Yes, an excellent authority, but it is still just an appeal to authority. The first one was the truly objectionable one.

I'm not saying that legalizing marijuana will solve all the legal systems problems, but it would remove a significant weight from an overburdened system. ~5% of prisoners alone is a lot of people, plus think of how many public defender hours are spent on these matters.

As a long term pot smoker, I was disappointed when weed was legalised in California because the price didn’t go down at all.

If you can grow at home it’s good. Otherwise it’s business as usual, with just a change of franchisee.

Apparently there is a big shortage for ABF (Ajinomoto build-up film) substrate, which is big part of PCB manufacturing (see for example https://www.hardwaretimes.com/ps5-supply-to-be-affected-by-a..., https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20201214PD202.html).

Big suppliers of ABF substrate includes multiple companies from Taiwan Unimicron, Kinsus Interconnect, and Nan Ya PCB, which all trade in the Taiwan stock market.

I considered investing in those companies...but seems like only Nan Ya has been showing an upward trend. Perhaps we are still early?
There is no point buying an EV if your apartment doesn’t have chargers for its tenant parking spots, or if you are relying on on street parking. That isn’t most of the market in the USA, though. It does make me wonder how EVs are rising in popularity in China, where wild parking of even high end cars is much more common.

They often go to where it is most optimal to commit a certain crime. For instance, a bank nearby was robbed this morning. It’s close to a freeway. Another example, a bunch of cars near the freeway had their catalytic converters taken out. Lastly, package thieves are quite common in my neighborhood (the packages are dropped off in front of doors visible from the street). In all these cases, the criminals case places from their cars. Also when the police do catch them, they are usually not residents of the city but often but not always live maybe 10-20 miles away.
I'm sensing a data/tracking play with a similar risk as Grammarly (they don't do this currently, but that doesn't mean they can't change their privacy policy tomorrow).
That is really interesting. I've got a GTX 1060 3GB that I purchased for $280, looks like I could reasonably sell it for $200CAD on ebay. $80 for 3 years of GPU usage wouldn't be a bad return.
> Every country should have its own X...to cover its own needs during shortages like these

This line of thinking gets very impractical very quickly. It's also a recipe for war because interdependence makes countries play well together.
I was going to post about as much the same. To add to this is how everything is deprecated so quickly now. I like to use my phones until they break or I am almost forced to. I am just not inclined to buy a new model every year. Same with my laptops, TVs etc. I have an old Sony Ericsson which I can tell they no longer want to support, the updates are coming much more slowly and I swear with each one they are slowing the performance of the device (but perhaps that is being paranoid), I have an old thinkpad which runs a rolling release style linux distribution and so I don't need to upgrade all the time and my TV is 720p / non smart which looks fine to me. I am honestly happy with this lot, but the manufactorers most likely see me as a bad customer.
I can see that. Gas at gas stations is more of a loss leader, the real profits are in alcohol and tobacco.

Yes, I love this „quick and dirty” interactive style within Spyder too, but switch to PyCharm when I need to refactor, work with larger project or test. Sometimes I'd switch multiple times per day for the same project, so having a more Spyder-like DS tool under development at JetBrains seems to be good news.

> though I will be waiting for an FDA-approved vaccine myself.

If it was July, and this post popped up, heck even November pre-US election when we were told the vaccine was months away, would that change the equation?

I feel like there are two questions here:

1. is this safe? If so, how safe?

2. Is it worth trying?

Question 1 is quantitative and verifiable, whereas question 2 is one of risk preference.
It is only used in ~80% of some of the most valuable targets on the internet, the servers, and it is only by far the most used operating system with more than 50% compared to the huge target that is the ~15% that is Windows.

> Like carpentry, electrician, construction, plumbing?

Yes, there should be more of an emphasis on the skilled trades but I don’t think it’s an either/or. I think most of the objections to one approach over the other are answered by having a range of options for inmates based on interest and aptitude. Tech would just be one option. There is enormous human potential for good going to waste in our prisons. There is no silver bullet, including efforts like this, but every ex-con given a real chance is a victory.

The advantage is lower induced drag during cruise. You do analysis to validate controllability during high-AoA regimes. As with every design choice in aviation, it's a tradeoff.

Perhaps another unpopular opinion, but you don’t even have to be a good programmer to make what most people would consider decent money. Is this the same for any trades?

Many developers prefer matte screens because it makes text easier to read and puts less stress on the eyes. Many designers and gamers on the other hand prefer glossy screens as they look more vivid.

As a developer, I could not use a glossy screen for the life of me. Thankfully there are many laptops with matte screen. I keep an up to date collection of them on Product Chart:

Unless we discover a type of glass that lets light pass in only one direction, this divide between matte and glossy screens will probably continue up to the day we all wear VR headsets.
It’s terrible I agree. At the same time I wonder: does the UI then really matter for success? Uber seems to be fairly successfully with a terrible UI.

Sour milk is not worth very much but it then becomes yogurt and cheese which are much more expensive. So I guess your analogy still holds? ;)
Well yeah. We don’t want drunk people taking care of kids either. That’s pretty standard.
And that's the important part. It's not enough to legalize it when it was all fear and racial panic driving it's prohibition, we also have to repair those whose lives were broken by the prohibition. Automatic expungement will go far and should be the blueprint for any states looking to follow.

From what I gather from my sources that are involved in the procurement side, it sounds like there is a general shortage that is affecting certain chips more than others. Say you are using a chip where there are only a handful of customers, then companies aren't going to make your part as they have other higher runner chips they can run instead.

You seem worried with your multiple posts. You really should ask a doctor.
Rough comments here... I admire the spirit of DIY in his project. He asked for and received good data, consumed the process and risk, and proceeded. He wasn't trying to save the world, he took a calculated risk on himself, and wrote a blog post about it. I'm most happy to have the process demystified for me. I don't think the world would be a better place if more people made their own vaccines unless there was some ubiquitous, reliable material testing procedure that we can't imagine yet. I do think I'd like a person like that to be my neighbor if society were to collapse, or maybe in general that would just be a good time.
>I am the last person to ask for a citation, but you are responding to a comment which provided one, so your lack thereof does hurt your credibility.

I don't think I need a citation to show that those sources are terrible. I never claimed to know how many people are actually locked up.
Plenty of others have said it, but to add to the concern - great site and easy to use but you are going to make yourself a target for spammers and scammers if you don't at least have a plan now:
Key word flagging
Ip restrictions
Rate limiting
Etc

You don't need to build these things today, but you need a backlog of clear plans or at least plans for investigation, and some sort of tech in place now to warn you of potential risks (very popular pages, loads of use from one Ip, etc etc)

Fabs already run 24/7. Decentralizing them across more countries wouldn't automatically give you any spare capacity.

As far as I see it, we need more capacity, and for a situation like this it wouldn't matter if that extra capacity was in 50 different countries or if it was all in a 50 km radius in Taiwan.

Where I live (outside the US), virtually no company ever tests for drugs...

Even in the US, a lot of large companies do not test for drugs. This is not to take a cheap jab at banks, but I personally know some investment bankers in NYC, and if some in their group were seriously drug tested they’d probably break the test machines...

... And "640K is enough for everyone".

I believe they are all instances of induced demand [1]: If you allocate a large pool of a given resource, you tend to use it more liberally, and in the end the consumption rate is about the same regardless of the size of your pool.

It's interesting to note that apparently people prefer to reconsider some wasteful uses of the IP address pool rather than switching to IPv6.

That's the story of our societies. Waste the cheap stuff until it becomes too expensive.

Yeah this doesn't give me a lot of confidence in doctors in US. I had friends in ER and the doctor was "trying" different medicines to see what worked. Then wanted to charge $2K for a signature. I don't really know what the people droning about US healthcare being the best in the world are about.

I don't buy the advantage of adding charging networks to existing gas stations being cheaper.

For one, it'll probably cost the same as for existing retail stores to install charging points. But all existing retail stores have the extra benefit of saving you time while you shop, do laundry, get your hair done, etc.

Oh, my gosh. I got noise canceling headphones SPECIFICALLY for my kids - only to learn they block low sounds, but not high pitched screaming.
My construction experience was mostly moving heavy crap from one pile to another pile, so I can't really judge the relative skill of individual electricians or plumbers.

However, an unskilled or sloppy electrician will have a pretty low life expectancy.

Edit:

Sorry. That might have seemed snarky.

Most of these jobs have pretty strict licensing and certification requirements. An improperly wired or plumbed house is pretty dangerous, so a lot of effort is put into making sure that does not happen. I think the unskilled electricians would be filtered out earlier in their training.
Basically that you can have a notebook-like workflow, without the cumbersome interface or unpredictable statefulness. And when you need to wrap it up for batch jobs, you can basically leave the code as is, since it can just take the widget default values in headless mode.

Okay, so maybe a variable viewer isn’t a bad thing. I just know from personal experience that people get in the habit of scrolling through large arrays, instead of learning numpy’s slicing and shape concepts, or functions that detect e.g. the index of NaNs... I think that was mainly my point.

I don't understand this article. People with money want to do stuff with that money. Somehow the thesis is that people should intervene? Where does that stop? Should VC investment be subject to democratic vote? Perhaps we should first get good at demanding how our own tax dollars are being spent before making demands on how folks ought to spend their personal fortunes.
OK, so basically once you get reduced to poverty you get some care. Does medicare give you good quality care?

Someone I know recently had cancer in Australia, they are wealthy but don't have private health insurance: so they went through the public system. It seemed like they got care that was just as good to be honest. Just not a private room.
> If it works, that will be a massively important result. If not, it won't be surprising, but _at least he will have tried_. I for one think the expected value leans overwhelmingly in favor of at least one person actually trying.

It won't be an important result, at all.

Vaccines are tested on the thousands, one person having a positive response isn't interesting at all, especially when you already have effective vaccines rolling out globally.

I don't think they can control this. Electricity is available everywhere, and there will be plenty of competition for charging spots in malls, restaurants, 7-11s, and all kinds of places that could benefit from business during a charging session.

I wouldn't be surprised if the gas stations make as much from the convenience store angle as the gas. And with charging stations, which slow things down, people have time on their hands - they can't pump and leave.
