>I couldn't imagine someone being against a police Union and also supporting civilian unions. They serve the same purpose.

My local electrician's union doesn't have dispensation from the state to utilize lethal force on me or my family. Also, if I'm wronged by an electrician in the course of their work, I can expect a fair result from the justice system. The stakes are different.

>So you acknowledge that it's difficult, terrifying, unpopular and requires great reasonability, but offer nothing for a solution.

You never asked for a solution. Your comment stated that the solution was to join the force; I merely pointed out that your solution doesn't work. If you want to shift the goalposts and put the burden of supplying the solution on me, then I invite you to seek out and listen to some of the changes asked for by the protesters - external checks and balances like citizen review boards for PDs.

>Once again, do you have any decent solution or do you plan to just add to the stress of this critical and thankless job?

Given how vocal the Blue Lives Matter crowd is, I'd hardly call being a police officer thankless. There are plenty of people who still think/believe that cops are infallible, shining knights of justice who can do no wrong, and if they do, well, that person had it coming anyway.
The people looking for someone to hire are probably more interested in your skills than what you already tried.

Try listing your front-end development skills or what aspects of design you're good at. Someone who wants to hire you is interested in how you can help them way more than how they can help you.

Goodluck!
My answer is "we don't know but there seems to be little harm in trying it." This is what's happening right now. Sure, it's a bit of a shotgun approach, but again, if Drs want to used an already fda approved drug and try various approaches to see if it helps, I see no issue. Honestly, I don't get all the politics around this.
The CEO of said company is one of the authors.

In any case, even if he wasn't, the other three dunces should never have trusted such dubious data.

Speaking of practical, I really like GMail interface. Their system of tagging over folder really work well for me (I think there are CLI alternatives to do so).

But more recently, I'm pretty addicted to using the AI suggestions that GMail gives when composing an email.
That is correct, as you portrayed here, the cruciality of task at hand may surpass the beliefs. I am quite certain, this ideology is persistent.
> Give me a sort key or two, a filter box, and I'll whittle it down to what I'm interested in.

This is also editing, albeit of the view of the data, maybe I should’ve made clear that that’s what I meant (primarily, anyway.) Thanks for challenging!

Grids with massive amounts of data are – in my experience – only used to build models, i.e. sort, filter, aggregate. No one cares tho read more than a couple dozen or so rows, but they do like the ability to chuck a ton of data into the grid and then edit the view by applying various combinations of functions to sort, filter and aggregate the data into something that is more fit for purpose. You don’t need a grid to apply functions to data, it just happens to be a pretty effective interface to do so. But it’s only effective if rendering is fast, and that means someone somewhere will again reinvent virtualized rows. Or you know, just use excel.
I do wonder how the logistics of this will work in small gas stations. They will now need a dedicated spot for each port. Also now need amenities to support riders who are waiting for their car to charge.
Well, there is the suggestion of the paid lunch- short-term contract-to-hire situations that last a week or two? Of course, this only helps new grads and the unemployed.

Are there any e-mail clients that actually execute JavaScript? I use mutt, Mail.app, and occasionally GMail, and none even support JavaScript execution, AFAIK, let alone execute it by default.
You’re right, I forgot about forms – good shout!
- Python as a shell would be the worst crapware ever. Whitespace syntax, no proper file autocompletion, no good pipes, no nothing. Even Tclsh with readline would be better than a Python shell.

- By mixing C and C++ you look like a clueless youngster.

- /usr/local is to handle non-base/non-packages stuff so you don't trash your system. Under OpenBSD, /usr/local is for packages, everything else should be under /opt or maybe ~/src.

- OpenBSD's man pages slap hard any outdated StackOverflow crap. Have fun with a 3 yo unusable answer. Anything NON-docummented on -release- gets wrong fast. Have a look on Linux HOWTO's.
That's the future of the StackOverflow usefulness over the years. Near none. Because half of the answers will not apply.
The electric-car charging stations that I have seen at petrol stations elsewhere in Europe are not actually maintained by the petrol station. Rather, it appears that the petrol stations just allow charging-station brands to rent a portion of their plots of land to erect their infrastructure on. Consequently, requiring car charging at all petrol stations, instead of being a financial burden, may actually allow them to increase their income.

Also, since margins on petrol are so low, many petrol stations make their profit from their shops, not from the fuel itself. Since it takes some time for a car to charge, customers are likely to spend more time and therefore more money in the petrol station’s shop.
Maybe the selection of candy bars and magazines is so extensive that it will take that long to browse.

J/K. I'm 99% sure that commercial charging stations charge in ~30 minutes or less, not 8 hours.
this is a good strategy. i use it too.

Indeed, you’re correct. Often a constant trade-off of weightage is observed while analyzing a situation through facts-superstitions.
It feels like a large part of the value of a journal like the Lancet is that they DON'T do stuff like this. That one of the authors is ceo of the company that owns the data behind the study should be a glaring red flag. What value does the Lancet still have?

Note - I edited this post because it was much more crass and reactionary, and realized its not at all my domain, so I rephrased.
IIRC anything with the fingerprint reader gets complicated because of the signing keys Apple uses to help protect the device against unlocking attacks.

Given that this case is about importing counterfeit products from China...I disagree

They do as long as your business is near an apple store.

>If Apple designed their machines to be serviceable there wouldn't be a case.

Why should they be serviceable?

> That is what is wrong with platforms like Google and Facebook adopting the role of fact-checkers.

Along with that little problem of Google and Facebook being aggressive monopolies capable of wiping you off the Internet as a presence to an extent that whatever you're trying to publish will barely exist online (G search, gone; YouTube, gone; FB, gone; Instagram, gone; WhatsApp, gone).

Five monopoly positions on critical speech platforms between the two of them.

Those two monopolies have more totalitarian speech restriction capabilities than the US Government does by a dramatic margin. They should be broken up and regulated accordingly, due to their monopoly positions de facto putting them into the role of censor.
I wonder how much money Facebook will lose by simply not running ads for say one week. One week before the election, turn off all ads to a particular area, then run ads made by FB marketing for everybody to say vote in the election, I don't care who.
I agree that knowing the details of a red-black tree rebalancing is not fair game. I wouldn't bother implementing one unless I had access to a paper written by an expert like Sedgwick. Which leads into my gripe with programming interviews.

My biggest problem with this culture of interviewing is that most people don't seem to know/appreciate the complexity of the questions they are asking. There's been a number of times where my interviewer completely lacks any knowledge on the background theory/history on the question they asked me.

Afterwards I tend to find the question in Knuth or an Algo book.

That being said, I do think knowing that red-black trees, like AVL trees, fundamentally rely on Tree Rotations to maintain invariants about the tree which ensures its height balance IS fair game, IF you require formal algo knowledge from your candidates. With that knowledge, theoretically a well-read interviewer can guide someone to towards a partial implementation.

And from that knowledge, if someone would to introduce the concept of a splay tree, I could guess that since its a self-balancing binary search tree, it likely relies on tree rotations as well. You would need to bounce that off the interviewer obviously.

But if you're not familiar with the concept of tree rotations, and/or data structure invariants, you probably won't succeed no matter how much coaching your interviewer provides, due to pressure on your working memory.
This seems a bit unfair/cruel considering electric cars will probably decimate petrol stations. Most people will charge at home, or when parked at their destination (like work).

This is a great site. Does anyone know if there's a good online resource to stream this Kurosawa movie? And actually to stream any of the types of movies on cinemasojourns? Back in the day most major cities has a handful of cinephile type video rental places and now that those are long gone the only options have been the independent arthouse theater which of course are all closed on account of the pandemic. I looked into the Criterion streaming service at one point but was disappointed by how many of their titles weren't available on the service.

Just blur the pixelization and it will look similar to the human eye, but with guaranteed information loss. Note that you should also discretize the colors of the pixels, which otherwise have 24 bits of information each; and maybe 2x2 pixelization might be a better idea.

Having just moved 3 personal domains -> into google domains you can imagine I find this quite concerning.

I read some stuff about GPT-3, and what I noticed was that although it was doing some amazing things, there were a few tests that it did very badly on. I think like 30%-ish?

I get the way you think, but it's irrelevant.

I have 60 minutes to convince you I can code. In my day to day work, I can look at another example in the codebase. I can look up the stupidest stuff in stack overflow, even if it's embarassing. I can walk around the block if it's just not clicking.

An interview is not the same thing as work. It's a performance of code. I am practicing talking about how I think about a problem. I am practicing smiling while coding. I am practicing having a conversation in the middle of an initial rush of panic because of the pressure of an interview.
Trump promoted it in a press conference, which prompted world-wide interest. Elon Musk also promoted it https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1239650597906898947?s=20

I'm pretty sure Rumsfeld was paraphrasing J.B.S Haldane from a ca. 1927 publication, or Eddington's paraphrase of Haldane's observation:

"The Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose."

Rumsfeld never claimed it to be original with him.
Ohh Please. the "higher resale value" is simply a product of their insane new price, charging 100's of dollars for $30 of ram for example

as to their retail stores and "authorized repair" centers, I urge you to look at any of investigative reports on these place, or any of Louis Rossmann's video's, or read any of the 1000's of reports from consumer who have been denied repair or quoted repair costs that exceed the replacement cost of the device, or have been told that repair can not include data recovery, or about 100 other things

Apple stores and apple "Authorized repair" shops are not Repair centers, they are board replacement houses. It is akin to having a fouled plug in my engine and the dealership telling me the only way to fix that is to replace the engine then they walk me over to the showroom to sell me a shiny new car... That is what the apple store is
Life is too short to waste on Java? Yes, some of us really find Java that bad.

Plenty of other languages have solved the same problems in much better ways (as demonstrated by this very discussion re: asynchronicity). I'll pick Go over Java, Erlang over Go and wouldn't pick Java (incl languages running on top of) for anything today.

ZoomInfo just spammed my work e-mail the other day, asking me to update information about myself in their database. It took me a few seconds to figure out that the e-mail was not from Zoom (which happens to be the videoconferencing app I use at work).

If I first hear about a company when they spam me, I'm not impressed.

Since this article doesn't even mention what ZoomInfo does, here's the summary from Wikipedia:

Pretty much. Evidence-based medicine doesn't take its cues from Cave Johnson and just spitball stuff when people's lives are at stake. Plenty of promising drugs have horrible side effects, and it takes a lot of careful work to make sure they can be used safely to treat people. Thalidomide would be an excellent example of such a drug, which can cause excessive clotting and severe birth defects but also treats leprosy and certain cancers.

Well done to the three authors who launched an independent peer review of the dataset, and when those reviewers couldn't verify it, asked for the paper to be withdrawn. I'm sure they will always regret they didn't ask more questions earlier, but once discrepancies emerged, they seem to have acted with integrity.

If it were the case that allowing charging was an economic benefit to the owners of gas stations, I guess they'd already be doing it.

Since so few of them are, I assume that it's not beneficial.

If the government wants this, it should pay station owners to do it.

The medical profession needs to have a serious discussion about whether or not the Lancet should still be treated as a top journal.

In addition to this retraction, 3 of the top 10 most cited retracted papers of all time were published in the Lancet. [0] This includes the infamous Wakefield "vaccines cause autism" paper which is probably the most damaging scientific fraud of the last several decades.

On the editorial side, they've become quite outspoken on political matters [1], publishing one piece calling for the ban of tobacco, a letter expressing strong opinions on the Israel/Palestine conflict, and a piece just a couple weeks ago calling for Americans to vote Trump out of office. The also published a rather controversial study that provided very high estimates of the civilian death toll of the Iraq War. I'm inclined to agree with their position on some issues and disagree with it on others, but either way they seem to court controversy.

All of this has been under the same editor, Richard Horton (who is himself quite outspoken.) Put it all together, and the picture that emerges is a publication that values making a splash (whether by publishing shocking results or by taking a position on political issues) over getting things correct. That's irritating behavior in a tabloid. In a prestigious journal, it's horrifyingly irresponsible.

lol....does that include Fox News?????
Devil is in the details. If all stations must have “a” charger of no specified performance, that’s not going to be much of a burden given current ownership levels.

That said, this is designed to increase BEV ownership levels, which might lead to large queues if the stations all only have one charger… but that would lead to natural economic incentives for fast chargers and more of them even without government incentives or extra laws.

And charging points could — in principle at least, I’m no civil engineer — go in any parking place too, so there’s room for more entrepreneurs make up for the need for more places to park and wait to recharge.

If the next pandemic hits relatively soon, we will be better prepared, so the shutdown can be more restricted.

Also, if a government doesn’t attempt a closure, and things run out of hand, the population may start a chaotic closure.

I may be too pessimistic, but looking at the political climate in the USA, I think that could take the form of neighborhoods attempting to close off other neighborhoods to ward of the (perceived or real) threat of an epidemic spreading. The result could be a lot worse than what we see now.
That is exactly what I was thinking of. I don't want to buy dedicated hosts from MacStadium. I got native iOS builds and Unity buidls that would work well with this. Isolation is not as big of a concern.

I too would like to hear if anyone has been able to pull this off.

EDIT: And what about licensing?
You do realize that the whole reason we're discussing this retraction is because the scientific community did discuss its validity?

So far I've seen a lot of self-correction done by the scientific and medical communities themselves. There hasn't been a single example of a nontrivial story broken by a guy delivering spittle-flecked rants on Youtube. The ranters, however, are very good at taking credit for what actual scientists did.
