Genocide, accidental or not, is surely still a thing.
Sorry to hear your family member is struggling with getting medications. Are you based in the US? Purely anecdotal, but I work in an academic medical center and there have been no issues with steroid shortages. If your family member is having trouble to the point of not getting meds, if they live even remotely close to one, they (almost?) all have pharmacies that can fill scripts and I believe hydrocortisone can be prescribed for 90+ days at a time.

Less anecdotally, I’ve seen several COVID based guidelines recommending mail-order scripts — they are less geographically constrained, pretty much always on time and can be filled for similar timeframes, no standing in line etc.

Hope things get easier for your loved one!
Sure, I'm not saying that it's reasonable to prosecute the neighbor for the prior act of building on someone else's land (though I'm not sure that's a crime; at worst I expect it'd be a form of trespassing, but would otherwise be a civil matter). I'm just noting the weirdness that the legal status of the property was changed through an initially illegal act.

But I guess on second thought maybe it's not that weird? Like if I buy stolen property from someone, and I have no idea that it's stolen, and the original owner comes along wanting it back, it's actually now legally mine, and I'm under no obligation to give it back.

But that's not exactly the same, because in this case the original owner has been harmed, but making the original owner whole would then harm me (an innocent bystander). In the case of the real property issue, "giving back" the land would only harm the person who "stole" it in the first place.

However! If the original "land thief" were to sell the property to someone else, then you're in the same situation. The new owner bought it in good faith, expecting the fenced-in area to truly belong to them, not knowing that the original property lines were drawn such that some of that property actually should belong to the neighbor. So then acknowledging the status quo means hurting the neighbor, but transferring the property back means hurting the new owner (an innocent bystander). At least in this case, the new owner could perhaps sue the old owner for misrepresenting the size of the land.

> Giving the executive this power

I think you mean the legislative branch, since you say "Congress".

Although the way most "law" is made now, Congress delegates so much of the details to executive agencies that the executive arguably does have the de facto power to re-interpret the laws passed by Congress.

Hi, I'm a computer musician. I just had a quick look at the book, but this looks like a really nice resource! I'll put this on my reading list for summer.
Regarding JavaScript, either you avoid manipulating dates and just pass them to the server in ISO format, or you use a library like Moment.js.

The native API's are a disaster and using them is just asking for trouble!

Oh it's 14 eyes now. Germany is still in there.
An eye saver with this ultra lightweight 16" USB-C travel monitor I picked up.

On resume from suspend the monitor always dims down to some ridiculously low setting, and without `ddcutil` I'd have to manually adjust the brightness via hardware toggle. As a workaround for the limitation of the monitor I just have a bash script that invokes `ddcutil` on resume from suspend - wonderful :)
OTOH if flying becomes more rare, then the only demand left will be from people with deep pockets. Maybe the only way there is a market for supersonic jets is if all the other long haul routes go bankrupt.
Otherwise you could wake up and discover that a structure you built 30 years ago on land you thought was yours now isn't. The adverse possession law exists to prevent surprises like that.
> They're a business not a charity

I think maybe the world is starting to feel like companies that take more than they give back are ultimately parasitic and abusive. For a long time it has been considered completely okay to maximize profit over all else, but if corporations were people they wouldn't be very community oriented peoples. Much more on the manipulative and greasy gross spectrum, and maybe that's just going out of style?

Also, they kind of were acting like a charity, so that could be part of it too.
I think it's more that human nature lets you justify a lot in the act of self-preservation. When it advances your career, it's so easy to say "if I wasn't writing this code, then it would just be the next programmer in line behind me."
I completely agree, but it doesn't help me hit the code coverage goal foisted upon me.
We must inspect your assumption that the Senate is unfair because States differ in population. I believe this assumption reflects an inordinate weighting of American citizenship above State citizenship in the union. Historically it could be argued that State citizenship is central to the Republic, whereby territorial governments voluntarily entered the Union as a State, where in exchange for subjugation under the Federal, the State's insterests would receive equal representation in the Senate.

The solution is not to remove the Senate/House combination that balances the will of people and the will of States, but for larger states to break up into smaller ones.
This article takes an awful lot of words to say not much, and it is entirely speculative on any of the details of the alleged syllabus revamp, as "The U.S. Navy has stayed tight-lipped about the specifics of its new Lightning II syllabus".

Every comment about the content of the syllabus is speculative:
>"Other changes the F-35C is likely to bring to the existing TOPGUN course include.."
>"It’s very possible that TOPGUN has introduced tactics that.."
>"The long-range BVR engagements are likely to be where the biggest changes have come.."
>"The length of the course suggests that the F-35C syllabus likely follows that of the Super Hornet in terms of core elements.."

All it is really saying is:

TOPGUN has graduated its first two F-35C pilots. Under current structures, these pilots will return to their units, and likely share some of what they've learned. Their training was likely based on the existing Super Hornet training but redeveloped to suit the F-35C, which serves a different combat role.

The rest reads like some bastard child of an undergraduate essay and attempts at SEO.

I resent that so much of the web has become this amplification of an ounce of signal into a ton of noise.
Sorry for stupid question but I'd imagine this ruling means the State of Oklahoma (and therefore all counties and cities/towns in Oklahoma) never had the authority to bring criminal cases against those Native Americans in tribal lands?

Would action of Congress mean any such criminal convictions stand? If yes, would that be a violation of the Constitution of the United States?
I expect with radiation it's really just the pilots having to deal with it day in and day out that are over their exposure limits right? If so, maybe automating it so the only people on the plane are the passengers would be a good move.
If you can't admit that the behavior has increased in recent times then there's no point in discussion
It's actually a lot more complicated than that. Tribal law is mostly for intra tribal criminal cases, and does not have jurisdiction over people who aren't members of the tribe or when a crime is committed outside a reservation. So, going from having a relatively small portion of a state, where most people were probably part of a tribe to having have a state in that status makes thinks very complicated for law enforcement. It's not like the tribes just randomly took over half of Oklahoma and established a new state. For most people, Oklahoma will still have jurisdiction over them.

The range perhaps doesn't allow this now, but if we could make the really, really long flights much shorter it might be nice. Being confined in a tin can gets old for me after hour 12.
What’s wonderful about a free, liberal society is that we can all make our own choices. For example, you can work at a business that operates more like a charity, while I can choose to work at a business that is laser-focused on maximizing profit. That is just my preference.
And the people with really deep pockets already have a jet. ;-)
It seems apparent to me that making google apps on iOS any better than necessary to maintain google dominance is not in line with Android competing with iOS. The author seems to not accept that Google doesn't particularly like iOS and would love to have a full monopoly on mobile OS systems. Apple probably even loses more by kicking Gmail app off the ios store than Google does.
This says the opposite, as well as being more recent. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/pew-research-c...

This sounds like the reason Bertsimas at MIT published his new book.
I said "refined", not "concession".

I have explicitly encouraged poeple to read the rest of the thread.

Your choice to characterise my doing so as a "sophistic device" and "deceptive" is your own.

I continue to encourage people who are unsure if my attempted summary is appropriate to read the whole of the original thread and draw their own conclusions.

Well you can use the same materials and manufacturing process that you intend to use for the full scale model, and know that your carbon composite body holds up as good as the simulations.
Nah brah. (I'm gonna say "brah" because I'm feeling especially salty)

Your _program_ should have the flow of a function. At the architectural level, who-the-ef cares about about static vs instance methods in Java (I say as a person with 23 years of Java experience.) It has nothing to do with languages. You can do this in any language you want.

You want to have your inputs go through a process where you have (1) INPUT state transfer, (2) some computation F(INPUT), (3) some output and state transfer, or RESULT = F(INPUT).

If you do not have (1) or (3)--I hate to break it to you--but all your program does is burn CPU. If you don't have (2), your program does nothing at all.

The key thing with scalable systems is they manage complexity well. If you're at the level where you're worried about "static or instance methods", you're not dealing with how data changes in large systems at all. Those words are at the level of state within a language.

You need to optimize at the global systems level.
Britain and France also definitely explicitly paid for Concorde.
Like I said, I'm friends with the manager and he was the one who told me about nearby stores being hit with a box-of-bricks return.

Looking at the authentic model I eventually got, it's in three parts with the outer shell a glossy black and and insert that's slate colored with vent panels for passive cooling. And a Seagate logo inset that doubles as an power/activity light. The bottom has small rubber feet and the sticker with model and serial number on it. They didn't have another drive in stock to do a side-by-side comparison with, but I couldn't notice anything that would have tipped me off it was a fake. Even tried prying at the seams to see if it came apart any easier and it was held just as firmly as the real thing.

If you really wanted people to read the whole thread you would not have shortcircuited the process and replied upstream. That is what I mean by sophistic and deceptive. It was disingenuous of you to assume I would approve. You should have asked if you wanted to summarize my points and we could have come to an agreement but instead you did something (posting upstream and summarizing and pretending to speak for me) to derail the conversation and actual conclusion (which was actually inconclusive).

I was civil throughout this discussion and I don't appreciate how you ended it.
TLDR It’s due to manufacturers using feedstock (denatured ethanol) not typically used for this use case. Ethanol typically sourced for hand sanitizer is filtered with carbon filtration to remove unwanted impurities that caused the odors in question.

To address the "empty Concorde" problem, Boom is explicitly targeting a 50-seat business class layout with similar seat cost per mile. Filling 50 comfortable seats is an order of magnitude easier than filling 100 uncomfortable ones.
There are churches that "sell" marajuana and sometime other drugs this way. It really depends on the location how much it is tolerated. In California before recreational it was mostly tolerated. In states without even medical I think it is usually busted quickly, but you know, results in a court case, maybe they are busted a few times, things are kinda ambiguous, and they sometimes hang around for a while. They often have a connection to Native Americans, often just like, a few people who are Native American involved in the organization spreading what may or may not actually be traditional beliefs.
How many years have we been saying that now?
Likely due to the disruption caused by the pandemic.
The whole protest-the-cops thing is baffling to me.

Prosecute bad cops, sure. Throw the book at them. Their time in prison is sure to be horrible.

But run-of-the-mill, protecting-your-neighborhood cops? They are the good guys and gals. Without question. CHOP and Atlanta have shown us how self-policing pans out.
Reminds me of a certain piece of land that Britain has a 99 year lease on. Hard for them to end well without a contractual option to extend under reasonable conditions.
The drives are filled with helium. What happens when the helium leaks? I assume the drives will slow down or fail instantly.

iPhones use MEMS-based clocks that fail when exposed to helium. Are any servers, NAS devices, or laptops also susceptible to disruption from helium?
It takes a lot of faith in law enforcement to believe they won't abuse that power, especially given they are the target of criticism by these protests. The argument that it is illegal for them to abuse / misuse this information isn't very compelling either, given that they are the ones responsible for enforcing the laws that they would be breaking. I might be okay with this info just ending up in the hands of the FBI, but I definitely wouldn't want it winding up in the hands of my local law enforcement agencies, who are known for harassing and intimidating critics.

Yes it can hurt resale prospects, the longer into the lease you get. At the same time it can also lower upfront acquisition costs. Something to know when you get into it.

According to this interview, he's Jewish: https://www.contagious.com/news-and-views/sleeping-giants-Ma...

I wonder what the reaction would be if the subtitle was instead "How my Jewish male co-founder gaslighted me". Would we be okay with that?
It’s funny, the episode is set about an hour out of Pittsburgh, and having grown up also about an hour out of Pittsburgh (although south instead of East) I really recognized it. Of course the episode was over the top but still you saw crazy things out there.

Not too long ago I saw this news article https://www.wtae.com/article/pennsylvania-attorney-general-s... for example and this town is quite close to where I grew up.

The author's obsession with her cofounder's race and gender seem entirely irrelevant to this article; repeatedly using the words "white male" is racist and sexist.

> At the architectural level, who-the-ef cares about about state vs instances methods in Java

Who-the-ef should care is anyone who has to implement or maintain the code. After all, the debate at hand is what is worth unit testing, which very much concerns the programming language and the actual implementation. Don't know about you, but I both architect the system and write the code.

> If you do not have (1) or (3)--I hate to break it to you--but all your program does is burn CPU.

I haven't written production code that doesn't have (1) or (3) in my 25 years of programming, so not sure who you are talking to here.

> If you're at the level where you're worried about "static or instance methods", you're not dealing with how data changes in large systems at all. Those words are at the level of state within a language.

You have to tend to this stuff at both the generic data processing and language level. Using a given language's constructs for differentiating between stateful and stateless code is an important part of making the code document itself.

Coding style matters.
What you argue for matters as much as how you do it. I don't see anything wrong with criticizing people who advocate for racism. Peaceful marches for racism doesn't make racism just, you know.
I was making the point and deleted it because of the kind of misrepresentation that you just made. I was making a point about vague and emotionally charged language and you took it in a negative direction. So I deleted the message to prevent further associations and misrepresentations of what I said.
I think a sort of understated factor here was the messaging associated with the company and its lofty mission statement - which seemed like it was to kick off a technology movement on the African continent. If you watch the ad in the video they claim to want to "make Africans into global technology thought-leaders" and create an impact that "goes beyond their lifetimes."

They tried to brand themselves as an agent for massive social changes when in reality they were just another consulting company - big name investors notwithstanding. If I got fooled by their PR BS I wouldn't be too pleased.
I think this is a example of fire fast, hire slow. The fact is they saw since 2014 that their "Bench" had to many junior engineers. I find its not money but a lack of opportunity that breeds complete resentment in people, and thats exactly how it played out.

The only line that disturbed me is this one.
“Why is it the private sector that needs to come in and innovate? Why can't schools, governments, etc, do that job?”

If I had any advice for these junior engineers is for one of them to start their own company to solve this problem because an individual can solve this problem not a government. Life's hard but it would only take one of you to find a solution to make at least some of those people life easier.
sure, and "consumer" filesystems/databases were also pretty bad. ext3 was only released in 2001, and Windows supported FAT system disk since at least Vista. the "standard" OSS database was MySQL until at least 2010, if not later. I argue 2020 is different though. despite the onslaught of mongodb 'engineers', data reliability is far better than it was in 2000.
That's a really good question, and I wonder as well.

I tend to believe that land is just different from things like manufactured goods. There's a fixed amount of land (modulo landfill and such), and we all have to live on it. People disagree as to how land should be used, and people believe they should get a say in how other people's land is used because land is a common good.

Land isn't fungible; some people would prefer waterfront property, while others would prefer to live in the woods, but at the same time most people would prefer to live such that they're not too far away from other people, and from things like grocery stores. While there are certainly some people who do want to live remotely, that's not that common. Each plot of land is different, and one person controlling one plot of land means everyone else is deprived of that particular plot.

So we basically say: "ok, you can own this land, but you have to use it in certain community-approved ways, and you have to actually use it; if you don't, we're going to take it away or require you to sell it to someone who will" (ok, the latter half of that is vanishingly rare). Or maybe "if someone else starts using it and you can't be arsed to notice, we're just gonna let them keep using it". And maybe that's not all that unreasonable, despite what I've said about this type of law being bonkers?

But a bicycle is just a bicycle, and the supply of them is effectively infinite. If I'm not using mine, there's no bicycle limit such that my "waste" would cause someone else to not be able to use a bicycle. They can simply go to a store and buy one, an identical one, even, if they want.

The same doesn't hold true for land: me owning and doing something (or not doing something) with a particular plot of land means that no one else can do something with that specific plot of land. If it's undesirable, or in the middle of nowhere where near-identical land is abundant, perhaps it doesn't matter. But if it's in a highly-desirable place where space is limited, it might matter.

(And thus we have the philosophical basis for housing crises.)
"Probably" doesn't seem strong enough. I mean, the only thing that would give you any hope of avoiding being sued out of existence leaving nothing but a small greasy spot behind would be obscurity and commercial irrelevance.
The biggest time sink when traveling between continents is the jet lag. A faster jet doesn’t fix that, it only costs more and pollutes more.

Unfortunately, "innocent until proven guilty" is rarely what cops in the US believe. In most cases, they just care about making arrests, not about finding the actual culprit.

There is a common misconception that the boom happens once while accelerating through the speed of sound. In fact it happens continuously while traveling supersonic. The Concord mostly (only?) flew transatlantic mostly for that reason. The US military hasn’t always been shy about continental supersonic flight. I grew up near Beale AFB where the SR71 was stationed and hearing a sonic boom was not an uncommon occourance in the 80s.
