In reality they aren't KKK members though. Instead they are disproportionately black and other minorities.

Regardless of whether or not you think incarceration of minorities is systemized disenfranchisement, I think any loophole that hypothetically allows the system to chose who may vote is a bigger threat to democracy than an incentive to appeal to criminals.

Totally agree with your point that incentivizing "pandering to criminals" can be a bad thing though, just the lesser of the two imo.

Unfortunately, it and Poppler, and Imagemagick, etc were all off the table. I was confined to running everything within a Node instance. Couldn't make calls out to command line tools. I tried probably 20 ways of using Poppler-based libraries to no avail.

It definitely would have been the better performing route, and simpler to implement. As it is, since the app is low traffic for actual processing of the images it doesn't matter too much, thankfully.

What is needed minimally?

- a loved and loving partner, a sane and fulfilling sexuality

- enough income to not have any substantial worries about the future

- absence of other justifiable existential worries and anxiety about the future such as cataclysms, threats, oppressive social, political and work environments, political instability, etc.

- a decent amount of recognition in work or private life (one of them suffices, both are optimal)

- good mental and physical health

Beneficial is also frequent contact to about 3-4 close friends.

That's what I've gathered from what I've heard on the Net during the past 20 years or so. If any of the above is missing, the life will not really be good.

The question makes sense because, for years, children in the united states were taught that it was noble and right to try and judge people’s ideas based on their sense and merit- without regard to the skin color of the speaker.

To people raised under that philosophy, it can be disconcerting to realize that now it has become proper to judge everything only after first assessing the skin color of who said it. This isnt as shocking when someone makes a statement related to race, but the point is really driven home when the issue at hand is a tree.

This is a complexity issue. You can fashion a ventilator out of basically old vacuum cleaner parts. N95 masks are spun with what amounts to an extremely fancy cotton candy machine that spins the fibers together. The machinery to make this is extremely complicated and takes 6 months or more to build, by which time there may be no demand. No amount of invoking the defense production act would change this reality.

I have a stutter. I went to a speech and language therapist, which helped a little bit. For the longest time I couldn't say words like "Wednesday" (stuttering on the W) or even simple phrases like "Yes sir/ma'am" when at secondary school (I believe this is known as a "block", my mouth just wouldn't work; I froze up).

I'm not entirely sure what helped me overcome the problem. If I'm relaxed, my speech is fluent. If I take deep breaths and think about what I'm going to say, the stutter rarely shows up. There are, of course, some words that I mispronounce still like "manipulative".

The only real ongoing issue is the learned habit of speaking quickly to try and overcome the stutter. Internally, I can understand exactly what I said, but externally it apparently comes out as a stream of unintelligible words. That's something I'm still working on.

The stutter comes back when I'm tired, nervous, or stressed. Apart from that, it's barely noticeable which I am pleased about.

How curious to know that it's all in the brain rather than a psychological cause such as anxiety which is what my parents used to assume. Perhaps I shall have to volunteer to help with future research.
Tales from the Cryptkeeper
I have a trick that works for such things (at least for me).

When I'm leaving keys I imagine myself going back and searching for them and remembering that I left them there.

Then when I really am in this situation I remember the false memory and find them :)

Same thing works with remembering to buy something when going back from work and other "do THIS when THAT". When I decide I have to buy X I imagine myself stepping out of the bus, going up the stairs, remembering to go to the shop, turning and going there.

Then when I really do this I remember to turn :) What's funny is that a few times I then decided to go out on the next stop (a little longer walk but less mud when it's raining) - and I haven't remembered because the trigger didn't happen :)
Yes we need to have boundaries but a part of me thinks the popularity of 'not being a people pleaser' is in the label 'people pleaser' and its negative connotation. I set boundaries and listen to my needs but also make a habit of doing good things for others... not for my own self-agrandising or relieving myself of guilt but to set the EXAMPLE of what is good and how I would like to be treated—I don't really care about people's perception of me unless it has some logical argument to it and a lesson in it. Today I felt like getting in touch with people I haven't caught up with in a while and it was great.. it's part of my character.. I like to feel connected. I am upset by the number of transnational people out there that only hold space for you (well try to hold space) when they need you. In short.. understanding your boundaries is good.. BUT making a habit of not being a label.. a perception that sharing your goodness is some wicked thing that saps you of energy.. maybe think carefully if a boundary is being crossed or not first. Some people do gain pleasure from doing good for others. I've certainly learned from going too far with kindness for my perception but that's how you find your boundary and way to being truly sincere.

I wasn't referring to any problem.

No. Anyone should be able to support any political cause at any time.

In a free society, we do not rely on force to produce morally correct behavior, except by force of state. We rely on law instead, which conversely requires complete freedom to participate in the democratic apparatus. Anything that messes with that messes with the very heart of a liberal democracy.
> Why do men who have a partner already feel obliged to continue capturing more and more resources?

Two reasons.

First, women are hypergamous and will always be looking for the best mate possible. When men become complacent, they lose their women. The battle isn't over when the first mate is attracted, it has only just begun.

Second, men are polygamous. Men still want to be attractive to other women as well as their own. There is essentially no limit to how many women a man can mate with.

These instincts do rule us, unfortunately. Although many like to think otherwise.

MS-DOS was also not the only DOS on the market. DR-DOS was very popular at the time of the Atari ST. As far as I know DR-DOS also followed the published specification and Digital Research (DR) was Microsoft's biggest competition. Atari also used Digital Reasearch's GEM as their "desktop" GUI. GEM was a direct competitor to Microsoft's new Macintosh-killer product called "Windows". CorelDraw and WordPerfect used GEM, MS Word and MS Excel used Windows.

Good that you were able to have such a conversation. I would request you not to generalize from one example though.

Different states in India differ in matters of caste substantially. In Bengal its mostly a non-issue, more so in metropolitan areas. Some from grand-parent generations might still give caste a thought, but for the rest I can bet that thoughts of caste rarely if at all cone to their mind.

To cement this idea with a concrete example, the Brahmin's that you heard about are supposed to wear this holy thread. Its supposed to be treated with great respect. There are procedures to ensure that the thread, for example, does not get offended when you take a pee break -- you get the idea. So in Bengal, in my dorm, I have seen them used to hang mosquito nets to tying leaky taps. Its just a f'ing piece of thread that someone's grandparent gets upset over if the person doesn't wear it, so the person wears it but treats it nothing more than just a thread that happened to be around.

Totally unrelated, I do hope that you start programming for the fun of it, just as much I hope that for myself.

> The Department of Health and Human Services did fund the invention of a “one-of-a-kind, high-speed machine” that could make 1.5 million N95s per day. But when the design was completed in 2018, the Trump administration did not purchase it.

The administration had a chance to buy machines that could do it but chose not to. Hindsight is 20/20.

> Except that in 2009, while Fuller was in his first job out of college, the H1N1 flu epidemic depleted 85 million N95s from the national stockpile — and the supply was never replenished. In 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017, public health officials published alarming reports warning of a “massive gap” in what remained. Even more concerning, they said, the vast majority of N95s and the materials needed to manufacture them were now being made in Asia.

The previous administration didn’t care either and chose to not replenish stockpiles over a decade ago.

No one cares until it’s their problem.

Haskell done right (TM) is objectively by every means slower. Both in terms of implementation and execution. You end up trading maintenance cost related to design for implementation cost and maintenance cost related to scaling which I may argue isn't really feasible in a pure Haskell approach. I base this upon personally experience witnesses a haskell system serve something like 10 requests per second when a comparable implementation in Scala or rust or go could have easily done 10000

Obviously "just putting latino or black on your registration" form does not in fact automatically get you into any university, you know you are exaggerating.

Then you add "and don't forget the bribes" -- you think most bribes come from Black and Latino people, or most people who are Black and Latino also bribe schools to get in? I don't think you actually think this, because it would be insane?

I find it disturbing that when confronted with information about how wealthy and socially connected people have long been able to use their wealth and social connections to get into universities -- you are less concerned about doing something about this, than you are concerned about programs meant to give some advantage to less wealthy and socially-connected people. It's like, you see bribery and special favors from the wealthy and socially-connected, and you somehow still find a way to blame the poor and not socially connected for this problem, to focus the discussion away from the misdeeds of the wealthy and socially-connected!

It really says something that this whole discussion is full of people saying "I don't see the problem with that, it seems fine" for wealthy and socially-connected people (who are mostly but not entirely white) to have advantages, and also comments like yours complaining about perceived advantages they think not white people have.

That is an interesting perspective.

But my understanding that that human society were mostly hunter gatherers, with little resources to speak of and there is no concept of capital ownership and accumulation since there is nothing material to accumulate, it is only after the agricultural revolution (ownership of land and slaves) and industrial revolution (ownership of machines and oil) and information revolution (ownership of data) that capitalist started accumulating and owning more and more resources. Therefore, I really don't think capital accumulation is the natural order of things, just as fat accumulation in today's carbs rich society is not what the human body is designed for.

I understand your perspective, but I think, and with all respect, it is defeatist mindset. There is sure a better modern economical systems specially with the improvements in human capability to make decisions using AI and modern technology.

> What is to stop someone from borrowing slightly further beyond their means than you?

There's always a spectrum of risk-taking. Some people will borrow every last dollar their bank will let them. Others will not. I was shocked at the size of the loan that the bank pre-approved me for back in 2007 (fairly crazy times in US housing market). I borrowed substantially less than that because I wasn't comfortable taking out a loan at that high of a debt-to-income ratio. On the flip-side, had I taken out a maximum-sized loan, I'd have made more paper gains in housing in the last 13 years, so there is often reward for risk-taking.

Fortunately, it is possible (even if our politicians can't do it) to completely disagree with someone and NOT be an asshole.

You can argue AND still be respectful and polite to the person you are arguing with. You can vehemently disagree and still do so in a way that respects the other person's different perspective and point of view.

And choosing not to use language that is commonly considered offensive is not a limit on your freedom. But others have the freedom to choose not to engage with you (or continue to employ you).

While your position seems reasonable, but that's not what is being proposed or implemented.

Sweden for example out of a dozen countries who have passed these laws.

The removal of the 'forced' part of rape means it's entirely consent now. If you didn't have explicit consent in some form of proof. You are now a rapist. You never threatened, coerced or used force of any kind; the other person never resisted at any time.

Innocent until proven guilty is gone. You must prove you got explicit consent. Which lets be realistic, you don't have that. Nobody is signing a contract or equivalent before sex. You are now a rapist.

Which is why Rape has increased something like 400% in Sweden. Why do you think the Swedish men are such rapists?
This is genius. I was wondering how Bloomberg would spend the $100m he committed to Florida. I had never considered reenfranchising ex-felons.

Money well spent.

The Politico article is more reality-based. https://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2020/09/22/blo...

It's not clear if Bloomberg also paid restitution, money owed to victims, in addition to fines and legal debts.

--

One my besties ran our state's version of FL Rights Restitution Coalition. https://floridarrc.com They successfully updated our laws for process to reenfranchise ex-felons, which was widely acknowledged as even worse than Florida (at the time).

Even more ridiculous than the fines and legal debts is the bureaucracy. Of the 1,000s of ex-felons who'd squared up every year, less than 20 were able to navigate the red tape to actually restore their right to vote.

FWIW, voting rights should never be contingent on fines, debts, restitution. That's flat out unconstitutional, just like poll taxes. Many (most?) states don't even disenfranchise felons. The states that do disenfranchise are whackadoodles.
