I would never let a machine automate any decision regarding Trump's account, considering that any action would be scrutinized by the entire world and could have massive repercussions...

So definitely not "a counter incremented somewhere". This is a political decision.

E.g. the ultra wealthy can easily outbid hospitals for PPE.

Sure. Jeff Bezos could also purchase and set on fire entirety of this year's agricultural production of California. Will he? Unlikely, as he has no need for it. Same with PPE: if there are so few PPEs that the ultra wealthy can buy up all supply just to cover their needs, or even 10 times their needs, the hospitals are screwed either way, because 10 times the needs of ultra wealthy is a few days of needs of a single hospital.

Depends a lot on where you are. I went to public school and it was a solid education. Most of the kids in my extended family are getting a public education and they're doing fine, too.

I agree it could be better, and it some places it could be a lot better. But when compared with the alternative -- no public education at all -- you'll see why it's a necessary foundation to democracy.

What facts? What alt-right fringe?

Trump was voted in by tens of millions of Americans and still has tens of millions of supporters.

> At the top management level, they are probably weighing the possibility that he never leaves office (a plausible scenario at this point)

Trump is in his 70s...

What true beliefs are you hinting at here and why would they take courage to write down?
Hell, pulp paperbacks, probably the worst books for longevity, from 70 years ago are usually fine as long as they've only been gently read a low-single-digits number of times and haven't gotten wet/mildewy. They're often past yellowing and into browning at the edges, but they're fine for reading.

Hardcovers from the 19th century are pretty common. Tons of low-value ones (textbooks, fiction by at-the-time very popular authors who've been forgotten) floating around at a couple dollars a piece in flea markets here in the US, and I bet even older books are somewhat common in Europe. Lots by famous authors but of course those are usually more expensive. Most of those weren't finely-printed on modern archival paper or anything like that, and haven't been kept in archival conditions, but often have a few years of hard-reading life left in them (and much more well-shelved), so 150-200 years is a fairly easy age to achieve for gently-read hardbacks using cheap (but not the very cheapest) materials. Maybe more if you re-bind them once or twice, or they're very rarely read.

That's without even getting into really nice material and binding, or very expensive non-paper for the pages if you're very serious about keeping a book in good shape for centuries. Not even tape comes close—we don't have a really good archival format for digital stuff yet, let alone one that normal people may have a bunch of in their houses (like books). Maybe one of the several long-lived storage formats under development will take off one of these days and our digital storage will get a bit less risky. Right now it's pretty bad, only saved by being extremely cheap compared to other options.

Is there a statistically significant number of slim/fit/healthy people "in the west" getting T2D?

Because, like most things, genetics and environmental factors do play a part, even if it's a small part.

There was an article recently on the front page of a founder of an AI company finding out that he has cancer throughout his body and a massive blood clot next to his heart.

He was super fit and had a very low resting BP, and no previous signs of any of this. Complete surprise to him.

However, this is not the norm, and neither is otherwise healthy people suddenly waking up to find they have T2D. There is conclusive evidence that key factors (like weight gain, visceral fat etc) play in severely increasing the risk of T2D.

I understand and I'm opposed to things like fat shaming, especially in light of people actually having hormonal issues that they struggle to control. It makes no sense to point out these people as problem actors because they didn't bring it upon themselves.

But I know for a fact, witnessing myself how people gorge on junk food and massively sugary starbucks drinks around me, that no, a good portion of those fat people have no hormonal problems - they're fat because of terrible lifestyle choices, and put themselves at risk not just of T2D, but of every other problem from head to toe.

Half the country doesn't get declared "obese" because of some mysterious disease that is genetically passed on from their parents or grandparents. They get declared obese because mega corps en large advertise and sell them shit to eat from a very young age, and parents find it hard to eat healthy themselves.

Outside the US, I hear "looney left" and related terms used all the time by political moderates to describe any leftist groups outside the political mainstream, with a similar connotation to "alt-right", though it's a meaner phrase. It's derogatory towards them, but not towards the left in general.

When Max started building airflow Airbnb's engineering team was probably 80 or so people. The data engineering and data infrastructure teams couldn't have been more than ten combined. I'm not sure that's massive but it is the point where the previous solution (Chronos: https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/chronos-a-replacement-...) was starting to strain.

Airflow may not be necessary for a ten person team but it could be if that team has complicated data orchestration needs and doesn't want to incrementally replace their infrastructure every couple years.
This is not always true...

If you're an insider (i.e., involved in management or have access to non-public information), then you can't simply praise the company you own shares in if the praise would be fraudulent.

Similarly, if you're a short seller, you can't simply make negative shit up--your criticism of the company must be grounded in facts or information reasonably believed to be correct.
There’s two reasons why I eat this way. The first is that I think intermittent fasting is probably beneficial in terms of preventing too many calories, and I also seem to focus much better when I’m slightly hungry. The morning is when I get the bulk of my work that requires deep focus completed, and the few times I have eaten breakfast I’ve felt lethargic and unfocused afterward. The second reason is that I’ve really gotten into cooking, and dinner can take 3 hours (sometimes more) to prepare. Three meals a day is too much when one of them takes so much time.

"I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection." - MLK
So the police should be able to inflict horrible wounds without tactical benefit?
Exactly. It's not like people in those companies get nothing done. E.g., Microsoft got the product out the door. So any apparent incompetence at treating humans humanely is a choice.

When Trump leaves office he will be open to an enormous amount of investigation, litigation and prosecution. I don't know how probable it is that he tries to stay in office, but I don't think it is zero. Twitter planning around that possibility seems be less likely.

To draw anecdotally from my own experiences, its for two reasons:

1. It's simple to get started with, but complex enough to tweak to your needs in respect to simplicity of deployment, scaling and resource definition.

2. It's appealingly cloud-agnostic just at the time where multiple cloud providers are all becoming viable and competitive.

I think it's more #2 and #1; as always, timing is everything.

I'm not going to step into what is clearly an emotional argument for you, but I will say that downplaying what's going on in Minneapolis does not lend you any credibility. Social housing units, and hundreds of locally owned businesses have been rubbled and torched; and retailers have watched basically all of their inventory walk out the door (last time they bother setting up shop in this powder keg, seems Target was prettymuch expecting this to happen eventually).

One prominent case of this is Scores Sports Bar; there's video of the owner standing there powerless and crying, watching common crooks walk out with his life savings, all he earned working as a firefighter. You can see it set in on him when they come in right in front of him and start busting open the safe. After all this, he went to work the next day, at his day job as a firefighter, where he got a call that the bar had been torched to the ground. Now there's a GoFundMe, but he's never getting that time back.

So don't downplay what the rioters have done there, there are active warzones which are less rubbled and arsoned than this.
Frankly, if I knew during an emergency they’d have soda in stock, yes.
Probably depends on what you think of the intentions of the person. Some people think Trump is the devil and assume he means the worst-case thing when he says something, others look at it in other lights.

Previous US presidents were careful with their words, as they know people will interpret them in different ways if they aren't crystal clear. Trump just does stream-of-through -> keyboard -> twitter, and we get to see the results. Which tends to leave lots of what he says open to interpretation based on the perspective of the reader.

Might be high for first time indie dev
Coming to US from USSR/Russia where history is full of wars, i was initially stunned to learn that the barbaric hollow-points are ok in US. After some time here, i think one reason for that is that police here aren't really subject to the "relationship between violent actions and their consequences", plus the "dominant force" doctrine which has fear as a significant component, and the possibility of hollow-point dovetails to that like icing on the cake. In some sense that fear is the main tactical benefit.
Sure, I won't deny that it's a much more complex situation than my two sentences. But I'm not sure how "realignment unfolded across the next decade or two" contradicts the 60s civil rights actions "precipitating" that realignment.
No. You're using the same "if it's not perfect it's worthless" argumentation as GP.

It's not perfect, nothing is. But it makes better compromises than others.
Do the police not use high powered rifles? I’ve seen a lot of pictures of them with short barrelled carbines which I assume are firing 5.56?

Do the military not use pistol calibre weapons? There are frangible pistol rounds as well.

> Since assuming office in January 2017, Trump has made at least 27 references to staying in office beyond the constitutional limit of two terms. He often follows up with a remark indicating he is “joking,” “kidding,” or saying it to drive the “fake” news media “crazy.” Even if Trump thinks that he’s only “joking,” the comments fit a broader pattern that raises the prospect that Trump may not leave office quietly in the event he’s on the losing end of a very close election.
You read the part about it being a specific couple of species, right? So unless somebody comes up with a brilliant plan that targets specifically those species, and only in the parts of the world where they're not native, and nothing else, we're still risking the same kind of consequences as with DDT, or neonicotinoids. The kind we can't predict in advance are going to fuck us over.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the optimism inherent in a perspective on the world that says there's necessarily a technological solution to everything, and more than that, one that modern-day humans are certainly smart enough to find. I just wish it didn't so lend itself to hubris.
That kind of reasoning only works when all the things you need add up to roughly all the money you have. Otherwise, the rich person will say, "fuck it, I'll take 5", while countless of poor people won't be able to afford any.

Rationing and price fixing cause hoarding. People hoard because they fear not being able to buy something in the future, which happens with the shortages caused by rationing and price fixing.

For example, back in the 70's with price controls on gas, people hoarded gas. All that nonsense stopped literally overnight when Reagan repealed all gas and allocation controls.

> Your premise is wrong.

You are both right. However, in the article [1] a large number of police officers were either acquitted, are awaiting sentencing, or were not punished, what the general population would consider, fairly.

When we hear about police departments agreeing to settle - that does not give us, as a society, a closure. Individual police officers have committed crimes, but now the tax payers are paying for that? That's not accountability.

Like the previous commenter said, this only makes sense in normal times... in a temporary emergency, there is no time for anyone to ramp up production, so high prices don't last long enough to drive production.

Of course, whether this situation is an emergency of that sort or not is up for debate.
