I don't even know what to say about this, if it's true.
It does seem a bit on the more obvious side... I usually use something that seems more obscure / less likely for anyone to stumble upon.
Sometimes I think the race is brought in by the elites to divide us. Bill Gates and Beyoncé have more in common than Bill Gates and an Appalachian coal miner. Also, a white Appalachian coal miner has more in common with a black inner city grocery store employee than they do with Bill Gates.

The biggest factor keeping someone from succeeding in the US, is intergenerational poverty, not skin color. Black and brown immigrants have high success rates in America, because they do not have intergenerational poverty. Black and white people from impoverished families struggle in America. The problems of black citizens in the inner cities are very similar to the problems of white people in rural trailer parks.

If we focused on dealing with the problem of intergenerational poverty, we might make a lot of progress in improving the lives of both black and white Americans. However, the rich elites of all races might see their money And influence diminish. So they use race to divide us.

Even if you had stage 4 cancer and would die
in a week anyway?

Why yes, then it might be more accurate to say that your stage 4 cancer killed you.

But now, consider: most people are not in the absolutely final, terminal phase of a deadly illness.

To what percentage of dead COVID-19 sufferers would a situation like that possibly apply?

A very tiny one, surely. That is why tallying COVID-19 deaths in this manner is acceptable and accurate.

It perhaps introduces a small amount of error, but is superior to Russia's method (which sounds like outright denial of reality) and the error % introduced is in any event, is at least an order of magnitude (if not two) smaller than that posed by the number of undiagnosed COVID-19 cases.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic#Modern_era

"The locality with the largest absolute number is Glasgow with 5,878 such persons, who make up over 10% of all of Scotland's Gaelic speakers." Of course, they all speak English and many if not most nearby town names are of non-Gaelic origin.

But throughout the Highlands and Western Isles, Gaelic toponyms do dominate, with no English equivalent, e.g. here, not far from Glasgow: https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=a58ce425-2098-47f0-b9e0-8bc90...

> but apparently some people don't actually feel emotions, they infer them from their own behavior. My therapist seemed surprised that the sensation of sadness is an abstract feeling that I experience, like you would feel pain or coldness, and the same goes for all the other emotions you might feel. The idea of getting in touch with your emotions is like getting in touch with a punch in the gut.

That's what that phrase refers to? I've never even heard of that before. "An abstract thing that you feel" has always been what emotions are to me.

Earnin | Senior Android Engineer | Full-time | Vancouver, Palo Alto

Earnin is building a financial system that works to enable people, not profits. We’re fed up by the fact that $1 trillion is held up in the pay cycle every year, causing American workers to pay over $100 billion in fees and interest.

I'm the Engineering Manager hiring for this role. You'll be working closely with iOS and backend engineers, data science, designers, and product managers. We are mobile-only. Our Android App is up to +60% Kotlin and most new code is written in Kotlin.

We are looking for:

• 5+ years Android experience
• 2+ years Kotlin experience (I know this is rare, but generally we're looking for a strong Kotlin programmer)
• Strong knowledge of Android Architecture Components, MVVM, etc
• Strong knowledge of Android Studio and other profiling and debugging tools

That's only dubiously a net advantage, even historically, of HK for the PRC. It's instrumental in some of the business advantages, but it also contributes to it's big political liability for a national regime for which the law is a convenience, not a limitation.
Section 215 is the major one. Allows government to obtain secret warrants for surveillance via a secret court system(FISC, FISA).

Lindsey Graham(R) tried to extend this- but Trump has been somewhat vocally against this extension due to his own allegations that the FISA courts were misused to spy on him.
Huh? I don't see anything wrong with that. If you search for an image and Google shows you that photo on a stock imagery site, I'd count that as a win -- they've correctly pointed you to the source of the image, rather than a downstream licensee of the image.

> The purpose: making sure the all-in price for the product, including tax and shipping, matches the listing on its Google Shopping platform or in advertisements. It wasn’t to cause angst to merchants due to thousands of abandoned carts.

You'd think they could have better identified themselves in accounts they were creating rather than creating this mysterious "John Smith" persona. Maybe "GoogleBot PriceVerifier" would have been a better choice.

edit: remove my inaccurate confusion about something, and fix quotes that I'd copied from a plagiarized version of the article.
#1 requires fitting another AOA sensor vane. This is not being done. It would void the existing type certification, at which point the reason to avoid a clean-sheet redesign is gone. If they could have designed a new aircraft around the more efficient engines at the same size and have airlines buy it they would have. But without a 737 type certificate Southwest (their largest single customer for 737s, Southwest only flys 737s) won't buy and many others will be more reluctant to buy.

#2 is being changed.
> App2Container (A2C) currently supports the following application types:

> 1) ASP.NET (.NET 3.5+) web applications running in IIS 7.5+ on Windows. A2C packages these applications with Windows containers.

Do people actually run Windows containers successfully?

Right now I'm working with get ASP.NET apps into containers, by first getting them ported to ASP.NET Core and then into Linux containers. The decision to skip Windows all-together was made before I joined, but I'm a nix guy so I don't complain.

One of the hiccups I've encountered on Linux is the lack of support for Windows Authentication. It gives you AD backed SSO basically for free (as a developer) - you just need one line of config to turn it on and the magic of IIS solves it for you.

We moved to ADFS instead, which worked well. But I'm guessing there are many of these deeply integrated services that make Windows containers attractive.
I've had some surprisingly good feedback experiences in recent interviews.

One was at a 40,000-employee global tech professional services firm. I got feedback from each interviewer filtered through the recruiter at each step along the way, sharing both positive and negative. This process ended in an offer I didn't accept.

Another recent interview process at a FAANG ended in a rejection. The recruiter followed up with me and informed me which interviews were considered a pass and which were a fail. Each interview had several components, and the recruiter was able to tell me which components were the cause of failure in the one interview, and what to focus on in any future applications to the company.
it's too bad really, the long-haul price competition they created on their routes was fantastic
They have been for decades! Most scene releases that are packed will include an SFV file that contains the checksums of each of the package files so that you can check the file integrity.

Obviously those can be repacked and faked so you'd have to check multiple sources to ensure you get a genuine release, but yeah the scene groups are as usual way ahead of everyone else.
> The Aquila drone was soon grounded and, within two years, the entire program scrapped

Gee, it seems bonkers to scrap it just because it had a problem on a test flight, right? Presumably it was scrapped because they decided that it wouldn't be profitable, not because they couldn't fix whatever made it crash.
There are several styles of beer that can be stored such that they continue fermenting in storage and become a final, drinkable product by the time it gets connected to a tap-so this is HEAVILY dependent on what kind of beer you’re making, it’s not really applicable as a universal statement for the storage of several kinds beer. IPAs for example can last quite a long time if properly store (up to four weeks I believe?).

Beers brewed in casks obviously have a different fermentation cycle than something brewed macro systems but storage is less of a problem than you may think for brewpubs and gastropubs, generally speaking. Wits can last for a while if properly stored and rotated (physically as in turning the keg on end), for example. But even then, casks aren’t ideal for long term storage in many cases, and not all beers are suited for storage in casks as opposed to say: steel kegs.

There's a lot of truth in your response. My own personal feeling, from my visits to the country from the 90s to the present, is that in some ways the day-to-day life on the streets of Shanghai seem more free than America. It seems like the government has been mostly laissez-faire toward the individual people, so long as those people leave the oligarchy alone.

The thing is, it's very much a pendulum. The Cultural Revolution, when my wife was growing up, was one of the worst times. The couple decades starting in the 90s was relatively quite good. The thing is, since Xi took control the pendulum has been swinging back in the other direction. That's most obvious back in Hong Kong, but is also evident within the mainland, as reported by family members and we can see ourselves through online interactions (e.g., on multiple occasions my wife's WeChat comments have been censored).
Fear-mongering is strong. Look at all the freedoms we lost after 9/11. Pedophiles and terrorists and porn are always the scapegoats.

It is also a very electable sound bite. Everyone is against the "bad people". Re-election at any cost is the goal. We have government of the people and by the people but we stopped being for the people long long ago.

Good point. However, most web developers starting with JS tend to come from PHP with its &$variable reference-passing magic.

I seem to have chosen my wording badly, since I did not mean (labeled) blocks, but indeed the expression body (which may have been referenced in the book as a ”block”, too lazy to check).

It doesn't say it was fine - nor that it wasn't reprimanded or that they weren't told to stop. ...only that it ultimately continued anyway.

We shouldn't jump to conclusions. If it went to legal, I would venture to guess that people were at least told to cut that shit out. Legal isn't very tolerant of these things because they know there's liability exposure even if it's not illegal.
> This bot is simply trying to get the final price (with tax and shipping) which is ridiculous because e-commerce storefronts should do that in the first place without going through the whole checkout process.

It's usually not possible because you don't know how much the shipping + taxes are until the customer enters the billing information.

No, I worked my way up from deckhand to chief mate on deep sea cargo ships. Got my master's ticket in January (finally).

The crew don't generally resent it - I'm friendly and approachable, just distant. I shut them down when they ask personal questions, but I listen if they want to talk about their problems. In a public area. With the door open. The rest of the time, I study, work, eat and sleep. It helps that I'm usually on 00:00-0600 & 12:00-18:00 watches, so I'm working during two meals and sleeping during the third.

Where there's a practical reason for physical contact, of course I touch people. Apart from anything else, I'm often the medical officer, but there's a difference between, "Help me with this mooring line," and, "I'm having a bad day, can I have a hug?" Even if I really could do with a hug.

And the types guys who do get in a huff about it? They're invariably the same personality types that make that rule necessary.

I've been a Windows admin before but now on an app support team running almost all Windows systems as an analyst but came from a poly sci degree. My Linux experience is homelab and a few work connected systems over time like a Ubuntu Server box that managed IP cameras on site. My experience with coding is mostly Windows automation via PowerShell and its built into Windows IDE as I need a dev role here to get like Visual studio. Even then it would be overkill for what I'm writing like temp cleanup, file transfer, monitoring, etc with my recent success was a script that checks every day for a set of reports we should have received and ingested overnight and lists what is missing then emails that info to myself and another team member. Super helpful to double check the business has the reports they need at the start of the day and get us a head start troubleshooting.

With that in mind, I've used VIM for probably under 10 hours total, mostly for editing config files within headless Linux installs. For example, setting a static IP in Raspbian so I could SSH in once I put the pi somewhere it was online but not physically accessible. VIM is really neat for stuff like that. I'd love to have more reason to learn the interface but barring a weekly use I'd quickly lose familiarity and am focusing on javascript functionality as one of our apps can run js scripts.

So for quickly editing files with a known structure like setting an IP address in Linux or updating code you understand, I can totally see how VIM is amazing. Lightwight, almost always there already so standardized, quick to navigate when familiar, and more. As a fairly novice level coder I'll stick to an IDE with scroll ability and a mouse/etc for coding, even for a slight update to something I wrote the previous day. I'm just not confident in getting it right the first time and know how to test or trial/error a command in an IDE much easier than CLI. If I was trained and focused on coding I bet I'd be way better at that stuff too.
I said

> The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says the benefits of circumcision outweigh the risks.

You said

> Not exactly.

And then proceeded to write up why you believe they are wrong.

I said

> I agree there's some room for argument as to whether it should be recommended or not, but

and

> I'm sorry, but... they do. Literally and unambiguously.

You replied, once again, indicating why you believe they are wrong.

To be very clear here...

1. They do say the benefits outweigh the risks. Period. That they say this is a fact.

2. I'm not arguing they are right. I'm saying they say it and a lot of people value what they say.

3. I also think that comparing it to FGM is patently absurd, but that is completely orthogonal to your argument that they didn't say what they very clearly did.
Yeah but you still feel like the machine's working, right? you get this immediate crunching or a light blinking immediately.

I said that throughput is significantly worse, for sure.. but when I open a program theres about a second where it seems like my computers doing nothing at all..

Websites too, click a link and it seems like nothing until the page goes blank and starts rendering the new site.

Most laptops don't have harddisk indicators, all indication of work has gone away, and rendering it to the screen takes time- and isn't often followed anyway.

I wish iOS would add subscription management to the Wallet app instead of tucking it away in three or four different places.
Makes you wonder whether the smart thing to do is just make it convenient for the bots to get the info out so they won't ruin your data and waste your bandwidth. Can't fight them, join them. Can't really stop free information flow.
Sure, but I think the U.S. even worse. It's basically right-wing (Democrats) and off the spectrum (Republicans).
One could argue that is a measure of success. How many resources were wasted building tactical nukes during the cold war? In this sense, I'm glad they were wasted. Sometimes the threat is effective without execution.
