You're correct, I meant filibuster proof. On everything else you mention, the major pieces of the ACA-- given it was a #1 priority-- could have been laid down well in advance so that things were ready to go once the people were in place.

I am probably being unfair though: cleaning up the end of the financial crisis took significant effort as well, so managing that and any single piece of significant legislation should be counted as a productive half-term. I suppose that even if all pieces of the ACA had been in place for the earliest possible vote, it still would not have left a lot of time for another significant bit of progressive legislation.

However I stand by my core point, which was perhaps not well expressed: Obama's campaign message conveyed a significant progressive agenda (at least on the domestic front). I don't think that was false on his part. I think the extent to which that agenda was not achieved is because after the mid terms there was no chance of passing progressive legislation.

Again, I think I botched my prior comment by not making that clear. I may have botched this one as well... Let me know, I like to know when I'm wrong.
Low carb is a pretty hollow sentiment and the article leaves a lot to interpretation. When most of these types of pieces reference "low carb" what they're mostly pointing to is lowering processed / refined carbs. Meaning processed foods high in carbs and low in fiber. The majority of the time these processed foods also have significant amounts of sodium and sugar as additives as well.

But, just because a potato has quite a few carbs, trading it for processed junk low in "carbs" isn't always going to net the end user a reduction of diabetec risk or make them healthier. It's unfortunate that there's so much focus on carb cutting instead of a shift towards whole (unprocessed) foods as the base of a more holistic shift towards health.
Android works pretty much the same way. I'm usually listening on my PC, but I don't try to control other devices from there so I can't remember if it's possible there.
Neutralizing antibodies detected in B cells of 1918 influenza pandemic survivors
There's a manga called Monster by Naoki Urasawa. It's considered one of the best ever written both in and outside of Japan. Guillermo del Toro at one point tried to produce a film for it. It's a post-Cold War psychological thriller set in Germany and Czechoslovakia. It tackles quite a number of questions regarding the nature of evil. I believe it has a full English translation. If not, there's probably a comparable scanlation for it using some Google-fu.

There's a light novel series by the name of Spice and Wolf. It's fully translated in English. It's about a trader, a wolf goddess, and their adventures in capitalism-related escapades as they make their way across medieval Europe.

Both of them also have anime adaptations that are close to its source material in case your kids get bored (although Spice and Wolf's is incomplete).

And, while it's not a comic book, Anthem is a novella by Ayn Rand that depicts a world set in the future without the word "I" and how , in spite of this, one man rediscovers individuality.

The subject matter for all three of these works is thought-provoking enough and appropriately challenging for 13 year-olds
Google groups feels (UX & support wise) like one of those products that should have already been killed by Google. One of the reasons why Groups has survived so long must be Google's reluctance to give proper customer support for most of their products. Google groups is the only customer support you will get in many cases.
Nope its not a wedge issue so they wont fight over it especally as they profit from it. The left will pay lip service to halting forever wars, but will sign the next military procurement bill because it ostensibly brings in vague nonspecific 'jobs' to their district. The right on the other hand, just gets hard at the idea of more and bigger guns and signs it without needing a excuse.

> We took advantage of the 1918 virus sequencing and the resultant production of recombinant 1918 haemagglutinin (HA) protein antigen to characterize at the clonal level neutralizing antibodies induced by natural exposure of survivors to the 1918 pandemic virus.

> Here we show that of the 32 individuals tested that were born in or before 1915, each showed seroreactivity with the 1918 virus, nearly 90 years after the pandemic.

> Seven of the eight donor samples tested had circulating B cells that secreted antibodies that bound the 1918 HA.

> We isolated B cells from subjects and generated five monoclonal antibodies that showed potent neutralizing activity against 1918 virus from three separate donors.

> These antibodies also cross-reacted with the genetically similar HA of a 1930 swine H1N1 influenza strain, but did not cross-react with HAs of more contemporary human influenza viruses.

> The antibodies bound to the 1918 HA protein with high affinity, had exceptional virus-neutralizing potency and protected mice from lethal infection.

> Thus, these studies demonstrate that survivors of the 1918 influenza pandemic possess highly functional, virus-neutralizing antibodies to this uniquely virulent virus, and that humans can sustain circulating B memory cells to viruses for many decades after exposure-well into the tenth decade of life.
Home Depot lost over 50 million debit and credit cards. Linking your first and last name with your payment method / methods and submitting it to companies not known for their security may not be in your best (long-term) interest. Doubly so considering many company account forms have address as well - meaning anyone with access is very close to having everything required to open a bank account in your name.

You're not wrong though; arguments against loyalty cards are seemingly random chains of chance, and the information is being sold by Visa as well anyways. So I'm not surprised by the free market, laissez-faire ideals on display. I don't have my eyes on perfection, just on minimizing how many times I give out potentially damaging information. And if some other people start to push back as well? Well, the more the merrier.
I recall an investor friend who made a lot of money in the 1st dot com. He moved to nevada according to the law well before his windfall. CFTB hired private investigators to just follow and harass him constantly for almost two years while they tried and failed to assess him taxes he did not owe them.
Eh. Ish. They only support playback within a browser and have deprecated native playback support years ago. Also their ToS technically doesn't let you do a looot of things you may want. Like caching. Srsly, you're not allowed to cache things. Many 3rd parties stopped supporting spotify because the dev ToS kept getting worse.

Regardless, I'm excited about this little project even if it goes against the ToS.
I wish I were able to take this a step further and postulate the benefit cheap renewable energies would have on countries like Afghanistan.

Anybody have a good summary of what we would expect? I'm making the assumption it would be a net positive for the region.
This is a plausible argument.

But even more, no matter what group was making the decision, no one could have admitted, no matter how much they expected it, that the whole structure was going to rapidly disintegrate. Because the structure was their product - they produced and managed the thing.
I don't think that's the part where it hurts, what hurts is the fact that the marketer doesn't want to get into the details, so a nerd (myself included) would think they are trying to sell a bad product but make it look good. That's when it hurts I guess
When I started using Go I was more than sceptical. I had to mirgrate a CLI tool written in Kotlin (still my favorite language) because the memory consumption was to high.

After a while I actually understood why Go is such a successful language / ecosystem:

Go's priority is to make projects easier. It is doing so by all it's smaller and larger features respectivly skipped features. But one soon understands the big picture of the Go team. Go is designed by very experienced devs who knew what is important and what not.

In my Go projects, I don't have to worry about:

- Memory safety

- Tooling

- Performance

- Structure (once I understood the package desgin philosophie)

- Difficult syntax

- Concurrency

- Libraries, as we can do most with the standard lib

- Maturenes and stability

Instead I focus on the things that count:

- Solve the problem at hand

- Create correct, stable and maintable software

And as this was not enough, the Go team comes around the corner with an 5 % average performace gift.

Awesome.

At $100/ton (the currently accepted rate), that would have paid for the removal of 64 gigatons of carbon from the atmosphere. Roughly two years worth of emissions.

Although at that scale, you wonder if you could get down to $10/ton... in which case you'd have removed all of the carbon emissions from 2001 until now.

I honestly would push back on this, the car is more likely to recognize the arrows/lane markers and might not understand a brick wall - from what I can tell from watching the FSD ride-alongs, if they car doesn’t understand something it just ignores it.

Getting booster shots to lessen the risk to people that are at greater risk from the virus isn't a huge imposition.

It feels borderline irresponsible that Tesla is visual only. Why not collect another datapoint in the form of lidar? It's human lives at stake, don't tell me lidar is too costly: M robot vacuum uses Lidar and the thing cost 1/10th the price of putting leather seats on most cars today. It's excellent, the vacuum has no issues with my white walls and it paints beautiful maps of my apartment. I'd strap myself to it and go around town right now if it could only support the weight.
Flicktype charged users an in-app purchase fee of $10 to unlock the settings menu and gain autocorrect functionality. They ARE the scammers. Probably trying to add keylogger capabilities. Who knows. The fact that you all immediately blame Apple just shows how biased you are.

> I've even had to re-teach boolean algebra to the EEs who seem to have forgotten even Karnaugh maps and how to use them.

Heh heh. Electrical engineer here. My first and last use of Karnaugh maps for a job was 14-15 years after taking my digital logic course. The irony was that it was for a routine programming problem: The customer had given me with an ugly flowchart and I felt I must reduce that monstrosity to something much simpler. I did, but then my fellow coworkers would always wonder if my result was identical to the flowchart. I would tell them to make a truth table and confirm it. Finally one coworker did that and left a comment pointing out he had already verified it. In one sense, it made the code less "readable", but no one wanted the job of doing a direct translation of the flowchart.

I did have to Google to remind myself how to do them, but it took only a few minutes to figure out.

California ranks 8th when state and local taxes are taken into account

"Chromium Embeded Framework". When people say Electron based they don't really care if it's using Electron or any other browser. It's still a browser. And it's therefore at least 100x slower than it could be.
Depending on how you count, California has about the 10th highest total tax burden among US states. But in terms of educational achievement and government services we're certainly not getting our money worth. The state government is now largely controlled by public employee unions who treat it as a cash cow.

The first time I used it was to map parks and facilities for a state parks department, must have been in the early 2010s?

The design and data called for thousands of nested POIs all searchable by a range of filters (facilities, activities, etc), with pop-up info boxes and automatic clustering groups, with a custom layer from their XML-based geoserver full of park boundaries (polygons) which could filter the POIs within. By design this all required a round-trip to their geoserver which did a spatial query. The specification pushed one of the more popular JS mapping heavyweights of the day (I forget which) which due to the specific mix of required features ended up being painful, slow, janky, and with mobile-responsive becoming the frontend de-jure, a battle against nested layers of opinionated templating abstractions, all of which added up to a couple of hundred KB of dependencies and endless fragile callback-induced race-conditions, slow round-trips to their geoserver, and XML parsing issues. The mapping became a blocker on the project as the weeks wore on - hammer down one gopher, and another head would pop up. Design compromises were being considered to get the job over the line.

Enter Leaflet which was considered risky and new at the time, but on a whim and my own time I threw together a quick demo and got permission to spend a few days on it. I replaced weeks of frustrating spaghetti code and rebuilt a faster and more stable solution in a couple of days, polished it up after getting the "nod" and the site was finally ready to launch a couple of days later. Leaflet enabled the solution by being compact, only did the thing it was designed to do and didn't interfere elsewhere, and the plugins were tiny, did their job, and did it much more transparently. The main thing I had to do was transform their XML into GeoJSON on our webserver (their backend had only rudimentary GeoJSON support at the time - I think their internal teams either refused or were not allowed to update it?).

Anyway didn't mean to write a mini-blog post shilling Leaflet, it's a great library, my first experience of it was that it saved a seemingly doomed project, it does exactly what it says on the box and not much else, which is perfect when it's just a small component of a much larger and more complex project. It's my first go-to for interactive map rendering and even non-map stuff, like zoomable gigapixel photos.

The RSS feed on YouTube also vanished for a several hours late last night.

When it happened I was afraid it was gone for good. The feeds showed back up, but it really feels any feature of a site like YouTube or whatever that lets me consume content without being guided by a website designed to keep me engaged for as long as possible is doomed these days.
Big popular app, with only a 3.3 rating and many one stars. Big popular app that charges $10 to access settings menu and adjust autocorrect. Yeah right. Flicktype are losers.

Thanks for sharing!

What I heard from the news is that they claim the temperature will raise by 1.5 degree in a near future. Unfortunatly I didn't read the report and don't know what are the proposed policy steps. If you or someone else can summarize (without populism or moto like claims), what's their proposed solutions are and what are the risks, that might be of a big service to the community. Since then we ca exchange data based opinions if the proposed solution seems viable or not and that can move a discussion forward.

Last time, I had a vacation and was able to listen to a in depth discussion of political steps to solve climate change was this https://youtu.be/nNIcHIjFNxs
At the time my impression was that it is very hard to make a real progress in this.
My oldest friend was held back in kindergarten. That’s how I met him.
"The Biden administration is expected to announce that Americans who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 should receive a booster shot to ensure continued protection against the virus, according to people familiar with the discussions.

The booster shot would be administered eight months after receiving the second dose of the vaccine, the people said.

(More to come.)"
Just last month I was in a target and they had a plain cloths security officer following a black teenager around the store (and not being very subtle about it IMO). I went up to the teenager and told him he was being followed. That seems like hostile behavior to me, but I'm sure it varies store-to-store.

I've read that some families would send one son to fight for the Taliban, and the other to fight for the Afghan army or police as a kind of insurance policy: "The power of kinship led to a common arrangement whereby extended families have protected themselves by sending one son to fight with the government army or police (for pay) and another son to fight with the Taliban. This has been a strategy in many civil wars, for example, among English noble families in the 15th-century Wars of the Roses. It means that at a given point, one of the sons can desert and return home without fearing persecution by the winning side."

>> Do they get paid for taking care of bees on their land?

A friend of mine is a beekeeper in one of the northern US states. Bee keepers there keep bees on farmland in exchange for most of the honey. The farmers generally get more than they can personally eat. Sometimes keepers will take a farm from another keeper by offering more honey/a sweeter deal (ha!). Farmers also get crops pollinated for free, so it’s a win/win for them.
The US has the most expensive healthcare because of the healthcare system, not because of the diseases.

Canadians get the same medications as Americans, and for the most part the same treatment. Everything is more expensive the US because the healthcare system takes advantage of the sick, before treating them.
Thank you. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It's not just a perception that American cars of the last few decades tend to have more maintenance issues and therefore tend to end up totaled earlier; it's, like, the truth.
You have to fulfill the residency requirements for state X while also not looking like you live in state Y.

Like another poster said, you can go to South Dakota for literally a day or two and fulfill their residency requirements, but that is not likely to be enough for tax purposes. You should be employed by a company registered in that state; you should have a physical mailing address in that state (e.g. a PMB); you should file a USPS change of address form listing your new mailing address as your official address and change your registered address with service providers like banks and telecom; you should avoid spending more than 182 days per year in any other state as another poster mentioned; etc.
Yes this is it. American taxpayer money went to americans mostly and some of its allies. 6.4T just did not go to poor communities of color.
I'd me more worried about adversarial employees. Tesla has a reputation of working people to the bone for not much comp compared to the competition. I can't imagine they are connecting their stressed workers to psychologists. If one engineer just cracked one day, they could potentially push an update to all cars that does something terrible.

No free meds in Canada. Well, not for most people. And no dental care coverage either. Just doctor/hospital care.
Education isn't almost free. Annual tuition is $7k-$8k CAD ($6.5kish USD) a year.
And subsidized child care is... dicey. Depends on province, etc. and unlikely to find availability.

As for parental leave, could you live on $595 CAD ($472 USD) a week? That's the maximum... Not ideal in the Toronto area where the average for a 1 bedroom apartment is around $2000 CAD a month. It certainly helps a lot when you have a working spouse, but it's not enough to raise a child on your own.

It's not a worker's paradise up here. It's better than it could be though.
I'm not sure "biting the hand that feeds you" gets more literal than this.
