I don't. Not because Patreon's video watching is bad (although it is), but because YouTube is the best platform for watching these kinds of videos. The same thing applies to podcasts (but with different apps, of course).
