There is a fantastic book that covers all of these topics and goes straight to the heart of the "nothing to hide" arguments both pro and con.

In fact, the book is titled "Nothing to Hide: The False Tradeoff between Privacy and Security" by Daniel J. Solove. I would highly recommend for those who are security and privacy conscious.
> If someone has a modest amount of money and no regard for safety, it's actually pretty easy to assemble a reactor.

My understanding is that building a reactor is fairly easy (possibly even in reach of a smart high-school kid). But that getting hold of the enriched uranium required to run a reactor is (thankfully) rather difficult due to trade and production being heavily controlled.
You can do this

SELECT B.*
FROM tableB B
LEFT JOIN tableA A
ON A.key1= B.key1
and A.key2=B.key2
WHERE A.key1 IS NULL

Or use NOT EXISTS depending on the database you use.

I keep hearing the narrative about social media being "toxic". But what exactly is the toxic part?

> Perhaps most importantly, use social media sparingly, like any other addictive, toxic substance, and invest in more real-life community building conversations. Listen to real people, real stories and real opinions, and build from there.

Is the issue that people are not spending enough time talking to their neighbors? What is the non-toxic solution to social media?
It's unclear what you're rebutting here. My position is that on a cyclic basis, there will always be societal elements that will trend towards the negative and nefarious as long as it is tolerated. The fact that the global minimum for such things manifested themselves much more severely (as in your example) in the past does not change the fact that it still occurs today.
> At the end of the day though I know what I have to do: Either study for 3 more months, stay where I'm at with my current pay, or switch careers entirely. Right now I'm leaning towards switching careers entirely.

One person who wrote a Python book was spot on in their conclusion: "At one point you should stop working as a programmer. You'll get no respect and your pay will be mercilessly negotiated down. Better to start another business and utilize programming as a secret weapon."

(Grossly inaccurate rephrasing but that was the gist of the paragraph.)

Still though, maybe you are too shy for the brutal game of numbers and chance that job hunting is even for seasoned programmers. That's fine. But you should know -- there are a ton of really mature and interesting people out there who know how to recruit. But it's a fact of life that you rarely find them; more often than not, they find you. And that's not happening to everyone who needs such an approach (sadly).

If you feel you want to switch careers and can't bear the thought of working programming anymore then do it. But if you just kind of feel giving up because of bad interviews -- don't give up just yet.

And I absolutely agree: we like to think we're special but there are a lot of very talented people out there. Very few are actually standing above the crowd. I am fine being one of many though; we each bring our own flavour to the company and some of these flavours do bring serious competitive advantages. :)

Not only that, but these jobs have no benefits. The person subject to this needs to pay out of pocket for insurance (Obamacare helped a little, but it is still an added cost).

I'm sorry but this is basic UX 101. If you have everytbibg laid out like in the jet cockpit, it's going to take a heavy toll on the user's cognitive and decision making becomes more slow and cumbersome.

The reason this type of user interface exists in fighter jets is simply because the situation requires it. It only works as well as it does because the pilots undergo thousands of hours of training to familiarise themselves with the interface.

The only reason everything is laid out into single function button and knobs is not because it provides a better experience, it's because pilots are in a unique position where their lives might depend on decisions and actions performed in a fraction of a second. It's not really a concept that is transferable to other types of interfaces and shouldn't be glorified as good UX either.

Pilot errors are far too common which is directly related to the complexity and cognitive load imposed by the aircraft interfaces.

These are well documented on several scientific publications. Look up Hossini and Kahneman (some of his stuff has been proved wrong but mainly his motivation ideas).

Their risk is when they can't find a tenant or a tenant quits mid-lease. Then they owe the bank from their pocket. Commercial real estate is much more susceptible to the economy.

The parts for the helis might have come from an old factory that shut down, the parts might have been bought very cheap. Someone then decided to build some helis with the parts but clearly decided to forego the permit process and just forge all of the paperwork the customer gets. Someone buying them might have just been expecting a good deal on an older design but still legit helis or they knew they were not legit and were planning to resell them to other groups. I'm not sure anyone would actually want to fly in a heli they knew had forged paperwork.
Maybe you don't know this, but the "A-hed" article of the WSJ is the humorous, light-hearted take on some cultural phenomenon that appears every couple of days. It's got a distinct separation (graphically) from the rest of the news, and is written not to be taken too seriously. (It's not so apparent in the online version, if you haven't read it before).

So you don't have to worry that it's some broad decline in journalistic standards (at least based on this)... The WSJ is one of the few quite reputable news rooms out there.

You can read about A-hed articles here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303362404575580...

Paying these factory workers what they are worth, regardless of where they are situated, has been a long time coming. This is great news.
Indeed. Reading the article and comments here, this, to me, looks like it could ‘just’ be a case of gray imports (on steroids).

They could get original parts (but through unofficial channels), have qualified personnel use official tools to assemble a helicopter, test it and sell it as real, but don’t get external confirmation that they used good parts and followed correct procedures.

Of course, without the external checks, it becomes easier to increase margins by getting second-hand parts, use unqualified personnel, don’t use official tools and do less quality testing.
Check out A-Frame or an authoring tool built on it. It's very HTML-oriented.
No it doesn’t. If you go in with a cold, they check your temperature and give you some Tylenol you get charged $600 out of your pocket, until you meet the deductible. It’s the preventative care stuff that is /sometimes/ not counting against the deductible.

Also literally any surgery is a financially ruinous healthcare event insured or not until you’re rich relative to the average person - I have the receipts of the tens of thousands of dollars of medical bills I’ve had to pay while insured to prove it.
STAR, the system we're advocating, solves a lot of these issues though. Score voting is "like" approval voting but with more precision (really approval is just the binary version of score). STAR05 is often suggested because experimentation shows that it has enough expressiveness to generate good winners but is simple. You can always add more expressiveness by increasing the range in which you can score candidates, but there's diminishing returns as you increase it and added complexity (I don't think people will have a problem rating 0-10 though since we actually do that a lot).

I cannot think of any way that IRV beats out STAR. In STAR's worst case scenario (1-sided strategy) it still has a VSE equal to IRV's best scenario (100% honest). Any more honesty that people have in STAR just improves peoples' satisfaction. This is actually one of the main arguments of cardinal systems over ordinal systems (e.g. STAR vs RP/IRV).

If you're really into the ordinal camp, I'd also strongly encourage you to look into Ranked Pairs. The satisfaction is A LOT higher than IRV does. On the ballot side it is no different than what the voter sees in IRV (really this is fairly consistent for ordinal systems, by definition).

But I want to stress that STAR and Approval are not equivalent. I also want to stress that scoring is an extremely familiar concept to most people. "Rate this drive out of 5 stars." "On a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate..." etc. So I'd argue that STAR is fairly expressive (which seems to be your major complaint) and is a simple and easy concept for voters to understand (since they are already familiar with it).

Last I checked, a problem with the other boards is that they aren't as open.
That argument doesn't work because some people are so conformist that every detail about their personal lives would be considered 100% unobjectionable to anyone they know or work for. (This is impossible when you know or work for diverse groups, but inside of a monoculture it's possible.)
Connector specifications literally do specify insertion and removal force in e.g. Newtons, as well as how many times they should withstand unplugging/reconnecting, etc.
Right. I read somewhere a comment that you can go to Europe and (possibly exaggerated for emphasis) see Audi station wagons towing horse trailers at 100mph on the freeway.

Here, you have someone who might move their single horse from summer pasture to winter pasture, and as a result, thinks that they "have" to have a HD3500 "dually".
So are are suggesting that "I don't approve of your opinion on this topic" is equivalent to "threatening her with rape and strangulation, publishing her home address and Social Security number, and posting doctored photographs of her.", to quote the wikipedia article you linked?

Or perhaps more specifically, can you present an example of cancelling that was done "specifically [...] for reasons of anger, revenge or control", and not due to other reasons, and that includes embarrassment and humiliation, economic control like ruining the credit score, harassing family and friends or employers, or scare tactics to instill fear?

I can't.

You trying to frame people being upset with someone's actions and expression views you disagree with as stalking is an interesting take, I'll give you that.
"Worth automating" isn't a simple one-time binary decision. Whether a given process is worth automating depends on the cost of automating it, and the labor costs that it will save, both of which change over time.
not to mention that the TBD requirements have to be approved and voted on by congress to become law.

that said, there is also some text that changes specific wording in other existing laws that may have an impact on future court cases, e.g.: “(2) CIVIL REMEDY FOR CERTAIN ACTIVITIES RELATING TO MATERIAL INVOLVING THE SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF MINORS.—Conduct by a provider of an interactive computer service (as defined in section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 230)) that would violate section 2252 or section 2252A if that section were applied by substituting ‘recklessly’ for ‘knowingly’ each place that term appears shall be considered a violation of section 2252 or section 2252A for purposes of paragraph (1) of this subsection.”.

We could be charitable about what 'recklessly' means, but given the tendency of pre-digital judges to misunderstand technology - I can understand why there is a pushback against this kind of language.

"What do you mean you don't keep a history of your clients' internet activity? I would construe that as reckless behavior."

Don't know if this is useful in your case but, the "cloud" does no magically means those thing do not exist. A lot of the concepts that exist in hardware IT systems (networks, firewalls, proxies, routers, balancers, etc) have cloud equivalents. Maybe with a bit of work you can "transfer" your skills and become a "Cloud DevOps": Get into GCS, AWS, Azure, OCI and other cloud providers. These jobs are becoming more and more in request.

Good luck!
To agree with this some, the super-capacitor jump starters should definitely change the necessity of jump starting, as they provide more amps closer than 6' cables.

Unfortunately, education is lacking; my father is an example that kept jump starting even when he had a super capacitor jumper.

Super rad. Anything to help people go places they otherwise wouldn't be able to.

That being said, I'm kinda more partial to the adaptive mountain bikes like the Sport-ONs[1]. Two wheels in front, one powered wheel in back, and a more "aggressive", sporty posture for the rider. Clearly a different market and twice the price as the Rig. It seems to me that the Rig could be a lot more comfortable and competent with some changes.

Jeremy P. McGhee[2] seems to be a reseller and booster of them.

Here's a video of him and another guy riding them along with a friend of mine (the guy on 2 wheels).

The Rig with it's capability for cargo, reminds me of an industrial bike like a Worksman[4].

If you're wondering why this doesn't happen, well I'd argue that that's because a large amount of people see a big difference between taxes and investments. There's good reason for this, because taxes do more than invest into projects, but it definitely is a component and as soon as you add the T word people are no longer with you.
Generally market bubbles come to an end when you run out of fools, but in this case the supply of fools seems just limitless. What’s the story here? Where are they coming from? Is it massive leverage? Is it free money from the fed? What accounts for the endless supply of idiots? I really do want to know who is buying at these prices and where they are getting the cash to do so.

What was atrocious about Flash? AS3 was a decent language. Better, more open tools were coming along. Insecurity and privacy concerns were addressed by properly sandboxing it. The biggest downside of Flash is that it wasn't an open web technology, but the answer to that shouldn't have been to remove it before an open alternative was established. All in all I don't see what all that fuss was about.

If WebGL and Flash competed on an equal footing the WebGL tools (including Flash-like, newbie-friendly frameworks) would be forced to get better than Flash.

I wonder if they're trying to scam baddies (who else buys copters in the black market?), they could deliver these copters with some final assembly required, e.g. to install the blades of the main rotor, maybe leave 1 technician with the clients, or just hire a technician who isn't in on the scam and let him be the discoverer of the bad news...

Alternatively, these are capable copter builders with parts which have "fallen off the back of trucks" in Russia (or even an inside group stealing parts from the official factory).

> And if that got people asking why they pay tax on their health insurance when they buy it themselves, or why health insurance costs so much in the US, all the better.

Or it might just lower the compensation package that autoworkers get and make other industries more attractive by comparison.

Employees that want to know can already figure out what their employer pays for. Health insurance tax subsidies have massively distorted the health insurance markets for decades and there is more access to this knowledge than ever before, but there have been no major efforts to reform this and sever health insurance from company sponsorship.

That said, I think that would be one of the best things we could do to lower health care costs quickly -- force all employers to shift their health insurance to the employees and increase their pay by the cash equivalent.
Try to cancel your newspaper subscription - you have to call in and jump through hoops.

I can do that online with a few clicks. (I do not subscribe to the NYT or WSJ). This is the same with most newspapers that are not the NYT or WSJ.

Try to cancel your cable or internet, you didn't realize the rate you got was a "promo" rate that required a two year contract?

I can do that with a simple call. My rate was not a promo that required a two year contract. I know this because they said so in big letters on the contract, which they're legally required to do in most states...

I guarantee that if apple used the approaches others use, subscription revenue would be a LOT higher.

TIL that if Apple didn't force trial periods to become auto-billed, revenue would somehow be higher. Instead of the more obvious result, which is that revenue is higher because people are being auto-billed after they forget to cancel. That is the business model of quite a few scams, and it's disappointing but not surprising that the Cooks-era Apple has embraced this business model.
