Can we take a moment to appreciate that the movie this project is named after is about the harm done to society by an out-of-control overly militarized police force?
Good point, but wouldn't an always-visible scrollbar have the same effect?
The UI is cool, but this really should be client software, not a service.

I'd rather keep my current mail host — half the price, unlimited domains/mailboxes/storage (instead the limit is on the number of outgoing mails per day), based in Switzerland instead of the USA.
Even in his video he said he liked many parts of MuseScore — he never said he totally hated it. His critique of it was much more entertaining than scathing.
I also use them. Their plans start at 1 euro a month. Works fine but once in a while my mail client gets login errors that go away after 5-10 min.

It feels to me like you’re just saying the same thing in two different ways, and that the reasoning is not circular.
A child in an ICE internment camp doesn't have to worry about local property tax rates though. As GP said, there are very few pieces of politics that affect them personally, that doesn't mean none. Just as it also means that no bit of politics affects every single person meaningfully.

Unless of course you end up with device you can't use and then go do something elsw. It is just not true that kids would universally figured it on their own, especially when the issue is deep in settings.

Frankly, people here imagine idealised version of themselves and then expect it to be norm. That would be like artist imagining that all the kids love drawing and high quality crayons are all they need and then being shocked that most of them just can't do it.

And double so kids for who computer is something expensive for work and not a toy. So if they broke it parent is locked out of work till they find someone who will fix it and the kid won't get access again.

And tripple so kids who are not English native speakers and don't understand words on screens.
There are some pitfalls when using <hstack> and <vstack> for accessibility.

I need to look into it more, it's still early and the code isn't set in stone, so I will be tackling accessibility issues
a) that's what reinsurance is for.

b) Can you give some specific examples? I'm using State Farm as a place-holder for "large insurance company". They had one really bad year recently where they "only" made 9 figures in net income.

Insurance companies are extremely profitable. Their losses in bad years are more than offset by gains in good years.
Club D’Elf. They are a cross between morrocan trance and jam band. Though there is a core group of musicians, the only constant is the band leader/bass player. Depending upon who’s playing that night the style could be anything from Pink Floyd-esque, gnawa music, MMW-esque, David Bowie-esque.

They have a dedicated taper following and their own sound man for nearly every show resulting in at least 1 high quality recording for nearly every show they’ve played in the last 20 years. And the vast majority of their shows are at a small venue in Cambridge Ma.

I strongly recommend them.

But there’s lots of other good stuff on the live music archive.
I don't know if it's one of the studies you linked to, but I read a study a week ago that showed that black men were 2.5 times more likely to be killed by a cop, but 2.1 more likely to kill a cop (compared to whites).
I suppose there is some theoretical upside to tiger attack insurance as well...doesn't mean my grandmother in Alaska should ever buy any.
I don't remember the specifics of 2 of my friends who dropped out, but one of my friends transitioned from working part time and going to school full time, to working part time and going to school part time, to working full time and going to school part time, to only working full time. The process took about 3 years.
> Mozilla sadly adopted a strategy of blindly following everything Chrome does.

I think Mozilla's incentives for minimizing Flash were relatively aligned with their principles: Flash is a proprietary technology from a single company, not an open standard. I also think that's a valid criticism, and why a lot of other tech enthusiasts didn't mind seeing Flash die, either.

I largely agree with you though—Flash was a good technology, and the clear line in the sand it created between "web pages as documents" and "interactive content" had a lot of advantages. I also don't think it was any more bloated than modern HTML web apps, although it felt heavier at the time due to our more limited hardware capabilities.
My experience with Flash was that it was a nightmare of crashes and cpu usage on anything but Windows (i.e. Linux desktop, MacOS).

I feel like a lot of people have a very rosy "nothing was wrong" view of Flash that I don't share. Jobs' letter was pretty welcome to anyone using a Mac, for one.
They will know the applicant's race & religion within the classification system the employer uses. In other words, in the eyes of this hypothetical employer the racial system is Black & Not Black. By not checking the box they know for certain that the employee is Not Black and presumably eligible to be hired. The fact that others might subdivide Black or Not Black into different categories doesn't change anything for the employer.
Good point. Are you making that trade?
“Adobe will be removing Flash Player download pages from its site and Flash-based content will be blocked from running in Adobe Flash Player after the EOL Date.”

This blocking seems really dumb to me. At least throw up a warning. It will cause old web content to be completely inaccessible, throwing away years of human creativity. Most likely there will be some legacy systems somewhere that will then use a hacked version of flash laden with malware because it’s the only thing available so some legacy system written by long gone people can be used.
Let's assume they are all guilty for 100% of what was reported. I wonder what other things may have occurred unreported?
Encrypted chat is included by default with IOS. It could be with Android by Google as well, it still isn't.
Well, in the past open source developers have attempted to put morality clauses into their licenses(ie You may not use this software in the development of nuclear weapons), but it was determined by the open source overlords that if a license puts a restriction on a specific usage, it is no longer Open Source.

So everyone who chooses to license their software as open source is making a choice that intentionally limits their own ability to prevent others from using the licensed software legally. So no, open source software developers don't have the choice to restrict certain groups from using it - but that is because it was a choice they themselves made on how to license the software. Isn't that the ultimate hand washing?
Ponzi schemes are forbidden by law, so no that would not be permissible. It's completely legal to file for an IPO for a company when you have no business plan yet though. As long as you are open about what you intend to do and it's not illegal then the SEC won't stand in your way.

See https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-ba... for example.
Interesting, in that sense software is like making an art piece where value is uncertain. That definitely opens a viable case for public funded software. Plenty of movies are produced with the help of Govt for example.
Are open source software licences immoral? Think about it, by making tools open source with MIT or GPL, you are basically allowing anyone (including known immoral actors causing great harm in the world) to freely use them.

By the logic in this thread, it would be more ethical to use a more ambiguous license that allows the creator of the tool to yank the rug out from under any of its users at any time.
I'm fine with the questions on immigration. It's a political issue that has been unaddressed for decades, and needs to be faced soon.

I'm not fine with hyperbole. It causes unnecessary arguments and deadens people to extreme viewpoints. Reality is bad enough to cause political change as long as attention is brought to it.
I like primary/replica as a base replacement
Aside from the deep consistency of 2000's UI (after all it more or less progressively improved on the 3.x traditional widget set with in some cases little more than a recompile required to get the new theme), 2000 was the first consumer experience of a PC OS featuring real per-process virtual memory, and this is probably a big reason why everyone (including myself) remembers it so fondly.
"Part of" certainly does not mean "controlled by". Powers are generally enumerated or reserved to the states. Plus and minus lots of interpretive scotus precedents.
BTW, we also have a tech publication at https://github.com/uber/piranha/blob/master/report.pdf where we discuss some of the design tradeoffs pertaining to the stale flag cleanup problem.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by conflict detection? Are you trying to understand how flags are dependent on each other?
I don't understand why the goal is to "guarantee safety". It seems to be generally accepted that human error causes approximately 90% of motor vehicle accidents [0]. Surely then the goal of any autonomous or semi-autonomous transport system should be to merely reduce that percentage? If all motor vehicles were "self-driving" and the total number of annual deaths was reduced by one, wouldn't that be a good thing? I would rather reduce my chance of dying early than eliminate the possibility of being killed by a bot.

By far the best GUI experience. I will also attest to its rock solid stability.

Next to BeOS (#1), it's on my top list of favorite OS's

On both OS's ATI's TV Wonder ran like a dream!
there is something i recently started pondering:

there's a perception vs. reality effect here too. let's say an engineer can:

- implement feature X while shipping tests in 8 hours

- implement feature X without tests in 10 hours

if i was a manager and tests were delivered, i'd expect that the engineer wasted time on tests, when instead they could be shipping more features. so, at the detriment of the code-base developers _could_ be taking longer because of manager perceptions.

this is an over-simplification. there are second-order effects that take on this shape. if i write cleaner code (even without tests), i make the next engineer's life easier.

we work in an environment where it's possible these acts of future-helping go unrewarded. so, as early-stage engineers we're conditioned to avoid issues of quality.
also, an associates is an undergrad degree too.
Needs clawback of golden parachutes otherwise there's little risk involved in sociopathic management.
Your own contradiction is much more substantial!

Immigration enforcement is literally the use of force to maintain a larger economic inequality than the downward pressure you referred to.

Not in some subtle way. Enforcing politically decided inequality is literally the purpose of ICE.

It makes people uncomfortable to talk of it in those terms, but when you get down to it, a lot of people want to see enforced inequality, and vote for it.

They couch in terms like "downward pressure" to abstract things away from the people's lived experience, to make it palatable to make one group of people worse off so that another group of people can be better off.

The economics abstraction has the added bonus that we avoid mentionining the lived reality: the perpetual fear, lack of humanity and so forth that come with, say, splitting up families, and preventing them from having any reasonable avenue for leaving an ordinary life. (I've known too many immigrants who cannot find a way to solve the bureaucracy problem, and cannot even determine their legal status, or in some cases if they did try to find out they risk being split from their own immediate family, so perpetual fear and avoidance of authority is their only realistic option for living.)
So do you think religious discrimination is acceptable?
Look up "Short Throw Laser Projectors" it's somewhat possible with funky optics depending on how much distance you can afford.
> Flash worked perfectly fine on Android back in the day.

It absolutely did not. It was a huge battery drain and super unintuitive to navigate with touch.
> apparently "conservative"

I think you answer your own objection right there. Conservatives don't conserve anything, it's liberalism with a speed limit. The United States doesn't have any party that is interested in conserving anything cultural or legal, anywhere. Which is great for Democrats (like myself).

(There are many conservative voters in both parties, of course, and they would absolutely disagree with this latest ruling. But that's not the same as those voters having a party—there are literally no "conservative" elites in position of power in the Democrat or Republican parties, or anywhere else for that matter. We're effectively at year zero.)

> not because it's what they believe

No, they believe it. The courts are by far the fastest and best means of enacting liberal reforms today. Voters cannot be relied upon to enact these kinds of changes themselves (quite the opposite, in fact—they consistently vote against them). Civil rights legal principles always trump any other law or principle, which is why it's the sole justification for all of these landmark cultural rulings. The Anglo-Saxon legal tradition is as out-of-date with culture today as a statue of George Washington or Thomas Jefferson.

After the courts, we have to rely primarily on finance (private corporations) to push change; Goldman Sachs and assorted hedge funds are incredibly powerful allies in the long march towards progress.
Textualism is a meaningless distinction.

Back in the Lockner era, textualists did nothing but legislate from the bench. Which lead to the switch in time to save nine.
I was just starting college and Windows 2000 was all the rage. I installed it but I had a nasty issue where I kept getting a BSOD randomly in games after 5-30 minutes of gameplay.

I updated my drivers for everything and spent hours looking for a solution. No dice. Went back to 98 till XP dropped.
Planetary scale finance is FUBAR literally everything; all of civilization, resource allocation, etc needs to be rethought (re-evolved) for a world that is post light-speed communication. Power is now liquid and can be transferred from any random node in the human mesh to any other node instantly. Robinhood bailing out Hertz, Trump, Startup Not-Bubble, all the same root cause and it's barely getting started.
I believe accuracy may have dropped due to the decreased number of flights collecting data, but Dark Sky in years past has been very effective at forecasting rain. I rely heavily on it since I typically go most of the summer without a top on my Jeep.
"The RATE is abuse is more important than the mere existence of abuse."

One thing that always rubbed me the wrong way about looking at PE ratios is that a lot of stocks don’t pay you directly from their earnings (unless they have a dividend).

In other words, so what if the PE ratio is 1000 or 10 or 5? You as an investor aren’t going to get a piece of their earnings in any case. You only get paid when you sell your shares to someone else.

Yes I just described the Greater Fool Theory...
Are you using machine translation? The Danish version that I get by default seems weird, not exactly bad but just weird choices of words and some sentences.
I can't say I ever had an issue with Flash on Mac or Linux. It was certainly heavier than normal web content, but so is modern html5 stuff.
Thank you for making both the client and server sides of this video chat application open source.

The only missing piece it seems is the STUN/TURN server. Would you have a plan to also release it?
My recommendation is to hone your "soft skills": make sure you're on top of communication (be quick to respond to clients and don't let emails sit for more than 24 hours), be patient (working with clients means a wide variety of team dynamics and work paces), be humble yet confident (clients like help but they also want to "be right"), and prepare for the politics inevitably dumped onto outside consultants (consultants often are called in to make hard calls that internal teams don't want to make for political reasons).
The memories this brings back!

I turned 18 midway through 1999 and since I was deeply interested in multiprocessor OSes (chiefly, BeOS) I asked for (and was lucky enough to get) a dual PIII-450 system as an 18th birthday/high-school graduation gift.

I dual booted BeOS 5.5 and Windows NT 4.0. Windows 98SE would work, but it didn’t have support for SMP, so one of the processors would be deactivated. On the other hand, it NT 4.0 didn’t support USB, and I had several USB peripherals (my very first digital camera, a Canon IXUS, and a flatbed scanner).

That’s why in June 1999 I joined the Windows 2000 beta programme. It was amazing to have the full power of the dual processors, the “interesting” new GUI, and USB support all rolled into one system. I remember being quite smitten with Windows from just about then until a couple of years after the release of XP (the fabled “XP SP2” being when I jumped ship and switched to Mac OS X 10.2).

Anyway, yes, Windows 2000 (or “Win 2k” as it was affectionately known in those millennial years) was a true monument, a watershed, a massive accomplishment when compared technically to its immediate predecessor Windows NT 4.0 (SP6a) and an immense effort bring the NT line to “functional parity” with the Windows 9x line. I was stunned that it was replaced so soon by Windows XP (and also, stunned that XP endured for so long thereafter, but that’s another story).
Java, compiled with Closure
For those who liked Windows 2000's no-nonsense interface, another forgotten masterpiece IMO was Windows Server 2003 as a desktop OS. It had all of the clean minimalism of Windows 2000, both in terms of UI and lack of cruft, with the good bits of XP installable on demand. It's my most fondly remembered Microsoft OS.
They stole the logo and name of the well known Hackintosh bootloader (OpenCore)—-none of the developers are involved with this scam and are pretty pissed about it.

Was NSAPI not an open standard?
Though your hypothetical seems like it would run afoul of disparate impact protections. A violation of Title VII may be proven by showing that an employment practice or policy has a disproportionately adverse effect on members of the protected class. AFAICT, a disparate impact also does not require a showing of intention.

This highlights something that I've always found confusing about the stock market. The traditional CAPM assumes stocks are priced based upon discounted future cash flows. But yet, we have many stocks which have an extremely high liklihood of never returning capital to investors: stocks which are likely to never buy back shares nor issue dividends. And yet, investors price them as if that capital will be returned to investors. There does seem to be something fairly unexplainable about stock valuation by the market. Perhaps this finally reveals something more to it.
Win 2000 was a revolution for me, back then I was a heavy delphi user and it's debugger crashing would kill Win98, like straight BOOM gone.

Win 2000 just shook it off and kept going, that alone was worth the upgrade.
> I don’t get the hate on this offering.

It's a nearly guaranteed loss, and and pretty much the only people who will invest in it are those that are too incompetent to realize that. It smells like a legal con to separate those people from their money.
I think we are speaking across each other because we have fundamental differences in how we view the employment relationship. I do not expect consensus with employment, but I will not work at any organization that makes it blatantly clear that my voice will not be heard. Oracle makes that abundantly clear - you don't hear many stories about activism from folk at Oracle at that reason.
Would you sell a man a gun if they told you:

"hey, if you sell this to me, I'm going to go shoot that black kid outside", and then showed you a few videos of them doing this before?
The flag management system has information on activity pertaining to various flags. After prolonged inactivity, a flag is considered stale and a diff is generated. This is a heuristic (in the absence of expiry date for a flag) and the final decision on cleanup is made by the flag owner.
Avis/Budget have a similar program. I've always found Budget to be cheaper than competitors. I'm amazed every time I rent that more people aren't savvy to Fastbreak. It is very convenient!
This might have been the plan, but it doesn't happen in my experience. I've tested it multiple times and Gmail loads those images when you open the email and it's possible to track when users open their email. It also appears that Gmail loads those tracking pixels every time you open that email, doesn't do caching, so it's possible to track how many times the recipient opens the email.

The redeeming quality is that by proxying those images, your IP and User-Agent are no longer leaked. But that's it.
Flash did not run on every possible platform that web browsers ran on. Flash was a 2nd class citizen on Linux.

Flash needed to move aside so that the web standards could advance to the point where Flash was no longer necessary.

Not only did Flash need to die, but all browser plug ins: Flash, Java Applets, ActiveX and Silverlight.

Now we have powerful browsers, web standards, and you can do amazing things in them, confident that it works on any client without 3rd party extensions.

Flash (and Applets, ActiveX) served a short term purpose. Silverlight was an attempt, too late, to capture Flash's success.
