Property crimes typically have a 10-20% clearance rate. Police are too preoccupied writing traffic tickets and/or harassing poor people. If anything, reported property crimes track against unemployment/economic prosperity-- probably much stronger than police payroll.

The FBI's UCR is even more accessible at https://crime-data-explorer.app.cloud.gov/ -- where you can look at crime rates, clearance rates, types of crime all the way down to the municipality level.

"In the meantime, most nuclear power plants in the United States have resorted to the indefinite on-site dry cask storage of waste in steel and concrete casks.[14]"

Our local region just fought to shut down a plant, and now the fight continues on where to ship (or not) the waste. In the meantime of course, they're fighting over these short term store options which have guarantees of only 25 years.

Reminds me of the time I naively did "net send *" to send messages to a coworker such as "What's up dog?" at a US Air Force base hospital (I was summer hire working in the warehouse). My coworker got a kick out of it, but apparently every computer in the entire hospital was on the same domain and two frantic IT NCOs came bursting into the warehouse trying to figure out who was sending the messages. Apparently the group commander's computer was getting them too...

In my experience Compilation speed is an excellent bikeshed that lots of developers complain about if they're evaluating a language. It's an easy thing to say "Well the compilation speed" as a reason to discount a language, but in reality Compilation speed (barring like, truly incredible times for basic things) is a simple Pro/Con in a massive sea of pros and cons.

The question needs to be asked how new power plants that have to cope with much higher building costs can be more cost-efficient than already existing ones. It’s not like that nuclear has any cost-cutting progress like wind and photovoltaics still have.
I remember a Digikey catalogue c.2002? where it seemed like blue LEDs were the star of the show. Page after page of this new wonder. And then the following decade-long flood of blue-LED-festooned consumer products, where every new bit of kit needed to visually proclaim how new-fangled it was by blasting out that particularly shrill wavelength of visible light.

I'm a convert. I was anti-nuclear power, now I am pro with a boatload of caveats.

As a person who changed their mind, let me offer this advice to the people commenting here. Don't pretend there aren't legitimate concerns with nuclear power. Accidents did in fact happen and, given enough time and more reactors, will absolutely happen again. That's not a reason not to build more nuclear power, but let's not play make-believe about it. Don't pretend that just because we are better at handling nuclear waste it is a solved problem. It isn't. A hundred-fold increase in nuclear power generation would be a roughly hundred-fold increase in nuclear waste that must be stored away from all life for several hundred years (until we develop technology to resolve the issue, likely long after we're all dead). And maybe most importantly, acknowledge that nuclear energy is far more expensive than other green energy options and, even if we could drive down the cost, it will not solve all our problems. It is, at best, a big part of the solution, not "the" solution.
What's surprising is dragooning people out of a park for the "crime" of simply gathering in one. There is no science that indicates outdoor gatherings are a major driver of Covid spread -- hell even The Atlantic acknowledges this.
I don't agree with you and most experts don't either. Storage is a solved problem. Nuclear is a solved probem. Energy storage on the scale of 1 week+ in cases of blizzards, and other freak weather events which are only going to get worse over the next century is not viable. Nuclear is here and it's safe and it's dependable and it might be the only way to save our planet (or at least us humans, the planet would do just fine without us).
In my experience, over the past 2 years there's been quite a good speed up in compile times in Rust, but that's just for my case on an older laptop. On my desktop, there's never been an issue.

Long compile times suck, but Crystal and Rust have never put me off because of that. I can wait another few seconds.
Does this work for most people? I’d assume it was just my slightly out of date version of the weird browser Palemoon that makes it throw “SyntaxError: missing declaration after 'import' keyword” and stay blank white (https://ibb.co/Bj2HHxH) for me, but a dead comment just claimed it’s broken on both macOS and iOS Safari, and Chrome.
A very concrete example, from the federal level:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marihuana_Tax_Act_of_1937

> Shortly after the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act went into effect on October 1, 1937, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Denver City police arrested Moses Baca for possession and Samuel Caldwell for dealing. Baca and Caldwell's arrest made them the first marijuana convictions under U.S. federal law for not paying the marijuana tax.

> In 1969 in Leary v. United States, part of the Act was ruled to be unconstitutional as a violation of the Fifth Amendment, since a person seeking the tax stamp would have to incriminate him/herself

Some states still have drug tax stamp laws enacted today.

If people were locked down, how were they getting infected? The simple answer would be that they weren't actually following lockdown orders. That's the nice thing about the lockdown; if you actually do it it's impossible for it to fail. It's 100% effective.

Somehow, the fact that people did not observe the lockdown is being used as a cudgel and a justification for states that did not. We have no way of knowing if it would have been better in California without a lockdown, do we? Because California is not Florida or any other state in the Union. Their situation is unique.

Feels like this "joke" would backfire in any country.
The one thing that drives me mad about the tendency to make everything a felony is the inverse feedback loop that has on voter representation. I can agree that at some level there may be a working as intended aspect to it, but considering the reality that the entire country found it's birth in "being taxed without being represented", it doesalways strike me as a bit hypocritical that everywhere in the US or State Codes, there's crimes thatdisqualify you from voting strewn all about as soon as somebody gets a hair, and spends enough time lobbying to get a representative to make a carve out.

Be interesting to do a statistical analysis on court records and try to simulate or model how disenfranchisement of the convicted would have skewed the outcomes of elections.

It'd be little more than an alternate history theorycraft; but it'd certainly make for an interesting read.
An inside trader in the UK was also shown to be exchanging information with Bloomberg News's reporters:

https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/the-mystery-millionaire-who-haun...

What's not being said here is that for the trader to have timed his bets so precisely, the reporter would have had to tell him when the story was coming out.

The anonymous sources on Bloomberg M&A scoops all have insider information one way or the other (think "provider of professional services in the deal space"), otherwise they would have nothing to say. While many of them are not stupid enough to trade on that information, nearly all of them get some kind of benefit from it, usually in the form of two-way information exchange with the reporter. Since they work on deals, they want to know about deals, because their livelihoods depend on deal flow.

VCs know this dynamic well, but they are far less regulated, because they primarily work with private companies, not public ones.
> "If the system is equal, why is there a wealth gap between black people and white people?"

A perfectly logical and unbiased reason for this could be that it takes time to equalize (a lot of wealth is passed on between generations). Just because "discrimination" and other things ended, doesn't mean the next generation magically does the same as other groups. And this has nothing to do with racism in the present.
You can, but why would you? Buying into the accounting-uber-alles paradigm only makes sense for business that can actually benefit by deducting the depreciation. Individual taxpayers get no such benefit, and therefore have no need to depreciate items. And without depreciation, yard sales consist chiefly of capital losses.
I once had pneumonia, early 30s. It took months to feel 100% again. Its just your lungs get damaged, and takes time to heal. But if you have other health problems, its a spiral. One bad thing leads to the next. Hence, I feel that life is like a bumpy pothole filled road. For the most part, if you get past one, you will keep rolling down. The key is to avoid the big potholes. Some people in terrible physical shape get lucky, and missed a few. When reality is anyone of those previous ones could have taken them out. I learned this on a road from the airport to a hotel in Dominican Republic.

I've been an owner since late 2016--a mutual friend let me know Luke was interested in selling and I had been a customer for many years at that point. I liked the service and wanted it to continue. Still do.

Today's announcement is my purchasing the remainder of the company. The Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy, and related documents will not be substantively changing.

The comment about diverging ideas and priorities relates to feature development and the product roadmap. Over the years we've received customer requests, suggestions, and feedback that on the one hand have a clear central tendency, but on the other requires difficult choices about where to focus and when. It's a situation better suited to the now simpler ownership structure.

I hope you will continue to recommend Prgmr where you find it appropriate to do so. Details about new features will need to wait for a formal announcement--but I'm happy to answer questions or concerns given that constraint.

Except the cost of deploying, integrating into their authentication system, and maintaining. In 10-15 years a self-hosted solution by a non-IT-centric organization will probably end up in the same situation as their current solution.

The US government needs to get better at distributing IT knowledge, capabilities, and services across its numerous agencies instead of having them each (and their subcomponents) act like their own small businesses with little effort on cross-cutting support and capabilities.

A couple months back, I was surpised to see that the radar site's old Windows98-refugee map was gone ... replaced by a slithering mess of SVC-looking intentions gone AI.

It's a design pattern that has it's uses. I've written plenty of code which goes through many precondition checks and has to throw appropriate errors or perform in-line fixups in the happy path, and this is the canonical way such things should be structured.

But as soon as the branching paths start splitting up and having different side effects or return different non-bailing conditions; then yeah, I'd quickly abandon that pattern.
