Coeur d'Alene didn't seem to have that issue very much. The town never really shut down.
What started the lack of workers (based on my observation and discussions with the people in these jobs) was they were getting more on unemployment than they did at their job...and when the unemployment ran out they realized that there was little point...because if they go back to work they still can't afford rent. I have a suspicion a large portion of them are just waiting to be evicted or have already moved in with someone (family, couch surfing, etc).

Our death rates here were not high for the age range that takes these jobs...we likely lost more to the opioid crisis than anything.

Coeur d'Alene was wide open for operation June 2020...the restaurants had a record year (due to Washington being locked down). I suspect this area will be one of the much studied regions in terms of Covid. Almost no lockdown, very limited mask usage, schools were largely open, as well as a very low vaccination rate in the county. I consider this area as close to a "control group" as you can get.
Regarding audio, I currently use some tools from Rogue Amoeba called SoundSource, Loopback, and Audio Hijack that allow users to redirect, record, and add effects to virtual audio devices and applications on the system.

Currently, it's installed as a kernel extension, but I'm not sure if it will be possible for it to move to the new framework.

Do they not have computers in DoD facilities? Do they never run RHEL? Don't the installer disks have QEMU on them already?

Twitter blocking is not about owing attention, a Twitter block prevents the blockee from seeing your tweets. The company is basically punishing Wolf for their critical tweet.

No one is owed anyone in this scenario, but it's just crappy behaviour from Tailwind. They probably are just tired from the negativity, I mean just look at their site the framework does look terrible, they even admit to this with this quote on their site front and center:

"If you can suppress the urge to retch long enough to give it a chance, I really think you'll wonder how you ever worked with CSS any other way."

Even though the code is offensive to the senses, it apparently works really well. Judging from the adoption and the beautifully designed UI's they are showcasing people do recognise its usefulness.
In a car, would changing the oil, transmission fluid, rear differential, changing the battery be considered repair/maintenance?

On a phone, would changing the battery be considered repair/maintenance? How about inserting a memory stick?

If I have a scratch on my manufacturer supplied protective plastic on my phone, is it considered repair/maintenance for me to replace the screen?

If my phone is worn and the paint is coming off, if I repaint it with an airbrush, is that considered repair/maintenance?

If I have water in my phone, and I pull off the back cover and remove the water, is that considered repair/maintenance?

The difference between Apple and other anonymizing proxy/VPN services will be the size of the user base.

Trusting location APIs is also silly, as those can be spoofed easily. What Apple is really doing here is subverting the entire concept of geo-blocking services, which is great.
That is implausible in the general case. If a business actually had a better profit model then they would be able to attract financing. Capital is about as cheap now as it has ever been.

I think that there's difference between Java and JS landscapes.

Java has rich standard library. Some would say - too rich. But anyway - very few people would need customized collections, standard library covers all the needs. And where it does not cover all the needs, there are few commonly accepted additions like apache-commons or google guava. So that one solves `leftpad`-like issues.

Another difference is that Java is old. Most needs were covered by many libraries and few libraries survived which are good enough. It's again some commonly accepted wisdom, so you don't really need to search for many options. You have one good enough option that you'll use and move on.

So it's not about maven/gradle vs npm, it's more about ecosystems. I don't think that porting maven to JS world would change anything.

Yeah they're about to expire, just like they've been about to expire for a year. I'll believe it when I see it.

> if we so often hear about how corporations have the money to pay more, and they’re simply using it to line corporate pockets, wouldn’t they rather pay a livable wage to employees over shutting down restaurants, businesses, etc. entirely?

If they were perfectly rational actors, sure. But businesses and corporations aren't real, they're fake entities that exist just to shield owners from liability. The actual owners of these things are humans, with human emotions just like any other person.

What we're seeing is owners getting angry, and refusing to pay fair wages despite the fact that it makes them less profitable to be upset like this. Depending on how they choose to vent their anger, it is sometimes labeled as a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_strike

> how is it that only now employees are realizing they can make more money from unemployment than working

They aren't -- employees aren't making more money from unemployment than working. They're just realizing "working" isn't really working (it costs more money to go to work, than most of these companies will pay them back in wages). You could eliminate all unemployment entirely, this situation would not change at all.

> Was it just the absurd amounts of money being pumped from stimulus checks?

No. The stimulus checks had tiny, paltry amounts of cash, and also ended months ago. Some unemployment benefits existed for longer, but they are also running out (or already have, depending on your state). Either way, the situation won't change at all when that ends, because the problem has nothing to do with outside checks.

The problem is that in many places in the US, it costs workers more money to show up to work, than they earn from doing that days work.

Why would you go punch a clock at Taco Bell, if you ended up poorer every day for working? If after a hard days work, you had less money on you than you did the day before? You wouldn't, no rational person would do this. But that's the actual reality in much of the US today, which is why a lot of people simply aren't doing these jobs anymore.

If Taco Bell pays you $14/hr, but it costs you $20/hr just to be able to show up to work at all (that's a realistic number in many cities today), then you lose $6/hr for every hour you work. You are, effectively, donating money to a for-profit corporation. Most rational folks aren't going to be happy to do that, so they aren't taking those "jobs" anymore.
Another possibility is interference with DNA repair. DNA molecules are conductive. Some researchers believe this is used as part of the mechanism for detecting damage. Damage tends to reduce or eliminate the conductivity in the area of the damage. They believe the repair mechanism located damaged areas by essentially trying to send a current between two points and if it can then there is no damage between those points.

If a passing electromagnetic wave were to cause current in the DNA right when the damage detection and repair machinery is checking things out that might interfere making it miss some damage, which could result in cancer.

In that case the electromagnetic radiation would not cause the cancer, but it would make some other thing that can cause cancer more effective.

You'd probably never be able to see this if you studied an average population looking for signs of increased cancer in cell phone users. Where you need to be looking is populations that have a high cancer rate, where their bodies are already near the limit stopping DNA damage from turning into cancer, and see if adding cell phones increases cancer rates.

Can a passing electromagnetic wave cause current in DNA? It should be possible. The real question is what wavelengths can do it. DNA is pretty small, so you'd expect that you would need a very short wavelength--several orders of magnitude shorter than 5G.

But DNA is actually a very long molecule that is twisted and curved to pack it into a tiny space. If it could be laid out in a line it would be around 2 m.

Weird things happen when you take an antenna and fold it into a smaller area, especially when the shape it undertakes has a lot of self similarity, including handling longer wavelengths than you might otherwise expect. Would that be enough in the case of DNA to increase the wavelength that can cause currents into cellphone range?

If I had to bet, I'd bet "no", but I wouldn't place a large bet.
That's possible, but Moise Jovenal was relatively buddy buddy with the state department. It could also be random mercenaries.
This can be viewed as an alternative under antitrust law. If you get big enough, either you get broken up, or you have to become a regulated monopoly. You get to pick.

"Big enough" by EU standards is where there are less than four competitors of reasonable size and reach. The US tends to tolerate a higher threshold. Amy Klobuchar's "Antitrust" book suggests 40% market share as the threshold.
Having worked with former US military and three-letter-agency translators, I have to disagree. They undergo large amounts of cultural competence training, and when working, they are expected to translate not just the language, but also the cultural expectations. Even low-level grunts are given basic cultural competence training. "Cultural blindness" is considered a threat to safety, and especially in recent years, there's a lot of effort to reduce it as much as possible.

I cannot imagine this sort of flagrant "cultural blindness" coming from the US military. I also cannot imagine what sort of benefit this sort of operation would gain the US, or why a country with the most highly-trained stealth operatives in the world would pick such a loud, public way of assassinating an enemy.

This reeks of a false flag to me. Are there particular reasons you think differently?
Wife grew up in Hailey. It's not by any means inexpensive, especially when you consider the type of people that live there - working class. Many of our friends survived by having 2 - 3 jobs, working at the ski resort, airport, and coffee shops. Normal houses there are selling for 500 - 700k, way beyond what the existing jobs can support.
If it were as simple as that, then surely the whole world would be using document DBs exclusively.

The whole world isn't doing that. So maybe there's more to it.

I'm doing some work right now where a graph is a good conceptual fit to the problem space. Writes are much less common than reads. A graph-theoretic approach is a good fit for the queries it needs to support; transitive closure and topological sort for example.

Would I use a graph DB for a heavily transactional system like banking? No. Different problem, different requirements, different tech choice.

But you seem to be suggesting that there are no problem scenarios where the characteristics of a graph DB are a good fit. That seems naive at best.

Good. I’m tired of wasting my time with dumb bullshit like vendors thinking my credit card billing address is “suspicious” somehow.
I don’t have a problem with the tools in the tax code to defer realization for capital gains taxes during a lifetime e.g. 1031 exchange, traditional 401(k) or IRA, in-kind redemption for ETFs, etc., so long as the taxes eventually do get paid on the gains. The real issue in my opinion is the loopholes in the tax code to avoid capital gains taxes completely e.g. step-up basis on death + $11.7 million estate and gift tax exclusion per person, $500k capital gains tax exclusion for sale of a home for a married couple (Section 121), Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts, Roth IRAs.
Apparently. This is how I interpreted this passage in the article:

“I can forever claim that people should just learn CSS but if that happens to be a difficult thing, maybe we should try to make a deliverable that is more… malleable.”

I could have misinterpreted that, however; I found much of the writing confusing.
I find that many pro-establishment people on the left are uncomfortable acknowledging institutional racism and harbor some anti-blackness.

I find more diversity of thought among anti-establishment left because what’s important to them/us is addressed by such a variety of movements rather than mainstream politics.

In this sense establishment Democrats are a proxy for the anti-establishment left, many of whom can’t even vote.

I'm not sure the "average worker" you're talking about is actually the average.

And "woke left fear" is more like "economic certainty". I mean, did you read the article? If the workers can't afford to live there, there's no workers. Gentrification leads to failure unless you just happen to have a pocket of your city dedicated to housing all the poor people you need to run your 50 Starbucks.

Fast transportation links are definitely useful. For example, in many densely populated cities, there are large, incredibly poor, crime-ridden neighborhoods on the outskirts of those cities, as that's where are the poor people were pushed by gentrification, redlining, etc. Even if there were jobs for them within a reasonable distance, public transportation would take them 3+ hours to get there, and not run late/early enough for many jobs. Faster and more transport links could help raise up huge swaths of oppressed people - though it has to be paired with increased access to education, food, small business loans, job programs, affordable childcare and healthcare, community outreach, etc.

Increasing density would only exacerbate the problems of poor communities if it doesn't come with solutions to all those other problems I mention. Unless your intention is to create favelas.
Doing absolutely nothing apparently leads to an infection fatality rate of 4%, which I'm extremely skeptical about.
If housing hadn't exploded over the last 30 years I don't think stagnant wage growth would have been an issue.

I've always felt like housing is the biggest indicator of inflation.
* Housing that workers can afford

* Close to amenities

* Detached homes with yards

Communities can pick two.
There have been housing issues in the Wood River Valley for many years. Outside of Ketchum, these are working class towns that have been overtaken.

>If the users of the service are choosing to be indistinguishable from attackers, then that's on them.

No. It's not on me to justify my use-case. How the hell did we get here?
Here's something that's been bugging me. The SIR (and SEIRS) model that this game is based on seem to me to have a flaw. Now obviously I'm not an epidemiologist, and I'm sure that epidemiologists have a good handle on this, I just don't know what it is.

The problem is this: if you assume an exponential decay, you're saying there's no point after infection at which the probability of transmission is zero. Probability of infection has a half-life in SIR. But for a virus like covid, we know that's not true: if you're infected, give it six weeks and you won't be infectious any more, one way or another. If you replace an exponential decay with a finite transmission lifetime, you do end up with different epidemic curves: they have steeper fall-off, for instance.

What's the reasoning here?
My analogy, which seems to be a poor one judging by the downvotes, is that css is lowest level you can get for layout in browser, so it's inevitable that someone will write something of a higher abstraction to simplify it's usage (discoverable with limited class names), give it a particular purpose (consistent scales), and make it reusable. This is exactly what a library (webserver) is written on top of a language of your choice (java).

It's not unreasonable to expect someone to take a similar approach to tailwind and write a similar thing that targets something even more specific such as animations.
I don't see how he has a case here. I do see how he does this to promote himself though and he'll surely get a lot of free coverage on the news media.

> I'm curious if there are Tailwind users out there that could teach me if Tailwind solves other problems I'm not seeing.

I'm building a RAD platform (I hate the term low code) and just pushed through Tailwind as the only method for styling apps and banned custom CSS.

The primary value Tailwind provides is a reasonably well considered design system. I believe CSS' primary weakness is the general inability to define cross-cutting abstractions. I think of the style of an object as a composition of concerns: spacing, position, size, typography, color, decoration, etc. Programming languages have interfaces or traits or protocols to handle this sort of thing but there's no equivalent in CSS. The addition of CSS variables provides limited ability to do this like you can set up a primary color and use that everywhere but CSS variables alone don't let you set up type or spacing scales. I realized this in 2009 and switched over to defining these abstractions as sass mixins that basically boil down @apply with Tailwind utilities where my mixins were the first part of the utility name and the argument(s) the last part. Having a design system simplifies the job of both the designers and developers. There's no guessing on whether it's a 5px or 6px margin, it's a `margin(2)`. Further, if you pick cooperating scales, the page tends to fall into a vertical rhythm, which is tough to do ad-hoc.

Tailwind is an improvement over my self-designed sass mixins mostly because it has more effort behind it and enough people banging on it that it's been expanded to cover a majority of the CSS you need to implement apps. I add a set of CSS-variable based color names to handle theming (`pri` for primary, `sec` for secondary, `ter` for teritary, and `acc` for accent, with `-dark` and `-light` variations) and allow custom utilities for the project. The latter provides an unsupported escape hatch but is enough friction that I'm hoping people won't abuse it excessively.

For my specific use case there are other benefits:

* No specificity issues

* Having to come up with a name for elements is a significant source of friction in a graphical interface

* Naming CSS classes well requires some concept of the overall system and how the element being targeted fits into it. I do not expect my users to have this knowledge.

* I only allow modification of specific points in a component that have a data- attribute containing component-unique names. This will allow me to change the underlying markup and have a fighting chance at successfully migrating custom styles.

* By breaking the link between styling intent and page structure I have the potential to translate apps into non-browser programming environments.

I find Tailwind markup to be quite ugly and think it doesn't have as much advantage in other situations but it fits my specific problem well.
