Yep, via Entryism:

"Entryism (also spelled entrism or enterism or called infiltration) is a political strategy in which an organisation or state encourages its members or supporters to join another, usually larger, organization in an attempt to expand influence and expand their ideas and program."

If my car relied heavily on CAN (like the next generation Commodore) I probably would have sold it.

I love CAN bus (for my own designs), but I don't see the effort of attempting to reverse engineer GM's format as worth it, especially since I had no prior experience with CAN.

Thank you :) I've got another D automotive project which I hope to write about soon.

Yeah but you gotta use the tax code's definition of wages when arguing about the tax code ;)

> It would be pretty awesome if companies increased salaries for everyone at the same proportion of their interment of profit.

It would be pretty awesome if corporations didn't pollute our air too. But corporations are sociopathic profit maximizers. Presumably you support regulating their emissions, rather than just wringing your hands at the bad people. Moral suasion arguments are not effective as tax policies.
I'm all for good wages, but why was it OK for your mom to trade worse conditions for a salary that was on the higher end of what she could get in the 80s but it is not OK for Mexicans or Somalians to do the same now? Yes the pay is lower, but presumably these people are getting attracted by those signs at the border and make the decision to put up with these conditions to better their lot in life, the same way your mom did.

I wish everyone could get a great salary and mostly that work conditions provide a safe environment for all workers, but I don't understand your argument unless I see it under the light of "foreigners = bad"

The goal of the monetary view is still to increase your enjoyment. If you have fun doing something, it won't tell you to stop. It only steps in to say "If this is an unfun obligation, maybe you should treat it like a job."

Abrams does this in miniature constantly, in most of his films. The result is that they're heavily coincidence-driven (you don't have to plan a coincidence!) and he often has to invent a coincidence to fix a coincidence he just introduced[0]. He's good enough at keeping action flowing that one may only notice the most egregious cases at first, but it's the kind of thing that once you realize how he operates, you can't not notice it.

[0] My go-to example of this from Star Wars is the sequence in which Our Heroes just happen to find the Millennium Falcon, and Rey just happens to know how to fly it excellently, and then Han and Chewie just happen to show up on another ship with what can't conceivably have been more than 20 minutes' notice, assuming we want to be generous and grant that they were somehow notified—they show up because Abrams needs them there now, and so he just has them appear by whatever conveyance is convenient for him, that is, lets him keep flowing and not need to edit or re-arrange anything or operate under any constraints whatsoever—but now Abrams has written himself a second ship he doesn't need, so he... has another set of coincidences happen, for no plot reason aside from destroying the ship he just added but doesn't need anymore.

If the main predator of one species is increased by, lets say x500 (nobody knows the real value really) and we observe a significant reduction in the number of preys, this is the first thing that we must assure to mention in our discussion.

As research is a so slow process I'm having a hard time thinking that everybody just forgot to see the 'big whale in the room'. A logical explanation is that they put their bet in the winner horse (those that would sell better and had more options to end the publishing race). The logical, but boring explanation would be put under the rug. I could be wrong, of course, but this is not how science should work (in my arrogant opinion).

> The reason there aren't lot more of them is that there isn't enough food, because everyone is fucking up the climate.

We need to choose between the truth or the ideology. A simpler alternative explanation is that the ecosystem changed and do not have room for allowing more whales. Other that we just see the population in the middle of a recovery, not the final phase and our grandsons will see much more whales and even much less krill. Whales mature and breed slowly so they recover slowly. Ship traffic, fish nets, fish hooks, diseases or whale fishing quotes don't help. The lack of food can be related with climate warming, but also with over-fishing and plastic pollution.

I have been involved in training several "junior" devs in Rust and I would say that it's more about their ability as a developer rather than them being junior.

Developers who could get by professionally in Python, but were not particularly good, have struggled with Rust.

However, we have several developers who joined us directly from their undergraduate degrees who have picked up Rust extremely easily.
Not having children at allor at least less of them is a better way to protect the environment and housing though. If we continue to grow our population as we are we're going to run out of natural resources and space to live sooner or later.

It'll cause some immediate societal issues like an unbalanced population pyramid just like the boomers did. But it'll be better in the long run.
The guy approached her, told her to put her dog on the leash, and then said something along the lines of "Put your dog on leash or I'm going to do something you're not going to like".

And then he pulled dog treats out of his pocket(he doesn't have a dog, he carries them for confrontations with dog owners he gets into) and attempted to lure the dog away from her.

I think, if the races were reversed, the off-leash person would have been seen as the victim, and the dude would have been told "You aren't the park police - mind your own business".

However, because she called the police and said a black man was accosting her, twitter/cnn took that to mean she was trying to get the police to show up to kill this dude, which is a crazy idea to me, considering the NYPD has hundreds of thousands of interactions with black people every year and almost all of them end in the person not being killed.

She also described him as a man, and as "with a bike helmet" multiple times, which leads me to believe she was just "describing the perp" like they do in crime shows when people call the emergency services, and not saying "Hey 911, come kill this black man!"
First, this is not a treaty, it is an annoucement. To make the announcement a "real thing", each country needs to go back to their own legislatures and pass laws, and in those countries that are federal, they need to somehow get their states to pass laws. That then needs to trickle down into account changes, jurisdictional changes, etc. None of that has happened. What has happened is that leaders got together in a conference and issued a joint press release of an intention to address a certain problem within a framework of certain types of solutions. Think of it like the Kyoto agreement -- there is a big difference between popping some champagne corks and actually getting stuff done.
I'm not sure, the popular terminology to describe these trends seems to change between generations. "Angry Youth" seems to be more from pre-Xi Jinping era, referring to a translation of 憤青. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenqing

The crux of the matter is hidden in how the meaning of "caring" is defined. That's where opinions and perspectives diverge completely.

Here's a big question: How much change on a personal level are you willing to make to help curb climate change?

The trade offs and the compromises to be made are going to differ between groups and people. It all rides on social economic background, geographical location (where you live), mobility, opportunities, the life you've build for yourself.

Concrete example. Biden shutting down Keystone XL and the ensuing social upheaval:

https://www.vox.com/22306919/biden-keystone-xl-trudeau-oil-p...

In reality, several thousands of workers lost out on a seasonal / temporary work:

https://eu.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2021...

Disregarding the details of this particular case, it's an example that exactly points at the glaring challenge ahead: how this affects people directly.

Here you have a few thousand people directly having to figure out how to cover their living expenses, find an alternate livelihood to cover the loss of their job in the short run, adjusting their plans. This not a minor inconvenience, but quite an adjustment for many months to come. One can empathize on a personal level: losing out on a job - even if it's temp work - just sucks all round.

And that's just one of many uncountable individual trade offs people are asked or forced to make by their leadership. All risking to create resentment and lose support down the line.

In that regard, serious government officials and politicians do care, it's just that they can't make life-altering policy changes without consequences. The argument "If we don't change, climate change will end up costing us much, much more" is true to an extent, but hardly an argument you can readily use lest you want to lose support. People don't just look to you to enact policies regarding climate, they also look to you for leadership that ensures their lives remain relatively stable as well.

That's the catch-22 which humanity faces.

>I think Graeber is most likely a Marxist, and I've commented on that and what I think of it elsewhere in the thread.

I think that is the misinterpretation. Graeber and Sahlins' work seems to me to be interpreting things from outside a left/right capitalist/communist framework entirely, at least as much as possible, considering how much we have been trained to think within those frameworks.
It's very much the same in Australia.

The approval I got from the engineer was due to the following points:

1. The 6 speed came out of a newer generation of the model.

2. My controller has some safety features.

3. My controller emulates factory hydraulic behaviour. Had I implemented something like a transbrake, I would have been in for a very long ride of red tape.
No. We would not be, just as we would not benefit from taxing corporations at 100% either.

There is a sweet spot, where the amount we tax generates more than it costs, this is known as the "fiscal multiplier." Tax breaks are among the worst incentives ever to exist and have the lowest net-return to society. A corporation paying no taxes, is then completely freeloading off of the countries they operate within. Tax breaks are handouts, full-stop. Tax breaks ONLY increase deficits by necessarily decreasing input (tax revenues) without a corresponding decrease in costs or increase in output. It's literally saying "you don't have to pay your share of taxes because you already make so much money." This is the precise reason Republicans run up the deficit. No one realizes tax breaks are a fucking hand out, we have a budget. "Tax breaks" are just the same kind of spending as food stamps, except they provide a negative return where as food stamps provides a positive one with something like a 1.73 multiplier (which is fucking awesome[1]). If we were taxing multinational corporations at a 70% tax rate, sure, then maybe a tax break might actually help stimulate some growth... but we sure as shit ain't even close yet.

The corporate tax rate should be something like 35% in the USA, but if you do the math it's closer to 17.5% on average that's paid (or was when I checked a couple years ago, I can't imagine it has improved). I can promise all of you, that the overwhelming majority of corporations aren't able deploy international tax avoidance strategies (and are paying really close to that 35%). So... then, 'cuz like averages, 'n' shit, that means (did I get a pun?) a handful of extremely large players are likely paying literally nothing in taxes to get the USA's average rate down to 17.5%.

It's pretty easy to go calculate these numbers for yourself, and to look into what things actually cost. I'd recommend anyone and everyone go take a gander at https://www.bea.gov/ and actually go do it.

WMF/EMF is from the 90s and serializes GDI commands. I think you can hypothetically even put OpenGL commands in there, which should be indicative of how old that is (since MS dropped OpenGL like a hot potato decades ago in order to push Direct3D with the Wintel monopoly).
I think a lot of it is the nudging that the US does with tax incentives. Taxes are often used as a way to economically nudge society toward desired outcomes.

Think tax breaks for solar panels or even just getting insulation added to your home. There are thousands of this type of tax break available to nudge people to move toward the gov's goals.

The fact that alcohol has been a part of human existence for so long might support my hypothesis, if you believe that humans physiology is at least partly shaped by human dietary habits over many thousands of years.
I agree Target and Home Depot are preferable since they do quality control and have in person warehouses everywhere. But they’re all competing for the same labor, hence the rising wages. But I do not think one can pay much extra than the others and stay competitive on the pricing for the same goods.
From what I've read, Steve Jobs was just too full of himself. He had a curable form of pancreatic cancer, and access to any health care conceivable. Instead of that he went with a fruit diet, acupuncture and a psychic. Apparently his diet was so nuts that when Ashton Kutcher tried replicating it, he ended up in the hospital.

Gates while an asshole in the business sense, from accounts that I've heard is a genuinely extremely intelligent person and has great technical understanding. While medicine is not his field from what I heard he seems to take well considered positions in that regard, and I think it's doubtful he'd sabotage his own chances of recovery in such a way.
I'll try to get some website up in the future!
He isn't as deserving of a vaccine as everyone else at the time.

This happened in March, when vaccine supplies were still severely constrained and eligibility was still restricted to those who could be affected by the virus; the elderly and those with comorbidities.

Just because this specific site opened up to all in an effort to serve the underprivileged members of the community who couldn't otherwise prove eligibility does not suddenly mean he is the intended audience for the vaccine at the time, nor that he is deserving of the vaccine. People who actually needed the vaccine were the only ones who were deserving of it at the time.

Everyone else can wait a month. It's not the end of the world or anything.

With all the excitement around the study of the microbiome, its connection to the other organs (even brain), and role in a wide variety of diseases, I find it a bit daunting how little is understood about the other components of the microbiome beyond bacteria. The presence or absence of a specific phage or any other organism could be just as important if not more than relative balance of bacterial species.

I'm glad that these catalogs are growing and we are getting more datasets like this and the human protein atlas.

Something that pushed me to resign from a job at a 2nd tier technology company (gaming) was receiving in invitation (company-wide or locality-wide) from an HR person, via company communication channels, to an after-work-hours drag queen conference call event.

It just made me question the value of the HR department-- Here I am with a ton of pressure on me to build a product.

And the HR department is organizing a very non-work related politicized event, using company resources?

I was disgusted-- not about people attending an online, non-work related drag queen event-- Fine, people can do whatever they want in their off hours-- it's none of my business.

But I was disgusted simply that company resources were used to organize peoples' attendance to an event that promotes drag queens. It was the last straw, decided to quit soon after.
Either:

I have no interest in defending or accusing anyone nor in discussing whether her action in the video where motivated and/or reasonable. But to say that she had no basis to perceive this as threathing behaviour (`filing a false police report`) feels a bit of a stretch.

PS: Obviously this topic can be seen from many angles, my response to you comment is almost entirely due to the "false" in "filing a false police report", had you substituted "racially motivated" this comment would be moot.
