> The GOP has no power in California, though, and that’s been true for over a decade.

The GOP could still block tax increases (including any tax rearrangement that included an increase in some aspect), because of the supermajority requirement, until the Senate class elected in 2018, which was significantly less than a decade ago.

> The US is at or near the top for cancer 5 year survival rates.

That doesn't mean anything for someone with cancer and no health insurance. If they show up to a emergency room expecting top tier cancer treatment some people in the US can afford, they are not going to get it, while they would in other first world countries. This is what my post was addressing.

Ironically, cancer survival rates are almost the only metric[1] by which the US medical system outranks other nations. When it comes to quality of care, health outcomes, mortality rates, etc they are almost all universally worse in the US than other first world nations[1].

I don’t know what you are comparing. A power outage due to an accident, affecting a limited population is very different than blackouts. Such emergency outages happen every day

I find it strange that a town with multiple high-tech fortune 500's can't power itself. This begs several questions on adequate management of taxation at the local level, and corporate interest in their own community's ability to support them.

Really insightful, I didn't even realize any of that.

I really thought both the Foundation and the Corporation were hurting.

I'm assuming the research you refer to is their WebVR thing and I get it but how do they abandon Servo as a core differentiator and then focus on something that is at best years away.

If she were performing, fine, take your $2.5 million but when you let 1/4 of your team go and should have seen it coming, I'm just not so sure it's a justification for management.

They're a browser - or should be - and the internet didn't just up and get quarantined because of the pandemic. To me, it's apparent that they saw the browser as secondary to the other items and it made no sense.

Really interesting analysis, thanks.

The fact that in some countries they haven't reduced the amount of work hours, despite becoming richer, says a lot to me.
That statement cuts so deep. In my experience, this is true for all communication. I've experienced multiple times that I'm not speaking the same Dutch (native) or English (second language) as the other person and it's always quite an upsetting realization.
There’s no evidence that a strict lockdown for several weeks can practically eliminate coronavirus indefinitely without perfect control over a non-permiable border.

As soon as people (or even goods) can move freely across the border of your strictly locked down area you’re back to positive cases spreading through a susceptible population.

There are lots of random downvotes for no real reason. Sometimes perfectly ordinary posts are dead. I try to upvote gray posts if they're not worthless.

That said, my take (and that of siblings) is that I'm much better off building my own containers than serving as unpaid Q&A for Bitnami. It would be smart to use containers built by people more expert than I am. Containers that are broken by default do not meet that criteria. So, "reach out to community support" is not helpful to people that have already decided to ditch Bitnami.

> We're careful to pin versions, and hadn't anticipated someone would re-write history and break published code.

This is exactly the kind of thing that will make me ditch a company forever and never look back.
That's only one of several meanings of "jealousy".

Excerpted from the OED:

> 3. Solicitude or anxiety for the preservation or well-being of something; vigilance in guarding a possession from loss or damage.

> 4. The state of mind arising from the suspicion, apprehension, or knowledge of rivalry:

> b. in respect of success or advantage: Fear of losing some good through the rivalry of another; resentment or ill-will towards another on account of advantage or superiority, possible or actual, on his part; envy, grudge.

You're focusing on definition (3), but ignoring other aspects found in (4.b).

AIUI, Oracle provides:

1. "Oracle OpenJDK": free, open source builds of the current version of OpenJDK, at https://jdk.java.net/

2. "Oracle JDK": expensive, licensed builds of several versions of OpenJDK (plus their special patches?), at https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.ht...

See:

https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/01/16/which-java-sdk

You can't get a maintained build of 11, the current LTS, from Oracle for free. Hence, AdoptOpenJDK and some other players provide that.

I keep meaning to look into Corretto, Amazon's patched build of JDK 8 and 11:

https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/

Amazon use it internally, so it is battle tested, and their 8 version has loads of good patches:

11 is pretty vanilla right now, but could get better with age.

Fair enough, I thought about doing that too. I chose for the mind, but IMO the body is a good option as well, especially because if you choose the right profession (i.e. light to medium exercise), it probably means you'll live longer.

Great project, but that GIF is cinematic cringe. Maybe I don't feel so good.

No indication of the exact model, or what it has for RAM or HDs. I would only buy ones that had a screen shot of the console output, since then you have some confidence that it actually boots.
> I wonder if the climate control units in office buildings have even been switched off when not in use.

even if they're on, there'll be much less for them to do. fewer people opening doors, fewer bodies producing heat, less non-HVAC electrical demand (much of which ends up as heat).
This was a single family home, 3 bed 1 bath. Incidentally, the basement was smaller than the house itself, which I guess why the hatch wasn't in the bathroom itself(which was over empty crawlspace).

I'd never considered the child aspect, but that may explain why it had a lock on it(the turn up, push/pull, turn down kind, like on public restroom doors, unsure what they're called). Also, why it was so heavy. I wish I'd taken pics of it. From memory, it was probably 8"x8", about 2" thick. A small child could fit in it, but would probably have difficulty opening it.

She may be oversimplifying certain aspects, and the examples may not be that practical, but my main take away from the article was that it can be advantageous to shift focus from taking control (by sheer force of will) in a situation where you've already succumbed to some kind of temptation, to avoid ending up in those kinds of situations by taking comparatively easier preventive measures earlier in the cycle.
> In places where people refuse to wear masks and social distance... Let them die at slightly elevated rates

It's not necessarily them who die, though. A COVID-19 carrier who refuses to wear a mask and comply with social distancing might just infect you regardless of you wearing your mask.

> They stream themselves coding at the same time each week without fail.

Nope. Anybody who streams themselves coding is not a real coder. Coding is not rapid fire typing memorized boilerplate code to techno background music. Real life is not Mr Robot. When they do it at the same time each week that's the reddest of red flags that they're performing an act. It's all staged. As staged as professional wrestling is kayfabe.

Real coding doesn't happen on a strict schedule. There's research, design, and testing to be done and mistakes to be made and corrected. Typing out the code is the least important part of coding and by far the least interesting. But real work doesn't hold the attention of techbro posers long enough to sell ads now does it.
Which makes sense. Everybody should have the tools to do their work provided to them (for free), but their work paid.

"I agree they should allow a way to sideload apps"

I think this sentence means you agree with the comment you're replying to. That's basically all Apple needs to do, if you can install apps in a way that doesn't involve Apples store then they can do and charge whatever they want with it.

The only reason people have a problem with Apples 30% cut and review restrictions is because there's no other option.

The CO2 is pulled out of the air by plants, during gasification you convert some of this biomass into CO2, water and energy, by burning the syngas; and some you leave behind as biochar. This biochar gets buried into the soil, creating the equilibrium deficit that you're looking for. Biochar is also estimated to be stable for some 10,000 years...thus its pretty much the only reversal to mining coal that we have.

Not using the biomass results in methane, which is estimated to be 86 times worse (as a greenhouse gas compared to CO2 alone) for our atmosphere than CO2 alone.
Did you even try to look at scientific literature before making such claim? Or you are just saying what has been told to you by cnn?

Odd that they would patch out of schedule. Usually would expect this on the third week of January, April, July, and September with the normal TLS schedule.

I think the parent comment is relevant since the blog post (and subsequent comments here) praises the hacker/anti-institutionalist mentality of the Media Lab. Yet when Schwartz practiced altruistic, civil disobedience in line with that sentiment, MIT's response was to sue him until he killed himself.

Another way: hang a flyer or bag on their door knob. Include a free pen that has a hidden microphone/transmitter in it. People stick things on doors all the time for marketing purposes, so probably not too suspicious.
The obvious target is apps, develop a simplified layout/styling model for properties which can be scoped within a component, and build a layout engine which can calculate the layout within those components independently, and then you could radically improve the performance of web UI.
I don't think students should pay for education, correct. I would enjoy life more if education was free and I'm free to pursue whatever I wanted to learn.

It would be even cooler if I was paid to learn so teachers get to experiment with all different ways to teach and they are fully vested into my growth.

No problem, you don't need that. Just use tables.
One approach that has helped me with weight is greatly reducing the calories in beverages. When in my 20s, I drank whole milk, full sugar soft drinks, coffee with sugar & cream, sweetened iced tea. Over time, I graduated from whole milk to 2%, then 1% then non-fat. That took about a year. I went from full sugar to diet sodas then found that fresh lime juice and carbonated mineral water was immensely satisfying. I dropped the sweetener from iced tea and added more lemon. Dropped the sugar in coffee and made a go a the cream, but so far, I still prefer it with cream.

It'd be a bit of work to figure out how much I might weigh if I hadn't reduced it that much, but likely 20 pounds or so?
This kind of metric always seemed stupid to me. Many countries are allies of the US, Russia, or China, due to their luck at having a strategic location on the globe, and thus don't have to spend as much in their military, as they can always rely on their allied superpower to take care of them.

Remember that the literal text of Title IX just bans sex discrimination. When people discuss "Title IX" as a concept, they're generally referring to the general attitudes towards sex and romance in American universities, where authorities are instructed and acculturated to view all but the most squeaky-clean things as extreme misconduct which justifies booting out the accused.
Agreed. Feels like KassemG’s old videos asking Californians random things.
The transgender and gender-diverse vs. cisgender effect sizes are equivalent to or larger than the autism vs. non-autism effect sizes and the cisgender male vs. cisgender female effect sizes in non-autistic individuals.

if i understand that right, whether you're trans is a better indicator of whether you have autistic traits than a) your assigned sex or b) whether you are diagnosed with autism

No. This is gatekeeping at it's finest. You can say that while they stream they are working on their social media presence more than the codebase, but streaming per-se doesn't stop them from being "real coders".

Everyone codes however they want. What works for you might be different for someone else. And wanting to do it while interacting with an audience or streaming themselves creating something they already know how to do are all completely fine things.
I’ll share my story...

Just a couple years ago, I weighed 25lbs less. I could bench press 200lbs, although I only weighed ~170lbs. I could do 10 pull ups with a super wide grip with a belt on my waste and two 45lb plates hanging off that belt.

As I’ve progressed further in my career, my priorities have shifted to the detriment of my health. With COVID, I stopped working out completely and began eating garbage. I went back to the gym two weeks ago and could hardly bench press 135lbs.

After getting married, my spouse purchases foods that I previously never ate before. Genetically, she’s inclined to be more naturally fit. On the other hand, I have to massively cut carbs and do cardio to avoid forming love handles.

So with all that extra stuff in our pantry and the stress I now have from work, I naturally grab potato chips and whatever else to call my nerves (not that it really helps buts it’s immediate comfort)
I would not consider this project a proper SaaS boilerplate. It is a Web application boilerplate and maybe a good one, but not SaaS.

SaaS implies multi-tenancy and your project does not seem to offer support for that.
