That looks like another full-scale ERD generator, with much more detailed structural information too. Those make useful references, but what I'm trying to reach is a way of understanding parts of a relationship graph better and more quickly by navigating it from the inside with the terminal as a REPL of sorts (or, if you like, a very limited "parser" as in interactive fiction or a MUD) instead of the holistic and potentially overwhelming birds-eye view of an ERD.
I looked up pricing of Truvada vs. Descovy through my insurance, and weirdly Truvada would be a $40 copay, yet Descovy is $0 as insurance covers the entire obscene amount ($~2200 for a 30 day supply).
I'm opposed to laws supporting unions in general. If workers want to voluntarily get together and agree to bargain collectively, that's great. That's really just individuals engaging in voluntary contracts.

The issue is the way unions work (or at least my understanding, correct me if wrong) is that in many places once a union has taken hold, they actually get the right to prevent a non-unionized worker for working. That's absolutely crazy to me (and evil, and inefficient).

Note: The above doesn't mean that Elon doesn't treat his workers like shit - he does. I wish people would see through the cult of personality with him, because so many workers have sustained injuries on the job or just burnt themselves out for someone who really doesn't care about them.

The thing with trying to save humanity from existential threats, is ethically speaking you can justify sacrificing as many actual humans for the cause as necessary.

But yeah, unions aren't the mechanism to fix that.

Thanks Adam! I know I come across as one of the biggest fans of paged.js, but it’s such an inspirational project!

The idea to polyfill the required functionality for CSS Print Rules is pure genius, as somebody who looked at all the alternatives. It’s a great example of thinking outside the box.

I would look for jobs in software companies who make stuff you want to learn to make, but for some parts of their products they also need these Docker/Scala/Kafka/etc. from your resume. If you are good at these things, they gonna pay you well i.e. enough to support a family. I think over time you’ll inevitably learn their lower-level stuff you have to integrate with. You can then change position within the company should you want to.
You have this backwards. It's mobile phone computers that have become less capable than even 30 year old normal computers in terms of UI and networking capabilities. This is understandable since a mobile phone is so small in volume and wireless, but it's true regardless.
The law doesn't do the first or second, only the third. Prohibition of some behavior associated with some state of being doesn't eliminate that state of being. It only makes it manifest in some other functionally equivalent way.

Trolling corporations is a form of asymmetrical warfare. The point is that the troll expands a few resources, to cause the corporation a disproportionate amount of inconvenience.

For example, calling in fake pizza orders. Very low-effort for the troll, yet high-yield rewards in trolling the pizza vendor.

On the other hand, expanding vastly more money and resources than will cost the corporation in question to neutralize the troll is not successful trolling, it is a failure.

This is not the same as creating a 97% antibody response.

This needs more clarity from someone with expertise in the field.

> Basically everywhere where you aren’t required by law to allow animals refuses them because making even the smallest voluntary accommodations for people is just something that doesn’t happen.

What about accommodations for people who are allergic to pets or have phobias about certain animals?

Real service animals are specific breeds that are known to be trainable, docile, and are less likely to cause allergic reactions. They're a compromise that allows people who have certain disabilities to have a way to live a more normal life that they would not otherwise have access to. We can't fix blindness and many other disabilities, but service animals can help with improving the quality of life of people who are disabled.

Pets aren't that though. They do provide companionship and enjoyment, but they're not necessary for providing assistance with basic needs like locomotion and navigation. They're not breeds that minimize the effects on people who have pet allergies, nor are they necessarily trained to behave properly in almost all situations.

When people are putting a "service animal" vest on their pets, bringing them where they would normally not be allowed, and they cause trouble, it makes life harder for people who actually do need service animals for fulfilling their basic needs.
Matlab is extremely expensive. Not just for a single license (thousands of dollars), but critical libraries you may need (Ex: database, GPU, AI, electrical engineering stuff...etc) seem to only be provided as paid add-ons known as "tool-boxes" that costs thousands each. In my experience, Python had all of that for free, and Mathematica had all of that as part of the base language (no tool-boxes) so you pay like $3k and get access to thousands of functions.
In this case, I don't think it would be legal even if it normally is.

Doing it in this case would be retaliation for a protected action. The National Labor Relations Act ensures the right to organize unions, and changing pay as a result of union-related activity would be illegal retaliation.

This is similar to how an at-will employee can be fired for any reason _except_ for a protected class, like their race / gender / religion, etc.

Downvoters have a duty to explain how they calculated their proposed minimum wage: i.e. what calculations you ran to show this proposal is welfare-maximizing at exactly 15$ or whatever, not 16$ or 50$.

Otherwise arguments for a minimum wage don't have to take into account the costs, which are things like "person with no experience can't be hired to get more experience" for N$/hour, N<minimum wage.

And since the arguments naturally sound more "caring" than "no minimum wage", the natural bias will be to favor them, and proposing minimum wages will be a popular action (which is what we observe).

There must be some upper limit below 50$/hour, right? What are the limiting factors that come into play there, and why don't they come into play at 15$/hour?

OK, I'm legitimately curious to know more. I do remember him talking about "making insulin as cheap as water" or something like that, but can you point me to the actual executive order or bill he was trying to pass that dealt with this issue of lowering the cost for prescriptions? A source about Biden overturning whatever it was would be great as well.

I don't preclude Trump from having actually done something meaningful, but a lot of what he does is vain and self-promoting, so I could easily see this being a case where he tried to put something into effect that looks good on the surface but doesn't actually accomplish anything, or doesn't accomplish it in a sustainable way and thus would need to be revoked to prevent prices going up in the long term.
Yes, this is referred to as Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and is a major focus of teaching in PreK and kindergarten.
Didn’t Trump pass some executive order clamping down on this very thing?

Isn't this ironic? The whole point of a union is collective bargaining power; individual employees do not have any bargaining power so how exactly is musk engaging in bargaining? With whom is he bargaining?

>but comparing it to "sexual favors" not only absolutely meaningless,

They're both examples of coercion by someone with power over a subordinate, they both involve trading your body (in the form of labor or sex) for money (or some sort of compensation), and they're both generally recognized as exploitative. These are three obvious features that make them analogous propositions.
Done it many times, never had a problem. You just need to be confident in your skill set.
I'm familiar with the difficulty of 'teaching' kindergarten - giving dozens of children an engaging environment at the same time is extremely difficult, and I have a great deal of respect for kindergarten 'teachers'. My wife is employed in a similar role (in a mixed-age setting).

You're conflating 'enabling development' with teaching. One of those things is important at age 5-6, and the other is not - it's difficult to stop children from learning things at that age. There are not 'skills' that need to be imparted before 1st grade, there are behavioral examples that need to be set in a social context.

You certainly seem certain.. if you study the topic at a bit more length that will go away.
“Threaten” is a highly charged word here, and it reveals the bias of those who use it.

> In 1910 the average Russian was an illiterate peasant

On the eve of World War I, Finland and Russia were on near parity in terms of GDP per capita. It's GDP per capita was only 12% higher than the rest of the Empire. By the end of the Soviet Union, Finland has nearly three times the GDP of the USSR.

If the Russian Revolution had installed a liberal democratic government (as it did in the case of Finland), Russia would most probably look like a Nordic country today.

I don't believe that it's either a consistent position or a practically effective tactic to say that I support the government when it does things I like, but not when it does things I dislike. I think I'm obligated to support the government when it enforces laws that are constitutional and supported by the people as determined by our representative system, even if I disagree strongly with the outcome. If I disagree so strongly that I feel like I can't support it, then my position should be that I believe the government itself is unjust, and it would be hypocritical and long-term ineffective for me to support an unjust government when it does just things, because that would make the government appear just and thus make it harder to replace the government with an actually just one.

If policies like the war on drugs and asset forfeiture are (as I suspect) not actually supported by the people, then my route is to convince my fellow voters that we should get rid of those laws/policies. Perhaps we should elect representatives who will do a better job of doing what we want; perhaps we should let our existing representatives know how we stand. My route is definitely not to support leaving those laws on the books as I cheer on the government failing to enforce those laws. That doesn't question the laws I don't like, that questions the entire notion of the rule of law. (In particular, one moral issue I have with both the war on drugs and asset forfeiture is the way that those laws lend themselves to selective enforcement - so it certainly does not help my cause for the government to happen not to enforce them today but to retain the option in the future!)

If they are supported by the people, but they're not constitutional, then I do not, in fact, support the government spending my tax revenues defending unconstitutional laws, and I attempt to vote for executives (presidents who appoint attorneys, district attorneys that I can vote for directly, etc.) who know better than to defend unconstitutional laws. And I do also monetarily support organizations that sue the government in court. In this particular case, as a sibling comment noted, it seems hard to believe that the NLRA violates the First Amendment and nobody's noticed in almost a century.

If a law is supported by the people and constitutional, then my only legitimate avenue is to try to change the people's minds - it's not legitimate for me to sidestep debate on the merits of the law and say "Oh, my poor tax dollars! How expensive enforcing this law would be!" (And asset forfeiture pays for itself, so it's not like that argument would even work.)
Um, yes? Same way that libel laws supersede first amendment rights. None of the rights in the constitution are absolute, especially when they conflict with each other
For someone such as yourself who clearly has some practical ability to write and understand code, Michael Sipser's Introduction to the Theory of Computation is an absolutely marvelous text to fill in gaps in theoretical Computing Science that may be missing from your education.

>Imagine if you could do things like instantly and precisely recall any Wikipedia article, any news story, any mathematical formula. Imagine if arithmetic goes from a skill you learn to a thing your brain does with 100% accuracy.

I don't think this will be that big of an advantage. I know the first 20 digits of PI off the top of my head, but if you ask me to do something with this information it will still take some time. Having to look up the first 20 digits online would probably be a small portion of that time.

You can have instant access to information, but processing can still take time. I think the arithmetic part is actually more interesting. Being able to look at a table of numbers and running a statistical analysis on it would be very useful.

At the same time though, I think all of this is way harder than we think. Look at programming via voice. The current best UI for it is still pretty lackluster.
It's going to get much worst before it gets better.
As per the siblings, the encoding for that would be 02 xx (also figure 1 in the paper).

As for delimiters, it's not so much that to use COBS you need the delimiter, but the causality usually goes the other way, i.e. you want to send packets over an unreliable stream where every symbol is valid data, so you use 00 as the packet delimiter, and encode the actual packets with COBS (so the encoded packets won't have zeros).

So in general you won't need to "flush" partial data, because the natural way to interface to this type of channel is to send whole packets. If you don't know in what state the channel is, you can always send out a 00 before the start of packet to make sure the previous packet gets terminated.

And usually the packets themselves will have some additional validation like CRC, so the previous incomplete packet will be ignored.
> (uh... except for 11x12 and 7x8, which are for some mystical reason impossible for some to remember).

My kid had a hard time with 7x8 until discovering the mnemonic that 56 = 7x8 (5, 6, 7, 8).

As for the 11 times tables, you can go all the way up to 18 if you know these two rules:

one-digit number x 11 is the one digit written twice (e.g. 6x11 = 66)

two-digit number x 11 is the two-digit number written again, but with the sum of the two digits written in between the original two digits (e.g. 11x12 = 132)

There is a more complicated rule for multiplying 11 by larger numbers, but most people don't know their 11 times tables past 10 or so anyway.
Internet stands for interconnected network, with the capital "I" signifying that it's "the" interconnected network.
> Any time someone attempts to use your SSN to identify themselves as you, you should be notified and your authorization should be required for that use to be allowed.

So now the government needs a way of contacting you. Suppose they have your address and phone number on file.

Then you lose your way a while and become homeless for two years. You can't afford a phone and no longer have the same address, and have lost your ID or it expired. You finally start to turn it around and go to open a bank account. The government contacts you how? How do they know it's you?

The answer is that it's a new account and you're not trying to prove anything about whether you're the same person who lived at the old address, so you shouldn't have to.

And once you have a bank account or a mortgage or such, you and the bank can arrange for any form(s) of authentication you like. It shouldn't have anything to do with the government, and it definitely shouldn't have anything to do with how you authenticate yourself to your job or your wireless carrier.
This totally makes me think of Bioshock, where a genetic template from a sea slug was used for therapies that effectively produced magical abilities. I suppose the game designers were probably aware of this or similar research?

Buddy, if malicious JS gets to run on your domain then it's game-over for security anyway. It can read and modify all of your HTML, read and modify all of your cookies, check the state of all your password fields. Change your passwords by editing and submitting forms.

"Infatuation" has a negative connotation.

Infrastructure is generally built and well-maintained when the country has lots of spare money. Like the US in the 1950s and 1960s. And like China today.

When countries get short of cash, they tend to let maintenance of infrastructure lapse.

It's roughly estimated that to fix the US's crumbling infrastructure it would cost about 2-3 trillion dollars. That's 2-3 trillion dollars that the US doesn't have easily to hand.
The problem with ARM platforms is that there is no hardware or firmware standard - something x86 machines have due to everyone cloning the IBM PC and then painstakingly ensuring compatibility to the original system built in 1981... so an OS for x86 can, in the worst case, rely on BIOS drivers to boot and then install its own drivers.

There were similar approaches in the workstation world, e.g. OpenFirmware (IEEE1275) for Sun SPARC and several PowerPC systems (including Macs, but most people didn't know this, I think). In OpenFirmware systems, firmware-level drivers were implemented in FORTH and could be used by any OS (the SunOS text console driver did this IIRC and was horribly slow...).

Some ARM systems used OpenFirmware (e.g. several StrongARM systems by DEC 20 years ago), but it was never widely used in ARM systems.

ARM missed the opportunity to define standards on levels above the CPU core - on ARM7 systems, there was not even a standard for interrupt controllers, on Cortex-M microcontrollers, there is a proliferation of incompatible peripherals. Sun (by design) and IBM compatibles (by accident) managed this vertical integration better.
