"Morality: principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior."

You have never met someone who believes you can make a distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior?

Please state clearly what you do mean, or the exact objections you have with what I'm saying.

I don't "simply have an alternative opinion." I view your actions as wrong.

I'm sorry, but you're framing this as a debate where I have a bizarre opinion, and I don't understand your claims or objections.

There are valid reasons to boycott companies. Do you disagree with that?
I was reading some articles from when the internet was in its early days, and they were so full of hope and excitement. They were looking forward to how well everyone could be informed. There was one anecdote where someone had a less rosy view, and he worried that the access to a vast amount of information would lead to people becoming very polarized. This really struck me because I often feel like I can look something up and find 10 good articles on both sides that will really vindicate either view. I think in some ways it’s human nature to go with the view you prefer, and then if you find some articles, you can really trick yourself into feeling correct or very certain about something, despite the fact the information you found might be false. This is something I struggle with a lot, and I have troubles figuring out if a source is good. Your comment about assessing the value of information and information not being provided in good faith struck a chord.
I had a driver tell me he’d get his friends to call in fake rides if things were slow, which meant that he got to the front faster. He was convinced everyone else was doing it too.

> Research is part of the pedagogy. Getting involved in a research lab as an undergraduate is a great way to land in the top 5-10 percentile.

I just want to point out for any newer undergrads that might be reading that research is really one of the best things you can do during your time at school. Even if you don't plan on going into academia, it looks great on a resume and professors are often have industry connections that can get you an internship easily.

Having recently driven on South Florida freeways, I can vouch for this statement.
My United States would continue to support the World Health Organization and cooperation with the Covid-19 Vaccines Global Access Facility (Covax) which includes China and nearly everyone else. Why do we keep Donald Trump around when he clearly does not understand or care. He'll probably loose the election, but, considering the damage he continues to do, we really need him gone sooner.

If we are to have a future as a species, we need go cooperate and work together. The COVID-19 Pandemic is just the first of many existential crises we will face in the next couple of decades. Global cooperation will be needed to ensure human survival in the face of global warming (and other assorted crises). So far, in the COVID-19 Pandemic, the US has earned a failing grade. Where will we be when the going gets much much worse.
Part of the problem is that police are being tasked with the impossible: to increase closure rates on crimes for which they have little evidence.

This is part of us in Canada both underfunding social services _and_ offloading the defence of person and property on to the state.

If we properly funded mental health, low income housing and food banks and also allowed citizens to defend their property and their family... Well I suspect that police would have less to do.

Interesting paragraph:

We found truck drivers loaded up with $262,898; city painters making $270,190; firefighters earning $316,306; and plumbing supervisors cleaning up $348,291 every year. One deputy sheriff earned $574,595 last year – including $315,896 in overtime.
Yes! I watched that video many years ago. And then later I remember when media were hyping how "responsive" Apple Pencil was I was thinking what on earth are these people looking at. I thought to myself we would never get there because no one gives a damn about it. How the world has changed!

I often wonder at what cost, could we get it down to Sub Ms. Where everything from Input, Video and Audio are sync to the precision of 1ms. There used to be very little incentive to do so. Now that Gaming has taken over I hope it will develop some market perception and value so we could finally move into that direction.

> There are a lot of pointless liberal arts classes for a STEM degree in the US

Only in a liberal arts program. In an engineering program, there is almost none. Other programs may fall in between. When I was at UC Davis (which was before Biological Sciences was its own college), the non-major liberal arts course load went (both in general, and where multiple colleges had the same degree program, between those specific programs) College of Letters and Science > College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences > College of Engineering.

> For example, my engineering degree required 3 English classes, psychology, fine arts, and sociology.

That's, what, semester and a half all told? That's an odd basis for claiming “a lot”.

> The university says they're there to make you well rounded, but we all know it's an excuse to charge more money.

No, if they wanted an excuse to charge you more money they'd drop the liberal arts requirement, keep the length of the program constant, and add more engineering courses, whose faculty are much higher paid, and keep the same tuition to cost ratio.
There is nothing about the mere existence of firearms in the nation that requires them to shoot at point that don't both possess them and make moves to use them on the police.

Research in continental Europe does not come from universities but mainly from research institutes, so I'm not sure what you are comparing here...

I'm a senior backend developer with 8 years of experience. I pragmatically follow clean code(SOLID) principles, TDD and CI/CD practices in the projects that I work on. I've also been a tech trainer in brief stints.

Am interested to works with orgs that can provide

* Full remote option.
* Work life balance, with focus on mindful, well engineered solutions. NOTE: Occasional stretches are okay as long as it averages out over a span of under 3 months.
* Transparency & fairness in the organization.
* Interesting peers who set the bar high (and also have low ego).
* Environment that's invested in everyone's career growth.
* Knowledge work, need not be restricted to software dev.

I would love to work on Rust(which I've been picking up at my leisure). Am also aspiring to work on Distributed Systems.
What happened exactly? As you wrote it, your comment might also be read as "She failed to maintain a privacy agreement when a Vice editor doxxed her".

[edit] the third link above describes what happened
non-US PhD programs typically require you have a masters. In the US that is not a requirement, hence the course work. If you are a more mature student coming in (e.g. have a masters) the course work is often a straightforward refresher and you can start doing research when you aren't doing classwork.
> She doxxed a Vice editor when she felt they failed to maintain a privacy agreement.

Why is it that you choose to use "failed to maintain a privacy agreement" to describe the Vice editors publishing her personal information without consent, while using the much more loaded term "doxxed" when she did the same to them?

Do you understand the difference in likely consequences for each party here?

Is there any rational argument that can be made to exonerate the totally shitty behaviour of Vice and it's writers/editors in choosing to invade her privacy after having agreed not to?

>3. ENGAGE

>Importantly, as with your existing social platforms, make sure you engage and interact with your fans, as it’s a two way street. Using this to your advantage enables you to create a more personalised experience and strengthen the bond between you and your fans. OnlyFans private messaging facility puts your fans in direct contact with you, and you can ask what they would like to see. This way you can tailor your plan to give fans more of what they want. Asking fans what they most want will help you understand their preferences and you can build the most popular requests into your plan.

I don't think anything listed here is advice that is specific to Onlyfans. Engagement is generally good for all creators.

I have also supported numerous creators on Patreon, mostly podcasters. Not every creator on Patreon follows this advice. There are certainly some that setup a clear one way transactional relationship in which you donate money and they give you content. However I have subscribed to creators that prioritize interacting with their patrons. That has included live interactive patron-only streams, Q&As, as well as fielding requests for specific content. Patreon also does have private messaging, but I have never used that functionality before so I don't know all the details.

I don't get the impression that all engagement is meant to fool me into thinking that the creator is my friend. I don't think that necessarily would change if the content creators were taking off their clothes versus talking into a microphone. It is really all up to how the creator wants to handle their business. Some like Bella Thorne might do so unethically. That doesn't mean every creator will take that approach.
> "On the other hand, open-source software has a less strict definition, and a different philosophy. You can also see the source code, amongst other things."

No it doesn't. The Open Source definition is very much equivalent with that of Free Software, while having the virtue of being more clear, and I wish FS advocates would take the time to actually read it before talking nonsense.

The political vs non-political aspects have nothing to do with their definitions, but with the organizations behind them.

Also not sure what this had to do with the subject of the article.
See, my granny would have a hard time with this because while us young folk can control two sliders at once with ease, she would go as crosseyed as dead ol' Bessie was when we found her out back last year. Apple seems to expect more and more of us - soon we'll all be forced to be DJ's just to use our cell phones (har har!)
If that's true, your complaint isn't with them police at all, but with the fact that "the system is rigged in deep ways against a young man of color".

To justify these protests, you would have to make the case that it's police conduct that causes black people to commit so many more crimes.

But even in your post here, you're pointing to sentencing, not policing. (Also worth noting that this doesn't explain differentials in first offense rates at all).
In the article they state that they did try to reduce the window size as well but the court deemed it still too large. It’s possible that there is some size small enough to justify though.

The real problem here is that most of these rulings are sealed with no defendant. So it’s great that we had a judge looking out for the public here, but it is apparently far from the norm.
College's rising price could be as simple as transferring the economic surplus of the education, in terms of your future expected salary, to the institution. That literally happens through loans. For some people, as a great WSJ article noted, loans do work out.

That's all blowhards (not you) really mean by "high quality" anyway.

Nonetheless it is quite the puzzle, why there aren't more colleges.

Like Leon Black could afford, just by himself, to found not one, but five world class universities, instead of donating to Harvard, one for each of his children to be admitted to. And yet.

This was the way medical school quotas / exclusions for Jews were dealt with: new medical schools that didn't discriminate!

Maybe it's a little about money. Getting your kids a guaranteed Yale admit probably costs around $20m - then the legacy system can deal with the rest of your family. It's a lot more affordable than founding a school.

Still I don't think it's about money. There isn't some monopoly on schools or lack of spending. Historically, and in my personal belief, someone has to feel they stopped getting a fair deal from the system. Then there will be more schools.
Did something happen?
I think an Uber or AirBnB of higher education is just around the corner. Uber wasn't simply a policy-change in taxi-cabs. It was a change in tech that allowed drivers to find the customers. AirBnB is about computer-based rating system which allows providers and customers rate each other. Computers and internet make that kind of thing possible.

Hey why not allow students to take courses from multiple universities online, and rate those courses? Let professors rate their students, but also students rate their professors.

And pandemic makes people see that they can (or must) study from home anyway, with their computer and video-connection. That simply wasn't technically possible 20 years ago.

E-learning has its pros and cons, but it is still a new field which has room to improve.
I've looked at many programs and most schools claim that they want students to be "well rounded". I think that is pretty common and a scam, but that's just my opinion.

We may have a difference of opinions here, but six classes that I have no actual need for IS a lot to me. I still had to show up for those classes, listen to the instructors, do homework, buy stupid textbooks, and briefly study for the tests even though they were easy. That cost money that was the equivalent of me flushing it down the toilet, but more importantly, robbed me of additional time I could have spent studying for my thermodynamics, electronics, and differential equations classes (things that I was struggling in and I was intentionally paying good money to learn) or sleeping or actually getting to spend time with my fiance.
It was once. I still have a machine in the closet with QNX 6.1 and the Photon GUI. It has a version of Firefox so old it's called Firebird. But after Blackberry bought QNX, they made it closed source and no longer self-hosting. Today you have to cross-compile from Windows.

Grr.
The source for this statistic is sales data from an online legal forms website, originally here: https://legaltemplates.net/resources/personal-family/divorce...

I get that they shouldn’t have had access to this information. I just can’t for the life of me figure out what harm they could have done with it.

In theory you can order a $4 item with free shipping. In practice Amazon is charging $3-$4 to the seller for "fulfillment" aka shipping, plus some other fees. An item that should cost $0.50-$2 probably costs $6-$8 instead.

Walmart has less depth but if you can get store prices you're in a significantly better starting place.
I would generally agree with this, having spent about ~$10k on similar services for each of the last 4 or so years.

Couldn't find anything in that Twitter thread. Last time I used NPM (some months ago, less than 1 year) it was slower and a few times it would change the lock file when used by different co-workers re-running `npm install`. Happy so far with yarn, building faster, and deterministic (as far as we can tell, no more issues after pull requests that update deps)
Yep, I once heard a quote: "rules and laws are like spiderwebs. They are sure to catch insects that cause trouble, but larger animals will just pass on through."
They should try to change name like Edge did, people associate Firefox to an old browser, it reminds them when internet was slow and it carries old memories. No matter how good it can be, it requires an effort for the user to do the switch. and try it out. The effort is probably greater when it's actually a comeback.

A few caveats to be aware of: more scrutinizing employers will recognize that undergraduate research at the same university you attend is usually a gimme. And at my large state school was often used for cheap labor that grad students didn't want to do.
That's a good idea, but I was suggesting something slightly different: try to minimize the number of hand-offs by overlapping shifts and stopping the acceptance of new cases for the outgoing personnel.

The math based on your figured is .02 as in 2%, not 0.02%, and that would indeed be pretty bad but there's a dramatic amount of undercounting of the survivors so your numbers are a bit pointless. (Also if to be fair we're lacking a lot of deaths particular in Russia, China, Iran etc.)
Aside from freeing up space used by my growing collection of older consoles, I'm not convinced full backwards compatibility for PS3 and earlier games should be a hard requirement for PS5. However, all of my older games are physical purchases and I've only recently been blessed with a fast enough home connection to make downloading games practical.

If there is enough demand, I hope that it will be possible to add PS5 support for emulating older downloadable games purchased from the PlayStation Store.

I'm personally more inclined to pay (again) for a quality remastered version on a next gen console. I've enjoyed replaying some of the PS4 remastered games with higher definition graphics (Last of Us, God of War 3, CoD: Modern Warfare, Uncharted Collection, ...) and I still aim for Platinum trophies for my favourites.

Sony has also said "We believe that the overwhelming majority of the 4,000+ PS4 titles will be playable on PS5" (https://blog.us.playstation.com/2020/03/18/unveiling-new-det...) which hopefully covers most of the games I've bought in the last 6 or so years.

This is not straightforwardly true. Using small buffers and real-time scheduling works, but it gives terrible power efficiency on a modern high-performance CPU. What you actually want is a scheme with large buffers that can throw out those buffers if something requiring low latency happens.
