Peaceful assembly is protected in the constitution for people "to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Who's doing this in a movie theater? It's clearly meant to protect public protests.
Basically, if it doesn't look like an INT, it won't be coerced into it.

The edge case I hit was when it did look like an integer, but had leading zeroes that were important:

sqlite> create table example(a int, b text);
sqlite> insert into example values ('00123', '00123');
sqlite> select * from example;
123|00123

My fault for a bunch of reasons, but still, surprised me.
Why aren't those pick up owners buying new trucks now? I guess I'm skeptical that the owner of a 15year old tacoma is putting a down payment on a pick up that's almost twice as expensive as as a tacoma or 10k more then an f150. These trucks get bought because you can fix them and keep them running. So I'm wondering who these people are.

I picked yearly sales to look at because if this comes out those people would impact that years sales. At least that's what my intuition says. Are people really over the f150 and ready to have a new most popular truck in America?
> That’s why my suggestion is to offer them the choice to willingly use a shelter or go to jail

You can't jail someone for not sheltering themselves. That would most probably violate their civil rights and would not survive a test in the courts.
Understood, thanks. I think the concept is excellent - truly a digital ID card that you can present with a simple cryptographic token, thus a real "proof of identity". Keyri is "proof of ownership of a trusted device", which, while being a narrower concept, we believe is more palatable from a go-to-market perspective, since companies prefer to proof identities in their own proprietary way.
I don't think this notion is really supported by the historical record. The US supreme court established the principle of judicial review (which is nowhere in the text of the constitution but is the basis for most of what the court does) barely over a decade after the first supreme court was seated. 218 years ago.

SQLite is also unbounded in its columns (as long as there are enough disk space), even if you put a limit into them. This is both wonderful (every data is intact unless deliberately deleted) and a curse (you can't move into more strict DBs).
None of day†‡, hour‡, or minute‡ are fixed duration, either, depending on use cases & circumstance.

An absolute delta type is good to have, but it's also useful to have a "relative delta" type (how my language calls it). Each has their use cases.

Censorship in the name of 'misinformation' isn't the answer. I know I've been wrong many times for things that I took as granted and as factual. I was so passionate about these facts, blindingly so - I just never saw the contrary evidence. Ever considered that you could be wrong and misled yourself? This is why we need to have a debate to get to the bottom of the truth.
This is very true, a few years ago that I started eating around 4-6 eggs a day because it seemed a good source of nutrients and I had seen various articles saying the cholesterol thing was a myth etc. After about 3 weeks of that many eggs per day, I ended up at the doctor feeling lightheaded and not quite right and turned out my blood pressure was insanely high and after a blood test my cholesterol was through the roof.

I cut out the eggs but otherwise kept my diet fairly similar and about a month later my bloodwork showed I was back to normal cholesterol.

Definitely there are some people who when they eat eggs it will spike their blood cholesterol significantly, but I have also seen other people who can eat lots of eggs and it doesn't seem to change their cholesterol in bloodwork at all.
So if I understand correctly, they want to scan all your photos, stored on your private phone, that you paid for, and they want to check if any of the hashes are the same as hashes of child porn?

So... all your hashes will be uploaded to the cloud? How do you prevent them from scanning other stuff (memes, leaked documents, trump-fights-cnn-gif,... to profile the users)?

Or will a huge hash database of child porn hashes be downloaded to the phone?

Honestly, i think it's one more abuse of terrorism/child porn to take away privacy of people, and mark all oposing the law as terrorists/pedos.

...also, as in the thread from the original url, making false positives and spreading them around (think 4chan mass e-mailing stuff) might cause a lot of problems too.

Intriguing but needs more detail, how do you see it playing out?
I'm not so sure about that.

A federal state as a tight union of autonomous non-sovereign states is viable. We have plenty of examples for that. An EU-style loose union of sovereign states also works, if only barely. However, there is no evidence that a loose union of non-sovereign states would work in the present-day world. It might work, but the question is very complex, and we can't hope for a confident answer without actually trying it.

How about the following…

Being interpreted thusly…

> The government argued that if a single exception were made to the Controlled Substances Act, it would become unenforceable in practice. The government also contended that consuming one's locally grown marijuana for medical purposes affects the interstate market of marijuana and the federal government may thus regulate and prohibit such consumption.

> That argument stems from the landmark New Deal case Wickard v. Filburn, which held that the government may regulate personal cultivation and consumption of crops because of the aggregate effect of individual consumption on the government's legitimate statutory framework governing the interstate wheat market.

On one hand I'm being presented with avoiding long COVID sideffects as a reason to get vaccinated - on the other I get no proof that vaccination doesn't do similar harm and that it's actually protective of those effects.

I don't really mind social distancing measures untill people in the risk groups get vaccinated - all of my high risk contacts have been. So I don't get what we need to get out of, my government is already saying they will eliminate COVID measures after summer, UK style.

I'll get vaccinated at some point if I have to do it for travel or what not - right now I'm not convinced - the social arguments don't make much sense to me (variants will come up anyway, you can get infected and spread the virus even if vaccinated you're just reducing risk)

> 2. You have fears about the privacy implications. If so, what are those fears? Perhaps your vaccination status can lead people to make inferences about your health?

Could you explain why you are NOT afraid? Can you please explain what Apple and the City of New York have done to earn the kind of trust you want me to place in them?

Is your starry-eyed trust also extended to police departments as well?

They are building infrastructure to track people everywhere and punish us for non-compliance.

Do you believe that systematic racism exists, and if so, do you think that it is possible that it could creep into the new health surveillance and enforcement infrastructure that they are building? Are there any mechanisms to challenge the abuses that will happen?

I would be more ok with these policies if they pledged to dismantle (or mothball) contact tracing as soon as it is no longer needed, instead of just leaving it up and expanding it forever "just in case", as they certainly will do.
Don’t forget the US. The US benefitted from massive import restrictions in its early history. It only lowered the walls when it became competitive. Which was smart (by the way) and is what successful countries have historically done. Countries that didn’t protect themselves were crushed by international companies overpowering local companies.

I think it's more of the limitation of liability at this point. Whether or not any central authority endorsed it is moot when 100 million doses have been given.

The big problem for me is in making light of the process that, perfect or imperfect, is a extremely important in a for-profit pharma paradigm.
There's still benefits today to using actual modems instead of glorified sound cards or literal sound cards. I have a pactor modem for ham radio use, and it can do several modes other than pactor, like rtty. Compared to using something like fldigi, if I can hear the other side and they can hear me, the data will 100% go through correctly on the physical pactor modem. There's weird jank even when using the basic RF mail software, which can control a variety of modems, or just use your sound card, too. Every session is longer when using software based modems, for example.

I'm aware that the pactor modem itself is probably a software defined device like an FPGA, but it is much better than the software on the PC - and I can use it with an anemic laptop from 2007 with no issues at all, since it just sends text back and forth over a serial port - via USB.

I wonder what the lawyers are up to. Is this a delaying tactic? It buys her a few months of freedom, I suppose. Who is paying for this? I imagine that any money going to her extremely expensive lawyers will not go to her ... alleged ... victims.

Also, who is this law firm that is defending her? I get that it is supposed to be "honorable" to defend "allegedly deplorable" humans. But I was a lawyer once. She is entitled to a vigorous defense, but I sure as heck would not have done it. I like being able to go home and sleep at night.

Then again, her lawyers probably don't get to sleep. Their loss.
I’m still completely baffled as to how China handled the pandemic.

On the one hand, I entirely believe that their state has the reach and support to quarantine entire regions and crush the pandemic by force.

On the other hand, nominally Marxist countries with massive bureaucracies and being honest about death tolls go together like shit and strawberry shortcake.

I’m still probably erring on the side of China getting it right though. The Soviets barely managed to cover up Chernobyl for a few days and this is a much more visible event.
Places open to the public can almost arbitrarily ask people to leave (at which point their presence becomes trespassing), they just can't ask people to leave for being members of protected classes.

So if I don't like what your t-shirt says, that's all it takes.

And for instance, Walmart doesn't have to open to the public tomorrow just because they opened to the public today.

Yeah, who knows what programming will look like in the future. I'm a huge stay-on-the-keyboard snob but also, I have `set mouse=a` in my vimrc because often I want to hold a drink in one hand scroll through code with another. Shoot-me-why-don't-ya!?? And heck, sometimes it's just that my right hand was already on my mouse to use a macOS feature and now now my left hand cmd-tabbed me back to vim. It's all about laziness, right? My right hand does quickly find itself back on the home row in the latter situation, of course.

This is not how it works, and "natural" herd immunity has never been a real concept in epidemiology - which it is clear you are speculating on without bothering to read about but should also be trivially obvious from the fact that until vaccines none of the vaccine preventable diseases ever went extinct on their own.

I had a career in the robotics field for almost 5 years a while ago. I think my experience is best summed up bye a business analysis done by someone who actually went on to do several y combinator startups. Very smart kid at the time.

His report basically said that anything you want a robot to do, no matter how difficult or dangerous, you can get a human to do for a few dollars more than they would charge for safe, easy work.

In trying to create machines that have anything close to the capabilities of a human being, you're competing with billions of people, many of whom are desperate for work. You're also competing with millions of years of evolution.

Then again, when they reach a critical capability level, I suspect robots will suddenly be everywhere and doing tons of things we don't like to do. But it's very binary, and until you can really compete with human beings effectively, there's basically no market for it.
At least good thing they simply ratified it, instead of putting it to a vote. That could have become embarrassing, as Alabama found:

> Back in 2000, Alabama became the last state in the country to overturn its ban on interracial marriage. And despite more than three decades having passed since the Supreme Court ruled such laws unconstitutional (rendering such bans effectively moot), more than 40 percent of Alabamians still voted against overturning it.

I disagree with you but upvoted for the first point about using hyperbole to further one's point. That's not acceptable and undermines those atrocities and their weight.

Both sides are doing it - left considers the entire right-wing populace as 'Fascists'. The right considers the entire left-wing populace as 'Communists' and along with it comes calling out atrocities, historical turning points, etc to further their agenda.
What exactly are you expecting to happen, for the vaccine to turn around and kill 600,000 Americans?
I agree those are the technically correct way to do it.

But if the reason people are wanting to use the library, is they want something to handle the complexity for them, coercing the data is good for simplication.

There is actually another option, that provides idempotent/associative consistency and implicit coercion to valid values.

This option, which discards some use cases (days beyond 28, when manipulating months), you coerce all values 29..31 to 28. This isn't even as technically correct, as the original option, but it removes the inconsistency and holds to the simplification contract to users.
This is not dynamic types. In a dynamic type system, runtime values have types. This is weak typing.
The links to the primary sources are all right there on the page. I'm not going to go hunting for some other compilation of the same data because you went clicking through the entire site until you found something which contradicted a not-very-convincing Politico "fact check" article. Especially not after Politico had to withdraw their earlier fact check -- chock full of quotes from "the experts" -- about how Covid couldn't possibly have come from a lab.

Your logic is sound, but that doesn’t mean reality reflects that.
I disagree that a true "blade" approach would be better, and believe PoE is a better alternative to PSU and backplane. My hope is Uptime Labs use the same approach as their current half-rack chassis - zero electronics, just hold the PoE-powered pseudo-blades.

Jeff Geerling made an extensive video series on the comparable $189 Turing Pi v1. In the final analysis of it, he breaks down how the networking part of the Turing Pi on it's own is $100 worth of chips. With the Turing Pi v1 holding 7 CM3 modules and the current Uptime Labs half-rack chassis holding 8 CM4 pseudo-blades, you might expect a fullsize chassis backplane supporting 16 blades requiring $200 worth of networking chips. Mind you, that $200 is for an unmanaged network with no VLANS or anything nice like that. Who knows how much more that would cost? $250? $300? More?

I've got two Turing Pi v1 boards. One is a dud because the network switch chip didn't work. It's a common problem if you read through the Turing Pi tech support Discord channel. These things are hard to get right. Leave it to a vertically-integrated network gear company to come up with something reliable.

I imagine two target consumer groups for these:

Group A will chose this over some Ampere Altra server, so the cost of a fancy new enterprise PoE switch is likely well within their budget.

Group B are Raspberry Pi hobbyists / "homelab" enthusiasts, and this is a group that's probably not averse to purchasing either a low-cost PoE switch on Amazon or a used enterprise PoE switch on eBay. There are many used gigabit PoE switches for sale at approximately the same price as a "managed" backplane (backplane parts only, ignoring R&D and QA overhead). Difference is, Group B gets both power and network for that price.

For both customer groups, the PoE switch is also reusable if they decide not to keep their Uptime Labs chassis, whereas a backplane wouldn't be. If only a fraction of the chassis capacity were used, then with a backplane, you've wasted money on idle backplane space. With the PoE approach, you have switch ports that can be connected to other things.
The optimal power ratio is one person equals one unit of power.

The problem is any change to the Constitution would require 2/3 of the states to agree. Many of those states require supermajorities to pass an amendment. Generally any change that's big enough to go into the Constitution is big enough that a few people will oppose it. A few people is all it takes. We can't even pass an "equal rights for women" amendment now in the year 2021.

Hell, we probably couldn't pass the 13th amendment today if it were required.

Does every disease, injury, or ailment also have the potential for long term impacts? Are we only talking about it with COVID because of how closely we are examining it at maximal scale?
> I'm not sure what we're supposed to do with this information. Not vaccinate?

If the actual progression of Covid shows something like it is happening I would say that would be called for for everyone except the high-risk groups, yes.
This point needs to be stated more loudly.

People here pretend that if only USA was 100% vaccinated, then there will not be another variant.

There will always be another part of the world where a variant will arise, and eventually make its way here to the US.

OTOH, the USA is unique in the freedom it offers compared to any other country in the world, and a key ingredient in my opinion to its success.

One of the most shocking aspects to me is how the US citizens have changed to so nonchalantly willing to give away their freedoms and those of their neighbours.

I would not have believed if someone told me this 2 years ago.

And in the past years, I had often wondered about the 'good' Germans during the time of the Nazis, and why they did'nt first lift a finger when the atrocities against the Jews started, and later, a good number of them actively participated in elimination of the Jews.

the last year has been quite an eye opener. My hope is that more US citizens, regardless of their political persuasions and belief about the vaccines step back and think about the uniqueness of the freedoms they enjoy, and their willingness to throw it all away.
really? which strain/mutant of COVID did you get? There are quite some people get COVID twice, I hope you won't. One way to reduce such chance is to get the vaccine.
No, they ratified the amendment which had already abolished slavery, a purely symbolic act. The ratification was unanimous so it's not like there was any opposition to it in 1995.
