Well if you don't use it to defend democratic values then I'd say you don't deserve those guns. The 2nd amendment was literally a hedge against these situations but many of those strong believers in the second amendment are conspicuously absent and probably side with the right wing fascist elements. Unfortunately many if not most gun owners seem to be entirely ok with eroding American democratic values and freedom so long as the other side "gets what's coming to them".
We should have part-time remote jobs (20 hours per week). Something like maintaining WordPress website or designing mock-ups with Sketch. Too bad these kind of jobs are rare.

Can confirm this comment. Residents earn ~60-70K/year (usually close to 60K) and work ~60-65 hours/week (not 80 hours/week; there's a bit of exaggeration in that number). My wife is a current US medical resident and we have a lot of friends who are at various US residency programs.
> no idea how I would know whether this is fundamentally amazingly better than what I have now, if I were in 1978 for example.

For the start you should define what role you imagine you had in 1978.

Do you imagine working in some company that should decide which CPU to use for their new computer? Then the decisions were made exactly like now: you'd first consider the options with which you are more familiar, of for which you already had something "prepared." Second, you'd also want to avoid the option for which you have learned it has some weaknesses.

That's what moved the people in charge of building the first IBM PC, for example. They had experience with Intel, and also experience with developing using Intel chips.

In his previous post Ken linked to the text "A Personal History of the IBM PC" by David Bradley:

The text is very informative, but behind a paywall.

Here's a TED talk by him too, which has the context explained for the public who aren't professionals, also nice it its own way:

Cargo pants are not the only pants with side pockets. I suggest that you take a look at hiking pants.

Hiking clothing is my preferred kind, even if I am not hiking. Here are some arguments:

- They tend to look neutral. Not flashy like other kind of sportswear, and not as obvious as cargo pants.

- They are comfortable, reasonably durable, and low maintenance. They are made for hiking after all.

- They tend to have plenty of pockets, including ones in the location recommended by the article.

- Zippers on pockets are common. Makes them safer. They usually have some sort of water resistance too.

- Speaking of water resistance, it is another great feature of hiking pants, they often have a hydrophobic coating (that doesn't always last unfortunately) and are designed to dry quickly. Rain doesn't only happen during hikes.

Of course, their neutral style is a negative if you want to make a fashion statement, but in a casual setting, if you don't care and don't want others to care, this is perfect.

I'm surprised that someone hasn't been shot yet. Unmarked camouflage officers in unmarked vans that do not identify themselves as officers sounds like they might get shot at if they try detaining the wrong person.
If you're selling to business customers you just need to demonstrate value, it doesn't have to be technical e.g. "Our new generation of chips will save you a dollar in power while finishing in half the time" etc.

Computing hasn't changed all that much since then, people haven't at all: for those in the know we have benchmarks, for those who don't we have regular marketing.
Blue denim jeans pretty much are cowboy cosplay. That’s why they got popular and why they remain popular. The close association with Marlboro Man rugged outdoorsy “masculinity” is an enduring part of their appeal. Even if people aren’t consciously aware of that association driving them when they appreciate a pair of blue denim jeans decades of advertising has undoubtedly inserted that stereotype firmly into the commmon (sub) conscious. Even the premium Japanese denim brands play with the semiotics of denim as “honest” or “rugged” or “no nonsense” or “not fancy” all of which are tropes drawn from the mid-century American ideal of cowboys as a picture of perfect masculine achievement.
Ok, I've deleted it.

To say they're not compensated is a fundamental misunderstanding of such a relationship, when it's really very simple: there is a pool of tasks that need to get done, and between the two partners there is a division of labor on who performs which tasks, often with at least a little overlap. If the person who works for pay happens to mop the floor at home, is that "uncompensated"?

Take a relationship where both people work, mine: My spouse does laundry. I go food shopping and cook. To say that either of us is uncompensated for those tasks is a complete misapplication of the term, and a gross oversimplification that attempts to reduce the rewards of effort to solely lie in the monetary realm.
That scam's existed since the 1960s:

Murder has generally always been illegal, yet it hasn't stopped murders from happening. Making new gun laws about how many bullets you get from your military service or how you can transport them won't stop criminals from using them to commit further crimes.

As someone else pointed out, you can still buy ammunition in Switzerland. There's plenty of access to guns. The difference is absolutely one of culture, which is what my point was.
2x cancer survivor here. It's not a binary choice. The melanoma was chopped out and I was closely monitored for 10 years. Would have killed me in a year or two if I did nothing. The colon cancer was chopped out through an 18" resection and I've ridden 10 centuries in the three years since. Spent two weeks in the Canal St. Martin neighborhood of Paris with my partner. Had a bunch of other lovely trips, remodeled the house, cooked a thousand lovely meals. Nope, I think if/when the crap comes back, I fight it again.
Enrolling others in a belief system is one way of confirming to the "enroller" the validity of their belief. People want other people to agree with them.

For CPU you have hotplug and quota scheduling; for memory you have hotplug and ballooning.

But when you say "the price would vary according to how much RAM or CPU resources you use" you get into the real complexity: resource sharing. If your VM temporarily gives up some RAM, can another VM use that RAM? This is very hard to do, because the provider doesn't know when/if you'll want that RAM back. They don't want a physical server to get into a situation where the RAM demand is higher than the installed RAM because there is no good solution to that scenario. If you're running hundreds of "micro" VMs/containers on one server you can rely on statistical multiplexing and luck, but it doesn't really work for large workloads.

A provider called NearlyFreeSpeech has been charging based on "the use of one gigabyte of RAM for one minute, or the equivalent amount of CPU power" since even before EC2 existed AFAIK, but I suspect this complexity is more scary than attractive for most people. https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/services/hosting
If there is anything I would say is going to hurt California Even more (frankly it already is), it’s available affordable housing and the ability to build it. I understand that Prop 13 (I believe it to be 13) was passed for reasons that felt very real at the time, but it’s created a system that devalues heavily the otherwise natural churn of home ownership.

I don’t personally think it’s taxes, or any particular brand of politics (per se, as I know this is a political issue, I just mean relative to this), but that, in essence, that is destroying California slowly from the inside. Both Oregon and Washington are similar politically and Oregon is very close in taxes but they aren’t seeing any population outflows like this. I firmly believe it’s due to the issue of housing before any other factor.

I’m trying to gather more data to back my assertion but all personal experiences of people I know and others I’ve met who have moved have cited this as one of the major or the single biggest reason for having moved
I think the trick is actually getting such regulation passed into law. The medical industry has considerable political influence; attempts to reform it will doubtlessly run into road blocks unless you manage to convince doctors that reform is necessary. That's the tough nut.
I’m no lawyer, but the article implies that the purpose of the lawsuit is not to seek compensation but to stop the Federal Government from continuing these operations.
>"In multilevel marketing companies (MLMs), member-distributors earn income from selling products and recruiting new members. Successful MLMs require a social capital structure where members can access and mobilize both strong and weak social ties. Utah has a disproportionate share of MLM companies located in the state and a disproportionate number of MLM participants. We argue that Utah's dominant religious institutions have led to the emergence of a social capital structure, making MLMs particularly viable. Utah is the most religiously homogeneous state; roughly half its population identifies as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The LDS Church's institutions foster a social capital structure where (almost all) members have access to and can leverage social capital in all its forms. LDS institutions encourage members to make meaningful social connections characterized by trust and reciprocity with other church members in local neighborhoods and across the world."

I intuited this interesting relationship when I worked in Utah for an MLM in 2007-2008.

But MLM's and LDS -- is not the end-all understanding of that relationship!

You see, if you wanted the bigger picture, the larger understanding, you'd compare the above things with Corporate Hierarchies, Government Hierarchies (foreign and domestic), Social Hierarchies, Financial Hierarchies, and even such things as the hierarchies of Ancient Rome (probably the biggest MLM (and later in its history) Ponzi Scheme that ever existed(!), in that the earlier you were a settler, the more you were rewarded (earlier settlers and their descendant families became Rome's Patrician class, at the top of the social hierarchy), while latecomers to that party got increasingly smaller shares of land, property, privilege, etc. ("Those who are tardy do not get fruit cup" -- to quote the Mel Brooks film, "High Anxiety" <g>))

Also, you'd clearly define MLM Vs. Ponzi schemes -- they're basically the exact same thing, except that one has an underlying good, service, or something of value which is fairly exchanged, whereas in a Ponzi scheme, the underlying good, service or value either doesn't exist, or exists only in a partial, malformed state. (That is, the value exchange in transactions is asymmetric -- due to fraud of some sort...)

But let's kick those understandings up a notch!

Let's throw some gasoline on that fire!

To this ecclectic mix, to really get an understanding, you'd throw on some Jordan Peterson, specifically what he says about Dominance Hierarchies in society!

And then to season it, you'd add to this some Adam Smith, who can probably be said to be not only the guy that codified Capitalism, but could safely be said to have been the ultimate master of games relating to anything having to do with finance, but more broadly, with the broadest definition of capital.

Basically what Sun Tsu was to War -- Adam Smith was to Capital, in its broadest definition.

So, if you really wanted an understanding, you'd take all of these ecclectic ingredients, mix them all together, season, heat and serve!

But this article is a great first step in that direction!
I wish I'd looked for more opportunities to work with and learn from more experienced developers instead of being so overwhelmed by imposter syndrome that I was terrified to take a job where anyone who knew more than me could judge me.
The chip doesn't need networking, it needs to infect existing firmware with networking. The motherboard/nic firmwares already have that. Nor would it necessarily be limited to the IPMI side nic as they imply. Steganography could be used to get through firewalls on net facing NICs. The part about "most sensitive code" wrongly assumes that means on storage devices and not motherboard firmware.

As for the size, there are no commercial lithography methods with that capability, perhaps. It'd be possible to put significant capacitance and logic in a very tiny package with advanced lithographic techniques, say like gates printed into layers of a small cap? Yeah I'm getting really out there, but to say there's nothing so interesting in the highly compartmentalized world of spy tech is to make a claim in ignorance, naturally. Unless you're in a position to say precisely what technology they have, in which case, please contact me privately, since I'm curious. ;)
Where I thought they were headed was the somewhat more obvious conclusion that the church _is_ a MLM organization.
"My Swiss friend in town told me as far as he knew Switzerland still people keep fully functional assault rifles at home but those who have them need to show up for three weeks of training each year and show up at a shooting range twice a year. (He left a few years ago so anyone actually living there now should feel free to correct this.)"

That's new law due to Schengen. If you had a gun before, you don't need to do this. Three weeks is probably the compulsory military service.

A healthy discussion starts by acknowledging bias, racism, and misinformation. All of which have been widespread on this issue (Covid-19).

Now, this thread goes further by continuing to relay the conspiracy theory that the virus is man-made, not least when the paper concludes by claiming that the burden of proof is reversed and that it is the natural origin of the virus that must be proven.
I probably came across as a bit too rant-y. I'm not blaming anyone for using frameworks and I use them all the time myself. And I'm definitely not criticising Krita for using Qt.

Qt, as most frameworks, simply has the ability to get you stuck between a rock and a hard place. It's all a bit of a gamble of course. Similar to writing plug-ins for specific programs or apps targetet at app stores for a living. Someone can just decide to kick you out for no reason. I'm sure Qt doesn't intend to do that, they probably just want to do right by that almost-all-programs group. When you're that popular, ANY decision will hurt a lot of people.

What I'm trying to say is that I wish there was more of an effort in the programming community to avoid these asymmetric relationships. We already make a huge commitment by deciding what programming language to use, which often already comes with a built-in framework or standard library, a package manager and maybe even an IDE. For example, in the .NET world you have to constantly keep up with Microsoft's latest ideas on how to complicate the ecosystem by introducing yet another thing that is supposed to solve all problems at once, including those introduced by the previous attempts. If you're already in one abusive relationship, the last thing you want is two abusive relationships.

If your chargeback rate is that much higher, this is the cost of doing business. Don't like it, use another provider. Many will kick you to the kerb, or hike your rates if you're as bad as Stripe suggest.

Get your bank-initiated refund rate down (provide some obvious customer service) and you'll get better terms.
Medical schools are biased towards wealthy students. Poor students don’t look at them as say, “huh, let’s make no money for a decade and get tons of debt”. Making the process longer and more expensive ensures that poor kids don’t have a chance, while also allowing universities and hospitals to milk the students for as much money as possible.
Depends on the quality of the average parenting skills.

Some people believe that it is possible to transcend consciousness and improve the lens through which we observe and interpret the world, but I'd say this theory only strengthens your argument.
I would change "fill a need" to exploit. The reality is that these are women are underpaid as you say and have no other option than work for a multinational company with little or no compensation, just to pass time. A similar thing happens in third world countries, where MLM companies exploit the fact that many people cannot find jobs, and then provide "jobs" with no benefit and little hope of career improvement.

I'm in Seattle now, but when I moved, I considered California or Utah as places to work. The reason were purely driven by the geography of the land itself. Both California and Utah are beautiful places. And they have cities which are fun and interesting to live in.

California turned me off, because it just seems like it has reached max capacity, there's just too many people living there. Utah lost to Seattle for other reasons.

I guess my point is, I think all I cared about was the geography and temperature profile, and the lifestyle the place would bring me. The actual company I'd work for came after these.

So in my opinion, Utah is doing well because of its geography, same for California. People just like it there.
thanks for the warning. reading comments first always helps.
Yes but many things are a mystery beyond consciousness (thanks due to being conscious and able to reason) Like for instance whats beyond the universe? What dimensions are there? Is there a why to its [the universe] coming into being? Is there a what to it? And so on.

The exact reason your funds are being held is because you have a large amount of chargebacks and that is stated in the notice. This may not be any fault of your own, but your customers for some reason have decided that they want their money back and contacted their credit card issuer to get it back for them.

Stripe, and all merchant processors, play in the financial world. They are doing risk mitigation in case your company can no longer fulfill these chargeback obligations as ultimately they would be on the hook.

I know you are mad at Stripe and understand why. They make it so easy to take payments, but we are in very interesting and different times right now. My industry has been identified as high risk and we have seen rolling holds like this and/or longer payout schedules. A different merchant processor would act the same if put in the similar situation of high chargebacks. The best you can hope for is finding a merchant processor willing to take on more risk for you.
I wonder if that’s due to everyone ending up in bubbles on FB.

I can’t prove it, but it seems to me that a social network where the social graph is optimized for minimizing physical distance has more potential to encourage good behavior.

I’d also note this has been done successfully before, for example with non-denominational churches. Of course some basic shared religious beliefs help, but I’d argue that many/most of congregants who attend regularly are primarily motivated to do so by the social aspects.
