The closest to air-conditioning possible in trains like LNER's is more similar to individual window units (except mounted in the ceiling) than the integrated systems in larger homes or offices.

LNER operates two types of multiple-unit from the same family (a conventional EMU and then a bi-modal hack of that concept because the Tories don't want to spend money electrifying more of the railway), and then an older loco-hauled passenger service where a type 91 is pulling and there's a train of mostly passive passenger stock behind it.

In both these designs there is electricity available, to run the air conditioning units, but it's not practical to pump air around the train so they don't. The air in your part of the train will get recirculated by the fans that make the air conditioning unit work, so I'd expect that if you spent an hour on a train four seats from an infectious person there's a decent chance you'll be infected. But air from other carriages isn't recirculated into yours at more than negligible level.

Because these are mostly doing intercity journeys (thus fewer stops, and perhaps dwelling for longer at each) even the newer EMUs were not designed as a single huge tube like the modern Tube stuck or some local EMUs. So there's a "double airlock" partition between one carriage and the next which reduces noise and discomfort but makes getting on and off take a little longer. In this particular case it probably makes the train slightly safer to use.
I think you have it backwards. If you commit tax fraud, you will be prosecuted. And the FBI will work with the IRS to do this.

But, supposedly, putting a non-zero value in the "illegal income" field of the 1040 (which ISN'T fraud) both (1) can't be used as evidence against you in court, and (2) isn't reported by default to the IRS to the FBI or other law enforcement agencies, so you don't end up on any watch lists.

Of course you gotta take their word for part (2), but it is their incentive to get every tax dollar regardless of source.
That's definitely technically doable but that doesn't require Google in the mix. You clicked and went to a website that used those databases and your browser to fingerprint and identify you. Not sure how Google also having this data is somehow relevant to any of that.

Any H1B worker also pays their fair share of taxes and adds to the local economy. This word salad you got here is just FUD.

Maybe you just got confused and thought it was about illegal immigrants instead?
Yup. I know.

Still sucks when you can’t get a job. I too thought because I was a smart web developer that I would always be able to make so. Oops.
You can use a non-linear junction detector, and triangulate on the signal it forces the target radio to give off. They are not very selective, so it’s easier to track when there are very few radios in the area under illumination.

The easier way is to compromise the phone and have it pretend to be off.

I don't think this is a great reason to avoid julia.

Why is latency a concern for you? Are you running a lot of short, one-off scripts? If so, an easy solution is to just keep a julia session running and re-use it for each each script rather than constantly starting up and closing julia sessions. DaemonMode.jl [1] is a package that was recently developed that makes this workflow effortless.

Another option if you've got some production code that needs to be run over and over again is to create a custom sysimage with everything AOT compiler. PackageCompiler.jl [2] makes this workflow pretty easy nowadays.

The initial discussion of the article on YC almost touched on what the article hits, noting that Paul Graham is actually quite vague in specifically what behaviors he finds troubling, or what debates he thinks can no longer be had. But, I think the article does a really good job of demonstrating how empty his argument really is.
You've misrepresented my premise by quoting it without the context.

Funding incapable teachers can't advance your goal. As long as the plan is "Fund schools." and nothing at all follows the period "." then students will have properly funded incapable teachers.

Zero teachers understood technology on a level that would enable them to teach the nuances of technology safety. Many (if not most) would have been handicapped by the misunderstandings they held about tech.

Most of the "left-leaning" organizations you cite above are not considered particularly left-leaning by the left. A better description of them would be "pro status quo", or if you're feeling punchy "relentlessly pro status quo" with a side of "pro-corporatist" thrown in for seasoning.

Now, Fox News and OAN and Sinclair are not, publically, actually the John Birch Society, so sure, you could say "right wingers don't think they lean right either".

Plot out a chart of US political opinion, and I more or less guarantee you that in most things, you'll find your list of media outlights absolutely "centrist", and the 3 I just named distinctly "to the right" of mainstream US political opinion.

Large companies have easier access to debt. And in a low rate environment, solid returns from debt are pretty much guaranteed.

I completely agree, but castrating the Authority's ability to run the business, and stay profitable will do more harm than using contractors. Looking at Trump's firing as anything more as a step in the direction of privatizing the TVA at a cost to everyone who buys its power.

Résumé/CV: See below. Looking for Compliance/AML/Product Manager/Project Manager/New-MBA-Grad -type work.

Email: annevs@protonmail.com

Details: ---------------------------------------

I am currently in a bank Compliance/Technology role within a major multinational bank, which means I oversee (as part of a team) certification/re-certification for SOC 1/SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRamp (and our vendors certify the same); IT controls over data protection and adherence to data/Privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, TCPA, CAN-SPAM, FCRA; meeting with bank regulators including examiners from the Federal Reserve, FINRA, SEC, OCC, and CFPB and handling their requests. Part of my job is acting as a Product Manager for a bank internal tool: onboarding users, training, handling complaints, coordinating with developers to add new features, and so forth. In a previous role at the same bank I worked in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), working to ensure the bank executed its obligations per the AML regulations in the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Patriot Act.

Prior to my years in Compliance, I was a consultant with a variety of Internet-related work: writing Java/Python apps, setting up Google AdWords campaigns, data analysis on campaign results, SEO, A/B testing, writing integrations, creating social media plans, etc.

Sample Experience: I am the second most frequent poster (or at least, was) on the Google App Engine Groups forum: 1671 posts commenting on and helping people run their applications on Google App Engine (PaaS similar to Heroku): https://groups.google.com/forum/#!profile/google-appengine/A... . As a representative sample, see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/google-appengine/RtIke... (I am Vinny P in the thread).

Travel: Experienced traveler, I have TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, & CLEAR. I've been to most US-major-city airports and more than a handful of foreign airports across the globe such as Japan-NRT, India-DEL, Germany (Berlin & Frankfurt), France-CDG, Netherlands-AMS, Toronto-YYZ, Australia-SYD and many more.
I'm terrific at navigating airports and getting to client locations fast.

Looking For: Really, I'm pretty flexible. I'm interested in work with: Compliance, AML, Consulting, External/Internal Audit, IT controls/certification work (any sector; my experience is in banking but it's applicable to pretty much any industry), data privacy/controls positions, a product manager or project manager position, etc. I'm currently working on my MBA (less than a year remaining): I'd be happy with a new-MBA/MBA-rotational-program position. I can provide references, coding and writing sample.

Thank you

You can see the salaries of the H1B workers here[1] (at least their initial salaries).

Electrical engineering related hires had salaries between $47k - $55k. Looking at other H1B salary data for those years (2001 - 2003)[2], and the TVA salaries seem on par with other H1B hires(they're neither the lowest, nor the highest). Chattanooga where all these hires were at also has a fairly low cost of living, so $55k sounds like a decent wage for the area.

The more recent hires were all managerial level, and range from $90k - $130k. Not sure how competitive those were with domestic hires at the time (last H1B hire was in 2008), but overall they're fairly high salaries. And these were all in Nashville, where that wage is enough to support a family living in the well-to-do suburbs of the area.

> Now, call me crazy, but given that he believes it once existed, I find it hard to believe that he also believes that it's just over and done with now.

Yes, he does believe racism exists within systems. But this is not what is meant by 'systemic racism'. Today, systemic racism is both a description of a problem, as well as an insinuation of its cause -- namely 'white privilege' and white hegemony --
and an insinuation of solutions -- namely progressive legislation. Sowell rejects these insinuated causes and insinuated solutions and instead believes discrimination and poor outcomes for blacks today is driven by progressive policies such as a lack of school choice, laws encouraging loans be made to blacks who cannot afford it, etc. He believes that blacks will be helped by a return to a less regulated market. While this viewpoint could be named under the umbrella of 'systemic racism', let's be honest with ourselves that that's not what the term has come to mean

> I know in some European countries and his claims seemed to clash with what I knew.

To be precisely, I would say his conclusions and the lack of other perspectives clashes with what I know about economy in European countries because I see how his reasoning makes sense in a vacuum.

> I wouldn't dismiss the book just because of that, but it did make the lecture rather difficult because it was challenging my assumptions and knowledge quite strongly. I guess that's good :-)

Exactly. I want to finish it someday for that exact reason.

Thanks!
Thats an open question, but for us it is within a long walk or a short bike ride to a lot of high quality jobs. For Ensley, you are most likely hopping on the interstate to get to work. Once you have to get on the interstate, why not keep going another few miles to a stronger economy? Or even better, why not just invest closer to the jobs? For a Bham specific example, there are probably very low cost properties closer to UAB or Regions.

To make the case that someone SHOULD invest in Ensley, the investor has to make that case defensively for why Ensley instead of 3 miles east closer to downtown.

The biggest issue for Ensley, not mentioned in the article, is that Ensley was built as an industrial village for Tennessee Coal and Iron (TCI) with an absolutely mammoth manufacturing facility alongside Ensley (largest in the world, per wiki). TCI was acquired by US Steel and US Steel relocated and expanded the plant to Fairfield. Now that the jobs are gone, Ensley has struggled to survive. I would imagine the completion of I-20 was the final straw, since it is now easier to access cheaper land further out. It is unfortunate, but not unreasonable.
I tried this in a few different browsers but the pages weren't rendered in that font as the site indicates. Instead it seems to be rendered in Comic Sans.

UI never "became" UX, they are different but related with overlapping concerns. Typically a person doing User Interface work should have User eXperience considerations in mind. This is not a thing that changed, it's always been the case (even if there wasn't a name for it or it wasn't in common usage).
> Are you a shill or just misinformed?

You broke the site guidelines badly with that. No personal attacks, please, and no drive-by insinuations of shillage.

Your comment would be just fine without that bit.

PG probably takes an attack from Robinson as a compliment.
Having them in templates for user input makes sense - because users can easily input text and emoji, and thus are likely to use them. Few apps have custom graphical characters instead.

In the UI where you have full control, less so, but there's a counter-example: reaction emoji in messengers IMHO make sense to be emoji that users already know.
Totally agree with the sentiment, but why wouldn't you also expect politicians to act in _their_ self-interest? Favorable legislation in exchange for contributions and future employment opportunities has been par for the course for decades now.
Holding the government to higher standards is completely reasonable. But an actual crackdown would presumably involve checking out most government agency’s contractors. FAA, Army, etc all use contractors that are doing the same things and these are federal agencies.

Personally I would love to see an H1B crackdown, but this isn’t it.
From my dogfooding experience, it really depends on what you need to run and what compromises you are willing to make.

The biggest slowdowns I see with javascript-heavy web applications. Native applications like LibreOffice, GIMP, Inkscape, Ardour are fine, and so is working in terminals or with standard GTK3 apps. I also managed to patch KiCAD and etnaviv into working together to allow for GPU accelerated canvas.

"Normal" websites and PDFs are fine and scrolling is smooth in chromium. With VLC I can watch full HD H.264 movies, software decoded, and YouTube is fine too, if you can tolerate a bit longer loading times than on a faster Intel/AMD computer. There's open source driver support for H.264 video decoding, but the userland infrastructure for it is not yet in common applications.

I have to say I'm using the sway compositor, which is a clone of i3 for wayland. It's more resource efficient compared to a full blown DE like GNOME 3.

For Emacs, I use the new gccemacs branch with precompiled elisp which gives a nice speed boost.

What doesn't work:
- Applications that need OpenCL
- Applications that need Desktop OpenGL 3+ (currently, etnaviv does desktop OpenGL 2.1 and GLES 2.0). That means you're stuck with Blender 2.79b, for example.

I don't think the person you're replying to was implying the President should already be aware of the issues. Rather, that it's concerning that the best way to convince him to do anything is through a TV ad instead of a more appropriate means of communication.
NPR's drivetime radio shows have bigger audiences than Fox, for almost all of its shows (and sometimes, for all of its shows).

Cable TV is still a niche.
