Yes, I agree TT has not been passed. But probably starting later this year we will be seeing more and more claims it has. At first it will be clear it's not. Then not so clear, and then the goalposts will be moved again, so that when GPT-5 is announced and it is clearly capable of keeping a conversation, the reaction on HN will be the same as the current reaction to GPT-3: "meh".
Virtually all American police departments are using at least some military psychology techniques. For instance the use of human silhouette targets at the gun range.

Maybe, but then the main point of having a small claims system is that a normal person should be able to use it with relatively little overhead and without needing to bring expensive lawyers into the situation. You do need to do a little homework if it's the first time you're thinking of making this sort of claim and as always you should make sure you are being fair and reasonable about trying to fix things before going all legal on them, but there's decent information about how to use the system available from the relevant government websites these days if you need it.
My current favorites are Jetbrains mono and SF mono.
But that bridge in Australia isn’t on an intersection. There’s plenty of room for a hanging bar.
Yup, I bought that one within says of the October 2016 because the new ones were outrageously expensive compared to what I was used to and I was not willing to give up inverted-T ;)
The max term of H1b is 6 years. You can stay on H1b beyond 6 years either by being on the green card backlog queue (after passing a certain stage you can renew your H1b beyond 6 years), or maybe leave US and come back again (likely requires another H1b lottery?). What I'm saying is sure stay in the US for 10 years on H1b is possible, but it's also quite hard.
It's mildly racist, quite sexist, and terribly Karenist.

It's a hurtful term, but useful because it's a shibboleth for trashy people to out themselves.
on one system, I had two images, and just did docker build once, and thereafter docker run

But clearly I didn't internalize all the stuff that's saved.

This is definitely true, but I think it's also valuable to ask "how much and how fast?"
And the RSS feeds are now gone :( I contacted support, maybe if enough people do they'll come back. I've had success complaining about this in the past when sites did a bit move.
From a purely national interest standpoint, it's hardly surprising the US would be uninterested in negotiations given the fact it's the global digital products leader.

A time will come when the US is not the global digital products leader. I surmise that the US will then be very much in favor of digital taxes.
Interesting. The pin-pen merger and caught-cot merger have very little (if any) overlap.

It looks like Florida and Texas might soon merge caught and cot, while retaining the pin-pen merger, in which case they'd only have 13 vowels, but I suspect they would probably end up splitting pin and pen eventually as their regional accent gets watered down to be closer to the General American accent.

i love wordpress+woocommerce instead of shopify because it's an easier system to manage security + hosting + speed + code if you know what you are doing. You don't really need paid plugins, just some PHP along the way and some free plugins will get you a long way. Esp paying < $100 for a shared cpanel or 1 of the better hosts $100-200/yr is still cheaper than Shopify's 30-70 USD a month.
Yes, Wright focused most of his attention on expressing his world view with his work, rather than careful systems engineering and detailing of that work for long-term exposure to the elements. The classic story about this is when one of his clients called Wright angrily that water was leaking on his desk, Wright's response was "well then, move your desk"

Wright achieved great mastery in terms of his structural engineering - two great examples are his Johnson Wax building with the "mushroom" columns that were radically stronger than any were willing to believe (a destruction test was used to prove it at the time - concrete construction being very new (post Romans that is) [1] and his Falling Water house where he used the mass of the house to provide a counter balance to the great cantilevering terraces and novel new reinforced construction techniques. The contractor for Falling water had no real experience with this new reinforced concrete construction, and apparently did not build according to the detailed plan as they assumed it would simply fall down once forms were removed. Wright had to personally go to the site and knock down the last supporting column of the great cantilevered terrace as no one was willing to be the one to destroy the house. Although it did not collapse, it did sag over the decades because of the construction flaws, and has been recently repaired to have full intended strength [2]

In the context of this discussion on ornamentation and philosophy in architecture, that Wright's execution was lacking is somewhat irrelevant.

i called and cancelled a "no contract" comcast plan one day. it took an absurd amount of time to cancel, and i finally had to yell at someone after being handed off 3-4 times to reps that each tried different tactics to get me to stay. i was able to cancel at some point and received confirmation.

then - no joke - a few days later i get an email that my comcast starter kit would be coming in the mail. THEY signed me back up! i called and it was explained to me as "oh, it looked like someone cancelled your plan in error". i was astounded. they then sent me to a comcast store that had been closed for years to return the modem, which i couldn't ship. i was about ready to throw the modem through the storefront at this point when i finally drove 30 minutes to an open location.

i will _never_ use anything comcast again. i feel so sorry for any poor souls that have no other option. i would not live anywhere it was my only option, that's how much i loathe them.
Is it really necessary though? I think it doesn't prune recently used volumes.
yea, commies are doing just great.
That whole ordeal sounds horrifying. What is it about cable/internet companies that seems to make them awful across the board?
I do not know about all FLW buildings but can talk about the ones in SW Pennsylvania - Kentuck Knob and famous Fallingwater. FLW paid a lot of attention to the construction and durability but a lot of bad rep comes from two factors: one, those building in particular were built in the challenging environments: one on the top of the hill, one - built into the side of the hill, over the creeks. Another factor is that a lot of FLW ideas required quality craftsmanship. As an example, Kentuck Knob has a row of sunlights on one side of the building. As far as I remember they were not made properly at first and caused problems with water leaking in.

But to me, none of this matters. Kentuck Knob is just such a lovely building, and Fallingwater... Fallingwater is a breathtaking masterpiece, there are no words to describe this feeling. During my first visit, I turned around to give it one last look and literally wept.
This sort of stuff should be regulated and outlawed out of existence.
I do mean in a business context. I still feel like a lot of business value fails to be captured when important decisions are made in an undocumented medium. The context and supporting facts associated with a decision are often just as important as the decision itself.
An experiment in the socially-distanced classroom
Litigating on principle can be a losing proposition, at least if you value your time and money more than your moral satisfaction. However, in my experience it's true that if you don't take any nonsense but stand your ground and are willing to take legal action if it really does come to that, you often end up with some token compensation in addition to getting the problem fixed.
Have you checked your credit rating recently?
This post is at odds with the fact that the military teaches stricter rules of engagement than police forces. There may be a culture problem in the force but this post is hysteria.

Police deal with violent criminals who have no regard for police life; in fact often they are explicitly against police. They're going to learn techniques appropriate for dealing with such people. Some of those techniques will be violent and resemble "military" tactics, but that's only because the military also deals with violent adversaries.

Was there such a point? The person who invented this spelling was 21 years old, if I'm reading the article correctly. Who knows, maybe the entire point of inventing it was to impress opposite sex.
Among the musical skills that can be acquired, "sight reading" is somewhat specialized, but definitely real. I'm a part time musician, and a fair amount of my performance work over the past decades has involved sight-reading. In addition to its usefulness for performance, it's an efficient way to digest a lengthy or complex work.
Well, unless it's changed, the big problem is that it seems the first person to sign up is the moderator/leader/whatever. And those are the people with nothing better to do, who subdivide to gain power over some amount of houses. Basically, like the people who try to form HOAs. Most complaints about Nextdoor would be fixed with reasonable moderation.

Also: I think a lot of people who complain about Nextdoor need to reflect on where they chose to live. My little city in KY was perfectly fine. People offering help, lost/found animals, events...standard stuff.
It's already illegal, potentially for multiple reasons, at least here in England.
> a simple form insert into a concrete form can create any desired ornamentation

I usually find that extremely ugly. It is simple to do, and there are heaps of examples around, but it is usually done into a flat rectilinear surface so doesn’t add much beauty. Forms are often repetitive, but even when the pattern varies over the complete surface it usually lacks any real style IMHO.
Compared to what they could have put me through, yeah it was painless. I should be able to completely manage my account on-line, including changing packages or updating payment details.

I imagine they don't offer such functionality because they're making quite a bit of money off of people who would downgrade or quit if they had an easier way of doing it. Outside of regulation forcing their hand, I don't ever see a company making this sort of thing easier.
HyperOptic or G.Network I’ve used both currently on the latter.

However you have little to no choice in the UK.

FTTP is only absolve in specific buildings if your building isn’t connected it’s virgin or xDSL via Openreach (pick your ISP at that point however they are pretty much all the same unless you pick Tesco Broadband or some other small scale crap like that so for DSL I would got with Zen or well BT).

The other alternative is a leased FTTP line but you’ll be looking at high 4 to low to mid 5 figures for connecting you plus a hefty monthly fee.

So if you want good fiber for cheap you need to look for properties which are already connected to HO or GN.
I had the opposite experience with BE when I left the UK. I found out there the account wasn’t cancelled properly and there was an outstanding debt on the account.

I emailed, then they replied and admitted fault, apologised, and refunded me. No sitting in phone queues, no treating me like a criminal.

Unfortunately looks like they got bought and shut down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Un_Limited

Seems like the good guys lose in this business.
Thanks, I wasn't aware aa existed. What kind of speed are you getting out of it on average?
When I was searching for a new flat, I was worried about the lack of fibre.

My new flat is connected to DSL, which has 70Mbps which is enough for 4K HD streaming and practically enough for everything. Even Stadia plays smoothly. Not perfect, but agreeing on DSL option gives much more freedom to choose a flat.

Good luck with looking for a place to live!
Right. Just as one should ask themselves whether each assertion written in Molyneux's wikipedia page is rhetoric, opinions, or facts, so too with that tweet.

This is my point: almost no one really cares what is true or not, including acknowledging the shades of grey that exist everywhere in the complexity of reality. It's simply how the human mind works.
Seems like eye drop to be used during solar eclipse.
not in their 20s but definitely not in their 80s like today. if you reached 50s you were a boss. a lot of things that we consider routine to fix today would have ended your life (broken leg/hand, infections, severe diarrhea, etc). We really under-appreciate how many things we have as tools to expand our lifespan today.
I'm here on an L1 (intra-company transferee). I was initially supposed to come on an H1b, however, lost the lottery twice.

(Lottery is difficult to win due to rampant abuse by certain Indian-US outsourcing companies)

For H1b, you can at least change jobs. An L1 cannot change jobs at all. So, you are completely at the mercy of your employer. Fortunately my employer is benign, but that is not the case for everyone.

Having a proper points system (not one that is easily gamed) and giving people a greencard to enable them to change jobs would be a much better system. This would prevent low-skilled workers and the suppression of US salaries. And if there is a high demand, the US can just take those with the highest points (as the Australian system does).

There are two very good systems:
1. Australian 189 permanent resident system. Example of points:

https://www.am22tech.com/au/australia-points-calculator-for-...

There is limited positions, so only those with the highest points are selected.

(Compared to H1b where the bar is low and people are selected via lottery. This incentivises outsourcing companies to have 4 people apply for every one true position).

2. Japan's point-based high skill visa (Technical stream)

http://www.immi-moj.go.jp/newimmiact_3/en/system/index.html

Processing time for this is 5 days guaranteed and very easy to apply for (I got mine in 4 days).

This is not permanent residence, but you can apply for permanent residence after 1 year.

It is astounding that things escalated to this point within two weeks of you signing up.
They told me I couldn't cancel in advance, I had to ring the month before I wanted the service cut, otherwise I'd cancel and it would end at the end of the month.

When I rang during that month, they then told me I had to give a month's notice and would be charged for an extra month.

Took me a few hours of phone calls to eventually get that dropped.

A good consumer protection law would be some requirement that cancelling a service is similar in friction to signing up for that service (obviously vague, but you get my point). You shouldn't be allowed to require a phone call to cancel a service.

Oh, this was also while I was in Cambridge and I was getting dial-up speeds regularly on my fibre line because they were so oversubscribed, while I was still getting leaflets through the door telling me to sign up for their service. It shouldn't be legal to advertise a service you don't have the capacity to actually provide, and still take people's money for it.

I remember one time I rang about it, explained and the guy went "I'll just look up and see if we have any congestion issues". After a few seconds, I heard him go "holy shit" away from the receiver, then come back to me and just start apologising and saying he could see why I'd have a problem.

Eh, that line of questioning should be handled by designers at the very beginning or even before sharing designs and can be addressed more generally for all of their designs before sharing any specific one.
There is no percentage-based threshold for antitrust. Price fixing, anticompetitive activities, cornering markets, etc can all trigger antitrust violations. Mobile computing is a far more important and mission critical foundation of modern life than video gaming. This is why there's a big push for net neutrality. The Federal government has all the authority it needs to regulate Apple if they decide it's worth doing. I support reigning in big tech.
my last line addressed 100 words.

I also was trying to augment the current system, not replace it. so the "92" and the word "new" were equivalent and you could use one, or the other or both.

The basic idea I'm putting forward, is that I think it would be easier, on the command line, than copy-paste (which requires a mouse)

I can type words pretty fast, and I can keep a word in memory easily.

At a high level, how are you spec'ing in Figma?
not familiar with this fellow but if I had to guess I would say that in some cases ldl-c (volume) is high while ldl-p (count) is low leading the ldl not to cause as much damage as it a high number of particles
Not in a hundred years could I imagine going back to Photoshop for doing product design. Figma is a joy to use. Photoshop is a slow, clunky thing of the past in this particular field of design.
Riiiiight? It's cheaper and tastier and I'm sure it's healthier.

> Background: Despite veterans' preference hiring policies by law enforcement agencies, no studies have examined the nature or effects of military service or deployments on health outcomes. This study will examine the effect of military veteran status and deployment history on law enforcement officer (LEO)-involved shootings.

> Methods: Ten years of data were extracted from Dallas Police Department records. LEOs who were involved in a shooting in the past 10 years were frequency matched on sex to LEOs never involved in a shooting. Military discharge records were examined to quantify veteran status and deployment(s). Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the effect of veteran status and deployment history on officer-involved shooting involvement.

> Results: Records were abstracted for 516 officers. In the adjusted models, veteran LEOs who were not deployed were significantly more likely to be involved in a shooting than non-veteran officers. Veterans with a deployment history were 2.9 times more likely to be in a shooting than non-veteran officers.

> Conclusions: Military veteran status, regardless of deployment history, is associated with increased odds of shootings among LEOs. Future studies should identify mechanisms that explain this relationship, and whether officers who experienced firsthand combat exposure experience greater odds of shooting involvement.

Is the pandemic, or is it the fact that exclusionary zoning has dramatically raised the cost of housing in many cities: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2017/05/ne..., and those costs are only worth bearing if the cultural and social amenities are also available? Without liberalizing urban zoning, it's hard to say.
Your mainstream explanation isn't correct. This only applies when a court replaces an existing precedent - a relatively rare occurrence. Police shouldn't be expected to anticipate the court's change of heart ahead of time.
I agree that the web is an outstanding platform. Many things exist that command line programs are much better at doing, e.g. web serving, text editing, matrix multiplication, and relu. We need to know that PCs will continue to be an open affordable alternative, which continues to maintain backward compatibility as designed. Technologies such as WebAssembly and GPU interfaces are still too new and experimental for many of us to feel comfortable opening it up to every news website we visit. We need to know that operating system vendors will continue to feel comfortable allowing us to easily share simple open source programs that have access to things like Intel's new instructions.

There's likely some earlier law passed by the same body directing the NYPD to have a policy, or carry out an activity, without the specific requirement for the information.
This is an anti-pattern that some companies follow. I remember trying to cancel an account from a grocery delivery service. There was no option online to cancel the subscription. The only option was to call them during their working hours which were different from mine because we were in different time zones. After waiting for 30mins I finally got connected to a human on the other side. They tried pressure sales tactics to get me to continue with the service even though I made it clear that I did not need their service anymore. The call itself took about 30 minutes. This is such an egregious waste of my time just to cancel a frickin subscription. These services cost actual money. On the other hand, there are "free" newsletters which hide their unsubscription button under layers of pages and clicks. It's a good thing gmail provides an "unsubscribe" button on the top. There should be a service which basically manages all your subscriptions(bits/bytes & atoms/molecules) in one place and allows you to activate/deactivate them. I would definitely pay for such a service. Or a website which ranks services based on ease of use, cost, cancelling headaches, most important clauses in their terms of use etc.
