It's not unusual at all, it is rather less usual to reallocate them regularly and unlikely it was coincidentally allocated to one of the ~1700 households with someone who used the system in question.

Nonetheless, I don't see any reason to believe she sent a message. It is quite possible that her previous employer has had access to her computers via organization provided software and/or is also incompetent when it comes to logging. Additionally, they clearly already knew her IP addresses, and she an obvious choice to impersonate.

I think a federal agency should take the entire department and state house apart and look for crimes by current state employees and law enforcement. Either that or they can dump these federal "cyber" laws if they can't evenly detect, investigate and prosecute their misuse by individuals and states.

On a slightly different tangent, I think this serves as an example for why one should be able to refuse all requirements to use a computer as part of one's work. These kinds of legal risks during and after employment are not reasonable.
I don't think "the court of public opinion" is a high enough standard for a prospective world-wide monopolistic censor of information. Such an authority needs to be completely rigorous, completely fair, completely objective, completely informed, and so on. Google cannot meet that bar.

By your standard, Semmelweis would have been censored as "misinformation". Ditto Galileo and the rest.
Foolish question with a faulty premise.

No one is required to respond to this in earnest, just like there is no requirement for Google to publish materials just because they were uploaded to their servers.
Turnout says far less about political views than you might think. Voter suppression is a common and effective tool used to keep a political party in power even as they loose popular support.

All it takes is realizing changing X rule like a deadline will help or hurt your party and then voting based on that rule. Eventually this can fail, which oddly enough tends to flip states so they can quickly go from solidly party A to solidly party B.

I'm being honest. The Trump Campaign has filed only a handful of suits.

Here's their suit in Georgia:

https://publicrecordsaccess.fultoncountyga.gov/app/RegisterO...

2,560 felons voted
66,247 underage voters
2,423 votes from people not registered
1,043 individuals registered at PO boxes
4,926 individuals who voted in Georgia after registering in another state
395 individuals who voted in two states
15,700 votes from people who moved out of state before the election
40,279 votes of people who moved without re-registering in their new county
30,000 - 40,000 absentee ballots lacking proper signature matching and verification

Crime was always going to be significant in South Africa when you have such a large gap between the rich and the poor.

You have massive slums of people with no hope or future less than a 100 miles/kms away from the billion dollar French Riviera esque lifestyles of Camps Bay.

Nomad was designed for efficiency (linear scalability) and performance from the very beginning. One of major aspects of this is that it is monolithic. The single nomad binary contains:

- The CLI for interacting with Nomad clusters via their HTTP API

- The HTTP API

- The "server" agent which contains the scheduler, state store, and Raft implementation

- The "client" agent which runs workloads and has builtin task drivers for docker, plain processes, and more.

Not only is there no dependency on an external state store like etcd, but there's no pluggable abstraction for state storage. The tradeoff is that all cluster state must fit in memory. Pi clusters should use far less than 100mb of memory while something like C2M (6,100 nodes, 2 million containers) used just under 100gb of memory. Memory use scales linearly with cluster size (nodes+containers).

Since Raft and the scheduler are colocated within a single server agent process, many operations can be performed in the replicated FSM as a simple function call instead of if Raft was an external process requiring networking overhead to interact with.

I'm not very familiar with k8s internals, so I'm afraid I can't offer a very detailed direct comparison.
I dunno, did that stop the previous loser form claiming Russia cost her the election? Did the media come out and condemn the "undermining of election results" as a consequence? Did the media, youtube, Google, Facebook, have to babysit us? Did they have to babysit the Steele Dossier too?

Do you have any references of English actually being phased-out in EU? The Politico article was written just a few days after the Brexit referendum, and 4 years later I can only take it for empty sabre-rattling.
You don't even need to go that obscure. Just look at the huge rise of Measles in 2019. A 50% increase in deaths compared to 2016. All those extra deaths are directly tied to the antivaxx movement. If social media had banned antivaxx sooner, those people would still be alive.

> English is not about moving to another place but doing business beyond local.

There are "only" 379 million people speaking English as a native language.

But there are 1.2 billion people speaking English as a second language, which means that there are more people speaking English that do not actually speak "proper" English, than people speaking it because they were born with it.

The outcome is that

> About 75% of the world's 1.2 billion English speakers are non-native speakers. However, while non-native speakers often understand each other well in English, many native speakers are bad at making themselves understood by non-native speakers.

> "Often you have a [room] full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understanding each other, and then suddenly the American or Brit walks into the room and nobody can understand them"
As much as I want open source software to be good, commercial software has the inherent advantage of having hierarchies and teams that are all powered by compensation.

Attorneys General Sue Facebook Alleging Illegal Power Grabs
Well, the courts have the legitimate authority to hear the cases. The governors do not have the legitimate authority to grant Trump's request. So filing lawsuits in court is a legitimate action in a way that the requests to governors are not.

Whether people have the right to request governors to perform illegitimate actions... that probably depends on your definition of "right", and I don't care very much about having that debate.

Genuine question, not trying to be snarky.

I grew up in Australia, which educated, housed and fed me very well, and turned me into a successful Engineer. I decided I wanted to live in the snowy mountains of Canada, so I moved here.

At what point is a person like myself (or Musk) free to move wherever they want? How long to I owe an obligation to Australia for what they helped me with?

Clearly what myself and Elon are doing is perfectly legal, so it sounds like you have a moral objection to what we're doing. Do you think morally everyone should stay in the same district they were born, paying off their "debt" from being raised?

I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

It’s not that hard - people are wildly inconsistent in views and accuracy.

Someone can be contrarian and correct in one area and contrarian and wrong in another.

In fact I’d bet if you are more independently minded then you’re more likely to be very wrong in some categories since you’ve succeeded mostly by ignoring convention and thinking independently.

Most of the time this works, but sometimes you’re wrong and the consensus is right.

Since we're talking about things that don't exist: -

We should be able to beat fusion's Isp with direct matter to energy conversion.

Certainly the mass of fuel needed will be 3 OM lower.

Edit to add: Isp is a measure of velocity. The thing about velocity is, energy goes quadratically but momentum imparted to the vessel (the impulse) only goes linearly with velocity.

Since no process can be 100% efficient, you're dealing with quadratically more and more waste heat from the engines. And space is an excellent insulator.
We've been trusting publishers of books for many decades before the internet. The internet has put in no checks and balances for publishing - any loud voice can rampantly go out and get 200,000k followers.

> The typical home value of homes in Texas is $224,065

The question is, how many people are willing to sign a license agreement to contribute patches so that a software can be sold as closed source?
I use UberEats fairly frequently, and while there have been a few bad experiences, they are usually fine.

The most common annoyance IMHO are restaurants not honoring the utensils option (i.e. not providing them even though you asked them to, or to a lesser extent vice-versa). The other minor annoyance is that they don't update the status of the order correctly when you opt to pick up (it will often sit in "preparing" even after you actually pick it up, only changing to "picked up" 2 hours later.

The other thing that is weird is that while they make it fairly clear what the price breakdown is in term of food cost vs service fees (which I'd assume is the driver's cut), they also have a mandatory tip for drivers (i.e. is the service fee not going to the driver then?)

I've had a few long delays, but this was because the restaurant was apparently slammed with some huge order, which is understandable. The weirdest one was when I placed an order, and it got marked as picked up before I got there to actually pick it up. Turned out they were a food court shop in a mall which closed for the day 10 minutes after I ordered (it was in some small town I was driving by in a road trip, I had no idea). I was able to get a full refund just by raising an issue in the app, without ever having to talk to anyone.
What has anyone done that is explicitly illegal?

Cite the statutes and laws.

The fact is, those procedures (i.e., "bypassing legislatures") have been implemented precisely for situations like this. Don't get mad just because people actually use them.

Again, why not both? This is a short term solution, while we work in parallel in improving the education system. Youtube itself can be a great source of education if you promote scientific videos over trashy conspiracy videos.

Squoosh v2
> For a solid 4 years one party accused the other of rigging an election and it was considered news and reported on nearly non-stop. Now the tables are turned and the formerly accused party is claiming the other one rigged the election.

Except that's not what the Russian collusion accusations were about. I still find it hard to believe when I see polls that actively suggest people believe votes or voting machines were directly manipulated in 2016. This is not the narrative I experienced while following the election and subsequent Mueller investigation.

The information I consumed made it clear that there were questionable staffing, unusual meetings, and a foreign disinformation campaign associated mostly with benefiting Trump's campaign. In any case the current admin knew the stakes, and knew the issues but failed to safeguard against it. Still they claim there is widespread fraud, but fail to provide convincing evidence. Now they have pivoted to suggesting changes made during a pandemic could invalidate votes.

The specific crimes are laid out in the Mueller report [0]. A bipartisan Senate committee confirmed the intelligence findings that lead to the Mueller report even while Senators were publicly denying it [1]. Again I don't understand the claim of "rigging". This wasn't pushed in the circles I frequent or I considered it hyperbole at the time. There was a clear disinformation campaign, hacking attempts, and questionable contacts with the Trump campaign.

Devs can already register their domains' links to be opened in their app (deeplinking into an app, called app links/universal links) :).

If the app is not installed, your backend could redirect the user to the app/play store together with the deeplink which will be opened after installation.
I think the answer is a delivery on demand service for the restaurants. So you order from the place and they have the most recent orders ready to go and the delivery person that shows up takes the ones that make sense to go together. Just like a pizza place would.
Lessons learned on an Engineering Manager job search
Higher taxes elsewhere (which I think more sense anyway), and honestly probably just less wasteful spending and fewer beneficial (or potentially beneficial) programs.
This makes it sound like you're moving exclusively because you see too many white and asian people, which is kind of a racist motivation.
Guaranteed delivery hasn’t been my experience with Uber Eats. I almost always pick priority delivery but on many occasions I’ve had food sit at the restaurant for 30+ minutes waiting for pickup. And Uber always was hiding behind we’re waiting for the restaurant to prepare the order when in reality they’re waiting to assign a driver.

After 3 such incidents I gave up and deleted the app. I don’t mind paying $10+ in fees for convenience, but not knowing if the food will show up on time or an hour late destroyed all the benefit.

Problem is they all seem to be flaky. The challenge of working with an unreliable army of independent contractors I guess.

So at this point when I need food to show up on time I go and pick it up myself, and save delivery for when I don’t care if the food is an hour late.
I don't use food delivery services so I'm not familiar with industry but from the business point of view can somebody explain me how GrubHub being 15 years old has $1.3bn of revenue but UberEats and DoorDash being much younger have $2.5bn and $1.9bn of revenue respectively.
It's depressing to read this quote and then realize it was delivered in 1922, meaning our media has been suffering from this problem of extreme political bias for likely more than a century now.

A lot of my friends spend all day "Liking" Facebook posts that mocking Trump supporters as ignorant simpletons, then they repeat blatant falsehoods like "Trump told people to drink bleach" or "Trump called Nazis 'very fine people'". The irony is completely lost on them because they're so deep in their own disinformation bubbles.
> Some courts are refusing to even allow lawyers to present evidence.

That is a misleading interpretation. The cases are being dismissed for procedural reasons, which (depending on the specific case) can amount to "you should have brought your suit sooner" or "your evidence is inadmissible in the court of law" or "even if everything you say is true, you have not demonstrated that you have been harmed." The lawyers aren't being allowed to present evidence because they haven't even managed to demonstrate that they have a reason to present evidence--which is a pretty low bar to clear.
In reality, California has a $54B deficit this year.
How do we get rid of Prop 13? Supporting repeal is a political death sentence for anyone in local or state office. Homeowners of course love it (even when it has negative effects on them), and renters tend to be less politically active. What kind of campaign would it take to do this?
This sentiment is one among many reasons why there will be no return to 'normalcy' any time soon after the introduction of vaccines.

Not hard to imagine the same happening to "a platform promoting dangerous misinformation" as is the justification from YouTube.
Another update: In the example demo page, the section headings are no longer links to themselves. Instead the headings now have a hash symbol next to them which become visible on hover. These hash symbols are heading anchor links. See the demo at https://susam.github.io/spcss/#heading-anchor for more details.
The fact is that people believe and watch misinformation promoted by Youtube algorithms in the first place.

It's probably not intelligence either, given that people believe in what they want to hear rather than not.
That's been my experience in San Francisco, as well.
In general, you are right, the Twitter-sphere is a cancer on civilized discussion.

That said, Elon Musk is an active participant and influencer of "F*ck X" culture on Twitter, so he hardly gets a pass when others use that same rhetoric on him.
