I am not painting all protestors as rioters.

I am saying what we have here is not protest. Its rioting.

I don't know what law enforcement have to do with this.
You've described the process: When the Vendor misses the bogus return, it's sent back to another sales bin, and resold. Next, the Customer accepts it, or returns it again. At this point, the loop should exit, but we already know the Vendor is imperfect. I've wondered how often this iterate before exiting. The worst case is fun to speculate on, since both are motivated to pass that hot potato.
Look and compare the military and space budgets of all countries... it doesn't matter really what we do - it will always be better than what we are doing now.
Interesting, I wonder how much of it may have been due to other reasons than just the brevity.

I wonder how much of it might also have been due to that, e.g, people generally enjoy helping other people, and so are likely to respond positively to what appears to be someone else outlining what they'd "like" for you to do.
That's really not true. For the last 60 years or so (basically since the civil rights movement) the conventional understanding of "freedom" on the educated American left has been significantly more nuanced. It is, after all, a nation with the institution of slavery enshrined in its constitution, so people tend to talk carefully about which freedoms they mean.

On the right, that never took hold (we probably don't want to get into why). So when someone says something like "freedom is a foundational ideal of America" they're effectively making a declaration of identity as an American conservative.

And coming back to the upthread point: if I hear that statement as "I'm a conservative!" in the context of "I'm an independent thinker!", then I'm going to be a little dubious about how independent that thought is when it's defined in terms of a political identity. Political orthodoxy is perhaps the SAFEST form of (to use the terminology from the article) conventional-minded thought.
I see the similarities, but one big difference is that the Red Guards were created by Mao as a way to purge the party of his enemies and reshape society to serve him more fully.

Thanks for this, Max. Easy upvote.

I'm still of the opinion that you chose personal gain over doing what you knew to be the right thing. It's something everyone (me included) does many times over. But the scale of wrongdoing by Facebook is exceptional.

Equally as possible is that our intuitions about "the right thing" are wildly different. I think that democracy, societal cohesion, and personal privacy are important and that Facebook has permanently damaged all three.

Which do you think it is?
Yes there are jobs and yes the non-profit industry needs your talents. Software jobs in the industry fall into one of 4 buckets in my experience. Don't expect much career growth or pay. Most of the work is in support of fundraising. Be willing to work at a vendor that serves the non-profit industry.

- Web development. Nonprofits need websites. Sometimes they may have a dev on staff, usually they at least have a digital director that can work with devs at web dev vendors. These vendors are usually solely focused on the non-profit market.

- CRM. Non-profits fundraise and they need people to manage the donor database. Usually this is bought from a vendor that specializes in non-profit CRM and those vendors also have devs/DBAs.

- IT. Non-profits need IT to manage networks, phones and equipment. Often they work with IT vendors.

- Devs for conservation work. This is more rare. Still, some non-profits have staff scientists, GIS people, and devs to build out conservation tools, such as data collecting apps, data visualizations or other things. This is rare because most non-profits are trying to convince the government to do the science because the government has much more money and power to recruit. It's rare and maybe a bit of a vanity project to do any science out of the non-profit, though there are a couple of groups that do that.
In my statement I wasn't trying to center museums particularly. The OP was asking about nature conservation and museums/libraries are the aspect of preservation of the natural world or care of people and communities that I'm most familiar with. Our capitalist society doesn't place much value on these. [Update: wording]
Not only somewhat, but critically: increasingly.

This article is distasteful with tiny number of facts and a lot of opinions. After all, there is a fact, that he ranked human beings into levels, some higher than the others, some are trouble makers and others are the angles with no fault to be found in them, some are "sheep" and others just "naughty". I do strongly believe that societies are in need for all types of people, some are conventional and some are unorthodox.

Thanks for linking this summary! This is by far the most controversial comment I've ever made here, it keeps on fluctuating in score. I hope it prompts some people to examine the history, but unfortunately I did not provide any scholarship to back up my views, which are heterodox in the general population but I think commonly held by those who investigate the boring subject of zoning.

Not being routed to Spam is largely a two-step process, which is of moderate complexity in SES, but if you're browsing GitHub you can probably handle it:

* Not spamming
I heard this phrased another way: a wealth adviser stated (roughly) that

"The question each individual faces is 'Would you give up all the money in your IRA so that some old person you don't know will not die?"'

I think that question captures the essence of the situation better than the "haircut...lives" phrase.
The divide 51:49 is nothing special if there are two candidates, in Poland the difference was typically 2-8 percentage points, in fact in 1995 election the difference was almost the same as in 2020 so I wouldn't say anything special happened.
Haha, well spotted. Yeah, it seems to maybe be an issue of how Google Fonts sends preview text to the URL, and the “+” conflicts with the general separator. I’ve sent a message to the folks over there, and hopefully they will put it in their backlog to fix.

It's important to also reduce your omega-6 intake if you can, it's really about the ratio of those two polyunsaturated fats. Look for foods with a high omega-3 to omega-6 ratio.

You could just eat some oily fish once a week too. It's tasty when you finally get it right, I promise.

This is the current normal in many countries.

Actually many of these have been empowered by some kind of internet troll movement. The emergence of such parties is eerily similar - an overwhelming majority who is peeved at some designated and vilified minority getting even minor privileges. Plus a lot of ranting against left liberalism and globalism. They conveniently forget the fact that such egalitarian viewpoints have more or less assured a stable 75 years in recent world history. Nearly a century of peace in large parts of the world - this has been a great achievement unprecedented in the last 500 years.

Unfortunately for us, I think since Internet 2.0, this trend has been exacerbated by the echo chambers which constitute most social media.

Not sure that's the conclusion to draw. The car made traveling large distances possible. Now things are built on car scale distances, making walking difficult and requiring a car.

I would argue mainly materialistically. And yet we have to spend most of our lives working to pay for these comforts.

Not sure about preserving nature and animals directly, but there are lots of software jobs in clean energy (I'm hiring SWEs for Kevala right now). These could indirectly have a big impact on preserving nature via slowing climate change.
Nobody is suggesting this.

No sane person can look at the riots and say this is protest it stopped being that long ago.

It stopped being that the moment it turned into riots.

Those still participating are complicit at the very least and I would hazard a guess are well fucking aware of what they're doing.

I should clarify, I am well aware there are still ongoing peaceful protests.

Those are not an issue, and nobody on this side is confusing them or labelling them as rioters.

If you want to see what biased but relatively fair coverage of this, go watch tim pool on youtube. There is a bit of exaggeration but by and large what he speaks is mostly pretty solid reasoning.

The extreme left has taken over this issue and is destroying our chances at finally removing trump. And I'm pissed about this, because the issues these riots started over are real, and need resolution, but these riots don't result in this outcome.

They result in more people falling down the right side of things.
But the reform way hasn't worked very well, if at all, either. Not saying that means one should revolt or anything, just that America seems like it's stuck between a rock and hard place, currently.

> they finally found that it was not that I did not have goals, but that I needed a low protein diet and some medications that a psychiatrist could not give me, and now I am doing better.

I think that's a problem with the influence of psychology within psychiatry? There is little ability to distinguish organic disorders and the endogenous vs. exogenous question only really gets resolved with respect to whole diagnoses, less common to distinguish w.r.t. an individual.

German Wikipedia says this was done to avoid overheating:

"Since September 1975 the further developed Charkowtschanka-2 was built. One of the most important differences was the external cabin, which also facilitated access to the engine and transmission, which were mounted under a classic engine hood and avoided overheating problems."
I find reading the emails preferential to a meeting myself, but I guess a meeting is sometimes the only way to get people to pay attention.
I don't think your are well informed here. They are protesting the systemic racism that makes some cops feel like they can get away with leaving their knee on a black man's neck for 8 minutes killing him.

Maybe you don't think that systemic racism is a major problem or maybe you think that people should focus on other issues instead? But your graph is incorrect.
By higher frequency, do you mean optical frequencies? If that's what you mean, then it's not just a matter of computing power. It's a matter of optical detectors not actually measuring the phase of the incoming photons. If you lose the phase information, you lose the ability to do interferometry.

CCDs just count photons (incoming photons kick electrons into the conduction band, and you count electrons after each exposure). There are more advanced detectors that tell you the energy of the photons, but not their phase. If you can't measure the phase of individual photons, you can combine light from different telescopes directly, and let nature do the correlation for you. That's what optical interferometers do.
My issue with most grids (and charting libraries for that matter) is that the API is push based (ie they all have some kind of API like setData, etc), instead of pull based (where the grid utilizes an adapter model with simple functions like getRowCount, getColumnCount, getData(row, column) and you can build subclasses that adapt to any data model you have). This means that it's really difficult to implement highly performant grids that support changing data, more data than can fit in the current viewport, etc. It also makes it difficult to share large datasets between different views - ie a chart and table both showing the same data, or two tables showing different sections of the same dataset, without multiple copies of the data in memory.
I can assure you that I live on the same planet as everyone else posting here.

Whether or not I could perform this miracle depends entirely on your specific use cases. Many people who have this sort of reaction are coming from a place where there is heavy use of the vendor lock-in features such as SSIS and stored procedures.

If you are ultimately just trying to get structured business data to/from disk in a consistent manner and are seeking the lowest latency and highest throughput per request, then SQLite might be what you are looking for.

The specific core counts or other specifications are meaningless. SQLite scales perfectly on a single box, and if you have some good engineers you might even be able to build a clustering protocol at the application layer in order to tie multiple together. At a certain point, writing your own will get cheaper than paying Microsoft for the privilege of using SQL Server.
So how does freedom, as you put it, win?
I would never shoot an unarmed person; that would be murder. Gun possession is also not a reason for anyone to be shot. However, by all reports these agents are menacing people with their weapons, bundling people into unmarked vans, etc. Those behaviors threaten lives, and responsible gun owners will intervene to stop them.
In my personal opinion (based on personal observation) static typing helps to become more lazy and trusting since it enables features such as autocomplete, type hinting and so on where one basically gives away understanding of detail.
Don't get me wrong! I love being lazy and trusting because it allows to leverage more code than I'd be able to produce on my own, but usually it's also the source of many of my own mistakes and failures.
I strongly believe that I'm not the only one.
The video games vs museums comparison is kinda terrible though, don't you think? I physically _can't_ just go to a museum after work like I can play a video game or watch a documentary. There's a huge number of literally free museums in my city, but I still have to cook for my family.
Twitter warriors are absolutely a small piece of the pie, but I think you could say they are the online face of the amorphous force that the authoritarian secret police are attacking.

Each unit of the force is trivial (rioters are a trivial part of the protests, campus activists are a trivial part of the student body, AOC is a trivial part of congress, moral clarity journalists a la Wesley Lowery are a trivial part of news mastheads, online "SJW" people are a trivial part of Twitter, etc). However, in aggregate it freaks out and motivates the authoritarians you are talking about. When they criticize any of the forces, they are simultaneously fearing the larger whole.

It's about the 'why'. The thing that Mars has to offer that Antarctica does not is "backup solution for humankind". An asteroid impact can make earth uninhabitable. With a self sustaining backup on Mars we can keep humans around even after that. Asteroids are interesting too, but more far fetched than Mars.

I recommend watching the Elon Musk presentations on Mars / making life multiplanetary.

I think a lot of these comments are trivializing the situation in Hungary. The point is that if the government has shut down the last newspaper independent of it (even though maybe not of ads) then they will shut down any public speech independent of it and then you cannot have a population informed about how it is being governed (whatever about being informed about consumer choice which is a bit more trivial)
Ugh, ad spam taking over HN.

Boshed MDMA weekly for a year, can confirm it fucks you up, and leaves you basically in a constant, severe comedown. If anything, when you get to that level, taking MDMA just gets you back to a "normal", unstable, but you aren't even enjoying it that much. I rarely, rarely take it now, (still love shrooms and acid once a month or so).

Anyway, with normal use, MDMA is amazing at the time, and if you remember the things you felt and the intensity of them it can be a great memory. Fucking great for music, too.

I think those all pale in comparison to the freedoms lost from the Patriot Act. Complete and total government surveillance. Gag orders that make it illegal for you to disclose that your business is being forced to comply with surveillance. Government bullying when you try to build systems that are surveillance proof (Apple said to reverse course on end to end encrypted iCloud earlier this year due to government pressure). Not to mention extrajudicial killings of American citizens.

Freedom is having other options.

If you can't say no because you have no other options, then you become a slave to tyranny. Every time.

Slaves have no other options - do as the tyrant says or be murdered.

People who cant quit their job because they have nothing else lined up (or haven't kept their skills sharp), have no other options : and will have to put up with tyrannical bosses and stupid braindead businesses.

People who run up hundreds of thousands in debt and then have to work a job they hate to pay for it have no other options.

You can have other options without having money, but money always gives you the option of doing nothing - which is often the best option

Maybe we'd be better off investing in developing technology that can take the risk of exploring Mars for us, and also benefit from the side effect of being able to use that same tech here at home for any number of things.

But colonizing the Moon or Mars is a competition where the prize is far more than "well, we're here".

Came here to say this as well. If you're not using structured logging in 2020, get on it! It's usually trivial to set up. Most of the work will be converting your unstructured log messages to correctly separate out the application-level fields.

I cannot emphasise enough how much better it is for searching the logs and running any kind of automation off of the logs (analytics, monitoring, alerting).

"Noisy" logs are often cited as a major problem, but well-structured logging allows you to filter out the noise very easily, and focus on only the log events that are relevant to your task.
