And same thing applies to LCDM. How does it explain bullet cluster, and several others, existing in the first place?

Disclaimer: I'm not a cosmologist even if I do have a background in physics. I do like following the field. It's just not quite so clear as you imply.

And if we go into things like superfluid dark matter then it doesn't really matter if its dark matter or some kind of modified gravity. One has bunch of equations and what matters is how they behave.
It looks like non-hispanic whites have much lower rates of pedestrian deaths than other demographics, this indicates that other groups are likely walking in riskier areas, or in more dangerous ways, and may explain some of the 'disparity in ticketing'.

For that matter, make wage theft criminal, since it accounts for so much more real value stolen.

"nobody has any means of holding the perpetrators to account"

Of course they do. As individuals, the people at the top are always virtually powerless without support.

This is why dictators always take control of their country's media and spin a narrative that makes them seem innocent, heroes, or victims of foreign intervention.

If no one had any means to hold them to account they wouldn't bother doing any of this, nor would they bother to spy on, much less assassinate any opposition figures, and their acts would be a lot more brazen, without any attempts to disguise them or feign innocence.

Russia has had multiple revolutions in the last century, not to mention constant power struggles within the government itself.

Anyone in power in Russia is going to be keenly aware of this, and know how important it is to keep public opinion on their side and crush any opposition.

1. No, I don't have any relevant qualifications. But it's not the epidemiologists who I think are underestimating the seriousness - what's surprising me is that everyone else is largely ignoring this. I think people think 70% is not a big amount, rather than the difference between slight decrease and rapid exponential growth. Clearly a lot of foreign governments do think it's serious given the travel plans they have put in place.

2. I spend an unhealthy amount of time looking at data. Before this incident there were always random peaks which got explained by outbreaks at abattoirs or freshers' week, and national movements, but this change stood out. Week after week it kept behaving differently. My partner and I had already speculated about the change possibly being down to a mutation, since although that seemed incredibly unlikely nothing else explained what we were seeing, but dismissed that idea since obviously the authorities would have noticed. It turned out they had noticed, they just hadn't announced it.

3. A quick calculation: recent infection surveys suggest about 1% of people in the UK have the virus. The new strain makes up about 10%, so 1 in 1000 people have the new strain. In November 2020 from Heathrow alone, 240k people travelled to the EU, 68k to other European countries, 63k to Africa and 82k to North America.

If I remember correctly cases have already been found in Denmark and Australia. Denmark does more sequencing than most countries (I don't have a good source for that, but there by-country filters here imply it: https://nextstrain.org/groups/neherlab/ncov/united-kingdom?c... )

Based on this I'd argue that it's more likely than not to already be in tens of other countries. I'd certainly be interested to hear arguments to the contrary. But I don't believe it's sensationalist to suggest this - at this point I'd consider it a miracle if it hasn't spread too far. I hope I'm wrong.
Same here. In Utah, if there's a 4-way intersection, pedestrians always have right of way and police enforce it. I was pulled over for not yielding on a 45 MPH road and when the officer asked "do you know why I pulled you over?" I sincerely had no idea.

I think I understand the intent of the law but I guess my own philosophy of "cross where you're far less likely to die" isn't the legal one.
Prenda Law used a similar tactic when they uploaded films to pirate bay and then sued anyone who downloaded them.

You can bet if Schneider loses the case, she'll be left holding the bag as Virgin Islands-based Pirate Monitor Ltd disappears.

Creative folks who hire these law firms that specialize in pirate hunters or "monitoring" companies need to realize they have incentives to pirate your content to keep your business. And when you sue people off information they provided you, it's your name on the lawsuit. Sure you can try to sue the companies after you lose, but good luck with that.
I managed to break a btrfs filesystem by exhausting metadata blocks. The filesystem would show as 50% occupied, but 0 bytes free. Everything started crashing. The resolution is to run btrfs balance to free unused metadata blocks. There is a catch - you need at least some free space to run the balance. I had none, but managed to remove some unnecessary files (system package manager cache) to have just enough free space to run the balance. In meantime I discovered this condition was created by npm creating thousands of files while installing packages.

Later I run into the same problem (again with npm), but this time there was not enough of unnecessary files to delete to be able run the balance (package manager cache was already purged). Normally this can only be solved by adding new partition to the btrfs filesystem and I had no unformatted or unused partiton on disk left. Instead I wanted to get rid of the btrfs that failed me twice and rsynced whole btrfs content into a loop-mounted ext4 disk image on a NTFS drive and then after unmounting I dd-ed the disk image over the btrfs. It booted! Had not any more filesystem trouble ever since.

This reminds me of something hilarious happening on Twitch that I recently learned from younger relatives.

There are normal people on the game ‘Among Us’ playing copyrighted music into their mic, so that if a celebrity Twitch streamer gets too close to this individual there is a chance their account would get banned due to the DMCA.

They are using DMCA as an in-game defensive aurora. Ha

If they want to do business in europe they should follow the european laws.
One way that other states have done it more intelligently is to allow people to stay in their homes as long as they want, and not paying the proper tax bill. When they die/sell, that $ liability gets deducted from their house sale price.
> You can argue right-of-way with a ton of fiberglass and steel going 35 mph.

Shooting someone is still a crime, even though the laws of physics dictate that the bullet is going to win against my flesh. Right-of-way is a normative statement, not an extension of physical laws.
Will be interesting to see how this pans out. A similar ploy was committed by the infamous Prenda Law firm, resulting in their eventual imprisonment:

Well, it should definitely not be a felony under a reasonable $$ amount.
Furthermore: Police use the jaywalking as an excuse to perform more invasive searching.

https://ktla.com/news/local-news/versace-shoe-designer-says-...

"You were Jaywalking, so I'm going to check you for Weapons / Weed / etc. etc."

----------

I think there should be some provision for Police to officially detain someone if they think there's an issue (but can't quite find a legal reason of doing so...). But at the same time, "abusing" the Jaywalking laws to do so is certainly the wrong way of doing it.

I recognize that racial profiling happens, even in urban centers where Police are given plenty of anti-racism training. I don't know what to do about that however, aside from making people at least aware of the issue.

Police need some leeway to do their job correctly. But whenever its because "I smell weed" or "You were Jaywalking", that just makes people angry and is counterproductive.
What recipe do you use? Never could get close to what a typical French baguette tastes like.
It was removed as a mental diagnosis because it only applied to women and basically functioned as a catch-all for "we don't understand why women are freaking out." It was overly broad as to be unhelpful.

The diagnoses that have succeeded it do not only apply to women, and they also have more specific requirements.

I highly recommend the episode of the podcast 99% Invisible about this subject, The Modern Moloch.

> Can't that argument be made for just about any crime?

No. The argument is only effective for crimes that a large percentage of people do frequently but which is only seldomly enforced with criminal sanctions.

And I am hard pressed to find any crime fitting that description that I would not be in favor of eliminating. I'm perfectly happy to start with jaywalking.
I would say 99% of all articles on this site and r/programming on reddit have someone say exactly what you have - that microservices are an organizational tool. At this point your view is not an unpopular one.

However, microservices can also serve actual technical purposes too. But the nuances of accepting two viewpoints often placed in juxtaposition to one another is not internet friendly. Microservices, service oriented architecture, whatever you call it depends on your level of cynicism i suppose (or optimism?).
> what are they expected to do

Pick a side. Preferably the free-speech side.
My first year of college, I was cited for jaywalking. I was walking across a barren street in our small college town on my way to class, and there was a town cop standing against a wall of a nearby building waiting for an easy catch.

I had fully crossed the street and was walking to a nearby building when I heard someone yell "Hey" behind me.

I contemplated not even turning around, because I wanted to get to class on time, but I did ... and saw the officer standing on the other side.

He didn't feel like coming to me, so he instructed me to re-cross the street back to him.

"Are you sure you want me to jaywalk back?" I asked. "Isn't that dangerous?"

He rolled his eyes and gave me the ticket.
I’m just doing a module in formal languages & automata now but hadn’t yet made the connection that they were related to regular expressions. Neat!

Depriving others of their property without their permission is generally seen as a bad thing and worthy of self-defense actions. Theft should be a crime.

I understand leniency if a hungry person is stealing food.

Why not make wage theft a criminal offense?
In addition to what andreareina said: Neutrons also interact with light while dark matter is called "dark" for a reason.
Yes they do. But monopolies suck and must be dismantled, anyway.
Decriminalization without functioning social work infra is this result. Just because SF is incompetent in this regard does not mean continued criminalization of minor offenses should continue.

There’s nuance, and that nuance is critical to the discussion.
It would be foolish to deny that stratification of classes is not reinforced by selective enforcement. However, cases such as Henry Louis Gates's arrest show that even the rich are not immune to racial profiling.
> a single service having multiple data layers for different things isn't really a big operational or organizational problem.

Your statement is true, and I’d like to consider the product/feature side as well. Enterprise SAAS customers expect their Single Source of Truth to be, well, a single source. They want reports across all of the data they have put into a product. A feature that should be a couple of JOINs can quickly become pretty dicey when data is sliced across multiple data stores.
That is true in general, but the theory "hey what if there was lots of invisible stuff" was developed long before further study confirmed that "gosh it sure looks like there's lots of invisible stuff". So you'd need a really contorted idea of gravity (at this stage heavily backfitted) to get the results that just fall right out of dark matter, even as conceived of before we got further confirmation.
I would sympathize with your confusion if it were just the first half of the post, but the second half makes it obvious that it is a sincere suggestion (and a reasonable one).
Hi, Michael.

I'm familiar with Oberon and have contributed to Peter De Wachter's Norebo bootstrapping scripts. I wrote a recent comment in another thread about the use of "applicative literature" in pedagogy. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25490826> Rikke's README for this project—and many other projects related to Oberon—end up describing processes in natural language, with steps to be performed manually, e.g. to change the bootloader. This is not special to Oberon, though. The gist of my argument is that pretty much every student and professor already has a suitable environment for handling process documents that could be adapted to be also executable by a machine. Do you have any thoughts about this? Do you have any experience trying to work with anything that follows Knuth's "literate programming" paradigm (including difficulties you've encountered)?

Anyway, nice work by you and your students. Wirth's RISC machine has a simplicity that others don't, which makes it good for teaching, but it makes some pragmatic choices that make it more realistic than similar attempts that result in toy computers that are a little too toy-like. It's work like this that makes for a decent transition after going from not knowing anything about a computer to hands-on understanding using a practical fantasy system like Wirth's to a full-on "industry-approved" instruction set RISC-V.
I would probably refer to the ethics dilemmas around "do not resuscitate" tattoos as the closest analog that I've heard about.

One of the problems with server side rendered React is hydration. Even a 100% static website built with Gatsby will download a bunch of JS just to hydrate components that end up doing nothing. There have been some coarse workarounds for this such as gatsby-plugin-no-javascript for Gatsby and `unstable_runtimeJs: false` in Next. But those both operate at the entire page level.

React server side components feels like it's taking those coarse solutions and making them more fine grained and less hacky. But my entire exposure to them is the video they just released, so who really knows at this point.

Criminalizing jaywalking is not going to stop any of this.

You mean “due to copyright law”. The DMCA doesn’t do anything to encourage the ban, it just stops Twitch from being liable for copyright infringement the moment the copyrighted content is on the stream at all.

If that's the case, why is the car going 35 mph in the first place?

Maybe they shouldn't be going that fast in areas with pedestrians?

No, the argument only applies to "crimes" that are very commonly committed. It isn't a racist law in itself but it allows racism to flourish.
In Norway pedestrians have the right of way on zebras. There was a fair bit of discussion a few years ago about how someone jogging in the dark would dart across a zebra and then drivers had to slam on the brakes not to hit them.

As a driver though, most roads to my right have the right of way. So if there is a road to the right where the view is blocked by some bushes or a house ... I will slow down just in case a car could pop out of there. That is what right of way means.

I also do this for zebras. I will slow down just in case, unless I'm sure that no one could possibly cross.
I was lucky enough to cash out of a startup after 7 years and 3 or 4 rounds of funding (I had left by the time I got the payout) as a share buyback for one of the VC investors.

I was diluted from 3.2% to about 1.3% but the value of the company had clearly risen so _at that point_ it was unimportant.

However in my opinion the company's burn rate and lack of growth clearly meant a later exit (likely an acqui-hire IMO) would have seen dilution without an equivalent growth in value, not to mention the ever-increasing VC non-dilution shares accelerating that.

I got majorly screwed on tax because the startup made no efforts to be efficient and were very chaotic in their arrangements for payout so that is definitely another important factor.

Overall by winning the startup share lottery I made roughly $500k for 5 or so years working there and that was as employee #1 so the maths given the pay cut probably don't work out too well (perhaps break even if I'd played the career game well).

However of course I am hugely grateful it happened and I got to see a startup grow from 3 people to more than 10x that and learnt a lot, as well as changing my coding career direction substantially.

I wouldn't recommend joining a startup as a non-founder other than for changing career or starting out. The trade-offs don't really make sense in most cases and you get a lot less say than you think you might (founders understandably want to control what is their baby) - never do it for the money.
