For those interested in this sort of thing, James Hoffmann[0] has some really well presented videos about coffee, the making and iterating on, from the perspective of someone who's been working with and around coffee for a while (he was a world barista champion in 2007[1])

He's recently been making a series called Weird Coffee Science[2], where he looks at and tests scientific papers and weird ideas floating around.

Forgive my ignorance, I really didn't know all of that. I only my criticism of google for the reasons I stated, they have grown so much that they don't care about their users and their search quality has been deteriorating quite rapidly. In part it'snot their fault as an army of marketers found their way to play the game to push their products up in results but, it's not only that. Google has been acting more and more like a corporate monopoly, they're not what they were when they started for sure

>It's that people often take what elected officials say as truth without even considering that it might be false

I'll defend their right to be stupid.
I wondered about that too, and found https://github.com/capnmidnight/Calla/commit/abc851b49bd1801... before commenting which seemed to indicate that there's at least stereo positioning. It's possible I'm mistaken though.
Is there a way to give anonymously, such that I won't get spam from other charities who found out I gave to this one?

I don't know if the ACLU does that, but literally every other charity I've ever given to has, and I value my data more than that.
This is just the start. Landlords would be smart to work with tenants to share some of the loss and renegotiate temporary adjustments to keep at least some revenue coming in because the heady days of high demand for rental units is likely behind us for a while.

It'll be worse in downtown areas. I've heard from multiple firms that are looking at downsizing their expensive office space and continuing to allow employees to work from home. if a person doesn't have to work downtown they will often choose not to live there either.

COVID is going to change the face of urban real estate. So if you have a tenant, they're gold and do what you can to keep them.
Seems like an obvious business model. Sell OTC drugs at fractions of current prices and still make a large profit...

Nobody was ever advocating for indefinite or long-term lockdown policies. That's a strawman.
> provably false statements

Herein lies the rub. It’s extremely rare that a politician is tweeting about something so black-and-white that the tweet can be provably true or false. There is almost always a gray area between fact and opinion. In fact, people tend to vote for politicians because they agree with their interpretation and prioritization of a set of facts. So I think you’ll find the vast majority of political tweets reside in this gray area, because otherwise they wouldn’t be political in the first place.

And if “provably false” is the standard for editorializing, then Twitter picked a terrible example to set as the precedent. The tweet they “fact checked” was Trump making a prediction about the future. Namely, he was suggesting that mail-in ballots could lead to increased voter fraud. Not only is this an opinion, but it’s a projection about something that has not happened yet. By definition, it cannot be provably false.

> There is no reason to give elected officials a free pass.

> Apply the same standards to all.

I find these statements at odds. People can say what they want and it may or may not be inaccurate or misleading or accurate or truthful. Giving elected officials "a free pass" to do just that _is_ applying the same standard to all.

Elected officials have a microphone because of the political system and the endemic elevation of these regular, flawed, people to a status above the common man (same with police and a number of other power hierarchies in the USA).
To do a good programming job, is "skills" the most important factor? The blog seems to assume so, which leads to the confusion. Scientifically, when conclusion seems confusing or contradicting, challenge your assumption.

I think a very important factor in a good programming job is communication. It takes communication to convey requirement and expectation, it takes communication to understand requirement and expectation, and it takes communication to spot and clarify misunderstanding and confusion. Reviewing my own work, I think I am dealing with clarifying misunderstanding and confusion most of the time. It is rare I gave a code review and the author understand my comment spot on right away. There is always some misunderstanding and cross-talking. I think the issue is so bad that even within the same department where we can freely discuss face to face with a whiteboard, we often ended up avoiding touching controversial code, avoid refactoring, instead embracing add-on orthogonal patches, and only focusing the review on trivial stuff such as white spaces and test failures. Our software sucks because of this communication factor. In fact, I think the OOP prevails because it allows us to sidestep the communication to some extent (at the cost of bad code (but functional) ).

The communication factor dictates that we hire people within the culture, within the location, and within the education background -- regardless of the correlation to skills.
Many western countries had similar strongmen. Some even had a bona fide royalty class, lording over common people, and then their sons, and grandsons lording in turn...

That aside, modern Russia has tons of capitalists... Crony capitalism is still capitalism, and there are tons of proper companies there besides. Not everything is owned by some government-friendly mafioso. But when a regime collapses, like USSR did and there's a power vacuum that's what usually evolves for a while...
You have to give it to modern car tech though. This is how one would start Ford Model T: While out of the driver’s seat, the driver would need to pull the choke, located near the right front fender. At the same time, the driver had to turn the crank lever one-quarter turn clockwise to prime the carburetor. The crank lever was located beneath the radiator at the front of the auto. Next, the driver had to jump into the car, insert the key into the ignition, and turn it. Immediately, the driver had to move the timing stalk up and move the throttle stalk down to set the idle correctly. Pulling the hand brake back would place the car into neutral. The next step necessitated getting back out of the car to turn the hand crank a half-turn. This turn of the crank would actually start the engine.

(I do miss the ability to jump-start a car using a crank lever.)
I suspect not many people are buying trucks right now, used or not. It would be hard to sell. It may not be bright to buy a truck worth more than your annual income, but I don't think the situation can be entirely blamed on consumers. It's a systematic problem. Trucks like this are the only profitable sector left for US car dealerships, and they have gone to great lengths to get people on the hook for them. The result is pollution, dangerously large vehicles clogging roads, and consumers stuck in over their heads.

That Canon has far more features than I'd expect for a DSLR - thanks for sharing.

I'm also impressed by the 90D's Handheld Night Shot mode, where it can stitch a burst of shots together like my Pixel phone.

I find that mirrorless offers another advantage from its somewhat decreased weight (a result of mirrorless camera's decreased flange distance [1], for the curious): it's relatively easy to mount most DSLR-designed lenses to any mirrorless with inexpensive adapters.

In this case neither perpetrator nor victim of the fraud appear to be US entities, so your example of Russian cybercriminals victimizing Americans doesn't exactly apply. Unless the country requesting the extradition of said Russian from Canada is, dunno, Australia, for some unrelated beef they have, using the crime against Americans as a convenient excuse.
Yes, you got exactly what you wanted. Have a nice day!
Planned parenthood isn't an organization created to defend a constitutional amendment. It relies an a particular Amendment to provide some of it's services, but it's not a fair comparison.

I also wouldn't think poorly of the NRA for just it's change in how it donates to candidates if they weren't performing illegal coordination and also promoting Republicans candidates even if their opponent was aligned with their 2nd Amendment stance.

Police presence in schools is just a step into a strong regimentation of society IMO. And the 2nd Amendment is far too vague to be considered libertarian. We could debate all day over what the intent was, or how it can be interpreted.
You're equivocating the word "in". She allegedly committed something that is a crime in Canadian and US law, but she did not commit it in US jurisdiction, nor against a US entity. As such, there is no reason for her to be extradited to the US. I don't care that it was against the US, if it was outside of US jurisdiction then the US has no business prosecuting anyone.

Just because what she did is against US interests doesn't mean that the US has the right to judge her according to their own laws. That is entirely ridiculous.

As a Canadian citizen, I would feel that it would be 100% justified for her to be extradited to the jurisdiction in which she committed the alleged crime. But we aren't talking about this.
I know people who are skipping payments just to be in solidarity with people who can't pay. They see it as an act of protest not only of inequality generally but of the fact that no matter what happens the financial industry will get a limitless bailout at the expense of everything else. Not paying is a way of getting a piece of that bailout.

I agree with the latter point. We've seen in the past 10 years or so that the regular economy will be sacrificed to save the financial industry. This has resulted in a complete decoupling of the two. The regular economy can be in a state of total collapse and the stock market goes up.

(By "the financial industry" I mean top politically well connected banks, not necessarily smaller private equity or smaller financial institutions. Those will crash and burn and be sold off in fire sale prices to larger banks that get bailed out, just like 2008.)

If we ever have real leadership again, one of the tasks before that real leadership is going to be undoing the loss of integrity and trust created by the 2008 bailouts. Like the second Iraq war, people have yet to even grasp how much damage was done in those years.
There's a catch: the people doing most of the lying are the same that have worked for decades to destroy public education.
> can millions of Americans be helped by restarting the economy?

That's already happening. The current slow reopening is restarting the economy in order to help millions of Americans get back to work. For example, the jewelry store in my neighborhood in CA is now open, but for 1 customer at a time (OK in their case because even before the pandemic they controlled the number of people inside). However, the breakfast diner nearby with closely packed tables is still shut down. Even if they could open, the owner has to figure out how to run that business with appropriate social distancing.

An additional problem is that the economy was fragile even before the lockdown. Many employers likely won't rehire nearly as many people as they let go. Those who are still hiring have slowed down their hiring rate.

And until people feel safe consuming services and gathering in public like they did before, the main street economy can't recover fast enough to employ everyone who was laid off during the lockdown.

This is why government support for laid off workers must continue until enough confidence exists that things are safe, even without the lockdowns, and that might take years for some sectors of the economy.

In California for example, due to state-wide rent control, it's very dangerous for a landlord to lower rents. I would rather offer 6 months free rent than lock into permanent nonadjustable lower rent situation.
I suspect we will be told that the protests were necessary and for a greater good that outweighed spreading coronavirus, and now that they're over, we should all go back into lock down to prevent further spreading, and anything else is reckless and literally killing people.

you do understand why private individuals own the company and not the workers themselves right? In order for any productive venture to start that are three components, raw materials, labor and capital. Workers only provide labor. Workers may be able to provide raw materials, but that's ridiculously prohibitive to become a worker.

Similarly, you are wishing that the workers must also provide capital, but again it requires workers to have savings. Now obviously I know you don't think of these things like that, you just have a wishful desire that somehow the profits are distributed to the workers and not to some random individual. But the truth is this is the precise reason why the prophets go to the individual who supplied the production process with their savings (just supplying them with savings isn't enough that would only allow you to earn the original money plus interest, but in order to benefit from the profits you must undertake the risk associated with the productive process).

By separating the people who work in a company and the people who undertake the risk associated with the productive venture, you benefit everyone.

I imagine a huge cash crunch is coming up soon as deferred payments come home to roost.

We can’t continue kicking the can down the road forever. If people are over leveraged or insolvent we have to bear the pain eventually. It’s part of the credit cycle and it’s how savers get their foot in the door regarding asset ownership. Otherwise we will have basically embraced some absurd worst-of-both-worlds kind of socialism in which we bailout the people who are leveraged and over-exposed-to-risk at the expense of future generations and savers.

The Fed/Government can probably kick it down the road until November though.
Probably someone who actually looked into what QE actually does--it's more deflationary than inflationary. Look at Japan--they've been doing forms of QE for decades. These Fed printing money, inflation trolls are almost never right even though they've been screaming about it for decades.

>Can this virus even be controlled?

Absolutely, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Czech Republic have all succeeded in nearly wiping out the virus entirely. It absolutely is possible and giving up on wiping the virus out is disappointing, because it's been demonstrated to be possible.
That's the opposite of a smart appliance to be honest.

You can use minimodem[1] to scream a file across the room from one computers speakers to another computers modem.

It's a cute trick but requires very little in the way of computation, and is a far cry from the bluetooth infested dumpster fire that is found in the modern app-controlled smart appliance offering.

It's also not significantly an improvement from giving your products clearly labeled short model names and having a two digit code on a 10c LED screen, preferably with a corrosponding entry in the manual. I'd happily give it up in exchange for a washing machine with minimal electronics, so that it will last 20 years and can be fixed with duct tape and epoxy.

I don't think the policy will ever be black and white like that in terms of free speech. If that is the case no social media company will have any terms and conditions on their site, other than don't spam us. All of them will have the same free speech limitations that the country has.

For example will facebook be ok if the next democratic president says "we will stone carl if this post gets 10k upvotes" will it be ok? Lines are always drawn and they are always in he sand. Its just that FB decided that is where they want to draw that line. Everyone will have their own opinion on whether its good or not.

Oh really, how do you know this? Given the scale of protests over time, I bet it is likely someone has. And if someone hasn't already, someone eventually will. Saying something has never happened so therefore it won't happen is ridiculous.

This is completely different. Volkswagen directly lied to the US government. And even then, Germany refused extradition for very good reasons, they had to wait for him to go to the US.

This was someone allegedly defrauding an entity that is not American, let alone the US Government, outside of US jurisdiction, being deported to a jurisdiction in which they committed no crime. It is entirely ridiculous to equivocate the two cases.

I didn't name check it, but if you check my post history there's a reason I didn't call for an outright repeal of QI -- I don't yet know what the effect of that would be or what measures might replace it.

I'm all for removing QI (and outlawing indemnification of LEOs in employment contracts) and replacing QI with something like professional insurance, but from my understanding the problem isn't that "QI prevents cases from being brought to court", but that DAs don't actually bring cases to court which could beat the QI standard.

Also, in my understanding, QI is simply protection against civil actions, not criminal prosecution. To repeat - I think the core problem is more that DAs don't bring the cases, not that the law is insurmountably high.
