At least Facebook is neutral.

Twitter has decided to fight some hate, and blatantly ignore some other hate. It has an agenda.

>They are both equally bad.

What I said above aside, when considering the size of the Facebook tumor, I have to agree. They are about equal bad.
It has seemed to me that the anti-Oxford comma crowd has grown in recent years. Although you questioning it makes me reconsider. It is possible social media has increased by exposure to the personal writing and opinions of people who were already against it. Like you mention, it is against the AP guide that journalists are generally taught to follow. And they are much more likely to tweet and anti-Oxford comma screed than write an article on it.

Subverting the rules doesn’t equate to making the world worse.

Assuming just $10m for 2 of his children to be admitted? That’s enough to fully fund the education of ~50 low-income students [1].

I personally believe we should turn these quiet donations into a public bidding process instead to maximize what colleges can receive and ensure it’s done in as fair of a way as possible, but that’s separate.

[1] It’s important to distinguish that the donations went to the university, not a corrupt official at the university. This is actually productive.
Like I haven't been learning all those 20+ years in industry.

The notion of that it is possible to know a "stack" "fully" is a delusion.

Calling yourself a "full-stack dev" is just plain hypocrisy.
> it would incentivize the government to help fight the battle against itself in the context of unhealthy agricultural subsidies and policies.

It would also incentivize the government to restrict all manor of activities in the name of “health.” Want to go rock climbing? Pay a tax. Want to ride a motorcycle? Pay a tax. Want ice cream after a hard running workout? Pay a tax. Don’t exercise enough? Pay another tax. Allowing the government “incentives” creates incentives for the government to restrict the risk management autonomy of citizens.

And “liquid sugar” isn’t a problem. People choosing to consume too much of it is. I am perfectly healthy, normal weight, plenty of exercise and I like to drink Coke. Should I have to pay a tax or higher prices because some fat-ass makes the choice to drink it like water? Perhaps instead of taxing food, we instead tax obesity. Put the responsibility on the individual.
Not a failure, just disrupted by a business model of ‘build everything here’. This is how the economy is supposed to work to improve people’s lives.

Also, China has just poached over 3k TSMC engineers with govt. funding (>3x salaries!), so we will see if TSMC is disrupted by China’s chosen winner.

Despite your noble intentions, I don't think such comforting statements are useful, and they are probably harmful: On the one hand, the market will decide what skills and what level of skills it wants to pay for (and how brutal when, after often being comforted, consoled, and reassured, I find no one willing to pay me for my meagre skills), and on the other hand, there are more than enough people who are confidently happy to run metasploit and burp, shut their laptops, and demand a pay-cheque.
This means that in then current scenario half of teachers will not have reached full competence, whereas in 1988, 80% would have.

I feel like that was actually one of the reasons the Amiga didn't catch fire as much as it could have-- it wasn't a no-brainer upgrade.

If you were a serious user of a 64, there was no forward upgrade that didn't consist of chucking all your software and data. Yeah, you could get a 128, but that was frankly close to obsolete the day it launched. If you have to abandon your existing investment, the bargain-priced Atari ST and the collapsing price of PC clones made them reasonable shortlist competitors against the A500.

It would have been interesting to say "here's a $100 module that lets you connect your 1541 and read the discs, and run your 64 software in a window."
Cut out the middleman - fund national healthcare directly with a tax on air pollution and sugar.

The idea that nationalized healthcare (paid for by the middle class) will encourage politicians to tax the unhealthy food of the lower classes is fantasy - this has not manifest itself in other Western countries which do have nationalized healthcare systems.
What if the money collected for the theoretical tax on sugar-containing products went directly to subsidize the sugar producers?

Then again just ditching the subsidies would get the same thing done with less paperwork...
I don’t have any special insight beyond what’s in the article. This is likely why state governments have been talking about federal aid.
AFAIK due to regulation, hospitals can prevent other, new hospitals from being built and it happens often. Get rid of the regulation.
Improving the capability of your brain is a matter of stressing it in the hormetic zone, just like improving the capability of every other organ in your body. Since the brain is the control organ of the nervous system, including motor neurons, it's expected that physical stimulus would produce neural stimulus.

I expect that advanced gymnastics is superior to dance with respect to brain plasticity, but only if the practitioner has already reached a level of adaption sufficient for the training stimulus to be in the hormetic zone. This hypothesis may or may not be correct, but it's certainly testable. If true, one would expect that a competent gymnast would be able to perform as a slightly less competent dancer whereas a competent dancer would have difficulty holding a planche or working a pommel horse.
1. About to open a bakery next month: https://www.pearlbakery.com

I operate the place as well as being the head baker, and the skills required are vastly different. There is some overlap with soft skills, managing others, attention to details, and so on.

2. Still involved in software, but I discovered years ago that I can’t accomplish much while I write the code myself. The bakery is a family endeavor, but I’m using it as a way to collect as much business experience and capital as possible to be able start my next big thing. But I must say, having time away from a screen is nice too.

A permanent high school memory is returning from my job at McDonald’s around midnight. Was tired but turned on David Letterman. Voices were all dubbed over in Spanish, with English subtitles. No one onscreen acted unusual. I was dying to go to bed but stayed up till the end to hear the punch line or payoff. Then the show finished without a single reference to it. I was awestruck. I’ve never heard anyone remark about this — I wonder if I imagined this or it just didn’t shock/impress people like it did me.

I feel like you're not being charitable in the least; you're not addressing any of the points I'm making.

Yes, people should get to say whatever they want. Yes, everybody should face consequences of what they say. I already said that it's reasonable for an organization to want their figureheads to represent them, and talked about one possible mechanism for achieving that.

You characterize the people who reacted in this story as "the little guy", but they clearly are in a position of power, and you can tell because they got him fired.

In what way was the CEO in this scenario abusing his position of power or his "platform" (I'm not even sure exactly what you mean by that word here)? He made those contributions as a private individual, not from the company's coffers.

As for "abusing" one's wealth, some people clearly do that (by bribing their way into political positions or into contracts or whatever), but that's not what's happening here.

Agree and I have the same issue seeing some of the value in certain contributions, especially ones that haven't been driven into my head (Louis Armstrong, Elvis, Robert Johnson for music). A similar parallel would be Lenny Bruce. He fought obscenity regulations and made a ton of things possible. He self published records to get money and his voice out there. Today, he'd have a Netflix special.

Over time every security executive learns that there’s only three important things in security:

- How big is our cyber policy?

- How do we make sure the insurance company pays out?

- Will our financial growth and policy offset the maximum potential losses if we decide not to roll out security tool X or patch Y?

That’s really it. When growth and insurance won’t cover it then you’re plugging holes until the equation balances itself out. Everything else is theater.

Doing anything other than the above ends your career...quickly.
I can see where you're coming from, but it's important to remember that what they are competing on is not only time but also spreads. Spreads have tightened substantially over the past couple decades thanks to these firms [1], which means that the total amount to be made per trade has dropped significantly. On top of that, the landscape has become so competitive that trading firms are now purchasing order flow, which basically subsidizes broker commission fees for trading. This is a huge win for retail investors, as the cost of trading has made it much more accessible -- in the past you would have had to buy many more shares and make a much higher return to offset these additional costs of trading.

Before the internet devoured print, journalism segmented itself as follows:

- daily newspapers, which rushed important news into print as fast as possible (multiple daily editions, “hold the presses”)

- weekly news magazines, which focused on analysis of anything broadly newsworthy.

- monthly special interest magazines which combined narrow focus with in-depth coverage (Foreign Affairs, Byte)

Broadcast journalism largely copied the format - daily news (Walter Cronkite) and weekly analysis (60 Minutes, Face the Nation).

The dominant low brow weekly print news magazines (Time, Newsweek, US News & World Report) refused to change formats are are gone. The middle & high brow weekly magazines survived Slate and Salon just fine; we shall see what the likes of Vox and The Intercept and Pro Publica mean for their fate.
Well “the price” might be totally different if there were no off-exchange orders. But I’m sort of being a devil’s advocate... I agree with your argument in practice since I don’t expect to see such open exchanges anytime soon
>But secondary trading is still a zero-sum game.

This is a claim that I think you really need to back up with some kind of proof, because it is so central to your line of thinking. All the points in your comment follow if this is true, but they are also all questionable if this is not true.

> And if the state receives any dollars at all, per this proposal they are required to move towards bans on "exclusionary zoning"

No, they aren't required to “move toward bans” on anything. They are to move toward inclusive land use by some combination of zoning policy and other regulation. And it's only CDBG recipients that have to do this, which are often local governments. Rich suburbs probably aren't competing for CDBG grants in the first place, and wouldn't have to do anything.

The specific examples in the act of policies which can meet the requirement, and many of the examples are consistent with single-family zoning.

Contradictorily, consumption of soursop fruit is correlated with the development of neurodegenerative disease (Parkinson disease), which is attributed to the presence of annonacin in the seeds.
The “stunning failure” and “end of era” are good clickbait phrases for a headline, but it’s made by an analyst. Gotta consider the source.

It’s definitely not surprising to see the competition close in on Intel, but it’s also not the end of an era.
It depends on where you live. Where I live, I certainly am legally able to block the road as an individual. I have to do so peacefully and if I'd like to do more, file the appropriate permit. But I certainly can.

I don't have to think about it. My office has been shutdown on multiple occasions by causes I don't agree with (we are located by federal land). In fact, it happens at least once a year. Not once have I wanted the protesters to be prevented or forced to disperse. Is it an inconvenience? Yes. But it is their right and a right that is critical to democracy.
At the time of my reading, their comment says "three major parts of the economy which are extensively regulated". I don't think that they're ignoring all others.
I've forgotten what the method was but it is within the realm of possibility today for a single wealthy individual to destroy the world at their whim.

IIRC it didn't require any fancy future tech or bombs. It just required the will with current tech. Like sending up 10000 balloons full of a certain kind of existing chemical into the upper atmosphere.

IIRC the article was about governments deciding they need to take planet wide effecting geo hacking steps for global warming but what if they're wrong. Following some of those steps it was clear that a modestly rich individual could implement some of them on their own.

I can't remember which website or podcast I heard this from. It could have been 80000 Hours or Making Sense or Slate Star Codex
And hence it is reversible, since you can get the inputs back from that output!
Both are problems. Half the qualified med school candidates don't get accepted to any schools. Of course if we build more med schools we'd need more residencies too, but the government can just raise the subsidy they give residencies to create more.
This is paraphrased by the great George C. Scott at the end of Patton. His version was "All victory is fleeting."
"concierge primary care" might also be useful, as some places use "concierge" and "direct" interchangeably.
Surely you could afford an extra $0.10 here and there if it means millions of people would make better choices, yeah? Taxes don't work like you think they do. If you have a Coke now and then, it doesn't really affect you. If you drink three a day, it starts to add up.

If this is unpalatable, we could always just tax Coca Cola directly so they can pay for their sugar-induced health crisis.
Space Moose[1] and the Parking Lot Is Full[2] were two early internet comic strips that smashed through that. They still hold up well to this day, at least if you like transgressive subversive humor.

I haven't seen anything open source that comes close to Lightroom, even if you only consider LR versions from ten years ago. Although LR used to have the habit of getting really slow with larger libraries, it mostly just works and doesn't get in the way, while stuff like darktable is just... weird. Darktable has similar issues to GIMP, as in, that it hypothetically has a lot of features, but the usability is pretty poor overall, and it lacks some pretty vital things. GIMP only did 8 bit color until recently and a lot of operations are comically slow, while darktable has a very low legibility UI and keyboard shortcuts that don't make a lot of sense (e.g. navigation keys are different between modes), it isn't good at actualling keeping a library of photos, and crucially it has no way to quickly go to 100/200/400 % magnification (in LR you could hold the middle mouse button to instantly snap to 400 % iirc, extremely useful, completely absent in darktable).

Overall photo editing with open source software is kind of a drag. The features are more or less there, the UX isn't.

I just made zucchini fritters couple nights ago and I would bet most would like them. Shredded them with potatoes and squeezed most of the water out. Mixed with eggs, garbanzo bean flour and salt.

The two libraries out there that I found seem to be hand-rolled -

Box.net have an official OpenAPI descriptor at https://github.com/box/box-openapi , that you can one-time feed into an OpenAPI-to-PHP codegenerator such as https://github.com/janephp/open-api or https://openapi-generator.tech/ to produce a PHP SDK.

This should help address the "relatively unmaintained" part, but the disjointedness is perhaps going to rely heavily on how idiomatic the generated code looks (and you will almost certainly want to ensure there is low-memory/streaming support for file upload/download APIs).

My understanding is that a major cause of America's burgeoning healthcare burden is the food environment.

That's only one factor. Another is car dependence and lack of pedestrian-friendly built environments.

There is a lot of research on just how much harm it does us to sit all day, every day. We sit in a car to make a long commute to work. We sit our desks. We sit in the car again.

And hitting the gym occasionally doesn't fully compensate for living like that.

Urban planners used to configure cities to help promote physical health and we don't do enough of that anymore. It's nigh impossible to escape a sick outcome when trapped in a sick system that makes healthy choices largely out of reach for most people.
In sixth grade, my entire class was obsessed with Far Side. Our teacher actually let us tape our favorite comics in two columns onto our school desks. I still remember the one about William Tell helped me answer a test question once.
While a wait time of 19 days is much too long, the connection drawn by the article to the CDC recommended 2-week quarantine ("That’s five days longer than the quarantine period of two weeks recommended by the CDC") is spurious. That's the time in which the virus is expected to present, not the point at which it's okay to leave your home regardless.

From the CDC article which they link right there, "[q]uarantine helps prevent spread of disease that can occur before a person knows they are sick or if they are infected with the virus without feeling symptoms."
This is a rough time for those without a strong community. I feel for you, good luck
