>The Texas Election Identification Certificate ID is free.

Which itself requires ID to acquire defeating its purpose as an alternative ID for people without ID.

>Wrong. Military and veteran IDs are federal IDs that are free of charge.

I was referring to the IDs available to the general public. A military ID being free is irrelevant to a huge majority of the US.

>They wouldn't have been allowed to vote under the previous system either. This is a red herring.

How is that a red herring? A flaw existing in both the old and new system doesn't mean it isn't a flaw. Do you think disenfranchising homeless people is acceptable?

>There is no "further scrutiny". You either have the documentation that proves your eligibility to vote in your locality, or you don't. Studies showed that Voter ID laws have little to no effect on turn out.

It takes added time and requires further documentation. The time it takes to vote has been shown to have an impact on voter turnout. Also I don't know what studies you are talking about. Here is one from a nonpartisan Government Accountability Office that says the exact opposite[1].

Your other points all rely on something refuted in the above points.

I think this article makes a lot of assumptions. It states gym members ships increased by 37% in ~ 1 decade. But, was that total memberships or % of population? How long do the memberships persist? It only mentions 6 months, pre-covid.

Are these people actually utilizing their memberships? I know when I had an LA Fitness membership, I went like... 3 times in a year because I hated the environment and fighting for a damn rack with gym tren bros. It wasn't until I found rock climbing that I began training 3x/week for 2+ hours.

What about obesity rates? Are they declining and, if so, is the decline directly attributable to increased gym memberships? And again, what about more rural areas where people might have turned to hiking/backpacking/outdoor sports? Seems like soulcycle subscriptions et al. are such a tiny part of the fitness industry as to be almost insignificant.

This article is entirely speculation, and rather thoughtless at that.

Personally, I think it's probably a grey mess. I stopped climbing for 2 months (March & April) as quarantine depression took hold. I substituted with lots of bodyweight workouts, but it wasn't the same. I lost my psyche. But, as soon as I could, I went back to bouldering and rock climbing outside 3x/week again, and it's remained steady at that level, with new habits of bodyweight workouts as supplemental work.

I know many of my friends experienced similar drops in activity during quarantine, and only about 50% of them have bounced back and resumed training. The others have seriously put on weight or had their diets go to shit or switched to simple walks/runs instead of weights or other sports.
Risk aversion comes in shallow and deep variants.
I am in my 50s, so not that crazy old. I also remember industry fighting very improvement, be it safety or environment, tooth and nail and warning of massive job losses. These losses never materialized but instead profits kept flowing and life improved massively for all citizens. To me it's total nonsense and FUD that the cost of tightening up standards is too high. It gets prized into the product and smart companies will find ways to adapt. Companies that refuse to adapt deserve to go under.
Arcadia is one of the best contemporary works, period. Highly, highly recommended.

I think it's fair to say HN policies around naming and shaming are pretty cut-and-dry in the comment section: that is, unless it's the subject of the article or link by the OP, it's not okay.

So from what I can tell, if someone writes an article about an employee of a company, people can say whatever they like in the comment section - anecdotes as colleagues, stories of similar environments, a mix of facts and claims. The article in question may be mostly heresy, and we've seen in the past this happen with the likes of Bezos, or very public people within our field like Stallman, or founders with questionable morals (see the latest AI controversies, or ads, or hacking, or regulations)..

But as soon as we specifically name someone in the comments, it's considered a witch-hunt. I think this is only true the first time it happens, or prior to them being targeted outside of this community.

Once someone writes a blog post with at least some facts on the subject, or the mainstream media writes about them - suddenly they're fair-game.

dang, we know this isn't going to get any easier to moderate. And I think writing broad, sweeping rules around this won't work. However, could you possibly write a post about it? You've expanded in the comments section in response to my own failure to live up to these standards (sorry again!), which I think was a good amount of information.

Apple II Emulator Written in Go by Telefonica's Tuenti CTO
I submit that it's not trivial, in that Uber will have to either let drivers set their own rates, or let drivers cherry-pick without penalty the contracts they wish to accept. Either change constitutes a monumental change to the rider experience.
From Paper to Product [video]
Right - the problem with "the government shouldn't be too competent so that it can't competently do harm" (which my gut wants to agree with) is that the parts that do good are unloved and unfunded and the parts that do harm will figure out a way to make it happen, usually because the harm benefits someone in power and the good does not.
Do taxi dispatchers track how often a driver accepts a request but never shows up? It sounded really common back when I was driving airport shuttles.

1) In Victorian Britain, child labour provided a great many public goods. 2) After it was outlawed, many of businesses that relied on it became unsustainable.

I don't think it is sensible to justify exploitation with "but the public benefits from it' and 'without it the business might go under'. By that logic we'd still have Victorian workhouses, 12-hour workdays, and there'd be no health & safety.
Uhm, yes. I honestly think nothing will come of this in the near term. I subscribe to the Navajo Times, and there hasn't been a thing in there about it.
Open source firmware? https://openwrt.org/
Apologies :( but thanks for the feedback
This is actually amazing, by making the next release with only breaking changes, and without new features, devs can focus strictly on what needs to be fixed.

Allowing code to be properly ready and tuned for the next major release. Where the new features will be actually introduced, hopefully, without new bugs.
It's odd to see this because Google App Engine is (was) not that hard and launched in 2008. I'm no longer doing that kind of work, but it seemed pretty good for people who want to keep it simple?

Agreed. But a good system ensures that I get things done. Even if you spend more time on the system than the things you do, if you are getting more done that needs to be done it is a win for the system.

Of course systems that get you to get done what needs to be done without all the systems work are better. Whatever works though.
A lyft driver can have the uber and lyft apps on at the same time during the phase when you don't have a passenger in the car.

I'm well aware of this. If you look in my comment history, you'll see that I drove for Uber and Lyft, too.

But the point stands — You can't earn money from both at the same time, just like someone can't earn money from waiting tables at two different restaurants at the same time.

uber had a really stupid and un-thought-out halloween weekend bonus

Ick. Don't get me started about Uber's promotional games. Like making everyone sign up for a big promotion during a big event, and then there are no qualifying rides.
Yes,you can see it quite clearly in the frame-by-frame in this video at between 2:15 and 2:25.

The cloud wave is clearly expanding but it is behind the pressure wave that blows out windows on both the front and back (relative to the wave) of the highrise buildings.

Spectacular and horrifying physics.

And if you're "inside" an explosion that's too slow to generate a shock wave, you may not even be seriously injured.[0] At least, if the pressure spike is too low to rupture your body. And as long as objects don't get accelerated toward you.

As a child, a friend and I were electrolyzing water, in an enclosed space. And so the hydrogen flashed. But the concentration was so low that the air just turned faint blue. There was no damage, to us or the building.

Am I right in my understanding then that diesel engines work entirely on the principle of detonation, and that's why they're heavier as everything is designed to cope with what would make a petrol engine ping?

Does that make any sense?

Or is diesel injected in to the cylinder in a way that more or less produces a controlled combustion?
I've heard/read that many times, but I've never heard/read anyone saying that people should feel responsible for the sins of their forefathers, let alone for the actions of people with whom they share skin color.

Next.js is a very decent React based SSR framework imo, and not sure vue is more popular
You're right, and I wasn't talking about getting the instruction coverage right - most software will have some idiosyncracies that will need to be discovered and worked around. Apple, as big as they are, will still need to discover some of these things in prod post release, I would be surprised if they didn't.

I'm sure Spotify and Safari and the like will work on launch day, but I'm not too sure about Postico, Disk Inventory X and others.

All of this would be fine if I trusted Apple to care about developers and niche users, but I just don't see it.
"The chaos aspect of this would certainly increase the evolutionary pressure on your systems to get better. You would need really good visibility into what exactly was going on at the time your stuff fell over, so you could know what combination(s) to guard against next time. But there is definitely a class of problems this would help you discover and solve.
"

Error conditions you already know about are easy to test and code against. I would guess most system failures come from conditions nobody expected. When you have a randomly failing system you can discover them. Fixing problems and testing for them then will be easy in comparisons.

For example: Years ago I worked on a video streaming solution. Some day we got a device that would garble our traffic randomly, slow it down and so on. things started crashing left and right. Within a month we squashed hundreds of bugs and had a rock solid system that basically impossible to crash.

I always wondered about AWS for other cloud systems how you could prepare for problems. It's hard to predict what can fail in what ways and you can't really force error conditions. I really like this idea of a cloud where everything breaks.
If you get all your information from the media, you'd think it was the end of the world.

In chemistry, an oxidising agent (oxidant, oxidizer) is a substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances — in other words to accept their electrons. Common oxidizing agents are oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and the halogens.

The jargon being that an oxidiser is an substance that can accept electrons, and doesn't have to by oxygen.

>Providing ID or not is quite literally the means and methods aka the process to vote. I haven't referenced "who" in any way, shape, or form.

No, when you require ID anyone without ID is prevented from voting and therefore you are dictating who can vote and not the means or method of voting. This is no different than a poll tax which is also unconstitutional.

>Again, check your sources. That's not in the US Constitution and is left up to the State

My source is the 14th Amendment, Section 2. It specifically calls out a lack of voter protections for people who had any "participation in rebellion, or other crime". A lack of protections does not mean felons don't have the right to vote. It simply means it isn't federally guaranteed.
This branch of comments goes back to a commenter who made the accurate point that the US is closer to a liberal democracy than China.

>If we're good to slide on our principles and ideals "as long as we can tell ourselves apart from China" that's a pretty sad state.

This is conflating a differentiation for a justification. We can form coherent thoughts about the relative scale of abuses committed by different powers without that meaning we think those abuses are okay.

If we lose our ability to form coherent thoughts about abuses committed by China because we can't express them without also having to labor through false equivalences to U.S. surveillance, those valid and needed criticisms get derailed and the comprehension of China's unique status as an abuser of surveillance infrastructure gets erased. Judging different scales of moral error is important, because otherwise we can never progress from a position of moral error to positive moral standing and we get bogged down with frivolous exercises in whataboutism.
No worries man. You live you learn. Would definitely be checking it again in a few days. Cool concept!
Thank you for that write up.

What about non-chemical life. What I mean by that is something like a giant CPU with traces literally the size of freight trains? I recently finished the first Dark Tower book and it’s got me thinking about scale.
Based on the linked (very cool) map, I don’t think what you say is accurate? A flyby of Ceres would be slightly harder than entering Mars orbit, and entering Ceres orbit would be harder than entering Neptune orbit.

How would we characterize the law under the one-child policy specifying that minorities are free to have two children, but Chinese are limited to one?

That's one of the biggest reasons I left - docker. Windows is inching closer with WSL and Windows Terminal, so I might check it out in a year or so once it's stabilized. But needing to run a VM with impossible image build times (forget about running minikube) is definitely something I don't miss anymore.

You can pay for a tiling manager on the Mac, but it's definitely not as good as the alternative.
No, it is not at all identical because riders only get to see the prices that uber wants them to see rather than all the rates that would be available if drivers could set their own rates, thus "the market rate" cannot escape a threshold that is contrary to uber's business prerogatives.
This debate seems to be about what's a user vs. a contractor vs. an employee. Does the fact that I walk a Google device around enabling Google to record rich profitable data, in exchange for extracting some value from their services, make me a contractor or an employee? Because for sure it doesn't sound like it makes me a user.

Edit: spelling.
WWII submarine generators produced DC, so they couldn't have been used directly as backup power for a hospital. Maybe they were refitted with alternators.

Lots of women in IT (or 'DP' for 'data processing') back then.

You get a lot more visibility and control with iSCSI, ATA over eth, infiniband, etc. The downside is you need to use and understand that visibility and control. EBS is surfaced to you as a simple locally attached block dev. The network performance and challenges are not just managed for you, they’re largely opaque. As the user you can’t observe the (equivalent to) fiber channel topology, SCSI commands, discarded frames, etc. and that’s the power of EBS as well, users don’t have to deal with anything besides a locally attached virtual disk.
You can't just throw art in the mix there. One can absolutely see collectibles as ridiculous while placing great value on art. One can also understand why people value collectibles, and also think it ridiculous. They're empty.

My first awareness of Ceres was from an article by Isaac Asimov titled, "The World Ceres". (Say it out loud.)
It's equivalent to submitting a lower bid.

(The point is moot though because apparently Uber rolled out a feature that allows drivers in California to set their rates).
Isn't the title of the post just doing the same thing? It's not death by powerpoint, it's more like "death by foam block and also some inconsequential bad choices by bureaucrats that couldn't do much help the already doomed crew." But that's not as clickable.

I have a feeling the crew knew the very significant risks of coming back. But if they inspected and seen the scope of the damage, they would have just been left with an even harder decision - choose to die slowly or to die quickly. There was never a chance of rescue or repair. Better just hope it holds together and try.

But yup, typical engineer slide, all words, no pictures. And yes we are predictably bad at communicating with the "normals".

The same photographer posted a very slow motion version of the same video: https://youtu.be/0tQ80Sj3QUs?t=122

Also note that you can hit "." on a paused video on youtube to go frame-by-frame.

Some observations:

* The camera vibrates long before the pressure wave reaches it. I assume this is due to energy traveling through the ground (i.e. an earthquake).

* On the third building from the bottom left there is some light reflected from another building's windows. Once the camera stops moving, these seem to still be moving.

* As the camera falls, two frames show a Nikon camera strap and a separate camera. It appears as if the photographer is taking stills. I haven't been able to find that these photographs were published, perhaps none were taken of the blast.
According to the link above, it's the difference between deflagration and detonation.
The example with welders would work if there were consumers individually bargaining with each welder / driver. However prices are set by an opaque algorithm, and I as a consumer or as a driver cannot actually control the offer, or offer more/less. In this context, I believe the algorithm/Uber is the one doing price fixing in real-time, and the drivers are merely trying to reign it in.
