I'm sure most of the officials are in their pocket. others just won't mess with their business. if you aren't going to play by their rules they will make an example of you.
It may not be 'like this' in scale compared to Mexico, but drug-related organized violent crime is a thing in Canada.

Not in this case. That is the oversimplified emotional response you see in the comments, but it doesn't jive with reality. Let's say you are the COO of Hertz, making 300K salary and 1M in options. The shareholders vote for Chapter 11 and those options are now effectively worthless, so your income decreased by ~70%. Are you going to stick around and try to dig out the company without a retention bonus?

Given that the shareholders are doing Chapter 11 and trying to turn the company around, there is nothing wrong with them voting for retention bonuses to try to keep the company rolling. The problem is that the system enables shareholders to do Chapter 11 without the debtors having a say in it, when the problem is typically debt.
This is basically saying they posted credentials and login information that allowed you to change the recovery email of any account a slack channel.

That is unbelievably sloppy on Twitter's part. Not acceptable at a tiny company. I would fire everyone involved with posting the credentials if that's true.

That said, I'm not convinced this story is true but it does add up.
I’m a layman, but the paper reads more like a series of assertions. Maybe those assertions are self evident for an expert in the field (Id love if someone could reply with follow up information if that’s the case), but it just doesn’t seem to present actual evidence to back up the claims.
I believe cocaine is a bit easier than meth, though I'm no chemist. In any case, you're certainly right that it wouldn't kill the black market, but it would still weaken it (I edited my post on this point, sorry for the confusion).

What if there is never a vaccine, or what if there is one but it takes years to become available, or what if a large portion of Americans refuse to be vaccinated?

We can't base our policies on wishful thinking.
It's nice for listening to music, but a bit cumberstone to use.

I wish:

* the playlist was easily accessible from the left pane drawer

* autoplay was easily toggleable from the playlist view

* the automatically added title wouldn't be a regular title in the playlist before it's played (a bit lower and grayed, and adding items would do so above that title)

* the playlist would show various options for the next automatic title.
A large part of the cost of illegal drugs comes from all the effort needed to avoid law enforcement along the supply chain. I'm sure a legitimate operation could save enough money from being able to just have large scale production and delivery in the open without having to hide it to make up for a few % of tax.
Why wouldn't space based solar power work for the moon, when the concept is discussed for earth?

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power

Only thing i can think of are decaying orbits because of irregular mass distribution.

But when thinking of such concepts, why not plan for some station keeping expendables? It's not like were talking about some feeble pebbles thrown into orbit there like we have done up until now...
It also continues to be unable to win wars against insurgents hiding in mountains. Winning is hard in general.
The poor Mexican person isn't getting their face cut off because of some person doing drugs. They're getting their face cut off because of the government's failure to accept that it can't win the war on drugs, and it's too proud to sue for peace in the form of legalization.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"

If you make a claim that's wildly diverging from established consensus, yes, you're required to bring overwhelming evidence. Because the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of the claim being wrong.

There's no point in relitigating everything from first principles unless you can make it extremely clear it's worth the effort.
It was a misconfiguration we applied to a router in Atlanta during routine maintenance. That caused bad routes on our private backbone. As a result, traffic from any locations connected to the backbone got routed to Atlanta. It resulted in about 50% of traffic to our network to not resolve for about 20 minutes. Locations not connected to our backbone were not impacted. It was a human error. It was not an attack. It was not a failure or bug in the router. We're adding mitigations to our backbone network as we speak to ensure that a mistake like this can't have broad impacts in the future. We'll have a blog post with a full explanation up in the next hour or so — being written now by our CTO.
I wish languages used let to mean a lazily evaluated named expression. Then you can define all your terms that can depend on other lets and only the ones needed in the executed code path get executed once.
Not necessarily well, but definitely with more focus. One 9/11 - you get a united country (for the first year after at least). A 9/11 equivalent every couple of days - "but I don't wanna wear a mask!"
Scared means you think you got caught doing something wrong a lot of times. It's an admission of guilt.
It _is_ derivative of React hooks... but that's not a bad thing at all. (And to be clear, I'm deeply involved in the React community myself).

Tools and libraries are always influenced by what's going on in the ecosystem. New features and concepts in Tool A inspire something else in Tool B, etc.

The React team came up with something reasonably novel with the hooks API (but with its own set of prior art [0]). There are several aspects to hooks that folks have expressed concerns about, but overall adoption has been positive and rapid.

The Vue team looked at React hooks, saw something that seemed like it could be useful for Vue's API, but came up with their own spin on the idea that makes them better fit the Vue use cases and design philosophy.

I don't see any of this as a problem - sharing ideas and improving DX is a _good_ thing.

Almost anything else. iOS devices use the same protocols as things like DSLR cameras to allow plug-and-play access to download photos and videos (unless, ironically, you have iTunes software installed and it gets in the way). However, there is no equivalent to let you browse and locally download messages, notes, creative work, or any other type of data you might have on your phone with using one of the channels I mentioned before.
How well armed are they? I know a common refrain against the 2nd ammendment is that guns don't matter much against tanks, helicopters, missles, etc.
Or even IP firewall? Hell, our admin panel can't be accessed outside of our physical office, save for VPN.
Yesterday CloudFlare took down some of our products because they (not us) misconfigured some DNS thing. Kind of funny to see it happen again a day later.
The growing season is too short.. also hard to Get to Canada from Mexico.
Correct. It's basically the same relationship large financial interests have with the US government. When financial interests have enough influence, they become too big to fail, meaning any "corruption" by the big players is ignored, and so isn't really corruption anymore so much as a part of government policy.
That would be pretty interesting. Being able to drill down into individual pieces of a stack would be very informative, especially from a parent source. I bet a lot of services would even have that information readily available in their documentation for APIs.

How comfortable are you with open source? If you were willing to release your stack on Gitlab/Github, it might be worth your while.
My like or dislike isn’t the issue. Let’s just correctly price the externalities.
They do, especially in Toronto. They just don’t advertise it. They’re also not on the way from the major cocaine producing region, Peru.
"Nobody wants to try to turn around a bankrupt company at their old salary (with their old RSU's and options now worthless)."

So they quit, and the company goes bankrupt on a different timeline. Why should either society or shareholders accept new bonus declarations?
It is, however, very difficult to prove that it was the executive who actually got you that extra growth, since there's no control group and many variables. Executives will claim victory for any profits and blame outside factors for any losses, making it impossible to really know if a different candidate for half the salary would have done just as well.
The article addresses your point about the drug trade:

"Stories like this are unfolding in industries across Mexico as criminal groups branch out far beyond drugs. Cartels have siphoned millions of dollars’ worth of fuel from Mexican state oil company Petróleos Mexicanos or Pemex in recent years; they steal cargo and pilfer lumber. The tentacles of organized crime extend even into Mexico’s avocado growing regions, where gangs extort farmers and hijack loads of the green fruit."
As a 15+ year Yogi (who practices regularly, well at least until C19!) I've never heard of these either!

According to Wikipedia:

* Hatha is seems to be a branch of Yoga (Hatha apparently means "force")
* Ashtanga is another type of Yoga brought to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and involves synchronizing breath with a series of positions.

Interesting ... I'll have to look into them!
You could say the same for opiate users but there's regular reports of kratom use amongst them.
Kratom is just a herbal tea.
if they reintroduce user streams I'll be pleased, if they ease off the per-app user limit I'll be elated. it doesn't really mean anything if they promise such and such policies or initiatives otherwise we'd all be holding our breath for bluesky. what's important is what they actually end up doing, which I guess we'll find out next week
Discarding the other reasons (one of them is I only use FOSS on my phone), it wouldn't be worth it for my very occasional use of YouTube...
Missing the synthetics, they have uncovered vast laboratories in Mexico in the past 10 years. Most of the precursors come from China
This is a giid example of someone who's amazing at UI/UX trying to help those planners..

It's insanely nice, done very well from a quick glance. I;m just not sure the audience you're looking for.. Not a dig at it. Just an observation from experience.

Those who I've worked with usually are either set in their ways or want something very structured. Linking, related items, cross teams etc.

Honestly I would work with this if it was a small team, 1 project, and more UI/UX guys..

Again I love the look and feel, it just seems (to me) that your audience wont accept it.

If you ever want work though, DM me. This is sensational.

Is it open source ?

Dr Fauci said it better than I could, so I'll just quote him: "hahahaha"
FWIW, legal items are also trafficked by cartels in Mexico. See: https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/blood-guacamole-me...
The "war on drugs" dates back to the 70s or 80s, starting from either the Nixon or Reagan administrations (depending on which way you look at it). Even if we take the 90s as a starting point, that's an entire generation lost to pointless violence. Entire governments corrupted by the deluge of narco profits.

The "cross border gun trafficking operations" you're referring to involved about 2k guns, of which 1/3 were recovered. Terrible bungling, surely, but a drop in the bucket.[1]

The CIA/Contra cocaine trafficking was probably far more consequential.[2]

The brazenness of the cartels comes from the insane profits they earn. They can buy off anyone, and if they can't they can hire anyone to get rid of them. And their insane profits are due to how scarce and illegal their products are in the US. Take away their economic base and they become far more vulnerable.

What do you mean - it says right there, they used a "technical device" - duh.
I've had bad experiences upgrading old iPhones. Usually the older os runs better.
I mean, this is specifically accurate but a useless metrics.

Its literally bullets/kill.

Modern urban warfare tactics include a whole lot of shooting where the intent is not to kill the enemy, but to make the enemy hide and reduce their ability to shoot at you.

The army also uses lot of ammo to train and stay competent.

Its similar to how most military pilots clock hundreds of hours flying for every hour of combat they experience.

Bullets/kill is like an extreme version of "game winning scores"/"all shots ever taken in a game or training"

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppressive_fire#:~:text=In%20...]
The ultimate example of this is Symbolics, the company behind the General Lisp machine. PhDs controlled the place and they ended up wasting gargantuan sums of money on building the "perfect" Lisp machine. It's still probably the most advanced OS ever designed and yet it failed miserably.

Like all things, balance is required. Engineers and finance people need to be on equal footing, to serve as a system of checks and balances. The when either group becomes to strong, it spells doom.

It's usually the finance types that win these struggles of power though (I'm not exactly sure why), so don't have as many examples of engineers destroying companies. Though, I think Google might be a good example of flaky engineers taking over and the bad that results from it.
>NY/NJ/CT all have the absolute worst outcomes so far.

They were also hit early in this ongoing pandemic and had to fight hard to get it under control. That red states are now ticking up is a sad commentary on their governance, which is a mix of hubris, denialism, and willful ignorance.

> Cases have gone up but deaths have not.

The average age of the infected is lowering, and they tend to survive.
that number is not very big

i used to host a wordpress site that has 5M pageviews a month on a $10 (and later $20) digitalocean instance.

that's wordpress and a shared vps. I imagine it could be a lot higher if I have dedicated server and use self-written software.
That's a good one, did not know that. Interesting read.
Not doubting masks help, but do they have an example of a country that refused to have masks and had a 100x higher death rate?

Seems like many intelligent people have pointed out how the projected death rates were...unreliable, to say the least.
Yes, the app downloads, but then the message still shows up. It's not a phone/os problem, it's the app makers forcing users to only use the latest version.
The story is so real.

It is a surprise if they do not just do the slow kill. The donation one is great as it looks harmless. I bet those may not be aware that it is fake. And if there are messages enough ...

It could be a bigger news. Luckily it is not nation. But if a kid can do it ...
I like you. I tend towards pyrhonism (or maybe I don't!) so I appreciate that response.

Degree of proof is a relative: Maybe a terror organisation use PIA, NSA go fishing for evidence PIA has nothing. Terror org assassinate NSA head. PIA could be a front, but NSA head had to be willing to lose his life to hide the fakery, and terror org wasn't a big enough fish ... more likely you're currently in a coma. Lots of places for false premises to creep in.

Dial it back, is there a point where there'd ever be enough evidence?
I wrote a playlist generator that uses related artists map found at music-map.com and last.fm to generate a YouTube playlist of artists you might like based on the supplied seed.
The paper literally walks you through the sequence of published research which demonstrates that scientists have successfully performed chimeric virus manipulation that could explain the observed genetic components present in SARS-CoV-2. The technology is hiding in plain sight.
If the natural pathogen causes blood clots, everything else you described naturally occurs as a side effect.

Or just stop using the internet. The majority of tech problems stem from people using tech. Don't rely on it alone and you don't have problems.
Luc Montagnier's theory is inconvenient in two ways: 1. it suggests that academic research concerning viruses is potentially catastrophically hazardous and 2. he predicted that the pandemic will dissapate all on its own because the manipulated aspects of the virus will not survive long.[1]

These are truly fascinating claims, especially the second, which despite the credibility and stature of the source, have been targeted rather than reported by traditional media outlets in the U.S.

If you read the whole comment, you will see we are probably in agreement. Corporate chapter 11 bankruptcy laws are too powerful, and shift too much power from creditors to shareholders, imo.
Journals are where scientists present any sort of evidence that is backed by sound reasoning, meta-studies are where overwhelming evidence tends to be presented.

If it were any other way, then where would scientists publish underwhelming evidence that is crucial for accumulation in order for overwhelming evidence to appear?
"The other thing to keep in mind is that the 'huge' bonuses usually aren't very large from an income statement point of view; if you bought an extra 0.5% growth (or savings), it was easily worth it."

It's hard to prove a counterfactual, but it's only worth it if said person is the only person who could achieve those results.
Isn't heroin legal in Sweden? I mean, legalize it all. Some people will definitely get hurt and be thrown into a spiral of addiction, but having rehabilitation and counseling programs seems like chump change compared to the drug war boondogle.

What if he is correct? Or what if it would be exactly the other way around? We simply don't know because no one is "allowed" to do that kind of research. We found genetic reasons why some type of cancer are more common in some people. We see all kind of other differences that are genetically. Form hairs on the head to the foot shape and toes. Differences between people are obvious. So how likely is it actually that the brain is the same for all? It's only racist if you think people should be treated differently or have different rights. Its not racist if you find differences just like it isn't sexist if you find difference between man and woman.

Do you have an Android version of Mindset?

If not, can you point us to the "pre-recorded sessions from a well-regarded psychologist who practices hypnosis" that worked for you (or similar)?
I would assume that stops you from getting any value out of your history, but does not significantly hamper Google's tracking.
Like a cornered animal, if someone is acting jumpy you don't know what they might do. If it helps, imagine you are a police officer and you stop someone for speeding on the highway... You are just trying to give them a fine, but they are acting really weird.

You might start thinking: does this guy have a gun? Why isn't he doing what I expected? etc.
I understand your impetus to tell others to 'stick to your lane' but I respectfully disagree and cite their post and your response as why. OP had what you deem a misapprehension and they deem a valid point. By voicing their point as they believes it, you were able to retort with evidence you feel should convincingly disprove it. To me, this is reasoned, diverse discourse correcting for unintuitive misapprehensions, at the very least. Is this not a medium like HackerNews is for?
Not American but you do realize it is THE geopolitical conflict of this Century right? I would give everything to see China not win it.
It came out in the Oracle lawsuit that Android had only made Google $23 Billion in profit from its inception through mid 2016.

https://www.theverge.com/2016/1/21/10810834/android-generate...

Google pays Apple a reported $8 Billion a year to be the default search engine for iOS. The profit from Android isn’t even enough to pay Apple.

YouTube is thought to be barely above break even and streaming music has horrible economics for the platform. Look at Spotify. Google Music is third behind Spotify and Apple.

Who pays for Google Photos? You get free unlimited good enough storage.
Because geography. Do you think it is a coincidence that every country between Colombia and the US is struggling with these problems?
You should really read up on BGP. It really is that flimsy.
All this is a reasoned argument - but advertising really sucks, it’s either overtly irritating you or covertly brainwashing you with visuals and voices you would never naturally care to see.

Plus, the democratised ad platforms have led to random scummy people running their disgusting scams on forex trading or get rich quick schemes, or tech products that don’t work etc. being able to get in my face while I’m at home relaxing. I’d want to see that problem fixed.

Example: I love Apple products, I’ve watched dozens of hours of Apple product reviews - and I often like what I see, and end up buying. But I still “Skip ad” on Apple ads - because ad content really sucks!

So as a modern civilisation we must find a way to sell products better than the current state of the art in the ad industry.

If you stomp it down enough then a few relatively light measures (masks, some distancing, some contact tracing) are enough to keep it down. That's what's happening in Europe right now. Sure, eventually everyone would be infected at least once given infinite time. But that doesn't matter, what matters is how many people get infected before a vaccine is developed and widely deployed.

It does include a built-in "play to kodi" feature, though, which fits my use-case better, personally.
