Just from reading a couple articles about Elizabeth Crafton in that county her story sounds horrific. It seems like she knowingly exposed her children to a violent person who beat and tortured them. She observed injuries "appearing" on her daughter and knew her boyfriend was violent and never connected the dots?

I do think the criminal justice system in the US is deeply flawed and needs lots and lots of reform... But I'm not really seeing the problem with a conviction for a woman who would expose her children to this. Is there additional context you can add?

"The child was literally beaten from head to toe... She was bruised on the top of her head to the bottom of her feet.

The girl, who suffered some brain damage, had cigarette burns, a skull fracture and a broken wrist...

Edit: I should clarify that technically making everything async/await like this would change the behavior of existing code in a subtle way. It's just that realistically, the behavior that's changing is not behavior you should ever rely on in the first place. It technically isn't undefined behavior, but good code would treat it as if it were.

Biden and the democrats failed to move on this, and we'll have no action during the 6 week recess. Unless this is being used as a political excuse for some sort of emergency session, or executive order.

However, I'm on the side of landlords in this. Many tenants are abusing the situation at the expense of their landlords. We live in a society that ostensibly respects property rights. Not only can they not evict nonpaying freeloaders, but tenants that aren't taking care of the property, or causing damage, or harassing neighbors are protected.

The people exploiting rent assistance and unemployment need to be kicked to the curb.

Some of the insane costs of rent and real estate is a direct result of people freeloading, and I've had to couch surf for 6 weeks and counting. I've had multiple opportunities lost because bad tenants couldn't be evicted. As one of the "homeless" I am glad the moratorium is ending. I look forward to the deals on foreclosures and damaged rental properties that will become available so I can find a place to live.

I like to experiment. I'm currently the only subject who's willing to sign up for my experiments.

I was married once. She was a little off her rocker, I didn't want her getting knocked up, she didn't want to get knocked up, she'd had bad experience with "hormonal birth control" pills, so we only used rubbers. Meh. Neither of us wanted a kid, so it was okay.

Rubbers are like masks: no one likes them.

In those old comments (circa 2016), I discussed how I think women are all given the short stick [1] by the medical system. Women have all the costs of pregnancies, it's fairly easy to render men temporarily infertile, but this is not done because women are easy targets for profiteers.

> And are you not worried about messing up?

I have a microscope. The sperm come back. I'm going for a current sperm test this week. It'll have been 13 weeks (~3 months) since my last heat treatment. I don't know that my sperm count will be normal, but I expect it to be in the low-millions. I expect it'd be back to 'good enough' by six months.

I'm going to switch to the silicone ring because I recently learned that inducing the heat shock proteins is stress-inducing, and I think the French researchers I linked to are more studied in this field than I am. I have a system to facilitate the 112° heat treatments, but I need more parts to finish the next revision, and I want to experiment with the silicone ring. Maybe I'll do a hybrid approach - 5 days of baths w/ the ring... Hmm.

OH - PRO TIP: IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THE HOT BATH TREATMENTS, HAVE 'GATORADE' WITH SUGAR AND ELECTORLYTES AVAILABLE WHILE TAKING HOT BATHS. (I use salted fruit juice when I'm doing the heat treatments, if I skip this I get light headed. Very dangerous.)

From my earlier comments:

"There is a problem with birth control that the media doesn't like to talk about. While millions of women take birth control, almost all of them eventually (or immediately) hate the side effects. So most women take these awful drugs only because they are seen as the best way to prevent pregnancy." - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11934396

"There is quite a gap between modern "medical science" and physiology.

The goal is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In order to do that, it has to be done in a way that the masses will not revolt and eliminate the political leaders who want to prevent climate change.

I think that your suggestion, while I guess it's mainstream and basically what's already being done in most places, is guaranteed to fail in both respects.

If we tax one thing and subsidize another, without any linkage to CO2 emissions, then we will not get the reductions we need.

We cannot reconcile the idea that CO2 is the problem, while maintaining that some CO2 is more equal than others.

Can you explain further why you do not like the idea of pursuing the goal that matters, and prefer substituting one that doesn't?

Burroughs is one of the undisputed goats imo.

I'm not saying it's not known by the public; I'm saying it's not officially acknowledged by the US government as being part of their own mass-spying programs.

In other words, it's still officially a government secret, even though everyone knows about it.

Prosecuting someone for a crime based on yellow-dot evidence could force the government to testify under oath about the yellow dots and what they mean... which could force them to answer some uncomfortable questions about how the dots got there... maybe officially admit ownership of the program... and I imagine that could open a whole legal can of worms they'd rather avoid.
Essential Product Management for Technology Entrepreneurs
What happens when you're a new technology entrepreneur. You're on top of the world. You believe that you have the next best idea that can change the world. You're brimming with energy and you have absolute confidence that your product or service will create an entirely different blue ocean of its own. With this belief system in place you start building a product with your co-founder/s and after several unprecedented issues here and there, create an amazing product that should be the next Google or Facebook for the market you're targeting. You have absolute confidence that you'll pick up traction and you'd end up picking some funds. That's exactly when you realise that reality is diametrically opposite to what you had imagined. There aren't any takers for your product and even the folks who had validated your solution don't seem to share the same enthusiasm now. As you're moving forward you realise you are surviving on negligible funds and won't sustain any further. With this in mind you start pinging Angels, VCs and other investment bodies. To your horror you realise that they aren't really interested since its an unproven business model and an unconventional product and they fund successful copycats or products which can grab a large market share in less time. That is when you decide to shot down, even though you don't want to murder your baby. What I just recounted is pretty much the story of 98% startups in India. The reason why that happens would astound you. It has everything to do with product management. Want to know more.

> first to successfully launch and land a VTOL booster

They were not the first the launch and land a VTOL booster. According to the article it was the first VTOL booster to fly above the Karman line and then land safely. But SpaceX had a flying VTOL booster in 2012-2013. [1]

Actually it's amazing because Blue Origin made that flight in 2015, and five years later they made basically the same flight but with people in it. Meanwhile SpaceX nailed orbital landing, is reusing orbital boosters like crazy, released the Falcon Heavy, and has made remarkable progress on the Mars Rocket. And BO still hasn't made orbit.

One of the things I developed a deeper understanding of when I got a chance to work for a defense contractor was just how difficult and complicated it is to develop a new system for the US Government. Unlike "regular" development where you have a project lead, and maybe a VP, CTO, and CEO to get on board, the government needs congress people on board (the money), the service on board (their generals), all of the participating contractors on board (the builders), and a timeline where you may be funded one year and not the next. It is exceptionally challenging!

> Based on our internal surveys, about 10% of our team wants to come in every day.

How many don’t want to come in to the office at all, or less than once a week?

>We want to make the environment such that 100% of our team wants to come in at least some days.

If my current company insisted I come back to the office, I’d quit in a heartbeat, and I love my job. I think it’s be hard to make me want to come in “some days”, if “some days” is more than twice a month. I can’t be productive at an office, and I can’t connect as well with people. My home office is the perfect place for productivity, and I find nearly everything about sitting in an office, especially an open floor plan office, commuting, traffic, public transit, all of it, somewhere on the spectrum of detestable. I feel there’s a serious disconnect between a lot of these CEOs and their employees. The CEOs believe in something, and they want all of the employees to align with their beliefs. The reality is that most of us in the tech community seem to prefer remote work, and the reality is that most of us don’t really want to socialize with our coworkers all day and have “hallway conversations”. A lot of us are introverts and find it taxing and forced and awkward.

The pandemic is showed me how great work can be, when given autonomy and flexibility. I’m happier, I spend more time with my family, and I’m more effective at work. The second an employer forced me to come into the office regularly, or makes me feel like a second class citizen for working remotely even, I’ll quit and go somewhere that values me more.

Ballots are tricky. In the US, You want to ensure anonymity while also ensuring the voters franchise is not threatened.

If we want them to be uniquely identifiable, then we don’t need to hide the identifier. If we don’t want them to be uniquely identifiable, then hiding the identifiable ID becomes a violation of the voters privacy.
Using existing franchisees isn’t the problem. It’s doing it poorly!
Working my way through the archives of This American Life, just the other day I heard the show's 2015 rebroadcast of a BBC documentary on Burroughs.

> Not one election fraud case was rejected on merit and claims. None were heard. All were denied via process.

Do you mind expanding on what you mean by "[not] rejected on merit and claims", "none were heard", and "all were denied via process"? There are multiple arguments that these are incorrect:

- In the US court systems, dismissal due to failure to state a claim is a decision on the merits (Federated Dep't Stores v. Moitie)

- At least one court did hear claims (barring you and me using different definitions of "hear claims"), and specifically addressed them in their decisions (e.g., Law v. Whitmer included depositions and explicitly ruled on the merits)

- Multiple decisions included an analysis of the claims in addition to analysis of the procedural failings (e.g., the decision in King v. Whitmer addresses 11th Amendment immunity, mootness, laches, abstention, and standing, and also goes on to describe why even if the complaint did not suffer from the previous issues the plaintiffs would not be granted their requested relief).

> The higher courts rejected even the idea of hearing them for various reasons including the establishment right wanted Trump to remain in office as much as the establishment left.

Can you cite anything that would support the latter half of that sentence being a reason appeals courts tended to rule the way they did?

> Including the Supreme Court that ruled that potential federal election fraud or process violations in states wouldn't effect another state.

This is an incorrect reading of the Supreme Court's decision. They said Texas lacked Article III standing, which is not the same thing as what you said. For example, the Supreme Court could agree that potential election fraud or process violations could affect another state, while still ruling that Texas lacks Article III standing due to failing the injury-in-fact requirement (injury is not a) concrete and particularized and b) actual or imminent).

> So in this case despite Texas correctly pointing out that other states unquestionably and admittedly violated Article2 by approving election protocols without the consent of their legislatures

This is almost certainly not as unquestionable as you make it sound; for example, Texas claimed that Pennsylvania's Secretary of State "unilaterally abrogated several Pennsylvania statutes requiring signature verification for absentee or mail-in ballots" without the approval of the legislature, but the Pennsylvania Supreme Court pointed out that the Pennsylvania Election Code does not permit the rejection of mail-in ballots based on signature, so if anything the SoS's guidance is aligning with state law more than before.
