They aren't attempting to say that. They said that the US also does a lot of abuses that the US accuses China of doing. It certainly is not bad faith.

But here, I'll give you a nice fact that will help you be more rational : the US has killed more innocents in the Middle East over lies than China is even accused of imprisoning in Xinjiang. So if you want your measure of evil, there they are. Both are evil.
The fed were tipped off by an ex. The most telling part of the terrorist attack on the capital is how many family members, coworkers, and acquaintances couldn’t wait to turn them in. There was a story this morning about a wife turning in her husband for threatening to shoot their children if the children “snitched.”

XOR is used a ton in the theoretical underpinnings of cryptography. It's used in the one time pad which is essentially the "smallest" cryptographic scheme that is perfectly secure (perfectly secure has a mathematical definition in this context, it's not saying there can never be any attacks).

In general the reason why is that if you have two random variables x and y, where x has any distribution (so for example x could even be "attack normandy on june 6" with certainty) and y is uniformly distributed across all n-bit strings (so it could be any string of n zeros and ones with equal probability), then you can show that x ^ y appears as if it is also uniformly distributed across all n-bit strings as well.

Because of this property it's used frequently in many higher order methods as well.
Why would BTC correlate with SP500? There hasnt been much correlation in the 11 years BTC has existed, only during recent year and not much really.
Any system should incentivize shopping around unless it wants inflated cost. That or discourage frequent engagement (the US consumes comparatively massive amounts of healthcare product and service with inefficient outcomes). Our present system is _designed_ to prevent price comparison and shopping around via price opacity, network lock-in, state-level artificial supply barriers, etc.

Universal coverage on par with Europe would mean we all start consuming less individually (which isn’t a big deal to outcomes but not part of our culture), or we need to have a far more competitive environment for suppliers. Either would be better than what we have today, whether insurance is public, private, or a mix of both.
I guess it was good before compression. Nowdays working with protobufs is painful inside Google as well, but at least it's supported by everything.

Most of what the CPUs at Google are doing is just copying fields from one protobuffer to another.
Right it's pretty fucking willy-nilly no matter the conditions you are testing for correlation. The nations you mentioned all had pretty different public responses as well.

That is why I think it's dangerous to proclaim lockdowns are a panacea because with a few exceptions you end up with similar results but a fucked economy
Is there a drug that could be legalized and/or prescribed in a safe setting that would be less harmful than these?

Or, what is the social need that the drug pretends to fill, and can that need be met in a better way before addictions get out of hand?
I agree. Other people here mentioned that sounds like a waste of money, but I honestly am not sure as I don't have good figures about how different treatments cost.

However, I believe that by doing so I can avoid preventable conditions later in my life and it's well worth it both for my quality of life and potentially for other people as I might not need that much medical assistance and leave it for those who need it.
Individual states have loan caps and limits, as pointed out below though it's probably the effective rate after interest and fees.

It's sick, sad, and understandable. The reason people on the right are frustrated are similar to the reasons people on the left are frustrated. At the root, people want security and safety for their families. If everyone would stop, take deep breaths, and peel back all of their anger, we could start building off common goals, slowly educating each other to our trials and tribulations, and maybe find common ground on other issues.

We all would agree this is outrageous in fees right here. It's a good start.
Which credible scientists? Levitt? Bhattacharya?
I misinterpreted the "2019, October 11, 00:16" to indicate when the following text was written.
The pessimistic/realist view is that issues are sometimes ignored because, though they may actually be quite important, they are a pain to deal with or the maintainer of contributors just don't want to think about them.

A matter of "out of sight, out of mind" but with the benefit of being able to instantly close off new issues without begetting discussion by marking them as a duplicate of the old locked and closed issue. A roundabout and obfuscated form of the "closed: wontfix/not interested" patterns of yore.

Of course that's not the main or majority reason, but it is there. And it is fair.
Try to find citations - original sources, not right-wing bloggers – for those claims. You’ll see that the first does not happen but the latter does when it crosses the line into racism (race is a legally protected category) and genocide, which is a call to violence.

The rules are not hard to stay within. The disturbing part is that many conservatives self-identify with these extremes.

What is "a credible existential threat to civilization" to you? The recent riots seem to be more than adequately handled through existing law enforcement procedures. Obviously the police can't prevent every crime, but in this case investigation and prosecution seems to be enough to remove bad actors. We know what the consequences of free speech are, and even if the downsides are amplified 1000x by its enemies, the downsides are still manageable by existing institutions.

What are the known consequences of not having free speech? Is there a large country where this hasn't resulted in the death and/or oppression of millions? Even Mao's China had the Cultural Revolution, which was more destructive than the BLM and Capitol riots combined. Clearly not having free speech prevents neither civil unrest nor insurrection against the lawful authorities.

If you're looking for a dream solution where the world becomes great, than free speech will never get you there. You will probably be attracted to the unproven promises of some ideology or another due to lack of alternatives. If you're looking for a comparison of real-world consequences where one imperfect solution outperforms another, then so far free speech has yet to produce a Holocaust, a Holodomor, or a Three Years of Great Famine. The lack of free speech has.
I'm always willing to learn more - do we have a one-stop-shop apples to apples comparison of U.S. vs. UK and other countries' healthcare models with stats and explanations, one that is free from strong biases ? I struggled to find a non-political, but still meaningful comparison data site online via Google.
Based on things I've heard but not confirmed, the tongue is only able to meaningfully detect about 4 things and a lot of what we sense as "taste" is actually provided by our olfactory senses.

I had COVID for a while a month or so ago and my sense of smell was gone for about 2 weeks. Completely obliterated. It's like, you think you know what 'total darkness' is like until the first time you're in a cave and someone turns off the lights. It was like that but for smell. I couldn't smell an open bottle of vinegar under my nose.

Anyway, I can confirm that I could only appreciate the basest of flavors. As a food addict, I honestly wish it had been permanent because it removed a whole lot of temptation to eat for entertainment.
I am happy enough using ProtonMail and calendar, Duck Duck Go, and Apple services. But, I use tons of Google services that I pay for: Youtube Premium via Youtube Music, Google Photos (pay for extra storage), books, GCP. I like being able to search Google Photos, and that is one killer feature that Apple Photos does not have (my iPhone automatically uploads all pictures to both, as well as OneDrive). As individuals, we all need to decide where to draw the line re: privacy. I found a setup that I am comfortable with.

Oysters have a central nervous system, with three ganglia: http://www.manandmollusc.net/advanced_introduction/bivalve_n...

In our central nervous system one of the ganglia grow tooooooo much. Moreover, the olfactory part of it grow tooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

Sure Perl may have been in decline for ages, but people were not comparing Perl to Python for that long.
Simply because python hasn't existed that long.

Python 2.0 was released in 2000.
Python 1.0 was 1994, and Python 0.9 (first public release?) was 1991.

Check the google trends.

Pointing out that plants react to external stimuli is interesting. But using "feel" is an emotionally-loaded word.

Additionally, although oysters (and at least dozens of other species of animals) lack a CNS, they also react to external stimuli. In fact, oysters are used in some water systems as sophisticated water quality detectors, e.g. in San Diego https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJJz15N1KEY .

I think Raku's Inline approach will one day eliminate that suffering and replace it with the even larger advantage that Raku's ecosystem will trend toward being the sum of other PL's existing ecosystems.

Consider the Perl modules on CPAN. Raku's ability to just use many of these existing Perl modules, including ones that use XS, completely unmodified, running via standard perl binaries, and thus running exactly the same as they would be if run standalone instead of within the Inline harness; and using standard Raku syntax, as if Perl modules were native Raku modules; all of that, done well, is an extraordinary breakthrough.

Stefan Seifert did remarkable and respected work for a decade on some of the most important Inlines that Perl folk use; imo his 5 years of work on the Raku evolution of that notion are far more remarkable in terms of the long term implications I see as I watch the maturing of the Perl Inline and look forward to the anticipated redo of the Inlines for other langs to catch up with the Perl Inline.

This is the kind of comment that immediately classifies the commenter as never having lived outside the US and/or not reading anything but US news sources. And with the wilful blindness to how exactly those gatekeeping referrals are present in most every single healthcare plan in the US.

> it takes a surprisingly small number of emotionally stable adults to help kids get through chaotic circumstances

The "surprising" modifier here makes the object something that needs extra context, what's surprising here is that the number is small and not large. If bio mom and bio dad and foster mom and foster dad and all the extended family and most of their teachers are distant, but their track coach is emotionally invested (thanks, Buzz), that's, surprisingly, sometimes all that it takes.

Yes, if no one's invested, that's not enough, as you'd expect. It does leave the possibility that everyone is invested and it's still not enough.

It's not generally recommended but you can do a custom getproperty() for Tuple.

julia> function Base.getproperty(x::Tuple, f::Symbol)
if f == :a
return x[1]
elseif f == :b
return x[2]
else
return x[3]
end
end

julia> (3,4,5).a

I feel this has a lot less value in a world where you enable GitHub discussions. While not a panacea, it does remove the clutter of 'issues as discussions' and allows you to really use the issue tracker for just issues.

This is what I would recommend every open source project do on GitHub:

- Convert discussion issues to discussions

- Label the existing issues as issue type (e.g. bug) if this makes sense for your project

- Add an issue template that specifies if it is a feature request / discussion etc that it will be moved to discussions and they should proceed there, otherwise it can be filed as an issue

- And importantly, close issues you don't intend to address, and a short explainer why (even if its just 'no longer relevant' or 'is not going to be considered, if requested open a new *discussion etc, make some boilerplate)

That makes sense to me at least. I know discussions isn't perfect (far from it) however it cuts down the clutter on the issue tracker and makes it much easier I think to engage with the community (issues have this 'binding' status a lot of the times that discussions implicitly don't, so its much safer to spitball IMHO)

The largest Foxconn factory is in China, so I can see nothing wrong with this comment at all.
Yeah and furthermore, what price will that be?

Solar/wind is already under gas turbine. And it's still dropping 10%+ per year and looking at the necessary economies of scale to replace incumbent coal and gas, has a long way to go.

Your competitive price in ten years is a total unknown, but likely is 1/2 to 1/3 the current price.

Your 10 years is probably just for research. Then installation/production of any substantial number of small reactors is another 10 years.

Another 10 years of price reductions in wind/solar/storage.

I, a LFTR stan, encourage moderate research into these exciting technologies, nuclear just has too much advantage in density of power.

But they won't be in mainstream power fo 30 years.

Also, "hot" take: fusion has the exact same challenges, and chasing the same cost problem.

I would like to second the eye rubbing awareness. I have keratoconus in both eyes, and had two (donor) corneal transplants in the 1990s, in my teens. Even with them, my sight is not great, as the distortions from the transplant scarring and residual keratoconus around the edges are only partially correctable with regular glasses lenses (I think these artificial corneas would not be better). I had bad hayfever as a kid (and still do sometimes now) and rubbed my eyes a lot. I now think it's the most likely cause.

Don't let your kids rub their eyes!
To me that doesn't pass the smell test. In my state, they've just changed the thresholds. "New science is showing XYZ so in response counties can now eat at restaurants if their shits under 20"
how is that more dangerous than avoiding a lockdown claiming that public policy doesn't matter? In what ways is the economy killing people right now?
I feel like we're focused on the wrong axis. To me it is is less about authoritarian versus non-authoritarian as much as competent versus incompetent. Although in Wisconsin's case no credits were given to Foxconn (https://madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/foxconn...), the state did pursue a number of improvements to roads and infrastructure that were not appropriately tied to the agreements with Foxconn. The contract should have clearly required reimbursement (to the state, and by proxy, to affected citizens) if the project were to be canceled. The deal they had forged had bad return on investment and for it to break even would have required an enormous period of time (https://reason.com/2020/10/20/wisconsins-foxconn-boondoggle-...).

Compare this to NYC/NY State's now-cancelled but well structured deal for Amazon, where they stood to make a 9:1 return on investment, with only $505m in capital outlays for the public, and that itself was tied to a minimum $3b investment from Amazon, with projected new revenue of $28 billion for the city and state over 25 years (https://ny.curbed.com/2018/11/16/18098589/amazon-hq2-nyc-que...). NY gets a lot of flak for mismanagement on other fronts (for example transit infrastructure) but they were able to select the right incentives, terms, and conditions to create a highly favorable subsidy deal that wouldn't have left them high and dry if the company changed direction.

My conclusion from all this being - it doesn't make sense to demonize either subsidies or eminent domain or whatever else, as much as it does to just demand competence.
Maybe sponges would have been a better example than oysters.
While success and IQ are almost certainly correlated, it is not possible to make a statement like that.

I just read an article about quiet / dream jobs (park ranger etc.) In it, every single person has a side gig(s) or is otherwise making decisions on their careers based on medical coverage.

The idea that health care is tied to your employer, and your employment status, is so unacceptably broken. I've never heard of anything so broken in terms of the obvious social and economic harm a bad policy is creating. Having the freedom from health care costs is more freedom for more people than the "freedom" to not pay health insurance or taxes to cover it.
Github issues can be exported to csv [1] and they have an extensive and well documented API. [2]

So I'd say, GitHub isn't locked in as of now, they're quite open. But your definition is good, and it's probably a good idea to re-evaluate every now and then.

You might have to move. Not every place has enough people to make finding your people a tractable problem.

You might also need to lower your standards. Maybe there are “losers” around who actually are worth more of your time than you think. Sometimes this just means talking to someone who is older than you, or weird looking, or awkward. Your first “friend group” might be people a generation older than you. It happens. They can connect you back to people your own age eventually.

And lastly, just doing any old thing with any old people is fine. Volunteer. Go to a city council meeting. Do an exercise class. Those “pre-social” environments can become social quickly.

And remember to “hang back”. Don’t get out of there right away. Lonely people often hang around at the end of events. (But balance that with not being a creep about hanging around too long with people who are trying to close a space or go home)

But 2020 was a bad year for all of this. I don’t know how to do this stuff in a global pandemic. That’s another thread.
Not sure what that omitted portion would have clarified. Apache Arrow, at its core, is a memory model spec. Also, it appears that this project is using the official Rust library which is developed in the same repo as all the other language implementations. So the simple statement that they're using Apache Arrow seems adequate.
