It's not the case, because it's not possible for food to be cheaper after prep and delivery. It's cheap, but not cheaper than making your own food from scratch. And there's no oversight or health inspections for this mass prepared food either.

> I'd call this article a straw-man argument, but there are those on the extreme end of the scale, apparently.

I too found it hard to believe that such people exist, but my own wife said she agrees with the statement "I believe police cause overall more harm than good in the USA, and it would be better to have no police at all than policing in its current form."

And yes, she believes that all police, except for investigating detectives, could be replaced by social workers and the like. Many of her friends believe similarly. So it isn't a straw man, these people really exist.

As you suggest, "defunding the police" is a motte and bailey argument, in that "defund" CAN equal abolish, if the defunding is 100%. On the other hand, a 5% shifting of funds would be a minor reform. So advocates, if they are unscrupulous -- and not all of them are -- can simultaneously advocate for a radical change in policing and assert it will have modest impact, by equivocating on the meaning of the word "defund".
USPS will eventually provide e-mail addresses, and other government papers will require a USPS provides email address to conduct business. And they can then charge to both send and receive To or from these addresses. Then they can phase out paper letters / express mail and leave physical package delivery to private companies.
A number of people have been fired from their jobs because of the cancel culture. It's that "de-platforming" that most concerns me.

While people have the right of free association, that right needs to be exercised responsibly. Is refusing to work with a man who apposes gay marriage is responsible? How about refusing to work with a Trump supporter, or evangelical Christian?

2. Focus is in its search field. Type "keyboard", then down arrow + return to open Keyboard Prefs.

3. Hit tab to move keyboard focus to the tab bar

4. Use arrow keys to move keyboard focus between different tabs, and space or return to select one
i doubt it, TSMC still needs lithography machines from ASML (a Dutch company) to manufacture their chips.

This looks to be in a similar vein to the Ion shell, which was developed for Redox [1]. Both written in Rust, both not (seemingly) perfectly POSIX-compatible, etc. I'm not sure I'd personally choose to go with either one over shell if I knew anyone else was going to need to use it, but it's cool to see iteration and experimentation on things that I usually consider to be the fundamentals of the computing environment.

I can't speak for the entire org, but when I was in Display Ads, promotion went to people who moved the needle on certain metrics, e.g processing latency, revenue, throughput, resource usage, etc. More often than not, impacts like that were accomplished by shipping new features (while deprecating legacy code) instead of fixing bugs. If you're going for promotion, having launched something that makes an impact (appropriate to the level you're going for) is a must. That said, it's a fairly common occurrence that once you get promoted, you move to a different team, leaving your old projects to your former teammates.

The entire Federal Judiciary runs on a budget of about $8-$8.5 billion/year.[1] Think about that for a moment. One of the three co-equal branches of the US Government, and guardian of the US Constitution, operates on a budget of less than 1% of the Department of Defense's budget ($1.15 trillion), 10% of the Department of Homeland Security's ($91.6 billion), and 20% of the Department of Justice's ($42.3 billion).[2]

One of the reasons for PACER fees (and other court costs) is the Judiciary's attempt to have some financial autonomy from Congress, even though it clearly depends on Congress for almost all of its annual budget.

As others have stated, you can get case law for free elsewhere. You do need to access PACER for docket material, however. But there's even a fee exemption for "indigents, pro bono attorneys, academic researchers, and non-profit organizations."[3]

I love Sciter and it is pretty amazing for what it does, but I still wouldn’t use it to share internal web component libraries within my own company, never mind some other 3rd party.

Sciter unfortunately uses it’s own dialect of JavaScript and CSS which might not be compliant with browser JavaScript engines.

I really wish Sciter would move to some other commonly used JS engine and get rid of TIScript, then I would be more confident with creating an internal library, at least I would be able to use web components in a cross compliant way between browsers and Sciter.

The trouble is that, 1) cars are much more expensive, when you tally it all up, than walking and bicycles, so one must count against them the time it takes to pay for them (and if one is very exactly accounting, one might also place some portion of time spent on dedicated, otherwise-unproductive aerobic exercise against cars' account), and 2) once a city's adjusted its girth to account for cars, the points most often factoring into ones point-to-point mobility are much farther apart than they'd have been without adjustments made due to widespread use of cars. Notably this doesn't include only people choosing to move farther apart, but everything being pushed apart by large setbacks from unpleasant roads, enormous highway interchanges, and gigantic parking lots. The car's value, even absent its effects on health and the environment, seems unavoidably to dwindle to very little if too many of them are in use.

Sparing use? Buses, perhaps, emergency vehicles, and possibly delivery trucks? Probably a solid, significant improvement. Individual automobile use on public streets in and around urban areas, and all the adjustments necessary for that to happen or consequent of car-influenced growth patterns? Way, way murkier than one might initially expect, but now very expensive and difficult to reverse regardless, so we're stuck spending a lot more to travel farther and save, if we buy cheap cars and have a high paying job, a little time.
> threads + a synchronized queue built with a mutex and a condition variable is simply the simplest and most effective way to go wide.

Implementing an efficient synchronized queue is relatively hard. OSes already have many cross-thread queues in their user-facing APIs.

On Linux I usually use mq_send / mq_receive, on Windows PostThreadMessage/GetMessage, SubmitThreadpoolWork, or PostQueuedCompletionStatus/GetQueuedCompletionStatus. On iOS and OSX there’s grand central dispatch.

Sensitive to bias, Facebook relaxed misinformation rules for conservative pages
They raised the fee waiver to $30 in January. They say only 25% of PACER users ever exceed that threshhold.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of who makes up the 25%.

If there was a compelling public interest in serving those users in the 25% then, theoretically, the parties in each case could make their filings publicly available; the parties have access to free copies of the filings in their case.

The reasons why parties would not want to do that -- which I trust the reader can imagine -- probably explains part of the historical reluctance to make unlimited PACER use free for everyone.

As Amercians' privacy is decimated by tech companies, the moderate amount of "privacy" afforded to parties in federal courts might actually be something worth protecting.

What is filed in federal courts is perhaps one area of people's lives that is not readily available for tech companies to vacumm up on a mass scale. Needless to say, filings routinely contain sensitive personal information.

Note I am not making an argument either way, but just presenting some points to consider.

From the official website:

> Schema.org is a collaborative, community activity with a mission to create, maintain, and promote schemas for structured data on the Internet, on web pages, in email messages, and beyond.

> A shared vocabulary makes it easier for webmasters and developers to decide on a schema and get the maximum benefit for their efforts. It is in this spirit that the founders, together with the larger community have come together - to provide a shared collection of schemas.

If this isn't an "organize all the information in the world" project, then Google and the other companies involved are branding it in a horribly dishonest way. In which case, they should be criticized for presenting a company-specific visitor retention strategy like it's some kind of altruistic gift to the world.

Sites like Facebook and Twitter have their own 'lite' metadata schemas that they use to help identify and render links. Hardly anyone criticizes them over it, because they haven't registered a generic domain like 'schema.org' and presented their work like it's some kind of community-driven collaboration. They're upfront that it's just a simple API for their website.
Unless your plan is to change human nature, where the “blame” goes is pretty academic. The inertia is still an issue when going the RFC route, and less of an issue when standards are developed first to fill a specific need for an interested party.
> How would they make any money off the App Store in a future where all apps are streamed bypassing their system all together?

Yes I agree, I think this is the answer. Video streaming is allowed since they already lost -- no one wants to download the whole video as an app first because the experience would suck.

That's not true of games...yet. They are scared it will be. As an enthusiast, I'm a little scared too!
You never know who is going to buy who, data leaks and hacks are rampant. Over time this adds up.

There is no differentiating - PACER fees are a justice equity problem. It is impossible to separate one from the other. Inmates and pro se litigants need the information on PACER, too. The Courts have previously allowed these fees on the ridiculous theory that the same information was available in hard copy at the court house. It’s not equal access to justice when someone can afford to get information in two clicks and someone else needs to take a bus an hour each way.
That's simply not true, especially in California because of the elimination of SALT deductions. High salaried earners pay a disproportionate amount of taxes in the Unites States -- more than the percentage of money that they earn. While I'm sure there are a few wealthy people that have odd business arrangements that allow them to legally beat taxes, that's not the case for the overwhelming majority of people.

I just like fairness. I think they should raise taxes to pay for the COVID bailouts. But on EVERYONE. Not just on someone else. On me and on you. Because I'm not a spiteful jealous person.

bill clinton, is that you?!

but seriously, in contrast to natural language, the article lays out the basics of mathematically-based logic, not for its own accord, but as groundwork for the more interesting later sections talking about context-dependence and reasonableness.

the reason natural language has so much ambiguity is not because our brains couldn't have come up with a rigorously logical language, but because the world is ambiguous and language reflects that.
But that's a simplistic way to look at it. At least I think so.

I signed up just to see if I could pull dockets on publically traded companies, so I'd know if there'd be litigation before others and get an edge in trading.

It was about 2 hours of using the system before I realized this would be impossible (you know, on my personal budget.) I think I made like under 10 searches and racked up over a dollar in fees. Some of the pages actually charge you per search result not even search. So if you query a term and you get 100 results, that's 100 charges.

Even with 10 or 100 queries you still will get a probability distribution of (I'm guessing) 20-200 passwords that make up the most likely 50% of passwords, so I'm not sure how much good this would do if your password is relatively common. If it's very obscure this could help more, but you're still narrowing the password search space from 500M to 5k-50k.
One problem is that Rust and C++ are not the best languages to build incremental compilers in, because these languages are not purely functional and on top of that the developer has to think about memory management all the time (in Rust the type-system limits the developer because of memory management which is more or less the same thing).
Whitelist. You can spell it out here.
I'd like to throw my opinion in as well to add to this.

Julia's syntax and language design is brilliant, but the biggest reason Julia has been my favorite language since I first learned to program is how astonishingly easy it is to use tools other people have made, and also to create tools for others to use.

The packaging system is just great for development, both as a user, and as a maintainer. I've been surprised by how easy it is to take stuff I've made and get it to work with a myriad of packages for the purposes I need. Multiple dispatch does wonders here too.

In the recent survey they said that 30% of respondents had contributed to a package. 30%! It's a super active ecosystem and the barrier of entry is low enough where I don't feel "imposter syndrome" as strongly as I have elsewhere--that I need to pass some threshold in order to properly contribute.
Trouble is, it only works if everyone is remote or everyone is in the office. "Piecemeal" situation does not work - remote people will be left out, and disadvantaged in terms of their career progression. So if they are serious about remote, they should commit to being remote only. Yes, some people won't like it, at least initially. But most of them will get used to it over time, same as they got used to the ridiculous proposition of spending a good chunk of their lives in traffic every day without getting paid, or not seeing their spouse and children for more than a few hours a day, or not being able to take a nap when they are tired, or sitting in a distracting noisy environment and being unable to focus, etc, etc.
