I think I broke it! :)
I did the samething back in 2014.

Instead of 5 years it only took about 6 months. Your mileage will vary.
The Stonewall riots (also referred to as the Stonewall uprising or the Stonewall rebellion) were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay (LGBT) community[note 1] in response to a police raid that began in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Patrons of the Stonewall, other Village lesbian and gay bars, and neighborhood street people fought back when the police became violent. The riots are widely considered to constitute one of the most important events leading to the gay liberation movement[2][3] and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States.[4]

The 1970s generally were rather more violent than is commonly remembered:

Going further back, there's the history of police (and military) response to labour organisation, the reason many larger US cities have military armouries:

The proliferation of urban armories—dedicated buildings for National Guard unit training and community functions—dates to the 19th century, according to Army National Guard Lt. Col. Don McFadden, chief of the Strategic Plans and Education Branch. “The Civil War draft riots and labor riots of the 19th century spurred construction,” he says

As Jeremy Brecher wrote in his labor history Strike! state governments built armories as fortresses in American cities “not against invasion from abroad but against popular revolt at home.”

I don't think you'd need to change the constitution.

As far as I can tell the constitution only gives congress the power to interfere in mail, it doesn't impose an obligation to do so.

> Section 8

> 1: The Congress shall have Power To [...] To establish Post Offices and post Roads;

Similar to how the same section gives Congress the right to borrow or to impose tariffs and excise duties, but I don't think anyone would construe that as an obligation to borrow or a ban on free trading.

I don't think there was any constitutional crisis when the national debt reached 0 during the Andrew Jackson administration?
11M households could be evicted over the next four months
HTML. Say, a blog post. Or a technical document. Instead of comment threads at the bottom, I imagine the comments inserted/attached inline in the text, perhaps only visible with mouse hover or appearing in a sidebar.
This is a great car! We have the original version (same car but smaller battery) and it still runs so good after 4 years or so. Love driving it. It's a perfect car for day to day needs around the city/shopping/commute but I also love going on longer trips of 200+ KM.

Always a new discovery of different places thanks to the need to charge. Runs about 150 KM on a single charge on eco mode so when we go on a longer trip we find a nice and interesting place to have a break and explore while it charges.
I agree. I read best with physical books, so don't bother with ebooks anymore. But it's frustrating to have to constantly flip to the end of a chapter or the end of a book to figure out if a footnote is of interest to me.

I think academic papers largely get this right. First, footnotes and references are separated. Second, footnotes are actual footnotes at the foot of the corresponding page.
Let's not ignore the possibility that the reduction in pre-term birth could be due to women receiving less pre-natal screening, leading to conditions that would warrant immediate induction going undetected. In fact, data collected from a hospital in the UK indicates a 4X increase in the incidence of stillbirth.

From: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/934056 edit: Non-paywalled: https://outline.com/MZUPk3

> The incidence of stillbirth was significantly higher during the pandemic period (16 of 1,718 births; 9.31 per 1,000 births) than the prepandemic period (four of 1,681 births; 2.38 per 1,000), a difference of 6.93 stillbirths per 1,000 births.

A hypothesis put forth by the authors on why this is:

> they say the uptick in stillbirths may be due to indirect effects such as a reluctance to go to the hospital when needed (such as in the case of reduced fetal movements), fear of contracting COVID-19, or not wanting to further burden the National Health Service. Changes in obstetric services may also have played a role.
Came here to say exactly that.

This is how people are going to look back at global heating. “They pumped how much carbon into the atmosphere? Of course the temperature was going to rise!”
Is it just me or is this short on details? I don't see any reason this timer is actually easy to wire up, and I remember my similar watch decades ago also as being water resistant, so it seems like it's less than ideal?
LOL, after editing the comment I cut out the important part. What I meant to say is that I thought I had that disease, but after reading the comment I doubt I have it.

I also suspect that many celebrities who claim that they have it probably just have a bad memory. They are normally meeting a lot of people so it's not easy to remember faces.
Also, nearly identically, in uranium-based molten salt reactors.

The safety and sustainability that enticed e.g. Andrew Yang to like thorium are actually coming from low-pressure coolant and the concept of breeding, both of which are possible with thorium or uranium fuel cycles. The thorium itself has nearly nothing to do with either benefit. It's basically a rebranding of non-light water reactor nuclear.

Thorium has one major primary physical differentiator, which is that it alone allows breeding with slow neutrons. Uranium needs fast neutrons to breed. Both options have pros and cons that basically wash out.
Ah yes indeed, I had the F-105W. I thought the F-91W also had this EL film, because it's also labeled "Illuminator" on the big picture at the top of the article, which was casio's branding for this technology at the time. But it doesn't have the blue branding. And I think that pic at the top isn't actually an F-91W.

The EL light was super, very bright and very well distributed (because the whole backlight film would light up). I'm surprised they managed to put one in such a small watch as EL film needs fairly high voltages, you could hear the switching coil whine when it was on :P Yet it still lasted a good while on battery.
Say I have a 50GB (bigger than RAM) CSV file I want to analyse locally with R. Can I somehow use Apache arrow for that?
Aircraft carriers and nuclear ICBMs. F-16s and missiles are merely to buy enough time for the U.S. to respond, which in a surprise attack with a minimal initial invasion force probably doesn't require as much sophisticated equipment as Taiwan has to preserve a viable defensive line for if and when the U.S. intervenes.

If China (PRC) was smart, it'd have invaded Taiwan two years ago as Trump's resolve to backup commitments to Taiwan, or pretty much any military commitments to any ally, with force is basically nil. Nearing the election it's less clear as retaliation and a standoff crisis might better suit his reelection bid under present circumstances (e.g. COVID-19 sentiment).

China missed its opportunity, but if Trump were to win re-election China would have much less to lose given their rejection of one country, two systems, the deterioration of trade ties, etc. In a lame duck Trump presidency invasion would have an even better cost+benefit profile for China.
So RawTherapee/Darktable + Digikam would cover lightroom areas?

I never used lightroom, so I don't know what I might be missing.
>>Some say it was linked to it's acquisition by Cerberus Capital.

History repeats itself. As if these companies care about the brand reputation over decades, they just want to milk it and then sell it to idiots (public) that recognize the name. People are buying more guns than ever, so it was probably a planned bankruptcy
Most merchants at Roman times used Greek nimeral, it has much easier algebra comparable to arabic.
> What's the mechanism in place to prevent the private road owner from charging far more than the maintenance costs of the road?

Freedom of people to move their place of residence and business, and long term contracts.

Basically people don't move house willy-nilly, but when they move house they can take considerations like roads and railroads etc into account. That's what they do today, too.

Long term contracts assure that your decision will be valid for as long as you like to negotiate.

No need for all the regulation you envision here.

---

However, I do agree to an extent: private companies are not a panacea by themselves. As you can see with the sorry state of eg American banking (especially historically when branch banking was banned) or in their healthcare system or what I hear about residential internet access.

What is more important is genuine competition.

Alas, adding lots and lots of layers of regulation seldom works. You just get regulatory capture instead.

In that case, you might make an argument that outright government ownership doesn't look too bad in comparison. Especially if you can have very local levels of government be responsible. Eg municipal waterworks seem to work reasonably well around the world. See eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewer_Socialism

What often works better is deliberately decreasing barriers to entry. Be that from foreign competition, local upstarts, or established firms branching out into other industries. (Eg Walmart tried to allow people to open bank accounts. You can guess at the lobbying storm from incumbents that caused.)

Another good measure, but extremely unpopular in practice is to make sure your regulations are as simple as possible. For example, when you have decided to privatize some government agency, say like USPS or Amtrak, you should remove all the debts from its balance sheet and then sell it strictly to the highest bidder.

In practice, that never happens. In practice, there will be a beauty contest with lots of complicated rules (eg about preserving jobs etc). Those rules give the adjudicating officials lots of leeway to decide, and thus power.

Invariably, the buyer will later on renege on their promises.

That's much harder if you just hold an auction in terms of cold, hard cash.

(I'm parroting the suggestions of 'Just Get Out of the Way' https://www.bookdepository.com/Just-Get-Out-Way-Robert-E-And... here. The wisdom of removal of debt from the balance sheet before selling wasn't obvious to me for a while: the idea is that any dollar of debt left on the balance sheet would decrease the sales price by roughly a dollar, but if the newly privatized company goes belly up, it would be politically impossible to avoid a bailout of the debt that existed before the privatization.

In practice we'd expect the new owner to add debt back on the balance sheet shortly after the sale. But that new debt will be politically much less charged.)
for what it's worth, i wouldn't trust any sensor in the form of the sparkfun CO sensor (link 0 in your comment) -- there was a fellow in denmark who did a ton of research with these sensors to create an electronic nose that exploited their huge lack of sensitivity. most of them are sensitive to a huge range of gases beyond what they are ostensibly labeled for, so he would drive them at different voltages and could basically get fingerprints of various substances: the nose could smell the difference between different types of olive oils or detect different spices. they are also very finicky to changes in temperature / humidity.
$25B in cash goes a long way in bridging the gap between now and being back.
Good insight, I feel like engineers/developers would benefit from basic business classes, just to understand the thinking that can lead to the downfall of great engineering companies and hopefully how to avoid it.

Having recently seen this first hand, i.e. great developers being shuffled around and questionable business decisions carried out without a strong engineering buy in, it sucks.
I’m just upset Marlin was sold to Remington. The Model 39A is my favorite firearm. Once Remington took over, and they moved the factory, the quality went bad.
Don’t worry. Trump and his ilk are also making it harder for talent to come here from other countries.

Stupid policies are basically the new norm in the USA.
Remington's 700 trigger mechanism has a design flaw that's caused dozens of deaths and hundreds of serious injuries. The company covered up the flaw and engaged in all sorts of shady business as opposed to issuing a massive recall. Remington's ammo on the other hand isn't bad and seems to be sold everywhere you can still buy bullets.
When I was doing my conscription military service (I am Swedish) I noticed how hard it was to tell time in the darkness of the night with my existing analog watch.

So I asked my parents for a cheap digital watch with inbuilt light. I got something similar to this Casio but am not sure if it was exactly this. But the darkness readability aspect of a watch had never been a concern for me prior, or after, but during that year the most important feature. Perhaps terrorists operating in the dark as well have come to a similar conclusion.
I’m sure that can’t hold a candle to my tactical warhead I picked up for 10k BTC.
great achievement! Thanks for sharing
Probably Cerberus trying to extract more money from government clients.
I think spenczar5's reaction is fairly understandable in the context. Live in close quarters with somebody in their 7th month of pregnancy and 5th month of lockdown and we'll see if your goto reflex is to explain further.

There's a need for a lot of sensitivity in this conversation. It's easy for us to armchair-expert this to death... that isn't necessarily a good thing.
How to Reduce Anxiety Naturally

This is only tangentially related, but until now I never really thought about how I sum single digit numbers, but it's not by having memorized all combinations. I'd say I have all combinations that sum to 10 or less memorized, which adds up to 25 unique combos (plus the rule that number + 0 = number).

If I can tell it sums to more than 10, I break it up mentally into [larger number] + [smaller number] = [larger number] + ([smaller number] - remainder) + remainder, where [larger number] + ([smaller number] - remainder) = 10

You could break it down further by just memorizing what each digit less than 10 is when you add 1. Then you can do addition like 5 + 4 = 1 + 1 + 1 + ... = 2 + 1 + ... = 8 + 1 = 9. Then you'd only have to memorize 9 things (10 if you include 0). I guess this assumes that you know the order numbers go in though, whereas memorizing all of the combinations doesn't require that.
Pandemic was predicted 30 years ago
Translated by google: "The article appears to be distributed by Kyodo News, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has compiled a report that predicts the health damage of global warming. The report noted that global warming could lead to epidemics of malaria and other epidemics, affecting nearly half of the world's population."
That point is mentioned in the article, including the example of Toyota trucks
Thanks! It was a double-pane sliding glass door actually so maybe that did have something to do with it. Though, I also tried from the same side as the laser for most of my trials (i.e. laser and voice both coming from the inside).
Berkshire Hathaway doesn’t track Warren Buffett’s actual performance very closely over shorter (less than a decade) periods. It was trading at nearly 2 times book value during that period, probably the worst time to buy it you could find.
Btw, thats a Viking raven ensign the soldiers are flying

Which owner of Remington are you referring to? I’m not sure I follow the theory that they experienced irrecoverable quality decline at the hands of one owner, unless you mean DuPont, and that’s hard to measure given the major changes in the retail rifle and pistol market during that time that were not favorable to Remington.
Corporate bankruptcy fueled by private equity?

That goes together like peanut butter and jelly.
The distinction here is that it was planned, and not just the result of hysteria.
Road wear scales n^4 with vehicle weight [1]. If tire wear is anything similar, it makes an additional strong argument that we should be using fewer (mass transit) and lighter (bicycles) vehicles.

Sadly a very effective strategy until you develop critical thinking, some struggle their entire life to achieve it.
There’s a good book called “Rebooting AI” that does some fundamental analysis about current state of deep learning and its applications.

The biggest problem with GPT or any massive neural net is explainability. When it doesn’t do the correct thing, no one quite knows why. GPT makes all sorts of silly mistakes.

The human brain, albeit being a form of a neural net, can do some very deep symbolic reasoning about things. Artificial Neural nets just don’t to that (Yet). We haven’t figured out that not have I seen a system that is close. We haven’t got generic neural nets that can perform arithmetic operations to arbitrary precision. For computers to learn proper language, they have to embed themselves into the world for years like children do and learn the relationship of objects in the world.

So if I were a fake comment house, I’d worry about GPT. Not so much if I were a programmer or a lawyer. We do some very deep symbolic thinking to produce our work. If computers are able to replace us, they can probably replace a large part of humanity. At which point we have way bigger problems to worry about.

Symbolic reasoning is a very hard problem to crack. Something like “how old was Obama’s 2nd child when the US hit 4 digit deaths due to covid-19?”. Answering that question not only requires context like “4 digit” means 1000, it requires a bunch of lookups and ability to break a big problem into smaller problems.

Siri/Ok Google/Alexa/Cortana/GPT3 - all of them fail.

They can’t even answer “Find fast food restaurants around me that aren’t mcdonalds”.
I wish they would request data instead of just taking it!
I think my confusion is about how to read the footnotes which are more than just citations. If I read them "inline" then I don't understand why they're not part of the main text. If I wait until the end of the chapter, I've lost context.

I'm prepared to believe that I haven't been taught to read in the right way. But there seems to be some disagreement on what the right way is.
It's not arbitrary search and seizure. It's a legitimate request for FB to produce documents because they're under suspicion of abusing their market position.
Not really unique, Great Britain is another example, although the underlying reasons might be somewhat different.
Apple was never close to going out of business, irrelevancy sure, but not bankruptcy.

I think you are correct. I didn't realize they would look so similar.
Yeah, treading very carefully there. This won't be my first complicated tax year...
You truly need to be shit at running your business to declare bankruptcy at a time when people are buying so many guns all the gun stores are sold out of anything decent.
Believe me, I get it. I kind of have preferred this myself. But for pregnancy, which is already a terrifying ordeal, consider:

- Can't go to the hospital for ultrasound or other routine procedures; the hospital is too dangerous. Gotta fly pretty much blind.

- Haven't met any other first-time parents, haven't been able to do PEP classes. We feel pretty alone.

- Going to need to take parental leave... indefinitely? Early childcare doesn't look like an option. But can we risk our jobs by taking a lot of leave? Maybe we have to.

- We can't see her parents since they work in the healthcare industry. She has a great relationship with her mom, so this is really tough while pregnant.

- Nobody really knows how bad CoVID is for a newborn, or what its effect on gestation is. It's easy to get sucked into spirals of terror about this. While we'd (probably) be fine if we caught it, the effects on the baby, even from asymptomatic infection, are unknown, and there are hints of brain damage which are _really_ scary.

So, it's pretty damn stressful, at least for us.
I have a cynical hypothesis that the whole "experiences over things" meme that's been so hot in the last two decades is driven by the same forces that turn products into services - companies covet repeat revenue.

You can sell a product only once to a customer, until they use it up (which is why products are getting so fragile). But experiences are fleeting, so if you sell or gatekeep some good ones, you can expect a steady stream of repeat customers.
Just trying to delay and maybe they'll win, nothing really to lose by suing. FB doesn't care about courts costs
Maybe not radical, but I'm have a really good experience with https://www.future.fit/

They pair you with a personal trainer who comes up with a detailed workout plan just for you. Each workout arrives as a set of videos, showing ever exercise or stretch stitched together. You just follow along the video, but it's based exactly on what you want to achieve. (E.g. 'lessening pain from sitting and getting active'.)They send you an apple watch to track heart rate and ensure you're active.

B/c you text with your coach, and they see you're activity, you have a ton of accountability. So I've been working out more than ever while locked at home :)

Yes, it's a little expensive. But far cheaper than in person personal training. I'm benefiting from it!
To me, the article would have been more informative and satisfying had it dwelled more on the unique elements you mention as opposed to the ways where it resembled the hobbyist PC era, like non-commercial distribution of programs in source form.
EDIT:

Point taken with the downvotes.

This feels very similar to the Intel story, except it seems that Intel is aware and will rectify the problem.

But less gun companies overall is a Good Thing in my opinion.
>For the most part, devs in general should not be teaching accounting. There's a reason that it is so challenging to earn a CPA.

Surely there's a big difference between earning a CPA and just knowing the basics of accounting.

I had a summer job helping out with entry in a family member's small accounting firm. I don't think that double entry accounting is that crazy of a concept that it cannot be grasped by someone without a degree in the field.

Equity is similar to a liability. Ít is owed to the owners of the entity.

Making assets positive in code is conventional.
> Late stage pregnancy mothers legitimately need less physical strain and more opportunity to take care of their bodies or the baby comes early. Keeping the same active pace of work for a few weeks in the third trimester can cost years of additional effort and suffering as a premature baby may accrue permanent damage.

You are rediscovering why in traditional societies woman stop working when getting pregnant. This is not a plot by the so-called patriarchy but something that have been intuitively understood by humanity for millennia: woman need lot of rest before and after the baby is born.
Rails or Laravel. There's a massive ecosystem of libraries and the frameworks are designed to reduce the amount of code needed.
Maybe too obvious, but if you’re not pushing everything to the remote, local-only content is available in both worktrees.
Bad examples, yes. Sorry!

Pretend I wrote gstreamer, wireshark, or similar.
