> thus they imagine they don't exist or "can't make it"...if you are willing to go 50 miles from the coasts you will find people in the trades who do OK

So it's the white collar folks who are ignorant and think that lifestyle doesn't exist...but also that lifestyle doesn't exist where the white collar folks live? It seems like you are saying that this lifestyle still exists in other places than the place depicted on the Simpsons. Another way to say that is "The Life in the Simpsons is No Longer Attainable."

Saying that someone could have a similar lifestyle somewhere else doesn't mean people are wrong when they imagine they can't have it where they are now. It seems like you agree with that? Also, FWIW, working in the trades pays pretty damn good in cities too.

2 kids, 2 and 4.

My wife and I both try to give the other time for themselves. She goes hiking most days and I’ve built up 3 custom bicycles over 2020 and ride them on local trails at night after the kids are asleep. Bike lights have been my best investment this year.
right. I was misreading this.
So for a register based VM, I would have to refer to the Parrot virtual machine then.
It is a fallacy however to assume that because someone is telling you something and getting paid to do so, that the being paid part is the only reason they are doing it. If you already believed that a car is the most valuable asset a person in America is likely to need, you would be more likely to become a car salesman than someone who is fundamentally opposed to the idea of cars. So the set of car salesmen is probably skewed toward the people who really believe in cars and would be preaching car stuff even if they weren’t paid to do it. But if you are passionate about something, and can get paid to do it, why would you not take it as your job, since it makes you more effective at doing the thing and also lets you do it full time.
Prop 22 was a reaction to how bad AB5 was really.

I found the paternalism of AB5 to be a little bit problematic. It really assumed that the drivers are too stupid to do their own accounting and figure out if they are making money or not. Pretty sure most drivers wouldn't be driving for $9.21 if a job at the local ice cream parlor could get them almost double on the spot. Yet you still see folks driving 30 hrs per week for years.
A lot of the gun channels have been de-monitized. Most of them have recorded promotions for various companies as part of the video. Others use patreon to fund the channel.
Sharing of satellites does happen in some senses already. These tend to be large satellites with significant power/data resources that can afford to host an extra payload.

Some examples:

1. TCTE is a NASA instrument capturing solar radiance data hosted on an Air Force satellite: https://lasp.colorado.edu/home/missions-projects/quick-facts...

2. The US military uses bandwidth of commercial communications satellites. Note, the article is actually about how they can't do it very well and want to get better so I will admit this is a bit contradictory to my point. https://spacenews.com/to-predict-the-future-of-military-sate...
I don't know why and it would be awesome to investigate it. However I have some random ideas :

- there is a lot of work to be done, and balanced coder can be considered as taking a place of a full-time coder

- companies when cooperating talk about full time equivalent. So it may be hard for some of such companies to change contracts with their clients to include balanced time equivalent

- some cultures promote quantity over quality. It means the aim is to onboard as many devs as possible to gain more profits. Because they earn per hour of work not per project

- some projects are poorly managed, so every dev has to be available all the time to be able to get all info needed and also share info with other devs

So this is my guess. But I think the idea is great and in many ways beneficial. I'd market it as a way to hire 10x developers who do more in 4 days than others in a month. That it is a great platform to seek for such developers who care deeply about their life balance. Also, maybe startups would be better to adopt to the concept.

Auth Terminology in the IDPro Body of Knowledge
i am using it to learn music and modulate my voice. it's an app called Riyaz for indian classical music training. there are so many apps out there and during covid time, i can brush up on my forgotten childhood music lessons. i just got a controller board and i am learning a different kind of music theory. none of this would be possible without my phone and how it connects me to the rest of the world.

i listen to audiobooks constantly when i walking or gardening or practicing my punches.

but here is my favourite: i am learning astrology and i have downloaded an astrology app which gives me info at the fingertips..something that would have been pretty unthinkable a few years ago. there is a technique called prashna with indian vedic astrology. you can make predictions based on the positions of planets at that exact second when a question is posed. you dont need to know anything about any person's birthtime etc. it is the astrology of 'that moment' in time..not a person.

so far, this has only been theory from the books. experienced astrologers good in math can calculate in a jiffy. not for the newbies or the students. they can also tell the time by watching shadows..not everyone of us can do that. anyways.. now we can test it and draw prashna charts on demand to learn and cross check. i know there arent a lot of astrology buffs here..much less indian astrology. but as a student of jyotish and i am sure for others who have more experience w/astrology too, this is a game changer. and now we can conduct more research and test everything from the reams of ancient texts. it is very exciting.
Apple's supply chain is more than 1,000 companies. Do you really think Apple has the expertise and personnel to replicate what 1,000 companies have spent decades mastering? Not likely.

You're added premise is an implicit point of Luu's article. Or perhaps the point is that Brooks' framing doesn't really apply when you can avoid programming altogether.

The silver bullet is open source. The ability to utilize the millions of hours of other people's work to accomplish your programming task is the game changer, and is what makes formerly complicated tasks trivial.

The essential complexity of the software I deal with is about two orders of magnitude more complicated than stuff I dealt with 20 years ago. I'm not sure that 20 years from now it will be another two orders of magnitude, but perhaps with utility computing and higher level orchestration concepts, it very well might be.
Here's my hypothesis: in healthy individuals, video games do not lead to violence. But in an unhealthy person who is already looking for an outlet, shooter games provide a template to follow, that may allow unfocused anger to turn into an actual plan. Is there any good science on this idea?

Guns and mental health problems had already been present in America for decades before mass shootings started happening. Video games are the only new ingredient I can see. I can't take seriously any full dismissal of their role until that timing is explained.

It seems like they let anything on, if it generates income. When you have Dana Loesch, I'm not sure you can be described as attracting independent thinkers, unless that's new code for outrage warrior. Looks to me like another platform (e.g. not Patreon/FansOnly) for influencers to monetize their more affluent (e.g. have $3/mo to spend) clientele.

Substack still likes drama, "In November, an anonymous Substack account published a newsletter titled “vote_pattern_analysis,” with a single, elaborate post claiming election fraud. On Twitter, the link was tagged with a fact-check label. For a time in December, the newsletter became one of the top free publications on Substack.", but I doubt it will descend into reddit territory.

I'm not sure that I trust Wikileaks on that either, but I don't trust the powers that be to adequately balance such motivations either, and ultimately I'd rather Wikileaks released information in dubious faith than not at all.

Yeah I was thinking about this -- when you try to innovate via policy, do you basically start at the bottom? That is, do you have to more or less a) match features with the incumbent, b) baseline need to meet the incumbents user volume (or a substantial fraction) and c) be able to benefit from the scale that the incumbent already benefits from?

Or can you throw money at it until you have those? TIDAL seems to be trying the "throw money at it until it's winning" strategy...
We are not pretending it's a tip, we're acknowledging the reality that these workers are exploited and attempting to ensure they can make a living. This can be at the same time as we try to pressure companies to do right by their employees, or government to force them to.
Same. From what I've read, it seems saturated fat is fine. Unsaturated fat is fine. Partially hydrogenated oil causes way more problems than either of those ever could.
Nice! The Long Trail, in Vermont, is one you could add to the list.
Yes, the main difference is the instruction set.

One common way to design a stack-based instruction set is to refer to the local variables using stack offsets, just as in a register-based instruction set. The operation for reading a local variable makes a copy of the stack slot at the given offset and pushes it into the top of the stack, where it may be used as the input for subsequent operations. For example, to implement "X = X + Y" it might use the following code:

LOAD 0 (pushes the contents of X to the stack)
LOAD 1 (pushes the contents of Y to the stack)
ADD (pops two values and pushes the result)
STORE 0 (pops one value, and stores it into X)

Meanwhile, in a register-based VM the ADD operation manipulates the relevant stack slots directly:

ADD R0 R0 R1 (compute R0 + R1 and store in R0)

> Instruction set is simpler but at the cost of requiring additional operations.

Well put. This is one of the key differences between a stack VM and a register VM. In register VM the instructions are larger, because they need to specify all their arguments. However, a stack VM may need to generate more instructions to fiddle with the top of the stack.

If you want to read more, one good example of a stack-based VM is the one in the Crafting Interpreters book. For a good example of a register based VM my suggestion would be the paper about the implementation of Lua (section 7 in particular).

please list smartphones i can buy that have no suppliers with any history of human rights issues thank you
That is absolutely not true. I've eaten at and will continue to return to several restaurants that pay their workers (all of them, not just the servers) a fair wage, where tipping is not at all encouraged. I imagine my server might not turn it down if slipped them a $5 anyway, but the business model of these places is made to run without tips.
I don't think you understand how "cause of death" reporting actually works.
"Forced Labor" is an active form of "Slavery". "Detention" is a passive form of "Slavery".

So the choice at hand is Slavery vs, Slavery.

A note to the pedantic among us: I did not say "Chattel Slavery", "Modern Slavery", or any other modifiers. The Cambridge English dictionary defines slavery as "The activity of legally owning other people who are forced to work for or obey you" and "The condition of being legally owned by someone else and forced to work for or obey them".

I think we can safely say that this case applies, specifically because, in that country, this system of activity is "Legal".
Just to make sure no one is confused by this, jobs in prison are a privilege you have to earn through good behavior.

Firefighting jobs are the most coveted because you get to leave prison grounds, and as of 2020, can now be employed as a firefighter upon release (in CA).
How many total 737 MAX MCAS events occurred?

If two ended in crashes, I’d expect there to be twenty or so similar events that the pilots were able resolve.

All it takes is for a single IMU failure to fall on people. Two IMUs doesn't help because you don't know which one is right. With three you can vote out the 1/3 failing IMU and issue a warning to land immediately.

> Why is this ethical responsibility somehow always offloaded to the consumer?

Because without consumer, there would be no incentive for either China and Apple to behave amorally.

China is a totalitarian dictatorship. As long as it's citizens don't rebel, they have no incentive to change their behavior. Apple is a publicly traded company. They need good publicity.

So, as a humanist, I say it's up to the consumers to force Apple to stop contributing to human rights abuses.
It's baffling, but not surprising to me. I worked in mission operations on some NASA satellites. A reporter once asked our team "so how do you get up there every day to fly them?"

Indeed - surely the best time to have a full picture of a candidate is right before they go to the polls?!

Also not to be a whataboutist (I didn't have a horse in the race), but plenty of other dirt was released on other candidates in the run-up to the election, and I didn't see the Clinton campaign condemning the timing of its release...

So, we're acknowledging... capitalism? Getting rid of tipping isn't the answer. Getting rid of capitalism is.

We know that some fats are good for you, but saturated fats are still linked to high cholesterol.
Except those with high stakes standardized testing. Having to invest a little bit of time into extracurricular doesn't look so bad as compared to cramming for years for an arbitrary exam.
The discussion is (de facto) coerced vaccination vs. voluntary. I think that enough people will voluntarily vaccinate that the population-level effects of insufficient vaccination will be small. If so, the points about "endangering the lives of others" do not carry much weight, and the discussion of whether one still has freedom to make medical decisions is very relevant.

If it could be mathematically proven that there is 0% risk of negative effects? Sure. Put a requirement for vaccination in the constitution. But the current RNA vaccines have not been tested at scale before, and empirical information about long-term effects is unknowable. Things are likely good based on current knowledge, but there is uncertainty.

Anyone who wishes to enact population-level policies in such a situation is making a statement about the likelihood of an "unknown unknown" that is unsupported by data. In the light of this, it is very ethically problematic to mandate anything at this point. That's even if you're open to de facto mandates regarding medical procedures in the first place.

Of course the consideration would be different if the disease had a 100% mortality rate, but such a situation would obviousy also affect people's decisions about whether to get vaccinated or not. You wouldn't see me presenting this argument of principles if that was the reality.

You can't determine with an equation at what point such policies would be palatable, but you can make comparisons to other dangerous activities that affect others. Smoking. Driving a car, or speeding. Drinking alcohol. (De facto) mandatory medical procedures seem excessive in the light of our current policies against such behavior.

One might make a different argument if the skepticism was so widespread that the vaccination program was ineffective, but let's revisit it if that happens.

Probably because it's a 10 year longitudinal study, which is significantly better than the endless stream of small sample limited observational studies. Also without the full contents and methodology, we can't acty evaluate the study very well.

Thise leaves bias from confirmation of existing beliefs along with more anecdotal evidence not directly connected to videogames, such as decreasing crime rates over the period of time that videogames have become more violent. However relying on that correlation alone is a post hoc ergo proper hoc fallacy.

In short, we simply don't know enough about the study to overcome comment with substance, at the same time that the study corresponds to conclusions based on similar research. I'm hesitant to declare "confirmation bias" though when it does ostensibly confirm other research, though it's not really a replication, so I'd withhold final judgement.
He didn't kill anyone this time. There's a non-zero chance of transmitter failure, or a "flyaway", where the drone basically enters full-power to the rotors and just goes whatever direction it happens to be pointed in.

In such a situation, it could easily cause a car accident, or crash through the window of a tall building, or worst-case scenario - which these laws are very much trying to prevent - it could end up in the engine of a plane coming in to land and endangering the hundreds of people on board.

If this drone was urgently delivering an organ for a transplant across the city, and flown by a professional operator with clearance from local airspace authorities, as well as multiple redundant systems to prevent catastrophic failure - then it's definitely worth the risk. But obviously that's not the case here, this was an amateur playing with a toy in order to make a youtube video. As such, it should only be allowed in the lowest risk environments - like big empty fields far away from people and airports.
Which makes total sense when people are avoiding medical check ups and hospitals for fear of infection.

Yes, fuck yes. They're not a mom and pop shop. They're a corporation that finds millions to lobby governments against making your electronics repairable. They can redirect those to paying the manufacturing workers directly.
The importance of those slippers is tied strongly to their rarity. So little survived from 5000 years ago that almost anything from that time is valuable.

By comparison, we'll create more data in the next ten minutes than entire centuries from our relatively recent history. Lots of stuff is getting preserved in lots of places with substantive redundancy for virtually nothing. Your slippers today are likely to be more valuable than the near-infinite troves of documents and photos and whatever else.

Mobiles have a pretty great ecosystem of audio creation apps. Standard synths and sequencers abound, and there are lots of weirdo instruments to play with too. Using Audiobus or AUM lets you drop effects onto audio synths (or any sound source really) and control them via sequencers (check out Fugue Machine), most apps support this. It’s a lot like playing with modular synths, and you can stick GarageBand or some other DAW at the end to record your improvised sessions; I believe some can do multitrack recording as well.

I bought an iPad Pro back in 2016 specifically for music production. I got a lot of mileage in particular out of Loopy, the most versatile loop “pedal” I’ve ever seen. $5 gets you a 12-track looper/mixer with an intuitive touch interface and lots of advanced features. It’s iOS only though.
