Charter schools are a great racket.

Fetullah Gülen, the islamic terrorist who tries to overthrow Turkey in a coup has hundreds of “Gülen” or “Kismet” schools in the USA.

He makes billions scamming governments around the word with his “private” and government subsidized imam hatips / madressaa around the world, especially in USA, Australia and Germany.

The billionaire Amway ponzi scheme heiress and former head of Education under the trump regime, makes similar amounts of money scamming state and federal charter voucher programs.
Thanks for the info. What worries me is that you can replace 'Julia' with 'Scala' in that sentence and a data scientist wouldn't know the difference. It's already fast. If Julia wants to win in data science then they need to poach users away from other languages.

> Also, with a jailbreak, I own my data. iOS (Android too, I believe) actively prevents some data from being backed up or copied otherwise.

The primary area you see this is with applications which have flagged that data as sensitive so it won't be included on unecrypted backups (which includes iCloud). This is somewhat important for security — for example, you reasonably do not want TOTP seeds floating around invalidating your second factor security model — but it means you have a problem if an application you care about uses that feature in a way you don't anticipate.

I believe we are interpreting hostile differently because for me it doesn't necessarily imply actively antagonistic or harmful, it can simply mean inhospitable/unfriendly and that to me is a textbook situation.

Here there are also situations where they can refuse entry/service, e.g., you're not wearing tshirt and shoes, or you're drunk and belligerent, but certainly not because of your race, sex, gender, etc.

In any case, to avoid going back and forth on the same topic, I reiterate that my personal experience (and my 2 friends from the first trip, and my partner from the second) was that although we had wonderful experiences with Japanese people that made us feel generally welcome as tourists, we were left with the impression that if we already had issues like those I wrote about what other problems someone living there permanently could encounter (maybe problems when renting, dating, etc.)

I loved visiting Japan, it's the most unique/different of all countries I've been to, but the bittersweet taste it left in me took away any desire to look for jobs there when I left Germany (not my country of origin either).
The hb11 project is 3 orders of magnitude short of break-even. Despite that, it is overwhelmingly more promising than Tokamak schemes like ITER or SPARC, which we can be certain will never produce one solitary erg of commercially competitive energy.

Dynamic scripting languages like python and ruby all have JIT compilers, that isn't particularly unique to Julia.

In comparison the startup costs of Julia are quite painful though compared to those.

> The latency is not simply a bug to fix - it is a consequence of the compilation model

This statement would require some actual formal proof.

And I don't need to recompile glibc or openssl every time I make a binary on Linux, and I don't feel like I should have to recompile Plots.jl and all its dependencies in Julia every time I want to make a change in my script that uses it.
Is there actual proof that everyone dreams?
Being a remote organization is an advantage no matter what: it just means that things are more coherent, better documented and more tools are deployed to make an organization that ticks.

Remote vs non remote is kind of like setting up a system from a GUI vs setting it up from a script. One is easier, very ad hoc and doesn’t require planning other than intuition; the second requires deliberation but makes for a consistent, flexible and documented procedure.

They can't do that because they have likely been "printing" tether out of thin air to boost the price of Bitcoin. They don't have assets to buy treasuries, otherwise they would have 100% done it.

In reality, there was never $60B+ of interest from the market, but once they invented it via printing unbacked tethers, they could grab real USD from people FOMO'ing in and then park that cash somewhere offshore where it can't be touched when the whole thing melts down.

Occam's razor states that they don't have the money given that they'd have zero issues if they actually had $60B+ in deposits.
100%. I was used to only working with other engineers over zoom. I started going into the office and I was shocked when I realized I either had to sit with my laptop on my lap which is inferior to my own set up or just follow along as someone else used their computer which I couldnt see well.
Smart Health Card (COVID19 Vaccine) QR Code Processing / Decoding in Golang
It's generally understood that due to the major overlap in symptoms, the lung illness from the vaping disease could easily have been misdiagnosed cases of Covid. This due to the fact that Covid was unknown. Misdiagnoses are extremely common during outbreaks, which is well-known. I never claimed this as evidence, only as a possible indication which is consistent with the thesis.

Besides, vaping demonstrably leads to a higher risk of serious lung illness by Covid:

Again, not evidence per se, but it is consistent with the thesis.
Fair enough, I guess we'll have to wait to see more action here.

Not that simple. Time is usually a quarter not an hour. The amount of work is intermingled with value, perceived or actual.
Same here. Got a Volvo XC60 T8, last time I filled up with fuel was in March. Almost all my local journeys are covered in EV mode entirely and I drive pretty much daily. And last year I was able to do a cross-continent journey without worrying where to charge on the way.

Having said all of the above - even according to Volvo's own stats, something absolutely stupid like 60% of all buyers never ever plug these in, it's just a tax dodge scam for a lot of people. But if you are one of the people who do, it works fantastically well.

I remember being in the market for a minivan years ago and thinking that maybe I should wait a year or so until Toyota comes out with an electric Sienna. Ha ha ha ha!
I just compared, and that's a route where having the long range Tesla makes a big difference. With the long range, the charging is reduced by around 30 minutes, so it only adds 30 compared to the ICE car, and only requires one charging stop.

Do you normally go through Bloomington? Both Google Maps and the A Better Route Planner say it's faster to go through Indianapolis.
> That work did not address one other unfortunate characteristic of the OOM killer, though: its opinion of what is the least important process on the system tends to differ from that of the system's users.

My experience of the linux OOM killer is not that its opinion differs from mine but that it has no opinion at all for a long, long time after the system is in deep trouble. The OOM killer simply does not act quickly enough to save systems. Sadly it's not customisable but 'earlyoom' (packaged for debian and probably everything else) is. I turned it on when I was messing about when debugging a badly behaved bit of software which went into a memory allocation loop and have just left it on. It's saved me a few times and I now plan to leave it on forever.

Looks like oomd is an idea along the same lines but with slightly different goals. It's not in my distro so not an easy option for me.

> does society cut the mooching rich more slack than the mooching poor

I think about this constantly. My parents and grandparents are so concerned about a situation where a single undeserving "poor" person is given support that they'd rather nobody be given that support. Drives me insane, especially considering my grandparents were all too happy to accept government support during the pandemic despite them not needing it (their words).

... I wouldn't consider it an opinion when I say that food kitchens are for the needy. This guy is not needy, he's want-y, maybe, or greedy. The needy are in situations they cannot or otherwise struggle to control. This guy is actively avoiding "fixing" his situation to a point where he is no longer in need of these services.

The situation on the West Coast here is pretty bad. The homeless population is quite large and there's very little being done to help them. I can't help but feel it's partially the result of the older population here being apathetic due to the above.

>If I lock 1BTC up in an encrypted wallet, nobody can deprive me of that 1BTC without my consent and participation. That is the killer app.

And that's where you went wrong.

Its not "nobody" instead its everybody who participates in this who collectively decide where the price goes.

It doesn't matter at all that nobody can take your BTC the only thing that matters is the value of it which can be taken away while you still have it.

The value is defined by supply and demand and thus collectively moved by thousands of people by their actions. If enough people would sell the price would go so low that miners go out of business and the hash rate drops to the point where its no longer secure. At that point the value is essentially zero. You simply hope that there will never be enough people selling at the same time.

Convention and event sites are generally very bad.

In the age of Google, it's hard to find out when something is happening and to get the most relevant details, especially viewing options.

This is a kind of UX experience that transcends an individual entity. I think a lack of standards and means to merge information (i.e. TV schedules for each nation) is a problem.

Having really good APIs and data standards across the board would help aka event times, locations, geocoridnates, relevant links, you could practically build you own ux on top of that.
Can somebody here, in concrete terms, explain what makes income inequality such a negative or evil thing? I see a lot of people obsessing over it for its own sake, confusing a metric over actual results as a point of focus, but if a society allows a large number of its people to rise above their station at any given moment through effort and some degree of social support, why does the existence of certain billioniares or a 1% have any detrimental effect on overall economic well-being? Given how generally wealthy and well ordered some of the countries with low or moderate gini coefficients are, I'd say that most arguments against income inequality are based much more on emotional dislike and ideological considerations than sound reasoning. Before anyone simply downvotes like an angry monkey pressing buttons, consider the issue, and hopefully, reply with a measured counterargument.

Also, amusingly, many of those commenting negatively here about tax cuts for the rich, the 1% or income inequality are themselves part of a very lucky global 1%.
> It's uncanny how the cameras are almost always off whenever something controversial happens.

It's because the body cameras that are bought by police departments aren't marketed as devices that keep cops honest, but as devices that protect them from the lying public. That's why they're sold with features that allow the wearer to turn them on and off, and with buttons that trigger the camera to only capture small clips of video. Cops only want to turn them on when they feel like they might need to prove something in court later.
> Show me someone who loves office life and being around people who are forced to be together, and I will show you someone with a perverse addiction to confict.

In my experience, being forced to be a Slack @tag or DM away from coworkers who see you as a screen name rather than a face is far worse for conflict.

Remote work doesn't mean employees get to withdraw from social interaction and isolate themselves. It just moves the interaction to a different medium.

I've managed in-person, mixed, and full-remote teams. Conflict always gets more heated in the remote teams. When you're in the office with someone and talking face to face, people are more likely to treat each other like humans. When you're trying to communicate through emotionless Slack text all day, some people misinterpret harmless comments as being aggressive and struggle to treat their coworkers differently than screen names in an internet flame war.
> Are you guys feeling guilty about something?

What are you even talking about? Are you trying to imply that I'm somehow a member of US intelligence, and trying to spread a conspiracy while simultaneously denying that you are doing so?

Julian Assange was spreading Seth Rich conspiracies in 2016.. to pretend that it was just a one time occurrence and that his supporters stopped "believing" in the conspiracy is just denialism.
Apologies for bringing white guilt into it. I misread your comment and reacted.

What is your point? (I honestly do not understand.)

Blackbear's comment was that writing libraries in C allows those libraries to be deployed broadly in many compute environments.

Jakob's reply (as I understood it) was that outside of the big Deep Learning libraries, this has not really happened. There is no C implementation of Pandas that allows for redeployment in other non-python compute contexts.

My point was that, with Arrow, this type of cross platform compatibility is coming to python dataframe libraries. You can prototype Dask code that runs on your laptop, then deploy it to a production Spark cluster, knowing the same Arrow engine is underpinning both. Or at least that's the vision. Obviously Arrow is still relatively young. But the point is, it's far from certain that the long-term global optimum for the ecosystem isn't sticking with "all libraries are written in C".
Lab-leak was always a possibility, but remains unlikely when the pandemic virus is so unlike the lab viruses themselves.

If this research was tolerated and condoned, then what agenda is pushing for throwing good people under the bus? This regardless wether gain-of-function is a good idea or just too unsafe, which need expert record-keeping and analysis anyways.

It's not about punishing the foolish, it's about maximizing the utilization of societies resources. If you hand ten million dollars to a fool and he squanders it, he's not the only one that loses.

The best reason for a meritocracy isn't fairness or justice, it's the benefits it creates for everyone. When someone smart is given control over resources, they create more resources, for themselves and others.
Dr. Anthony Fauci has received plenty of vitriol, some of which is at least uncharitable (even wrong-headed). However, this article did a disservice in not addressing the exchange fully either. According to the accounting of another news outlet, Paul cited a specific paper (https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/j...) that discusses experiments within WIV:

> In this study, we confirmed the use of human ACE2 as receptor of two novel SARSr-CoVs by using chimeric viruses with the WIV1 backbone replaced with the S gene of the newly identified SARSr-CoVs. Rs7327’s S protein varied from that of WIV1 and WIV16 at three aa residues in the receptor-binding motif, including one contact residue (aa 484) with human ACE2. This difference did not seem to affect its entry and replication efficiency in human ACE2-expressing cells. A previous study using the SARS-CoV infectious clone showed that the RsSHC014 S protein could efficiently utilize human ACE2 [33], despite being distinct from SARS-CoV and WIV1 in the RBD (S1 Fig). We examined the infectivity of Rs4231, which shared similar RBD sequence with RsSHC014 but had a distinct NTD sequence, and found the chimeric virus WIV1-Rs4231S also readily replicated in HeLa cells expressing human ACE2 molecule. The novel live SARSr-CoV we isolated in the current study (Rs4874) has an S gene almost identical to that of WIV16. As expected, it is also capable of utilizing human ACE2. These results indicate that diverse variants of SARSr-CoV S protein without deletions in their RBD are able to use human ACE2.

So, I'm not a biologist but I have read biology papers before. The way I read that is that they are doing local changes to binding sites, not simply taking spike proteins and putting them on an experimental backbone.

All the opinions and politics aside: is that the right reading of this passage from the article? Seems like that should be an objective-to-answer question, and for my own education I'd appreciate someone explaining to me.
