Oh, that's neat! Is the output from the sensor, when combined into a time-series, essentially a frequency-domain image of the part, such that you just apply an inverse-FFT and get a picture out?

So, is your belief, or the belief of this measure, that completely decriminalizing possession and use will cause no change in demand? More people will not be tempted or trapped into using or trying drugs?

Is that not a legitimate thing to question?
Because, like donald's tweets, it's a lying sack of shit.
Dorsey has said that much of what Trump says on the platform is newsworthy, and therefore Twitter allows it. Were they to suspend Trump’s account, it would necessarily be because his Tweets are no longer newsworthy. I can’t see that happening.

Talk about an oxymoron, eh?
> they control the schools

Let's get specific with this one. What's one thing that is taught in schools that you object to?
Did the Democrats put the democratic system at risk when they made unsubstantiated claims that Trump stole the election with the aid of a foreign power?

Edit: Based the downvotes, I’ll take that as a no. When your team claims fraud, you’re protecting democracy. When the other team claims fraud, they’re destroying democracy. Got it.
Best thing is hopefully less noise in news. So much crap on Reddit/Twitter because of Trump. Corruption, etc.

Especially for people not living in US, it's tiring.
I haven’t read the full article but this feels like a very American thing to me, a more powerful and wealthier party taking advantage of a weaker, dependant party to save the VC partners some money. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted first this, and I know it’s not quite what the title means but yeah paying my VC’s legal fees and having no choice over the firm they used really wound me up.
Reddit is repeatedly failing to load and I assume this is why

That was a true statement for the past 4 years.
Election law doesn’t agree with your assertion.
For some people the fundamental problem with the GPL is that it is entirely dependent on the political structure that they believe to be flawed. If you are for copyright abolishment, using the GPL is cynical at best, hypocritical at worst.
I liked this. 3 is really 2 things, where the last applies to all and is so important --

3a. The American Rule - good imo for seed/preseed. The VC is funding, so going unamerican when standard terms are available is lazy, mean-spirited, and net destructive valuation hijinx. It comes out of the negotiated deal value either way, so a VC is being loose with how much of the company they are freely giving away.

3b. Do what you agreed. A founder is essentially negotiating the rules for a new boss for the next 1-10 years, and this is one of the last and easier hurdles. So it's also a quick canary in the coal mine. Breaking faith on something so early + mundane that hits on trust, alignment, experience, and empathy right before then is such a warning sign!
> If you had asked me a few years ago if I thought this was what the general American populous thought I'd have said no because, of all of the politicians who advocated for legalization of drugs, very very few got elected.

Compare this with the legalization of gay marriage. As late as the mid-2000s it was considered (national-level) political suicide to publicly support gay marriage. Even plenty of politicians that might otherwise have supported gay marriage refused to comment on it for fear of their seats (this happens all the time for plenty of other issues as well; e.g. how many obviously-fake churchgoers there are among politicians who hope to avoid the ire of religious voters). Once a few politicians put their necks on the line and demonstrated that it wasn't impossible to seek election while sympathizing with homosexuality, that served as the activation energy for a lot of pent-up endorsements. So it's been with the decriminalization of marijuana.

> The title “engineer” is cheapened by the tech industry... Recent years have seen prominent failures in software. Massive data breaches at Target, Home Depot, BlueCross BlueShield, Anthem, Harvard University, LastPass, and Ashley Madison only scratch the surface of the cybersecurity issues posed by today’s computer systems. The Volkswagen diesel-emissions exploit was caused by a software failing, even if it seems to have been engineered, as it were, deliberately.

Every mature engineering field begins with failures. Henry Petroski [1], the archetype of the classical engineer IMHO, believed failure analysis was at the heart of engineering. Non-engineers, including scientists and health-care professionals, make the false assumption that the practice of engineering is deterministic. The goal of engineering is to understand systems well enough that they seem deterministic but engineering knowledge never starts off that way. The formal structural engineering standards represent a history of failures along with the best practice for dealing with each failure mode. The process is iterative, just like software development.

Neither the term "computer science" nor "software engineering" is an accurate description but as someone formally trained in engineering and computer science, I've yet to encounter a more accurate label. In my experience, the complaints about the term engineering are about credentialism and the solution is to use the term Professional Engineer for those who have earned the credential.

> "let the magic invisible hand of the market work, and all will be great".

Just because the hand is invisible doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It just means that we can't see it. The "invisible hand" doesn't mean "natural market forces" as people think, it really means the "hands of the elites" who work behind the scenes. In modern capitalist societies, it's the cabal of bankers who work behind closed doors and direct economies.

Twitter provides an amplification of Trump’s falsehoods through the ease of retweeting. With the warnings, retweeting is impossible, which dampens the spread of misinformation. Every bit counts. The typical right wing only platforms don’t have the same reach as Twitter - not even close.

> Not really. Once the models project that it's basically impossible (...)

It's only "basically impossible" if the amount of votes to be counted are still enough to sway an election.

You should think things through and pay attention to the unwanted consequences of these sort of claims. We're living a development where half the US population is complaining about voter fraud and conspiracies to withheld their candidate from their rightful place in the US's regime. It makes no sense to argue in favor of taking shortcuts in the election process citing arcane arguments and models, each of which unverifiable and impenetrable to the common man, and expect it to simply accept an outcome that is dictated by you and not verifiable by them.

If you want a country to accept election results, the results need to be obvious and above any scrutiny. In the case of elections, you only get there if all votes are counted and any shred of doubt is rendered an impossibility. Otherwise all you get is conspiracy theories, dissent and erosion of any faith on the democratic nature of a system.

This is grandiose but just a thoughtstopper.

The difference is:

The old system produces social status for daily use by ordinary people. You work at a day job and your parents, your partner, your children, your peers all know about that.

The hacker culture doesn't have a method to do that. It can only produce fame, which is only usable for a few individuals.

The old system needs adjustments. More and more people see that property alone nowadays makes a suboptimal signal of status.

Every intelligence agency in the US and numerous foreign intelligence agencies substantiated those claims.
I agree that the war on drugs was a failure.

But is your position that whatever people want to do, you should not try to prevent it? What are your positions on applying that logic to carbon emissions, letting people work for less than minimum wage, companies putting out products that people buy willingly but are non-repairable?

Should government step out of those areas too? People want to do all those things.
This is premature. There is legal action pending.
Yes, we still have the lawsuits to go through, states must certify their results, and the electoral college must meet on December 14. In other words, the exact same process that happens in every other election (obviously the lawsuits are a slight wrinkle) There's a tiny, tiny chance the results could be changed.
Another way to put that is to say that GraphQL is just a way to ship your raw DB schema as JSON. I thought we learned it was bad to shape your front-end code to the mirror the DB schema, sometime back in the early dot-com era.

Politicians will never have this 'realization'. Either a pro-drug-war politician is already using this as a dog whistle and does not want it exposed (else why not be open about your stance on minorities), or he isn't using it as a dog whistle but still does not want this connection made.

Voters are the ones who need to make the connection. The politicians will follow.

Many on the left, particularly on social media, are quick to claim that supporting a particular policy is racist if the policy itself is racist, regardless of the reason an individual supports the policy.

My own personal view is that the intent of this definition and behavior is not to 'solve racism' but to stifle discussion and influence voters. The fact that this definition is seldom, if ever, applied to the war on drugs is confirmation of my view.

What I see instead, and is present in some of these threads, are offers of solutions that are ill-defined, untried, and even if effective do not have clear timelines for actually helping people; and very clearly will do nothing to help in the short term. In contrast, solutions that have worked in other places, have immediate effects, and are generally accepted as good ideas are vilified as harmful to minorities with no evidence provided.
> “As my colleague Mike Seidman once put it, imagine you are sitting in a room and you’re trying to figure out how to solve some 21st-century challenge we face,” says Brooks. “Then someone bursts in and says, ‘Hey, I’ve got the answer. I’ve found this document written in the late-18th century when America only had four million people, most of whom were farmers.’ Do you really think they would have a clue?”

This sort of strawman rhetoric is silly and easy to dismiss. If the document had been used for hundreds of years to successfully achieve peaceful transfers of power, and the ideas within were a reflection of deep and considered thoughts on the creation of a sustainable representative government, then it would be foolish to disregard it, even if you find pieces of it objectionable.

But the entire article is written with that same thoughtless tone, and the critiques it presents have less nuance than a brick.

The point of requiring signatures was never about preventing fraud, since it was never an issue historically. The requirements were issued in the 20th century to reject black votes, as at the time the requirements were passed, many black voters couldn't write.

One option is to pick a yardstick size and keep that for all measurements. Disadvantage is that the size picked affects not only the coast lengths, but also relative differences and even rankings.

It also means scaling an area by a factor of N (typically) won’t scale its boundary length by N. That’s counterintuitive. That brings us to option 2: vary yardstick length with the size of the object being measured. Question then is: how exactly?

Alternatively, estimate the fractal dimension (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_dimension) of the area and use that as the measure of coast length/area.
Did you also go around insisting that the election hadn't been decided yet after the media called it for Trump on election night 2016, or are you only doing it this time around because he lost?
It was "close" because the counting was so slow. If Pennsylvania was allowed to count early votes beforehand, it would've been obvious that Trump was not going to have a chance there.

> As a general rule, politicians will say or do whatever furthers their agenda ... Few politicians have the wherewithal to lead, most reflect (in a focus group driven sort of way).

We just saw a focus group questionnaire given to the entire population and, from my position, there was a significant difference from the data being used to drive the political candidate's general propaganda and the reality of what our population (in NJ) want.

Will elected officials ignore this information (sticking to data from internally run focus groups) or will they change their behavior because of this wide spread pattern in voting?

> I'm not so sure it's that most ppl are against drug laws. It's that the laws aren't working. They're not delivering on what was promised.

I've spoken to some people around where I live (coworkers, at stores, etc) in NJ and brought up the ballot. More than half of the people I've spoken to were excited to be able to get good weed legally and on Tinder in my age range a majority of the profiles are "420 friendly".

This is obviously all anecdotal but it would be really cool to see some sentiment analysis by region because I think a lot of people just want access to pot. Someone on the research side of Tinder could probably make a heat map and predict (from 420 friendly profiles) where the next vote to legalize pot will be. Might be a great way to preemptively buy up farm land, set it up for growers, and sell land/equipment to people after votes when people want to buy in.

What would such a test look like? The NCEES sample questions appear to be paywalled. The SWEBOK link 404s, but I found a pdf with some info: https://ieeecs-media.computer.org/media/education/swebok/swe...

Given how vast the field of software engineering is, would the test be similar to FAANG interviews where you need to solve some algorithmic leetcode puzzle? Or would it require knowledge of a specific programming language and all its pitfalls?

>> Ending Four Tumultuous Years Under Trump

>Not a true statement I'm afraid. Look at the number of votes he got. Trumpism isn't going away any time soon.

Tumult(n.)[0]:

"1. violent and noisy commotion or disturbance of a crowd or mob; uproar: The tumult reached its height during the premier's speech.

2. a general outbreak, riot, uprising, or other disorder: The tumult moved toward the embassy.

3. highly distressing agitation of mind or feeling; turbulent mental or emotional disturbance: His placid facade failed to conceal the tumult of his mind."

I imagine that many on every side would agree with that statement.
> I think drug use is immoral, especially in a society with a welfare system.

I mean, park systems could be immoral in a society with a welfare system.

People might end up spending time they could use being productive at a job instead having picnics in the park, and they could spend more of their money on entrance and parking fees, and on unhealthy things like hot dogs, soda and funnel cakes.

Same thing with fields and stadiums. People could end up spending all their time and money on tickets, hot dogs, beer and gambling.

> That’s the basis for anti-drug attitudes in places like Sweden.

Sweden also has a notoriously abstinence-based and zero-tolerance drug policy that encourages the denial of real addiction problems and epidemics, and causes harm reduction efforts to be ineffectual[1].
