At the risk of having everyone jump down my throat for saying it, I feel very much the same.

I'm consciously aware of how many (or how few) years I have left, and I would never have agreed to losing two of them by not being able to see my family (including 2 babies born) in that time).

I don't really have a problem with social distancing/masks/quarantine/etc, but locking people in their homes (and locking people out of their countries) was entirely too much. "Living" shouldn't have been treated as just a transmission vector for COVID.
> linear pumps have been around for quite some time and aren't dominant in any high

Every house in Japan with a small scale septic system has a linear pump for injecting air. This may sound niche but in fact large parts of the tokyo metro area are not on centralized sewer systems. Thus there should be at least 10M+ houses with such motors running continuously in Japan alone.

The pumps run 24/7 without maintenance for well over a decade.

Which also suggests there are bigger reasons not to use such pumps in AC. As any Japanese manufacturer will know of such pumps.

Every time something is proven wrong in the Bible, someone always pipes up with "THAT was metaphorical!"

When science is proven wrong, the theory is updated and we move on.

To be fair, some religions update their info and move on. But the majority staunchly stick to their guns regardless of the evidence.
Be careful. It takes conscious effort to read sceptically; whenever your attention slips you'll find yourself absorbing the views the writer wants you to.
As someone who’s dealt with this exact situation, someone with a “bowel issue” likely doesn’t take 5 minute poops unless they have diarrhea. 20 minutes is about normal when you’re constipated but have to poop 5 times a day. If you don’t go to the bathroom you’re in pain and unfocused until you poop and until you’re done pooping. What’s spent in those 20 minutes? Dreading people will say exactly what you just said while dealing with your very real but very embarrassing chronic illness. Can’t hold a job down but can’t qualify for disability. Luckily I’ve made strides in my health that I don’t live that hell anymore but not everyone is that lucky.
When I worked at one of these warehouses, anything over 30 minutes per day of 'time off task' out of a 10 hour shift was supposed to get you written up. Time off task being defined as any period greater than 5 minutes without doing work that the computer tracked.
>> This is a failure to demonstrate how promoting language standards may result in increased discrimination.

> It does that right now, no "may" about it.

If language standards indeed cause discrimination, please demonstrate how. Otherwise this is a baseless claim.

> I've literally had people tell that they assume someone is stupider if they use the "me" instead of "I" in an "and" clause.

So you think if a standard English did not exist, then people would no longer judge others who speak differently from them as stupid?

> A good language standard would be determined inclusive organization that is representative of all its speakers, would be a living standard that changes as the underlying language and it's dialects change (i.e descriptive), and would understood as common reference point for communication rather than as the one correct way of using that language ( i.e. not proscriptive).

Right so you support the idea of a language standard, likely for all the benefits I’ve listed, except when people use them to make other people feel bad. Just a note to everyone reading this: the subject of making people feel bad is a social phenomenon that is entirely orthogonal to whether or not a language standard is “proscriptive.” The term he is looking for is “normative” and all standards, language or not, must be normative to a degree.
I mean where you mount the battery pack on the bike. On a rear rack above the tire is probably the easiest but its not great for stopping or handling, especially if its more than ten pounds.

On the down tube is better. Carrying the batteries in a back pack can be done. I did that for a few months.
Oakland officers seem to be able to significantly rack up the overtime these days.

Kind of makes sense though, most officers start there then move to a safer place once they get enough experience. Remember seeing billboards advertising $80k starting salary 10+ years ago while driving through town.

I don't know exactly what Amazon asked for in this case, but any time for me in the past at either school, work, or otherwise, when "doctor's note" is mentioned, they aren't asking for a definitive diagnosis. In fact, I've never even seen a doctor's note that specifically said "[name] has influenza/rhinovirus/UTI". It's always been sufficient for the note to just say something like "I am a doctor and [name] was seen by me for digestive tract issues, please accommodate them." I can't imagine that wouldn't have sufficed here, too.

Yeah, all lithium batteries ship via ground, but that's generally because cargo planes are basically like shipping things in the cargo section of passenger airplanes, which generally isn't advisable.
Nobody would use cgi for (a) (cgi integrates with webservers, so you already have one to serve your static documents).

You still care about xss (and other vulns, although the technology the grandparent mentioned is specificly for xss) in case b just like case c.

- you might host other things on that domain (or even subdomain, which is a lot trickier but not impossible to attack), and this could be a launching point of an attack.

- attackers might rewrite your page to mislead people, e.g. as part of a phishing attack, to harm your reputation or just to redirect to advertisers.

The impact of any security vulnerability is going to depend on what you are doing and what you have to lose. It seems less significant in case B, but its a mistake to extrapolate as its impossible to tell without business-specific context. Maybe the simple list page is listing out life-saving information.

Mitsubishi already have a (relatively) low-cost scroll compressor for air conditioning applications that works very well.
But it wasn't "thinking" that obtained that wealth.
LG been making linear piston compressors for mass market for more than a decade.

The true breakthrough here will happen with solid state gas compressors.

Solid state compressors already approach, or pass 50% efficiency — something only possible in very large, staged, centrifugal compressors for large AC systems. A solid state compressor, unlike that, will be equally efficient regardless the size.
That sounds like an edge case that should just be accounted for in finder. lgnoring for certain file sizes is a fast solution that can be expanded upon as your thumbnailing programs grow in efficiency and improve their handling of low-IO situations or large files.
Bloomberg has major problems; they have no proper separation between advertising and editorial (a high-profile article on corruption in the Chinese government, following up on an article that had narrowly missed out on the Pulitzer the year before, was spiked in what very much appeared to be a move to protect Bloomberg terminal sales in China), and they still haven't retracted (or clearly stated that they're standing behind) their dubious "hack chip" story.

Enjoyed doing FastCGI with this framework, but simple examples don't present realistic complexity. Struggled with ways to create a small web app while maintaining simplicity similar to the examples provided (such as here - https://learnbchs.org/easy.html ) even though semantics wasn't that different (present a form, after accepting data make a request, present a transformed result).
Your phrasing leaves out a key party these killings: drivers. Accurately rephrased:

* Only 30% of drivers drive an SUV or truck, but they are responsible for 40% of pedestrian fatalities

* Trucks and SUV drivers are twice as likely to kill a child (aged 5-19 in the study), when compared to sedan drivers

* When truck and SUV drivers hit a pedestrian, they are 2-3x more likely to kill them than sedan drivers

The idea is good, but the approach cannot execute sufficiently. First, jc has to individually support each program and program mode, so improvements are bottlenecked on jc. Everytime you load a program you need to load all jc parsers. I also wonder how resistant the parsing is to surprises (filenames with bracket characters in ls output for example).

Second, this does not handle interprogram piping (e.g. 'find . | xargs dosomething'). We have filtering to console but little piping (we can map the json output to a single column and pipe that, using the textual interface with all its deficiencies).

To be clear, the author has no choice (rewriting all userland is a daunting concept), but a proper approach for 21th century Unix would be for all utilities to output and receive json (or whatever format is chosen) natively, and that the console would then be able to mange that into a textual format for the user.

I fully understand the design intentions to grow cars and crossovers. You need to expand the exterior if you want to keep constant interior space despite a bunch of legally mandated engineering goals that cost interior space.

I don't see what engineering goals are causing fullsize trucks to get so tall. They could have kept interior space constant with a very slight increase in width. NVH could be driving it somewhat but not that much.
They also have enough fossil fuels for desalination. I wonder they choose which plant.

Interesting that you’re getting downvoted for the same sentiment that Kary Mullis, inventor of PCR, talked about. He said the test is not a standalone diagnostic because if the amplification is high enough you can find anything in anyone [paraphrase]

For most of the pandemic, in fact roughly coinciding with release of the vaccines, the standard amplification cycle was very high. Then they reduced it.

Flagged in 30s, that is also odd.
If it’s happening that frequently, and it’s not due to contact with flesh, then you’re cutting material that you shouldn’t be, or you should be disabling the protection feature.

As noted above/below, most US states already track mileage via checkpointing (at sale, recurring inspection, registration renewal, etc). I’m not suggesting they track anything they aren’t already doing. Nor is the inspection invasive: you write down your mileage on the form and signing affirms you aren’t lying.

I also don’t intend that the mileage basis would be designed to stop driving. It just seems more fair to tax that way. Right now I pay a flat tax for my EV. If I drive daily, I’m probably underpaying my share of road maintenance. If I drive rarely, I’m overpaying. Gas taxes already roughly track usage because the more you drive / the bigger your car, the more gas it takes to move it around. So again, this isn’t changing how states conceive of road maintenance, just leveling the playing field for EVs and hybrids.

It's strange. I'll see people compare U.S. numbers to the numbers from Germany, Vietnam, and New Zealand. Then when you Sweden is compared to other European countries, they'll suddenly say that you can't make such a comparison and Sweden should only be compared to other Nordic countries.

When it comes to Covid it seems there's a lot of shifting standards of evidence.
OK, take climate change. Here's the data. That's not politicized (or at least, that's not what I'm talking about). "Vote Democrat, because climate change" is politicized. And when the Democratic program is going to not actually address climate change in any meaningful way, then people tune out on those who say "but science" to tell people how they should vote.

Or take vaccines. The data is there that vaccines are helpful. But "get vaccinated or you're a Nazi" is... something else. It's politicizing. It's also stupidly ineffective, because what you're saying is ridiculous, and people know it. So they tune you out.
So what you’re saying is: it’s reasonable to dehumanize blue collar workers because they might be lazy?

> giving a pass to a duck, ... non-native species introduced by people.

Because the duck isn't invasive.

> Why are Portlanders tearing down ivy but not killing house sparrows?

Because the ivy is invasive.

> Portland is the Rose City, famous for the rose gardens. Those are non-native flowers, no one is running around tearing them up. Environmentalism generally stops when things start

Because the roses aren't invasive.

> house sparrows

The house sparrows are invasive (at least in the northeast, not sure about the PNW). A lot of don't realize this, because they're ubiquitous. Same with starlings.

Here's where we get into the topic of humans being humans, generally acting in response to straightforward preferences.

Mass slaughter of cute (and familiar to the point where people don't realize they're not native) little birds to protect other little birds is a tougher pill to swallow than just ripping up some plants and planting different plants. This is too icky for a lot of people to consider.

Moreover, the effects are too subtle for most people to notice, who are generally not "in tune" with nature at all. How many people can even identify different sparrow species in the first place?

I don't think this amounts to some kind of double standard like you seem to be implying. People just find it harder to kill things that have blood and brains, than to kill things that have roots and leaves, especially if said blood-and-brain things are cute and/or familiar.

> Humans and their dogs and livestock are invasive and destructive

Humans: And? This is like saying that environmentalists are hypocrites because they drive cars.

Cats: Cats that are allowed to roam free outdoors are a big problem. I think people who actually are interested in this topic know that, and as far as I know this notion has been gaining popularity in recent years. People want to let little Fluffy roam free, and don't want to think of him as a bloodthirsty predator, whose aggregate behavior amounts to ecological-scale genocide. This thought crosses both the icky line and the selfish-human line.

Dogs: Arguably, only dogs with inept owners are invasive/destructive. Although once in a while even a good dog will dig up a native cottontail burrow, chase after a woodchuck, or scare off some deer. As with cats, it crosses both the icky line and the selfish-human line.
58 year old MTB’er here. I was looking forward to getting an eMTB in a few years to keep riding. Feels like the window is closing as many place around me ban eBikes for the same reasons you describe. It’s going to be pretty disappointing if I can only ride at the “eBike Park” full of kids on Sur Rons (basically an electric dirt bike). Oh well, I can still ride for now.

> Alienation Is Not ‘Bullshit’: An Empirical Critique of Graeber’s Theory of BS Jobs
> David Graeber’s ‘bullshit jobs theory’ has generated a great deal of academic and public interest. This theory holds that a large and rapidly increasing number of workers are undertaking jobs that they themselves recognise as being useless and of no social value. Despite generating clear testable hypotheses, this theory is not based on robust empirical research. We, therefore, use representative data from the EU to test five of its core hypotheses. Although we find that the perception of doing useless work is strongly associated with poor wellbeing, our findings contradict the main propositions of Graeber’s theory. The proportion of employees describing their jobs as useless is low and declining and bears little relationship to Graeber’s predictions. Marx’s concept of alienation and a ‘Work Relations’ approach provide inspiration for an alternative account that highlights poor management and toxic workplace environments in explaining why workers perceive paid work as useless.

I don’t think we disagree? Everybody who drives pays taxes towards road maintenance. Right now, gas taxes apply roughly based on usage (more driving / more weight translates into more taxes paid). Basing directly on weight + mileage accounts for a world where EVs/hybrids exist, and so the gas tax no longer effectively covers those drivers.
The whole thing is eerily dystopian!

If the data in the graph shared by kybernetikos is correct, the claim that 'it's all because of elder deaths in early 2020' seems to be misguided, given the 2021-01 peak, and the steady first-place position throughout the last ~18 months.

It’s a single common word in the middle of the sentence. Doesn’t it have to be a scare quote? It wouldn’t make much sense to actually be quoting just a single noun with zero context.
"Lockdown" is also an almost meaningless term. People adjusted behavior almost everywhere--including Sweden. Furthermore, very few places actually implemented a hard lockdown that largely prevented people from leaving their homes. Certainly no where (?) in the US did. Restaurants closed for indoor dining isn't really a lockdown.

It's very hard to correlate policies to outcomes.
I’m suggesting mileage and mass both be used as factors, so your small economy car would certainly minimize the taxes.

Regulations are forcing up the size of everything short of a fullsize truck or van. Cars in various segments (compact, midsize, crossover, midsize crossover, etc, etc) have set ranged of interior dimensions. For example, a Civic will always be about the same width as a CRV (same platform) and an Accord will always be wider than both. But all these cars have grown a lot compared to their 90s counterparts. With regulations requiring thick doors, pillars, etc. the exteriors of all these vehicles have grown and interior space has stayed closer to constant.

Obviously the pressure is less the bigger the vehicle is so this doesn't explain modern trucks but the pressure is definitely felt everywhere, not just as the small end.

Motor cycles get treated with a lot more respect than bikes. I had a 50km/hr ebike with red back light, front white blnky light. Cars turning left into your opposite lane of travel were the worst. They never judged my speed correctly and there were many instances where I had to emergency brake to avoid a t-bone many times.

I only road residential roads and bike paths, planned my route carefully to avoid highways. Key things are to take the lane if you can do the speed limit and only give it up if safe to do so. Avoid driving close to parked cars that will open their door and kill you. Watch left turns in front of you.
