Minor nitpick, just so people reading get more complete information on your example.

Very few states maintained their supply of medical equipment properly. Likewise, the federal government hasn't restocked much equipment since the early? Obama administration. Unfortunately, it just wasn't made much of a priority. Of course this failure was made even more devastating due to massive global misinformation leading to late decisions and poor communication by entities that should have been more trustworthy and better equipped.

With that said, the states rights debate is a tough nut to crack. There's been so many instances of (various) governments doing evil things that I'm not sure I'd want to centralize even more power.

It's an extreme example, but I liken it to letting a Mao or Hitler take complete control for the benefit of a better healthcare system. The cost is just too great.

Seriously, Albert? You spent 7 years and "E = mc2" is all you produced? We need to talk.
Because the original parent comment is using an analogy to aviation terms, and depending on a more than cursory understanding of the limits of an aircraft autopilot. I am willing to make a monetary bet most members of the population do not understand the precise limitations of an aircraft autopilot, though I admit I have not conducted a poll to verify this. I also think Tesla likely named it this to differentiate it from the competitions systems, and in my eyes it is pretty obvious what distinction they were aiming for most people to make.
#2 - This was just a big distraction to get the ADD media to forget about Russian bounties on US troops.
Good. This kind of advertising is misleading and was not only posing a risk for individuals but also for the sector of autonomous driving as a whole.
I always feared that one more Tesla autopilot death might cause the public to generally distrust any company working in the field.
And what I said is that's not how iMessage works. The receiver only visits your page if they click the link.
Cheers, a few people of suggested this. As you note, it rather depends on the amortization period.

At the moment it assumes 1 year for training costs to be amortized over, so I guess one-time purchase would be similar - configurable assumptions (or at list, visibility into the assumptions) is on the list of things to do.
The election of the current president is part of a currently-elected congress, and an appointed judiciary, emerging from larger cultural and economic trends, that all play their role in giving rise to our current situation.

This moment was caused by more than the election of Trump; it will need to be resolved by more than the election of non-Trump.

Yessir, Mr. Belson!
As I said: they _literally_ said, "There are too many Chinese and Indians" in the Bay Area. That's a no go.

That is not the same as having subjective internal biases about an African American candidate.
I know nothing about this, but from what you're saying it sounds like the more contagious a virus is, the milder it's symptoms are? Is this usually true for all viruses or did I just misread your comment
It may be a good idea to fire someone who participates in that behavior, but there isn’t a legal obligation to do so (IANAL).

If the behavior is because of your race and they aren’t fired, you can (successfully) sue your employer. That’s the difference.

In her letter, she asserts that behavior that fits the first scenario is illegal- it’s not.

According to a Forbes article:

> The number of international students enrolled in U.S. universities declined again in 2018-19, extending the slide in enrolled international students to a second year in a row.

> That’s one of the main takeaways from the 2019 Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange, which was released today by the Institute of International Education (IIE) and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

However, the linked report starts out:

> The number of international students in the United States set an all-time high in the 2018/19 academic year, the fourth consecutive year with more than one million international students.

> The total number of international students, 1,095,299, is a 0.05 percent increase over last year, according to the 2019 Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange.

I think that author is more dev than ever ops, a year to try to support the project not on dev but on prod in highly available configuration could make eyes open
I live in LA now, used to live in Sunnyvale (right next to San Jose), and have made that drive both directions.

In my Model 3, it takes 1 stop, for 25-30 minutes, at the Kettleman City Supercharger. Good time to grab a snack, use the restroom, and pretty much get back on the road.
They are reliant on these students for income. They are directly harmed by the policy. Therefore, standing?

No. Support is a pyramid where each node should try to solve the problems they can before an escalation.
Yeah exactly, and we can also pick the features we need in a language. E.g. C++ is super complex after C++/11, but we can still just pick a small subset to make it easier.

In 2015, total population of Japan was about 127 million.

“Based on the results of the medium-fertility projection, Japan is expected to enter a long period of population decline. The population is expected to decrease to around 110.92 million by 2040, fall below 100 million to 99.24 million by 2053, and drop to 88.08 million by 2065.”

In other words, a 30% population decrease over 50 years.

Did you ever noticed that gas is priced down to the mill even though those coins haven't circulated in a long time? Most people don't even know what they are.

I think it would be a fine to drop the penny and nickel from circulation, just let it become an obscure unit.
The problem, I think, is that the article presents all of its views as almost self evidently true. If you distill it down, the complaint is that etcd added gRPC.

I think it was a good move for an infrastructure piece like etcd to add gRPC. Now I can just grab a generated client in a language of my choice. There's certainly valid critiques of gRPC / protocol buffers but I've found things like gRPC and Thrift to reduce complexity in applications that use them, because there's a thousand interpretations of REST out there, not to mention the crazy things people do with 'simple' HTTP, such as long polling, which introduce implicitly complex semantics into something that is on the surface quite simple.
Trump administration rescinds rule on international students studying online

The courts proved exactly the opposite. The system of checks and balances worked. I don't follow your assertion.
There’s no way defend against your accusations. It essentially boils down to “you’ve been brainwashed.” You’ve already decided your viewpoint is right and anything against it has read too much Chinese language news (whether true or not).

The “manipulation” you speak of is more hypothetical. If anything Facebook has done more manipulative harm thus far.

One way to think about this is what exactly would TikTok have to do to satisfy your accusations of them “manipulating” people? How does Huawei stop spying on Americans? If there is no answer then you can see not only how it is pointless to argue, but that your primary motivation is actually to prevent the shift of power, rather than based on any actual infractions by Huawei or TikTok. So should the Chinese just sit out of global economics because they could threaten US dominance and potentially spy on or manipulate US people? The current dialogue is centers on future power, not on any actual abuse of power by these companies. Not like the US actually spying on Angela Merkel.
Rather than an integer number of lines of code, how about using a boolean : "it works" or "it does not work"? or "Does it meet the spec" or "it does not meet the spec"? Even a mediocre manager should able to test that one out.

Code is often improved by removing code.

> If you're a postfix person, you can use + or -, with recipient_delimiter.

Even better: postfix and dovecot (as of v2.3) now both allow specifying multiple recipient delimiters. So if you run your own mail server you can specify as many recipient delimiters and switch between them if websites are being picky.
Oh this reminds me of what went from one of the most infuriating questions I would get asked by investors to one where I almost wanted to bait them into asking it...

"Why/how is this worth X dollars/time? I know someone who says they can do it in a week." To which, I eventually learned to reply: "Wow, well... In that case, let me shoot you an article on how to build a Twitter clone in 15 minutes. [awkward pause while I smile at them] There's a lot more than just literal lines of code that goes into building a successful software product."
It all seems like a position of a dev not ops.

Bari Weiss Resigns from The New York Times;
The thing that I found very important in this game is that there is no clearly defined end-goal like “survive for 100 days” - this really helps the game capture the feeling of “will this never end?”

Having a defined end date would make things easier psychologically.

There is also a board game (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/188920/war-mine-board-ga...) that I’ve heard good things about.
A good commit message can also help to explain why the two lines of code took so long.

This idea that a newspaper should report on all opinions as equal is beyond ludicrous. The idea that all opinions are equal is incredibly stupid and harmful to society and its members. Not all opinions are equal. Some are worthy of being reported, some are not. Some are well thought out, by educated people, who actually want to arrive at a reasonable opinion, while others are completely illogical nonsense, created out of hate or spite. In this particular case, the NYT can make a compelling case that Cotton's opinion was the latter. It's not unreasonable for them to not want to publish it. It's not censorship either. There are plenty, less reputable newspapers that publish such garbage.

For some reason, people think this "two-sideism" is balanced, fair reporting. That couldn't be further from the truth. Presenting flat earth rantings alongside scientific data showing the earth is round is neither balanced nor fair. It's just nonsense. It removes any signal that exists and brings into question the mental capability of the reporter who thought that such things should be presented in an equal light. The same can be said in this and many other cases, especially when dealing with the president's insane ramblings. Newspapers, if they strive to provide news and not just ad revenue, should be making it clear when the opinions provided by the people they interview are batshit crazy bordering on insane. When Cotton suggests bringing in the army or Trump suggests drinking bleach, those suggestions should be published with a heavy dose of skepticism and context clearly marking them as hateful or wrong. It seems Weiss wants to shirk those duties and just provide readers with a bunch of nonsense that masquerades as a thoughful opinion but is nothing but a hate drive call to violence.

Fun in Quebec: a 14.975% tax rate¹. The tax can be rounded per line item or on the total.

Lots of top tier universities are already opening foreign campuses. Future students will just end up there. This move accelerated the rise of foreign top tier mind work at the expense of that work in the USA. Couple this with the antagonistic stance by the administration to foreign highly capable workers and you have a recipe for a tech softening in the USA.

This is good for the world. Part of me sees this as a cynical ploy to tear down others' futures to support the base. I do think the US needs massive education reform, costs are through the roof and large universities are farming foreign students but this isn't the way to do it.

You know, I'm trying to steer this towards a conversation. I guess I missed the mark. But I am undeterred. I will still try to pull something educational out for myself.

According to the knowledge I have humans born with two X chromosomes have a cervix unless they have a generic abnormality or have a surgical procedure to remove the cervix. Humans born with an X and Y chromosome do not have a cervix. There may be humans born with different chromosome arrangements that do have a cervix, but I can't find a lot of, or any, medical research on such. If there is, I would like to read about it. That's what I'm asking.

Again, according to my knowledge, humans can designate themselves with whatever noun (woman, man) and pronoun (he, she, it, etc) they wish. That means that humans who designate themselves as man can have a cervix because they picked the designation and that designation does not designate a set of reproductive organs.

Education is not obtuse. Language had become complicated. Social norms have become complicated. I'm trying to actually get an understanding from various sources.
Whether or not they know it, this administration is constantly floating out test balloons for outright evil nonsense... and I think some of it slips through simply because everyone's exhausted by it.

It's going to take at least a decade to fix what they've broken at this point, and if they end up appointing just 1 more Supreme Court justice it's going to take the rest of our lives.

I still see people (people I know exist and aren't bots!) saying they aren't voting for Biden on Twitter, and I'm honestly not sure how they're interpreting reality. They're not saying it, but I suspect they think that the destruction of the country would be a good thing. Like some sort of imaginary revolution is going to rise from the ashes.

There are two things you should ensure while self-hosting:

1. Always have independent and automatic data backup. A storage medium attached to a raspberry pi is plenty enough

2. Always choose a setup that you can deploy and migrate trivially

It wouldn't matter what the hosting provider does if you have the power to pack up your bags and move elsewhere when they misbehave.
Again, it was an opinion held by 58% of America (using military to quell looting and property destruction), by a US Senator.

Note that many streamers do not use a webcam, or don't show their faces on camera. Some do use a camera but still conceal their basic personal information.

There are benefits to streaming. It somehow makes you productive, because you don't want to look bad in front of your audience.

Plus, there are smart people on Twitch. A lot of lurkers that do not stream have an impressive amount of knowledge.

Money-wise, it's not worth it. The category that has the most programmers, "Science & Technology", has only 2,000 viewers at a time on a good day. That is very little compared to other categories. If you want to make money, publishing YouTube videos may be way more profitable than Twitch.

It's unlikely I'd ever share livestreams of my coding, but I do think there's value for any craftsman to watch recordings of their work.

I think you'll be surprised to see what deficiencies stand out as an observer that you've probably come to just live with due to complacency/habit.

Have you driven a Model 3? It's like night and day. Everything that burns gasoline feels like a dinosaur to me now after driving a Model 3. I can't stand renting cars, they are all complete junk compared to my Model 3 at home. I said this to a Hertz in Denver, they gave me their best Jaguar. It stinks, it is slow, it is pathetic. It's basically game over for ICE, and they know it. They have 10-15 years maybe but at that point, nobody will be buying a gas car, because they're disgusting, expensive, unsafe, and slow compared to an EV, and everyone will know it by that time.

ICE is rapidly going obsolete, and Tesla is making money digging the grave.
No, and I doubt ICE can either. It's normal in this stage of a lawsuit to just throw out every argument you can brainstorm regardless of whether it makes much sense.

Regular non-pro Threadripper has officially supported ECC from the start: https://www.amd.com/en/products/ryzen-threadripper

But is Lane Assist equivalent to Autosteer? I own a Model 3, which also has Lane Assist as a separate feature. I'd say it's a gentle nudge, while Autosteer has full control of the steering wheel (with a fairly high resistance).
