Yes, this is the extent of the framing. It's weak at best. What ought to be said:

- It is truly agonizing that one must choose between civil disobedience and protecting the health of your loved ones, but that is a choice we are now all forced to make.

- Large public gatherings, even if outdoors, have heightened risk of transmission, especially if people are gathered together closely as they are certain to be at most protests.

- As such, the risk of contracting COVID-19 is high at protests, if the disease is present in the local population. Here is data to help you decide if that is the case for your local area: XXXX

- To understand the risks involved, based upon your own circumstances, here is data on the mortality and other health risks to those who you may transmit the disease to: XXX. If you choose to protest, consider adjusting other factors to minimize your exposure to these individuals. If you cannot, try to find ways to participate in the protest that minimize your own risk of becoming a vector. Or, if possible, quarantine your self for at least 7 days or at most 14 days from friends and family members who are at the highest risk.

Of course, stuff like this hasn't been written, and it takes not being paranoid of being labelled as not supporting the protests to write it. It should be culturally acceptable to say clearly and without risk that if you see your actions as a potential risk of killing your relatives, perhaps the right choice is in fact to participate in the protests without physically gathering. Given this message was not shared, we are basically relying for the most part on luck and on-site countermeasures, vs people choosing to not go, since the response so far implies that is not a moral choice to make.
Projects go in <year>/<name>

Every year I move the currently active projects forward as I touch them. Unless it makes sense to leave them in the old year. They aren’t archived, can still be worked on, they just aren’t necessarily cluttering the current year. And I have a script (bash function) for navigating them. ‘work’ cd’s me to the current year. ‘work ——-‘ (3 dashes) goes 3 years back. ‘work 2016’ goes straight to that year.

Projects are created at the drop of a hat. Super lightweight, no need for it to be important, formal, or even mine. Cloning something from github? Goes right into the current year.

The current year is in dropbox. Everything else is not. There’s also a special directory that holds stuff that doesn’t go in the cloud.

Also have a script for labeling the current directory with tags for easy grepping.

It works ok. There are a few rough edges. Like I might be playing with markdown one year and then again a few years later and end up with two markdown directories, in different years. Whatever. I can usually find old work for reference pretty easily.

Except there isn't really an alternative to Twitter - they have monopolised that "short catchy text stream" market.

For better or worse, Facebook and Twitter consumed blogs, and there are no real alternatives.

You're right that it's idiotic to describe QE as "deflationary" (don't know where they go that idea) but QE is neither inflationary nor deflationary as either description would be reasoning from a price change [0].

> The fed has effectively destroyed any price discovery on any assets

Don't see why this would be the case - price discovery is relative.

All this talk about rioting in the streets - inflation is projected to go down in the next few years, which should help the average American saver. If there is any place for outrage, it's over the Fed not acting forcefully enough!

As it stands now, the Feds policy stance is contractionary, just as what followed 2008.

Depends on the size of the various positions. If a bunch of new (and naive) investors enter the market with irrationally bullish positions, institutional investors will short and profit off of the fundamentals.

Agreed. Police are, within our borders, uniquely permitted to be "violence workers". That is their core competency. Everything else that can be accomplished by others should be.

But again, you claimed that every SLR in the past 4 years is "vastly" better. "Not even in the same ballpark". Your net evidence so far is that a $5000 camera body, which is known to have a class leading sensor, has better dynamic range than a two year old iPhone. "Hahahahaha".

I always think that you can tell when a 'narrative' is being pushed in the news when there's an obvious lack of dialectic examination of the issue at hand across multiple outlets (even better when the same keywords are used across publishers). This was observable during the WMD, Russiagate, and yeah, the HCQ stories, and many other issues. It's a pattern which, if you read many sources of news every day (thanks RSS), you can spot pretty quickly.

The other thing is hyperbole, which may be a little harder to discern if you don't have direct experience with the subject. I used to take HCQ regularly so was pretty "read up" on the health impacts. The fear-mongering I was seeing in the news about the risks was a bit much. A common refrain about Trump is that if he publicly said cancer was bad, the media would advocate cancer for everyone.

I don't know if it's better or worse that journalists wear their politics on their sleeves these days, but the one person out there who still regards journalists as competent objective reporters should probably read the mess they make of science and legal reporting and then realize the same level of competence is applied to domestic and foreign affairs reporting.

Yeah I do. When I was visiting the states my friend was instructing me to do things like turn on my interior car light and slowly put my hands on the steering wheel and do absolutely nothing that could possibly provoke the cop. That sounded fucking insane to me, coming from Australia.

And some of us would have done. Trying to write anything longer than a brief text message or Tweet using any modern touchscreen phone is excruciating. Swipe-style keyboards have made entering text tolerable, but correcting the mis-reads or even the most basic editing takes orders of magnitude longer than it needs to. Admittedly, modern phones do provide a neat demonstration of various technologies designed to correct the errors caused by an otherwise slow and inaccurate input device.
While the question in the link is "Why can't I sign in with Facebook anymore?", it doesn't actually explain the rationale behind the change. Has the rationale been explained elsewhere?
I think the last few years have proven what you've said really really wrong. Bigger audiences for toxic speech (on both the left and the right) tend to amplify the ideas contained in that speech, and when those ideas are publicly challenged, which they always are, they become politicized and people become entrenched in a giant shouting match that doesn't accomplish anything. People with big audiences on the internet, especially elected officials, should be held to a higher standard than the average user to facilitate better conversations about important topics, not lower standards just because what they're saying is news worthy.
The cloud industry as a whole might have that conflict of interest. But AWS itself is a single player in a really quite competetive industry. Configuring their kernels to be deliberately slow would be a clear disadvantage vs. Google and Microsoft et. al.

Was a renter in 2008 and you are spot on. Same situation in the Bay area as well as NY/CT. It was insane that rents started to go up during that time. People basically walked away from their houses and started to rent. It was weird. Also, the "corporatization" of housing scared me a bit. Consider the area in downtown Mountain View. Rent was under 2K around 2008. The corporate landlords did minor renovations (fancy gyms, granite counters, maybe a redo of flooring) - they then did fancy websites and sold a lifestyle. Totally focused on the high-paying tech jobs. I used to live in a complex with families and non-techies. All that evaporated as rent shot up to 3.5-4K for the exact same units.
Good luck with that.

> Also, they'll be geographically limited--no service out in the middle of the ocean.

There's a workaround for this, which is to stick a relay station out in the middle of the ocean on a ship that bounces the signal to a satellite closer to land. Expensive, but workable for the right price.

If there's a high enough density of commercial ships, you might be able to piggyback on the user terminals for this purpose. At the same time the military is likely one of the most interested customers and probably wouldn't be thrilled at relying on the typical distribution of commercial ships.
Reducing friction in a signup flow is key and that’s what FB login did. It made signing up easy as people already had an account. You could pull some data attributes depending on what you were looking for but overall, it made signup flows significantly easier.

I was talking about FSAs, not HSAs.

> Whether something is necessary to sustain life is not the criteria used to decide if an HSA covers it or not.

And I'm arguing that the criteria, whatever they are, are arbitrary and stupid and need to die in a fire. Along with the the whole concept of FSAs. Yeah food and water are essential, but baby formula isn't ham sandwiches or avocado toast. It's the only food that a baby can have - it's an essential health item. That an account meant to pay for health expenses doesn't allow it is downright dumb.

Calling it a "flexible" spending account is downright Orwellian language. It's the opposite of flexible.
Manually and imperfect but it works. Clients and Sides folders are the most used. Client folders usually have Site (for latest), Concept, Drafts, Logos, general files, etc. Downloads gets cleaned of anything massive, occasionally sorted, but otherwise just left alone - mostly serves as a museum years later. Then Business (Quotes, Invoices, various business-related ventures, Employees, Banking, Financials, etc) and Personal (house, hobbies, cars, the children, etc).

Day to day, there are usually 5-7 external drives directly connected - Lightroom catalogues by year, video source file storage, cache drives for video editing, etc. For source videos, I've settled on YYYY > Project or area, MMMM. That seems to work for my scale at this point.

Russia does according to various circumstantial pieces of evidence - keep in mind, being Russia, lot of this info is not public. All of ex-USSR shared similar medical system previously, and many (except for Baltic countries probably) tend to follow the advice of Russian doctors.

I would say shocking part is the cockiness of the police. They are so secure in their jobs that they know that even if they kill someone on camera or rough up protected entities like journalists nothing would happen to them.

I mean, they literally have a license to murder.
Self-referentialism can happen when a small group of authors cite one another to establish legitimacy to an idea that has no foundation in what came before. It doesn't by default mean something is bullshit, but it greatly increases the likelihood that a small group of people is able to propagate bullshit.

Think of the foundation as all human knowledge and people keep building upon that knowledge. Legitimacy is conferred when you make references to prior knowledge in your effort to establish your new idea as legitimate.

More recently, citations in the earliest papers proposing an idea have expanded such that the references are often leaf nodes, much of those leaf nodes often have no citations and end up being "like, uh, your opinion, man", but you get enough of these papers with bullshit leaf nodes referencing one another and you end up with a cluster of papers with tenuous or possible no connection to any prior work in a field. It's a cluster of papers referring to one another and look legitimate because there are citations. They may only be a few hops deep before you get to the "like, uh, your opinion, man" nodes, but no one ever looks that deep and notices.

I'll give you one such example that I personally know the origin of on Wikipedia. The person who made this edit doesn't know when they originally heard it, but they said they once heard in passing that this-is-known-as-kebab-case. When someone questioned them about it they went to the wikipedia article and casing and it wasn't mentioned, so they looked around for prior references to this casing name. They said they found one reference but it wasn't a good reference, but it was a reference and so they edited Wikipedia to make the change. They change was accepted and stuck. Within the next year or two lo-dash or possibly underscore.js came on the scene and this person convinced them to add the casing conversion function and name it kebab case because that is what was in the wikipedia article because they added it. Getting this in a major library now made it a legitimate name. At that point, the wikipedia article was updated with another reference, this time to lo-dash.

And that is the story of how self-reference was used to make kebab-case a legitimate reference in wikipedia.

Most places with rent control also have similar limits on property tax increases. In fact, I think most places have limits on property tax increases because property taxes are largely just some number pulled out of the ass of some bureaucrat.
