Are you suggesting we run everything on equity? Lend without interest (why would the lender be interested)? Something else?

Our society uses debt for an enormous number of things: business loans, car loans, mortgages. Simply prohibiting these seems like a cure worse than the disease?
I should add that both monitors are connected via DisplayPort. Also, I found that cheap DP cables can really mess things up. Eventually I found via the VESA website which manufacturers have their cables certified. My go to is called Accell, very solid ever since using their cables.

>If college were priced purely as a positional good, tuitions at lower-tier schools would be be sharply lower than those of upper-tier schools.

Price (to the buyer) is more than just tuition -- the more prestigious ones are more selective, which is effectively a higher price. It has to charge that higher "price" (selectivity) in order to maintain its prestige. And generally the correlation holds, between prestige and price, even if it's not perfect.

If there really is no difference between those colleges you listed, except that one degree is worth more but costs the same, then I agree I can't explain that.

I'm a former electrical engineer transitioning to programming. I've completed a number of side projects over the past 10 years or so, mostly using Python and Django. Currently working on contract positions with the University of Hong Kong for data analysis and web development.
That's just one example of an offender who is unlikely to be reformed. There are many others. It's interesting, though, that down thread, the one program given as an example of this is legalizing prostitution, which many women have been and are forced into both by economic and violent means. Let me just say that that's not the best example to give if you're arguing that you're not advocating that.

I'll agree that rehab is good--if and when it works. There's a lot to be said for helping people obey the law rather than punishing them for disobeying it, especially with laws like mask wearing during a pandemic. But I think that, even there, you'll find some level of compulsion needed and it's odd that this specific example is one where I find other people, though hopefully not you, ready to flip-flop.

Finally, I was more interested in bringing up containment as a reason for incarceration and the choice of criminal example was not something I gave any real thought to. Containment is somehow consistently absent from these discussions about the purpose of prison, even in some scholarly works, despite being rather important. Nobody would write about infectious disease without mentioning quarantines, yet containment is widely ignored as if everyone is cribbing from some list and no purposes that are not on the list even exist.
Do they? (work in reality)? You sound like you want to share information, go ahead.

(And I think you misunderstood something I wrote, but I'm not sure what.

I didn't mean that the same body of government investigate both crashes and police misconduct...

I meant that very often police misconduct is investigated by groups that are adjacent to the police, not impartial.

Even if/when it is a separate group, the 'blue wall of silence' is an effect deterrent to investigation and there doesn't seem to be any interest in counter-acting this.)
No. It's an after thought because they are in the business of equity sales.
We know from discussion elsewhere in the story that "photoids" are considered to use at least a solar system's worth of energy. In the passage you cite we learn the "two-vector foil" uses even more (which makes sense given the fantastical nature of this attack). ISTM the party who has "easy" access to an armory of these doomsday devices will have to wait a really long time for a good reason to fear the party who is still stuck in orbit around a single star.

Liu does lampshade the idea that performing such high-energy attacks should itself be a giant "here is a dangerous enemy" signal, but does so just to write it off as something that never happens. At the very least, frugal genocidal galactic civilizations should probably leave it to other genocidal galactic civilizations to actually do the tremendously expensive genociding. Given the eagerness we see in this passage, it can't be uncommon for multiple attacks to be launched by different parties simultaneously!

It's a great trilogy, and I'm glad Netflix are going to do something with it. (I really hope they don't whitewash the casting like many other productions. The fact that most characters are Chinese is important to the story.) This particular aspect just stood out to me.
> While access times cross-references and identification is still theoretically possible, it should be an entirely different game.

How are you planning to handle communicating identity across sites with link decoration?
There's been significant stocking issues on PC components since the pandemic began and thus prices have gone all sorts of crazy. You absolutely shouldn't spend that much on an RX 5700; the performance isn't remotely there to justify that price.
The device you are looking for is called an intervalometer. They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and prices. Each camera manufacturer uses a different connector as well as different connectors from the same maker, so you have to make sure you get the right one. Some cameras have one built-in (or can run hacked firmware to use one). The advantage is no external device needed. There's also software you can run on a laptop connected to the camera that will not only control the camera but also save the image directly to the computer. Lots of ways to skin the cat.
You're just making up stuff. You have no idea what you're talking about. You're clearly not a Mac developer.

Nobody should be listening to this long-winded fable spun out of yarn.

I mean, I could go through that whole thing and refute it line-by-line, but I'm just astonished that you think you get to invent all this stuff out of thin air. It's totally wrong, and you don't even have first-hand knowledge of it.
That’s unfortunate. Meanwhile the JavaScript framework Vue is bringing in the following and more from other location:

I find it odd that a technology I could easily reproduce myself brings in so much money compared to a project that is so incredibly far beyond my capabilities.
The two languages really should be used as different tools as although there is obviously significant use-case overlap, each excels at its own niche. C++ is quite beyond C with classes. Personally, I think C++ should continue to evolve far away from C (though as of C++20 we now have C99's designated initializers). C is "perfect" for what it is, dare I say it. C++ can incorporate things we've learned from other languages like Rust's memory safety and be better for it. Though to be fully honest I haven't totally worked through the revised memory model of C++20 and it would be great if someone could shed some light on that.
Tips for stable and portable software
The idea that there can be an authority that tells good people from bad people is literally Nazi playbook.
I have grown weary of supporting Bezos' empire and ordering as much as I can from Walmart in recent months once I noticed that his media arm (WaPo) was fueling the flames of COVID hysteria and BLM's destruction, which only helped Amazon and other Big Tech players strangle small American businesses in favor of offshore, mostly Chinese companies.

Next step is moving my company's cloud from AWS to Azure. Not sure yet what to do about the surveillance devices (Alexa) as I want something that can run without an internet connection to a Big Tech company.
It's disappointing for me. The 970 launched at $330. I bought my 1070 at the launch price of $400. The 3070 is $500. I don't like this trend.
Do you like roulette?
Youtube operates on a freemium model where most people pay nothing other than a few cents received here and there viewing ads. If Patreon starts becoming the new Youtube their bandwidth bills will skyrocket and they will have to reduce creator compensation. If they become a paywalled YouTube (after the hypothetical death of YouTube) it will harm discovery.
I'm honestly baffled by the downvotes. Do readers not know that what I described is what led to what the article claims as the cause? To simplify: it wasn't who guaranteed the loans that was the problem, it was the expansion of loans and their general replacement of grants that led to cost inflation and the resulting crippling debt.

Here's just one of hundreds of explanations of how Reagan fucked higher ed. It's not a theory--it's a very basic and well-documented fact.

https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2019/09/colleg...

From that article:
"The shift began in the 1980s, in terms of a changing political philosophy. President Ronald Reagan’s budget director, David Stockman, said in 1981, “If people want to go to college bad enough, then there is opportunity and responsibility on their part to finance their way through the best way they can.” When those who argued that college is a private benefit framed it like that, it became logical to say that education should be paid for by the people that it benefits. And so in the 1990s, the vast expansion of loans for higher education began."

And you can track--with plentiful data--the rise of college costs in direct parallel to this shift, year over year.
RxDB is using RxJS and is meant for building an observable DB on the client side (i.e. it has local data and works offline). If you were using it server-side with Node, it wouldn't be as compelling.
The one point I'll make is, Tesla solved all these problems. But that only makes it equivalent to ICE vehicles in someways and still worse in others.

UX to find charging stations and having to plan trips? That's impressive if the alternative wasn't ubiquitous gas stations literally everywhere with 5 minute fill up times.

The supercharger network is great but people want to be able to mainly charge at work and at home not on I-79 or someone else's business. And no one wants to foot that infrastructure bill right now.

I keep trying to get the message out. When your employer sends out these surveys, rate everything at the highest level possible. Nothing good can possibly come from giving bad ratings. If your boss/employer can't figure out how to improve things outside of those surveys, they won't figure it out from the survey. All you are doing is creating a bureaucratic headache for your boss which is going to trickle down to you.

I've also gone through this process and evaluated Firebase, Realm, Pouch/Couch...

The Linux drivers refuse to properly detect the supported resolutions on any of my monitors. They get the native resolution, plus 1024x768.

This is real frustrating when I want to play older games that only support 4:3 and 5:4 resolutions, because I have to knock them all the way down to 1024x768.

There's a roundabout way to manually add custom resolutions, but I've never gotten it to work with X. Maybe it would play nicer with Wayland, if Nvidia made any real effort to actually support it.
YouTube is just monetizing a different part of your funnel. They both work together — you might not get many viewers interested in sending you money via Patreon either if your videos weren't getting an audience on YouTube via said algo...

> Do you think that the fact Thunder Bay had fewer than 100 COVID cases might have been because of their access to the COVID database, and their ability to enforce the Quarantine Act?

The premise here is that the police force needed to search the COVID database 150 times a day to enforce the quarantine act and that when asked why they were searching so frequently they were afraid to tell the federal government that they were using the queries as a tool for enforcing the law.

I am pretty sceptical of that theory.

Of course since they lost their access more than a month ago there have been a handful of new cases.. so it seems like we also have some empirical evidence that undermines this theory.

I'd love to hear a plausible explanation for 150 searches of the COVID-19 database per day in community with just over 100K residents and a police force of around 320 employees for the purposes of genuine police work.

It's interesting that the NE states seem to now be lauded when actually NJ, NY, MA and CT have the highest per-capita death rates [0] in the WORLD [1] by far despite significant lockdowns, comprehensive & early mask mandates and fairly conservative reopening (e.g. NYC).

Although New England seems to be doing well since earlier in the summer, we did NOT do well overall. For example, MA at #3 has had 8831 deaths for 6.9M people. The average age of the dead is 82, 65% of all deaths from long term care homes [2] -- this was a failure to protect the vulnerable.

As for NE cases being imported, we saw a small uptick on Cape Cod with vacationers (resulting in Baker's recent travel order) but the back-to-school has only found a few dozen positive cases over the last few weeks despite massive and ongoing testing [3].

I'm not sure your comment about "most of the European countries" is correct. France is seeing near-record cases [4] Spain has seen a very significant surge [5] resulting in a lockdown of the Barcelona area and Germany is also seeing a worrying uptick in cases [6].

NPR has done a couple series on how dollar stores (Dollar General/Dollar Tree/Family Dollar, just search "NPR dollar general" to see the content) can setup shop directly next door to a traditional grocery store and erode the traditional grocery store out of business. Reason being - dollar stores sell only the high margin items for low prices, whereas the grocery store has the expectation that they will provide all the staples people need, even the super low-margin items like lettuce. Once a grocery store loses the competition on the high margin items, they can no longer subsidize selling the low margin items and go out of business. A real (and growing) problem in many communities.
> Universities in Europe are generally high quality and low cost.

But they’re not universal and there’s nowhere near the level of handholding and support that’s common in US universities with high tuition, i.e. private ones. If you have a problem in a German university it’s on you to run around and solve it and if you can’t the administrators are quite likely to say “tough” if you tell them. Missed a deadline? Your problem, should have read the syllabus. Come back next year.
