yes. beyond tracking there is also a spy app on your phone that can likely access personal data.

So, a separate device would save your from that part, at least.
Also not everyone can be good looking, a great singer or a professional basketball player.
But you are right communism solves all equality problems by making everybody (except a few select and their families) miserly poor, prevents people (again except a select few) with talent to stand out and kills everyone else who is too unhappy with how things are.

Reversing a binary tree isn't some crazy algorithmic knowledge. I'm concerned that so many people here think it is. What's gone wrong that makes people think reversing a binary tree is up there with hand-coding machine learning techniques?

Reversing a binary tree is a basic test of whether you can implement a trivial requirement given a spec. How is that not related to what you do every day on the job? You get a lot of requirements, most of which are trivial tasks needed to maintain compatibility with some broken external system that will never get fixed. The solutions are two to five lines of code, once you've taken the time to understand the requirements properly - just like reversing a binary tree.

This is neither a task that needs to be studied for nor an unfair pop quiz. It's an easier version of fizzbuzz. (You don't even need to worry about gotchas like getting case ordering wrong the way you do in fizzbuzz.) All it checks is that you have the basic skills necessary for reading and comprehending requirements and then meeting them with trivial code.

If you can't do that, what should an interviewer conclude about your capacity to do the job?

I think you might be misinterpreting that as "Rust introduced these things" rather than "I learned about these things from Rust".
They're right, Biden win in the elections was an indication of success of their sabotage campaigns, trying to divide us.

America is getting weak.
I'd agree with you if it actually helped artists find their artistic stride - there is definitely artistic merit in forced constraints. But it doesn't; it forces them to commercialise to pay rent. To make what is commercially appealing (or appealing to a patron) rather than what they actually want to make.

And I totally agree with the argument that commercial appeal == value, and artists don't automatically deserve a living. The whole "Spotify should pay us more because we can't live on what they pay us" argument leaves me cold. But I think that's a different discussion. If you are going to force artists to commercialise then that argument applies, and artists must adapt their art to commercial reality, or starve, like everyone else. However that's not the same discussion as "if we paid everyone a basic income, I wonder what amazing art would be created?". Different starting premise.
Majority of People Say They Never Found a Good Workout Routine During Pandemic
It depends where you want to set the goalposts for a major phenomenon. Linus moved to the US in 1997 to work for Transmeta, while Linux hit 1.0 in 1994, and Red Hat got its start in 1993. The dot com boom was in full swing in 1999 when Red Hat went public. The rise of Linux really does parallel the rise of the public internet, which first became public in 1994.
This is so cool! I am very excited to give it a proper go!
Not an expert in but one of those expert drug regulators is my friend.

1 per million adverse effects is nothing. If that would be a solid fact, there would be no reason to pause vaccinations. The pause happens very early so that experts have time to check the data and methodology and verify that it's all that there is.

When a new drug is given for emergency evaluation or a new side effect is discovered he works 14 hours per day 7 days a week with a team going through a massive amount of data and documentation to verify and check everything.

The media and most commentators don't understand why decisions can take weeks. Why you don't have the scheduled emergency approval meeting just now. They fail to understand that fact-finding is not happening in the meeting just by people giving their expert opinions. Experts work around the clock without taking any time off to figure out what is happening. But lazy bureaucratic regulators, right?
I have a NFC app on my phone, read one of those buttons ... they left it unlocked, so I posted a message. Not sure anyone will read it, presumably they just pick up the location ID in an app. I guess someone could just clone the locations and sit in a chair and spoof it.

Library books in my area use NFC, the tags weren't locked on the last book I checked.

Probably not a security problem (ha!?), but you'd think the possibility of vandalism would cause them to be locked.
China promotes a monolithic Chinese identity above race and class. That's why they are called an ethnostate. It's the anti multiculturalism and it seems to be working for them for the most part. Despite the awful nazi grade stuff going on in some parts.
Renter here. I have yet to find a person who pays a lower mortgage then I pay renting. Renting also goes up every year with little ability of the renter to arrest that increase.
In my experience the renter is usually paying the full cost of the mortgage, plus a little to the landlord. The landlord has no savings or interest in improving or fixing anything past the bare minimum.
have we found the reason the west may be in irreversible decline?
It's very hard to disagree IMO. The west is in decline and unless something catastrophic happens in PRC or war breaks out (also pretty catastrophic) I can't see any future where the PRC isn't going to at least become on par with the US soon but most likely it will succeed it as top dog. The only question in my mind is where do the EU end up in all this and if Russia will become closer with PRC or EU.

IMO the biggest failure in all this is that the opposition to PRC's rise is the same old as we have seen before and it's very clear that it will fail. As an outsider to both the US and PRC it looks to me like the US does all it can to shoot itself in the foot continually for whatever reason while PRC is playing on a totally different level. Maybe because US policy are mostly only until next election?

>if the worker didn't do the job the contractee would complain, a new crew would be assigned, and the old crew may get fired or sent to a different site.

Yes, that's normally how this works. And that's how this works at the low end.

But when you're the custodial/landscaping/whatever body shop for a school/highfalutin office park/etc. your value ad is in the image. These types of body shops do all sorts of stupid things to basically broadcast the image that they hire the good poors and not the dirty poors. E.g. they'll hand out uniforms with collars, only hire people who speak English and are free of tattoos, etc. etc.

This tracking app BS is just a way for them to add "look, we're accountable, you can track your contractors with an app" to their website so that some Karen with the company card is more likely to call them up and buy their services.

It's not about getting the job done more efficiently. It's about projecting an image to the customer.
One argument could be that on some zero sum games, wealth inequalities create material inequalities.
An exemple is real estate. Major measures can be confort vs. business advantage: a large house in the middle of nowhere v. a small apartment in a 1-tier city. The wealthier you are, the more of a somewhat fixed quantity of space in a 1-st tier city you can have. It reduces the space available to less wealthier people, may decrease their confort and therefore their productivity.
I'm not sure working on wealth inequalities is the best way to work on that, but wanted to make the point that it can be seen as the root cause of certain problems, given the rules we have chosen to attribute certain ressources.
Some hash functions do this, e.g. bcrypt and scrypt. Theoretically, their output is no more secure than faster algorithms like SHA; but it's less practical to brute-force lots of guesses.

Hashcash (as found in Bitcoin) is another example, albeit more egregious.
We're living in the golden age of pajamas
I think there should be an investigational period to see if there's an actual issue first. In software, we'd call it "responsible disclosure".

The goal is to avoid this sort of consequence:

https://www.fiercepharma.com/marketing/yougov-poll-finds-dis...

> The skepticism shows no sign of slowing, YouGov reports. While trust for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines rose in all country surveys between December and March, trust for the AZ vaccine slipped in Germany over that span. By early March, 40% said the AZ vaccine was unsafe, an increase of 10% since its earlier December poll.

> The result? Anecdotal reports in Germany and across Europe of people refusing the AZ vaccine and supplies sitting unused in warehouse, YouGov reported—real-world evidence of “the extent of the damage done to the perceived safety of AstraZeneca vaccine.”

https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2021/03/22/increasi...

> The AstraZeneca jab, which is cheaper to produce and easier to store and distribute than the vaccines currently being administered across Europe from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, was meant to be a workhorse of the continent’s vaccination drive. That plan could be in trouble, however, if citizens across Europe continue to believe that the AstraZeneca vaccine is unsafe and, as a result, refuse to bare their arms for it.
With all of articles like this, I am puzzled how correct is this? Is it possible that China isn't really betting but only the Economist that think so?
I mean Biden admin use the word 'China' to accelerate his wishes (infrastructure, stimulus and so on).
Likability doesn't have to mean they will be your best friend. It can just mean they aren't a colossal jerk. I would probably call anyone who is considerate & constructive "likeable".
You chose to use societal infrastructure to make money through the finance system (backed up by the legal system) and then complain because you hadn't researched that it came at the cost of your privacy.
I don't have first-hand experience, but I know people who do. Every single person I've spoken to who has had an issue with drugs has said that methamphetamine is "different."

But of course that's not scientific. I'm not sure how many reliable studies have been done. It could be a result of the potency of street meth rather than the chemical.
Reading between the lines: Western Intelligence agencies are gearing up for a war with Russia.
YMMV but after 3-4 weeks of dvorak, I actually did have difficulties when using qwerty. I gave up dvorak because I don't want to have to modify every keyboard/system I'm on, as opposed to just sitting down at a terminal and getting work done.
>extreme racism, homophobia, and other forms of bigotry won't be a winning recipe

Have you read the news about the "west" lately? US politics and Brexit are two biggies that seem to fall in line with this.
> We DO choose how to act, like engaging in public speaking or not, showing up to court/convention poorly dressed or barefoot, or being rude to people and so on.

Hey, you solved Asperger, depression, and all mental issues. Quick, someone give this guy a Nobel prize!
I'd like to believe in Santa Claus. I'd say both of us have roughly the same odds of getting what we want.
> Your population never went through it

We have the largest quantity of immigrants in our country than anywhere else in the world. 50+ million immigrants that all bring their varied experiences and war is a part of many of their stories.
Our current rules are what was done. You're the one advocating for more cautious rules because you consider 1 in a million side effects too great a cost compared to the cost of non vaccinated covid
But not using German makes your German worse.
No confusion. Smaller? Less expensive? More convenient? Many of them two, or all three.

Keep in mind, per the original article, some of these are biz / enterprise driven. An SSD might cost more up front but over its lifetime, it saves money. That increase in demand lowers prices, to the point that they are consumer friendly.

I think most are discounting how often ppl still bring their work tech into their home.
Doctors are still time constrained so that one seems like a poor example.
Do you tend to have emotional responses to the behaviors of others, or do negative behaviors roll off your back (like so much water off a duck's feathers)?

Most people feel bad when people act like assholes. Feeling bad enough, frequently enough, is cause for changing jobs for most people.

I'm confused by "you're not really a business". Are you the business owner at most of your jobs? Or do you tend to identify with the business you work for, sort of letting your ego merge with that of the organization during working hours?

I think saying "you're at a social club, too", is not a right way to frame it. A place of business is by definition a place where people are doing things together: business is social. Most people want to do social activities with people they can at least tolerate if not enjoy being around.

Now, if you are not of such a psychological make up that it really matters to you who you spend the majority of your waking time around, and you're able to compartmentalize strongly, then, it makes sense why you would be in the minority on this subject.

I think it could be important for you to realize that this is not really a matter of opinion in the sense of "a perspective on things that can be changed by experience or new information". This is really about folks' fundamental psychological make up.
We are declining because we are becoming more like China. More censorship, larger control of central government, currency manipulation. I actually see this as inevitable as you get a larger and larger population freedoms need to get reduced to maintain a stable society.
I’ve met people who lost their native language for another one (Portuguese —> Italian).

So maybe GP was that good
The AutoHotkey Script I use on Windows works very well in almost all applications. But in IntelliJ on Windows (not in Linux) it happens multiple times per hour that Shift, Ctrl or Alt locks get engaged (which I didn't know even existed) or that the Script reverts to Qwerty without warning. Restarting the script helps, but it's so annoying that I consider running IntelliJ with an external JRE.
I'm not really looking for reasons to wipe out colonies, I'm thinking about reasons for introducing them.

For example, can they be beneficial in reversing desertification? Do they help plants by somehow bringing them nutrients?

I'm very curious as I'm certain they have huge benefits, I'm just not sure exactly what they are ...
I've taken both and I think they are basically indistinguishable (besides strength per dose and maybe duration). So there is a counterpoint for you.
We use DE in our chicken coops as a treatment against mites.
> I can imagine many people [...] are at a disadvantage

Yes, power differentials matter a lot. I have quit a job over things I considered overly intrusive, but a lot of people don't have that freedom.

For that matter, I now keep a separate work phone. My employer doesn't require anything I object to, but just keeping all work apps off my phone was one consideration when I got it. But that's a big expense for a lot of people.
If you mean hobbyists, then probably yes. But there are whole industries who use embedded C as the defacto standard, such as automotive.
It bothers me the ignorance of people who immediately think that having a union means "I'm going to get what I want."

No. You're going to get what the union wants.

People complain endlessly about HOAs and their behavior. Being in a union is the same shit!

By the way, in my professional adult life, there has never been a situation where there was something reasonable that I wanted in my employment contract and didn't get it. Just ask!
I wonder how many people out there want unions and are also the kinds of people who don't ask for things they need.

And if you want to use unions to get you things that are _unreasonable_ that's bad for everyone.
Yes, because Trump was totally strong against other countries. He was a useless little bitch against China, Russia, North Korea, and anyone else willing to pay him a couple dollars to walk all over America.
Thing is, i read maybe 10-20 different news sites, not to mention the plethora of other sites with curated and written content.

No normal person can afford to maintain that number of subscriptions.

I wonder what a fair price for a article that gets 20-30k views would be, not to mention 2-300k. The price per view should be so low that some kind of crypto payment could work.

A browser plugin with a crypto solution that autopays for content on newssites you'd preapproved or something - and you would be able to pay as you go on the web.
Cigarettes are legal yet many Western countries have been successful at driving down their use.
But is it really a side effect? If 6 people vaccinated are hit by a car, is that included as a side effect?

Are those side effects lists just a catch it all sort of exception where they throw anything there just in case? Honest question.
After 14k words I think I've come to the TL;DR at the end: "I am irrationally effusive about Rust."
I could touchtype like crazy on qwerty before. It's possible because I learned dvorak when I was older - early 40s - I only have space in my brain for a single layout now..
Please link results of the study that supports your statements of mortality among young people. In USA alone more than 10k young people died from COVID so far. JJ vaccine has one potentially linked death after 6 million doses.
When I was around 12 I learned Dvorak and lost the ability to touch type in Qwerty, then my parents forced me to go back to Qwerty because I kept leaving the family computers in Dvorak. Because of that I can type in both, though my Dvorak is still faster.
I see you've been rightly downvoted. In the US, landlords also hold little risk, especially if they are corporate. Renters are stuck by leases and in many states, have little recourse to do anything when the property goes bad and the landlord won't fix things.
Founder of Sunsama here. Just wanted to chime in to say that we've basically rebuilt the product from the ground up over the past 6 months to make sure things are fast and reliable.
I’m pretty certain that “speech” means expression of ideas, not the audible act of speaking. So making a threat is not covered in the same way that perjury isn’t covered.

I switched to Colemak in September (2020) and have been using it solely ever since. I started at 110 WPM QWERTY and am currently at 85 WPM Colemak.
How different do you think it would have played out if the person was rich?
I think this is an illustration of an issue that has been seen throughout the entire pandemic. Medicine != Public Health Policy. In general, I would say medicine is too dogmatic to decide on public policy, and public policy is too loose to operate medicine.
A janitor certainly could clock in then sit around in the custodial storage area doing nothing. They could also clock in and wonder around the building doing nothing. If the concern is really whether they are doing their job, management can easily verify by just checking whether the job was done.

It seems their IPOitis is progressing rapidly, Doctor. I fear there is nothing we can do to help them
What indications are you seeing of this?
Legalization is one key part; destigmatization is the other.

Those who understand addiction, either first-hand or through research, understand that the root problem is not the drug/habit; the drug/habit tends to be the addict's best known way to sooth immense psychological pain. Shame drives addiction in deeper. So to actually help addicts, one needs to destigmatize the conversation, allow people to say "Hey, I'm in a bad place and I need help" with minimal fear of being judged (the addict tends to already hate their self pretty profoundly). And given how human nature works, destigmatization depends on legality.

Stopping addiction isn't about judging addicts; it's about understanding the root cause of their problem (which tends to be intense emotional trauma) and giving them empathic help to start building healthy relationships.
Ok, you get a pass. I'm generalizing from myself of course.
your browser downloaded the entire article but there are elements that are being loaded obscuring the text. remove those elements client-side.
If you post paywalled articles we get a paywalled internet. Stop posting them.
I have to agree with the other poster. My typing speed was in the 70+ WPM on qwerty prior to learning dvorak, and now I'm a glorified hunt-and-pecker on qwerty keyboards.

The only exception to this is typing on my mobile device, which is configured to qwerty.
That's ridiculous.China is the one in irreversible decline.

Most people in the West get to enjoy freedom and access to utilities money cant buy in China.

1) For once most people in the west have access to safe and good tap water.Chinese urban dwellers dont.

2) Most people in the west live in places with significantly better air quality than chinese.

3) Most people in the west get to enjoy freedoms chinese cant even talk about

4) West is attracting young people from all around the world.

Chinese middle class will demand the same standard of living like people in the West and CCP will be unable to give it to them.
They are probably not wrong. When you look at the infighting within the US that is front page news every day...the decline is in full swing. People care less about how to actually improve the country than they do about trying to hold entire professions accountable for the actions of a few (not just cops)...then we are focused on the wrong things. Spending hundreds of days protesting something instead of putting that time toward actually cleaning up neighborhoods or tutoring underprivileged youth and it's all a waste. Defund the police...just emboldened the criminals and caused more death than anything the police have done. 17 people have been killed by Police in Portland between 2013 and 2020...so far in 2021 there have been more homicides in Portland than there were in 2017 and 2018 and we are on track for over 100 homicides this year.

The US became a super power in the last 200 years...and the focus should be maintaining our competitive edge and working where there will be benefit.
I know people that work IT for schneider national trucking... they have a antenna on the roof that tracks drivers. It's very common for drivers to put a coffee can over it, and blame IT that it doesn't work.
"ITS GAZE fixed on the prize of becoming rich and strong, China has spent the past 40 years as a risk-averse bully. Quick to inflict pain on smaller powers, it has been more cautious around any country capable of punching back."

The same could be said about the United States' behavior on the international scene these past decades.
