>> And, according to eHealth.com, Homer doesn't qualify for 'savings'.

He doesn't make enough, 42K/year is below 138% of the poverty line for a family of five (barely). So it looks like instead they would be eligible for Healthy Michigan which is part of expanded Medicaid. That income limit is based on MAGI (how appropriate!) so if they were slightly over, they could work around it. And even if they were over the limit, the limits for CHIP are higher so they could make more and still have coverage for the kids. Looks like he would be eligible even with insurance from work, that coverage would be primary. Total cost of premium/co-pays limited to 5% of income.

This was enacted around 2013 so people with that income today would be way better off than a similar family in the 1990s as far as health care goes.

The problem isn't a 42K income in Flint, the problem is there aren't enough jobs in Flint that pay $20 an hour, the median household income is around $29K.
I wouldn't call that a good sign of leadership. That's more an act of shutting everyone else off from access to technology.

Instead, a good leader will help lift others. Take Microsoft Research. For a long time, they were a leader in scientific publications in CS, with many awards. Compare that to Apple, and imho any sign of "leadership" is completely non-existent in comparison.
It's kind of discouraging when the TLAs don't even bother showing up... we all just end up talking past each other!
If a low-quality machine translation is sufficient to make those games playable because they're text-light, I question whether that's actually any better than having a human who knows the language spend an hour swapping the text out instead. You'd be surprised how often machine TL will muck up things like menu options or item names. The appeal of automated TL makes way more sense if it means saving hundreds of hours of localization work (not that it does...)
Anima Anandkumar got off Twitter recently.
Horror movie scenario I can think of: by 2021 it becomes obvious that Xyz vaccine gives you a 50% chance of some terminal disease within 1 year, and companies use the government list to refuse to employ you.
additionally, in past, we were much more connected to slaughter of animals as a normalized activity.
It can't just be hydraulics though, because to me the most telling moments that look fake are when the robots are jumping - they have too much hang time/too much uniform velocity for the relatively small amount of vertical distance they get. In particular, see the initial jump at 15 secs in the video. It's like the robot is floating instead of jumping.
Failure to understand NgU.
Yes Salt Lake City has done it to much more success than SF. Of course, Utah and SLCers in general tend to also be more charitable than SFers, so it's hard to say what would happen in SF if they were to do this, given that the population is full of seeming misers.
There is a big difference between slave/forced labor and paying for cheap labor.

Majority of your examples state something along the lines of "paying inmates peanuts to make expensive things"... which literally is not the definition of slave labor.

The article is about literal Chinese Slave Labor camps. There is no comparison with any of the things in your list.

Most people would also agree, providing a purpose - jobs, training and skills to inmates is a net win for everyone involved, and is a core component in rehabilitation - directly combating rescindance.
You're dismissing perfectly reasonable and macronutritionally balanced food as "loaves of sugar and nitrites" (I guess you don't like meat either?). See above, the 3-5g sugar content is meaningless.

You should consider that you might be a food snob.
I partially agree, but think it depends on the nature of the attack and the types of security procedures/protections that were already in place.

For example, consider seat-belts. If you don't wear one, and you are involved in a crash, there is a serious likelihood you will die or be seriously injured. Hence we make it the drivers responsibility to ensure passengers wear their seatbelts. Now, if everybody was wearing their seat belts, the car was serviced, there were airbags etc, but out of nowhere a tree hits the car, should we hold the driver accountable for not having installed a cutting edge anti-tree device to their vehicle? Of course not!

Unfortunately, defenders are always on the back foot. You can have the best security posture and still fall to a zero day. We need a nuanced policy in place which blames victims that have no security posture whatsoever, but properly assigns responsibility to the attacker when the victim did everything they reasonably could. Defining "reasonably could" is the very challenging part.
You're treating lateral forces and traction forces as independent variables.
Huh, I might have to look into that.

I've always had a "high metabolism" in that I can eat enormous quantities of food (and calories) and still struggle to put on weight. If I don't lift weights often I lose weight until people comment on how skinny I am.

I get the shakes and feel horrible if I skip a single meal, or if I don't constantly consume food - doubly so when working out.

I also use the bathroom often, certainly every day.
This is all fall out from the Timnit Gebru firing (I'm including Anima Anandkumar posts are also part that fall out.), and specifically a Twitter fight between Pedro Domiguez and Timnit Gebru, and others.

The biggest hill that Domingos has staked out is that asking researchers to include a discussion of impacts and potential abuse of systems to be "wasteful" and "ill-conveived"[0]. Also, he has decided to make a stand on the hill that the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems should not go by the acronym NeurIPS[1].

AB5 was in response to the California Supreme Court ruling in Dynamex v. Superior Court. In Dynamex, the court created a new 3-part test that replaced the old Borello standard from 1989. AB5 carved out exceptions in the wage law statute. If it wasn't enacted, most contractors would be considered employees under Dynamex.
that video hits my uncanny valley
Is that being argued? We’re talking about this article. The commenter I responded to calls it a hit-piece implying the reporting lacks objectivity and exists solely for the purpose of being damaging. If that’s the case then point it out.
There are better ways to cap government income than what is effectively rent control for rich people.

A lot of areas have laws that only allow total revenue to go up by say 1% a year. So when they do tax assessments, they have to lower the property tax percentage for everyone equally to stay under the limit.
I'm not surprised that there are policies against people reuploading other peoples content.
normally you could also just create a bookmarklet and create a window for management within the page (all pages, where you can do bookmarks sensibly should support that)

Well I thought bitcoin was a bad idea back in 2013. So yeh... That's why I want to ask for more hackers' opinions.
> Are you saying that generics on futures are bad?

Yes - because it means existing code that expects a T cannot accept a Future<T>, which is the colouring problem being discussed.

You end up with half your code accepting futures and the other legacy half not accepting them and there's a divide. If you want to use the legacy code you have to force the future potentially before you really needed it.

> I don’t see the alternative.

The alternative is wherever a function accepts a concrete value T t, also let it accept a future value T t. When t is actually used, then block as if get was called.
> you get a lot more calories than you can physically burn in one day.

I don't know if I do, since my weight has been pretty constant for a few years. But I'm sure some people do. Are most people in a state of constantly increasing weight?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this code would block if (for example) one single request in a batch of 10 takes significantly longer to complete. The 9 other threads are then doing nothing while they wait.

Of course, you could implement a more robust algorithm for scheduling threads, but it sounds like an implementation of FiberScheduler would make the best use of a single thread's resources (and you could scale that to multiple threads as needed using something like a shared queue). Since fibers are lighter-weight, it's presumably more efficient to run parallel IO operations in a single thread, and only use more threads if your work requires it.
Every safety analysis has a system boundary and a definition of "loss". In your example, the topmost system would also include you as a subsystem, and the loss you're trying to prevent is injury to yourself. Getting stranded is a hazard that could result in that loss. A mitigation could be to allow you to damage the vehicle subsystem to protect the person subsystem. A formal safety program would try to avoid process escapes such as overlooking a scenario like that. You might still decide not to design for it, but at least you consciously made that decision.

Bombs cause infinitely bigger international uproars for good reasons.

Robot assassins that cannot die change the calculus. Governments don't have to risk losing their human assets in order to take out a target. They can just send out a 4-legged drone to prick them with polonium and call it a day.
You've totally misread this. First base is the lowest category of wealth that the article describes.

22% received support and inherited up to a million, and a further 40% inherited at least a million - more than a lifetime's worth of income.

People outside these categories included those whose parents ran a successful business.
hundreds of professors without funding would not be dire consequences, imo. I feel like it would be a market correction. what will universities do? fire them and let the administrators teach?

I read you comment as another anecdote towards the general belief that higher education requires a refactor for many parties and the general growth of knowledge creation.
Humans did not evolve to live in an environment with so few "real" enemies. Our brain will make up dangers around us and will task us as the only ones who really see them to take care of them.

We need to reestructure the way we think about education and mental health.

Good automated (or even partially automated) inpainting would probably be a godsend for typesetters, since they can spend a considerable amount of time on a single page if it has lots of text or detailed illustrations. I imagine the publishers that put out multiple print volumes a month would probably pay good money for it, but it might still be too small of a market to build commercial software for...

In the worst case even skilled typesetters can spend an entire day cleaning up and typesetting a particularly nasty page if they have to repaint lines and blank out dozens or hundreds of kanji (it happens)
What makes you think benefits won’t spread? We’re on track to producing vaccines by the billions, the biggest mobilization and logistical effort in the history of mankind. Good luck buying a vaccine and cutting the line, even if you have $10k to spare.

I think the risk that the wealthiest few will rule the world is largely misplaced and overblown. We’ve lifted millions out of poverty and made tremendous progress in last few decades. And continue to do so. Yes, inequality has grown and accelerated due to the pandemic (Russell 2000 vs S&P500, retail is screwed but there is nothing we can do about it besides giving relief). We need to fix tax laws and corporate loop holes, not instituting marxism in our society.
Thanks for the information. Your version seems very plausible to me; that's why I questioned GP's trivial dismissal.
In a military context, "flight" can mean "mission". I only suggest that something may have been lost in the language. I find that easier to believe than this thing hovering over a battlefield for 40 minutes.
> Does that indicate that I have a violent desire is to go out and shoot people? Absolutely not.

Perhaps. But does it mean you're more tolerant of violence? And that others such as yourself eventually aggregate to have a collective impact on the broader culture? And what about 10 or 20 years from now, will your non-desire to shoot people still not exist?

Neuro-plasticity effectively dictatess we are what we consume, we are what we do. I'm not disputing your self-diagnosis. But there is science that does.
This is the most important part. So much of the political conversation is centered around whether we should be paying the bottom rung of society $7.25 an hour or $15 an hour. Almost none of the discussion is about why $7.25 an hour in the US can buy so much less than other countries.

Why is it that $7.25 an hour would be a princely sum in Thailand or Costa Rica or the Czech Republic but is starvation wages in Tulsa or Jacksonville or Duluth? Most people think they know the answer to this question but it's a facile half truth that's doesn't stand up to much empirical scrutiny. Digging into the real cause is something that hasn't received enough economic attention because it gores the sacred bulls of both the left and the right.
Homer Simpson visited all 7 continents, along with two trips to outer space. So I guess the lesson is that unskilled labourers in the 1990s had a much easier time affording frequent international travel than people today, if you take the Simpsons as some sort of documentary. And apparently the type of writer who gets published in the Atlantic these days does just that.
I'm personally buying bitcoin to hedge against possible inflation in the next year. The COVID relief packages are just the government printing more money, making existing money worth less. Once the vaccines are showing their effect in stopping the pandemic there will be a lot of pent up spending people are going to want to do which will lead to higher prices. Bitcoin seems like a good inflation hedge due to its fixed amount.
I am sorry to hear about what you went through, and hope life has been kinder to you since.

These kinds of stories are why I, as a north European, have a hard time imagining living in the US. Sure a SE job will pay much more net in the US, but you have litte to no social net that dampens your fall when it comes (as it does for us all).

My partner was diagnosed with cancer little over a year ago. She had all (100%) of her medical bills taken care of by the state. She took 6 months off work on full pay, as she and all living here have a legal right to do. Her employer added 3 months of fully paid medical leave on top of that. She can not be fired due to a medical issue arrising. She has now finished her treatment, full remission and is back at work.
Ceph recommends 1gb ram per tb of storage. Going lower gives massive hits to performance and the 1gbe ethernet connection becomes a bottleneck with fewer nodes, so I don't think it's viable to scale this way
Surprised nobody has pointed out that the premise seems suspect. Does a few very large organizations mean companies in general are fleeing or does it say something about these companies?

There are people who desperately want this to be true or believed, but it doesn’t seem supported by evidence.
> But then Prop 22, by direct referendum overturned AB5.

Voting can also be influenced by short term events.

1) AB5 was a garbage bill so it was a good target.

2) Uber/Lyft/et al poured a MASSIVE amount of scare tactic marketing into this. They also horribly misused their email and phone number database which, in my opinion, should get them drastically fined--I sure as hell didn't give them permission to use my email/phone number to be lobbied to.

3) This was combining with the fact that due to Covid a lot of people are getting zero assistance and, for them, the only money they may be making may be coming in from Uber/Lyft.

This is pretty much a perfect storm for getting a bad proposition through.
A falsifiable theory that led to a useful discovery (of oxygen, according to the Wikipedia article) seems nothing like string theory.
What are you talking about? "Untrusted websites" can't send push notifications. Being able to send push notifications requires a browser-level popup dialog that the user explicitly has to opt into, for each individual website. There's no drive-by API that lets you spam random website visitors with push notifications.

I don't see how you could "make a website that abuses them just to make [your] point." No one would bother enabling notifications for your abusive website, and even if you managed to convince them to do it, they'd just turn them off for your abusive website as soon as you started spamming them.
> I imagine locals are allocated to and stored on the stack, exactly like you discuss for the registers. But in a stack VM, you can't work on them directly. Instead you have to load them into this special other place

Another thing you have to take into consideration is how many registers you can index. This is relevant also when you're not constrained by hardware registers when you define a VM, because register references take up space in the instruction encoding, which have consequences in the instruction decoding performance and analysis (e.g. if all your instructions have the same length you are sure you cannot have jumps in the middle of an instruction and thus start executing a corrupt "unaligned" instruction stream)

Once you have more locals than available registers, you have to start emitting instructions to spill and load locals from and into registers which play a bit the role of the dance you have to do in stack machines to access any local.

In a way you can see a stack machine as a degenerate case of a register machine: a 2 register machine with some implicit operations on them every time an instruction is executed.
There has to exist a difference between victim-blaming and people screwing up at their jobs.

In the case of the SolarWinds attack, their management seemed to be quite technical and the attacker was just too strong/sophisticated, so SolarWinds is considered a victim.

But in the case of the Equifax, they're considered at fault because their head of security seemed unqualified for the job and the victims were actually the millions of users whose private data was put at risk of abuse.

The probability in this case is very high that the upper management at Funke was quite incompetent at how they've digitized their operations.
They sure are mad.
The difference is the scale. While you may have one burglar try and break in, in cyberspace, you could have thousands of state sponsored hackers trying to break in.

A burglar needs to quickly break in, otherwise they risk getting caught. Hackers never get caught. There is absolutely no risk, and high reward.
Opera was trying to make money in a commoditized environment.

Honestly, i do not believe that Flow has much of a future as a proprietary product for providing a browser engine no matter how good it supposedly is - even Sciter presents itself as a UI engine, not a browser engine.

However that doesn't mean writing a new browser engine is impossible, it only means that it doesn't make much economic sense for a company to do so. Those two are not the same thing.
In the case of BD, the question seems to be what exactly is the end. Making walking robots is an incredible feet of engineering but one that doesn't seem to solve an actual industrial problem.

For a lot of use, as a mean of locomotion, they are fighting not only tracks but also flying now that multicopters are ubiquitous. Is there still a market for them? Cool research anyway.
As pointed out by others, this is happening in other developed countries as well, it’s just lagging behind the US.

Personally, I largely blame our learned culture of referencing “children in Africa”. Want to fuck up a child’s eating patterns for life? Force them to clean their plate.

There are several languages with which you can discuss the standard model, particularly Group Theory, which I don't think require much familiarity with the details of QM. I assume this is what the GP is talking about given his mention of Noether currents.

I say this as someone who is quite familiar with QM, so it's very possible I'm just neglecting to consider all the implicit context I'm working with.
If you're reading this and still haven't seen Animatrix yet, you must.

Absolutely stunning show of animation styles, story telling and great music.
I consider myself able to read manga in Japanese, yet certainly encounter a few words each chapter which I have to guess the meaning of. So I can see how this would help. Yet my impression would be that this isn’t really that time consuming? I would think typesetting would be the most labor intensive by an order of magnitude.
Yeah, eating less is probably the most important thing for people who want to lose weight. Not going to dispute that.

Just wanted to address the exaggeration/overgeneralization in GP comment.
Does it need to be a precision weapon to be a weapon of terror?

And with a kill zone of 20-30 meters... you can miss by quite a lot and still do a ton of damage.
Oh that's good to know. For someone my age, I have embarrassingly little knowledge of shell customization. I just looked in .zshrc and there was a comment to the effect of "Add your aliases below, e.g. ALIAS blah=foo" and so I listened to it!
This is exactly what I do not understand. How would a system with a fixed amount of coins work in real life, i.e. in a case like we currently have, when you just need to get money into people's hands so that they can pay their rent and do not starve?
I get what you're going at, but I think it fundamentally misunderstands something.

If the writing is bad, there's nothing that can really "improve" it other than the original author cleaning it up with the help of an editor. A bad translation is effectively a new work, at best inspired by the original bad script. You could replace a bad Japanese script with a "good" English one - this has happened before - but at that point it's questionable whether any translation has happened at all, you're mostly writing new content inspired by the original work or adhering to broad constraints. What I'd say you're doing here is improving the experience of playing the game, but you haven't done anything meaningful to the writing or script.

In a few cases western companies have licensed Japanese works and spliced them together with entirely new plots for overseas audiences - Robotech is one infamous example where arguably there was nothing wrong with the source material and the result wasn't just a liberal translation.
It all adds up. Okay, to acknowledge my biases, I’m coming at this from a cultural perspective of being vaguely disgusted by sugary bread, but... why is it there? It contributes to a general saturation of sugar in American food.
Evolutionary wise, games are a way for us to train things without actually doing the thing. This is very beneficial when the real thing is high risk.

Also on the evolutionary side, it was beneficial for us men to deal with violence and agression, to either defend our own stuff, or take that from others.

We're basically still training for when the day comes, we are able to survive. Good thing for most of us in the modern world, that day will never come. And so we can enjoy training in the risk free environment.
Same deal. It doesn't really make much economic sense for a company to make their own browser engine unless they want to leverage it for something else.

But that is not the same as saying that making a new browser engine being impossible in 2020.
The text is written in the same clickbaity style. But the libraries look pretty interesting.
