Are you sure? Like the Black Lives Matter protests over the summer were about broad structural issues in policing. Unless you meant even bigger structural issues such as systemic racism which they were only tangentially about but definitely increased the awareness of.

Parklets in U.S. cities can make a significant difference in some areas. There are neighborhoods in SF, LA, NY etc. where restaurants are able to expand into the street area, changing a few parking spaces into outdoor seating.

The outcomes are human-friendly sidewalk-friendly areas, and fewer cars in the areas. There are some parklets that also include bicycle racks and skateboard racks, which tend to also encourage alternative transportation and better health. What's especially nice about parklets is that business owners strongly like them because the parklets bring more customers to the areas.
> If the USA was instead split up into 50 countries, it'd be much further down that ranking even if the exact same number of people died.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covi...

If states were countries, half of the top 20 per capita would consist of US States, with the other half essentially being developing nations.

In fact, I'd say that the only reason the US per capita rate is as low as it is is that states like California (itself accounting for over a tenth of the population) actually took things seriously and brought down that average.

Split hairs all you want, but the fact that the US at one point accounted for a quarter of all cases despite being 4% of the world's population is a stain on the whole country, and a significant argument that the US is directly to blame for the pandemic lasting as long as it did.
Yes, "log structured" basically means "append only (mostly)"

Traditionally on-disk data-structures are modified in-place. But random writes keep disks busy (especially spinning disks, though sequentially writes are still a bit faster in solid state drives), and are also very hard to do transactionally.

So "log structured" data-structures try to make do with only appends (and usually background "compaction"). This also has the benefits of automatically providing history (global versioned snapshots!) and an audit trail "for free", if you want that.

"Log structured merge trees" are a now popular data structure that implements a key-value map using several sorted, append only sequences, instead of the traditional hashtable or b-trees which require in-place modifications

Indeed. If companies go remote, this will depress salaries and makes those living in expensive areas less competitive and either force them to accept a lower standard of living or force them to move to less expensive areas. This might be nice a way to diffuse income and liberate people from having to live in those areas if they don't want to, but for those who do, it won't be great. And this would be true even if US companies were required to hire within the country first.

The other possibility is that if remote work is allowed, but working on prem is preferred, then workers who agree to work on prem will be able to out compete the remote workers for positions anyway which means little practical improvement for those wanting to work remotely.

Pretty widely known effect of sugars on the body. The more simple, processed carbs you eat, the more hunger you feel. Easy enough to test out: stop all simple carbs for 2-4 weeks, observe the results. If you're deep into carbs or junk food, there will be withdrawal symptoms from the sugar addiction. After a month, you'll notice you don't crave any sugars, and you'll feel significantly less hungry on a regular basis.
At the very least they need a plausible market definition, which is not easy.

They also need a theory of harm to consumers from facebooks supposed monopolization of whatever they decide the market is. That’s going to be extremely difficult when the product is free.

I would not have allowed them to buy Instagram or WhatsApp had I been in charge but the monopolization claim they are trying to make is not that convincing.

I believe this but in a major city most cars are new enough to not be loud. I’ve got an almost 20 year old truck that is older than average and not loud, and I’ve never really heard of mufflers rusting here either.
Could be said with anyone that has a drug or alcohol abuse...
Due to quarantine restrictions, a number of parklets were created for outdoor seating arrangements here. What I wonder, is how many cities are considering making the arrangement more frequent and common now that it's been done.

My hope is that it happens. I haven't seen a lot of discussion from local officials yet, but I could see the new parklets sticking around this summer as a trial, particularly to help restaurants expand seating en route to recovery.

IIRC, once it had a stable hold on the tape the drive would begin reading in an effort to locate the start of the data. On old tapes this might take a number of retries with the drive rewinding, reading, rewinding, reading... etc. Sometimes it didn't work at all and you were stuck with a bad tape that needed special attention.

I think its normal for a countries population to focus mostly on their own team(s) in international competition. Even for the world cup, that's the what it is (mostly).

On the other hand... why would the FTC submit a crappy first draft on a major case?

I don’t expect they actually have a great market definition somewhere on their computers just waiting for the judge to reject their first complaint.

This is not an easy case for them.
Of course people own cars today; we prioritize driver interests wherever they conflict with other concerns. But even passive changes to the built environment -- allow more density, upzone urban neighborhoods, eliminate parking requirements -- will in many places result in cities that are far more car-hostile. In my view people will naturally respond to changing incentives.

Car ownership rates should be understood to exist in a context where the alternatives are more or less illegal. If they weren't literally illegal, then they'd be more common.

I'm still piecing it together, but what I've found so far:

In 2018 the Supreme Court declared the prohibition unconstitutional, and gave the legislature a deadline to pass a legalization bill - all the rules necessary for dispensing, growing, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_in_Mexico#2018_Suprem...

The deadline came and went several times, with a few extensions, and the ruling today was the court decriminalizing it on their own because the legislature couldn't get it done after 3 years and were asking for another extension (see below; they originally had 90 days to do it and were granted over 30 months worth of extensions).

https://www.marijuanamoment.net/mexicos-supreme-court-strike...

I haven't tracked down what prompted the 2018 ruling.

Edit: What I've found:

Mexico seems to have a system where 5 similar rulings on the same matter by the Supreme Court set binding judicial precedent for all other judges, and starts a timer whereby the legislature must resolve contradictions. 2 seemingly minor cases in 2018 gave them the 5 needed and started the process:

https://www.marijuanamoment.net/mexican-supreme-court-strike...

Seems like this is about as far as I'm going to get without learning Spanish.

Edit2: Probably the last update, but I found a bit about the "5 Ruling" thing:

> Later, if the Chambers or the Full Court set case law by five consecutive and uninterrupted decisions, the Supreme Court, once again, will inform the issuing authority of the norm in order to amend the un-constitutional part of the norm within ninety days.

> If the unconstitutionality problem persists and it is not solved, the Full Court, with the vote of eight of its members, will expel the norm from the Mexican legal system. If it is a criminal norm, it may have re-troactive effects. It must be noted that this procedu-re is not applicable to norms involving tax matters.

Then propose a different definition. If we define it as "people uses it to organize family gatherings", then instead of YouTube you have iMessage, Discord, heck even SMS and email.

The challenge here is there isn't a single market definition that would fit. It's up to the plaintiff (FTC) to allege a coherent definition, and it sounds like in this case they just neglected to do so.
If BTC price doesn't recover soon and falls further, Microstrategy is what will kill BTC. I don't know why BTC investors are so crazy about Microstrategy buying BTC (This would have never happened back in the early days of Bitcoin), but if BTC price goes down further, Microstrategy will be forced to sell their BTC by their shareholders. Otherwise the Microstrategy stock itself will crash. Also when Microstrategy loses too much money, they may finally have to shut down because they borrowed so much money from people just to buy BTC.

When Microstrategy crashes, along with them, the public sentiment for BTC will go to shit, and that will cause the crash of BTC itself since the whole recent price climb was based on the "institutions are buying up BTC" narrative. This is the scariest scenario. Once the downward spiral happens it will be unstoppable, it will be like the crash Mt. Gox caused, but like 100 times harsher.

You say that because you haven’t heard the din of a congested street where cars are moving at an average of 5-10 km/h, with all the engines stop-and-going and the horns blaring (people are desperate to move) in large cities. Can be heard from hundreds of meters away.
It doesn't prevent discrimination, it just allows me to do what I want to do in the short term, e.g. raise funding for startups or get dream jobs or whatever.

I mean if a VC hands me a term sheet or a hiring manager hands me a job and the ONLY thing I misrepresented is my face, I don't think they have any ethical grounds to retract their offer.

Solving the discrimination problem is another matter, and will take years if not decades, my dreams cannot wait for that.

I like the smell of most strains of cannabis, but sometimes it is gross (I suspect because it's been mixed with tobacco).

Electric bikes could be the game-changer that makes this work. It used to be that most people were opposed to biking due to many issues: safety, arriving sweaty, difficulty riding up hills.

Nowadays with the general easy availability of electric bikes in city bikeshare the main complaint is now safety around cars.
One can at least imagine a future in which downtown areas are limited to quiet autonomous electric vehicles that do not have horns and only screech to avoid imminent collision.
My mental images are usually very similar to how you described yours. I'm also "creative". I've casually self-diagnosed myself as "not being able to see images in my head". However there have been times where I've had picture perfect clarity of something in 3d, including color, but it only lasts for moments and I've never been able to conjure it on purpose.
We're not talking about the programmer doing something, but about the code doing something, which is absolutely all about security proofs. And while the OS protects an address space, the OO runtime protects memory within that runtime, so a private variable isn't available to code running outside the class while the same cannot be said for C code. That's the benefit of offloading memory management in interpreted languages.
I wrote documentation for software that replaced set rules with a library that would determine the 'strength' of a password and only accept strong passwords. My feedback was 'this is bullshit, I've have 40 passwords rejected and I don't know why.

Parasite? My car is an important part of my life and the lives of most people I know. The alternative is that I would spend significantly more time shuttling humans, getting my weekly shopping done, getting to/from work, and so on. All the infrastructure and amenities that you are suggesting be casually tossed aside, improve my family's life significantly in a way that other modes of transportation simply cannot match. The sheer time savings are worth much more to me than the alleged noise pollution from cars, which isn't really even noticeable.
I had some arcade shooters for the sega saturn in the late 90s that had a sideways option so it could fill the whole screen. I was still using my old Amiga monitor back then and would occasionally turn out on its side. the box was mostly square so it worked and wasn't huge like today's monitors.

Make sure you actually read their ToS and Privacy Policy. This is nearly useless at best and harmful at worst.

"If you purchase a paid subscription plan, as a condition to fulfilling your subscription plan, (i) you must provide your personally identifiable information(“PII”) such as full name, birth year and home address to Optery, Inc. and (ii) Optery, Inc. must send your PII to the data brokers and information aggregators included in the Removal Lists. This information is required by the data brokers and information aggregators in order to locate your record(s) and remove you from their database(s). We cannot control, guarantee or warranty how these third-parties will treat your PII or what they will do with it."
But you can decide it based upon certain principles.

I strongly believe that one of those principles should be that hate speech is intolerable and unacceptable. And yes, there are grey areas in determining what is hate speech (this isn't a silver bullet that removes all need for human judgement and discussion), but there are also very large areas that are not grey in any way, shape, or form.
Some would say access to restaurants / eateries / other forms of vended food fare establishments are no more fundamental than access to essential means of transport as cars are. No city anywhere makes it a part of its charter to promise its residents ready access to global fare at their doorstep. If personal vehicles are secondary to public transit, then restaurants are secondary to home cooking.

Also restaurants reserve the right to deny or pick who they serve and who they do not and may bar you from dining there if they do not like you or your appearance - so why should they be afforded public spaces in the form of parklets?

Your comment gets to the heart of the issue in cases like this and related horizontal merger cases: how broad is the market?

If Facebook convinces the judge to accept a broad market definition, game over for the FTC.

If the FTC convinced the judge of the reverse, bad news for Facebook.

The judge has basically told the FTC that they did a terrible job exactly on the market definition issue. This is a big problem for them.

I also don’t see why a judge wouldn’t accept something like “online communications platform” as being the right market in this case. Then all of the players you list are plausible competitors and the FTC’s job becomes much harder (or IMO impossible).

>which doesn’t happen often in a city

I live in a city a few hundred feet from a highway where people are going well over 40, possibly as high as 70.

Geometrically, most of a city can't be in the center, no matter the size or arrangement. I'm not sure how this can be overlooked, but it seemingly is, a lot. The edge of the city is next to the suburbs, and that perimeter should be longer than any inner contour, right?
There can absolutely be moral disagreements but it's not a given. That's probably the main point contested in this thread - that not all politics is about thinking the worst of your opposition. Certainly it happens, but it's not predicated on it.
I don't want to get into a debate defining what language is OO and what is not. My point was rebutting the notion that C has private data structures by pointing out only languages in which memory is managed by the runtime (e.g. VM) can offer isolation guarantees. Attempts to switch the topic to OS level memory protections are not really what we're talking about here, as the OS doesn't provide language level protections. So yes, if your code leaves the VM then you lose those VM protections.

I do not care. It could be from BitChute, Odysee, Streamable, PeerTube, whatever. Some creators chose other alternatives over BitChute or another platform over that same reaction and still ignored YouTube.
