Is this not why the situation persists? Lockdown hard then go back to pretty-much-normal seems vastly preferable. I say this from NZ.
The hit has been hard, but it seems that partial lockdowns and half measures actually lead to worse outcomes. The death toll is certainly on another scale when you don’t lock down.

Which overwhelmingly voted for AB5 and was in opposition to Proposition 22. You are alleging corruption without any evidence.

Fair enough, but the GP actually did no mention of locked down. He said kinda locked down. Then your jailbreaking buddy defined that as "it's only locked down if it is a secure boot device where no third party access". When it's clear that that's not what the GP meant, not to mention that is english the opposite of locked is open/unlocked. Since we're still speaking english, "not locked" means open.

Not to mention that apple can silently overwrite this at any point in time with a MacOS update. As they have done so before leaving plenty of macs bricked because of broken SPI flash[1].

This is really cool from a tech perspective. I’m sure it’s a great product too. The thing that bothers me about e-bikes in the US specifically is that we seem to be rediscovering scooters but worse.

Among other things I am a motorcycle rider. I took the class. Before the pandemic I commuted on a 1970 Honda CB450. I know the risks, and the rules.

These are mopeds at best. Electric motorcycles at worst. Europe and especially Asia already understand the benefits of scooters and traffic understands they exist. Taiepi even has special striping at lights to make scooter filtering safe and easy!

I am optimistic that these kinds of devices will get more people on two-wheeled personal transportation but I’m concerned about the people going 30mph on bike paths or riding in the road with no education.

Tangentially I’m disappointed that electric drive has translated to “no rules” on roads and bike paths. If I ride a 1980 Yamaha moped on a bike path people will look at me like I’m a maniac but I can go 50% faster on a bicycle and nobody seems to care.

I notice that it consistently uses about 10% of a CPU while idle. I searched for this issue on github and see people complaining about it as far back as 2017, so I know it's probably not going to be addressed anytime soon.

I am confused, what particles could reach superluminal speeds?
Infinitesimals tautologically exist in any finite representation of numbers. For floats, it's the smallest representable positive number. For integers of any type, it's 1.

As for how common they are, we learn about them in any introductory calculus course when defining derivatives. You come across the idea whenever discussing limits, if somewhat obliquely.

If I learned about it in high school math, and again in "real" math courses at my university, I'd say it's pretty standard.
50 pounds is a full suspension eMTB. I think most commuters like this are in the 30-35 pound range.

I'm not sure how to feel about this. I run Tor relays to support the network, but at the same time having moderated a forum that received tens of thousands of signups per day over Tor and NordVPN and PIA, all of which were able to verify email via various domains,, all of which were for spam...
I mean, it's conceivable that there could be some unknown thing that curves space in oddly specific ways that look just like matter, and also kind of moves in bulk like matter, but that would be drastically crazier than even dark matter is, so no one should expect it to be more likely.
These kinds of articles come up occasionally about how good things were back on the day but I think it's largely due to forgetting all the problems, like:

- BSOD

- Running out of memory and trying to shift stuff to high mem.

- Software would come with 20 install floppies. Good luck if it failed on #18.

- Running out of ports for external devices.

- Plug 'n Play that didn't play.

- Modems over analog telephony.

There's a long list.
Interesting. Were you trying to "Run" just to see if "Run" works, or were you interested in executing a specific repository?

Basically we allow users to make their own personal editable copies of the Cloudbook. When you "Run", it is first replicating the Cloudbook into your account and then running. You can edit the code in your copy without affecting the main Cloudbook. Free unlimited CPU, RAM & Storage gets included with every Cloudbook for you to make continuous edits and perform repeat runs, including long running run operations.

Not sure how we can achieve this without a registration. Do you have something in mind?

> The article says "roughly three-quarters of the Black employees" left the company over a 6 month span due to feelings of being discriminated against. That isn't an accusation. It is a fact.

I am not comfortable with promoting the framing of the article to an automatically established fact. The only solid fact here is people leaving and the inferred reason is racial discrimination. I am not saying this inference is likely to be wrong or not, but that it is nonetheless an inference and not a fact. The article also doesn't let the reader know how those numbers compare to the baseline attrition of the company, i.e. what percentage of the other demographic groups have left in the same time period, which tends to be pretty high in the startup scene. Racial discrimination at workplace being pretty seriously illegal in the US these employees would have a strong recourse against it and NYT can not possibly provide a superior standard of factuality for those accusations.
Thanks. These articles focusing on stuff like JavaScript instructions as being the reason the M1 is so fast are off the mark. Apple implemented an 8-wide out of order core. That’s not only a huge accomplishment. But it defies what was until recently conventional wisdom: that going much beyond a 4-wide core would be well past the point of diminishing returns in an OOO core.

I have two adult sons who nursed me back to health after doctors wrote me off for dead. Among other things, having been raised by me, they were really savvy about handling it when I was genuinely, seriously suicidal because I was so miserable.

Two things that became policy:

1. "Do not engage Teh Crazeh"

2. Tend to mom's physical health when she's a nut job.

The first means don't argue with me when I'm irrational. The fact that I'm irrational means nothing you say will do any good and it ends up magnifying the problem rather than helping.

For the second point: At some point it became really clear that when I was seriously suicidal and acting really crazy, I was almost always physically at the end of my rope and just incapable of taking care of myself. It became my oldest son's policy to offer me food and drink and make sure I was warm enough (or sometimes cool enough, but usually warm enough because I have a long history of having trouble staying warm).

And even if I was all "Don't change the subject, you disrespectful rat bastard!!!" he would just stick to trying to feed me, give me something to drink and get me warm. I almost always promptly fell asleep once I was fed, hydrated and warm enough and would wake up no longer crazed and wouldn't remember much of it.

My kids were always given a pass on bad behavior when they were sick as kids. If they were feverish and being awful, I would send them to bed to get some sleep rather than punishing them. So that came back to me during my lengthy health crisis as them developing this policy of feed me, hydrate me, get me warm, and ignore the nonsense I was saying.

A third policy was that I would let them know when I was just out there and couldn't be left alone and they would babysit me and make sure I was not left alone on days when I was like "Yeah, I'm not right and can't be trusted with my own welfare." That both made sure I didn't attempt suicide and addressed my constant complaints that "no one cares about me!" with undeniable proof that someone cared about me, which helped resolve those feelings over time.

Something I have long recommended: If you know someone is suicidal, just keep them company. They are much less likely to die by their own hand if they aren't alone.

I know this works and I used it to help someone I knew some years ago who was suicidal.

> For example, it’s absolutely shocking that the common paradigm for engineers at Google is to come in at 11am and leave at 4pm. In no world can you be working 5 hours a day and be giving a shit, and so the conclusion is that very little meaningful work gets done at Google.

> During the Cold War, you could say "Soviet" instead of "Russian" to clearly demarcate between the nation and the nationality

That's not what that distinguished. It distinguished whether you were talking about things pertaining to the USSR and those specifically having to do with Russia; the same rough difference as between “American” and “Californian” (or, perhaps a better analogy would be “British” and “English”.)

> We don't have a modern equivalent for the PRC

Mostly because China didn't conquer a bunch of neighbors and create a name for the resulting state distinct from “China”, which remains as the name for the absolutely dominant component.

But, again, while the Soviet/Russian distinction did exist, it did not serve the purpose you describe, and we didn't have any linguistic distinction that did.

It's my understanding that the causality went the other direction; that "nerds" were a clear youth subculture in the 60s and 70s, and this subculture inspired all of the 70s-90s movies about them even as the term "nerd" broadened far beyond any concrete set of characteristics. If you had to pick one movie that contributed the most to fossilizing the image, Revenge of the Nerds has to be it.

Support for "defund the police", both the harsh slogan and the actual policy of reallocating some funding to social services, is dramatically higher among POC than whites so I don't think your analysis that "those who want radical change appear to be overwhelmingly white and particularly non-black" is correct.

Largely, successful people have little idea what they did to succeed at something. I observed this first in others and then in myself when trying to teach others.

One reason is - like PG says - the inclination for activities is more nature vs nurture than we like to think. We want the success to be caused by our choices and intelect. When it was largely chosen for us at birth.

Another aspect is post fact rationalization. Again like he says the unconscious mind decides first. Then the rational part tries to explain the choice but it often fails even to identify it, let alone pinpoint the reasons for it.

Third: teaching is mostly done through example and practicing toghether. Simple words are very ineffective at passing on experience.

And finally successful actions depend on context. For example what makes appropriate bussiness conduct varies from culture to culture, varies in time as the culture changes, is different even in the same culture depending on social class, etc. And these are just some points in the infinite variable group I called context.

All this makes such articles pretty much pointless as a recipe for success. But I'm not sure it is intended as that. There is value in the text, it's just not all true and all applicable to everybody. But then which text is?

>So it's more correct to say that local generation is 100% renewable, not total energy consumption.

The common term for this is "net 100% renewables" as opposed to "gross 100% renewables", and is typically defined as exporting more renewable electricity than you import fossil-electricity while simultaneously not generating any fossil-electricity locally.

And in Australia, whenever a state talks about "100% renewables by 20XX" they're almost always talking about net 100% and not gross, so it's a reasonable-ish thing to leave off. Still annoying, mind you.

So the headline isn't incorrect, just annoyingly ambiguous.
