> Two separate federally certified Voting System Testing Laboratories independently confirmed that the system is not connected to the internet. In February 2021, they tested the equipment and found no evidence of internet connectivity. The firms also confirmed that there was not any malicious software or hardware installed on the tabulation equipment.

Sibling comment gets it: regardless of everything else, you must "consume" housing, either as a capital good or in rent. Home ownership insulates you from shocks to the rental market.

It's possible that the house price falls by 10%. It is very, very unlikely that rents will crash by 10%; they're sticky, at best you'll see a very slow slide over years.
This is also true of stocks transferred between brokerages -- it's supposed to be transfered with. If it's not, there's a correction line on the 1099 with
a space for accurate cost basis info, and you'd provide the original purchase receipt as an attachment. There might be issues in the space, but cost basis on a transferred equity isn't one of them.
To be clear, I'm saying that veganism is not the logical solution to the problem of animal abuse by factory farms. The logical solution to animal abuse by factory farms would be measures preventing factory farms from abusing animals.

Veganism, specifically, is only a logical solution to the purported problem that killing animals for their meat, or getting any other animal product by any means, is unethical.

Personally, while I can see some logic in the claim that killing animals for their meat is unethical (I disagree with it, but see where it's coming from), I find the claims that milk, eggs, and wool are unethical to be highly questionable, at best, and the claims that honey is unethical to be truly absurd.
Spreadsheets versus programmers is a war that can be much more peaceful. In my work, I have found that, especially in data science, the spreadsheet user and the programmers are often trying to accomplish similar tasks, but the “language barrier” between them leads to much more fragmented workflows. I also think this article does a good job of identifying spreadsheets as a low-code programming language — spreadsheets are immensely powerful pieces of software. Along these lines — I’ve been building Mito (https://trymito.io/), a spreadsheet GUI for Python. Every edit you make in the spreadsheet generates the equivalent Python code.

For what it's worth, I've now seen a couple times where the spreadsheet becomes too large and somebody hooks the spreadsheet up to a database so it does queries. That seems to work well for the users willing and able to learn some SQL, and it confuses most others which results in some really strange spreadsheets...
I wonder how many bankruptcies could be avoided if more people just had some basic spreadsheet literacy.

Before I bought a house, I built a stupid simple model to understand what my monthly expenses would look like. What you get an appreciation for is that very quickly you can go from comfortable to precarious with just a few additional fixed expenses (childcare, a new car, a boat).

Without laying it all out and seeing how your numbers change, it's hard to get a visceral appreciation for your finances.

> I don’t think if someone was starving and they needed to eat an animal to survive that anyone would say they acted immorally.

Sure, just like most people don't view killing an animal to enjoy its taste as immoral either.

But as a general principle, the ultimate moral good is sacrificing your own life and happiness for another. Killing someone else to save your own life is not usually praised (as long as we're not discussing self defense, which is another matter).

Still, reading your other replies, I understand your position to be that there is a hierarchy of life worth - human > animal > plant[...], you just draw the line differently on killing than most people. I have to agree that this is also perfectly coherent.

Wouldn't that also give them a higher risk of litigation for the events of the carjacking? You could also wonder whether they shouldn't provide drivers with mechanic services. They don't want anything to do with operating the contractor vehicle. I'm not saying they are or are not evil, just putting it in terms of risk.
Can we cut it out with the "your guy" stuff? A baseless conspiracy theory is a baseless conspiracy theory no matter which political candidate you support.

In this instance there is no evidence that any law has been broken. Requesting the routers is a fishing expedition based on zero evidence. The equipment has already been tested and proven to not be connected to the internet, if they turn over the routers then "stop the steal" activists will say the hacks are actually hidden in the ethernet cables, or something. This is not an investigation based on facts, it is an attempt to confuse and sow doubt.

Having the router connected to the internet might be against the law, but refusing a request to turn over routers is not a violation of the law.

How do you deal with regressions?

For example, we once upgraded the redis client. One brief revision of the parser submodule had an apparent resource leak. (I can't imagine how...) Causing all of our services to ABEND after a few hours.

FWIW, Gilt's "Test Into Production" strategy is the first and only sane regime I've heard for "Agile". Potentially reasonable successor to the era when teams did actual QA & Test.

Meanwhile if you go to big US retail stores or shop online, a large majority of the merchandise is Chinese so US retail companies are helping China while China is actively hurting the US. If you don't believe it, try to shop for products that aren't made in China.

Here's the data to back it up: https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/statistics/highlights/t...
1) The big if is written out in the abstract -- "if it is accepted that algorithmic complexity is an appropriate definition of the complexity of a programming project." Relating algorithmic complexity to "how long software takes to write" seems, to me, to ignore that the vast majority of my time as a developer is spent discovering and communicating requirements, handling human questions, not writing novel code. The conclusion touches on this, but ignores it.

2) Even if you accept that "if", this is like a halting-problem proof. Fine; it is impossible to estimate the complexity of ALL software. That does not mean that it's useless to quantify the complexity of software in limited but well-behaved problem spaces. How much of any commercial project is actually spent working on the cutting edge of computer science, facing complete unknowns? An estimate being wrong occasionally is worth most estimates being mostly right.

3) Why do you consider a 20 year old paper that's only been cited 16 times to be critical reading about estimation, when a vast body of research in forecasting exists, written by people who have measurements of the accuracy of estimates to base their theoretical models on?
> I don't see any scientific or technological application

That's a defensible position. But how does that justify the government going to "total war". There are plenty of things that have no scientific or technological application. Reality TV, social media, fashion, nightclubs, sports, bakeries, those stupid outfits people dress pets up in.

At what point did people stop saying "it's a free country"? So you don't like some thing and don't see much merit in it. At what point did people's knee-jerk response to that change from "not my cup of tea, but you do you, man" to "that thing is completely worthless, everyone who likes it must be an idiot, and therefore the government should abolish it"

First of all, this lumps two groups together. Second, isn't it kind of "good" if employers become more willing to hire people with criminal records? They have a hell of a time finding jobs, which gets in the way of social reintegration.

Many times in my career, I've been tasked with re-creating the functionality of a spreadsheet into a web application. And inevitably, users complain about the change in form because it yields a major loss in features, in favor of a streamlined experience. It's a never-ending battle competing against excel.

But, I don't hate spreadsheets. I do hate trying to replace them with software .
I totally disagree, bayern 2020 made every pass and run with the intent to score, almost never to hold the ball.

Methane can be manufactured to be carbon neutral. The cost is prohibitive for everyday on the ground energy use but not so for rocket launches, since fuel is such a tiny portion of the cost of a flight.

Musk has mentioned the possibility of doing this.

I think you're misunderstanding the proposal. Civil time (UTC) is still known well in the future, just as well as TAI is known well in the future. It is the relationship between them that is unknown.
Yeah, I will support this. I've been at multiple startups where the founding CEO was not at all the right person to manage an organization of more than 5 people and the right decision for the business was to remove them.

In one case, the founder was simply a rich kid who started the company with his family's money, fundraised from VCs, then everyone involved realized this person was luckier than skilled. It makes complete sense in this scenario for the VCs to remove the CEO but still like the business idea.
I feel like you are intentionally making the numbers not work. Who in their right mind spends 37 million a year on assets with no value? That does not happen, he would not be leading a company for 12 years if he was doing that.
Edited. Thanks for proofreading my rant. :)
One thing worth noting in this is that, at least in the US, a lot of the "infrastructure spending" that has been talked about recently is, in fact, maintenance.

We have roads, bridges, and buildings that were built decades ago, then the funds that should have gone for their maintenance spent on tax cuts instead, so they're limping along with stopgap solutions.
I'll allow that my characterization was mildly hyperbolic. However there's some truth there. You're stretching when you compare people voluntarily consuming products or services with violence. If this is the comparison you need to make, I think it is illustrative of where the argument is going. The clincher is that regulations, taxes or outright prohibitions of cryptocurrencies will be enforced with violence.

More directly, if some villainous entrepreneur manages to protect his wealth from government confiscation, that is freedom. Confiscation under the threat of violence can hardly be construed as "freedom".

Consider the origins of freedom. Are freedoms granted by government? Where does it stem from? Who is entitled to the value you add to a marketplace? Is a market a zero sum game?
If this is done well it is actually a good thing. I have family recently out of prison and the lack of skills to re-enter the work force is sad, it’s almost like it is built to create reoffenders. The more work opportunities the better, just pay them reasonably.
We had this problem with JSON in the first few years. Various ad-hoc JSON parsers that are not in fact compliant parsers, but mix-in various JSON-like features in the syntax and have specific expectations about formatting.

The reason JSON got past this stage is that the JSON spec is sufficiently simple that when a popular JSON parser for every platform/language got established, people just used it.

XML on the other hand is a nightmare of complexity and it even had the occasional remote code execution vulnerabilities in some parsers (they're that complex). Which means many applications would "handroll" something that amounts to a child's interpretation of what XML is and expect that. Truly unfortunate.

I wonder if SOAP based on JSON would be more successful. Probably yes. But we didn't have it back then.

Both extremes are bad. If you never change anything, you are left behind on a lot of security updates and bug fixes. The longer you wait the harder it is to move.

The “stay current” model comes with risks too. It’s just a matter of figuring out which manner has the better value to risk trade off, and how to mitigate the risks.

C.f. WWII when black people got way more jobs leading to more prosperity and power and ultimately the civil rights movement.

The "labor shortage" is simply progress back towards the fast-growing economy and less lopsided labor market we used to have.

Better growth raises all boats, but capitalists winge about their loss of relative power. This why I say it's a great lie capitalists actually like growth. They actually prefer a doldrum economy with an unproductive basset bubble.
Evolution of Search Engines Architecture-Algolia New Search Architecture Part 1
The parent poster is implying that Activision itself believes Oneal is unqualified.
That if Activision truly believed in Oneal, that she'd be president just as Brack was, rather than share the role.

Of course there are various examples of multiple leaders being successful, but that implies you trust Activision and Bobby Kotick to give them the opportunity to do right, which the poster does not.
The post is probably something of a straw man. I think the "hate" is mostly about spreadsheets being used as effectively hard to audit spaghetti code for for tasks that would be better coded in some Python or R.

I've probably never been a real spreadsheet power user (though I've had some pretty big ones). But they're hard to beat for any sort of semi-structured tracking.

I sometimes wonder if spreadsheets as we know them were sort of an inevitable outcome of personal computers. There were some alternative takes early on but they never took off. It's also sort of interesting to me that some other tools in the same general space like databases on PCs sort of withered away.
The purpose of assigning one person to a task is NOT that the assignee has to do it all or know it all. The purpose is to have a single point of responsibility that oversees things and get it done. Assigning to multiple persons without clearly dividing responsibilities is doomed to fail. And what's worse, when the task failed, people point fingers towards each other and no one wants to take responsibility.
Spreadsheets are incredibly powerful tools, as they support reactive programming natively.

The main problem is when you embed a table in a sheet and use it as you would in a database. It is far too easy to overflow the maximum spreadsheet size, or overwrite data... or worst of all sort some but not all of the columns.
>As you say the $1000 is just what he is missing from insurance, not a cent more. They essentially expect him to sign an NDA for free.

No, because he's working as a independent contractor and therefore is expected to be on his when it comes to costs/losses. He's normally entitled to $0 from uber, which means he's getting paid $1000 for the NDA.
It doesn't work that way:

>She noted many private companies that hire prison workers will not employ them after they are released and will not hire job applicants with criminal records. She added that these programs perpetuate mass incarceration.
This has been building for at least 5 years, but it's obvious now that the West needs to start acting. We didn't win the cold war by pretending it wasn't going on and China has certain advantages that we don't have. We have to coordinate on two separate levels that they do not. First, at the state level, where the game theory goes against us because it's typically rival factions (Democrats vs Republicans) and second at the alliance level where we need to coordinate between only semi-aligned nations.

We have some advantages, like our lead in technology, but few of them are natural advantages. So I actually think we're the long term losers of the second cold war. Especially if we try to ignore it as it starts.
That would not be a representation of value. I address literally exactly this scenario in my comment.

I mean, I don't think it advances my understanding of the "social good" for people to consume billions of dollars of pop-culture entertainment in the form of the Kardashians, Youtube reality-TV celebrities etc, but in no semblance of a free society do I express that preference through punitive government measures against the people expending their resources on that.
Indeed, the Berry Amendment applies to everything sponsored by the military, including things like research grants. In comparison, the Chinese regulations discussed here only apply to fraction of its spending.

I'm sure that's true, but I've interviewed there numerous times and I invariably get one or two shockingly arrogant and obnoxious interviewers. The fact that they usually have no idea why I'm being interviewed, and clearly have a lot of other things to do, may be the source of that perception.
