Can they first just integrate payment through the Amazon app with Whole Foods in store purchasing. If I'm scanning a barcode in the app to get Prime discounts anyways it sure would be nice to have that also process my payment. It would also allow the use of Amazon gift cards for Whole Foods in store purchases. If I order Whole Foods same day grocery delivery or pickup through the Amazon app I can already do this so why not in store?
The Egyptian legal system is not known for its fairness... the World Justice Project ranks it 125 of 128 surveyed countries, in last place out of 8 countries in the Middle East[1]

Similarly (and tragically) the Syrian government is not known for its compassion towards its distressed citizens.

I've never once been asked about my grades, nor asked to provide proof of my graduation in getting a software engineering job.

Then again, I have a hard time envisioning what would someone cheat about in a legal exam, other than not memorizing the things, but that's to me just a signal that the content is badly presented (instead, put students in a pretend courtroom in a case that covers the study material, and they'll have to learn it, and learn to apply it).

But even if we accept it as so, it is not an argument to be so vigilant in catching cheaters majoring in other subjects.

I love to read. I am doing it right since my school days. So, it was always a part of my life. But I would recommend you to read these books:

If you have a science background then read
1) Good to Great
2) Life 3.0

If you don't have a science background
1) Future of Capitalism.
2) Good to Great

"Good to great" is a fantastic book for every entrepreneur out there.

Go! read them right now.

> A language that is touted as "difficult to learn" and "difficult to onboard" is by definition not built for maintaining.

I disagree. The things that make for good maintenance correlate with both difficulty to learn and difficulty to onboard. (The converse is not true.) Things that are easily to learn tend to be easy to start with, but end up tacking on, via frameworks or coding standards, pieces that raise both difficulty to learn and to onboard as complex projects exist.

Specifically, maintenance requires thinking like the person or people who initially created the code. The more your thinking aligns with them, the easier it is to maintain. And that act of changing to think like them is learning and onboarding.
> I have trouble focusing, especially paying attention to details. I also forget things all the time

This is unrelated to intelligence. Could be ADHD, could be something else... try asking a psychologist.

> I tried to find reliable IQ tests online

There is no such thing as a "reliable online IQ test". (There are many scams, though.) If you want to test your IQ, find a psychologist.

By the way, Mensa would also send you to a regular psychologist, or would rather ask one to come and administer the test at their location, and would definitely not accept an online test. (Not even a test that claims to be associated with Mensa. It usually isn't.)

> I genuinely feel I’m thinking too slow in general, always felt.

That could also be an effect of conscientiousness or maybe neuroticism. Some people are quick to declare that they "understand" something, when they actually only have very superficial understanding... and when you ask them any deeper question, turns out they have no idea, or are completely mistaken. Other people are more aware of imperfections in their understanding, so even if they already know more about the topic, if you ask them whether they understand it, they say "not yet", because that's how it feels to them.

> I would welcome any advice because the situation kind of depresses me

Find a psychologist, ask them to give you some IQ test (e.g. Raven matrices), and a Big Five (also called "OCEAN") personality trait test. Maybe ask about the possibility of ADHD. This is more reliable than asking strangers on internet, or going with your self-doubt.
I'm not clear what Egypt's goal was by forcing this man to stay aboard the ship. Simply declaring him the guardian never made it so. He was never going to be able to resolve the issues himself and it appears the owners have simply abandoned it and written it off. If Egypt can't get money from the owners, then, as owners of the canal, deny other of their ships passage through it.
Thank you!

True that some societies are much more open or blending in is easier.

I don't understand what use he was on that ship? And can't they find any out of work person from shore to take his place? I'm sure there are dozens lining up to get that job for a few pennies an hour. And they might just have family in the area that can help sustain them.
a) But then why be afraid of the vaccine? We have sufficient data to tell its it's much less deadly than the flu.

b) I do get the flu vaccine every year, even though it's not very efficacious. Having the flu is awful, even if it's unlikely to kill me.

c) Your notion that COVID is mildly more deadly than the flu seems wildly off base. Despite all our efforts to contain the spread (which were sufficient to drive flu cases to effectively zero this season) it has killed > 500K in the U.S., 10-20x a typical flu season.
I've heard the "1) Low Cost" is false. [1]. Mainly because it takes time and effort to actually execute someone, to give plenty of time to find evidence exonerating them. That delay and proceedings end up being way more expensive than just letting them live.

Re 2): Again from [1], I've heard executions are actually quite expensive. Thus, it doesn't scale well.

Re 3): It doesn't make me feel safe if somebody can frame me and get me killed. It makes me feel safer knowing I have time to prove my innocence.

Re 4): I am very skeptical of this claim. Any solid evidence for this being true? Anecdotal evidence shows the opposite. Most criminals don't have good long-term thinking skills, so they won't recognize the tradeoff between 40 years in prison and death, and use that to not commit a crime.

> In the past year, more than 360,000 SARS-CoV-2 genomes have been sequenced and stored on GISAID, a non-profit online database for sharing viral genomes. Geographic distribution of the sequences on GISAID is broad, covering more than 140 countries. But most countries have uploaded only a small number of sequences. Two exceptions are the United Kingdom and Denmark, which respectively account for 45% and 7% of SARS-CoV-2 genomes on the database.[1]

This is from an article published in January this year. The UK had sequenced and shared 45% of the sequences in the GISAID database at that point in time. Which is a lot.

Thanks for the link.

Just to make a grand summary for everyone:

* writ of innocence does not mean the court of appeals deems someone innocent. It means it finds that in light of the new evidence a retrial is warranted, and the accused enjoys the benefit of doubt once again (therefore he's "innocent until proven guilty"). It is certainly not an exoneration

* both David Faulkner and Jonathan Smith were granted the writ of innocence

* the prosecutors decided to not pursue David Faulkner anymore (either they think he's innocent, or they think he served enough time, or they think they don't have enough evidence to prove him guilty beyond any reasonable doubt)

* the prosecutors decided to try Jonathan Smith in July [1]. A judge decided to deny him bond until that time and to be under house arrest. The judge was obviously aware of the writ of innocence, and found the weight of evidence sufficient to not grant him bail.

* Finally, Jonathan Smith entered an Alford Plea [2], which is a type of no-contest plea. With this plea, the state let him go free. This type of plea does not imply the defendant is guilty, but does not imply that he's innocent either.

*crucially, the Alford plea does not imply prosecutorial misconduct.

Now, if I was "sleazyfing" the work of the Innocence Project, what did they do in regards to the work of the prosecutors? Is there any way to read their article without inferring massive prosecutorial misconduct?

How is it that anyone thinks you're going to grow nutritious tissue without an immune system and expect anything but bad long-term outcomes?
Be careful what you wish for: people are programmed to like a fat and salt. Fatter salter meats probably aren't as good for you as nice lean salmon...

That's without the industrial side of this: meats with built in preservatives and colouring that are actually no good for you but look good and supermarkets will prioritise.

I think both GM and lab grown meat suffer from this issue: smart doesn't mean good for you, it means good for the sales person sadly.
No, it's not. Self defense is moral and justified. And some people are more dangerous alive than dead. Worse, some people develop a cult-of-personality and a following that they can even control or influence from jail. You telling me a mafia or gang leader or a former dictator guilty of genocide doesn't deserve the death penalty? Naive, to say the least. You know little of true evil, which does exist and no amount of corrective procedure will fix.
I believe he was allowed to go to shore. Unfortunately, the closest place is a restricted military area and he was only allowed to stay for 2 hours each visit. He cannot even sneak off as he is getting into a military base for food, water and power. If it has been a civilian area, he could have just stayed on the land.

It is a sad state of affairs, whichever way you look at it.

> but they're also orthogonal to maintainability

Not entirely. Some amount of maintainability is fixing mistakes that result in less correct or safe programs. By reducing occurrences of these classes of problems later, you're reducing the maintainability burden.

It's the same thing that makes a language with a type system more maintainable in the long run. Eliminating classes of errors pays dividends later. The decision to make is whether the extra effort at the time of creation is worth that reduction. Depending on the type of software, it's expected lifetime, and how many people are expected to use it, that may differ. For large scale engineering, I imagine the extra effort required up front is almost always worth it.
No swift support yet. What would be involved in adding it?

Yes, it's possible incarceration itself is a sham treatment for criminal behaviour.

> One of the major justifications for the rise of mass incarceration in the United States is that placing offenders behind bars reduces recidivism by teaching them that “crime does not pay.” This rationale is based on the view that custodial sanctions are uniquely painful and thus exact a higher cost than noncustodial sanctions. An alternative position, developed mainly by criminologists, is that imprisonment is not simply a “cost” but also a social experience that deepens illegal involvement. Using an evidence-based approach, we conclude that there is little evidence that prisons reduce recidivism and at least some evidence to suggest that they have a criminogenic effect. The policy implications of this finding are significant, for it means that beyond crime saved through incapacitation, the use of custodial sanctions may have the unanticipated consequence of making society less safe.

This is a really cool idea! I have wished for something like this for a long time. Glad to see someone built it.

Sadly however, it seems that the .bib file I get from Zotero isn't supported, since it claims to have found 0 articles in it, despite the fact that I have verified those articles show up when searching for them directly.

Edit: TIL that you can also get a .bib file from the "export items" button, as well as from "create bibliography from items". I had been using the latter. It seems that Litmaps only works with .bib files created using "export items".
Interesting. We definitely should have this conversation in the proper detail, because my estimates of Rust's language design priorities must be off.

The US tax policy is beneficial towards real estate in general- you can debate the reasons why but some things that are commonly brought up:

1) real estate is relatively illiquid, which encourages long term investment
2) real estate is culturally significant as it differentiates us against the British
3) real estate is the primary source of gaining wealth for the middle class in the US
4) real estate ownership encourages community involvement

TOTALLY debatable, but Real Estate is 100% given preferential treatment so far as investments go
Thanks for the thoughtful response! Many of these are totally legitimate: in particular, we're making steady progress to centralize module design, release, documentation, and modernization, or at least to bring many teams closer together. In many cases, we're at a transition point between moving from traditional PS remoting modules and filling out PS coverage for newer OAuth / REST API flows.

I don't know how recently you've tried PS7, but the back-compat (particularly on Windows) is much, much better[1]. And for those places where compatibility isn't there yet, if you're running on Windows, you can just `Import-Module -UseWindowsPowerShell FooModule` and it'll secretly load out-of-proc in Windows PS.

Unfortunately, the .NET problems are outside my area. I'm definitely not the expert, but I believe many of the decisions around the default assembly load context are integral to the refactoring of .NET Core/5+. We are looking into building a generalized assembly load context that allows for "module isolation", and I'd love to get a sense in the issue tracking that[2] whether or not fixing that would help solve some of the difficulties you're having in building modules.

For Azure, you should check out the PSArm[3] module that we just started shipping experimentally. It's basically a PS DSL around ARM templates, as someone who uses PS and writes the Azure JSON, you sound like the ideal target for it.

there are some useful ideas in responsive design, but for the most part it has become a cargo cult where checking the box of responsive design matters more than a thoughtful design for any of the sizes in question.

There are a variety of screen sizes that should work. I once got a very small screen android phone and pretty much no apps worked correctly on it. But the responsive design approach where elements resize and reflow, etc., is at best only a partial solution. Perhaps the UX on a tiny screen should be fundamentally different.

Responsive design presupposes various layout oriented invariants that may not actually be the most sensible way to reorganize information. This combined with the cargo cult of DRY results in some pretty bad design.

Wild salmon meat gets its pink shade from eating krill/shrimp according to https://qz.com/358811/heres-why-your-farmed-salmon-has-color...

Farmed salmon doesn't get enough krill/shrimp so the farmers have to add colouring to the farmed-salmon diet to get something close to the colour of wild salmon. see previous qz.com link.

But what you're suggesting is that we need to get those to zero before we address the death penalty. That's a false dichotomy.

The death penalty is one are where we are making the deliberate choice to end someone's life. We can prevent that 4% rate simply by not making that choice. We can make that number zero and it would cost us practically nothing to do so.
