Well, what good can possibly come from packing as many animals as possible in as miserable living conditions as possible while there is a virus going around? Minks apparently have a very similar upper respiratory system as ours, so what could possibly go wrong?

Chinese people eating wild cute animals were being finger pointed at the beginning of this pandemic but that’s really not much better.

It’s not like it’s a surprise either, ask anyone researching viruses and they’ll tell you one of the worst case scenario is a virus that migrates back and forth between humans and animals as it’ll mutate into very interesting strains in the process.

But we must have our fur coats, our 1$ burgers, and our meat every day.

No, it's not losing, it's prioritizing.
The way they blanketed my parents neighborhood with advertisement that senior citizens would no longer be able to get there groceries and meds delivered to their door makes me think they played dirty and misled the masses on the real issue of worker employment benefits. I bet if you asked those individuals who voted what the issue was at hand they could not even tell you the implication of the passing prop 22 on drivers. How is this a just system?

> When I went from being an evangelical christian studying theology to an atheist a whole world of conversations opened up to me. I could suddenly talk to people of almost any faith about their religion which had been hard before.

This is odd to me, in that the theologians I know talk to people about religion a _lot_, and seem to have no issues talking to people with different religions. That said, they're generally Catholic or agnostic, which might make the difference.
I’m disappointed that Prop 22 passed.

I also think it will not end up mattering much because the unit economics of the rideshare companies are so bad.

If they had gone along with AB5, they would’ve had cover to say to their investors “we need to make some expensive changes but it’s not our fault.”

As it stands, they’re still going to be hemorrhaging money, but now the question will be “you literally wrote your own law and you STILL can’t turn a profit?”

Most of all, it sets a very bad precedent in terms of signaling to other rich companies that amending Calif law to suit your needs is relatively easy and affordable.
What I said is:

> it is the state that created the markets they operate in

There's many large corporations who are only still around because of the state, they wouldn't survive on the kind of market you're probably thinking of.
Self-reporting is a perfectly reasonable kind of measurement.

It has some error margin and bias that must be corrected, just like any kind of measurement.

It measures some things better than others, just like any kind of measurement.

It must be applied with a serious and conscious understanding of its limitations, just like any kind of measurement.

The underlying fact is that social sciences are hard. And science reporting sucks even for the easy stuff. Society would lose a lot if social scientists just placed a universal block on self-reported data, but maybe we would gain if journalists did it.
> I suspect they have a way to mandate how local governments handle the voting. The US does not.

Yes, it does.

It does for federal legislative elections because while the Constitution gives power to run those elections to the State in the first instance, it also gives Congress the power to jump in and regulate anything it wants about "the times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, [...] except as to the places of choosing Senators".

And, while it doesn't have truly mandatory federal direction for Presidential elections (for which voting by the people isn't even Constitutionally required), it does in practice for them the same way much of what is done in Presidential elections is already fixed: safe harbor laws defining what states must do to protect their electoral votes from being subject to challenge when counted by Congress.

The US chooses not to exercise the tools it has to mandate how local government handles the voting, and where it does exercise those tools doesn't do it well, and that's the problem, not the absence of the tools.
This sounds like a cool side project to implement when learning a new language/framework.
That makes sense, and this is exactly the kind of thing a newbie has to wade through without the benefit of knowing the tradeoffs in choosing one path or the other. There probably are docs that say when to use Arc and when not to, but there's still a cacophony of voices saying "just use Arc and deal with performance issues later" and it's hard for a newbie to understand whom to listen to. Note that this isn't a criticism of Rust, but rather a rough edge that I'm confident will eventually be polished off.

Add to this list the fact that there is no setting anywhere in the preferences (not even in the Windows registry) to turn off the "Your Dropbox is almost full! Upgrade now!" notification that pops up on my screen daily is just brutal.
Sad but true. They’re probably better off dead at that point.

Exactly this. If your expectations time travel, you can do anything.

Should there be more government support for families that want to try this with one parent at home? Singapore is paying $10k, so they are starting to understand the economic impact of having well educated citizens:

This works if you don't take VC investment (from funds which want their stake to moon) and instead bootstrap (or obtain investment from an aligned stakeholder [1]) and maintain a controlling interest in the company.

Examples: Backblaze [2] and Basecamp [1]

Anyone can shoot to be a unicorn [3]. Takes something else to be comfortable with a daily grind (but a grind you enjoy), reliably yet without much fanfare meeting your customers' (mostly static) need.

We're 90% employee owned, and there are no deep pockets. CrashPlan raised something like $150 million which comes with "pressure to grow fast or die". Backblaze is free of any such pressure, we own our own fate.")

That seems more defensible since it's a problem you need to deal with or risk data loss. The whole point of Dropbox is not losing your data.
One thing that excites me the most is the hackability of the "included" case. Enough room for a battery, supercap, switches, normal HDMI ports, and still having free of clutter the GPIO pin rows.

I could also expect a 3D printed detachable LCD bezel/case connected directly to the microHDMI port and GPIO power rails. But well there are already some raspi based laptops for that matter.

I still like the R400 as a "presentation keyboard". Battery pack and HDMI adaptor and it's connected to the classroom projector.
There's always "ce" (change until end of word), which enables the common use case and is also consistent with the rest of the vim language.

I wonder why the special case for "cw" exists... I'd love to hear the story about that initial decision.
> She wore it once and was so self-conscious that people would think her callous that it stayed in the closet

Good.
> I think you're missing the point that US states have rights that can't be infringed upon.

Those "rights" (there's a problem with applying that term to states and not people, but its a side issue here) do not include the "right" to run federal elections without oversight by Congress, which has both direct and explicit regulatory power for federal legislative elections under the Constitution, and the Constitutional role of assessing whether electoral votes are properly given when counting them, and has, in fact, has acted based on the latter power to direct states as to what they must do in federal Presidential elections to shield their votes from potential challenge.
Adding slots would definitely increase the cost, which makes it slightly less accessible. At the end of the day, this computer is a toy, it has limitations and that's OK.

However, I'm with you on the full-sized HDMI ports. I don't know why they went with dual mini ports instead of one full-sized port? I think that people wanting to run this with dual monitors will be the clear minority. They could have actually reduced cost with one full-size HDMI port, because the HDMI adapter cable would no longer be needed.
There is indeed hidden state in a Pluto notebook. Look at the .jl file it generates, there is hidden state there describing the cell ordering.
This is cool, but it seems to be broken. I tried to create a table called `test`, but I got `something went wrong but we won't say what`. It's also not clear to me what to do with a table (I don't see any options to add columns or data).

EDIT: Maybe it's just being hugged to death. Just about every action is throwing the aforementioned error now.

EDIT2: This would be really cool if it were self-hosted (obviously without the auto-deletion)!
> something went wrong but we won't say what

I think you got the big hug
I agree btw - but most pigs are killed after just 20 to 24 weeks - though yes breeding mothers are kept in terrible conditions for years.
> something changed

It's worth considering what changed. Demographics changed, but we've always had some kind of mixed cultures and ethnicities. The history of it has been an expansion of who gets to be the "majority". Like Rome redefining who is a citizen.

Maybe it's broadcast media, but there's been national publications since the founding of the US.

Looking back to Antiquity, our situation doesn't seem so abnormal. I think it's just the ebb and flow of how groups of people interact with each other.
Isn’t it ironic?
You appear to be talking about something fairly different from what my comment addresses.

> it doesn't matter if you can remember if Lay's southern barbecue was in stock it matters if, when strolling down the aisle, you were able to see the majority of the chips in one place.

Perhaps, but I didn't ask about this. The challenge is that you are told in advance that you're looking for Lay's Southern Barbecue. Remembering whether it's there is not difficult, because it's the only thing you want. The difficult part is determining whether it's there.

> In a physical store it's largely possible to sequentially read the inventory even if you can't quickly search for individual items randomly quickly.

Again, this badly misunderstands what I was saying. It is not possible to sequentially read the inventory in a physical store; if this were possible, determining whether or not a particular product existed in the store would be trivial. Instead, this task is one that people routinely fail at.
If in doubt, why not err on the side of caution and just not inflict animals this existence, just in case they might care?

I tried Dynalist and moved back to Workflowy literally a couple of days ago. The main problem for me was that you can't link-share an arbitrary bullet and it's children — only the whole document. So if I need to share a link, I have to create a new document just for this purpose. The one-document model of Workflowy just seems more logical and simple. Although the free version of Dynalist is more complete/usable, so if you don't really care about sharing, it's better (for example, no limitation for created nodes per day).

And obviously they are both missing vim bindings, which I would LOVE to see.
It absolutely is, in the case of the latter. BLM no, or not yet, because they are not yet an entrenched reliable source of campaign funding.

>Can’t you argue that they have no way to know whether the other links are also infringing or whether those other users have a legitimate license for the content?

IANAL so maybe the plausible deniability here is enough legal protection, but this is an argument that rings hollow to me from a technical perspective. Usually content ripped from physical media is not stored in its original format, especially during the timeline of MegaUpload's existence. The data is going to be encoded in a different format and therefore could have a variety of different potential hashes. A bunch of people having exactly the same version of this media indicates that it is a single encoding being repeatedly shared.
Sometimes folks have a thought process or philosophical approach towards risk management where having the ability to not know about a problem is more important than the problem itself. Other times, you become aware of the problem and need to decide how to deal with it.

Chase is a global bank with ~200k employees. There's always issues, most of which are fairly minor/low-risk financially, but may have significant reputational or other impacts. In this scenario, you have counsel and risk management people looking at a scenario where a guy basically stole $5,000 from the bank, due to an error on the part of the bank. They don't give a flying leap about the error -- it's not their job to care, the event becomes the problem.

$5,000 from an FDIC institution is a very serious crime. My guess is that the internal discussion was filing a criminal complaint and exposing their dirty laundry in court, or cutting the losses and severing the relationship. But the guy in question here did something really dumb, was very lucky, and should stfu.

Thank you for this comment. We will add the principal investigator information and repost.
It’s an organizational/professional culture issue. Lawyers are trained to instinctively operate and communicate in a way that seems outrageous and like straight up bullying to reasonable non-lawyer colleagues, but seems to them perfectly reasonable and simply being competent at their job. I think this disconnect is a big part of why lawyers hold such a reviled place in polite society.
The most surprising thing to me is that nobody has created a JVM port of F#.

Agreed. My first thoughts were: "Great, just a few text formatting glitches. Oh, and I wish we could get away from using images for all the math symbols."
they've got compute modules with emmc, and and a board you can slap them on, that has full sized HDMI.

costs more, and takes up more space, but it includes a whole bunch of other goodness.

the compute module with 8gb of ram and 32gb of emmc isn't available in small quantities yet, but that should happen sooner or later.

And the government doesn't exist except via the authorization of the citizens, who own and work for corporations and run and belong to churches, which is why keeping these entities from influencing each other is a pipe dream.

Rust's key feature - the borrow-checker - relies on the idea that each value has a single "owner" at any given time. This owner can be a function, another value (a parent struct), etc. You can put these values on the heap, but if you use Box (the go-to for heap allocation), that pointer still has to have a single logical "owner". Under idiomatic Rust, each value effectively lives in one single "place". This allows the compiler to determine with 100% confidence at what point it's no longer being used and can therefore be de-allocated.

Now, these values can be lent out ("borrowing") to sub-functions and such via references (mutable or immutable). Multiple immutable references can be handed out at once, but a mutable reference to a value has to be the only reference to that value of any kind, at a given time.

The problem is, some domains really don't lend themselves to this restricted model. No two objects or functions can point, mutably, to the same object at the same time. You simply can't create a graph of inter-referenced objects where a single value may have multiple "parents". And sometimes even with a perfectly tree-like ownership structure moving values around can get complicated, because Rust has to know for sure that the ownership model is adhered to. This is where explicit lifetimes and such can come into play. Even writing a linked-list in Rust without using unsafe { } (or Rc's) is hard (https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/).

In Rust, Rc's are kind of an admission of defeat. You're telling Rust not to perform its normal "compile-time" automatic deallocation, instead having it track references at runtime (which comes with overhead) to know when to de-allocate. What this buys you is basically an out from the ownership system: instead of handing off a plain reference to multiple places, which Rust may not let you do, you just clone the Rc and hand off that "new" value which can go anywhere it wants. That Rc is then what gets tracked by the ownership system and de-allocated, and when de-allocated it decrements the count (again, at runtime), and eventually that runtime mechanism (hopefully) decides the real value can be de-allocated.

Basically any part of your code that uses Rc/Arc is giving up one of the biggest features of Rust. Which is totally fine, if you're reaping those advantages elsewhere and you just need to bridge a gap where ownership is too limiting. But if heap-juggling is going to be primary thing your program is doing, you'll probably have a better overall time with a GCed language.
