Pico-8 is absolutely worth $15 IMO, and the creator more than deserves the asking price.

Sure, but would you consider 30% coverage from the government to be "universal healthcare"? Because that's what you get for $900B/yr.

And we already have a public/private mix of healthcare with medicare/medicaid/ACA/workplace offered healthcare. That system, today, covers 90% of the population.

yeah i always did best playing as Zhone the monster nation, the ability to send cheap harpies out to convert builders units of the enemy to your side was broken. Why yes I would like all of the available units in the game in my faction. also your units spawners being mobile and able to take offensive action while the rest had permanently placed buildings for spawning units made it far more powerful.

The U.S. spends among the most on education of any developed country, both in absolute terms and a percentage of GDP. Our education spending is over 6% of GDP: https://waterpedia.wiki/image/education-spending-share-gdp-s....

All of the people involved in these foreign war debacles were highly pedigreed. (Fun fact: the President of Afghanistan, who fled Kabul yesterday, is an Ivy League-educated professor who "literally wrote the book on fixing failed states.")

The education, in fact, the problem. Universities is where people learn hare-brained ideas like Wilsonianism. It's where people learn to view government as a set of laws and policies and boxes on org charts, rather than the manifestation of the culture and political tradition of people.

Coming from a traditional Muslim country ourselves, my family knew in 2001 that nation building in Afghanistan was an absurd idea. Our own country has a thousand-year head start on Afghanistan in terms of civilization, and has still struggled with democracy. It's not in the people. But Americans are so far separated from their culture--that is to say, their village won't die of starvation if they indulge in cultural experimentation--they can't even locate the wellspring of democracy in culture and traditions.
TeslaDeaths.com estimates Tesla at ~240M miles per death as of late 2019 (1). NHTSA puts the national rat for all vehicles in 2020 at ~90M miles per death. If we exclude motorcycles, the national rate is 104M miles per death in 2020.

Agree. I can program in pure languages like Haskell, Idris etc. but still prefer to program ‘in anger” in OO languages. Having easy access to mutable state is just so damn convenient. As long as you are careful how you do it. Mutable state is a very sharp tool so be careful when you use it.

You usually want to release non-memory resources deterministically, but finalizers in C#/Java/Go are not deterministic. That's why finalizers usually are not used for resource management. Instead, C# has using statements, Java try-with-resources, Go defer statements.
Yes, I was in the community for several years and then "left" but still spend a lot of time on its edges. I'm not trying to call them "neckbeards" (although I knew many of those too), only saying that there is an air of superiority without any actually radical content.

The problem with this tool is you can't review your extracts at the same time you are reviewing your flashcards.

For example, if you have a list of 50 PDFs and you want to incrementally read them, Polarized doesn't have a way of scheduling when you're going to read all 50 PDFs. Supermemo, you don't have worry about that. IMO, that's the key feature of Incremental Reading.

I can chuck dozens of articles at a time into Supermemo, and do not have to worry about forgetting to read them. They'll show up in my reviews over time.

This almost doesn't happen when your tools are good. At Google the Kythe tool (https://kythe.io) gracefully deals with templates, macros, and much more. Both "go to definition" and "find references" just work with 99.9% of C++ code, including within complicated macros and templates.

Every purchase incurred on a credit card will only go through if you approve it via a call or text message sent when the purchase is incurred.

In my day job I manage ~8 deep learning models that make decisions automatically. I adjust 3 inputs, and the models output a lot of data that I use to make adjustments the next day. The issue is.. its incredibly muddy. Making the same change across models, according to documentation, will produce similar results.

Having only had this job for a couple months I honestly cannot tell if the input -> output is just very very muddy, or if the documentation is wrong and the models all behave differently. Similar to Crawl I can't see behind the curtain.. my inputs are generic "factor 1", "factor 2" and my outputs have more meaning but are subject to unknowable fluctuations from outside sources.

Bringing Saddam Hussein and the invasion of Iraq into the discussion is a distraction, as this is most clearly regarded as a separate conflict launched under the cover of an invasion of Afghanistan which was, unlike that in Iraq, a response to an actual attack and continuing threat. In addition, and per my previous comment, the acquiescence of Congress further demonstrated the limitations of its nominal power to veto such actions.

Well, this is embarrassing. I'm using a small Rust example to make a point about C oddities, and then a Rust Core team member points out a syntax error in my example!

In my defense, I'd say the return keyword - combined with the different semicolon rules - is one of the more confusing and subtle syntactic differences when learning Rust from a C/C++ background. After a few weeks of programming C++ I always use return more often than necessary.

I don't know who was saying this (I wasn't personally reading it), but it was obviously dumb.

The question really isn't whether vaccinated people get sick, or even whether they spread the virus, but whether they end up in the hospital. Right now, if you're vaccinated, you are extraordinarily unlikely to end up in the hospital.

Not all: people at risk (older people, people with auto-immune disease and people with existing conditions), just not healthy, active, young people.

> Demonstrated long-term health problems vs potential ones?

The demonstrated effects you are referring to only affect a minuscule portion of people who get COVID. So it's not exactly demonstrated vs potential. One could also point to the minority of vaccinated people who got ill or died and call that demonstrated.

> It isn't. There's not really a nicer way to phrase it. Your sources are questionable, you should fact check them better, you should do your own research. The papers are free to read, there's no excuse. You're Dunning-Kruger-ing this. Get your shit together.

If anything, you're the one who's overly confident of their knowledge here.

Why didn't you quote some percentages on the risk of getting long COVID? Right, because there are none. Because we don't know what we don't know, just as much as on your side of the argument as on mine. The only difference is: you think what you say is the gospel.

Total U.S. assets amount to about $225 trillion. Spending 1/700th of that per year for the past 20 years to protect those assets seems a reasonable investment. That’s not to say this money was spent wisely, in hindsight (which is always 20/20).

I'm not sure if its an absolute requirement, but remember you are trying to make it appear as if you have moved to that state and made it your state of residence. Not filing a change of address form looks strange without any other data in that context.

If you want to avoid people knowing your address, I would recommend using a "private mailbox" (PMB) service and making that your official address. This gives you an address that is recognized as a physical address by most services and USPS but basically functions as a mail proxy: they will receive your packages / letters and forward them to another address you provide them. If you are concerned about stalkers or other hostile people, you could have the PMB forward mail and packages to a P.O. Box or commercial mail receiving agency (UPS Store et al) which is not where you live. Escapees and America's Mailbox are examples of PMBs with receiving facilities in South Dakota.
> Remember that Bill Barr had the unitary executive theory in mind long before Trump came into power, but previous Republican leadership considered it too radical for the American public to accept.

You're invoking an anachronism--it wasn't until the 20th century that we even got the idea of "independent" bureaucrats insulated from accountability to the elected President. George Washington's original cabinet consisted of just four members: Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of War Henry Knox, and Attorney General Edmund Randolph. All of those were plainly intended to be subordinate to Washington as the President.
Sorry, you’re very confused about the NAT that is widely deployed. It’s absolutely not 1:1 NAT because that buys effectively nothing from a scaling perspective.

> But even then, the added security of a stateful firewall as provided by a router is dubious. You know what else has a "stateful firewall"? Your kernel's TCP/IP stack. It isn't gonna accept random connections from the Internet unless there is an application actively listening to a port and accepting packets.

That’s the fucking problem. All kinds of vulnerable/misconfigured software just binds to 0.0.0.0:<whatever> and calls it good. My fridge does this, my washer does this, my TV does this. This is the world of IoT.

> And I trust the Linux/NT/BSD kernel to be more secure with ensuring that than a binary firmware blob from a router manufacturer

It’s not, it takes a single API call to have a program start listening because that’s the entire job of the kernel. You have to configure a firewall on top of it to make sure vulnerable software isn’t exposed to the internet.

That's a great point.

You could argue despite the huge number of physical degrees of freedom, the operations on DNA can be reduced to copy, repair, express, suppress. On the other hand, there's still a ton of intrinsic complexity in storing a huge amount of data, and yeah some nucleotides are totally essential.

The other thing a wonder about: sure, maintaining a proteome is hugely complicated, but how much of this complexity goes into maintaining homeostasis (e.g. metabolism, cytoskeloton and membrane maintenance, replication,...) vs. enabling computation. Seems like silicon has the advantage here.
I guess I defaulted to understanding this in terms of US troops. What three letter agencies do is beyond me.
I mostly agree. However you could use the same argument to dismiss any programming language the moment any team is failing using the language. No programming language has a zero fail track record. Because success depends on context and team much more than programming language.
You can't be serious... Do you think they just had a preset number of programs and that's it?

AP has the luxury of being able to be turned off in less than ideal conditions. Human drivers can't do that.

You're correct that it's possible for vaccines to be distributed in a way that promotes mutations[1]. You're also correct that there are many factors, including number of times the virus replicates and also selective pressure.

At this point, it looks like our mRNA vaccines:

- leave a short enough window between doses to minimize mutations

- reduce viral load within a vaccinated person[2]

- prevent many transmissions entirely[3][4][5]

...which, added all up, appears to net out the way you'd expect: the vaccine reduces the risk of mutations.
