Price gouging is accepted normally. It's just temporarily prohibited for the duration of an emergency for the products related to that emergency.

Most emergencies are sufficiently short-term that they don't meaningfully reduce incentives for new producers to enter a market, because there's no time to adapt. E.g. an hour before a hurricane strikes, the price of water bottles and gas won't motivate new producers to enter a market, but there's a social interest to keep these prices stable.

The main problem here is a prolonged "emergency with default rules" that's happening now, because the default rules are targeted at short emergenices. It's reasonable to announce an emergency now and figure out the details later; but now it's been many months and the "later" should have already arrived with specific "pandemic laws" replacing the generic emergency laws, but that's been problematic in many areas.

In my gap semester between High School and College, I worked at a retail software store in the mall (yeah, we used to sell software in boxes at the mall!).

Since I was the only one on staff who didn't have school in the morning, I always got stuck with the crappy morning shift. Which means I had to clean the store and restock and reprice all the shelves, and I barely got time with customers, which was actually the fun part.

But there was one shining star in that morning shift -- that's when all the reps came in to talk to the manager about which software would be on the prime shelves, and handed out free copies for the staff so we could play the games and then talk them up to the customers.

The Microprose rep was always awesome. They would bring a bunch of copies of the games for us to play and keep, and they had the rights to the coolest properties (Star Trek, Magic the Gathering, etc).

That job sucked but I think I still have some of those free games in a box somewhere.

Destroying every member of a specific species is ridiculous. In the next couple decades we'll solve the majority of the illnesses that these things cause and we can roll out the cures around the world without the permanent damage to these ecosystems.

I also lived for a time as a child in Manitoba and my grandfather got live altering malaria, so I don't share any love for these insects but we're part of something bigger and just because the west drained entire swamps doesn't mean I support that or that it validates making a species extinct on purpose.
I'm curious; why do you feel HTML tables are bad?
Quite clearly the question implied "all other things being equal" or "all other factors aside", "what would you do?".

It's funny. I went out of my way to de-politicize the question in order to further the discussion and you promptly re-politicized it in order to muddy it. I suspect it's because you know exactly what I'm getting at. You've avoided the core question no less than 3 times already.

I'll try one more time. Please resist the temptation to play word games or make it political:

If Twitter has limited fact-checking capabilities is it not correct — regardless of politics — to direct those resources where they are more effective?

Therefore (again, regardless of politics), Twitter's actions follow perfectly reasonable logic: that Trump's Tweets would face more scrutiny than say, mine.

Thus, your claim that "the rules are being enforced selectively" can easily be accounted for by Occams Razor: It makes perfect sense that more visible accounts face more scrutiny. It would be highly illogical for Twitter to do otherwise.

It depends. And the problem that people have is that social media companies want to be both publishers and platforms.

For example, T-Mobile is a platform. They aren't responsible for anything you say when on the phone, using their network.

CNN is a publisher. They are responsible for anything that gets posted on their website, and can get sued accordingly.

Social media companies want to choose what is posted on their website, but also not be held responsible for anything that is posted on their website. They want the perks of being a publisher, and the perks of being a platform.

Obviously there are arguments made on both sides. But that is the general disagreement, if I understand correctly.
> I think social media companies should treated more like utilities

I don't think that's a good, or even workable solution. Social media companies are not public utilities.
Fwiw, they are trying to identify a provocateur involved in the start of the riots.

Well this is what we get for not listening. If your family and friends were being executed constantly you'd give up and rage too. Everyone has a breaking point - republicans were about to riot over wearing a mask to protect their families; these people are rioting over being murdered and ignored.

Disproportionate and inconsistent application are also a huge issue here - where were the drones when domestic terrorists took over the statehouse? If this technology is only going to be used against black people, then yes, it an incredibly dangerous thing

I've noticed that Apple has started releasing Darwin sources more often. This is a really huge improvement for security research, since it lets outside researchers see the mitigations and fixes that Apple made to kernel security vulnerabilities quicker. This way, incomplete or otherwise incorrect fixes can be reported to Apple before that kernel version has been in the wild for a long time.

GPT-2 came out about a year and a quarter ago. GPT came out less than a year before. If we take another commenter's estimate of $3.6M, and a new model comes out every year or so, then you could say just training is like $3.6M per year. That should cover a pretty large number of teenagers. Hell, that would cover a whole early stage startup in san francisco, including office space.

Here's the relevant bit:

> "Wait," people ask, "how is it not manipulation to short a stock and then publicly announce that the stock is bad?" I am always confused by this complaint. Just flip it around: It's not manipulation, surely, to own a stock and then publicly announce that the stock is good. That's like half of financial television. It is also a big chunk of what corporate chief executive officers -- who all own their companies' stocks -- do. It's fine to short a stock and trash the company, or buy a stock and praise the company -- as long as, in each case, you're telling the truth.
This alienation is what will cause more and more problems for society. It used to be nobility that had no idea of the lives of regular people. Now it’s the managerial and investor class who are losing touch with the rest of society by contracting out things, offshoring and reducing everything to simple numbers.

What difference would it make if Twitter was run by a conservative or a democrat as long as they were not meddling with the content? And if they are meddling the content, do you not think that this very dangerous given their dominance as a medium of speech? Just run the thought experiment, imagine that Twitter's leadership held political positions you abhorred and was free to boost or suppress speech, what Dorsey calls the "global conversation", in order to advance those politics. Does that sound OK to you?

FDA:

>”Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine:

- should be used for COVID-19 only when patients can be appropriately monitored in the hospital as required by the EUA or are enrolled in a clinical trial with appropriate screening and monitoring. FDA is reviewing the safety of their use when used outside of the setting of hospitalized patients for whom use was authorized.
have not been shown to be safe and effective for treating or preventing COVID-19.
are being studied in clinical trials for COVID-19, and FDA authorized their temporary use during the COVID-19 pandemic under limited circumstances through the EUA, and not through regular FDA approval.

- being used under the EUA when supplied from the Strategic National Stockpile, the national repository of critical medical supplies to be used during public health emergencies.
can cause abnormal heart rhythms such as QT interval prolongation
can cause dangerously rapid heart rate called ventricular tachycardia.

- pose risks that may increase when these medicines are combined with other medicines known to prolong the QT interval, including the antibiotic azithromycin, which is also being used in some COVID-19 patients without FDA approval for this condition.

- should be used with caution in Patients who also have other health issues such as heart and kidney disease, who are likely to be at increased risk of these heart problems when receiving these medicines.”

>“Be aware that hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine can:

- cause QT prolongation

- increase the risk of QT prolongation in patients with renal insufficiency or failure

- increase insulin levels and insulin action causing increased risk of severe hypoglycemia

- cause hemolysis in patients with Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency

- interact with other medicines that cause QT prolongation even after discontinuing the medicines due to their long half-lives of approximately 30-60 days”

Do you have any issue with reporting the fact of and details of the surveillance?
FTA: "Unarmed Predator drones were first used within the United States in 2012, when the Department of Homeland Security flew one over the property of a cattle farmer named Rodney Brossart to surveil him, and to help end a 16-hour standoff between him and another rancher over a stolen-cattle dispute. The use was highly controversial at the time; since then, CBP has used drones hundreds of times, and has not kept very good records about their use."

That strikes me as a highly unexpected and odd situation to be the catalyst for "OK'ing" use within US.

> People aren't rioting because they want to destroy things, they're rioting because they don't feel like they're being heard.

That's not why people are looting liquor stores and target. Some people are just destroying things, there's always those groups of people in every riot. Sometimes people even travel to the riot just for the chance at destroying things.
That's incredible and just shows how stupid this directive was. In my opinion it destroyed the user privacy and user experience: the average user now clicks "accept" as soon as he visits a site. This made it easy to fool non-technical users to subscribe to push notifications, give access to location and other privacy-invading features. I used the phone of my sister for a few minutes and her notification center was bombarded with random push notifications froms sites he visited and to which she unknowingly subscribed to.
Sure! I know most people who have been through the experience of being a contractor are well-aware, but not everyone has had that experience and not everyone one of the 2000 unfortunate people will have clearly understood the risks before accepting the offer. Some may have even expected to be eventually hired due to unscrupulous recruiters. The tech recruiting industry is rife with shysters.

You seem like you may have been burned in the past and I think setting clear expectations up front can help. We used to tell our contracting candidates "The full-time staff will judge you differently than they judge one of their own so be prepared to dress better, work harder and be recognized for it less." But lots of people already understood that and there were plenty that really preferred the flexibility and variety of contracts and felt bored and trapped as FTE. People can have different life priorities than we do.

I think my agency was one of the good ones, but it was still rare that I was offering someone a clear career boost instead of a placeholder or a way to pay the bills. But bills need paying too. We used to be explicit about that and tell our contractors to keep looking for full-time work and treat the contract as a gap-fill and that we would cheer them on and gladly serve as a reference if they found better work. Our idea was that contractors who find dream jobs turn into eventual hiring managers who remember that we were honest.

And I see a vibrant discussion of language and rhetorics below:) I do want to clarify that I meant the position is disposable and that you are a second class citizen in the context of the first class FTEs. If anything in this situation feels dehumanizing it's due to the modern corporate philosophy of labor as resource. I'm out of recruiting now and my mental health and perception of self-worth are much improved for the change.
No, it is not illegal, nor is it market manipulation. Nor is it illegal to report positively on companies you're long on.

iirc it's the equally poorly named Reaper drone that is armed and the one to be worried about. The predator drone is basically an R/C police helicopter.

However, people have been freaked out about aerial surveillance for decades. It gets the clicks.

1. Managed, Cloud Composer. Cloud Composer is getting there. It feels much less buggy then just 8 months ago when I started using it, and it is improving rather quickly.

One downside with Composer, though, is that it must be run in its own GKE cluster, and it deploys the Airflow UI to App Engine. These two things can make it a bit of a pain to use alongside infrastructure deployed into another GKE cluster if you need the two to interact.

I would probably still recommend Composer over deploying your own Airflow into GKE, as having it managed is nice.

2. Freedom. For some tasks we run containers in GKE, for other we use things like the PythonOperator or PostgresOperator.

A note here: Using containers with Airflow is not trivial. In addition to needing some CI process to manage image building/deployment, having the ability to develop and test DAGs locally takes some extra work. I would only recommend it if you are already invested in containers and are willing to devote the time to ops to get it all working.

3. X-com is useful for small amounts of data, like if one task needs to pass a file path, IDs, or other parameters to a downstream task. For everything else have a task write its output to something like S3 or a database that another task will read from.

All in all, I would say use Airflow if you need the visibility and dependency management. Don't use it if you could get away with something like cron and some scripts or a simple pool of celery workers.

Also, don't use it if your workflows are highly dynamic. For example, if you have a situation where you need to run a task to get a list of things, then span x downstream tasks based on the contents of the list. Airflow wants the shape of the DAG to be defined before it is run.

Hope that helps.

Depends on what you want to do. For hash tables and macs there is siphash. There is also Chaskey (although this is optimised for embedded systems I think).
The 1st Amendment does not apply to private platforms, except perhaps if Twitter was denying access on protected attributes (race, gender, etc).

Anyone can be sued for any reason. It is extremely unlikely a suit against Twitter for moderation will succeed. In theory they have the legal ability to remove all GOP politicians, knitters, or fast food companies from their platform.

The newest Executive Order about Section 230 means the FTC can enforce anytime Twitter doesn’t follow their own stated policies. So Twitter will just adjust their policies to give themselves more latitude. Even this is legally murky and will take years to be resolved in court.
Shooting could refer to guns use by the looters. It could refer to self defense of police attacked by looters. It could simply be a word to symbolize violence of any kind. And there are many more interpretations.

But discussion about it isn't possible, sorry. I am heavily downvoted for not following groupthink, so I am rate limited when it comes to posting.

Oh well.

Why aren't people over there more upset about those reporters getting arrested by state police on the street? That was pretty f'ed up. But I guess when it can't be blamed on Trump, people over there just don't care.

"Criminals," yes. Likely some form of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARGUS-IS
perhaps there aren't two sides.. that there is a genuine third form: the publisher-platform -- one which best describes both how these platforms do operate, and how they should do so.

When you have billions of users wanting to post content you can hardly be a publisher in any traditional sense; nor will the gov./society/users let you be a platform.
First of all, look up the Posse Comitatus Act.

Next, the 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments to the United States constitution. Telling armed forces to shoot unarmed people because they happen to be looting (e.g. when there is no imminent threat to life) is summary execution and unconstitutional.
