I'm sorry, I am just unable to see the disaster in having a choice.

You also don't have to make the choice yourself. Ask somebody who knows what he/she's talking about...like people who sell those things or look up opinions online. This is the 21st century. There are ways. If you care...but as I said: I have the feeling many don't care and that's ok. If you have the extra money and don't care, go for it. That's the great thing about capitalism but please don't try to sell the possibility of choice as something bad. It just doesn't make any sense at all.
> Besides a 1.61% death rate being nothing to sneeze at (and it's probably actually higher than that)

No, it's way lower than that. Deaths are probably undercounted, but nowhere near as much as infections are.
Remember that by the time a case gets past indictment and plea bargain, almost every case is a conviction. Prosecutors aren't dumb. Variation in conviction is pre trial or even pre arrest, not at trial.

This makes total sense, but wouldn't a backyard school be a completely reasonable indictment of the local public education system in this case?

In other words, it would seem that one wouldn't start a backyard school unless they thought their children would be better off than in public schools. The outrage here seems to be that the public agrees with that assessment: students who have access to this backyard school would have an advantage over students going through public school programs during the pandemic.

From both sides, it seems that the ball is in the public schools' court. For the investor, there wouldn't be a need to start a backyard school if he felt that the public schools were offering a reasonable alternative. For the public school parents, there wouldn't be as much outrage if they thought the public schools were offering the same quality of education as this backyard school.

Definitely agree that quality education for all is the desired outcome here, but given that it's not in place yet, starting a school to give your own kids every advantage makes sense, as does pushing representatives to fix and fund public schools more fully.

> I can't see how both "Need this system for extremely rare scenario" and "Disabling this system because scenario is extremely rare is okay" can both be true.

The benevolent interpretation is:

a) the plane being in a situation where the system is required is rare, but frequent enough that the risk wouldn't be acceptable without MCAS.

b) MCAS breaking is rare, but frequent enough that we can't allow it to fly the plane into the ground when it does (as has been demonstrated).

c) Both things happening at the same time is so exceedingly rare that a crater is an acceptable outcome, just like we accept that all engines simultaneously failing at the same time during take-off will likely result in a crash.

For some reason this (along with piannucci's explaination) really helped it click for me - while the gas has a very high blackbody spectrum temperature, emitting hard radiation when it's particles collide at high speed, it effectively has very little surface area from which to emit that blackbody radiation.
it's definitely not the end of the world. spend a little money on some adapters, change some habits, and it's not really a huge inconvenience.

the main issue for me is that bluetooth audio just doesn't sound very good. most of my music is in mp3, which pretty much guarantees a lossy-to-lossy transcode for bluetooth. the inline DAC adapters tend to be pretty bad as well. I don't really expect a high fidelity audio experience from a smartphone, but the official google adapter for the pixel 2 is noticeably worse than the onboard dac in my old nexus 5x. not a showstopper, but very frustrating considering how much I spent on the phone.
As a solo developer, I think doing SEO and content marketing might still be worth, but I prefer to spend my time on improving the product.

GUI Software Developer (C++/Qt) - https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/419071/gui-software-developer...
I had kind of the opposite experience. I showed up to a court date where dozens of other people were being charged with the same thing. Their lawyers all had Brioni suits and haircuts that looked like they cost more than my smartphone. Every single one of them was just pleading guilty to the original charges! Shit dawg, you coulda done that for free!

Meanwhile, my own attorney looked not too far from what you'd expect to see if someone had entered a garbage dumpster circa 1969, and emerged the mourning of the court date. And to this day, I have never been convicted of any crimes.

A friend of mine semi-permanently attached his dongle to his headphones by heatshrinking over the joined headphone jack/socket (after having lost several already). Seems to be a neat/workable solution. (I've never had my dongle come accidentally detached from my headphones. Maybe the tolerances in my headphone jack and my dongle socket all serendipitously turned out "just right"...)

Current Pixel 4 owner here, and former Pixel 2 owner, and I very much miss the fingerprint sensor.

With a fingerprint sensor, the only time my phone would have any trouble unlocking would be if my finger was wet (trivial to fix and re-swipe). Face unlock fails all the time for all sorts of reasons, and is especially useless when I have a mask on (it's nice of Apple to detect masks and bring up the PIN pad without needing an extra swipe, but that's still a weak workaround). Even without a mask, I feel like the failure rate approaches 1% to 2%, which is way too much. For me to feel comfortable using it, I expect something on the order of 0.01%.

Actually I'm not even sure it's the failure rate that gets me. Even after using face unlock for the better part of a year, I still catch myself looking at the phone thinking it's waiting for my face when it isn't, and then I have to swipe up or hit the power button or something. Yes, maybe you can call these UX problems that can be fixed with software, but with a fingerprint sensor I know that when I touch it, my phone will vibrate, and I know immediately if it succeeded or failed.

I think also part of the difference is that Pixel phones have had their fingerprint sensor on the back instead of the front, like iPhones used to have. If the phone is just lying face-up on a table (and I don't want to pick it up), then having it on the front is much easier. But, in reality, I found that was rarely the case for me; usually it'd be in my pocket, or even if it was on a table, I'd want to pick it up anyway. The act of wrapping my hand around the phone would put a finger in roughly the right position to hit the sensor anyway, so it'd be unlocked and ready to use well before I was in a position to read anything off the screen anyway.

Frankly I just really don't like face unlock when compared to a fingerprint sensor.
As much as the school district wants to complain about this, it's not illegal and they can't stop them.

Homeschooled students perform better than public school students, in addition.
Yeah, it's a similar situation for me. Though large prints from phone photographs are pretty poor in comparison to the image quality from even my entry-level Rebel Xsi from 2007. Sports photography with a good lens is still something that a camera phone will never rival, but in most day to day situations, it has surpassed DSLRs purely out of convenience and being good enough (and in the case of things like HDR/low-light photography, better than a DSLR in many situations).
Ad kit collections: Huawei vs. AdMob
Seat belts are mandatory, but not for example on public transportation. And in most jurisdictions you can’t pull someone over if the only reason is because you think they aren’t wearing a seatbelt. In MA, for example, it can only be added on top of another infraction.

So even a common sense policy which saves many lives from a public health perspective has some clear limits to when and how we enforce it as part of the overall social contract.

Particularly with regard potentially discriminatory police actions which can be non-uniformly enforced, think for example homeless people who might not have access to a clean mask being targeted.

Making up a new kind of law which can be used to fine/arrest literally anyone just for walking down the street “the wrong way” is a big deal.

You have completely changed the premise of the argument now. Yes lifestyle changes have a bigger effect than a single plane ride. This calculus changes immediately if you make 1000 plane rides on a MAX. A typical diet over a few weeks is definitely safer than a MAX ride.

This isn't directly relevant to PP-YOLO, but I'm surprised roboflow is still promoting "YOLOv5" - despite that model not having an associated paper and it not being made by the authors of the previous YOLO's.[1]

The ML community has been asking the authors of that model to rename their project[2] because they are basically stealing publicity by making it seem like the next version of YOLO, despite its performance being worse than that of YOLOv4.[3]

Roboflow has deflected this in the past by claiming they don't know if "YOLOv5" is the correct name[4], but by continuing to promote it, they are directly supporting it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised that their claim of not being affiliated with Ultralytics to be either false or a half truth, given that all the top pages about "YOLOv5" were done by roboflow, including the first official announcement.[5]

> I have to file my state and federal returns separately today

Right, but you're looking for a one service solution to look after all that, state and fed included, organised by fed. If that is what you're looking for it's already done, just not by the government, HRBlock TurboTax and others, my point is, if it was for the government(FD) to look after, it would be a nightmare, they wouldn't do it as well.

It works in other countries because as you're paid you're taxed on your income. That doesn't fly when you have multiple jobs, with each state having their own tax system, I'm not saying its good or bad or even that it CANT be done, I'm just saying I would prefer a company who gets paid to do it, to make sure its done right.
Wouldn't have to mandate it, if people would just do it...
Presumably it's on an internal server and not public.
Sure, and a prenup is a contract that nullifies the bits you don't want.
See or hear. Everyone, in the process from judge to representation to jurors in their own isolated rooms with proceedings transcribed and read via the same text to speech. Eliminate the theatrics.

Dog heartworm pills are a MASSIVE rip-off. The active ingredient - ivermectin - can be purchased without prescription at any farm supply shop in sufficient quantity to last several dogs' lifetimes with plenty to spare. The maintenance dosage is miniscule.

It's actually worse than a pure random walk - it had a clockwise bias which could be exploited to create travel asymmetries.

Planet Coaster is also great. It's more of a modern take on the theme park sim idea than a faithful recreation of the original. Kind of the Cities Skylines to RCTs Sim City.
If I understand the article correctly, Sowell thinks that blacks have a highly inferior status today because they have a culture that is not suited to succeeding in modern society.

If we assume Sowell is correct about that, then my reply is that culture is not fixed. For instance, Western European culture is vastly different than it was 500 years ago.

So the question is why blacks have the particular culture they do at present. Does Sowell address this?

This got me thinking of the connection to ageism. Sure, a younger person might be hired over an older candidate for reasons that are legitimate: maybe the more senior person wants too much money, or maybe the hiring powers-that-be want to bring in someone who can "grow with the company".

But occasionally, I suspect these reasons become convenient excuses to go with the younger, more attractive, reasonably-qualified candidate.

One important aspect of this is battery capacity can be safely placed at the grid edge. Power infringement is built to handle the capacity of the peek days but statically these peeks only occur once in a blue-moon. By adding battery capacity at the edge of the grid significantly less long distance transmission infrastructure is is needed and the grid can be balanced in a much more targeted way.
Allow me to shed a single tear for the landlords who took an over leverage position and are expecting the taxpayer to bail them out on the threat of a mass eviction crisis.

If only someone could have told those poor poor landlords the dangers of over leveraged investments. The TSLA short guys should get on this grift; bail outs for idiots or the public gets it.
As a counter example one of the best developers I've worked with wore a business suit/formal clothes regularly. But he was in his 40s and it felt appropriate with his demeanor - it didn't feel out of place at all despite the office being rather casual (I remember more than a few people wearing sweatpants around the office since they would cycle/run to work)
