Politicians have to be seen doing "something". Lose the battle over progressive property tax and win the war for justifying Euclidean zoning segregation - LA is the definition of urban sprawl. Local tax districts are still subject to gerrymandering; the local strip mall dollars will go to the "right" neighborhood(s), especially as they are usually located at or made into barriers between neighborhoods with new and old development along major traffic arteries. Businesses do not vote except with their feet and lobbying dollars. Majority of property tax revenue is residential and unaffected: sprawl + business property tax abatements. Passage of 15 puts a new barrier to removal in favor of 13 given local setups that will be based around 15 - such as the "out" small businesses vs "in" big box. Industrial properties could have been thrown in to further the case; not like CA will make electric cars for long - Tesla has already hopped over to NV with China not far behind.
But Redox is not a real time OS is it? I've not seen it written as part of the design or as a future goal.
It's modeling the firing of neurons contracting muscles. C. elegans is capable of learning about its environment, looking for food, finding a mate, and so forth.

It's only 1mm long and has 300 neurons.

You're going to scale to 86 billion neurons by 2084?

I hate to call shenanigans, but the idea that you will have made any real progress on a mammal of any size in 60 years is not realistic. If "Life is Precious" (as stated in your pitch) why not spend the money on things that are possible for humans that are alive?

I'm confused by this comment and the comment being replied to. Are we still talking about Canadian police?
The goal isn’t to arguably not be failing worse than some other countries are failing.

The NYT piece isn’t about comparing the US to other countries anyway—that’s your narrative, in this context.

The question is whether is makes sense right now in the US to curtail testing of asymptomatic people who have had a high-risk exposure event, as the CDC is recommending now.

That’s hard to understand from a health policy perspective. Meanwhile the ultimate boss of the CDC has explicitly stated he’d like to see less testing so we’d have fewer cases, so it’s not that wild a conspiracy theory to wonder if this isn’t a partisan political recommendation not a scientific one.
Or a kite!

News Corp has an impressive series of failed things they “knew” they could do better than everyone else in digital media.

I wouldn't expect them to be any more successful with a facially neutral legislative framework that they think they can work better than anyone else.

If you trust in the science of conservation of energy you can release a iron ball on a pendulum from your nose and stand there waiting for the return, without taking a step back.

If you trust in the science of viral load not mattering, you will pick randomly when given the choice of having 1 or 5 novel viral particles placed in your nasal cavity. Nobody sane trusts that.

Yes, viral load is correlated with higher severity for majority of flu-like illnesses, supported by research. Even if this coronavirus is somehow different, combating viral load is still beneficial for avoiding viral viral co-infection (getting COVID-19 with severe influenza on top).
Oh this is so frustrating with today's OSes. While it is easy to see latency as being an issue with media centric applications (gaming, music ..), a mundane impact has been the increase in interactions where you do something like click on a menu item and the menu item item refreshes before receiving the click and then takes it as happening on a different item.

The human is still faster than the computer!

Realistically, the streamers are safe. You can't really compare it to a girl working in meat space, who is potentially being threatened by not just her clients, but also the management of the club, potentially her own pimp, other pimps and maybe other girls in the business as well.

Streamers getting doxxed is not really a thing, and they have viewers from around the world. Anyhow, I think your concern is not warranted, otherwise we would already be hearing more about these kind of incidents.

I have heard of a few incidents like this happening to Kpop groups, but there you have 1) mega audience 2) crazy fans 3) physical interaction (concerts) so streamers at least at an advantage re: 3.

"A single ticket to an NBA playoff game ranges from about $150 to over $5,000 (back when you could go).

Being front row to an NBA game or Symphony are is totally incomparable to 'watching at home'.

'To each is own' but one is a commodity, one is not, which guarantees the pricing structure even if we valued them the same.

So these examples won't help us understand I think why people pay sex workers to pay attention to them.
But how to know if the bird is flying or driving?
I'm pretty sure you're reading this line wrong (though I don't blame you; the wording could probably be improved here). But I believe what the author is saying is "you can use these techniques in any language, but if you aren't using Haskell they might be more annoying to implement or maintain".
Agreed. I still don't know what this demo is even about, but looks cool.
Is there a public posting of this position? Not OP, but I am a practicing DS using ML for pricing models in a separate industry with an interest in both Julia and the finance space.

Lending with interest (Usury) creates systemic instability, in a similar way that Dollar Auction scheme does. There's no way to have stable financial system in the presence of wide-spread usury. This fact has been known to ancient cultures, which routinely banned usury or counter-acted by having an universal debt-jubilees.

Linux used to do that out of the box. But there was a series of "quasi-real time has too much maintenance costs", "quasi-real time isn't even real enough for the real gains", and "our computers are fast now, we don't have to trade so much throughput for latency" decisions that were all very sensible but let us here.

Right plus $35 minimum is a non starter
That’s a really good point, reducing access would help here.

If you’re a nation state with the resources of Saudi Arabia, it still wouldn’t be impossible to bribe or blackmail an employee who has prod access because companies don’t have much of an eye on employees private lives. They would have the resources and theoretically the incentive to really dig into the social engineering/coercion side of things. You’d be amazed how many people that make incredible salaries are in fairly significant amounts of debt. It’s pretty common in western culture, and that’s a prime opportunity for those kinds of operations.
16xx series is just lower end 20xx.
I'm not sure they're faking it. My guess is that News Corp's lobbyists are so persuasive they convinced the politicians that Australian news would die without this law.
I disagree that objects and monads are the same level of building block in the respective paradigms.

Objects <> Java and functions <> Haskell might be a better comparison.

Not to mention that there's already a person's intuition about what an "object" might be before they even learn programming. But there's no real-world analog to what a Monad is. So, yes, you do get into the situation where a programmer will say, "what? I didn't sign up for this" when being told to learn Monads to use Haskell.
It's defined in the law and up to the whim of the treasurer.

This is a really, really misguided law (and that's being generous).
Interesting... maybe I haven't taken enough Ubers to notice, but I generally can't tell the difference between a 4.9 driver and a 4.7 driver.

> France, Italy, Hungary, Spain, Belgium, UK, Netherlands, all have worse CFR's than Sweden.

I mean if we're gonna talk about cherry-picking, did you notice that more than half of the countries you picked were the earliest hot-spots of the outbreak in Europe?

In any case, although the comment you are referring to mentions CFR, the article itself does not use CFR, it uses "Confirmed deaths per million people" as its metric. Still hard to see Sweden as a particularly standout good case in that data.

Well, if nothing else, it means you'll have extremely quick connectivity between your GitHub Action Runner and the registry :)

As mentioned, this is best (for now) as a dev/test tool, rather than a general container registry.

This is largely the fault of nvidia's optimus setup. They're starting to support it finally but it's still iffy
I think you might be underestimating how dumb many criminals are on social media. They pose with their guns, show their gang tattoos, are friends with other gang members, post stacks of cash. Half of their pictures are them giving the middle finger in the hand not holding their gun. They post pictures of stolen items and even try to sell them. This isn’t minority report that we are talking about.
What is this ranking site (QS world)? Not to dismiss it outright, I'm just usually suspicious of any rankings aggregator of universities at this point.
I think their point is that most of the University of Phoenix's programs are online.
I think an easier approach is that once you have good IPv6 connectivity you could do something like a unique address per day per host. Every device could have 100M ip addresses and it wouldn't touch the IPv6 address space (10 billion humans * 100 devices = 0.000005% of the IPv6 address space).

Edit: My math is wrong. I thought IPv6 was 2^64, but it's actually 2^128, so that percentage is 10^20 times more miniscule.
This is a big part of it, at least in smaller communities.

People want to show their gratitude. It's more relevant to the Twitch conversations. OF is basically all paid members where twitch, the ratio is probably 20:1 or worse, free to paid.

The people who are paying are doing so because they want to, not because they have to. That's one big difference between Twitch and Onlyfans.
And nonsensical. What is the value in telling other people they are wrong for liking the things they like?
34% is a decent number, but that includes both Community Colleges, Cal State Schools and UC, all of which have opened additional locations in the last 45 years, as more and more jobs in the state require a college education.

If you want to accuse the universities of spending more, do you have data to back up that assertion that they are spending significantly more on a real, per-student basis?
I'm still missing a connection. I hear what you're saying, but I don't understand how prop 15 passing leads to the outcomes you describe.
My takeaway: Bella Thorne scammed tens of thousands of people, OnlyFans didnt kick her off the platform, WTF?
Holy shit, it just made sense why so many students in my Master's Degree are operating out of Virginia and Washington, DC.
You send the key event and THEN start the debounce timer. I think most people tasked with writing a debounce function wait for the key state to change, then start a timer for how long they think the switch will bounce for, check the state after the timer expires, and then send the key event. Obviously, that adds latency. But what you can do instead is send the key event immediately and then completely ignore events during the debounce interval.
The guy overseeing this law is 70 years old, so I'll tend to believe it.
More often than not, people want build artifacts in the same security profile / performance profile as their CI/CD pipelines. Think of this more as services to support your GitHub Action workflows - where inter-service bandwidth is free and highly performant.

I have personally witnessed a $5000 donation on a stream. The logistics of that much money flowing to these streamers is staggering.
You're replying from the point of view of the providers (the prostitutes), but the question I answered was about whether paid attention "was worth it" from the point of view of the clients. It obviously is, otherwise prostitution wouldn't have been so widespread for so long.
We need to immediately stop Government-back student loans that can't be discharged in a bankruptcy. Then tuition will drop like a rock.

I would never support student loan forgiveness until the Government stopped the loans!
I went to a public university with a good engineering program. After freshman year I took most of the Edx circuits course from MIT to see what the ivy league education advantage would be. It was pretty much the exact same topics and lectures. I thought the MIT lecturer did a slightly better job and I'm sure all the students were smarter than me, but I feel like I learned the same things for a fraction of the cost.
The same could be said about celebrity. Fans of actresses and actors believe they have a relationship with them. That is why they get so invested in their love lives. A whole industry of gossip and paparazzi has been built to follow the ins and outs of your favourite celebrity.
What is the difference between that and your favourite cam girl or twitch streamer?
How specifically?
They are another facebook. They will turn cancerous very soon, if they haven't already.
It's not worth it.

If anything, the news orgs should be paying fb/google for giving them traffic at all.
That does happen some, but it would be much harder for large companies to have an off-the-books policy of requiring a college degree if they couldn't talk about it with each other or put anything in writing for fear it would come out in a suit.
This doesn’t do either of those things.
Roads are long due for a replacement but something more efficient and cost effective.

What could that possibly be? I don't know of anything even on the horizon. Rails and steel wheels are more energy efficient but far more costly to build and maintain. Other nations use rail well by ... not having sprawl. Suburban sprawl essentially rests on the private automobile. As the gp essentially said, the draw of sprawl is a big house and a car, which can be nice 'till your whole planet is on fire and you're choking in rubble (I live in California, can you tell - But Texas will notce climate change too, if they haven't). A road is a just a flat piece of ground, it's pretty hard to find something simpler. Freeways are cheaper to build than railways. But the cost of rebuilding gets huge.

So basically, there are not solutions to these problems. We've basically hit Decline of the Roman Empire levels here. That empire took hundred of years to fall. I'm hoping things last past my lifetime.
How universal are they?

Nor did I. I asked if we could do the same function with an equal volume. Moore's law is dead. We're not going to scale performance forever. What good is an emulated human brain if it's the size of a building and takes a power plant to operate?

You are missing the forest for the trees. Yes we have access to more info than before, but for example not much more than we did in 2010. In fact in 2010 the signal to noise ratio was much higher.

I am not going to go point by point with you because frankly I don’t feel like it, but I can tell you that you are way off mark on all of them. As a sampling:

This pandemic has affected everything in a way that no other pandemic in the past has. The Ebola outbreak was the last thing we had dealt with as far as global health crises go and it pales in comparison. The Spanish Flu was in the era before TVs. Yet it was clearly such a huge global event that we all still know about it. 100 years from now COVID will be talked about abs studied. It is huge.

Trump’s admin couldn’t exist without Twitter. In a nutshell the GOP could tell that progressives as well as establishment democrats were starting to gain momentum under Obama while the Tea Party did major damage to the image of the GOP as the grown up party. So they sold their party to Trump and got his followers in the bargain. His followers are young, tech savvy, and very enthusiastic so short term it’s a good gamble. But imagine if any one of the Trump scandals has dropped for any other President. None of them could have survived it because none of them had the kind of blind cult behind them. Also, our president has a fucking cult. How is that not rare?
Why? Jack is a fine man. They are in a hard place to please everyone.

My experience with a 1060 on Ubuntu is that it was fairly buggy in the early days, and has gotten better.

I don't have too many problems now, but just recently I ran into trouble with any application that used OpenGL not working, and it went away when I rebooted.

In general I'd say they've done an okay job, but still I've seen enough bugs to say they have room for improvement.

I don't know how many of those bugs are Nvidia's fault explicitly; Linux is a bit of a wild west when it comes to software configuration, and they can't test everything or fix every buggy application.

Thanks!

I was in the same boat before COVID. Podcastmarks is mobile friendly which should allow you to listen to the podcasts while driving. I do have app options in the works.

Biggest issue I saw with using Podcastmarks while driving would be the bookmarking and potentially adding notes. I would need to explore more voice control options as I move forward. That is an area I am not sure about in regards to building the app and using it while driving.

But, I appreciate the feedback! I definitely will add your ideas to the growing list of suggestions to help triage development efforts. It does appear I need to make it more apparent there is a mobile ready option currently available.

In the meantime feel free to check out Podcastmarks and let me know what you think!
