1) You make it seem like the county is arbitrary. But you are almost always tried in the place where the crime took place.

2) If you commit a crime in country A, you will be subject to different punishments than if you commit a crime in country B. This isn't really surprising. If you commit a crime in San Francisco, you probably won't be charged even if caught. If you commit a crime in a conservative city, you probably will. Again, not surprising and not absurd. These are different polities and they have different policies.

3) This has almost nothing to do with a self-propelling absurd bureaucracy and almost everything to do with people in some places voting for district attorneys/state officials who want to pursue the death penalty, as well as some DAs offices not wanting to spend the money and suffer the grief of prosecuting a death penalty case, which can require expensive lawyering for multiple decades in many cases.

This thread is so tiresome. People are salivating over this uninsightful study and making sophomoric faux-insightful comments like it's a college literary criticism class.
This is science working as intended, isn't it? Someone noticed a thing that might be new and interesting, announced it, people looked into it, turns out it doesn't work. It would be worrying if everything people announced turned out to be significant.
That’s a good way of looking at it.

And yes, it is one of the unvoiced assumptions: as long as I heard two devices speaking, I can’t be breaking any EULAs or what not. Decompiling something would be another kettle of fish entirely.

Not to mention that often times apps (even Java/Android apps) are obfuscated, which might make the reversing much harder (than sniffing traffic).
Before the pandemic hit my wife had been looking for a remote accounting job for about a year or so with no luck. We live in a rural area and don’t want to move, and there aren’t any real options in the area other than where she currently works.

People can only say no if there are options for them.
It’s impossible to measure that kind of net gain, because the very idea of “gain” is subjective, existing only in our own mind.

Is plastic waste good or bad for the environment? Is more forestation a gain or a loss?

Such question cannot be answered without factoring in a human perspective. (Or some conscious things’ perspective, but either way, “the environment” has no perspective as it has no goal or objective)
> Works as in - they believe that they go for their eternal judgement and God says "I clearly said 'do no work' and you thought that by wrapping an entire city in a piece of wire you can safely ignore my commandment".

No, that's not what they believe - they're not ignoring the commandment. They are fulfilling it in accordance with the rules given to them by God and passed down by tradition.

> Could you wrap an entire country in wire and claim it still have the same effect

I don't know, maybe - if an authority in the Jewish law declares it ok, then those who follow that authority would consider it OK. That's exactly how most Western law systems work too. If you want to know if something is lawful, you ask a lawyer. If lawyers disagree, they go to SCOTUS. If SCOTUS decides certain way, then the law is this way. Well, maybe a bit different since Jews have no SCOTUS (then called Sanhedrin) anymore, so if rabbis disagree, they just disagree and their followers do different things.

> I understand you're being flippant

No, really I am not. You try to apply your criteria to the environment and the culture of which you don't know the laws, the customs, the motivations and the history, and you complain it doesn't work for you and you don't understand it. It's like coming to somebody's house, trying on their shoes and complaining they don't fit. Well duh, it's not your shoes, why would you expect them to fit?! For people that accept this culture, it works, if you're not part of it - it doesn't, but that's fine. It's not some criticism of you, it's just not meant to work in way you think it is meant.

> I'm just asking if religious people think that such a simple "trick" is really going to be accepted by God

Religious people don't think it's a "trick". You think it's a "trick" but it's your definition, so asking what they think about it is pointless - they don't think in the terms you do.

> Horses take a lot less energy and rare minerals to produce

They take 4 years to produce. They eat a lot during that time, that's a lot of energy.

Horses include some weird minerals too (copper, molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, strontium, chromium, selenium), biologists call them "microelements".

If you zoom out again, humans are the only hope for the survival of all multi-cellular earth life in general.

The sun will destroy earth in 2-5 billion years. But before then, an asteroid will likely destroy all most/all life on earth in the next couple hundred million years or so. And before that, a super volcano will likely destroy most/all of the animal and plant life on earth.

Assuming human technology advances fast enough to avoid catastrophic climate change and MAD succeeds at keeping us from destroying the earth ourselves , we're the only species that has a shot at making any "not-human-centric ecosystem" survive beyond earth.

(ignoring any life that may exist outside our solar system)

Of course, 22 Billion years from now the entire universe might die and kill everything anyways, but we may end up giving Bambi & friends a few billion years of existence they wouldn't have otherwise had. So I'd call that a net gain.
An artist or writer would have the bulk of their time in their studio or at their desk. Things that people aspire to do as a hobby. There'd optionally be time at galleries/openings.

A politician would have day after day packed with events and travel. You'd need to be switched on, constantly. I can appreciate that a career politician would feel it was their calling, but I often wonder when they plan to step back and let others influence proceedings.
Sure. I'll give an example. In nuclear engineering we know the probabilities, as functions of energy, of each nuclear reaction a neutron and nucleus can have. We measured these carefully in labs. They're fundamental. Now if you load up a Monte Carlo simulation of an entire nuclear reactor and use Monte Carlo to send neutrons through you can compute the average reaction rates all around the reactor with its complex structures just with those fundamentals.
OT but what is the best resource for learning SQL?
>How are we extremely limited and ignorant?

I can't answer this any better than your response already does.
I was by a famous 6 word poem: "For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn."
Right now, the only thing we are really good at is accelerating our resource consumption at the expense of the destruction of the environment.

Humans can get better at building better water pumps to extract water from acquifers faster, but we don't have the ability to put that water back. Once the acquifers run out of water, they're gone in a way they cannot sustain agriculture anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjsThobgq7Q

Humans can build better farm equipment to increase crop yield, but the stuff we grow our food in, topsoil (soil with microorganisms) will keep dying. Eventually, we will run out of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PsOJQLxh8k

Humans can make faster and larger boats that can trap more fish and even process them and can them. But those boats won't put more fish in the sea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V4D77N3bZc

Humans can improve medicine so that life expectancy goes up. But once we destroy the environment those people will not have a way to satisfy their basic needs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x98KFcMJeo

As you can see, you are living an illusion. We are just becoming better at accelerating our own extinction.

Plus, all of our economic activities have a carbon footprint. Greenhouse gasses increase atmospheric temperature, increasing the rate at which methane from arctic methane permafrost is released, which is itself a greenhouse gas that increases temperature, creating a self-reinforcing effect that will ruin the atmosphere pretty quickly.

We are really good at turning the environment into money, but money itself won't solve your basic needs.
Yeah what's not evident to me is how Canada has the upper hand in this? If it can be done in Canada, it can be done in the US (and pay better)
That doesn't answer the question.

Yes the web server supports range requests. Yes it only returns 50kb.

But what mechanism is letting it scan to just those ranges in the binary file. Doesn't the file system make you seek to the starting block and then read from there?

The point is, while it looks very efficient, there might be a crap ton of IO going on for your little 50kb response.

EDIT: probably the webserver is doing an fseek(), and performance will vary based on file system impl. This is something I will need to benchmark.

Yup, details are important here. At least in Denmark, there is no LVT for private residences either (you do pay for undeveloped land). Also, rate is around 0.2%.
I hope it does mean less of both of those things, but especially the disease stuff. I am not okay with Bill Gates pushing vaccine “passports” (read: domestic movement licenses) nor the whole social distancing narrative, and I am particularly disgusted by the fact that Bill Gates and the WHO partnered to “offer” free circumcisions to African boys based off of pseudoscientific and absurd research. The kicker is that even if their research claims that circumcision reduces HIV were true, which is unfounded (the “study” was flawed across every dimension imaginable) even if true it’s still multiple orders of magnitude less cost effective than offering and teaching condom usage. Sorry for bringing up a classic controversial topic but it is probably the most disgusting thing Gates has ever done / is actually doing.
I don’t understand the first picture. I expect the sum of the green arrows to be zero or point inwards to turn the train with the curve.

True, but Bill did have some interesting ties with Epstein. Maybe Maxwell is singing.
You're right the authors have not proven causality (they did find correlation though). They don't claim that either, they say it's consistent. Causality is typically difficult to prove.

However, to verify your objection you need to first give the parameter that they have not used, and second come up with a good causality why your parameter explains the variation better (hint second letter of the county name is not it).
For this to work on the command line, the json-pipe command would need some heuristic for parsing arbitrary input, could be tricky.

Interestingly enough, the Arista CLI actually implements something like this, but it's not a real pipe or a separate command - each command implements it's own `<command> | json` handler.

IMG.LY | Senior JavaScript Architect / Web Lead | Bochum, Germany | Full Time | REMOTE

We're IMG.LY, the makers of PhotoEditor SDK and VideoEditor SDK, two native, fully customizable SDKs for Web, iOS and, Android that are being used by marvelously big brands like HP, Hootsuite, ZARA, and hundreds of other companies around the world.

We're currently working on a new SDK that will integrate UBQ, our cross-platform creative engine written in C++. For this, we're looking for a person to lead our web development team. You'll shape the future of our SDKs by making architectural decisions and by laying the foundation of our public API and extension system. We're a developer product, so you should care a lot about developer experience and create easy-to-use abstractions and bootstrap development of several flexible UIs on top of those abstractions. Additionally, you'll help us find a way to connect our new product with our existing SDKs.

In addition we're also looking for a senior Android Engineer to improve the Android version of our PhotoEditor and VideoEditor SDK, and a Technical Writer to improve our developer documentation.

Right about that exact same time I commandeered an entire lab (30-40?) of SGI Indigo 2's at Ohio State to do distributed raytracing. Wasn't nearly as educational or diplomatic but I did have fun with it until I got shut down for essentially using twice the storage in my home directory as the entire rest of the class. Between that, usenet (of course) and trolling cuseeme reflectors all over the world from the odd smelling Mac lab, I didn't get much studying done.

Good times.

A justice system where the chances of being given the death penalty is highly dependent on what county you are prosecuted in is inconsistent with equal protection of the law.
I cannot tell you how refreshing it is that this is the top comment. Discussion around these sorts of articles is almost always railroaded with the objections that you've mentioned. While I agree that it's human nature to be skeptical, I don't see how it's a foregone conclusion that nature is always right and that certain disease-carrying mosquitos and homo sapiens should have to exist simultaneously. We know conclusively that evolution doesn't always make the correct decision, one only needs to examine the human eye or appendix to know this to be true.

>Surprising to me to read a story of someone growing in the midst of the second world war, lost his father to Auschwitz; further down the story he's super annoyed that some of his students had a website collecting his writings. To me it almost feels that those two worlds are completely disconnected, yet here we are.

Of course they're disconnected. The latter protest came about after the man was elderly, having spent the remainder of his life in isolation well after he'd gone "completely insane", to borrow the article's phrasing.

Considering the toll life must've taken on him, there's really no surprise there.
Huge caveat: central limit theorem isn't all compassing, and the limit will diverge unexpectedly if you keep using it without checking the distribution first.
My experience with your “licensed” professionals has been terrible. They do not meet a high bar of quality, and their services are artificially expensive, and they discriminate heavily against minorities, immigrants, and the poor in their gatekeeping.

It’s also clear to me that most experienced software developers are more qualified than most “credentialed” graduates of CS/software engineering (most of whom can’t really code).
I live in MP, and it doesn't take nearly that long to get here from SF. Maybe Mountain View, on a bad traffic day. But nothing north of Palo Alto could take that long, IMO.
Nice argument, but when you look at the data, it doesn't make sense.

According to your link, the top 10% of Canadians pay about 50% of the taxes in Canada. In the US, the top 10% pay a larger share: 70% (although this is only federal data).[1]

So moving to the US to avoid subsidizing others is probably not the best rationale.
