The touchscreen frees you from the complexity that comes with giving switches alternative modes, and gives you the mass to have multiple copies of critical switches. Also multimode switches greatly increase the complexity and failure modes, so they need to be done so that if a switch is triggered in the wrong mode its recoverable (eg: the switch for aux radio power isn’t also the undock switch).

When you get to the point of having displays for the switches why not go full touchscreen and eliminate all of that cost and complexity of a bunch of tiny displays?

Agreed drug war is a total failure, policy-wise. Where is the middle ground between criminalizing everything and legalizing everything? Real lives are destroyed by drug abuse and particularly with regards to meth, fentanyl, etc it kills people. I can't imagine a world where we sell these things over the counter. Would that help or hurt communities?
In the US, we have currently about 40+ million people unemployed, and trillion+ dollars of stimulus. That's 1 in 4 workers. Many more have pay cuts, demotions, or other economic harm. Kids are learning a lot less with school shutdowns (many are learning nothing), which has more economic impact down-the-line. R&D isn't in great shape either in many industries, cutting into the US' technological edge.

That's not to mention secondary effects, such as how that level of unemployment feeds into anxiety which inflames the current riots.

You can work the numbers however you like, but the number I gave is VERY conservative. The economic harm of COVID19 is astronomical here.

Much of that could have been mitigated with good policy, but in the US, it wasn't.

If a public health measure has even a slim chance of e.g. shortening the need for lockdowns by a few days, and costs several times more what vitamin D pills do, it's already economically worthwhile. The cost-benefit here (and in many other measures of possible benefit) is so incredibly ridiculously obvious that it's not even funny.
The government could start by removing hurdles to build. The amount of hassle one has to go through in California in order to build housing is staggering.

Attract crime? Section 8 neighborhoods are like gated communities for poor people except instead of gates they have excessive police presence, few opportunities, overpriced essential goods, poor access to banking but usually several check cashing shops and payday lenders, minimum wage jobs or worse, bad schools.

Section 8 neighborhoods are a dumping ground for the people and families society deems undeserving.
An aside, but I wonder if the political messiness of low wages is already encouraging this.
Be careful not to swing too far the other way and assume that a flat positivity rate implies a flat actual infection rate. As states increase testing capacity, lower risk individuals will start to become part of the testing pool (e.g. those without severe symptoms, those with only fleeting contact with someone infected, those with no connection at all as part of a disease surveillance measure, etc.). Thus a flat testing positivity rate can very well coexist alongside an actual increase in rate of infection, and given the aforementioned factors we might even infer the latter given the former.
The original data is probably from SEC disclosures, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.

I don't know what part of Australia you're in, but literally every cop I've ever encountered here carries a firearm.

They also have a pretty decent rep for brutality themselves, particularly if you're indigenous.

So you are presenting a very misleading view.
Meanwhile stock market is preparing to for its record high :).
>I find it surprising that these relatively well known issues aren't even considered topics for public discussion.

Because they're all considered "leftist" if not "socialist" politics now, and the Overton window of acceptable discussion in the US has moved very far to the right over the last four years.
Just to correct you on firearms. Police officers in Australia are generally issues firearms (semi-automatic pistols).

Where were you shopping, and were you looking at "Generics" or fancy name brands? You also pay a premium if you don't buy in bulk. Getting 10x more drugs sometimes only costs 50% more.

The prices you listed are definitely not normal— last time I bought Ibuprofen I think it was 2¢ per pill, although that was on sale. According to their website, the CVS by me is charging 5¢ per pill right now.

If it's prescribed, you can try to get insurance to pay for OTC meds. You can also pay for them with pre-tax dollars. Sometimes there's also prescription versions of OTC meds. I've been offered a prescription for 800mg ibuprofen but didn't bother.
I don't. Whether or not you agree with this gross oversimplification is going to depend on your worldview, your experience and whether you feel disenfranchised by the system. It has nuggets of truth - the police do step in to handle violent criminals - but this assessment is largely a subjective interpretation.
It's a list of "Top 10 most highly cited retracted papers", not "Top 10 most highly cited papers". Without more information about highly cited papers in general (e.g. what proportion are in the Lancet?), we can't tell exactly how concerning 3 being from the Lancet should be.
This Costco brand formula is about the cheapest you'll find in the US [0]. It's 5kg for $82 (or about $13 for 800g).

So basically the cheapest we have is a little less than your average.

Our cow milk is sold by the gallon (3.72L) and is about $4, so about the same ratio.

The lambda design team knew this was a pain point, and considered some designs that could've alleviated the problem (http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/lambda-dev/2010-June/...). I think they decided it wouldn't work well, but it's at least possible to do things here.

That said, I think the decision to do lambdas the way they did tacitly killed checked exceptions.
It's really easy to hand wave away all the inflation when you change the formula. They have so many "soft" factors they use and completely subjective ones that the reported inflation is in no way matched real world inflation. They only changed the way it was calculated because the national deficit was getting out of control. GDP is, simply, growth - inflation. If you can make inflation look lower you can make GDP look higher.
I somehow cannot believe that nobody had mentioned the first significant instance of similar crash at least for the DOS days: Borland's CRT.TPx/conio.a which consistently caused division by zero on anything faster than Pentium MMX. At the time the wisdom was that anything over 200MHz is too fast, but in reality anything AMD with "Pentium Rating" over 200 was fast enough to cause consistent crashes and 266Mhz Pentium MMX was slow enough that it mostly worked (and anything i686 consistently crashes).

i learned about OS/2 from the 'Doing Windows' series. really recommend it, it's a great read about the history behind all this stuff, the computing landscape of that period, and why OS/2 was a huge achievement.

what happens if you crash it first it or ding it up or run it as an uber and have lots of trash passengers? you're talking about leases vehicles which already exist.
That's good to know; you should put that information on the web site. Especially the part about the business model.

Another thing I'd like to know before considering downloading the app is system requirements. A lot of people aren't on the latest version of Windows/MacOS yet.
Was that the feature that would occasionally replace your desktop background with an error message?
My simplified understanding is that this is what REITs are for. They're an investment vehicle for companies looking to build real estate they don't have the capital for. They raise through a REIT and you wind up with a dividend of some kind out of what they make from tenants. It minimizes the risk for a general investor.

Disclaimer: I know very little about them, this is not a recommendation I probably have some details wrong, just something I've seen floated around.

> Nothing is doubling every week anymore

Exponential growth of the disease isn't tied to an arbitrary "week" timeline. It's delayed because of a 0.25 - 4.0 weeks. Different environment and behaviors will cause it to spread at different time intervals (not just a different number of recipients per spreader).

> Daily deaths across pretty much all nations are decreasing even as lockdowns are removed.

And COVID death doesn't happen within days of new exposure. It's delayed 3.5 - 5+ weeks after exposure and the people most likely to die aren't the ones walking around in public on the first day of end of SiP.

If there is a law against Google collecting analytics data, then it's going to be illegal whether in incognito mode or not. That would be the situation with trespassing. There's a law against it.

But there is no such law against collecting browsing data. So there has to be some other legal theory under which Google would be liable. One example would be deceptive practices or fraud, where Google says one thing then does another. Unfortunately, we don't have the full text of the complaint yet as far as I can tell. But your "that's not how the law works" dismissal is actually going to be totally irrelevant to the complaint, because there's no legal comparison between trespassing and collecting browsing data.
It's a bad point.

Why is it more ethical to outsource low paying work to vendors to get it off payroll?
That's not a proposal for a law. I'm not arguing about how the law ought to work. For better or worse, that's a description of how the legal system in the US works RIGHT NOW.

And yes, it does enrich a lot of lawyers.

Look up the CFAA cases, for a great set of example of how these laws can explode in this exact domain -- people charged with digital trespass who bypassed no or minimal technical measures. And it doesn't feel good either in most of those cases.

To be frank, though, if this gets applied to Google, it will feel pretty good.
The key point here is that we want to package things in a distro-independent way. In our distro-independent package there is no store and hence on nixOS it won't run.

Note that the way we do things is not unique - Firefox has been packaged this way by the Mozilla Foundation for years. We consider ourselves closer to a "traditional ISV" than merely the provider of source code to the open source community (though obviously, we play the latter roll too).

We don't have the resources to spend on a nixOS-specific package, nor the desire. Fortunately, of course, nixOS users can create suitable packages for nixOS, and I think they are.

It just says something that out of the myriad flavors of Linux, nixOS is the only one that has broken this rather old concept for packaging software from ISVs.

But please, carry on! Seems interesting enough.
Yes. Generally speaking, the expected value of any encounter with police is negative. They generally won't help you (although they may call someone who can help), but they might give you a hard time. The most common "good interaction" is one where they show up, insinuate that they could make trouble, and decide not to.

It's slightly better in very small towns where everyone knows everyone and e.g. the chief's kids go to school with your kids
I don't think this is the case, unless the platform is run by the government. The First Amendment applies to restrictions on free speech by the government, and is not related to the actions of private enterprises.
Maybe there’s a legal path to meth but you can literally die from touching a small dose of fentanyl if you haven’t built a tolerance. Very dangerous for that to exist in a legal setting.

Compare to national or worldwide median wage.
If you are only comparing number of details of photos made in standard conditions you are missing the point of a large sensor camera.

Actually, literally ANY camera can be used to make good photos. Cameras have sets of conditions they are good to work with. Smartphones, for examples, shine when you want really deep depth of field at standard lighting conditions.

As long as you know what the camera is good for it is possible for you to focus on the specific conditions and get nice pictures.

DSLR will allow for more freedom in the choice of conditions you can work with and still get good pictures and that is the whole point of using it.
And how does the CEO salary hurt the standard employee? Most of the S&P 500 companies employ around 100k of people. dividing $20M salary equally between them would give each of them $16.6 per month.

A lot of companies with <$15k median pay as well. Seeing as US federal minimum wage is ~$15k (higher than that in more than half of states) and there are companies listed with even <$10k median pay, either part-time or outsourced workers are being included, neither of which seems like a fair comparison to make.
>How is a 34% increase not statistically significant?

Because going from a daily death rate of 0.00017% to 0.00022% is still such a very small number, what might be called statistical noise.

>You could argue de-platforming is a violation of the first

There's literally no way you can read the 1st amendment and think it should apply to non government entities. It specifically mentions congress only.

>and amend accordingly.

The chances of getting such amendment passed is approximately zero.
Why don't you think it's fair? Legit ask, not a snipe.
I find this silly. It acts as if people are incapable of assessing situations and then selecting the best action based on that situation.

Yes, police have the authority to use violence; that doesn't necessarily mean they have to have some sort of essence of violence that drives them to be violent all the time. Indeed, police in many situations do successfully negotiate situations without employing violence. So, clearly resolving situations peacefully is possible even while maintaining the capability of violence; just, often the police have no particular incentive to do so.

Indeed, you can look at the military; soldiers are also violence workers, and yet they seem to be much better at not being violent than the police are, staying disciplined and not firing until the rules of engagement allow them to, where the police seem to often start shooting as soon as they get a bit scared.

The problem is there's hardly any accountability; the feedback loop is horribly broken. A police offer's incentive ought be to employ violence precisely and only when it is called for. To, y'know, correctly use their judgment to discern in the moment what action is most appropriate. It is far from impossible! But since there's minimal accountability for police, well, that's not what happens.
This is backwards of how I think about it, so I'm curious what you're thinking.

If an implementation of an interface can throw an exception that its interface doesn't declare, that breaks the abstraction. How can you safely use the interface? You either have to catch Exception (which is effectively the same as wrapping every exception in some InterfaceException class), or give up on handling any Exceptions thrown by the interface.

I would blame the science media to some degree. I don't expect the New York Times to recognize the problems with these papers, but I've seen several examples of science journalists treating these studies as having the final say. This includes Science magazine, one of the premier science journals.

The issue of bring Trump into this is tougher. I'm not an American, and don't follow his speeches. I've seen many articles start out with "the drug that Trump irresponsibly hyped up has been proven not to work". To me, it feels like Trump is their main focus instead of the science. Now, if Trump has repeatedly hyped this drug I think that it would be reasonable. Is that the case, or is it the case that the media continue to bring up something he said weeks ago?

Typically insurance payment doesn't cover everything. You will almost always be at some loss, often much greater than year worth of rent. Also, I'd suspect your future premium rates would rise given insurance companies will see increased risk due to your history of getting bad tenants.
Big surprise to me is Broadcom paying median $354k.

Second biggest surprise is Valero. I imagine they contract out most of the work, so have few employees. (Correction welcome.)

Alphabet at $259k seems high. I wonder if the median includes any actual Google/Youtube/etc. employees, or only Alphabet management.
Yes, I believe the discussion is to update Section 230 to make those distinctions as the law was created in 1996 to protect bulletin boards, not the social media giants we have today.

It's a discussion we should all want to have to preserve our freedom of speech from being infringed on by these (very very few) social media companies.

I don't think anyone is arguing they don't currently have these powers, it's whether they should and whether they've been abusing them.
