It does not seem to me that Native Americans should count here. Whole discussion completely ignores them in all aspects. The debates are about Americans, it would be like counting Mexico into stats.

> I still maintain that the majority of the people working on farms were most likely white. This is especially true since many states did not have slaves at all. I will admit that it is likely, that the most gruelling work on the field was given to the slaves.

You have to split it to free states and slave states. Free states have no slaves no matter how grueling work. Slave states have split between slave work, feeman work and white people work, where white people would not do slave work due to it being considered shameful.

You have also industrial development going on in exactly this time - and decline of subsistence farming along with it.
It would be nice when you're advertising on your UX, to have a screenshot of your application on the website.
And there are very few actual electrics on the road. I don't think it will be sustainable at all at scale. The time to charge simply is too long for any form of quick charging to exist widespread, and quick charging won't really work with an existing gas station model. They wont be able to service too many cars to make money on incidental purchases.
You may want to consider allowing people to register to be notified after beta when its GA. There’s probably a decent number of people who are interested but for whom signing up for TestFlight is too much friction.
No, it wont ask for money. Once downloaded and install there is no login/paid/free user check, it wont even communicate with the server.
This sounds a little like the Key and Peele sketch where they plan a bank heist. The plan is to work for the bank for many years, and every month the bank will deposit some of its money directly into their own accounts.
Bash has a /dev/tcp/$host/$port pseudo device which covers almost all use cases of Netcat just in case your machine has no Netcat installed.

I still don't understand why such a device/file is not shipped with Unix/Linux by default so it would work with any shell or program.
TBH I hadn't known you could do weighted ranking with Postgres search before.

Curious there's no mention of zombodb[0] though, which gives you the full power of elasticsearch from within postgres (with consistency no, less!). You have to be willing to tolerate slow writes, of course, so using postgres' built-in search functionality still makes sense for a lot of cases.

Agree wholeheartedly here.
Ah damn, expenses just piling on... Isnt there like a software service that can replace the accountant?

Thanks for the info though! Much appreciated! Where in Florida are you based? I was looking for moving to Austin or Miami or Jacksonville actually
Since we're being open and honest in this thread, when anyone says "porn" should I be reading it as "masturbating to porn" or are there a significant number of people looking at porn just for the quick hit of seeing sexual stuff?
Southwest Is Now Suing Skiplagged over Hidden City Ticketing
"If Substack is successful, it will remind news consumers that paying for good journalism is worth it,” wrote the University of Maine’s Michael Socolow "

Talking about the news doesn't make one a 'journalist'. What was Andrew Sullivan's last scoop?

Reporting, fact-checking, corroborating source statements...this is slow, invisible work. It is the polar opposite of 'content production', which requires a regular posting schedule. With investigative reporting, it's generally not possible to get in your 2 cents out when the topic is still hot in the news cycle.

Yet with Substack, and any other content promotion business, you not only have to come up with original content, but spend time creating graphics and promotional copy and maintaining a presence and 'personality' for Twitter.

It's absurd to think that you're getting an 'insider's scoop with no editorial filter' for anything related to real news.
I've used PictureThis a great deal to identify both wild and garden flowers. I've found it really good for the 95% most common plants and also for getting you in the right ballpark so you can then look things up more easily in a field guide. I've just accepted that there are some species that it can't distinguish between - often you need to know exactly the right feature to look at of the plant to differentiate species. It'd be useful though if it flagged this a bit better. Umbellifers are a classic example. It gets them correct more often than not, but I think it'd be good for it to indicate that uncertainty better.
Honestly it's weird to me that more people don't use Firefox on Android. Only mobile browser that supports uBlock Origin.
Neat! For the last year or so, I’ve used remove.bg if I want to quickly create a transparent PNG. N=1, photoroom.com does seem to work a bit faster, but the results don’t seem as accurate and I don’t see a quick way (on the web version) to make minor corrections.
Are there any news outlets left with any credibility?
It's been admitted and has just been announced. You heard it straight from the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer.

They are all opting for CBDCs in the UK.
I suspect it will also lead to essentially "real" fantasy characters that totally replace real human actors. We already have many comic/drawn characters that people associate and identify with in a similar way they associate and identify with human actors; there is no reason why you would not be presented with "actors that don't actually exist in person. I cannot recall what it was called, but the industry has already produced a fully CGI movie that tried to push this very thing by essentially making a real like manga movie.
Tesla's lead is not unassailable, my point is the other car companies are still lagging. Mach-e is the lone offering from Ford, who just released a brand new Bronco which has no electric version. Ford also has worse infrastructure support for charging. Fit and finish on Tesla seems to still be pretty poor from what I keep hearing, and warranty issues etc.

If/when Ford gets a lineup at least as broad as Tesla, I'll believe they are fully engaged to electric. The fact they are coming out with (I'm assuming) popular completely new vehicles like the Bronco that are still only ICE looks like they are still putting their R&D dollars into ICE far more than electric, or were until very recently. Heck, there are 2 more trim options available for the Bronco than the Mach-e.

Don't know about TX, but somewhere there was a comparison like that if the mirror would be laid over Germany. Was under a mm IIRC.
Plus laundry. The invention of the washing machine is literally one of the things that allowed women to get jobs outside the house.
Client hashing limits the variety of hash inputs on the server side, so it is actually worse for security. Think of it this way: hashes of a certain kind follow a pattern for which characters are used and the length and they cannot be salted on the client (because then you'd need to send the salt to the client, making it useless) so it is effectively like having a password restriction like that all passwords must be exactly 64 chars long and only use hex chars.

Hash once (on the server) and treat passwords as a binary blob (in other words no validation) until they are hashed. Have some sensible upper bound on how big the password blob can be, but make it larger than any reasonable password manager would create (like 100kb).
To each their own and different lifestyles of course.

We have two children and use every sq. ft. So much so that I had to convert our spare garage to an office, which isn’t included in the sq.ft. (pool isn’t viable year round!)
I'd say that z/OS is already tuned for sustainability. You can run very old software on it.
When fast charging takes over an hour (Chevy bolt fast charges at 50kw, less in actual use), you do really have to plan trips.

A majority of EV owners don't have L2 charging at home, and a short 30 mile weekend trip (60 both ways) is more than a L1 charger can replenish overnight. Way more if you use AC or drive when in cold weather.

I can easily drive more than I can daily charge with errands or driving the kids to class/camp.
Supply and demand. We're not running out of dirt and not running out of water (east of the mississippi) or running out of farm labor. So if your farmer neighbor works 7x10 and you work 6x8 you are going out of business.

Side job makes it better for individuals and worse for the community. My great uncle gentleman-farmed 40 or so acres of sweet corn and had a roadside stand on the major road he lived on. But the gas stations he owned paid the real bills. Meanwhile his neighbor corn farmers had to compete (on a small scale) with a guy who doesn't need to make money and thinks restoring tractors is a hobby (so he needs something for the tractors to do after he fixes them up, next thing you know he has 40 acres of corn planted...) Luckily his competitor neighbors had a lot more than 40 acres or he'd have put them out of business.

Any low barrier of entry, high supply low demand job is going to be very rough on the employees. Imagine being a supermarket cashier, which is bad enough, but also having to put up money to buy and stock the store before even being allowed to labor there. Meanwhile the guy down the street is doing it as a hobby off second mortgages or other employment to pay the bills. So that's farming.

The cost of food is high because of innumerable layers of middlemen, also lots of "value added" processing. Corn runs around 10 cents per liter (weird measurement system but whatever). Corn flakes cost a supermarket consumer a couple bucks per liter. The farmers get pennies on the dollar at most. That's why they're motivated to "do all that work for free" when selling direct to customers in CSAs or farmers markets. It must be heartbreaking to see three corn ears saran-wrapped at a food store for $1.50 and know as a farmer you only got a penny from that to pay all your bills, which probably near approach the penny earned. So selling ears at the "hipster farmers market" is a good deal at a quarter per ear. On the other hand if you "invested" four hours loading the trucks and driving and 8 hours sitting there, its easy to go broke on an amazing profit margin if it rains on the farm market that day so people stay home.

Anyway, aside from heartbreaking stories about family farms, we simply have too many farmers, so they're working for miserable pay under miserable conditions, mostly. Biggest scam ever by corporate PR is pushing the loss of the family farm story to keep the WAY too many middlemen story out of the news.
I assume the author doesn’t want to make accusations for fear of liability. Which makes the piece kinda weak.
Fukushima Daiichi Accident – World Nuclear Association (Updated on April 2021)
The writing has been on the wall for a while when it comes the next major bottleneck. I'm surprised that Intel was able to keep their quad-core game running for as long as they did, but "chiplets" were obviously going to have to happen, which stresses IO. IBM solved that a long time ago - as demonstrated by the massive IO bandwidth on display for several hardware generations. POWER9 came in two flavors, one with on chip memory controllers and one with their traditional off die strategy. So definitely not new - but its always been very boutique and therefor very expensive. Their OMI proposal was supposed to change that - but it won't, given the awful way they've executed it. Anybody remember that time that IBM's PS/2 offering had a major positive impact on the industry and didn't lead to a mess of dead ends? Me neither... this will be like that.
Thanks so much for calling this out - I've updated the post
I don't really see why targeting the company is useful other than for political practicality because it's rather easy to hold entire companies accountable than some manager hiring for some specific IT role in small enough numbers its harder to not give them the benefit of the doubt. For starters, if you don't care about what job role a diverse group lands up in, does that mean it's okay if they don't get any upper level well compensated jobs so long as they're staffed in many lower paying jobs?

In regards to avoiding discrimination, and giving everybody a fair chance, I don't see a system that accomplishes this besides a lottery. The job interview is fundamentally a ritual of discrimination. The entire fixation on increasing employment for a small number of "diverse" groups is mostly driven by the political strength of said groups rather than any sort of consistent moral principles.
1) How did you get their contact details?

2) Did you have any more success with cold calling vs cold emailing?
No it's not. Starlink requires satellites have visibility of a ground station and that the users dish be registered to a ground station. Currently neither roaming is supported nor is satellites communicating with other satellites to hop to a ground station that otherwise wouldn't be in range. Thus that makes Starlink inappropriate for use on ships and other platforms in the ocean (stationary or otherwise).

Future iterations of Starlink might support this, the service is still in beta at the moment, but it would be a jump to suggest that is why there are satellites over the oceans.

What's actually happening is they're not on a geo-stationary orbit. ie they're travelling faster than the Earth's rotation. So they'll spend time over land and time over the oceans too.
> That's a prospect that is (IMO) far more terrifying than what it could prevent (some users falling for certain types of phishing attacks that install spyware).

I disagree with that conclusion (the latter scenario happens frequently and has lead to significant consequences, including death) but completely agree that it's not a good situation that the alternative is giving a couple of companies control over who gets to ship software. That's why I described it as a market failure — as a user you're left picking which set of drawbacks is less of a problem for you.

What I'd like is basically opening up the App Store walls: allow users to enable third-party stores but everyone runs their apps inside the same sandbox, and the OS vendor retains some global kill switch for malware but with some level of public oversight.

One edge case for this would be the apps which need special permissions: for example, some cell carriers have special entitlements on iOS which allow their apps to talk to their networks in ways which normally are blocked. Reconciling edge cases like that with multiple stores would require care.
Replying here because I couldn't reply to your other comment (I think it reached max depth).

It has no particular relation to PDFs :D. It's just a random name. I also like the number 31.
What a shitty thing to do, but thanks for the info.
An hour to get to 80% of the 2017-2019 Bolt's 238 mile advertised capacity isn't far from the numbers in the comment you replied to. That's 60 minutes to get 190 miles, compared to the comment's 45 minutes for 180 miles (4 miles/minute vs 3 miles/minute).
Something that's missing from this which I'm curious about is how far can't postgres search take you?

That is, what tends to be the "killer feature" that makes teams groan and set up Elasticsearch because you just can't do it in Postgres and your business needs it?

Having dealt with ES, I'd really like to avoid the operational burden if possible, but I wouldn't want to choose an intermediary solution without being able to say, "keep in mind we'll need to budget a 3-mo transition to ES once we need X, Y, or Z".
Sometimes I have given compliments to strangers. But it is a risky move as you can come out as creepy. I think the safest choice is to compliment older people. Also complimenting the pets or the bikes works alright.
wait what's a Hamas teacher or a Hamas nurse? Look at Al-Shifa hospital. Built by the Israelis, today a hospital, rocket launch site, bunker and ammunitions cache all in one.

IDF's responsibility is to keep Israeli citizens safe(jews, muslims and christians). If someone across the border is using firing thousands of rockets at civilians then the IDF is going to step in.

Unfortunately the retaliation which will lead to the fewest civilian deaths will be bombing the launch site ( a civilian building).

What's the alternative? Mount a massive land invasion into a booby trapped hell hole?
farming is super time consuming. The first farmers probably reminisced about hunter gatherers and how they only spent a fraction of their time working. Which was true, but unless they were in a great location starvation was always decent chance too.
This will only work if the cars ahead of you accelerate stronger than you. Standing cars don't need as much distance as driving cars. Self-driving cars might not need the distance if they are networked because if the first car brakes all cars in the group brake simultaneously.
You’d think! But I adjusted surprisingly quick. I’m not sure there is a “trick” to it as much as the brain just adapts and you forget you’re looking at a moving screen.

They chose last names at least 10,000 people had in the 2010 census. Over 43.6% had a more uncommon last name.[1] And some of the study names were much more common.

Which first names seem uncommon to you?

Black names are perceived as lower class because they're associated with black people. And education and work history are stronger class signals.

Which names do you think sound like immigrants?

You looked at the names they used. So you know they didn't use different forms of the same name. Or hyphenated last names.

They calculated the effects of each characteristic. They found discrimination against men and women balanced out. They found modest but significant age discrimination. And they found club memberships had no significant effect.

Absolute prevention is a straw man.

If I'm reading that right, that's a 5% earnings boost, not a 5% wealth boost.

Reasonable wealth appreciation on a 5% "bonus" check / year is an incredible amount of wealth.

Just for reference, investing 1 <currency>/year for 60 years at 6% returns is 533 <currencies>. A 5% boost might be an extra 10,000 USD for a high earner (like a 90th percentile earner). That's 5,330,000 USD earned in a lifetime just from investing that family name bonus. That kind of money would buy your grand-kids a nice college education.

That wealth has probably enabled a lot, including the increased opportunities that gives every single one of their descendants a 5% boost in income.

Yup. Welcome to ACH.
To a less-frequent degree than with 'cases' the meaning of 'gold-standard' seems to have changed as well, or be starting to. As I understand it, a proper gold-standard test is proven to have essentially 100% correlation to verified clinical symptoms or findings.
That CDC don't want real safety data is pretty clear by how VAERS system is set up. I mean, they could just mandate, I mean, strictly, to report any and all AEFI observed or reported. But even after decades of setting it up, it is not so.

When it comes to Covid vaccines, the corresponding AEFIs are not even in the list of AEFIs "reportable under law" (what ever that means).

https://vaers.hhs.gov/docs/VAERS_Table_of_Reportable_Events_...

So, it is pretty clear. So even though this appear "shocking", it appears "meh" to me. "Yea, CDC does not care about vaccine harming people, as long as they can get away with it. what else?"

I mean, what do you expect CDC to have? A conscience?

This is not because I am smart, but the signals are all over the place, and this is old news, if you are willing to look. Also, if you look from the side of these institutions, I don't think they will roll out such a large scale campaign without having some damage control in place in case it goes wrong. Imagine VAERS to be set up to collect accurate AEFIs. CDC or such institutions would never dare to do such a stunt with such a system.

But good that more people are discovering it in their own way. Maybe something will change.
I'm not a ScrapingBee customer (but I've looked into and was interested in it). A lot of websites have started blocking any datacenter IP, even if you are just scraping it once. In order to get the contents of those sites, you need to use residential proxies.
Zombo is definitely super interesting and we should probably add a bit in the post about it. Part of the goal here was that you can do a LOT with Postgres, without adding one more system to maintain. Zombo is great if you have Elastic around, but want Postgres as the primary interface, but what if you don't want to maintain Elastic.

My ideal is always though to start with Postgres, and then see if it can solve my problem. I would never Postgres is the best at everything it can do, but for most things it is good enough without having another system to maintain and wear a pager for.

I think that’s an unfair characterization of the Terminal issue you linked, and the Terminal developers in general. If you follow the Terminal repo it is clear that the devs are not fans of the “modern” Windows technologies they are forced to work with.
