Your comment prompted me to read the actual "research paper", vs the press article.

The article is correct. The paper is filled with hyper-leftist demands. You read the summary, not the actual paper.

Here are some quotes:

[we demand] "Explicit plans to carry out health and safety protocols without resorting to punitive policing and punishment"

"No standardized testing infringing on instructional time"

In the section about federal funding:

"Medicare for All: Coronavirus shows definitively why we need Medicare For All."

"Wealth Tax: A new tax on unrealized capital gains to California billionaires only, 1% a year until capital gains taxes are met. This would generate an estimated $10 billion a year initially"

"Defund Police: Police violence is a leading cause of death and trauma for Black people, and is a serious public health and moral issue.65 We must shift the astronomical amount of money devoted to policing, to education and other essential needs such as housing and public health"

It says:

"Because of the forces of structural racism, Blacks, Latinx, and Pacific Islanders in Los Angeles County are dying of COVID-19 at twice the rate of white residents"

"Meanwhile, U.S. billionaire wealth has surged by more than $584 billion. Over 150 of those billionaires live in California. There is money to safely restart schools, if federal, state, and local governments are willing to
finally prioritize pupils over plutocrats."

"No matter the scenario in August, it’s clear that it will not be a “normal” school year. But when “normal” means deep race and class fissures that result in increased infection and death rates in Black, Brown, and high-poverty communities; when “normal” means increasing police budgets even as schools, libraries, and public health face catastrophic cuts; when “normal” means corporations receiving trillions in bailout funds as federal commitments to support special education and high-poverty students remain unfulfilled; when “normal” means working families lining up for miles for food banks while US billionaires increased their wealth by over $584 billion — it is clear that going back to normal is not an option. This crisis presents an opportunity to create a new normal."
By the definition you'll find around here, yes. The word has an increasingly flexible definition though.
Unfortunately, it is real and highly profitable for people that will never suffer any consequences.
I think there is good intention - but what it becomes is people arguing online, saying things "what about their children."

But rarely is action taken. We've convinced ourselves that merely voicing an opinion is a heroic activity - while it remains an important one, it lacks the power of action.
I have read that this is how the NRA used to be. Focusing on training and safe practices. Only in the last decades that changed to where we are now.
I might be overly-critical thinking, but it sure reads like "well_that_sucks" is a sock-puppet account for the OP.
Ship more often, launch more often, learn to validate ideas sooner, have fun along the way.
> Namely, it was largely white LDS who bothered to actually settle the place.

I mean, this is eliding a lot of history, none of it pleasant and with no convenient villains. Mormons themselves were more or less forced there; they forced enslaved people to come with them making Utah the first western area with African slavery; they accidentally and purposely, violently displaced indigenous people who also actually settled there; and Mormonism held racism as a core precept much longer than most US religions.

"Nefarious" is a sadly accurate summary of two centuries of Utah history.
Qt isn't a compiler-specific framework.

The problem with Qt not using std::string is when you (gasp!) want to integrate with non-Qt libraries that do use std::string. It has nothing to do with what std::string offers or does not offer compared to any other string implementation. std::string was the string implementation for C++ since before Qt began, and by not using it for their strings, they delivered a significant message about their desire to integrate easily with non-Qt libraries.
Didn’t read the article but I met a Swiss guy at a hostel the other day. He told me how citizens can prompt a vote on almost any issue — almost a direct democracy, in his words. He said that a vote was successfully prompted to limit the gap between the salaries of ceos and low level employees. It was voted down. My only remark was that if the United States had a system like that, the country would promptly destroy itself.
I've been using notable for a few months now. Its really good for a basic note taking up but clearly theres a lot more in the pipeline that excites me :)
I wonder how pickpocket-safe they are because the lower placement would allow someone to reach my pockets without entering my field of view. I mean back pockets and the side pockets of cargo pants also aren't safe, but those trousers usually have the regular side pockets as a safe alternative for phone & money.
I made an App that shows you how you spent your time versus how you've plannedit
So, I searched months for an app/system that lets me see what I've tracked and what I've planned in 1 single screen with no results. So I had to build that solution myself :))

That's also neat, but I'm responding to you not calling them riots. Stay on target.
My mistake, I thought you were referring to the 600/week extra unemployment benefit.
Much of the original reason Silicon Valley took off as a tech hub where New York, Chicago and other dense cities failed, was that it appealed to engineers with families, who wanted a stable place to raise kids in comfort.

If SLC is trying to be the next SV, there's no reason to emulate cities which tried and failed to be tech hubs. Model against the winners.
See various replies, very likely fake.
I relocated to SLC recently after taking a new position in my company. It has been a very positive experience so far. Tech scene is bustling, a number of interesting meetups. From a geographical perspective, the mountains offer incredible opportunity for adventure. A mix of desert to high alpine.

I’ve lived numerous places domestic and abroad, and haven’t seen anything quite like the accessibility to adventure as is found in SLC. Trail/mountain running, numerous ski resorts, Park City (of Winter Olympics fame), rock climbing, mountaineering and backcountry skiing, etc. All within 20 minutes drive.

It’s surprisingly amazing how close to the city you can be and yet feel so far away. You can get ~6,000 feet above the valley within a few hours run/hike and see moose, mountain goats, porcupine, etc.

Also interesting is the number of outdoor gear companies that have offices here. Petzl, Black Diamond, Backcountry, etc.
It seems to be about both. You can find plenty of comments from gun advocates in this thread claiming that these protestors deserve what they get because they're probably anti-gun anyway.
More useful would be actionable advice on deprogramming cult followers, probably tied back to some psychological trauma.

My SIL just died as a consequence of her faith in alternative medicines. Magnetic blankets, some herbs, some homeopathic nonsense, faith healing, etc.

More disturbing to me is that my brother went along with it. Transmuted from aspiring to be the next Jacques Cousteau to full throated fundie (young Earth, creationism, own the libtards, COVID hoax, gold bug, etc). FWIW, we were raised Lutheran.

As kids, my brother held my hand during a bone marrow transplant. At some level, he knows the truth. But he and my SIL simply could not consider rational options. Not for lack of trying. Many, many people in my SIL's social circles and church tried to intervene. She simply ghosted most of them. And threatened to divorce my brother over it.

Being an unwilling participant in their self-destruction (caring for my nephews), seeing them in action on their own turf, I finally realized the root cause is almost certainly unaddressed trauma. My SIL talked about chemotherapy like anorexics talk about food. And I'm fairly clear why my brother is a basket case.

In conclusion, thank you for your suggestion. But ignorance isn't the problem. At least these two people who reject science are motivated by other reasons.
Legal and PR reasons mean CS reps would need to careful about what they say. This restricts a lot of what they could share
all of them?

you are not testing the treatment, you are testing the development of the cancer in the patient, regardless of which treatment they get.

simply test everyone diagnosed with cancer on a regular basis just like they get tested when they do the recommended treatment.

in other words, if someone refuses the treatment, don't let them refuse the tests as well.
In that case, I don't think anything really remains of your original comment in this thread? Your follow-ups have blurred the line between factual questions and normative, but in both cases the comment you initially replied to applies at least as much to things other than the presidency.

(I'll note that this doesn't mean there weren't interesting points worth discussing that you've been trying to get at, just that you've at least wound up unclear in how you've been expressing them.)
The op was talking about Walt Disney the CEO. Not the company of today.
Since 2012 we have, as a field, learned better.

You see, we all realized that just building code wasn't enough! What your 100 line JavaScript microservice really needs to be accompanied by is a build file that determines how to create an entire Linux VM. Also, because scale, your project also needs to know how to scale that VM out across multiple clusters!

The only answer of course is more build systems!

Oh but JavaScript sucks, so make that Typescript, so shove a transpiler in front of your scripting language. Because somehow we've gone down the path of needing build systems for interpreted languages.

I use all the above tech and get why it is there, but... seriously as a field this is the best we can do? :/

(I legit like Babel and TS, but you have to admit it is /weird/ that we're going through the complexity of having a build system but are reaping none of the performance benefits!)
Does anyone have more experience with Windows on IoT devices in general? I'm curious about this - it seems like it could be a real game changer in general for IoT. But if it is already available and not actually doing much game changing, I'd be curious to know why.
Timestamps vs hashes shouldn't be even a thing. Why does this even matter?

Sure ok maybe you touched a file and the timestamp wasn't updated (it should, and your tool is making things harder on you). Or if you're going by hash, same hash, same file. Period. (Unless you're doing something funny with file metadata, and then again, you're shooting yourself in the foot)

Same with some comments on the original article saying "tool doesn't return correct status codes for success/failure" well, maybe you need tools that work then

Most of the advice in the article is sound though
Would you consider comparing the results of a Lighthouse report?
Don't get me started on RAM. There's a whole lot of history there especially core memory.

But to answer your specific question, Intel started off as a RAM company and their first product was a 64-bit (in total) RAM chip [1]. Processors were a sideline compared to the RAM market until the mid-1980s when Intel bailed out of DRAM as Japan took over.

When Intel created a new chip process back then (HMOS through HMOS-III), they would first build a static RAM chip with the process. Once that worked, they would then use the process for microprocessors like the 8086.

For women the problem is worse since we are too curvy to use the exact location of pockets even when clothes are baggy.

I find the solution interesting even for women. I solved the same problem by putting the pockets horizontally at the waist. I will try moving the pocket down to the upper leg.
Anyone have Synesthesia? Is it a blessing or a curse?
Theory and practice are often very different things. It's not hard at all to find intelligent, educated people, skilled in critical thinking, who believe very wacky ideas, because those ideas strike some emotional chord with them, which leads them to simply not see contradictory evidence.
Could we just get 2D figured out before adding another dimension?

Because obviously all of your money isn't in a safety net, only some of it is.

It's idiotic the US would bar skilled workers of any category, but the story is even worse than blocking foreign medical students from (already far too limited) residency slots. Even if they were able to come here to train, there likely wouldn't be jobs waiting for them on the other side.

My wife is a chief resident at a top-ranked program in Emergency Medicine (Level I hospital with volume of 100k+ pts annually, multiple sites, etc.). Perfect USMLE scores, etc. She's good at what she does. A few years ago we considered her career fortunate because it is stable and portable: the demand for emergency medical care is inelastic and perpetual, and she could likely get a job almost anywhere paying a salary high enough to live comfortably.

She is finishing her training this year and just started looking for a job, only to discover a horrifying truth: almost no hospitals are hiring physicians specialized in emergency medicine. Let that sink in. In the middle of a global pandemic, when the medical system is overwhelmed by undifferentiated patients, hospitals are not trying to expand the number of doctors on the front-line. It's bananas. The reason for this is entirely financial; high-reimbursement procedures are not being carried out in adequate volume, and treating patients with COVID-19 is not revenue generating when a plurality are uninsured/under-insured and treated by mandate due to EMTALA. Medicaid/medicare payments barely keep the lights on, and there simply aren't enough insured patients transiting the hospital to support staffing up to respond to pandemic conditions. It's maddening. Universal healthcare would go a long way to solving the problem, but sacrifices will need to be made on the hospital side as well, with lower salaries for providers and (largely ossified and inept) administrators. The pandemic pushed hospital financials into the red. Physician groups in myriad specialties across the country have taken voluntary or required salary cuts to help the system stay afloat, but something has to give at a societal level. If we had better national leadership, this crisis would be an opportunity to rethink how we pay for and deliver healthcare in this country, but we don't, so it it's all a giant slow-speed car crash. The future is not bright unless we get the pandemic under control, but that too looks like a dumpster fire thanks to politicization of life-saving control measures.

If I were a foreign medical grad, I'd be smart to complete my training in any country other than the US—at least for the foreseeable future.

(and other countries, if you're listening: this is a great time to make it easy for high-skill workers from the US to obtain work visas and citizenship)

They're already kind of doing that with Nurse Practitioners. I used to have asthma, and for years I always saw a doctor. Towards the end, I rarely saw a doctor but saw a nurse practitioner instead. I strongly doubt the difference in pay was reflected in my bill.

I take no issue with it, but if Stripe moves to "fairly standard" processes, at one point do they become just-another-payment-processor?

As far as the really big players upstream from them were concerned, I doubt they were ever anything else. They still need a viable business model, and it's not unreasonable to protect themselves against a real risk. The problems here seem to be about how they communicated that and more generally the rather arbitrary and one-sided nature of these reserve arrangements (whether Stripe's or anyone else's) from the merchant's point of view.
They aren't unmarked - their camouflage uniform clearly says "POLICE" on the front.

To be clear, do not shoot someone with POLICE written on their uniform, or even anyone you suspect might be a police officer, because you will spend the rest of your life in jail.
This presumes that local law enforcement with the requisite authority to allow this, such as the county sheriff, has not assented to the Federal agents operating in their jurisdiction. Many of the complaints are coming from people (like the Mayor of Portland) that have no meaningful authority over the operation of the Federal government in their jurisdiction. And the people that do have authority are quiet.

It looks more like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, and the right hand doesn't need the left hand's permission to do it.

I don’t think patents encourage innovation at all in today’s world (and for that matter it’s questionable if they ever did). The main driver behind innovation is rarely monetary.

He turned to alt-med because it promised a cure without chemo -

"At the time, Sean’s doctors told him he had at least a 50% chance of long-term survival if he underwent chemotherapy. But after reading a lot online, Sean believed he could cure his cancer by detoxing and completely changing his lifestyle, avoiding the gruelling side effects he remembered from chemotherapy."

Though I agree the phrasing is inconsistent with what you found later on in the article there, this suggests that the alt-med community sold him on a 100% chance of survival without needing chemo, so he rejected chemo.

I guess we don't know without them saying explicitly, if he would have had the chemo if he hadn't found alt-med, but that's certainly what the girlfriend feels -

"My thoughts on alternative cancer treatments have changed, I believe it cost Sean his life."
My opinion: I think it won't catch on as windows is too bloated and doesn't bring much advantage to the table. As a matter of fact i got a RPI just to have a standalone linux box.
I wouldn't call it hyperbole. Men in fatigues, who decline to identify themselves as law enforcement, are grabbing protesters off the streets and putting them in unmarked minivans. There are videos of this. From the article:

> On July 12 a peaceful protester was struck in the head with an “impact weapon” and sustained severe injuries, according to the AG’s office. On Thursday, it says, “an unmarked minivan with undercover federal agents wearing generic green military fatigues” forcibly detained a second protester, who was later released.
> You're right, but it's also normal for people to be ashamed of getting scammed and not come forward

It's true-- but ... no one?

> Leaving those messages up for so much time (at least an hour) was unacceptable anyways.

They were actually still up many hours later and hidden for browsers only by javascript. Pretty remarkable when you consider that almost all of them had a bitcoin address or similar in them and could have been safely substring matched.

Actual phones are going out of fashion quite quickly. People want communication devices with several usage options, that once in a full moon work as phones too.

>"Police academies must change, too. Police are taught that the enemy is “out there.” When they arrive at work with that mind-set, they don’t know who wants them in the community, and who wants to kill them. It’s no different than troops in Afghanistan or Iraq. We are patrolling the streets of our own cities as an occupying force.

Our training also focuses on worst-case scenarios: how to arrest someone, how to fight, how to use a weapon. Instead, it should emphasize preventing escalation. Once you get to the point where you are having to fight, you’ve already lost. The question after a shooting by the police should not be “Was it legal?” but rather “Was it necessary?”"

How would they do it? Heck, how would you do it?

This isn't idle banter, nor am I trolling for a ban or an FBI watchlist. The federal courthouse building [0] is one of several stone buildings downtown, built out of massive blocks of stone on the outside, with a core of steel and concrete. This building is basically a block-sized stone. I've been inside it a few times. I would not characterize it as flammable in the slightest.

Additionally, even during peaceful times, the courthouse blocks are designed to be guarded. Each courthouse is inset from the street and there are stone steps giving guards the high ground. I have personally had an experience where I was walking past this building, and I looked up the stairs at the door, and I slowed down. Within about five seconds, the door was open and a federal agent was asking me what I needed, while I was still standing on the sidewalk. The sidewalks are covered with spaces for police and federal agents to park, and again even during peaceful times, ever since 9/11 there have been multiple federal cars parked around these blocks.

So yeah, on both "how oxidize building" and "how not get shot by feds", I'd rate this courthouse 0/10, could not burn it and I'd get shot if I tried.

The weakness with critical thinking is the old adage- the effort required to refute (or in this case question) bullshit is an order of magnitude greater than the effort required to create it.

Basically, a tidal wave of bullshit overwhelms your ability to think critically about what you are hearing.
