I right there with you when you talk about power imbalance, and although wealth and power are tightly linked, I think they can be discussed separately. I have no problem with the 1% having all the money as long as they are not using it to wield power and extracting rent from the rest of us.

I think there are issues with our Democracy and our Media, not with our Capitalism.

PS: if we wanted to, a democracy could simply make it illegal buy investment property insuring that everybody had somewhere to live. Freeing people from the burden of rent. The government could probably even provide mortgages "at cost" so that the bank leaches didn't take their pound of flesh too.

We could examine our society at large and free ourselves of rent seeking behavior.
Only for a few hours though, not 2 weeks+, and viruses don't mutate on a doorknob. Someone who got vaccine and falls in the ineffective category will likely not die but will be a spreader for a few weeks, with some nonzero probability of mutation, and that times 1/3 of the population that got the vaccine would give the virus a lot of opportunity to mutate.
I am a research scientist at a FAANG. The interview process we went through is much less demanding in the CS part, as the domain knowledge is the focus (yet we still struggle to find good candidates that pass). But I've noticed that those who passed the coding interviews (easy to medium leetcode style) write much more efficient, maintainable, and concise code for the algorithms, experiments and analysis they implement. This results in much higher productivity, even if they have to do more catch up on domain-specific knowledge.

The blog post mentions he works on "machine learning" projects, which in my experience benefits significantly from having leetcode-style algorithmic knowledge (assuming you are not just calling blackbox.infer() all day).
I went to the emergency room for earth shattering headaches (no history of headaches like this) after getting the J&J vaccine last week. I mentioned I’d got the vaccine and asked if it was possible the two were linked. The doctor did everything but actually roll his eyes and thought that the headache being caused by the vaccine was ridiculous.

I bet if I went today he wouldn’t be so dismissive.
What you describe seems to be term called "relative poverty" which is contrastable with "absolute poverty", which I just learned about recently.

What I read recently made the case for "relative poverty" being more psychologically damaging than "absolute poverty". e.g. if everyone one in your society is the same poor then it isn't as bad as being poor in a society of wealth. This made a lot of sense to me as I tasted relative poverty a few times, and there seemed to be a feeling of shame around it. Not that anyone tried to shame the (relatively) poor but it just felt shameful. I never wanted to invite my millionaire family classmates over to my tiny, run down house for example, as it was too embarrassing. I eventually moved back to a place where we had similar levels of income and there was only a single millionaire and it felt a lot better.
For me, the 'reverse a binary tree' question goes back to the creator of Homebrew being rejected from Google for not being able to answer that question:

Chrome Zero-Day Exploit Posted on Twitter
I'm charging my Darter Pro over USBC-PD right now. It works perfectly except for when applying firmware updates which check to see if the charging cable is connected, and that might be expected if the firmware update would interrupt the PD charging.
Maybe because there are way more JS frameworks than runtimes. It feels like dozens of frameworks pop up every day.
That makes it worse; location tracking replaces more effective means of measuring job performance (like actually inspecting things in person), and hence reduces the confidence that surfaces are being properly disinfected. (Albeit probably not by much, since anyone who thinks location tracking is a good idea probably wasn't doing proper inspections anyway.)

> Privacy in the midst of emergencies [...] can be a slippery thing.

No. In privacy, as in computational complexity, the worse case is the single most important non-aggregate measure, and the second most important measure period, after average case.
You do realize that different manufacturing facilities are not interchangeable? They're not a rack of x86 servers.
Well, that's the spot Ukraine is in. If there is a chance that they join NATO or the EU, Russia has no choice but to create territorial disputes to prevent it.

Morality matters very little here. Was it moral for the West to intervene after 1991 to loot the post-soviet states leading to the death of 7 million people? No. Was it done anyways? Yes. This is the context in which you operate. If you decide to operate morally when confronted with amoral actors all you will do is cause the suffering of millions of your own citizens.

The FBI largely collects the stats they are sent. I've made no claims about the rest of the country.

The story of this instance of crime is that they're not collecting data the way they should. The way they opted not to collect it shows that it's part of their standard MO. They could be making up crimes they're not solving, but there's no incentive for them to do that. And it's impossible to see that in action, it would just look like someone entering things into a spreadsheet.

You should respond to claims people are making, instead of responding to claims you want people to have made because they're easier to argue against. It makes discussion a waste of time.
What do you mean by reuse of web apis? I’m curious to read up on this feature.
I think half the anger over the silly dance is people who are angry they can't do the dance or never put in the time to learn.

It's also not quite as silly as you'd think. I've programmed a lot and for a long time. Some for personal enjoyment, some for school, some professionally. That covered 80% of the dance and landed me good tech jobs. Working on my weaknesses in algorithms and doing leetcode for a month got me a very good tech job. Whiteboard coding will identify strong programmers who can perform under pressure and people who are practiced a lot of whiteboard coding.
This would be boring if it weren't so serious. It's damn time that the Googles of this world were brought to heel with legislation that has real teeth — i.e.: the levying of fines worth 20% upward of annual turnover as well as heavy fines levied on employees who concoct, design and or deliberately participate in introducing or maintaining these scams.

Once employees are also targeted and held responsible for their actions at law then we stand a chance of getting at least some of our internet back.

Google, Facebook and their cohorts are outrageous, they have been stealing our internet with complete impunity for over two decades like a metastasizing cancer. We users really do need to get proactive over this, if not then soon the internet will be effectively dead for many of us—we'll be left ghettoized in some outpost or alternatively we'll be forced to abandon it altogether. We may even need to resort to street demos or marches to convince politicians that the rotten, monopolistic behavior of Big Tech is no longer to be tolerated.

It's also time we banned non-human entities (aka corporations) from lobbying politicians in private. Any lobbying by them ought to be done at public hearings specifically held for the purpose (corporate lobbying has probably done more damage to our Democracies since the Civil War or even earlier than any single other factor.)

"As someone who routinely uses a browser that does not support Javascript,<...>"

Likewise, my browser has JavaScript turned off by default. 1vuio0pswjnm7, what you failed to mention was how much faster webpages render without JavaScript, when it's switched off the speed improvement is enormous, also all that jerkiness and unevenness of presentation disappears. (As I've posted many times, it's not JavaScript that's the main fault-it's the enormous abuse websites commit using it. It's nothing nowadays for a webpage to be anywhere between 2 and 5MB in size, and on inspection a huge percentage of that code is devoted to serving up you private data to surveillance capitalism. Reality check: remember a standard page of text is only 2kB!)

"Javascript engine has zero effect on the browser's ability to display the information I need from the site. And I still get the info 100% of the time anyway, if I really want it."

Exactly right! Take note website owners who present blank pages when JavaScript is turned off: I used to find it a challenge to get your pages which I then proceed to do anyway. Now I no longer bother, as I've learned that websites that use such scummy lowdown tactics aren't worth visiting anyway. From my observation there's a remarkable correlation between such behavior and the [lack of] quality of the material on the website.
Maybe, maybe not. Once you have shown you have the capabilities it's a different story, but then again you don't have to directly do it, just leak it to your "friendly" neighborhood terrorist group and let them take the blame. Maybe Iran is a different story but what if a dirty bomb was made from India's or China's nuclear materials for example, would an international coalition invade them? I doubt it.
I think it's a non-answer that doesn't need a new response. "You don't have to use it if you don't want to" doesn't address the GP's concern around recommending the app to people who might not know better.

The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon

There's at least one widely known case specifically a motorcycle accident listed there, which due to being widely known was corrected.

This comes down to how you fill in unknowns in your model of the world, many seem to be just trusting authoritative reports. I would like to trust official reporting, but direct knowledge via peers involved in various industries has proven to me or at least created a confident opinion that trusting things at face value is absurd and a near guarantee of inaccurate conclusions. Its amazing how many seem to experience Gell-Mann amnesia in regards to this sort of thing.

Since there's only one public report of this which easily is found on google (which is what I linked), I'd assume such extreme (decapitation) false labeling of cause of death is not so common. However cases of elderly who had multiple conditions being reported as covid deaths appears likely as a fairly massive distortion of the reported death count. The motorcycle case just serves to show how extreme that can get, you've got to ask just how a report like that even occurred, and also note that it seems to only have been corrected after public scrutiny. (I can't be sure it was corrected due to public scrutiny, but I'm leaning towards that since explanation of how it was corrected is dismissive and vague, no clear suggestion that it would have been corrected if not for publicity of it, seems an easy extra few words to add if it were the truth)

I can understand if this way if thinking isn't yours and if accepting official numbers is preferred, but what I can't understand is the absolute certainty that any other perspective is wrong.
...de alternative!
Adding the Informer Model to Flow Forecast
Only 1 in those 7 million died. So the death rate with vaccine is 0.0000001% The odds of getting and subsequently dying from covid in that cohort are about 1 in 300,000 = 0.000003%, or about 30 times higher.
I guess roughly a billion people were just as triggered as I was and now there are all these redundant "actshually" comments :D
> And if side-loading was alowed then every big player whose app users "have to have", e.g. Google, Facebook, Abobe, Zoom, Epic, would start their own independent app store (or distribution just for their apps).

While it's now voluntary as the article quotes, one might be concerned that it might become the de-facto norm. An aspect of this that's troubling is that it would create a further divide for people who are under-privileged, in the same way access to the Internet and computers does today, as some argue, in the job market.
"your own side" is quite revealing.

There's a game siblings sometimes play. One hits another. The injured party responds in kind. The first, the aggressor, calls their parents and complains that the second hit the first and was the aggressor. The second is then punished by the parent for aggression.

This has been the rhetorical, and effectively actual history of the conflicts since prior to the founding of Israel. Iran was a "friend" until they ... changed direction ... in 1979.

Israel is defending itself, actively, against existential threats. If the act of defending itself and its people causes you to label it as evil, that's your business.

Iran is not defending itself against existential threats. It is actively on the offense along multiple fronts. Its activities directly and indirectly cause death of non-combatants. That is, IMO, a very basic and simple definition of evil. This isn't defense. This is offense. For the express purpose of achieving the goals they have enthusiastically repeated for decades.

If you don't think that is evil, that is your business as well.

I used to work at a small company that manufactured medical equipment.
One of the products we made was a pick-and place robot that handled urine samples.

It needed a coordinated 3-axis motor servo motor control, which we initially planned to use PLCs for, however after looking around and seeing the price tag of the stuff that matched our required feature set, we decided to build our own.
We were up and running within 2 months, and I can tell you, writing code in C for the control loops is infinitely preferable to whatever monstrosity PLCs can be programmed in.
I'd say this is a much more complex scenario than running a single motor at a certain speed depending on some sensor readings.
My aging eyesight says no. 4k or bust for me.
I have seen plenty of times when reliable sources are mostly negative about a subject, and Wikipedia article reflecting those sources while ignoring more critical or broader investigative journalism. Gamergate was one of those time, and depending on a persons political alignment the Wikipedia article is either a great description of what happened, or an corporate/establishment-friendly perspective with a specific narrative in mind.

One way we could measure bias in political articles would be to count how much of an article is sources by each news papers and then measure total media bias through establish finding in media bias research. A common cited sources is the study done during the 2016 US election which estimated media bias for each major news paper by looking at social media links where the profile were openly set as being in support to one specific political party. The more links that was shared by a single political aligned demographic, the more aligned the study would define the news paper.

Back to the specific at hands, it is difficult to build a case based on the sum of reliable sourced information without an actually edit dispute. One of the first layers in Wikipedia in order to address issues is through a third-party, and one would have to ask them to decide if the sum of sources are given correct weight in the article. Looking at Max page myself I can't say if the article is correctly reflecting reliable sources or not. I am surprised there even exist 121 distinct reliable sources about a political writer/political documentary maker. If anything the article looks very bloated and should be trimmed down to match subject matters of similar notability. I think there are noble price winners that has less coverage than this person.
I'd buy one but is there anyone selling an AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 laptop with a good panel and keyboard?
I personally don't mind "rich, middle class poor" what I do mind is the vast difference in that spectrum and how bad the bottom 20% of the USA really do have it. You shouldn't have to work 12-16 hours a day of unskilled labor to have a car and decent place to live. No to mention the few million homeless that we have. While the upper 0.1% are grotesquely richer than the rest of us and continue to only enlarge that gap. I can't agree with you at all. With technology improvements we should have a decent spread in wealth and it should be diminishing not increasing. This is indeed where the government should come in with wealth distribution. For a human being it doesn't matter if you have 1 billion or 100 billion you really still have far more than enough money.
On the dock front, I recommend putting it on the left for a 16:10 display.

I almost never use the dock on the bottom anymore. I find this a lot more useful, and it fits with the aspect ratio of the screens that are being shipped.
do you have any issues with sleep/suspend on the surface? I have a sp4 and had such issues even with Windows for the longest time.
Just being IN the interview to begin with is likely to be higher pressure than any sane or sustainable working environment would be.

I've interviewed people who didn't know the answer to some of these tech questions, and honestly, I was more impressed by them calming saying "I'm not sure on this one, I would probably need to go look it up".
It’s hard to admit that they don’t actually know how to evaluate people well and instead implement an absurd level of inefficient gatekeeping. The same reason some jobs only hire people with degrees even if it’s not necessary or the degree is irrelevant.

But if that GPIO triggers an interrupt, you might be able to get the processor to do interesting things by oscillating the signal faster than the processor can disable interrupts and run the ISR.
Things like ArrayBuffer/view, fetch(...) and worker threads being the same spec/interfaces as the browser implementations rather than homegrown stuff like Buffer, child_process and any number of npm wrappers around the http module in node.
Frankly, Israel needs to stop waging these wars in the Middle East. Apart from moral issues, they impact everyone. The refugee crisis is affecting us Europeans. We paid the cost for US wars.

JCPA was working, except for a small group that benefit from its cancellation. Iran agreed to remove its uranium under strict checks and verifications. Why killing it?
Every layout is fine for a split – even QWERTY, as bad, as it is. Just don't switch to a new keyboard and new layout simultaneously. I've done it for Kinesis and Colemak - it is hard. You can't reliably hit a key on the new keyboard, because of the lack of staggering, new thumb cluster and different distance between keys. But when you hit one, it is a wrong one, because Colemak.

In general, however, it is not a problem. Just remember, that adjusting yourself to a new keyboard is similar to learning layout and takes some time. If it is your first ortholinear split with a thumb cluster give yourself a week or two and then switch to other layout.
Programming languages mostly boil down to symbols, and I haven't seen standardization efforts around that concern specifically. Some layouts swaps the "shift" state on the number row (i.e. you type ! by default, and have to hold shift to type 1). There are more commonly efforts around dedicated layouts for compact boards, like [Miryoku](https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku). You will find a ton of bespoke layouts though. https://configure.zsa.io/ergodox-ez/layouts/Qa34z/latest/1 is what my own layout that places `{}() -_+=` on the homerow. This is heavily dependent on language though. A Haskell person is going to have different symbol histograms from a Javascript person.
Nice to see! And glad they are...gasp...listening to people. The Gnome devs could learn a lot from that approach. The most popular distros all include a dock. And yet with Gnome 40, they not only refused to add a dock, they moved what gimped dock they had to the bottom of the screen. But you can't see it until you hit the top left corner. I wish I was making that up. (keyboard shortcuts aside, in fairness)

Rant aside, I'll definitely give it this a go. PopOS is a really nice distro.
And those points "ignore" income mobility because it mostly comes from transitioning from being a worker to being a entrepreneur of sorts. You don't generally work your whole life as a welder, for example, or a woodworker, and retire with $1M in the savings account (perhaps if you work as a surgeon, you do...)

Also, should we perhaps count the people who didn't manage to live to be over 65 in this percentage calculation of "20%"? That'll move that number down quite a bit, I am afraid.

> The rich people today were more often than not the poor and middle class of yesterday.

Well, poor people today are more often than not were the poor and middle class of yesterday too.

Defaulting to browser based APIs when they exist (like a global 'window' element to access the DOM), rather than reinventing the wheel the way Node did. Although to be fair a lot of Node APIs predate their browser equivalents, and in a lot of ways the browser contains a 2.0 version of a lot of Node APIs.
It's just not commonly part of the French diet, and since it's got a very pronounced flavor it makes for really unusual combinations to a French palate. Like most things, it's an acquired taste. (I'm French and peanut butter is okay with me.)
If the illusion is that it's Signal's ultimate goal to dethrone WhatsApp (and Paypal for payments?), I think I'm not the one in need of a reality check (forgive the provocative wording, I have no ill will towards you).

Signal's (meaning the app) goal should be to be a long-term, secure, honest alternative for more privacy minded users, no matter their technical expertise? At least that's what I'm thinking.
