On what is based a personal choice? It's based on some information as well - so by trusting a Facebook expert we choose to not trust a medical expert. Choices? Yes. But while some of them are damaging to the feeling of liberty, others are damaging for both the public and personal health, when we are replacing experience with a loud mouth, or substituting medicine with philosophy. And while the state can do only so much for the personal health, we expect from a state to take care of the public health - thus the tyranny of personal choice is in a wrong place in a working society.

> Cases are increasing but even case increase is a tiny blip compared to winter.

If you look at the US as a whole cases are not are still well below the worst daily averages of last Christmas, but blip is a much stronger word than I'd use when the trend line is pointed up with no obvious end in sight.

Drill down on the individual states with the most issues and you'll see that places like Louisiana are basically at the same point as they were in winter and will likely far exceed it.

As you say, the fact that most of the most vulnerable age ranges have been vaccinated will certainly help the death tolls. The flip side of that, however, is that a much higher concentration of the deaths in those states are going to be younger individuals.
Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
Epoxy which bonds front glass to the display can often warp, or stress the glass upon slightest imperfection during application.

Simple bonding gel has no such problem, but it is very rarely used by big brands these days because it makes screen replacement much easier, and cheaper.
There definitely are neurodivergent people who think that way, I'm not sure what proportion but I've absolutely seen it IRL in addition to the messaging being rampant online.

In some milder cases I can see the argument, but I agree for the most part it gets into dangerous territory - doubling down on bad behavior like you said. It reminds me of how parts of the deaf community will refuse treatments that could improve their ability to hear, as they use strikingly similar arguments to the neurodivergent people that act like they have an advantage.

People should be able to make their own choices about medical treatment of course, but I don't think we as a society/culture should be indulging delusions. Not being able to hear is very clearly a bug. With neurodivergence there is such a range of severity it's harder to quantify, but I've seen way too many articles/posts in ASD communities encouraging behavior that clearly shouldn't be encouraged.

I think some of this arises from how hard it is to walk the line between accomodations and enabling. Society was so unaccommodating for a long time that I think we are seeing the pendulum swing the other way. It's interesting to talk to therapists that work with children, as it's especially critical to find this balance in that population. It can be a hard thing for the trained professional to determine in some cases, let alone for the parents to handle.

Ultimately I think we need to emphasize the fact that everyone has things they could improve on, because that mindset seems to be increasingly lost across the board (see obesity epidemic, "I'm just not a math person", etc.). It's okay to struggle with something but it's an entirely different beast to stop trying because you've decided that society is actually the wrong one and you're perfect the way you are. Doubly so if you proceed to bitch about research on these issues (which others may have much worse!) or impose your beliefs on your children. The latter being a problem in the deaf community, as some treatments work much better at a young age but parents will deny for their children: https://time.com/76154/deaf-culture-cochlear-implants/

Although it's hard to blame the individuals here too much, because it's compelling to humans for obvious reasons to push the blame off themselves, and when you see 1000s of people online agreeing that you don't have a problem, it's easy to believe that.
Keep Your Data Raw at Rest
Amazon treats their work staff poorly (at least on the Amazon.com side, if not AWS), and Bezos isn't a very nice human. They throw a lot of their weight around and bully small local governments into succumbing to their conquests. They are a largely unethical company, IMO, and supporting them risks further eroding small business and democratic checks and balances everywhere.
This is so poorly written, I'm not even sure what it's trying to communicate. This seems to be a bunch of ideas, events, and themes thrown together to try and elucidate some sort of response regarding a travesty of justice and a movie. I fail to see how this is worth reading, by anyone.

I was that guy in college. It's an OCD-triggering experience, looking at the transcript. Can confirm that it's not a good feeling.
I feel like that's a good way of accidentally telling folks the wrong thing and never knowing.

I've certainly worked with a lot of folks who detailed "do this" and when done we discovered it is "to achieve this goal" ... that late bit of info proved the thing we did was not as useful or would need more work later.
Great idea, but it comes across as trying to peddle water heaters, not connecting me with service pros. Remember, the value of your service is connecting homeowners with reliable contractors. Maybe the product focus is a side product of your biz model.
Welcome to identity politics, where you don't have a crippling mental illness, you're just neurologically diverse, you're not morbidly obese and dying of diabetes, you're just body-size diverse, and so on.

Everything about you will be commodified and sold to you as a pre-packaged identity, a very complete offer including lifestyle, medias, community and political opinions. You're not you anymore and you don't need to be, you're your culture, skin color, sexual orientation, gender identity, disabilities, etc. You get your own little bubble, very safe, very inclusive. You just have to play by the rules and keep producing and consuming.

I have ADHD too, I have to realize that I'm not a mentally ill individual with a brain largely unfit to live in this world if you don't pump me full of Ritalin. I don't have neurological issues, I'm just different! The world should accomodate to my existence instead of sending me to a psychiatrist who will try to "fix" me and my brain! (That was sarcasm for all you neurodivergents that don't get it.)
For what its worth I've just worked out how to "vouch" for a dead post so I've done that for both comments and it seems to have brought them back (although heavily greyed-out as is appropriate)

A few years ago, my iPad suddenly developed a crack in the glass all on its own. It was just sitting there on the table, I heard a quiet "crack" sound, and there it was: a small crack all across one corner of the display.

I can only assume it was some kind of temperature, pressure issue of some kind? I brought it to the Apple Store, told my story, got the weird looks, but they determined it wasn't fall damage nor me dropping something onto the iPad, so they shrugged their shoulders and replaced it.

After that, I would not be so fast to accuse these people of closing their cases on Doritos.
I do not recall greasing HDDs (the 70's Control Data drives, the ones that looked like top loading washing mashing inserts, yes you had to lube those), but the Seagate 40MB HDDs (to me the first real consumer HDD) had a bearing lubricant problem, where it would get too thin over time and mess up timing.

The solution was to put it in the fridge for a few minutes, read as much as possible off before the lube got thin again.

The tribal knowledge why we put very specific HDDs in the fridge got lost, but people still stick failing HDDs into fridges... go figure.
Trademarks exist to protect against consumer confusion (intentional or not), nothing else.

In this case, the name of a person is used to refer to the events which happened to that person and the related media circus. Is this confusing to anybody? No.

The transpilers aren't really the problem. The real problem is developers adding in all sorts of libraries for every little problem, and each library added is adding tens or hundreds of kilobytes to the final assets size.
I can see a PHP centric shop not feeling all the upside of containers. The typical PHP model is pretty simplistic, so it's not hard to replicate most of the docker benefits without using containers at all.

That is, I can manage and deploy php apps with different php versions, database versions, repo versions, etc, without too much pain already. Because deploying a PHP app is mostly just dropping files into a directory and restarting a web server.

A voice in support - it is more important to solve the problems that you do have than the problems that the Docker community thinks you might have.

But it is important to at least show a little humility and recognising what problems they are solving even.
I guess that would make an even stronger argument to use Azure, right?
A problem highlighted by Uber Eats (etc.) is that when technology comes into an existing market it can distort things by using heaps of Venture Capital that isn't available to the businesses who deliver the actual service to customers. Do you worry that by offering price guarantees ("We honor our online prices, even if it means taking a loss.") you may end up in a similar situation? You're more agency than marketplace, so this is especially relevant.

My understanding is that the reason prices are so unpredictable is because the work is so unpredictable: if you're guaranteeing a fixed cost on a job that then balloons in complexity, then the costs you incur are going to wipe out your margin on dozens of other jobs... but because you're growing in revenue you'll be able to keep raising capital to keep subsidising these exploding costs until at some point it becomes impossible to continue.

You speak about a system that can take inputs and price a job fairly, which sounds great in theory, but if "a system that can price jobs fairly" becomes your white whale, and you're forever subsidising bad jobs, what do you think about the impact on the independent service providers when the music stops?

I think this is a great idea and has a lot of potential to deliver value for consumers and contractors, so this comment isn't a challenge against the idea, rather I'm curious about how you're thinking about your responsibility to the service providers that have hitched their wagon to yours if things don't go to plan.

Now that I think about it, I had a Nexus 5x with the same problem. Luckily the crack was off to the side and didn't seem to block the image sensor at all.

This about people trying to find a method to measure people's susceptibility to a disease. Knowing who is still adequately protected and whose vaccine-induced immunity is waning would allow, among other things, to reduce the number of people that need to be vaccinated again.

That should make everyone happy, including the crowd believing vaccines are part of a plot to kill all babies with one-syllable nicknames, or whatever.

It would also allow vaccines to go to those needing them more, as long as supplies are constrained, possibly saving a few lives, especially in less rich countries.

What I'm trying to say is: are you sure you aren't psychotic?
I don't think so, especially with the relative wealth erosion over the last 50 years. This also doesnt explain the timing. We should have seen a more gradual increase, not such a sharp increase. I suspect it's people cashing out of more expensive southern metropolitan areas (semi/coastal cities). These are investments by climate refugees who can work remotely.
Should there be a way to trademark your own name in order to prevent its misuse in creative works? That way, film studios should have to pay a licensing fee to have your name anywhere in the film or its marketing material.

It's strange to think that fictional characters often have more protection and control over the use of their name than real people.
Both proponents and opponents of GDPR have said that the ambiguity of GDPR is an intentional feature. It closes loopholes or allows for arbitrary power of politicians, depending on who you ask.

Given that we have magic compilers that convert mostly sequential CUDA into highly parallel SIMD assembly code, I don't think that the Itanium concept was too far off.

But all of the details had gross amounts of complexity. More modern VLIW architectures are more obvious about their parallelism... Without any of the weird 'bundles' that made the Itanium terribly complex.

I still think that 'simple decoder' has hope, and I point to NVidia Volta and Turing as my case in point. At the assembly level, the NVidia SASS compilers generate the read write dependencies. NVidia has proven that the compiler can indeed specify the dependencies at compile time, though they require a huge amount of software bulk to be able to do so (PTX pseudo assembly that compiles into SASS later)

The issue is that the Itanium was poorly designed and impractical. But the overall concepts seem to still be possible (indeed, more possible given today's technology). I'd be interested in a modern Itanium, but instead split as follows: where the compiler determines the dependencies but the core figures out the precise scheduling.
And also during past pandemics like SARS, swine flu, others. Because Asian culture already accepts mask wearing when sick as a kind of civil courtesy and responsibility, it wasn’t a big step up for widespread mask wearing during pandemics.

> So why do court cases cost them so much in legal fees?

im not involved in legal stuff, but i think part of the reason is the system of common law. this makes past related cases as important, if not more important, than the letter of the law. so in order to mount an effective legal case, you have to research your case and every other case like it in history (!)

more simply, its a high demand, low supply, high stakes job. drives up the price.

also, the job is just complex. you need to have good PR, a network of expert witnesses, an understanding of psychology to both select and then convince the jury, technical understanding of everything related to your case (computers, firearms, recording devices, medical devices, police procedures, jurisdictional boundaries, etc etc), on top of the normal business stuff like brand recognition to maintain business relationships, etc.
STEM is hard since we can test for it. There are tons of bad teachers out there because they can be bad and we can't do much about it. But someone being bad at STEM is obvious and therefore all the bad people will get filtered out. That filtering is what people refer to when they say STEM is hard, the hard part is to not get filtered out, fields without such filters are not hard.

Of course even fields without filters are hard to deliver a lot of value in, but that isn't what people mean. A person being a teacher doesn't tell you anything about how good they are at teaching, but a person being a mathematician or physicist tells you a great deal how good they are at mathematics or physics.

This is mostly about doing mass vaccinations in the middle of a pandemic with vaccines that are not very effective in preventing infection (and also requiring two spaced out doses). Apparently it provides ample opportunities for the virus to evolve and escape the immunity because it applies selection pressure in that direction without actually breaking transmission.

People like Dr Geert Vanden Bossche has been warning against this for almost a year now. But the vaccine fanatics attacked and discredited them for suggesting this possiblitly [1]

Beyond the model, the the Gini log curve seems to be an integration of the Cauchy-Reimann equations.

Increasing the frequency and amplitude of the underlying equations should bring about more stability, not less, as the differentiated integral of equations tends towards (x).
actually the media white washes black on white crimes, lightens pictures to make dark suspects look whiter, frequently refuses to show black perpetrators "for fear of raising stereotypes," and refuses to report on the extent of black on white crimes, for decades. This is documented by any cursory review of FBI crime statistics. You probably don't even know about the white girls raped killed and fed to alligators or tortured for days before being murdered. You probably don't even know the demographics of mass shooters which are surprise surprise, not good for your narrative.
This looks like the classic "science vs. humanities" war. It's a humanities person (now a disciple of Focault, who they of course take pains to mention) attempting to take leadership of a social movement. It's fundamentally parasitism.

(I want an article about what the Prophet Mohammed said about autism, and how we can make a better, more Islamic social movement. ... Actually we can probably find a Catholic analogue of that, if we look.)

They make this clear in the following disingenuous paragraph:

> Historically, both ‘psy’ and neurosciences have been mobilised to justify large-scale social injustices in democratic countries, from confinement to forced sterilisation and hormone treatments to ‘cure’ aberrant sexualities. We must be under no illusions here. However, it doesn’t make sense to denigrate one and eulogise the other. Indeed, often it’s psychologists taking a ‘softer’ approach to human motivation that’s served to ward off more draconian approaches to brain-based difference. For example, when eugenicists such as Carlos Blacker in the UK equated ‘mental deficiency’ with social and economic redundancy after the Second World War in order to advocate for sterilisation, it was psychologists such as Neil O’Connor and Beate Hermelin who argued that psychological and social intervention was always preferable.

It's disingenuous because it says

> it doesn’t make sense to denigrate one and eulogise the other.

but then it immediately goes about setting up associations of badness with the "hard", sciency, "brain" approach (which, y'know, led to eugenics), and of better-ness with the "soft" "psy" approach, which is more "embedded in a historical context".

Let's be clear what this is: It's a power-grab by a humanities person who wants to colonize this new identity-group on behalf of his field.

It's the highbrow left-version of the thing Trump does when he tries to convince "ordinary (white) Americans" that they should go with him, and his ideology. It's a grifter showing up in the hopes of riding you to a career.
